Koch Ends Take-Home
Vehicles For City Employees
Mayor Thomas Koch
has directed that more than
30 city-owned vehicles will
no longer be allowed to be
taken home by employees as
part of an ongoing tighten-
ing effort at City Hall.
Koch advised all depart-
ment heads to immediately
stop allowing employees
in all city departments, in-
cluding police, fire, public
works and parks, to take
use of their city vehicles to
commute back and forth to
work.
The Mayor's Office has
also turned over a car as-
signed to City Hall to the
School Department.
In a memo to department
heads last week. Koch said
only the police chief, fire
chief and DPW commis-
sioner would continue driv-
ing city vehicles because of
the need to respond to emer-
gencies.
"This is not about abuse,
it is about finding every way,
big and small, to change the
way government does busi-
ness." said Koch Tuesday.
The decision comes after
a year, which saw a total ot
$5 million in budget cuts
and the likelihood that more
substantial cutbacks uill be
required as the city copes
with the state and national
fiscal crisis.
Cost Of Parking Up In New Year
A few months ago, the
cost of driving a car went up
along with the pnce of gaso-
line. Now it is the cost of
leaving the car that has gone
up.
The monthly fee for The cost of hourly park-
parking in the Ross Parking ing rose a dollar in the sec-
Garage and the John end week in December.
Hancock Parking Lot went
to $50 on the first of the new
year, up $ 10 from the previ-
ous charge.
The first hour is still free
but after that the next hour is
$ 1 .50, the next $3 and so on

$50,000 Grant To Help Find
Quincy's Water/Sewer Leaks
Karl Roos Back In
School Board Race
Quincy has won a $50,000
state grant to broaden its ef-
forts to find and fix water
main leaks that once cost the
city 37 cents of every $ 1 it
paid the MWRA for water.
The grant from
the Department of
Environmental Protection
will enable the DPW to con-
tinue an overhaul of water
and sewer operations, in-
cluding an aggressive inves-
tigation of leaking under-
ground pipes.
"Our team has targeted
every facet of water and
sewer operations and Hxing
our leaking, aging pipes is
a critical part of that strat-
egy that saves money for
ratepayers," said Mayor
Thomas Koch.
"We pay the MWRA
for all the water that goes
through the pipes, even
when it leaks out, so this
program is vital to ensuring
that we account for every
drop possible."
Prior to Koch's reform
program, the city could not
account for 37 cents of every
dollar it paid the MWRA.
Today the loss is down to 17
cents, says Michael Coffey,
the DPW's business man-
ager.
The DPW won the DEP
grant by showing concrete
evidence that it was working
to conserve water and con-
trol costs, said Coffey. The
DPW recently started using
a miniature camera to detect
leaks in pipes.
The reform program has
identified dozens of illegal
water hook-ups, increased
collection rates, corrected
billing practices and a $3
million deficit and proposed
a new ordinance imposing
stiff penalties on anyone
found tampering with me-
ters.
Officials said they be-
lieve water rates increased
substantially less this year
than anticipated thanks to
the reform program.
"I am proud of our team's
work to date," said Koch,
"but we know there is much
work to do.
"This grant, and all of
the reforms, are the prod-
uct of hard work by a lot of
people and we will continue
to attack this issue head-on.
Ultimately, our ratepayers
will see dividends.
Energy Bucks Sends Those

Energy Bucks at 1-866-537-
7267 to see what energy ef-
ficiency and cost-saving ser-
vices you qualify for.
"With the current eco-
nomic climate, this winter
expects to be difficult for
low income and working
families, and the elderly
trying to heat their homes,"
said Morrissey.
"We want to spread the
word that help is still avail-
able as that families can stay
warm."
Energy Bucks is an in-
tegrated campaign that cre-
ates "one stop shopping" for
energy assistance services,
enabling residents to better
understand and apply for
programs that can help them
manage their energy costs..
"Many people go with-
out help simply because
they don't know about all
the great programs avail-
able to them," said Elliott
Jacobson. chairman of the
Low-Income Affordability
Network (LEAN).
"Even those who already
receive fuel assistance may
qualify for a discount utility
rate or energy efficiency ser-
vices."
Typically, a family of
four can qualify for some
form of assistance or energy
efficiency service if their in-
come is less than $4,124.
These services can save
eligible families up to 30 per
cent of their energy bills by
weatherizing their homes,
repairing heating systems,
discounting utility rates and
obtaining fuel assistance.
Energy Bucks links resi-
dents to programs that will
help them stretch their dol-
lars as thew weather gets
colder and budgets get tight-
er.
Karl Roos, twice an un-
successful candidate by way
of a convention vote for a
vacant seat, has again an-
nounced his candidacy for
the School Committee, this
time for election by the peo-
ple.
*i am an underdog," said
the 4 1 -year-old Wollaston
resident. "I am not an insid-
er to Quincy politics. I don't
have family in City Hall. I
am new to politics. 1 have
never worked on a campaign
before.
"For my campaign to
be successful, it is going to
have to be a grass roots ef-
fort. I am going to have to
rely on the support and help
of everyday parents and the
people of Quincy, who care
about the schools and the
city."
The candidate is plan-
ning a campaign kickoff
Thursday, Jan. 22, at the
Best Western Adams Inn. 29
Hancock St., North Quincy,
and has set up a website.
rQQSschoolcommittce.cQm ,
to get out word of his cam-
paign.
Roos was a candidate a
year ago to fill the School
Committee vacancy cre-
ated when James Timmins
resigned to become city
solicitor but lost to Nick
Puleo in a 10-4 vote of the
City Council and the School
Board.
Four months ago, he
was again a convention
KARL ROOS
candidate to succeed Kevin
Mulvey, who resigned to
become human resources
director in the schools. He
withdraw before the vote,
however, and Ron Mariano
was elected.
Roos said he received a
tremendous amount of en-
couragement from his par-
ticipation m the two conven-
tions.
"Parents and others have
been coming up to me ex-
pressing their support," said
Roos, who lives at 8 Park
St. with his wife. Marsha,
and their three children, all
of them in Quincy public
schools.
""They (the parents)
have been asking me when I
am going to run. They want
someone who has children
in the Quincy schools. They
want someone who does
things for the community.
They want someone with
real world experience. They
want someone who is going
to be working for them."
Roos has close to 20
years experience in the phar-
maceutical industry in the
fields of marketing, product
management, project man-
agement and sales.
"My professional experi-
ence has taught me how to
listen to people, solve prob-
lems, get results, work with
people and be held account-
able," he said "These skills
are important for a School
Committee members."
He and his wife founded
Wollaston T-Ball six sea-
sons ago. He has been a Cub
Scout leader at Pack 21. St.
Ann's Church and a mem-
ber of the Wollaston School
PTO for four years, three of
them as a board member and
treasurer.
"I have always been in-
volved in the community
and try to give back and
help in any way that I can."
he said.
Roos is a graduate
of Boston College High
School, attending on an
academic scholarship, and
UMass-Amherst with a ma-
jor in finance and a minor
in economics and a mas-
ter's degree in finance from
Bentley College.
'T come from a work-
ing class family," he said.
My father was a janitor and
my mother was a teachers'
aide. I always had to work
my way through school. I
understand and appreciate
the importance of education
and the opportunity it gives
people."

Redesign Of North Quincy
Trouble Spot Begins
Engineers have begun the
redesign of the intersection
of Hancock and Squantum
streets near North Quincy
High School for a project to
improve pedestrian safety
and imprt>ve traffic at the
busy intersection. Mayor
Thomas Koch announced
Tuesday.
The intersection has been
a trouble spot identified by
North Quincy parent groups,
MBTA commuters and oth-
ers for some time, and plan-
ning for a full reconstruction
of the intersection began last
year.
"We identified this in-
tersection as a priority, and
we working hard toward a
permanent solution. This
design work is vital to mak-
ing it happen." said Koch,
who praised the School
Committee's public safety
committee for its focus on
the issue.
The $32,(KK) contract
with BHIA Group will pay
for engineering and design
work needed to make the
intersection safer for both
walkers and drivers. The
crossing is one of the busiest
in the city during rush hour,
complicated by the nearby
school and T station, offi-
cials said.
Parents have raised the
issue for years and Koch
pledged during his first year
that a major reconstruc-
tion of the intersection was
necessary and would be pri-
oritized. State Sen. Michael
Morrissey successfully lob-
bied for $3 million to do the
construction work as part
of a statewide transporta-
tion bond bill, although that
spending has not been final-
ized.
Koch noted no state
money would be released
for the project unless design
and engineering work was
completed.
With planning for the
large-scale work underway,
the city took several steps
this year to improve safety
at the intersection, includ-
ing a stepped-up police
presence before and after
school, and improved mark-
ings and signals. The city's
traffic engineer is also regu-
larly monitoring the area,
officials said.

Sales
County Real Estate
Down 42.6% From '07 Quarter
The total value of real es-
tate sales in Norfolk County
for the final quarter of 2008
was down 42.6 per cent from
the same period in 2007, set-
tling at $894.5 million, ac-
cording to Register of Deeds
William P. O'Donnell.
"However," he reported,
"market activity did not
decline as sharply as val-
ues with the 2008 quarter
showing that a total of 3,1 1 5
deeds were recorded which
was down only 1 1 .8 per cent
compared to the 2007 quar-
ter."
The average sale price on
deeds more than $ 1 ,000 was
down to $494,469, a decline
of 34.8 per cent in a year.
"Although the Norfolk
County real estate market
continues to reflect the se-
vere problems that confront
the region and the nation,
the average price during the
just completed quarter was
off only 4.2 per cent from
the previous quarter - - July
to September." he said.
Mortgage recording ac-
tivity continued to decline,
down 29.3 per cent with
5^69 new mortgages re-
corded in the latest quarter.
Total mortgage value for
the quarter was just under
$4 billion , off some 40 per
cent from the last quarter of
2007.
"It is important to note."
said O'Donnell, "that this
total mortgage value amount
does not represent the true
increase in indebtedness .

Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin will propose that
City Council pass an ordi-
nance banning the public
consumption of marijuana
or THC. and, also, prohibit-
ing the possession of drug

Offenders will be fined
$3(K) for either offense un-
der Coughlin's proposal
which he described as a re-
sponse to the voters' passage
of Referendum Question 2
on the November State bal-
lot.
"This ordinance is a nec-
essary step in the mix of
this new reality and with
its passage, Quincy will be
taking the lead among the
Commonwealth's cities
and towns," said Coughlin
who is chairman of the
City Council Public Safety
Committee.
The ballot question,
known as Referendum 2.
decriminalized possession
of an ounce or less of mari-
juana.

There is no longer a

Coughlin said. "rhe

raised many questions and

In addition. Coughlin

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On Jan. 7, 1785, Jean-
Pierre Blanchard and John
Jeffries travel from Dover,
England, to Calais, France,
in a gas balloon, becoming
the first to cross the English
Channel by air. They nearly
crashed into the Channel,
however, as their balloon
was weighed down by extra-
neous supplies such as silk-
covered oars, with which
they hoped to row their way
through the air.
• On Jan. 8, 1867, Con-
gress overrides President
Andrew Johnson's veto of a
bill granting all adult male
citizens of the District of
Columbia the right to vote,
and the bill becomes law. It
was the first law in American
history that granted black
males the right to vote.
• On Jan. 11, 1908, Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt
designates a large part of the
Grand Canyon a national
monument. Congress
increased the protection of
the -canyon in 1932 by mak-
ing it a national park, ensur-
ing that private development
would never spoil the Grand
Canyon.
• On Jan, % 1493, Italian
explorer Christopher
Columbus, sailing near the
Dominican Republic, sees
three "mermaids" — in real-
ity manatees — and
describes them as "not half
as beautiful as they are paint-
ed." Mermaids, mythical
half-female, half-fish crea-
tures, are typically depicted
as having a woman's head
and torso, a fishtail instead
of legs and holding a mirror
and comb.
• On Jan. 6, 1925, Finnish
long-distance runner Paavo
Nurmi appears in the first of
his 55 U.S. races. Of these,
he lost only his la.st race, a
half-mile sprint. Some news-
papers speculated that he
had lost only out of polite-
ness to his American hosts.
• On Jan. 5, 1933, con-
struction begins on the Gold-
en Gate Bridge, as workers
start excavating 3.25 million
cubic feet of dirt for the
structure's huge anchorages.
The Golden Gate Bridge
officially opened on May 27,
1937, the longest bridge
span in the world at the time.
• Onjan. 10, 1979, the last
convertible Volkswagen
Beetle is produced. The VW
"Bug" was a popular car
throughout the 1960s and
1970s, leading to innova-
tions such as sunroofs and
convertible tops in an other-
wise unchanging design.

The Gift Of Life - And Love
This is about a mother's letter.
A letter from a Quincy mother about her son.
A son whose life has been a medical ordeal and life
threatening challenges one after another.
It started around age 17. That was 24 years ago.
She asks that neither her name not her son's name
be used at this particular time.
But wants to share her gratitude with you. For what
she says is a "Gift Of Life."
It is also a gift of love. And hope.
She brought the letter to The Sun office in person.
So it is not an anonymous letter, which is our normal
policy to disregard.
She had hoped we could print it during the Christ-
mas, Hanukkah holiday season. We are sorry we
weren't able to do so.
Those holidays have passed. But her message is still
here with holiday warming's.
Her letter is touching and we decided to move it
to Sunbeams for comment and more exposure. You
might say it is sort of a sunbeam.
Here are her words:
This is a great year for my family to celebrate the
"Gift Of Life."
My family and I want to spread joy and gratitude
during this holy season of Hanukkah and Christmas.
Several years ago, my youngest child became a
Type I diabetic. His journey was incredible as his life
was threatened many times.
However, there was always someone there to call
for medical help.
About three years ago he had to leave work because
his vision became impaired. Therefore it was time to
come home.
My son had 14 surgeries in his eyes and he has re-
gained his sight, thanks to the expertise of a very tal-
ented doctor and the many prayers that were said for
him.
However, his journey would encounter another turn
in his young life as he was now in kidney failure.
This procedure entails dialysis and the intervention
of the Quincy EMT's, a very professional and dedi-
cated group of caring people.
My son was then placed on the donor's list but the
waiting period is complicated.
Time was running out and his elderly mother was
very tired as his case entailed 24 around-the-clock
care.
Therefore his sister brought him to the Midwest, as
this region of the country is one of the best for organ
donations.
My daughter also encountered all that I have seen
and more.
The medical care that he received from the doctors,
nurses and EMT's was outstanding.
My son was with his sister for about two years. A
year ago at this time, he received a kidney-pancreas
transplant.
He is doing great and we would like to extend our
gratitude to the family who gave my son their loved
one's pancreas and kidney.
This loving family, at a time of great grief, made a
decision that gave my son back his life.
Not only did my son receive two organs, but they
gave all of their child's organs to benefit others.
No greater gift of love and life could they give.
This is a story of life, love, giving and professional-
ism.
His, Mom.
Thanks to that loving family, her son is now 41 and
has returned to work, grateful for his "Gift Of Life."
With love.
And hope.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1927 postcard view of the old Atlantic fire sta-
tion when it was first built at 311 Hancock Street across
from North Quincy High School. This modern fully-
equipped building was set upon pilings driven into the
edge of what was known then as the Montclair marshes
seen in the background. This was the second Atlantic
station; the first was on Newbury Avenue and is now
used by the Caddy Marine Corps League. Because of the
rapid grow th of this part of the city at the time, the City
Council had approved 10 additional firemen, two new
fire engines and a new firehouse for this district. Shown
here on opening day were the new Seagrave ladder
truck on the left and a new Seagrave pumping engine
on the right, along with the men who were stationed
here. Over time, unnoticed by anyone, the buildings
pilings had shifted in the marshes peat. In 1961 , after a
routine inspection, it was unexpectedly determined that
the building was in danger of immediate collapse. It Has
quickly abandoned and later demolished. The present
station was built on the same site in 1963. To contact

Taxed Out In Quincy
Quincy, a city where 1
was born and grew up. Most
likely 1 will remain here for
the remaining years of my
life.
Quincy, a city where I
was proud to talk about,
now I drop my head in dis-
appointment.
Cities come with major
cost of all types to run so
when a tax hike came about
maybe it's for the best, city
improvements, etc.
However, when we get
our first snow of the season
and snow plowing is so ter-
rible in my neighborhood
that a visiting nurse for
my wife and newborn had
to cancel due to "Quincy
streets are horrible" and
hearing from every friend
and relative who came to
visit our newborn ask, why
do you live in Quincy with
the city not taking care of
every day duties like snow
plowing, terrible streets or
fixing the 20 foot pot hole in
front of my house that had
been there for years with the
whole neighborhood call-
ing the city's "pot hole hot
line" asking for repair with
no result.
1 patched the bad
parts several times at about
$100 per fix.
Then we get our second
snow of the season and the
same results; plow came by
once with blade down and
several times with blade up
and deep snow on the street.
Roads a mess, why do 1 pay
taxes?
What happened to the
city that I use to boast about?
Our neighborhi>od and cit\
streets are in terrible condi-
tion and our plows simply
are not getting the job done!
1 am hoping for changes
for the better but I uon't be
holding my breath.

Dom's Eggplant Lasagna
It was the day after Christmas and we
all know what that's hke. cleaning up. and
while most' i us have cooked multiple foods,
cookies, and other things for the holiday, we
still have to eat.
My son Dom decided he would be the
one to prepare dinner for the day after. So
back at my house we feasted on a delicious
dinner including the eggplant which is to-
day's recipe.
It was so light and delicious--he made is
as he would a lasagna. But this dish has no
pasta.
EGGPLANT LASAGNA
1 large or 2 small eggplants
bread crumb fur coating
1 egg mixed with a little milk
2 cups ricotta
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 c parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 egg for the cheese mixture
salt and pepper o taste
oil for frying
2 or 3 cups tomato sauce
First cut the eggplant (Dom left the skin
on) in about 1/4 inch slices. Dip the slices in
the egg and milk mixture and then the bread
crumbs. Saute in a frying pan and drain on
paper towel. (If you do not want to fry them,
they can also be placed on greased cookie
sheets in a 350 degree oven for about 15
minutes.)
Mix together the ricotta. parmesan
cheese, mozzarella. parsley and egg and salt
and pepper. In a greased baking dish, place
tomato sauce first. Then layer the eggplant,
the cheese mixture, the sauce and continue
until done. Top with sauce and a sprinkle of
mozzarella cheese on the top. Bake in a 350
degree oven covered until bubbly (about 30
minutes) depending on the amount. Cut in
squares.
Dom made a del icious salad . meatball and
spaghetti dinner to go with the eggplant.

Gutro, Coughlin To Host
Property Abatement,
Exemption Workshop Jan. 14
Quincy City Council-
lors Doug Gutro and Kevin
Coughlin will host a Tax Re-
lief Workshop for residents
interested in learning about
the property tax abatement
process as well as exemp-
tions available.
The workshop will take
place Wednesday, Jan. 14
at 7:30 p.m. at Bernaz-
zani School gymnasium on
Furnace Brook Parkway in
Quincy.
At this workshop, Marion
Fantucchio, principal asses-
sor for the City of Quincy,
will discuss a variety of ex-
emption programs. In addi-
tion, any resident is entitled
to file for a tax abatement
if they believe that the city
has over assessed the value
of their home. This process
will also be discussed.
Coughlin and Gutro said
they have organized this
workshop in response to
the significant increase in
residential property tax bills
that were mailed on Jan. 1,
2009. Since the issuance of
the.se bills, many residents,
particularly those on fixed
incomes, have expressed an
interest in better understand-
ing exemption options as
well as the abatement pro-
cess, the councillors said.
In 2008, the City Coun-
cil unanimously approved
a proposal by Councillor
Gutro to expand the eligibil-
ity requirements to provide
a $500 property tax exemp-
tion for senior citizens 65
years of age and older. Eli-
gible seniors have to meet
income and asset require-
ments.
Residents eligible for
this exemption are auto-
matically eligible for a 25%
discount on their water and
sewer bills.
In 2(XJ8, the City Coun-
cil unanimously approved
a proposal by Coughlin to
exempt veterans serving in
Iraq or Afghanistan from
paying property taxes dur-
ing the period of deploy-
ment.
All interested residents
are encouraged to attend the
workshop Jan. 14.

With respect to our medi-
cal staff and alUed health
professionals, we will be

Timmins Rejects Council
Override Bid On Dense Zoning
John Hancock Plunge
Jan. 24 At Wollaston Beach
City Solicitor James
Timmins declared that a
proposed amendment al-
lowing increased density in
Business C zones is "a nul-
lity" in a written response to
city council members dated
Jan. 5.
City Council had ap-
proved the amendment
through a second 6-3 vote
on Dec. 15.
The controversial amend-
ment affects parcels that are
42,000 square feet or larger
and would have immedi-
ately impacted a 1 .5 acre
lot tucked between Marina
Bay and the Moorings on
East Squantum Street, North
Quincy.
Timmins' letter cites a
response from the Attorney
General's office, which out-
lines a hands-off policy in
regard to city ordinances.
"1 will advise the Director
of Inspectional Services of
that opinion and direct that
he not issue any permits that
rely on such amendments,"
wrote Timmins, referring
to the city council's 6-3 ap-
proval of the zoning change
on Nov. 10 and, again, on
Dec. 15.
Timmins included the en-
tire e-mail response written
by Asst. Attorney General
Kelli Gunagan, Municipal
Law Unit , in the letter out-
lining his official stand on
the issue.
The Attorney General's
Gunagan wrote, "MLU
(Municipal Law Unit) re-
views town by-laws and
charter and charter amend-
ments... We do not review
city ordinances. Therefore,
1 cannot offer any helpful
guidance on your draft opin-
ions."
COA Seeking
Wheelchairs
The Council on Aging is
in urgent need of wooden
or metal wheelchairs of all
sizes and canes to help dis-
abled seniors to get around.
If you have one, call the
council at 617-376-1506.
JAMES TIMMINS
City Council approved
the amendment by a 6-3
vote on Nov. 10. In early
December, Mayor Thomas
Koch informed councillors
that he was rejecting the
change and would not sign
the ordinance.
Timmins, subsequently,
ruled that the council could
not override the decision as
the mayor's signature was
required for zoning changes
and Koch was not signing
the measure.
On Dec. 15, Councillor
Michael McFarland re-in-
troduced the zoning amend-
ment and councillors voted
6-3 again in an attempt to
override Koch's decision.
McFarland first raised the
issue in December, 2007 , but
the issue failed. McFarland
proposed the change in 2008
and, in March, the council
held the first public hear-
ing.
At that public hearing,
Marina Bay resident in-
formed councillors that the
issue was in Land Court
where resident were chal-
lenging development plans
by O'Connell Development
The zonmg change would
alh)w 80 units on the 1 .5
Victory Road acreage ver-
sus the current 25 units.
Koch informed council-
lors that he did no\ intend
to interfere with an ongoing
court case, but that zoning
issue would be addressed
through a citywide review
of all zoning.
In his mid-term address
this week, KcKh said, "Our
zoning task force continues
to meet regularly. Based
on their work. 1 will submit
to the city council major
changes in our zoning code
to encourage smart devel-
opment that will protect the
integrity of our neighbor-
hoods."
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 Manna Bay.
McNamee, along with
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro and Ward 2 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi have re-
peatedly opposed the zoning
change.

FIRE SAFETY

Fire Safety Tips For Seniors
I was looking at another
FIREFACTORS, a press
flyer from the State Fire
Marshal's Office; 1 will at-
tempt to convey the gist of
the content here for you.
In 2007, older adults, 65
years and above, made up
14% of our production, but
30% of the fire deaths for
that year. Seniors are two
times more likely to die in a
fire. So here are some sug-
gestions for safer inhabit-
ing.
Smoking was the lead-
ing cause of fire deaths with
older adults at 56%. Con-
sequently, never smoke in
bed, do not leave smoking
materials unattended, soak
ashtrays before empting
them into a wastebasket and

NEVER mix smoking with
oxygen use.
Electrical fire caused 3
of the 16 fire deaths for that
year. This was the second
leading cause of fire deaths
for seniors. Never overload
electrical outlets; power
strips are made for electron-
ic devices, not appliances
drawing a heavier load such
as space heaters. Examine
all extension cords for wear,
frayed and cracked insula-
tion, and replace them with
new ones having a certifica-
tion label from an indepen-
dent testing laboratory. Re-
move extension cords from
underneath rugs, carpets, or
furniture where insulation
can be worn causing over-
heating and arcing.
Cooking mishaps are the
leading cause of fire injuries
to seniors. 3 1 % of fire relat-
ed injuries to seniors were
from cooking fires. We sug-
gest that tight fitting sleeves
be worn while cooking.
Never leave cooking unat-
tended, if you must leave,
take a spoon or potholder
with you to remind yourself
of your ongoing efforts in
the kitchen. Keep stove top
pot handles facing inward,
out of the way of traffic
within the kitchen.
Make certain space heat-
ers are UL approved. Place
them on a firm surface a
minimum three-feet from
combustibles. The heater
should not be left unattend-
ed as well, or used within a
bedroom while sleeping. It
should be kept away from
water, and if an extension
cord is used, make certain
that it is not frayed or faulty
and is appropriate for the
electrical load required.
Falls are the leading
cause of death from uninten-
tional injury at home. Clear
the way keeping stairs and
walking areas free of elec-
trical cords, shoes, cloth-
ing, books, magazines and
clutter. Use only throw rugs
with rubber, non-skid back-
ing. Smooth out wrinkles
and folds in carpets as well.
Smoke detectors afford
an early warning; even then,
an escape plan is essential.
Keep these essential items
by your bedside: eye-glass-
es, telephone and a whistle.
Eyeglasses will help you see
and avoid injury as you es-
cape. The whistle will alert
other household members
and rescuers to your loca-
tion if assistance is needed.
The telephone will allow
you to call for help.
Lastly, having the num-
ber of your residence clearly
visible on the front of your
home facilities our efforts

ity medical assistance if
needed.
Help us, help you, and
make certain the numerical

"Anything Goes."
Originally from New

Full Text Of Mayor Thomas Koch's Mid-Term Address
Reverend clergy, my
colleagues in government,
distinguished guests, citi-
zens of Quincy. friends
all:
As 1 stand before you
today. I am mindful that
we in Quincy - like ev-
ery community through-
out our Commonwealth
- face unprecedented tis-
cal challenges. In fact,
whether on Beacon Hill
or Capitol Hill, leaders
in government must deal
With a world of fiscal un-
certainty. This uncertainty
affects our ability to plan
both short and long term.
And, the fiscal crisis is
a wide one that impacts
us all - big and small -
whether business, gov-
ernment, or families.
When you elected me
your mayor last year - 1
told you 1 was ready to
meet those challenges. I
stand before you today
to tell you what we have
done, and what we are
continuing to do. My ad-
ministration has worked
to ensure that we sustain
the programs and ser-
vices that make Quincy
the great community it is
today. 1 am committed to
doing everything we can
to control our future.
All communities are
facing increased health
care costs. We have ad-
dressed it and are proud
to say that Quincy is the
largest community to
successfully negotiate a
contract for the state's
GIC health care system
- a negotiation that will
save our citizens four
million dollars in health
care costs in the first year
alone. One of the biggest
budget busters facing mu-
nicipal budgets annually
- health care - is one of
the areas that we tackled,
and tackled successfully
by working together.
There are other ways
my administration has
worked to control the cost
of government - our new
trash and recycling con-
tract is an example I am
most proud of. Quincy
negotiated not alone, but
together with our neigh-
bors in Braintree and
Weymouth, to achieve
even greater savings from
our new trash contract.
By taking a regionalized
approach, we were able
to strengthen our negoti-
ating position - and ev-
eryone came out a winner
- most importantly, you,
the residents of Quincy.
While many communi-
ties around us continue to

We will seize the op-

despite these economic
conditions. Our city is po-
sitioned today for historic
investment and growth
- growth which will al-
low us to control our own
destiny.
The right place for
economic development
now is our city's down-
town. We will present to
the City Council, busi-
ness owners and citizens
a plan for the largest pri-
vate investment in our
city's history. A dynamic
vision that will create
dramatic new tax growth,
spawn unprecedented job
opportunities, and result
in a downtown we can all
be proud of.
We welcome new in-
vestment in our city.
Working with the City
Council and Planning
Board, a new Lowe's
project has been ap-
proved which - in addi-
tion to tax benefits - will
provide substantial traffic
improvements and be a
project the neighborhood
can be proud of. We pro-
vided vital tax incentives
that allowed for the re-
habilitation of the vacant
office tower at 100 Han-
cock Street, which now
serves as the home of
Massachusetts Financial
Services, providing hun-
dreds of jobs, increased
tax revenue, and a state-
of the-art, green office
building at the gateway to
the north end of our city.
We are working hard
with the Governor and
our state delegation, in co-
operation with developer
Dan Quirk, at the Quincy
Shipyard - the largest tract
of land remaining to be de-
veloped, that will provide
much-needed tax revenue
and jobs for our residents.
1 am working with
Congressman Bill Dela-
hunt on the federal stimu-
lus package - working
to insure that Quincy
receives every dollar of
federal funding available.
Last year, at this time,
we talked about a number
of new initiatives, and the
progress we made will
only continue in coming
months.
Working deliberately
and cooperatively with
state authorities, we have
made significant strides
toward replacing Central
Middle SchcK)l. The Cen-
tral Building Committee
continues an intensive
planning process, and soon
we will be selecting a proj-
ect manager. I understand
during the.se difficult times,
there are projects we must
consider delaying. This is
not one of them. Our City
first highlighted the need
to replace Central more
than three decades ago,
and it is now considered
one of the worst buildings
in the state. As I discussed
earlier, I will provide a full
and clear plan to the city
council on how we will
pay for it.
Our Zoning Task Force
continues to meet regu-
larly. Based on their work,
I will submit to the city
council major changes in
our zoning code to encour-
age smart development that
will protect the integrity of
our neighborhoods. To the
members of the commit-
tee, I extend my apprecia-
tion for your work.
Our Drug Task Force is
confronting the drug prob-
lem in our neighborhoods.
I am grateful to each mem-
ber for their efforts as we
continue to work in the ar-
eas of prevention, enforce-
ment and treatment. Our
city has made it clear: we
will not ignore a problem
simply because solutions
are not easy.
This Spring we look
forward to the opening
of our new state of the art
senior center. Reuse of an
existing city owned build-
ing makes this project fi-
nancially feasible. With
this facility, we will be
able to more fully serve
our older citizens with
programs affecting their
health and well-being.
As I look out at the
faces in the audience. I
am reminded that we are
all in it together. I am pre-
pared to make the hard
decisions, and ask only
that we continue to work
cooperatively through
these difficult times. We
owe our city no less.
Behind me is the seal
of our City of Quincy,
the inscription across the
top reads "Manet" mean-
ing: "It Remains." Today,
Quincy remains strong,
proud and determined. We
remain faithful to those
values shown to us by
our city forefathers. Let
us continue on the course
of hard work, respect and
compassion for others; all
in a spirit of cooperation.
Let us be the example for

A Job Well Done
On Friday, Dec. 26, 2008, at approximately 5:15
p.m.. Officer Dennis Keenan was dispatched to a local
business on Washington Street to investigate a larceny.
Upon arrival, the officer
interviewed the victim, a
receptionist, who told him
that a patient came in for a
follow up appointment at 2
p.m.
At the time he arrived in
the waiting room, she was
away from the reception
desk. The patient was then
directed to the examination
room and it was at this time
that the victim noticed that
her cell phone, valued at
$600.00, was missing from her purse.
The victim also reported that an antique, valued at
approximately $15,000, was missing from the office.
Although the suspect was sneaky, what he didn't know
was that this particular office was equipped with a video
security system.
The victim watched the video and observed the sus-
pect take her phone from her purse. She showed the
tape to Officer Keenan, which helped establish probable
cause to arrest the suspect. The video showed the sus-
pect enter at approximately 2:07 p.m., walk up to the
counter, look around and then reach over the counter to
take the phone out of the purse. The suspect then left
briefly and then re-entered the office.
The victim confronted the suspect in the examination
room but he denied taking the phone, that is, until the
victim informed him that he was on video. The suspect
then said he was only borrowing the phone to use the
Internet on her phone. The suspect said he would return
the phone and she watched as he went to his car and took
it out from under the seat console. She then checked
to see if anything else was missing and noted that $45
in cash and two CitiBank Credit/Debit Cards were no
longer in her purse.
She demanded that the suspect return her cred-
it cards and money, but he denied this, then said
that he was in a street gang and if she called
the police, he would "rough her up really bad."
Officer Keenan then contacted the suspect via telephone
and asked him to return to the office and he agreed to
meet at 7:30 p.m.
At 7:40 p.m., the suspect had not been seen or heard
from, so Officer Keenan called him again. The suspect
said that he was on his way but he hit a curb and got
a flat tire on Cleverly Court. Officer Mike Duran joined
Officer Keenan at Cleverly Court, where they found the
suspect and placed him under arrest without incident
The suspect denied taking the money, debit cards and
the antique. The debit cards were cancelled and detec-
tives will be checking pawnshops in hopes of recover-
ing the sentimental antique. It should be noted that the
same suspect was arrested again a few days later after he
forged one of his mother's checks and attempted to use
it to purchase items at Stop N' Shop.
The suspect, a 23-year-old Braintree resident,
was charged with larceny over $250 and intimidation
of a witness.
Nice Work!
In this case, as in many office locations, thefts oc-
cur because employees leave their personal items in an
unprotected place or because an employer does not pro-
vide a secure storage area. The thefts can occur by those
coming and going to the commercial area and seeing the
opportunity of unguarded property. Unfortunately, there
is also the concern of co-worker larceny too.

It's Not Hard To Be Green
THIS

By Samantha Mazzotta
Winter Heightens
Carbon Monoxide
Dangers
Q. I wanted to write in
• hopes that you will
remind readers how dan-
gerous portable genera-
tors are when not used
properly. Already this win-
ter, three people in New
England have died due to
carbon monoxide poison-
ing because they were run-
ning unventiiated genera-
tors after last month's ice
storm. Please remind peo-
ple to be safe! — Jack in
Concord, N.H.
A .Many thanks for the
• heads-up. Jack!
Portable generators are just
one item that produces car-
bon monoxide. Other appli-
ances that can be a problem
are home furnaces and fire-
places — basically, any
device that uses combustion
to produce heat, because that
item also produces exhaust.
Even worse, carbon
monoxide (CO) is colorless
and odorless, and CO poi-
soning can happen very
quickly. So how does one
prevent being overcome by
CO?
The best defense is a car-
bon monoxide detector with
a battery backup, placed
near sleeping or living areas
of your home. This inexpen-
sive item will detect danger-
ous CO levels before they
can affect a home's resi-
dents. Like a smoke detec-
tor, it should be tested
monthly and the battery
replaced at least once a year.
The second best defense is
properly installed and vent-
ed appliances that are main-
tained regularly.
Third, read the instructions
before using any combus-
tion-ba.scd appliance, like a
heater or generator. Never
use charcoal grills indoors.
Never run generators
indoors. Don't run the car in
a closed garage.
Finally, if the CO detector
goes off or you or others
begin experiencing the
symptoms of initial CO poi-
soning — dizziness,
headache, fatigue, nausea,
irregular breathing — get
everyone, including pets,
out of the house immediate-
ly and contact emergency
services.

(ARA) - DIY. So last
year. Now it's GIY. As in
green-it-yourself. And just
like DIY projects, there are
plenty of easy GIY weekend
home imprbvement proj-
ects that will save energy
and money and add value
to your home. Oh, and we
should mention you can
help protect the planet while
you're at it.
Being green is easy and
important. People every-
where are taking small steps
that make a difference in the
fight against global warm-
ing. From buying energy-ef-
ficient appliances, to reusing
grocery bags, to properly
inflating tires, millions of
Americans are clamoring to
do their part for the earth.
So what are some GIY
projects you can tackle now
that will help save energy,
money and the planet?
1. Insulating - One of
the easiest GIY projects that
delivers the biggest green
payoff is upgrading your
home's insulation. By doing
so, you can decreases your
carbon footprint, increase
your home's energy efficien-
cy and save up to 20 percent
on your heating and cooling
energy bills. 1 Yet, nearly 80
million U.S. homes are esti-
mated to be under insulated
to the Department of Energy
(DOE) standards.
The Department of En-
ergy recommends attics -
where 30 to 40 percent of
a home's total energy loss
occurs - have up to an R-
value of 60. To meet these

standards, your attic should
have at least 19 inches of fi-
berglass batt (roll) insulation
or 22 inches of blown insu-
lation. A good rule of thumb
- if you can see the wood
beams (joists) in your attic,
you definitely don't have
enough insulation. Even if
you can't see the joists, you
still may not have enough
and with nearly 80 million
American homes under in-
sulated it's likely we or our
neighbors could use more.
Owens Coming, makers of
recognizable PINK insula-
tion, offers a step-by-step
guide to adding insulation to
your attic at www.lnsulate-
AndSave.com.
2. Heating & Sealing —
Reap the most benefit from
the insulation upgrade you
just finished by ensuring
that your furnace, duct-
work and weather stripping
around doors and windows
are in good shape.
While it's a good practice
to have your furnace ser-
viced by a professional each
year, you can improve your
furnace's operaUon and ef-
ficiency. Change the air fil-
ters throughout your house
every 30 days and regularly
vacuum dust from air return
vents. Lubricate the blower
motor following the instruc-
tions in the furnace's own-
er's guide.
Check weather stripping
around doors and windows
and repair or replace any
cracked or faulty strip-
ping. Don't forget stripping
around garage doors and the
door from the garage into
your house, as these areas
can be major heat drains for
your home.
3. Lighting - Once you're
done with the two projects
above, replace those incan-
descent light bulbs with EN-
ERGY STAR qualified bulbs
- like compact fluorescent
light bulbs - to decrease the
amount of electricity you
use for lighting as much as
75 percent. It's a simple task
to go through your home
and replace light bulbs.
Although energy effi-
cient styles may cost more,
they last longer than incan-
descent bulbs and conserve
so much energy that they
quickly pay for themselves.
Each bulb will save you
about $30 over its lifetime
and produce 75 percent
less heat than incandescent
bulbs ENERGY STAR
recommends replacing the
most-used bulbs in your
home first, such as overhead
lights in the kitchen, table
and floor lamps in the living
or family room, and outdoor
porch or post lamps.

provement ideas, visit www.

North Quincy Hosts Quincy Friday At 7 P.M.
Transition Year
For Red Raiders
By SEAN BRENNAN
A year removed from
one, if not the best season
ever for a North Quincy
boys' basketball team, the
2009 Red Raiders, this win-
ter, are in a state of transi-
tion.
Last year's team finished
with a 16-8 record and in-
cluded among its achieve-
ments a championship win
in the annual Vin Moscardel-
li Tournament and a second
place finish in the Atlantic
Coast League. The Raiders
also made the Division I
South Sectional tournament
and vson the programs first
postseason game since the
1 99 1 season; a 76-69 victor)
over Bridge water-Raynham
HS. The dream season end-
ed with a 74-45 loss at the
hands of Framingham HS in
the quarterfinals.
The team's success last
year came with a hefty
price. North graduated nine
seniors off the 2008 roster,
and that makes head coach
Kevin Barrett's job this year
a little more difficult. His
team currently is holding a
1-3 overall record and 0-3
mark in the Patriot League.
"We are off to a slow
start this season," said Bar-
rett. "It is a young and inex-
perienced team. Last year's
success came with a price,
but we are excited about
this group and we have been
competitive in every game
so far this season.
"There is no doubt that
Boys^
Basketball
we are getting better each
game. That is what we are
trying to preach to the team:
to get better week-by-week.
The kids are onboard and we
have the pieces to be a good
team moving forward."
Barrett will be leaning
on his senior class to help
provide that experience that
moved on last spring. Se-
nior captains Tim Stille ( for
ward) and Andy Ng (guard)
are joined on the roster by
fellow seniors RJ Barden
(forward), Jonathan Coalcs
(forward) and Joe Ldgerly
(forward).
"Timmy as one of the
captains is our go-to-guy,"
added Barrett. '"And the rest
of the senior class is very
athletic. They have been do-
ing a great job."
Junior Mike Stanton, an
All -League quarterback for
the Raiders, is another play-
er to keep an eye on as the
season reaches January and
February.
"Mike played on the
jayvee team last year and
is going to be a big part of
our success this season and
next," said Barrett. "For
most of the underclassmen,
this is their first crack play-
ing at the varsity level. It
takes some time to adjust
and adapt to the speed of the
game. They are starting to
get it "
Juniors Matt Jayne, Chris
Delaney, Larry Liuzzo, Ter-
rance Staley and Luis Valen-
tin join Stanton on the ros-
ter this season. Sophomore
Mike Morrison and fresh-
man Matt Costa should also
see playing time this winter.
The transition from an
experienced senior-laden
team to a younger less ex-
perienced squad is not the
only difference this year for
North Quincy. The Raid-
ers have switched leagues
from the ACL to the Patriot
League NQ is nou pla)ing
m the PL's Fisher Division
against teams from Hanover.
iMiddlebi)ro. Rockland.
Pembroke and Randolph
High Schools.
"There has been a little
adjustment in changing
leagues but it hasn't been
that different." said Barrett.
"The best part of the new
schedule is the travel. Our
fans are some of the best
around and they travel well.
We are seeing bigger crowds
on the road and it will be ex-
citing building some new
rivalries within the Patnot
League."
North was scheduled to
play against Middleboro HS
Tuesday night and will host
Quincy High School on Fri-
day in the NQHS Gym at 7
p.m.
Note: The Raiders only
win of the season, thus far.
was a non-league victory

Quincy-North Wins
First Four Games
The hottest team in Quin-
cy right now is the combined
Quincy-North Quincy girls'
ice hockey team.
Heading into tonight's
(Wed.) tilt against Whitman-
Hanson High School, Q-NQ
holds a perfect 4-0 record,
with wins over Medfield HS
(two victories), Marshfield
HSandWestwoodHS.
"We are a really great
team with a lot of depth,"
said first-year head coach
Kelli Doolin. "We are im-
proving and getting better
each game and that is what
you want to see as a coach.
"The depth we have is
all over; on offense and
defense. We have started
off real strong and the girls
have bought into the team
concept and it is working.
This year's team is young,
which means they all will
only be getting stronger.
And that is a good sign for
the program."
Against Westwood last
Saturday, Q-NQ fell behind
Girls'
Ice Hockey
1-0 early in the first period,
but after allowing that score,
the defense bore down. The
defensive combinations of
Anna Bythrow and Brenna
Morrissey, Paige Keenan
and Colleen Grady and
eighth graders Katie and
Meghan White allowed
only eight shots the rest of
the period; helping to keep
the pressure off sophomore
goalie Shannon Coleman.
In the second period,
the Q-NQ team came out
skating hard, but a penalty
forced them to play short-
handed. The penalty kill unit
came up huge. Junior Col-
leen Newcomb intercepted a
pass and broke in alone on
a breakaway. Newcomb's
shorthanded tally tied the
score at 1 - 1 .
Q-NQ took their first lead
of the game later in the pe-
riod when Newcomb scored
her second of the game after
receiving a pass from Laura
O'Donnell and Christina
Walsh.
With Westwood apply-
ing the pressure in the third
and final period, Newcomb
quickly ended any hope
of a comeback. Walsh and
Brenna Morrissey found her
open in the Westwood zone
and she buried her third goal
of the contest for the 3-1
lead. Newcomb's hat trick
finished off Westwood and
the game ended in a 3-1 vic-
tory for Q-NQ.
The defense continued
to play outstanding, holding
Westwood to only 23 shots
on Coleman.
"Most of the girls on
the team play hockey year
round and the youth hockey
program in Quincy has pro-
duced some very talented
players. Our first line of

more), Christina Walsh and

Quincy Wins 2 Of First 3 Games
Good Start For Presidents
I'he Quincy Presidents,
under the direction of (irst-
year head coach David
Parry, have opened the 2(K)9
basketball season b) win-
ning two out of three games;
a good start to a season that
should see Quincy back in
the postseason at schedule's
end.
The Presidents have al-
ready knocked off Silver
Lake (Dec. 22) and Nauset
(Dec. 27) High Schools af-
ter losing the season opener
toScituate HS (Dec. 16).
"We are optimistic about
what we can do as a team
this year." said Parry. "The
team has been working hard
in practice and the results
have been positive the last
two games.
"We like to play hard on
the defensive end and we
like to run on t)ffense It is a
fun way for us to play. With
some talented seniors on the
roster and a bunch t>f young-
er pla)ers just learning \\o\\
to pla\ at the varsity level
we should only get better as
the season progresses."
Parry, who took over
for Bob Fisher in the fall,
had been the Quincy jayvee
coach for the past four years
and is a well-known figure
on the local basketball scene
(he is a founder of the Lady
Presidents travel team). A
1980 graduate of Quincy
High School and an alumni
of Northeastern University.
Parry had some familiarity
with many of the players on
his team through the jayvee
program and as a 20-year
veteran of the youth pro-
grams, and his team has re-
sponded under his guidance
this winter.
"1 have coached some of
these kids in the past and the
transition has been smixuh
so far." he said. "We are still
a work in progress* but the
team is on the right track "
Quincy. a member of the
Atlantic C\)ast League for
many years, is now a mem-
ber of the Patriot League
With this change comes
new competition and chal-
lenges, but for Parr\ and his
staff, the door is still open to
do some damage and make
their mark.
"Every night the Patriot
League is tough." he added
"It seems early in the season
that teams are knocking each
other off. The winner of our
division (Keenan) could end
up with a 10-6 or 9-7 record.
At the moment Duxburv HS
is the team everyone is chas-
ing, but the league is wide
open."
Parry inherited a roster
that includes five seniors
and three juniors to go along
with five sophonK)res and
one freshman
.Mr. h\er\ thing Doug
Scott heads the senior class
Scott, uho at press lime was
46 points av\a> from being
the all-time leading scorer
in QHS histt)r\. is averaging
29 points per game this sea
son and according to Parr)
has not even plaved his
best game A scarv thought
for the rest of the Patriot
League.
"Doug IS a player that
can do almost anything with
the basketball on offense
And he has not even played
his best game yet this win-
ter He is one of five seniors
that we will be leaning on
this season."
Fellow seniors John Par-
ry (team captain with Scott).
Victor Otoadese. Andrew
Papile and Anthony Raddatz
round out an impressive and
productive 12"" grade class
"We are blessed with
some great senior leader-
ship.'" said Parry "Raddatz
is just such an athlete and
has been vital in keeping
the ball alive and the rest o\
the seniors are alst> plaving
well "
Junior Kenn\ Nguyen, a
fantastic fix)tball pla>er. has

North Quincy Posts 4-1 Record, Hosts Quincy Friday
By SEAN BRENNAN
New year. Same results.
Coming into the season,
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers were hoping to build
off last year's successful
campaign (15-6 overall re-
cord and a trip to the South
Sectionals), but there were
concerns about turnover on
the roster and a change in
leagues (from the Atlantic
Coast League to the Patriot
League). Concerns, what
concerns?
The Raiders (4-1 overall,
2-1 in the Patriot League)
stormed out of the gate on
a four-game winning streak
(before dropping a 64-57
decision to Rockland on
Jan. 2): included in this run
were two wins over Patriot
League foes (a 55-41 vic-
tory over Pembroke and a
56-34 win over Randolph)
and two wins, including in
the championship game, in
the Notre Dame Holiday
Tournament.
At the onset of the sea-
son, head coach Michael
Jorgenson had expressed a
hope that this year's team
would be able to recapture
some of the chemistry from
last year's team. And so far
Girls
Basketball
this winter, team chemistry
has come together quickly.
Behind the leadership and
play of seniors Siobhan Car-
nell, Kathleen Lynch and
Catherine O'Connell, the
Raiders have transitioned
themselves into one of the
top teams on the South
Shore and a team to beat
in the competitive Patriot
League.
The play of Camell,
Lynch and O'Connell helped
to bring a holiday cham-
pionship to North Quincy.
Playing in the annual Notre
Dame Holiday Tournament
over the school vacation.
North edged by Natick HS,
58-56, in the first-round and
defeated Weymouth HS ,
47-42, in the championship
game.
Against Weymouth, the
Raiders got 16 points and
7 rebounds from Camell,
1 1 points and 6 steals from
Lynch and 9 points and 8
rebounds from O'Connell
to eek out the five-point vic-
tory.

SEALING FATE
Tooth sealants consist of a
clear or whitisli plastic matenai
that IS applied to the ctiewing
surfaces of tfie back teetfi
Applied to children's teeth as
a preventive measure, these
protective coatings act as bar-
riers, shielding the teeth from
the plaque and acid that can
lead to cavrties. Children are
prime candidates to have their
permanent molars sealed. It is
also occasionally recommend-
ed that pnmary (baby) molars
be sealed because they play
such an important role in
maintaining space for the per-
manent teeth. Adults are also
good candidates for sealants,
especially if they are at high
nsk for decay due to chewing
surfaces with pits and fissures,
inhented dental factors, or lim-
ited ability to bmsh and floss.
Applying a sealant is a
simple and painless process.
Sealants can protect the teeth
from decay for up to 1 0 years,
but they need to be checked
for chipping or weanng at
regular denta! check-ups We
are always happy to answer
any questions you may have
atx)ut dental concerns, includ-
ing sealants. We're located at
44 Greenleaf Street, where

A Tmought
fOR Tf/e ^eeM
Someone once said that conscience Ls the
fellow who sits on the throne of your soul
and calls out the danger signal when your
life craft sights icebergs. Conscience Ls the
pilot of a man's hope toward success. Con-
SCOTT DEWARE science is the pilot of a man's hope toward
success. Conscience is the busy signal that halts a man just as he Ls
about to do what he ought not to but wants to. . .
The choice which conscience imposes upon us is often hard to
endure. It Ls easy to do evil and frequently very hard to do right.
No matter what effort or self-deception is made, sooner or later the
inner conflict of conscience must be faced.
A troubled coascience is not always convenient, but it is often the
only element in life which absolutely guarantees rescue from despair.
Sometimes coascience speaks in a whisper ... at other times it yells
loud and clear. . .
"Cowardice asks, Is it safe? Expediency asks, Is it politic? Vanity
asks, Is it popular? but Conscience asks, Is it right?"

Milton Hospital Auxiliary
Hold Gift Shop Grand Opening
Milton Hospital recently
held the grand opening of its
new gift shop.
The event celebrated the
shop's beautiful new loca-
tion on the hospital's re-
modeled first floor, adjacent
to the new Highland Lobby.
Eager customers filled the
shop and lined up to take
advantage of grand opening
sale prices.
Employees, volunteers,
Auxilians and visitors en-
joyed refreshments, includ-
ing a chocolate fountain and
a display of fruit, cheeses
and cider. Hospital Presi-
dent Joseph Morrissey and
Gift Shop Manager Ellen
Shea offered a few words
during the official ribbon
cutting.
"The gift shop represents
the end of nearly five years
of construction at Milton
Hospital," Morrissey said.
"While renovations will
continue in our operating
rooms and laboratory be-
hind the scenes, the majority
of expansion and renovation
project is complete."
The recent project result-
ed in a new and expanded
emergency department, sur-
gical services area, dedicat-
ed Endoscopy Center, new
lobby, a parking deck and
overall improvements to pa-
tient convenience, comfort
and confidentiality.
"The new Gift Shop is
bright and beautiful, a vast
improvement over the shop
of the late 1970's," said Gift
Shop Manager Ellen Shea.
"The gift shop offers a wide
variety and price range of
unique gifts, toys, jewelry,
cards and candy. The very
popular Vera Bradley bags
and accessories and Byers
Carolers collectable figures
are featured."
Gift shop hours are
Monday through Friday,
10am to 7pm. and Sundays
1pm to 3pm. Run entirely
by the hospital's volunteers,
the gift shop donates all an-
nual profits to Milton Hos-
pital's Development Fund,
earmarked specifically for
purchases that enhance pa-
tient care and comfort .
Milton Hospital provides
community-based health
care to people of all ages in
Milton, Quincy, Braintree,
Randolph. Canton, Hyde
Park. Dorchester and other
local communities. Servic-
es include general medical
and surgical inpatient care,
a complete complement of
outpatient health services
and 24-hour emergency ser-
vices.

Pennies Count
With belts tightening
everywhere, it's more
important than ever to look
for ways to save money.
Pennies count, and you can
hold on to many of them if
you surround yourself with a
network of money-saving
opportunities and make it a
way of life.
• Get involved in a food-
supply group. Angel Food
Ministries (www.angelfood-
ministries.com], for exam-
ple, makes bulk purchases of
food and has distribution
points in 38 states. The cost
of the food is very low. Often
the program is run by local
churches, but there are no
qualification requirements.
Once a month, orders are
taken and the food delivered
to a central location. If there
is no distribution group near
you, look into starting one.
• Look for other low-cost
food distribution groups in
your area. Do an Internet
search for "low cost food"
and put in your town and
state.
• On FreeCyclc (www.free
cycle.orgj, you can ask for
what you need and give
away what you don't need.
Areas are broken down by
ZIP code across the country.
The generosity of many peo-
ple in this group is unsur-
passed. Don't be afraid to
ask for things.
• Check the craigslist
[www.craigslist.org]
Free section for your
area before spending
money. Ix)ts of useful
items are being given
away all the time.
• [)o it yourself, for
everything possible.
Need clothing
altered, a roof
repaired, oil in the car
changed? Read up on it.
There are manuals and how-
to books for everything
under the sun. If you can
team how to do a task, not
only will you save yourself
money, but you'll then have
a skill that's valuable to oth-
ers. Assess your skills and
see what you might barter
for things you need.
• Consider adopting a phi-
losophy of voluntary sim-
plicity where less is more.
Voluntary simplicity can put
a whole new face on a tight
budget. Instead of feeling
pressure about what you
can't buy, in a simpler
lifestyle you won't want
extras cluttering your life.
The less stuff you buy, the
less you have to take care of
and the more money you
keep in your pocket.
Bottom line: Become
extremely proprietary about
your cash. Take a hard look
at each and every situation in
which you might spend
money. Make every peruiy
count.
David Uffington regrets that
he cannot personally answer
reader questions, hut will
incorporate them into his col-
umn whenever possible.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) It's a good time to take a
much-needed break from
your recent hectic schedule
and spend some time in qui-
eter surroundings. Important
news could arrive early next
week.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) The Taurean traits of
reliability and thoroughness
could be well-tested when
decision-makers consider
your proposals and/or
requests. Be prepared to
answer some probing ques-
tions.
GEMIN!(May21 to June
20) A sydden attack of bore-
dom leaves you with some
tasks undone. It's OK to take
a short respite. But get back
to work by week's end so
that you have time for other
projects.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Avoid prejudging a situa-
tion just because it looks
bad. Facts could emerge that
would make your position
uncomfortable, to say the
least. A relative has interest-
ing news to share with you.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) This is a good time to
begin reassessing some of
your recent decisions about
your long-range goals to see
if they still have merit. Spend
more time with loved ones
this weekend.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) An unsettled
situation at home or on the
job early in the week could
drain your energy levels,
making it difficult to get
your work done on schedule.
But things improve by mid-
week.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A temporary
setback could give you time
to go over your plans to find
weaknesses you might have
overlooked before. A roman-
tic getaway with that special
person is favored this week-
end.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Professional
and personal situations ben-
efit once you set a positive
tone in getting things off to a
good start. Honest dialogue
smoothes over any occasion-
al display of balkiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
problem with workplace col-
leagues or family members
seems to defy even your sage
counsel. But be patient. Your
words will eventually lead to
a resolution.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Don't just
wait out that unexpected and
unexplained delay in your
career move. You could gain
added respect if you ask why
it happened and what you
can do to move things along.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Although
your workplace strategies
usually are accepted, you
could be challenged by
someone who isn't so favor-
ably impressed. Be prepared
to defend your positions.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Your friendship
circle expands, with new
people coming into your life
at this time. Welcome them
warmly. But don't neglect
those cherished longtime
personal relationships.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
love to search for knowledge
and share it with others. You
would make an especially
fine teacher.

Davis Issues Call For Commercial Tax Base Growth
Cont 'd From Pa^e I
"People want to live in our
city and that is a gocxl thing.
However, the commercial
tax base has not sustained
similar growth.
"To ease the burden on
residential taxpayers, we
musty commit to aggres-
sively pursue business for
our city. We cannot wait
for business to come to us;
we must go get the business.
Lowe's is a good start, but
Lowes and BJ's is even bet-
ter."
Davis said likening gov-
ernment to business is "a
cliche . . . not often doable"
but "like a business the city
must look to ways to save
homeowners money with
their utilities."
"Quincy residents have
only one option for cable,"
WARD 4 COUNCILLOR Jay Davis was re-elected to his second term as City Council President
and Jeanne Reardon to her 29"" term as clerk of City Council Committees. He was nominated
by Doug Gutro and she by Leo Kelly. With them is City Clerk Joseph Shea, who presided over
the Mid-Term ceremonies. Quincy Sun Photo/Robert Noble
he said. "1 will ask the City
Council to hold hearings
aimed at attracting more dents. The increased com-
cable options for city resi- petition will save residents'
money.
"As does alternative ener-
gy and increased recycling.
If you do not use a barrel for
single stream recycling, call
the DPW and get your blue
recycling sticker. Do away
with the bin and use a bar-
rel. Your participation saves
money."
Davis also used his talk
to reiterate his call for a
four-year term for Quincy's
mayor, who serves only two
years now.
"Two years is too short."
he said. "The mayor of the
city of Quincy must be
able to establish long-term
policies and programs that
are in the city's best inter-
est. It is time for Quincy to
join Boston. Braintree and
Weymouth and have a four-
year term for the mayor."
Davis noted that in a
matter of days Quincy High
School students will be
walking the corridors of a
new building. A site for a
new Central Middle School
will be known by the end of
the year. And the city will
save millions in the state's
group insurance plan.
"20()9 will be a year of
tough choices," he said. "As
elected officials we make
mistakes and we are not per-
fect. However, 1 guarantee
you that no one works hard-
er for our city than Mayor
Koch and his staff, the city
councillors and the members
of the School Committee.
"1 can promise you that
we will use our intelligence,
experience and knowledge
to make the best decisions
for Quincy."
Community Preservation Committee To Hold Public Meeting Tonight
The City of Quincy's
Preservation Committee
(CPC) will be holding a pub-
lic meeting in the Council
Chambers in City Hall to-
night (Thursday) 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
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 Qumcy, $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
office no later than Feb. 27.

Fatal Crash Still Under Investigation
Thousands Of Firefighters Here
In Tribute To Lt. Kevin Kelley
By TOM HENSHAW
Thousands of firefighters
from cities, towns and ham-
lets across the country gath-
ered in Quincy this week to
bid farewell to Lt. Kevin
M. Kelley of Wollaston, the
Boston firefighter who died
a hero when the fire truck
he was riding careened into
a brick building in Mission
Hill.
Funeral mass was to have
been celebrated yesterday
(Wednesday) at 10 a.m. in
St. Ann's Church in Wol-
laston with burial in Cedar
Grove Cemetery in Boston.
Visiting hours were Tuesday
in Keohane Funeral Home,
785 Hancock St., Wollas-
ton.
Kelley, a 30-year veteran
of the Boston Fire Depart-
ment, was riding on Ladder
26, based at the Huntington
Avenue Station, returning
from a routine medical call,
Friday when the truck went
out of control on a steep hill
and crashed into an apart-
ment building.
Paul Moody, vice presi-
dent of the Quincy Firefight-
ers Union, said about 5,000
firefighters from across the
country were expected to
make the sad trek Tuesday
and Wednesday to Quincy
for the traditional farewell
to a fallen brother.
"They were coming from
New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio," he said, "and some
have called Boston from as
far away as California"
The MBTA donated 30
buses to carry the visiting
firefighters to Merryniounl
Parkway in Quincy from
the Bayside Expo Center in
Boston, leaving at 8:30 a.m.
for the 10 a.m. Wednesday
services at St. Ann's.
The visitors were to form
the traditional "Sea of Blue"

Public Hearings Jan. 20
City councillors have a
full agenda Tuesday, Jan.
20, when members meet for
the first time since the holi-
day break. The meeting will
be held in City Hall.
Members are meeting
Tuesday due to the Martin
Luther King holiday on their
regular meeting date.
The major issue on the
council's agenda is a re-
view of the municipal audit
conducted by the Wakefield
firm of Powers and Sul-
livan, an independent firm
that specializes in municipal
finance.
Prior to the council meet-
ing, committees will con-
sider the Furnace Brook
Off- ramp at 6 p.m., recon-
vene the public hearing on C
Mart at 6:30 p.m., and open
a public hearing on a pro-
posal for a Special Permit
by Quincy Medical Center.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee said the council
will likely close the public
hearing on C Mart Tuesday
and consider a report on
Hancock Street traffic pre-
pared by Traffic Engineer
Jack Gillan.
McNamee does not ex-
pect any further action on
Tuesday on the Special Per-
mit request for the Asian

Councillors will also con-

The power plant conver-
sion upgrade will increase
efficiency and reduce fuel
consumption, allowing for
both oil and gas fuel as alter-

McGunigle, spokesperson
for the medical center.
As for the effect on the
neighborhood, McGunigle
estimates that the conver-
sion project will reduce an-
nual fuel deliveries from 66
to three a year and the two
1952 boilers will be shut
down and decommissioned.
The project should be
completed in 2(X)9, accord-
ing to McGunigle.

THE QUINCY SENIOR CEMER located in this 16,000 sq. ft. building on East Squantum
Street at Quincy Shore Drive will open in the spring and offer a variety of services and pro-
grams, according to Council on Aging Director thomas Clasby. The former Myles Standish
School and Beechwood Community Center were located in the building which is currently
undergoing $13 million in renovations and repairs. Once completed, the building will also be
equipped with generators and serve as a disaster emergency center.
Spring Opening Planned
Senior Center Plans
Draw Praise, Concerns
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Mayor Thomas Koch will
open the city's senior center
in the spring, according to
Helen Murphy, Director of
Operations, who updated
the City Council's Senior
Citizens Committee on the
project Monday.
Murphy and architect
Jim Edwards of Holmes and
Edwards, Inc. outlined the
$1.5 million in repairs and
renovations underway at
the former Myles Standish
School on East Squantum
St., North Quincy.
"We're making steady
progress," Murphy said in
her opening remarks, pre-
dicting "a grand opening in
the spring."
"The time has come for
us to have a place of our
own," said Thomas Clasby,
Executive Director of the
Council on Aging.
Clasby, then, described
the new 16,000 square foot
center as suited for seniors
with exercise space, a com-
puter lab, and classrooms
for seminars, and access to
walking paths and Wollas-
ton Beach.
While councillors praised
plans for the project, several
questioned using funds from
a 2007 capital improvement
bond to cover $1.2 million
of the $1 .3 million in repairs
and renovations and they,
unsuccessfully, sought de-
finitive long-term costs for
operating the center.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi is chairman
of the committee with mem-
bers Councillors Joseph
Finn, Douglas Gutro, Ward
5, Brian McNamee, Ward 6,
and Ward 1 Councillor Leo
Kelly who was absent.
Also attending the meet-
ing were Councillors John
Keenan and Kevin Cough-
lin,Ward3.
Finn and Gutro, also,
criticized the repeated state-
ment by administrators that
the center would be "at no
cost" to the taxpayer.
The building, previ-
ously used by the private
non-profit Beechwood On
the Bay community center
was at "a level of disrepair
beyond what we expected,"
said Murphy.
However, Murphy told
councillors there would be
no cost to taxpayers for ren-
ovations of the former Myles
Standish as the funding was
in place for the project.
Murphy outlined the
funding sources includ-
ing $1.2 million from a
Capital Improvement bond
approved Feb. 20, 2007 in
the Phelan administration,
and $150,000 each in grants
from the state and a com-
munity development block
grant.
Edwards described the
building as structurally
sound but in need of seri-
ous repair, new windows,
sashes, insulation, wiring,
lighting, alarms and a heat-
ing and ventilation system
that will make the building
"incredibly more energy ef-
ficient," safe and accessible
for seniors.

Challenges Taken To Two Courts
City To Fight State's
Ruling On Billboard
BU Dean Of Students Guest Speaker
Martin Luther King, Jr. To Be
Honored At NQHS Breakfast Jan. 19
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Billboard foes last week
lost Round 1 in their bid to
have a controversial 8()-foot
West Quincy billboard dis-
mantled, but they are count-
ing on future court challeng-
es for success.
Mayor Thomas Koch
said Tuesday that the city's
efforts to remove the bill-
board will continue despite
a state board's 3-0 ruling
against the city on Jan. 8.
"This part of the process
is only one part of the fight
to do the right thing and re-
move this billboard, and we
are looking forward to mak-
ing the City's case in court,"
Koch said, referring to last
week's rejection of the city's
case by the three-mem-
ber Outdoor Advertising
Division of MassHighway.
City Solicitor James
Timmins said the billboard
case will be heard in both
Land Court and Norft)lk
County Superior C\)urt
and city officials will con-
tinue their efforts to have
it removed despite the state
board's decision.
Ihe Outdoor Advertising
Board has the power to per-
mit or reject a billboard in
the state.
After a billboard is ap-
proved on a municipal level,
the state board must approve
the location, and must issue
a permit stating the bill-
JAMES TIMMINS
board meets state require-
ments. The permits must be
renewed on an annual basis.
The state renewed the
permit for the billboard in
August, but reconsidered its
decision in October
On Oct. 29. Edward
Farley. the board's Executive
Director, informed all parties
that the state board would
hold the Dec. 1 1 hearing on
the single issue prohibiting
billboards within 3()() feet of
park land or open space.
City councillors John
Keenan and Daniel
Raymondi, Ward 2. both
attended the hearing as did
do/.ens of area residents.
Keenan called the Dec.
1 1 meeting a "Battle of the
Maps" and said the city
clearly proved its case,
namely that the billboard is
located within 3()() feet of
parkland in violation of state
law.
"1 disagree with the deci-
sion," said Keenan Monday,

distance between the open
space and the billboard was
less than 3(H) feet.
Keenan said the attor-
neys for Boston Outdoor
Ventures, LLC agreed on
the distance, but then "tried
to claim it wasn't accessible
(parkland). I've taken my
children there."
Raymondi said he was
not surprised by the decision
and characterized the three
board members as disinter-
ested at the hearing, falling
asleep.
Raymondi believes the
Advertising Board ordered
hearing "just to cover the
Commonwealth's liability
on the issue."
City Council President
Jay Davis did not attend
the state hearing, but said
Monday that he always be-

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On Jan. 13, 1128, Pope
Honorius II grants a papal
sanction to the military order
known as the Knights Tem-
plar, declaring it to be an
army of God. Their mission
was to protect Christian pil-
grims on their way to the
Holy Land during the Cru-
sades.
• On Jan. 14, 1870, the first
recorded use of a donkey to
represent the Democratic
Party appears in Harper's
Weekly, drawn by political
illustrator Thomas Nast.
Four years later, Nast origi-
nated the use of an elephant
to symbolize the Republican
Party.
• On Jan. 17, 1916, a group
of golf professionals and
several leading amateur
golfers gather at the Taplow
Club in New York City in a
meeting that will result in the
founding of the Professional
Golfers Association (PGA).
On April 10. 1916, the PGA
was officially established
with 35 charter members.
• On Jan. 16, 1945, Adolf
Hitler takes to his under-
ground bunker, where he
remains for 105 days until he
commits suicide. Both he
and his wife, Eva Braun
swallowed cyanide capsules,
which had been tested for
dog
their efficacy on his
Blondi and her pups.
•On Jan. 18, 1958, hockey
player Willie O'Ree of the
Boston Bruins takes to the
ice for a game against the
Montreal Canadiens,
becoming the first black to
play in the National Hockey
League (NHL). It would be
16 years before another
black player, Ontario's Mike
Marson, played in the NHL.
• On Jan. 15, 1981, "Hill
Street Blues," television's
landmark cops-and-robbers
drama, debuts on NBC. "Hill
Street Blues" not only
changed the way Americans
viewed police officers, it
also revolutionized televi-
sion drama itself. The full
squad house of regulars on
the show rarely resolved cas-
es in one episode.
•OnJan.l2,1995,Qubilah
Shabazz, the daughter of Mai -
colm X, is arrested for con-
spiring to kill Louis Far-
rdkhan. Shabazz believed that
Farrakhan was responsible
for the as.sassination of her
father in 1%5, and sought to
exact revenge through a hired
killer. Shabazz admitted her
"responsibility," but not her
guilt, and the government
accepted a plea bargain.

Personal Thoughts On George W. Bush
OBAMA
BUSH
{My personal impressions as President George W.
Bush leaves office and Barack Ohama takes com-
mand.)
I don't think I would want to be in Barack Obama's
shoes next Tuesday.
And step into the mess George W. Bush has left
him after his eight
years in the White
House.
I don't know how
history will treat
Bush but it definite-
ly cannot ignore the
Iraq War, which to
many is known as
"Bush's Blunder."
And there's the economic crisis with a 7.2% unem-
ployment rate, the highest in 16 years. But there are a
lot of people who can share the credit for that.
I voted for Bush first time around. Wanted to get as
far away as possible from the Clinton-Lewinsky White
House antics.
But 1 regretted that vote when he decided to invade
Iraq.
He was gung-ho to get us there.
In March 2003 he ordered the attack and in his ad-
dress to Congress and the American people focused on
Saddam Hussein as a cruel villain and world threat.
A cruel villain he was but a world threat can be ar-
gued.
Actually Saddam was a next-door deterrent to Iran
and one who could keep that nut cake, Ahmadinejad, a
real world menace, in check.
But what turned out to be unreliable intelligence-
and even suspect back then-Bush told Congress and
the people:
"The people of the United States and our friends
and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw re-
gime that threatens with weapons of mass murder."
No such weapons, of course, were ever found. Nei-
ther was any link between Saddam and 9/11, which
incidentally happened on Bush's watch. Bush recently
said he was sorry for the faulty intelligence.
So, it became "The War On Terrorism," after we got
bogged down and the death toll steadily rose in Iraq.
Invading Iraq would be a slam-dunk, some said.
The people will throw flowers at us for liberating them,
Rumsfeld predicted.
Instead, we got suicide bombers and roadside
bombs, which are still exploding today.
And then the ultimate embarrassment and insult.
The President of the United States ducking two
shoes thrown at his head at a farewell press conference
in Iraq.
Along with the shoes came angry, bitter words from
the correspondent who threw them:
"This is a gift from the Iraqis, the farewell kiss, you
dog... This is from the widows and orphans who were
killed in Iraq."
SHINE Counsel At Aging Office
A SHINE counselor will
be available Tuesdays and
Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m. at the Quincy
Council on Aging office, 83
Saratoga St., Quincy, to as-
sist the elderly and adults
with disabilities with health
informafion and benefits.
SHINE is an acronym for
Serving the Health Informa-
tion Needs of Elders.
Call 617-376-1247 to
make an appointment or to
speak with a SHINE coun-
selor.
Home visits can be ar-
ranged for shut-ins.
In the beginning it looked like invading Iraq might
be a slam-dunk. Down came Saddam's statue. Boy,
that was easy.
Just a couple of months later. Bush in flight jacket-
in the cockpit of a Navy plane, landed on the aircraft
carrier Abraham Lincoln off the California coast.
And with a banner behind him, proclaiming "Mis-
sion Accomplished," he triumphantly declared "the
end of major combat."
The end of major combat! A time to celebrate vic-
tory? Not exactly.
More than 4,000 American military personal have
given their lives so far.
And more than 30,000 wounded.
Not little flesh wounds. But loss of arms and legs
and severe mental wounds. Their lives and the lives of
their families traumatically changed forever.
And the Iraqi civilian death toll is in the lO's of
thousands and climbing.
Our men and women patriotically give it their all in
harm's way every day. But will it actually ever end?
In two months we will have been in Iraq six years,
longer than we were around the world in World War
II.
Bush supporters point to us occupying Japan and
Germany after that N^ar. But it was for the transition to
peace. Without the combat still going on in Iraq.
We are still trying to find a way to get out. The Iraq-
is are starting to want us out.
When-and if we do get out-there's a nagging ques-
tion:
What did we really accomplish? The Iraqi democ-
racy is shaky and could collapse. The people are fight-
ing among themselves.
Was it worth the price we have paid in human lives
and the billions and billions of dollars?
With Bush's stubborn cowboy diplomacy, we have
lost respect in the world despite all of our generosity
to countries in need. Many see us as the bully of the
world.
How will history judge George W. Bush's eight
years in the White House?
Time will tell.
He certainly wasn't a Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
Harry Truman, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Ronald Rea-
gan. Or even his father, George H.W. Bush.
Barack Obama takes command next Tuesday. He
has awesome challenges ahead. He's no magician with
a magic wand. He needs a lot of help and encourage-
ment. There will be disappointments.
Let's hope he has the right people around him to
advise him and to find a way out of our economic di-
saster.
And bring our men and women back home from
Iraq where they belong.
I didn't vote for Obama but I wish him well. For his
sake and ours.
Say a prayer for him.
Make that more than one.

Scenes From Yesterday
A
THIS IS A 1926 view of the Granite Railway Company's
compressor house and stone shed at the end of Mullin
Avenue in West Quincy. The company was one of the
largest, most important and longest running companies
during Quincy's era as a granite producer. For many
years the smokestack with the company's name, albeit
broken in half, was a West Quincy landmark. It was
clearly visible from the Southeast Expressway, which
passes just a stone's throw from here. These buildings
were located at the foot of the incline of America's first
railroad that came down from the rim of the Granite Rail
Quarry above. The large stone cutting shed on the left
has long been demolished and its site along with much
of the company's property here is now a residential
subdivision. However the brick compressor house in
the foreground, now with a second floor, still stands. For
a while, several years ago, it was used as a home for a
Quincy granite industry museum. It is now owned and
used by the state's Department of Conservation and
Recreation for storage. To contact Tom GaSvin, e-mail

^
Ann Marie's Polenta, Eggplant Bake
It seems like I have some multiple ways
to make baked eggplant, but each way is
different and so delicious, you will want to
try them all. At least I have. This one is from
daughter Ann Marie.
The secret ingredient which won't be
after this is printed, is polenta, and even if
you're not fan, I think you will enjoy this
combination.
Polenta, Eggplant Bake
2 medium sized eggplant sliced (either
with skin on or ofD
1 quart of so of tomato sauce
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
bread crumbs
about 8 ounces of instant polenta
J egg
1/2 cup milk
vegetable oil for sauteing
First cook the polenta accordmg to direc-
tions. Layer it on a slightly greased cookie
sheet and cook in a 35 0 degree oven for 25
minutes. Set aside. And then cut in squares
Mix the egg and milk together. Dip the
eggplant in the egg mixture and then in the
bread crumbs. In a frying pan, saute the
eggplant and then drain on paper towel.
(You can also cook these by baking them
in a slightly greased cookie sheet for bout
15 minutes.)
In a slightly greased baking dish, start
with a layer or tomato sauce. Now place
the eggplant., tomato sauce and mozzarella
cheese, the polenta,, tomato sauce and moz-
zarella cheese, and so on until the top. Then
top It with sauce and the mozzarella cheese.
Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for 30
minutes. Then uncover over and bake for
10 more minutes. Cool for a bit, and then
cut in squares.

At January 25 Mass
Sacred Heart Church, School
To Honor Gene, Mary Raux
For Long-Time Service
The Sacred Heart School
community plans a special
tribute to longtime volun-
teers Gene and Mary Eliza-
beth Raux at the 10:30 a.m.
Mass, Sunday, Jan. 25.
immediately following
the Mass, an Open House
at Sacred Heart School will
kick off Catholic Schools
Week. This years theme is
"Catholic Schools Celebrate
Service."
The Raux's are a prime
example of service to the
Sacred Heart School com-
munity, according to Rev.
John O'Bnen. pastor and
Kathenne Hunter, princi-
pal.
"Mr. and Mrs. Raux are
lifelong members of Sacred
Heart parish and are highly
committed to our church and
school," said Rev. O'Brien,
adding, "I am most grateful
for their invaluable financial
assistance and their selfless
work."
The Raux have been
active volunteers for the
school for 47 years begin-
ning in 1962 when they
offered their help at the Sa-
cred Heart Bingo Monday
nights.
In the 47 years since that
time, the Bingo program has
contributed over S4,750.(X)0
to Sacred Heart School and
the funds help lower tuition
for all students. In 2007,
Sacred Heart Bingo was the
fifth largest grossing bingo
in the state.
"Mr. and Mrs Raux's
commitment to the Bin-
go Program the past 47
years has benefited every
child who has matricu
lated through Sacred Heart
School, 1 am thankful to
them both," said Hunter.
In 1991, the Raux took
over the duties of bookkeep-
er and member-in-charge.
Those duties were consider-
able as they not only man-
aged the weekly bingo but
also reported the profit to
the State after each event,
then prepared and submit-
ted an annual report to the
State every January.
The couple, also, sup-
plies lottery tickets, snacks
and sodas for the players
and volunteers.
"We enjoy seeing the
players and volunteers ev-
ery week," said Gene and
Mary Raux.
"They are like family to
us. Without the support of
the parish, school, work-
ers and players, we would
not have been able to direct
this program. Many thanks
to all," said the Raux in re-
sponse to the honor.
The couple graduated
from North Quincy High
School in 1942. They were
married at Sacred Heart
Church in 1951 and raised
four children in Quincy
The Raux. both 83, have ten
grandchildren.
Gene Raux was an Armv
Air Corps B25 pilot and was
Executive Vice president at
Hancock Paint for 22 years.
In addition to helping the
school's Bingo program, he
is currently a lector. Eucha-
ristic minister and usher at
the church.
Eor many years. Gene
Raux helped organize the
painting of the parish con-
vent, rectory, church, class-
rooms and halls. He has.
also, been named the Hol>
Name Society President.

Year.

aid the project as well, ac-
cording to Hdwards.
I'nder the current plan,
the center uill also be lilted
with generators and serve as
an emergency relief destina-
tion, according to Murphy
Clasby said the Health
Department will move in
soon using approximately
KKX) square feet in the cor-
ner rooms at the West end
of the building. That move
should save the city approx-
imately $60,(XX) annually in
rental fees.
Clasby added that the
Health Department will use
that space on a 'short-term'
basis, but the short term was
never defined.
Finn questioned the
transfer of $1.2 million in
bond funds originally ear-
marked for a Department of
Public Works garage.
In addition, Finn sought
a detailed breakdown on fu-
ture operating costs, such as
heat, utilities and programs,
but Clasby said estimates
were unavailable as com-
parisons with similar scht)ol
building varied consider-
ably.
"We're not adding staff."
said Clasby who expects
new costs will be mitigated
by membership fees, volun-
HELKN Ml'RPHY
leer activities, and an active
friends group.
As for Koch's use of the
capital improvement bond,
Finn .said, "I'm a little un-
easy."
Finn noted that the coun-
cil reviewed each item in the
bond requisition before ap-
proving the bond in 2007.
Finn, also, cited the word-
ing of the S.^ million Capitol
Improvements projects orig-
inally designating $1 .9 mil-
lion funds for a Department
of Works garage.
Murphy said the garage
repair project was not feasi-
ble and had been tempt)rar-
ily halted A different DPW
building has been repaired.
Councillors then asked

Hardy and Michael Mo-
the mayor was allowed to nahan of the Department of
redirect the funds, but said
such moves made him "ner-

"That's carte

ecutive." Finn said, empha-
sizing that the council ap-
proved the 2(K)7 $3 million
bond \\ith specific projects
in mind.
■Tm sure it will be top-
notch,"" said Gutro of the se-
nior center, but he added. "It
certainly isn't 'no-cost.""
Gutro also cited the S3

ment bond, but acknowl-

signs eliminated the major

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
Quincy Legislators Plan
To Give Raises To Charity
During, After Winter Storms:
Follow These Fire Prevention Tips
I've been thinking of
how to address the haz-
ards related to the recent
ice storm that took place
north and west of Quincy.
News reports of power out-
ages conveyed warnings of
electrocution hazards where
downed power lines were so
prevalent; alternate methods
of heating homes were then
sought by homeowners and
stories of carbon monoxide
(CO) poisoning were com-
mon.
For our own enlighten-
ment Fd like to know the
details behind the CO expo-
sure alone where we could
then learn valuable lessons
from those incidents. In lieu
of that information however,
I have found a public notice
from the State Fire Mar-
shal's Oftice focusing on
overall major storm safety
(FIREFACTORS/Office of
the Slate Fire Marshal).
Id like to share the gist
of that notice here with you
now. It highlights prevent-
ing fires, electrical shock
and carbon monoxide poi-
soning when coping with a
disaster. It suggests:
Give your smoke
alarms fresh batteries:
Smoke alarms can double
your chances of surviving a
fire. Make sure your alarms
have fresh batteries. Con-
sider adding a battery oper-
ated smoke detector to your
existing hard-wired detec-
tors. In the event you lose
electricity and your hard-
wired detectors no longer
function, a battery-operated
detector is present. I myself
have done so and installed it
on the ceiling at the base of
the cellar stairs.
Use flashlights instead

of candles: Candles can eas-
ily start a tire. Candle fires
have more than doubled
in the past decade. Power
outages can turn deadly
when candles are left unat-
tended or misused. If using
candles, burn them within
a one-foot circle of safety,
free of anything thai can
burn. Never leave candles
burning unattended. Place
them on a sturdy ceramic
or metal candleholder and
keep them out of the reach
of children and pets.
Use generators out-
doors: Fuel powered ma-
chines should be used out-
side the home, away from
the home. During this last
ice storm at least one fatali-
ty resulted when a generator
was running too close to a
home. The resulting carbon
monoxide fumes infiltrated
that home, killing an inhab-
itant.
Carbon monoxide de-
tectors can protect a home
from this silent killer: Car-
bon monoxide (CO) is both
colorless and odorless. If
you suspect a CO exposure,
get out of the home and get
fresh air immediately. Call
the fire department from
a neighbor's house, and if
you have symptoms, seek
medical help immediately.
Protect household members
with CO detectors on each
level of your home and 10
feet from bedroom doors.
Use caution when using
alternate heating meth-
ods: Use a screen or glass
enclosure on fireplaces
where sparks and embers
can enter the living space.
Make certain wood or coal
stoves and their flues are
maintained; are free of ob-
struction and excessive
creosote and keep anything
that can bum a minimum
three feet away from the
fireplace or these stoves.
Dispose of ashes within a
metal container with a lid,
outside and away from the
home.
Unvented fossil fuel
burning space heaters utiliz-
ing propane or fuel oil are
unlawful for use in habit-
able living spaces. They are
typically designed for use at
construction sites where the
flow of air and ventilation is
significantly greater.
A friend in another com-
munity, who was affected
by that earlier ice storm, in-
formed me that a merchant
recommended he purchase
a propane space heater for
his home; informing him
that he could use it safely
indoors. An unvented fuel
fired space heater cannot be
used within a home. Both
oil fired and propane fired
space heaters produce copi-
ous amounts of CO and oth-
er asphyxiates and deplete
the house of oxygen.
Do not be tempted to use
an unvented fuel fired space
heater within your home.
Do not use charcoal or
propane grills inside your
home: Charcoal produces
copious amounts of CO as
well and a propane cylin-
der within a home creates
entirely new issues in ad-
dition to CO. It is unlawful
to store a propane cylinder
with a habitable space and
a leaking cylinder within a
confined space creates an
explosion hazard.
Charge up your cell
phone battery in advance:
If a storm is heading you
way, it is a good idea to have
your cell phone charged
should you lose domestic
phone services.
If you suspect a gas leak
within your home, leave
the home immediately:
Call the fire department
from a neighbor's house or
on your cell phone. Do not
turn electrical switches or
appliances on or off. Never
strike a match as any flame
or spark can ignite gas if it
is within its flammability
limits.
Remember, water and
electricity do not mix: All
downed wires should be
considered live. Be sure to
explain this to children. Do
not venture into a flooded
basement. If charged elec-
trical outlets or the fuse box
is in contact with the water
and electrocution hazard ex-
ists.
Keep furnace and hot
water heater vents clear
of drifting snow: Nicole's
Law was created after a trag-
edy where snow occluded a
gas heater vent, redirecting
combustion gases back into
the building, killing an in-
habitant.
Prevent frozen pipes:
In the absence of heat, let
the water drip from faucets.
Trickling water helps pre-
vent frozen pipes.
Hopefully, we will never
have to contend with the in-
convenience of an extended
power outage. However, if
we do, please include these
safety considerations in your
fire prevention response.
It is too easy to embrace
makeshift alternatives when
household conveniences are
lost; therefore safety con-
siderations are imperative
to maintaining a safe home
environment during an out-
age.
When adapting and com-
pensating during an outage,
think safely. Thank you for
doing so.
At least three of the four
state legislators from Quincy
say they plan to accept the
automatic 5.5 per cent raise
due the 40 senators and 160
representatives and donate it
to a worthy cause.
The controversial pay
hike, reviewed every two
years by popular vote,
would amount to $3209
for each legislator, up from
$58237 to $61,440 and add
$640,000 to budget for the
General Court.
Sen. Michael Morrissey
said he plans to accept the
raise and donate it "to the
best anti -poverty agency on
the South Shore." He did
not name it.
"There's never a good
time to get a raise no matter
how you get it," he said. "In
deference to the economic
times, I'll give it to the peo-
ple who need it the most."
Rep. Stephen Tobin said
he will distribute it to two
or three agencies around his
district.
"1 don't feel comfort-
able keeping it while so
many people are losing their
jobs," he said. "I'd like to
help someone who really
needs it."
Rep. Bruce Ayers said he
too will take the money and
donate it to a charity in his
district.
Rep. Ron Mariano was
out of town and unable to
comment but a spokeswom-
an said he was planning to
accept the raise but she was
unable to say whether he
planned to keep it or give it
away.
Palmucci Disappointed In
State's Billboard Ruling
Ward 4 City Council can-
didate Brian Palmucci says
he was disappointed to learn
that the state will not order
the removal of the con-
troversial billboard in his
neighborhood.
"I, along with my fellow
neighbors, am unhappy with
the ruling of the state's Out-
door Advertising Board,"
Palmucci .said. "I wish that
the board took into account
my testimony, as well as
the testimony of my fellow
Ward 4 residents and decid-
ed in favor of the city."
Palmucci said he will
continue to support the
city's ongoing legal efforts
in Norfolk Superior Court
and Land Court to have the
billboard removed.
"I will continue to sup-
port the city's efforts to
have the billboard removed
through legal action," said
Palmucci. "We all must con-
tinue to challenge the exis-
tence of this neighborhood
blight at every turn."
Ward 4 residents were
shocked when the roadside
'blight' was erected last
April, he said.
Palmucci said that in-
cumbent Jay Davis did not
adequately alert them.
A 30-year-old state pros-
ecutor and the one-time
president of the Ward 4
Neighborhood Association,
Palmucci formed an elec-
tion committee last month
for his run.
Palmucci vows to use his
law enforcement experience
to help fight the city's grow-
ing drug problem. He will
also encourage smart, re-
sponsible development that
will expand the city's tax
base, while, also, protecting
the neighborhood's unique
character.

ley's body was to be brought
to the church on Hngine 37
from Boston.
After the funeral mass,
the visitors were to accom-
pany Kelley 's body to the
gravesite at Cedar Grove
Cemetery on the banks
of the Neponset River in
Dorchester,
Hancock Street from
Fcnno Street to approxi-
mately Billings Road was to
be closed from 8:30 to 11:30
a.m. to permit those attend-
mg the funeral to get to and
leave the church of the cem-
etery.
Meanwhile, investigators
blamed faulty brakes for the
accident, sparking a review
of the department's fleet of
aging trucks. Boston Fire
Commissioner Roderick
Fraser ordered an inspection
of the brake systems of 44
other vehicles.
David Blaides, one of
three firehghters who were
injured aboard Ladder 26
when it crashed into the
building, testified to Kel-
ley's heroism.
"He did everything he
could," Blaides told the
Boston Globe. "He was on
the horn. He was on the si-
ren. He said to us, 'Brace
yourself. We can't stop this
beast. Brace yourself.'"
Kelley 's family, his wife,
Gloria, and his daughters,
Susan, Christine and Mau-
reen, issued a statement eu-
logizing their departed hus-
band and father.
"Kevin's family gave
him the most enjoyment in
his life. They loved traveling
together and took frequent
trips to Disney World and
cruises to the Caribbean. He
was especially proud of his
three daughters.
"His second love was the
Boston Fire Department.
Kevin is a second gen-
eration firefighter and the
fourth most senior lieuten
ant on the job.
"He could have worked
anywhere in Boston, but be-
cause of his nature, he chose
the busiest firehouse in Bos-
ton. He was well respected
amongst his peers, active in
the union and loved going
to work. Kevin had a great
sense of humor, loved to
tease and possessed a tre-
mendous work ethic."
Kelley gained national
recognition in 2(X)5 as one
of the stars of the TV real-
ity show, "Fire House USA
Boston" on the Discovery
Channel, which featured
Ladder 26 and the busy
Huntington Avenue Station.

More Snowfall Boosts City Cost To $500,000
What promises to be a
rugged winter saw up to six
inches of snow dropped on
Quincy during the weekend
and forecast more of the
while stuff and a deep freeze
for the rest of the week.
The storm passed un-
eventful in the city, said
Christopher Walker, the
mayor's spokesman, even
though a snow emergency
was declared from 4 p.m.
Saturday to 7 a.m. Monday
to facilitate snow removal.
"It helped that it came
over the weekend." he said.
Walker estimated that the
city has spent some $5(K).(){X)

A Job Well Done
On Tuesday, Dec. 30, Detectives Jason Maclsaac and
David Pacino were reviewing the previous night's inci-
dents and reports when they came across a Field Inter-
rogation and Observation
(FIO) report completed
by Officer Timothy Moran.
FIO's are reports submit-
ted by officers when they
encounter an individual(s)
acting suspiciously, such as
being in a place without a
reasonable explanation.
In this FIO, Officer Mo-
ran stated that he ob-
served a male suspect on
Dec. 29 at approximately
1 1:30 p.m. This suspect was
found riding a bicycle in the area of three motor vehicles
that were ecjuipped with portable GPS mounts. Due to
the large number of motor vehicle breaks that have oc-
curred in the general vicinity, the officer approached the
suspect and questioned him and after checking for war-
rants, let him go.
In reviewing Officer Moran's completed FIO form, the
detectives observed that the suspect in the FIO matched
the physical description of a suspect related to a recovery
of a stolen motor vehicle that occurred on Dec. 18 at ap-
proximately 11:33 a.m. The suspect in this case was
driving a stolen motor vehicle when it ran out of gas. A
security guard offered to help him, but the suspect said he
was going to get some gas and return.
The guard noticed that one of the car's windows was
broken, so he called the police. The police recovered the
car. but the suspect was not found.
The FIO was very specific, stating that the suspect
in the stolen motor vehicle theft was missing his front
teeth. On Dec. 30, the detectives met with the witness
and showed him a photo lineup with the suspect's photo
(from a past arrest) mixed in with other similar photos.
The witness picked out the photo of the suspect and said
that he was "80 %" sure.
The witness was asked if there was anything else that
he could add that would help the investigation. He then
said, 'The suspect had longer hair than the picture and he
was also missing upper teeth " Since the witness was al-
ready "80%" sure and then added that the suspect was
missing front teeth, which is not common, the detectives
felt confident that they had their suspect.
A more in-depth interview with the witness followed
to gather all the information to apply for an arrest war-
rant. The witness said that on Dece. 18 at approximately
1 1:30 a.m., he was working in the lobby of 100 Hancock
St. when he observed a motor vehicle drive into the park-
ing lot of 100 Hancock St. He watched as the driver
stepped out of the vehicle and then began pushing the car
further into the parking lot.
The security guard thought that the driver might be an
employee so he went out to assist. The suspect told him
that he was "all set and just ran out of gas." The security
guard said that he observed the suspect then drop a knife
and immediately retrieve it from the ground. He also
noted that the driver's side window was smashed.
The security guard nofified the Quincy Police and re-
layed the aforementioned events. It was determined that
the car was reported stolen on Dec. 17, from Glover Av-
enue. In an attempt to locate the suspect, the Massachu-
setts State Police inifiated a K9 track, however, the track
was unsuccessful .
Based on the totality of the circumstances, the detec-
tives obtained an arrest warrant and later that day the sus-
pect, an 1 8-year-old Quincy resident, was taken into cus-
tody and charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle.
The suspect was given his Miranda Rights and consented
to questioning.
After a brief period of questioning, the suspect admit-
ted to numerous car breaks in the North Quincy area and
subsequent to this arrest, car breaks are down significant

Foundations Help
QC AP With Funds
For Food, Fuel
Four family foundations
have created a $1.1 million
emergency assistance fund
for residents across the state
who are struggling with
food and fuel costs.
The Quincy Community
Action Program (QC'AP),
Hancock Street, Quincy
Center, is one of the recipi-
ents of funds contributed
by The Eos Foundation of
Boston and Harwichport . the
Highland Street Foundation
of Boston, the Fireman
Foundation and an anony-
mous foundation.
"Family foundations of-
ten quietly and anonymous-
ly donate funds to individ-
ual organizations and pro-
grams," said Andrea Silbert,
Eos president, adding that
the leaders of the four pri-
vate foundations wanted to
create a '"foundation con-
sortium' to maximize the
impact we can make and to
set an example of collabora-
tion.
"During this economic
crisis, it is more impor-
tant than ever to step up to
the plate and help those in
need." she concluded.
David McGrath, a trustee
of the Highland Street foun-
dation, warned that "Ihe
recent economic turmoil,
combined with increases
in food and fuel costs, has
set the stage for a finan-
cially troubling winter for
Massachusetts resident."
McGrath urged everyone to
consider "charitable giving
in whatever way they are
able- financial support, do-
nation of food products or
volunteering to help those in
need."
"We applaud the ef-
forts of these four fam-
ily foundations in providing
aid to people throughout
Massachusetts who may be
looking for assistance in the
coming months," said Lt.
Gov. Tim Murray who at-
tended the press conference
at the Greater Boston Food
Bank.

Army kettle in front of City Hall for
three cold, snowy days in December.
They raised a generous $8^57 for
the Salvation Army's Quincy Tem-

families at Christmas, up 48 from last
year. Despite hard times for many,
they reached out to help others. Over-

It seems ironic to realize
that, although most Ameri-
cans are born without foot
problems, most of use suf-
fer from them' Neglecting thie
feet through lack of care and
wearing shoes that do not fit
properly cause some of those
issues Additionally, diabetes,
circulatory problems, and ar-
thritis are contributors. When
foot problems affect mobility.
they also affect many other
aspects of an individual's
life Those who are over age
50 have most likely walked
75.000 miles. If not tended
to properly, that alone can
cause wear and tear on the
feel and ankles that can re-
sult in a myriad of foot condi-
tions such as bunions, corns,
calluses, and hammertoe
Should you have foot is-
sues, see a podiatnc doctor
The human foot is an amaz-
ing marvel When its complex
parts aren't working together
properly to allow you to walk
in comfort, it's time to seek
a podiatrist's attention for di
agnoses and treatment. As

Winter storm door
woes, continued
Q, Please help me. The
• wind caught the
storm door, yanked it out
of my hand and now it
won't close on its own. It
has hydraulic closers, but
now I have to pull it closed.
I think the wind, in pulling
it back too far, has sprung
It. How do I fix this? —
Kathy, via e-mail
A .First, check to see if
• the automatic closer
is properly attached and
operating. Ls the closer
attached to its mounting
brackets on both the storm
door and the interior door
frame?
Next, check the automatic
closer function. Open the
door halfway and let it go to
see if the closer pulls it shut
slowly. If it simply opens
and slams shut (or just hangs
there), try rotating the closer
cylinder (on hydraulic units)
and test again. (Pneumatic
closers have rate adjustment
screws on one end of the
cylinder.) Look for oil on the
outside of a hydraulic unit
— this means the closer is
malfunctioning.
If the closer still fails to
operate, it probably needs to
be replaced. If the brackets
are OK, leave them in place,
open the door fully and pop
out just the cylinder. Take it
to the hardware store and
buy a new cylinder, install in
place and test the unit again.
Tliis is much faster than
replacing the entire unit, as
you won't have to go to the
trouble of balancing the
brackets.
If your door does not have
a safety chain or the chain
broke when the wind yanked
the door, install a new chain.

Tips To Help Keep Seniors Safer In And Around Their Homes
Senior Citizen Security At Home
According to the U.S.
Department of Justice, se-
nior citizens usually expe-
rience lower rates of crime.
But when seniors are vic-
timized, there is a 92 percent
chance the crime will occur
in or near their homes.
"As we age. our safety
and security needs change,
so it's important to take ex-
tra precautions to keep our-
selves and our senior family
members safe," said Steve
Shapiro, director of product
management for ADT Se-
curity Services. "Although
statistics show seniors are
less likely to be vulnerable
to some types of crime, they
are more likely than any
other age group to be vic-
tims of crime in their own
homes."
To help better protect
America's seniors from
property crime and personal
theft, ADT has developed
the following essential safe-
ty tips:
• Never hide keys under
the doormat, in the mail-
box or in a planter, burglars
will go straight for these
typical hiding spots to look
for spare keys. Spare keys
should be left with a trusted
neighbor.
• If you decide to install
an alarm system, consider
one that is monitored for
burglary, fire, carbon mon-
oxide and medical emergen-
cies. These alarm system
features can be life-saving if
you, or a loved one, become
incapacitated while in the
home.
• Install and use good
locks on doors and win-
dows. Good locks are the
first line of defense against
home invasion — it is also
important to make sure your
locks are in working order.
• Never give credit card.
Social Security, phone card
or bank account numbers to
callers who ask for this in-
formation to "verify" prizes.
If they have to ask for this
personal information, it is
a sure sign they are fakes
- never give personal data
over the phone, unless you
know who you are dealing
with.
Recently there have been
cases of seniors being tar-
geted to send cash to some-
one posing as a grandchild.
If you receive a call like
this, you should always call
the child's parents for verifi-
cation, even if they say they
do not want their parents to
know.
When service or delivery
people come to your door,
ask for ID and check with
their company if you are
still unsure. When in doubt,
research the company by
calling police or the Better
Business Bureau. Reputa-
ble companies will have no
problem with your request
for more information.
Most importantly, Sha-
piro wants everyone to re-
member, "Thinking about
home security should be a
top priority, especially as we
grow older and live longer."
ADT Security Services, a
unit of Tyco International, is
the largest provider of elec-
tronic security services to
nearly six million commer-
cial, government and resi-
dential customers through-
out North America. ADT's
Web site address is www.

How To Feel At Home After You Move
(ARA) - Moving to a
new community can be a
great adventure, if you go
with the right attitude and
a sound strategy for settling
in. Make an action plan and
you'll stay focused, orga-
nized and proactive — just
what's needed to put roots
down fast.
Before You Go
* Complete a change of
address form with the post
office, which can be done
online at usps.com. You'll
also want to send your new
address to any publications
you subscribe to, as it can
take up to eight weeks for
the change to become effec-
tive.
* Contact the local Visi-
tor's Bureau for materials
about your new town, which
should include a map. Iden-
tify important routes, such
as those between your home
and your office or your
child's school.
* Make initial contact

with childcare facilities.
Depending on the area you
move to, you may need to
put your name on a waiting
list.
* If possible, enroll your
children in school. Firm
plans will reduce the stress.
* Pack a box with es-
sentials for your first few
nights, such as prescription
medicine, toiletries, a tele-
phone, clothing, towels, toi-
let paper and bed linen.
* You'll also want to
make arrangements to have
utilities transferred to your
name or turned on. In ad-
dition, you will want to set
up appointments to have
services such as telephone,
cable and high-speed Inter-
net connected.
Upon Arrival
* For safety and peace of
mind, change the locks. You
never know who has a copy
of the house key.
* Locate emergency ser-
vices - police and fire sta-
tions and the closest hospi-
tal.
* Hang drapes or curtains
to give you some privacy.
* Select one room, per-
haps the family room, as a
place of refuge. Make it a
cozy space, free of unpacked
boxes, empty cartons or any-
thing else move-related.
* Stock the fridge with
prepared entrees and the
makings for no-fuss meals.
The First Week
* Check with the post of-
fice to see if they are holding
mail for you. Finish send-
ing out change of address
to credit card companies,
clubs, associations, friends
and family.
* File away all docu-
ments related to the move.
You'll need them for verifi-
cation of moving expenses
at tax time .
* Call your waste remov-
al company or department
of sanitation for a trash col-
lection schedule.
* Open a bank account
and arrange for a safe de-
posit box, if needed.
* Obtain a local driver's
license and transfer the ve-
hicle registration.
* Register to vote. Call
the local Board of Elections
for information.
* Take a tour of your
neighborhood to become
familiar with your new sur-
roundings. Learn the routes
to work, school, grocers,
etc.
Help Your
Children Adjust
* Maintain family rou-
tines. Kids will appreciate
the continuity of family life.
* Involve the kids. Al-
low them to select new fur-
nishings or decorate their
rooms.
* Take your children
to the local playground. If
you move during the sum-
mer, it's likely they'll make
friends there, which should
ease the transition to the
new school.
* Try to be home when
the children return from
their first day at school.
Kids feel reassured when a
parent is there to hear about
their day.
* Watch for signs of ad-
justment problems. These
can manifest with trouble-
making friends, academic
difficulties and irritability or
depression.
Get Involved
in the Community
* Spend time outdoors.
Neighbors may greet you
and come by for sidewalk
chats.
* Walk your dog in an
area where you see other
dog owners congregating.
* Schedule an after-work
coffee or dessert hour. Invite
neighbors to drop by.
* Choose a place to wor-
ship and get involved; con-
sider doing volunteer work.
* Select professional
service providers such as
doctor, dentist and financial
and/or tax advisor.
* Find out if your com-
munity has a Newcomers
Club. Your local library is a
good place to start.
* Join a club or take up
activities you enjoyed be-
fore the move.
* Take a job-related class
to develop new professional
contacts and update skills.
Don't hesitate to contact
local financial and real es-
tate professionals for more
ideas or information about
your new community. By
re-establishing daily pat-
tems and developing ties
soon after arrival, your new
environment will feel like
home in no time. For more
tips, visit www.prudential.

Economy, Nature And Fashion Influences
(ARA) - What's in store fun when decorating their Satin and Forest Hill,
for home decorating in homes. So, many of the Ancestry
2(K)9? No matter what your bolder and brighter clothing Connecting with roots
taste, you'll find a hue in and fashion accessory colors and heritage, the Ancestry

Color Influencers
Looking tt) 2(X)9, color
experts are seeing three top
drivers of ct)lor trends - the
economy, nature and fash-
ion.
"It's not surprismg that
the primary driver of our
2(){)9 color forecast is the
economy." says Donna
Schroeder. Dutch Boy color
marketing and design man
ager. "During an economic
slowdown, consumers tradi-
tionally become more con-
servative when decorating,
oftentimes shifting to neutral
colors when painting. How-
ever, even v\ith the slower
economy, we still expect to
see the use of brighter paint
colors as accents to the al-
ways-popular neutrals."
In addition to the econ-
omy's influence on con-
sumer color choices, the
mainstreaming of the green
movement is creating a re-
newed consciousness and
sensitivity to the environ-
ment. The focus on bringing
the outdoors into the home
has once again made its wa>
into the color forecast. The
desire to incorporate ba-
sic elements of nature into
interior design is still very
prevalent.
In contrast to the two
more serious drivers, the
economy and nature, con-
sumers still want to have
reflected in the forecast.

Protecting Your Family
From Indoor Mold
(.NAPSl-Clearing the air
yt)ur family breathes could
be a matter of controlling
moisture inside the home.
According to the Nation-
al Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS).
indoor mold can grow on
almost any surface, and the
spores that are released b\
mold can cause everything
fri)m blurred vision and
chronic cough to skin rash,
sore throat and sinus con-
gestion.
A Yale I'niversitv studs
has concluded that mold ex-
posure during the first years
of life may even increase the
risk of asthma.
An excess of moisture in
the home can also lead to
cracked paint, peeling wall-
paper and moisture bubbles
on the surface of walls.

Winter home care
Now that you've been in
your home for st)me of the
cold months f)f winter, its a
gcxxj tirne to do a house
check. It's easier to tell dur
ing cold weather where you
might have air leaks or need
more insulation
• Give your home the bare-
fcx)l test. Walk the rooms
and check for dratts down on
the floor under windows, at
the exterior dcwrs and near
the fireplace
• While it's likely too cold
to apply exterior caulking to
window trim, clean plastic
sheeting (the kind you
shrink with a hair dryer) can
be installed on the inside of
windows. (Hint: Don't trim
to size until after you've
used the hairdryer )
• Even wall plug\ and
switch plates on exterior
walls can be sources of air
leaks. Investigate weather-
strip insulation pads to seal
out cold air. Add childproof -
ing plastic inserts for plugs
that aren't being used,
• If you liave a basement
that's unhealed, insulate the
pipes with jacketing or
install heat tape to keep
pipes from freezmg. (Be
careful not to cross the tape
back over itself, as this will
cause a fire.) If vou have
plastic pipes, ask for home-
improvement advice, as
you'll likely need the type
with an automatic thermo-
stat to keep from melting the
pipes.
• Have you checked yoi.r
furnace filter.' With the fur-
nace running so often during
cold weather, changing the
filter once a month can keep
indcKjr air cleaner as well as
reduce wear and tear on the
furnace motor
• If you have an attic, check
the inside of the plywcxxi
and rafters for leaks or wet
spots. Use a flashlight to
check around chimneys If
yours is an older home, it's
not tcK) late to save money
this winter by putting down
another layer of insulation
• I>)nt Ignore the outside
of the house. You could face
costly repairs in the spring if
v-ater is flowing toward the
foundation Check down-
sfKjuts where they einptv at
the hott(>m and divert wkater
with splash blocks Che».k
gutters for leaks
• If you have a garage,
check for leaks under the

January Is Radon Awareness Month
Did you know that expo-
sure to radon is the second
leading cause of lung cancer
after smoking?
Is your house safe?
Now is the time to
check.
January is National Ra-
don Action Month and the
American Lung Association
has partnered with the Mas-
sachusetts Department of
Pubic Health to encourage
state residents to test their
homes and to educate them
about the dangers of radon.
According to the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agen-
cy, radon exposure accounts
for 7, 000 to 30,000 deaths
annually. One in 15 homes
has levels the EPA considers
unhealthy.
Radon is a naturally oc-
curring radioactive gas that
is invisible and odorless. It
can enter your home through
holes and cracks in the base-
ment floor or from well wa-
ter. Prolonged exposure to
radon can cau.se lung cancer.
Radon is the second leading
cause of lung cancer. The
t)nly way to know if your
home has a radon problem
is to perform a simple test.

NORTH'S Tim Stille (#24) looks to score against Quincy's Victor Otoadese (#24) and John
Parry (»35).
Another QHS Record
Scott's 53 Points Powers
Presidents Past Raiders
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
and the North Quincy Red
Raiders squared off last Fri-
day night at NQHS in the
first of two meetings this
season between the two high
schools; round one went to
the Quincy Presidents and
senior guard Doug Scott -
81-68.
Scott, who was recog-
nized before the game for
breaking the Quincy High
School all-time scoring re-
cord held previously by
Bonnie Hirtle (1,348 points,
a 2004 graduate of QHS)
three days earlier in a Patri-
ot League loss to Hingham
High School after scoring
30 points to reach the 1 ,355
point plateau, had quite an
encore performance against
the Red Raiders.
Not only did he lead his
team to its third win of the
season, and in the process

helped the Presidents beat
the Red Raiders for the first
time since the 2006-07 sea-
son, he dropped 53 points
on North Quincy, breaking
yet another QHS record in
doing so.
He finished the game
with 15 field goals, includ-
ing three 3-pointers, and
was 20-of-25 from the free
throw line. Scott reached the
50-point mark with just un-
der a minute to go in what
had been a tightly contested
ballgame at halftime.
Quincy (3-3 overall, 2-3
in the Patriot League) and
North Quincy (1-5 overall,
0-4 in the Patriot League)
battled throughout the first
half, alternating leads and
momentum. The game had
all the fixings of being a
barnburner and at the half-
time break the Presidents
and Scott (28 first half
points) held a slim 39-38
lead.
The two teams opened
the second half by alternat-
ing baskets. NQ's Tim Stille
(21 points) tied the score at
43-43 early into the third
quarter, but the Raiders
could not find an answer for
stopping Scott.
With the score knot-
ted at 43-43, Scott put his
team on his shoulders by
scoring nine straight points
in an 11-0 Quincy scoring
run. When North Quincy
finally stopped the Piesi-
dents' streak their lead had
ballooned to 54-43. Quincy
outscored North by a 22-6
margin in the third quarter
and extended a one-point
halftime lead to a 17-point
advantage (61-44) entering
QHS' DOIK; SCOTT was recognized before the QHS-NQHS boys basketball game for break-
ing the QHS' scoring record of 1348 points, previously held by Bonnie Hirtle, after going for
30 points against Hingham HS on Jan. 7. Scott, pictured here with his mother, Lynn, and his
father, George, currently has M08 career points. Quincy Sun photo/lMrry Carchedi
1,408 Career Points; 125 Shy Of City Record
Quincy's Doug Scott Now
School's AU-Time Scorer
Quincy High School se-
nior guard Doug Scott be-
came the school's all-time
leading scorer, for both
the boys and girls basket-
ball programs, when he
scored 30 points in a Pa-
triot League game against
Hingham High School on
Jan. 7.
Scott passed Bonnie
Hirtle, a 2004 graduate of
QHS, who had held the
scoring record for the past
four seasons at 1,348 ca-
reer points.
Scott, who was honored
by both QHS and NQHS in
a pregame ceremony last
Friday night at the NQHS
iGymnasium, finished the
Hingham game with 1355
career points. But a week of
smashing QHS basketball
records was just beginning
for Scott.
In last Friday's show-
down against the Raiders,
Scott scored 53 points to
break the all-time individual
game school scoring record.
His 53 points helped to lead
Quincy to an 8 1 -68 win over
North Quincy.
The QHS records may
be Scott's and Scott's alone,
but he does have one more
elusive city scoring record
within his reach.
With his 53 points last
Friday, Scott now has 1 ,408
career points. He is currently
125 points away from Sar-
ah Stanton's (2004 NQHS
graduate) city-record of
1,533 career points. Scott
is averaging almost 31
points per game this sea-
son and with more than
half the season's schedule
yet to be played he should
pass Stanton sometime
later this month.
"He is absolutely the
most unselfish player 1
have coached." said QHS
head coach David Parry.
"All he wants to do is win.
Of course he is a terrific
pure scorer, but he is also
a fantastic defender. He is
a joy to coach "
the final eight minutes of
play.
"The game came down
to that third quarter," said
Quincy head coach David
Parry. "We had a team talk
at halftime because we were
not happy with the way we
were playing defense. In
the third quarter, we played
shutdown defense.
"Holding a team as good
as North Quincy to just six
points in a quarter was as
important as the 1 1 -0 run
we went on. We knew that
North would not go away in

North Quincy Wins Third Straight, Improves To 7-1 Overall
Carnell (28 Points) Paces Raiders Over Quincy
By SEAN BRENNAN
On a night when the
North Quincy Red Raiders
girls" basketball team hon-
ored its seniors, it was one
senior, in partituiar, wht)
stole the show.
Siobhan Carnell dropped
28 points on the Quincy
Presidents, including 15
points in the third quarter, to
lead her team to a 62-40 vic-
tory over QHS last lrida\
evenmg at NQHS.
The win, the Raiders third
straight, upped the team's
record to 7- 1 o\ crall and 4- 1
in Patriot League play. With
the loss, the Presidents fell
to 0-7 overall.
The contest, the first
of two games between the
city's high schools last Fri-
day (the boys played imme-
diately after the girls), was
played in front of a capacity
crowd at NQHS. The Raid-
ers, feeding off the emotion
of the pregame ceremonies
honoring the team's nine
seniors, jumped out to an
early 14-3 first quarter lead.
Carnell got things started for
NQ in that quarter with nine
points.
The Presidents would
not record a basket until
the four-minute mark when
junior Colleen Tobin made
one-of-two free throws.
In the second quarter,
Carnell (4 pts.) and fellow
seniors Catherine O'Connell
(4 pts.), Julie Lynch (2 pts.)
and Jessie Hewlett ( 1 pt.)
and sophomore Montana
McBimey (2 pts.) pushed
the Red Raiders' advantage
to27-15at halftime.
After a sloppy first quar-
ter, the Presidents, behind
the play of senior Leslie
Campbell (team-high 10
points), junior Olivia Berry,
BASKETBALL
North Quincy - 62
Quincy - 40
sophomore Kori Sorensen
and freshman Juli Tomer
responded with a competi-
tive second quarter. The
Presidents got as close as
10 points in the quarter but
could never break into the
single digits. Quincy would
nt)t get any closer the rest ot
the game.
"My team has a lot of
heart. They are young and
inexperienced but we play
with a lot of heart," said
Quincy coach Jeff Bretsch.
"Down 15, 20 points they
press like there is no tomor-
row and work hard on the
boards. They never hang
their heads and that's all you
can ask for."
Ahead entering the sec-
ond half, the Raiders, and
especially Carnell, took it
to Quincy after the break.
Carnell opened the quarter
by scoring on six straight
drives to the hoop; includ-
ed in this scoring run were
multiple running layups and
one three-point play. Carnell
oulscored Quincy 15-14 in
the quarter and helped push
her team's lead to 48-30
with eight minutes to play.
The Presidents did re-
ceive contributions from
Sorensen (3 pts). Berry
(4 pts.). Tobin (3 pts.) and
Campbell (2 pts.) in the third
quarter, but had no answer
for the shifty Carnell.
The Raiders got six
points from senior Kristina
Anderson in the fourth quar-
ter, outscoring Quincy 14-
10 and finishing the game
on a 6-0 run. When the final
whistle blew. North Quincy
had secured its seventh win
in eight games.
Carnell (2X points. 4
steals). 0"Connell (10
points. 6 rebounds) and
Anderson (6 points. 5 re-
bounds) were the top stars
for the Raiders.

Presidents Past Raiders
Cont'd From Page 18
Coach Barrett has his team
focused and playing disci-
pline basketball. They never
quit. It was a good win."
Scott, after missing three
straight free throws late in
the fourth quarter, reached
the 50-point mark with un-
der a minute left. But ac-
cording to Parry, his offense
is complimented by his de-
fense and unselfish play.
"He scored 5? points
but if you asked him, he
would say it doesn't mater
how many points he scores
as long as his team gets the
win," added Parry. "He has
a total game. He is so solid
on defense, finishing with
six steals against North, and
he dishes the ball so well (10
assists in the game) and gets
his teammates open shots.
"1 didn't expect him to
score 53 points. But he is a
very special player. He ei-
ther scored or assisted on
75 of our 8 1 points against
North Quincy."
Scott may have finished
with a school-record 53
points, but he was not alone
in helping the Presidents
snap a two-game losing
streak.
Fellow seniors Anthony
Raddatz (12 pts.) and John
Parry, along with junior
Robbie Bina. showed up to
play against North.
"Scott may be our true
scorer, but against North we
had guys who played great
games." said Parry. "Antho-
ny Raddatz and John Parry
played solid defensively
early in the game. John
took three charging calls in
the first half and Anthony
was great. The two of them
effectively shutdown the
lane in the second half and
forced North to work for
their shots.
"Robbie was playing in
his first varsity game (fill-
ing in for an injured Kenny
Nguyen) and he did a solid
job defending their point
guard. He turned it up a
notch on defense. With
Kenny coming back soon,
the emergence of Bina re-
ally opens up some depth on
defense."
With a big win over city
rival North Quincy, the
Presidents not only stopped
a losing skid, they may have
also gotten back on track.
Not to say the team is not
working hard to get better,
but the win should have a
ripple effect on the rest of
season .
"We enjoyed the win
over North, but we held a
three-hour practice on Sun-
day to get ready for Pem-
broke HS (Tuesday night)."'
said Parry. "This city is so
close and everyone knows
everyone, so losing to NQ
three times last year hurt.
Winning feels great but the
season is not over. I am sure
the next time we play them
they will be ready."
Notes; NQ's Tim Stille
(21 pts.) and RJ Barden (14
pts.) led all Raider scorers. . .

Year to be cautious and edu-
cated consumers by domg
their homework at bbb.org.
For those who pledge to
start exercising more or who
are looking for love, BBB
offers these helpful tips:
Joining a gym?
Determine your fitness
goals. What are your fitness
goals (build endurance, in-
crease strength, become a
belter tennis player?) and
how will you accomplish
them (swimming, weight-
training, yoga'.'). If you have
a serious health condition,
consult with a medical pro-
fessional when setting your
fitness goals.
Consider your budget.
What monthly amount can
you comfortably devote to
physical fitness'.'
Shop around. Ask friends
and coworkers to recom-
mend facilities and pick
three that appear to align
with your fitness goals and
budget.
Check out the facilities.
Visit each club on a day and
time that you plan to use it
to see how crowded it is.
Is it conveniently located.'
Do you like the equipment,
classes, amenities (child
care, personal trainers) and
hours of operation' Are you
comfortable with the atmos-
phere and ciienlele'.' Note
the cleanliness and condi-
tion of the equipment, work-
out area and locker room, as
well as staff member a\aila-
bility.
Talk to members. Are
they satisfied' Have they
experienced an) problems'.'
Interview staff. Are staff
members friendly and hel-
pful' Ask about their qua-
lifications, certification and
education.
Review the contract.
Walk away from clubs that
pressure you to sign on the
spot. In fact, take a sample
contract home to read it tho-
roughly. Does It list all ser-
vices and facilities and the
hours of operation'.' Is eve-
rything that the salesperson
promised in the contract'
What is included in the
monthly fee and what's ex-
tra' What's the total cost
and payment schedule, in-
cluding enrollment fees and
finance charges'.'
Membership details.
How long is the membership
term'.' Can you go month-to-
month'.' Some facilities give
customers several days to
reconsider after signing the
contract; if so, cet it in wri
ting.
Cancellation policv
What are jour cancellation
rights if N ou move av\ a) . are
injured, or the club closes'
Will the unused portion of
your membership be refun-
ded' rhi)se details should
be in the contract
Finally, find t)ut if the
club meets state bonding
and licensing requirements
And. always check with the
BBB for a report on the faci-
lity before making a purcha-
sing decision.
Looking for lo\e on-
line?
Don't fall in love with
the advertising. Beware of
claims such as. an exclusive
network of people, for sin-
cere daters onl>. and beau-
tiful singles just like you

vided a decision in a case

ces, requiring one to stop

were based on 'the latest

Make 50-Plus The Best Years Of Your Life
(ARA) - You're getting
older, it's true. But it's how
you get older that matters.
Being afraid of it is like be-
ing afraid of getting more
channels on your TV: It can
be a little disorienting at first
(do I watch ESPN 1 , ESPN
2 or ESPN 3?), but all the
new choices offer a great
opportunity for exploration.
Here are five ideas for
getting started:
1. Improve your golf
swing.
There's no reason that
enjoying the great outdoors
can't wrap up with a steak
and martini at the 19th hole.
But just so your swing is not
mistaken for a mild seizure
you might want to work the
kinks out of your game.
"Three components are
a must: strength, endurance
and flexibility, especially
flexibility," says Stacey Ca-
macho, golf pro at Mountain
Dell Golf Course outside
Park City, Utah. "Stretch-
ing, yoga or other fitness ex-
ercises help to increase your
flexibility, improve your
control and boost awareness
of your surroundings on the
course."
2. Become the master of
the grill.
Now is a perfect time to
try your hand at mastering
that signature grilling recipe
you've been working on,
without sacrificing flavor or
your arteries.
As celebrity chef Bobby
Flay notes, just brush on
a little t)live oil. sprinkle a
little salt and pepper, and
grill away. This will allow
the natural flavor of the food
to come through.
Sharpening your bar-
becuing skills may also be
just the reason you've been
looking for to get that new
grill. You know the one.
3. Keep your relation-
ship going strong.
Make the most of your
relationship. In fact, why not
make the most of it as often
as possible, in every room
of the house, if you get our
meaning, it's achievable.
"As men get older, they
often experience changes in
their overall health, causing
their sexual health and per-
formance to suffer. Issues
may arise simply because of
age or weight gain, or bad
habits may be catching up
with them." .says Dr. Marcus
Laux. a naturopathic physi-
cian and health science advi-
sor to LIFE SPAN labs. "Af-
ter 50. a safe, natural sexual
health supplement like the
botanically based 112 De-
grees, combined with some
simple lifestyle changes,
can be a very effective way
to enhance sexual perfor-
mance."
4. Turn yourself into a
beer connoisseur.
Nothing goes quite so
well with your grilled mas-
terpiece than a cold beer.
But what kind of beer, that's
the question. The microbrew
revolution has introduced a
wide range of st)les, from
India pale ales to imperial
stouts to Belgian Iambics.
So spend a little qualit)
time with your local beer
seller. Sample a different
style each week. Do taste
tests to see which brewery
you like. To help preserve
the beer's taste, store it in a
cool, dark place at about 40
degrees F.
5. Relax the mind, body
and spirit. Go fishing.
Let's be honest, fishing
is not really about the fish.
If you ht)ok one. great, but
if you don't you've at least
caught a few hours with no
phones, no TV, no traffic.
It's just you, the quiet, and
whatever you've got stocked
in the RV fridge. It can also
be a great way to share time-
with family or friends, with-
out having to deal with their
kids.
Growing older is un-
avoidable, but isn't it the
second half of the game that
really matters'? So get out.
get fit and get busy explor-
ing the possibilities.

possibilities include heart

liver cirrhosi.s. medicines
and, sliangely enough, tlic
overuse of diuretics i water
pills!. One-sided ankle and
foot swelling has another lis!
of causes. The swelling gets
belter at night because when
you're in the h(>rizontal
position, fluid retum.s to the
circulation.
With hean failure, people
have cither symptoms
breathlessness v\hen they're
up and about. Often, they
awaken at night, panting for

Kidney disease is
detectable with a few simple

Liver cirrhosis can be con-

A BETTER SMILE
— .» J
When crooked, overlappng,
or chipped teeth detract from
a smile, rt may only take a few
subtle afteratons to the teetfi to
improve how tfie whole smile
looks. Tooth contounng and
reshaping are cosmetic tech-
niques that can make a big dif-
ference while only requinng a
single visrt to the dentist. With a
few deft touches, the dentst can
change the shape, lerigth. or
position of teeth with minimal (if
any) discomfort to tfTe patient. A
sanding drill or laser may be uti-
lized to remove small amounts
of surface enamel gradually,
after which abrasive stnps are
slid back and forth between te
teeth to shape their surfaces.
Finally, teeth are smoothed and
pdistied to yieW tf»e final results
With a little dental contounng,
you can make a huge difference
in ttie way you feel about your
smile. Good cosmetic dentistry
can give you a smile that is
the envy of otfiers We stress
good oral hygiene and preven-
tive dentistry for the wtx)le fam-
ily. The recommendations we
make are always in the t)est
interest of our patients Patient
education and awareness are
keys to prevention and earty

DON McCarthy
Managing Director
Perhaps it would be wise if everyone of
us examined our basic philosophy of life
once in a while and asked ourselves how
sound it is. If it is based on self or selfish-
ness, it is unsound. If it is based on good
will, helpfulness , kindness , right living , and
good works, it is sound.
Legend says that on one occasion General
Robert E. Lee came suddenly upon one of
his young officers gazing at himself in the
mirror with obvious pleasure and admiration. "You must be the
happiest man in the world," said Lee. "Why do you say that. Sir?",
asked the soldier. "Because you are in love with yourself, and have
no rival in your affection," replied Lee.
We do not known if this story is true, but it reflects a truth.
The surest way to lose the love of others is to devote all our love
to ourself. And the more intense our self-affections becomes, the
surer we can be that no one else will share it. But unfortunately
for humanity, the reverse process is equally true. Unselfish affec-
tion for others inevitably draws affection in return. The man who
can forget himself in his interest in the welfare of others is safe in
forgetting himself, for others will not forget him. Love for others
is the key to human happiness that is within the reach of all. It
does not depend upon riches, no education, nor power, nor social
position. It relies within the grasp of anyone who, in the midst of
others, will hold out to them the hand olT love and fellowship.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Romantic aspects are
high at this time for single
Lambs looking for love.
Warm and fuzzy feelings are
also at enhanced levels for
Rams and Ewes in paired
relationships.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) This week favors what
Taureans dote on — namely,
love and money. Look for
more meaningful relation-
ships for both singles and
pairs, as well as an improved
financial outlook.
GEMINI(May21 to June
20) All lingering shreds of
that recent bout with bore-
dom are dissipated as you
eagerly accept a challenging
offer. Your positive mood
f>ersuades others to join you
in this venture.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) You might need valida-
tion for a possible solution to
a situation involving some-
one close to you. Consider
asking a trusted friend or rel-
ative to help you with this
problem.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Investigate carefully
before agreeing to assist a
friend or colleague with a
personal problem. There
might be hidden factors that
could emerge later that will
create problems for you.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Your decision
to work with an associate
rather than go it alone, as you
first proposed, brings an
unexpected bonus. Be care-
ful not to be judgmental.
Allow for free and open dis-
cussion.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A loved one's
health problem could, once
again, make demands on
your time and attention. But
this time, make some
demands of your own, and
insist that others pitch in and
help.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) This is a good
time for the traditionally
staid Scorpion to plan
adjustments in your day-to-
day schedules. Be more flex-
ible and allow for more
impromptu, off-the-cuff
actions.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Avoid creating unnecessary
fuss over a situation you
don't approve of. If it's
going to work, it will do so
despite your objections. If it
fails, it will do so without a
push from you.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Working
with a trusted colleague
could open your mind to
exploring some considera-
tions you previously dis-
missed out of hand. The
weekend brings news from a
loved one.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Resolving a
recent problem leaves you in
a good position to strengthen
your influence on how things
get done. But continue to
encourage ideas and sugges-
tions from others.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) A new friend sug-
gests an interesting opportu-
nity. But check it out before
you snap at it. It might be a
good deal for some people,
but it might not work in help-
ing you reach your goals.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of helping people
solve their problems, mak-
ing you a most-respected
counselor and trusted friend.

60's Dress A Hit At
Neighborhood Club Party
Nearing the century
mark in age, the vener-
able Neighborhood Club of
Quincy recently took a nos-
talgic look back at the 1960s
with a party featuring the
dress of the period 40 years
ago.
Peter and Patricia
Donadio won the prize for
the best costume, wearing
the look of bikers in black
leather jackets and chains.
The Neighborhood Club
was established in 1916
as a social gathering place
and has since fulfilled that
promise by settling in as a
good neighbor in the quiet
President's Hill section of
Quincy.
'60S ATTIRE was worn by, left to right, Ralph Nardone, A. Richard Ferzoco and Paula and Vin
Santosuosso at the Neighborhood Club.

Security Breach Shuts Gates
Quincy Democrats At Obama
Inaugural But Not Close Enough
By TOM HENSHAW
A trio of Democrats from
Quincy got an up close and
personal view of the inaugu-
ration of President Barack
Obama Tuesday — well, al-
most.
Ward 5 City Councillor
Doug Gutro, former Ward
6 Councillor Alicia Gardner
and Norfolk County
Register of Probate Patrick
McDermott had seat tick-
ets but were shut out at the
gate.
"We got there about 7:30
a.m.," said McDermott,
"and we waited for hours.
But there was a security
breach right in front of
us. Somebody sneaked in
through our gate and they
shut it down.
"We ended up watching
the inaugural from Senator
Kennedy's office. He re-
served a room in his build-
ing and we watched the in-
auguration from indoors.
"We were told there were
about 10.000 who were un-
able to get in. One whole
section of the stands was va-
cant."
A fourth member of the
Quincy delegation, Nancy
Noble of Harwich, former
secretary to Mayor Arthur
Tobin, managed to get in
on a ticket that seated her
with Congressman William
Delahunt's staff.
Failure to view the cer-
emonies in person didn't re-
ally matter to McDermott.
"Just to be in Washington
on such a day was quite an
experience," he said. "The
smiles on people's faces.
It was exciting. We were CHILLY RECEPTION. Ward 5 City Councillor Doug (lutro

Strong Support

Cont 'd From Page I
"We want to make sure
Quincy is in the queue"
Koch said of the city's pub-
lic works proposals deliv-
ered to Murray on Jan. 15.
"Working together is so
important," said Delahunt
of the need for federal, state
and local agencies to plan
together.
"We're working with the
governor's office to discuss
benchmarks," Delahunt
said, noting that funds will
be dispersed first to "those
areas prepared to be 'shovel
ready.'"
Koch said the admin-
istration is grateful for
Delahunt 's support.
"This kind of economic
activity is going to stimu-
late the private sector," said
Delahunt.
"We built highways,
bridges and hospitals (in
Iraq) ," said Delahunt who es-
timated the cost to American
taxpayers for those projects
at $1 trillion dollars. He said
it's time to hone in on this
country's infrastructure.
In his discussion,
Delahunt focused on specif-
ic areas of interest, such as
Quincy Center development.
Quincy Medical Center and
the waterfront.
Downtown Development
"Its time has come," said
Delahunt who recalled that
Quincy Center revitalization
was on the agenda when he
served as a city councillor in
the I970's.
"The mayor has a plan
for downtown (designed to)
save and create jobs," said
Delahunt, adding, "At the
right time, he's going to (un-
veil) his plans."
Quincy Medical Center
"We have a great hospi-
tal here. It's the city's largest
employer," said Delahunt,
citing the need for accessi-
ble high quality health care
and jobs for residents.
"The mayor has indi-
cated the health of Quincy
Medical Center is important
to the health of the city."
Waterfront development
"There will be money to
make the City of Quincy a
'Gateway'" city for tourism
and the 'Cultural Coast from
Salem to Provincetown.
Delahunt believes the
waterfront project will in-
crease tourism and private
investments.
Last September and
October, Delahunt voted
against stimulus packages
prepared during the Bush
Administration, charging
there was no oversight or
transparency in the original
bills aimed at bailing out fi-
nancial institutions.
The current proposals
include oversight and clear
lines intended to safeguard
government spending, ac-
cording to Delahunt.
"We've dug ourselves
into this hole. There's go-
ing to be a lot of pain to go
around."
"I feel confident we can
meet the challenges," said
Delahunt, adding there will
be difficult times ahead,
considering the debt of $1 1
trillion that's been left .by
the past administration.
Delahunt and most
Democrats fully expect the
stimulus package to pass
Congress immediately.
While majorities in the
Senate and the House sup-
port different approaches to
an economic recovery plan,
few doubt a plan will pass.
An ERA is President
Barack Obama's first pri-
ority and Congress has a
Democratic majority.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Speaker:
Recruit Young People
For 'Incredible
Challenges' Ahead
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Boston University Dean
Kenneth Elmore, keynote
speaker at the city's Martin
Luther King breakfast
Monday, urged the city's
Human Rights Commission
to recruit young people for
the "incredible challenges"
ahead.
In his address, Elmore
repeated the theme, "The
world is different today," al-
luding to the imminent inau-
guration of President Barack
Obama, the country's first
black president, and attribut-
ing Obama's success to the
impact of America's youth.
Following his speech,
Elmore received a stand-
ing ovation from the more
than 250 persons attending
the event, the 13th Annual
Martin Luther King. Jr.
Breakfast Celebration at
North Quincy High School.
Quincy's Human Rights
Commission headed by
Ann Yeomans, Chairperson,
sponsors the annual event
Rev. David Hefling,
Rector, St. Chrysostom's
Episcopal Church offered
the interfaith blessing which
was translated by Eric Ling
of the Episcopal Chine
Center.
Obama's election was
fueled by the enthusiasm
of "young people who fi-
nally said, 'Let's be part
of the system again,'" said
Elmore.
Elmore recalled the ef-
fectiveness of the youth fac-
tor in Martin Luther King's
movement when young peo-

"(They) needed someone
to step up and give them
a sense of purpose," said
Elmore, adding, "We must
give them the challenges
they need today."
Elmore cited such civil
rights milestones as the
1954 Supreme Court deci-
sion in the Brown case and
the civil rights and the vot-
ing rights legislation in the
mid-1960's as the founda-
tion for Obama's victory.

change, Elmore who is black
said, "1 certainly wouldn't
be here today and neither
would Barack Obama."
Elmore traced such
changes inspired by King
to a massive citizens' move-
ment fueled by the energy of
youth.
Dr. King proposed the vi-
sion, "You can be great right
now," and brought people
together and gave young
people a sense of purpose
and destiny, according to
Elmore,
"The fruits of Dr. King's
labor will pay true dividends
in the mauguration of Barack
Obama," said Elmore.
Elmore outlined such
urgent issues as poverty,
health care and international
disputes facing President
Barack Obama from his first
day in office and said Obama
will need all the help he can
get and involving young
people is essential for suc-
cess.

• On Jan. 25, 1905, at the
Premier Mine near Pretoria,
South Africa, a 3,106-carat
diamond is discovered dur-
ing a routine inspection by
the mine's superintendent.
Weighing 1.33 pounds and
christened the "Cullinan," it
was the largest diamond ever
found.
• On Jan. 22, 1912, Florida
East Coast Railroad opened,
running between Key West
and the mainland. The rail-
road closed in 1935. Three
years later, the roadway was
paved, bringing automotive
traffic to the Florida Keys for
the first time.
• On Jan. 23, 1922, at
Toronto General Hospital,
14- year-old Canadian
Leonard Thompson
becomes the first person to
receive an insulin injection

tfried Krueger Brewing
Company delivered 2,000

ed termi if the president
already served more than
two years of another presi-
dent's elected term.

Remembering JFK's Inaugural
The inauguration of President Barack Obama Tues-
day brought me back 48 years to Jan. 20, 1961 .
To frigid Washington and the inauguration of John
F. Kennedy and the fond memories still fresh today.
The sub-freezing 22-degree temperature, snow and
bitter winds kept the crowd at an estimated million-
many who didn't arrive until later in the day as the
temperature rose a bit.
But only some 20,000 reportedly actually saw JFK
take his oath of office.
Four of us were lucky to be among those 20,000:
then Quincy City Clerk John Gillis, his wife, Vi, my
wife, Dorothy, and myself.
There were others from Quincy there. Among them
Dick Koch, Kennedy's Quincy campaign coordinator
and his wife, Simone.
Dick was close to Kennedy, who became an honor-
ary member of the Koch Club. He had a disdain for
hats but Dick treasured a photo of him smiling and
wearing a Koch Club baseball cap.
John and I were there with our wives thanks to Con-
gressman Jim Burke who provided four tickets. Two
sets of two in different locations.
It was frigid cold. Nearly eight inches of snow had
fallen overnight and we sat there, bundled up and with
our feet in it.
But no one seemed to mind. This was history and
we were there, witnessing it. The thrill of a Massa-
chusetts native son raising his right hand to become
President of the United States.
We stayed at the Howard Johnson Motel in Spring-
field, VA, outside Washington. The night before the
inaugural, Jim Burke called to invite us to the Gala
headed by Frank Sinatra. Because of the weather there
were extra tickets suddenly available.
"Come on in," he said.
We nudged to the edge of the highway and didn't
move an inch. All you could see ahead were red tail-
lights on stalled cars as far as you could see. They re-
ally didn't know how to cope with snow back then. We
went back to the motel to watch it on TV.
Kennedy was sworn in by Chief Justice Earl War-
ren, the 35^^ and at age 43, the youngest ever elected
President.
Cardinal Richard Cushing gave the invocation.
Marian Anderson sang the National Anthem.
Poet Robert Frost was reading one of his poems and
bothered by the bright sun. Lyndon Johnson, who had
just taken office as the new vice president, leaned over
to shield him.
Among those on the platform were:
Outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower, then 70.
Departing Vice President Richard Nixon whom Ken-
nedy had defeated in one of the closest Presidential
elections. Nixon was among the first to shake hands
with Kennedy after he took his oath and former Presi-
dent Harry Truman.
The Kennedy family was there, including the rarely
seen Joseph P. Kennedy, the President's father. Am-
bassador to England under Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
He and JFK arrived wearing toppers but soon discard-
ed them.
And, of course, there was the co-star of the day:
Jacqueline Kennedy, looking radiantly beautiful. She
was, the press described, as wearing an olive fitted
suit, simple beige coat with a fur collar and pillbox hat.
That pillbox was a hat. She would become the style
setter for women across America.
There were Hollywood celebrities there, too. When
John and Vi rejoined us after the inaugural Vi was
JOHN F. KENNEDY is sworn in as the youngest President by
Chief Justice Earl Warren, Jan. 20, 196L Among those looking
on are Jacqueline Kennedy, former President Dwight Eisen-
hower, new Vice President Lyndon Johnson and outgoing Vice

tion.
AND DELIVERS HIS stirring Inaugural Address.
beaming: "Guess who we sat next to - Gene Kelly."
(The popular movie star and dancer was one of the
headliners at the Gala.)
"I gave you the wrong tickets," I told her.
JFK and Obama share historic Presidential "firsts."
Kennedy, the first Roman Catholic elected president
and Obama the first African American.
Kennedy inspired people-esf>ecially the young and
instilled confidence in the country-in his election cam-
paign and his three short years in the White House.
Obama did; too, on the campaign trail-and hope-
fully will while he is the new occupant of the White
House.
Kennedy, it was reported, got right to work shortly
after taking his oath. He stepped into a Senate office
to sign the official nomination papers of his 10 cabinet
members.
And sent a message to the White House staff to be
there at 8:45 a.m. the next morning.
Obama is eager to get to work. And has a lot of it
ahead of him. Challenges! Challenges! Challenges!
And campaign promises to keep.
JFK's stirring words in his Inaugural Address still
ring out today:
"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to
friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to
a new generation.
"And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your
country can do for you, ask what you can do for your
country."
The torch is now in the hands of Barack Obama, age
47, 44'* President.
May he hold it high.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1909 postcard showing the back of St. Mary's
Church on Crescent Street in West Quincy. This view is
from what is now Fr. McMahon Drive. The basement
portion of the church as shown here was built in 1901;
Archbishop Williams laid the cornerstone. The top of
the church was added in 1917. In the left background is
the original church building built in 1841. It was built
for the Irish immigrants who came here to work in the
granite quarries. It was dedicated by Bishop Fenwick
as the first Catholic Church south of Boston and served
people as far as south as Plymouth. Later known as St.
Joseph's Hall that building has been long gone. In the
left foreground is a corner of St. Mary's Cemetery. To

Senior Center And Track Community Ignored
On Nov. 13. 2007. a
meeting 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 common
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 exercise and planned
events.
It is now obvious that
what the seniors wanted was
not what the Mayor wanted.
No other meetings with the
seniors for the purpose of
discussing location and what
the Senior Center would of-
fer was ever held. So much
for community involve-
ment: instead it was fast for-
ward to the Myles Standi sh
School on East Squantum
Street.
Tom Clasby, Director
of Elder Services, said in
August 2008, "the building
(Myles Standi sh School) is
in good shape. We will be
open by Thanksgiving."
On January 12, 2009. Mr
Clasby and other city offi-
cials reported that the build-
ing needed new plumbing
and sewerage work, new
electrical systems, new
windows, new fire alarm
system, new flooring, paint-
ing, drywall, handicap ac-
cessible work to meet codes
and standards, asbestos re-
moval work and new paving
of the parking area, etc., etc.
That is poor planning! All
of this to avoid any building
or remodeling at Pageant
Field where the majority of
the citizens of Quincy want
to Senior Center and track.
This is poor government!
If anyone wants to con-
tact me regarding this arti-
cle, I will be at Castle Island
with the rest of Quincy s
active seniors complaining
about my $720 tax increase.
Walter Monahan
Quincy Senior
(Editor's note: Mr. Mo-
nahan says he was misquot-
ed in an article regarding
the Senior Center in last
week's Quincy Sun. "/ did
not say I wanted a heated
inside track. What I want is
the surface at the outdoor
track heated for year round
use.")
Remembering Lt. Kevin Kelley
On Friday afternoon,
January 9, 1 passed a TV at
work showing images of a
crash scene involving a Bos-
ton Fire ladder truck. The
picture looked awful. Then,
I saw that it was Ladder 26,
the "Huntington Express"
next to Wentworth.
I know many of the guys
there including Lt. Kevin
Kelley, who I have known
for almost 20 years. He was
a great guy, a great fire-
fighter and a "camera ham,"
which he showed the whole
country a few years back on
the Discovery Chanel on
"Firehouse USA Boston,"
featuring firefighters from
Ladder 26 and Engine 37.
He seemed to love the cam-
era like a moth to the flame.
Being a firefighter, that anal-
ogy seemed quite appropri-
ate.
The both of us talked
about retirement with the
emphasis on "talk." He
wasn't planning on retire-
ment. Neither was 1. We
loved doing what we did.
He was a firefighter right fo
the end. He often wondered
how 1 could spend 36 years
with mental health. 1 won-
dered how he could still run
into flames all the time.
1 will miss him.

Furor Over
Lunch Issue At
Snug Harbor School
By FRANK McCAULEV
Mounting furor over the proposed hot lunch program tor
Snug Harbor Sch<H)l is expected to climax at a public hear-
ing before the Qumcy City Council's Finance Committee in
February.
■*At this time it is not p<^)ssible to
set an exact date." Finance Commit-
tee Chairman J. Vincent Sm\th said
"Ihere is some work to be done in
advance, but the hearing will be held
sometime in Februar> '" ^^^^^^^^^^^
Under the proposed program. 51 percent of the 720 stu-
dents at Snug Harbor would receive their lunches free
The 49 percent of the students who do not qualif> tor a
free lunch would pay 30 cents per meal.
When the request of the Sch(K)l Committee for a $36,000
appropnation for the purchase of equipment for the Snug
Harbor Lunch Program came up at the Council meeting, it
was referred to the CounciTs Finance Committee.
One school committee member said that the reaction of
people across the city to the lunch proposal was one of "pub-
lic outrage."

THE 21ST ANNUAL Quincy Lunar New Year Festival, featuring a variety of free and festive

6,000 Expected To Attend Celebration Feb. 8
Quincy Lunar New Year Festival
Welcomes The Year Of The Ox
The 21*^ Quincy Lu-
nar New Year Festival will
take place Sunday, Feb. 8 at
North Quincy High School
from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Last year's festival at-
tracted an audience of over
6,000, making it one of the
most popular and largest cel-
ebrations of the Lunar New
Year in Massachusetts.
Chinese New Year begins
Jan. 26 and is the most im-
portant holiday for Chinese
families as it is a time of
reunion and thanksgiving.
Each year is governed by
one of the twelve animals
of the Chinese Zodiac. Ac-
cording to the Zodiac, this
year is the Year of the Ox,
an animal known for being
dependable, calm, modest,
and for having an open and
honest nature.
"The 2009 festival will
mark not only the Year of
the Ox but also the commu-
nity 's 2 1 " year of celebrat-
ing our diversity, tradition,
and unity in Quincy," said
May Cheung, co-chairper-
son of the festival. "We
hope to build on the success
of our previous festivals
to bring together the com-
munity to celebrate and in-
crease awareness of Asian
cultures, and to better serve
the needs of Quincy 's Asian-
American Community."
Quincy Asian Resources
Inc. (QARI) invites every-
one of all ages and back-
grounds to celebrate this an-
nual Lunar New Year festival
with a variety of free and
festive programs including
the traditional lion dance,
an array of Asian food, and
traditional and modem per-
formances by musicians and
dance troupes. Additionally,
children are invited to enjoy
face-painting, games, crafts
and the popular Red Envel-
op ceremony at the end of
the day.
"This year's festival
promises to continue a
proud tradition in Quincy of
bringing together many seg-
ments of the community for
fun, food, and celebration
of Asian culture. The enor-
mous growth of this festival
over the years is a testament
not only to the dedication
and skills of the community
volunteers and sponsors; but
also to the tremendous pride
Quincy has in its diversity."
said festival Co-Chairper-
son Caroline Donohue.
The festival is supported
by Grand Sponsors, Com-
cast and State Street Bank
as well as many others.
Quincy Asian Resources
Inc. is a not for profit orga-
nization dedicated to pro-
moting the development of
the Asian-American com-
munity.

The book illustrates the
west side of the Los Angeles
fight world.
The New York Times
said of the book: "A satis-
fying, unexpectedly involv-
ing B-movie that owes as
much to old Hollywood as
to Greek tragedy. That may
sound like a perilous combi-
nation, but the film's visual
moderation, contained scale
and ambition keep it well
tethered. It's a fight film,
purely if not simply, which
of course also means it's
about the struggle to live."
It is rated PG for strong
language.
It is sponsored by the
Friends of the Thomas

Veterans Benefit Workshop
At Atria Marina Place
Local veterans and the
public are invited to attend
a free workshop focusing
on available benefits at 5:30
p.m., Monday. Jan. 26. at
Atria Marina Place, 4 Sea-
port Dr.Quincy.
The seminar will follow a
5:30 p.m. dinner for partici-
pants. Space is limited to 35
persons. Interested persons
must register by calling 617-
770-3264.
The workshop continues
Atria's commitment to in-
forming seniors of available
benefits, according to Beth
Klasskin, Public Relations
Coordinator for Atria Senior
Living Group.
"As part of our ongoing
commitment to making el-
dercare more affordable, we
are working to educate the
local community about the
availability of Aid and At-
tendance benefits for veter-
ans," said Klasskin.
According to the
L'nited States Department
of Veterans Affairs, about
one quarter of the nation's
population or approximately
70 million people are poten-
tially eligible for VA benefits
and services, because they

are veterans, family mem-
bers or survivors of veter-
ans.
During the workshop,
coordinators will review the
eligibility criteria and show
how thousands of families,
even in cases of higher net
worth, have become eligible
for the benefits which offset
the cost of care.
The Veterans Aid and
Attendance benefit, one of
the many benefits available
through the Veterans Ad-
ministration, offers eligible
veterans or their surviving
spouses a significant month-
ly pension, ranging from
$ 1 .056 to $ 1 .949 per month
tax-free.
To be eligible, veterans
must have served 90 con-
secutive days or more with a
least one day during a war-
time period (World War 11.
Korea, etc.) and meet medi-
cal and financial eligibility
criteria.

Golden Cake, Spice Cake With Oat Flour
Here are two recipes for cakes that my
mother always used and that 1 have been
baking for years. One is for golden cake and
the other is a raisin spice cake.
The only difference is that instead of using
white flour they are both made with oat flour
for those who are allergic to white flour as
some of our family members.
Oat flour can be purchased at the Good
Health store in Quincy Center and sometimes
in various supermarkets.
GOLDEN CAKE
11/4 cups sugar
1 stick of butter (or margarine) melted
2 3/4 cups oat flour
2 large eggs (unbeaten)
2/3 cup milk (Soy (Silk) milk can also be
used
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and sugar together until
blended. Place the flour, salt, baking powder
together in bowl.. Now alternately add the
dry ingredients with the milk and eggs and
beat for one minute. Add the vanilla and mix
for two minutes.
Bake in either two cake pans or one bak-
ing pan for 35 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the cake comes out clean.
Here is a recipe for spice cake that has no
milk or eggs, but it is truly so delicious, you
won't miss either one.. 1 have also used oat
flour for this cake also.
RAISIN SPICE CAKE
2 cups water
1 cup raisins
1 stick butter or margarine
1 3/4 cups oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup of copped walnuts (optional)
Boil the water and raisins together for
five minutes. Add the butter or margarine.
Let cool slightly and then add all the other
ingredients mixing it until well blended.
Pour into a greased baking dish of your
choice. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35
minutes. 1 usually use a pan that looks like
a large muffin fin with four baking pans al-
together in one pan, but any baking pan will
do.

"He (Obama) can't do
that by himself," Elmore
said, after asking why
the city's Human Rights
Commission doesn't have
12-year olds, 20-year-olds
and 40-year-oId members.
In his conclusion,
Elmore described his own
delight in an unexpected
and unplanned inaugu-
ral invitation that would
put him on a train to
Washington, D.C. that eve-
ning.
"We need to make sure
to celebrate," said Elmore
who said he had no hotel
reservations or expectation
of food anywhere.
It doesn't matter to
Elmore who said, "I can't
wait to soak up that atmo-
sphere,"
Elmore plans to tell his
grandchildren about the
event, buy a "nifty shirt
and awful souvenirs."
Elmore himself has bro-
ken ground himself, offer-
ing new programs as B.U.'s
Dean of Students, accord-
ing to Ward 3 Councillor
Kevin Coughlin who intro-
duced Elmore to Monday's
audience.
"He is without a doubt
the most innovated, acces-
sible and connected Dean
of Students of any univer-
sity in this nation, especial-
ly one with the dimension
of Boston University," said
Coughlin who described a
recent national award pre-
sented to Elmore.
Coughlin, alumni of
BU, also described King's
close ties with Boston
University where he stud-
ied and. where, in 1964,
he donated some 80,000
items.
The city's Human Right
Commission sponsors the
annual King tribute.
This year, the commis-
sion chose Kathy Quigley.
DirectoroftheGermantown
Neighborhood Center and
Attorney Tackey Chan,
community leader, for spe-
cial awards.
Senator Michael
Morrissey praised Quigley
and Chan as "two great
people." Morrissey noted
that Quigley 's tough job
is a year-round effort and
constant in the city's most
diverse neighborhood.
When introducing
Chan, Morrissey described
Chan's successful work at
the State House, district at-
torney's office and sheriff's
department and the need
for Chan's knowledge in a
changing city.
NQHS freshman
Samantha Tan sang several
solos for the event con-
cluding with a rendition of
"No Man Is An Island."
Youngsters from
the Germantown
Neighborhood Center
Chorus won enthusiastic
applause after their songs.

Koch Team Working
On Scaled Down Budget
Mayor Thomas Koch's
administration has identified
cutbacks "in the miUions of
dollars" in the first stages of
budget planning for the fis-
cal year that begins in July.
The mayor's budget team
has been working on budget
preparations for nearly a
month, much earlier than is
traditional, in anticipation
of substantial cuts in state
aid the city will likely suffer
amid the ongoing state and
national economic crisis.
"We are methodically
looking a every department
every service and every ex-
pense, knowing that cuts
will be a certainty," Koch
said. "We are attacking this
crisis head-on, and we are
prepared to make the tough
decisions that will be re-
quired as we work through
this crisis."
The work done to date to
stabilize the City's finances
will be critical to help City
Hall weather the economic
situation, according to the
City's independent auditor,
James Powers, who report-
ed preliminary findings to
the City Council on Tuesday
night. Koch said.
With the city's local fi-
nancial operations stabi-
lized, much will depend on
how much state aid will be
cut. The administration's
team has been working
through scenarios that in-
clude 5,10 and 15 percent
cuts to local aid, which this
year totaled $43 million to
the City.
Those cuts will loom for
the fiscal year beginning
in July, but state officials
have suggested that a round
of mid-year cuts are likely
forthcoming within the next
month.

City Cracking Down On Businesses
Not Clearing Snow From Sidewalks
QMC President Gary Gibbons
Named One Of America's Top Doctors
The City Department
of Inspectional Services is
cracking down on business
owners who have consis-
tently ignored shoveling
snow from sidewalks in
front of their buildings.
Inspectors issued $2,000
worth of fines to repeat of-
fenders from Friday to Mon-
day, and issued first-time
warnings to dozens of busi-
nesses in the city.
City law requires that
business owners, including
the owners of apartment
buildings, to keep sidewalks
clear of snow in front of
their businesses.
'This is a public safety
issue, and every one must do
their part," said Inspectional
Services Director Jay Duca.
"We are giving verbal warn-
ings to first-time offenders,
but the people who continue
to fail to do this storm after
storm will continue to be
fined."
City sidewalk plows fo-
cus largely on school routes,
making the role of business
owners and residents more
important, Duca said. There
is no law requiring home-
owners to shovel sidewalks,
but City officials strongly
encourage it.

I met up with a State
Trooper from the State Fire
Marshal's Office while our
conversation gravitated to-
ward some fire cause and
origin issues. He has the
opportunity to investigate
many fires within many
communities, while that ex-
perience affords first hand
knowledge of common fire
cause scenarios. Our discus-
sion prompts me to share an-
other look at some of those
scenarios with you here.
We were discussing fire
fatalifies that came about
from individuals sleeping
with a space heater present
and operating within a room.
In one instance the space
heater fell over, never shut-
ting off as it was designed
to do. It, like many other
portable space heaters sold
within Massachusetts, was
advertised with a shutoff
feature should the unit fall
over. The insurance compa-
ny, investigating the fire as
well , eventually purchased a
number of these same space
heaters to determine the re-
liability of that "shut ofT'
K U r JL o o 1 U JN A L
EC TORY
feature. They found that in
every unit, they failed to op-
erate as designed.
I have never written about
this "fall over/shut off' fea-
ture where I don't believe
that it should be relied upon.
Placing a portable space
heater on a stable base, 3
feet away from combus-
tibles, and not left on while
sleeping, nor left unattended
within a room, should assure
a reasonable level of safety.
They should not be taken for
granted; sleeping with one
operating within a room is
taking it for granted and is
unacceptable. As my discus-
sion with the trooper con-
firms, that practice has lead
to a number of fire fatalities
within this State and that's
unacceptable as well.
We also discussed the
frequency of electrical fires
associated with aquariums.
Our discussion focused
on the failure of extension
cords used for heaters, cir-
culators and lighting.
In my opinion, power
strips are inappropriate for
this use while the State Fire
Marshal suggests that they
are more appropriately used
with electronics. If an exten-

sion cord must be used for

certain that it is of appro-
priate size for the electrical
load.
Lastly, we discussed a
new favorite of mine, cloth
dr>ers. We both agreed;
simple lint screen cleaning
with each use is imperative,
but over time, is not enough.
Particularly with long-term
excessive use, the exhaust
hose should be removed and
checked periodically. As
evidenced by my own dryer,
lint can bypass the screen
and accumulate within the
exhaust hose. Consequently,
I just removed and replaced
my own, as the trooper did
as well. Fire investigation
experience, and news re-
ports of recent incidents
caused by lint accumulation
will prompt such action.
You can direct deliber-
ate attention to all three of
these issues if they apply.
Take moments; be proactive
about your own welfare and
that of your loved ones. If
you use a space heater, do
so responsibly, make cer-
tain extension cords are ap-
propriate for their use, use
those homeowner skills and
replace a dryer exhaust vent
hose if needed. Thank you
for doing so.

Think Before You Drink!
Twist The Tap, Not The Cap
Joe Salvatore of Archbishop Williams H.S wrote the fol-
lowing essay for a 2(X)8 MWRA essay contest. It has been
edited to fit this space.
We see it everywhere we go, society's obsession with
bottled water. We see commer-
cials showing beautiful water
in babbling brooks, beautiful
waterfalls in places so pictur-
esque that we can only imag-
ine them. Water so pure and
clean it has to be delicious,
cool and thirst quenching. We
see the advertisements with
athletes holding bottled water
suggesting it will make us fit. We know it's expensive. It's
a multi-billion dollar business! We see the weight-watching
adults with bottled water suggesting that it might make us
thin. The old quote for the dieter regarding food is, "A mo-
ment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips." Perhaps the new
slogan for bottled water should be, "A moment on the lips, a
thousand years in the land till".
The impact of plastic waste is only a fraction of what
we need to know about the bottled water we are drinking.
Water is life. Plain and simple, without water there could be
no life. We see it everywhere we live. It covers most of our
planet Earth. We use it to drink, we use it to cook, we use it
to clean, bathe and shower, and it flows down our drains and
toilets and out of our homes back to the Earth. It is some-
thing we often take for granted. We don't think about where
it's coming from, but we should.
We need water, but do we really need bottled water. . .? Is
it really that good for us ..? We hear people every day com-
plaining about the price of gasoline but if we opened those
little bottles of water and filled a gallon jug we would real-
ize ...we are paying a lot more for something that we could
...by simply turning to our tap. The truth is, the total amount
of energy that is used to fill that beautiful little plastic bottle
of water, transport it. . . refrigerate it and then dispose of the
empty plastic bottle could be the same amount of money
and energy ... used to till a one liter bottle one quarter full
of oil. What a waste!
The bottled water companies know that we are fearful of
polluted water supplies and they use our lack of safe water
education to their advantage. What they don't tell us is there
is no guarantee that the water in that bottle is any better tast-
ing, any purer, any more regulated, protected or safer than
what is flowing right out of the taps in our own homes. In
fact it may have come from a municipal water supply itself
instead of the beautiful spring pictured on the bottle and —
the bottlers don't have to tell us.
We may hear that bottled water is color free, calorie free,
caffeine free and sugar free, but ...what are we getting for
"free" in those little bottles of water? Random tests of bot-
tled water have found carcinogens, bacteria, mold, benzene.
Sheriff's RSVP Program

coliform, microbes and chemicals. Chemicals like phtha-
lates have been detected in bottled water. It is the chemical
used to soften the plastic of the bottle. . .
What will be the lasting effects of all this exposure to our
bodies and our environment? The more we learn about bot-
tled water the harder it seems
to swallow. Is that bottle of
water safer, healthier, or more
pure? There is no guarantee.
The only guarantee the bottled
water companies can make is
that their water will cost us a
lot more money than what we
get from the tap
Is our tap water safe? Yes
it is. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is re-
sponsible for monitoring our tap water. Here in Massachu-
setts we know that our tap water is being treated, tested and
safely delivered right to our tap. Ihe Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority (MWRA) and o\xx local water depart-
ments test up to 5()^) water samples a week. They also check
for over 120 different kinds of contaminants each year. The
FDA (also) watches over the bottling of water. The problem
is: if the water is bottled in the same state as where we are
buying it, the FDA doesn't have to be involved at all. Who
is protecting us? The EPA, along with state and local gov-
ernments, has a lot more people spending a lot more time
watching our water supply.
We know that yes, some bottled waters are regulated but,
we can rest assured that when we turn on our tap all the wa-
ter that flows is being regulated'.' We can go one step further
to assure ourselves that our water is the best and our envi-
ronment is safe by installing an in-home water purification
system.
Stop! Think before you drink! Is the convenience of that
bottled water today . . . , worth more than what we will leave
behind for the Earth's future' Has ...laziness replaced our
common sense? Some people hold their bottled water like
...a status symbol. The truth is. it's the symbol of an un-
educated consumer. With each sip we are contributing to
the 25.5 billion plastic water bottles being sold each year.
The bottling plants use more than 17 million barrels of oil
to make those plastic bottles. For our convenience the bot-
tled water is delivered to ...stores requiring more fuel to
transport... The bottling plants produce 2.5 tons of carbon
dioxide producing the water. All of this is being done for
our "convenience" ... at an outrageous cost to ... our pock-
etbooks and . . . our environment.
We can replace what we lose frt)m our pocketbooks but
once we ruin our enviri)nnient it is gone forever. Before you
twist off the next cap research what that bottle means. Did
you know it takes three liters of water to make one liter of
bottled water? Does that make sense to you? Educate your-
self. Protect yourself. Protect our Earth. Skip the bottles and
use the tap. Drink up! It's safe!

Confusion reigned and
the coolest heads aboard

out with boat dnil precision
and, when the boxes were
empty, gave their own life
jackets toothers

son's son from New York
City, a Reform Church of
America.
The work of the Four
Chaplains helped save 2()9
of the Dorchester's comple-
ment and the last anyone saw
of them they were standing
on the slanted deck, arms
locked together, all pra>ing
to the same God the) wor-

I tamt Md lunw Act t
(ARA) - The economy
may be in the doldrums, but
that doesn't mean your de-
cor has to be there too. It's
possible to turn dark, dreary
and dated decor into light,
lively and "now" on just a
shoestring budget.
What's the secret to
sprucing up on a shoestring?
Lighten up - literally.
Upgrading your home's
lighting can impart a whole
new atmosphere, and you
don't need to spend big
bucks on pricey new fixtures
to do it. Simple, budget-
friendly changes can make
a big difference in how your
home looks and feels, and
how much you enjoy living
there.
The experts at the Ameri-
can Lighting Association
(ALA) offer a few tips for
creating a big impact on a
small budget.
First, consider the first
impression guests (or po-
tential buyers) have of your
home. "Upgrading exterior
lighting or entry way lighting
can improve the curb appeal
and first impression of your
home," says Monty Gilbert-
son, manager of Lighting
Designs by Wettsteins in La
Crosse, Wis.
Michael Berman, a light-
ing consultant with Chats-
worth, Calif-based Lamps
Plus, agrees. "Replacing old,
worn-out fixtures, purchas-
ing inexpensive landscape
lights to highlight interest-
ing architectural elements
or plantscapes can make it
'love at first sight' for po-
tential buyers," he says.
Once you've upgraded
the outside, take a look at
the first parts of the house
guests see - often the entry-
way or dining room on mod-
em floor plans.
"Changing the dining
room chandelier and/or the
foyer light will make ma-
jor strides in improving the
look and. in some cases, the
efficiency of your home,"
Gilbertson says. "Fixtures
in the entry way should set
the style for the rest of the
house," Berman adds. "Even
a small flush-mount fixture
can add style to an other-
wise lackluster entry."
Next, install dimmers
throughout the house, even
in rooms where you might
not normally think of us-
ing them, like the kitchen
and bath, suggests Joe Rey-
Barreau, an education con-
sultant for the ALA and an
associate professor at the
University of Kentucky's
School of Interior Design.
An upgrade that's well
within the skills of most
do-it-yourselfers, installing
a dimmer can completely
change the character and
quality of a space. For ex-
ample, dimmers in a bath-
room enable you to use the
facilities in the middle of
the night without the jarring
impact of turning on bright,
overhead lighting. In a mas-
ter bedroom, they can create
a soothing or even romantic
mood.
In other rooms, take a
look at your table lamps, ad-
vise both Rey-Barreau and
Jeff Dross, senior product
manager for Kichler Light-
ing in Cleveland. "One
way to make an impact on
a small budget is by chang-
ing outdated lampshades
with newer trend-forward
versions that incorporate
fashion-friendly colors,
fabrics or patterns," Dross
says. "Many companies sell
stand-alone shades at bud-
get-friendly prices."
Consider how you use
table lamps as well, Rey-
Barreau says. "How many
do you use in a room? What
types? Table lamps can cre-
ate a more diverse quality
of light, and adding a few
accent lamps in a room can
really change the quality of
a space," he adds.
Simple upgrades in
kitchens and baths can also
deliver big impact and en-
hance your home's value on
a shoestring budget, the ex-
perts agree.
Modem kitchens often
hide lighting under cabinets
or in the ceiling through
recessed lighting. "Adding
fixtures that can be shown
off and enjoyed can make
a big impact," Dross says.
"Adding mini pendants is a
good place to start. They add
aesthetic appeal and build
an interesting focal point at
a fair price." Or, upgrade
from a single bulb fixture in
the kitchen to a multi-bulb
unit with a dimmer, Gilbert-
son suggests.
In baths and kitchens,
consider replacing fixtures
with dated finishes with
more contemporary choices.
Many manufacturers now
make light fixtures in fin-
ishes that complement some
of the more popular choices
for plumbing fixtures, Rey-
Barreau points out.
Finally, when you're
lighting a room, keep in
mind that you need to use
more than one light and more
than one kind of light. A bal-
ance of overhead lights (on
dimmers), floor lamps and/
or table lamps will produce
the most aesthetically pleas-
ing, livable atmosphere.

to use lighting to enhance
your home's decor, livability
and salability, or to find an

ingAssoc.com, or call (800)

Remodel Your Kitchen For A Great Return On Investment
(ARA) - Remodeling
a current home instead
of buying a new one is a
popular decision among
homeowners in today's
economy and housing mar-
ket. It's also a wise choice,
for when the time comes to
sell, the return on invest-
ment for many remodeling
projects is significant, es-
pecially in the kitchen.
According to the 2008-
2009 Cost vs. Value Report
from Remodeling Maga-
zine, the national average
cost recouped from a ma-
jor, mid-range kitchen re-
model is 76 percent. And
until you're ready to resell,
you'll have a beautiful
kitchen designed for your
lifestyle.
"For many people, the
kitchen is the most impor-
tant, and busiest room in
the house," says Connie
Edwards, certified kitchen
and bathroom designer
and director of design for
Shenandoah Cabinetry.
"Whether you're remod-
eling to create the kitchen
of your dreams, or to sim-
ply increase the value of
your home, keep in mind
that you, or the next fam-
ily, will spend a lot of time
in this room. You'll want
to make it as comfortable,
beautiful and functional as
possible without breaking
the bank."
Before you take that
first step and begin demo-
lition, Edwards offers a
few vital tips to help create
your dream kitchen, save
precious time and increase
your home's value.
Plan, Plan, Plan -Good
design begins with a great
plan. It takes tht)ughtful
preparation and while a bit
complex, it's also exciting.
A kitchen remodel is a big
investment, so know how
much you are willing to
spend and plan ahead on
the layout and design fea-
tures, if you do, it will be
easier to manage your bud-
get and completion date.
Keep in mind that hard-
ware, paint and wall cover-
ings can easily be updated
to reflect the latest trends,
but make sure your big
purchases like cabinetry,
countertops and appliances
are something you can live
with for years.
Think About the Way
You Live — Your new
kitchen design should be
based on the way your
family lives. How many
people will be in the kitch-
en at one time? In addition
to cooking, will you use
your kitchen for dining,
entertaining or homework?
Does anyone in your fam-
ily have special needs?
Do you need a lot of stor-
age? Prepare an inspiration
folder of ideas you've seen
in magazines or digital pic-
tures you've taken of ele-
ments you like. The more
you share with your kitch-
en design specialist, the
easier it will be for them to
get that sense of your fam-
ily's lifestyle.
Your Personal Style
- When selecting your
kitchen cabinets, are you
traditional, contempo-
rary or somewhere in be-
tween? Manufacturers like
Shenandoah Cabinetry of-
fer hundreds of door style
options and accessories.
Before you head to your
local Lowe's, it's important
to know your style so your
designer can help create a
unique, customized look.
Think about what appeals
to you -- styles, finishes,
colors, etc. From a practi-
cal standpoint, review your
priorities - your "must
haves" - against your tar-
get budget.
Pay Attention to Detail
- It's the little things that
make a big difference.
Beautiful details allow you
to really personalize your
new kitchen. To give your
kitchen a custom-like look,
consider adding decorative
accents such as molding
build-ups, ornaments and
corbels. Including deco-
rative accessories such
as hardware, glass door
inserts and under cabmet
lighting can also make the
room sparkle. Visit a kitch-
en design specialist at your
local home center to dis-
cover even more ways you
can add the perfect touch.
Use Space Efficiently
-- No matter the size of
your kitchen, it's impor-
tant to maximize space
and keep things organized.
Accessories such as the
Base Pot & Pan Organizer.
Roll Out Tray Divider and
Spice Door Cabinet from
Shenandoah's Organiza-
tionOptions help create
a kitchen that is as hard-
working as it is beautiful.
Take Measurements
-- Be prepared with accu-
rate measurements of your
current space and double
check your work. You can
download tools like grid
paper at www.Shenando-
ahCabinetry.com/planner.
asp. Have your installer
validate the dimensions or
obtain professional mea-
surements. Your kitchen
design specialist will ap-
preciate your detailed in-
formation. This will also
help avoid measurement
errors that can lead to
costly delays and incorrect
product orders.
Surival Tips For Colder Weather
(NAPS) - There are
many simple steps hom-
eowners can take to protect
their homes and lower en-
ergy bills during the colder
winter months.
Here are a few easy tips
from the experts at Lowe's:
• Protect your pipes. To
prevent freezing, insulate
exposed interior pipes typi-
cally found in unfinished
basements and install cold-
weather faucet covers on
exterior faucets. Insulation
comes in different materials,
lengths and diameters and is
precut for easy installation.
There's no need to remove
the insulation after winter
because it helps reduce en-
ergy used to warm water.
• Keep pipes from burst-
ing. When pipes freeze, wa-
ter only trickles out or won't
come out at all when a fau-
cet is turned on. Turn off the
water at the main shutoff
valve immediately to pre-
vent water-pipe bursting - a
major source of flooding.
• Optimize heating by
plugging drafts. "To test
for leaky windows, place a
playing card into the crevice
of an outside door or win-
dow; if it fits, you need to
reseal your windows with
caulk," says Bill Dodd, vice
president of merchandising
for Lowe's.
Also,remembertochange
furnace filters frequently.
Clogged filters reduce air-
flow through the heating/
cooling system, forcing the
unit to work harder and less
efficiently.
• After a snowfall, save
your back. Snow throwers
can clear most surfaces in a
fraction of the time required
by shoveling with much less
effort. Single-stage throwers
are best used on small drive-
ways, sidewalks and patios
where snowfall is 7 inches
or less.
• Storm recovery. Fol-
lowing a storm, check your
home for physical damage.
Always wear proper safety
equipment such as heavy
boots, gloves and safety
goggles when cleanng away
fallen tree limbs and other
debris. Stay away from
downed or dangling power
lines.
Ensure your chain saw
is equipped with an anti-
kickback chain that is well
sharpened.
• Generator safety. Use
portable generators out-
doors in a well ventilated
area. Carbon monoxide de-
tector to protect your family
members.
• Storm survival kit
When bad weather strikes,
it's importantly to be pre-
pared. You can create a
winter storm survival kit in
advance for less than $100.
The kit should include a
first-aid kit. a flashlight or
12-hour safety light stick,
batteries, a two-way radio
with weather band, a snow
shovel, ice melt, and blan-
kets.

Banging Plagues
Gas Water Heater
Q, My wife and I are
• plagued with a bank-
ing ji;as water heater When
it heats, it cracks and
bangs. We have "soft"
water that has no lime in it.
The tank is 16 years old.
Our old home used well
water, but we never had
this problem. Can you help
dePme our present prob-
lem? — Pat and Mike in
Howell, SJ.
A, From your dcscnp-
• ttoii, it seems like the
banging noise start.s after
you use hot water The tank
begins to heat the tresh
water that has taken the used
water's place, and so about
five minutes after you use
hot water from the tap, the
heater begins banging
My first thought is that.
even though you have water
with a low mineral content
(and/or a water softener),
mineral buildup within the
heater is still a good possi-
bility. It is, after all, 16 years
old. and if it wasn't mam-
lamed regularly, then quite a
lot of mineral deptisits could
be lining the bottom of the
tank
First try flushing out the
tank. This is a relatively
quick task that doesn't
require you to shut off the
water
Vou should tuni the heat
Luntroi to its lowest setting,
without turning off the pilot
light l^t the Lank cotjl for a
half-hour Then, w corking
carefully, as the water will
still be warm, attach a short
water hose to the dram tap
near the bottom of the
heater, run the other end into
a bucket and drain water
from the tank. You may see
some w hue sediment or
rust-colored water with the
initial burst of water. f)nce
the tank has drained, close
the tap and return the ther-
mostat to Its regular setting
The water tank should be
flushed once or twae fx?r
year, even if you have .soft
water, to clear out the
inevitable mineral sediment.

at 1306 Hancock St. These
males were known to the
detectives as either dealers
or users of drugs.
The three males walked
over to the parking ga-
rage behind 1385 Hancock
St. and then temporarily
separated. Suspect #1 and
suspect #2 kept walking to
a comer of the garage while suspect #3 waited. Detec-
tive Coen observed the two suspects huddle in the comei,
make a hand to hand exchange and once this was com-
pleted, suspect #2 placed his hand in his right pants pock-
et. Suspect #1 placed his hand in his jacket pocket.
The three suspects then retraced their steps, walking
towards Hancock Street. Detective Coen advised the oth-
er Detectives that he believed that a drug transaction had
taken place, so they moved in and confronted the suspects
on Hancock Street.
Detective O'Rourke identified himself as a Police Of-
ficer and after separating suspect #1 from the others, he
provided the suspect with Miranda Warnings (Right to
remain silent . . .) and then asked him what he was doing
in the garage.
Suspect #1 responded, "Nothing." Detective O'Rourke
then pat-frisked the suspect and felt a pill bottle inside the
jacket pocket, the same pocket that Detective Coen ob-
served Suspect #1 put his hand into after the exchange.
A Job Well Done
Detective O'Rourke recovered a prescription bottle with
numerous yellow pills. The bottle's label that shows the
owner's name was torn from the bottle. According to the
Drug Unit, this is a common tactic for people who sell their
prescription medication.
Suspect #1 was asked if this was his prescription and he
denied this, but then added that the pills are for "anxiety."
Detective O'Rourke asked the suspect how he got these pills
and the suspect blurted out that he did not pay for them. The
suspect then said, "I might have just found them."
Suspect #1 was asked if he received the pills from sus-
pect #2 and it was at this time that suspect #1 said he wanted
to speak to a lawyer. Upon closer examination, Detective
Coen believed these pills to be Clonazepam (a class C sub-
stance). During this time. Detective O'Brien questioned
suspect #2 after giving him his Miranda Warnings.
When asked what he was doing in the parking garage
with suspect #1 , he said that suspect #1 gave him a cigarette.
Detective O'Brien asked the suspect to show him the ciga-
rette, but the suspect said he smoked it. The detective knew
this was not true, but the statements were important to show
the suspect's lack of credibility for court purposes.
Detective O'Brien gained consent to search suspect #2
and found five $20 bills in the same pocket that the suspect
put his hand in just after the exchange. There was noth-
ing else in the pocket.
Suspect #2 had a wallet in his rear pocket that con-
tained $6.00. When asked why the money wasn't in
his wallet, the suspect did not have an answer.
Based on the totality of the circumstances, the detectives be-
lieved that suspect #1 had purchased the pills from suspect
#2 for $100.00.
Suspect #2, a 45-year-old Boston resident, was placed
under arrest for "Distribution of a Class C substance. Con-
spiracy to violate the controlled substance laws and Selling
a controlled substance within a thousand feet of a school."
The $100 was seized as evidence.
Suspect #1 was placed under arrest for "Possession
of a Class C substance and Conspiracy to violate the con-
trolled substance laws." The pills were packaged and for-
warded to the state food and drug lab for analysis.
A check of suspect #2's criminal history shows that
he was convicted for Possession to distribute a Class
B substance in Quincy District Court in 1999.
Nice Work!
In the past few years, there has been a significant in-
crease in misuse of prescription medications, whether it
be using someone else's meds or using one's own inap-
propriately. A recent study conducted in 2007 by the Na-
tional Institute of Drug Abuse, a component of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, shows a sig-
nificant increase in the "non-medical" use of stimulants,
depressants, pain killers and cough medicine for students
assessed at grade 8, grade 10 and grade 12.
(see http:7www.nida.nih.gov/lnfofacts/Painmcd.html)
Where are kids getting these medications? Often times
these medications are removed from the family medicine
cabinet by our children, or their friends, either for per-
sonal use and/or to sell on the street. Getting hooked on
these medications can lead to a life similar to the suspects
in this story. As parents, one of our responsibilities is to
discard medications no longer being used and to store cur-
rent meds in a secure location.

Red Hot Red Raiders Icemen Reel Off 5 Straight
By SEAN BRENNAN
The North Quincy Red
Raiders are heating up the
ice in 2CK)9.
After dropping a n»)n-
league game on Dec. 20
against Quincy High School .
4-3, the Raiders have reeled
off five straight victories
over Brockton, Middle-
boro, Whitman-Hanson,
Quincy and Silver Lake
High Schools to up its re-
cord to an impressive 6-2-2-
overall. The team currently
shares the top spot in the Pa-
triot League with Pembroke
High School at 5-0-1.
On Saturday (Jan. 17),
North Quincy traveled down
to Kingston to play the Lak-
ers of Silver Lake and rolled
to a 4-2 win. The Lakers
(5-5-1) got on the score-
board first with an early first
period goal, but the Raid-
ers responded by scoring
the tying goal and then 12
seconds later, scoring what
would prove to be the game-
wining tally.
Senior forward Scott
Richardson, with an assist
going to senior forward Paul
Reardon, tied the score at
1-1 halfway through the
opening period. Less than
15 seconds after Richard-
son's goal, senior forward
Brandon Gilmore, the Pa-
triot League's leading scor-
er (12 goals, 11 assists, 23
points), barreled down the
right wing and wristed a la-
ser under the crossbar to put
the Raiders ahead for good,
2-1.
"I was afraid we left our
gear on the bus early on,"
said NQ head coach Mi-
chael ("larletta. "It seemed
like we got that one (goal)
and it was a domino effect.
Our spirits lifted and we
were a different team."
With about six minutes
remaining in the first pe-
riod, junior forward Bran-
don Whitehouse collected
the rebound off a shot from
senior Matt Rodriguez and
buried it into the back of the
net to give NQ a 3-1 advan-
tage. At the end of 20 min-
utes of hockey the score was
3-1 North Quincy.
The Raiders continued
their aggressive attack early
on in the second period. Se-
nior forward Brian McLean
closed out the offense just
five minutes into the sec-
ond. His goal gave NQ a
three-goal lead. Silver Lake
would get one more on the
board four minutes after
McLean's tally, but they
would be denied throughout
the rest of the second and the
entire third period by junior
goaltender Matt Brundige
(20 saves.)
The win over Silver Lake
matched Pembroke High
School's victory over the
Lakers early in the week.
Both NQ and Pembroke
have matching league re-

cords and are scheduled to
meet for the one-and-only
time on the ice Feb. 4 at the
Quincy Youth Arena (7:10
p.m.).
Last Wednesday (Jan.
14), the Raiders and the
Quincy Presidents met for a
second time this winter. The
first meeting on Dec. 20 was
a benefit game for Patrick
White and Quincy escaped
with a win, 4-3.
Since that initial game,
the two teams have been
moving in different direc-
tions. North hasn't lost to a
Massachusetts team since
that 4-3 loss and has brought
their record to 6-2-2, while
Quincy has struggled to
score goals and have seen
their record drop to 3-5- 1 .
(The Presidents defeated
Hanover HS, 6-2, on Jan.
17).
After playing to a 0-0
draw after one period of
hcxkey. the Raiders stormed
out of the locker room and
dominated the second pe-
riod of play. Rodnguez
scored the first goal of the
game, halfway through the
period, on an assist from
Whitehouse (goal, assist)
that opened the floodgates.
Less than two minutes later,
sophomore forward Mike
Nelson beat Quincy goalie
Jeff Giordani to make it a
2-0 game.
In the first period the
Presidents held NQ score-
less on three power play op-
portunities, but after Nelson
scored, the Raiders soon
found themselves back on
the man advantage. This
time around North Quin-
cy would not be denied.
Gilmore continued his tor-
rid scoring streak with by
scoring his 12"^ goal of the
season to put North Quincy
ahead. 3-0

The wait is finally over
for the Quincy Presidents.
Winless in their first
eight games on the season,
Quincy (1-9 overall, 1-8 in
the Patriot League) earned
its first victory of the season
with a 33-50 deci.'ion over
Pembroke High School on
Jan. 13.
"It was a tough and tight
game," said Quincy head
coach Jeff Brestch. "The
team has been playing tough
all season long and a lot of
our games have been close
but we could never finish off
teams until last week.
"We have dropped two
games in overtime and nu-
merous others have not been
decided until the finals min-
utes. But this win over Pem-
broke got us over the hump.
It was good to see this team
finally pull out a close game
at the end. Hopefully we can
keep it going."
Against the Titans of
Pembroke, the Presidents
dominated on the offensive
and defensive glass, collect-
ing every major rebound to
maintain and control ball
possession. According to
Brestch, this aspect of the
contest was the difference
between a win and a loss.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL
"We did a great job re-
bounding on the offensive
and defensive glass. It was
the difference in a three-
point win and it was what
we have been working on
in practices. The girls re-
sponded."
Junior forward Col-
leen Tobin was the number
one star for the Presidents.
Tobin scored a career-high
19 points and collected 14
rebounds to lead the way for
Quincy. Fellow junior Les-
lie Campbell contributed to
the victory with 15 points
and sophomore guard Kori
Sorensen scored 13 points
(including two 3-pointers).
The Presidents and Titans
played an evenly matched
first half of basketball; at
the halftime break Quincy
trailed by three points. In
the third quarter Quincy as-
serted itself on defense and
at the end of quarter held a
39-37 lead.
"In the second half we
did a nice job breaking the
press and pressing them on
defense," added Brestch.
"Juli Tomer and Campbell
did a nice job breaking and
defending their press. It was
one of our best halves of
basketball this year."
With a two-point lead en-
tering the final quarter Quin-
cy bore down and held on to
win despite a late-game run
by Pembroke.
"They pulled close down
the stretch because some of
our best players were in foul
trouble, but we played our
game at the end and pulled
it out," said Brestch.
Although the team may
have just one win so far
this season, Quincy is get-
ting better and better every
game, and the future looks
bright moving forward. The
Presidents will graduate four
seniors (Kerri Ryan. Deanna
Hutchins, Katie Chemicki
and Elisa Lam) in June, but
the core of the team will be
back and better than ever.
The starting backcourt
this season is made up of a
freshman (Tomer) and soph-
omore (Sorensen), and the
front line will return Camp-
bell and Tobin, plus junior
Olivia Berry, a bright spot
on the court this year.
"For many of these play-
ers this is their first experi-
ence playing major minutes
at the varsity level," said
Brestch. "They have been
competing but the experi-
ence is not quite there yet.
But with players like Tomer,
our defensive specialist as a
freshman, Sorensen, Camp-
bell, Berry and Tobin we
have a core that should only
improve.
"This season still has
a long way to go, but the
team is already itching to
play some of these teams
again next year. If we can
learn from our mistakes and
get better this year than we
should be that much better
next season."
Quincy followed their
win over Pembroke with a
53-42 loss to Patriot League
opponent Rockland MS on
Jan. 16.
The Presidents trailed by
ten points at halftime (33-
23), and a late-game rally
that brought the game to
within two points gave the
team hope for back-to-back
victories, but it would not
be.
"We clawed our way
back into that game," said
Brestch. "But late foul
trouble hurt us and we just
couldn't pull it out."
Quincy played Hanover
HS Tuesday night and are
scheduled to play against
Middleboro HS this Friday
on the road.
North Quincy Defeats Hingham, Scituate
The North Quincy Red
Raiders continue to steam
through the competition this
winter.
Coming off an impres-
sive 62-40 victory over
Quincy High School on Jan.
9, North went two-for-two
against Patriot League foes-
Hingham and Scituate High
Schools last week to run its
record to 9- 1 overall and 6- 1

North Quincy traveled
to Hingham last Friday and
won 57-42. Senior Siob-
han Camell led all scorers
with 25 points, and on the
year is averaging 20 points
per game. Fellow seniors
Jessie Howlett and Kath-
leen Lynch and junior Cara
Murtagh also contributed
for the Raiders in the win.
the team's fifth in a row fol-
lowing a loss to Rockland
HS on Jan. 2.
Howlett dropped 10
points on Hingham and fin-
ished with six steals; Lynch
finished with eight rebounds,
six steals and seven assists
and Murtagh had eight steals
and three assists.
Last Tuesday (Jan. 13)
the Raiders stomped out
Scituate HS, 57-37, behind
a game-high 26 points from
Camell. The heralded senior
also ended the game with
four steals.
"This is Siobhan's third
year playing varsity," said
NQ head Michael Jorgenson.
"She is averaging 20 points

Well-Represented At State Relays
The combined Quincy-
North Quincy girls' winter
track team had several great
performances last week at
the Massachusetts State Re-
lays (Jan. 17), held at the
Reggie Lewis Track & Ath-
letic Center, Boston.
The team of Erica Brady,
Jess Davis, Mary Schwartz
and Alyssa Mullen took
seventh place in the 4 x
800-meter relay and the
same team finished eighth in
the Distance Medley relay.
The 4 X 200-meter team
of Ashley Bergonzi, Cristy
Sorensen, Mabel Setow and
Brianne Phelan ran their
best time of the year. The
team finished the 4 x 200
race in a time of 2:06.2.
The Quincy-North
Quincy team was also rep-
resented on Monday at the
Paul Davey Invitational at
Franklin High School. The
freshmen-sophomore meet,
held in honor of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., saw Erica
Brady place second in the
1000-meter race and Olivia
Toldness finishing second in
the high jump.
Other Q-NQ athletes at-
tending were Julia Ross
(one-mile), Julie Doyle
(1000-meters) and Juliette
Callahan (the dash).
The team's next's sched-
uled Tri-Meet is Jan. 29
against Patriot League op-
ponents Middleboro and
Whitman-Hanson High
Schools. Q-NQ will also run
against Hanover and Hing-
ham High Schools Feb. 2.
Both tri-meets will be held
at the Reggie Lewis Track
Center, Boston.
cently, but when they try and
shutdown her offense it just
opens up more opportunities
for the rest of the team.
"She is a great player and
a great leader for this team
and we wouldn't be where
we are without her this sea-
son."
Senior Catherine
O'Connell backed the play
of Camell with a monster
game herself. O'Connell
scored 14 points and blocked
two shots to help North run
its league record to 5-1.
Kathleen Lynch continued
her stellar play with eight
points and five steals and
Murtagh finished the game
with eight steals and three
assists.
"I have two returning
starters from last year's
team (Camell and Kathleen
Lynch), but I also have six
other seniors on the team,"
added Jorgenson. "They
have gelled together quickly
this year and once we com-
pletely find our team iden-
tity we should play even
better as a unit.
"I have coached many of
these seniors for four years
and 1 kind of know what
to expect. Our experience
helped us win some close
games early in the season,
specifically in the games
against Natick and Wey-
mouth in our holiday tourna-
ment. These two teams play
in the Bay State League and
those games were a good
test to see how we stack up
against better teams."
One player that has im-
pressed with her work ethic
and play in the early part of
the season has been senior
forward Kristina Anderson.
"Kristina has really
transformed herself into a
better basketball player this
season," Jorgenson added.
"She earned herself a start-
ing role with self-motivation
and hard work. She has been
one of the brightest spots on
a team that is filled with
them."
With nine Patriot League
games yet to be played the
Raiders are currently sitting
pretty atop the Fisher Divi-
sion with their 6-1 record.
The change in leagues this
season from the Atlantic
Coast League (ACL) to the
Patriot League (PL) has
not seemed to faze the Red
Raiders. The team continues
to rack up the wins at a rapid
pace.
"There has been and will
be some ups and downs
playing in the Patriot League
this season," said Jorgenson.
"Every game is competifive,
but the combination of last
season's success in the ACL
and our returning talent has
allowed us to see what can
be possible if we play as a
team and play hard every
time out on the court.
"Last year was spe-
cial and this year we have
a chance to do something
even more special ."
North was scheduled
to play a non-league game
against Brockton HS on
Monday, Silver Lake HS on
Tuesday and will host Whit-
man-Hanson HS this Friday
(6:30 p.m.) and Duxbury
HS on Jan. 27. The games
against W-H and Duxbury
pit North Quincy against the
two best teams in the Patriot
League's Keenan Division.

yit aD know that we should live each (^y as it
comes . . . SometinKs this is a hard thing to do. We
seem to be burdened with yesterday 's troubles and
tomorrow's anticipation and fears. . .
With this thought in mind, we would like to share
with you some wise and profound thoughts of some
great men of time gone past. . .
Beiyamin Franklin urged: '^evo- leave that till tomorrow which you can
do today." And Ralph Wakk) Emerson made tbe point: "One of the illusions
in life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your
heart that everyday is ttw best day of the year. He only is right who owns the
day, and no one owns the day who aOows it to be invaded by worry, fret and
anxiety. Flni^ every day and be done with it You have done what you couM."
. . .And John Newton once said: "We can easily manage, if we will only take,
each day, the harden appointed for it But the knd will be too heavy for us if
we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the
morrow to the wdgfat before we are required to bear it."
Yes,ycstaday's gone and there is no real hidii^ place from today. Now is
the day, the hour! There is little we can do about yesterday and tomorrow is
ancotain, but today is vital and is all we can really "deal with." .. .Ibday is the
day! Own today! Get on with those unfinished tasks. DO IT TODAY!

Salomes
Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Although you're getting
kudos and other positive
reactions to your sugges-
tions, don't let the cheers
drown out some valid criti-
cisms. Better to deal with
them now than later.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Following your keen
Bovine intuition pays off, as
you not only reassess the
suggestions some people are
putting in front of you, but
also their agendas for doing
so.
GEMINI(May21 to June
20) You continue on a high-
enthusiasm cycle as that new
project you've assumed
takes shape. You're also
buoyed by the anticipation of
receiving some good news
about a personal matter.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Your eagerness to
immerse yourself in your
new assignment is under-
standable. But be careful that
you don't forget to take care
of that pressing personal sit-
uation as well.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) This is a good time to
learn a new skill that could
give a clever Cat an edge in
the upcoming competition
for workplace opportunities.
Enjoy the arts this weekend
with someone special.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) You could
risk creating an impasse if
you insist on expecting more
from others than they're pre-
pared to give. Showing flexi-
bility in what you'll accept
could prevent a stalemate.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Although you
can weigh all factors of a dis-
pute to find an agreeable
solution for others, you
might need the skilled input
of someone you trust to help
you deal with an ongoing sit-
uation of your own.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) The good
news is that your brief period
of self-doubt turns into a
positive "I can do anything"
attitude. The better news is
that you'll soon be able to
prove it.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 2 1 ) This
is a good time for Sagittari-
ans to start making travel
plans while you can still
select from a wide menu of
choices and deals, and not be
forced to settle for leftovers.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Like your
zodiacal sign, the sure-foot-
ed Goat, you won't allow
obstacles in your path to
keep you from reaching your
goal. Don't be surprised by
who asks to go along with
you.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Let your
head dominate your heart as
you consider the risks that
might be involved in agree-
ing to be a friend's co-signer
or otherwise act as his or her
backup in a financial matter.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Prioritize:
Resolve to close the door
and let your voice mail take
your phone calls while you
finish up a task before the
end-of-week deadline. Then
go out and enjoy a fun-filled
weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your capacity for care and
compassion helps to bring
comfort to others.

Jan. 29 In Merry mount
Cont 'd From Page 1
The three from Quincy
flew down to Washington
Sunday afternoon and
stayed at a Marriott Hotel
in Alexandria, Va., near
the Pentagon across the
Potomac from the nation's
capital .
They jumped into the so-
cial whirl right away with
dinner at the Washington
outpost of Legal Sea Foods
and a reception by the U.S.
Conference of Mayors at the
Bombay Club.
"Tom Koch wasn't there
and Doug was once presi-
dent of the City Council,
so we figured it was all
right for us to attend," said
McDermott.
After the new president
was duly sworn in and con-
cluded his 10-minute ad-
dress, they retired to the
Sonoma Restaurant for a
post-inaugural reception
thrown by Delahunt and
McDermott filed his report
to the folks back in Quincy.
It was an intimate gath-
ering by the standards of
Washington social life on
Jan. 20, 2008. Only about
200 showed up.
Later, the group planned
to attend a reception at
the Library of Congress
and after that dinner at a
Georgetown restaurant and
one of the many parties or
inaugural balls around the
town.
"We hope to go to
the Northeast Ball," said
McDermott. "It's a sellout
and we don't have tick-
ets but we were told not to
worry about it. You're never
without something to do
here.
"We're going to tour the
city on a tourist bus tomor-
row (Wednesday) and catch
a 6 p.m. flight back home."

three have been proposed in
Quincy.

a.m. at the Commonwealth

nates to the state conven-
tion.
The 2009 conven-
tion will be held Saturday,

Center in Springfield where
Democrats from across the
state will meet to discuss
and adopt a party platform.

will be equally divided be-
tween men and women.
Anyone at least 18 years
of age and a registered
Massachusetts Democrat as
of Dec. 3 is welcome to at-
tend the caucus and run for
delegate.
The caucus is open to
all registered Democrats in
Ward 1 . Those not elected
delegate or alternate may
apply to be add-on delegates
in the categories of youth,
minority and disabled.
Challenges to the del-
egate process must be filed
with the Massachusetts
Democratic Party, 56 Roland
St., Suite 203. Boston MA

Police, stymied by the
paucity of evidence, called
it an isolated incident and
asked residents, particularly

Residents Complain
Of Dangers At
Furnace Brook Ramp
By LAURA GRIFFIN
An exit ramp installed
a decade ago to ease traf-
fic congestion has turned
into a traffic nightmare for
West Quincy residents who
last week described naiTow
misses and dangers due to
the Furnace Brook off-ramp
(I-93-South) into Willard
Street and Ricciuti Drive.
"Something has to be
done," said Karen Djerf
who then described the ob-
stacles confronting her and
her neighbors navigating
the roadways at the West
Quincy rotary.
Djerf and John Storella-
Mullin said cars speed
off 1-93 down the ramp at
Willard Street and Ricciuti
Drive with no regard for a
"Yield" sign.
"They just pass you,"
said Storella-Mullin, while
another neighbor said of
drivers,"! don't think people
know what yield means."
Often, Djerf said she
has a car full of little ath-
letes, sometimes heading
Friendly Visitors
Sought At COA
The Quincy Council on
Aging is seeking volunteers
to call on the elderly who
live alone and would wel-
come a friendly visitor.
The COA is also seeking
seniors who live alone and
would like a friendly visit
themselves.
Call the COA at 6 17-376-
1508 and ask to speak with
Lena Trouth, the friendly
visitor coordinator.
The Council is mandated
by law to do background
checks on all volunteers.
for Quincy Youth baseball,
and she's dodging speeding
drivers who are "using the
exit as a cut-through" and
"don't yield."
According to the resi-
dents, drivers avoid conges-
tion on 1-93 South by speed-
ing off the Furnace Brook
ramp at Willard Street past
Ricciuti Drive.
These drivers ignore a
"Yield" sign, and, then im-
mediately, re-enter 1-93
South after bypassing the
rotary.
"It's created a real prob-
lem," said Jim Carson of
Loring Street who, last week,
urged the City Council's
Public Works Committee to
protect the residents.
"They (cars) can't cross
safely," said Storella-Mullin
who wants a red and green
traffic signal that will make
drivers exiting the express-
way stop and "deter people
from getting off and on"
through the ramps.
Storella-Mullin suggest-
ed that MassHighway use
cameras and updated tech-
nology to better interpret
and solve the problems.
MassHighway engineers
studied the intersection at the
request of Council President
Jay Davis who represents
Ward 4 and John Gillon,
Director, Department of
Traffic and Parking.
Gillon outlined the state's
findings last week and con-
cluded that the state's traf-
fic engineers do not recom-
mend either Stop signs or a
traffic signal.
However, the state does
plan some improvement
in the spring, according to
Gillon who noted the ramp
was created to accommo-
date the trucks transporting
"Big Dig" dirt to the former
landfill, now Granite Links
golf course.
In fact, the roadway was
built privately by McCourt
Construction and labeled
the "Expressway Wonder"
because it was constructed
in record time.
Since then, Gillon said
the pavement markings have
worn off and "vehicles are
floating into other lanes."
The January
MassHighway study found
only property damage due to
traffic accidents in the area,
and no fatalities justifying a
traffic signal, according to
Gillon.
Gillon told the committee
that MassHighway rejected
a proposal for "Stop" signs
as well.
The report concludes, "A
traffic control signal is not
warranted at this time based
on the accident history."
However, the state does
recommend the following
improvements which they
will undertake in the spring.
Pavemient Markings:
Repaint markings in the
spring with thermoplastic
paint to provide three lanes
for approximately 200 feet
"to help reduce sideswipe
type accidents."
Signs: Signs providing ad-
vance warning of the inter-
section, and advisory speeds
need to be replaced or up-
dated.
Flashing warning beacon:
is recommended. "A late
summer installation is an-
ticipated...."

40 To 60 Picket Plaza
Coughlin Wants $300 Fine,
Protesters Want Marijuana
By LAURA GRIFFIN
It was deja vu, the 1970's
all over again, and time to
protest for pot last week on
City Hall Plaza prior to the
City Council meeting.
Some 40 to 60 supporters
of public marijuana smoking
waved their signs and raised
clenched fists from City Hall
Plaza as dozens of passing
motorists blared their horns
to spur them on.
The pickets organized
by a group called Socialist
Alternatives protested a
proposed ordinance filed
by Ward 3 Kevin Coughlin
to establish $3(X) fines
for public pot smoking
and possession of drug
paraphernalia.
Just before the 7:30
meeting, the group, still 50
plus strong, tiled quietly
into City Council chambers
filling the seats held just
minutes earlier by a similar
number of supporters of a
proposed Asian supermarket
in North Quincy.
And that's when the party
ended.
For the next three hours,
the pickets sat in silence
through lengthy and detailed
discussions of development
plans, municipal finances,
the city's audit, the city's
debt service, bonding status,
information on Standard &
Poors and traffic in North

One picket said the
council's deadly boring
agenda was deliberately
conducted to avoid
discussion of his major issue,
the fines for marijuana.
"It was a filibuster." he
said.
Several persons have
since called council offices
for the information on the
public hearing but the date
has not yet been set.
Coughlin said the pickets
were exercising their right
to protest.

proposal. Coughlin said the
passage of Question 2 by
voters in November could
open the door to serious
problems.

THE HISTORY CHANNE
• On Jan. 26, 1838, the first
Prohibition law in U.S. his-
tory is passed in Tennessee,
making it a misdemeanor to
sell alcoholic beverages in
taverns and stores. Despite
an often-vigorous effort, the
federal government failed to
prevent the large-scale dis-
tribution of alcoholic bever-
ages, and organized crime
flourished.
•OnFeb. 1,1893. Thomas
Edison finishes the first
movie studio on his property
in West Orange. N.J. The
studio, a frame cabin cov-
ered with black roofing
paper, was built on a pivot so
it could be turned to face the
sunlight throughout the day.
Edison spent $638 building
the studio, which he called a
"revolving photographic
building."
•On Jan. 27, 1918, the first
Tarzan film, "Tarzan of the
Apes," is released. The silent
movie, based on Edgar Rice
Burroughs' novel, was the
first in a long line of Tarzan
productions. Olympic cham-
pion swimmer Johnny
Weissmuller starred in 11
Tarzan movies from 1932 to
1948.
• On Jan. 28, 1959, the
Green Bay Packers of the
National Football League
sign Vince Lombard! to a
five-year contract as the
team's coach and general
manager In his first season,
Lombardi guided the Pack-
ers to a 7-5 record and a
third-place finish in the
NFL's Western Conference.
• On Jan. 30, 1972, in Lon-
donderry, Northern Ireland,
13 unarmed civil-rights
demonstrators are shot dead
by British army paratroopers
in an event that becomes
known as "Bloody Sunday."
In April 1972, the British
government released a repon
exonerating British troops
from any illegal actions dur-
ing the protest.
•On Jan, 29, 1980, the U.S.
Postal Service issues a stamp
honoring comedian W.C.
Fields. On screen. Fields was
a misanthrope who haled
children and animals and
fought bankers, landladies
and the police. Friends
reported that his stage pres-
ence reflected Fields' true
personality.
• On Jan. 31, 1990, the
Soviet Union's first McDon-
ald's fast-food restaurant
opens in Moscow. Throngs
of people lined up to pay the
equivalent of several days'
wages for Big Macs, shakes
and french fries.

Crowley Moving Closer To Run
CROWLEY
Former Police Chief Robert Crowley still has 'em
guessing.
Will he run for the city council this
year? He seems closer to stepping into
the political arena than he did a couple
of weeks ago.
"I'm leaning toward it," he says. "I
will make a final decision in three or
four weeks.
And he adds:
"If I do run and am elected I will be a full-time city
councillor."
Crowley, who lives in Squantum, hasn't publicly in-
dicated whether he would run for the Ward 6 city seat
held by Brian McNamee or councillor at-large.
Those close to him say it would be for the Ward 6
seat.
Crowley has been attending city council meetings
or watching them on Quincy Access TV.
He has also picked up voter lists at City Hall and
key area maps.
Crowley, 61, retired from the Police Department
Junel , closing out a 38-year police career.
He ran a tight, tough ship as chief.
□
THIS YEAR'S CITY ELECTION is off to one of
the earliest starts with four new candidates already
running:
Margaret Laforest and Martin Aikens of the Zon-
ing Board are candidates for the Ward 1 seat, Brian
Pulmucci, Ward 4, and Karl Roos for
School Committee.
And veteran Mike McFarland is
also already starting getting things
rolling for his re-election campaign
for councillor at-large.
McFarland has a reception set for
Thursday, Feb. 12, 5 to 7 p.m. at the
Alba Bar & Grille, 1486 Hancock St.,

THREE WELL KNOWN Quincy figures are recov-
ering from serious injuries from falls on ice.
Bob Galligan, head of Great Western Adams Inn,
suffered rib fractures.
Former City Auditor Bob Foy, a pelvis fracture.
Jim Felci, former WJDA salesperson and a member
of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, a hip fracture.
The accidents all happened around Christmas and
the three are slowly on the mend.
Watch your steps, folks. It's still dangerous out
there. (And still 50 cold long days to spring.)

FRIENDS AND PATIENTS are
glad to see Allan Yacubian, North
Quincy High School legend, easing
back to work at his Wollaston dental
office after surgery last November.
Allan, as most people know, was
the model for The Yakoo, the beloved
NQHS mascot, created in 1957 with YACUBIAN
classmate Peter Fredricksen the art-
ist.
"I feel fine," he says. "And want to thank everyone
for their get-well cards and wishes and especially the
Quincy Medical Center and Boston Medical Center
for wonderful care I received."
A 1958 graduate of North. Allan is a generous bene-
factor to both his alma mater and Quincy High School
and has helped bring the schools closer together.

I RECENTLY HAD the pleasure of speaking to the
Quincy High School Journalism Class.
Hope the kids got as much out of it as I did. As an
old newspaperman I was impressed with their enthusi-
asm and interest in journalism.
Opportunities aren't as great in that field today as
they were a few years ago, but the kids had that look
of determination.
And they are fortunate to have a teacher like Sandy
McNeice, who really knows her subject.
And to have Chris Natalizia, faculty advisor, for the
impressive school paper. The Pony Express.
Thanks for your letter and kind words Sandy and
Chris and the kids:

Thank You, Interact Club Students
1 wanted to say "thank
you" to the over 30 Quin-
cy High School and North
Quincy High School stu-
dents of the Interact Club
and their club advisor Lynne students gave up either their
Houghton, who helped out Saturday morning or Satur-
on Saturday at Sacred Heart day evening to help the par-
School's 7th Annual Lunar ents at Sacred Heart School
New Year Event. These host a multi-cultural cele-
Dottie's Epiphany
I made a big discov-
ery this winter. I am an old
lady.
It came as an awful
shock to me. I'd never even
considered it. 1 had to be hit
over the head with the fact
that I am an OLD LADY
and to be honest with you, I
am still reeling.
All of a sudden I found
that 1 could not come and
go as I pleased. I found out
I was terrified of falling. I
found I could not navigate
my leg and found myself a
block or so down the street
right in front of the church
I'd struggled so hard to get
to. Very convenient if I'm
needed the last rites!
Ironically, as I waited to
cross the street there was a
young man standing beside
me. He had his hood down
over his face and I don't
know if he knew I was beside
him. He was wearing sneak-
ers and I was concerned for
him. I need not have worried
the huge pile ofice and snow because he leaped over the
old lady and I belonged
home in front of my TV-
not mountain climbing. Boy
was that realization hard to
take.
As I write, we are in the
middle of a snowstorm and
I'm in front of my TV where
I'll probably stay until ne.xt
spring. God willing 1'!! see
you all then. Older for sure
and hopefully wiser.
Of course I realize that
Hancock Street was built for
horse and carriages-not for
the thousands of cars that
I had to climb over in order
to cross the street (of course
if the crosswalks were prop-
erly shoveled, etc.).
I live one street over
from my church. . . closer
than I've ever been to it,
but I might just as well be
in another state. I tried to go
to church, as was my usual
custom, but I'll never do it
again. I climbed the moun-
tain to cross Hancock Street
and got to church, but com-
ing home was my downfall-
literally.
When I climbed the
mountain to get home, my
right leg landed in soft snow
up to my hip and the rest of
me was sprawled on Han-
c(x;k Street. Mercifully, a
car did not hit me, but I was
very, very lucky. Had that
been hard-packed ice, as
was the mountain I climbed
over, I would have broken
mountain-landed perfectly use it daily. Keeping it clear
on Hancock Street-dodged
cars and made it safely to
the other side, as I began my
ascent over the mountain.
Then it hit me - I'm an
in a snowstorm is no mean
feat.

bration for about 250 teach-
ers, students, families and
friends. The members of
the Interact Club were un-
failingly helpful, polite and
enthusiastic. They did every
job with a smile. You hardly
ever hear or see on the news
stories about young men
and women who are making
great choices; who are help-
ing their communities in
small, but important ways.
Well. Quincy has an entire
cadre of these young adults
who have already learned
the importance of helping
others. These students are a
credit to their parents and an
asset to the City. It makes
me feel very positive about
our future when we have
such a great group of young
people at both of our High
Schools. 1 look forward to
seeing what they will make
of themselves in the future.

Essay Contest Winners Tell
'Why I Love The Neck'
Ocean breezes, friendly
neighbors, a sense of com-
munity. The winners of the
"Why 1 Love the Neck" Es-
say Contest had no trouble
putting their love for their
seaside neighborhood into
words.
Sponsored by the
Hough's Neck MOTHERS
Club, the contest sought es-
says from both children and
adults on why they loved
Hough's Neck. Nearly 70
entries were received, with
a panel of Hough's Neck
judges selecting three stu-
dent winners and one adult
winner, including: Alison
Coleman, first place, ele-
mentary school division;
Sydney Shuttleworth, run-
ner up, elementary school
division; Madeline Kamb,
middle school division; and
Sandra McCauley, adult di-
vision.
Contest winners were
presented with savings
bonds and certificates at the
MOTHERS Club's recent
meeting, where they read
their prize winning essays.
Elementary school winner
Alison Coleman noted the
many activities available to
Hough's Neck residents.
"There are a lot of things
to do, like parks and fields
for kids to play," she wrote.
"There is stuff inside, too,
like the Maritime Center
where you play on the com-
puters, board games, TV
and arcade games, or the
Manet Health Center. They
have different stuff every
month, like sewing, bingo,
and more things."
Runner up Sydney
Shuttleworth pointed to
the beauty of the Hough's
Neck peninsula in her es-
say. "Sometimes if 1 go out
of Houghs Neck for a while
then I come back, 1 know
we're in Hough's Neck be-
cause it is so beautiful," she
wrote.
"I love Hough's Neck in
the summertime because on
a real hot day you get a cool
breeze off the water. You
don't have to travel far to
get to the beach, and my fa-
mily and I can sail our boat
all around Boston Harbor.'
Middle School winner
Madeline Kamb took her
devotion to Hough's Neck
even further, noting, "The
name Necker goes further
than just a word - it could
almost be considered a reli-
gion ." She added, "Neck-
ers are not only people and
neighbors, they go the extra
mile of being capable of be-
ing called family."
Lifelong Hough's Neck
resident Sandra McCauley,
72, the contest's adult win-
ner, agreed.
"Growing up in the Neck,
I took a lot for granted," she
wrote. "1 assumed everyone
lived in a place where people
accepted their neighbors as
they were, allowing them
their privacy except when
they thought they needed
help - which was given
without fuss - and then left
them to their privacy again.
I thought that anyone could
walk the streets in safety,
day or night. 1 never felt af-
raid, roaming about as kids
do If 1 needed anything,
there was always someone
near at hand to goto.
"Hough's Neck is not
just a place, it is a state of
mind!" McCauley noted.
"There is nowhere in this
world as unique as 'the
Neck.' As it says on the t-
shirt my daughter gave me,
'Proud to be a Necker!'"

Honored At Pinning Ceremony
Fifty Two Graduate From
Quincy College Associate
Degree Nursing Program
Fifty-two graduates of
Quincy College's Associate
Degree Program in Nursing
recently received their dis-
tinctive school pins signify-
ing their graduation.
The Professional Recog-
nition Pinning Ceremony
was held at Bethany Congre-
gational Church attended by
faculty, staff and members
of the graduates' families.
Margaret Rancourt, Co-
ordinator of the Part-Time
Associate Degree Program
in Nursing, praised the grad-
uates for their hard work.
She acknowledged their ac-
complishments as well as
the family and friends who
helped them achieve their
goals.
Kristin Parks, Chair of the
Associate Degree Program
in Nursing, emphasized the
significance of nurses in
society. She discussed how
nurses are present for birth
as well as the passing of life
on earth. "Through this in-
timate human interaction,
a special bond is formed
among nurses," she said.
Martha Sue Harris, Presi-
dent of Quincy College, also
reflected on the importance
of the Nursing Program and
the impact that nurses have
on humanity.
Paula Jo Beniers, a grad-
uate of the Class of 2008,

enjoy every moment of the
evening. She confided that
she had been too distracted

gram Faculty; a professor, a

Positive Credit Report, Low Interest Rates
Koch Says Finance
Reforms To Save
Several Million Dollars
McNamee Seeks Sewer Repair
Funds From Beechwood Center
Mayor Thomas Koch says
financial reforms pushed
by his administration have
prompted a positive credit
report and low interest rates
for required City borrowing
that will save taxpayers at
least several million dollars.
In the face of a nation-
wide economic crisis, the
city borrowed $46 million
for pre-existing projects at
an interest rate of less than
1 percent, lower than a
number of other municipal
bonds issued by cities in
Massachusetts recently.
The borrowing package
is for long-existing projects
such as the new Quincy
High School and others
that have been paid for with
short-term borrowing over
the last several years.
Koch has not sought to
borrow money for any new
projects since taking office
last January. The low interest
rates were secured after the
city was able to maintain it's
A and A+ ratings with agen-
cies Moody's and Standard
and Poor's, respectively.
The City's financial ad-
visor. Cinder McNerney, of
First Southwest Company,
said the positive ratings
were a direct result of the
administration's efforts to
clear deficits, overhaul fi-
nancial operations, and con-
servative spending.
"This is a positive sign
of progress, but we have
much work to do," Koch
said. "We will continue to
identify problems. Work to
fix them, and do everything
possible to secure our city's
future."
The positive news comes
at the same time indepen-
dent auditor issued a draft
report of the city's financial
condition and how to best
fix the problems. The report,
authored by James Pow-
ers, highlighted a number
of the same solutions as the
credit report, specifically the
City's correction of inappro-
priate accounting methods
in the Water and Sewer De-
partment, unfunded budget
items, and the elimination
of deficits.
"This report will be our
roadmap for moving for-
ward," Koch said. "It high-
lighted some of the work
we have been able to ac-
complish, and some that we
still need to get done to right
our ship. I am confident that
with the action taking to
date, we are well on our way
to a stable future."

Ward 6 City Councillor
Brian McNamee wants any
funds left in the Beechwood
On the Bay coffers directed
to the city's Sewer Rehabili-
tation Fund.
in a resolution filed last
week, McNamee formally
asked Mayor Thomas Koch
to review the final financial
statements of the Beech-
wo(xl non-profit, officially
Beechwood Community
Life Center, with an eye to
reimbursement funds for the
city.
McNamee believes that
the Beechwood daycare is
responsible for thousands
of dollars in damage to the
sewer system at the for-
mer Myles Slandish School
which was leased to Beech-
wood for one dollar a year
for more than a decade.
The Beechwood trustees
have begun filing for dis-

Tough Measures Suggested
To Balance Fiscal '10 Budget
City Councillor At- Large
John Keenan has filed a re-
solve suggesting specific
draconian measures that
could be used to meet ex-
pected increases in costs and
cuts in revenue in the bud-
gets for Fiscal 2010 and the
balance of Fiscal 2(X)9.
A second resolution, pro-
posed by Ward 1 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi and At-
Large Councillor Joseph
Finn, would have the
Finance Committee devise a
mission statement for delib-
erations on the Fiscal 2010
budget.
Both resolves were
filed in the Jan. 20 Council
meeting and referred to the
Finance Committee for con-
sideration along with budget
discussions.
Keenan 's projX)sal asks
Mayor Thomas Koch to
consider cuts in personnel
in all departments, includ-
ing Police, Fire and Public
Works, reductions in school
class sizes, closure of the
Wollaston and Adams Shore
libraries and the sale of ad-
vertising on fire engines.
Other cuts on the long
list of recommendations in-
clude consolidation of fire
stations, reconsideration of
the Central Middle School
construction schedule, a
reduced school transporta-
tion program, further con-
solidation of school athletic
teams.
Also reduction of hours at
the Main and North Quincy
libraries, private inspections
with certification rather than
city inspections, sale or
lease of certain parks, and
reductions the number of
fire apparatus during certain
shifts.
Other revenue sources
suggested by Keenan in-
clude increased fees for
street opening permits, a
trash collection fee, "hot
spot" fees for excessive
crime-related calls and fees
for excessive fire alarms,
increased fees for facilities
used by leagues and groups.
Also increased fees for
seasonal camps and recre-
ation programs, increased
fines for late retum of library
books, fees for advertising
at Adams Field, and limited
advertising on police ve-
hicles (an "adopt a cruiser"
program).
The Raymondi-Finn pro-
posal calls for the Mayor,
the Council President, the
Finance Committee Chair,
the Chief Financial Officer
and the Chief Assessor to
prepare an analysis of the
Fiscal 2010 budget and tax
rate and its impact on the
average homeowner.
All department heads
would submit to the City
Council a list of personnel
openings budgeted but not
filled for Fiscal 2008 and
2009.
The Finance Committee
before April 20 would vote
on a Mission Statement that
includes the goals of the
committee and the method-
ology it would use during
deliberations on the Fiscal
2010 budget.
One of the questions to
be answered in the Mission
Statement is: "Should we
take action in order to guar-
antee the residential hom-
eowners that their real estate
tax payments will not in-
crease for Fiscal 2010?"

By LAURA GRIFTIN
City Council last week
voted 6-2 to cancel a sched-
uled February meeting with
the B.J.'s Warehouse devel-
opment team after learning
that the company's legal
council is claiming a special
permit by default.
Raymondi and five other
councillors voted to cancel
the hearing after conclud-
ing that, under the circum-
stances, the council would
have little to no leverage
in requiring B.J.'s to adapt
their project to council rec-
ommendations.
"I'm not going to have
a public hearing with a gun
to my head," said Ward 2
Daniel Raymondi, adding
that the council was not
about to "roll over like dead
seals" on the B.J.'s project.
Councillors indicated
they will hold the hearing
or reschedule a public hear-
ing if the 'applicant files
a waiver and re-engages
the process." according to
Raymondi.
Otherwise, both City
Solicitor James Timmins
and Raymondi agreed, "It's
a litigation matter."
"We've made a grave
mistake," said Raymondi,
referring to the council's ap-
parent failure to act on the
B.J.'s application within the
legal time limits.
The council learned
of B.J.'s claim after City
Solicitor James Timmins
described a Jan. 20 letter
from B.J.'s attorneys, Lisa
Goodheart and C. Dylan
Sanders of Sugarman,
Rogers, Barshak & Cohen.
PC.
In the letter, Goodheart
DAN RAYMONDI
and Sanders claim the spe-
cial permit has been granted
automatically, because the
council failed to act in a
timely manner under the
law.
Timmins called the letter,
"an orchestrated attempt to
threaten this body."
"The special permit is
granted as a result of the
failure of the special permit
granting authority to hold a
public hearing on or before
October 7, 2008 (the last day
of the public hearing period,
as extended by agreement)
and issue a final decision
within ninety days.
Under the law, the coun-
cil must conduct a public
hearing as Special Permit
Granting Authority (SPGA)
within 65 days of a formal
filing and issue a decision
within 90 days of closing
the public hearing.
In their letter, Goodheart
and Sanders, said the time is
up and the special permit is
automatically granted.
"If this goes in by default,
1 think that's a shame," said
Councillor John Keenan
who voted with Raymondi,
as did Councillors Joseph
Finn, Michael, McFariand,
Kevin Coughlin, Ward 3,
and Leo Kelly, Ward 1 .
Developers for B.J.'s
Wholesale Club, Inc., an-
nounced plans for a 84,000
sq. ft. outlet at 200 Crown
Colony in July, 2008, and
had hoped to break ground
in November.
However, the project
hit a roadblock, when the
Planning Board rejected the
B.J.'s site plan by a 2-2 vote
in October.
The company took the
Planning Board decision to
Land Court and as a backup
plan, sought a Planned Unit
Development or PUD desig-
nation from the City Council
in October.
City Solicitor James
Timmins said the Land
Court judge issued no find-
ings on the issue, and, in
eady January, sent the mat-
ter back to the Planning
Board for further site plan
review.
The judge's ruling of-
fered "a way for the city to
maintain control over the
project, rather than the Land
Court," said Timmins in in-
terpreting that decision.
In the meantime, the
clock was running on B.J.'s
application for a special per-
mit.
Council President Jay
Davis whose district in-
cludes the Crown Colony
property and Ward 6 Brian
McNamee opposed the mo-
tion.
Timmins expressed "con-
cern as to how the city has
dealt with this."
Council members agreed
to a new procedure to insure
better tracking of PUD ap-
plications.

City Gets A- 1 Bond Rating
Good News And Bad News On Economic Front
By LAURA GRIFFIN
There's good news and
bad news on the city's
economic front and City
Council got a heavy dose of
both at last week's council
meeting.
The good news is the city
has an A-1 bond rating and
can finance bonds, short-
term, at rock-bottom inter-
est rates, but the bad news
is the city's book-keeping
has been as tangled as cold
pasta.
Cinder McNemey of
First Southwest Co. out-
lined the city's position in
the bond market while Jim
Powers of independent au-
ditors, Powers and Sullivan
of Wakefield, presented a
preliminary or draft audit
report.
The draft details nine lax
and unacceptable practices
called management weak-
nesses, including deficit
accounts and, in one case,
a fraudulent practice in the
2008 budget and in budgets
past.
As one example, the au-
dit found a $1 million defi-
cit in the police and fire de-
partment detail accounts, in
some instances, due to slow
collections.
Administrators have
received the preliminary
report and auditors from
Sullivan and Powers will
file a final report in the
spring with notations on the
city's improvements or non-
improvements.
Powers and Sullivan fo-
cused on the 2008 budget
which was prepared in the
Phelan administration and
executed for six months
each in both the Phelan and
Koch administrations. The
2008 fiscal year ended on
June 30, 2008.
"The City's financial
condition has significantly
deteriorated over the last
several years," noted audi-
tors in their draft. "If this
condition is not reversed,
the City's ability to provide
essential core services will
be adversely affected."
Mayor Thomas Koch
hired the auditing firm last
spring in an effort to over-
haul the city's approach to
funding and financing.
Since then, Koch reorga-
nized the city's finance de-
partments into the Municipal
Finance Department and
appointed former treasurer
Warren Sproul as Director.
The effect of such chang-
es should be included in
Powers and Sullivan's final
report in the spring.
COA In Need
Of Bath Seats
The Council on Aging is
in urgent need for bath seats
for senior citizens.
ff you have one to do-
nate, call the COA at 617-
376-1245.
As for the good financial
news, McNerney told coun-
cillors the city has the "high-
est short-term notes rating"
possible as an "affirmation
of what's taking place in the
city.
Both Standard & Poors
and Moody have issued
an Al rating for short-
term bonds, according to
McNemey.
In layman's terms, that
means that the city can
bundle all $46 million in
new and old bonds at a 1 .5
percent rate bid by Bank
of America for a one year
term.
An additional premium of
$360,452.12 bnngs the bor-
rowing rate down to point
72 percent or less than three
quarters of one percent.
McNemey did point out
that rating agencies gen-
erally look favorably on
municipal bonds as cities,
towns and states tend to be
good credit risks.
She also stated that, in
order to keep the ratings,
the city must address its
structural deficiencies and
increase its reserve funds.
Quincy's most favorable
asset for bond rates is its
potential "economic base,"
said McNemey, adding that
for bonding agencies, "They
see it (Quincy) as a power-
house."
McNemey did warn
councillors that the bond
premium should be encum-
bered and used only to help
defray the initial payments
on the bond.
As for the audit, Powers
and Sullivan reviewed the
2{X)8 finances and budget,
and found serious problems
in fund reporting, recording,
oversight, and planning and.
in at least one case, a delib-
erate misstatement of debt.
The auditors attributed
some major finance prob-
lems to past practices, "The
demands of balancing the
FY 2007 and FY 2008 bud-
gets along with limiting the
increase in real estate taxes
have led to aggressive reve-
nue projects which fell well
short of projections. . . ."
In addition to major re-
structuring and internal
controls, the auditors rec-
ommended strengthening
the collection prcKcss on re-
ceivables and tax liens, new
oversight on cash accounts,
and rebuilding the stabiliza-
tion and reserve fund bal-
ances.
The most glaring prob-
lems include the following:
Inadequate internal
controls-
Reconciliation of cash
and investments
Police and Fire fund
deficits." The police de-
tail fund had a deficit of
$875,000 as of June 302008
and the fire detail fund had
a cash deficit of $125,000,
partially due to uncollected
receivables.
The auditors estimate a
$400,000 to $700,000 defi-
cit even after all payments
are made.
Allocation of Indirect
Costs— This issue affecting
enterprise funds in 2007-08
has been addressed and cor-
rected, according to the au-
ditors
The Honeywell con-
tract, also, raised red ttags
for the auditors, as did the
lack of the monitoring of
Honeywell performance and
effectiveness.
The auditors recommend-
ed several practical changes,
such as the following:
Better reporting of
school activity funds. Both
the school department and
the city are "in violation of
the law" by not following
the legal requirements for
auditing student activity
funds and providing detailed
reporting of all balances and
expenditures.
The auditors warned that
such funds could be spent
on purposes outside the
scope of the law.
Requiring all city em-
ployees to take a one-week
or longer vacation as an
internal control function de-
signed to help an employer
to detect errors, inefficien-
cies and irregularities.
The snow and ice bud-
get is of particular interest
this year as the budget is al-
ready hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the red due to
this season's snowfall.
The auditors found that
"under-budgeting" snow
and ice budgets has been a
consistent practice with the
city. Although it is legal, "it
does not demonstrate pru-
dent budgeting practices."
Auditors discussed the
financial status of Quincy
College, but are request-
ing additional documents.

Qumcy College funds art-

The auditors, also, rec-
ommended establishing
an internal audit function,
which was approved by C'lty
Council last fali, but no ac-
tion has been taken.
At this time, the act-
ing auditor is an employee
of the Municipal Finance
Department, rather than
chosen by the City Council
To date, the council has not
acted to hire an auditor or
to contract with a firm The
position has been vacant for

Councillors discussed
several issues with Powers
before referring the au-
dit report to the Finance
Committee.
Councillor Joseph Finn
pointed out the councillors
were at a disadvantage as
they'd only received the 80
pages of double-sided fine
print hours earlier
"We received this, this
evening," said Councillor
Joseph Finn, adding it was
"frustrating" to have it "just
handed to us tonight. "
Ward 2 Councillor Dan
Raymondi questioned the
dollar value of Quincy
College as an asset for the
city and in potential discus-
sions for separating the col-
lege from the city.
Ward 6 Councillor Bnan
McNamee sought opin-
ions from Sullivan and
McNerney on restructuring
the citys S31 million debt
for the Honeywell proj-
ect to lower interest rates
than those contracted with
Honeywell
In addition. McNamee
questioned whether
Honey welFs assumptions
on savings are correct now
that fuel costs are lower
These audit statements
relate to the Honeywell is-
sues and activities m 2fK)7
and urn.
"Although the contract
was executed in .Ma) of
2(K)7. the City did not budget
for the $14 million sched-
uled lease payment due in
(the FY 2()()8 budget) "■
"The city paid the lease
payment prior to the ap-
propriation order in .Mav
2(K)8... " The transaction
was left off the cashbook
until the appropriation was
voted, and that "could be
considered fraud"
"The FY2(K)7 financial
statements properl> record-
ed the capital lease liabililv.
but reported a $32 million
capital asset in error."
The audit report and
management letter filed
with City Council is a pre-
limmarv or draft report
In keeping with munici-
pal audit praclices. Powers
and Sullivan will issue a
final report in late Spring
when they incorporate the
administration's response to
their recommendations.

modern edge, other services
such as a razor shave and
shoe shining are reminis-
cent of the traditional bar-
bershops from years past.
Smith said he is optimis-
tic about starting a business
in these economic times.
"I strongly believe that
if you have a solid business
plan, offer a product that is
unique and different, and
provide stellar customer
service, you can succeed
even when the economic
forecast isn't ideal."
While working through
college. Smith performed
haircuts at UMASS-Am-
herst where he was known
as the "Dorm Room Bar-
ber."
In 2007, following grad-
uate school , Smith began his
career as a school guidance
counselor while simultane-

Barber Shop in Boston,
where he met his colleagues
and current "Crew" staff.

to take a chance and open
Crew Cutz with the help of
his attorney instead of wait-
ing the three years to finish
law school.
In the future, Smith said
he hopes to continue his ca-
reer in education as well as
teach high school students
the art of barbering.

ing major cuts in state aid
and other financial con-
straints amid an economic
crisis that is believed to be
the worst in at least a gen-
eration.
Substantial budget cuts
are a near certainty, Koch
said, adding that the admin-
istration has already inden-
tified cutbacks "in the mil-
lions" of dollars for the new
fiscal year. Koch is expected
to deliver the annual City
budget to the City Council
much earlier this year than is
traditional to provide more
time for a full public review
of the city's fiscal situation.
"We are focused on pro-
tecting the core services of
the City, but we know that
there will be difficult deci-
sions ahead," Koch said.
Talks aimed at a wage
freeze will be the second
time in less than a year
that the Koch administra-
tion has negotiated with all
of the city's unions. In the
fall, the city's unions agreed
to join the state-run health
insurance program called
the Group Insurance Com-
mission, a move that will
save taxpayers $4 million in
health insurance costs in the
upcoming fiscal year.
Any wage freeze will no
impact the mid-year state aid
cuts announced last week by
Gov. Deval Patrick, K(Kh
said. The city expects to
receive firm numbers from
state authorities this week,
but officials estimate that
the city could be forced to
cut an additional $2 million
or more from a city budget
already slashed by $5 mil-
lion over the last several
months.
"These cuts are more
difficult because they come
half-way through the fiscal
year, but we will be ready
to make decisions as soon
as we have hard-numbers,"
Koch said, adding that his
team has been dissecting
spending for months look-
ing for areas to save money.

traffic remedies and analysis

Gillon then described
existing bottlenecks on the
two narrow access roads to

and parking at similar Asian
supermarkets in Boston, and
the potential for additional
traffic congestion on West
Squantum Street as well as
Hancock Street.

estimating vehicular traffic.

Raise Over $5,000 For Interfaith Services
25 Out Of 150 Take The
Frigid Hancock Plunge
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
Of the nearly 150 people
who braved the cold, windy
morning on snow-filled
Wollaston Beach Saturday.
25 of them actually went in
the water!
The third annual John
Hancock Plunge was spon-
sored by the Quincy Beaches
and Coastal Commi ssion . the
Friends of Wollaston Beach
and the State Department of
Conservation and Recreation
to benefit Quincy 's Interfaith
Social Services.
Chairman of the QBCC
Leo Kelly was excited about
the change in venue from
Quincy Point's Mound Street
Beach to Wollaston Beach
because of the increased ex-
posure this location brought
to the Hancock Plunge.
Kelly was right about
that. Not only was it the
largest crowd of participants
and spectators the event
had witnessed but the me-
dia was there in full flurry.
Representative of Quincy
Access TV, New England
Cable News, Marshfield
Radio WATD. The Sun and
the Patriot Ledger were all
there to report the plunge.
"We try to keep people
interested in the day and
in the beaches, even in the
winter, and I'm glad we're
doing this to recognize John
Hancock, whose birthday
was yesterday and who
doesn't get nearly enough
recognition in Quincy," said
Kelly.
"He was a great patriot
and should be recognized in
Quincy to the limit "
Radio personality Hank
Morse of WROR, WKLB
and WTKK. who was there
to take the plunge, said, "1
want to be here for Interfaith
Social Services who feed
people every day.
'They're a selfless group
and they brought me down
here because I'm not in the
best shape and I scare the
fish back to Cape Cod and
make it safe for the other
swimmers.
"When everybody gets
together like this, you don't
even feel the cold. The
plunge will last 10 seconds,
but tonight when you go
home you'll feel good that
people are having a meal
and are being taken care of
because of your efforts."
ISS Executive Director
Laura Stracco expressed her
extreme gratitude for the
support her agency receives
from funds raised during the
Hancock Plunge.
"The Plunge this year is
so critical for us," she said.
"We have been inundated
this year with requests for
financial assistance and
for food and we have had
an incredible increase in
the number of requests for
counseling.
"People arc feeling anx-
ious, getting depressed dur-
ing this current economic cri-
sis. They are losing jobs,. It's
such a stressful situation."
Fees for counseling are
offered on a sliding scale
basis, and Stracco reports
that ISS is one of the only
agencies in the area that will
offer counseling for a fee
which often times slides all
the way to zero, depending
on financial need.
Event coordinator
Chickie Abdallah reported
exclusively to The Sun that
the event has raised more
than $5,000.
"It's just overwhelming,"
she said, "how people will
reach out and help one an-
other. You have to be a good
neighbor. I had help along

forward, and feel good when
we put our heads on the pil-
low at night."
A group of seven good hu-
mored men from Executive
Lawn Care of Quincy en-
ergetically plunged into the
Mgid waters.
"I think this is a fun event,
human activity at its dumb-
est, and I'm rally excited
about it," said crew-member
Chris DuComb, who was
taking his first plunge.
The Marine Unit of the
Quincy Police Department
was on hand, and in the water,
to insure the safety of plunge
participants, who made their
way over ice and snow be-
fore hitting the ocean.
Even the now-famous
"Dunkin' Toe-Nuts," six of
them this year, negotiated
the precipitous beach to get
their toes wet.
Official, ribbon-topped
plumbers' plungers, along
with gift certificates from lo-
cal merchants went to 9-year-
old Shawn Kelly of Quincy,
winner of the prize for the
youngest plunger; Jennie
Pentz, for the oldest plunger;
and Lorrayne Paolucci, for
the best costume.
Brian Abdallah, owner
of Executive Lawn Care,
who raised $600, won the
top fund-raiser award, beat-
ing out the Marine Corps
League's Caddy Post with
its $435 donation.
Merchants who donated
gift certificates and prod-
ucts for the event were Sea
Street Dunkin' Donuts,cIam
chowder from Best Western
Adams Inn, Coop's Bar
and Grille in Quincy Point
and McKay's Breakfast &
Lunch.
And this year's Hancock
Plunge had its first corpo-
rate sponsor — the Quincy
Citizens Bank.

multi-service agency serv-
ing residents of Quincy and
surrounding areas.

need include: The Pantry

On Monday, Jan. 19, 2009, at approximately 9 p.m.,
Officer Michael Duran was on routine patrol when he
observed a vehicle drive past him on Sumner Street to-
wards Main Street. The officer noted the license plate was
not illuminated, so he turned around and pulled up behind
the vehicle, which was then at the intersection of Sumner
and South Street.
Officer Duran observed
the vehicle as it went
onto South Street towards
Main Street. The officer
clocked the vehicle travel- *
LT. DAN MINTON
ing 35 MPH in a 25MPH
zone. The officer activat-
ed his blue lights and si-
ren but the vehicle turned
onto Main Street and then
made an abrupt right turn
onto Harrington Avenue.
The vehicle, with four oc-
cupants, continued to travel on Harrington Avenue at a
slow speed but did not stop. The two rear passengers
looked back at the Officer as they moved about their seats.
The two front seat passengers also appeared to be mov-
ing around in the vehicle. Officer Duran notified dispatch
that the vehicle was not stopping, then moments later the
suspect vehicle stopped on Harrington Avenue.
Officer Duran approached the driver (suspect #1) and
recognized him as someone he had dealt with in the past.
He also noticed that no one was wearing seatbelts. When
the driver provided his license and registration. Officer
Duran observed that the driver's hand was shaking. The
Officer requested identification from the passengers so
that he could issue them citations for "Failing to Wear
a Seatbelt." One passenger provided identification but the
other two did not have any. Both left side windows were
down at the time so that the Officer could speak to all
the occupants. As the Officer spoke to the occupants, he
focused his attention on the right rear passenger, who was
wearing an oversized sweatshirt with a dark colored metal
object protruding from undemeath.
Fearing that this occupant could be concealing a weap-
on. Officer Duran inquired what he was hiding. The sus-
pect (#2) looked around at the other passengers and did
not reply. When asked a second time, he again did not
reply. Officer Duran then took out his service weapon
and held it at the low ready position as he instructed all
occupants to place their hands on the interior roof.
Suspect #2 complied but on two occasions brought
his hand down to his waist. Officer Duran then pointed
his gun at the occupants and instructed suspect #3, who
was sitting in the left rear seat, to slowly take his right
hand and lift up suspect #2's sweatshirt. When suspect
#3 lifted up suspect #2's sweatshirt. Officer Duran saw
A Job Well Done
a Tec 9 firearm (large capacity assault firearm) on suspect
#2's lap. The small metal portion first viewed by the Officer
turned out to be the barrel end of the weapon. Officer Duran
immediately radioed QPD Communications, broadcasting
the keyword, "Gun", which resulted in all available units
responding to his location.
At the same time. Officer Tom Loughlin who had just
arrived, cautiously walked up the right side of the suspect
vehicle. Suspect #2 then opened the right rear passenger
door of the vehicle and fled up the driveway of 50 Har-
rington Avenue. As he fled the vehicle, the firearm that
was on his lap fell to the floor below where he was sitting.
Officer Loughlin pursued the suspect and apprehended
him in a backyard a few houses away.
Detective William Ward assisted Officer Loughlin and af-
ter advising the suspect of his Miranda Rights, a pat frisk was
conducted and a Silencer, which belonged to the Tec 9 fire-
arm, was found in the right front pants pocket of suspect #2.
Officer Matt Patten arrived on scene and while Officer Du-
ran held the other three suspects at gunpoint. Officer Patten
reached in and grabbed the Tec 9 firearm to prevent the oth-
er suspects from using it. Officer Patten secured the weapon
in the police cruiser trunk and as he did this, he noted that
the firearm's serial number was obliterated. With Officer
Patten providing cover. Officer Duran then removed suspect
#1 , the driver from the vehicle and handcuffed him. A quick
pat frisk revealed $250.(X) in multiple folds, which Officer
Duran knew from his training and experience that drug
dealers often have money in separate folds indicating sep-
arate drug transactions. Officer Patten then removed sus-
pect #3, the left rear passenger, from the vehicle and read
him his rights, then found bullets, a loaded magazine for
a 380 handgun and a knife on the suspect. This knife was
a large folding knife, manufactured so that the handle could
be used as brass knuckles. Detective Brian Coen arrived on
scene and observed a Smith and Wesson .380 firearm under-
neath the drivers seat, which was visible from the left rear
passengers seat, as the left rear door was open. Detective
Brian Coen recovered the firearm and removed a fully load-
ed magazine from the firearm. Detective Coen tumed the
firearm and magazine over to Detective Tom Cleary. Offi-
cer Steve O'Donoghue then systematically removed suspect
#4 from the vehicle. She was read her rights as per Miran-
da to which she stated she understood. She was searched
by Officer Siobhan O'Connor, who found a small bag
of marijuana and fifty-nine Oxycontin pills on the suspect.
The estimated street value is $4720. She also had $273.00
and a cell phone. The money was in two folds of ($253
& $20). The drug evidence was later tumed over to Detec-
tive William O'Brien. While all suspects were detained
on scene, QPD Dispatcher Carol Flynn confirmed that
none of the individuals possessed a License to Carry
a Firearm or a Firearms Identification Card. Nice Work!
Suspect #1 , a 17 year old Dorchester resident, was charged
with Possessing a Firearm Without a FID Card, Il-
legal Possession of Ammunition, Trafficking Class A
(Oxycontin) Conspiracy to Violate Drug Law, Drug
Violation Near School or Park, Failure to Stop for Po-
lice, Speeding, Defective Plate Light and Seatbelt Vio-
lation. He also had two outstanding arrest warrants.
Suspect #2, a 17 year old Dorchester resident, was charged
with Possessing a Firearm Without an FID Card, Illegal
Possession of Ammunition, Carrying a Firearm Without
a License, Defacing Firearm Serial Number, Illegal Pos-
session of a Silencer, Possession of a Large Capacity Feed-
ing Device, Trafficking Class A (Oxycontin), Conspiracy to
Violate Drug Law, Drug Violation Near School or Park,
Knowingly Resisting Arrest and Failure to Wear Seatbelt.
Suspect #3, a 24 year old Boston resident, was charged
with Possessing a Firearm Without an FID Card, Il-
legal Possession of Ammunition, Carrymg a Danger-
ous Weapon to wit Brass Knuckles, Trafficking Class A
(Oxycontin), Conspiracy to Violate Drug Law, Drug Vio-
lation Near School or Park and Failure to Wear Seatbelt.
Suspect #4, a 19 year old Boston resident, was charged
with Illegal Possession of Ammunition, Possessing a Fire-
arm Without an FID Card, Trafficking Class A (Oxycon-
tin), Conspiracy to Violate Drug Law, Drug Violation Near
School or Park and Failure to Wear Seatbelt.
Detectives questioned the suspects and then passed on
this information to the Boston Police Homicide Division,
who are now looking at these suspects as being involved
in a murder a few weeks ago! Again, Nice Work!

□
SAFE WALKING: Due to recent snowstorms, some
of the sidewalks are difficult to maneuver and may require
walking in the street. It is recommended that pedestrians
walk towards traffic for many reasons. Visibility may be
limited to the driver by uncleared snow from the wind-
shield, snow or sun glare or salt coated glass. The road-
way may also be icy in spots. The roadway could also be
narrowed by snowbanks making it tight for two cars to
pass by each other. These conditions are only worsened
by drivers who text or engage in lengthy cellphone calls.
Pedestrians often have limited vision or hearing due to
winter clothing so they may be unaware of an approach-
ing car coming up behind them.
By facing oncoming traffic, a pedestrian will have a
chance to jump out of the way of a threat.

FIRE SAFETY
* by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
Sterling Students Conducting
Third U.S. Troop Drive
A Closer Look At Fire Prevention Incidents
As promised. I'll occa-
sionally convey some de-
tails concerning recent fire
incidents. Included herein
is three, one recent incident
in Quincy. another 2 from
Newton.
In Quincy, a child acci-
dentally tipped a lamp onto
a mattress and left it there.
The lamp contained an m-
candescent bulb, hot enough
to ignite the mattress over
time. It did and we were
called to a bedroom fire
soon afterwards.
A typical incandescent
light bulb emits heat at
around 260 degrees Fahr-
enheit. That's enough heat
that consideration should be
given to mamtaming a lamp
on a stable base, away from
combustibles, so that the hot
bulb and combustibles will
never come in contact with
each other. In this instance
the} did while the lamp
hadn't been returned back
onto its stable base; conse-
quently the resulting bed-
room fire.
Two recent incidents in
Newton caught my eye as
well. Both took place dur-
ing the holiday season, both
involved chimney fires. Al-
though I am unaware of the
details surrounding both
incidents, conclusions and
recommendations can be
made here just the same.
I suspect one of three
things occurred causing
these twi) fires. II over time a
fireplace is frequently used,
creosote can build within the
masonry flue. Creosote is a
tarry, combustible residue
and byproduct left attached
to the flue walls, which can
build upon itself, eventually
occluding or partially oc-
cluding the flue way. It can
also eventually ignite.
A flue is meant as a pas-
sageway to conduct com-
bustion products, gases, heat
and hot embers, to the out-
side of a structure. It is not
designed to house an actual
fire. This is particularly true
of older chimneys where
flue liners are not present
or w here mortar has broken
down leaving spaces where
fire and embers can migrate
and ignite wooden structural
members.
Either way, both possibil-
ities suggest that chimneys
should be both inspected
and cleaned prior to sea-
sonal use. Make certain the
flue remains clean and clear
of creosote, vegetation and
nesting material, while a
thorough inspection can as-
sure the chimney's integrit)
as well.
The w ood frami ng around
a li replace can also become
more susceptible to ignition
over time. Years of lire can
breakdown wood framing
adjacent to masonr> mak-
ing it easier to ignite. Con-
sequently, there are those
instances where one final
larger lire is too much
for the immediate struc-
ture and the framing ignites.
Ihis typicall) occur.> within
the wall making it more dif-
ficult to detect. I he fire then
extends through concealed
spaces behind the wall and
can be v\ell underwax prior
to detection.
It happens, and once
again emphasizes the im-
portance of respecting, in-
specting and maintaining
lireplaces and chimneys on
a regular basis. Particularly
with older structures, pre-
ventive measures are a ne-
cessity. Be safe!

CALCANEUS FRACTURE
The calcaneus is the bone
in the back of the foot com-
monly referred to as the heel
bone. This bone helps sup-
port the foot and is important
in normal walking. The joint on
top of the calcaneus is respon-
sible for allowing the foot to
rotate inwards and outwards.
Fractures of the calcaneus
are almost always the result
of high-energy injuries, which
can occur as a result for a fall
from a height, such as a ladder.
Other causes of a calcaneus
fracture include automobile
accidents and sports inju-
ries. The calcaneus can also
sustain a stress fracture, an
injury sometimes seen in long-
distance runners and other
athletes. Calcaneus fractures
cause significant swelling and
pain in the back of the foot.
The first step in treating any
foot problem is an accurate
diagnosis. This requires a
comprehensive history, physi-
cal exam, and, in some cases,
x-rays and lab tests. Depend
on it - whatever is causing
your foot pain, whether it's
heel pain or a disease, a he-
reditary condition or any num-
ber of ills that can plaque the
feet - you can count on us for
relief. For family podiatry that
combines state of the art tech-
nology and old-fashioned care
and compassion, call 781-
986-3668 for an appointment
at QUINCY MEDICAL CEN-
TER. Office hours are also
available at 999 North Main
St., in the Randolph Medical
Building, and Milton Medical
Building in Suite 221. 1 am af-
filiated with the Brockton and

Q,I have a septic sys-
• tern, and in the five
years that Fve lived in this
house, I have never put in
RID-X (a bacterial treat-
ment for septic tanks) until
this month. How do I know
if I need to do this? Is it
really necessary to do it
every month? I don't know
how long the septic tank
has been in. — Valerie B.,
EdwardsvUle, III.
A, Septic-system addi-
• lives claim to iceep
bacteria levels in the system
high, as bacteria play a role
in processing the waste in a
septic tank. The jury is out as
to whether regular monthly
application of these addi-
tives really helps maintain
the system. I have used addi-
tives to kick-start a septic
system that had been unused
for several months, but did-
n't need to add more in the
m<»iths afterward.
The best way to make cer-
tain your septic system
works weU is to have it
cleaned and inspected by a
septic service. As it has been
more than five years since
you moved in, with no main-
tenance done, it's probably
time for a pump-out. If
you're using additives
because frequent backups
are occurring, it's definitely
time for a pump-out.
Find out as much about
your tank as possible from
the service technician dur-
ing the visit. How big is your
tank? Its size, the number of
occupants in the house and
state guidelines on septic
tanks will determine how
often the tank needs mainte-
nance. Does your system
have a septic field, or hold-
ing tanks?
Once this maintenance is
done, you can keep the sys-
tem healthy a number of
ways. Additives are one
method, but you also can
keep the tank's bacteria
count high by not using too
much water and not dump-
ing bacteria-killing cleaners
or chemicals down the drain.
Never flush cat litter, ciga-
rette butts, coffee grounds,
dirt, latex or prescription
medicines down the drain.

Now Is The Time For
Smaller Home Remodel Projects
(ARA) - While new
home construction has come
to a grinding halt in most of
the country, smaller home-
renovation projects are still
a viable option for hom-
eowners.
In fact, the National As-
sociation of Home Builders
(NAHB) recently reported
a "slight increase" in minor
remodeling projects in its
third-quarter 2008 Remod-
eling Market Index.
What does all this mean
for homeowners? It spells
opportunity. And for those
who want to invest in their
homes, it's tough to beat
bathroom additions and re-
models, which rank high
on NAHB's list of the most
prevalent remodeling jobs.
Bathroom upgrades still
provide a solid investment
return, even in the present
tightening economy, accord-
ing to Remodeling Maga-
zine's 2008-2009 "Cost vs.
Value" report. The magazine
estimates that a midrange
bathroom redo will recoup
nearly 75 percent of its cost;
a bathroom addition recoups
just under 65 percent.
Get the most for your
money. Thinking about a
new or improved bath? If
so, avoid the high cost and
hassle of creating under-
floor plumbing connections
- one of the most expensive
and time-consuming aspects
of any bath project. Instead,
use macerating technology,
an above-floor plumbing
system that can be installed
right on top of an existing
floor in any part of the house
in only half a day.
With this type of instal-
lation, waste and water
are pumped away and up
from the plumbing fixtures
through small-diameter pip-
ing into the sewer or septic
tank. No more digging to
set plumbing drainage lines.
"This technology is easier,
more convenient and less in-
vasive," says plumber Mike
Sikorski of East Taunton,
Mass., who installs Saniflo
brand plumbing products.
"It saves my customers an
average of $ 1 ,000, and that's
on the low side."
Mike Coletto, another
Saniflo installer and an in-
dependent plumbing, HVAC
and electrical contractor in
Illinois, agrees. "If a bath-
room is on your project
list, consider above-floor
plumbing - especially if
you're planning a basement
remodel," he says. "Saniflo
makes installing a basement
bath a snap."
Here are some additional
ways to keep your home
bathroom remodel low-cost:
• Fix up vs. Replace;
Instead of buying new
cabinets, resurface or paint
them; update handles and
drawer pulls. Repair dam-
aged walls and redo the
caulking around sinks. Tile
only halfway up the wall.
• Improve vs. Expand:
Instead of knocking down
walls, gain space by re-
placing a hinged door with
a pocket door. Put in a re-
cessed medicine cabinet.
Install a bowed shower cur-
tain to increase the interior
shower space.
• Lighten and Brighten:
Repaint, using neutral col-
ors. Repair damaged floor-
ing, or install tile right over
the floor. Place task lighting
over the vanity, instead of
installing a window.
• Think Green: Replace
old windows with energy-
efficient models and you
may qualify for a federal tax
rebate. Replace leaky fau-
cets with low-flow models.

cost above-floor bathroom

Remodeling Trend: Make Room For The Parents
(ARA) - Think you have
a crowded house? Maybe
you're not alone. Surpris-
ing new data from the U.
S. Census Bureau finds that
many Americans are making
room in their home for par-
ents, followed by siblings
and other relatives.
From 2000 to 2007, the
number of parents who
move in with their adult
children grew 67 percent to
3.6 million. Even more in-
teresting, the number of par-
ents younger than age 65 in
these households increased
by 75 percent and those 65
and older rose 62 percent.
\fVlth uncertain economic
times and higher housing
costs , combining households
has become a more prudent
approach to managing ex-
penses. If you're planning
on making room for parents,
siblings or others, a room re-
model might be first on your
agenda. It is estimated that
more than a million homes
undergo a remodel or reno-
vation each year. And now's
a great time to connect with
contractors.
Kitchens remain the most
popular room for remodel-
ing, according to the Na-
tional Association of the Re-
modeling Industry (NARI),
because they tend to keep
their resale value. Kitchen
upgrades come closer than
any other home improve-
ment project to recouping
the remodeling cost when
the house is sold.
And today, many people
are looking for cost-effective
yet environmentally sound
remodeling techniques. In
their book, "Green Remod-
eling: Changing the World
One Room at a Time," au-
thors David Johnston and
Kim Master write, "Green
remodeling actually makes
and saves money. And this
is not just long-term en-
ergy saving costs; the cost
to implement green features
('first costs') is often less
than remodeling by conven-
tional standards. In the long
term, green renovations in-
crease the resale value of
your home."
If you're looking for
home improvements that are
also good for the environ-
ment, consider these green
remodeling tips from Pella
Windows & Doors:
* Windows - Install
Low-E double or triple-pane
windows for at least the east
and west windows, subject-
ed to intense morning and
afternoon sunlight, caus-
ing significant summer heat
gain. Lxx)k for a Solar Heat
Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of
0.40 or less. And select EN-
ERGY STAR qualified win-
dows and doors for greater
energy efficiency.
* Lighting ~ Purchase
compact fluorescent bulbs;
they typically use 75 percent
less energy.
* Appliances ~ It makes
economic sense to buy ener-
gy-efficient appliances. The
initial price is often less than
the cost of running them
over a long period of time.
For a greener home, look for
the ENERGY STAR label
when selecting appliances.
* Daylight - Consider
adding natural light sources
like larger or additional win-
dows and doors to reduce
the need for artificial light.
* Flooring - Buy more
durable and natural sur-
faces like tile, stone, cork,
harvested wood, exposed
stained concrete or bamboo.
Living in perfect harmo-
ny with your relatives may
not be your first choice dur-
ing tough times, but it could
be the most cost-effective.
Remodeling or updating
your home could make the
transition much smoother.

Six Reasons To Love Stainless Steel
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
(ARA) - Glistening metal
discretely mounted beneath
acres of gleaming granite -
clearly, this is not the utili-
tarian stainless steel sink
your grandmother washed
dishes in decades ago . Brief-
ly deemed too industrial-
looking by some designers
to be included in contempo-
rary, upscale kitchens, stain-
less steel is back, better and
more beautiful than ever.
Stainless steel is again
enjoying a place of honor in
American kitchens. Here are
six reasons to love stainless
steel:
1. It's 'Green'
The trend towards
"green" building and decor
is still going strong, with
more homeowners, builders
and designers looking for
materials and practices that
will reduce a home's envi-
ronmental impact. Stain-
less steel tits the "green"
bill because it is recyclable.
And modern stainless steel
sinks, like Houzer's Novus
Sink Series, are often made
from recycled materials. In
addition, stainless steel's
durability ensures years of
use and beauty, minimizing
the need to replace and dis-
card older, worn out sinks -
thereby keeping them out of
the waste stream.
2. It Looks Great
Gleaming, clean-looking
with elegant lines, stainless
steel easily pairs well with
a range of decorating styles
- from modern to contem-
porary to country. Stainless
steel sinks also develop char-
acter as they age. Scratches
in your enamel or solid sur-
face sink might spell the end
for the fixture, but stainless
steel develops a patina of
small scratches over years
of use, lending it a natural
depth of character that can
easily be cleaned and butted
to shine like new.
3. It's Versatile
Versatility is as important
as beauty in modern kitchen
design, and new stainless
steel sinks are more versa-
tile than ever. With design
options ranging from two-
and three-bowl sinks and
the ability to be mounted
beneath countertops, to the
capability of expanding a
cook's usable work space,
stainless steel sinks afford
wide adaptability. Extend-
ing countertop space is a
popular feature, and sinks
like Houzers Novus series
meet the challenge with
two sliding, removable plat-
forms - one with an inte-
grated drainboard -- that are
perfect for meal prep, stag-
ing and cleanup.
4. It's Durable
Stainless steel is rela-
tively light when compared
Add Roses To Your Spring Garden
(ARA) - Stroll your
neighborhood and chances
are you'll spot landscape
shrub roses decorating
someone's garden or back-
yard. Take a drive into town,
and you'll see them planted
at your favorite shopping
center.
If you haven't noticed,
landscape shrub roses have
taken the country by storm.
In home gardens, in con-
tainers and along highways,
these low-maintenance ros-
es bloom continuously from
spring until frost with little
to no effort.
"Anybody can grow
these hard-working roses,
no matter where they live. If
you can grow grass, you can
grow landscape shrub ros-
es," says James A. Baggett,
editor of Country Gardens
Magazine. He likes Knock
Out roses for their drought
tolerance and disease re-
sistance, especially against
black spot.
When designing with
shrub roses, think of them
as you would any flower-
ing shrub, only this one will
bloom continuously all sea-
son and do all the work for
you!
Here are some tips on us-
ing landscape shrub roses in
the garden and throughout
the landscape.
1. Problem Solvers in
Your Landscape
Whether you live in a city
or the 'burbs, have a small
garden plot or large acreage,
the gardening and decorat-
ing possibilities with shrub
roses are endless. Plant
them individually among
other shrubs, annuals and
perennials, in mixed beds
and borders.
2. Pot up a Container
Renowned garden de-
signer Jon Carloftis prefers
to plant shrub roses in con-
tainers. "I like to give them
perfect planting conditions
such as good drainage, rich
soil and the addition of reg-
ular fertilizer that won't be
an overdose to neighboring
plants," he says. The re-
sults are outstanding when
roses are planted in formal
urns or combinations of rus-
tic pots."
From small apartments
to grand homes, containers
filled with shrub roses bring
an understated sophistica-
tion to any sized deck, porch
and patio. Pot them up in
large and small containers,
around a gazebo, poolside,
or your entranceway for the
perfect plant for all seasons.
3. Close to Home
Nothing says simple
elegance like the original
Knock Out rose. Try plant-
ing them "en masse" against
your front porch or home.
The large clusters of cherry-
red blooms say "welcome"
with a generous bloom
cycle of every five to six
weeks. Against your house,
porch or deck, the rich, eye-
popping red color is a sure
winner.
4. Second Look Curb-
side Appeal
Looking for plants with
great curbside appeal that
add year-round beauty?
Cluster shrub roses around
a mailbox or blend with pe-
rennials to create visual curb
appeal. Plant the award-win-
ning Rainbow Knock Out
along with perennials. This
lovely coral pink rose com-
plements any color scheme
and the blo()ni.^ almost look
hand-painted with rich yel-
low at the base. The plant
adds height and color for
maximum curbside appeal.
5. Now You See it - Now
You Don't
Do you have an unsightly
utility unit, shed, trash can.
or pool pump you want to
hide? How about a slope
or a hazardous spot to till?
Group hardy and attractive
roses h)r a show) "cover-
up." fry planting Fink Dou-
ble Knock Out with double
flowers in a cheerful bubble
gum hue. Unfazed by heat,
this hardy shrub rose will
cover up those unsightly
spots with a pink profusion
of color.
6. Borders and More
Want to create a natural
privacy fence in your back-
yard? Shrub roses will keep
wandering children, pedes-
trians or stray dogs out of
the landscape with a color-
ful "living wall" hedge
7. Create an English
Garden
You don't need to dream
anymore about having a
showcase formal garden.
Stake and trim your favor-
ite shrub roses to grow as
small rose trees for the look
and feel of an English gar-
den. Mix in old-fashioned
favorites such as spiraea and
hydrangea to create an envi-
able cottage garden.

to other sink materials, yet
it offers strength and dura-
bility that ensure years of
use when properly cared
for. Modern styles achieve
strength and a modern look
without seams and mount
well under the counter
Stainless is also easy to
clean and naturally germ re-
sistant.
5. It's Budget Friendly
Whether you ha\e the
budget of a home improve-
ment show or a more mod-
est amount to spend on }our
kitchen renovation, you can
Hnd a stainless steel sink to
fit your budget It's possible
to find an affordable, modest
stainless sink for a few hun-
dred dollars. And designer
sinks, like the Novus line,
sell at prices that compete
credibly with high-end de-
signer sinks of more trend)
materials.
6. It's Timeless
Stainless steel lends itself
to the classic clean lines of
many contemporar) kitch-
en designs, litest) les and
tastes. Once a stainless steel
sink becomes the showpiece
o'l a kitchen. Us versalilit)
and durabilit) ensure that
multiple owners will be able
to use and enjoy it lor man)
years.

Crcdit-Card
Changes lo Favor
Consumers
Credit-card changes dic-
tated by federal regulators
were supfH)sed to take effect
by the end of the year. Thev
didn't, llie feds have now
given credit-card companies
(that weren't too pleased
with the changes anywa>) a
year and a half to get ready.
Here are some of the
changes chat will take effect
m the summer of 20 1 0:
• [f your interest rate goes
up. the card company will no
longer be allowed to impose
that higher rale on pre-exii-
ing balances unless a
payment is more than U)
days late.
• When you open an
account, your interest rale
will be disclosed to you, and
the card company wdl be
required to honor that unless
your payments are late.
• No more universal
default. If your credit score
plunges due to not paying a
diflerenl debt, ihe card com-
panies can no longer raise
your rate because of your
payment record to others.
• If you have both purchas-
es and cash withdrawals on
your credit card at ditfcrent
interest rates, the hanks will
no longer be able to apply
your payment only to the
balance with the lowest rate
while the (jiher balance con-
tinues to accrue higher inier-
e-st. Any payment amount
over the minimum will be
applied to tfie higher interest
balance
• Tliere will be no more
arbitrary middle-of-the-day
cutoffs to accept pay mentis.
If a payment is received by 5
p m on a given day. it's con-
sidered as being rei-eived
that day.
• If there are to be changes
to your account, you must
receive 45 days notice.
• You must f)e given an ade-
quate amount of time (21
days) to receive and pay
your bill
• There will l>e no more
two-cycle billing, where
card companies have gone
back to ding you with inter-
est on tfK' same amount a
second time.
Suggestion: Use 2fK)^ to
get orpani/.ed so that you're
never late on a payment
again. Make more than the
monthly minimum pay-
ments and get tfie balances
paid off as scK)n as pc)ssible.
rX>n't give the card compa-
nies any reason to use their
remaining loopholes to raise
ytnir rates There's a gCKxf
chance thai more people are
gfiing to be denied credit, as
the card ..om panics wor. t be
able to flake as much rrioney
with questionable practices.

Quincy-North Girls' Hockey
Eyes Post-Season Berth
By SEAN BRENNAN
The ever-improving
Quincy-North Quincy girls'
hockey program has hit a
Httle bump in the road this
winter, but the future of the
team is still bright.
Q-NQ (5-6 overall, 3-5
in Patriot League/Southeast
South play) last won a game
on Jan, 12 when they defeat-
ed Martha's Vineyard High
School, 4-0, at the Quincy
Youth Arena. Since then the
team has dropped games to
Marshfield HS, Barnstable
HS and Falmouth HS, but
with six games remaining
on the schedule, the team
remains in contention for a
post-season berth,
"We have been improv-
ing as of late," said head
coach Kelli Doolin, "We
have dropped a couple of
games in a row, but, as a
team, we are working on
some things and hopefully
we can pick off where we
started (the team opened
the year by winning four
straight games).
"This team is very young
and we have had some
growing pains on the ice.
The progression we are see-
ing recently speaks to just
how determined and hard-
working these girls are this
season."
With only three seniors
on the roster, Q-NQ has been
receiving plenty of produc-
tion from a number of un-
derclassmen. Junior forward
Colleen Newcomb leads
the team with 10 points and
freshman forward Presley
McLaughlin is right behind
her with nine points.
"The play of Colleen has
helped keep us in games,"
added Doolin, "She is a
leader on the ice and has
been a big help in getting
the team prepared in prac-
tice, Presley, who is just a
freshman, is right behind
her in production. She is
just one of several freshmen
who have been contributing
all season long,"
On defense Q-NQ is in
good hands. Sophomore
goalie Shannon Coleman
has been receiving solid de-
fensive support from seniors
Meg Gillespie and Brenna
Morrissey and junior Anna
By throw,
"With Coleman playing
well in goal and some good
defense from Gillespie,
Morrissey and By throw, we
are starting to click in all
zones," said Doolin, "We
may be struggling to get
wins at the moment, but we
are going to be a very strong
team the rest of the year and
moving forward into next
season."
One of the team's pre-
season goals was to make
the post-season. If the season
ended today, Q-NQ would
probably be on the outside
looking in, but a strong end-
ing to the schedule and some
help from other local teams
could propel them into the
playoffs.
"It all depends on our
record and at what point
(record-wise) becomes the
cut," Doolin said. "It was
one of our goals to make the
post-season and at this point
we have some work to do to
get there. With six games
left, the opportunity for
Q-NQ is still on the table."
This young team has
nowhere to go but up. The
team is expected to graduate
only three players this year
and will have six juniors
back to go along with three
sophomores, four freshmen
and nine eighth graders. If
things progress like Doolin
believes it can, Q-NQ just
may be a dominant force
in girls' hockey for the next
few years.
"This is a talented group
of young players. Each game
we are starting to improve
in all three zones (offense,
defense and special teams)
and they are learning from
the mistakes that have been
made.
"The one great thing
about them is that they
never stop playing, no mat-
ter the score. For a young
team that is good to see as
a coach. I believe that next
year they will be even better
as a team and some of these
tough losses will turn into
wins."
Quincy-North Quincy

team on Wednesday (Jan.
28) and will host Boston
Latin Academy on Saturday
(Jan. 31) at 3:10 p.m. at the

Raiders Headed For Post-Season;
Presidents Have Work To Do
The North Quincy Red
Raiders and the Quincy
Presidents are both chug-
ging along this season on
the frozen surface.
North Quincy, which lost
its first Patriot League game
of the winter on Sunday to
Hanover High School, 4-0,
is currently sitting in second
place in the league stand-
ings behind Pembroke High
School. The Raiders (8-3-2
overall) have a 6-1-1 Patriot
League record while Pem-
broke is on top with a 7-0-1
mark.
These two teams played
to a 2-2 deadlock earlier
this season. A highly antici-
pated rematch between the
Red Raiders and the Titans
will be held on Feb. 4 at the
Quincy Youth Arena (7:10
p.m.), and if things fell
into place later this week,
it could be a game for sole
Ix)ssession of first place in
the league.
Before now and then,
North Quincy was sched-
uled to host Middleboro HS
(Jan. 28) and will play Whit-
man-Hanson HS at the QYA
on Friday (7:50 p.m.).
Against Hanover, North
(^ncy was shutout 4-0.
The win gives Hanover a
6-7-1 record. With their first
league loss, North Quincy
now has an uphill battle to
the league championship,
but another trip to the Divi-
sion II South Sectional post-
season seems to be in the
cards.
North's charge to a
league title and another
playoff berth has been
helped by the play of seniors
Brandon Gilmore, Joe Vial-
pando, Paul Reardon, Matt
Rodriguez, Scott Richard-
son, Kevin Chenette, Brian
McLean, Bobby Fontana
and Evan Verhault. Junior
goaltender Matt Brundige
has held opponents to just
over two goals per game.
For the Presidents (3-6-
1 overall, 2-5-0 in Patriot
League), time is running
out on a repeat appearance
in the Division II South
Sectionals. Quincy lost a
heartbreaker to Pembroke
HS last Saturday, 3-2. The
team evened the score at 2-2
late in the third period, but
the Titans potted the game-
winner with just 40 seconds
remaining in the game.
With games remaining
against Whitman-Hanson
(Jan. 28), Martha's Vine-
yard (Friday, 3 p.m. QYA),
Middleboro (Jan. 31), Scitu-
ate (Feb. 4), North Quincy
(Feb. 7), Silver Lake (Feb.
14) and Winchester (Feb.
16), the Presidents need to
get back to the .500 mark to
earn their spot in the post-
season.
Quincy will look to its
more experienced skaters
to get them there. Seniors
Jeff Giordani (a past ACL
all-star in goal), Scott Valla-
tini (captain), Mark Gilbody
(captain), Shawn Dowling,
Pat Young and Zach Mc-
Caul (captain) have been
there before and should pro-
vide the leadership needed
to win some critical games
down the stretch, while ju-
niors Kevin Keith and Jim
Finn should provide some
underclassmen support.
If you are a fan of high
school hockey then mark
down Feb. 7 on the calen-
dar. The Red Raiders and
the Presidents are scheduled
to meet for the third time
this winter at 7:50 p.m. at
the Quincy Youth Arena.
Quincy won the first game,
4-3, and North Quincy won
the middle game, 4-0.
The Quincy Youth Hock-
ey Squirt "A" team recently
traveled to, played in and
won the Waterville Valley
Deep Freeze tournament on
Jan. 18-20.
The Bobby Harvey Fam-
ily sponsored the team. Har-
vey, a 28-year old Quincy
Point native, was tragically
killed back in August when
a portion of the 150-ton
legs of the Goliath crane at
the Fore River Shipyard,
which at the time was be-
ing dismantled, collapsed
prematurely. Harvey grew
up playing hockey at the
Quincy Youth Arena and
once scored the first goal
for Quincy High School in a
state championship game.
The team began their
championship weekend with
a pizza party sendoff hosted
by the Harvey family. The
team was given some Bob-
by Harvey sweatshirts and
hats before heading off to
Maine.
In their first game of the
tournament, Quincy tied the
Richfield, CT Lions, 2-2.
On Saturday in the second
game, Quincy again played
to a tie. This time the team
played to a 2-2 draw against
Buriington,MA.
With a 0-0-2 record after
two games played, Quincy
needed to beat the team
from Wellesley, MA in order
to advance to the champion-
ship game. Quincy came out
flying and crushed Welles-
ley, 8-0.
In the championship
game on Monday, Quincy
played Burlington for a sec-
ond time. Quincy started the
game off on fire by going up
3-0, but Burlington stormed
back with three goals to tie
the game at 3-3 in the sec-
ond period. After the coach-
ing staff called a timeout
in order to settle down the
team, Quincy responded
with an offensive outburst.
Quincy scored four unan-
swered goals and ended up
winning 7-3.
"The kids were very ex-
cited," said Quincy coach
Mike Wood. "1 am proud to
coach a group of kids that
worked so hard this past
weekend. They are great
kids and great families.
"These kids persevered
without the help of two
second year players which
makes me even more proud
of the work they did."
The championship roster
included Thomas Pugsley,
Max Durham, Katy Meehan,
John Feeney, Adam McCor-

Presidents Need To Get
Hot To Make Post-Season
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
have some work ahead of
them if they want to be play-
ing when the Division II
South Sectional post-season
starts up after the February
school vacation week.
Following a 61-47 loss
to Duxbury High School
last Sunday, the Presidents
are currently looking at a
4-7 record. With nine games
remaining on the schedule,
Quincy needs to win six-
of-nine games to qualify.
Boys'
Basketball
Not an impossible task, for
sure, but to get there the
team needs to start playing
a complete game for all 32
minutes.
"Right now at 4-7 we
need to win six of these nine
remaining games," said head
coach David Parry. "Our
biggest problem right now
is that we have no margin
for error. We carmot afford
to turn the ball over and not
get shots on offense. With
the young team we have, we
cannot afford to make these
types of mistakes.
"I am encouraged by our
level of intensity, but we
need to play all 32 minutes.
We cannot have moments or
stretches in a game where
we let up.
"When we get up on
teams we need to focus
on maintaining that lead.
Some of our inexperience
allows teams to get back

Quincy Notches Second Victory, Defeats Middleboro
By SEAN BRENNAN
A busy week of basket-
ball saw the Quincy Presi-
dents finish 1-3, with the
team's lone victory coming
last Friday against Middle-
boro High School, 52-34.
With a month of basketball
yet to be played, the Presi-
dents currently have a 2-11
record.
Quincy opened last week
with a 67-47 loss to Hanover
HS, followed with a 59-40
loss to Plymouth South HS
in a non-league game, the
win over Middleboro and
ended the week with a 58-22
loss to Duxbury HS.
"We are looking for tan-
gible evidence of improve-
ment as the season moves
along," said head coach Jeff
Bretsch. "The girls are start-
ing to find their roles and
come together as a unit. If
everyone plays well we can
be much better this year and
next On defense we have
been solid, but we are still
struggling to get into a flow
on offense.
"We are young but we are
improving each game."
Against Duxbury, Quin-
Girls'

cy played a well-executed
defensive game, but could
get nothing going when they
had the ball on offense. The
Presidents held the Dragons
to season-low 19 first-half
points, but managed to score
only 7 points in the half.
"We played them very
tough," added Bretsch.
"Holding them to 19 fijst-
half points was great, but
they didn't allow us to get
anything moving on of-
fense. I was proud of how
well Olivia Berry and Col-
leen Tobin played defense
against Duxbury. No com-
plaints about our defense."
Last Friday against Mid-
dleboro, Quincy started the
game off fast on offense and
held a commanding 36-19
advantage at break. Junior
forward Leslie Campbell
scored eight first quarter
points and Tobin contrib-
uted 10 points in the second
quarter.

into games. We need to be
less tight in those situations
and good things should hap-
pen."
Quincy had all it could
handle against Duxbury.
The Dragons (14-0 overall)
are the best team in the Pa-
triot League and one of the
better teams on the South
Shore, and they flashed their
mettle in the 61-47 win over
the Presidents.
With super-senior Doug
Scott leading the way with
19 points, Quincy and Dux-
bury were tied up at the end
of one quarter of basketball.
At the halftime break, Dux-
bury had pushed their lead
to nine points, but Quincy
cut that deficit down to
five points at the end of the
third.
The Dragons, behind 24
points from senior guard
Mark Brust, expended that
five-point advantage in the
fourth and came away with
the 14-point victory.
"Duxbury is a good team
and we played with them ok
for most of the game," add-
ed Parry. "But we had some
periods where we just could
do nothing right and we
made some bad decisions at
critical points and it cost us
in the end."
The Presidents had been
hoping that some of the mo-
mentum from last Friday's
thrilling 71-70 overtime
win against Middleboro
HS would carry over into
the Duxbury game. Against
Middleboro, Scott was the
star, though he did get help
from fellow senior John
Parry and sophomore Seth
Pullum.
Scott finished with 35
points and 10 assists. His
four most important points
came in the overtime ses-
sion. With his team trailing
by three points and with just
20 seconds remaining on
the game clock in the extra
period, Scott buned a long-
range three-pointer to tie the
game at 70-70 and moments
later he connected on one-
of-two free throws to give
Quincy the 71-70 victory.
"Doug was just being
Doug," said Parry. "He's
been invaluable form us this
season and probably even
more valuable as a leader.
He's like having another
coach out there. He's mature
and has a great way with his
teammates."
Parry (1 1 points, 10 re-
bounds) and Pullum (14
rebounds) also played well
for the Presidents against
Middleboro.
The nine games that re-
main on the docket are some
tough matchups, including a
rematch with North Quincy
on Feb. 7. Quincy has. in
order, games against Ran-
dolph (Jan. 27). Scituate
(Jan. 30). Duxbury (Feb 3).
Silver Lake (Feb. 6). North
Quincy (Feb. 7), Whitman-
Hanson (Feb. 10) and Hing-
ham (Feb. 12). Quincy will
also be playing in the annual
Vin Moscardelli Tourna-
ment Feb. 16-17.
"We will play who we
have to play." said Parry
"Our schedule is tough and
the road ahead should be
challenging. We will take it
one game at a time.
"If we can keep games
close in the fourth quarter
anything can happen, but.
like I said before, with some
of the youth on the team we
need to eliminate mistakes
and rely on our more expe-
rienced leaders to carr\ us
through "'
Notes: Doug Scott, who
broke the QHS scoring re-
coxd of 1 .348 points against
Hingham HS on Jan. 7. is. at
press time. 23 points away
from establishing a new city
record. That record, cur-
rently held by Sarah Stan-
ton (2(X)4 NQHS) at U533
points, should be smashed

American Cancer Society Launches Charity Runner Program
Local Runners Encouraged
To Help The Fight Against Cancer
The American Cancer
Society has launched its
Charity Runner program in
Massachusetts providing lo-
cal running enthusiasts the
opportunity to make their
miles more meaningful.
Official race partners of
the Charity Runner program
in the state include the up-
coming Hyannis Marathon
(Feb. 22), a Boston Mara-
thon qualifier, and Boston's
Run To Remember (May
24). Through the Charity
Runner program, runners
are able to dedicate their
run in honor or in memory
of a loved one with cancer,
while raising funds for the
fight against this devastat-
ing disease.
The American Cancer
Society has a select num-
ber of entries for each race
for those wishing to run
as a Society Charity Run-
ner. Previously qualified
and registered runners for
the Boston Marathon (April
20) may also choose to raise
funds for the American Can-
cer Society through Charity
Runner.
'Thousands of athletes
across the country have ex-
perienced the journey of a
lifetime by dedicating their
participation in endurance
events to the fight against
cancer through the Ameri-
can Cancer Society Char-
ity Runner program," said
Holly Randall, Society Proj-
ect Manager for Endurance
Events.
"We are thrilled to bring
this opportunity to both new
and veteran runners in Mas-
sachusetts."
In addition to the part-
ner races in Massachusetts,
there are several Charity
Runner events around New
England including the Sug-
arioaf Maine Marathon,
the KeyBank Vermont City
Marathon, the Cox Sports
Marathon/Half Marathon in
Providence, and the Man-
chester City Marathon/Half
Marathon in New Hamp-
shire.
Fundraising minimum
commitments vary by
race. Since 1996, more than
4,000 athletes nationwide
have helped raise $5.2 mil-
lion through Charity Run-
ner, enabling athletes of all
levels to turn their passion
for half-marathons, mara-
thons, triathlons, or cycling
races into a lifesaving effort
to fight cancer.
The American Cancer
Society dedicates funds
raised to fuel the most prom-
ising research; to spread
lifesaving cancer awareness
messages; to advocate for
screening opportunities for
all people; and to ease the
cancer burden for people
facing the disease through
practical day to day and
emotional support.
In return for their fund-
raising efforts, American
Cancer Society Charity
Runners will receive many
benefits, including:
• A personalized website
to assist in fundraising ef-
forts
• Complimentary local
training
• Exclusive American
Cancer Society racing shirt
• The opportunity to
dedicate their participation
in memory or in honor of a
loved one touched by can-
cer.
For those unable to run,
but still interested in getting
involved with the efforts of
the American Cancer Soci-
ety, there are volunteer op-
portunities for each mara-
thon or race.

For more than 35 years,
the American Cancer Soci-
ety has, through its Daffodil
Days program, been mak-
ing a difference in the fight
against cancer and provid-
ing hope for those facing the
disease.
Although Daffodil Days
involves offering daffodils
to donors every spring in ap-
preciation for their contribu-
tions, it is about more than
just giving beautiful flow-
ers; it is an opportunity to
share hope for a world free
of cancer.
This year, Massachusetts
marks the official launch of
Daffodil Days with "50 Days
of Daffodils" - a marketing
effort to publicly announce
Jan. 26 through March 2 as
the official period for daffo-
dil order-taking, awareness
of daffodil products avail-
able this year, launch of the
www.cancer/daffodils in-
teractive website, volunteer
recruitment and an oppor-
tunity to showcase how the
Society is working locally
to help cancer patients and
their loved ones.
"We are excited by the
hope and spirit that Daf-
fodil Days brings to those
who have supported the
campaign year after year,"
says Tina Papadopoulos,
director of Special Events
for the American Cancer
Society. "This year, we are
working toward expanding
that reach into each Massa-
chusetts community, alert-
ing them of the opportuni-
ties to get involved and how
even a $10 dollar donation
can make a tremendous dif-
ference for neighbors and
friends faced with a cancer
diagnosis this year," she
added.
Daffodil Days offers a
bouquet of products for the
public.
• For a $10 gift, donors
receive a bouquet of ten
fresh daffodil blossoms.
• Three mini -daffodil
bulbs in a soil filled pot are
available for a $15 dona-
tion.
• A bouquet of 10 daffo-
dils and a Boyd's collectable
stuffed bear for a $25 dona-
tion.
• Gift of Hope: daffodils
are delivered to a cancer
patient undergoing treat-
ment. $25
Flower and product oi-
ders can be placed from Jan.
26 through March 2 by call-
ing the American Cancer
Society at 1.800.ACS.2345
or making an online dona-
tion at www.cancer.org/daf-
fodils. Delivery coincides
with the start of spring, the
week of March 16.
Dollars raised through
Daffodil Days enable the
Society to offer free pro-
grams and services that
help people fight cancer
with courage and optimism,
while it provides day-to-day
help, emotional support, and
24-hour information to help
ease the cancer experience.
Additionally, daffodil con-
tributions provide the Soci-
ety with much-needed dol-
lars to fund groundbreaking
cancer research, educate
people about the importance
of cancer prevention and
eariy detection and advocate
for meaningful public health
policies.
Yoga
Lately Vm trying to prac-
tice relaxation, or chilling
out, as my kids like to say. I
have a lot of nervous energy.
It's a fact. My grandma used
to tell me so. Says I got it
from my mom.
So I'm trying to tame my
inner worrier, my inner fuss-
budget, that voice that tells
me I can't sit down until I get
one more thing done, or
wakes me in the middle of
the night with a list of things
I didn't know I needed to
worry about. As in: "Hey,
you, get up and wring your
hands about .something!"
Naturally, I do as it says.
It 's exhausting. And makes
me feel a little ... what's the
word ... edgy.
So I went on a search for a
yoga video that promises
inner tranquility, that pro-
motes a sense of well-being
with deep stretches and
deep, relaxing breathing.
Now this was no easy task,
because there are about a
hundred yoga videos, mostly
by well-known exercise
gurus who also promote
knee-pounding, bun-lifting
cardiovascular routines. I
didn't know I'd have so
many choices, which totally
stressed me out.
But then I found a video
with a picture on the box of a
woman, and she's smiling,
looks relaxed and is quite
limber. So I plunked down
$15.
First, however, you mu.sl
buy the goodies that will
help you be a superb yoga
person. All serious yoga peo-
ple will tell you so. So I
examined mats, and again
the selection can overwhelm
a person like me. There were
beginner mats, deluxe mats
and some that look a lot like
the mat I used to take naps on
in kindergarten. There also
are yoga clothes — some
made of organic materials
such as hemp. It's important
to be fashionable, but envi-
ronmentally friendly, as you
twist yourself into a pretzel.
I selected a mat and decid-
ed my old gym clothes
would have to do.
Finally, I was ready to learn
how to relax.
I watched as the instructor
demonstrated the bridge
pose, where you lie on your
back, roll your shoulders
under you and bring your
torso toward the ceiling. It
hurt. My bridge was a lot like
the one in London: It kept
falling down. And the next
day, I woke up with a crick in
my neck.
Then I tried something
called a downward dog pose.
You bend forward and place
your hands on the floor,
stretching them out in front
of you as much as possible,
all the while trying to keep
your balance and not .scream
because your hamstring
muscles feel as if they're
being ripped in half. If you
are trying to picture this
pose, think of the wooden
yard ornaments of the plump
old lady bending over in her
garden. Its not a pretty sight.
My initial attempts at yoga
were quite awkward. But the
instructor assures me my
body will get used to bend-
ing in ways that are just not
natural. Good. I was begin-
ning to worry about that. She
smiles and talks in a calm
voice as she stretches her
right leg to the ceiling and
says, "Remember to pay
attention to your breathing."
I guess that means I mu.st
stop holding my breath.

'*TVue sorrow makes a silence in
the heart" and we think even the most
obtuse among us know enough not to
intrude on such feelings. At such times,
however, there is work that must be
done - and we, at the Deware Funeral
Home do it competently, quietly and
without intrusion.
This is the essence of our approach
to funeral service. We are successful, if months later, when
grief has been partially submerged, our efforts are remem-
bered gratefully as having softened somewhat the jugged
edges of bereavement.
We realize that making funeral arrangements either
in advance or when someone you love dies requires many,
many decisions. We realize that there are many needs to be
met, concerns to be faced and preferences to think about.
We believe that the key to a worry-free funeral arrange-
ment, both before need or at need, is careful counseling
with an experienced and trusted funeral director. At the
Deware Funeral Home, we are here at any time to talk to
you about the options. And remember the decisions will be
yours. Satisfying your needs and desires is always our main
consideration . . .

Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Taking some time out of
your usually busy social life
could be just what you need
to help you focus on putting
those finishing touches on
your plans for a possible
career change.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A misunderstanding
about a colleague's sugges-
tions could create a delay in
moving on with your pro-
posal. But by week's end, all
the confusing points should
finally be cleared up.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) You might feel over-
whelmed by all the tasks you
suddenly have to take care
of. But just say the magic
word — help! — and you'll
soon find others rushing to
offer much-needed assis-
tance.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Finishing a current pro-
ject ahead of schedule leaves
you free to deal with other
upcoming situations, includ-
ing a possible workplace
change, as well as a demand-
ing personal matter.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Turn that fine-tuned
feline .sensitivity radar up to
high to help uncover any
facts that could influence a
decision you might be
preparing to make. Devote
the weekend to family activi-
ties.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) A state of
confusion is soon cleared up
with explanations from the
responsible parties. Don't
waste time cha.stising any-
one. Instead, move forward
with your plans.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) You might feel
obligated to help work out a
dispute between family
members. But this is one of
those limes when you should
step aside and let them work
out their problems on their
own.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Your ability
to resolve an on-the-job
problem without leaving too
many ruffled feathers earns
you kudos from co-workers.
You also impress major deci-
sion-makers at your work-
place.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem
ber 22 to December 21)
Newly made and long-held
friendships merge well, with
possibly one exception. Take
time to listen to the dis-
senter's explanations. You
could learn something
important.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Be pre-
pared to be flexible about
your current travel plans.
Although you don't have to
take them, at least consider
suggestions from the experts
in the travel business.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) A problem
with a recent financial trans-
action could lead to more
problems later on unless you
resolve it immediately. Get
all the proof you need to sup-
port your position.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Daydreaming
makes it difficult to slay
focused on what you need lo
do. But reality sets in by
midweek, and you manage
lo get everything done in
lime for a relaxing weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your ability to reach out to
those in need of spiritual
comfort makes you a much-
revered, much-loved person
in your community.

52 Inches So Far
Snowstorms Cost
City $2.2M And
More To Come
By TOM HENSHAW
If there is such a thing
as global warming, it hasn't
reached \n inter-weary Quin-
cy yet — and neither have
the bills to pay for it.
As of Tuesday morn-
ing, on the authority of
DPW Commissioner Larry
Prendeville. the city had
spent $2.2 million to re-
move some 52 inches of
snow even as more was
starting to fall and workers
stood by to repel another
wintry assault.
Since the token amount
for snow removal in the
municipal budget is only
$30().(XK) that leaves the
city at least $1.9 million in
the hole with fully half the
season left to go
The difference will have
to be made up by an appro-
priation in the Fiscal 2010
budget.
"We're expecting four
to six inches in this storm.'
said Prendeville. "It'll be a
prolonged storm so we'll use
a lot of material It's hitting
during the day so we'll have
to work swiftly on the main
roads and the side roads and
around the schools.
"Fortunately we have
plenty of salt and sand."
Thus far this season, he
said, the DPW has used
1 2 j)fX) tons of salt at a cost
of $925,500. and 4.500 tons
of sand at S54.(KKJ. Out-
side plowing contractors
have cost S881.(XK) and
DPW workers have drawn
S330.(KK) in overtime
Prendeville held his the
usual meeting with his aides
to plan their attack, then
they kept a wary eye on the
vveather forecasts
"It looks like we'll be
here through the evening."
he said.
Raymondi Calls For Slowdown
Quincy College In Official
Move For Independence
Quincy College is thriv-
ing, has a multi-million
dollar capitol fund, and has
long been eager to break
free of its ties with the city.
College officials believe
the time is now; in fact,
some believe the time was
yesterday.
In an effort to make a
clean break. College Presi-
dent M. Sue Harris recently
prepared a Home Rule Peti-
tion for state legislative ap-
proval and submitted it to
City Councillors for review
prior to Monday's meeting.
Mayor Thomas Koch.
officially, sponsored the
Quincy College petition for
independence when it was
presented to City Council
this week.
The college must win
the approval of both the
mayor and the City Council
in order for the issue to be
considered by the state leg-
islature.
But the issue never got to
the City Council floor.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi objected. His
objection tables all action
and discussion of the matter
until another council meet-

ing when the proposal must
be resubmitted.
Raymondi believes the
city should not act in haste,
stating that such a break
demands ngid scrutiny and
the city's taxpayers should
be compensated.
Residents invested con-
siderable money through
real estate taxes in Quincy
College when it was strug-
gling in Its early years, ac-
cording to Raymondi who
served on the college's first
Board of Overseers.
The college was founded
in 1958 and subsidized by
taxpayers until 1981 when
It first became self-suffi-
cient. While taxpayers have
not paid any debts of the
college in the intervening
years. Raymondi believes

Household Recycling Up 15%
Household recycling in-
creased 15 percent in just
the first six months of the
City's new cost-saving
trash collection contract and
stepped-up recycling pro-
gram. Public Works officials
said this week.
'This is a great start to
the program, but 1 know
we can continue to recycle
more," said Mayor Thomas
Koch. "This program is
a win-win for Quincy: It
saves money during tough
economic times, and it is the
right thing to do for the en-
vironment."
Residents recycling more
means they are throwing
away less garbage, and the
data backs it up. The amount
of municipal solid waste col-
lected since the new contract
started in July is down 1 ,000
tons compared to the same
time period in the prior con-
tract. The city pays nearly
$87 to dispose of every ton
of trash, so savings are now
at $87,000 halfway through
the fiscal year, Koch said.
Those savings are on
top of the contract savmgs
the city brokered when it
joined with Braintree and
Weymouth to regionalize
trash collection in the three
communities. The buying
buyer of the tri-city group
increased competition and
led to a contract with Capitol
Waste Services that will save
$150,000 this year.
The new recycling pro-
gram, called "Single Stream
Recycling," allows for all
recyclables to be placed in
the same container without
separation by the resident or
at curbside by the collector/
vendor.
This commingling allows
for less costly collection
process because all separa-
tion occurs at the materials
recovery facility, said John
Sullivan, the program direc-
tor for the Department of
Public Works.
Quincy is one of only a
few Massachusetts towns
still receiving revenue for
its recyclables. Due to a
decline in the demand for
recycled materials most cit-
ies and towns are actually
paying for their recyclables
to be disposed. Quincy
however, negotiated a guar-
anteed fixed price for its re-
cyclables, Sullivan said.
The contract for collec-
tion services also allowed
for added support with out-
reach and educational ob-
jectives.

Quincy is becoming a
'safe haven' for sex offend-
ers fleeing other jurisdic-
tions, according to two city
councillors who want to
slam the door on Level 3
sex offenders moving to city
neighborhoods.
Over 110 Level 2 and
Level 3 sex offenders cur-
rently live in Quincy, ac-
cording to Ward 3 Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin who,
with Ward 5 Councillor
Doug Gutro, co-authored an
ordinance aimed at restrict-
ing Level 3 sex offenders
Coughlin said, "...we in
Quincy with 94 Level 2 and
23 Level 3 (sex offenders)
have the highest number
of registered sex offend-
ers within our geographic
borders of any community
south of Boston.
"Quincy should not,
despite what some people
would think, become a safe
haven for any aberrant be-
havior or any conduct that
denigrates the quality of life
for its citizens."
."One is too many," said
Gutro who, also, quoted
statistics indicating that sex
offenders are most likely to
re-offend and said it is "im-
perative" that the council act
quickly on the jointly spon-
sored ordinance.
Gutro noted that Wey-
mouth has successfully
enacted a similar resi-
dency ban and said, "The
time has come to provide
that level of protection."
Gutro also wamed that the
council should act quickly
before more outcasts from
other cities and towns move
to Quincy. He noted that one
of Weymouth's banished
sex offenders said, "He will
move to Quincy."
The proposed ordinance
would ban Level 3 sex of-
fenders from living in most
city neighborhoods and
would create safety zones
to protect children and el-
derly residents and read as
follow:
"It shall be unlawful for
any Adult Criminal Level 3
Sex offender to establish a
residence or any other liv-
ing accommodation within
(1500) feet of the property
on which a school, park,
elderly housing facility, li-
brary or recreational facil-
ity open the to the public is
located."
Similar residency leg-
islation has passed in 22

states and cleared judicial
challenges, according to
Coughlin
In addition, the ordi-
nance would ban registered
sex offenders from visiting
or loitering near designated
"Safety Zones," such as
schools, libraries, daycare
centers, parks and elderly
housing.
Another provision would
require permanent bulletin
boards posting registered
level 3 sex offenders at
Quincy City Hall, Quincy
Police Department, the
Thomas Crane Library and
the administrative areas of
all public schools and day-
care facilities.
The city's website would
also display official postings
with a link to the police de-
partment website.
Councillor John Keenan
wamed that the ordinance
might be "difficult to en-
force" as the proposal may
leave some neighborhoods
unprotected and open to an
influx of offenders.
As examples, Keenan
noted that several areas in
Squantum and Houghs Neck
would be "unprotected ar-
eas", as they do not meet the
guidelines.
The proposed ordinance
might result in "pushing the
problem into another neigh-
borhood... This doesn't
solve the problem," said
Keenan, adding that coun-
cillors must be careful, "We
are not pitting one neighbor-
hood against another."
Following the discus-
sion, councillors sent the
ordinance to advertising and
the Ordinance Committee
for further study.
Persons who have owned
homes or established leases
prior to enactment of the
ordinance would not be af-
fected.

Koch: 'New Quincy High
School On Time And Budget'
Mayor Thomas Koch
says that the Science and
rechnoh)gy wing of the new
Quincy High School will
be "on time and on budget"
when it holds its first classes
on Feb. 23.
"There is still plenty of
work to be done, but 1 am
proud of the work by the
entire team to cut costs and
get this phase of the project
finished without adding a
penny to the bottom line,"
Koch said. "It is the same
directive going forward for
the rest of the project: On
time and on budget."
In early 2008, Koch
reached an agreement with
the Massachusetts School
Building Authority to elimi-
nate a controversial portion
of the project that slashed
nearly $1 million from the
cost of the $126 million
project, which was fac
ing cost overruns when the
mayor took office.
The High School Build-
ing Committee, he noted,
also cut $2.9 million in
"value engineering" from
the project to get it back on
budget after a five-year peri-
od beginning in 2003 when
the project's cost increased
by more than $50 million.
Since then, project offi-
cials also fixed what Koch
said was a potentially di-
sastrous design flaw relat-
ing to underground utilities,
mitigated an underground
oil tank issue at the site,
uncovered dozens of bills
for architects that were
paid late between 2005 and
2008. Those issues were all
resolved without affecting
the overall budget of the
project.
A formal ribbon cutting
for the new Science, Math-
ematic and Technology
Academy will be held on
Feb. 22 at I p.m. The rest of
the school is scheduled to be
opened to students in Sep-
tember 2010.
"The Superintendent,
Principal, Building Com-
mittee and the School Com-
mittee have worked tireless-
ly on this project for many
years, and it is great to see
that work producing posi-
tive results," Koch said. "I
also wish to thank that state
School Building Authority
for working so closely with
the City over the last year,
and I look forward to con-
tinuing that relationship as
we move forward on other
important projects for our
schools."

THE HISTORY CHANNE
• On Feb. 4, 1789, 69 mem-
bers of Congress cast their
ballots to elect George
Washington the first presi-
dent of the United States.
After months of appearing to
sidestep, and even outright
rejecting, the idea of assum-
ing the presidency, Washing-
ton reluctantly accepted
Congress' decision.
• On Feb. 7, 1812, the most
violent of a scries of earth-
quakes near Missouri causes
a so-called fluvial tsunami in
the Mississippi River, actu-
ally making the river run
backward for several hours.
One of the tremors in the
series cau.sed church b«lls to
ring in Boston, more than a
thousand miles away.
• On Feb. 6, 1820, the first
organized immigration of
freed slaves to Africa from
the United States departs
New York harbor on a jour-
ney to Sierra Leone in West
Africa. The expedition was
partially funded by the U.S.
Congress, which had appro-
priated $100,000 to be used
in returning displaced
Africans to Africa.
• On Feb. 2, 1887, Ground-
hog Day, featuring a rodent
meteorologist, is celebrated
for the first time in Punx-
sutawney. Pa. According to
tradition, if a groundhog
comes out of its hole on this
day and sees its shadow,
there will be six more weeks
of winter weather; no shad-
ow means an early spring.
• On Feb. 8, 1924, the first
execution by lethal gas in
American history is carried
out in Carson City, Nev. The
executed man was Tong Lee,
a member of a Chinese gang
who was convicted of mur-
dering a rival gang member.
• On Feb. 5, 1937, Presi-
dent Franklin Roosevelt
aimounces a controversial
plan to expand the Supreme
Court to as many as 15
judges. Critics immediately
charged that Roosevelt was
trying to "pack" the court
and thus neutralize Supreme
Court justices hostile to his
New Deal.
• On Feb. 3, 1959, rising
American rock stars Buddy
Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P.
"The Big Bopper" Richard-
son are killed when their
chartered Beechcraft Bonan-
za airplane crashes in Iowa a
few minutes after takeoff

The Blizzard Of '78
V
J
(Following is a reprint of the Feb. 16, 1978 Sunbeams
column on how Quincy coped with the Blizzard of '78
31 years ago this week. Out of which came 27 inches of
snow and a spirit of togetherness.)
It was a storm you would like to forget but will vividly
remember for as long as you live.
Awesome. Devastating. Furious. Horrendous. Mean.
Terrible. You may have even a stronger one- word de-
scription.
But as bad as it was with the suffering and the losses
it brought-in lives and damages-and the inconveniences,
it had one nice side effect; it brought out the best in most
people.
People opened their hearts and extended helping hands
to those in need. Not just neighbor helping neighbor, but
stranger helping stranger.
A feeling of togetherness and unity descended upon
the area in a way we hadn't seen since World War H.
People were united again by catastrophe. They shared a
common cause: survival. And they were more than will-
ing to make personal sacrifices to help one another get
through the ordeal. Most important: they cared for one
another.
Houghs Neck and Germantown were the hardest hit in
Quincy. Squantum got pretty well battered, too.
Compared to neighbors in Hull and Scituate, however,
Quincy overall was lucky, as far as damage and other
losses were concerned.
But Quincy got its fair share of the record near 27
inches of snow. The city was virtually paralyzed during
most of the week. Business came to a costly standstill.
Overall, we think the city of Quincy deserves a "well
done." New Mayor Arthur Tobin certainly has gotten his
baptism under fire. He had been in office just 34 days
when he got hit with the two worst snowstorms in our
history.
We got a chance to personally observe him during this
second storm-the all-time champ in fury and meanness-
and saw a man calm and in complete control of the situa-
tion. He never reached for the panic button.
And so it was, all down the line.
Public Works Commissioner James (Pete) Ricciuti
proved an able general as his army of weary workers
fought around the clock to win the Big Battle of the
Snow.
There were many others who did an outstanding job
during the long hard week: Police, firefighters. Civil De-
fense units, nurses and doctors and hospital employees,
snowmobilers, school personnel, and many volunteers
in varying shapes and sizes who all pitched in to help
Quincy residents in need.
There were many unsung heroes - and many of them
will never be known except to those directly affected.
Of course, it wasn't all 100 percent peaches, cream
and let's-all-sing-together. A lot of people came down
with cabin fever in their homes. And even in snowfight-
ing command centers where workers were cooped up
for days under very trying circumstances, tempers flared
now and then.
And there were gripes. About, for example, some peo-
ple who managed to slip their cars by officials during the
travel ban to stock up on food while most people had to
trudge to stores on foot and lug small amounts of grocer-
ies home in their arms or on sleds.
Some didn't like the way their streets were plowed.
Someone complained about snow being pushed against
his fence, and another into his driveway. And there was
the story about the guy who harassed one of the plow
operators to the point where the latter stopped his truck,
got out and flattened him.
And there was another one about the weirdo who tele-
phoned a resident to report that his wife, who was in the
hospital, had died. Police brought the grief-stricken man
to the hospital; the story goes, where he found his wife
very much alive.
That cruel prank, meanwhile, delayed police from tak-
ing needed medicine to another resident with high blood
pressure.
Most of those and other similar incidents will be for-
gotten by the time the first robin gets up enough courage

to put in an appearance here.
But there is one character we hope will not be forgot-
ten: the looter.
Fortunately, for Quincy, there were only isolated cases
of looting although some homes are still empty and could
yet be plundered.
The looter, in our book is a creep-a wart on human-
ity. He takes advantage of a tragic situation to steal from
homes evacuated because of floods or lack of heat. Or
steals from stores where windows have been blown in.
We hope anyone arrested for looting and convicted
after a fair hearing gets what he should: severe punish-
ment.
We hope judges here in Quincy and elsewhere feel the
same way about that. The looter deserves no sympathy.
He is as bad as the thief who steals from the blind;
the bully who picks on the invalid and the rapist whose
victim is innocent.
Overall, Quincy came through it well. And most of us
may even be better off in the long run for the experience.
It sure humbled us.

Scenes From Yesterday
«h«^Aw> M.
THIS IS A 1934 postcard showing the old granite
railroad bridge over Furnace Brook Parkway in West
Quincy. Locals knew it as Echo Bridge because of its
resonating qualities. The bridge was torn down to build
the Southeast Expressway along the right-of-way of what
was the Granite branch of the Old Colony Railroad. The
branch line ran from the Atlantic Bridge on Hancock
Street in North Quincy across the Montclair marshes
serving stations in Montclair, East Milton and West
Quincy. It rejoined the main line just south of today's
Quincy Adams station. The Granite Line was built on
part of America's first railroad right-of-way, w hich is
where it got its name. It ran for almost 70 years from
1871 to 1940. The Montclair station was near Vershire
Street in the Hillside section, the East Milton station
was near today's Sheldon Building on Adams Street
and the West Quincy station was at Biondi's service
station on Willard Street. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail

Quincy Firefighters Association Most Grateful To Many
On behalf of the Quincy
Firefighters Association, I
would like to thank the citi-
zens and businesses in the
City of Quincy for opening
your homes and businesses
during the funeral of the
tragic death of Boston Fire
Lieutenant Kevin Kelley.
It is in difficult times like
this that we see how thought-
ful the people in Quincy
really are. The businesses
and homes, along with St.
Ann's School, that opened
their doors to the thousands
of firefighters from all over
the world that attended the
funeral so they could get in-
side for a hot coffee and re-
freshments during the wait
in the frigid temperatures,
will never be forgotten.
We would also like to
thank Mayor Koch and his
administration for the help
to insure that the ceremony
would go without a hitch,
and the Public Works De-
partment for the excellent
job they did ensuring the
area was clear for the pro-
cession.
Also a special thanks
to our brothers and sis-
ters in Public Safety and
the Quincy Police Depart-
ment. Thank you Chief Paul
Keenan, the Superior Of-
ficers, and the Quincy Po-
lice Patrol Officers for all
that you did. Words cannot
say how much we appreci-
ate what was done for our
Brotherhood that day. The
officers that volunteered
their time and all the others
that donned their uniform
that day to ensure all went
well. Any out-of-city fire-
fighter that may have missed
their nde back to Boston; the
Quincy Police were there to
ensure someone would get
them back safely. They went
above and beyond the call of
duty to make this sad day a
little better for all involved.
Thank you again.

Local 792
lAFF-PFFM
Commends Sun For Its Evenhanded News Coverage
There's been no shortage
of media covering the cur-
rent economic crisis. Unfor-
tunately, even the local press
can become more concerned
with spinning stories to fit
publishers' political aims
than with educating the pub-
lic in fairness and truth.
For this reason, I com-
mend The Quincy Sun for
its evenhanded reporting of
the efforts of our city coun-
cillors and the mayor's of-
fice during 2008.
I applaud The Sun's cov-
erage that reported the hard
work and fiscal restraint our
councillors displayed but
rarely got credit for. All too
often, I read little but criti-
cism of them for their recent
passage of a property tax in-
crease .
The Mayor's office has
not been spared acrimony
either. I have read many
protests of the tax increase.
In some cases, they ap-
peared to be retaliation over
unrelated issues such as Mr.
Koch's non-support of gay
marriage or a track at Pag-
eant Field.
Then there are the com-
plaints against the Mayor's
redecorating of the mayoral
office. Whether by residents
or local media, the perpe-
trated image is that the May-
or has gone Leona Helms-
ley on us. The truth is that
Mayor Koch's supported
opulence cost us taxpayers
about one-hundredth of one
percent of the City budget.
Much ado about nothing,
but it makes for great politi-
cal mud slinging.
No mayor can adversely
affect the lives of his con-
stituents while in office just
months. Yet, among the
various cities I've lived in,
Tom Menino may be the
only mayor I've ever seen
so flippantly criticized or
maligned in his first year.
I'm thankful for The
Sun's positive reports on
the accomplishments of the
Koch administration, espe-
cially in cost savings pro-
grams achieved or sought.
They more accurately por-
tray the Tom Koch I've
known for 20 years: dili-
gent, honest, forthright, and
responsible.

Senior Center Long Overdue
Quincy is a wonderful
city. I have used the trans-
portation services provided
by the Quincy Council on
Aging for many years. In the
past, I enjoyed volunteering
in the COA office.
1 can tell you first-hand
that, in spit of the lack of
space there, the staff has al-
ways managed to cheerfully
serve Quincy 's seniors.
It is about time that the
seniors in Quincy will have
a center to call their own. It
is long overdue and 1 com-
mend Mayor Koch for his
leadership.
I am delighted for ev-
eryone and look forward to
having a real opportunitv
to make new friends, and
spend time in our soon to be
"seaside home away from
home."

70-Hour Work Week

mous vote .i_i__i»i_i^_
First change in the working houis
of the local hrehghters in more than 20
years, the law reduced the workweek
of the men from an 84-hour week
.Mayor Ihomas .S Burgin estimated mmmmmm^m^^mmt
that acceptance of the act would mean
the addition of between 15 and 18 men and an additional
cost of 531 , OCX) in annual hre department salaries
VETO MESSACiE FROM BlRtHN
With the suggestion that the Cit> Council attend to its
business and let Cit> Solicitor John D Smith attend to his.
Ma\()r Burgin informed the Citv Council that he had \eioed
a resolution requesting Cit\ Auditor Leo .\lullin to "obtain a
legal opinion relative to judgment in favor of the Brookes-
Skinner Companv."
Commenting on the S 5. 792 .^7 judgment awarded to
Brookes-Skinner for work done on the unhnished addition
to the citv hospital, which Burgin authorized under an emer-
gency order, he said
".Mav I suggest to the Cit> Council that the citv's legal
affairs are the responsibilitv ot the cit\ solicitor and ma\ I
further suggest that if the Citv Council would attend to the
legislative affairs of the cii> and permit the solicitor to at-

saved."

'Bats At The Library' Discussion Feb. 7
"Bats at the Library" will
be on the agenda Saturday,
Feb. 7, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
in the Community Room of
the Thomas Crane Public
Library, 40 Washington St.
No, it's not a real infesta-
tion of the flying mammals
but the discussion of a book
wntten and illustrated by lo-
cal author Brian Lies as part
of a campaign to promote
family literacy.
In the book, a colony
of friendly bats sneak into
the library after hours and
become so captivated by
Storytime that they fail to
notice the light of dawn
bringing their adventure to
a close.
The program, a RISE
(Reading Is So Exciting)
Family Event, is co-spon-
sored by the Thomas Crane
Public Library and South
Shore Day Care Services.
Lies (rhymes with
"cheese") recognized the
importance of encouraging
kids to enjoy reading and
remembered the time when
he started to lose interest in
books.
"When I first learned to
read, I was an avid reader,"
he said. "But around third
grade, 1 slowed down. The
library shelves seemed too
intimidating, and it was hard
to find book that I liked.
"Then my mother signed
me up with a book club
which sent me a new hard-
cover every month, and 1
looked forward to each new
book. The reading habit
kicked back in and has stuck
with me ever since."
"I worry about many of
the students 1 meet when I
visit schools — kids who
say, 'Oh, I don't read books,'
in an offhand way.
"Kids who see imagina-
tion as an unnecessary extra
best left to the 'artsy' kids,
rather than as a powerful
skill as important in sci-
ence, professional sports or
any trade as it is in creative
fields.
"Learning how to think
clearly and creatively is
probably more impor-
tant than learning what to
think."

"In talking with Susan
Gill-Hickey of the Finding
Hope for Children program,
we realized that there were
15 kids who were not re-
ceiving services from any
other agency, and we de-
cided they could use a little
extra holiday cheer," said
Stacey Sylvester, Victim
Services Advocate.
She and Sheriff Michael
Bellotti personally deliv-
ered the gifts to QMC where
they will be distributed to
children in the program.
"One of my main goals
as Sheriff is to emphasize
the rights of victims in our
community," says Bellotti,
who created the first-ever
Victim Services Unit at the
Norfolk County Sheriff's
Office. "If we see a need we
will do what we can, work-
ing with agencies like Quin-
cy Medical Center, to fill
that need. In this case, we
got to play Santa for some
very deserving kids."
The mission of the Sher-
iff's Victim Services Unit is
to provide information and
support services to crime
victims, their families and
other concerned individu-
als. The unit works closely
with the Finding Hope for
Children program at Quincy
Medical Center.
"The Finding Hope For
Children Program is so
grateful to the dedicated
staff of the Norfolk County
Sheriff's office for their
overwhelming generosity
in sponsoring our families
this Christmas," said Gill-
Hickey. "Each day, the FHC
staff witness the amaz-
ing strength of the human
spirit through its work with
families struggling to break
the cycle of violence. The
commitment shown to these
families by the Sheriff's De-
partment will go a long way
to aid in the healing process
necessary for these families
to win this all important
struggle."

Laforest Steps Down As HNCC Head
To Run For City Council Seat
Atlantic Middle School
Lists 139 On Honor Roll
Margaret Laforest has
resigned as president of the
Houghs Neck Community
Council, as required un-
der its bylaws, to run for
the Ward 1 seat on the City
Council.
"I had a great time serv-
ing as president of the HNCC
and will remain active with
the organization," she said.
"I would like to thank ev-
eryone for their support of
the HNCC, our events and
community programs.
"Best wishes to incom-
ing President Brian Laroche
and Vice President Jim Mc-
Carthy as they continue the
HNCC's service to the com-
munity."
The Committee to Elect
Margaret Laforest will host
a campaign kick-off fund-
raiser Wednesday, Feb. II,
from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Fox
& Hound, 1233 Sea St.,
Merry mount. The suggested
donation is $20.
Tickets and/or more in-
formation is available by
calling Alison McCarthy at
617-773-5920.
Laforest said that run-
ning for the Council seat
currently held by Leo Kelly
is a natural extension of the
work she has done on a vol-
unteer basis for many years.
"As a fifth generation
Quincy resident, I believe
that my personal and profes-
sional experience uniquely
qualify me to represent
Ward 1 on the City Coun-
cil," she said.
"I am a passionate person
who looks for ways to help
others and I am proud of my
many years of professional
services and extensive work
as a volunteer for the Quin-

The Senior Stay Out
Committee, headed by
Kathy Moreschi and Gail

to businesses, politicians,
teachers and parents for help
in replacing the lost items.
"The time, effort and
cost to replace what was lost
are well beyond the means
of the Senior Stay Out
Committee," they said.
"Tax-deductible dona-
tions of cash, gift cards or
any type of product prizes
for the kids would be greatly
appreciated."
Checks made payable

"It would be a shame to
have to cancel this event and
leave close to 400 seniors
and their dates with no place
to go after the prom due to
funding," said the commit-
tee.
'This is always a night
that parents, teachers and
law enforcement worry
about with teenagers on the
road after the prom.
"This after prom "all

of 2009 a safe place to go.

it's .v/>j nian kuai le time
again in Quincy 's Chinese
community.
That's Happy New Year
to the rest of us as we en-
ter the Year of the Ox in the
Chinese Zodiac, an animal
known to be dependable,
modest, calm and possessed
of an open and honest na-
ture.
For the 21"" year, the
Quincy Lunar New Year
Festival, now one of the larg-
est such celebrations in the
state, will be held Sunday,
Feb. 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 4
p.m. in North Quincy High
School.
There will be a variety of
free and festive programs,
including the traditional
lion dance, an array of Asian
food, games and crafts for
the kids and traditional and
modern dance and music .
The ox, or sometimes
known as the water buffalo,
represents the second year
of the Zodiac, after the rat
and before the tiger, dragon,
snake, horse, sheep, mon-
key, rooster, dog and bear.
In Chinese mythology,
the Jade Emperor threw a
birthday party for himself
and told all the animals of
the world that the first 12
to arrive at the party would
be given their own Zodiac
years.
But to reach the party,
they would have to swim
one of the fastest rivers in
the land.
While the others hung
back from the raging tor-
rent, the rat leaped aboard
the strongest of them all, the
ox, and rode across, jump-
ing off in first place while
the ox finished second.
Tradifionally, the holi-
day celebration opens with
fireworks, signifying good
riddance to the old year and
a welcome to the new, but
fireworks are now banned in
China and most other ven-
ues.
The festivities end
with the giving of the Red
Packets, envelopes of mon-
ey symbolizing luck and
wealth and typically given
to the younger generation by
parents and grandparents.
Last year's Lunar Festival
in Quincy drew an audi-
ence esfimated at 6,000 and
more than that are expected

Once all building and
demolition phases are com-
plete, the school will, also,
boast a courtyard with
benches, trees and grass,
enhancing the campus ef-
fect of the project.
Santoro described such
high-tech details as inter-
active whiteboards, a small
greenhouse fueled by solar
power, laptop computers ac-
cessible to all students, and
Dolby sound systems,
"The whole building is
wireless." Said Santoro.
The students will "have
a clicker system and the
teacher will know (instant-
ly) which students get the
answers correct." Santoro
said, describing the use of
interactive whiteboards.
Teachers can write on the
whiteboards from any spot
in a classroom and students
just click their answers.
Such state of the art
equipment is important,
but not as important as the
"interdisciplinary approach
to learning" or shared dis-
ciplines that the building
layout will foster, said San-
toro.
Santoro noted that, on all
three floors, the mathemat-
ics classrooms are across the
hallways from such student
labs as office technology,
electrical studies, physics,
and chemistry. The biology
classrooms are opposite the
nursing program and all dis-
ciplines are integrated with
like courses.
"Subjects are connected
by an inter-disciplinary way
of teaching," said Santoro
who pointed out that even
the teachers' staff rooms
will be equipped for shared
disciplines on each of the
three floors.
That will allow teachers
to prepare classes in concert
with other teachers in relat-
ed subjects.
For plumbing and elec-
trical students, the skeletons
of realistic mock rooms and
houses are already con-
structed. Students will use
these rooms for hands-on
experience installing wiring
and piping.
For culinary arts stu-
dents, huge mixers and ov-
ens, refrigerators and stoves
fill the kitchens where stu-
dents will prepare foods for
the school's 85-seat restau-
rant and bakery shop.
Santoro said the restau-
rant will, also, have outdoor
seating in the courtyard in
good weather, "We're go-
ing to do some theater (in
the restaurant), with singing
waiters and waitresses."
That will allow the dra-
ma students additional out-
lets for their talents.
The new 128,000 square
foot wing also features a
150-seat lecture hall which
will complement a larger,
800-seat auditorium planned
for Phase 3 .
This wing completes the
second phase of the city's
$126 million high school
project.
Initial planning for the
new high schcx)l began
neariy a dozen years ago
under the Mayor James

Ward Three Council-
lor Kevin F. Coughlin has
renewed his requests from
prior years that the City of
Quincy provide convenient
public access to its vari-
ous financial documents by
posting them on its website.
"Transparency and ac-
countability are the most
important principles in
terms of creating and keep-
ing a bond of trust between
citizens and those they elect
as the trustees and stewards
of the city's financial well
being." Coughlin said.
"It is, 1 believe, critically
important that we provide
as much easily discernible
information as possible in
the most accessible for-
mat. Copies of the current
and prior Annual Budgets,
Comprehensive Annual
Financial Reports, Audits,
Management Letters, Capi-
tal Improvement Plans all
should be readily available
along with executive sum-
maries in plain language
"More and more resi-
dents want to understand in
simple terms the full picture
of the city's revenues and
expenditures, short term and
long term financial planning
and how it comes together "
Coughlin has introduced
a City Council resolution
calling for this to take place
on a new city website re-
portedly to be unveiled this
spring.
"1 think that citizens want
to be engaged in the process
especially when they watch
the financial discussions
that take place at Council
meetings dunng the year
and most especialK when
the proposed budget is be-
ing discussed and debated,"
Coughlin said.
"Having these docu-
ments at hand will allow
that participation to occur.
Municipal and stale govern-
ments across the nation are
taking great strides to in-
volve their residents.
"Some," Coughlin con-
tinued, "like former Iowa
Gov. Tom Vil sack's office
have launched w ebsites spe-
cifically designed to explain
the budget process and al-
low visitors to tr> their own
hand at balancing the bud-
get Vilsacks interactive
website allowed citi/ens
access to the same informa-
tion used by his office when
developing the executive
budget.
"Citizens read the gover-
nor's "requests tor results."
the "results offers" submit-
ted b> state agencies, per-
formance indicators, and
even the "cause-and-effect
maps" used b) the bud-
geting team to explain the
causal links between ser-
vices, environmental influ-
ences and the end results

"Although we are not at
that level of technical on-
line sophistication 1 believe
we can still emp<}wer citi-
zen participation by giving
them the information they
need and deserve." Cough-
lin added

attended its recent annual
meeting for a yearly update
on the hospital's growth, fi-

The Foundation wel-

or "corporators", including
Milton Hospital Chief of
Gastroenterology George
Barrett, M.D., Milton resi-

McCarthy and Randolph

Four members of the

Hospital President Joseph

the stories of two employ-
ees recognized for their out-
standing dedication to the
hospital and its patients.
When an anxious patient
forgot to bring a favorite
doll to the hospital, peri-
operative nurse Maureen

nerves by creating a make-

Morrissey said.

Morrissey Bill Seeks
Tax Relief For Vets
Sen. Michael Morrissey
has filed legislation that
would provide additional
property tax relief for' cer-
tain seniors, veterans and
veterans organizations.
One bill would abate tax-
es for soldiers during their
deployment.
Another would allow a
tax exemption for certain
estates of incorporated vet-
erans organizations valued
at less than $1 million.
"I feel that it is only fit-
ting that we continue to pro-
vide any financial assistance
available to our brave veter-
ans and their organizations,"
said Morrissey.
Gov. Deval Patrick signed
into law last year a bill to al-
low the town of Braintree to
grant full tax abatements to
soldiers during their terms
of deployment.
The Quincy City Council
this year passed a similar
measure that has yet to be re-
viewed by the Legislature.
MICHAEL MORRISSEY
Morrissey also has filed
a bill that would set a flat
filing fee of $25 for per-
sons over the age of 65 who
have gross incomes of up to
200 per cent of the federal
poverty level who appeal
their assessment to the State
Appellate Tax Board.
"The process of appeal-
ing a property tax assess-
ment can be a costly en-
deavor and this legislation
seeks to give some of our
lower fixed income seniors
the opportunity to seek an
appeal at a reasonable fee
for them," said Morrissey.
Currently, the fee for fil-
ing is based on the value of
the property.
For updates or questions,
call Morrissey 's office at

because the competition for
food is minimal in these
waters this time of year. We
have been seeing and hear-
ing reports of harp seals in
Quincy waters for years
The ice and beaches give
them a chance to get out of
the cold water and rest."
The NE Aquanum does
have a set of guidelines that
they ask people to resjject in
situations such as this one
They ask that people remain
at least 150 feet away from
the harp seal, as this species
can be aggressive towards
humans. They also request
that if you a see a harp seal
and have a dog with you , that
your dog remain leashed.
"It is great to watch these
seals, but you should not get
\oo close," LaCasse added
"People who are seen harass-
ing them can be prosecuted
under the Manne Mammals
Protection Act. You actions
may be well-intentioned but
they can be aggressive, so
stay a safe distance away "
LaCasse did state that if
you notice any trauma to a
harp seal's face, or mucus
around the seal's eyes or
nose, to call the NE Aquar-
ium at 617-973-5247 with
a specific descnption and
location and they will send
out a field volunteer to in-
vestigate, but do not attempt
to help the seal yourself
"There is adequate food
(fish) for them here and the
cold weather and coastal ice
makes an attractive habi-
tat, these are the reasons
we have seen an increase
in sightings since the mid-
1990s," LaCasse said "And
they come out of the water
all the time to rest. People
need to respect their space
and enjoy their presence
from a safe distance."

Valentine's Day Romance Tips For All Relationships
(ARA) - Valentine's Day
is the most romantic day of
the year, but it can also be
one of the most challenging.
If you are a new couple, how
do you express your feelings
without going overboard? If
you are an established cou-
ple with work and family
responsibilities, where can
you find the time to arrange
a romantic evening?
The answers are actu-
ally very simple. Just ask
Rochelle Lulow, creative
director at American Greet-
ings, who immersed herself
in everything love to su-
pervise the creation of the
newest romantic cards from
the greeting card company.
As they conducted focus
groups, poured over re-
search and sat down to talk
to consumers about their
relationships, Lulow and
her team gained insight not
only into the perfect card,
but also what makes for the
perfect bond.
"Valentine's Day is all
about your relationship,"
says Lulow. "And the very
best way to celebrate is to
just focus on what makes
the both of you happy, and
what makes your relation-
ship so unique."
Lulow and her team offer
some basic tips for celebrat-
ing your romance, no mat-
ter what stage you're at as a
couple.
New Couple
or Just Flirting
You may have just started
dating or are still working
up the nerve, but either way
there is some chemistry, so
embrace it. Go on a double
date to lessen the pressure
of a night alone, while not
losing the intimacy by going
with a large group
Keep your gift light and
simple, but thoughtful. Bum
a CD for your sweetheart
and pair it with a fun e-card
or even a quick text mes-
sage to let him or her know
you're interested.
Growing Couple
You have moved beyond
mutual attraction to some-
thing more. Slowly you are
learning the subtleties that
make each of you who you
are. You love spending time
together, but are still at the
stage where you have to
work around schedules.
To get in the romantic
spirit, use the whole week
leading up to Valentine's
Day to arrange mini -dates.
Monday, enjoy game night.
Tuesday, watch a favorite
show or movie together.
Wednesday, skip the gym
and get dessert. Thursday,
make up for the mid-week
treat by working out togeth-

er. On Friday, Valentine's
Day eve, slip out of work a
little early and go out for a
light dinner and movie.
Show your sweetie how
well you know him or her
with a gift that reflects his or
her interests. Get tickets to a
game for a sports nut, a first
edition of a favorite novel
for a book lover, or a basket
of kitchen gadgets for your
favorite chef.
Established Couple
You have committed to
one another and now you
are both looking forward
to your future. You are also
juggling a lot of responsibil-
ities, which can make plan-
ning difficult.
With Valentine's Day
falling on a Saturday this
year, take some time and go
on a weekend trip. Visit a
nearby city you have never
seen and stay in a cozy bed
and breakfast to enhance the
romance.
Keep your gift simple
by treating your significant
other to a random day of
kindness. Present break-
fast in bed, flood the house
with sticky notes featuring
compliments and favorite
memories, and round out the
day by preparing a favorite
meal.
Committed Couple
You two have been lucky
enough to experience many
of life's most important
milestones together. Valen-
tine's Day is now all about
remembering the great
memories you have already
made, and looking forward
to making many more.
Combine romance and
nostalgia by re-enacting
your very first date. As you
reminisce, take some time to
discuss doing a few of those
things you have always
promised yourselves, but
never quite gotten around
to.
Revisit favorite memo-
ries with a customized photo
book. Include favorite pho-
tos, but also be sure to add
small mementos such as
love notes and cards to ticket
stubs or theater programs.

Rosy Tips For Valentine's Day
(NAPS) - Roses reign su-
preme for Valentine's Day.
A well-known statement of
love, for many, sending ros-
es is the perfect way to say
"I love you."
To make this loving gift
a long-lasting one, follow
these tips from Julie Mul-
ligan, lifestyle expert from
1 -800-FLOWERS.COM.
• Always use clean vases
or containers.
• Fill the container about
3/4 full with warm water
and floral food.
• Removes leaves that
will be under the water
while in the vase, as they
will rot.
• Give each stem a fresh
cut on an angle while hold-
ing the stem under water to
prevent air from getting in
the stem.
• Place the vase in a cool
spot, away from heat.
• Change the water and
flower food every three
to four days and recut the
stems.
From roses to tulips to
orchids to lilies, there are
flowers to please all the im-
portant people in your life
this Valentine's Day, says
Mulligan.

Here are three tips that
can help promote heart
health:
I) A little red gift your
heart will love.
Many of us know that
omega-3 fatty acids are im-
portant for heart health and
have decided to supplement
our diets with fish oil in or-
der to benefit from these
omega-3 s. But did you
know there's another source
for omega-3s th^t is'stnaller
and easier to take than bulky
fish oil softgels and also
three times more powerful
for supporting cardiovas-
cular health? It's krill oil ...
and it's a gift you should
give your heart each day.
Krill oil is supplied from
krill, tiny shrimp-like crus-
taceans that inhabit the cold
ocean areas of the world.
Like fish oil, krill oil con-
tains essential omega-3 fatty
acids. However, the omega-
3s in krill oil are linked to-
gether in a different form
- a more soluble structure
that is easily absorbed by
our bodies. Just one krill oil
softgel, about the size of a
coffee bean, supports a key
marker of cardiovascular
health better than three large
fish oil softgels, without the
fishy smell or aftertaste.
MegaRed Omega-3 Krill
Oil from Schiff is shown to
be safe and effective in clin-
ical trials. Krill oil promotes
cardiovascular health and
maintains cholesterol levels
within the normal range.
The antioxidant astaxanthin
found in krill oil, which
gives it its red color, neutral-
izes free radicals - harmful
metabolic by-products that
damage cells and tissues
throughout the body. Visit
www.schiffmegared.com or

more.

Jewelry Gift Ideas
For Valentine's Day
Every year, Valentine's
Day is looked at as one of
the biggest gift-giving holi-
days of the year. Addition-
ally, many use the holiday
to drop down on one knee
and pop the big question.
The following jewelry
ideas will help you pick out
the hottest jewelry this Val-
entine's Day:
• Engagement ring: If
you're looking to propose
to your significant other
this Valentine's Day, look
beyond the four Cs and se-
riously consider the setting.
With an engagement dia-
mond purchase, a premium
is paid for a quality dia-
mond, and you won't want
to diminish that investment
with a metal that won't
complement the beauty
and longevity of the stone.
Platinum will hold your
diamond more securely, and
since it's naturally a white
metal, it will maximize the
diamond's sparkle. Designs
that range from modem
styles by Martin Flyer to
vintage-inspired looks from
Tacori can accommodate all
types of diamond cuts.
• Gifts for him: One of
the most popular Valentine's
Day gifts for men-stylish
watches from companies
like Frank Muller, Vach-
eron Constantin and Jacob
& Co. -pair masculinity with
durability in Platinum looks
that are perfect for dressing
up or down. If you're look-
ing for a different approach.
Platinum cuff links also
make a good choice for that
businessman with a sense of
panache.
• Platinum pendants:
From the runway to Hol-
lywood's A-list. it's all
about layering this season.
Look to layering Platinum
pendants in oval, heart and
square shapes for a distmct
flair this year.

With A Healthy Heart
Cont'd From Pa^e 16
2) A heart-healthy eatmg
plan for you and your fam-
ily.
Eating heart-healthy
doesn't have to mean bland
foods that don't satisfy. Try
new recipes and think cre-
atively with f(M)d. Here are
some guidelines:
Meat: Choose lean meats
to help cut down on satu-
rated and trans fat. Poultry
without the skin, and red
meat and pork labeled 'loin'
and 'round' usually have
less fat. Grill, bake and broil
instead of frying. Jazz up
meat with different herbs
and spices.
Dairy: Whole-fat dairy
products are a thing of the
past. Look for low-fat ver-
sions of milk, butter, yogurt
and cheese that are often just
as tasty. If you're finding
that switching is hard, do it
gradual!) For example, mix
whole milk with I percent
until >t)ur taste buds adjust
Snacks: Snacks aren't
bad if you choose the right
ones. Avoid options that
contain trans fat. High-so-
dium and high-sugar snacks
are not good choices either
Instead. tr\ real fruit or cut-
up vegetables
3) Get moving for a hap-
py heart
.Now that you're eat-
ing right and getting your
omega-3s and antioxidants
with the krill oil supplement
you're taking, the final step
is to incc^rporate phvsical
activity into your daiiv lite
If you're able to attend a
gym. get a partner involved
and encourage each othei
If you don't visit a gym. fry
working out at home in front
of the TV or go outside and
do some yard work
Help your whole family
gel heart healthy by plan-
ning a tun activity together
each week. Go for a nature
walk, lake a bike nde. bnng
the dog to a park, take fami
ly dance lessons or try a new
sport .New and interesting
activities make a great gift
for the family or your sig-
nificant other
February may be the
shortest month o\ the Near,
but there's no good reason
to short-change your heart.

Ice and Snow Tips
Q, Tliis is our first win-
• ter in th« Northeast
— my husband and I
moved from a wanner
state — and I must say the
snow and ice are a real
pain. Do you have any tips
to deal with snow shovel-
ing and Icy walkways? —
Doris in Connecticut
A, My first tip is, get to
• know your neighbors,
because there's nothing bet-
ter than having some help
when clearing your sidewalk
aiKl walkway. A next-door
neighbor with a snow blow-
er is worth his weight in gold
after a big storm. But here
are some other hints to make
shoveling a little bit easier:
— As soon as a snowstorm
winds down, head outside
and begin shoveling. The
snow is not packed as heavi-
ly at this point, so you can
move more of it off the
walks with less effort.
— Never "load" the shov-
el. Scoop up snow until ihe
shovel is about a third full
and then lift the shovel to
dump the snow to the side of
the walk.
— Use your shovel to
scoop the snow and push it
to the side, rather than lift
and toss. You won't get worn
out as quickly.
— Never shovel snow
from your walk into the
street. In most municipali-
ties it will earn you a cita-
tion; it creates a hazard and
annoys the heck out of
neighbors.
— If you need to move a
lot of snow farther than the
end of your shovel, fill a
wheelbarrow rather than
walking back and forth sev-
eral times.
Dealing with icy walks is
an even bigger problem,
since it's typical for snow to
melt slightly during the day
and then freeze hard at night.
Reduce your chance of slip-
ping by:
— Spreading a mixture of
salt and sand along the walk-
ways after shoveling. The
sand provides traction; the
salt keeps water from freez-
ing right at the freezing
point.
— Walking with knees
slightly bent in case you hit a
slippery patch — never lock
out your knees.

Quick And Easy Spring Cleaning Tips
(ARA) - Annual spring
cleaning doesn't have to
be a yearly, back-breaking
cleaning marathon. Regular
maintenance is easy with a
few simple steps and will
keep the dirt from piling up
so you can skip the once a
year event that everyone
dreads.
Hannah Keeley, lifestyle
expert and host of the PBS
program "Hannah, Help
Me!", offers quick and easy
spring cleaning tips for the
whole family to follow.
Get a game plan
Divide your home into
four zones - eating areas,
living areas, sleeping areas,
and bathrooms. Each week,
focus on cleaning just one
of the four zones. Spreading
out the chores will mean a
lighter effort throughout the
year instead of a buildup of
gunk waiting for a spring-
time scrub-down. Be sure to
make note of the zones on
your calendar so you don't
get swept up (no pun intend-
ed) and forget all about it.
Get organized
Cut the clutter. Stacks of
papers, boxes and miscel-
laneous junk can be mag-
nets for dust, dirt and more.
Clutter takes up the majority
of your housework, usually
about 80 percent, so if you
cut out the clutter, you'll
significantly cut your clean-
ing time. Find storage con-
tainers to organize and hold
your family's possessions.
Even your kids can help out

- attach picture labels to

can easily identify where
their belongings should go.
Have fun
Turn every day clean-
ing chores into fun, family-
friendly activities. Chase
your kids around the room
while vacuuming. Blast
your family's favorite play-
list and invite the kids to
dance around the house with
you while dusting. Or, when
washing dishes, use the
soapy water to blow some
bubbles with the kids. With
a little creativity, seemingly
boring household chores be-
come fun games faster than
your family can say "Mary
Poppins."
Make your house do the
work
Does your home work
for you or against you? If
your air filtration system is
truly efficient, there should
be little dust to clean up.
This is especially impor-
tant in the spring when the
world comes into bloom,
which can lead to poor in-
door air quality and aggra-
vate allergies and asthma.

Block Annoying
Automated Sales
Calls
We now have a way to qpt
out of yet another of life's
annoyances: tite pre-record-
ed telemarketing call. Those
calls have been the scHirce of
more than one answering
machine running out of
recording lime when the
pre-recorded message went
on too long or didn't discon-
nect at the end. Equally irri-
tating has been picking up
the phone only to find a pre-
recorded sales pitch and no
identifying number on the
Caller ID.
New Federal TrjKie Com-
mission reguljuions now
make it possible to opt out of
receiving those pre-recorded
telemarketing calls. Not
(Mily will there be a way to
make that change if the
ph(me is answered in person,
but any message that's left
must also include qpt-out
information.
If you answer in person,
ymi must be given a way to
immediately opt out while
the message is still playing.
This wilt likely be acomi-
plished by pressing a certain
number on the phone cr say-
ing a cortain word. At tiiat
point, yoar number will be
added to the Do Not Call list
and tl^ call disomnected.
If you're xwi home and
your answering machine

AccuClean whole-home air
filtration system eliminates
up to 99.98 percent of aller-
gens, mold spores and other
microscopic things from
your home's filtered air, al-
lowing you to spend less
time cleaning, all year long.
New studies conducted by
Environmental Health &
Engineering and professors
from the Harvard School of
Public Health show that the
installation of AccuClean
reduces dust accumulation
in the home by more than 50
percent ~ so you can dust
less and still have a health-
ier, cleaner home environ-
ment.
Keeley says she has tried
the whole spring cleaning
thing and found one thing
to be true - it gets messy all
over again. The trick is not
in cleaning your home, but
in keeping your home clean.
With regular maintenance
and some smart steps, you'll
find plenty of time to get out
and enjoy spring, rather than
focus on one massive home
clean-up.

(toll free). That number will
take you to an automated 24-
hour machine, and your opt-
ing out will be immediate.
Not all types of calls faU
under this new regulatitxi,
however. Surveys and politi-
cal calls will still be allowed,
as will health-care mes-
sages.
Imagine: no more pre-
recorded solicitation and
sales messages.
The catch is that die calls
will still be permitted until
September 2009 if there's an
ongoing relaticmship
be^v^n y(Mi and the caller.
After that, the caller must
have specific written per-
mission ftx>m you.
This is where those priva-
cy-notice fliers you get with
correspondence from credit-
card companies and others
will come in handy. Read the
fine print. They ask for your
instructions on whether or
not to give your information
to third parties and affiliates
they deal with. Fill out those
forms denying permission
and send them in as soon as
you get them. It's certain
that telemarketers will con-
sider "ongoing business
relationship" to be a hizzy
line if you, by not respond-
ing to privacy notices, seem
to give permissiw for them
to call.

On Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009, at approximately 2:50
p.m., Officers John Leuchte, Steve Cleary and Paul Mat-
thews were dispatched to Main Street for a "gun" call. In-
formation came from a caller who stated that there were
four males in an apartment and they were "flashing" their
guns around.
Upon arrival, a female
identified herself as the call-
er. She stated that the four
males had been in the hall-
way yelling at her while wav-
ing two handguns around.
She stated that they went
back up the steps and into an
apartment. The officers cre-
ated a plan to cover the exits
of the apartment, with Offi-
cer Leuchte at the back door
while Officers Matthews
and Cleary went up to the front door.
After knocking. Officer Leuchte entered the apart-
ment and observed four males sitting in the kitch-
en. There was a substance on the kitchen table believed
to be marijuana. Officers Matthews and Cleary also came
into the kitchen and saw in plain view, two plastic bags on
the floor that contained smaller bags, containing crack co-
caine and cocaine. Based on the supporting evidence - a
known witness, the description of the males, the apartment
the suspects entered and most importantly, a eyewitness
account of two handguns being handled recklessly, the
males were pat-frisked for weapo-^s and then secured in
the kitchen.
After determining there were no warrants for the four
suspects. Officer Matthews asked if there were any fire-
arms in the house and they stated no.
Suspect #1 appeared very nervous and kept saying,
"Im not from around here, Im from Dorchester." When
asked how long he had been in Quincy on this day. suspect
#1 stated that he just came from the T station. He was
wearing a Red hooded sweatshirt.
Officer Leuchte, knowing that a male fitting the de-
scription of suspect #1 was just involved in a Breaking
and Entering on Copeland Street, sought more informa-

tion.
Dispatch stated that the Copeland Street suspect was
a male in his early twenties wearing a red hooded sweat-
shirt. Officer Millane, who was investigating the break,
notified Officer Leuchte that there was a victim wit-
ness to the break and he would bring him to his loca
tion to arrange a "show up" identification of suspect #1
While waiting for the witness to arrive. Officer Leuchte
observed a black leather bag on the fioor 1 he bag was
open and in plain view was a black facemask.
The Officer moved the facemask and saw a black and sil
ver BB handgun atop three more facemasks. When asked
about the gun and the masks, those in the apartment de-
nied knowing that it was there
Sergeant Dan Flaherty and Detective Brian Coen armed
on scene and spoke with the landlord, who consented to a
search of his apartment. Officer Millane arri' ed on scene
with the witness and the suspect was brought downstairs
to the front porch for a show up ID. Ihe witness confirmed
that the suspect was one of the males who broke into his
house. The suspect was placed under arrest Ihe others in
the apartment were brought out one at lime for a show up
but were not involved with the B&E according to the wii
ness.
When the other suspects were brought back upstairs.
they were all placed into handcuffs along with the land-
lord on a charge of "Possession with Intent to Distribute
Class B." The suspects were placed in separate cruisers and
then Officers* Leuchte and Cleary joined Detective Coen in
searching the apartment.
Officer Leuchte located a small firearm in a cabinet un-
der the sink, next to where one of the suspects had been sit
ting. Officer Leuchte removed the magazine frt)m the Br\co
model .^KO handgun, which held 6 rounds of ammunition

Needs To Win Five Of Last Seven Games
Quincy Defeats Randolph,
Inches Closer To Sectionals
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Presidents have a
huge stretch of league games
coming up this week and
next; and in order to earn a
spot in the Division II South
Sectionals. Quincy has to be
close to perfect the rest of
the way.
After last week's 1-1 re-
cord, the Presidents have to
win five of their last seven
games to qualify for the
post-season. The team is
currently 5-8 overall and 4-8
in league play.
Quincy's quest for a tour-
nament berth got a big boost
with an impressive 65-47
triumph over Randolph HS
on Jan. 27, but a 94-72 loss
to Scituate HS last Friday
puts the team in a spot where
perfection is needed.
"At 5-8 overall it will be
an uphill battle the rest of
the way to get into the post-
season," said Quincy head
coach David Parry. "We are
playing together as a team
right now and we have start-
ed to eliminate some of the
mistakes we were making
earlier in the season.
"But we have some tough
league games remaining, in-
cluding a rematch against
Duxbury on Tuesday, a
big home game this Friday
against Silver Lake and an-
other huge league game ver-
sus North Quincy on Satur-
day. We have our work cut
out for us."
In the Scituate (12-2, 10-
2) game, the Presidents' se-
nior guard Doug Scott was
the leading scorer. Scott
finished with 27 points.
His 27 points vaulted him
into the city record books
as he passed Sarah Stanton
(NQHS '04) for the all-time
city scoring record.
Stanton had held the
record with 1,533 career
points. That was until Scott
passed her with his sev-
enth point of the game. He
currently has 1,555 career
points and counting.
"Doug broke the city re-
cord against Scituate," add-
ed Parry. "He could have ac-
complished the mark in our
game against Randolph, but
we were up late and decided
it was not the best time for
him to do it.
"I have to thank Matt
Poirer, the head coach for
Boys'
Basketball
Scituate, and the school
for how they treated Doug
breaking the Quincy scor-
ing mark. They graciously
stopped the game and pre-
sented him with a game ball .
That is what high school
sports is all about and it was
a great moment for Doug
and our team."
Unfortunately for Scott
and Quincy, the Sailors
completely owned the of-
fensive and defensive glass
and dominated their home
court to earn the 22-point
victory. Dean Kennedy (19
points), Andrew McCarthy
(12 points, 13 rebounds)
and .Marquimm Taylor (15
points) were the leading
scorers for Scituate.
The Presidents started the
game off slowly and soon
found themselves down by
double digits. According to
Parry, the Achilles heel was
his team's lack of rebound-
ing ability against a bigger
team. Scituate, at one point
in the first-half had a 39-9
rebounding edge.
"They dominated us on
the boards early in the game
and we had no answer for
them on the glass. It is very
difficult for us when teams
get more than one chance to
score and that was the case
against Scituate in the first
half."
Earlier in the week Quin-
cy handled Randolph HS
with relative ease; winning
by an 18-point margin on
the road.
Scott finished with 18
points and 15 assists and
sophomore forwards Kevin
McDonagh (12 points, 10
rebounds) and Seth Pullum
(12 points, 1 1 rebounds) and
junior Kusi Adusei (huge
three-pointer) also played
well in the victory.
Quincy jumped out to
20-5 lead after one quarter
and expended that advan-
tage to 28 points entering
the final quarter. The biggest
surprise to the team's quick
start was that Scott did not
score one point; he just de-
cided to dish out assists in-
stead.
"We started off fast, tak-
ing a 20-5 lead after one
quarter," Parry said. "Doug
didn't score a point in that
quarter. He was finding
open shooters and being un-
selfish.
"This was a game in
which we played a full four
quarters and it was by far
our best game passing all
season long. We put on an
exhibition passing-wise.
Big win."
Scott entered the game
looking to rewrite the city
record books, but this night
was not the time to do it.
Once he got to 18 points
(six away from the record).
Parry decided it was time to
take him out and give some-
body else some run.
"Randolph began sub-
bing in players in the second
half, so we did the same,"
he said. "It was a good
chance to get some other
players court time. He could
have gotten it that night, no
doubt, it just wasn't the right
time."
The slate of games this
week may well decide if
Quincy will make the post-
season tournament.
The Presidents were
scheduled to play a game
against Duxbury High
School on Tuesday. The two
teams met two weeks ago
with the Dragons winning
61-47.
This weekend, Quincy
has two huge Patriot League
games on the docket. On
Friday night Quincy will
host Silver Lake HS (6:30
p.m.) in a Keenan Division
matchup and on Saturday
evening the team will play
host to the North Quincy
Red Raiders. Tip-off for
the big city game is set for
6 p.m.
"This week is huge for
us," Parry said. "Duxbury is
a great team and very tough
and Silver Lake is going to
be hungry as they are in a
similar position to us. They
need to win games to make
it so it should be a tough
game and the NQ is always
competitive."
The Presidents finish
their schedule with games
against Whitman-Hanson
(Feb. 10) and Hingham
(Feb. 12) before playing in
the annual Vin Moscardelli
Tournament (Feb. 16-17)
over school vacation week.

Q-NQ Indoor Track Results
The Quincy-North Quin-
cy combined girls' track
team had several solid per-
formances in last Thurs-
day's meet against Middle-
boro High School at the
Reggie Lewis Track Center,
Boston.
The finaJ result was not
as kind to Quincy as the
team lost the meet 60-40.
Winners for Q-NQ in-
cluded a first place finishes
by Erin Collins in the shot
put, Jess Davis in the two-
mile, Alyssa Mullen in the
one-mile and Erica Brady in
the 1 ,000.
Over the weekend at the
MA Open Invitational, Bra-
dy finished fifth in the one-
mile with a time of 5:29.4,
Davis ran a 12:29.4 two-
mile to qualify for States in
that event and Mullen also
ran the two-mile in 12:18.2;
a time that qualified her for
the States in the event.
Brady, Davis and Mullen
all ran their personal bests
for the 2008-09 winter in-
door season.
A Fisher Division cham-
pionship is within reach for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers girls' basketball team.
Following last week,
when the team finished
2-0, with wins over Pem-
broke and a double overtime
thriller against Duxbury, the
Red Raiders currently have
a 12-4 season record and
a 9-3 record in the Patriot
League.
North Quincy played an
all-important league game
on Tuesday night (Feb.
3) versus Hanover High
School, the first place team
in the Fisher Division, and
the winner of that game
would be in the driver's
seat for a division title with
four games to play on the
schedule. Hanover and NQ
entered this game with iden-
tical records, but Hanover
held the advantage because
of a 72-70 victory back on
Dec. 19.
"It is a game that we have
been waiting to play since
our loss back in December,"
said NQ head coach Mi-
chael Jorgenson. "It should
be a very competitive league
game."
The Raiders, last Friday,
earned a win over an over-
matched Pembroke team,
65-44. Senior center Cath-
erine O'Connell recorded
her third double-double in
a row, scoring 12 points and
grabbing 10 rebounds. She

also finished the game with
five blocked shots.
O'Connell received help
from fellow seniors Siobhan
Camell, Kristina Anderson
and Kathleen Lynch. Car-
nell scored 15 points and
had four steals; Anderson
added five points and col-
lected nine rebounds and
Lynch finished with eight
points, seven assists and five
steals.
"We established our-
selves in this game," added
Jorgenson. "You can see we
are heading in a new direc-
tion as a team. We played a
steady game and we played
together. It was a good win.
There was no letdown from
the Duxbury game and the
girls played their hearts
out."
Earlier last week. North
Quincy hosted Duxbury HS
and came away with an im-
pressive 89-85 double-over-
time victory. The Raiders,
at one point in the second-
half trailed by 16 points, but
behind the effort of three
seniors and a sophomore.
North rallied back to take
the lead but Duxbury coun-
tered and rallied back to
force overtime and double
overtime.
Duxbury trailed 70-68
late in the fourth quarter but
hit two free throws to force
OT. In the first overtime,
Duxbury trailed again by
two points and still managed
to extend the game to a sec-
ond OT. But North would
not be denied a huge Patriot
League win.
"Our seniors carried us
in this game," said Jorgen-
son. "We were focused the
moment we stepped on the
court and it showed as the
game went along. One huge
advantage for us was the
conditioning of the team.
"We preach conditioning
all year long and we work
on core training so we don't
wear down in games like
this. It showed as the game
went into OT and then dou-
ble OT. It seemed like Dux-
bury, which had been shoot-
ing lights out, wore down
and we didn't and that was
the difference."
Leading the way for the
Raiders was Siobhan Car-
nell. Camell dropped 34
points on Duxbury to go
along with 11 rebounds and
six steals. Lynch was just as
unstoppable. She finished
with a triple-double; finish-
ing the game with 24 points,
16 rebounds and 10 assists.
The team's two senior cap-
tains scored 58 of the team's
89 points and combined, re-
corded 27 rebounds and 16
assists.
O'Cormell continued her
stellar play of late, finishing
the game with 10 points and
10 rebounds and sophomore
Montana McBimey added
12 points and 11 reboimds.
"Siobhan continues to
play great, as does Cath-
erine, but it was Lynch who
I thought played her best
game of the season," said
Jorgenson. "Jessie Howlett
and Kristina Anderson also
played well and really out
entire senior class stepped
up big.
"It is good to see the team
playing together and playing
with a real focus. That will
be huge as we move forward
this week and into the post-
season."
The Raiders played Ha-
nover on Tuesday night and
are scheduled to play on
the road against Randolph
on Friday and will play the
Quincy Presidents on Sat-
urday afternoon. The game
against Quincy will tip-off
at 4 p.m. in the QHS Gym.

Quincy-North Girls' Hockey Still In Postseason Hunt
By SEAN BRENNAN
A 5-2 loss to Boston I.atin
Academy last Saturday af-
ternoon at the Qiiincy Youth
Arena was frustrating, but
not the be-all-end-all for the
Quincy-North Quincy girls'
hockey program this winter.
The team, at 5-7-0 over-
all, still has an outside shot
at advancing to the Division
II post-season. With five
games remaining, QNQ
needs to reach at least the
.500 mark to qualify, but
unless some of the unlucky
puck bounces go their way
over these final games, a
post-season berth may have
to wait until next year.
"It was a good game, but
very frustrating," said head
coach Kelli Doolin. "It was
back and forth all game long
and we got shots on net but
just couldn't find that lucky
bounce.
"Regardless of the final
result the team continues to
play better and better each

In the Circle District event
at MarshfieldHS, Lenihan, a
fifth grade student at Sacred
Heart School, made 2I-of-
25 free throws to advance
to the Feb. 7 state finals in
Maynard, MA. Lenihan will
be competing in the girls'
10-11 age group.
Evans, a sixth grader
at Central Middle School,
connected on 23-of-25 free

state finals. He will com-
pete in the boys' 12-13 age
group.
The National "Hoop

HEALTH and FITNESS
Exercise Can
Trigger Asthma
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have never been diag-
nosed with asthma, but
when I drink cold bever-
ages or eat ice cream and
when I work out in cold
weather, I start wheezing
and get extreme chest pain.
Is this asthma? What can I
do?—RJC.
ANSWER: You can't give
a better description of asth-
ma.
Asthma is a relatively sud-
den constriction of the lungs'
bronchi, the airways. The
constriction is reversible, but
the amount of time it takes to
reverse varies from person to
person and from situation to
situation. Airway narrowing
makes it tough for air to get
into and out of the lungs. In
addition, during an attack the
airways are inflamed and
they secrete thick mucus.
Both add to the diflRculty for
air to move through them.
Wheezing is a cl^^sic asth-
ma sign. The wheezing noise
indicates ^r is meeting with
resistance in its passage
through the breatihing tubes.
Coughing is another asthma
sign, as is bringing up thick,
sticky sputum. During an
attack, asthmatics often have
chest tightness and pain. A
person need not have all
these signs and symptoms to
have asthma. Wheezing and
chest pain are enough.
Exercising in cold, dry air
is an asthma trigger for
many. The loss of heat and
moisture from the breathing
tubes brings on an attack. I
haven't heard that drinking
cold beverages or eating ice
cream can precipitate an
attack, but I can see how they
might.
What can you do? Get to
the family doctor. The doctor
can confirm the asthma sus-
picion by testing your lungs'
function. Medicines can pre-
vent attacks as well as put an
end to them.
.As for the cold drinks and
ice cream, don't you think it
would be a good idea to
avoid them?
Readers who would like
more information on asthma
can order the booklet on that
topic by writing to Dr. Dono-
hue — No. 602W. Box

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Will pomegranate juice or
pomegranate juice mixed
with blueberry juice lower
cholesterol? I am a heart
patient. — R.F.
ANSWER: Pomegranates
and their juice have risen to
the level of nutritional star-
dom. They contain sub-
stances that stop the oxida-
tion of LDL cholesterol, the
kind of cholesterol that
clings to artery walls and
leads to their obstruction.
Oxidation is like rusting.
Oxidized LDL cholesterol
breaks apart and leads to
clogged arteries. Pomegran-
ates stop Uiis process.
Blueberries are another
nutritional star. They prevent
oxidation too.
I don't know that mixing
them doubles their effect, but
I suppose it might.

Milton Hospital Heart, Vascular Physicians Join
Forces With Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Six leading Milton Hospi-
tal physicians have affiliated
with an innovative institute
at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center that delivers
documented, superior out-
comes and better service to
cardiovascular patients.
Cardiologists Jon W.
Cronin, MD, Philip J. Do-
herty, MD, Wing Kin Fung,
MD, Mark T. Hodgman,
MD, and Scott B. Lutch,
MD, and vascular surgeon
Gregory J. Kechejian, MD,
have joined a network of
community-based cardi-
ologists connected with the
Cardiovascular Institute
(CVI) at Beth Israel Dea-
coness Medical Center.
The practice is located
on the Milton Hospital cam-
pus, where the physicians
are all members of the medi-
cal staff. They welcome new
patients.
"We will continue to
provide heart and vascular
patients with a wide range
of diagnostic services and
care here in Milton," said
Dr. Cronin.
"When their conditions
require complex care, such
as cardiac catheterization,
coronary bypass or certain
types of vascular surgery,
they now will have easy ac-
cess the CVI - the best ad-
vanced cardiovascular cen-
ter in the Boston area."
Beth Israel Deaconess
created the CVI in 2007 by
combining its cardiology,
vascular surgery and cardiac
surgery divisions into a sin-
gle organization.
"The CVI is an unusual,
highly integrated 'hospital-
within-a-hospital' that has
achieved outstanding out-
comes in both medicine and
surgery," according to Dr.
Doherty.
Dr. Kechejian added,
"Heart and vascular health
issues are frequently inter-
related, so it's beneficial for
providers to be, too."
The doctors' offices at
100 Highland Ave., Milton,
are among 16 locations in
Eastern and Central Mas-
sachusetts where Harvard
Medical Faculty Physicians
from Beth Israel Deacon-
ess Medical Center provide
a convenient, local connec-
tion to the Institute.
The Institute, formed
in 2007 from three exist-
ing divisions at Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center,
has been recognized for its
outstanding clinical out-
comes. Thomson Health
Care (formeriy Solucient)
named Beth Israel Deacon-
ess Medical Center one of
the nation's 100 top hospi-
tals for cardiovascular care
in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
U.S. News & World Report
named BIDMC among the
nation's top 50 hospitals for
heart and heart surgery in
2006 and 2007.
The Society of Thoracic
Surgeons recently awarded
the cardiac surgery program
at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center its compre-
hensive three-star rating for
the most recent reporting
period July 1 , 2006 to June
30, 2007. The three-star
composite rating denotes the
highest category of quality.
Approximately 1 2 percent
of all hospitals belonging to
the STS achieve this highest
tier rating.
Specifically, the Society
reported an operative (.^0
days post-surgery) mortality
rate for patients undergo-
ing Coronary Artery Bypass
Grafting surgery at BIDMC
of 0.6 percent, compared to
2.0 percent at hospitals na-
tionwide. For Aortic Valve
Replacement surgery, the
operative mortality rate was
0.0 percent, compared to 3.0
percent for hospitals nation-
wide. These numbers are
risk-adjusted.
"These outcomes reflect
our commitment to provid-
ing the best care possible,"
said Stanley M. Lewis,
MD, interim chief execu-
tive officer at the Institute.
"This commitment extends
throughout our organiza-
tion, in Boston and in the
affiliated practices."

man and Lutch, call 617-

Sick-day Guidelines For Parents
(ARA) - Are you not al-
ways sure if your child's
cough and sniffles warrant
keeping him home from
school? You're not alone.
In fact, a new study
shows that in the past year
three out of four parents
faced at least one situation
in which they were not en-
tirely sure whether or not to
keep their child home from
school when he or she had
a cold.
The National Association
of School Nurses (NASN)
and Triaminic developed
"Sick Day Guidelines ' to
provide parents with the key
signs that they should con-
sider keeping their children
home from school, includ-
ing:
* A fever of 100.4 de-
grees or higher
* Vomiting
* Symptoms that prevent
him or her from participat-
ing in school, such as exces-
sive tiredness or lack of ap-
petite; productive coughing
or sneezing; headache, body
aches or earache and a sore
throat
Parents should keep their
child home until his or her
fever has been gone for 24
hours without medication.
Colds can be contagious for
at least 48 hours. Returning
to school too soon may slow
the recovery process and ex-
pose others unnecessarily to
illness.
The Sick Day Guidelines,
which also provide tips for
helping to prevent colds
and relieve cough and cold
symptoms, are available
to approximately 14,000
NASN members who reach
16 million children and their
families across the country.
Parents may also be un-
sure about how best to re-
lieve their child's cough and
cold symptoms following
recent news about changes
to children's over-the-coun-
ter cough and cold product
labeling and the new recom-
mendation to not use these
products in children under
the age of 4 in the United
States.

Sick Day Guidelines or

paign and helpful reminders

and cold medicines appro-
priately, visit www.nasn.org

plenty of time to enjoy your
golden years. You don't
need to see a doctor every
day to stay healthy; with the
guidance of your physician,
there are many ways you
can take care of yourself at
home. Here are a few ideas
you can try yourself:
* Monitor the information
your doctor wants to know.
For example, an estimated
one-half of senior citizens
suffer from hypertension.
The Lumi scope Blood Pres-
sure Arm Monitor found at
Montgomery Ward (www.
Wards.com) allows you to
track your blood pressure at
home. Daily monitoring can
help you and your doctor
bring your blood pressure
levels down to 120 or lower,
which is recommended to
avoid risks of stroke or heart
attacks.
* Involve your friends,
family and neighbors in a
weekly yard game of bocce
ball, croquet, horseshoes or
badminton, to name a few.
Not only are yard games
good physical exercise, but
the competition keeps your
mind sharp and social inter-
action balances out a well-
rounded lifestyle.
* Get your hands dirty
and plant a garden. Wheth-
er you fill indoor pots with
beautiful, leafy house plants
or plant your entire outdoor
landscape in a field of col-
orful blooms, working with
plants is fun and contributes
to a sense of well-being.
Plus, the planting process
involves a little muscle,
helping you to keep your
body in good condition.
* Relive some of your
childhood fun. Try a daily
workout with the Cory
Everson Trampoline (www.
Wards.com). The trampo-
line provides a good cardio
and muscular workout com-
plete with a stability bar to
assist your balance. And you
can exercise at your level,
without overexerting your
muscles. Combine your
workout with your favor-
ite tunes and revert to your
bouncy youth.
* Join a book club and
invite the members to your
house. Whether you're into
mysteries, historical fiction,
biographies or romance
novels, stretch your imagi-
nation, share your thoughts
and engage your fellow
book lovers in a good dis-
cussion.

/( Thought
For Tne ^eeK
Many wise and wonderful sayings have
been passed down through the years on
the true meaning of friendship . . .
It has been said that life without fiiend-
ship is like the sky without the sun. . .
Friendship is like a treasury, you cannot
take firom it more than you put into it. . . lYiie firiendship like
a diamond radiates steadily from its transparent heart. . . A
friend is one who comes in when the whole workl has gone out
. . . Anyone can give advice, but a real friend lends a hand . . .
Make friendship a habit and you will always have friends. . .
Friendship is a responsibility, not an opportunity. . . Friendship
is love with understanding. . . The bank of friendship cannot
exist with deposits . . .
Yes, the best way to have fiiemls is to be one. 'If you see a
friend sfipping away from you," wrote David Graysm, '^p
whatever you are doing and bring him back, for friendship is

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Seeing the silly side of
some really ridiculous situa-
tions helps give the Lamb a
new perspective on how to
handle them. Some impor-
tant contacts can be made
this weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Try to complete your
outstanding tasks by mid-
week. This leaves you free to
take advantage of new possi-
bilities — both professional
and personal — opening up
by week's end.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) With both your creative
side and your energy levels
rising this week, you should
be able to tackle that too-
long-neglected project
again. A family member
might have important news.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) An explanation you
requested seems to be more
confusing than enlightening.
You should insist on clarifi-
cations now, rather than deal
with problems that might
arise later.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Your energy levels might
be ebbing a bit. But that's no
excuse for taking camaps
when you could be working
on those unfinished tasks.
There'll be time to curl up
and relax by week's end.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) It's a good
time to get those ideas out of
your head and into a read-
able format if you hope to
have them turned into some-
thing doable. A good friend
is ready with worthwhile
advice.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Careful — you
might be stepping into dan-
gerous territory if you decide
to "exaggerate" the facts too
much. Remember: The truth
speaks for itself and needs
no embellishment.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Although
your workplace successes
have earned you many
admirers, there are some col-
leagues who are not among
them. Be careful how you
proceed with your new pro-
ject.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 2 1 ) You
might have to go into great
detail to explain why you're
currently reluctant to make
changes to an already pre-
pared plan. Be sure you have
all the facts to back yourself
up.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Travel
plans might still be uncer-
tain. But instead of getting
upset about the delay, open
yourself up to other possibil-
ities, and begin checking out
some alternative destina-
tions.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Changing
conditions might require you
to alter some of your plans.
While you might be agree-
able to this, be prepared with
explanations for those who
do not want changes made.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Although you
might have to deal with some
deu-actors who aren't too
kind in their critiques, you
gain points when you're
willing to stand up and
defend your work.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a gift for creating a
warm and loving environ-
ment between yourself and
others.

benches, trees and grass,
enhancing the campus effect
of the project.
Santoro described such
high-tech details as interac-
tive whiteboards, a small
greenhouse fueled by solar
power, laptop computers ac-
cessible to all students, and
Dolby sound systems,
"The whole building is
wireless." Said Santoro.
The students will "have
a clicker system and the
teacher will know (instant-
ly) which students get the
answers correct." Santoro
said, describing the use of
interactive whiteboards.
Teachers can write on the
whiteboards from any spot
in a classroom and students
just click their answers.
Such state of the art
equipment is important, but
not as important as the "in-
terdisciplinary approach to
learning'^ or shared disci-
plines that the building lay-
out will foster, said Santoro.
Santoro noted that, on all
three floors, the mathemat-
ics classrooms are across the
hallways from such student
labs as office technology,
electrical studies, physics,
and chemistry. The biology
classrooms are opposite the
nursing program and all dis-
ciplines are integrated with
like courses.
"Subjects are connected
by an inter-disciplinary way
of teaching," said Santoro
who pointed out that even
the teachers' staff rooms
will be equipped for shared
disciplines on each of the
three floors.
That will allow teachers
to prepare classes in concert
with other teachers in relat-
ed subjects.
For plumbing and elec-
trical students, the skeletons
of realistic mock rooms and
houses are already con-
structed. Students will use
these rooms for hands-on
experience installing wiring
and piping.
For culinary arts students,
huge mixers and ovens, re-
frigerators and stoves fill
the kitchens where students
will prepare foods for the
school's 85-seat restaurant
and bakery shop.
Santoro said the restau-
rant will, also, have outdoor
seating in the courtyard in
good weather, "We're go-
ing to do some theater (in
the restaurant), with singing
waiters and waitresses."
That will allow the drama
students additional outlets
for their talents.
The new 128,000 square
foot wing also features a
150-seat lecture hall which
will complement a larger,
800-seat auditorium planned
for Phase 3.
This wing completes the
second phase of the city's
$126 million high school
project.
Initial planning for the
new high school began
nearly a dozen years ago un-
der the Mayor James Sheets'
administration and site plans
and funding options were
finalized under Mayor Wil-
liam Phelan.
The third and final phase
begins in March when con-
tractors demolish the origi-
jnal 40-year-old science and
technology wing and con-
struct a three-story 224,000
square foot gymnasium, au-
ditorium and administration
wing.
The 1924 yellow brick
Quincy High School build-
ing will remain in place after
construction is completed in
2010. At this time, there
have been no public discus-
sions regarding its reuse.

tist Church, School Street,

Mr. Bosworth died sud-
denly Saturday, Feb. 7 at the
Quincy Medical Center with
family at his side.
He had worked a full -day
at the newspaper last Fri-

schools. He graduated from
Quincy High School, Class
of 1942 and later attended
Boston University Evening
Division.
Mr. Bosworth lived in
Braintree for 57 years, pre-
viously in Quincy.
ONE OF the highlights of Mr. Henry Bosworth Jr.'s journal-
ism career was his "Inside South Shore" column in October,
1957 which featured Francis X., the lonely "Little Boy Blue"
who had muscular dystrophy. Mr. Bosworth 's column led to
an outpouring of birthday gifts for Francis X. and a closed-
circuit TV program put on by comedian Jerry Lewis. The pro-
gram became the forerunner of the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor
Day Telethon. Shown here are nurse Mrs. Shaw Raynolds who
helps Francis cut his 9th birthday cake. Dr. Kurt Jelliner and
Henry Bosworth.
He was a U. S. Nav) vet-
eran of World War 11 serving
from 1942 to 1946. Most
of his service was aboard
the destroyer, USS Cog-
swell, which was commis-
sioned in Boston in 1943.
After commissioning, the
Cogswell underwent shake
down training off Bermu-
da and then she steamed
through the Panama Canal
and joined the Pacific Fleet
where she was to participate
in many of the major naval
campaigns in the Asiatic Pa-
cific Theater for the remain-
der of World War 11.
The Cogswell was the
first warship mto Fokyo Bay
and was present at the sign-
ing of the Japanese surren-
der. Mr. Bosworth received
the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon
with 10 stars and the Philip-
pine Liberation Ribbon with
2 stars.

ism career - which spanned

After serving his coun-
try in World War 11, he re-
turned to the Ledger. He
v\as transferred to the news
department and covered po-
lice, fire, court, hospital, and
wrote features and a column
called "Worth Mentioning."
Highlights during his ca-

Mr. Bosworth also cov-

but Mr. Bosworth 's column
attracted the attention of
countless readers.
Instead of four or six
cards, Francis received over
a half million pieces of mail ,
over $12,000 in coins and
dollar bills and three rooms
full of toys and presents.
The latter were shared with

day messages.
No one realized it at the
time, but this closed-circuit
show for Francis turned out
to be the forerunner of the
Labor Day Muscular Dys-
trophy Telethon which has
raised millions of dollars for
MDA research.
Francis was remembered
each year on this birthday
and Christmas by many
people who continued to
send cards until his death at
age 18.
Mr. Bosworth left the
Boston Traveler in Septem-
ber, 1968 to start The Quincy
Sun as the city's hometown
weekly newspaper.
"Reaction to that first
issue was encouraging,"
Mr. Bosworth noted in The
Quincy Sun 's special supple-
ment last year celebrating
the paper's 40th anniversa-
ry. "But there were skeptics
who read the "Sunrise" edi-
torial and predicted "Sun-
set" would follow within six
months.
"And, there were times
we thought they would
prove right."
"Fortunately there were
those - readers, news sourc-
es and advertisers - who
believed in a community
newspaper and also felt that
having two newspapers in
town was better than just
one.
He fondly remembered
the advertisers who helped
the paper take root in the
community during those
early days.
"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."
Mr. Bosworth never for-
got those who have helped
the paper flourish.
With each anniversary
of the paper, Mr. Bosworth
would write in that week's
issue expressing gratitude to
"all of you - our readers, ad-
vertisers, news sources and
carriers - who are as much
a part of The Quincy Sun as
the staff."
The newspaper's first of-
fice was located on the sec-
ond floor in the old Quincy
Conservatory building at 7
Foster Street. The business
moved a year later to anoth-
er second floor office above
the Kincaide furniture store
in the Mutual Building on
Hancock Street, later de-
stroyed by fire.
The newspaper's office
settled into the street floor at
its present location at 1372
Hancock Street in February,
1975, the former Quincy
Savings Bank building.
Mr. Bosworth 's mission
for the newspaper at its in-
ception remains its focus
today: to chronicle the city's
history and news fairly and
accurately. Over the years,
the paper became a family
business involving several
of Mr. Bosworth's children.

From $3 Million Deficit To Small Surplus
Water, Sewer Fund
Back In The Black
by LAURA GRIFFIN
The water and sewer
enterprise fund has moved
from red to black, from a
$3 million plus deficit to
a small surplus in the past
eight months, according to
Michael Coffey, Business
Manager for the Department
of Public Works.
Coffey Monday outlined
a major overhaul underway
in the city's water and sewer
operations that has trimmed
costs and increased revenues
in a department that was
drowning in debt last year.
"This is a good news
story," Coffey told the Pub-
lic Works Committee as he
described improved meter
reading, ontime billing, im-
provements in seasonal cli-
ent billing, and speedier col-
lections on the city's 93,800
sewer and water bills.
Coffey forecast a "small
surplus" for the water and
sewer funds, but, also,
warned that the regional
water and sewer agency, the
MWRA (Massachusetts Wa-
ter Resources Authority) is
very likely to impose a large
rate increase in July.
On the plus side, the
city's sewer and water de-
stimulus grants.
One $50,(XXJ grant was
used to develop a citywide
leak detection program that
pinpointed leaks responsible
for 10% of unbilled water
charged to the city.
"They seem to be occur-
ring more often now," Cof-
fey said of the leaks and
noted that the city has aging
pipes and underground in-
frastructure.
Coffey, also, said his de-
partment has tested some of
the new Honeywell meters
and found accuracy issues
and defective registers and
sent a random sampling to
Honeywell.
It's important to get the
test results "before we close
the contract with Honey-
well." Coffey said.
As for scofflaws, Coffey
downplayed the numbers
of offenders stealing water
during questioning by Ward
2 Councillor Daniel Ray-
mondi .
Raymondi wants scoff-
laws and water pirates re-
ferred to the legal system for
charges of larceny but Cof-
fey described water pirates
as hard to catch and pros-
ecute or even bill properly
partment has already ob- for lost payments,
tained $72,000 in grants and Coffey said several issues
awards and may be eligible have been referred to the le-
for $30 million in federal gal department following

In addition. Coffey said
that there are no major scoff-
laws, such as golf courses,
large apartment buildings
or car washes on the depart-
ment's radar at this time.
Such pirates shut off or di-
vert meters, or don't have
meters.
Coffey did identify some
minor debtors, such as the
state's Department of Con-
servation and Recreation
(DCR) at Wollaston Beach,
MassHighway, several small
marinas, MBTA commuter
boat docks and USS Salem.
Many of these operated with
either dysfunctional or no
water meters.
As an example, the DCR
did not install water meters
for the water used at its new
showers and footbaths along
Wollaston Beach.
The DCR owes that mon-
ey and will pay the bill once
the city has determined the
debt, according to Coffey.

Editor's Note: Henry W. Bosworth, Jr., founder and pub-

He had written this Sunbeams column on one of his favorite
subjects - growing up in his beloved Quincy Point - last
week for this week's issue.
I was in my old neighborhood in Quincy Point
the other day and was quickly surrounded by
fond memories of growing up there.
I know that each of you has those kinds of
memories of your own.
But as I reminisced, I realized how unique the
Point was.
It was an everything-you-wanted community,
self-sustaining. You didn't have to go anywhere
for anything. It was all right there.
You really didn't need a car if you live in the
Point. You could just walk where you wanted to
go-
lf you wanted to go to Quincy Square, just hop
on a streetcar for a dime or 15 cents.
Imagine, if you will:
Three elementary schools, the Pollard, Wash-
ington, Webster and Point Junior High School. (I
can still hear Principal Henry Prairio urging us "to
always give it that extra ounce" of effort.)
The Pollard and Washington were virtually in
the same neighborhood. Kids could walk there
and to Webster and the Point.
And at all four schools, dedicated teachers wait-
ed to help and encourage you. I remember teach-
ers at the Pollard bringing in something extra in
their lunches for kids who didn't have enough to
eat.
The Point was ecumenical before most of us
know what the word meant. With St. Joseph's
Catholic Church, Quincy Point Congregational
just up the street from one another and Beth Israel
Synagogue a short distance away. Members of all
three became friends.
That was when Point Congregational was lo-
cated at Washington and South Streets before Rev.
Bedros Baharian loaded it on trailer and moved it
intact to its present location at Washington Street
and Southern Artery. Quite a feat at the time.
Residents felt safe with the Fire Department's
Engine 3 right there in the neighborhood fire sta-
tion. And with a patrolman walking his beat. Resi-
dents didn't have to lock the door every time they
stepped out of the house.
Need groceries? How about the A & P and the
First National Store, the forerunners of today's
supermarkets across Washington Street from one
another at Chubbuck Street.
Prescriptions? Stone's drugstore on one cor-
ner and for home maintenance Primer's hardware
store on the other. There were two other drug-
stores nearby.
Feel like a good book or doing some research?
A handy branch of the Thomas Crane Public Li-
brary next to St. Joseph's.
Clothing? A women's store (Zack's) and a
men's store (Stone's). Also a Chinese laundry.
Three barbershops ( 1 5-25 cents) .
For entertainment, the Lincoln Theater was the
Point's social center, where a family could see a
movie together without parents having to worry
what might pop on the screen that kids shouldn't
see. (A dime, 15, 25 cents.)
And where women loved to collect their din-
THE POLLARD ELEMENTARY School - known for its dedi-
cated teachers - always brought back fond memories.
THE LINCOLN THEATER was Quincy Point's social center
and a favorite entertainment venue for local families.
nerware sets, a cup, saucer, plate, bowl once a
week until it was completed. And looked forward
to the crystal set coming up.
And on Money Nights with a lucky admission
ticket you could win up to $10, a pretty nice prize
back then. Or risk the old Quincy Point razz all
the way back to your seat if you had first crack at
the $10 and picked the $1.
At the Saturday matinee kids got a serial, a
western, comedy, and a B movie and could win a
baseball bat and ball or a glove.
If you wanted to bowl a string, the alleys were
right downstairs.
In the summer there was Avalon Beach with its
rafts and clean water waiting for you.
The Fore River shipyard, the economic back-
bone of the Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth area.
And if your father worked there you got a chance
to see some of the great Navy warships launched,
the thrill of seeing them slide down ways and hit
the water. Some of the kids grew up to serve on
some of them during World War II.
And most importantly the Point was Quincy 's
great "melting pot" with bounding diversity.
Where many families of different nationalities
and rehgions settled: Italian, Jewish, Irish, Scot-
tish, Syrian, Lebanese, Arab, etc.
You respected one another and had no trouble
getting along.
Not much money around back then with FDR
trying to pull us out of the Great Depression.
But strong, lasting friendships, and togetherness
helped make things better.
If you happened to have a problem with some-
one, it had nothing to do with his ethnic back-
ground. It was with that particular individual.
I feel fortunate to have my roots in Quincy
Point. It was a wonderful experience growing up
there.
I guess there's a lot to that old saying:
"You can take the boy out of Quincy Point but
you can't take Quincy Point out of the boy."
I know there is still a lot of the Point in me.

Scenes From Yesterday
■>i
THIS IS A 1952 real photo postcard showing one of the
last New Haven Railroad passenger trains pulled by an
ALCO diesel locomotive. Headed to Boston the train is
arriving at the Victorian styled Wollaston depot. Origi-
nally called the Wollaston Heights depot, it was built in
1870 by the Old Colony railroad, which began running
trains through Quincy in 1945. For over 100 years steam
engines powered the trains along here. After World War
II, commuters started using automobiles and train rider-
ship began to dwindle. The New Haven then switched to
the type of locomotives shown here, but it was only for a
.few years and they then converted the Hne to Budd Rail
Diesel Cars. The shiny new stainless-steel self-propelled
Budd cars seemed to breath new life into the Old Colony
and ridership picked up. But the inevitable happened
when the New Haven discontinued its Old Colony pas-
senger service in June 1959. Today, the MBTA provides
rail service to Wollaston with its rapid transit Red Line
that opened in 1971. The new Old Colony commuter
trains also travel through here but they don't stop at
Wollaston. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin(s^

Thank You From Quincy Animal Shelter
This past holiday season
was made much sweeter
by the donations that were
made by the generous read-
ers of The Quincy Sun to the
Quincy Animal Shelter.
Late last year an article
was printed by The Sun de-
tailing our desperate need
for funding to enable us
to continue providing the
care we give to the home-
less dogs and cats that come
through our door on their
way to their forever home.
The response to our need
was overwhelming. Not only
did we receive monetary
donations we also received
food, litter, treats, linens,
etc. In one instance we re-
ceived donations raised by
the Quincy High School
students delivered to us in a
small pick up truck.
The year 2008 saw the
Shelter struggle to keep up
with costly medical bills
and increased supply costs
much like the households all
over the country. We do not
receive any funding from
the City of Quincy to the
surprise of many people so
all of our expenses are paid
strictly by donations, fund-
raising and gifts. Our ex-
penses run over lOOK annu-
ally so our fundraising task
was lightened as a result of
the donations we received.
The holidays are always a
time for remembering oth-
ers through acts of kindness
and giving and last year was
no exception.
On behalf of the volun-
teers and for those without
voices, thank you all for
your thoughtfulness and the
kindness shown towards the
Quincy Animal Shelter.

Quincy 's Municipal Parking area has been completed

Don's Cabbage Casserole
I got a telephone call one day from a faithful
reader, Don McMullen who said he enjoys
cooking and began to tell me about some
recipes that are easy to prepare.
So I told him to mail them to me and
then I would print the easy ones as those
are the recipes my readers are accustomed
to reading.
Here is a great casserole recipe.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
CABBAGE CASSEROLE
1 large head of cabbage (shredded)
2 pounds ground beef (turkey could
be used)
1 large onion
1 cup uncooked rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 can tomato soup (diluted withl can
water)
3 tablespoons oil for saut^ing (either
vegetable or olive)
In hot oil , saute the onions, salt and pepper
and cook until meat is no longer red. Add the
uncooked rice and mix until well blended.
In a lightly greased casserole dish, spread
the shredded cabbage in the bottom. Now
spread the meat mixture over the cabbage.
Add the tomato soup mix over the top.
Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1
1/2 hours.

Water, Sewer Fund
Back In The Black
Cont 'd From Page 3
In another example, Cof-
fey and Brian Carlisle, Su-
perintendent of the Sewer
and Water Department, de-
scribed efforts to check out
a laundromat. On their visit,
they were told to come back
another day. They did and
found a brand new water
meter in pieces.
"One of the new meters
fell apart. They don't just
fall apart," said Carlisle
while Coffey added that it
"looked like there was tam-
pering going on."
Coffey is supporting a
proposed ordinance dealing
specifically with unauthor-
ized water use, meter tam-
pering and meter discon-
nects.
In his presentation,
Coffey reported the city
has identified 15% of the
MWRA differential or what
could be called unidentified
water charged to the city,
but not allocated to any spe-
cific user or ratepayer. This
is water that the MWRA
bills for, but the city can not
identify.
Some unidentified and
unbilled water resulted from
undetected, inflow and in-
filtration, water main leaks,
breaks and billing issues as
well as the previously unre-
ported water use in the city's
75 buildings which are now
reviewed each month.
Just six months ago, the
water and sewer enterprise
funds required a multi-
million dollar bailout from
the city's reserve funds af-
ter the state declared that a
good chunk of its $8 million
in indirect charges to other
city departments were ineli-
gible.
In addition, the water and
sewer enterprise fund sunk
into deficits that had to be
funded by increased rates
for water and sewer custom-
ers.
Collections were so low
that City Council President
Jay Davis suggested shut-
ting the water off on laggard
billpayers and Councillor
John Keenan said of the two
enterprise funds, "The only
fact that's clear is that it's a
mess."

Asks Inspector General
For Opinion On Independence
For Development Of Wholesale Club
B J.'s Team, Mayor
Raymond! Seeks State's Seeking Common Ground
Help On College Issue
Quincy College's bid
for independence may hit
a state roadblock, accord-
ing to Ward 2 Daniel Ray-
mondi who this week asked
inspector General Gregory
Sullivan for an opinion on
the issue.
Raymondi notified Sul-
livan by faxed letter Tues-
day of the college's request
for independence from city
ownership to a private in-
stitution operated by a new
corporation.
"This transfer would take
place without the benefit of
a public bid process to de-
termine the fair market val-
ue of the College and the fit-
ness and appropriateness of
the named party to receive
the valuable public assets
of Quincy College," wrote
Raymondi.
In discussing the letter,
Raymondi said that state
law requires that a publicly
owned asset be appraised
and disposed of through a
public bid process.
"You can't just gift away
a public asset without a pro-
cess to determine its value,"
said Raymondi, adding, "It's
outrageous."
Raymondi said the city
should not act hastily, par-
ticularly in these difficult
economic times and, in his
letter, said he wanted to pro-
tect the interests of taxpay-
ers.
Quincy College's initial
bid for independence was
DAN RAYMONDI
presented to City Council
on Feb. 9.
A report of that meeting
follows:
Quincy College is thriv-
ing, has a multi-million dol-
lar capitol fund, and has long
been eager to break free of
its ties with the city.
College officials believe
the time is now; in fact,
some believe the time was
yesterday.
In an effort to make a
clean break. College Presi-
dent M. Sue Harris recently
prepared a Home Rule Peti-
tion for state legislative ap-
proval and submitted it to
City Councillors for review
prior to Monday's meeting.
Mayor Thomas Koch,
officially, sponsored the
Quincy College petition for
independence when it was
presented to City Council
this week.
The college must win the
approval of both the mayor
and the City Council in or-
der for the issue to be con-
sidered by the state legisla-
ture.
But the issue never got to
the City Council floor.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi objected. His
objection tables all action
and discussion of the matter
until another council meet-
ing when the proposal must
be resubmitted.
Raymondi believes the
city should not act in haste,
stating that such a break de-
mands rigid scrutiny and the
city's taxpayers should be
compensated.
Residents invested con-
siderable money through
real estate taxes in Quincy
College when it was strug-
gling in its early years, ac-
cording to Raymondi who
served on the college's first
Board of Overseers.
The college was founded
in 1958 and subsidized by
taxpayers unfil 1981 when
it first became self-suffi-
cient. While taxpayers have
not paid any debts of the
college in the intervening
years, Raymondi believes
the original investment cost
taxpayers.
"The taxpayers are get-
ting short-changed," said
Raymondi after Monday's
meeting. He, also, stated
that the college's employees
would remain public em-
ployees in the city's health
care and pension plans de-
spite any official break and

City Solicitor James
Timmins said Tuesday that
Mayor Thomas Koch and
the BJ's team are meetmg
this week in an effort to
reach common ground on
the development of a BJ's
Wholesale Club at Crown
Colony.
Discussions between the
developers and the mayor
began less than 24 hours af-
ter Timmins filed a civil suit
in Dedham Superior Court
challenging the BJ's legal
claim of a "constructive
grant."
"The lawsuit is the city's
attempt to retain control
over the development of The
Patriot Ledger site," Tim-
mins said. "We're not try-
ing to prevent a BJ's We're
merely trying to control the
impacts of the project."
QBJ Land Development.
LLC, is the official title of
the developer for the com-
pany. Their legal team noti-
fied the city on Jan. 20 that
BJ's was claiming an auto-
matic special permit to build
its facility due to default on
the part of the city council
QBJs lawyers. Lisa
Goodheart and C. Dylan
Sanders of Sugarman. Rog-
ers, Barshak. & Cohen,
claimed the City Council
failed to schedule a public
heanng in a timely manner
and, therefore, the Special
Permit was automatically
granted.
L'nder such circumstanc-
es, the city would have no
leverage on traffic issues,
mitigation agreements,
building size, or an\ issue
related to neighborhood con
cerns so long as the building
met legal codes.
"We are working with
QBJ to resolve this case.""
Timmins said "This keeps
the city on equal footing
with the developer which is
where we want to be "
Back in August, the BJ"s
team announced plans for an
84,000 square foot outlet at
200 Crown Colony Drive,
the site of the former Led-
ger pnnting plant. They had
hoped to break ground in
November.
However, the Planning
Board rejected their ongi-
nal plans by a 2-2 vote and
the City Council, by a 6-.^
vote on Jan 20. refused to
schedule a public heanng
Timmins informed them of
the claim of a "constructive
grant "
After a lengthy debate,
the City Council reaffirmed
their original veto of the
public hearing with a tie of
4-4 on Feb. 2.

Henry Bosworth
Loved Quincy
( out 'J From Po^e I
"He was honest, fair and
always focused on the best
interest of the city. His con-
tributions cannot be over-
stated, especially the work
he did quietly -- without
headlines -- on behalf of
those in our community in
need of assistance for many,
many years.
"Henry always remained
true to the spirit of his 'com-
munity newspaper.' Who
in our city does not have
a memory of cutting out a
photo clipping from The Sun
as a youngster and hanging
it on the family fridge?
"The industry has
changed much since The
Sun was first printed, but
Henry never wavered, giv-
ing as much coverage to
community events and good
deeds than the latest wran-
gling in City Hall. We are a
better city for it.
"Quincy has lost a gi-
ant and we will all miss
him. But his legacy of good
works and dedication to
Quincy will always be re-
membered. We have been
blessed to have had him for
so long."
Congressman Bill Dela-
hunt put aside his concerns
for the precarious national
economy to call him "al-
ways Mr. Quincy to me."
"Community is a term
that is sometimes vague."
he said, "but when you see
it defined in a dictionary it
has a picture of Henry along
with it. To me he is what
community is all about.
"He has left a real void
when 1 think of leaders. He
wasn't in elective office
but he was a leader just the
same. 1 will miss him. The
city is diminished by his
loss."
Tim Cahill, the Quincy
boy who won statewide of-
fice as treasurer, called him
"the conscience of Quincy.
Always reminding us of its
history and its importance in
the world."
"1 will miss Henry," he
said. "It didn't matter who
you were or what you did,
Henry would always make
space for you in his weekly.
"He had an unpretentious
way about him. Whether he
was interviewing presidents
(Kennedy, Carter) or simply
ordering coffee (black, two
sugars) he treated everyone
equally.
"The Sun will shine less
brightly in Quincy now that
Henry Bosworth is no lon-
ger here to write about it."
On the business side,
Henry worked with Mark
Bertman of Rogers Jewelry
and the late Bob Colman
of sporting goods fame to
found the Quincy Business
Association 35 years ago.
He was one of its first direc-
tors.
"It's such a big loss," said
Bertman. "I go back a long
way with Henry, to so many
things that were meaningful
to the city.
"I don't think words can
convey the incredible im-
pact Henry had on so many
lives. He was one of a kind.
1 don't think there is any
equal to Henry Bosworth, in
one word, stellar."
Five former mayors, of-
ten at odds with each other
on the hustings, were united
in their respect for the man
who reported their cam-
paigns, fair and balanced.
Walter Hannon - "He
was honest and always fair.
He wrote a good story but he
was fair. If he thought I was
wrong he told me so. He ran
a great newspaper. He was
a very decent man. That's
how I remember him."
Arthur Tobin - "He
was a wonderful, human be-
ing. I first met him when we
came back from the service
along with Jim Mclntyre
and John Gillis. My impres-
sion of him was that he was
a young man in love with
his city. It is a tremendous

POSTSURGERY PRECAUTIONS
Taking precautions af-
ter foot surgery is critical to
proper healing. First, find out if
you should be walking and for
how long. If indicated, wear a
surgical shoe and use a cane,
walker, or other means of as-
sistance. For the first couple
of days, apply ice to the area
to reduce bruising and swell-
ing. When seated, maintain
the foot at an elevated posi-
tion level to your chest. Avoid
extended elevation, which can
impede the blood flow to your
foot. Bandages should be
removed. When showering,
wrap the foot in plastic and
tape it to keep the bandages
dry. If the foot, ankle, or calf
area becomes numb or turns
blue, of if you experience a
fever, contact your doctor.
We sincerely hope you are
not suffering with painful, nag-
ging foot problems because
you think treatment might
involve surgery. Many foot
surgeries are now performed
right in the podiatrist's of-
fice, and today's advanced,
conservative techniques
can save you discomfort, re-
covery time, and cost. If this
sounds like something that
might encourage you to seek
professional care for your
aching feet, please give us a
call to see how our services
can benefit you. We're lo-
cated at QUINCY MEDICAL
CENTER. You can reach us
at 781-986-3668 for an ap-
pointment. Office hours are
also available at 999 North
Main St., in the Randolph
Medical Building, and Milton
Medical Building in Suite 221 .
P.S. The vast majority of
foot and ankle conditions do
not require surgical inten/en-
tion.

than Monday, March 2 and

Important Life Safety Issues
FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
enough. That is why I lend I never personally respond
One of the inspectors
in my office forwarded
an e-mail to me this last
weekend. He received the
information from a Phila-
delphia news site, Philly.
com. It highlights a tragedy
in Southwest Philadelphia
where 7 fatalities occurred
do to a "brief but lethal in-
tense house fire..." in the
basement of a three story
residential building. Read-
ing the article, there are
four life safety issues that
were overlooked that we
can learn from here.
The occupants were us-
ing kerosene heaters to heat
the living quarters. It might
be lawful to heat a living
space in Philadelphia with
these heaters; it is illegal
to do so in Massachusetts.
Kerosene heaters are ap-
proved for use at construc-
tion sites with approval
when airflow and ventila-
tion is significantly greater
than in a confined living
space.
Not only is there a po-
tential fire hazard with their
use, there is a carbon mon-
oxide hazard where com-
bustion gases spew into the
living space and oxygen is
depleted from that inner
atmosphere. Please keep in
mind that unvented propane
space heaters fall into this
same category and are not
approved for use in habit-
able spaces.
The article highlights the
fact that 6 of the dead were
found trapped in a base-
ment that had but one exit.
This is another of my favor-
ite subjects where I become
concerned that homeown-
ers will see the potential in
adding bedrooms or apart-
ments in basements without
adequate exits. That's what
apparently happened here
while a second means of
egress was not considered
when someone decided on
utilizing that space for a liv-
ing arrangement.
There was one stairwell
which lead directly to the
outside of the building and
the fire started in that vicini-
ty where the heater was also
located. Consequently, vic-
tims suffered from " smoke
inhalation while huddling
together at the other end
of the room." They had no
secondary means of evacu-
ating the basement while
their primary means of
evacuation was blocked by
smoke and fire. They were
therefore trapped and found
dead at the opposite end of
the basement.
The third issue that
caught my attention was the
absence of smoke detectors
within this building. Early
notification is key for safe
evacuation. Smoke detec-
tors double your chance
of survival. In this situa-
tion, early notification of a
smoke condition MIGHT
have given the family time
to evacuate by that less than
adequate egress arrange-
ment.
And finally, as the article
points out, this family ap-
parently never developed or
practiced an escape plan. If
they had , the inadequate exit
arrangement would have
stood out. There would be
no satisfactory plan devel-
oped from a basement with
only one exit. It defies the
idea of having a conscious
awareness of alternatives
during an emergency.
Some of these life safety
issues can't be emphasized

to highlight them over and
over, looking for incidents,
which emphasize their im-

in fact emphasize the need
for early notification, the
proactive recognition of
hazards, the need for ad-

Question: My daughter

ard. Can you shed light on

Answer: Great question,
Rose. While it's difficult to
separate fact from fiction
when it comes to research-
ing this issue. To begin
with. I am not aware of one
fire during my 31 -year ca-
reer in Quincy that began
with a plug-in malfunction.
ed to such an incident, nor
have I been made aware of
such an incident bv other
personnel.
My research does indi-
cate however, that m April
2(K)2. the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission
presided over a voluntary
recall of 2.5 million "misas-
sembled" Glade Extra Out-
let Scented Oil Air Fresh-
eners on the grounds that
they "could pose a risk of
fire." Could is a ke> word
here while I cannot find a
substantiated fire incident
caused by these plug- ins.
The U.S. Consumer Prod-
uct safety Commission does
not convey a documented
incident leading to this re-
call as well.
I did see it written that
Underwriter Laboratories,

Henry Bosworth: He Loved Quincy
Cont'd From Page 10
loss to the city. He was a tre-
mendous newspaperman"
Frank McCauley —
*'l was sorry to hear of the
passing of Henry Bos-
worth. 1 first met Henry a
half centur) ago during my
first campaign for the City
Council. He was a reporter
for the Boston Traveler writ-
ing a column Inside South
Shore.* He established The
Sun 40 years ago. The paper
filled the need for Quincy
news."
Jim Sheets — "As a
journalist he was the fin-
est. He was always fair, al-
ways considered people's
feelings. He was a special
human being. He had a pro-
found impact on the city of
Quincy."
Bill Phelan - "When
1 think of The Quincy Sun
from the time I was a little
boy it just epitomizes the
city of Quincy and it came
from Henry Bosworth 's
sense of community.
"As an elected official,
a young and sometimes ag-
gressive newcomer, Henry
treated me always with re-
spect. He treated everyone
with courtesy and respect.
There was no malice in his
paper.
"He'd come to City Hall
and talk to everyone for
news as he delivered papers.
Everybody loved him. He
will be missed. The city of
Quincy has lost an insUtu-
tion. Fortunately, The Quin-
cy Sun will continue with
Bob and Donna."
Mike Morrissey, the
Democratic senator from
Quincy, and Bob Hedlund,
the Republican senator from
Weymouth, shared similar
feelings for their longtime
GOOD FRIENDS attended the dedication of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library in October
of 1979. From left: the Rev. William McCarthy, then pastor of St. John's Church; Quincy busi-
nessman Peter O'Connell; former Mayor-Senator and Mrs. James R. Mclntyre and Quincy Sun
Publisher Henry W. Bosworth. Mr. Bosworth covered JFK's presidential election in 1960 as a
reporter for the Boston Traveler.
friend.
''The Sun is the only paper
in the city with local news
and it is because of Henry
Bosworth." said Morrissey.
"It was true when he started
out and it is true today.
"He has been helpful over
the years to many organiza-
tions. The Muscular Dys-
trophy Association comes
to mind. We froze our butts
off for the Salvation Army
when Henr>' called.
"He had great skills as
a reporter. The only way
to find out what was going
on locally was to read The
Sun."
"It's very sad," said Hed-
lund. "As one who was bom,
grew up and had a business
in Quincy, it's hard to lose
an institution with the civ-
ic spirit Henry brought to
Quincy. His grandson, Fred
Happel, was my first intern
at the State House."
George Burke, the for-
mer city councillor, state
rep. and district attorney,
was the lawyer who handled
incorporation papers for
Henry.
"He was one of my best
friends," he said. "I loved
him dearly.
"He was a superb editor.
He did a great job as a father,
husband and editor. I was in
the hospital when he died...
My wife was in an adjoining
room with pneumonia. God
must have wanted me to be
there."
Others added their words
of tribute:
Mike Bellotti, sheriff of
Norfolk County — "Quincy
has so many characteristics
of a small town despite its
size because that is how
Henry saw us and wrote
about us. He is the primary
reason we are so fight knit
and such a strong commu-
nity. He is an integral part
of who we are whose loss
is greatest for this city. This
humble family man will
leave a void that we must
endeavor to fill in his name
and honor."
His father, Frank Bellot-
ti, the former attorney gen-
eral and lieutenant governor
— "I started with Henry.
When I announced for lieu-
tenant governor in 1962 I
gave it to him first. He was
an important part of the com-
munity. 1 remained close to
him all those years."
Father William McCa-
rthy , the former pastor of St .
John's Church and founder
of Father Bill's Place for the
Homeless — "What an as-
set! He is going to be missed
by a lot of people. He was
very dedicated to his job,
an asset to the city. He was
interested in Father Bill's
from the beginning and he
was right there to help us
any fime."
John Yazwinski, execu-
five director of Father Bill 's-
Mainspring — "Henry was
a standout individual who
believed in his community
and believed in our mission
at Father Bill's and we were
so lucky to have him."
Jack Conway, the real
estate magnate, once a rival
of Henry with the Boston
Record American Sunday
Advertiser — "We used to
cover the same assignments.
He was a capable sports re-
porter. We honored Henry at
the Conway Country Con-
vention for running the best
weekly newspaper in the
area ... so much news, great
pictures and good comment,
all well edited. He got a
big kick out of the award
because we had worked to-
gether."
Dr. Gary Gibbons, pres-
ident and CEO of Quincy
Medical Center — "Henry
was an amazing man, a
World War II veteran, a great
community advocate, a suc-
cessful businessman and an
all-around gentleman. He
had a newsman's instincts
and pushed to get the right
story but was always a good
friend and supporter of
Quincy Medical Center be-
cause he recognized its im-
portance to our city. Henry
will be missed."
Major Doug Jones, co-
commander of the Salvafion
Army in Quincy — "In the
passing of Henry Bosworth
the community has lost an
incredible pillar. The Salva-
fion Army has lost a great
friend and tremendous sup-
porter. 1 will miss his words
of wisdom and guidance.
We pray that God will bless
and comfort his family at
this time."
Peter O'Connell, de-
veloper — "Henry's style
of fair and friendly type of
journalism will be missed.
He has been a posifive influ-
ence on good things here in
Quincy. I will miss him per-
sonally and professionally."
Steve Tobin, state rep.
from Quincy — "First of
all, I never met a man more
concerned with his fellow
human beings, especially
those who are disadvan-
taged. Second of all, he had
a lock on the community
leader and cifizen we all as-
pire to be Lastly, personally
I'm going to miss him very
much. My heart goes out to
his family and The Quincy
Sun family."
Edward Keohane,
president of the Quincy
Partnership — "Henry was
passionate about Quincy
and provided a fair voice to
all of its citizens. In chang-
ing times for newspapers.
The Quincy Sun was able to
thrive because people crave
local news. He reported
and was very supportive in
bringing attenfion to all of
the Partnership's events.
Quincy is a big city which
retained a small town heart
because of Henry."
Ron Mariano, state rep.
from Quincy — "I grew up
with The Quincy Sun. I was
in high school or junior high
school when I first saw my
name in print. It was in The
Quincy Sun. Henry was al-
ways a gentleman. He treat-
ed everyone fairly. I really
enjoyed him. It was a sad
day."
Sharron Beals, former
executive director of Beech-
wood on the Bay — "As a
professional, Henry lived
and worked upholding the
highest level of professional
and personal principles. He
leaves a journalism legacy
that no one could crificize
for those same strong per-
sonal and professional val-
ues left no room for bad
judgement."

UNITY AWARDS - Theodore DeCristofaro, right, outgoing president of the Ward 2 Civic As-
sociation, presented Unity Awards in January, 1977 to (from left) Win Bettinson of radio station
WJDA; Marie D'Olimpio, who at the time was a newswriter for The Patriot Ledger but is now
on the Quincy Sun staff; and Henry W. Bosworth, publisher of The Quincy Sun.
THE MUSCULAR DYSTOPHY ASSOCIATION was a community cause that was near and
dear to Henry W. Bosworth, Jr. In this 1978 photo, Richard J. Koch (left), executive secretary
of the Quincy Park - Recreation Board and Quincy Sun Publisher Henr> Bosworth, received
MDA awards from Channel 5's Natalie Jacobson and Chet Curtis at a reception in Dedham. Mr.
Koch and Mr. Bosworth served together as co-chairmen of the Quincy-South Shore Jerry Lewis
Labor Day Telethon Committee for many years and the Sun office was the local pledge center.
The conunittee and pledge center raised more than $1 million for MDA.
Sun Founder Henry Bosworth: He Loved Quincy
Cont'd From Page 12
Bruce Ayers, state rep.
from Quincy — "Henry
was a quiet giant with a
lot of friendly persuasion
which he selflessly used to
help, others. Through love
and passion for the city, his
stories in The Quincy Sun
reflected the pride and his-
tory of the city of Quincy.
Having worked with Henry
over the years, I always ad-
mired his fairness and sound
judgement. His passing is
a tremendous loss for the
city of Quincy. I will always
remember him with fond-
ness."
John Gillis, former
city clerk and current Nor-
folk County conrniissioner
— "I've known Henry for
some 70 years. He was a true
Quincy Pointer even though
he lived in Braintree. He was
a remarkable individual . He
started in joumalism in ju-
nior high school as the star
writer with the Pointer, the
school newspaper. He was
honest, reliable and always
did his best for the city of
Quincy. My prayers go out
to his family."
Dean Rizzo, executive
director of Quincy 2000
Collaborative —"There is
not question what Henry
has brought and done for
the city. It can't be put into
words he has meant to the
community. I have always
had a great deal of respect
and admiration for him as a
person and as a hard-work-
ing dedicated businessman
in the city for so long."
Mark Carey, executive
director of Discover Quincy
— "Henry was a treasure.
He knew more about this
city than anyone. We lost
a wealth of information. I
learned so much. My last
meeting with Henry turned
into an hour and a half and
I learned so much."
Rev. John Swanson,
pastor of the Union Congre-
gational Church of Wollas-
ton — "He was 'Mr. Quin-
cy,' more than Mr. Quincy,
a personal friend, a mentor.
It goes without saying he
was always interested in the
comifiunity, its present and
its future. And the paper, an
excellent, excellent paper.
I really believe this is the
best city in the country and
he believed that, too, and
put out an excellent paper. I
was probably his worst pa-
per boy on Saturdays and I
didn't pay my bill on time
and he'd tell me I'd land in
jail."
David Macintosh, son
of former Plan E Mayor
David 'Tuck" Mcintosh —
"He was a square shooter,
always for the little guy,
very compassionate, very
ethical, self-effacing and
generous. We go a long way
back. He was sui generis
(one of a kind)."
Dan Raymond], city
councillor from Ward 2 —
"Henry was the consummate
professional journalist who
cared deeply on getting the
story but first getting it right
with sensitivity. What came
through was his love of the
city, particularly Quincy
Point where he grew up. I
don't know anyone who had
an unkind word for him. He
will be sorely missed."
Jack Powers, former ad-
vertising director of The Sun
from Houghs Neck — "I
worked for Henry for six or
seven years in the late '70s.
He was one of the few who
understood all aspects of the
newspaper business. With
most it was news or busi-
ness, never both.
"I remember when we
moved from the office over
Kincaides to the present
storefront location standing
with Henry across the street
when they installed the
big sign on the front of the
building. He couldn't take
his eyes off it. "I made it," he
said. That was all. To some
it would have been small . To
Henry, it was big."
Jay Davis, president of
the City Council — "The
city has obviously suffered
a great loss. Henry loved
his newspaper and he was a
tremendou.s asset to Quincy
May the warm thoughts and
prayers of a grateful city
ease the loss being felt by
the Bosworth family during
these challenging times."
Maralin Manning, exec-
utive director of the Quincy
Business Association ---
"For me, Henry gave true
meaning to the word fnend-
ship. He was truly a 'gentle'
man who I have been very
fortunate to have called 'my
friend.'"
Don Uvanitte, senior
vice president of Eastern
Insurance Group - "The
city of Quincy and the busi-
ness community suffered a
loss. He was such a support-
er of Quincy and supporter
of the business community.
He was always the consum-
mate professional, always
fair. Most of all, I'll miss his
friendship."
Dave McCarthy, vice
chairman of the School
Comrmttee — "1 was
stunned. He'll be sorely
missed. He was an icon and a
legend in the city of Quincy,
a wonderful, wonderful guy
who was the foundation of
great journalism in the city,
very open and very accom-
modating to all of us. Just
a straight forward guy, his
mission was accomplished
in Quincy.
Trish Bossart. former
Quincy Sun photographer,
currently employed in the
City Clerk's office -- "When
1 think of Henry. 1 think
of a true gentleman with a
kind and gentle nature His
fairness and distinctive in-
sight is what made him a

unbeatable journalist. His

the young at heart was un-
paralleled. It It happened in
Quincy, Henry was cover-
ing it. As a former member
of his staff for 13 years, I
am so proud to have been
part of Henry's Quincy Sun
staff."
Jim Timmins, city so-
licitor -- "Although the
pnnt media business has
changed dramatically over
the years resulting in the de-
mise of many newspapers.
The Quincy Sun continued
to flourish by following the
lead of its publisher, who
was always honest, direct
and unbiased. Henry was a
gentleman and a class act
and will be missed both as
a newsman and a man by
those of us who knew him."
Joe Catalano, former
news and program director
for WJDA and current host
of AM Quincy on Quincy
Access TV — '"The jour-
nalism profession has lost
a dedicated member of the
fourth estate. Henry epito-
mized the essence of the
truth in reporting while at
dedicated to the community
and its people. He always
had time to hear a story and
always made you feel as
if your story was the most
important in his day. Henry
perfected the art of reporting
the news without becoming
it. He will be missed."
Barry Welch, director of
recreation — "You always
knew with Henry in charge
that the reporting of youth
athletics would always be
positive. No one ever struck
out, he usually made a great
play in the outfield. He knew
what was important and al-
ways found room for that.
The community suffered an
irreplaceable loss."
Bob FitzGerald of South
Shore Buick — "He's irre-
placeable, an integral part of
the Quincy community. It's
hard to imagine Quincy be-
ing the same without him. In
fact, it won't be."
Leo Kelly, Ward 1 coun-
cillor — "He was always my
friend. He never hurt any-
body and he never would.
He was fair to everybody.
He never wrote a story that
will be sorely missed. There
will never be another."
Kim Trillcott, city pur-
chasing department — "It
comes with great sadness
— the passing of one of the
nicest men 1 have ever met.
I feel it an honor to have got
to know him over the past
14 years that 1 have worked
for the city of Quincy."
Dr. Allan Yacubian,
Quincy dentist and the origi-
nal 'Yakoo' — "He has been
such an asset to the city of
Quincy. That newspaper of
his is a wonderful thing. He
gave the news. He didn't
taint it. He gave you what
was going on. He was like a
treasure that we had."
Russell Dupuis, long-
time friend and World War
II veteran - "There'll never
be another one like him, al-
ways ready to help and lis-
ten to everybody."

80 buildings in the Quincy
Center Zoning District.
A team, lead by Nick
Avery, Senior Principal In-
vestigator in Architecture
and Landscape History for
Gray & Pape, is conduct-
ing the survey according
the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Commission's analyti-
cal framework for cultural
resources relating to the
historical evolution of cities
and towns within the Com-
monwealth.
The survey will identify
buildings and structures that
are architecturally and his-
torically significant in the
history and development of
the Quincy Center Zoning
Districts. The survey will
include both representative
and outstanding examples
of the building forms, types,
and styles present within
the district. The final report
should be completed by
June 2009.
"We have enjoyed work-
ing with the City of Quincy's
Department of Planning and
Community Development
and the Massachusetts His-
torical Commission on this
project. Quincy Center has
a rich mixture of commer-
cial and residential build-
ings representing its long
history from its founding up
until the present," said Nick
Avery of Gray & Pape. "We
have been fortunate to have
the help of the staffs of the
Quincy Planning Depart-
ment, as well as the Histori-
cal Society and the Crane
Library in finding old views
of the Center, but we are
sure that many of Quincy's
residents have collections
that are yet untapped. We
would welcome any and all
views of buildings and street
scenes from within the City
Center District."
The Survey Final Report
will include: an abstract,
methodology statement,
street index, a discussion
of the themes and contexts
used to define National Reg-
ister eligible districts and
areas, as well as a GIS base
map showing the location of
all inventories resources.

Help On College Issue
Cont 'd From Page 9
spite any official break and
that is a major concern.
Raymondi believes the
college has a capital fund
"in excess of $10 million"
and said his primary concern
is that the city benefits from
its longtime investment in
Quincy College.
Community colleges are
booming now and Raymon-
di questions how to estimate
the value of "Quincy" in
the college's name, and the
value of the institution.
"We are in the most se-
rious economic crisis since
the depression," said Ray-
mondi, adding it is in the
city's interest to properly
evaluate the college before
approving the severance.
Paul Phillips, head of the
Quincy Education Associa-
tion (QEA), held a different
viewpoint from Raymondi.
"This is a win-win for
all," Phillips said. The
'Quincy College faculty, as
members of the QEA, is

union which has negotiated

Quincy College celebrat-
ed its 50th anniversary in
2008, marking it beginnings
as a one-year institution
called Quincy Junior Col-
lege.
In recent years, the col-
lege's accrediting agency,
the New England Asso-
ciation of Schools and Col-
leges, has recommended
that the college sever its ties
with the city.
The college's board of
governors voted to break
from the city in 2006.
Once the college estab-
lishes its independence, it
will become a private col-
lege.

Funeral Mass Today For Sun Founder Henry Bosworth
Cant 'd From Pane 2
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
Today, three of his chil-
dren are on the newspaper's
staff: Donna J. Gray, the
circulation manager and
accounts receivable book-
keeper; Dorothy Newman,
an assistant bookkeeper; and
Robert H. Bosworth, who
joined the paper in 1987 af-
ter graduating from the Uni-
versity of New Hampshire
and became the Sun's editor
in 1991.
"We know first-hand of
the sacrifice our father made
to establish this newspaper
and keep it in circulation
week after week," Robert
Bosworth said. "Dad
seldom took any time off
and wouldn't think of
retirement. For many years,
Henry worked six days a
week, including Saturdays.
Every Tuesday - the day
the Sun goes to press - he
stayed until the issue was
completed. The paper was
his life - but his family still
came first."
Robert Bosworth said his
father's love for the City of
Quincy "was unparalleled
and was exceeded only by
his love and devotion to
his family. He was a loving
husband and a devoted
father, grandfather and
great-grandfather as well
as a wonderful son, brother
and uncle. He considered
The Quincy Sun his "sixth"
child and he guided the
paper the past four decades
with tremendous respect as
Quincy's hometown weekly
newspaper."
Robert Bosworth said his
father's passion was Quincy
news. "Henry was fond
of saying 'we are proud
to carry the name Quincy
in our banner. That's what
we're all about: Quincy. The
best city in the world.'
"He took great pride
and was so appreciative
in knowing the Sun has
had so many dedicated
and loyal supporters since
that first issue rolled off
the presses Sept. 26, 1968.
And, despite the advent of
the internet and websites as
news sources, Henry was
steadfast in his belief that
Quincy deserves a weekly
newspaper as a reliable
and relevant source of
local happenings, including
politics, sports, social and
entertainment articles,
human interest news and
features, most notably his
familiar Sunbeams column
that he cranked out week-
after-week on his trusty
manual Royal Typewriter.
"Quincy will never see
another Henry Bosworth
and his passing leaves
a tremendous void not
only for the city but much
more so for his family who
loved him so dearly."
Besides publishing
The Quincy Sun, Mr.
Bosworth was a pillar of the
community. He was active
in many local organizations
and was an ardent supporter
of countless civic causes.
He was a member of the
Cyril P. Morrisette American
Legion Post of Quincy, the
Quincy Sons of Italy, Quincy
Lodge of Elks, Quincy-

was instrumental m erecting
lights at the city's stadium.
For many years he served
as co-chairman of The
Quincy-South Shore Jerry
Lewis Labor Day Telethon.
The telethon raised over $1
million for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
Mr. Bosworth was
recognized by numerous
community groups,
including the Quincy
Historical Society, American
Red Cross, Beech wood
on the Bay, United Way,
Veterans of Foreign Wars,
South Shore Y MCA. Quincy
Lodge of Elks, Quincy
Education Association
and the Quincy School -
Community Partnership.
He was also honored as
the recipient of the James
R. Mclntyre Humanitarian
Award, the Quincy Jewish
War Veterans Citizen of the
Year and by Maria Droste
Services.

of the Salvation Army's
first "Community Service
Award."
Mr. Bosworth was a
long-time member of the
Quincy Center Business and
Professional Association and
recipient of the association's
Member of the Year Award .
He served on the Quincy
Salvation Army Advisory
Board. During the past
few holiday seasons. Mr.
Bosworth organized a

manned by community
leaders to help raise funds

Valentine Wishes
in a Box
Let surprise love notes
spill out from a box this
Valentine's Day to show
your kids how much you
care. Or get the whole fami-
ly involved in the crafting
and help your Icids create
this unique and easy-to-
make valentine for someone
special in their lives. All you
need is a small, empty valen-
tine candy box, paper, rib-
bon, scissors, markers, tape,
glue and an extra dose of
sweet thoughts to share.
Here's how:
Start with a small- or medi-
um-size heart-shaped
chocolate candy box. Paint
or cover the box lid with
construction paper and
write, "I love you because
..." on the top.
Cut out a heart shape from
a piece of paper or index
card so that the shape fits
perfectly inside the box.
Remove it from the box and
use it as a pattern to make a
heart-shaped paper garland.
can give lavish gifts on a
limited budget. Some of the
most popular Valentine's
Day gifts are jewelry, gour-
met food and personal in-
dulgences and all of them
can fit into a small budget.
A Toast to Love:
Many couples pop the
cork on a celebratory bottle
Using the heart pattern,
trace and cut out about 10
identical heart shapes from
construction paper. On one
side of each heart, write a
different reason why you
love the recipient of your
valentine. For example:
"You tell funny jokes,"
"Your smile makes everyone
happy," "You give big hugs,"
"You are a great helper" or
"You are kind."
Once you have written the
words on each heart, turn
them over and line them up
in a horizontal row on a
table. Lay a length of ribbon
across the middle point of all
of the hearts, leaving an
extra inch of ribbon dan-
gling over the left side and 5
inches over the right side.
Glue the ribbon to the hearts
to connect them. Let dry.
Tape the 1 -inch ribbon end
inside the base of the box.
Accordion-fold the hearts
and set them inside. The
longer ribbon will be on top.
Thread a bead onto the rib-
bon and knot, if you wish.
Place the lid on the box. Tie
a ribbon around it and give it
to someone special on
Valentine's Day. When the
box is opened, the person
can pull the ribbon to reveal
all of the heartfelt expres-
sions.

of champagne, but a bottle
of the real French spirit can
run you a costly $40 to $ 1 20
or more. Instead, look for
domestic sparkling whites
or an Italian Prosecco, an
inexpensive, crisp sparkling
white wine.
Gourmet Chocolates:
A heart-shaped box filled
with chocolate is almost cli-
che. When it comes to choc-
olate, it's quality, not quan-
tity, that counts. A small
box of gourmet chocolates
in trendy flavors like curry,
cardamom, black pepper,
red wine and goat cheese
will make much more of an
impact than a big box of bor-
ing generic chocolates with
mystery filling. If you'd like
to try something different,
try a small tin of caramels
with sea salt.
Jewelry:
Diamonds may be a girl's
best friend, but a piece of
classic and stunning peari
jewelry for Valentine's Day
is an affordable, unexpected
and appreciated surprise.
Freshwater pearl earrings
or bracelets give a high-
end look for a budget price
and you can celebrate the
colors of the holiday with a
gorgeous pink or lavender
cultured freshwater peari
necklace. Pearl Paradise,
com offers freshwater peari
earrings starting at just $19.
Make a unique statement
and show her she's the only
one in your life with the
symbolic and exotic Ta-
hitian pearl pendant from
Pearl Paradi se com .
Dinner for Two:
A romantic dinner for
two at a restaurant can easi-
ly break the bank. But a can-
dlelit gourmet dinner for two
at home comes in at much
less and also scores points
for thoughtful ness. You can
break out the cook book and
make recipes from scratch
or log on to any number of
Web sites and have a three
or four course feast deliv-
ered to your door.
The Gift of Time:
Time is the ultimate
luxury and giving the gift
of your undivided attention
for an entire weekend, run-
ning a relaxing bubble bath
or giving a foot massage is
the best and most heartfelt
gift of all.
Whatever you're shop-
ping for this Valentine's
Day, don't wait until the last
minute. Shopping ahead can
save big money. Look for
sales at your favorite stores
and surf around for great
deals online. Pearl Paradise,
com, for example, offers
pearls up to 80 percent off
retail price. Remember, put-
ting some thought into your
gift and thinking ahead truly
shows you care.

Valentine's Day Love Potions Are Romantic And Affordable
(ARA) - Whether you're
in a brand new relationship
or a marriage that has lasted
for decades, you can use ar-
omatherapy to enhance the
romance. For Valentine's
Day, save the expense of
a dozen roses, and present
your beloved with a selec-
tion of fragrant essential oils
that can help create a pas-
sionate connection between
you and your partner. It's a
gift that can be used over
and over, lasting long af-
ter any roses have withered
away.
How do the aromas of es-
sential oils impact romance?
Through the olfactory lobe
- the part of the brain that
processes scent, which is
part of the limbic system

that's associated with emo-
tion and the formation of
memory. Tom Havran, aro-
matherapy specialist at Aura
Cacia, says essential oils can
be used to facilitate a wide
range of moods including
romantic ones.
"There are a number of
oils that lovers and aspiring
lovers might find useful,"
says Havran. "Depending
on the situation, you might
want to create a relaxing at-
mosphere, a stimulating one
or a sensual one. Essential
oils are the perfect starting
point."
Essential oils have the
potential to elicit romance
on four different levels.
Some oils offer calming ef-
fects that reduce anxiety and
self-consciousness, thereby
opening the path to inti-
macy. Other oils are known
for their stimulating and in-
spiring properties, and some
can impact the hormonal
system directly, increasing
sexual desire. And there
are oils that have been used
throughout history as sexual
attractants. It's said that
Cleopatra, one of the most
well-known seductresses
in history, used a variety
of scents and essential oils
to create an atmosphere of
passion for her relationship
with Marc Antony.
Here is Havran's run-
down of the most popular
essential oils in each of these
romantic categories:
* Calming: geranium,
clary sage, lavender, sweet
marjoram.
* Stimulating: carda-
mom, nutmeg.
* Arousing: neroli, rose,
ylang ylang.
Attracting: sandalwood,
patchouli, jasmine, cedar-
wood.
Whichever essential oils
you choose, they will work
best if you create an envi-
ronment where emotional
and sensual closeness can
thrive. If you have children,
for example, make arrange-
ments with friends or grand-
parents to take them for the
evening, so that you'll have
uninterrupted time to focus
on one another. Draw a hot
bath for your partner, adding
a few drops of essential oil
to the water and light some
candles around the tub. Or
create a romantic ambiance
in any room by diffusing the
aromatic essential oils into
the air with candle lamp dif-
fusers or lamp rings.

Real Love Is So Many Things
By LAURA GRIFFIN
There's love in a box of
chocolates and a dozen roses
but, oh, so much more in a
sister's gift of hfe.
Nobody defines Valen-
tines Day and true love better
than Maryrose Mirick who
says she's been blessed with
every form of love, but the
gift of life, a kidney given to
her 25 years ago, stands out.
"One of the most out-
standing acts of unselfish
love 1 experienced in life was
the day my younger sister,
Patricia Sullivan, gave me
one of her kidneys in 1983,"
said Mirick
"This year," she said,
"1 got to celebrate my 25th
Christmas with this kidney,
with all my family and our
92-year-old Mom.
"With Valentines Day just
around the comer, I thought 1
would remind everyone that
love is not just about couples,
chocolates, candy and roses,
it is about all kinds of love
and the love we get to share
and give."
Thanks to her sister's
kidney, Mirick said she's en-
joyed a quarter of a century
of sand and sunny summers
and "...seen a lot of Christ-
mases."
After the transplant, Mir-
ick became the mother of
two daughters, one adopted
and one full-term birth; the
grandmother of Juliahna
Rose, 4, and. in her fifties,
she earned teaching certifica-
tion at UMass, Plymouth.
After earning her degree,
Mirick taught fashion design
at North Quincy High School
for four years.
VALENTINES' LOVE is the gift of life for Maryrose Mirick
who is shown with her mother Mary Sullivan, 92, of WoUaston,
and her youngest sister, Patricia Sullivan, Quincy, w ho donated
a kidney to Maryrose in 1973. Patricia is a kindergarten teacher
at Snug Harbor Elementary School.
"1 loved those kids." said
Mirick of the 1 32 students in
her classes each year.
Mirick thinks she got the
teaching bug, along with the
kidney, from her sister Patri-
cia, a kindergarten teacher
at Snug Harbor Elemen-
tary School, "She put that in
me."
A Quincy native, Mirick
lives in Weymouth with her
husband, Wayne, who is em-
ployed by the Quincy Public
Schools. She is one of seven
children of Mar> Sullivan
and the late John J. Sullivan.
Sr.. who served on the Quin-
cy School Committee and
was employed as a federal
mediator,
"All of them wanted to be
tested," Mirick said, recalling
the spring of 1983 when the
six Sullivan siblings learned
Maryrose needed a new kid-
ney. "They (hospital) would
only test four."
At the time. Mirick didn't
want her siblings" sacrifice.
"1 wanted to do cadavers."
All of those tested were
matches with Mirick. but
none was so perfect a match
as "my bab) sister " Patricia,
then 24, was "so identical,
she was as close as an identi-
cal twin."
The two sisters recuper-
ated at their mother's WoUas-
ton home and. as Mirick re-
calls. They spent that spring
resting in recliners She was
so optimistic that she and her
husband bought their first
house during her convales-
cence.
At the time, the donor
needed more physical recov-
ery than the recipient did but
times have changed
"She was sicker than me,"
said Mirick who mar\eled at
recent medical strides that al-
low kidneys to be removed
from women through the
vagina without any invasive
surgery.
Today, Mirick wants peo-
ple to know that transplants
work and they should think
of her. "if anybody is ever
doubting."
Mirick's kidney was dam-
aged by a condition diagnosed
as Hypereosinophilic. "It's
like a leukemia. It attacks the
organs, the kidney."
The condition is not yet
curable and has. recently,
begun to damage Mirick's
heart. "I'm holding m\ own.
The only thing that's holding
me down is my ticker."
Mirick wasn't diagnosed
until after her marriage when
she was trying to become
pregnant and was screened
by her gynecologist She re-
calls that little was known of
the condition in the l97(Js
and i9H()\ At one point, she
had been diagnosed wnh h\
perglycemia
Cirowing up. she jusi
thought that It was normal
to have the indigestion and
stomach upsets that bothered
her so frequently
Ihis Valentine's Day. she
wants everyone to know what
real love is and how love can
be spread around in so many
different ways.
Last Christmas, she gave
her wedding rings to her two
daughters.
"I just wanted them to
have them and my husband
Wayne of almost 35 years
was fine with It." she said "It
made me so happy to be able
to do that "'

much of their home's sales
price as possible.
Many are deciding to sell
their home themselves in-
stead of hiring a real estate
agent. Recent studies from
Northwestern and Stanford
Universities have found that
"by owner" sellers are as
effective as agents in maxi-
mizing a home's sales price.
After commissions are fac-
tored, the studies reported,
these sellers are able to re-
tain more of their home's
equity than those who sold

Installing Closet
Shelves
« I want to set up more
.shelves and hanging
Is in my small bedroom
closet so that I can store
more stuff in it. I decided
to get some of those white,
metal-grid shdving kits
that you just screw into the
wall because they cost less
and are supposedly easy to
install. But I don't have a
clue how to go about this.
Any tips? — Frank in
Chesapeake Bay
A* The first thing to do is
• measure your closet
space so that you luiow
exactly how much sl^iving
you can put into it. Take a
tape measure and get the
height, width and the depth
of ttie closet. You *11 need this
in order to make the c(»Tect
kit purchase.
Next, decide what ccmfigu-
ration you'd lilce in the clos-
et: how many shelves, how
much hanging space and so
on.
Third, compare shelving
kits at a home-improvement
or hardware store to the kits
available at most department
stores. You may find more
choice at a hcnne improve-
ment store, plus the ability to
expand or change your con-
iiguraticm by purchasing
individual components.
Fmally, follow the direc-
tions closely when doing the
instaUaticMi. Make sure you
have all the a]:^ropnate tools
before starting wcmIc, and
remember the axiom "mea-
sure twice, cut once." Figure
out that final configuration
before starting the shelving
installation. You're working
with drywall and studs, so
you don't want to have to
pull things out of that wall
once they're placed.

with an agent.
Furthermore, Consumer
Reports magazine found that
"for sale by owner" (FSBO)
sellers are more likely to
get their asking price while
agents deliver, on average,
a sales price that is $5,000
less than the original asking
price.
"In a market where pric-
es are falling, people should
really consider selling their
home themsel ves ," says Greg
Healy of ForSaleByOwner.
com — the nation's leading
for sale by owner Web site.
"Selling a home through an
agent means giving up 5 to 7
percent of the sales price in
the form of real estate com-
mission fees. Selling your
home without an agent of-
fers an immediate savings
of at least that much "
Since it is a buyer's mar-
ket where there are plenty
of homes available, it's im-
portant to be aggressive and
make your home stand out.
Healy offers some tips to
help you sell your home "by
owner.
Price it Right
When you're not paying
a sales commission, you can
afford to price your home
more aggressively. In this
market, buyers are looking
for the best deal possible
so the more competitive
you can be at pricing your
home, the quicker it will
sell. Homes that go on the
market priced above similar
homes tend to take longer to
sell. So make sure you price
your home right to move it
fast.
Remember, the market
dictates the price of your
home, not what you think
it should be worth. Use the
Internet to research the sales
amount of similar homes
recently sold in your neigh-
borhood. Get an online ap-
praisal to give you a solid
idea of where your home
should be priced.
Make a Great First Im-
pression
Today's buyers are at-
tracted to open, clean, spa-
cious and updated homes.
Remove personalized items
such as family photos and
clear all clutter from coun-
tertops, closets, tables and
floors. Simple improve-
ments like fixing broken
tiles, cleaning carpets and
repainting walls in neutral
colors can greatly enhance
the appeal of your house.
If you're having an open
house, remove all evidence
of pets (dog kermels, cat
boxes, hamster cages) and
make sure the house smells
great by baking a batch of
cookies or lighting a scented
candle. If ever there was a
time for a thorough top to
bottom cleaning, this is it!
Get Help and Market the
Home
Using a service like For-
SaleByOwner.com helps
you avoid paying commis-
sion to an agent while still
getting support every step of
the way. The site is one of
the largest and fastest grow-
ing real estate websites with
thousands of buyers visiting
it each day. Using ForSale-
ByOwner.com also allows
you to advertise your prop-
erty on Realtor.com, the
country's most p>opular real
estate website with more
than 5 million monthly visi-
tor.
It is also wise to hire an
experienced real estate at-
torney to help you evalu-
ate complicated offers, act
as an escrow agent, review
contracts and handle your
home's closing process.
Unless you're significantly
experienced in the home
selling process, having a
real estate lawyer on your
side ensures that someone
is looking out for your best
interests. A lawyer will only
cost a few hundred dollars
and, as Healy advises, is
money well spent.

Make Living Naturally Second Nature At Home
(ARA) - Many families
are interested in adopting a
more natural lifestyle, es-
pecially when they're met
by life-changing moments,
such as welcoming a new
baby, adopting a pet, or buy-
ing a new home. According
to a recent survey, however,
while 78 percent of parents
want their families to do
more to live naturally, al-
most as many (63 percent)
think that making changes
would be difficult.
"Families don't have to
overhaul their entire life-
styles to go natural," said
Jen Singer, lifestyle expert,
author and founder of Mom-
masaid.net, an online re-
source for moms. "Instead,
you can take small steps that
are easy, convenient and af-

fordable. Even small chang-
es can have a big impact on
our homes and the world we
live in."
Singer offers the follow-
ing five tips to help families
live more naturally.
* Leave it at the door.
Make it a household rule to
kick off shoes when enter-
ing the home. Preventing
outdoor pollutants and loose
surface dirt from coming in-
side can save water and en-
ergy because it means less
mopping and vacuuming.
* Conquer cleaning natu-
rally and effectively. Try
cleaning your home with
natural cleaners, such as the
new Nature's Source line
from SC Johnson. The prod-
ucts are powerful cleaners
made with 99-plus percent
natural and naturally-derived
ingredients. What's more,
the products are affordable
and available in many gro-
cery and mass merchandise
stores.
* Pull the plug. Unplug
electronics that aren't in
use. If the phone charger is
sticking out of the electrical
outlet without a phone on
the other end, it's still us-
ing energy. Encourage other
family members to unplug
their phone chargers , laptops
and handheld game chargers
when they're not in use.
* Carry a full load. Maxi-
mize the efficiency of appli-
ances and conserve water
and electricity by operating
the washer, dryer and dish-
washer with full loads. In
some areas, electric com-
panies may offer less ex-
pensive nighttime rates, so
it's possible to save money
by miming electrical appli-
ances at night.
* Hang it to dry. In
the long run, a dryer does
more damage breaking
down clothing fibers than
the washer. Hanging clean
laundry on a line will save
energy and that favorite pair
of jeans.
Using these savvy tips
will make it easier to live
a more natural lifestyle at
home without paying a pre-
mium. For more tips to live

Spring Equipment Check-Up Guide
(ARA) - Spring is the
start of the lawn care sea-
son, and with a little work
early in the year your lawn
and garden equipment will
be ready to perform all sea-
son long. This guide will
help you move into the yard
without a hitch.
Safety First
• Remove the power cord,
spark plug wire, or battery
for cordless equipment prior
to performing any service.
Also gloves and eye protec-
tion are required to safely
perform service.
• Next, check all of the
unit's fasteners, replace any
that are missing, and tighten
loose fasteners to the manu-
facturer's recommended
tightness. Loose and miss-
ing fasteners are a frequent
cause of trips to the repair
shop, and can be dangerous.
Sharp Cutters are Key
• Evaluate the condi-
tion of any blades, cutting
attachments or blower im-
pellers. If in poor condi-
tion, these items will impair
performance and can cause
injury.
• It's probably best to
leave maintenance of these
items to a professional un-
less you are a very skillful
mechanic and instructions
for removal, replacement
and sharpening are readily
available.
Electric Equipment
• Electric equipment's
external cords and wires
should be checked for fray-
ing.
• Check all extension
cords used to power these
products. Any frayed cords
and wires should be repaired
immediately by a certified
technician. Replace any bad
extension cords. Don't risk
using the unit or extension
cord even once as dangerous
shocks can result.
• Ensure that all switches
are intact and activate free-
ly. Fully charge the battery,
if applicable.
Gas Powered Equip-
ment
• Perform the simple
maintenance procedures
from the owner's manual.
• Check the oil before
starting any small engine
that doesn't use gas/oil fuel
mix. Place the product on
level ground to avoid false
readings. If the oil is low, fill
it to the recommended level
with the specified oil. Also,
while some oil consumption
is normal for small engines,
now is a good time to check
for oil leaks that need to be
addressed by a professional .
• Check the air filter;
carefully clean dirt, oil, and
debris off the filter cover
and the surrounding area
before removing the cover.
Examine the filter, and if it
is dirty, replace or clean it
per manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
• More experienced DI-
Yers might want to change
the oil and filter and check
the spark plug. Make sure
that your fuel is fresh as
stale fuel can damage your
engine. Unless you used a
fuel stabilizer like Sta-Bil
from Gold Eagle Co., any
fuel more than 90 days old
needs to be properly dis-
posed of.
Cables and Levers
• Check to make sure all
of these cables and levers
operate smoothly. If they
don't, lubricate or replace
them.
Startup
• Connect the spark plug
wire and fire up engine-pow-
ered equipment. Follow-
ing the operator's manual
instructions, fill up the fuel
tank with fresh fuel, making
sure there are no fuel leaks,
and start the engine.
• If the engine doesn't
start, it is often because un-
stabilized fuel was left in
the unit during storage. This
stale fuel doesn't like to
burn, and leaves varnish in
your carburetor's small pas-
sages and the fuel line. But
all is not lost. If stale fuel
and a dirty fuel system are
the causes of hard starting,
try a product like Start Your
Engines! fuel system revi-
talizer. These starting fluids/
system cleaners can refresh
stale fuel and clean muck
out of your fuel system just
by pouring them into the
unit's fuel tank. It's an easy
and economical way to fix a
gunked-up engine.
• If the engine still will
not start after trying a fuel
system revitalizer, it's best
to get a professional to eval-
uate the problem.

Your Engines! fuel revital-

Paying Taxes
During Hard
Times
By now you should have
received your W-2 or 1099
forms for your taxes If
you've run the numbers and
suspect you're gomg to be
short when it's time to pay,
you're not alone. Lots of
people are exp)enencing
adverse financial situations
right now, and the Internal
Revenue Service knows this.
It's devoted a whole section
of its Web site to help you.
Gather your information
now. The worst thing you
can do is delay makmg a
game plan.
Here are some things you
need to know :
— If you lose your job and
get severance pay, it's tax-
able, including any amounts
for sick time or vacation pay.
— If you get unemploy-
ment compensation, it's tax-
able.
— Even if your employer
went out of business, it must
provide you a W-2 form by
Jan 31 Contact the IRS for
help in getting a substitute
W-2.
— For information on
moving or cashing out an
IRA, moving costs to take a
new job, getting food stamps
or selling assets, see IRS
Publication 4128 (Tax
Impact of Job Loss).
— Keep track of your
mileage iind expenses
(including having a resume
written) while you hunt for a
job. They might be
deductible See IRS Publica-
tion 529 if you have expens-
es related to your work or if
you move more than 50
miles aw ay to take a new job.
Debt cancellation gen-
erally incurs a tax liability
For example, if you settle a
credit-card debt for less than
you owe, the forgiven
amount becomes income
that is taxable. However, this
is not necessarily so with
mortgage forgiveness,
including foreclosure. The
Mortgage Debt Relief Act of
20()7 creates exceptions to
the kind of debt cancellation
that IS taxable. See the
details in Publication 468 1 .
If you have an install-
ment agreement for a prior
tax year, and you can't meet
your payments because
you've lost a job, call the
IRS. It's possible that the
IRS will be able to reduce
those payments. Be pre-
pared to supply proof of
your changed situation.
If you already suspect that
you won't be able to pay all
your taxes by April, there are
options such as a short-term
extension, offer in compro-
mise and installment agree-
ments. Don't be too hasty in
setting up an arrangement,
however. Your situation
could change by April.

On Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009, at approximately 12:57
p.m.. Officers Joseph McGunigle and William Lan-
ergan were dispatched to a family disturbance call
in the Main Street area of Quincy Point.
Upon arrival, the officers were greeted at the door
by a man who stated that
he lived there, was the
husband, that everything
was alright and they were
no longer needed. The
officers said that they
needed to see the other
occupants in the apart-
ment to make sure that
everyone was safe.
Once let in, they ob-
served the man's wife
shaken and crying. Of-
ficer McGunigle led the wife into another room in
order to interview her away from her husband, while
Officer Lanergan interviewed the husband.
According to the victim, her husband went out in
the morning but did not telling her were he was go-
ing. She attempted to reach him by telephone so that
he would buy milk for their baby. When the hus-
band returned home, he questioned his wife about
where she was the day before, growing angry as he
yelled that he called her numerous times but she did
not pick up the phone.
When his wife tried to explain that she was down
in the basement doing laundry, he said he did not be-
lieve her and grew angrier after each of her respons-
es. She said that she missed other calls because she
was in the shower, but her husband made it clear that
he did not beheve her.
At this point, the husband grabbed his wife by the
back of her head and pulled her down by the hair
to the floor. This occurred in the kitchen area and
was witnessed by their 3 year old daughter, who had
been in the living room watching T.V.. The husband
then choked his wife with his left hand as he kept
A Job Well Done
pulling on her hair, screaming at her that he did not
believe what she was saying.
The wife was able to briefly escape her husband's
hold and ran to the kitchen wall phone and started
to dial "911." As she dialed, she told him, "I'm call-
ing the police." The husband rushed over and ended
the call.
The wife then went into the living room area,
where the child was , and picked up her cell phone . She
again forewarned her husband, "I'm calling the po-
lice." Her husband retorted, "Don't call the police -
I'll kill you." He then rushed over, took the cell phone
from her and hung up the call. The husband then sat
down with the daughter.
The victim went back into the kitchen, picked up
the wall phone again, and this time she was able to
get through to the Quincy Police before her husband
came out to the kitchen. Officer McGunigle noted that
the wife had visible red marks all around the front area
of her neck. Their daughter appeared to be unharmed
and calm, even though she witnessed this traumatic
event.
The officers informed the husband that he was under
arrest and requested that he come out to the hallway
so they could handcuff him privately, away from his
daughter's view. As the husband left the apartment,
the daughter started crying.
As the officers were handcuffing the husband in
the hallway, the wife opened the door and pleaded,
"Please don't arrest him - Please don't arrest him,"
over and over. This only upset the daughter even more.
After Officer Lanergan left with the husband. Officer
McGunigle re-entered the apartment and provided the
wife with an information card explaining her rights as
well as services offered to victims and their families.
She was upset that her call led to her husband being
arrested.
The officer calmly explained that he is required by
law to take action when he has reason to believe that
domestic violence had occurred. He also informed
her that he would be calling the Department of Chil-
dren and Families so that they could investigate the
welfare of the child.
A report was also submitted to assist in their in-
vestigation.
The wife was advised to seek a Restraining Order,
but she said that she did not want one. She did, how-
ever, want to know when she could pick up her hus
band up at the station and how much bail would be!
Nice Work!

Loses To Hanover, Fisher Division Out Of Reach
North Quincy Defeats
Quincy In Citywide Battle
Sun Sports
By SEAN BRENNAN
The North Quincy Red
Raiders (14-5 overall, 10-4
in Patriot League) outscored
the Quincy Presidents 12-4
in the final eight minutes of
play last Saturday afternoon
and came away with a de-
finitive 44-30 victory.
The win over Quincy
closed the book on a week
that saw North lose by dou-
ble digits to Hanover High
School (Feb. }) in a game
that decided the Patriot
League's Fisher Division
champion and a victory Fri-
day night over Randolph.
"We changed our defense
in the fourth quarter and
gave them a new look and
things started to click," said
NQ head coach Michael Jor-
genson. "Our shooting was
off in the first half. We had
easy shots but we just were
not putting them in, but that
changed in the second half.
"We were coming off a
victory last night (Friday)
where we scored 79 points
and to turnaround today and
get a win in this gym for the
last time and start clicking
the way we did was good to
see.
Quincy (4-11 overall),
which was coming off a
tough 59-30 loss to Silver
Lake Friday night, played
North Quincy tight through
two quarters, and trailed the
Raiders 16-15 at the break.
When Quincy forward Les-
lie Campbell buried a 15-
foot jumper to open the sec-
ond half, the Presidents took
their first lead of the game,
it would be her team's last
lead the rest of the way.
Buckets by NQ's Cara
Murtagh and Siobhan Car-
Girls'
Basketball
nell (15 2"^ half points)
pushed the lead to 2 1 - 1 7 and
after Catherine O'Connell
made one-of-two freebies.
North upped the score to
26-19. But the Presidents
would not go down without
a fight.
Playing in one of the last
girls' basketball game at the
QHS Gym (the new gym
will open in two years),
Quincy and North traded
baskets late in the quarter.
The Presidents super sopho-
more Kori Sorensen hit a
three-pointer; NQ's Kath-
leen Lynch connected on
a short jumper; O'Connell
scored for North; the Raid-
ers Kristina Anderson made
a layup and Sorensen fin-
ished the scoring run with a
buzzer beating two-pointer.
At the end of three quarters
the score was, 32-26, North
Quincy.
In the fourth quarter,
the Raiders locked down
on defense, allowing only
four points while scoring
12. Campbell scored first to
close the gap to 32-28, but
the Raiders scored the next
ten points to put the game
away. Camell scored seven
points in this run and sopho-
more Montana McBirney
(two points) and senior Jes-
sie Howlett (point) also con-
tributed in the final quarter.
"We just came off a tough
loss against Hanover and it
was good to come back and
play well and get the win,"
said Camell after the game.
"We have just been playing
as a team and have picked it
up on defense recently. The
seniors decided to pick it
up this season and we have
been successful. But to do
good in the postseason we
need to bo.x out and play de-
fense. The offense is there."
Fellow seniors Kath-
leen Lynch and Catherine
O'Connell expressed simi-
lar sentiments.
"1 thmk this win just
shows that we can bounce
back from any type of loss,"
said Lynch. "Hanover was
a big loss, but this win over
a good Quincy team just
shows me that we can come
back and should do well the
rest of the way."
Said O'Connell: "This
team just does what it has to
in order to win. If we con-
tinue to play solid defense,
we should be ready for the
postseason."
With just two regular sea-
son games remaining (Rock-
land and Middleboro) and
a Fisher Division title out
of reach, the Raiders have
to remain focused because
a first-round home playoff
game may be on the line.
"It had been a rough
week with that loss to Ha-
nover, but we have two
games left." said Jorgenson.
"Rockland is playing well
and are near the top of the
Fisher Division and then we
play Middleboro and then
we wait, and wait and wait
for the seeds to come out.
"We need to win these
last two to get a good seed-
ing and the way it stands
right now we should have
a home game. But as you
know, things change. We
need to keep playing hard

No Post-Season For Quincy, North Quincy
Red Raiders Gain Revenge,
Dominate Presidents
By SEAN BRENNAN
In a game that seemed
to lack the excitement and
flair of previous Quincy-
North Quincy showdowns,
the Red Raiders steamrolled
an undermanned Presidents'
squad. 77-41, at a less-
than-capacity Quincy High
School gym last Saturday
evening.
The win gave North
Quincy (4-12 overall, 2-12
in Patriot League's Fisher
Division) its fourth victory
of the season and only its
second league win, while
the loss dropped Quincy 's
record to 5-11 overall and
4-10 in the Patriot League's
Keenan Division.
With the team's loss to
North Quincy and a 59-51
defeat at the hands of Sil-
ver Lake HS last Friday, the
Presidents will be on the
outside looking in when the
Division II South Section-
als start up after the Febru-
ary school vacation break.
The Red Raiders had been
eliminated from postseason
contention weeks ago.
Quincy opened the game
by taking an early 7-4 first
quarter lead. Baskets by
senior captain John Parry
(three-pointer) and sopho-
more Robbie Bina gave the
Presidents the early advan-
tage, but the North respond-
ed with 7-0 scoring run,
highlighted by four points
from junior forward Jona-
than Coates and three points
from junior forward Mike
Stanton.
Another Parry three-
pxjinter with two minutes
left in the first quarter gave
Quincy its last lead of the
game at 11-10. After that,
the Red Raider rout was on.
When Coates and Stanton
buried jumpers late in the
quarter, North took a 15-10
lead into the second period.
In the second quarter,
North Quincy poured on
more of the same. The Raid-
ers outscored the Presidents
20-7. Again, it was Coates
Boys'
Basketball
(six points) and Stanton (four
points), along with senior
Tim Stille (three-pointer)
and junior Terrance Staley
(three points) who did the
damage. North used a suffo-
cating defense and a height
advantage on the boards to
limited Quincy to one-shot-
and-done on almost every
offensive possession. At the
half the lead had ballooned
to 35-17 Red Raiders.
The break did nothing to
slow North's momentum. A
three-pointer by Coates with
four minutes left in the third
upped the score to 46-20 and
after Stanton hit a mid-range
jump shot with seconds left
the score was 53-25 with
eight minutes to play.
In the fourth, both teams
emptied their benches, as
the game became a show-
case for a number of se-
niors playing in their last
Quincy-North game. The
Raiders' Andy Ng and Ray-
mond Fang both entered the
scorebook with points late
in the game. Quincy 's Bina
buried a late three-pointer to
complete the scoring. Final
score: 77-41 North Quincy.
"Everything just came
together for the team against
Quincy," said NQ head
coach Kevin Barrett. "Our
success starts with our de-
fense, which in turn makes
for easy offense. If we play
that type of aggressive de-
fense, we will continue to
win games.
"Our record is not what
we would like it to be, but
we knew this was going to
be a transition year but we
have progressed with game
experience and we are go-
ing to be even better next
season."
North Quincy is a young
team and in this game the
team showcased several
young stars of the future.
"Jonathan Coates, who is
only a junior, played great.
He has only gotten better as
the season has moved along.
Mike Stanton, another ju-
nior, played a solid game
and with the two of them
coming back and with our
younger players like Matt
Costa and Terrance Staley
the future is bright."
The Raiders' 4-12 re-
cord, according to Barrett,
is not indicative of the way
his team has performed this
season.
"Many of our losses have
been close games so we
hope that game experience
will have an affect on these
types of games next season
They way we played against
a good Quincy team is more
of what we expect in the fu-
ture."
For Quincy and head
coach David Parry, the out-
come of the game was a dis-
appointment.
"Kevin (Barrett) had his
team ready and up for this
game," said Parry. "They
outplayed us in every facet
of the game and you have
to give North Quincy all
the credit. We had noth-
ing to build on as the game
went along and the snowball
turned into an avalanche.
"I think our inexperience
caught up to us. But one pos-
itive was that the kids were
upset about the outcome and
maybe that is something we
can build on. I felt bad for
our seniors and it was pret-
ty emotional in the locker
room after the game ended.
But the seniors have done a
great job all year showing
leadership to our younger
players. They showed great
maturity after a tough loss."
Notes: Quincy is sched-
uled to play Hingham HS
at home today (Thursday)
at 6:30 p.m. North Quincy
will close out its season with
a home game today (Thurs-
day) against Middleboro HS.
Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m.
3 Games Lefty 4 Points Needed
Girls' Hockey Finish Week 0-2
By SEAN BRENNAN
The clock is ticking
down on the Quincy-North
Quincy girls' ice hockey
team's chances of reaching
the Division II post-season.
The team dropped a 2-1
decision to Canton HS last
Wednesday and a 4-3 game
to Boston Latin on Sunday,
and now needs to earn four
out of six points (two wins)
in their final three games to
advance.
"It was a good week even
though we lost both games,"
said Q-NQ head coach Kelli
Doolin. "The game against
Canton was a well-played
game, but we just couldn't
score that tying goal. It
was frustrating but the girls
played really well."
Freshman sensation
Presley McLaughlin contin-
ued her torrid scoring pace,
scoring her team's lone goal
of the game.
"Presley continues to im-
press as a freshman," added
Doolin. "She is one of a
number of underclassmen
who have made significant
strides this year and she will
be a big part of our improve-
ment in the years to come."
Against Boston Latin at
Northeastern University's
Matthews Arena, Q-NQ al-
lowed Boston Latin to score
the game-winning goal with
just under one minute left
in the third period. A tough
way to lose, but the game
was not a total loss.
"It was a great game and
very competitive," Doolin
said. "It was heartbreaking
to lose the game in the final
minutes. They are a very
good team and we had our
hands full with them, but we
played very well and regard-
less of the outcome, it was a
solid game all around."

Season Over For
QHS' Doug Scott
By SEAN BRENNAN
Quincy's senior guard,
Doug Scott, the city's all-
time basketball scoring re-
cord holder, will not play
anymore games this season
for Quincy High School . His
high school career officially
ended late last week because
of a MIAA eligibility prob-
lem, this according to QHS
head coach David Parry.
"I cannot go into detail
because of student confiden-
tiality agreements, but it was
a MIAA eligibility issue. He
can no longer participate on
the court but he still is very
much a part of this team. He
is, and always will be. part
of the Quincy High School
basketball family.
"Doug has done so much
for this program over the last
few years; helping Quincy
reach the postseason three
straight years and being the
ultimate teammate. We will
do whatever we can to help
him in the future. I will nev-
er abandon Doug or any of
my players."
Scott, who broke the
QHS scoring record on
Jan. 7, shattered the city re-
cord on Jan. 30 in a Patriot
League game against Scitu-
ate HS. He finished his high
school career with 1,555
points.
Quincy, which has
dropped three straight
games, missed Scott's scor-
ing prowess over the week-
end in games versus Silver
Lake and North Quincy, but
the team is moving forward
and looking to end the year
on a positive note.
"The last three years
the team was predicated on
Doug's offensive skills,"
added Parry. "Without him
we will look to add a little
bit more to our offensive
game plan. We are young,
but these last few games
should give us time to get
these players invaluable
playing time."

Feel-Good Foods To Battle The Winter Blues
(ARA) - It's that time of

Demand Respect,
But Not Fear
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have heard a lot about
MRSA. Can you give me
some more information
about it? What can we do
to prevent getting it? I am
a student at San Jacinto
High School in California.
ANSWER: "MRSA" is
short for "methicillin-resis-
tant Staphylococcus
aureus," a common bacteri-
um found all over the place
and a common inhabitant of
the skin. "MRSA" is pro-
nounced "mersa," as though
it were a word.
In the early days of peni-
cillin, it could kill many
germs, including the staph
germ. That germ is a wily
creature. It soon learned
how to dodge the killing
power of penicillin. Clever
scientists came up with a
new model of penicillin
called methicillin. It was
effective against those resis-
tant staph germs. This happy
situation came to an end
when staph learned how to
evade methicillin. These are
the MRSA bacteria.
We do have antibiotics that
can deal with MRSA bacte-
When the sun starts set-
ting earlier, many people
also look forward to enjoy-
ing traditional delicious
winter comfort foods that
evoke warmth and nostal-
gia. Nothing is cozier and
more heart-warming than
ria. However, the lesson is
that antibiotics must be
restricted only to infections
by bacteria that respond to
them. Using antibiotics
indiscriminately paves the
way for the development of
resistance.
MRSA can cause all kinds
of infections, but the most
common are skin and soft-
tissue infections. Soft tis-
sues are the tissues just
below the skin, the subcuta-
neous tissues. Outbreaks of
MRSA infections are com-
mon in high-school football
players and wrestlers
because of the skin-to-skin
contact that occurs in those
sports. Anyone, athlete or
not, can come down with
this infection.
Frequent hand-washing is
the best defense against
MRSA. All skin wounds
should be covered with a
bandage of sterile, dry gauze
and in.specied daily to see if
they are becoming infected.
Athletes should launder
their playing clothes after
each use and should not
store dirty clothes in a lock-
er. They should shower
immediately after a practice.
No one should share towels,
brushes or combs.

TAKING A BETTER IMPRESSION
Some patients fiend the pro- to offer patients a nrxxe conve-
1
cedure of taking a traditional den-
tal impression to be uncomfort-
able. It involves inserting a metal
tray with plastc-like material into
their mouths, which is used to
make a negative impression of
teeth, jaws, and gums. Once the
inrpresskxi hardens, it is filled
with plaster of Paris or artifksal
tone to produce an exact model
of the structures in the patient's
mouth. MofB recently, advanced
technology has provkted a way
I for impfBSSions to be created
quickly and more comfortably. A
chairside oral scanner (COS.)
utilizes a wand that is placed
strategically in the patient's
fTxxjth, where it collects data that
leads to the CTBation of a precise
3-D image, whch is used to
create models for restorations.
The interactive experience
enhances the high-tech image of
the practice and allows dinidans
nient and comfortable procedure
than that of tradrtk)nal impres-
sions. Is It time for a professkxial
dental check-up? We want you
to receive the highest quality of
complete, affordable derrtal care.
Because looking good and feel-
ing good are important to us, it is
wise to maintain a healthy and
attractive smile throughout life.
We're located at 44 Greenleaf

vide individual attention and care

a flavorful meal of chicken
pot pie, a savory casserole,
a steamy stir-fry or a piping
hot bowl of soup to melt a
cold winter day away.
You don't have to lock
yourself away in the kitch-
en all day either to prepare
your family's favorite dish-
es. Look no further than
your own kitchen cupboard
for simple solutions to cre-
ating hearty and economi-
cal meals that will beat the
winter blues. Here are a
few easy tips to warm your
soul and get you through the
chilly season:
Yesterday's Leftovers
Made a Little Richer
Often , you open the fridge
and face a daunting stack of
containers full of leftovers.
But last week's meals can
be perfect for turning into
a simple chicken pot pie, a
hearty stew or a quick cas-
serole. Suddenly, those left-
overs are transformed into
five more appetizing week-
night dinners.
An easy tip for making
leftovers more rich and fla-
vorful when combined in one
dish is to add a ready-made
broth or stock to guarantee
moisture that may have been
lost. For example. College
Inn chicken broth enhances
the flavor of leftover poultry
in recipes. Some great dish-
es include One-Pot Noodles
with Chicken and Broc-
coli, Santa Fe Chipotle Beef
Stew and Tortilla Soup, all
of which can be found at
w WW, col legeinn.com/ev-
erydayexcitement.
Simple Snacks and Mood
Foods
You can also beat the
doldrums with mood-en-
hancing snack choices. Peo-
ple typically reach for a bar
of chocolate or caffeinated
beverage for a quick energy
boost, but both can cause
short-term increases in en-
ergy followed by crashes.
Try to avoid caffeine and al-
cohol in high doses as both
contribute to irritability and
depression.
Instead, try simple mood-
boosting snacks like trail
mix or a fruit cup which are
healthier for you than sugary
snacks and easy to take on-
the-go. If you are absolutely
in need of a chocolate or
sugar fix and don't want to
overindulge, drizzle a small
amount of fat-free chocolate
syrup over a whole wheat
English muffin for a smarter
mid-afternoon snack. Or
pack your favorite instant
hot cocoa packets in your
lunch bag.
Drinks to Warm You on
the Inside
It has been proven that
hot drinks can actually make
you feel less irritable during
the winter season. A recent
study at Yale University
shows that holding a warm
drink 'warms' your person-
ality. A simple solution to re-
duce cold weather irritabil-
ity is to sip hot cocoa, savor
a cup of flavorful broth, or
relish a warm apple cider to
brighten a bad mood. You'll
instantly feel a little better
during a cold hectic day.
Maintaining a warm,
healthy body with the right
foods and beverages will
no doubt help you to keep
a glowing personality this
winter season.

Hot Health Careers in High Demand Now
(ARA) - Medical re-
search, technological ad-
vancements and a popula-
tion that is living longer are
all reasons that the health
care field continues to grow.
Although the industry is
demanding more workers,
there isn't enough space in
training programs to accom-
modate the numbers of stu-
dents who are interested.
Here are some new health
care degrees that are pro-
jected to be in high demand
in 2009 and beyond:
Associate Degree in Ap-
plied Science Electroneu-
rodiagnostic Technology
(ENDT)
There is a high demand
for people who can help
doctors diagnose brain and
nervous system disorders. In
fact, the U.S. Department of
Labor projects a 26 percent
increase in jobs in this field
by 2014. Electroneurodiag-
nostic technology is a good
option for students looking
for a unique and fast-grow-
ing health care segment.
Certificate in Health Ser-
vices Management (HSM)
A health services man-
agement certificate could
help you develop a foun-
dational background in fi-
nance, marketing and health
services that will help move
your career forward in this
growing field. You'll learn a
variety of management skills
that are in high demand in
the health care industry that
will help you stand out from
other candidates for leader-
ship positions.
Associate Degree in
Health Information Tech-
nology rHIT)
An associate degree in
health information technol-
ogy could be your door-
way to a career as a clinical
coder, data analyst, patient
information coordinator or
health record technician.
"The future of health in-
formation holds many op-
portunities," says Dasantila
Sherifi, associate professor
and HIT program chair at
DeVry University - Fort
Washington. "Health infor-
mation technology impacts
every component of the
health care system in the
U.S. HIT graduates give
their contribution in work-
ing with physicians, pa-
tients, payers, government
agencies and other health
care organizations. They fo-
cus on information manage-
ment, privacy and security,
public health education and
research, electronic health
records and more."
Bachelor's Degree in
Biomedical Engineering
Technology (BMET)
Biomedical engineering
is a career field that will in-
crease at about 26 percent
per year through 2012 ac-
cording to the U.S. Depart-
ment of Labor. Biomedi-
cal engineering technology
degree holders work with
physicians, therapists and
other technicians in the de-
sign, construction, imple-
mentation and maintenance
of sophisticated health care
equipment and lifesaving
devices.

Staying Motivated
to Exercise
I've experienced a lapse in
keeping my New Year's res-
olution. I started a walking
program three mornings a
week. I was excited to begin.
It was held in a heated
indoor arena with a fiat
track. Two people from the
Healthy Heart Program
would be there giving advice
and taking blood pressure,
as well as leading the gentle
exercise classes. It seemed
perfect. And the first few
classes were fun. I felt better
after each class, energized
and ready to face the rest of
the day.
Alas, I neglected to consid-
er the human element — me.
It appears that I need more
encouragement than just the
opportunity to put a check
next to my name on the
attendance list for every day
I show up.
Setting goals didn't help.
Promising myself rewards
for attending didn't help
either.
On the Internet I found
companies that will send
telephone reminders, some
of which you can record
yourself. The .services, how-
ever, are expensive.
Then there are computer
software programs that will
pop reminders up on the
monitor.
There's always the alarm
clock, set to go off at the
right time.
In my case, the solution
was a lot easier than signing
up for a call-reminder ser-
vice. Instead, I swapped
phone numbers with one
other person in the class. It
was her idea because she
also found herself lacking
the right motivation to get to
class. On even days of tl^
month, I call her in the
moming to ask if she's going
to class. On odd days she
calls me. Having to answer
to someone else seems to be
working. I've gone to
enough classes in a row now
that I don't tiiink I'll start
skipping them.
It might be low-tech, but
it's working.

Pretzel Sunday Feb. 22 At
United Methodist Church
Sunday, Feb. 22 is the last
Sunday before Lent begins
- and it's also Pretzel Sun-
day at Quincy Community
United Methodist Church,
40BealeSt.,Wollaston.
During the 10:30 a.m.
worship service, Sunday
school students will bring
baskets of pretzels into the
Sanctuary and pass them out
to everyone.
"We celebrated Pretzel
Sunday for the first time
three years ago," said Rev.
Dr. Susan F. Jarek-Glidden,
pastor of Quincy Communi-
ty. "I learned about it when
a parishioner in one of my
former churches found an
article about Pretzel Sunday
in a magazine and showed it
to me.
" I had never heard of
Pretzel Sunday before, but
it sounded like fun. So, that
year the Sunday School stu-
dents passed out pretzels
and everyone enjoyed it -
and I've been doing it ever
since."
Rev. Dr. Jarek-Glidden
said she is unsure of the
origins of the custom, but
guessed it may have its roots
in legend.
"According to folklore, a
German monk invented the
pretzel as a reward for his
students. When they knew
their catechism, he gave
them a pretzel. The shape
is supposed to represent a
person's hands crossed over
her or his chest in prayer.
A pretzel has three holes
and yet it's still one pretzel
- similar to the shamrock's
symbolism of the Trinity.
However, as to how pretzels
became associated with the
last Sunday before Lent, I
have no idea."

Managing Director
Historians rate Abraham Lin-
coln one of the greatest American
^ w»B»r^^^ presidents.
gj^H ^pF' ^^1 Lincoln was not an appeaser
^^H^^_^^| nor one who yielded to the expe-
diency at the hour. He was a man
of strong morals and spiritual
insight ... a man of character and
high principles.
Ironically, Lincoln, who often spoke so eloquently
of peace, was fated to know nothing but war in the
four years and one month of his Presidency. He bore
the griefs of a nation at war on his shoulders. His faith
and courage kept us an undivided nation.
Yes, Lincoln was more than a great American. He
was a great humanitarian. He was a man of great
ability, with immense spiritual insight. He had an
unusual understanding of the dignity of the common
man. . .
We, as a nation, are indeed fortunate to have had
Lincoln as our President during a very difficult time
in our nation's history.

Sa Ionic's
Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Doing something nice
for others is typical of the
generous Arian. But be pre-
pared for some jealous types
who might try to question
one of your more recent acts
of kindness.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You're eager to take on
new responsibilities. But
before you do, you might
want to check out exactly
what would be required of
you so that you don't face
any "surprises" later.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) It might be best to put off
an important decision until a
fluctuating situation
becomes more stable.
Recently received news
could help resolve a long-
standing family matter.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) If you still have a prob-
lem getting that information
gap closed, you might con-
sider asking a higher author-
ity to resolve the matter,
leaving you free to move on
to another project.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) A family matter needs to
be dealt with at the start of
the week. Once it's resolved,
the Big Cat can devote more
attention to that new oppor-
tunity that seems to hold so
much potential.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Pay attention
to those niggling doubts.
They could be warning you
not to make any major deci-
sions until you've checked
them out — es|3ecially
where money matters might
be involved.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A business ven-
ture might need more of your
attention than you are able to
provide. Consider asking a
trusted friend or family
member to help you work
through this time crunch.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) A more posi-
tive aspect helps you get a
clearer focus on how to han-
dle your time so that you can
deal with several responsi-
bilities that are just now
showing up on your sched-
ule.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
very close friend (you know
who that is!) has advice that
could help you work through
a confusing situation. So put
your pride aside and ask for
it. You 'II be glad you did.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A woiic-
place situation could turn a
bit tense. The best way to
handle it is to confront it and
deal with it openly. Doing so
can help reveal the underly-
ing reasons for the problem.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) A col-
league's remarks appear to
be especially cutting. But
don't waste your time or
your energy trying to deal
with the situation. You have
more important things to do.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Support for your
work comes as a surprise
from someone you thought
was critical or, at least, indif-
ferent. Your spouse or part-
ner has big plans for the
weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your spiritual strength often
acts as an inspiration to help
others make decisions about
their lives.

Veterans Services Budget
May Top $1 Million Mark
Veterans' needs and num-
bers are increasing. As a re-
sult, the budget for the city's
Department of Veterans Ser-
vices may top the $ 1 million
mark for fiscal year 2009.
"It's the economy of the
times," said Director Henry
Bradley, noting that jobs are
either not available or lost
by younger veterans who
apply for benefits and high-
er numbers of older veterans
now require medicines and
care.
Bradley and the depart-
ment's Thomas Stansbury
were expected to seek a
budget increase of $ 1 20,000
at the City Council meet-
ing scheduled Tuesday after

deadline.
The 2009 budget al-
location was $931,779. A
$120 ,000 increase will bring
the total to $1,051,779.
Bradley noted that 15% of
his department's budget is
reimbursed by the state.
"Some of them are out
of work," Bradley said of
the younger veterans who
served in Afghanistan and
Iraq. At the same time, the
aging veterans of World War
11, the Korean War and Viet-
nam require added medical
care and assistance, he said.
At this time, the depart-
ment is serving 135 clients.
according to statistics pro-
vided by Stansbury, Graves
Registration officer. Of that
number, 71 are veterans. 37
widows, and there are 18
families with 19 children.
In the past two years, the
department's client list has
increased by roughly 38'7f

ing the Science/Technology/
Engineering/Math wing of
the $ 1 26 million campus.
The ceremony will take
place at 1 p.m. before an au-
dience of invited guests at
an open house.
The next day, Monday,
Feb. 23, the first of the
1,500 plus students will
start classes in the state of
the art building that Prin-
cipal Frank Santoro calls
"the beacon in educational
practices that others will
follow."
A second building, the
Humanity/Arts wing, is ex-
pected to be completed in
time for a September, 2010,
opening and after that the
old Quincy High School
on Coddington Street will
be rehabilitated as Quincy
High West.
The new 128, (MX) square
foot wing features a 150-
seat lecture hall, large
screen projection in each
classroom, a greenhouse,
computerized blackboards,
a new Three Seasons Res-
taurant and multiple com-
puter labs.
It also contains large
instructional spaces for a
culinary arts center, a chem-
istry lab, an auto repair lab.
a plumbing lab and more,
with mathematics class-
rooms across the corridor
to provide interdisciplinary
instruction.
Plans for a new Quinc>
High School have been on
the front burner for a dozen
years, moving from place to
place and from design to de-
sign ever since the need for
one was first noted during
the administration of Mayor
James Sheets.
The plans were final-
ized under Mayor William
Phelan, moved along under
Mayor Thomas Koch and
could be finished in a sec-
ond Koch administration
or the first term of a fourth
mayor.

High School that hosts its ribbon cutting Sundav.

THE HISTORY CHANNE
•On Feb. 19, 1847, the first
rescuers reach surviving
members of" the Donner Par-
ty, a group of California-
bound emigrants .stranded by
snow in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. Three more res-
cue parties arrived to help,
but of the 89 original mem-
bers of the group, only 45
reached California.
• On Feb. 16, 1923, in
Thebes, Egypt, English
archaeologist Howard Carter
enters the sealed burial
chamber of the ancient
Egyptian ruler King
Tutankhamen. King Tut
lived around 1400 B.C. and
died when he was still a
teenager.
• On Feb. 18, 1930, the
planet Pluto is discovered by
the Lowell Observatory in
Flagstaff, Ariz. In August
2006, however, the Interna-
tional Astronomical Union
announced that Pluto would
no longer be considered a
planet as Pluto's oblong
orbit overiaps that of Nep-
tune.
• On Feb. 22, 1942, Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
orders Gen. Douglas
MacArthur out of the Philip-
pines, as the American
defense of the islands col-
lapses. MacArthur at first
balked — he was fully pre-
pared to fight alongside his
men to the death if necessary
— but finally obeyed the
president's order in March.
• On Feb. 21, 1952, Eliza-
beth Taylor. 20, marries
Michael Wilding. It was Tay-
lor's second marriage: At
age 18, she had married
hotelier Nicky Hilton, less
than two weeks before the
debut of her 1950 movie
"Father of the Bride. " She
would be married six more
times, twice to Richard Bur-
ton.
• On Feb. 17, 1979, Garri-
son Keillor's popular radio
variety show "Prairie Home
Companion" is first broad-
cast nationally as part of
National Public Radio's
Folk Festival America. The
show, which had been run-
ning locally on Minnesota
Public Radio since 1974, is
still on the air today.
• On Feb. 20, 1986, France
and Britain announce that a
tunnel under the English
Channel between the two
countries would soon
become a reality. Trains, cars
and buses would be able to
speed through the tunnel in
less than half an hour. Con-
struction began in December
1987, and the "Chunnel"
was finally completed in
1994.

Dear Dad
HENRY
Dear Dad:
This is just a quick note to tell you once again
how really proud we are of you - both your family and
The Quincy Sun staff.
I also want to let you in on a few business-related
things that have been going through my mind since
you suddenly left us that
terrible Saturday. We all
know you are in a much bet-
ter place . . . and that you'll
always be watching over us
from Heaven.
There have been many
signs of your presence al-
ready. Like last Wednesday -
the date of your wake. I was
late coming to work when
I got stuck in a traffic jam.
The car directly in front of me had the license plate
with these three letters: "HWB." And the car was a
pretty shade of blue - Quincy Sun blue - your favorite.
I know it was your way of telling me to "slow down,
don't rush, you'll get there." And you were right like
you always are. I arrived at work in plenty of time to
start a long and tiring day.
Here are few more thoughts that I want to share
with you:
Have you found the perfect martini yet? I'm sure
you've already made friends with someone who makes
them extra dry, straight up on the rocks with an olive,
just the way you like them. I hope you are relaxing
right now with one as you read my letter.
We're glad the weather turned out so nice during
your visiting hours. There were hundreds of people
who wanted to pay their respects at the Sweeney
Brothers Home for Funerals. The line was really long
- down the street a few blocks. I can hear you saying
"that would make a good Page 1 photo."
Given the frigid and snowy winter we've had, I
know you had something to do with the unseasonably
mild weather that day to make all your family, friends,
neighbors, current and former staff, past and present
elected officials, community leaders, business associ-
ates and so many others comfortable waiting outside
the funeral home.
You must be proud of the way The Sun staff came
together and published the paper last week under very
difficult circumstances. I know you thought so highly
of the staff and had commented frequently that we
have such wonderful and dedicated people working at
the paper. I find it a bit ironic that you left us on Feb.
7, 2009 - the 31st anniversary of the Blizzard of '78.
You were so proud of how the paper got out that week
just one day late after more than two feet of snow
brought Quincy to a standstill. Well, although the cir-
cumstances were much different, the effort the staff
extended last week was just as dedicated and inspir-
ing. They found the strength to put out the paper and
spend so much time at your wake, funeral Mass, burial
and reception at your beloved Sons of Italy Hall which
treated the family so kindly, too.
It was also heart-warming to see many former staff
attend your wake and funeral. Some go back to the
Sun's early days. They all had a story to tell and each
one made it a point to say they learned so much from
you. I couldn't agree more.
I hoped you were pleased that the funeral proces-
sion stopped in front of The Quincy Sun office and
City Hall. That was Dick Sweeney's idea. It was so
touching to see the City Hall gang that greeted you ev-
ery Wednesday give a respectful wave from the front
steps. Wednesdays won't be the same for them but I
know they'll cherish your visits forever.
Okay, the next item is one that should be considered
carefully.
We're really not sure what we're going to do with
your office. It's still kind of a mess but recently you
were tidying it up and now my office looks even mess-
ier (how's that for being a chip off the old block??) I
know how you enjoyed telling first-time visitors when
they sat with you in your office how you once lost a
ham sandwich under a stack of papers on your desk.
They all laughed incredulously. But you just smiled
back and insisted it was true.
I have a couple of ideas for your office.
We thought we could seal off the front door with
see-through plastic and convert it into a museum.
Leave it just the way you had it.
Or, we could ask the National Park Service to des-
ignate your office as a national historic site. Perhaps
the tourist trolleys that you enjoyed seeing circling the
square every spring and summer could stop here on
their way to the Adams Birthplaces, Old House and
other local landmarks. Not sure we could charge ad-
mission for people to see where you masterfully edited
copy, wrote Sunbeams and performed so many other
tasks relating to publishing the paper. But maybe we
could get a few bucks to help the bottom line.
Of course this brings to mind your black manual
Royal Typewriter. Whatever we do with the office, it
will remain on your small table next to your desk. And
no one will be allowed to use it. That I promise.
As for your Sunbeams column, I'm going to do my
best to follow in your footsteps and write a column for
Page 4. Out of respect, the Sunbeams title has been
retired. But I think you would like a similar title that
pays homage to your legacy: Son Beams. I think it's
fitting because of how proud I am of you - and I will
always beam with pride when I think of you.
I can't take credit for Son Beams: that idea came
from your daughter-in-law. Amy. She was more like
your fifth daughter. You always told me how lucky I
was to find a "gal" like her. I know that even more
today.
We're also thinking of mnning some of your favor-
ite Sunbeams columns once in a while. A few people
have already mentioned that and I agree it's a terrific
idea. I also want you to know that I have saved the last
column you typed from your typewriter. I'm going to
frame each take and hang them above the typewriter
in your office.
Dad, your presence will always be felt here. You
touched all of us and no one will ever forget you. In
so many ways, we know there's a little bit of Henry in
all of us.
I know I am fortunate to have worked with you
- and learn from you - these nearly 22 years. I can
still remember the first week I started here. It was the
Monday after I graduated from the University of New
Hampshire in May of 1987. I was so excited to join
your staff and do whatever I could for you. I wasn't
happy with my starting pay - but that's another story
for another time.
I also thought I knew everything there is to know
about journalism. Far from it.
You were the best teacher I ever had. But it wasn't
just news writing and editing and publishing that I
learned. You instilled in me what is important in life:
family, community and treating everyone fairly and
with respect.
Well, there's so much more I want to say but you
know how hectic it gets publishing a weekly newspa-
per.
Like you always told your family, don't worry about
me.
I want you to know that together, every one who
loves you will get through this difficult time, move
forward but never forget you.
We'll take it one day at a time, one week at a time.
Dad, you taught us well.
Love,
Your son, Bob

Scenes From Yesterday
MAYFLOWER DINER . ON ROUTE 3. 473 SOUTHERN ARTERY. QUINCY. MASSACHUSETTS
THIS IS a rare 1940's postcard view of the original
Mayflower Diner that was on Southern Artery across
from the Quincy police station. Peter Calimeris, who
owned the diner, published the postcard and had a stack
of them for customers at the checkout counter. This
classic Pullman style diner was painted light pastel blue.
About 1950, Calimeris replaced it with a larger mod-
ern air-conditioned stainless steel diner that for many
years remained a Quincy landmark and meeting place.
Today, this site, sandwiched between a car wash and a
meat market, is home to a McDonald's. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin^ verizon.net.

A 'Thank You' From Quincy Medical Center
Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) is pleased to an-
nounce that the hospital
has received an award of
$2,000,000 from the state's
Essential Community Pro-
vider Trust Fund. This award
demonstrates how important
QMC is to our community
as a provider of the highest
quality, compassionate and
personalized care to all that
come to us, regardless of
their ability to pay, race or
ethnicity.
We are extraordinarily
grateful to State Rep. Ron
Mariano, State Senator Mi-
chael Morrissey and Mayor
Thomas Koch. They, along
with Reps. Stephen Tobin
and Bruce Ayers, and Con-
gressman William Delahunt,
made our case to Gov. Pat-
rick and Secretary of Health
and Human Services, Dr.
Judy Ann Bigby.
This grant provides criti-
cal support for QMC, but by
no means does it solve the
hospital's financial prob-
lems. For the past few years,
the hospital has worked dili-
gently to keep our expenses
down while providing the
best care in the most efficient
manner we can and to grow
our patient volumes. De-
spite this, we still face very
grave financial challenges
and difficult decisions, if
you have followed the news,
you know we are not alone,
hospitals across the state are
feeling the impacts of these
economic times and health-
care as a whole is under tre-
mendous strain.
I've said it be fore-failure
is not an option and we have
a lot of work ahead of us
to achieve financial stabil-
ity and ensure we are here
for our community. 1 firmly
believe if we work together
with our community and
its leaders, we can do that.
QMC is committed to this
community and we appreci-
ate your support.

Boston Jazz Voices To Perforin
At The Crane Library Sunday
The Boston Jazz Voices
will perform a free concert
Sunday, Feb. 22 at 3:30 p.m.
at the Thomas Crane Public
Library, 40 Washington St.,
Quincy.
The group will perform
jazz, swing, and popular
songs, including favorites
like "You Took Advantage
of Me", "There Will Never
Be Another You", "Black-
bird" and "The Water is
Wide."
Boston Jazz Voices is
one of New England's pre-
mier jazz a cappella singing
groups.
Founded almost 20 years
ago as The New England
Close Harmony Ensemble,
Boston Jazz Voices is a
mixed chorus of 18 singers,
each highly experienced and
specialized in close harmo-
ny a cappella jazz singing.
Unlike most a cappella
groups, which are small (4-5
singers), Boston Jazz Voices
uses its 1 8 voices and six- to
eight-part close harmonies
to produce a uniquely beau-
tiful sound.
The Boston Jazz Voices
repertoire includes numbers
from the American Song-
book as well as European,
British and Latin American
composers, in styles ranging
from jazz to ballad, pop and
swing. Boston Jazz Voices
performs in jazz clubs, con-
cert halls and private venues
throughout New England
and took its sound to Paris
in the mid 1990"s.
The ensemble has also
performed live on 88.9
W ERS Boston, a radio sta-
tion well-known for its Sat-
urday a cappella showcase.
The concert is sponsored
by the Friends of the Tho-
mas Crane Public Library.

Demolition Bids Sought For Center Buildings
Com 'd From Page I
tor Dennis Harrington who
outlined the status of the
project, the federal, state
and city sources for fund-
ing, and a timetable of 2010
for completion.
The project is being fi-
nanced through a federal
grant of $6 million, a state
development grant of $5
million, and the city's Dis-
trict Improvement Financ-
ing or DIF funds.
"There'll be no change
to the roadway layout."
Harrington said, noting that
the concourse had won ap-
proval from all the required
agencies, including Massa-
chusetts Historic Commis-
sion.
The council approved
the recommended $98,500
plus ta,\es for the taking of
a 2450-foot strip of land at
150 Parkingway and a tem-
porary easement at the same
location.
The building at the site,
which currently houses a
fitness salon, will not be
affected. The entire 36,392
square foot lot is currently
assessed at $818J>00 and
the building at nearly $2.3
million. The property own-
ers are Parkingway Enter-
prises Ltd. Partnership.
Rob Stevens of the Plan-
ning Dept. said the appraisal
of the property was conduct-
ed by Tyburski Appraisal
Corp. of Quincy.
Relocations
Harrington, also, updated
councillors on the future of
several businesses in build-
ings slated for demolition,
Harrington told council-
lors Feb. 2 that one popular
restaurant at Quincy Fair
Mall. 'Little Q Hotpot may
have to put equipment in
storage" and may not relo-
cate in Quincy.
Another restaurant. The
Taste of Taiwan has not
announced plans as of this
date Both restaurants had
executed 20-year leases with
the Qumcy Fair Mall.
Two other tenants have
leased Quincy properties,
according to Stevens.
The Sushi Time restau-
rant will move to School
Street and the Massachusetts
School of Barbering will
operate from the Landmark
Building. 1543 Hancock St.
Peter W. Sleeper Asso-
ciates of Arlington handled
the relocation of businesses
displaced by the Concourse
takings in the initial phase
and is currently handling
auctions of property in the
Quincy Fair Mall.
One of the major tenants
at the Quincy Fair Mall, the
Registry of Motor Vehicles,
relocated to Braintree in
July.
On Feb. 25, Sleeper
Associates will conduct
an auction of equipment,
such as seating and movie
screens left by the Flagship
Cinemas, early tenants of
the building.
In the past. Sleeper As-
sociates relocated 10 ten-
ants on other properties on
the Concourse route. Seven
relocated within Quincy.
The remaining three either
closed or entered leases in
other areas.
Several businesses and
restaurants, such as Alba's,
and Frantic Framers suc-
cessfully relocated to sites
in Quincy Center.
Final Plans
According to MassHigh-
way plans, the total con-
course project will consist
of a .85 mile of 8/10'sof a
mile four-lane roadway with
median and sidewalks, two
new traffic signals, accom-
modations for bicyclists and
improved street lighting and
landscaping.
Phase 1 of the Con-
course. 850 feet, is already
completed and allows a cut-
through from Granite Street
over the Paul Harold Bridge
to Burgin Parkway.
Phase 2 or the Hancock
Crossing will traverse 2,000
feet from Burgin Parkway
and end at McGrath High-
way. Minor improvements
are planned on Hancock,
Elm and Mechanic Streets
Phase 3 will include
improvements on McGrath
Highway and will be con-
structed at the same time as
Phase 2.
According to official
records, the city has pur-
chased the following prop-
erties: 148 Parkingway at
$650,000; 1586 Hancock
St. at $1,275 million; 1601-
1621 Hancock St. at $2.8
million, a portion of 1570
Hancock St. at $285,000;
1596-1602 Hancock St. at
$850,000; and 14 Revere
Rd. at $650,000.
The city's purchase of 1 1
Revere Rd. at $580,000 has
not been recorded to date. In
addition, the city allocated
$2 million to Messina Prop-
erties for all rights to ten
percent of the land at 1563
to 1597 Hancock St. and
the demolition of the entire
building known as Quincy
Fair Mall.
Former Mayor William
Phelan presided over the
groundbreaking for the con-
course in June, 2007 when
the wrecking ball crushed
the first building which
housed the Tanline company
on Parkingway.
In May of 2008, Mayor
Thomas Koch announced
that he would support the
project without seeking any
changes. Koch had, origi-
nally, hoped to avoid com-
plete demolition of Quincy
Fair Mall.

QCAP Providing Free Tax Preparation
Filing Services For Quincy Taxpayers
Quincy Community Ac-
tion Programs, Inc. (QCAP)
with a grant from the United
Way of Massachusetts Bay
and Merrimack Valley, in
partnership with Wal-Mart
Foundation and One Econo-
my, will bring free tax prep-
aration and e-filing services
to taxpayers in the Quincy-
area in two ways.
First, through QCAP's
own Volunteer Tax Assis-
tance Program (VITA), now
in its fifth year. Secondly, by
hosting the One Economy
Mobile Tax Center in Quin-
cy now through Feb. 21 .
"QCAP is pleased to of-
fer taxpayers these fast, free
and easy ways to file their
income tax returns," said
QCAP Executive Director
Beth Ann Strollo.
"With the Mobile Tax
Sites, QCAP can reach
even more taxpayers across
Quincy and help them get
the refund they earned.
We see this as the perfect
complement to our VITA
program, which has offered
one-on-one tax counseling
to low-income taxpayers
since 2005," Strollo said.
A Wal-Mart Foundation
funded Mobile Tax Cen-
ter van equipped with One
Economy's online tax fil-
ing technology and QCAP's
IRS-certified tax counsel-
ors, will be setting up in
locations around Quincy.
Eligible taxpayers - those
earning less than $56,(KK)
per year - can visit a mobile
site during operating hours
and file their taxes free of
charge .
QCAP is supplying
IRS-certified volunteer tax
counselors to answer tax-
payer questions and help
them claim credits that can
increase their household in-
come.
Nationally, the IRS es-
timates that approximately
20 percent of eligible in-
dividuals and families are
unaware that they qualify
for the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC). a refundable
federal income tax credit for
low to moderate income in-
dividuals and families.
The combined efforts
of QCAP's VITA program,
One Economy's online tools
and the arrival of a Mobile
Tax Center van in Quincy,
will ensure that a greater
number of taxpayers in
Quincy are educated about
the EITC and have access to
free tax filing assistance.

Fire Prevention:
Beware Of Hot Liquids
Here's a subject I know
little about, while after read-
ing a FIREFACTORS flyer
from the State Fire Mar
shal. 1 believe the content
is worth passing along to
you. It has to do with hot
liquids and the potential for
scalding burns to children.
Everything included here is
pretty much taken verbatim
from this flyer.
A wiggling baby can jig-
gle your arm and spill a hot
beverage all over himself.
Put that hot coffee down
when you hold a baby.
Put drinks and soups to-
ward the center of the table
away from curious fingers.
Babies like to grab things.
Consider replacing ta-
blecloths with place mats
to prevent your child from
pulling everything on the
table onto himself.
Hot beverages caused
almost one-quarter of the
burns to children less than
5 years of age. 767f of the
people burned by hot bever-
ages were under 5 years of
age.
It takes only one second
for water at 1 55 degrees F to
cause a third degree burn.
Set your hot water heater
to temperatures of 125 de-
grees or less Massachusetts
law states that the tempera-
ture must be between 110
degrees and l.^t) degrees
Test the bath water be-
fore you put the bab\ in it
Alwavs supervise >oung
children in the bath Babies
and toddlers like playing
with knobs and levers Thev
may turn on the hot water
when \()u turn your back
557f of tap water scald
patients were under 5 >ears
of age
While cooking, turn pot
handles inward Do not let
children play near the stove
or barbecue This protects
children from c(X)king liq-
uids, grease and hot metal
Children under live were
5 ''? times more likeh to be
burned bv cooking activi-
ties
32'/' of all cooking-re-
lated burns were suffered
by children under ^ >ears of
age
I can add. that the surest
way to treat thermal burns
immedialeiv is b\ applying
copious amounts of cold
water directh to the site of
the burn This should coun-
ter an\ further immediate
damage from the effects of
heat However, it is not a
substitute for medical care,
if required Seek medical at-
tention should a severe burn
result from an e.xposure.

Attorney Will Issue Opinion On
Faxon Field Dispute In March
Boston attorney Stephen
Finnegan said Tuesday that
he will review all the issues
in the controversy over the
Faxon Field track project
and submit his opinion to the
School Committee in March.
Finnegan, counsel for the
Massachusetts Association
of School Committees, was
asked to examine the legal
aspects of the track contro-
versy by the School Commit-
tee in mid-January.
School Committee Vice
Chairman David McCarthy
composed the Jan. 26 letter
asking Finnegan to rule on
the three issues described
below:
1 . Does Faxon Field fall
under the jurisdiction of the
Quincy School Committee?
2. Does Mayor Thomas
Koch have the authority to
locate the track on Faxon
field without the approval of
the Quincy School Commit-
tee?
3. Will the track project
violate state wetlands provi-
sions?
Finnegan's opinion will
not be binding on either the
School Committee or the
administration, but a favor-
able opinion will strengthen
the case for opponents of a
Faxon Field track.
McCarthy said the city
deeded Faxon Field to the
school department in 1964
and, therefore, the School
Committee makes the final
decision on its use.
In fact, McCarthy said the
School Committee already
has acted. Members rejected
the Faxon Field site by a
4-2-1 vote last summer.
"The vote's been taken,"
said McCarthy who believes
that Pageant Field is an ideal
site for the new track.
Vice chairman McCarthy
and members Anne Mahon-
ey, Ellen Dwyer and Kevin
Mulvey opposed the Faxon
Field track location while
Koch and member Nick Pu-
leo approved the site and
Joanne Bragg abstained.
Since the vote, Mulvey
has left the School Commit-
tee and his seat filled by Rep.
Ron Mariano.
McCarthy said one of the
four opponents would have
to rescind his or her original
vote and he doesn't see that
happening.
"You could stuff a track
in there," McCarthy said of
the Faxon Field plan pro-
moted by Koch. However, he
warns of flooding, wetlands,
parking issues, and general
chaos.
McCarthy said track meets
would engender the kind of
confusion created each sum-
mer in the area when the car-
nival comes to town.
Opponents of Pageant
Field cite such issues as the
potential loss of century old
trees and two softball fields
as well as infringement on
the picnic area.
In addition, members of
the Adams family do not
want a track at Pageant Field
and that could prove to be a
major obstacle to reconsid-
eraing Pageant Field.

Morrissey Retains Joint
Legislative Chairmanships
Sen. Michael Morrissey
has been reappointed chair-
man of the Legislature's
Joint Committee on
Telecommunications,
Utilities and Energy and
the Joint Committee on
Consumer Protection and
Professional Licensure.
"1 am extremely pleased
to be able to continue my
efforts in the arenas of en-
ergy and telecom, as well
as consumer protection and
licensure for my constitu-
ents and all the people of
the Commonwealth," said
Morrissey.
The Telecommunications
Committee oversees a broad
range ofenergy issues, utility
and communication service
providers. The Consumer
Protection Committee also
regulates boards of registra-
tion for building trades and
professional occupations.
In the last legislative
session, the Consumer
Protection Committee shep-
herded through the passage
of increased consumer pro-
tections of gift certificates
and gift cards as well as
comprehensive identity theft
reform.
"It was crucial to
strengthen and update iden-
tity theft protections in the
Commonwealth in this rap-
idly changing electronic
world," said Morrissey.
The Green Communities
Act. a comprehensive ener-
gy reform package aimed at
spurring development in re-
newable energy and reduc-
ing overall usage, was first
taken up by the Telecom and
Energy Committee.
MICHAEL MORRISSEY
"I am proud of the com-
mittee's work on Green
Communities," said
Morrissey.
"I believe it will go far
towards reducing our over-
all energy usage, aiding res-
idents, businesses and mu-
nicipalities in clean energy
development projects and
moving further towards less
fossil -fuel dependence."
Morrissey also retained
his seat on the prestigious
Senate Ways and Means
Committee.
"I am excited to contin-
ue working constructively
with Chairman (Steven)
Panagiotakos and the other
gifted legislators on Ways
and Means." he said.
"The South Shore has
been well represented on
Ways and Means and 1 am
proud to be given the oppor-
tunity to once again add my
voice to the delegation."
Morrissey also has been
reappointed to the Joint
Committee on Economic
Development and Emerging
Technologies and to the
Senate Committee on Post
Audit and Regulatory
Oversight and the Senate
Committee on Global
Warming.

Quincy Quiz
How well do you know your city?
Do you, as an old timer, know as much as the lady
from Dubuque who saw the John Adams story on HBO
and ventured east to learn more about the city that fasci-
nated her.
Or are you, as a newcomer, so busy settling in that you
haven't had the time to find Wollaston Beach or City Hall
much less the Quincy Yacht Club or the Adams Birth-
places.
Does it embarrass you. as a long time resident, when
a stranger asks you the way to Moswetuset Hummock
and you have to shrug and admit to him, "I'm a stranger
here myself."
In an effort to fill these possible vacuums. The Quincy
Sun this week is restarting its once popular Quincy Quiz
to test your knowledge of the city, its history, geography
and people.
Try it. There are no prizes but it's fun. Maybe you
know the answers already. But. who knows, you may
pick up some little bit of trivia you always wanted to
know but were afraid or too shy to ask.
This week's five questions:
1 . What is the name of the MBTA station in South
Quincy?
2. What is the nickname of the North Quincy High
School athletic teams?
3. What well-known building stands at 8 Adams St.?
4. What do the initials GAR stand for in the Paul Re-
vere GAR Post?
5. Who was Louisa Catherine Adams?
A correct answer to 1 gets you a grammar school di-
ploma, 2 a high school diploma, 3 a college degree. 4 a
masters degree and 5 a Ph.D.

The program originated
as a partnership between

turers like General Motors
and Chrysler/Jeep.
The concept soon grew
into a national program in-
cluding hundreds of credit
unions across the United
States. And. since credit
union members pay an av-

on their interest rate as
compared to other financial
institutions, it was a win-

On Sunday, Feb. 8, 2(X)9. at approximately 9:30 p.m..
Officer Roger White was dispatched to the area of 23 East
Elm Ave. on a report of an assault and battery, "the victim
was jumped."
Upon arrival. Officer White interviewed the victim,
an Eastern Nazarene College student, who stated that he
was on the Wendell Avenue
side of the campus when he
observed three males stand-
ing around. He said that he
didn't think much of it until
he heard footsteps approach-
ing him.
When the victim stopped,
the suspects pushed him
down in the snow bank
and then all of them started
punching him while he was
down on the ground. One of
the suspects then kicked him
numerous times.
The victim began yelling for help in an attempt to get
attention from neighbors or other students. The suspects
then stopped and ran toward their car and drove off down
Wendell Avenue. The victim could not provide the license
plate of the suspect's vehicle, but did provide a color and
make, as well as descriptions of the suspects.
Officer White then searched the general area for the
suspects and approached a vehicle traveling in the oppo-
site direction at the intersection of Elm Avenue and East
Elm Avenue. The vehicle matched the description of the
suspect vehicle and had three occupants in it. The Of-
ficer noted that the three occupants, all males, looked at
him briefly and turned away. The suspect vehicle then
increased its' speed as Officer White turned his cruiser
LT. DAN MINTON
A Job Well Done
around to catch up to the suspects. The officer was able to
catch up to the vehicle and noted that the driver failed to use
his directional on two occasions. The suspects were stopped
in the area of 59 West Elm Avenue. Officer White looked
inside the vehicle and saw that the occupants matched the
description of the suspects provided by the victim.
The victim arrived at the location of the stop and the
three suspects were removed from the vehicle. The victim
first stated that the car was the same one that the suspects
got into and secondly, he identified each one of them as well
as their role in assaulting him.
Officer White was specifically interested in the suspect
who kicked the victim because it is a felony charge, which is
arrestable. Since the assault and battery of punching by the
other two suspects is not arrestable, if not in the presence of
a Police Officer, based on Massachusetts state law. Officer
White obtained their information and will file complaints
against them.
The "kicker", a 19 year-old Quincy resident, was arrest-
ed and charged with "Assault and Battery with a Dangerous
Weapon", to wit a shod foot. The other two suspects, both
18 years old, one from Quincy and the other from Wren-
tham, were allowed to leave but will face charges in Quincy
District Court. The vicUm suffered minor injuries but did
not require medical attention.

The Quincy Sun Staff Remembers Henry W. Bos worth , Jr.
By TOM HENSHAW
Henry Bosworth was a
throwback to the newspa-
permen of old.
Don I call him a jour-
nalist for that implies that
he was writing and editing
from an ivory tower. He
gathered his news from the
folks who called him direct-
ly at the office and those he
met at church or at the cor-
ner store or at city hall and
batted it out on an old Royal
typewriter. He never came
to terms with the computer
age. He was, in a word, an
original.
He was also my friend
for 62 years.
We first met in the news-
room of The Patriot Ledger.
We were both 22 and just
back from working for our
uncle in the Pacific, he with
the destroyer Cogswell in
Tokyo Bay, I with the Third
Marine Air Wing in the Phil-
ippines.
The Ledger of the mid-
20''' century was a far cry
from the Ledger of today.
The newsroom, the sports
department, even the man-
aging editor's office was
crowded into a tiny room
overlooking Temple Street.
One wonders what they did
with the brooms when they
gave us the closet.
Relations among the staff
were close, too. I had a car.
Henry had none. When it
came time for Henry to have
QUINCY SUN Publisher and
Founder Henry W. Bosworth,
Jr., and the tool of his trade
during his distinguished
newspaper career: his Royal
typewriter.
his first child, it was my
vehicle that was chosen to
deliver his wife to the hos-
pital. We were three abreast
crammed in the front seat
of a '38 Plymouth coupe,
Henry concerned with Dot's
comfort, I concerned that
her baby would not be born
in my car, but we made it,
as Gail, now a grandmother
herself, can attest.
The staff of the Ledger,
circa 1946, was so small
that every Tuesday and Fri-
day night our sports editor,
Pres Hobson, would raid the
newsroom for anyone who
knew the difference between
a baseball and a hockey
puck to cover a high school
basketball game with the
admonition: "Don't forget
the junior varsity box score.
They like to see their names
in print, too, you know."
"The JV box score." The
words speak to the very es-
sence of what has come to
be called "community jour-
nalism," the kind that gives
equal coverage to the garden
club and the middle school
honor roll as it does to city
hall and Beacon Hill, the
kind that is practiced by The
Quincy Sun.
Those days at the Ledger
ended when 1 got myself
fired.
The guys in the back
shop, members of the ITU,
went out on strike. Relations
between management and
labor were downright bitter.
Clearly, Prescott Low, the
publisher, was out to break
the union. I used to stop
and chat with the guys on
the picket line when 1 went
to work. 1 was told to cut it
out. I didn't Ergo. 1 was un-
employed.
For a while, in a fit of
pique, with an attitude that
said. "I'll show the (exple-
tives deleted)," 1 considered
joining the Quincy Journal,
the weekly paper founded
by the strikers to harass the
Ledger Henry was one of
those who talked me out of
it. It was good advice.
Eventually, 1 caught on
with the Associated Press
and embarked on a path that
took me from Yellow knife
in the Canadian Arctic to the
back alleys of Piedras Ne-
gras in Mexico to London,
Amsterdam, Copenhagen
and points in between. Hen-
ry remained in Quincy, the
city he loved, and we lost
touch for a bit.
After 15 years, I came
back to Boston with the old
Sundas Herald and found
Henry gainfully employed
as a columnist and a star re-
porter for Its sister publita
tion. the afternoon Tra\eler
Once again we were work
ing under the same root But
not for lon^ He spotted an
opportunity and look it
Over the years, the Led
ger had expanded into a re-
gional paper, covering the
news from Plymouth on the
south to Wellesley on the
north With every step in
the expansion there was less
and less spate for "the JV
box score '"
Henry did what every
newspaperman dreams of
doing but rarely has the
guts to do At an age when
many of us start thinking of
IRAs and retirement, he quit
the Traveler, pooled his re-
sources and started his own
paper, a weekly just around
the corner from a strong,
long established daily
The Quincx Sun was born
in a second floor office over
a camera shop on Foster
Street. There was Henry, a
desk, a typewriter and not
much else Everv now and
then, when 1 could escape
from duty at the Herald.
I'd drop by and do a story
or two. usually an inter
view with Jim Mclntyre. the
mavor.
Then there came a time
when the Herald folded I
helped found a hockey mag-
azine that also folded after
two issues 1 did publicity
for a political candidate, a
Republican, no less, and a
loser 1 sat down to write the
great American novel which
never saw the light of publi
cation Ihen Henry called
We worked together on

On behalf of the City of Quincy, we extend
our deepest sympathies to the Bosworth and

greatly, but his good works,

We are a better City because of him.

"Henry was a legend in
the city of Quincy. He was
part of the life of the city as
a reporter and a publisher
and other non-proht activi-
ties like the muscular dys-
trophy marathon. He was a
hxture in the city. His pass-
ing leaves a hole. Hopefully,
his son will carry on."

Dear Quincy Sun:
Writing to express my
sympathy with the loss of
your publisher. Henry Bos-
worth. When we moved to
Quincy from South Boston
\5 years ago (moving into
our new home) we received
a complimentary copy of
The Sun. We've been sub-
scribing to it since then. It's
a breath of fresh air. Even
the advertising is refreshing
compared to the Boston pa-
pers which can have trashv
ads.
While most newspapers
in Massachusetts tend to a
liberal slant - editorial and
otherwise - I found The Sun
to be a class act with good
common sense (very lack-
ing today). Mr. Bosworth
did an excellent job and his
life experiences certainly
were reflected in the paper.
I hope that The Sun will
"I like to see a man proud of the place
in which he lives. I like to see a man live
so that his place will be proud of him."

Henry Bosworth
Our deepest sympathy and
condolences to Henry's family
and colleagues at The Quincy Sun.

The Quincy Sun Staff Remembers Henry W. Bos worth, Jr.
Cont'd From I'a^e 15
Regrettably, because in
the post -Watergate era of
"gotcha" journahsm, Henry
never descended to it. Nor
did I.
i.ater. when 1 retired
from what had become the
("ommunity Newspaper
Company, Henry came to
my retirement party. During
a quiet moment in the fes-
tivities, he suggested that,
should retirement become
boring, he might have some-
thing for me to do. One day
a week was enough to start,
then two, sometimes three.
For the fourth and final
time we were back working
together under the same roof
once again. Late in the after-
noon, our day's work done,
while we waited for my lim-
ousine, the MBTAs RIDH,
to pick me up. we would
reminisce, two old war-
horses recalling the days of
their youth. At times, I think
Henry kept me around tor
just that purpose.
Henry is gone now. I
have lost a friend. So has
Quincy. But Henry's legacy.
The Quincy Sun. remains,
still the ultimate community
newspaper, still reporting
"the JV box score."

By LAURA GRIFFIN
No one knew Quincy
better than Henry as I found
out early on when 1 started
working for the Sun.
I led my first report on
the high school track proj-
ect, stating the project was
moving along at "marathon
speed." City council had
just fully funded the project
at Pageant Field.
Henry shook his head
and I dropped "marathon
speed." Henry knew better
as he knew so much about
the city and its workings.
He loved its history and its
rugged pt)litics.
Even more, Henry loved
Quincy 's commitment to
all its people through such
groups as Father Bills, the
Salvation Army, the church-
es, synagogues and agen-
cies.
And he wanted to tell the
world about Quincy and its
citizens through his beloved
Quincy Sun.
Henry was a challenge
to the rest of us, visitors and
staff alike. He wasn't inter-
ested in vacations. As far as
1 know, he only took one in
decades.
Five days a week. 52
weeks of the year, Henry
was at his desk.
He greeted one and all
with, "Hey, kid," energizing
us to do more.
We all thought he'd live
forever.
The world got old last
week.

To Henry I was "Marie
From Sunny Italy " as he
would say oftentimes when
he entered the office. Or he
would sing a line from the
song. "Marie the Dawn is
Breaking."
While I was at The Pa
triot Le(li>er. Henry and I
both won the Unity Awards,
and were pictured in the pa-
per. After I left the Ledger,
I would walk the Mall at
the South Shore Pla/a with
friends and I would often
see Henry walking with his
friends.
After a while he asked
me if I would like to come
to work part-time at the Sun.
and cover just one meeting,
the License Board. I hesi-
tated because I had covered
countless meetings while
at the l>edger and 1 wasn't
ready to go that route again.
However, one morning,
he convinced me after tell-
ing me that the meeting was
held in the morning, and dif-
ferent than the long night
meetings 1 had covered in
the past.
Well that was almost 16
years ago and I have never
regretted it for one minute.
Both Henry and his son
Bob and daughters Dolly
and Donna, as well as the
rest of the staff, are a unique
group of the most caring
people and all create a won-
derful environment to be
working with.
Henry was never a de-
manding boss, but one in
which you just wanted to
please by your writing and
performing duties on a
weekly basis.
1 would often v\alk
into his office when he ar-
rived and talk to him about
any interesting news that
might have happened over
the week-end. or about our
swimming pools and the
problems we both were hav-
ing with them.
Last year he decided to
cover his pool and plant
grass. Just last week after
the practically daily snow
storms. I said to him. "Bet
you're glad to got rid of
your pool." He agreed.
Following the recent
deaths of my husband and
grandson, Henry would al-
ways inquire as to how 1
and my family were getting
along. Always so caring.
Henry was very fond of
my brother Pete Ricciuti,
former Public Works Com-
missioner.
Pete passed away 10
years ago, and when 1 re-
turned to work Henry
handed me a check. I looked
at him with a puzzled look.
He looked up and said "You
would have been here." 1
have never forgotten that
kindness.
That's the kind of gentle-
man Henry was. The office
will never be the same with-
out him.

The Quinc\ Sun has been
a big part of my life for
many years, starting in 1977
as a college graduate io()k
ing for a job.
Dad actuall) had gotten
me my first job when I v\as
in high school for Attorne\
Joseph Prone, right down
the hall from him when The
Quincx Sun was located
above Kincaide's Furniture
Store on Hancock Street,
across from Col man's store.
By 1977, the Sun had
moved down Hancock Street
to its present location Dad
asked me if I would like to
work for him. so lor a while
I worked half the da> at the
Sun and the other half for
the attorne). running from
one end of Hancock Street
to the other It didn't take
too long tor me to kno\\ the
newspaper business v\as in
m> blood and that I wanted
to work for Dad full time
Ihe office was biis\ all tlic
lime with people cominy
in to see their friend Henr\.
v\h() must ha\c kiiovvn ev-
eryone in Quincv
Lveryone works hard at
the Sun. tr\ing to get the
paper out every week. Dad
worked the hardest, put-
ting in long days, six da>s
a week, rarely taking a day
off or a vacation. We finally
convinced him a couple of
years ago to close the office
on Saturdays and he really
enjoyed his two da>s off on
the weekends.
Dad was a wonderful
father, always loving and
caring about each o\ his
children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren... He
always worried about me
getting to work if snow was
in the forecast. "Call me in
the morning." he would say.
meaning he would want me
to stay home from work rath-
er than drive from my home
in Pembroke to Quincy in
the snow . How many bosses
are like that'.'
The last months or so. I
offered to pick Dad up in
the morning and drive him
home at night.. He h)ved
listening \o the 4()s radio
station in my car. and we
enjoyed listening to (Jlenn
Miller. Benn> Goodman
and Frank Sinatra 1 am st)
thankful that we had that
extra time together, just the
two of us.
I've always known how
lucky Fve been to work for
Dad. Seeing him five da\s
a week, being a member
of The Quincy Sun family,
proud to say. "Henry's my
Dad." and knowing I've
been so blessed to have him
as my father.
Thank you. Dad
1 love you.
Your daughter. "DJ"

A Time to Plant
It might be hard to believe,
with winter still pounding at
our doors, that it's time to
start preparing the lawn and
garden. But February is an
ideal time to get ready for
the upcoming growing sea-
son.
In some areas, it's not too
early to start seedlings. In
just a few weeks' time they
will be ready for planting,
right about the time that the
soil and weather are both
warm enough to nourish
those plants.
To get ready for spring,
start planning how you'll
begin your seasonal lawn
care regime, pick out new
plants you'll want for your
garden, inventory stored
bulbs and seeds, and prep
the lawn and garden tools.
Lay out all of your hand
tools and check for damage
or rust. Clean off rust with a
little steel wool, and thinly
coat the metal parts with an
all-purpose lubricant like 3-
in-1 oil or WD-40. Wooden
handles should get a fresh,
thin coating of a wood-
friendly treatment like lin-
seed oil or butcher block oil.
Unfold the lawnmowcr
and other gas- or electric-
powered lawn tools and pre-
pare them for use. Make sure
blades and chains are in
place, check to make sure
spark-plug connections are
clean — maybe even give
the starting cord a good tug
(in a well-ventilated area) to
make sure starting is possi-
ble — and electric cords are
not frayed. Don't fill gas-
powered tools with gas just
yet, but do fill a spare gas
can with the correct mixture
and store away from the
house, well away from
flames and in a well-venti-
lated area.
Finally, make sure you
have all the lawn and gaixien
supplies you need to handle
springtime tasks. This
includes fertilizer, extra
grass seed for bare spots,
mulch and any other items
that will make outdoor work
go faster and easier.

Jack Conway & Com-
pany has recognized South
Shore Hospital President
and CEO Richard H. Aubut
as its 20()8 Citizen of the
Year for his dedication to
healthcare on the South
Shore, and his leadership in
the construction of the new
Dana-Farber/Brigham and
Women's Cancer Center
in clinical affiliation with
South Shore Hospital.
Aubut accepted the rec-
ognition at the annual Con-
way Country Convention,
Feb. 13 at the Four Points
Sheraton in Norwood.
Conway has been honor-
ing its Citizen of the Year
since 1988, and it's present-
ed annually to recognize and
honor people in Conway
Country who have stood out
above the crowd.
"I am humbled to re-
ceive the Citizen of the Year
Award," said Aubut. "I ac-
cept it as an honor on behalf
RICHARD H. AUBUT
of my colleagues who serve
the people of our region with
compassion each day."
Aubut oversees a hos-
pital with nearly 3,500 em-
ployees, and more than 800
physicians. In the fall of
2009 the hospital's new can-
cer center is scheduled to
open. The center is a place
to bring all of the hospital's
cancer-related services and
affiliates under one roof, to
be able to provide service to
patients so they won't be on
the road from doctor's office
to doctor's office.
"This cancer center is
so vitally important to the
area," said company Chair-
man Jack Conway. "And
Richard Aubut is at the
helm, guiding the project to
its completion."
The new $95 million
medical complex will be run
by South Shore Hospital as
a joint venture with Boston
hospitals Dana-Farber and

Reap the Rewards Of A Vegetable Garden
(ARA) - During World
War II, Americans were
encouraged to convert their
backyards into Victory Gar-
dens to contribute to the war
effort.
The gardens also saved
families money, something
that was not abundant to
most at the time. With the
current economic downturn
affecting many families'
budgets and in light of pro-
duce scares in 2008, starting
a backyard vegetable garden
is a great way to help reduce
grocery bills during the sum-
mer months while keeping
your family supplied with
healthy foods.
Even if you don't have a
lot of space - maybe only a
balcony — you can still pro-
duce plump red tomatoes,
fresh lettuce, spicy peppers
and more before the end
of summer. Here are some
simple tips for gardening in
small spaces for big results:
Mix Vegetables
With Your Flowers
If you already have an
established flower bed, but
no more land available for
a vegetable patch, work
some of your vegetables in
between perennials. Carrots
and onions don't need a lot
of root space, and their foli-
age above ground can bring
variety to the overall look of
your landscape. Just make
sure your vegetables will
have plenty of sunshine and
are protected from hungry
wildlife.
Start a Container Garden
Balconies and porches
are perfect locations for
container gardens. Start
easy with lettuce seeds, or
onions set in a deep window
box. Or use a larger pot for
peppers or tomatoes.
To kick off the growing
season for your tomatoes
and peppers, use a Season
Starter from Dalen Prod-
ucts, Inc. in your container.
This innovative insulating
system helps protect seed-
lings from frost conditions

and extends the growing
season.
Once established, grow-
ing plants can benefit from
other Dalen products that
help contribute to larg-
er yields and vegetation
protection. For instance,
Dalen 's patented Tomato
Tray is designed to channel
water directly to a vining
plant's root system - critical
for establishing healthy to-
mato plants in the early sea-
son. Also, items like Better
Reds Mulch Film and Har-
vest Guard work to ensure
that throughout the growing
and harvesting season your
plants are protected from
weeds, drought conditions
and early frosts.
Some helpful tips for
container gardening are:
* Find containers that are
large enough for the fully-
grown plant to prevent root
binding.
* Make sure contain-
ers have adequate drainage
holes and are not plugged
with soil or rocks.
* Avoid container mate-
rials that contain products
toxic or harmful to plants.
* Don't use regular gar-
den soil. Instead, use potting
soil or a mix of garden soil
with compost or periite for
enhanced drainage.
* Water plants frequently
as plants in containers are
more likely to dry out due to
sun and wind exposure.
Grow Tall Gardens
Cucumbers, squash and
melon plants take up plen-
ty of space when they're
sprawling across your
ground. But getting them
off the ground is an ideal
solution for maximizing
your harvest in a minimum
amount of area. Installing a
trellis next to plants allows
you to direct vine plants'
growth upward, while pro-
tecting fruit and vegetables
from ground rot and pests.
Using nylon netting, like
Trellis Netting from Dalen
Products, around your con-
tainer pots, a porch railing
or your garden beds is a
great and durable way to en-
courage climbing vines.
With good management,
you will have beautiful
fruits and vegetables avail-
able this summer for cook-
ing, canning and snacking
- saving you money at the
grocery store and giving
your family safe and healthy
food options. Visit www.
dalenproducts.com to find
more products perfect for
growing your favorite veg-
etables or fruits in any size
garden.

Expert Advice On Energy Saving Tips For The Home
(ARA) - What if you
could easily save money and
help the environment at the
same time? You can. All it
takes is a little expert advice
on how to make your home
more energy efficient.
According to the U.S.
Department of Energy,
the average family spends
$1,900 a year on utility bills.
Unfortunately, much of that
money is being wasted on
inefficient heating and cool-
ing systems, or excess use
of appliances, according to
Greg Schuman, electrician
program chair at Everest
Institute in San Bernardino,
Calif.
Schuman advises you to
break your house down into
different systems of energy
usage, including heating,
cooling , water heating , Ii ght-
ing, computers and electron-
ics, appliances and refriger-
ation. Once you break down
your energy spending into
different components, you
can look for ways to maxi-
mize your energy consump-
tion in each area.
Start with heating and
cooling. According to the
U.S. Department of Ener-
gy, the costs of heating and
cooling make up 46 percent
of a family's monthly utility
bill. Schuman suggests you
be conscious of the tem-
perature at which you set
your thermostat. Try to set
your thermostat as high as is
comfortable in summer and
as low as is comfortable in
winter. Schuman also rec-
ommends you buy timed
thermostats that can be pro-
grammed to use less energy
when you are at work during
the day and asleep at night.
Second, Schuman says
homeowners should take
advantage of the sun's natu-
ral heating system. "In win-
ter months, you want to take
advantage of the sun's heat.
Open your southern and
western facing windows to
let as much light in as pos-
sible and make sure to keep
your windows as clean as
possible. Depending on the
size of your windows, the
sun can really help heat up
a room." But in summer,
Schuman advises keeping
shades down and draperies
closed to prevent the sun
from entering.
Lighting is another rela-
tively easy way to save
energy. '"Look into getting
fluorescent light bulbs. Each
light bulb can save you ap-
proximately $30 in electric-
ity costs over its lifetime,"
Schuman says. On average,
fluorescent bulbs use 75
percent less energy, produce
75 percent less heat and can
last up to 10 times as long as
regular light bulbs, so they
more than make up for the
initial expense.
When shopping for new
appliances, Thad Becker,
electncian program instruc-
tor at Everest Institute in
San Bernardino, Calif., says
to always think of both the
immediate price tag and the
long-term operating cost.
"Sometimes it is worth it to
pay more in the short run for
a more energy-efficient ap-
pliance." Becker says. With
refrigerators, top freezers
are more efficient than side-
by-side units. You also want
to look for a fridge with au-
tomatic moisture conlrol.
Even if you aren't in the
market for a new refrigera-
tor anytime soon. Becker
says to make sure to cover
liquids and food items to
prevent moisture from ac-
cumulating in the fridge,
which makes the fridge
work harder.
The stovetop and oven
are more expensive to use
than a microwave or toaster
oven. "Toaster ovens actu-
ally use one-third to half as
much energy as a full-sized
oven, so use your toaster
oven when possible." Beck-
er says.
Laundering clothes dif-
ferently also saves money.
More than 90 percent of the
cost of doing laundry comes
from heating the water, so
Becker suggests washing
clothes in cold water when-
ever possible and making
sure to fill loads completely
before running them. He
also advises not to over-dry
clothes and. when possible,
to air-dr> your clothes. "Air
drying is a great way to save
energy, and it also iias the
added benefit of helping ex-
tend the life of your cloth-
ing," says Becker.
If you are willing to
spend a little money, check
your insulation. Adding in-
sulation to your attic floor,
basement or crawl spaces is
relatively easy and can pre-
vent major heat loss in the
winter. "If you are uncom-
fortably cold in the winter
Seeding Secrets For A Sensational Lawn
(ARA) - Watering, fer-
tilizing and proper mowing
are all important aspects of
lawn care. But to maintain
that healthy, lush lawn you
also need to be smart about
seeding.
Fixing some bare spots
on the lawn or filling out
thinning grass requires the
right type of seed, a little
know-how and the patience
to, literally, watch grass
grow.
Paying attention to four
factors when seeding can
help turn your lawn from
flop to fabulous:
Timing is Everything
Many people wait until
warm weather to turn a criti-
cal eye on their lawn, even
though the very best time to
seed is in the fall. But seed-
ing can successfully spruce
up your spring lawn - if you
start early enough.
Even if you suspect your
region may experience one
or two more frosts before
spring, go ahead and seed.
"Cold will not hurt grass
seed." Marshall says. "Bet-
ter to seed too early than too
late."
If you're unsure of proper
timing for your area, check
with a local lawn expert or
university extension pro-
gram for advice.
Prepare the Ground
Failing to prepare the
ground to receive seed is
one of the top mistakes ho-
meowners make, Marshall
says. If you are seeding bare
spots or dead areas, take
a rake and scratch the spot
until you see more dirt than
dead grass. In order to take
root, grass seeds must be in
direct contact with soil.
To overseed an entire
thin lawn, rent a core aerator
or slit seeder and go over the
lawn first in order to achieve
the best possible seed/soil
contact.
Choosing the Right Seed
Watering deeply and
infrequently is the usual
recommendation for an es-
tablished lawn, but a newly
seeded lawn requires more
watenng than usual because
grass seed dies when it dries
out.
To get the most out of
your grass seed, opt for a
seed, such as Scotts Turf
Builder Grass Seed with Wa-
ter Smart, that helps create a
good looking lawn with less
water. The seed is wrapped
in a super absorbent coating
that actually holds water to
keep the seed moist even if
a day of watering is missed.
The coated seed will require
water once a day and pos-
sibly even every other day
depending on the climate
where you live. Hotter re-
gions may need more fre-
quent watering.
Non-coated seed, by con-
trast, requires watering mul-
tiple times each day in order
to keep the seed wet. "When
grass seed dries, it dies,"
Marshall says.
Caring for
Grass Seedlings
Once your grass seed-
lings appear, some simple
steps can help you care for
your growing lawn, includ-
ing:
• Fertilize the lawn - Re-
member to fertilize the same
day you seed. After that,
for most areas of the coun-
try, it's OK to fertilize >our
lawn every two months dur-
ing warm vNcather.
• Keeping off the grass-
Contrary to popular belief,
simply walking on grass
seedlings isn't likely to do
much harm, but it's a good
idea to avoid walking on
them if possible. If you've
seeded in a high-traffic area
it's a good idea to rope off
the spot until the seed is
well established - usuallv
after the first mowing.
• Mowing is good for
your grass seedlings - Once
grass seedlings reach 2 to 3
inches in height, it's time to
mow them. Marshall recom-
mends setting your mower
on one of the two highest
settings. Trimming the top
off new grass actually en-
courages it to grou laterall),
spreading out to fill thin ar-
eas.

Smarter Snack Ideas
When The Munchies Strike
(ARA) - When the
munchies hit at 3 p.m. what
do you do? Do you leave
your desk and head to the
vending machine? Does the
thought of the approaching
swimsuit season leave you
caught between hunger and
dread?
At some point during the
day - and often, multiple
points -- most people crave
a snack. It's easy to grab a
snack that's gratifying but
high in fat, calories, choles-
terol or sodium — and low
on nutritional value.
The desire for healthy
snacks (or at least less un-
healthy snacks) is not a new
one. What is new, however,
is the emerging mindset that
packing more for the punch,
or doing more with less, can
allow people to have their
snacks and eat them, too.
With a few lifestyle adjust-
ments, the 3 p.m. snack —
or the mid-morning or late
night snack, for that matter
~ can continue.
Get Dense
To gain more from your
snacking experience, go for
nutrient-dense snacks that
are enhanced with a greater
amount of better-for-you
ingredients. If you have an
extra apple or some celery
stalks on hand, take advan-
tage of built-in nutrients and
pull them out of the refrig-
erator.
If you are in the mood
for a bag of munchies to
satisfy your cravings, re-
member that today's bagged
snacks come in a wide range
of better-for-you varieties.
Snyder's of Hanover, for in-
stance, offers products like
multigrain pretzels, chips,
and puffs, and recently de-
veloped a dedicated EatS-
mart line of better-for-you
snacks that fall into the nu-
trient-dense category.
Indeed, beyond tradition-
al salty snacks made with
whole grains, many bagged
snacks today are made with
non-traditional snack food
ingredients. You can actu-
ally increase your intake of
vegetables with products
like vegetable-based crisps.
EatSmart Veggie Crisps and
Soy Crisps, for example, are
made from real potatoes, to-
matoes, spinach and soy.
Make Bold Choices
Nutritionists and foodies
alike can attest to the fact
that eating more flavorful
food lends a certain satis-
faction to the eating experi-
ence. Those who eat boldly
flavored snacks may be less
likely to over-consume and
can take their time to enjoy
how the food tastes.
Recognizing that bold
flavors enhance the eating
experience, manufacturers
are responding with more
intense and gourmet flavor
profiles for snacks, such as
pesto, parmesan, chipotle
peppers and fire-roasted to-
matoes, among many oth-
ers.
A quick glance at a su-
permarket shelf in the
snacking section supports
the notion that consumers
are seeking more unique
flavors for snacks. Even the
most popular chips come in
a broader range of flavors
beyond traditional cheese,

Go Natural
For those looking to
maximize their snacking ex-
perience, all-natural snacks
offer an added benefit of
"clean" labels, namely, with
fewer preservatives and arti-
ficial ingredients. Again, su-
permarkets and restaurants
are offering more natural
and organic products, in re-
sponse to growing customer
demand.
Looking for "all natural"
or "organic" wording on
packaged snacks and taking
a few seconds to read the la-
bel is an assurance that what
goes into snacks doesn't
have to be unpronounce-
able.
Realize That Size Matters
Mindless eating, par-
ticularly snacking with little
thought of , controlling in-
take, is where a lot of people
get into trouble. It may not
seem like it when we're eat-
ing while working, texting
or watching TV, but it's very
quick and easy to overdo it.
To make it easier on con-
sumers, snack food provid-
ers continue to introduce
portion-controlled packag-
ing, through 100-calorie
packs and snack size prod-
ucts. Those items, ranging
from chips to pretzels to
snack cakes, are specifical-
ly designed to help people
keep track of their snacking
and stick to a pre-planned
intake.
Pretty soon there won't
be an excuse not to snack,
given all of the available op-
tions. Better-for-you snack-
ing fits into just about any
lifestyle - and, in turn, can
help ensure a better fit into
that swimsuit.

Simple Ways Seniors Can
Stay Active and Healthy
(ARA) - You've worked
hard your entire life to earn
your retirement, and now
you should enjoy it. But you
won't be able to actively so-
cialize with friends, family
and neighbors, enjoy spend-
ing time on your hobbies or
taking trips to see the grand-
children if you don't main-
tain good health and a good
quality of life.
The average life ex-
pectancy is now 78 years,
plenty of time to enjoy your
golden years. You don't
need to see a doctor every
day to stay healthy; with the
guidance of your physician,
there are many ways you
can take care of yourself at
home. Here are a few ideas
you can try yourself:
* Monitor the information
your doctor wants to know.
For example, an estimated
one-half of senior citizens
suffer from hypertension.
The Lumiscope Blood Pres-
sure Arm Monitor found at
Montgomery Ward (www.
Wards.com) allows you to
track your blood pressure at
home. Daily monitoring can
help you and your doctor
bring your blood pressure
levels down to 120 or lower,
which is recommended to
avoid risks of stroke or heart
attacks.
* Involve your friends,
family and neighbors in a
weekly yard game of bocce
ball, croquet, horseshoes or
badminton, to name a few.
Not only are yard games
good physical exercise, but
the competition keeps your
mind sharp and social inter-
action balances out a well-
rounded lifestyle.
* Get your hands dirty
and plant a garden. Wheth-
er you fill indoor pots with
beautiful , leafy house plants
or plant your entire outdoor
landscape in a field of col-
orful blooms, working with
plants is fun and contributes
to a sense of well-being.
Plus, the planting process
involves a little muscle,
helping you to keep your
body in good condition.
* Relive some of your
childhood fun. Try a daily
workout with the Cory
Everson Trampoline (www.
Wards.com). The trampo-
line provides a good cardio
and muscular workout com-
plete with a stability bar to
assist your balance. And you
can exercise at your level,
without overexerting your
muscles. Combine your
workout with your favor-
ite tunes and revert to your
bouncy youth.
* Join a book club and
invite the members to your
house. Whether you're into
mysteries, historical fiction,
biographies or romance
novels, stretch your imagi-
nation, share your thoughts
and engage your fellow
book lovers in a good dis-
cussion.

QHS Wrestling Finishes
Up Successful Season
(/<>X'<Xa^XKXaXXXX/'X/<X'C^XKXKXXXAX/<>X^<X/<^^
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy High School
boys wresthng team fin-
ished the Patriot League
regular season as champions
ot the league's Keenan Divi-
sion. The Presidents accom-
plished the feat in dramatic
fashion against Scituate
High School.
Senior Liam Keogh, a
215-pound heavyweight,
pinned his opponent in the
meet's final match to secure
a win and the league title.
The match victory cumulat-
ed a regular season that saw
Quincy take key wins over
Duxbury HS (37-36) and
North Quincy HS (41-31).
"Hard work pays off,"
said QHS head coach Patrick
Lane. "It has really shown
this year in the improvement
and the hard work these kids
have put in from day one."
Quincy, which has 12
seniors, five juniors, four
sophomores and four fresh-
men on the varsity roster,
used this grizzled e.xperi-
ence and new blood, along
with hard work and dedica-
tion to a grueling sport, to
come out on top in a new
league and against unfamil-
WRESTLING
iar opponents.
"Kids like Josh Gerry,
Paul Reggiannini and Dan
Quinn, especially, were
working out religiously at
the Dungeon (Quincy 's new
non-profit wrestling facility
located on Broad St.), and at
other camps and off-season
tournaments," added Lane.
"But not just those three.
Other kids were dedicated
to the weight room, adding
strength to their repertoire,
working out at the Dun-
geon .
"The work is paying off
for these kids individually
and hopefully it will con-
tinue to pay off for us as a
team. Obviously 1 am go-
mg to miss these seniors
who have put in four years
of hard work, but just the
same, hopefully we can
garner some recruits and re-
load instead of rebuild each
year."
According to Lane, there
was a feeling before the
season started back in the
early winter that this could
be a team that had the talent
and ability to compete for a
league title.
" Fhis is our big year w ith
all this talent in the senior
and junior classes. I knew
that this was a year were we
could push for a league title
and we won our division title
which was great. The Patriot
League crowns two division
champions but in my opin-
ion would be great to have
one league champion.
"But we are still top in
our division."
Six seniors and a junior
accomplished the bulk of
the work done durmg this
successful season. Seniors
Paul Reggiannini (140 lbs.

Quincy Babe Ruth League
Awarded 'Official' City Charter
Babe Ruth Baseball, Inc,
headquartered in Trenton,
New Jersey, is pleased to an-
nounce that it has designated
Quincy Babe Ruth League,
Dick Lombardi, President,
as the "official" designated
charter for the 2009 season
forages 13-15.
Quincy Youth Baseball,
Inc, previously a Babe Ruth
13-15 charter, was also vy-
ing for charter status as
well.
"The decision to grant
charter status to either or-
ganization was not an easy
one," said Robert Faherty,
Babe Ruth League National
Commander, "but we had to
make a decision and move
forward. Both organizations
have done a truly outstand-
ing job providing the resi-
dents of Quincy with excel-
lent opportunities to play
baseball at every level of
play. And will be expected
to continue to do so.
"Quincy Babe Ruth
baseball is one of the most
successful programs in the
United States," Faherty add-
ed, "having hosted three 14-
year old World Series in the
past six years, and has dem-
onstrated an incredible level
of community support and
cooperation that has become
the model for other Babe
Ruth programs throughout
Massachusetts."

Up Successful Season

Lowell) were all instrumen-
tal in their team's success.
"The season was a little
rough because we had many
missing weight classes and
we had to battle back from
deficits against some really
gcx)d teams." said Reggianni-
ni of his team which finished
the regular season at 4-0-1.
"But we made up for missing
some lighter weight classes
with the solid wrestlers that
we had. All the seniors from
this class wrestled a decent
amount freshmen year and we
had a lot of mad experience.
We all matured very quickly
that year and it showed in our
season as seniors."
Reggiannini's junior
teammate Josh Gerry shared
similar sentiments about the
season.
"We have a lot of seniors
and kids who worked real
hard all season and off-sea-
son," Gerry said. "Our team
dynamic was great. Every-
body pulled out the big wins
when we needed them, es-
pecially Liam Keogh. who
won us meets with pins."
Senior Dan Qumn add-
ed:
"It was up to the kids who
wrestled to pin and that is
what we did all season long.
1 am proud of these guys
because the whole team has
come a long way since we
were all freshmen. We had a
tough league schedule and it
helped to keep us on edge.
"Wrestling in Quincy
used to be a force and I think

Finnegan shake hands after Reggiannini won his match in the
145-pound class.
we have gotten it back on
that track this season."
Quincy also received
contributions from seniors
Salma Goummih (103 lbs),
Steve Kamb (189 lbs) and
Taylor Radcliffe (285 lbs),
junior Mike Kneeland (189
lbs), sophomore Mike Meng
( 145 lbs) and freshmen Greg
Lowe ( 1 45 lbs) and Tony Ja-
neiro (125 lbs). The rest of
the varsity roster included
seniors Scott Griffin, James
Wilbur. Steve Shattuck and
Mike Brown, juniors Joe
Spargo. Sang Do and Lance
Peterson, sophomores Ja-
cob Hynes, Michael Mang,
Thotsawat Sangsit and Ryan
Boyle and freshmen CJ
Brooks and Jaleek Leary.
"It has been a very good
season for the team and
hopefully as we get to the
post-season we can continue
to make noise," added Lane.
Notes: The Presidents
wrestled at Natick High
School last weekend in the
Division II Metro Section-
als. The top-four finishers
in each weight class earn
an automatic bid in the state
tournament. The results of
this weekend, which the
Quincy Sun did not have as
of press fime, will be high-
lighted in next week's issue.

The Raiders, at 16-5
overall, is all but guaran-
teed a first-round home
game when the seeds are
announced on Friday and
home court advantage is
something that Jorgenson is
looking forward to.
"There are some really
good teams at the top of the
seeds and having the possi-
bility to host a home game
in the first round is an edge,"
Jorgenson said. "But we
will need to play our game
to advance no matter where
the game is being held.
"1 think we can be a
matchup problem for a lot
of teams. We have good
post play with O'Connell
and Kristina Anderson and
Montana McBimey. And
with Camell and Kathleen
Lynch playing so well right
now and with the team all
playing together as a unit,
we should be very good and
should have a chance to do
some damage."
NQ's Siobhan Carnell
Reaches 1000th Point Plateau
By SEAN BRENNAN
It is time to edit the North
Quincy High School girls'
basketball record books.
Last Thursday, NQHS
senior guard Siobhan Car-
nell passed the 1 ,000"' career
point plateau and in the pro-
cess broke the girls' basket-
ball single-season scoring
record of 464 points, previ-
ously held by Sarah Stanton.
Carnell, who is averag-
ing 21 points per game and
is one of the Patriot League's
leading scorers, scored 27
points against Middleboro
High School, helping her
Red Raiders finish the year
in a tie with Hanover High
School for a share of the
league's Fisher Division
championship.
"It is a great honor for
her and for her team," said
NQ head coach Michael Jor-
genson. "Somefimes when
a player scores 1 ,000 points
or reaches some other indi-
vidual goal, it doesn't reflect
team success. Sometimes in-
dividual achievement is just
that, but not with Siobhan.
"The whole team can
share in her achievement.
These girls play well together
and all of them wanted her to
get her 1,000"' point. Maybe
more than she wanted to get
it."

star as a goalie), but it is her

Salome's'
Slars ■
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Some unsettling facts
about a past situation could
come to light. And while
you'd love to deal with it
immediately, it's best to get
more information to support
your case.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A straightforward
approach to a baffling situa-
tion is best. Don't allow
yourself to be drawn into an
already messy mass of tan-
gles and lies. Deal with it and
move on.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Don't be discouraged or
deterred by a colleague's
negative opinion about your
ideas. It could actually prove
to be helpful when you final-
ly get around to fmalizing
your plan.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Ignore that sudden attack
of "modesty," and step up to
claim the credit you've so
rightly earned. Remember:
A lot of people are proud of
you and want to share in
your achievement.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) A fmancial "deal" that
seems to be just right for you
Leos and Leonas could be
grounded more in gossamer
than substance. Get an
expert's advice to help you
check it out.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Don't ignore
that suddenly cool or even
rude attitude from someone
clo.se to you. Asking for an
explanation could reveal a
misunderstanding you were
completely unaware of.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Unless you have
sound knowledge, and not
just an opinion, it's best not
to step into a family dispute
involving a legal matter,
regardless of whom you sup-
port. Leave that to the
lawyers.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) An awkward
situation presents the usually
socially savvy Scorpian with
a problem. But a courteous
and considerate approach
soon helps clear the air and
ease communication.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
calmer, less-tense atmos-
phere prevails through much
of the week, allowing you to
restore your energy levels
before tackling a new chal-
lenge coming up by week's
end.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Your
approach to helping with a
friend or family member's
problem could boomerang
unless you take time to
explain your method and
how and why it (usually!)
works.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Someone
who gave you a lot of grief
might ask for a chance for
the two of you to make a
fresh start. You need to
weigh the sincerity of the
request carefully before giv-
ing your answer.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Too much fanta-
sizing about an upcoming
decision could affect your
judgment. Better to make
your choices based on what
you know now rather than on
what you might learn later.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of seeing the best
in people and helping them
live up to their potential.

'Chowder And Stations' Nights
Begin Feb. 27 At Sacred Heart
New Testament Lent Topic At
First Baptist Church Of Wollaston
Pretzel Sunday Feb. 22 At
United Methodist Church
Sunday, Feb. 22 is the last
Sunday before Lent begins
- and it's also Pretzel Sun-
day at Quincy Community
United Methodist Church.
4()Beale St.. Wollaston.
During the 10:30 a.m.
worship service, Sunday
school students will bring
baskets of pretzels into the
Sanctuary and pass them out
to everyone.
Rev. Dr. Susan F. Jarek-
Gliddcn, pastor of Quincy
Community United Meth-
odist, said she is unsure of
the origins of the custom,
but guessed it may have its
roots in legend.
"According to folklore, a
(jerman monk invented the
pretzel as a reward for his
students. When they knev\
their catechism, he gave
them a pretzel. The shape
is supposed to represent a
person's hands crossed over
her or his chest in prayer.
A pretzel has three holes
and yet it's still one pretzel
- similar to the shamrock's
symbolism of the frinit).
However, as to how pretzels
became associated with the
last Sunday before Lent, I
have no idea."

Old virtues such as duty, patriotisin
and service to one'scountry sometimes
today meet with a certain amount of
criticism. So it's good to remember
the birthday of George Washington
. . . ''First in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen." . . . For fifteen years,
seven in war and eight as President, Washington founded
and guided a new nation to manhood and, as the father of
our country, bequeathed a unique and precious heritage to
all Americans.
Washington can be remembered for setting an example
in manners, bearing character and simple honesty. His name
was never associated with scandal or greed. H(Hior, duty and
country were tohimthedearest words in the English language.
He was truly national, not r^^nal, in outlook.
It would be hard to find a better example to hold up to
our youngsters of our nation today ....

Classes Begin In New Science/Math/Technology Academy
'We've Changed Education
At Ouincy High School'
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
The official ribbon cutting cer-
emony for the first phase of the
new Quincy High School was held
Sunday, and on Monday an excited
student body and staff began their
classes at the new Science/Math/
Technology Academy.
School Supt. Dr. Richard De-
Cristofaro, Quincy High Principal
Frank Santoro. and School Com-
mittee member Elaine Dwyer
were bursting with pride as they
welcomed the crowd of educators,
administrators, city and state of-
ficials, former mayors, architects
and media representatives.
After the welcoming reception
and opening remarks, they each
conducted tours through the state-
of-the-art facility, a four-story
structure located behind the old
Quincy High School.
When the next phase of the
school is completed, on the site
of the former Center for Technical
Education, entrance hallways from
this wing will be cut out to connect
to that much larger section of the
school, yet to be constructed.
Santoro said, "We've changed
education at QHS. . . because things
that used to be separate are now in-
ter-locked, just like the real world,
and this building serves that pur-
pose."
The design of the new building
literally connects various fields
of science, math and technology.
such as nursing classes with biol-
ogy and engineering with math.
which Santoro referred to as mter-
disciplines.
Dr. DeCristofaro. spoke of the
professional devek)pment of the
QHS teaching staff and its in-

City's Firefighters First Koch's Probe Of Honeywell
To Accept Wage Freeze
Prompts State Inquiry
City firefighters have
voted overwhelmingly to
accept a wage freeze re-
quested by Mayor Thomas
Koch, as part of the city's
plan to confront the most
serious fiscal crisis in a gen-
eration.
"I am truly grateful to
our firefighters for leading
the way and understanding
the gravity of the situation,"
Koch said. 'This is a great
symbol of what we can do
when we work together in
the best interest of the city,
and I am hopeful our other
unions will follow suit."

of the 2()0-member Quincy
Firefighters Local 792. did
not divulge the exact vote
tally for privacy reasons,
but said the margin was
"overwhelming" in support
of the one-year wage freeze.
City officials expect the de-
cision will save more than
$500,000.
"Quincy firefighters
know we are all in this to-
gether-from the city to fire-
fighters to residents," Ari-
enti said. "We wanted to do
something positive to help
with the budget cuts and the
cuts to services. Hopefully,
things will get better for all
of us in the next year and
the economy will rebound."
Koch has asked all 2,400
city employees to accept a
one-year wage freeze to help
soften looming cuts in the
budget year that begins in
July. If every union accepts,
the city will save roughly $5
million, Koch said.
Koch has met with the
members of several city
unions, and talks are ongo-
ing, which require unions to
voluntarily reopen, negoti-
ated contracts.
The city faces a total of
$6.8 million in cuts to state
aid. Coupled with declining
revenue and other challeng-
es, the Koch administration
is crafting a budget that will
include substantial spend-
ing cuts.
The wage freeze does
not guarantee there will be
no layoffs, but it "without
a doubt will save jobs and
protect services," Koch
added.
"This is a major help, but
it is not a silver bullet that
solves all of our problems,"
said Koch. "We are working
hard, looking at every pen-
ny the city spends, and we
know we will have to make
difficult choices."
This is the second major
cost-saving initiafive negofi-
ated between Koch and city
employees in the last six
months. In the fall, unions
voted to give up negoUafing
rights over health care cov-
erage to join the state health
insurance program, called
Group Insurance Commis-
sion.
Quincy is the largest city
in the state to voluntarily en-
roll in the program and the
move is expected to save $4
million in health care costs
in just the first year.

Mayor Thomas Koch an-
nounced Tuesday that an ex-
haustive review of the $32.8
million Honeywell energy
management program has
prompted the state Inspec-
tor General to invesfigate a
project that was supposed
to save both energy and tax-
payer money.
The administration re-
view, which began shortly
after Koch took office , found
that infrastructure overhaul
in 40 city buildings was be-
set by inflated costs, faulty
work and a contract ripe for
abuse. After meeting Koch,
Inspector General Gregory
Sullivan launched the inves-
tigation of the Honeywell
contract, which began in
2007.
"This was a boondoggle,
plain and simple, and we
will not let the taxpayers
take the beafing on this,"
said Koch. "We identified
these problems and we are
going to do everything in
our power to ensure our city
is protected."
The city review found
several glaring examples of
Honeywell charging the city
exponenfially more for re-
pairs than industry standards
or contractor estimates, in-
cluding billing $224,000 for
a roof project at the WoUas-
ton branch of the Thomas
Crane Public Library after
a contractor esfimated the
project would cost $50,000.
"This is a lot like those
old stories about the Pen-
tagon spending $500 for
a hammer," Koch added.
"Beyond the cost, we have
serious quesUons about the
THOMAS KOCH
work. For example, they in-
stalled weather-stripping on
the Park Department stor-
age building, which doesn't
even use heat."
Other issues found by the
city's investigafion include:
• $185,000: Fire Depart-
ment Headquarters roof
repair. (Four fimes the con-
tractor's estimate on the
building permit.)
• $77,000: Installation of
doors at Police Headquar-
ters.
• $200,000: Windows
at the North Quincy Fire
House. ($70,000 more than
the contractor's estimate on
the building permit.)
Two recent roof proj-
ects conducted by the city
following standard public
bidding rules cost between
$1,110 and $1,800 per
square foot of construction.
The roof repairs completed
by Honeywell cost up to
$7,(X)0 per square foot of
construction.
The review also found
shoddy work that led to
burst pipes in some loca-
tions, including one in the
Broad Meadow Middle
School that destroyed a
computer lab.
Quincy entered into the
contract with Honeywell
in 2007, when much of the
work was also completed.
The agreement, allowed by
recent state legislation, was
based on a "energy perfor-
mance contract," meaning
that Honeywell charged the
city upfront for repairs, but
the cost was supposed to be
paid back by energy savings
accumulated over 20 years.
The legislation and contract
allowed Honeywell to hire
subcontractors without us-
ing the public bid process.
Koch sharply ques-
tioned whether those sav-
ings would ever be realized,
pointing to a contract that
is "ridden with loopholes."
Specifically, he noted that
the contract calls for energy
savings to be determined by
Honeywell, not an outside
authority. Koch also called
into question the $700,000
annual payment that the
city is expected to pay Hon-
eywell to maintain all the
boilers, lights and windows
it replaced throughout the
city.
Koch said his admin-
istration is responding to
multiple requests from the
Inspector General's Office
for information and will also
consider taking court action
against Honeywell.
"This is exactly the kind
of action that needs to take
place when an issue this se-
rious is uncovered," Koch
said. "We have an obliga-
fion to fight on behalf of our
residents."

'Crime Does Occur But We 're A Very Safe City, ' Police Chief Says
Keenan Realigns Patrols To Cool High Crime Spots
By LAURA GRIFTIN
Quincy's a big city and
major cnme incidents are
inevitable, but there's no
crime wave spreading in
Ward 2 or anywhere in the
city, according to Police
Chief Paul Keenan who said
police patrols are realigned
regularly as needed and po-
lice saturate areas with high
crime reports.
"it's a big city," said
Keenan, adding, "Crime
does occur but we're a very,
very safe city."
Keenan responded last
week to fears arising from
arrest reports in January
in which drugs, automatic
weapons and ski masks were
confiscated in separate inci-
dents on neighboring streets
in Quincy Point.
In another incident last
week, a vandal or vandals
smashed the windshields
and broke the mirrors on
six cars parked on Crescent
Street in West Quincy.
Keenan said officers are
alerted to problem areas
daily during roll call, "They
would saturate the area. We
do increase patrols.
"Every area in the city
is covered 24-hours a day,"
said Keenan, describing the
10 to 15 patrol cars avail-
able for assignment.
Keenan said the city is
divided into zones and when
increased criminal activity
is reported in one area, that
zone will have added cover-
age.
"We realign (patrols) to
equalize the workload, "said
Keenan, noting that inci-
dence reports are reviewed
regularly and patrols are as-
signed as needed.
Under the plan, police
officers covering low crime
zones are assigned a larger
patrol area while officers
covering high crime zones
cover smaller areas.
In addition, Keenan said
areas such as Quincy Point
and West Quincy have
plain-clothes officers and
unmarked cars patrolling the
district when reports suggest
higher criminal activity.
Keenan discussed the is-
sues at the Feb. 2 and Feb.
17 council meetings and af-
ter the meetings.
Councillors began the
discussion after Ward 6
Councillor Brian McNamee
questioned crime reports in
Quincy Point.
McNamee described citi-
zens' fears after he read a
letter from Robert Smith of
Granite Street who asked
if a crime wave was erupt-
ing and the city, particularly
Quincy Point, is becoming a
safe haven for criminals.
McNamee asked Keenan
if there were "some under-
lying reason these elements
(are) comfortable in Quincy
Point?"
"It doesn't appear that

stating that robberies and
drug arrest reports were
scattered and not concen-
trated in one particular area.
'Times are changing,"

South Shore Buick: End Of An Era
I
FITZGERALD
It's certainly a sign of the turbulent economic times and
victim of the recession but for me, the closing of South
Shore Buick is akin to losing a good friend.
Or, a close buddy who you could count on when
you needed something. I've had three
Buicks and always found the sales and
service departments top notch.
And apparently there are many oth-
ers who feel the same way.
"It's been like a wake," says auto
dealer Bob FitzGerald, who began
working at the landmark dealership
during the Blizzard of 1978.
"I don't know many other businesses
that when they close they've received prayer cards and
we have. It's sad but it's also uplifting to know people
have appreciated you and think that much of you. It's
been quite touching. There's been a lot of hugs, a few
tears but I'm a firm believer that when one door closes,
another door will open.
"You just have to have faith."
The dealership, which first opened its doors in 1923,
will shut down for good by the end of March. The main
culprits: decreased market share, spiraling health care
costs and property taxes and the worst recession in de-
cades.
"The reasons we have to close is because of decrease
market share and there are too many brands and too many
dealers," says FitzGerald, who holds a degree in finance
from Providence College. "1 believe that GM will eventu-
ally have just General Motors under one roof and not the
various and sundry brands that we've been accustomed
to over the years. They predict that 2,000 dealers will
close their doors within the coming year."
Over the last decade or so, GM's market share has
slipped an astounding 6 percent - from 17c to less than
1% - primarily due to foreign competition. That drop,
plus the consolidation within GM, left South Shore Buick
"quite vulnerable," FitzGerald says.
The final nail was the recession. "The economic tsu-
nami that came rolling through was the coup de grace."
But the beginning of the end can be traced directly
to market share which started declining about 10 years
ago.
"When I initially bought the Buick franchise, Buick
was covering between 5 and 7% market share," FitzGer-
ald noted. "When I finally kicked the franchise back to
GM just recently, we were well under 1% market share.
When you lose that kind of market share over time and
you try to adjust your overhead, the elasticity of your
overhead is not in keeping with the market share loss, it
was becoming more and more difficult (to do business).
And the consolidation which is frankly necessary left a
guy like me with just a single point franchise. I was on
the outside looking in."
Reacting the dwindling market share, FitzGerald said
GM tried to promote single platforms (designs) as sev-
eral different models. In effect: competing against itself.
"GM thought they were saving money and offering
more choices, but all they really did was cut the pie into
more and smaller slices in the face of increased competi-
tion. As far as Buick in particular is concerned, GM let
the product line get old, then discontinued models instead
of updating them."
It wasn't too long ago that Buick was a "cash cow" for
GM, FitzGerald said.
"LeSabre and Century sales represented 50 percent of
GM's gross profits in North America at one point. The
costs had been amortized, but GM did not reinvest in
Buick.
"In the short term, GM is consolidating Buick-Ponti-
ac-GMC as a single entity, but I think they will do much
more before they have a structure that works. They will
eventually figure it out, and begin a comeback. Unfortu-
nately," he adds, "there will be a lot of pain between now
and then."
FitzGerald, who in 2000 expanded into Watertown in
an effort to stay competitive, insists closing the dealer-
ship was not a "knee-jerk reaction."
"We have been under some degree of distress for nine
years. We were doing what we could and we had some
success primarily because we are that little neighborhood
SOUTH SHORE BUICK, which has been selling automobiles
for some 86 years, will close its doors next month. The familiar
brick building at 50 Adams St. opened in 1941.
dealership that people felt comfortable visiting and had a
sense of trust which gave us great loyalty. When you're
doing a service for a friend, which a great deal of custom-
ers ended up being, there's a two-way relationship there
and there's a level of trust. That's how we were able to
survive as long as we did."
Losing a business like South Shore Buick is not just a
hit for its employees - which had numbered as many as
50 several years ago but dropped to about 15 at the begin-
ning of this year - but also for the community. There are
few, if any, small dealerships left in the city.
"The fabric of a community is really made up of all its
little bits and pieces and the local car dealership was one
of the little bits and pieces," FitzGerald says. "The small
business person in this country is just having a harder and
harder time . They tend to have all the same cost structures
like the bigger operation but they don't have the same
economies on the other end. It's just becoming more and
more difficult between taxes and health insurance . . . it's
like pushing a snowball uphill."
Until the business is closed. South Shore Buick is still
selling pre-owned cars, servicing autos and inspecting
vehicles. "We have more limited capability but we don't
want to leave customers or employees in the lurch. Cer-
tainly we are winding down," says FitzGerald, who has
been busy trying to help his employees find other work.
"We're trying to close down gradually and gently with
some grace and dignity. So far many of my folks have
had success in locating other positions. We're fortunate
that South Shore Buick enjoys a good reputation, not
only amongst our customers but with our peers."
Over the next several weeks. South Shore Buick will
have more and more limited capacity and "at some point,
we'll turn the key and put out the light and that will be
that," FitzGerald says.
As for his own future, FitzGerald says "I want to make
sure make sure that I've done whatever I could do for my
employees so that I know that when I leave it will be a
clear conscience. Then I can start focusing on my next
move."
It may be time, although, to shift gears.
"The industry is going to go through a great deal of
turbulence in the next couple of years. I don't want to
limit myself at this point. I've enjoyed the auto industry.
I've made a lot of good friends, made a decent living.
We'll have to see."
He is confident his brother Richard FitzGerald, the
dealership's longtime general service manager, will land
on his feet.
"Part of the reason South Shore Buick has been suc-
cessful is because we're had such a solid service depart-
ment and the number one guy there is Richard. He's been
great with the employees, been fabulous with the cus-
tomers. From a service standpoint there's no one better
than Rich."
The future of the 2-acre site at 50 Adams Street is also
uncertain at this point. "We all love the old building. It
has character you just don't find anymore. We'll keep an
open mind," FitzGerald says.
As South Shore Buick 's final days count down,
FitzGerald knows the end of era is nearing, both profes-
sionally and personally.
"I've been spoiled. I've been able to work in a situ-
ation where your customers end up being real friends.
That's not just hyperbole, that's the real deal. I don't
know if that's going to exist in another situation or an-
other job. I suspect that it might not so that aspect of it I
will miss the most."
Quincy 's gonna miss South Shore Buick, too.

Scenes From Yesterday
SQUANTUM HEAD, SC^UANTUM, MASS
THIS IS A 1913 picturesque postcard view of Squaw
Rock in Squantum Park. The wooden structure on top of
the rock served as an observation deck from which you
could see the expanse of Boston Harbor while enjoying
the fresh ocean breezes. A ramp ran dow n the other side
to the water where floats were kept by local residents
for their boats. Nearby was the Old Squantum House,
a resort hotel complete with its own pier for regular
steamboat service from Boston. The park could also
be reached by electric trolley from the Atlantic rail-
road depot. Very popular in the middle and late in the
19th century, this spot lost its appeal as the newly built
nearby Moon Island sewer vats became increasingly
obnoxious. To contact Tom Cialvin, e-mail tmgalvin(a

City Councillors will honor
the memory of Quincy Sun
founder Henr) W. Bos-
worth. Jr. by raising a spe-
cial plaque in his honor in
old City Hall, also known
as The James R. Mclntyre
Government Center.
The plaque will honor
"the life, accomplishments,
service and humanitarianism
of Henry W. Bosworth, Jr.,

ing to Ward 2 City Council-
lor Daniel Raymondi.

residents and staff, 1
knew 1 would love

credits her daughter

and personality, wanting to make
life easier, and finding her a per-

looked at," she says. "1

personal possessions that she
holds dear. "All of my furniture fit
right in," says Webber, .Vnd my
family is close by so I see them all
the time. Ihey especially like to
come to the special events here.
At the Christmas party, they saw
me sitting on Santa's lap."
Prior to her move to -\llerton
House, Webber lived alone With
her children nearby, she could
always count (Mi them for help, but
at age 82, she continued to carrv
out the day-to-day tasks that home
ownership entails. She says, "1
don't have to do armhing ncnv -
no cooking, no cleaning, no

those things are done for me, and

Eggplant Pulpets 'Extraordinaire'
I don't know how long this recipe has been
around, but I just found it recently and it's
made w ith eggplant mixed almost exactly as
you would make a meatball. My daughter
Ann Marie called me up one day very excited
about it and how great it tasted.
So I was invited to dinner at my daughter
Nancy's home and she was just beginning to
prepare it. Both of us made it and it turned
out unbelievable. With this recipe you can
also make a veggie burger by flattening the
ingredients instead of making them into a
ball.
Eggplant Pulpets
1 large eggplant (skin and slice about a
quarter of an inch)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (if you
prefer plain bread crumbs, then season
with favorite herbs.
legg
1 small onion and a clove of garlic
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice and eggplant and place it on a slightly
greased cookie sheet (We used parchment
paper with a little olive oil)
Bake until almost done, soft enough to
put m a food processor or blender.
In the food processor, put the eggplant,
onion, garlic and mushrooms until they are
well blended.
In a large bowl, add the eggplant, and
the other ingredients that were blended, the
ncotta , parmesan cheese , egg . bread crumbs ,
salt and pepper. Now they are ready to roll
as you would a meatball. It will be about the
same consistency as a meat mixture.
Roll into balls, and then place on a slightly
greased cookie sheet (we used olive oil on
parchment paper) and bake in a 350 degree
oven until done (about 25 minutes) Keep
checking until the top forms a slight crust.
We had it with bow tie pasta, and spnnkled
a little tomato sauce, but eating them just
plain were delicious.
P.S. This is how we made this, hut other
ingredients certainly can be used with the
same result.

have learned early in life the
skill of giving back. With
persistent parental and com-

should continue to use this
skill their entire lifetime,"
she added.

Flu Death Raises No
Concerns In Quincy
The death from the flu of
an unvaccmated 12-year-old
Jamaica Plain boy may have
caused a rush on vaccine

visor in the Health Depart-
ment "This IS the peak flu
season and it takes about
two weeks for the vaccine to
take hold."

little uptick in flu cases but
nothing sigmlicantiv higher.
But if you're still nervous
about It. the Health Depart-
ment at 15X.S Hanc(»ck St ,

ADDRESSING BUNIONS
For those suffering with bun-
ions, some form of surgery may
be necessary to relieve the pain
and correct any resulting defor-
mity that impedes the individual
from performing normal activi-
ties. When a bunion exists, the
bone that joins the big toe be-
comes prominent. The resulting
bump is composed of bone and
soft tissue. Some sufferers may
find it difficult or even impossible
to walk any significant distance,
even in athletic shoes, without
experiencing extreme pain.
The big toe may be chronically
inflamed and non-responsive
to anti-inflammatory medica-
tions or rest. The toe may "drift"
toward the small toes and ap-
pear deformed. When all other
treatments fail to make a sub-
stantial improvement, a recom-
mended surgical procedure
may provide the desired relief.
Are you plagued by bunions
or another foot condition that
makes every step a painful
one? One of the best things
you can do to take good care
of your feet is to treat them to
regular professional pediatric
care. With all they do for you,
your feet deserve it. We'll do
all we can to teach you how
you can achieve and maintain
optimal foot health. State-of-
the-art facilities to treat all foot
concerns, chronic conditions,
injuries and hereditary prob-
lems are available to you at
QUINCY MEDICAL CENTER.
Call 781-986-3668. Office
hours are also available at 999
North Main St., in the Randolph
Medical Building, and Milton
Medical Building in Suite 221. I
am affiliated with the Brockton
and Good Samaritan Hospitals.
P.S. Bunions can also occur
on the joint of the little one (bun-
ionette).

Councillors Clash On Sex Offender Ban
Com 'd From Puf^e I
In one example, a Level
3 sex offender banned from
Weymouth announced that
he planned to move to Quin-
cy.
Proponents believe that
residency restrictions will
discourage sex offenders
banished from other com-
munities from moving to
Quincy.
False Security
Councillor Joseph Finn
cited the "dark secret" sta-
tistics indicating that family,
friends and acquaintances
commit 93 '^ of sex offenses
against children.
Finn, along with other
skeptics, contended the resi-
dency ordinance will drive
convicted sex offenders
underground, promote 'sex
offender ghettos,' generate
a false sense of security and
create "unsafe zones" in un-
protected wards.
"This is not a benign
ordinance." warned Finn,
predicting that sex offend-
ers will stop registering and
disappear. "If it's adopted,
it tanks your (sex offender)
registry system "
Finn said he has reported
suspicious activity and. as
the father of seven. "1 ap-
preciate the concern that ac-
companies the management
of sexual offenders in our
community."
"I support lifetime com-
mitment for true sexual
predators" and more strin-
gent sentencing for those
who have a history of recidi-
vism, said Finn.
As for residency restric-
tions, Finn cited statistics
showing sex offenders dis-
appear from law enforce-
.lOSEPH FINN
ment radar after residency
restrictions are enacted.
Finn, also, stated that
many prosecutors, across
the country, oppose such
legislation.
'Unsafely' Zones
A map provided by
Coughlin. co-sponsor of the
ordinance, indicated that the
forbidden areas or "safety
zones" would encompass
almost the entire city with
only a few pockets such
as Ward 4. the Marina Bay
area, several dozen streets in
Squantum and Wollaston.
"It creates unsafety zones
in areas of our city." said
Finn who cited several un-
protected areas as did Ward
6 Councillor Brian Mc-
Namee. Ward 4 Councillor
Jay Davis, and Councillor
John Keenan.
McNamee read off the
names of nearly two doz-
en streets in his ward that
would be unprotected by the
ordinance.
"My concern is that there
are neighborhoods left un-
covered," said Keenan. "As
long as there are areas in the
city that are uncovered. I
will not support it. It's just
not fair."
Supporters
Parents, police and
school officials testified in
favor of the ordinance, some
describing local incidents
where known sex offenders
loitered on streets and near
students while police had no
legal remedy.
Police Detective Lt Pat-
rick Glynn told the commit-
tee that Chief Paul Keenan
considered the proposal "a
clear, concise and enforce-
able ordinance "
Glynn provided the fol-
lowing statistics on Quincy
residents:
17 Level 3 sex offenders,
22 Level 2 sex offenders
30 Level I sex offenders
Kendall Whittington,
vice president at Lastern
Nazarene College, called
the proposal." a wise
move." and advocated for
the loitering provisions. He
outlined the need to protect
the 97 children in daycare
programs on the HNC cam-
pus, as well as the college's
students
"We completel) sup-
port the proposed law." said
Whittington who then de-
scribed an incident in which
a Level 3 offender was on
campus three times.
"The offender could not
provide a viable reason (for
his presence)." according to
Whittington who said police
could not arrest him.
Glynn later told council-
lors that the proposal out-
lined a 'ticket' system for
loitering offenses which he
acknowledged might offer
little deterrent value.
Parents of local school
children, afso, favored the
ordinance.
"It's pretty much a no-
brainer," said Tracy Costello
of Vassar St.. describing the
l(),(KK)childrenintheOuin
cy school system and the
additional thousands in day-
care and parochial school
throughout the city.
Costello asked council
lors to "pass this in a ver\
quick manner."
"I urge quick passage of
it." said Scott Smith of An-
drews Road, president of
the Parent Teachers Organi-
zation at Beechwood Knoll
School.
"Everywhere you look,
there are kids," said Cos-
tello, adding that shed re-
ceived a notice from her
child's middle school warn-
ing of two incidents in which
cars followed middle school
children.
Resident Mark Stokes
described a Level 3 sex of-
fender "living within I5(K)
feet of a school. We couldn't
do anything about it
"That person was walking
around our neighborhood at
3 a.m. in the morning. " said
Stokes, recalling the night
one neighbor found him in
her driveway
One speaker said the dif-
ference between Level 2
and Level 3 sex offenders
is a plea bargain, but Davis
said that Level 2 offenders
are considered less likely
to reoffend and have, often.
been convicted of statutory
rape sometimes involving
two teenagers.
Coughlin and Gutro said
they would consider the tes-
timony presented Mondav
and reschedule a discussion
of the proposed ordinance
Ihey will, also, review
suggestions offered at the
committee meeting.
Ihese included banning
all levels of sex offenders
from the citv, a blanket resi
dency ban covering the en
tire city, and stronger loiter-
ing provisions
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Ravmondi suggested an
ordinance banning convict-
ed drug dealers and other
major criminals from livng
in the city

volvement, right from the
beginning, in the planning
of the new high school, in-
cluding sharing the needs of
the students and staff with
the architects.
"As a city we should
be very proud of so many
people that made this hap-
pen because we continue to
keep our focus on all of our
young adults and children of
this city.
"We started talking about
this during Mayor Sheets'
administration, then Mayor
Phelan and Mayor Koch
have all been involved in
this, and every one of them
tremendously supportive of
this project."
There was an emphasis
on integrating the needs of
the students and the com-
munity in general in this
new facility.
Dr. DeCristofaro: "We
wanted to make sure that the
community has great use of
this building, and that is built
into everything that we do
and all the philosophy that
we have for this building in-
cludes our community."
Mayor Tom Koch
thanked everybody for com-
ing together and making the
project happen, including
past mayors and past school
committee members and
council members. He said,
"There is so much pride in
this room-in these difficult
times we've come together
for such a positive day."
The mayor quoted from
an article written by JFK
regarding the importance of
making a student's educa-
tion relevant to life. Koch
said, "When you go through
this facility, it's hard not to
see the relevance— this mag-
nificent facility will put our
kids in great shape as they
move on."
Former Mayors James
Sheets, Joseph LaRaia and
William Phelan attended
the ceremony. Phelan said,
"1 really believe this new
school will impact kids'
1 i ves . . . what better thi ng
can you do than that - the
state-of-the-art facilities for
today's learning is so impor-
tant.
"And there are so many
people that worked very
hard on this entire project
and it couldn't have been
accomplished without a lot
of good people coming to-
gether."
The architects, SMMA,
received input not just from
the QHS teaching staff, but
from its custodial staff, re-
garding the design of the
building.
School committeeman
and State Rep. Ron Maria-
no, one of the original plan-
ners of the project said, "It's
been a long time getting to
this point, and I think this
is a tremendous opportunity
for the kids in the city to
come in and have a first-rate
facility, with state-of-the-art
technology, state-of-the-art
equipment. This is a great
day for the city, and I'm ex-
cited and really pleased with
the way this has come out."
Future plumbers, elec-
tricians, auto mechanics,
certified nursing assistants,
cooks, mathematicians, en-
gineers, biologists will all
be studying in a modem,
sunny, technically-advanced
environment now.
There is no such thing as
a blackboard anymore. It's
called an interactive white
board, and it can display
computer images, inter-
net sites, teachers' writings
and even students' answers
through the use of a wireless
clicking device.
The old Center for Tech-
nical Education has been
emptied and is scheduled
for complete demolition by
April school vacation.
On its site, and scheduled
for a September 2010 open-
ing, will be built the Fine
Arts Academy, including
a 750-seat auditorium, the
Humanities Academy, in-
cluding a library and media
center, a gymnasium which
will include a walking track,
and a cafeteria, with seating
for 500.
By KELLIE NEWMAN
QHS Sophomore
Quincy High School has
officially begun a new era,
after nearly a decade of plan-
ning the new high school .
With the opening of the
new Science/Math/Technol-
ogy Academy Monday, lo-
cated right behind the main
building of the high school,
life at Quincy High has got-
ten a lot easier; at least with
getting from one part of the
school to the other.
With the Center for Tech-
nical Education, students
had to endure the bridge, the
only connection to get from
the main building to there,
which with over a 100 stu-
dents trying to get through
at the same time in oppo-
site directions, made it next
to impossible to make it to
class on time.
"The way the new build-
ing is connected, it makes it
easier to go from one build-
ing to the other. No more
traffic jams on the bridge,
which is nice," sophomore
Lisa Lam says of the new
layout of the school, add-
ing that in addition to more
ways to pass between the
Academy and the main
building, the design itself is
much improved.
Each floor of the Acad-
emy connects right to the
main building, where the
elevators used to be lo-
cated. Students just go up a
short flight of stairs and find
themselves in spacious hall-
ways, lined with brand new
lockers.
"It's really big and really
nice compared to the old
Votech; it's a better learn-
ing environment. 1 actually
wanted to come to school , I
was all pumped. I couldn't
go to sleep," Lisa added with
a big smile on her face.
Conor Curran-Cross, a
fellow sophomore, shared
Lisa's enthusiasm about the
new school.
"We actually have win-
dows we can look out of."
To which Lisa added, "Fi-
nally."
Now that the Academy
is complete, students now
look to the future, to when
the final building is due to
be complete in fall of 2010.
For now though, everyone is
adjusting to the change, and
most are glad that they even
get to see one building of the
new Quincy High School.
The Next Phase Of The Project
The Academy offers in-
ter-disciplinary instructional
staff work-stations, a large
group instruction area with
150 seats and a full -service
restaurant.
The state-of-the-art facil-
ity will enable students to
earn technical certifications
and college/institute articu-
lations in the disciplines of
Culinary, Automotive, Met-
als, Information Technol-
ogy, Electrical, Computer-
Aided Architectural Design
(CAD), Engineering, as well
as Rehabilitation Medical
Assistant, Pafient Care, and
Early Childhood Education.
The next phase of the
high school project begins
with demolifion of the Cen-
ter for Technical Education
building and the bridge that
connects the two original
high school buildings. Fol-
lowing demolition, the con-
struction of the new 224
square-foot wing will begin,
with complefion anticipated
in September 2010. This
wing will showcase three
additional academies: Hu-
manities, Visual and Per-
forming Arts, and the Fresh-
man Academy.
The next phase will also
house a three-station gym-
nasium with a walking track
and multi-purpose and fit-
ness rooms, along with a
750-seat auditorium, a 500-
seat cafeteria opening to a
courtyard, and a media cen-
ter library.
The Quincy High School
project team includes Tish-
man Construction as the
Project Manager, Symmes
Maini &. McKee Associates
as the Architect, and Gilbane
Building Company as the
Construction Manager. In
collaboration with the Mas-
sachusetts School Building
Authority (MSBA), this
project has targeted the Mas-
sachusetts Collaborative for
High Performance Schools
(MA-CHPS) certification
program for sustainable/
green design and construc-
tion.

Window Shopping Made Easy
(ARA) - This year, as
people are staying closer to
home, why not try a home
improvement project that
involves little effort, makes
your house more beautiful
and efficient and can provide
benefits for years to come --
replacing your windows.
Beauty, comfort and en-
ergy efficiency are excellent
reasons to replace your old
windows. Not to mention,
when windows are old,
leaky and don't work prop-
erly, they can also be frus-
trating to operate.
If you've determined it's
time to seriously consider a
window replacement proj-
ect, Paul Delahunt, presi-
dent of Renewal by Ander-
sen, says replacing your old
windows is easier than you
think, and offers the follow-
ing considerations to help
make your project as easy as
opening a new window.
Choose windows that are
energy efficient.
Traditionally, poor per-
forming windows and doors
have been the weak energy
link in homes, often ac-
counting for up to 40 per-
cent of a home's heat loss
during the winter. Make
sure you choose windows
with energy-saving benefits.
Two simple ways to check a
window's energy efficiency
and performance are to look
for an ENERGY STAR la-
bel and a label from the Na-
tional Fenestration Rating
Council (NFRC).
Choosing ENERGY
STAR qualified windows
can help reduce your energy
bills by up to 15 percent, ac-
cording to ENERGY STAR.
Plus, homeowners who pur-
chase and install qualifying
ENERGY STAR windows
and doors in 2009 may be
eligible to receive a one-
time credit of up to $500 on
their 2009 federal income
tax.
The NFRC label shows
a window's U-Factor,
which tells you how well
the window keeps in heat.
U-Factors generally fall in
the range from .20 (most en-
ergy efficient) to 1 .20 (least
energy efficient). The lower
the number, the better the
window is at keeping heat
in. In colder climates, a U-
Factor of .30 or lower is rec-
ommended to get the most

energy efficiency from your

Choose windows that of-
fer low-maintenance.
Today, homeowners can
choose from several fram-
ing material options in-
cluding wood, vinyl and
composite frames. Because
ongoing maintenance can be
daunting, many of today's
homeowners are looking for
windows that require little
or no maintenance.
Windows made from
composite materials can be
a good option for homeown-
ers who like the look and
strength of wood windows
but also want the low-main-
tenance features of vinyl.
Because of the unique blend
of materials, composite win-
dows do not need ongoing
staining or painting to main-
tain their natural beauty,
saving you time and money.
In addition, today's win-
dow technologies offer a

maintenance glass, featured

Bathroom By Numbers
(ARA) - Thmking about
updating your bathroom, but
not sure what to budget ~ or
if you'll even recoup the
costs in today's market? The
good news is that modifying
a bathroom not only adds
daily enjoyment and com-
fort, but will enhance your
home's value as well.
"Any changes you make
on your house now should
increase your home value
later," says Kermit Baker,
project director for the Re-
modeling Futures program
at Harvard University.
Still not convinced? Ac-
cording to "Consumer Re-
ports," a 5-by-7-foot bath-
room remodel , at a national
average cost of $ 1 5 ,000 , pro-
vides a solid return of 78
percent.
Get Started
To make your bathroom
transformation pay, begin
by creaUng a list of "must-
haves," "nice ideas" and
"dreams." This will help
you understand the numbers
before starting your reno-
vation and prioritize what
makes the most sense for
your investment.
Following are a few bath-
room projects, with low- and
high-end options, as well as
costs to consider before get-
ting started.
* Fixtures
Must-have
Fixtures, including sinks,
toilets and tub/showers, are
all must-haves in your bath-
room according to "House
& Home Magazine." Basic
versions can cost $350 to
$900 to replace, so plan ac-
cordingly. Upgrades such
as double or undermount
sinks, dual-flush toilets or
deep soaking tubs can range
from approximately $1,3(X)
to $2,250.
Nice Idea
If you don't want to
spend extra money replac-
ing some of the basics, why
not give your tub or shower
a quick touch-up? Try hiring
a surface-restoration com-
pany, such as Miracle Meth-
od (www.miraclemethod.
com). For approximately
$465 to $600 you can make
FLAVIN
Insurance
Agency
your ceramic, porcelain and
fiberglass fixtures shine like
new.
Dream Big
If you've always dreamed
of a luxury spa shower and
have room in your budget,
try installing a custom glass
shower enclosure. Retailers,
such as The Home Depot
offer a variety of glass or
glass block options ranging
from $2,000 to $3,500 that
will have you singing with
delight in the shower.
* Faucets
Must-have
Faucets are not only a
must-have, but can also be
the focal point in the bath-
room. Basic faucets range
from $50 to $350 with dif-
ferent finish selections and
configurations. Before go-
ing faucet shopping, be sure
to do your homework and
review your sink set-up.
Today's faucets are avail-
able in three primary styles:
4-inch centerset (the most
popular). 8-inch widespread
and single-hole (typically
seen in a vessel sink appli-
cation).
Nice Idea
When looking to replace
your faucet, choose one that
offers both style and water-
saving benefits. Moen's
Lindley bathroom faucet is
WaterSense labeled by the
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), indicating it
meets guidelines as an envi-
ronmentally responsible and
efficient product.
Lindley offers tradi-
tional, mid- and high-arc
designs that use 32 percent
less water without sacrific-
ing performance. Avail-
able at The Home Depot
for between $89 and $154,
Lindley is offered in today's
most popular finishes in-
cluding Chrome, LifeShine
Classic Brushed Nickel and
Old Worid Bronze.
And with your new hard-
ware updates, don't forget to
add finishing touches with
matching accessories such
as towel bars, towel rings,
robe hooks and pivoting pa-
per holders to help pull the
design of the room together.
Moen Accessories offers a
variety of options starting at
only $20.
* Storage and Counter-
tops
Nice Idea
Need more space? Try
installing a new or antique
dresser-like vanity for ap-
proximately $ 100 to $ 1 ,500.
It adds storage and style
with many options to per-
sonalize - or you can save
even more by recycling an
old dresser.
Dream Big
If high-end counter-
tops are your dream, add a
custom-built vanity. Prices
range from $2 ,000 to $5 ,000,
but allow you to customize
dimensions and choose from
materials including natural
stone, marble, frosted glass
or exotic and engineered
woods. It's also a great way
to give your bathroom a
brand-new look.
* Flooring
Must-have
Going for an upscale
look to complete the room
without the cost? Try in-
stalling ceramic or porcelain
tile. For approximately $1
to $3 per square foot, you
can choose from a variety
of colors, shapes, sizes and
finishes.
Nice Idea
Like the idea, but are
worried about stepping on
to a cold, uninviting floor
in the morning? A nice idea
is to install an electric floor
warming systems for under
your tile. Companies such
as SunTouch Floor Warming
Mats (www.suntouch.com)
can help with costs between
$400 and $ 1 ,600, depending
on your bathroom's size.
Dream Big
Or if you dream of high-
end porcelain tile and good-
quality stone and glass, op-
tions range from $7 to $18
per square foot. Want a cus-
tomized glass tile mosaic
for your bathroom floor in-
stead? For between $20 and
$200 per square foot, you
can design your own mas-
terpiece without any visible
grout lines.
No matter what your bud-
get or dreams, by investing
and renovating your bath-
room today you will enjoy
an improved room for years
to come and add some extra
cash in your pocket.

(ARA) - Years ago, the
kitchen served a very utili-
tarian function - a place to
prepare food and clean the
dishes. Today, it's truly the
nerve center of the house
where families eat meals,
discuss the day's happen-
ings, plan calendars, check
e-mail and even entertain.
As a result, more home-
owners than ever seek ways
to make their kitchens work
harder so they can re-focus
their energy away from
cooking and cleaning, and
put it more on their family
and friends who have gath-
ered.
High-tech faucets and
appliances, expanded work
surfaces and carefully
thought-through floor plans
are just a few elements that
have emerged in kitchen
trends. But one of the most
noticeable differences in to-
day's kitchen is the demand
for multiple sinks and vari-
ous water sources.
According to Jeff Pratt,
of Danze, a manufacturer of
decorative plumbing prod-
ucts, many homeowners are
using multiple sink areas to
increase efficiency. How-
ever, they don't want to sac-
rifice the ability to showcase
their personal tastes and eye
for design.
"Homeowners and de-
signers place a lot of em-
phasis on a sink's role when
planning a kitchen remod-
el," says Pratt. "While con-
venience and functionality
have always been concerns,
today's homeowners also
want to enhance the room's
ambiance and decor they've
worked hard to achieve.
Style can't be sacrificed for
function or convenience any
more."
According to Pratt, the
countertops you surround
the sink with and the faucets
you place on them, can add
much of the design a hom-
eowner seeks.
If you're looking for
ideas on how to make your
kitchen more functional and
stylish, consider integrat-
ing these options into your
kitchen remodeling plan:
Main Sink
An all-purpose station
primarily used for clean-up
duty, the main sink often
features a deeper, single
basin to handle dishes and
oversized pots and pans.
Pratt suggests pairing these
sinks with a high-rise pre-
rinse faucet or pull -down
faucet. These faucets im-
prove functionality of the
sink area by allowing users
to literally "take the water
to the work," but are notice-
ably fashionable.
In addition to the prima-
ry functional faucet, many
kitchens feature a water fil-
tration faucet or tap as part
of their main sink configura-
tion.
Second Sink
Often located in a center
island, this sink helps avoid
congestion at the main sink
and is a great way to increase
a kitchen's workflow. Many
refer to this sink as a prep
sink, which quite literally
is one of its primary uses.
Homeowners commonly
use this extra workspace
for cutting vegetables, chill-
ing wine or washing hands
before a meal. Choosing a
faucet style and finish that
complements the room's de-
cor can add an eye-catching
decorative piece to an other-
wise "ho-hum" island.
Bar Sink
Also referred to as a con-
venience sink or a beverage
center, this area is tradition-
ally used for entertaining
purposes. It's occasionally
located on the center is-
land, but is often placed on
a separate countertop in the
kitchen or adjacent room (if

ing your view better and
cleaning easier.
Choose a reputable com-
pany that provides installa-
tion and warrants it.
Quality installation is a
critical component of any
successful window replace-
ment project. Even the high-
est quality windows will
under-perform if installed
incorrectly. That's why Re-
newal by Andersen includes
professional installation as
a key part of their window
replacement process, offer-
ing homeowners the ease of
working with one company
throughout their entire win-
dow replacement project. In
addition, the company pro-
vides a limited warranty on
both its products and instal-
lation.
Eliminating those uncom-
fortable drafts and unsightly
windows is a great way to
start the year. Armed with
the knowledge to make the
right window replacement
decision for your home, you
can easily commit to mak-
ing this the year to make
your home more beautiful,
comfortable and energy ef-
ficient.

choose a faucet that matches
the other kitchen faucets.
Danze offers several types
of bar faucets including
high-arc options, small-
scale faucets and pull -down
faucets. Choose a style that
will make this space "enter-
taining."
Looking for another wa-
ter source without a full
sink? Try incorporating
a pot filler faucet at your
stovetop. These faucets pro-
vide a convenient, safe way
to add more water to boiling
pots or saute pans. Danze of-
fers a variety of wall mount
and deck mount pot fillers in
traditional and contempo-
rary options.
As you plan your kitchen
remodel or look for w ays to
maximize your work areas,
don't be shy about making
your sinks, work surfaces
and water sources work hard
for you. But don't forget that
style is just as important in
today's kitchen.

How to Silence
a Squeaky Floor
/^,The hardwfKKl floor
\J • in my loft apartment
is beautiful. It's very old
and has a rough hntk from
generations of use. but the
floorboards squeak loudly
in several places. The land-
lord says the floors are as-
is and won't repair them,
but he did say I could try to
fix the problem myself.
How do I do that? — Tony
B., Boston
A .Squeaky floortx^ards
• are an annoying prob-
lem, and can be an expensive
fix depending on the cause
of the squeak. If the boards
just squeak when stepped on
and don't sag under your
weight, the sound can be
minimized without tix>
much work.
Roorboards squeak
because one board is rub-
bing against another On a
perfect floor, boards don't
rub against one another
because they lie flat against
the subflooring and are
placed firmly side by side
Over the years, however,
heat, cold and damp, as well
as everyday use. cause the
boards to swell and contract,
sag under heavy weight, and
spring up away from the
subfloor.
A quick fix, one that works
on minor squeaks, is to
squeeze graphite powder
between the boards. (Some
folks use talcum powder
instead.) This lubricates the
joints, and although the
boards still rub against each
other when you walk over
them, the squeak will be
minimized or disappear —
but only for a.s long as the
lubricant stays in place.
Larger squeaks and sag-
ging boards lake a bit more
work. If you have access to
the subtlcxjring (unlikely in
an apartment building),
stand beneath it as someone
walks across the floor above
and pinpoint the squeaky
areas Then, hammer shims
(thin wedges of w<kk1)
between the juisi nearest the
squeak and the subfltKiring
and put wood screws up
through the .subflcjor to the
center of each board to reat-
tach them to the subfl(x>r.
Chances arc you don't
have access to the subfloor
so you'll have to work from
the top In this case, locale
the squeaky spots and ham-
mer finishing nails into the
edges of the hoards at sever-
al spots Angle the nails
slightly so they'll have less
chance to work back out.
You can also re -anchor the
boards to the subfloor from
this direction by placing
either nails or screws along
the center of each board.
Drill a pilot hole first, and
then either drive a nail or a
screw into the board, sinking
the head of the nail below
the board surface. Fill the
small hole that results with
wood putty to hide the nail
head.
If a floorboard squeaks and
.sags so much that you're
afraid you'll fall through,
it's time to re-engage the
attention of the landlord.
Check the lease laus in your
state most lean in favor of
the tenant If the flooring
problem is so severe that it
impacts your ability to live
comfortably in the apart-
ment, the landlord has an
obligation to fix it.

A Job Well Done
On Friday, Feb. 13, 2009 at about 1:17 P.M., Officer
Scott Doherty was dispatched to Cleverly Court to meet a
victim of an "armed robbery" that just occurred.
The victim stated over
the phone that the suspects
fled in a gray car. While
other units searched for the
suspect vehicle. Officer Do-
herty interviewed the vic-
tim, who said that he had
posted his Playstation 3
(PS3) on Craigslist.com for
sale and received a cell
phone call from a prospec-
tive buyer who said that his
name was Gary.
A follow up call
from "Gary" was made seeking directions to the vic-
tim's home, which he gave. Ihe victim noted that the
cell phone number was the same as the original call.
When the suspects arrived at the victim's house, they en-
tered without any problems, although the victim noted
that one of the suspects was wearing a black stocking type
cap that had eye holes cut out of it, as if to be pulled down
over his face. He also had a red bandana hanging out of
his back pocket.
The victim was concerned that these items
could be used to hide their identities, but
they were not wearing them over their faces.
While in the house, the suspects examined the PS3 and
one of the games for it, (Madden 09) and talked about
purchasing it. Suspect #1 asked the victim how much he
wanted and was told $250.(X). Suspect #\ was hold-
ing the PS3 boxed unit cradled under one arm and with
the other arm, he pulled up his shirt purposely to show a
handgun he had stuffed in his waistband.
The suspect then said, "Thanks, we appreciate it."
Both suspects then walked out the door without paying
the victim for the Playstation. The suspects got into a gray
colored vehicle and drove away and it was at this point
that the victim called the Police.
The victim provided a thorough description of the
handgun. Lieutenant Detective John Steele arrived on
scene and interviewed the victim, who provided a thor-
ough description of the handgun. One of the video games
was touched by the suspects and left excellent finger-
prints, so the game was seized as evidence. Officer Do-
herty provided Lieutenant Steele with the phone number
that the suspects used to contact the victim. Soon after.
Lieutenant Steele received the name and Weymouth ad-
dress of the owner of the phone.
Officer Doherty transported the victim and joined
Lieutenant Steele and Detective Jason Maclsaac in Wey-
mouth, where Weymouth Detectives were conducting
surveillance on the home. Lieutenant Steele and Detec-
tive Maclsaac went to the door and interviewed a male
who matched the description of the suspect. After a brief
conversation, the suspect (#2) admitted to being in Quin-
cy and taking the Play Station 3. He directed the Detec-
tives into his home and showed them the PS3, which was
hooked up to the television in the living room and had
a game in the system. The PS3 and its box were seized
as evidence.
Suspect #2 identified the other suspect by name and
said that he lived in Norwood. Detective Wash created
a photo array and suspect #2 picked out suspect #1 as
his conspirator. The photo array was also shown to the
victim, who also picked out suspect #2. After booking,
suspect #2 was interviewed by Detectives' Maclsaac and
Tom Cleary after waiving his Miranda rights.
Suspect #2 said that he called about the PS3 and con-
firmed the telephone number on his cell phone. He contin-
ued by saying that suspect #1 came to his house and they
both went to the victim's house, with suspect #1 driving.
Suspect #2 admitted that once in the car, he asked suspect
#1 to take the PS3 and he would give him $100.00 for do-
ing it.
Suspect #2 said once a price was agreed upon, he went
out to the car to get his wallet and when he came back
into the house, the victim was giving suspect #1 the PS3,
all boxed up. Suspect #1 said, "Thanks" to the victim
and the suspects both walked out the door. Once in the
car, suspect #1 became very angry with suspect #2 for
taking so long getting back from the car into the house.
Suspect #1 dropped suspect #2 off at his home, where
suspect #2 gave suspect #1 $100.00. Suspect #2 set up
his "new" PS3 system to his television. Suspect #2 was
asked about suspect #1 lifting up his shirt to show a hand-
gun to the victim, but he stated that he did not see suspect

First Round Home Game, 7 p.m. Wednesday
Red Raiders Excited About Post-Season Chances
By SEAN BRENNAN
A home game tonight
(Wednesday) opens up the
2(K)9 Division I South state
tournament for the North
Quincy Red Raiders. North
Quincy. which is seeded
third out of 17 eligible
teams, will play host to the
H\4 seed Newton North HS
at 7 p.m.
This first-round home
game pits the 15-4 Raid-
ers against 11-9 Newton
North. If North Quincy can
hold court at home, the team
would then host a quarter-
final game against the win-
ner of the Needham/Durfee
first-round game. But for
the North and head coach
Michael Jorgenson, the only
game that matters is the first
one.
"We have been looking
back at the school records
and this may be the high-
est seed any basketball team
has had at North Quincy. It
is pretty exciting. We have
accomplished a lot this year:
a Fisher Division title and
15 wins.
"We did not really know
what to expect playing in
this new league (Patriot
League), but the team has
played great all year and we
have been rewarded with a
first-round home game. But
we need to take care of busi-
ness against Newton before
we can look forward."
This year's Raiders will
be looking to match last
year's team's run to the Di-
vision I South semifinals.
The 2(K)7-()8 team and the
GIRLS
BASKETBALL
2(K)S-()9 have similar re-
sumes. Last year North won
15 games, this year's team
has already won 15 games,
last year's team captured
the Atlantic Coast League
North Division title, this
year's team captured the Pa-
triot League's Fisher Divi-
sion crown.
The Raiders made it all
the way to the semifinals
in 2(X)8. The team defeated
Bndgewater-Raynham HS
67-58 in the first round,
knocked off the U\ seeded
Franklin High School in the
quarters, before falling to
New Bedford in the semifi-
nals. With a number of play-
ers off last year's team back
this season, Jorgenson has
high hopes for another long
tourney run.
"We have a number of
proven players who have
been a part of these types of
games last year." he added.
"Players like Siobhan Car-
nell, Kathleen Lynch and
Catherine O'Connell will
be asked to carry the load
for the younger players. But
these girls knt)w what to ex-
pect in the tournament and
after the initial nervousness
we should be ready to go
and I expect them to play up
to their abilities.
"Playing in our home
gym IS a big factor. We are
hoping a large crowd comes
out and supports us, and we
are sure they will, but we
need to focus on Newton
and not worry about what
could happen if we were to
win."
When asked what he
and his staff expected from
Newton North, Jorgenson
was confident but at the
same time understood that
the game would not be a
first-round cakewalk.
"They play in a very good
league (Bay State)," Jorgen-
son said. "That league is
very competitive and every
game they play is against a
solid team. Iheir record is
deceiving and if we are not
ready to play we could be
in trouble. But at the same
time we are confident in our
group and will be ready to
play."
Jorgenson sees last year's
successful tournament run
as a positive for this year's
team.
"I can tell you that not
one player on this team who
played last year was happy
that ue made it all the way
to the semifinals. Ihey all
felt like they could have
won more games and that is
a good thing as we start an-
other post-season.
■■\\e have that game ex-
perience and we know what
it takes to advance. It all
starts Wednesday."
Jorgenson will lean on
his senior class against
Newton North. Carnell,
Lynch and 0'C\)nnell were
all named as Patriot League
all-stars last week. Ihey will
be helped by seniors Jessie

decision at the event. Gerry
had previously defeated
Pronk. 5-4, in the Wey-
mouth Tournament final
last month. Gerry improved
his season record to 38-2.
"It was a state tourna-
ment: I wasn't holding any-
thing back,"' Gerry said. "I
just went at him and caught
him in the first period, and
just went with that momen-
tum. I had been preparing
for this moment since last
season, doing extra run-
ning and extra workout ses-
sions.
"I had no doubt that if
I faced him I would win.
I feel like I outworked ev-
eryone there and I never
backed down."
Gerry wrestled at 119-
pounds as a sophomore and
finished third in this tourna-
ment last year.
"Hard work and prepa-
ration equals success." said
QHS head coach Pat Lane.
"Josh loves this sport and
executed and dominated
when it counted the most.
He really wanted this win
because last season Pronk
defeated him twice last
year by a 5-4 margin.
"The excitement in the
gym after Josh took Pronk
down in the early stages of
the match was noticeable.
He just went in and domi
nated him. He deserved to
be the state champion."
Senior captain Paul Reg-
giannini finished in third
place in the 140-pound
class. Seniors Zack Man-
ning (171 -pounds) and
Scott Griffin (152-pounds)
also wrestled well for the
Presidents.
"Paul lost a tough match
in the semifinals and could
have packed it in for the rest
of the day, but he didn't,"
added Lane. "He used that
tough loss as motivation
and he finished with two
strong wins. He decided to
go for third place and he
wrestled with a purpose. I
am very proud of him.
"Zack finished the tour-
ney at 2-2 in a very tough
weight class (171 -pounds).
He rose to the occasion on a
day when he wasn't feeling
his best. Finishing in the
top-8 in that class is a job
well done. Scott finished
the day 1-2 and wrestled
well."
Reggiannini had this to
say about his day:
"I took my first two
matches by major decision
and after losing in the semis
I knew I had to go out there
and show them what I had
left. Getting third was not
my goal but I had to get
back out there and show
everyone that I can beat
anyone in my weight class.
It was a great day for all
four of us."
The North Quincy Red
Raiders also had several
individuals give standout
performances.
Senior Mark Thach
took sixth place in the 1 19-
pound class. Junior Dan
Amato (215-pounds) and
senior Terrell Staley (125-
pounds) also wrestled well
for the Red Raiders.
Gerry and Reggiannini
will both be competing this
weekend at the All-States
in Salem.
Defeats Scituate 9-3
Future's Bright For Q-NQ
By SEAN BRENNAN
A 9-3 season-ending
victory over Scituate High
School gave the Quincy-
North Quincy girls" hockey
team six wins for the year.
A major improvement for a
team that had zero wins last
season and has a roster lit-
tered with underclassmen.
"It was a big win for
the program," said Q-NQ
head coach Kelli Doolin.
"The girls were ready to
play and we were fortunate
to have shots find the back
of the net. For a team that
didn't win a game last year,
to come out this season and
capture six victories made
for a successful year.
"We are going to gradu-

ate only two seniors so next
year we should be even bet-
ter. My underclassmen have
only gotten better and more
experienced this season.
The future is very bright for
Quincy-North Quincy."
Against Scituate, senior
forward Meg Gillespie re-
corded a hat trick (three
goals), and freshmen Chris-
tina Walsh and Presley
McLaughlin each scored
twice.
"I was happy for my se-
niors that they got to end
their high school careers
with a win," added Doolin.

"They really helped the
coaching staff this year.
With so many underclass-
men, they showed leader-
ship. They will be missed.
"This year, every game
we got better. We had im-
provement across the board
and we can use this season's
success as a building block
moving forward."
Q-NQ, which finished
the season with a 6-11 re-
cord, will return four of its
five highest point getters in
2009-10. Leading scorer,
junior Colleen Newcomb,
missed her team's final
three games due to injury
but still racked up 20 points
(13 goals, seven assists).
Freshmen McLaughlin and
Walsh ended the season as
the team's second and third
ranked scorers. McLaughlin
finished with 19 points (13
goals, six assists) and Walsh
finished with 12 points (five
goals, seven assists).
Senior Lauren Brooks
finished the year with eight
points (two goals, six as-
sists) and junior Laura
O'Donnell had eight points
(three goals, five assists).
"We return so many of
our top goal scorers that we
can only get better," said
Doolin. "I had four fresh-
men contribute. We also

NQ: Moving On Or
Heading Home?
By the time The Quincy
Sun reaches newsstands this
week the North Quincy Red
Raiders boys' hockey team
will either be packing up
their equipment bags for an-
other long off-season, or the
team will be getting ready
for a Division II South Sec-
tional quarterfinal matchup
against #1 seed Canton High
School.
The Raiders, owners of a
12-6-3 overall record, were
scheduled to play host Tues-
day night against Plymouth
North High School. North
entered the post-season as
the #8 seed and Plymouth
South as the #9 seed.
North Quincy earned
its third straight spot in the
Division II South Section-
als by virtue of its second-
place finish in the Patriot
League. The team wrapped
up league play, its first year
in the Patriot League, with
an impressive 9-4-1 record.

Finishes
By SEAN BRENNAN
One big season-ending
win could have huge ramifi-
cations for the Quincy Pres-
idents when the team opens
up the 2009-10 season next
fall.
Quincy, which will
graduate just three players
off this year's roster, upset
tournament bound Hingham
High School on Feb. 12,76-
72. The win gave the Presi-
dents an overall record of
4-16 and 4-12 in the Patriot
League. Hingham finished
their regular season with an
1 1-9 overall record.
"The first time we played
them, they handled us,"
said QHS head coach Jeff
Bretsch. "Tonight, we beat
them. It is that exciting for
us. I kept saying to the girls,
'I'm waiting for the game
where it just clicks, where
it all works. ' We finally got
that in our last game."
Leading the way for the
Presidents was senior Katie
Chernicki (12 points off the
bench) junior Leslie Camp-
bell (23 points, 12 rebounds)
and sophomore Kori So-
rensen (24 points, 8-for-ll
from the free-throw line).
"It was a tremendous

broke High School (11-1-2
league record) all year for
the top-spot in the league.
Heading into the tour-
nament, the team is led of-
fensively by senior forward
Brandon Gilmore. Gilmore
led all Patriot League scor-
ers with 19 goals and 19 as-
sists, good for 38 points.
Junior goalie Matt Brun-
dige finished the season
among the best backstops
in the Patriot League. Brun-
dige ended his year with a
2.08 goals against average.
The eleven-team Division
II South Sectional field is
wide-open. Last year. North
Quincy entered tourney play
with a 10-7-4 record and
dropped a first-round game
to Franklin High School,
3-2. Gilmore scored both
goals for the Raiders.
This year, a first-round
victory would mean a date
with top-seeded Canton HS.
The Bulldogs finished the
regular season with a 15-
3-2 record. Other notable
schools in the tournament
include Mansfield (#2, 15-
4-l),CoyleCassidy(#3, 14-
4-2), Franklin (#4, 14-5-1),
Nauset (#5, 14-5-1), Sand-
wich (#6, 12-4-4), Martha's
Vineyard (#7, 12-4-4), NQ,
Plymouth North, Whitman-
Hanson (#10, 10-9-1) and
Oliver Ames (#11, 10-1-0).
The rest of the Red
Raider roster includes se-
niors Joe Vailpando, Kevin
Chenette, Scott Richardson,
Brian McLean, Evan Ver-
hault, Bobby Fontana, Paul
Reardon, Matt Rodriguez
and Gilmore, juniors Jake
Mullaney, Ryan Gorman,
Trevor Richardson, Brandon
Whitehouse and Brundige,
sophomores Mike Nelson,

game for Campbell,"
Bretsch added. "And Katie
was hitting shots from ev-
erywhere. We had to battle
to hang on to this one, but
the kids really had to step
up, and they responded in a
big way."
With Campbell and So-
rensen back next year, along
with juniors Olivia Berry
(a developing force in the
paint). Colleen Tobin, Kylie
Kozlowski, Becca Shea
and Julia Yee and freshman
guard Juli Tomer, the Presi-
dents should be a better and
more experienced squad.
"This was our best
game of the season," added
Brestch. "We played to win,
not lose. We attacked their
press defense and we shot
the ball really well. It took
us awhile this season to play
off each other, but in this
game we did and we scored
the most points all year."
Fans of the program
should be encouraged by
the play of the team's under-
classmen in the latter part of
the season. One bright star
to keep a close eye on mov-
ing forward is Sorensen.
"This year as our point
guard she had more respon-
sibility," said Brestch. "She
has made progress but it did
take time for her to learn to
play against other team's
best defenders. But she sure
ended the season strong.
She had 18-second half
points Hingham.
"Campbell, Berry, Cher-
nicki and Kori all played
their best games of the sea-
son in this game."
The team will miss
the production of Deanna
Hutchins, Elisa Lam and
Chernicki next season, but
Quincy is expected to have
members of their JV and
freshmen teams make im-
pacts sooner rather than
later, and that has Brestch
excited about what the fu-
ture brings.
"We have come a long
way this year and have seen
big improvement by a num-
ber of players. We graduate
only three players and we
have serious talent on the
JV and freshmen teams.
We should big better next
year."

Suspect #2 was adamant that suspect #1 did not have
a gun nor did he see him motion that he had a gun. Detec-
tive Cleary explained the seriousness of the armed robbery
and asked the suspect if there was something other than
a gun that the victim may have confused as a gun and he
said no, not that he was aware of. After concluding the in-
terrogation, the detectives contacted the Norwood Police
Department and asked them to apprehend suspect #1 , who
may be armed.
A short time later. Norwood Police notified the Detec-
tives that suspect #1 was in custody. Suspect #1 was also
interrogated and admitted to the crime, with the exception
of showing a handgun. Detective Maclsaac contacted the
victim and told him that it was very important to clarify this
issue about the gun, that he had to be 100 % certain about
seeing a gun. The victim confirmed that he saw the gun in
the waistband of suspect #1 . Both suspects gave the same
confession, with the exception of possessing a gun. Based
on the available information. Suspect #1. a 20-year-old
Norwood resident, was charged with "Armed Robbery and
Conspiracy". Suspect #2, a 22-year-old Weymouth resi-
dent, faced the same charges and it will be up to the Judge
to determine if a weapon was used.
Nice Work!
As in this case, buying or selling from an unknown per-
son has its' inherent risks. Is the buyer reputable? Does
he/she pose a threat to you? Are they paying by cash or
check?
Is the seller reputable? Are they selling stolen goods?
Will there be problems if the item becomes defective after
the sale? There are many more questions to be asked based
on the circumstances of each unique sale. For safety pur-
poses, try to make the transaction in public, whether it be
at a local donut shop or even at curbside in front of your
home. As always, allowing an unknown person(s) inside
your home puts you at risk.

Clearing the Air On
Allergies In The Home
Last Day To Order Is March 2
Countdown To American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days
(ARA) - Chances are
you're one of the estimated
50 million Americans who
are affected by some form
of allergies.
Fortunately, you can keep
sniffs, sneezes and itching at
bay with some simple sug-
gestions for the home that
significantly reduce the
number of allergens roam-
ing through the air.
• Dust every room - One
of the easiest paths to an
allergy-free home - dusting
- may already be a part of
your spring cleaning rou-
tine. Dust mites can collect
in a variety of materials
around the house; especially
those with fabric, including
upholstered furniture, mat-
tresses and pillows.
Make sure to check un-
der and behind all large
furniture and appliances in-
cluding tables, dressers, re-
frigerators and ceiling fans.
You should always use a
damp cloth when dusting, as
a dry cloth only spreads the
dust around.
• Pull up the carpet - Bac-
teria, dust and dirt can easily
become embedded in car-
peting and beyond the reach
of vacuuming. To solve this,
consider installing hard-
wood flooring throughout
the home. When properly
cared for, hardwood floors
are extremely resistant to the
microscopic allergens that
carpet can attract including
pet dander, pollen and mold.
Carpet is also known to trap
dust mites that are too small
to be seen and cause allergic
symptoms, according to the
Asthma and Allergy Foun-
dation of America.
"Hardwood flooring is
much easier to install and
less expensive than most ho-
meowners realize and pro-
vides a significantly healthi-
er home environment," says
Tom Sullivan, founder and
chairman of Lumber Liqui-
dators.
Hardwood floors still
need a cleaning every few
weeks. Products such as the
popular Bellawood Floor
Care Kit include a soy-based
cleaner, perfect for keeping
floors clean and in the best
shape possible.
• Uncover the AC - Al-
though it may be tempting to
crack the windows to enjoy
the breeze, allergy sufferers
should choose air condition-
ing instead of an open win-
dow. When the season is in
full bloom, the air coming
through the windows may
carry a welcoming smell , but
it's actually carrying tons of
allergens into the home.
Homeowners already us-
ing air conditioning should
check the filters regularly to
ensure the system is func-
tioning properiy.
• Use the exhaust fan -
Keeping surfaces dry helps
prevent the growth of mold
in moist areas of the home.
Installing and regulariy us-
ing an exhaust fan while
showering helps keep mold
at bay. Also make sure to
thoroughly wash your show-
er curtain every week or buy
inexpensive liners that you
can replace regularly.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT
If you have ever wondered 6220 today to schedule your first
what would happen if you ne-
glected to brush and floss your
teeth, a study was once under-
taken In which a group of dental
students were asked to give up
oral hygiene for 21 days. At the
ervj of the three weeks, all ex-
hibited signs of plaque, gingivitis,
arxj overt dinical inflammation.
Without daily flossing, plaque
(a sticky, colorless substance
that fomis daily on teeth) builds
between teeth. In as little as two
days, plaque can transfonn itself
to a hard substance, called calcu-
professional cleaning of 2009.
Good oral hygiene is important,
not only for looks, but for general
health as well. Poor oral hygiene
can lead to a variety of dental and
medical problems, such as gum
disease, infection, bone bss,
heart disease, strokes and mae.
Regular checkups and cleanings
can prevent these problems as
well as provide you with good
oral hygiene. You can count
on us for family-oriented dental
care. We're located at 44 Green-
leaf Street, where we're currently

(ARA) - The newly in-
stalled first family is young,
vibrant and providing inspi-
ration for millions of Ameri-
cans to get active. What are
some of the Obamas' favor-
ite fitness activities and how
can you stay in shape like
the newest residents of the
White House?
The first, and perhaps
biggest, step is to make
time to get up and get mov-
ing. The president and first
lady show that even with
a very busy schedule, you
can find the time to stay fit
and healthy. Make a date
on your calendar to work
out and keep it. Participate
in a variety of activities to
keep it interesting and work
out with a friend or family
member so you can moti-
vate each other.
The President
He may be just about the
busiest man on the planet,
but President BarackObama
still makes time to stay in
shape. He enjoys running,
swimming and, most fa-
mously, playing basketball.
Running is great aero-
bic exercise that efficiently
burns calories and boosts
cardiovascular health.
Whether you jog on a tread-
mill or enjoy running out-
doors, make sure you have
a pair of running shoes that
fit properly. Before you be-
gin running, it's crucial to
stretch and warm up prop-
erly to prevent any injuries.
Swimming is a great way
to work the whole body, but
is much more low-impact
than running. While most
people don't have the ben-
efit of an on-site pool like at
the White House, the health
benefits of swimming make
it worth the trip to your lo-
cal community pool. Swim-
ming improves cardiovas-
cular health, endurance and
muscle strength and an hour
in the pool burns about as
many calories as running six
miles.
If your goal is to shoot
hoops with the president,
you'll have a lot of practic-
ing to do, but you'll certain-
ly get in shape in the pro-
cess. In addition to burning
hundreds of calories, a game
of basketball with friends or
family is a great way to have
fun.
The First Lady
Michelle Obama has be-
come a style icon and a role
model for women world-
wide. She makes it a priority
to go to the gym to swim and
use free weights and makes
sure to use time with daugh-
ters Malia and Sasha to stay
active. Her friends have said
she is a motivated and accu-
rate rope -jumper, an activ-
ity that can burn 100 to 200
calories in just 10 minutes.
The first lady has also
been known to pick up a
hula hoop and strut her stuff.
Her husband told "People
Magazine" that Mrs. Obama
is, "The best hula-hooper 1
know." Hula hooping is a
low-impact exercise and.
according to the American
Council on Exercise, burns
up to 200 calories when you
work out for 30 minutes.
You can burn even more cal-
ories and trim up to 2-inches
from your waist if you use a
piece of equipment such as
a Sports Hoop - a weighted
hoop you swivel for just 10
to 15 minutes to tone mus-
cles and burn calories and
fat (Sports-Hoop.com). It's
a workout that is fun and
so easy the entire family
can hoop together, even the
kids.
One of the most impor-
tant fitness items Michelle
Obama says she keeps on
hand is a posifive body im-
age. When you feel good
about yourself and keep
a positive atutude, you're
more likely to stick to
healthy behaviors and hab-
its.

Do Cholesterol
Drugs Really
Work?
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I read a cover story in a
national maga/Jne that
claimed there is much
question about the need to
lower cholesterol and to
prescribe statin medicines.
I can't believe this story
wasn't front-page news,
since 18 million Americans
take statin drugs. People
taking statins are exposed
to the risks of muscle pain,
memory loss and sexual
dysfunction. My husband
experienced these first-
hand. His doctor ignored
all his complaints and
changed only the brand of
statin drug. I hope you look
into these reports on cho-
lesterol and statin drugs
and get the truth out to
your readers. — R.B.
ANSWER: I know that
voices of dissent arise about
every medical theory and
over every drug developed to
correct what most consider a
health hazard. Numerous
studies have confirmed the
proposition that high blood
cholesterol and high blood
LDL cholesterol lead to
heart attacks and strokes.
Most of the worldwide med-
ical community subscribes
to that proposition. Similar-
ly, innumerable articles have
people about the importance
of cancer prevention and
early detection and advo-
cate for meaningful public
health policies that benefit
the community.
Resources in Massachu-
setts include:
• Transportation assis-
tance to and from treatment
• A one -on -one sup-
port program that matches
trained breast cancer survi-
vors with those newly diag-
nosed, to provide emotional
support and guidance
• A series of online edu-
cational classes for people
with cancer and their loved
ones
• A free and confidential
service that helps cancer pa-
tients locate a cancer clini-
cal trial based on their indi-
vidual situation
• A free program dedicat-
ed to teaching women tech-
niques to help restore their
appearance and self-image
during cancer treatments

org.
demonstrated that lowering
cholesterol and LDL choles-
terol prevents bean attacks
and strokes, prolongs life
and can possibly reverse
artery-hardening. All of this
has been done by rigorous
scientific investigations.
.Statins are the most power-
ful medicines for the lower-
ing of cholesterol. (.Statins
are: Zocor, Pravachol,
Crestor, Lescol, Mevacor
and Lipitor.) Muscle pain
occurs in 1 in 1,(KX) users.
Muscle datnage occurs in
much fewer. Memory loss
and sexual dysfunction are
very rare. Most of the side
effects of statins are reversed
with discontinuation.
Every doctor I know
believes in the cholesterol
theory and m the benefits of
statin therapy. I put my mon-
ey where my nioutlj is. 1 take
a statin.
To be fair, the magazine
should present the other side
of the story.
The pamphlet on choles-
terol tells the whole story in
detail. Readers can obtain a
copy by writing; Dr. Dono-
hue — No. 20 IW, Box
536475. Orlando, ¥L 32853-

We are, by nature, I think, creatures
of habit. I have heard it said that most
of us will not change until the pain of
remaining the same is greater than the
pain of changing. We are like the old dog
the preacher encountered when he went
to visit an elderly church member. As the
DON McCarthy ^^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^ ^j^^ j|,g ^^^g continu-
Managing Director ^„y ^^,^^^ and growled. The old man
explained why . . . "The old dog is trying to sleep, but he's lying
on a nail. He hurts enough that he can't sleep, but he doesn't
hurt enough to make him get up and move.
Often we hurt enough to moan and growl about the way
things are and never consider trying an attitude of thanksgi v ing
to improve our lives. The Apostle Paul said in I Thessalonians
5:18 we are to "give thanks in all circumstances." He believed
it would make a positive difference in our lives.
Attitude is a choice. Victor FrankI wrote: "The last of the
human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of
circumstances." You don't just evolve intoa thankful person,you
choose to become one. . . One preacher wn>te, "If your abilities
are equal to those of other people and you are not sharing in
equal success, then your attitudes are probably the difference.
Since God created you with the freedom to choose your attitude,
the choice determines much of what happens to you."

Quincy Youths Sing At The Vatican
Four Boston College
High School students from
Quincy were among 15
members of the school's
Concert Choir which re-
cently took part in a concert
tour of Rome.
The Quincy students are:
Seniors Hric Jaukkun
and Joseph l^rincipato and
sophomores Keegan Han-
non and Mark Hogan.
I'pon landing m Rome,
the jet-lagged singers im-
mediately set off across the
cit) . tirst under the ominous
arches of the Colosseum,
then through the majestic
ruins of the Roman Forum.
The following day. the choir
traveled beyond the city
walls to visit the catacombs,
the ancient Christian un-
derground burial chambers,
then wandered through the
towering ruins of the baths
of Caracal! a.
Fhat night, the choir, un-
der the leadership of direc-
tor Dr. Marina Rozenberg of
Quincy. performed a friend-
ship concert w ith the singers
of Coro Primo Levi, thrill-
ing their hosts with their
renditions of "Ave Maria.""
"Come Back to Sorrento.""
"The Prayer," and "O, Sole
Mio."
As dawn broke the
next morning, the choir
toured the vast museums
of the Vatican, saw count-
less priceless works of art,
as well as the final resting

places of past Popes and St.
Peter himself. Words failed
as the group craned their
necks to take in Michelan-
gelo's mural on the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel.
That evening, the choir
returned to the magnificent
St. Peter's Basilica in the
Vatican to sing Mass per-
forming with poise and pro-
fessionalism beyond their
years. Merely walking
past Michelangelo's Pieta
and staring up into the mas-
sive vaulted ceiling were
awe-inspiring and humbling
enough, but the gravity of
actually singing in such a
place weighed upon all the
singers and accompanying
parents and friends, and
represented a significant
milestone in the growth of
the Concert Choir from its
simple beginning.
Cramming in as much
cultural and educational
enrichment as their sched-
ule would allow, the choir
gaped with disbelief at the
seemingly-living figures of
ancient gods hewn from cold
marble by Gian Lorenzo
Bernini, as well as enjoyed
authentic pi:zii rustica by
the waters of Trevi Foun-
tain. The trip to Rome con-
cluded with a final concert
in the venerable Basilica
San Giorgio al Velabro.

City Hall Workers
Vote 74-3 To Accept
1-Year Wage Freeze
Another 10 Inches Brings Season Snowfall To 75.5
City Takes March
Storm In Stride
City Hall workers voted
overwhelmingly Tuesday as
the third group of employ-
ees to accept Mayor Thomas
Koch's request for a one-
year wage freeze as part of
the city's plans to confront
the ongoing fiscal crisis.
Domenic Venturelli , pres-
ident of the Quincy Pubic
Employees Association said
late Tuesday that the vote
was 74-3 in favor of the
wage freeze.
The 136-member union
includes office staff, cleri-
cal positions and custodi-
ans throughout every city
department, with average
salaries around $40,000 a
year. The wage freeze will
save about $170,000 in the
city budget that begins in
July, when the city will be
hit with substantial state-aid
cuts and declining revenue
from other sources.
"We all have to do our

part, and this is our way of
working with the Mayor to
help us save jobs and ser-
vices the city provides,"
Venturelli said. "Giving up
a raise we negotiated in a
contract will not be easy
for many of our members,
but it is the right thing to do
considering the times we are
in."
The union would join
firefighters and traffic su-
pervisors in the Police
Department as the first two
unions to accept the one-
year wage freeze. If all
2,000 employees agree to
Mayor Koch's request, the
city will save $5 million.
The wage freeze is one
piece of a major cost-cutting
plan the administration is
pursuing as it prepares a new
city budget. Major spending
cuts are a near-certainty,
and the wage freeze does
not guarantee that there will
be no layoffs among city
or school ranks, but it will
"make a major difference in
terms of how much we will
need to cut from the bud-
get," Koch said.
"We are taking aggressive
action to address this crisis,
and this request is one im-
portant step," Koch added.
"It does not get us out of the
woods by any stretch, but
it once again shows that by
working together on behalf
of the City we will man-
age this crisis and emerge a
stronger community."

State 5 Opinion Awaited On Independence Issue
City, College Officials To Meet Again March 16, 18
By LAURA GRIFFIN
City and college officials
will meet again March 16
and March 18 as they pre-
pare to terminate their 50-
year relationship. At this
time, the college is a depart-
ment of the City of Quincy.
President M. Sue Harris
is hoping for Quincy Col-
lege independence by June
1" in order to expedite ac-
creditation review due in the
fall.
However, breaking up is
hard to do as city and col-
lege officials are learning
in the process of going their
separate ways.
Even an amicable split
could turn bitter after de-
cades of partnership, partic-
ularly if $500-an-hour law-
yers are involved, one party
feels stifled by the relation-
ship, the other party used,
and the fine print ignores
reimbursement for decades
of support and leaves health
insurance and pension ques-
tions in limbo.
The college was founded
in 1958 and subsidized by
the city until 1980 when it
became fully self-support-
ing but remained a depart-
ment of the city.
Now, its Board of Gov-
ernors aims to become an
independent non-profit in-
QUINCY COLLEGE OFFICIALS David Dennis, chairman of
the Board of Governors, and President M. Sue Harris hope to
gain the college's independence from the city by June 30. Den-
nis, a Norwell resident, told City Council Feb. 17 that the col-
lege can not borrow money, buy property, or even settle union
contracts at this time. ( Quincy Sun Photo/Laura Griffin)
stitution.
The proposed petition
insures "...that no part of
its net earnings or assets
inures to the benefit of any
private individual." If the
college dissolves after in-
dependence, the city would
receive all excess capital.
According to Ward 2
Councillor Daniel Raymon-
di. Quincy College has a
$19.1 million annual budget
and a muUi-million dollar
capital fund.
At this time, all funds for
the college are deposited in
an enterprise fund with the
city and every expenditure,
not matter how small, must
be signed off at City Hall.
Such city oversight
"makes our operation ineffi-
cient, slowing progress and
compromising growth," said
David Dennis, chairman of
the Quincy College Board
of Governors who outlined
the need for independence.
Addressing the council
on Feb. 17, Dennis, a Nor-
well resident, cited major
impediments hindering the
college as a department of
the city.
"Quincy College can not
borrow money for capital
projects, independently set-
tle union contracts, or han-
dle its own finances," Den-
nis said, adding the college
cannot even accept the title
to Saville Hall which the
college purchased in 2007.
Raymondi countered
that the college is a city as-
set, thanks to the taxpayers
who sacrificed in order to
keep the college afloat in its
early years and there's been
no bidding or public process
providing Quincy residents
with compensation, guaran-
tees, and protection.
"The employees are still
going to be public employ-
ees," said Raymondi, adding
that the college's employees
will maintain their city and
state pensions and state
health insurance coverage,
but will not be governed by
the state's ethics laws.
The proposed agreement
states that the independent
college must "comply with
all applicable laws prohib-
iting self-dealing or other-
wise relating to conflicts of
interest."
Raymondi suggested
there are no guarantees in
the agreement that the 'un-
named' corporation taking
over Quincy College could
not relocate, and offer satel-
lite classes.
After the initial meeting
on Feb. 2, Raymondi sought
legal intervention and ad-
vice from the State Inspec-
tor General's office.
City Solicitor James
Timmins said he expects
the Inspector General will
"have something back to us
in early March."
Mayor Thomas Koch
filed the Home Rule Petition
with the City Council on be-
half of the college. The peti-
fion, also, must be approved
by the state legislature and
signed off by the governor.
"It is vital for Quincy
College to become indepen-
dent so that both the school
and the city may better serve
and better compete," said
Dennis after he outlined the
college's contributions to
the city which includes the
employment of over 100
residents and education of
over 1000 students from the
South Shore and all over the
world.
"At least $3 million in
college expenditures go to
Quincy vendors each year,"
said Dennis who, also, cited
the $2.5 million in renova-
tions the college invested in
its leased Newport Avenue
campus.
Dennis pledged that
"Once we are independent,
much of our continued
growth and success will be
reinvested directly back in
the City of Quincy."
However, the separation
petition presented to the
council pledges the col-
lege's 'best efforts' to re-
main in Quincy.
Section 13 states, "The
board of trustees of New
Quincy College shall make
best efforts to maintain the
main campus of New Quin-
cy College, including pri-
mary administrative offices,
within the city of Quincy."
The agreement, also,
states that the independent
college will serve the "south
shore (sic) of Massachusetts,
among others..."
"We have to do our due
diligence," said Raymondi
who asked Timmins if legal
fees of $545 an hour charged

Arbitrator Overturns
Officer's Suspension
A arbitrator has over-
turned the five-day sus-
pension of Police Officer
Joseph McGunigle who
was penalized from writing
too many citations on dogs
owned by his Houghs Neck
neighbors.
The arbitrator ruled that
the way former Police Chief
Robert Crowley conducted
the investigation of the case
in 2fX)7 violated the union
contract resulting in an un-
lawful order.
McGunigle said Tuesday
he had not seen the written
decision but "it's important
that my name be cleared "

Tait called it "a cleanup

The case for consolidating
your mortgage and equity line
into one loan right now
You had a great rate on your mortgage and didn't want to
touch that. But there was something you needed or wanted
money for. And adjustable home equity line rates were
low-low-low. So you took one out. Now that line keeps
adjusting up-up-up. You're feeling the squeeze and suffering
with the squeeze. You are not alone. If you're worrying
about where rates are going next and simply want
to have the same mortgage payment every single
month, consider consolidating your original mortgage
and that home equity line into one new, locked-in
fixed-rate 30-year loan while those rates are still
near historic lows. Come see us and we'll help you figure
out if consolidating is right for you. Or call Richard Coleman
or Angela Blanchard at 617-471-0750.

THE HISTORY CHANM
• On March 2, 1807, the
U.S. Congress passes an act
to "prohibit the importation
of slaves into any port or
place within the jurisdiction
of the United States ... from
any foreign kmgdom, place
or country." Great Britain
also banned the African
slave trade in 1807.
• On March 7, 1876, 29-
year-old Alexander Graham
Bell receives a patent for his
revolutionary new invention
— the telephone. Three days
after filing the patent, the
telephone carried its first
intelligible message — the
famous "Mr Watson, come
here, I need you" — from
Bell to his assistant.
• On March 3, 1887, Anne
Sullivan begins teaching 6-
year-old Helen Keller, who
lost her sight and hearing
after a severe illness at the
age of 19 months. Under
Sullivan's tutelage, the pre-
viously uncontrollable
Keller flourished, eventually
graduating from college and
becoming an international
lecturer and activist.
• On March 8, 1893,
Emmet Dalton, the only sur-
vivor of the Dalton Gang's
disastrous attempt to rob two
Kansas banks, begins serv-
ing a life sentence in the
Kansas State Penitentiary.
After 14 years in prison.
Emmet won parole and
returned to society a
reformed man. He finally
married and began a success-
ful career as a real-estate
agent.
• On March 4, 1933, at the
height of the Great Depres-
sion, Franklin Delano Roo-
sevelt is inaugurated as the
32nd president of the United
States. In his famous inau-
gural address, Roosevelt
outlined his "New Deal" and
told Americans that "the
only thing we have to fear is
fear itself."
• On March 5, 1966, a jet
breaks apart in mid-air and
plummets into Japan's
Mount Fuji. All 124 people
on board the aircraft were
killed. The plane's pilot
apparently flew close to the
mountain in order to give the
passengers a better view, and
severe turbulence literally
blew the plane apart.
• On March 6, 1986, Geor-
gia O'Keefe, the artist who
gained worldwide fame for
her austere minimalist paint-
ings of the American south-
west, dies in Santa Fe, N.M.,
at the age of 98. O'Keefc's
paintings of cow skulls and
calla lilies gained particular
attention and won her an
enthusiastic audience.

More Fond Memories Of Henry
HENRY
Henry, frankly, would be embarrassed by it all.
Gratefully touched, too.
While it's been a month since Quincy Sun Publisher
Henry Bosworth passed away, the condolences, tributes and
stories about my father's impact on people's lives continue
to stream into the Sun office.
We've been getting e-mails, cards, letters and visits to the
office from folks from throughout the city and beyond who
were shocked and saddened by his death. I've been stopped
on the street by well-wishers
who have wonderful memories
about Henry, too.
Every single word we read
and hear gives comfort to all
his loved ones.
I want to share with our
readers some of those heart-felt
thoughts below:
Jonathan Burak, former
Quincy Sun photographer:
"Henry was one of the finest
persons I have ever known. His
commitment to journalistic integrity, getting the best story
- the body of work he produced will always be a key to un-
derstanding the history of Quincy during his time.
"Henry was always supportive of my photography, was
generous and forthcoming with ideas fc- my career, and in-
troduced me to persons who would be my clients for years.
He made The Quincy Sun such that I felt honored whenever
my pictures were displayed in the front window.
"Henry always wanted me to succeed. Although 1 gave
up photography as a profession a long time ago, Henry Bos-
worth was a lot of the reason 1 was good at it. Henry always
inspired those who worked for him to give their best; he was
not a man one would ever want to disappoint.
"Henry Bosworth had an extraordinary life and a won-
derful family, many people loved him, and he was extreme-
ly well-liked and respected by all who knew him. He made
an indelible mark on the history of Quincy and will always
be remembered as a great man and a master joumalist."
Ward 5 Councillor Doug Gutro:
"1 am deeply saddened by the passing of your father. The
news touched me in a way that 1 only experienced during
the passing of my own father a year ago. While 1 got to
know Henry during the past decade, little did he know that
his life's work shaped my worid and defined the city 1 grew
to love.
"During my time on the council, Henry was kind, honest
and fair. Today, The Quincy Sun remains our most antici-
pated and enjoyable piece of mail each week.
"While a preplanned business trip precluded me from
extending my personal condolences to your family, my
thoughts and prayers remained firmly in Quincy. When my
plane landed late and 1 arrived to a darkened city, 1 thought
of Henry Bosworth and felt as if 1 were returning to a dif-
ferent city. While I know The Quincy Sun will still shine
brightly, 1 feel as if Quincy has marked the close of another
golden era in its history. An era where Quincy's story was
not only fully and fairly told, but as importantly cherished
under the watchful and adoring eye of its decent and honor-
able disciple: Henry Bosworth. Godspeed."
Ron Delia Chiesa, nephew of former mayor Amelio
Delia Chiesa, and radio host of WPLM 99.1 in Plymouth:
"1 was saddened to hear of the passing of one of Quincy's
great legends. Not only was Henry Bosworth a wonderful
man loved by all who knew him but a dear friend.
"1 will always remember our casual conversations on
the phone or when I'd drop by to visit him at the Quincy
Sun's office. We talked about other Quincy legends like
Ruth Gordon, Lee Remick and Billy DeWolfe. He would
always comment on the music he loved and I'd always be
sure to dedicate something by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett,
or Glenn Miller to him on my radio show.
"He had an impeccable memory when it came to history
and it was always a joy to hear him reminisce about places
long gone like the Alhambra Tea Room, Paul Mayo's bar-
bershop, or the grand old movie houses like the Strand, Ad-
ams, and Capitol.
"One of his favorite stories was about my late uncle
Amelio, one of the city's former mayors. Henry told me he
woiild go around city hall making sure all the lights were off
at night to save the city money before going home.
"His founding of the Sun and his love of the city assures
his place as another great Quincy legend that has passed
on.
"As the song goes, Thanks for the Memories. Henry . . .
We'll miss you!"
Bill Arienti, Quincy firefighter:
"As a newsman, the greatest praise 1 can give your father
is that he was fair and honest. In a city steeped in political
rhetoric and dealings that is Quincy, your father maintained
a professional distance from the fray to observe and report
the news in an impartial manner. He never took sides, but
instead offered the facts, un-opinionated, and allowed the
readers to judge the situation for themselves.
''The Quincy Sun never had an agenda to promote, but
rather an idea to which it aspired. . . . The reporters he hired
over the years are better reporters today because of Henry's
tutelage as well as his ethical commitment to journalism. .
. I hope you pick up his heavy torch to continue his legacy
of shining light on the truth and enlightening the readers of
Quincy."
John F. McDonough, George F. Bryan VFW Post:
"Henry Bosworth was what every man tries to be. He
was a gentleman's Gentleman. He enriched our city with
his newspaper and its fair and honest coverage. Henry was
a longtime member of our post and we always welcomed
his support.
"Our World War 11 veterans are passing on at a rapid rate
now, with each passing the country loses a member of the
'Greatest Generation.' May God Bless Henry."
Norma and Martin Finnegan, former Quincy athletic
director and residents of Desert Hot Springs, CA.:
"Just received my Feb. 12 issue of The Quincy Sun.
"What a shock! A great man, a great paper. Fair, honest,
timely, touching at times. A great loss to Quincy. May God
give strength to Bob and the staff to continue."
Dorothy Blythe, Wollaston:
"Quincy has lost its greatest advocate, one who brought
joy to many. His non-judgmental reporting made him a hero
to many of us. He really captured Quincy at it finest. 1 read
it faithfully every week. I'm so glad that the Sun is a family-
run paper because you learned from the best.
"Everyone reads the Sun. What a tribute to your father.
Keep up the good work. It's your father's last gift to Quincy.
Priceless!"
Peggy and Frank Walker, Quincy:
"1 remember Henry when I taught at the Woodward
School and at Quincy Junior College. He was always fair
and balanced as is demonstrated by The Sun."
Donna Teed of Hoi brook, daughter of the late Bemie
Reisberg:
"You and I share paths alike, both our fathers were very
loved, respected, successful men in the city of Quincy. My
father owned Bemie 's Formal Shop in Quincy Center. My
mother Marilyn gave me the Feb. 19th issue of The Quincy
Sun to read, which brought me to my this letter. I was over-
whelmed with emotions after reading this edition. I, like
hundreds of others, was touched by your dad's life.
"It was so heart-felt to read your expressions of your dad.
We really don't know one another though I felt a common
bond. Our fathers were leaders and we followed. May this
letter bring you strength and much success."
Annie Murphy, Rockland:
"We lived across from each other m Quincy Point. How
ironic that he went to the Point a week before he passed
away. I never realized the many commitments he had. I'm
amazed and feel privileged that he would take my phone
calls when 1 called. I appreciate the time he took to discuss
with me about the column that he had written about. I'm go-
ing to miss talking to him. I hope you will run his Sunbeam
stories every so often.
"Everyone who knew Henry has lost a good friend. But
your loss is greater. You have lost a husband, father, grand-
father, great-grandfather and best friend."
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send a
personal note about Henry. We know there are many others
and we appreciate every single one.
With the help and support of true friends like those men-
tioned above, and many others like them, Henry's legacy
will continue to live on with each issue of The Quincy Sun.
The newspaper, community and his family won't be the
same. But we cherish what Henry left us: fond memories
and touching stories to last a lifetime.

The Public Has A Right To Know Salary Facts, Too
Regarding a recent ar-
ticle in a major South Shore
newspaper that hsted em-
ployees salaries for the
City of Quincy that were in
excess of $1(K).0(K) for the
year 20()8, 1 feel the need to
set the record straight with
regards to the poor reporting
that was displayed.
The first thing that came
to mind as I was reading the
article was that it made no
attempt to compare these
figures to any other com-
munity of similar size. Two,
that it did not breakdown the
figures. And three, there was
also no mention of rank or
position in the organization.
Without this compari-
son or breakdown of the
compensation, these figures
mean very little. Many of
these total salary figures
were the result of individu-
als getting retroactive pay,
compensation pay for pri-
vately paid details, legal
settlements and/or overtime.
Much of which will not be
included in their pension,
which, by the way, employ-
ees contribute up to 1 1 % of
their salary to fund.
After 31 years on the
Quincy Fire Department, I
have found that most public
employees are dedicated and
motivated. I can only speak
for myself, but I know that

to be promoted on QFD re-
quires many hours of study.
We as a group (QFD) con-
sistently score among the
highest statewide on civil
service promotional exams.
This is due to the fact that
our compensation is better
than many other fire de-
partments in the state. This
results in more motivated,
dedicated, and competent
employees, which benefits
the employee and the citi-
zens of Quincy.
Our unicin is constantly
working to maintain and/or
improve working conditions
that benefit both the workers
and the citizens of Quincy.
We are active in the commu-
nity, supporting youth spt)rts
teams, working with local
politicians, attending public
meetings, raising money for
MDA, providing Christmas
gifts for less privileged kids
and supporting local busi-
nesses. All of which is done
on our own time and at our
expense.
We continually train
and become more educated
throughout our careers to
develop and maintain skills
and knowledge to help us to
perform at the highest level
pt>ssible Most of which is
done while on duty. Howev-
er, many of us earn college
credits and or degrees and
attend training sessions, and
seminars while off duty at
our own expense, for these
reast)ns I consider us to be
professionals and feci that
our compensation is justi-
fied.
Hvery time a firefighter
or police officer is seriously
injured or killed, all we hear
from the media is the word
"hero." However, that usu-
ally doesn't last too long.
As soon as a couple ot bad
apples or some volunteer
firefighter gets caught doing
something wrong or there
is a financial crisis, we now
become overcompensated.
lazy, and not deserving of
our pensions. I feel we are
never heroes. We are just

Walking Tour At Crane Library
Ann Marie's And Jennifer's Easy Entrees
Today's recipes are from my daughter Ann
Marie and my granddaughter Jennifer.
They are both short recipes, but both deli-
cious and easy.
The first one is an Alfredo Tortellini
You can either purchase Alfredo white
sauce or make it as follows:
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 pint heavy cream (half and half can
be substituted)
1 large jar of roasted red peppers
1 pound tortellini
Melt the butter and add the cheese. Mix
and then add the cream.
Place the peppers in a food processor or
blender, and then mix to the Alfredo sauce.
Cook the tortellini according to directions.
with smoked shoulder or corned beef. It takes
half the time. It can either be made with a
chicken, beef stock or a ham bouillon that
can be purchased in the supermarket.
Easy boiled dinner
1 large onion (cut in half)
1 head cabbage (cut up)
2 large carrots (cut in pieces)
3 medium sized potatoes (peeled and cut
in quarters))
3 sweet potatoes (peeled and cut also in
quarters
1 turnip (peeled and cut)
2 large ham slices (cut in pieces)
1 large carton of stock (or water flavored
with a favorite bouillon)
In about six quarts of either water or a
stock, place all the vegetables and cook
and then pour sauce over with extra grated covered until vegetables are tender. Cut the
cheese on top. It is a truly different flavor. ham slices in pieces and add the to mix. Cook
Jennifer's recipe is for an easy boiled din- until ham is done. Serve hot with com bread
ner, but equally as tasty as if it were made or crusty French bread.

Celebrate Women's His-
tory Month with a dramatic
presentation about aviation
pioneer Amelia Earhart,
followed by a walking tour
of her Quincy haunts.
Historic re-enactor Jessa
Piaia will present a free
one-person interpretation
of Amelia Earhart Tuesday,
March 10 at 7 p.m. at the
Thomas Crane Public Li-
brary, 40 Washington St.,
Quincy.
The walking tour will be
held Saturday, March 14 at
10a.m.
"Meet Amelia Earhart:
First Lady of the Air" is set
in 1936, when Earhart was
a popular speaker on the
national circuit and prepar-
ing for take-off for her 1937
around-the-world flight from
which she never returned.
Inspired at an early age
by the suffragist movement,
Earhart identified with the
generation of "the new wom-
an" who had won the right
to vote in 1920. Acclaimed
as the first woman to fly solo
across the Atlantic in 1932,
she was previously part of
the 1928 "Friendship" flight
departing from East Boston
Harbor on its historic trans-
Atlantic flight.
At the time of the
"Friendship" flight, Amelia
JESSA PIAIA as aviation pio-
neer Amelia Earhart.
was living in Medford, while
working a social worker at
the Denison House in down-
town Boston, and helping to
design an airplane hangar
at the Denison Airfield in
Squantum.
Clad in basic aviator
gear and bearing a striking
resemblance to the subject
of her character portrayal,
Jessa Piaia uses drama to
reveal the accomplishments,
struggles, and contributions
of women to American his-
tory.
For more information
about the presentation, call
617-376-1301.
On Saturday. March 14 at
10:00 a.m. (rain date March
21), join a free walking tour
of the area where Amelia
Earhart and Harriet Quim-
by, another aviation pioneer,
flew in Squantum.
Led by Sandy Johnson,
the tour will explore Squan-
tum Point Park where gran-
ite markers commemorate
Earhart 's and Quimby's
Quincy achievements. Meet
at Squantum Point Park
parking lot. (Take E. Squan-
tum Street towards Squan-
tum. Turn left on to Victory
Rd. at the entrance to Mari-
na Bay. Go straight through
the first rotary. Take the next
left to the end.) For more in-
formation about the walking
tour, or to verify the date in
case of inclement weather,
call 617-472-0799.
The presentation and tour
are sponsored by the Friends
of the Thomas Crane Public

tal Treasures program.

Wollaston Garden Club March 20 At Quincy Elks Hall
Seeks Completion St. Patrick's Day Luncheon To Benefit Flag Day
Of Merrymount Park
Wollaston Garden Club,
( WGC) at its February Board
meeting, initiated a petition
drive to seek support in its
application for funds from
the newly established Com-
munity Preservation Act
(CPA).
CPA was voted in 2006
by a large margin of Quincy
voters to establish funding
resource for projects, such
as historic preservation, af-
fordable housing and open
space. In short, one pres-
ent tax is levied to real-es-
tate taxes for this purpose.
State's CPA matches or
partially matches the local
funds for project applied
and reviewed by Communi-
ty Preservation Committee,
and given a final approval
by the Mayor's Office.
Wollaston Garden Club,
an active organization in-
volved in civic beautitica-
tion. has for a long time been
interested in the completion
of Merrymount Park and its
Adams' Walk and gardens.
Most of this park at Han-
cock and Fenno Streets has
been completed by the City
and the project has received
$50.00() funding in the past
from the DCR Historic
Landscape Preservation Ini-
tiative and funds from the
Quincy Partnership.
The garden club and
many of the citizen petition
signers long to see the proj-
ect finally completed.
"I understand it." said
Jim Cooke, historian and
interpreter of John Quincy
Adams and other significant
figures in United States his-
tory, "This will be the real-
ization (meaning when park
is completed) of a long-held
dream of Charles Francis
Adams, 2"' in conjunction
with a plan developed by his
friend, the great Frederick
Law Olmsted."
"Merrymount Park is
a delightful prospect and
deserves the attention it
will subsequently receive.
I assume the historic sig-
nificance of the area will be
better understood following
this important work," C(X)ke
added.
Wollaston Garden Club,
founded 1927 and member
of Garden Club Federation
of Massachusetts, focuses
its goals on civic beautifica-
tion; education and support
in the areas of conservation
and preservation; and love
of gardening and the study
of landscape design.
in April of 2(M)8. the
garden club and the City
of Quincy rededicated the
Anne Hutchinson Square
with more than one hundred
mterested residents, and
teachers and students from
the area schools present.
This year's Quincy Part-
nership St. Patrick's Day
Lunch on Friday, March 20
will help offset costs of the
Quincy Flag Day Parade and
Celebration, which organiz-
ers say will be the "same
great community event" de-
spite the economic crisis.
"During times like these,
events like our Flag Day
Celebration take on an even
added importance, and the
Partnership wants to do its
part to ensure that it stays
the same great community
event this year," said Part-
nership President Edward
Keohane.
The St. Patrick's Day
event, featuring local politi-
cians skewering each over
a lunch of corned beef and
cabbage, will be held in the
newly renovated Quincy
Hlks Hall on Quarry Street.
Tickets are $50. and can be
purchased at the Mayor's
Office. City Clerk's Office
and at the Adams Inn.

to promote Quincy as a
great place to live, work

ance.

to the college were routine
for such matters.
'The college has the
right to obtain counsel ," said
Timmins who indicated that
$545 an hour charges were
on the high side, but added.
"This is a fairly sophisticat-
ed matter."
Timmins said it was nec-
essary to have all the issues
vetted and agreed that the
Inspector General's staff
could contribute to clearing
the issues.
"It needs a lot of time."
said Councillor John Keenan
who described the proposed
split as "complex, unique."
Keenan said he has long
been an advocate of the col-
lege's independence.
"1 hope we don't get
bogged down in politics,"
said Keenan who set the two
meeting dates.
"I don't view Quincy
College as a street sweeper
(put out to routine public
bid)." said Ward 5 Coun-
cillor Douglas Gutro who
agreed, "1 think the Inspec-
tor General should weigh
in."
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee. also, stated that
a routine bidding process as
in selling the college off for
"30 pieces of silver" to the
highest bidder was not ap-
propriate.
McNamee recommended
that the council consider
a PILOT or Payment in
Lieu of Taxes agreement m
which the private institution
provide services to the city
equal to the institutions tax-
es, or in this case debt.
Paul Phillips, president
of the Quincy Education
Association . called the pro-
posal a "win win for all." at
the Feb. 2 meeting.
Contacted last week.
Phillips said he believes that
New Quincy College would
operate as a quasi -public
institution with an agree-
ment modeled after Boston
Medical Center which was
originally a department of
that city.
As such, the employees
would be represented by the
QEA until they voted other-
wise.
As for Quincy College
employees remaining in the
state retirement plan. Phil-
lips said. "The state retire-
ment pension plan won't
cost the city anything."
Neither will the health
insurance provisions for col-
lege employees, according
to Phillips, "There shouldn't
be any cost to the city for
their staying in the G.I.C.
The college would have to
pay the employer's portion
of the G.I.C"
At this time, Quincy Col-
lege business is conducted
by its Board of Governors
which includes Dennis.
There is currently one
vacancy on the board.
^Are You Okay' Program Rescues
85-Year-OId Quincy Woman
Sheriff Michael Bellotti's
"Are You OK?" program
proved its worth once again
early Tuesday morning, res-
cuing an 85-year-old Quincy
man who was having medi-
cal problems he was unable
to communicate.
When the sheriff's offi-
cer placed the daily well-be-
ing check call to the elderly
man at 6:05 a.m., he noted
that the man seemed barely
able to speak in response to

the question.
The officer quickly called
911 on behalf of the man
and an ambulance soon had
him on the way to Quincy
Medical Center to be evalu-
ated.
"The 'Are You OK?' pro-
gram is designed to make
sure someone is regularly
checking in with elderly
people living alone in case
they have a medical prob-
lem and cannot get help by
themselves," said Bellotti.
"We hope this gentleman
will be fine and we were
glad we were able to get
him medical care when he
needed it."
Each morning, officers
from the program place calls
to check on roughly 280
men and women throughout
Norfolk County who have
signed up for the service.

is looking forward to new
ideas and input.
Gutro's ward includes
Quincy Center. He asked
Heapes how important the
controversial cross-town
roadway or Concourse was
to the planning for the cen-
ter.
Heapes called the Con-
course essential and non-
negotiable, suggesting his
team would not have con-
sidered the project without
Concourse approval.
The Concourse is expect-
ed to divert commuter traffic
from Quincy Center by pro-
viding a four-lane thruway
from Granite Street to South
ern Artery.
Gutro, also, suggested
expanding the project pro-
posal to 50 Adams St. which
will soon be vacated by
South Shore Buick and is on
a direct route to the Adams
National Historical Park.
Finn asked Heapes
whether his firm was com-
mitted to union workers,
noting that Quincy Center
was marking the lOOth anni-
versary of significant labor
unions.
"We have financed (proj-
ects) with union funds,"

his firm always abides by
prevailing wage and labor
agreements. "1 think we're
on board with you on that."
Raymondi asked whether
Heapes had investigated T
air rights available to the
city while Ward 6 Council-
lor Brian McNamee asked
about the moving of the T
station.
Heapes also outlined his
commitment to Town Brook

"Whatever we do will

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
A New Life For Old
Wollaston Theater?
Clothes Dryer Vents. Beware Of Lint
Did you read that article
about the fire fatality in
another community where
they believe the fire started
with dryer lint? We've ad-
dressed that issue here in the
past while its time to look at
it once again. It's become a
frequent cause of residential
fires and in some instances,
fatalities, while it's time to
join in and take an active
role in eliminating hazard-
ous lint conditions.
The article prompted me
to take another look at my
own electric cloths dryer
and the lint situation within
the exhaust hose. 1 suggest
that it's a great rainy Sunday
afternoon project. Today I
confirmed that it's appar-
ently not enough to clean
the lint trap. Today's exami-
nation of the exhaust hose
exposed the fact that lint had
accumulated within the hose
itself. That's been a concern
of mine. I removed it and
found a dime size hole had
formed as well. It formed in
a location out of view of a
visual scan of the hose exte-
rior, which I frequently per-
form. The hole had formed
just at the location where
the hose left the dryer and
formed an angle towards
the outside wall. It stands to
reason then, that the hose at
that angle would be exposed
to the most intense heat.
That intensity created that
hole overtime.
That condition concerned
me where an interruption in
the inner wall can trap and
accumulate lint. It did in
this instance. After removal
of the hose, and the pur-
chase of a new aluminum
hose for $10, 1 replaced the
entire length. The replace-
ment brought me a sense of
accomplishment and well
being.
I'll often do a visual from
the outdoors as well where 1
have a grate cover over the
vent on the exterior wall.
The openings on that grate
will fill with lint, which tells
me how much lint escapes
past the lint trap over time.
1 have to remove that grate
four times a year and clean
it. It stands to reason then,
that lint can easily accumu-
late within the hose interior
over time as well.
1 suggest that with busy
family schedules, and the
excessive use of cloths dry-
ers by multiple users, time
taken to thoroughly exam-
ine the lint condition of the
vent hose is time well spent.
I genuinely believe in the
benefit of proactive efforts
at preventing fire Dryer
vent hose examination is a
great place to start. Lint ac-
cumulation has become a
frequent cause of residential
fires while it's something we
can address with some basic
homeowners' skills.
Consequently, please
take an active role in your
own safety and take some-
time to examine your dryer
vent hose. You might con-
sider encouraging manage-
ment within your apartment
and condominium building
to do so as well. Thank you
for doing so.

ty manager and informed her of the theft This particu-
lar property has surveillance cameras, so the\ reviewed
the tapes, saw a suspect in action and then notihed the
Police.
Officer Foley watched the video footage, which
clearly showed the deli verv man walking through
the front entrance and placing two cardboard boxes with
the ■"Staples"' brand label onto a tabic next to the mail-
boxes at 1:23 p.m At 1:45 pm . a man is seen walk-
ing through the lobby from the elevators (indicating the
man was airead) in the building i and walks up to the
boxes.
The suspect picked up both boxes, looked around in
a suspicious manner, and then walked back into the el-
evator. The propertv manager recognized this man as
one of the tenants. Prior to confronting the suspect.

Staples website to identify what they were k)okmg for

ately recognized the man as the suspect m the video-

from the videotape After getting permission to enter the
apartment. Officer Grazioso immediately noticed two
cardboard boxes w ith the "Staples'" logo behind the front
door in plain view. The suspect was asked if he had or-
dered anything in the mail or had retneved any packages
from the lobby on Tuesdav and he responded "no"
The suspect gave the Officers permission t(> look
around the apartment .Moments later, both items were
found. One dnve was located in the bedroom under a
computer, unopened in it's original box and the other
was already being hooked up to the computer The sus-
pect could not produce any receipts for these items and
offered no explanation for how thev ended up in
his apartment.
The suspect, a 57-year-old Quincv resident,
was placed under arrest for "Larcenv over S250'". a fel-

When arranging for a package ti> be delivered, it is
best to create a plan, rather than to just leave it in the
lobby or on the front steps. Some options are to arrange
for a neighbor to accept the package, have it delivered at
your work address, pick it up at the post office or com-
pany's locale or leave a telephone number to be called
when delivery is near.
If there are no other optuins other than to leave the
package at your home, give instructions to put the pack-
age out of view from the street, like a side entrance or
behind a fixture in vi>ur vard

$1 Billion Plan To Revitalize Quincy Center
Cont 'd From Page I
-ment preparation, the city is
poised to create a stunning
future for Quincy Center
through a private and pub-
he partnership, according to
Heapes.
The proposal includes
commercial buildings. a
hotel, a residential develop-
ment of 1,100 units, pos-
sibly a new cinema, one or
two major shopping outlets,
restaurants and sidewalk
cafes all accessed by wider,
pedestnan-friendly side-
walks sporting full-grown
trees from day one .
"We can absolutely guar-
antee that this can happen,"
Heapes said of the proposal
which he and Mayor Thom-
as Koch unveiled Monday
during early morning pre-
views for the media and a
late night presentation for
City Council.
"We're very bullish on
it." said Koch who predicts
"a downtown we can all be
proud of" in place of an area
he descnbed as "tired" and
long overdue for improve-
ment.
"We're not trying to
change Quincy," said Heap-
es, predicting that the proj-
ect will enhance the city's
desirability for residents,
shoppers and businesses .
In fact. Heapes said most
of the existing businesses
and buildings will remain
untouched except for in-
creased value and sales.
"We're not trying to level
all of downtown "
Heapes said his Hrm has
already invested $15 million
in Quincy Center real estate,
another $3 million in archi-
tects and fees, and the team
Under the current plan,
phase one will focus on a
pedestrian-friendly green-
space with trees and land-
scaping called Adams
Green. This will offer visi-
tors and residents an easy
and inviting trek from First
Parish Church to Hancock
Cemetery, the old burial
expects to conclude negotia- ground, and City Hall,
tions on another $ 10 million
in property purchases in the
next few months
"I wouldn't be com-
ing here if we didn't have
enough property controlled,"
said Heapes. "We're abso-
lutely committed."
Quincy 's three major as-
sets, its historic attractions,
its proximity to Boston and
T connection, and its 27
miles of waterfront make
the city an 'incredible lo-
cale," according to Heapes.
New buildings might,
also, house Quincy College,
as well as a new corporate
wellness center and plenty
of accessible street and off-
street parking, according to
Heapes who pointed to set-
asides on the model for the
city's festivals and Farmers'
Market.
"Our parking garages are
not ugly gray boxes." said
Heapes. noting that parking
will be located under new
buildings and street parking
will still be available.
Phase 2 would focus on
"taming Hancock Street,"
according to Heapes whose
proposal includes 20-foot
sidewalks and mature trees
in front of sidewalk cafes,
street-level retail shops,
a commercial building at
Hancock and Granite Street,
and a possible hotel.
In the final phase, de-
velopers would construct
1,100 units of mixed hous-
ing, ranging from high-end
lofts to affordable housing
at the Hancock Parking lot
which would include more
greenspace and varied ar-
chitecture
"This represents over
a billion dollars of private
investment," said Heapes,
noting that another $250
million must be spent on
public infrastructure. "The
infrastructure is old and
needs a lot of work." .

Top Spring Projects For Your Lawn And Garden
(ARA) - With the weath-
er beginning to warm across
the country, many people
are venturing out into their
yards to begin the process
of turning what was once
a winter wonderland into a
lush green escape. The task
might look overwhelming
at first, but with a little help
from the experts, you can
have a fresh-looking lawn
and garden in no time.
According to Lou Man-
fredini. Ace's "Helpful
Hardware Man," there are
three projects that every
homeowner should do to
spruce up your lawn and
Dollars
and $en$e
by David UffingtDn
Refinance
Mortgage at
Lower Rates
With lower interest rates
on home mortgages, it's pos-
sible that refinancing your
loan could save you money
each month. If the prevailing
interest rates are a full per-
centage point below the rate
you currently pay. it might
be in your best interest to
refinance.
The first step is to look at
your credit history. It used to
be that a FICO score of 720
was enough to get you a
good interest rate on a mort-
gage. Now you could need a
score of 740 or higher.
If your FICO score is
good, determine if it's finan-
cially worth your while to
refinance. Go online or con-
sult with a lender to deter-
mine just how much you'd
save each month.
You'll have to hunt for a
lender, and it might be diffi-
cult to get in to see one right
now because of the number
of people refinancing.
You'll pay fees and closing
costs associated with the
loan. Do the math with a
lender to find your best
option and determine how
long it will take to pay off
those fees. If you save $300
every month by refinancing
and the fees are $3,000, it
garden: Prune your shrubs
and trees, grow new grass
and plant brightly colored
flowers. "The best part
about these projects," says
Manfredini "is that anyone
can do them, and once they
are finished they make a big
difference."
Pruning
Pruning works by cutting
away the excess growth and
dead weight that keeps your
shrubs and trees from filling
out. By trimming this away,
more buds will be able to
show, allowing you to culti-
vate a stronger, more vibrant
plant.
would take you 10 months to
pay them off.
You'll need some equity in
your house. Being upside
down (owing more than the
house is worth) will likely
nix a refinance deal.
You'll need to prove your
income now. Gone are the
days of no-doc loans where
you could put down any fig-
ure you wanted and nobody
would check. Now they
want to know for a fact that
you earn enough to repay the
loan.
Don't be surprised if
you're turned down once or
twice. If you really want to
refinance, keep Iraking.
Two points to consider:
1. Do you plan to stay in
the house long enough to
recoup the closing costs and
make a refinance worth-
while?
2. If you need to move and
sell your house, will there be
a pre-payment penalty that
could cost you thousands of
dollars to retire the loan?
Beware choosing anything
but a fixed-rate loan. Tens of
thousands of homeowners
ran into trouble when their
mortgages reset to a much
higher rate. With a fixed rate
loan, you'll know exactly
what your payments will be
for the life of the loan.

"One thing to remem-
ber is not to over-prune,"
says Manfredini. "Too
much pruning will shock
your plant and could inhibit
growth." To avoid this, hold
out your first two fingers; if
these were stems on a plant
you would never want to cut
below your first knuckle.
As with most home im-
provement projects, it's very
important to have the right
tools on hand. Certain prun-
ers, such as rose pruners, are
made specifically for roses,
while head shears can be
used on most heavy-duty
pruning projects. Make sure
you purchase pruners that
are sturdy enough to do the
job and feel comfortable and
manageable in your hand. If
you already have pruners.
consider having them sharp-
ened at your local hard-
ware store before you begin
working. You'll notice the
difference immediately.
Grow New Grass
After lying dormant for
a few months, your grass
might need a little coaxing
to get it to its pre-winter
state. To prepare your lawn,
thatch it by lightly running
a rake across the top to pick
up any sficks, leaves, debris
or dead grass.
Next you will need to
purchase grass seed that
is indigenous to your area
and that will grow with the
amount of shade your lawn
has. You'll need to purchase
between 2 to 4 pounds of
seed for every 1 ,000 feet
you are planting. Spread the
seed either by hand or with
a mechanical spreader that
you can rent at your local
hardware store, but be sure
to keep it even.
Once your seed is down,
it's a good idea to lay fer-
tilizer and water the entire
lawn. In the weeks and
months to come, be sure
your lawn gets at least 1 or
2 inches of water a week,
either naturally or from a
sprinkler.
Plant Flowers
Flowers can spruce up
any landscape design. Con-
sider adding them around
the base of a tree or on either
side of your walkway.
"Consider purchasing es-
tablished plants rather than
seeds as they are easier to
grow," explains Manfredini.
"And look for bright col-
ored plants like impatiens or
black-eyed Susans."
Before planting, you'll
need to make sure your soil
is prepared. Loosen the soil
in the area where you plan
on planting and add an or-
ganic matter like peat moss
to help give the plant more
nutrients.
Next, dig a small hole,
just deep enough to fit the
roots of your plant and place
the plant inside. Once the
plant is in the hole, fill it in
with dirt and lightly pack it
down. Don't forget to water
and fertilize the plant regu-
larly and you'll have gor-
geous flowers for months to
come.

Do-It- Yourself Kitchen Projects Add Equity
(ARA) - A kitchen is one
of the most used and impor-
tant areas in a home. Even
as home prices across the
country decline, a kitchen
remodel can still add value
to your home.
According to the 2008-
2009 Cost vs. Value Report
(a joint study done by the
National Association of Re-
altors and Remodeling mag-
azine providing national and
regional averages) kitchen
remodels rank just after sid-
ing and window replacement
in return on investment.
A few simple do-it-your-
self projects in your kitchen
can update the space with-
out the expense of hiring
professionals. Plan ahead,
rent the right tools and get
advice in order to complete
your project on budget and
on schedule to enhance the
value of your home.
One way to reduce costs
associated with DI Y projects
is to rent the tools you need
from an American Rental
Association (ARA) member
rental store. Renting gives
you access to all types of
tools, including specialty
tools that may be too ex-

pensive to purchase and too
large to store but are neces-
sary to finish the job suc-
cessfully and professionally.
ARA member rental stores
are also great resources for
expert advice on which tools
you need, how to use them
correctly and safely and
how to best complete your
project.
Here are some DIY proj-
ect ideas to get you started.
Update the flooring
Adding ceramic tile to an
outdated kitchen is a simple
way to increase the value
of your home. Rent a wet
saw to make cutting the tile
easy and the finished prod-
uct look professional. Your
ARA member rental store
can teach you the basics of
using a wet saw, as well as
safety issues and tricks of
the trade. Take advantage of
their expertise to tile like a
pro.
Remove wallpaper
Remove dated and dirty
wallpaper. With the right
tools, such as a steamer, the
paper often just peels off.
This machine is easy to op-
erate and can be rented. It
has a steam tank and a plate
that emits vapor as you hold
it to the wall, which usually
loosens even the stickiest
paper in about two or three
minutes. Once you have re-
moved the wallpaper, choose
a neutral paint color.
Create a pass-through
A pass-through can add
light and openness to your
space. Draw an outline of
the opening on the wall then
remove enough wall mate-
rial to locate any electri-
cal, plumbing or gas lines.
Once it's safe to proceed,
rent a reciprocating saw to
cut through the dry wall,
studs and nails. Renting an
electric drill and nail gun to
rough-in the opening and
add trim creates a profes-
sional, finished look.
Add crown molding
This small detail adds
an aura of luxury to your
kitchen, and with the proper
tools and instruction, it can
be easily done in a weekend.
Rent a compound miter saw
to make the perfect cuts, and
a nail gim to attach the mold-
ing. Ask your ARA member
rental store expert for tips on
cutting the comers correctly
to avoid wasting materials.

member rental store, visit

geographic location and by

ment you are looking to

Budget Home Remodeling: It's All Done With Mirrors
(ARA) - With the hous-
ing crunch keeping more
homeowners in homes
they've outgrown, and the
economy keepmg renova-
tion budgets tight, more ho-
meowners are looking for
smaller home improvement
projects that offer big return
on investment. While many
homeowners may think of
remodeling as heavy con-
struction, it's possible to
make a significant change in
your home with projects that
don't require any big struc-
tural changes.
In the past, if your bath-
room was too small, you
might tear it out, take space
from here and there and
not think twice about turn-
ing it into a huge master
bath suite. The new twist is
that homeowners will try to
make it more livable with
the smaller touches: more
mirrors to add a sense of
"space," new lighting, glass
shower enclosures, and up-
dated fixtures and hardware.
Structurally, it's the same
bathroom, but now it has an
airier feel.
An interior "face-lift"
allows you to use mirrors
or glass to change the look
of your environments rela-
tively inexpensively, and re-
commit to your home, rather
than sell it or simply under-
take a big renovation. Not a
do-it-yourselfer? The hous-
ing slow down also means
good contractors may be
able to take on these smaller
projects that they passed on
previously. Further, these
contractors are more willing
to negotiate a fair price, pro-
viding affordable opportuni-
ties to homeowners.
Mirrors are the leading
tool in changing the way
a room is perceived. Long
seen as a "secret weapon"
of interior designers, mir-
rors can change the look
and feel of a room instantly,
without a lot of effort or ex-
pense. They add light, create
a sense of space and open-
ness, and reflect interesting
views. Mirrors are a simple
way to change the look of
a room and brighten up a
space.
A recent study by a lead-
ing mirror manufacturer in
the United States revealed
that homeowners perceive a
mirror as "cheap art," adding
a focal point to a room that
didn't have one before, at a
cost far more attractive than
a painting or expensively
framed print. This opfion is
creating a new era of interior
design with mirrors. Interior
decorators are discovering
classy new ways to imple-
ment mirrors into the home
environment with dramatic
yet refined results.
"The new sense of de-
sign with mirrors has pro-
vided some groundbreaking
interior aesthetic inside the
home," says Randy Brooks
of Gardner Glass Products.
"New effects with mirror,
including colored mirror,
mirror with acid-etching,
new custom sizes and bev-
eling, etc., provide hom-
eowners with a great design
palette to add pizzazz to the
home while fitting any de-
sign style."
Here are a few designer
secrets for using mirrors or
decorative glass to update
your home:
In the Bath
* A large mirror over a
vanity can open up the space
visually.
* A framed mirror along
with updated towels or hard-
ware can update the space
instantly.
* Glass shower enclo-
sures instead of a shower
curtain make a small bath-
room feel less crowded.
* A mirrored wall can
Simple Tips to ^ Green' Your Yard And Your Pocket
(ARA) - It's never too
early to get a jumpstart on
planning a more beautiful
backyard. Maybe you are
looking forward to inhaling
the perfume of flowers waft-
ing through the air, clipping
buds from your prize-win-
ning rose bushes, or simply
enjoying the beauty of a
lusher, more verdant back-
yard oasis this year.
Here are some tips to help
you to make that dream a re-
ality, in a "greener," more
cost-conscious way:
* Switch over to a push
lawn mower or electric
mower this year. Overall
they're traditionally lower in
price, save you money at the
gas pump and also provide
you with healthy exercise.
* Use a landscape fabric
like Weed-X or Weed Shield
to protect your investment
in expensive perennial and
annual plants. Unlike other
landscape fabrics or simple
black plasfic, these fabrics
are the only products proven
to prevent weed roots from
penetrating the soil from
above, and prevent exist-
ing weeds from growing
up through the fabric. Also,
since these landscape fabrics
help soil retain its moisture,
thereby conserving water,
and eliminate the need for
toxic or harmful chemical
weed killers, you'll save
yourself time, money and
help contribute to conserv-
ing our Earth's resources.
The fabrics are guaranteed
to work for 20 years, reduc-
ing the amount of waste you
create.
* Decorate your yard with
carriage and porch lights,
but install them on an "as
needed basis" with a motion
detector light system. This
way you can still enjoy your
landscaping after dark, but
don't need to worry about
wasted electricity or unnec-
essarily large ufility bills.
* Build or purchase a
rain barrel to capture water
draining from your gutters
and downspouts. These bar-
rels work to provide you
with fresh water for your
plants in between showers,
but also prevent soil runoff
from where the spouts dump
water in your grass.
* If you are dealing with
hungry critters in your yard,
avoid using expensive toxic
chemical pesticides which
can be dangerous for pets
and children. Instead install
a scarecrow device, like
Dalen's Rotating Head Owl
or their Holographic Scare-
tape. These scarecrows ef-
fectively and humanely
deter destructive yard pests
like rabbits, birds, squirrels
and gophers while depend-
ing on wind and sun for
movement, eliminating the
need for electricity or bat-
teries.

Reusing Wood
for Flooring
Q.I've been watching
• some home*
improvement shows on
television lately that advo-
cate "green" building tech-
niques, including reusing
wood from other struc-
tures for a home's wood
flooring, rather than buy-
ing new. What do you
think about this trend, and
how do I go about doing
this? — Larry in Tempe,
Ariz.
A, Recycled wood floor-
• ing is a good trend, in
my opinion, because rather
than chopping down live
trees to supply the hardwood
for your floor, wood from
many types of disused struc-
tures or other sources of sal-
vaged lumber can be
remilled to give it a second
life. There is some conceni
that the current stock of
high-quality salvaged wood
will run out eventually, but
no timetable has been given
for that.
Recycled hardwood is
often of better quality than
new hardwoods. It's been
curing for many years,
resulting in a tighter grain
and more stability. Also,
much of the current stock of
recycled wood originally
came from old-growth
forests, most of which either
no longer exist or are pro-
tected, and so you're getting
high-quality denseness and
stability that most new
woods can't match.
One thing it is not, howev-
er, is cheap. Recycled hard-
wood costs much more than
new (Toolbase Services esti-
mates that it runs about
$5.75 to $1 1 per square foot,
while new oak flooring runs
about $3 per square foot).
Recycled wood also must be
installed by a professional.
Despite the cost, recycled
wood tends to be beautiful
and durable and a nice con-
versation piece at parties. If
you're interested in having it
installed, many flooring
contractors are able to pro-
cure and install recycled
wood. You should check
with more than one conu^ac-
tor, though, get estimates,
and ideally work with some-
one who specializes in recy-
cled wood-flooring installa-
tion.

Quincy Finishes Second
In Cranberry Tournament
The Quincy Mite "B"

nament in Pembroke over

ed an assist, while Daniel

ed with two unanswered tal-
lies later in the frame to take

ond period.

pressure defense that de-
nied the Raiders the ability
to use their patented strong
inside game (rebounding,
post-play) and taking away
scoring options not name
Siobhan Camell (27 points),
Newton North ran away with
the contest in the third quar-
ter, pushing what had been
an 1 8- 1 8 game at halftime to
double-digit advantage en-
tering the final eight minutes
of play. Last year, with many
of the same players. North
made it all the way into the
South Sectional semifinals.
There had been hope that it
could occur again, but it was
not to be.
"In the third quarter they
found open corners and hit
some huge three-pointers,"
said NQ head coach Michael
Jorgenson. "Aside from that
quarter, we played them
close, but we did not have
enough to make a late-game
run. The first half was a de-
fensive battle (both teams
scored two points each in
the second) and we were in
it. Newton is a strong team.
We got some good looks, but
the shots were not falling.
"We had high expecta-
tions heading into the tour-
nament, but the poi>l season
is a different beast. Newton
did a nice job shutting down
our offense and we just
couldn't get back into the
game at the end.
"It was a disappointing
end to a very successful sea-
son."
Next year's team will
have a different look. The
Raiders will graduate eight
seniors off the team, in-
cluding several starters and
key contributors. Players
who wrapped up their high
school careers against New-
ton North included Siobhan
Camell (1,000-point scorer,
Patriot League all-star),
Catherine O'Connell and
Kathleen Lynch (league all-
stars), Molly Clifford, Amy
Carchedi , Kristina Anderson
and Jessie Howlett.
This senior class finished
the last two seasons with
a combined 30-11 record,
with two division titles in
two separate leagues (Atlan-
tic Coast, Patriot).
"This (class) had played
with some great players and
they learned from them,"
added Jorgenson. "They
leave being very successful
as a group. Their mark on
the younger players should
be a big plus for us next
year. You want your seniors,
when they leave, to have
made a mark on your pro-
gram and they did that.
"They will be missed
moving forward."

Jeff Pereira Advances to NE Championships
Quincy-NQ Track Excels
At Dl Championships
Members of the boys and
girls' combined Quincy-
North Quincy winter indoor
track team made waves
at the Division 1 Champi-
onships and the All-State
Championships, both held
recently at the Reggie Lewis
Track Center in Boston.
The biggest star was Jeff
Pereira.
Jeff Pereira placed sev-
enth in the long jump event
with a jump of 20'09.75-
feet. Pereira's accomplish-
ment earned him an invita-
tion to the All-States. The
top-five from the four divi-
sions (1,23 & 4), plus the
next four best from all the
divisions advance to the
All-States. Pereira was of-
ficially the 12^^ best in the
state.
At All-States, Pereira
leaped a personal best
21 '05", good enough for
fifth overall and a mark
that has qualified him for
the New England States
Championships, which will
be held Friday night at the
Reggie Lewis Center.
"Jeff was pumped for this
meet (All-States), but he
had a plan and concentrated
on it all week," said Q-NQ
head coach Geoff Hennesy,
who was quick to give credit
to others for the successful
outcome. "He got some help
from Tommy Campbell, the
O' Bryant coach and former
All-American from the Uni-
versity of Rhode Island, and
Q-NQ assistant coach Jim
Finn. They were instrumen-
tal in setting the table for
this night. We are all proud
of Jeff.
"(Jeff) is mulling over
several offers from colleg-
es. Confronted with having
to run back and forth from
the hurdles to the long jump
and just coming off a mild
leg injury, Jeff made a deci-
sion to forego the hurdles to
concentrate on the jumping.
"He rolled the dice and
came out a winner," Hen-
nesy added. "We backed his
decision, we weren't in it
for the points, we wanted to
maximize his performance
and to improve from 12"' to
fifth is quite an accomplish-
ment."
Other Q-NQ runners
standing out at the Dl
Championships included
Matt McGroarty, who ran a
4:40.6 mile, which was his
best time ever and was good
enough for tenth place in
the event.
On the girls' side, Alyssa
Mullen broke the 12 minute-
mark in the two-mile, plac-
ing eighth and just missing
the cut-off for All-States by
two spots. Erica Brady ran a
5:31 in the mile to come in
tenth overall and Jess Davis
competed in the two-mile
event.

HEALTH and FITNESS
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
(ARA) - With the econ-
omy taking a nose dive.
Americans are cutting back
on spending -- from food
and travel to even medical
treatments. Both health care
and dental care are taking
a back seat to more urgent
needs.
According to a recent
survey by Cigna, a leading
provider of health benefits,
41 percent of Americans are
taking worse care of their
health because of the econ-
omy. In fact, nearly half of
Americans report that some-
one in their household has
skipped necessary health
care in the past year due to
the cost, according to a re-
cent Kaiser Foundation Poll.
A recent study published in
"Health Services Research"
found that an increase in un-
employment may be associ-
ated with fewer preventive
care visits.
Even though times are
tough, it is still important to

Kam Man Food and QMC
are collaborating on a num-

commitment to provide the
highest quality care in the
most compassionate man-

COMPUTER-AIDED CERAMIC RESTORATIONS
While most dental restorations
require more than one visit to the
dentist. CEREC (Chairside Eoo-
nomical Restoration of Esthetic
Ceramics) technology makes tooth
restoration posstole in one visit.
This CAD/CAM technology utilizes
a camera, computer, and milling
machine to fabricate a precise
tooth-colored, single-tooth restora-
tion. CEREC enables the dentist
to create everything from veneers
to full crowns in a single office
visit without impressions or tem-
poraries. TTiis is accomplished by
using a special camera to take a
picture of the damaged tooth, the
image of which is displayed on
a screen. The dentist uses CAD
(Computer Aided Design) technol-
ogy to design a restoration, which
is then mied from a ceramic
material using CAI^ (Computer
Aided Manufacturing) technology.
Could you smle benefit wWi
CEREC reslofalion? We are a
dental pracfce devoted to restoring
and enhancing the natural beauty
of your smile using conservative,
state-of-tlTe-art procedures that
will result in a beautiful, long-lasting
smile! We wish to seA« you in the
most caring, conscientious way
possible. Our staff is committed to
providing you and your toved ones
with excellent dentistry. We are
very proud of ttie quality of dentistry
we provide arxj of the true value of
dental care that we can give to our
community. We are located at 44
Greenleaf Street. For furttier infor-
mation, or to schedule an appoint-
ment please call 617-479^220.
We offer te services of anesthesi-
ology with a fuiy trairied and quali-
fied anesthesiologist. Visit us on
the web at www.quincydentistcom.
PS. The tooth-colored cerarnc
material empkyyed by CEREC
restores teeth to their natural
strength, tieajty, and function
because the material dosely
matches the comfx)sition of nature

(ARA) - Just 19 minutes
out of the 1 ,440 minutes in
a day — that's how much
time the average American
spends relaxing or thinking,
according to the U.S. Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics.
Is 19 minutes of relaxing
"me time" really enough?
Where can people go with-
in their home to escape the
stress that surrounds them?
Personal spaces are becom-
ing increasingly scarce
with extended families and
friends living together under
one roof. As a result, some
people find it more difficult
than ever to create a tranquil
environment where they can
"get away from it all" and
perhaps increase their es-
sential "me" time.
"Relaxation is a signifi-
cant antidote to stress and
potential health problems.
Although ongoing emo-
tional upset around issues
in one's life may not be the
single root cause of an ill-
ness, there is now abundant
evidence to prove that unre-
solved feelings and pressure
can be a major contributor
to bodily distress and most
health-related issues," notes
Dr. Harriet Haberman. prac-
ticing psychotherapist with
over 30 years experience
and author of Emotional
Wisdom: A Compassionate
Guide to the Messages Hid-
den in Your Feelings. "Per-
sonal and global economic
events can easily create
havoc with our health. This
troubling reality emphasizes
the importance of finding a
safe place to allow oneself
to feel nurtured," observes
Haberman.
Quiet relaxation zones
in backyards and bath-
rooms built around a water
theme continue to provide
a highly desired residential
sanctuary. "Stressed out

homeowners seek us out."
says Anthony Pasquarelli of
bath and backyard prt>ducts
company Jacuzzi Brands.
"Americans are looking for
ideas on how to create an
escape from the chaos and
pressure around them. They
want a way to enjoy peace,
comfort and solitude and
warm water hydrotherapy
is the centuries-old solution
they desire."
According to Pasquarelli,
homeowners are choosing
jetted whirlpool bath tubs
or air baths because of the
transformative experience
they deliver. Bathrooms are
viewed as one of the last
truly private spaces in the
home and the one destina-
tion that people can count
on to get away.
The backyard can be a
great place to have a home
spa retreat as well. Zen
gardens and fountains are
popular as are outdoor hot
tubs that can be used all
year long, even during cold
months. Privacy is enhanced
with creafive landscaping
for a discreet hot tub experi-
ence.
Having a backyard hot
tub provides the opportunity
to enjoy hydrotherapy in a
controlled and convenient
environment. Homeowners
gain access to a private space
where they can relax and be
away from the rest of world.
Unlike facilities at hotels or
gyms, body-conscious indi-
viduals don't have to worry
about who will see them
Besides providing some
private relaxation time, hot
tubs deliver many health
benefits. The heat from the
hot tub improves circula-
tion and speeds recovery in
damaged tissue. The buoy-
ancy of the water reduces
pressure on joints and the
spine. Finally, the massage
elements relieve muscle ten-
sion and alleviate stress.
"It's important to in-
crease those 19 minutes of
personal time no matter how
busy your household is,"
confirms Dr. Haberman.

take care of your body, par-
ticularly your oral health.
With 92 percent of adults
ages 20 to 64 experiencing
dental caries - which can
lead to caviUes - in their
permanent teeth at some
point in their lives, proper
oral care routines and pre-
ventive dental care visits are
more essential than ever for
achieving a cleaner, healthi-
er mouth.
New York-based dentist
Dr. Gregg Lituchy advises
"include a fluoride rinse in
your daily oral care routine
to help protect your teeth
against cavities. 1 recom-
mend my patients use an an-
ti-cavity fluoride rin.se that
delivers multiple benefits,
such as Listerine Total Care
Anticavity Mouthwash from
the makers of Listerine An-
tiseptic, a product that has
been trusted for more than
1 (X) years and has more than
50 clinical studies support-
ing its safety and efficacy."
Dr. Lituchy offers four
easy tips to help reduce the
Most Older
People Have
Diverticulosis
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am a 78-year-old female,
active and in good health
— or so I thought. I eat
right and never smoked or
drank alcohol. Yesterday, a
colonoscopy showed severe
diverticulosis. The doctor
prescribed Benefiber, then
left and never returned.
I am stunned. What do I
do now? Will I have this
forever? Am I unhealthy?
How does one develop
diverticulosis? What the
difference between "osis"
and'MtIs"? — S.A.
ANSWER: Your world
i.sn'l collapsing. You're
healthy. You'll have divertic-
ulosis forever. By age 60,
half of the people in North
America have it. By age 80,
two-thirds have it. A diver-
ticulum is a bulge of the
inner colon lining through
the colon's muscular wall to
its outer surface. A diverticu-
lum looks like a small soap
bubble. It's only 1/5 to 2/5
inches (0.5 to 1 cm) in diam-
eter. You can thank our diet
for diverticulosis. We refine
flour and throw away its bran
— the outer coat of grain.
In countries where whole
grains (including the bran)
are commonly used, divertic-
ulosis is a rarity. Bran and
other fiber hold water in undi-
gested food. Without fiber,
the food residue dries and
risk of oral care problems
and maintain a beautiful
smile - without hurting
your wallet:
* Multitask. Rinse your
mouth with an anti-cavity
mouthwash while you're
washing your face.
* Avoid sticky situaUons.
Foods that stick to your
teeth create an environment
for bacteria to thrive, so
the best strategy is to brush
your teeth after meals and
snacks.
* Don't skip your den-
tal check-ups. Visiting your
dental professional at least
twice a year is the best way
to maintain good oral health
and detect problems eariy on
that could cause you more
economic pain in the future.
* Technique matters.
Learn the proper way to
brush and floss. Ask your
dental professional or visit
the American Dental Asso-
ciation Web site, www.ada.
org, which offers education-
al tutorial videos.
Courtesy of ARAcontent
becomes hard. The colon
muscles have to generate a
great deal of force to keep it
moving. That force causes the
colon lining to pop through
the colon wall as a diverticu-
lum. For most, diverticulosis
is a silent condition that
remains silent for life.
For a few, the diverticulum
breaks and causes a local
infection in the colon —
diverticulitis. The pain of a
diverticulitis attack is usually
fell in the lower left corner of
the abdomen, and sometimes
people have fever and chills
along with the pain. The
attack is treated by resting the
tract and by giving antibiotics.
We're supposed to get 30
grams of fiber a day. Fruits
(especially those with edible
skins), many vegetables and
whole-grain products are the
source of dietary fiber. If
people cannot gel enough
fiber in their diet, then com-
mercial products like the
one you're taking fill the
gap. Metaniucil, Perdiem,
Citrucel and Fiberall are
other examples.
The booklet on diverticulo-
sis explains the ins and outs of
this very common disorder

A Thought
When was the last tiine you tod( 'lime off"
to do nothing but think - reflect? Nothing to
do but let the mind roam, sometimes without
coascious direction . . .
There is a story told about a famous pub-
SCOTT DE WARE '**''*'" ^ ^ well-known magazine. One of his
junior editors had swung his office chair around, propped his heels on
the window sill and was gazing out into space. The pubUsher stepped
behind him, placed a hand on his shoulder and said quietly, "Don't let
me disturb you. I just wanted to tell you that the most important thing
you can do is just what you are doing now. Never forget the value of
taking ten minutes out to think."
Ail of us are so pressed these days. Our days are filled with phones,
meetings, chores to be done and respoasibilities to be taken care of.
Our lives are so filled with doing things that too often we give im-
mediate matters a shaUow judgment and future problems little thought
at all.
I'm all for taking a Uttk 'lime off" . . . Maybe we'd aO be farther
ahead if we took time off from getting ahead and gave more time to
thinking ahead.

Governor Outlines Reasons For Proposed 19-Cent Gas Tax During Appearance At Library
Patrick Pitches Transportation Reforms At Visit Here
By ROBERT GOHL
For 90 minutes last
Thursday, Gov. Deval Pat-
rick was the center of atten-
tion at a public information
forum held in the Atrium of
the Thomas Crane Public
Library.
Some 2(X) Quincy resi-
dents and city and state of-
ficials listened as the gov-
ernor discussed reforms to
the state's transportation
program. He also respond-
ed to two dozen questions
from the audience concern-
ing transportation issues, his
proposed 19-cent gas tax,
the condition of the econo-
my and unemployment sta-
tistics.
"We have a profound
backlog in terms of main-
tenance and upkeep of our
roads, bridges and rail sys-
tems," Palnck said. "It is the
result of a decade or more of
neglect. The Transportation
Finance Commission, which
finished its work two years
ago, estimates that a list of
our deferred maintenance
would be about $15 to $19
billion in the next 20 years.
"We have put off deci-
sions for a very long time,"
the governor continued. "It
has affected the quality of
the roads we drive on. Mas-

from a concerned citizen
during his appearance at the
Thomas Crane Public Li-
brary.
sachusetts drivers sp>end
$718 million on car repairs
directly related to the shod-
dy quality of our roads.
"We have service issues
both in terms of quality and
reliability on the T and com-
muter rail. We have revenue
needs from the Big Dig. Four
billion dollars worth of debt
has been stashed away at the
Turnpike and the T which
has placed those agencies in
financial peril. We know we
need reform and we know
we need revenue."
Reform, Gov. Patrick
said, "starts by taking the
six different agencies that
have responsibilities for dif-
ferent pieces of the transpor-
tation network and collaps-
ing them into one."
The governor envisioned
one entity with four divi-
sions: The Highway Di-
vision, a Rail and Transit
Division, an Airport and
Aviation and Port Division
and a Registry of Motor Ve-
hicles Division.
"We would get some sav-
ings from that in terms of
eliminating redunancies and
duplications. We estimate
that we can take 300 posi-
tions out of that combined
organization."
Gov. Patrick also noted
his office is proposing re-
form to the MBTA pension
system. "The proposal has explained the need for a 19-
some health benefit changes cent gas tax and where the
to get some savings and to funds would be used:

ment employees with the
state system."

But: 'I Am Considering A Run, ' Cahill Says
Lottery Plan No Step
To Governor Campaign
By TOM HENSHAW
State Treasurer Tim
Cahill has proposed a new
and radically different way
of attacking the budget
problems that have left the
state with an anticipated
mid-year deficit of some
$500 million.
He wants to license three
slot machine parlors across
the state and lease the State
Lottery in a public/private
relationship that could mean
as much as a billion dollars
upfront and $900 million a
year.
But there are those on
Beacon Hill who see Cahill's
plan as the opening shot
fired in an intra-party con-
test with Gov, Deval Patrick
in the 2010 state Democratic
primary election,
"1 do not plan to run for
governor now," Cahill told
The Quincy Sun in a tele-
phone interview, 'if there is
an open seat, I'm in; if not,

B J.'s Team, City Council Meet March 30
City Council will hold a
public hearing March 30 on
a proposal for a B J.'s Ware-
house outlet at 200 Crown
Colony Drive.
Councillors set the date
after learning that QBJ Land
Development LLC agreed
to drop their claim for an
automatic special permit or
'constructive grant' due to
default.
The developers had pro-
posed a 84,000 square foot
retail center at the site of the
former Patriot Ledger print-
ing plant last August. They,
onginally, planned a No-
vember ground-breaking for
the $20 million project.
However, the project's
been detoured by legal chal-
lenges ever since.
In October, the Planning
Board withheld site plan ap-
proval and legal challenges
followed.
Following the Planning
Board's 2-2 vote, develop-
ers sought relief in Land
Court which, subsequently,
sent the matter back to the
Planning Board
In October. QBJ filed a
parallel application for a
Special Permit from the City
Council. When the council
failed to set a date for a pub-
lic hearing. QBJ claimed the
Special Permit by default
The developers charged
that the City Council failed
to hold a public hearing, as
required, within 60 da\s of
the application
In response to that claim.
City Solicitor James Tim-
mins filed a civil suit in
Dedham Superior Court on
behalf of the city Timmins
challenged the developer's
claim of a "'constructive
grant '■
Timmins told council-
lors .March 2 that QBJ had
agreed to drop its claim of
"constructive grant" or au-
tomatic Special Permit and
will present its plans at the
public hearing

• On March 15, 44 B.C.,
Julius Caesar, the "dictator
for life" of the Roman
Empire, is murdered by his
own senators at a meeting in
a hall next to Pompey's The-
atre. The conspiracy against
Caesar encompassed as
many as 60 noblemen,
including Caesar's own pro-
tege, Marcus Brutus.
•On March 13, 1781, Eng
lish astronomer William
Hershel discovers Uranus,
the seventh planet from the
sun. HerscheKs discovery
was the first to be made by
use of a telescope, which
allowed Herschel to distin-
guish Uranus as a planet, not
a star, as previous
astronomers believed.
• On March 12, 1933,
eight days after his inaugura-
tion, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt gives his first

J^ane.sc civilians were
killed.
• On March 14, 1950, the
Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion institutes the "Ten Most
Wanted Fugitives" list in an

"toughest guys' the FBI
wanted to capture.
• On March 10, 1969,
James Earl Ray pleads guilty
to the assassination of civil-
rights leader Martin Luther

We Could All Use A Little Laughter
FLYNN
SHEA
J
Woiried about your job, the stock market and the
the recession?
Is your retirement account now less than your kid's
weekly allowance?
Why not let a little laughter lift your spirits.
The Quincy Partnership will host its 11th annual
St. Patrick's Day Celebration Friday, March 20 at the
Quincy Lodge of Elks in the newly renovated Tirrell
R(X)m, 254 Quarry St., West Quincy. The traditional
corned beef and cabbage fare will be served; but the
long tables of seated guests will be replaced by round
tables and plenty of space.
The fun and festivities featuring jokes, gags and
assorted banter begin at 11:45 a.m. in the hall which
has been expanded to accommodate about 300 pa-
trons. Tickets are $50 per person and are available at
the Mayor's Office, City Clerk's Office and the Best
Western Adams Inn, 29 Hancock St.
As in past years, local politicians will trade barbs
and topical jokes at one another all for a good cause.
Proceeds from this year's luncheon will help defray
costs of the Quincy Flag Day parade and ceremonies.
Businessman Daniel Flynn and City Clerk Joseph
Shea, both Part-
nership members,
will team up as the
program's emcees.
They will also recre-
ate their "Shea-Zak"
routine which is a
take-off on the "The
Amazing Camac"
Tonight Show skit made famous by Johnny Carson
and Ed McMahon.
"Joe's healthy again and he's looking forward to a
great day for the city," says a smiling Flynn, noting the
city clerk recently returned to work after undergoing
surgery.
This year's luncheon is sure to help anyone escape
the seemingly endless array of doom and gloom finan-
cial headlines.
"(The luncheon) is all in fun," Flynn says. "Pack
your feelings at the door and come in and relax and
we'll have a good laugh. In these times we all need a
time to have a few light moments because the economy
is so challenging. It's good to take a break and laugh
for a while with our friends and neighbors."
Can't miss targets by the would-be jokesters include
the mayor's office carpet and wide-screen television as
well as the West Quincy billboard; those subjects have
generated many news stories since the
last luncheon.
"I'm sure we'll be hearing about
the mayor's carpet and big-screen TV
amongst other things, some of them
national news," Flynn points out.
Mayor Tom Koch knows he'll have
a bulls-eye on his back at the lun-
cheon. But he says he'll be ready to
dish it back.
"I'm looking forward to the event. I'm thick-
skinned and I have plenty of it. I'm looking forward
to the banter with my colleagues in government and
friends in the business and labor communities. I am
sure there won't be any jokes about the TV and the
carpet in my office," the mayor added, tongue planted
firmly in cheek.
Koch, whose late father Richard Koch, Jr., was in-
strumental in running the city's Flag Day parade for
years, knows the event is really for a good cause. "Flag
Day is special to our city, and I am thankful that the
Partnership is stepping to the plate, as it always does.
We are a strong community because of groups like the
BELLOTTI
KOCH
Partnership that tmly care about Quincy.
"I am more than willing to take a few lumps for a
good cause," the mayor adds.
The marque name of this year's scheduled perform-
ers is again the quick-witted Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti. "Mike is usually on his game and
does a very g(X)d job," Flynn says. "He comes prepared
with notes and he engages writers well in advanced but
the funniest stuff he says is no where
near his notes. When he's off-script,
he's absolutely hilarious."
Other well-knowns who will be
featured as part of the entertainment
include Norfolk County Register
of Probate Patrick McDermott who
usually sings an Irish tune, Council-
lor Michael McFarland, and Ward 4
Councillor Jay Davis.
State Treasurer and former city councillor Tim Ca-
hill, another frequent performer at the luncheon, has
been extended an invitation to participate. "Hopefully
he will take advantage of it. He's usually very good
about making an appearance," Flynn adds.
Sen. Michael Morrissey and Norfolk County Dis-
trict Attorney William Keating may also make an ap-
pearance.
Unlike some past St. Patrick's Day luncheons, there
will not be a professional comedian this year.
"We have plenty of material - too much material in
fact - so we don't need a professional this year," Flynn
chuckles.
There is a process in assembling the jokes and other
antics that dominate the day.
"Certain members of the Partnership meet and the
follies of the day are usually left to certain writers,"
Flynn explains. "We allow a lot of people to do their
own presentations. I personally try to involve the na-
tional news as well as some of the state-wide stuff and
not just the same-old Quincy stuff. I like to keep the
afternoon moving along and I think my role has always
been to probably say things that some of the politicians
may be thinking but certainly don't have the courage
to say."
But, in a slightly more serious tone, he adds: "We
try to be respectful and tactful. We're not looking to
hurt anybody. But the reality is the truth is funnier than
anything you could have imagined."
The event has become a rite of spring in Quincy.
"I think a lot of people look forward to it," Flynn
says. "I know personally I do. It's great to get out and
have a little fun . With the changes that have gone on
and thank God the (new Quincy) high school's been
built so we won't hear too many high school jokes.
I do think the (West Quincy) billboard's going to be
something and of course I did save the front page from
the . . ."
Well, that's as far as that joke's going to go.
To hear the rest of it, and many others, plan on at-
tending the Quincy Partnership's St. Patrick Day's
Luncheon.

Scenes From Yesterday
A
Norfolk I>«wn« Prpot
THIS IS A 1919 real photo postcard view of the old
Norfolk Downs railroad depot at the end of Billings
Road. Holmes Street crosses where there appears to be
a line on the road. This entire scene has changed today.
The station was on the Newport Avenue side of the rail-
road tracks and is now the site of a Chipotle Mexican
restaurant. The Pneumatic Scale Company built the
building behind the station on the right when they moved
here from Boston in 1906. That building was replaced
in 1920 with a much larger white building that was in
turn demolished to make room for today's Stop & Shop
supermarket in the 1990s. The building on the left on
the corner of Holmes Street was the Norfolk Theater
and later was the Pay and Take Furniture store until
it was destroyed by a fire in the 1970s. Since then that
space has been a parking lot. To contact Tom Galvin,
e-mail tmgalvin@verizon.net.

BY MARIE D'OLIMPIO
Quincy High School To Present
Award- Winning Musical Oliver!
Two Delicious Polenta Entrees
When I told some of my co-workers that
I was going to put a couple of recipe with
"polenta," they did not know what it was.
Polenta is acorn meal and when cooked it
is similar to grits, so popular down South.
Today's recipes contains one in which I
made a polenta lasagna. and the second one
is from my daughter Ann Mane who made
her entree with eggplant.
EGGPLANT, POLENTA LASAGNA
1 large or two medium sized eggplant
2 -3 cups polenta (cooked)
1 quart tomato sauce
grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
shredded mozzarella
bread crumbs for coating eggplant
1 egg mixed with milk for coating
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the polenta according to instructions
netting two cups or so. Slice eggplant about
1 /4 inch thick. If you prefer, you can peel the
skin off. Place the eggplant in the egg mixture
and then the bread crumbs. Then bake on
a greased cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven
and bake until almost done.
In a slightly greased baking pan, place
some tomato sauce on the bottom, then a
layer of the eggplant, and spread the polenta
over, another 1 ayer of sauce , and both cheeses .
Then follow until top layer is topped with the
two cheeses. Bake covered in a 350 degree
oven for 30-35 minutes and then uncovered
for the last five or ten minutes.
Cut in squares when cooled.
My recipe is a little simpler in that it is made
with a tube polenta that can be purchased at
most supermarkets. It all happened one day
when I didn't know what to make and then
noticed the polenta in the refrigerator, and
decided to try something different. It turned
out to be a family favorite and so simple to
prepare .
POLENTA LASAGNA
1 tube polenta (I used about half of a
tube)
3 cups tomato sauce
shredded mozzarella
grated romano cheese
In a slightly greased baking pan, place
a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Cut
polenta in half inch pieces. Place the polenta
slices over the sauce and then the cheeses,
another layer of sauce and continue until
topped with sauce and cheese Bake uncovered
in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes or
until bubbly.

Cupcake Baking Contest
At Houghs Neck Congregational
By MARIE D'OLIMPIO
When I was asked to be
a judge at a cupcake bak-
ing contest, I was pleased
because I enjoy cupcakes,
especially chocolate.
When I arrived at the
Houghs Neck Congrega-
tional Church, I was warmly
greeted by Gail MacKay,
chairman of programs for
the Mother's Club, who had
called me to ask to be a judge
and other club members.
Sharing the judgmg with
me was Jennifer Logue and
Wendy Connor.
MacKay said this is the
second contest held at the
church, the first one was an
essay contest held recently
on "'What 1 Like About Liv-
ing m Houghs Neck." She
said the contest was done
for "something different to
do for the neighborhood."
On a bnght colored table,
there were dozens of beau-
tifully decorated cupcakes.
The ones that we were to
judge were numbered. So
the other judges and 1 went

Kiwanis Presents $900
To Snug Harbor School
The Kiwanis Club of
Quincy recently held a Bow-
lathon at Olindy's to benefit
the Terrific Kids program.
Students, principals,

participated in the lively,
fun-filled activity.
The Terrific (Terrific,
Enthusiastic, Respectful,
Responsible. Inclusive,
Friendly, Inquisitive, Capa-
ble) Kid's Program is a stu-
dent recognition program
that promotes character de-
velopment, self esteem and
perseverance in youngsters.
Students work with
teachers and counselors to
establish goals to improve
behavior, peer relation-
ships, attendance and school
work. Throughout the year
students, who achieve their
goals, are recognized as
Terrific Kids.
Quincy Kiwanis helps to
financially support the Ter-
rific Kids program at Snug
Harbor School. The club
presented a check for $900
from funds raised at the
bowlathon.
This Terrific Kids pro-
gram provides a tool to re-
ward students for special
achievements that may oth-
erwise go unnoticed.

Patrol Officers Accept
One- Year Wage Freeze
Quincy Police officers
voted overwhelmingly to ac-
cept a one-year wage freeze,
becoming the fourth union
to accept Mayor Thomas
Koch's request aimed at
easing budget cuts and pre-
serving jobs amid the fiscal
crisis facing the city.
The Quincy Police Patrol
Officers' Association, with
about a 150 members, voted
strongly in favor of Koch's
proposal, Monday, which
calls for extending the cur-
rent contract and deferring
negotiated raises for a year.
Bruce Fait, president of the
QPPOA, declined to dis-
close the exact tally of the
vote, citing privacy reasons.
But he said the margin was
"overwhelming."
"Our officers sent an
overwhelming message
with this vote that they care
about this city, the safety of
Its residents and their fel-
low officers on the job." Tait
said. "This agreement will
keep patrol officers on the
street where they belong.
and that is always our fore-
most priority."
Officers join firefighters.
City Hall employees and
school crossing guards in
a group that have strongly
endorsed the wage freeze to
date. The savings entering
the fiscal year that begins in
July are now approaching
$1 million. If all 2,400-city
employees agree to the wage
freeze, that number will top
$5 million.
"I am proud and grateful
that our officers have shown,
as they do every day on the
job, a willingness to make
sacrifices for the city and its
residents," Koch said. "Ihis
wage freeze, as well as the
others \ve have negotiated
to date, shows what happens
when everyone is at the table
working together in the best
interest of the city. Our work
is far from done, but we will
keep at it."
The mayor has held
open meetings with almost
every city union to date to
formally make his request
and answer questions from
workers Talks are ongoing
with the remaining unions,
including Quincy public
school teachers, and Koch
said he is "Hopeful" that all
unions will join together and
recognize the senousness of
the situation the city faces
"We will be facing bud-
get cuts with or without
the wage freeze, there is no
getting around that," Koch
said. "But this will undoubt-
edly make a substantial dif-
ference in job reduction and
service cuts. We are actively
pursuing every option to
protect the cit) *s future, and
this IS a critical piece this
year."
The administration
IS current!) writing the
FY2(X)9 budget, which will
include a total of $6.8 mil-
lion in state aid cuts over
this year's original budget
and declining revenue from
other sources. KeK'h said he
expects to have the budget
in front of the City Council
in April.

Key Link For Faxon Park On Preservation List
Faxon Park could tie or
surpass Merr> mount Park as
the largest open space area
in the cit\ it" the Community
Preservation Committee
votes to purchase a 2.9 acre
lot on the park's border.
Ihe lot would link the
57-acre Faxon Park to the
13-acre Avalon Estates par-
cel and adjoining open space
of some 15-acres.
According to Kristen
Powers, director of Parks,
Forestry and Cemetery,
Merrymount Park is cur-
rently listed at 80 acres and
Faxon Park at 57 acres.
Powers said that the 28
to 30 acres of adjacent open
space have not been official-
ly added to Faxon Park.
In order to join the abut-
ting properties to Faxon
Park. Ward 2 Council-
lor Daniel Raymondi has
sought the rezoning of the
privateK -owned 2.9 acres.
Raymondi also wants
the Community Preserva-
tion Committee (CPC) to
purchase the small parcel as
he describes the property as
the major link joining Faxon
Park to the adjoining open
space areas.
Raymondi, also, consid-
ers the lot critical to long-
term planning for Faxon
Park and recently made
unsuccessful efforts to have
the parcel rezoned to open
space.
"The highest and best use
of this (property) is open
space," Raymondi said last
week, adding that the coun-
cil made a "mistake in not
moving (the rezoning) for-
ward.
The 2.9 acre lot is listed
on Circuit Street and is
owned by the Bates Trust.
According to Raymondi,
the 2.9-acre lot is land-
locked with no public road-
ways or access.
Jim Barrett, CPA, who
is working on behalf of the
Bates Trust, said that he re-
cently filed the necessary
application for community
preservation in City Hall.
"We're looking forward
to it," Barrett said of the po-
tential impact of the small
lot on Faxon Park. "We're
excited about it, too."
Barrett said that the own-
ers of the Bates Trust were
pleased with the prospect
of their land expanding the
Faxon Park access, "They
know what's going on."
"The area is so wonder-
fiil," Raymondi said, call-
ing Faxon Park "one of the
nicest parks in the City of
Quincy."
Raymondi said some 50
to 60 persons turned out
recently to form Friends of
Faxon Park and they are all
eager to improve the park
which, he said, needs a mas-
ter plan.
The newK formed
Friends of Faxon Park
would score a major victory
if the city purchases Bates
property and could be a cat-
alyst for added attention to
the park.
At this time, much of
Faxon Park is poorly marked
and in need of an upgrade.
A small non-descript sign
marks the main entrance
from the heavily trafficked
Faxon Park Road.
Faxon Park does offer
a tidy playground, tennis
courts, a few walking trails
along ancient stonewalls,
and a view from its crown
that stretches beyond a con-
dominium development to
the ocean.
"It would create a cir-
cular route into the greater
Faxon Park area," said Ray-
mondi of the Circuit Road
lot which he considers the
"critical link" for Faxon
Park.
The 13-acre "Avalon"
open space abutting Faxon
Park was purchased for $3.3
million in 2007 under the
city's Community Preserva-
tion (CPA) program.
An adjoining parcel of
approximately 15 acres was
purchased in the 1990's by
the city as a potential loca-
tion for a new high school.
Community Preserva-
tion purchases are financed
by state funds and the city's
motel and hotel tax.
The funds must be used
for open space, historic
preservation and affordable
housing.
Councillors recently re-
jected Raymondi's rezoning
request after determining
that the property owners
have not filed any request
for such a change.
"I applaud the idea of
trying to get as much open
space as possible," said
Councillor John Keenan
who said that rezoning the
lot, without a request from
the owner or owners, was
premature.
On several occasions,
Keenan warned that rezon-
ing the parcel, at this time,
would set a dangerous prec-
edent, pre-empt the own-
ers' rights and smacked of a
land-taking.
The parcel is currently
assessed at over $300,000.
Preservation Funds Dip;
Requests Increase To 30
The nine-member Com-
munity Preservation Com-
mittee (CPC) faces a dip in
funds this year as the state
reduces financial support for
local communities by more
than 50%.
At the same time , the CPC
is experiencing an increase
in applications, according
to Ward 3 City Councillor
Kevin Coughlin.
As of this week, the com-
mittee received some 30 ap-
plications for local projects.
According to Steve
Perdios, Chairman of the
CPC, the committee ex-
pects to have approximately
$500,000 in available funds
for 2009 projects.
Perdios said that lo-
cal funding is expected to
reach $1.1 million with a
35% match from the state
of $385,000. That brings
this year's total CPA fund to
about $1.5 million.
"However, keep in mind
that we are first committed
to pay down the bond we
took two years ago.... I be-
lieve the payment is roughly
$950,000," Perdios said in
an e-mail outlining the fund-
ing estimates. This will be
the second of four payments
on the bond.
The city's preservation
funds are raised through ho-
tel and motel taxes. While
that has remained fairly lev-
el, the state has reduced its
contribution in each of the
past two years.
The state provided a
100% match to municipal
preservation funds from its
inception in 2000 to 2007.
Last year, the state's contri-
bution was cut to 75% of the
local funds.
This year, the state's
match is expected to drop
to 35% because the number
of participating communi-
ties statewide has increased
while the real estate market
is suffering setbacks. The
state funded the program
through fees on real estate
deeds.
Perdios heads the CPC
with Vice-Chairman Kevin
Coughlin and members,
Maureen Mazrimas, Connie
Driscoll, Tony Ricci, Paul
Kodad, John Brennion, John
Menz and P.J. Foley.
Residents Claim Promises Broken On Cliff Walk Plan
More than a dozen resi-
dents urged city councillors
to reject an application for a
96-unit addition to the Cliff-
Walk apartment complex on
Willard Street during a pub-
lic hearing March 2.
The residents charged
they'd been promised that
the Willard Street lot would
not be developed and now
they may face additional
rental units in their neigh-
borhood on that same lot.
The opponents, also, pre-
sented petitions signed by
over 400 persons protesting
the development.
Prior to the residents'
comments, Bryan Connolly,
attorney for Corcoran De-
velopers, oudined the ben-
efits of the proposal, ranging
from an additional $500,000
in taxes to a "quality proj-
ect."
He stated that the one and
two bedroom units would
attract very few children
for school purposes, require
little policing, few city ser-
vices, and have minimal im-
pact on traffic.
Connolly said the plan
had been modified repeat-
edly after neighborhood
meetings from eight stories
to four to five stories and
the number of units reduced
from 168 units to 96 units.
Councillors continued
the public hearing and re-
quested that Traffic Director
Jack Gillon speak at the next
meeting and provide a writ-
ten report. No date was set.
The neighborhood speak-
ers described traffic prob-
lems, conservation issues,
potential flooding and over-
burdened sewage lines.
"It's like a Dead Zone
over there," said one speak-
er, referring to an incom-
plete structure on Willard
Street, halted apparently due
to funding problems.

Cont 'd From Pa^e J
sell them to a private opera-
tor/owner in the form of a
15-20 year concession.
"This plan as outlined,
based on a conservative five
to seven times cash flow
multiple, could generate be-
tween $1.95 and $3.35 bil-
lion upfront for the state.
"In addition to the up-
front payment, the state
would see annual revenue
from these machines of be-
tween $203 to $243 billion.
"The introduction of
VLTs will have an impact
on Lottery revenues.
"In order to solve that
potential future problem, I
suggest that we be open to
the notion of creating a pub-
lic/private partnership for
the Lottery as well.
"What kind of conces
sion could we obtain for the
Lottery?
"Quite possibly a guar-
anteed revenue stream that
would continue to flow to
cities and towns in excess
of $900 million per year as
well as an upfront payment
of as much as $1 billion for
a 50-year concession."
Cahill suggested that a
third of the funding obtained
from the public/private part-
nerships be assigned to the
state's rainy day fund, part
to a fund to pay unfunded
retiree health benefits and
part to an endowment for
higher education.
Retiree health ben-
efits, known as Other Post
Employee Benefits. or
OPEB, represent a potential
$13 billion liability to the
state.
Cahill called that "a debt
that is likely even greater
than that of the Big Dig --
one that could adversely im-
pact our credit rating in the
very near future."
Cahill said his proposal
has met a mixed reaction.
"It depends on who you
talk to," he said. "It could be
a bridge to casinos in five or
ten years."
Residents Claim Promises
Broken On Cliff Walk Plan
Cont'd From Page W
tion Association (NFPA) not
to develop the property.
Eileen Kelly of Wood-
cliff Rd. stated that "NFPA
said they would not further
develop" the property.
Another Woodcliff Rd
resident, Mike Casinelli
called the project "a slap in
the face" and said there are
"too many apartments in
this part of Quincy."
Robert Romeri of Wil-
lard St, along with a number
of residents, repeated details
of a NFPA agreement, "We
met with NFPA." and they
promised, "We will keep the
rest of this area open."
Connolly, a former Ward
4 councillor, stated there are
no agreements to prevent
the development.
However, another former
Ward 4 councillor Michael
D'Amnico informed the
council through a letter that
such "no-build zones" exist,
D"Amico represented
the ward during the original
development.
"I urge the neighbors and
City Council to review all
the previous PUD's relevant
to the NFPA area," wrote
D'Amico.
"You will find significant
buffer zones and no build
zones as part of those per-
mits to protect the abutting
neighbors.
"Local easements... run-
ning through the St. Moritz
condos were closed and
were not to be used for ac-
cess to these or future devel-
opments.
DAmico said the access
would be a breach of the
previous permits and urged
the council to reject the ap-
plication and "honor the
hard work the community
put into having these safe-
guards in place."
The letter concluded
with the statement that both
NFPA and the developer had
promised "their last permit
was their last. . . ."

FIRE SAFETY

Houghs Neck Community Council
Receives Funds For Renovations
Commercial Kitchens
I'm in the office having
just composed a flyer, which
will be given to some of our
restaurants by the health
department dunng their
mspections. Dunng those
inspections, if deficiencies
are discovered in the areas
of the fire department's con-
cern, they will contact us
to assist m gaming compli-
ance. Meanwhile. I'd like to
take this opportunity here,
to focus on the issues desig-
nated within this flyer.
Kitchen hood and duct-
work cleaning is a concern
with us where grease accu-
mulation can pose a serious
fire hazard. Frequently, the
fires we experience within
restaurant kitchens within
this city start as grease fires.
They can easily e.xtend be-
yond the confinement of
the hood if the hood and
ductwork are not frequently
cleaned of grease. A fire
extending beyond this con-
finement can lead to a far

greater loss, and even death
as we recently experienced
in the West Roxbury fire.
Maintenance of the kitch-
en fire suppression system is
of equal importance where
an incipient fire can be easi-
ly contained or extinguished
by these fixed systems be-
fore they extend beyond the
confinement of the hood as
well. Maintenance of these
systems might initially ap-
pear as a financial burden
for owners, while time and
time again we have seen
that neglect and not adher-
ing to the required mainte-
nance schedule can have its
price as well. So let me re-
view some of the applicable
NFPA Standard #96 with
you here.
"Hoods, grease removal
devices, fans, ducts and
other appurtenances shall be
cleaned to bare metal prior
to surfaces becoming heavi-
ly contaminated with grease
and oily sludge.
If found to be contami-
nated with deposits from
grease laden vapors, the
entire exhaust system shall
be cleaned by a properly
trained, qualified and certi-
fied company... Systems
serving high-volume cook-
ing operations shall be
cleaned quarterly; moderate
volume cooking operations
shall be conducted semian-
nually."
As this code applies to
kitchen suppression sys-
tems, for instance an Ansul
System, it states: "An in-
spection and servicing of
the fire-extinguishing sys-
tem... shall be made every 6
months by properly trained
and qualified persons."
These regulations most
probably evolved over time
as a result of actual fire expe-
rience, most code has. These
systems are specifically en-
gineered to contain and sup-
press fire, while they'll only
work effectively if they're
maintained as required. Ex-
tension of fire within some
of our older buildings in
particular, can be avoided
with prudent adherence to
these recommendations. We
hope those of you who ow n
restaurants agree as well.
We encourage you to
maintain these systems as
required while we are here
to answer any questions you
may have to help you main-
tain a safe premise. Thank
you fordoing so.
1 also wish to thank the
members of the health de-
partment for taking the lead
in this collaborative effort
while we are here to support
their efforts in maintaining a
safer community as well.
Houghs Neck Commu-
nity Council (HNCC) has

The building at 1 193 Sea
St., home to the HNCC and
Manet Community Health
Center, was built 30 years
ago. While the community
center has received some
fresh coats of paint through
the years, it is time for some
major updates.
The community room is
a multi-purpose use room
used for many community
groups, activities and for
serving meals to the local
seniors. Through the years
the demands on the com-
munity room have grown
and the space needs to be
reorganized so that it can be
better utilized.
The overall renova-

Library Services May Be Cut
ARTS ON THE SHORE, a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Wollaston Beach last sum-
mer, was funded by a Better Beach Small Grants program. The program will continue this year
through Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and a grant from The Boston Foundation.
Boston Foundation Awards Grants
To Better Beaches Program
The Boston Foundation
will fund the Better Beaches
Small Grants Program an-
nounces Save the Harbor/
Save the Bay.
The grants are designed
to jumpstart public activi-
ties and events on Massa-
chusetts public beaches
from Nahant to Nantasket,
including Wollaston Beach
in Quincy.
Last year, the program
supported Qumcy's "Arts
on the Shore." an event or-
ganized by the Friends of
Wollaston Beach. The event
featured amateur sandcastle
competitions, a sidewalk
chalk festival and art dis-
plays. More than 1 ,500 kids
and adults attended the cel-
ebration which marked the
beach's 1 00th birthday.
Other activities funded
last year included beach-
front concert series, kite
festivals, sandcastle compe-
titions, beachside art shows,
swimming lessons, family
fun nights and reading pro-
grams and neighborhood
beach parties
Organizers hope this
year's grants - which range
from $500 to 5,000 to non-
profit organizations, com-
munity grounds, and less
formal "friends" or neigh-
borhood groups - will create
more dynamic and engaging
series of public programs
and events on public beach-
es in the region.
In addition to the funds,
Save the Harbor/Save the
Bay is also offering techni-
cal and operating assistance
for friends groups looking
for ways to improve their
beach.
Save the Harbor/Save the
Bay will host an application
workshop tonight (Thurs-
day) from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
at their office at 212 North-
em Ave., Suite 304 W, Bos-
ton.
The application pro-
cess will remain open until
March 27 , with funding de-
cisions made by the end of
April.

changes in the expenditures,
the final decisions lie with
the mayor and his depart-
ment heads.
"As the nation and our
state struggle with histori-
cal shortfalls, we are faced
with extraordinary finan-
cial times," Mayor Thomas
Koch said in a message
delivered to the committee
by his Chief of Staff Jim
Fatseas .
Koch pledged to work
closely with the council.
'"We are prepared to make
the difficult decisions to get
through this economy."
Unexpected costs can
kayo even the best budget
plans and this year's snow
and ice costs have now risen
to over $3 million, accord-
ing to Fatseas who said that
deficit will be covered by
Free Cash.
For councillors, dis-
cussions with Welch and
McLaughlin only highlight-
ed the difficult decisions
ahead. Both have miniscule
budgets in comparison to
the large departments on the
upcoming schedule.
Welch's budget is under
$1 million and he outlined
services to well over 1 ,000
city youngsters, including
special needs youngsters,
and senior cifizens. Many of
the recreation programs are
self-supporting, as well.
In addition, Welch said
his department is unique in
that he has only two full-
fime employees and 195
part-time and seasonal staff.
That eliminates overtime
and sick leave.
Welch said the depart-
ment has a "residents only
hiring policy" so that all the
salary funds stay in Quincy.
In addition, all programs are
evaluated and enlarged or
reduced as needed.
No funding can be guar-
anteed as Welch described a
state grant for recreation that
was awarded and withdrawn
due to lack of state funding
twice. The grant was finally
funded.
City Council President
Jay Davis, Ward 4, suggest-
ed that Welch seek addition-
al sponsors for programs.
Welch said he will re-
quest a revolving fund ac-
count which will reduce the
department's budget figure.
The fund will cover several
of the department's self-
supporting program.
"1 think it's the way to
go," said Keenan while
Councillor Michael Mc-
Fariand said the revolving
funds have worked for the
school department's food
service and athletic funds.
McLaughlin outlined
library services that are in
ever-increasing demand. An
average of over 1 ,000 visi-
tors use the library during
Sunday's five hour opening
and nearly 2000 on Satur-
days, outstripping on an
hourly basis the weekday
use.
As for the branches, sta-
tistics show heavy use at
North Quincy and increas-
ing use at Wollaston and Ad-
ams Shore Branch Libraries.
In the six months ending in
December, Adams Shore
registered 10,569 visitors
a week, Wollaston, 9,139
a week and North Quincy,
29,354 a week.
McLaughlin's stafistics
showed significant increases
in every category in the past
12 months which made rec-
ommendations for cuts dif-
ficult for councillors.
The library's current
budget at $2,423,794 for the
Main Lbrary and $394291
for the branches represents
just over one percent of the
total municipal budget.
Even without the recent
surge in use, McLaughlin
presented impressive sta-
tisUcs on the library's pro-
grams in 2008 when the
Main Library registered the
following on a budget of
just over $2.4 million:
838,508 visits
690,409 items borrowed
754 programs that served
19,027 persons
13,608 children and
5,419 adults
52,447 reference ques-
Uons
9044 hours computer use
per week
12,819J>38 website hits
McLaughlin said she
would likely recommend
eliminating Sunday hours if
faced with a major budget
cut but McFarland suggest-
ed she consider closing the
Wollaston and Adams Shore
library branches.
McFarland said the Main
Library actually has more
visitors on Sunday than the
two branches each week.
McLaughlin said the
branches serve residents and
children who can not easily
access the Main Library.
McFarland said closing
on Sundays would be very
upsetting. "We fought so
hard to open seven days a
week."
Ward 6 councillor Brian
McNamee agreed. "We
should consider the bang for
the buck."
McLaughlin said library
fines will be increased from
10 cents to 20 cents per day,
and the library's meeting
room will soon have a user
fee.
The library's overdue
fines, such as last year's
$70,000, are deposited in
the General Fund.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin said the size of
the library's budget pales in
comparison to other budgets
while the library "adds so
much to the cultural value
of our city."
Keenan said he knew it
was difficult for McLaugh-
lin to consider closing
branches or reducing hours,
"You make a great case for
the library."
The Finance Commit-
tee will meet again tonight
(Thursday) with the Police
Department.

Downtown Revitalization Plan
Cont V/ From Pa^e I
"I'm excited," he said.
"It's been a long time com-
ing. It will take an old and
tired city and make it new
and exciting.
"The quality of life will
be improved for all resi-
dents. The appearance will
be improved. It will be more
interesting. It will benefit
everybody.
Jeff Bertman of Rogers
Jewelry, president of
the Quincy Business
Association, was "very,
very excited" about the plan
to enhance the area with of-
fice buildings, housing and
retail shops.
"It's a little early to be
official," he said. "I don't
see any negatives at the mo-
ment but I haven't seen any
specifics. All I've seen is an
artist's vision.
"In the short run while
construction is going on, it
may hurt business. But in
the long run, it will make
business go. it will bring
more people down to the
Square."
Developer Peter
O'Connell saw as encour-
aging the fact that Street-
Works found Quincy m a
position to be selected as the
site for a 10 or 15-year proj-
ect.
"I'm optimistic that there
is that level of interest," he
said. "Times are difficult in
real estate. We need a plan
that we can get behind, one
that balances the public cost
with the public good.
"Street-Works is a good
company. They have a
comprehensive plan. We're
probably looking at an in-
crease in capital spending in
our buildings in the Square.
Financially we will be sup-
porting it."
Michael Flavin of Flavin
& Flavin, the real estate
firm, was another business-
man who descnbed himself
as "very excited" about the
plan that was announced
last week by Mayor Thomas
Koch.
"It was overdue," he
said. "I'm happy it's going
forward. It will bring great
revenue and stores to the
city. Quincy is a great loca-
tion for this.
"There may be some
concern by those impacted
by the construction but in
the long run the results will
be good. More people will
come to the city. More will
be doing business."
Dean Rizzo, executive
director of Quincy 20(X)
Collaborative, called it
"very exciting" to see the
proposal put forth by Street-
Works m collaboration with
the city of Quincy.
"The city has been plan-
ning for redevelopment for a
long time." he said. "Street-
Works has put forward a
very aggressive plan but one
that is the best opportunity
for a long time.
"It's the type of forward
change the city had need-
ed."
Ron Affsa, a commer-
cial property owner who
has operated Hairplace One
since 1972, echoed his ex-
citement, adding, "We've
talked about it for years; I'm
glad we're doing something
now.
"Hopefully, it will be
good for my business.
There'll be more parking,
more foot traffic and a bet-
ter class of people walking
around."

The foot IS designed in such
a way that it rolls and disperses
any shock caused by walking
or running This called prona-
tion. Those who have feet
that roll inward too much are
over-pronators This happens
when the foot continues to roll
when It should be pushing off.
causing excessive movement
of the foot and lower leg This
movement can cause pain to
the foot, shin, and knee When
walking, shoes will tilt inward
when they come into contact
with a flat surface Knock-
knees and flat feet contribute
to over-pronation Under-
pronation is called supination
Under-pronators have feet that
don't roll enough after ground
contact. Extra stretching of
calves, hamstnngs. and quads
will allow for greater flexibility
I am one of only two po-
diatrists in this state who has
completed the advanced train-
ing necessary to offer patients
relief from pronation through

The John h. Kenned)
F^residential Librar) re-
centl) awarded '"JFK Make
a Difterence Awards" to 30
active members ot Broad
Meadows Middle School's
volunteer, after-school ac-
tivism club known as Op-
eration; Day's Work-USA
or ODW for short.
Students in 20 com-
munities were recognized
for service learning proj-
ects. Sixty-seven individual
awards were presented but
30 awards went to the Quin-
cy Broad Meadows Middle
School students.
This is the 10th anni-
versary of Operation Day's
Work whose motto is "Kids
helping global kids to help
themselves." Along with
six other schools nationally,
Broad Meadows students
co-founded ODW ten years
ago.
Thousands of children's
lives on four continents
have been changed for the
better as a result. There are
ten schools nationally with
an ODW chapter. Most are
in New England.
Each year, the ODW
members nationally vote
on a cause in a developing
country and a partner in that
country. The partner designs
a meaningful, sustainable
education or health care
project essential to kids'
health and effective in pre-
venting those children from
becoming child laborers.
The ODW members
raise funds to make the de-
sign come true. Project de-
signs have become: school
programs and/or school
buildings in Ethiopia, Ne-
pal, Bangladesh, Rwanda
and Vietnam; orphanages in
Ethiopia and El Salvador; a
community health center in
Burundi.
This year's ODW project
(JRADE 7 student spokesperson for Operation Day's Work,
Julie Bloomer, addresses the audience during the award cer-
emony explaining this year's project to deliver free education
to 2,000 children in hurricane ravaged Haiti and free health
care for their families for a year.
is to partner with Partners community service proj-
in Health to restore schools
in hurricane ravaged Haiti
making it possible for 2,0(XJ
children to return to school
FREE and to provide FREE
health care to their families.
The goal of ODW is for
each student to have a role
in researching the current
state of the world's children,
nominating causes which
harm children or make chil-
dren more at-risk of becom-
ing child laborers, debating
strengths and weaknesses of
project designs submitted by
reputable non-governmental
organizations, and voting to
fund one of the designs.
Students are then chal-
lenged to design commu-
nity service projects which
will strengthen our city in a
meaningful way. Thus, two
communities benefit from
ODW. Our own community
is improved, and life for
children in community far,
far away is improved.
To raise funds for the an-
nual ODW partnership proj-
ect in a developing country,
students use pledge sheets to
gather sponsors who agree
to pay minimum wage for
an hour or more of "a day's
work" on a student designed
ect such as planting flow-
ers outside the windows of
the Children's Room at the
Fhomas Crane Public Li-
brary, serving meals at se
nior centers, cleaning the
grounds of historic sites,
or volunteering at a local
ft)od pantr). The '"day's
pay" raised from the ""da) 's
work" is then donated to the
annual project. Again, this
year's project is to restore
education to 2, (XX) Haitian
children and free health care
to their families.
It's amazing what youth
can do in a day's work.
In recognition often years
of ODW humanitarian aid
projects, on March 1 . 2(M)9.
the John F. Kennedy Presi-
dential Library bestowed
a JFK Library Make a Dif-
ference Award to each of
the 30 students members of
ODW. The aw ards were pre-
sented on March 1 . because
March 1 is the day that John
F. Kennedy launched The
Peace Corps.

Flooring 101: Selecting The Best
Product For Your Home Style
Dan Flynn Auctions 40 Condos
In Maryland For $10.8 Million
(ARA) - Your home's country. Also keep in mind
flooring does more than pro- the size of the room where
vide you and your family you plan to install the floor-
with a comfortable surface.
It's an e.xtension of your
personal style and taste. It
says something about you
and your home to everyone
who walks in the door.
Selecting the right floor
for your home isn't easy.
Chances are if you've vis-
ited your local flooring re-
tailer, you've found yourself
wandering through a sea of
ing. Tiny tiles will be too
fers to how it feels underfoot .
It also includes its insulation
properties and whether or
not it carries sound. Other
busy in a large room, while products, such as resilient
large-scale products will
overwhelm a smaller space.
While many homeown-
ers immediately gravitate to
such attractive natural ma-
terials as slate, stone, bam-
and laminate floonng, have
been engineered to provide
the best of both worlds.

materials, designs and over-
all durability and function.
The question is: How do
you choose when everything
looks so good?
You need to consider a
few factors, including your
style, budget, where the
flooring will be installed,
traffic flow and performance
concerns.
Cost is often a decid-
ing factor. Set a price range
and begin evaluating the
features of products in that
bracket. If you're not plan-
ning to install the floor your-
self, don't forget to factor in
the installation costs, which
often are in addition to the
square-foot cost.
Fashionable features
Appearance is the first
factor to consider. The floor-
ing you choose should blend
with the style of your home,

porary, Victorian, eclectic or

Budget Home Remodeling:
It's All Done With Mirrors
The Dirt On
Gorgeous Grass
(ARA) - With the hous-
ing crunch keeping more
homeowners in homes
they've outgrown, and the
economy keeping renova-
tion budgets tight, more ho-
meowners are looking for
smaller home improvement
projects that offer big return
on investment. While many
homeowners may think of
remodeling as heavy con-
struction, it's possible to
make a significant change in
your home with projects that
don't require any big struc-
tural changes.
In the past, if your bath-
room was too small, you
might tear it out, take space
from here and there and
not think twice aoout turn-
ing it into a huge master
bath suite. The new twist is
that homeowners will try to
make it more livable with
the smaller touches: more
mirrors to add a sense of
"space," new lighting, glass
shower enclosures, and up-
dated fixtures and hardware.
Structurally, it's the same
bathroom, but now it has an
airier feel.
An interior "face-lift"
allows you to use mirrors
or glass to change the look
of your environments rela-
tively inexpensively, and re-
commit to your home, rather
than sell it or simply under-
take a big renovation. Not a
do-it-yourselfer? The hous-
ing slow down also means
good contractors may be
able to take on these smaller
projects that they passed on
previously. Further, these
contractors are more willing
to negotiate a fair price, pro-
viding affordable opportuni-
ties to homeowners.
Mirrors are the leading
tool in changing the way
a room is perceived. Long
seen as a "secret weapon"
of interior designers, mir-
rors can change the look
and feel of a room instantly,
without a lot of effort or ex-
pense. They add light, create
a sense of space and open-
ness, and reflect interesting
views. Mirrors are a simple
way to change the look of
a room and brighten up a
space.
A recent study by a lead-
ing mirror manufacturer in
the United States revealed
that homeowners perceive a
mirror as "cheap art," adding
a focal point to a room that
didn't have one before, at a
cost far more attractive than
a painting or expensively
QUINCY
framed print. This option is
creating a new era of interior
design with mirrors. Interior
decorators are discovering
classy new ways to imple-
ment mirrors into the home
environment with dramatic
yet refined results.
"The new sense of de-
sign with mirrors has pro-
vided some groundbreaking
interior aesthetic inside the
home," says Randy Brooks
of Gardner Glass Products.
"New effects with mirror,
including colored mirror,
mirror with acid-etching,
new custom sizes and bev-
eling, etc., provide hom-
eowners with a great design
palette to add pizzazz to the
home while fitting any de-
sign style."
Here are a few designer
secrets for using mirrors or
decorative glass to update
your home:
In the Bath
* A large mirror over a
vanity can open up the space
visually.
* A framed mirror along
with updated towels or hard-
ware can update the space
instantly.
* Glass shower enclo-
sures instead of a shower
curtain make a small bath-
room feel less crowded.
* A mirrored wall can
brighten up a small, under-
staircase powder room.
Elsewhere in the Home
* A mirrored or back-
painted glass backsplash
in the kitchen reflects light
back into the room without
costly electrical work.
* Transparent or a semi-
transparent decorative glass
in the upper kitchen-cabi-
net doors is an easy way to
change the look instantly.
* In the den, a large
framed mirror over a fire-
place adds a warm focal
point as well as reflected
light.
* In the foyer, a mirrored
wall portion can make the
entrance area feel larger.
* Glass table makes a
dining room or sunny kitch-
en nook feel less cramped
and allows colorful rugs,
cushions and centerpieces
to add impact.
How long will these cre-
ative solutions last? The
housing market could make
a complete recovery, but it's
doubtful in the short term.
In the meantime, think cre-
atively and add new sparkle
to an existing space. For
more information on using
mirrors, plus some design
ideas, visit the Web site of
the Glass Association of
North America's Mirror Di-
vision at www.mirrorlink.

(ARA) - Spring is nearly
here and soon you'll toss
your coat into the back of
the closet, break out the
Bermuda shorts and stride
out onto your lawn ... which
is even more thin and weedy
than last year. You faithfully
fertilize, seed, apply weed
killer and water. What are
you doing wrong?
Here's the real dirt on
what makes a lawn lush --
it's what's under the grass
that counts. Your lawn can't
flourish without a founda-
tion of healthy soil . If your
lawn is sparse and weed-
filled, the real issue might
lie just below the root zone,
in the soil.
So how do you achieve
healthy soil? By tackling
common soil issues like poor
drainage, soil compaction,
thatch buildup and poor pH.
Grass can't thrive if its roots
are waterlogged, struggling
in dense or nutrient-poor
soil, or smothered under a
thick barrier of thatch, a lay-
er of plant debris at the base
of the grass blade.
Before wasting time and
money on a no-win lawn
care program, consider
whether soil problems are
standing between you and
gorgeous grass.
*Poor drainage - Water
puddling on the surface af-
ter rain or irrigation means
moisture isn't draining
freely to deeper soil levels.
Healthy soil is porous, al-
lowing air and nutrients to
reach plant roots. Roots can
actually drown and rot away
in waterlogged soil.
*Soil compaction — Soil
is easily compressed under
constant foot traffic and by
the heavy equipment used

to care for lawns — riding
mowers and heavy wheel-
barrows, for instance. Com-
pacted soil keeps air and
nutrients from reaching
the root system, leaving it
shallow and weak. Test for
compaction by digging up a
shovelful of turf and soil. If
the ground is hard to pierce
or the soil sample is dense
and hard to break up, the
lawn bed needs to be aer-
ated.
*Thatch - Take a sec-
ond look at your test hole.
If you've revealed a layer
of debris thicker than half
an inch, it may be time to
remove the thatch. In ideal
conditions, grass clippings,
leaves, twig fragments and
other debris that falls on the
lawn break down, providing
nutrients to the grass. But if
the soil organisms responsi-
ble for decomposition aren't
present, thatch builds up,
creating a layer at the soil
surface that sheds water and
nutrients.
* pH - Simply put, pH is
a measure of how acidic or
alkaline your soil is. If your
soil's pH is out of balance,
you can correct it by adding
the proper amendments.
There are time-tested tac-
tics to tackle these problems
by mechanical means, and
much newer, effective and
easy treatments developed
by soil scientists to improve
conditions beneath the turf.
Mechanical core aera-
tors, available for rent, pull
up finger-sized cores from
the lawn, leaving them on
the surface to dissolve. The
plugs will dissolve over
time, but they're ugly until
they do. Plus, mechanical
aeration can bring up weed
seeds from the soil bank.
Renting an aerator or a pow-
er thatching mower can be
expensive and the process is
labor-intensive.

Survival Rates For Colorectal Cancer High When Found Early
As the nation marks
National Colorectal Can-
cer Awareness Month this
March, the American Can-
cer Society is encouraging
Americans to get lifesaving
screening tests that have
been proven to reduce the
risk of the third leading
cause of cancer death in
both men and women.
According to the recent
Annual Report to the Nation
on cancer, progress contin-
ues to be made in the fight
against colorectal cancer

lon cancer), with incidence

Eat a Banana,
Lower Your Blood
Pressure
Could it really be that
easy?
It might not be the whole
answer, but it could help.
Those of us with hyperten-
sion have to restrict our diets
to limit salt, or sodium.
Dozens of clinical trials
show that potassium, as
found in bananas and many
other foods, can bring about
a better potassium-sodium
balance. Lowered blood
pressure can be the result in
many cases, especially when
combined with the other
standards of high blood
pressure treatment, such aus
increased exercise.
The National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute, part of
the National Institutes of
Health, has a Web site full of
information about high
blood pressure and how to
manage it, including a sec-
tion on diet.
Go to www.nhlbi.nih.gov
and put this in the search
box: high blood pressure
DASH. That will bring you
to a number of articles about
lowering blood pressure
with diet.
What 1 appreciated in the
pages on DASH (Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hyper-
tension) was the week's
worth of menus, showing
quantities to eat and indicat-
ing just how much sodium
there is in each food. There's
even a section on getting
started gradually on a DASH
diet. On another page, a
chart shows just how much
potassium is in dozens of
different foods Potatoes,
lima beans, almonds, toma-
toes, yogurt, tuna — they're
all good sources of potassi-
um.
If you have high blood
pressure, ask your doctor if
you will benefit from adding
some potassium-rich foods
to your diet. Don't try to
make adjustments on your
own, especially if you're on
medication. Ask, because
it's possible to get too much
potassium, too. As in all
things, there needs to be a
balance.

ORAL INDICATIONS
Many people are not aware
ol the many ways in which oral
health is linked with overall health.
For instance, according to a sur-
vey recently conducted by the
Academy of General Deritistry
nearly 60% of those surveyed
dkj not know that a painful jaw is
one warning sign that may indi-
cate an impending heart attack.
TTius, a visit to the dentist may
be a palienfs first sign of an im-
pending heart attack. Tnus, a visit
to the dentist may be a patient's
first sigi of an impencfing danger-
ous heart event. In fact, research
incficates that over 90% of sys-
temic diseases have oral symp-
toms. With this in mkj, careful
dental examinatkxis of patients
with a history of heart disease
(or other conditions) for signs of
oral pail, infection, or inflamma-
tion is crucial to overall health.
h some cases, the cause of
jaw pa»i is from referred psm
that comes from crther areas
surrounding the jaw. Any den-
tal pain should be inve^igated
since early treatment Is almost
always a good idea, especially
if a dental infectkxi is suspected.
We are dedicated to our patients'
good health and well being and
you are wore than welcome to

PS. Recent stuc^ also sug-
gest that people who haveguv
disease are at a Ngher rts^ for
heartattack.
and mortality rates continu-
ing to experience a steady
decline due in part to an in-
crease in screening. From
1998 to 2005, colon cancer
incidence dropped by 2.8%
per year in men and 2.2%
per year in women. Deaths
rates have fallen by 4.39J in
both men and women from
2002 to 2005. The Ameri-
can Cancer Society recom-
mends routine screening for
men and women starting at
age 50, and earlier testing
for those at higher than av-
erage risk. Regularly sched-
uled screening can not only
detect cancer at an early and
more treatable stage, but can
also prevent cancer from
developing by removing
precancerous polyps before
they become cancerous.
Despite evidence
showing colorectal screen-
ing can save lives and the
availability of .several op-
tions for patients, only about
half of the U.S. population
aged 50 and older has been
tested recently for colon
cancer. Among those who
have not been screened for
colon cancer, reasons in-
clude lack of access to af-
fordable care, and that clini-
cians are not recommending
screening when they should.
Other barriers include lack
of knowledge of the impor-
tance of screening, of the
treatability of colon cancer
when detected early, and of
available testing options.
Screening is critical as more
than half of all colon cancer
deaths could be prevented
if everyone who should get
screened did so.
"Colon cancer is one of
the only cancers that can
be prevented through regu-
lar testing" said Durado
Brooks, M.D., director of
prostate and colorectal
cancer, American Cancer
Society. "The declines in
incidence and mortality
from colorectal cancer can
be attributed to prevention
and early detection of the
disease through screening,
as well as increasingly ef-
fective treatment."
In March 2008 , the Amer-
ican Cancer Society, along
with the American College
of Radiology and the U.S.
Multi-Society Task Force
on Colorectal Cancer re-
leased the first-ever consen-
sus guidelines for colorectal
screening. The guidelines
now include two new tests -
stool DNA and CT colonog-
raphy. also known as virtual
colonoscopy. The guidelines
also for the first time indi-
cate a preference for screen-
ing tests that can not only
detect cancer early but also
detect precancerous polyps
before they turn cancerous.
One major barrier to co-
lon cancer screening is a
lack of health insurance.
Many studies show that
people who are uninsured
are substantially less likely
to be screened for colon
cancer - while nearly half
(48.3 percent) of men and
women ages 50 to 64 with
private insurance had a rec-
ommended colon cancer
screening test in the past 10
years, only one in five (18.8
percent) of those who lacked
insurance had received rec-
ommended screening. In
addition, insurance status
strongly influences survival
among those diagnosed with
colon cancer - individuals
with private insurance who
are diagnosed with Stage
II colon cancer have better
survival outcomes than in-
dividuals who are uninsured
or receive Medicaid and are
diagnosed with Stage I.
The American Can-
cer Society Cancer Action
Network (ACS CAN), the
advocacy affiliate of the
American Cancer Society,
is working to pass the Col-
orectal Cancer Prevention,
Early Detection and Treat-
ment Act. This legislation
establishes a program ad-
ministered by the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vemion (CDC) that would
provide vital colon cancer
screenings, treatment and
follow-up services to low-
income, uninsured and un-
derinsured men and women
ages 50 to 64. Addifionally,
this program will support
training for health provid-
ers based on research that
has shown physician recom-
mendation is a critical factor
for patients in deciding to
get screening tests, and will
support public information
and education programs for
the prevention and detection
of colon cancer and promot-
ing the benefits of cancer
screenings targeted both at
the general public and medi-
cally underserved popula-
tions.
On the local level, the
American Cancer Society
will hold a Lobby Day at
the State House in Boston,
which will focus on pass-
ing a piece of legislation
requiring all health insurers
to cover colorectal screen-
ings according to Society
guidelines in Massachu-
setts. Currently 26 states
have this requirement, in
part for its cost effectiveness
and also the law's ability to
save lives. The Lobby Day
will take place on March 3 1 ,
2009 at 10:30 a.m. in Nurses
Hall at the State House in
Boston, featuring legislative
leaders such as Senate Pres-
ident Therese Murray and
colorectal cancer survivors.
A number of lifestyle
factors impact colon cancer
risk. Studies indicate that
men and women who are
overweight are more likely

Medicines Almost
Always Control
Gout
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have gout in my big toe,
and it's very, very painful.
I have to walk in my socks.
Are there any piils for
gout? What food causes
the pain? — L-A".
ANSWER: Gout results
from loo much uric acid in
the blood. Uric acid is a
byproduct of daily cell
chemistry. When the uric-
acid level rises, crystals of it
penetrate the joint. The joint
swells, the skin over it turns
red, and the joint feels
warm. It hurts beyond
words. Early on, gout comes
In attacks, with the intervals
between attacks being free
of pain. As time passes, the
joint can hurt all the time.
The joint at the base of the
big toe is often the first joint
affected, but it might not be
the only joint. The heel,
ankle, knee, fingers, wrists
and elbows also can be tar-
gets.
Doctors make the diagno-
sis of gout by examining the
affected joint and finding a
high blood uric acid. The
most telling evidence lies in
looking at joint fluid
through a microscope and
seeing uric-acid crystals.
Are you positive it is gout
that you have? Many condi-
tions cause swollen, painful
joints.
For acute gout attacks,
nonsteroidal anti-inflamma-
tory medicines like Indocin
to develop and die from co-
lon cancer, and a diet high
in red or processed meat is
known to increase risk of de-
veloping the disease. Studies
also show that high levels of
physical activity may cut the
risk of colon cancer in half.
The American Cancer Soci-
ety recommends engaging in
moderate activity for at least
30 minutes on five or more
days per week and substi-
tuting high consumption
of red and processed meat
with a healthy diet rich in
plant sources, whole grains,
and five or more servings of
fruits and vegetables.
Age remains the most
important risk factor for co-
lon cancer. Risk increases
with age, with more than 90
percent of cases diagnosed
in individuals aged 50 and
older. A personal or family
history of the disease also
increases risk. An estimated
148,810 cases of colorec-
tal cancer were expected to
occur in 2008, and 49,960
deaths were also expected.
work well. Another time-
honored gout medicine is
colchicine. If neither of
these works, cortisone drugs
come to the rescue.
Zyloprim (allopurinol)
turns off the production of
uric acid and prevents gout
attacks. Benemid
(probenecid) facilitates the
excretion of uric acid into
the urine. It, too, prevents
attacks.
Diet was the sole treatment
of gout in the bad old days.
Organ meats — liver, brain,
sweetbreads and kidneys —
are foods to avoid. Gravies
are not good for those with
gout. Beer should be
restricted. Bing cherries can
bring the blood level of uric
acid down.

Sometimes you hear that
people who have a heart or
liver transplant take on the
personality of the person

this true or not? — /VJV.

doesn't happen.

Members of the Quincy
Fire and Police Depart-
ments took some time out
from their busy schedules to
give back to the community
Saturday night at the Quincy
Youth Arena.
The Third Annual Char-
ity ("up, a hocke> game

ments, this year, benehted
the Bobby Harvc) Memo-
rial Fund. Harvey, a native
Quincy son. was the iron-
worker killed last August
when a portion of the Go-
liath Crane collapsed at the
Fore River Shipyard.
The two previous Charity
Cups benelited the Ofhcer
Jamie Cochrane Scholarship
Fund and DOVH.
''This year's event had a
very good turnout and we
raised (official figures not
yet determined) close to
$7 .000 for the Harvey Me-
morial Fund."' said Char-
ity Cup organizer Kevin
Ferent. QFD. The Harvey
Memorial Fund is planning
on turning this money into
scholarships at both high
schools and giving the rest
back to the community. All
the money raised will go
back to help Quincy in some
way."
Ferent, who in the past
had chosen which charity
the game would benefit, had
a easier time this year decid-
ing which organization to
support.
"1 pay close attention to
what is going on in the city
and I have made the deci-
sion about which charity to
support based on what is
going on in Quincy the last
two years." he added. "But
this year as soon as it hap-
pen (Harvey's tragic death)
1 knew that we would be
playing lor them. I had
phone call after phone call
this fall from people hop-
ing we would support this
cause. This year it was an
easy decision.
"Bobby had played hock-
ey with many members of
the Police and Fire Depart-
ments growing up in Quin-
cy. So this game had special
meaning lor all of us."
The game itself was
very competitive. In a well-
played ct)ntest. the Quincy
Police Department came out
on top, 6-3.
"It was a well -played
game and a lot of fun," said
Ferent. "We had 14 members
of the Police Department
and 17 members of the Fire
Department take part, but it
really isn't about who wins
and who loses, it is about
reminding the community
that we are here for them,
not just in an emergency,
but that we are behind them
100% all the time. It is all
about giving back to Quincy
any chance we can."

"I saw Quincy as a place
that could be like South

together. We want people
to know that the QPD and

prove that.

Two Quincy High
School wrestlers made per-
sonal statements at the All-
State Tournament held at
Salem High School during
the weekend of Feb. 28-29.
Senior Paul Reggian-
nini and junior Josh Gerry
showed sportsmanship and
flashed serious talent as
both finished in the top-8
of their respective weight
classes.
Gerry, who won the 1 25-
pound MA State Cham-
pionship at the Division
II finals back on Feb. 21,
finished second at the All-
States. His second-place
finish was marred by a last-
second judgment call by the
officials.
"Josh was down 5-1 in
the finals but battled back to
take a 6-5 lead," said QHS
head coach Pat Lane. "His
opponent tied the score at
6-6, but near the end of the
match Josh made an ag-
gressive move to gain two
points; and we thought he
had it but the official said
otherwise.
"His opponent escaped
from Josh's hold and when
the match ended the offi-
cials decided to give him
the two points and the win
instead of letting the two of
them decide the outcome in
overtime.
"My solution in a situa-
tion like that that is to let the
kids decide it on the mat.
But Josh, who is a competi-
tor first-and-foremost, took
the loss in stride and moved
on."
Gerry's opponent in the
finals was Nick Flannery of
Framingham HS. Flannery,
who did not place in the
New England's, won the
match, 8-6.
Earlier in the All-State
tournament, Gerry beat
Christian McCarthy of
Lowell HS and TJ Crabtree
of St. John's Prep.
Gerry, as a result of his
second-place finish at All-
States, qualified for the
New England Champion-
ships held March 6-7 in
New Haven, Conn. He fin-
ished in fifth place at New
England's and ended his
year with a 44-5 overall re-
cord.
Gerry earned his fifth-
place finish at New Eng-
land's with wins over the
state finalist from Maine and
Connecticut. He dropped a
2-0 decision to Mike My-
ers of Rhode Island in the
semifinals and lost 7-6 in
the consolation bracket to
George Wilson of Spring-
field Central but took fifth
by defeating the state final-
ist from CT.
He finished the tourna-
ment at 3-2, just one spot
from placing.
Reggiannini took to the
mats at the All-States and
finished in the tpp-8 out
of 22 wrestlers in the 140-
pound class. A strong show-
ing for Quincy's senior cap-
tain.
"Paul wrestled very well
at All-States," said Lane.
"To finish in the top-8 in his
weight class is impressive.
He has been a great wrestler
for Quincy during his high
school career."
Reggiannini defeated
CJ Venuto, 16-4, in his first
match; lost to Walter Pope
of Framingham HS in the
second round; and knocked
off Colin MacKenzie of
Duxbury and Craig Ramsey
of Maiden to earn a spot in
the fifth place match. In that
match, Reggiannini lost to
Aaron Blanco of Lawrence.

Presidents End Season
On High Note
Christ Church Quincy Champions
Of QYB Boys' Grade 3-5 Division
By SEAN BRENNAN
Quincy High School
ended its 2()08-09-basket-
ball season with a thrilling
77-75-overtime victory over
North Quincy High School
in the consolation game of
the annual Vin Moscardelli
Tournament The team's
win over the Red Raiders
pushed the season series
between the two city high
schools to 2- 1 in favor of the
Presidents.
Quincy won the first
game, 81-68 (Jan. 9), and
lost the middle game, 77-41
(Feb. 7), before dispatch-
ing of NQ in the third and
final game between the two
schools.
"This was a big win for
our team to end the season,"
said QHS head coach David
Parry. "It gives us the 'city
championship' over NQ and
it was a good way for my
team to close out the season.
We actually finished the year
with the win over North and
we had a huge upset win
over Whitman-Hanson in
one of our final regular sea-
son games."
Against North Quincy,
three promising underclass-
men showcased their skills
and gave the fans of the team
a glimpse of what the future
could bring. Sophomores
Brian Malger (12 points)
and Kevin McDonagh (22
pts.) and freshman Robbie
Bina (14 points) provided
the lift needed to carry the
Presidents over North.
"These young guys have
seen a lot of time this sea-
son," added Parry. "Along
with Bina, Malger and Mc-
Donagh, players like Kenny
Nguyen and Seth Pullum
have really stepped up this
year. We only had five se-
niors on the roster so these
young guys were put into
the fire early.
"The playing time these
kids saw this year and they
way we ended the season
should give us a lift heading
into next season."
Parry will have to deal
with the graduation of five
steady seniors. Playing in
their final high school games
against NQ were Anthony
Raddatz, Andrew Papile,
Victor Otoadese and John
Parry (senior Doug Scott
played his last game back in
January).
"All five of these seniors
will be continuing their edu-
cation in college next year,
and that is really what it is
all about," said Parry. "They
are a great group of kids
and it will be bittersweet to
see them go. But they have
helped lay the foundation
for the younger kids through
their hard work and dedica-
tion and, though it will be
tough without them, they
leave the program in good
shape."
The senior class made
one final statement on their
home court back on Feb. 10
against Whitman Hanson
HS. The game, which was
held on Senior Night, was
the last official boys' bas-
ketball game ever played at
QHS' East Gym (the team
will be playing elsewhere
next season as the new gym
is being constructed).
Quincy. behind an 18-
noint. l.S-rebound effort
from Raddat/.. seven three-
pointers from I'arry (21 pts )
and a buzzer-beating lay-in
from Papile that sent the
game into overtime, upset
W-H
"Raddatz played his best
game of the season," said
Parry "He held Noel James
(one of the Patriot League's
best players) to nine points
and had a monster game
himself.
"John really had it that
night shooting the ball. We
are looking into it. but those
seven three-pointers may be
a school record. And An-
drew had that clutch lay-in
to send the game into over-
time.
"It was a great send-off
for the seniors and it will be
a game that we can build on
a little bit moving forward."
\\'ith the year over. Parry
has already moved forward
to next fall. He has named
junior Kenny Nguyen and
sophomore Brian Malger
as team captains; a move he
hopes gives his young team
some stability throughout
the off-season.
"Instead of waiting till
the fall to name captains. I
have already chosen Nguy-
en and Malger as captains
for next year." Parry said.
"It gives them and the team
a chance to get started right
away. 1 loved what they both
brought to the court. They
are everything you want
from high school players.
"They both lead by ex-
ample and they do whatever
is needed to help the team."

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Your efforts in behalf of a col-
league do not go unnoticed, let
alone unappreciated. Mean-
while, arrange to spend more
time investigating that troubling
fact you recently uncovered.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Devoting a lot of time to a cur-
rent career move means having
less time for those in your pri-
vate life. But once you explain
the circumstances, they should
understand and be supportive.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Organizing your many duties
in order of importance should
help you get through them pret-
ty quickly. Additional informa-
tion puts that still-to-be-made
decision in a new light.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Lingering bad feelings over a
recent misunderstanding should
fade as reconciliation efforts
continue. Meanwhile, vacation
plans might need to be revised
because of new developments.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Love dominates the Lion 's heart
this week, with Cupid shooting
arrows at single Leos and Leo-
nas looking for romance. Part-
nered pairs also enjoy strength-
ened relationships.
VIRGO (August 2.3 to Septem-
ber 22) "Getting To Know You"
should be the single Virgo's
theme song as you and that spe-
cial person discover more about
one another. That workplace
situation needs Uwking into.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) You might be upset at
having your objectivity ques-
tioned in the handling of a dis-
pute. But it would be wise to re-
examine your feelings to make
sure you're being fair with twth
sides.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
veml)er 21) A family dispute
creates mixed feelings about
how you hope it will be ulti-
mately resolved. Best advice:
Stay out of it and let the in-
volved parties work it through
by themselves.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 2 1 ) Making an
effort to smooth over even the
smallest obstacles now will go a
long way to assuring that things
run smoothly once you're set to
move on with your plans.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) A challenge to
your authority can be upsetting,
but your longtime supporters
want you to defend your pt)si-
tion so you can win over even
your most adamant detractors.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February !8) Being unable
to get involved in a friend's
problem calls for an honest ap-
proach. Provide explanations,
not excuses. Another friend
might be able to offer support
for your decision.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You find yourself
swimming in circles, Ux>king
for some way to get back on a
straight course. But things get
easier once you're able to refo-
cus your energies.
BORN THIS WEEK: You re
known for your charm and
your wisdom, and there's no
one who wouldn't want you to
be part of his or her life .

■jg. Each of us is blessed with a unique
^^^^^ personality. Some outgoing and imagi-
J^HHV^^ native. Others cautious and shrewd.
g^^B ^S^ ^Bk But it is a rare personality that is
^^^B ^T ^^H well-liked by all his companions in his
social and business life. "You can't
please everyone"; traits that appeal
to some people are irritating to others.
We all may benefit, however, from winning other's respect,
good will, and, hopefully, friendships . . .
A well-developed personality depends first of all on the
ability to be oneself. You may be a bit on the solemn side or
you may be an extrovert and "back-slapper." Start from
what you are. Don't try to be something you are not . . .
Take a great and real interest in other people. Be sparing in
your criticism. IVy to find out everytime you come in contact
with something novel and unusual just what it is that gives
this situation its appeal. In other words, touch life at many
points. Be generous and understanding.
Granted, this may seem like trite and obvious advice, but
it is the kind of thing that develops rich, charming, over-
whelming personaUties. . .

Detailed Review Of City's Investigation
School Committee To Hear
Honeywell Program Probe
Mayor Thomas Koch's
administration was set to
provide School Committee
members last night
(Wednesday) with a detailed
review of the city's investi-
gation to date into inflated
billing, shoddy work and
a loophole-ridden contract
related to the $32.8 million
Honeywell energy manage-
ment program.
The administration's
probe prompted the state
Inspector General to begin
an investigation into the
2007 Honeywell deal that
is now underway. The pro-
gram called for Honeywell
to repair infrastructure in
40 city buildings, including
schools, in a way that would
ultimately save energy and
money for the city.
But administration offi-
cials told school committee
members that instead, the
program has been riddled
with serious problems.
School Committee member
Jo-Ann Bragg requested the
public presentation. Other
committee members also re-
quested information on the
Honeywell deal.
Administration offi-
cials detailed a number
of examples at the heart
of the city and Inspector
General investigation, in-
cluding a 2007 roof repair
at the Snug Harbor School
that Honeywell charged
$752,800 to perform. In
comparison, a larger roof
repair at the Atlantic Middle
School cost only $214.(KK)
performed through the tra-
ditional public bidding pro-
cess, a more than three-fold
difference.
"This is just one of the
outrageous examples that
we have indentified,and will
continue to indentify as we
work to ensure that our tax-
payers are protected," Koch
said. "This boondoggle will
not be tolerated, and we are
prepared to use any means
at our disposal to make the
city whole."
Administration officials
noted that dramatically m-
flated costs were not iso-
lated to school repairs,
highlighting the roof at the
\\'ollaston library branch
thai Honeywell charged
$224 .(KX) to pern)rm. Ihat
cost equals $7,4{X) per
square foot of construction
compared to the Atlantic
Middle School repair that
cost S 1 ,1 1 8 per square foot.
"We are working closel\
with the Inspector General,
providing him information
on a regular basis," said Cit\

Inspector General Also Cites Employee Issues
Independent Appraisal
Recommended For College
Brockton Firm Awarded
Concourse Construction Bid
Independence Day for
Quincy College was moved
back a bit this week after
State Inspector General
Gregory Sullivan recom-
mended an "arms-length
valuation" of the college as
well as a review of key is-
sues in a proposed Home
Rule Petition.
"Quincy College is a
valuable public asset."
wrote Sullivan in his review
of the college's petition for
independence which is cur-
rently being considered by
city councillors.
"It is my strong recom-
mendation that the City of
Quincy contract with an in-
dependent appraiser to con-
duct a full valuation of the
college to determine the fair
market value of this public
asset." wrote Sullivan in a
March 16 letter addressed to
City Council President Jay
Davis.
City Clerk Joseph Shea
read the letter at Monday's
Ordinance Committee meet-
ing chaired by Ward 5 City
Councillor Douglas Gutro.
Sullivan, also, described
two potential problems in
the Home Rule Petition. He
cited a section waiving pro-
visions of the state's conflict
of interest law and, also, a
second provision, "allowing
employees of a private enti-
ty" to join the state's health
insurance program.
Sullivan reviewed the
Home Rule Petition at the
request of Ward 2 Council-
lor Daniel Raymondi who
objected to those three is-
sues in the college's propos-
al for independence.
Sullivan's letter was
delivered to Gutro. Davis.
Mayor Thomas Koch, and
other city officials before
Monday's Ordinance Com-
mittee meeting.
Gutro set an April 27
date for the next discussion
of the Home Rule Petition
after city councillors voted
to seek an independent ap-
praiser of the college assets
and value at the college's
expense.
More than 70 supporters
of Quincy College indepen-
dence, sporting "Campaign
for Independence" stick-
ers, filled City Council and
Harris presented a petition
signed by 543 persons.
"We're happy for the
input," City Solicitor Jim
Timmins said of Sullivan's
recommendations. Timmins
added that Koch "believes
the separation of the college
is the appropriate thing to
do."
Koch submitted the peti-
tion to City Council. Once it
is approved, the petition will
be submitted to the state leg-
islature.
College President M.
Sue Harris, former State
Sen. Warren Tolman. the
college's legal counsel, and
four members of the col-
lege's Board of Governors
spoke, outlining the need
for independence, 50 years
of quality education, and
responding to questions re-
garding the petition.
Gutro acknowledged the
college's problem with hav-
ing "public oversight with-
out public money."
Jo- Anne Bragg, a mem-
ber of the Board of Gover-
nors and the School Com-
mittee, described a "public/
private model" proposal de-
signed to allow the college's
employees to remain in the
state's insurance program
and the city's pension plan.
Other members of the
Board of Governors, Mark
Bertman and Ed Brown de-
scribed their pride in Quin-
cy College, problems with
long-range planning, and the
difficulty of raising money
for the college when it is a
department of the city.
"All we can do is rely on
the tuitions that those stu-
dents pay," said Brown who
echoed Berkman's state-
ment, "It's very difficult to
fundraise. People feel that
the funds are part of the
city."
Councillor John Keenan
said. "The concept of an in-
dependent college is the right
way to go. I hope this works
and moves forward." How-
ever, Keenan also outlined
complex issues, involving
the employees' health insur-
ance and pensions.
In addition to Sullivan's
letter, and the petitions,
councillors received infor-
mation on the college's fi-
nances and enrollments as
requested by Councillor Mi-
chael McFarland.
According to a report by
municipal auditors. Powers
and Sullivan, Quincy Col-
lege 's "net assets exceed
liabilities by $12.1 million"
as of last year. This includes
the value of Saville Hall,
as well as furnishings and
leasehold improvements to
its Newport Avenue cam-
pus.
By LAURA GRIFFIN
A Brockton firm has
won the bid for the second
phase of construction for the
Quincy Center Concourse
that calls for the overhaul of
McGrath Highway into a pe-
destrian friendly parkway.
According to Mayor
Thomas Koch, the $4.3
million bid awarded to J.
Derenzo Co. will mark one
of the first tangible signs of
construction for the long-
anticipated roadway and
one of the first major gears
in a $1 billion plan to rede-
velop Quincy Center.
"This road is vital for
two reasons: To ease traf-
fic for folks trying to get
through downtown from the
Expressway and to spur the
kind of historic private in-
vestment in Quincy Center
that is now becoming a real-
ity," said Koch.
The McGrath Highway
portion of the project calls
for complete reconstruc-
tion of the existing road
between Washington Street
and Southern Artery (Route
3A), and includes wider
sidewalks, new traffic sig-
nals, bike lanes, new trees
and plantings, and a me-
dium strip. Utilities will be
relocated underground as
part of the project.
The project is being paid
for by a $2 million state
Public Works and Econom-
ic Development grant and
through the city's existing
District Improvement Fi-
nancing program.
City officials are ex-
pected to schedule a public
meeting on the project in
coming weeks, with con-
struction expected to begin
in earnest this spring. The
project is anticipated to take
18 months to complete.
The McGrath Highway
reconstruction will set the
stage for the key portion of
the road, where it crosses
Hancock Street and creates
the full East-West connec-
tion through Quincy Center
first envisioned more than
30 years ago. After cross-
ing Hancock Street, the road
will connect with the exist-
ing Paul Harold Bridge and
Burgin Parkway.
The Hancock Street pw-
tion of the project will also
move forward this spring
with scheduled demolition
work to make way for the
roadw ork .
The concourse is seen
as critical to the plans no^v
being discussed publicly
to dramatically transform
Quincy Center into a new
center of retail, office and
living spaces. Street-Works
Development, LLC of White
Plains, New York is current-
ly negotiating plans with
the Koch administration,
and both will be beginning
a series of about 20 public
meetings on the long-term
plan beginning next week.
A full schedule of public
meetings will be published
in The Sun.
Officials and developers
expect the project to create
at least $1 billion in private
investment, create thousands
of new jobs, and spur mil-
lions of dollars in new tax
growth. Koch has said that
it will be the largest private
investment in city history.

School Custodians, Maintenance Workers y
Non-Unionized Administrators
More City Employees
Accept Wage Freeze
School custodians, main-
tenance workers and non-
unionized administrators
are the latest groups to agree
to Mayor Thomas Koch's
request to freeze employee
wages for one year to help
the city weather the ongoing
economic crisis.
Custodians and mainte-
nance workers, two indi-
vidual unions, agreed to the
one-year delay on contract-
ed raises, a move that will
save more than $200, (XX) in
the budget that begins July
1 . School principals. School
Superintendent Richard
DeCristofaro and his staff,
and other school administra-
tors also voluntarily agreed
not to take raises, saving an-
other $250,000.
"Every one of our mem-
bers recognizes the tough
times in the city, and we are
willing to do our part work-
ing with the mayor," said
James Connors, president of
the Quincy Public Schools
Custodians Association.
Added Maintenance
Workers Association
President Sean Martin:
"It is the right thing to do
in these difficult times. We
understand that sacrifices
are needed to help get the
city through this crisis, and
our hope is that this vote will
help save jobs and ensure
that our schools receive the
maintenance they need."
The two school unions
join several other city unions
to accept the wage freeze.
Firefighters, police patrol-
men. City Hall office work-
ers. City Hall supervisors
and school crossing guards,
have all voted by wide mar-
gins on Koch's proposal,
bringing the tally of total
savings to date to more than
$1 million.

essary to build a retail op-

The Planning Board's

For one thing, the devel-
oper, QBJ Land Develop-
ment LLC. would provide
pedestrian access by way of
a 10-foot wide walkway to
the site from the Quincy Ad-
ams T Station.
Also the developer would
limit the direction that trucks
travel from the site and help
resolve traffic problems at
Liberty and Water Streets.
An ad hoc committee of
city three councillors will
interview five candidates for
the long vacant post of city
auditor today (Thursday)
from 4 to 6 p.m. in the coun-
cil president's office at City

The duties of the of-

July.
The interviews will
be conducted by Council
President Jay Davis and
Councillors Brian McNamee

Davis said the long delay
in choosing a new auditor
was due to the restructuring
of the city's financial system

most beloved public servants
in the city's history - was laid

March 12, 1984, I was one of
the 1 ,000 mourners who sat
shoulder-to-shoulder in St.
John the Baptist Church for
the former mayor and state
senator's funeral Mass which
was celebrated five days after
his sudden death on March 7.
His passing - at the much-
too-early age of 53 - shook
the city to its core.
1 was only 19 at the time,
a freshman at the University
of New Hampshire. It was the Friday before spring break
and I had decided to come home for my semester recess.
It was two days after Jimmy had died. I hadn't heard the
news yet as I boarded a Trailways bus in Durham, N.H. to
Boston's South Station and then hopped on the Red Line to
the Quincy Center T station.
Reaching Quincy, I bounded down the steps of the T sta-
tion — which Jimmy was instrumental in bringing to the
city - and walked briskly past Mclntyre Mall - named for
Jimmy's father, former Quincy Police Captain William F.
Mclntyre. I was headed to The Quincy Sun office to surprise
my father since he was unaware I was stopping in Quincy
enroute to our home in Braintree.

(no computers back then) as the staff worked on news copy,
mostly with their heads down. You could sense something
was wrong.
I said hello to those I knew and headed straight for my
father's office in the back of the street-level space.
Henry came out of the office, surprised to see me. I ex-
pected a hearty hello and a "Well, the college boy is back."
Instead, there was profound sadness.
"Jimmy Mclntyre died," he told me in a soft voice. "He
had a heart attack after surgery the other day."
The news left me speechless - and heart-broken.
I felt my father's pain in the passing of one of his best
friends through the years; a bond formed long before the

Moments

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On March 16, 1802, the
United States Military Academy
- the first military school in
the United States - is founded
by Congress for the purpose of
educating and training young
men in the theory and practice
of military science. Located at
West Point, N.Y., the U.S. Mili-
tary Academy is often known
simply as West Point.
• On March 20, 1852, Harri-
et Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery
novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," is
published. It sells 300,000 cop-
ies within three months. While
living in Cincinnati, Stowe en-
countered fugitive slaves and the
Underground Railroad. Later,
she wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
in reaction to recently tightened
fugitive slave laws.
• On March 22, 1908, Louis
L'Amour, the prolific author of
scores of bestselling Western
novels, is bom in Jamestown,
N.D. His big break came when
a novel he wrote at the age of 46
became the basis for the popular
John Wayne movie "Hondo."
• On March 18, 1925, the
worst tornado in U.S. history
passes through eastern Missouri,
southern Illinois and southern
Indiana, killing 695 people, in-
juring some 13,000 people and
causing $17 million in prop-
erty damage. Known as the
"Tri-State Tornado," the deadly
twister sp)ent more than three
hours on the ground and traveled
at speeds in excess of 70 mph -
unsurpassed in U.S. history.
• On March 17, 1931, radio
star Kate Smith debuts her first
program. The show launched
performers like Abbott and
Costello and introduced songs
like Irving Berlin's "God Bless
America," which she sang on
Armistice Day in 1938.
• On March 19, 1971, the
Italian American Civil Rights
League announces a truce with
the producers of "The Godfa-
ther." Upset at the portrayal of
Italian Americans as gangsters,
the League persuaded the pro-
ducers not to use the words "Ma-
fia" or "Cosa Nostra."
• On March 21, 1980, Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter informs a
group of U.S. athletes that, in
response to the December 1979
Soviet incursion into Afghani-
stan, the United States will boy-
cott the 1980 Olympics in Mos-
cow. It marked the first and only
time that the United States has
boycotted the Olympics.

But I had lost someone, too.
Jimmy Mclntyre was my godfather.
I can remember, as a youngster, going to the office with
my father and occasionally running into Jimmy. Sometimes
he stopped in to chat with Henry; other times my father and
I stopped in to see him at his Quincy Center law office. He
was a gentle soul, whose smile was always wide and his
eyes warm and caring.
As the years passed, I seemed to see less and less of
Jimmy and his wife. Sheila, my godmother. But if I needed
something - anything - they were there for me.
In March of 1980, Jimmy agreed to be my sponsor when
I received the Sacrament of Confirmation at St. John's
Church. He had agreed to be my godfather at my baptism at
St. Thomas More Church 15 years earlier.
I was all dressed up for my confirmation: a light blue pin-
stripped suit with a red carnation. I sat with my parents and
grandmother but I grew anxious as Mass time neared.
Jimmy hadn't arrived yet.
"Don't worry, Bobby, he'll be here," my father reassured
me. "He's a busy guy." And then, almost on cue, Jimmy was
at the side of pew, ready to join me as the Mass began.
Bishop Joseph F. Maguire, the former pastor at St. John's
Church, was the celebrant. As I got confirmed, Jimmy
placed his right hand on my right shoulder. Unbeknownst
to me, a Quincy Sun photographer was there taking pictures.
On the front page of the next issue Henry placed a picture
of my confirmation. It was taken from behind me so you
couldn't really see who it was. But I knew it was me because
of that suit!
After the ceremony, we took some family photos "for
posterity" as my father liked to say. I still have them today.
That may have been the last time I saw Jimmy.
But he never stopped helping me.
A few years later, when it came time to start the college
application process, I chose UNH as my first choice. I had
my work cut out from me as an out-of-state applicant from a
public high school and already there were four or five other
Braintree High School classmates vying for a spot in the
freshman class.
Well, I filled out all my college applications and mailed
them. And, one by one, I was accepted to each one . . . but
I hadn't heard from UNH yet. It was April and I grew ner-
vous.
How Henry Bosworth
Remembered Jimmy Mclntyre
- See Page 8 -
"Guess I better get used to the idea I'm headed to Orono
and the University of Maine," I said to myself as I packed
for my senior class trip to Bermuda. I told my parents if a
letter from UNH arrives addressed to me while I was away,
to please open it and let me know what it says: acceptance
or rejection.
Two days into my trip, I called my house and my mother
told me the letter arrived from UNH. "Do you want me to
open it?" she asked. "Of course" I answered eagerly.
As it turned out, 1 had been accepted for the spring se-
mester and if space opened up I would be able to enroll in
the fall. Not exactly the news I wanted to hear but a short
time later, I got another letter stating I was enrolled in the
fall semester.
It was a fortuitous turn of events.
What I learned later was that Jimmy Mclntyre had writ-
ten a letter to one of his good friends who was close to the
admissions process at UNH. He had taken the time to write
a glowing letter about my academic credentials as a pro-
spective student.
My father explained the story to me when I got ready to
leave for Durham that August. "Jimmy wants you to know
that you really got into UNH on your own, that you didn't
need his help . . . but he wanted to help you because he knew
how much that meant to you."
I never forgot that kind gesture.
So, when my father told me about Jimmy's wake at Keo-
hane's, he didn't have to ask me twice to go with him. The
line was long and the weather cold but I was too numb with
emotion to notice. And I was deeply saddened to attend his
funeral but proud to be a part of that outpouring of sympa-
thy.
I will always remember the words offered by then State
Sen. William Bulger who characterized Jimmy's life and
words with the U.S. Marine Corps motto: "Semper Fidelis"
-Always Faithful.
"Jim's fidelity to his responsibilities set him apart as an
unusually gifted, uniquely dedicated and universally re-
spected public official," Bulger offered in his eulogy to his
longfime friend and colleague.
I will always remember the strength Sheila showed when
she spoke at her husband's funeral. She noted the words of
inspiration on the family's daily calendar for March 7, the
day she lost her husband.
"The great use of life is to spend it for something that
outlasts it."
We followed the funeral procession - one of the city's
longest - headed by a Quincy Police and Fire Department
color guard which moved slowly down Hancock and Cod-
dington Streets toward Mount Wollaston Cemetery.
As it passed Quincy High School, the high school band
played "America the Beautiful" and "Battle Hymn of the
Republic" while ROTC cadets stood at attention and sa-
luted.
I'll also always remember the detail of Marines which
fired the volley and the sounding of taps in the crisp, cold
early afternoon air.
And the American flag that adorned his casket and was
then folded by two Marines and presented to Sheila at Jim-
my's grave.
It's hard to put into words the influence Jimmy Mclntyre
had on this city. He was considered the architect of modem-
day Quincy, in large part for bringing rapid transit - today's
MBTA Red Line - to Quincy in the early 1970s.
Jimmy was elected mayor about a year after my baptism
and took office Jan. 3, 1966. One of his mayoral "duties"
during his first term was making his godson an honorary
citizen of Quincy. I still have the personally signed over-
sized citation.
Jimmy would be elected to two more two-year terms and
serve six years as the city's highest ranking public official.
He did not seek a fourth term. Instead, he accepted the posi-
tion of Counsel to the Massachusetts State Senate.
Twenty-five years after his sudden passing, those mourn-
ful days of March in 1984 still stand out.
But nowadays, whenever I approach old City Hall -
dedicated the James R. Mclntyre Government Center on
Nov. 3, 1985 - one day after the 20th anniversary of his first
mayoral victory - my thoughts turn to Jimmy Mclntyre, my
godfather.
And all his kindness.

THIS IS A 1926 real photo postcard view from the
grounds of the library on Washington Street in Quincy
Center across to the Central Baptist Church on the left
and YMCA in the center. The building on the right was
owned by Henry Faxon, but was rented out as a private
residence. The church was built in 1922 by the Swedish
Baptist Church, which moved here from Water Street
near Brewers Corner. The congregation of the Calvary
Baptist Church then merged with them and the new
church became known as the Central Baptist as it is
today. The YMCA was built here in 1903-04 and served
Quincy's youth for over 50 years until the present
YMCA was built on Coddington Street in 1955. The
old YMCA site is now home to the Quincy Mutual Fire

I I s:
By Henry Bosworth
Quincy Will Never Be The Same
Below is the text of the Sunbeams column written
by Henry W. Bosworth after the passing of longtime
friend James R. Mclntyre 25 years ago. The column
appeared in the March 15, 1984 issue o/The Quincy
Sun.
/Quincy will never quite be the same again with-
V^out Jim Mclntyre.
He was one of the brightest political stars in the
city's history. He had intelligence wrapped in com-
mon sense. He moved with foresight and insight
while others stumbled over hindsight.
He was as much at ease with a President as he
was with a precinct level envelope stuffer.
He was witty, charming and compassionate. He
had charisma by the pound and at his fighting weight
that was a lot of charisma.
He was a good family man-a devoted son, hus-
band and father.
He liked people and they liked him. He knew
most of them by first name. And he was Jimmy or
Jim to them.
He never lost the common touch.
He was also one of those rare individuals who
could get along with just about anyone-even his po-
litical critics and enemies. He even found one en-
emy a job once-only to have him later turn on him.
Yes, he had enemies. Not many. But some. Any
man with the political clout he carried over nearly
three decades and with his popularity would have to
pick up some resentment, jealousy and, of course,
enemies along the way.
But those detractors and enemies respected him.
They may have called him a few things but one thing
they never called him was "stupid."
Some of them said he ran the "machine." Well, if
there was a machine it at least had round wheels and
moved Quincy forward.
One who liked to toss the word "machine" at him
tried to get one of his own going. But it turned out
to have square wheels and if it moved at all, it was
backwards.
But that's the kind of man Jim Mclntyre was. If
someone needed a helping hand, he was there with
two.
His political career was somewhat spectacular.
He was elected city councillor at age 25 in 1955
in his first bid for office while still in college. He
was soon city council president, state representative,
state senator and mayor.
He gave up the mayor's job to become counsel to
the Massachusetts senate-a post he held at the time
of his death last week.
That job took him out of the political spotlight but
not out of politics. He remained a dominant political
figure-in the background.

JAMES McINTYRE
Just about every young person thinking of run-
ning for office sought his advice first. And veteran
office holders sought his counsel, too.
If he had remained in the political arena as a can-
didate there is no telling how far he would have
gone. Many, some years back, were sure they saw a
future governor in him.
What he really wanted to be politically, he never
was. He wanted to be a Congressman and was long
considered heir apparent to the 1 1 "^ Congressional
seat held by his close friend, Jim Burke. But by the
time Burke retired, it was the wrong time for Jim
Mclntyre.
Most people remember him for his many political
victories. I remember him fondly for his only politi-
cal defeat. Because it showed me Jim Mclntyre, the
man and the Mclntyre family.
He was only 29 years old when he challenged the
old master, powerful incumbent Amelio Delia Chie-
sa for mayor in 1959.
It was one of the hottest mayoral races in years
with Delia Chiesa winning 1 7 ,650 to 1 5 ,533 - a slim
1,117 vote margin.
I walked into Jim's campaign headquarters elec-
tion night as he was studying what he considered
key early returns.
"I don't think we're going to make it," he said.
Later figures proved him right.
His wife. Sheila was there at his side. When they
were sure it was not to be their night, Sheila went to
a phone and put in a call to her mother in Niagara
Clifford Marshall School
Offering Scholarships
Falls, NY.
"Jimmy didn't make it," she told her mother. And
she added: "But it's only an election. We lost some-
thing more important than that."
She was referring to the death not very long be-
fore of their infant son, William, named after Jim's
father. Police Capt. William Mclntyre.
Now it was getting late. James (Pete) Ricciuti, his
longtime friend and adviser and Jim looked at one
another. Both knew what they were going to do. .
"Let's go," Jim said.
I went along with them as they walked across the
street to City Hall and climbed the stairs to the may-
or's office that had eluded them that night.
Delia Chiesa was in his office after leaving his
own campaign headquarters.
"Congratulations, Mel," Jim said, extending his
hand. "You're still the mayor."
Delia Chiesa grasped his hand and then, like a
father, slipped his arm around Jim and said: "You're
young, Jimmy. Your day will come."
Times were different back then.
The two men had campaigned hard against one
another. Strong words had been thrown back and
forth between the two political camps.
Now the heated battle was over. One had won, the
other had lost. But they were still friends. There was
no hatred. It would still be Mel and Jimmy.
The years passed.
Jim and Sheila adopted four children-Elizabeth,
Sheila, William and Charles-giving them a good
home filled with warmth and love.
Tragedy, as everyone knows, struck last Decem-
ber when the second William died of injuries suf-
fered in a fall down an elevator shaft.
And now tragedy has struck again.
The death of Jimmy Mclntyre at 53 is a tragedy
not only to his family and friends but to the city he
loved.
His day came as Delia Chiesa said it would.
It's sad it ended so soon.
We'll miss you, Jim.

St. Chrysostom's Begins Prayer Shawl Ministry
Early last year, Muriel
Burnhauser, a parishioner of
St. C'hryst)stom's Hpiscopal
Church in Wollaston. now
living near Atlanta. GA,
sent a parcel to The Rev.
David Hefling. rector at St.
Chrysostom's, filled with
hand-knit shawls.
Included was a letter ex-
plaining them and a special
blessing prayer Burnhauser
wanted them to be distrib-
uted to the sick and shut-in
in her hometown.
At about the same time.
Quinc) Medical Center
began its "Palliative Care
Cart"' program, which Rev.
Hefling learned about from
The Rev. Esther Bowen of
the Pastoral Care Depart-
ment.
And thus, a new ministry
has been born at St. Chrys-
ostom's Church located on
the corner of Linden and

Panshioner Sheila Mac-
Donald starting knitting the
shawls herself and between
she and Burnhauser, boxes
of them were going to QMC
on a regular basis. As they
were blessed on Sundays
and sent out, more people
became interested in mak-
ing them.
Now, MacDonald runs
knitting classes every Sun-
day for those who want to
make this part of their own
spiritual journey and reach
out to others.
Rev. Bowen has been to
St. Chrysostom's to person-
ally thank those involved for
their interest and to express
how appreciative recipients
are.
More City Employees
Accept Wage Freeze
"We can't keep them on
the carts," Bowen told the
parish.
Ideas are popping up for
other knitting ministries,
including scarves and mit-
tens for the homeless at the
Common Cathedral in Bos-
ton and small blankets for
the Quincy Humane Soci-
ety, where several parishio-
ners volunteer.
About a dozen people are
knitting away, from begin-

is trying his hand at a newly
acquired skill.

Fire Prevention: Smoke Detectors vin Moscardeiii scholarship
in a slowly developing,
smoldering fire such as that
found in the incipient stages
of a fire in upholstered fur-
niture. This latter type of
fire is more prevalent within
a home, which is why a pho-
toelectric smoke detector is
preferred within a home.
I'm in the process of up-
dating my household smoke
detectors. It's recommended
we do so after 10 years of
use. I'm now attempting
to do as much homework
as 1 can before 1 commit to
a certain type and brand.
Here's why:
The preferred combina-
tion smoke detector and
carbon monoxide detector
is a detector, which uses a
photoelectric sensor as the
detecting mechanism for
smoke. It's actually a code
requirement while the tech-
nology has been slow to
catch up with the State re-
quirements. These combina-
tion detectors are out there
though. However, many
combinations available now
use the ionization method of
smoke detection, which is
not preferred over the for-
mer. Here's why:
The ionization detector is
quicker to sense the small,
invisible particles, which
would be more prevalent in
an immediately flaming fire.
The photoelectric detector is
quicker to sense the larger,
visible smoke particulates your home can double your

On Monday, March 9, 2tX)9, at approximately 8:15
a.m.. Officer Harry Breen interviewed a female victim
of domestic violence at the police station.
The victim stated that
last night she went to visit a
friend and came home later
than expected. Her hus-
band was angry because she
was late and accused her of
having an affair. She said
that he yelled and swore
at her, then grabbed the
thick chain necklace around
her neck, using it to slam
her against the walls and
refrigerator.
Her husband/suspect
then grabbed her by the hair and forced her to the ground
as he threatened to kill her. The victim was able to es-
cape to the bathroom and lock the door and started to
call the police, but after listening to her husband's pleas
not to call, along with promises that he would stop, the
victim did not make the call and came out after her hus-
band calmed down.
In the morning, the victim told her husband that
she was going to the library to do some work and he
said that he would go with her. As the victim drove
with her husband and three year old daughter in the
car, she turned into the parking lot of Police Headquar-
ters. Her husband asked her not to go in and then as she
got out, he locked the doors so that she could not get
their daughter out of the car. At this time, the victim
hit the alarm button on her keys and he then unlocked
the doors.
The victim and her daughter came into Police Head-
A Job Well Done
quarters and initiated action against her husband.
After listening to the victim's statement. Officer Breen
went out to the parking lot to looking for the suspect but he
was gone. A description of the suspect was given out and
that he was wanted on criminal charges.
A short time later. Officer Robert Pearson found the sus-
pect walking on Sea Street. The suspect was placed into
custody and transported to Police Headquarters. At the .sta-
tion. Officer Breen noted that the victim had some scratches
on her neck and a bruise on her shoulder, but she declined
medical attention. Photographs of the injuries were taken
for evidence purposes.
The victim said that she would seek a restraining order.
Officer Breen filed an additional report to the Division of
Family Services because the child witnessed the assault.
The suspect, a 36-year-old Quincy resident, was charged
with "Domestic Violence Assault and Battery."
Nice Work!
A JOB WELL DONE: On Saturday, March 7, 2009 at ap-
proximately 3:45 p.m., Officers Daniel Francis and Joseph
McGunigle were dispatched to the Water Street Bridge for
a report of an individual attempting to kill himself by jump-
ing off the bridge.
Quincy Police Communications updated respond-
ing units that the male had scaled the (suicide) fence and
appeared to be contemplating jumping onto Burgin Park-
way below. The distance from the Water Street Bridge to the
four lane Burgin Parkway below is approximately forty feet
and was heavily traveled, with most vehicles traveling be-
tween thirty-five to forty-five miles per hour and trains go-
ing much faster.
Upon arrival. Officer Francis observed a male stand-
ing on the steel guardrail in the middle of the bridge. He
had his hands covering his face and was making crying/
whimpering sounds. The officer observed a forty-ounce
OFFICER DAN FRANCIS
bottle of malt liquor and a pint of vodka located in close
proximity to the male. Both containers were more than
half empty.
Officer Francis immediately engaged the male in
conversation and within a short time was able to con-
vince him to step from the guardrail back onto the
sidewalk. The male displayed obvious signs of distress
(i.e. red faced and crying) and stated that he had lost his
job and was no longer able to provide for his family. He
added that he had been drinking alcohol in an attempt
to dull his pain to no avail.
Officer Francis contacted communications and re-
quested EMTs'to respond to the bridge to evaluate the
male and after a brief assessment, the male was con-
vinced to go to Quincy Medical Center to speak with
someone regarding his suicidal ideation.
Nice Work!

Police Department ww
Will Not Fill 11 Positions ^
Cont 'd From Page I
1 1 officers represents poten-
tial savings of $1,1 62, 000
on the salary line, according
to Chief Keenan.
The major portion of the
department's budget is for
salaries totaling $20,9 10,728
after the mid-year cuts.
Currently, the department
has 199 staff officer posi-
fions, including the chief.
There are two current open-
ings and nine anticipated
openings.
With the reductions, the
force will operate at 188 in
2009.
Just a decade ago, the
department staffed 217 of-
ficers which included 167
patrol officers in contrast to
the 150 patrol officers this
year and the 143 patrol of-
ficers planned in next year's
budget.
During the same years
between 2000 and 2009, the
number of captains dropped
from six to four. Next year,
the lieutenant slots will de-
crease from 16 to 13 and
sergeant positions from 29
to 27.
"If all goes well, we'll
keep 143 patrol officers,"
Chief Keenan said, before
outlining police officer as-
signments, such as patrol,
detective, investigative,
drug unit, DARE, and com-
munity policing.
Chief Keenan discussed
his budget plans with four
members of the Finance
Committee last week during
a fact-finding session sched-
uled by Chairman John
Keenan.
The Committee has
scheduled meetings with all
city department heads as of-
ficials brace for a barebones
2010 budget.
Chief Keenan also re-
viewed the city's crime sta-
tistics, the work of depart-
ment units, vehicle needs,
and police patrol coverage.
On the bright side. Chief
Keenan said that funds from
1 1 grants awarded to the
city totaling $464,803 have
allowed many programs to
continue.
Chief Keenan, also,
hopes the city will qualify
for federal stimulus funding
aimed at retaining police of-
ficers.
Committee questioning
focused on the department's
patrol coverage, its unique
Harbor Unit, and employee
pay differentials.
Chief Keenan provided
statistics indicating that the
number of police service
calls have decreased or re-
mained consistent during the
past five years while arrests
have increased by an aver-
age of 2.1% in each of the
past five years with a 10%
increase since 2000.
The department regis-
tered 64,244 service calls
in 2008 and 66355 in 2007,
a drop of over 2,000 in 12
months. However, reports
of major crimes, such as
assault and battery or drug
possession, have either re-
mained steady or increased
in the past five years.
Other crimes, like iden-
tity theft that were barely
on the radar previously have
doubled in five years with
43 reported in 2004 and 108
in 2008.
In the past two years, po-
lice arrests increased from
1,987 in 2007 to 2,021 in
2008. according to depart-
ment data provided to the
Committee.
Councillors questioned
the chief on police sector
coverage.
McFarland asked wheth-
er cuts in State Police Units
would affect state properties
within the city, "Is that go-
ing to be a concern for us?"
Chairman Keenan said,
"I know their ranks have
been going down" and noted
that State Police have been
consolidating barracks.
Chief Keenan said he
has not been informed of
any changes. The state cur-
rently patrols such areas as
Quincy Shore Drive, Wol-
laston Beach, Blue Hills and
Squantum Point Park, often
in conjunction with the city.
Chief Keenan, also, de-
scribed the department's
organization, duties of the
four captains, police patrols,
and community policing.
In addi tion , Chief Keenan
outlined various special
units, such as the Harbor
Unit and the DARE program
which educates youngsters
on drugs and alcohol.
"The DARE program has
been a shining star for two
generations," said Chief
Keenan.
Despite the cuts. Chief
Keenan said the city is safe.
"We have coverage in
every area of the city, 24/7,"
Chief Keenan provided a
breakdown on calls, assign-
ments for each of the city's
four patrol sectors, and ex-
plained that geographical
areas expand and contract as
needed.
"They back each other
up," Chief Keenan said that
the number of on-duty patrol
cars on the overnight shift
ranges from 10 to 13:
"We may go down to ten
cars. Then, areas would ex-
pand. It's not ideal. No area
goes uncovered."
McNamee asked whether
a low crime area such as
Ward 6 is neglected when
patrols are moved out. He,
also, sought assurance that
activity in Marina Bay
would he monitored in
warmer weather.
"We've had a shooting
out there," McNamee said,
adding that closing time
often becomes loud on the
boardwalk.
Chief Keenan said police
are aware of the boardwalk
and respond when needed
and that Squantum is cov-
ered.
As for Marina Bay, the
boardwalk is privately
owned and patrolled by de-
tails and police respond to
all calls.
Councillors asked how
the Harbor Unit operated
and whether other water-
front communities operate
such units.
Chief Keenan described
the unit as fairiy unique,
said the three-officer unit
will not be in operation until
May this year due to budget
concerns.
The department, also,
sponsors a Dive Team which
responds to mutual aid calls
on 'comp' time.
In return. Chief Keenan
said the city has access to
the bomb squads and swat
teams of other departments,
through mutual aid.
Gutro asked if the Harbor
Unit will be monitoring new
laws on harbor discharge
and Chief Keenan said that
is part of their duties.
Salaries account for over
$20 million of the police
budget, but the breakdown
can be confusing, according
to Chairman Keenan.
Chairman Keenan said he
had no particular objection
to payments but their appli-
cation to salaries is confus-
ing. He sought some clarity
in the description and break-
down of such payments.
According to the current
police budget, there are at
least a dozen salary boosts
for police personnel with
the largest expenditure, $2.7
million under the Quinn
Bill.
The Quinn Bill provides
increases for relevant edu-
cation credits. Of that sum,
the city pays approximately
$1.2 million, according to
Chief Keenan.
The second highest pay-
out is the shift differential
accounting for some $1.5
million.
Among the other salary
increments listed in the bud-
get are Longevity and En-
hanced Longevity, Reading
Time, Uniform Allowance,
and Training Time.
The Finance Committee
will meet again with Chief
Keenan when the mayor's
2009-2010 budget is final-
ized and submitted to the
City Council.

$6 million in surveillance

Give Your Dryer
a Good Cleaning
Q, I share a laundry room
• with the upstairs ten-
ants, and the washer and dryer
get heavy use. The only annoy-
ing thing is that the upstairs
folks never clean out the lint
screen, so after they are done
drying several loads 1 end up
removing half-inch-thick (or
more) collections of lint. Lately,
I have noticed that my clothes
don't seem to dry as well and
that they sometimes have little
Unt balls stuck to them. Does
the dryer need cleaning? -
Nate in New Hampshire
A^ I'd definitely say yes. The
• parts of the dryer that re-
move lint need to be inspected
and cleaned.
Are you both tenants? If so,
and the landlord supplies the
washer and dryer, inform him or
her right away that there is a lint
(and drying) problem and that
the dryer needs cleaning. Excess
lint is a fire hazard, so prompt at-
tention should be paid.
If you're the owner or you
offer to fix the problem in return
for a break on the rent (some
landlords are grateful for the
extra help), here's how to clean
coiJected and trapped Jint from
ihe dryer and vents.
1) Unplug the dryer and
detach the vent hose from the
back.
2) With a helper, maneuver
the dryer out from the wall.
3) Check the lint trap inside
the dryer first: use a flexible
brush (like a soft bottle brush)
to catch larger lint clusters and
remove them. Vacuum out the
space using the extension attach-
ment on your vacuum cleaner.
4) Wipe or scrub away any
buildup of gunk around or inside
the lint trap, using water and a
little detergent.
5) Wipe the interior drum
clean.
6) Get behind the dryer and
inspect the exit chute to which
the dryer vent was attached. Use
your hand or the brush to sweep
out big clumps of lint; vacuum
out the chute.
7) Inspect the dryer vent and
clean the same way. Also inspect
and clean the outside exhaust
vent. If you want to clean the en-
tire vent run, a duct cleaning tool
is available at home-improve-
ment stores in 10- and 20-foot
lengths.
This is about the most you
can do to reduce lint buildup
in the dryer. Lint also might be
building up behind the drum, but
it's generally not recommended
that you disassemble the dryer -
have an appliance repair person
come and do that. Still, just this
little maintenance effort, done
twice a year, will significantly
improve the efficiency of your
dryer and reduce the risk of a
lint fire.
HOME TIP: Never allow

Go Green This Spring Cleaning Season
(ARA) - Is your spring
cleaning really as clean as
you think it is? Spring clean-
ing is supposed to be a ritual
of purging the accumulated
dirt, germs and odor from a
winter-weary home to create
a clean and healthy living
space. Unfortunately, the of-
ten caustic and toxic ingre-
dients used in most conven-
tional cleaning products can
be just as harmful as the dirt
and germs they are meant to
eliminate.
Even some so-called nat-
ural cleansers can contain
these same or similar nasty
ingredients. And you would
know this only if the manu-
facturer practices full dis-
closure of ingredients on its
labels, which is not required
on home care products.

Donald Houghton, a re-
tired school principal, has
joined the Quincy office of
Century 21 Abigail Adams.
Houghton, a life-long
Quincy resident of Quincy,
is the former principal of
Squantum School.
"The current economy
is challenging but there are
great opportunities out there
for the educated buyer,"
Houghton said.
"Mortgage rates remain
low and home prices are
now considered reason-
able. Government's stimu-
lus package provides a ter-
rific incentive for first time
homebuyers offering them

an $8000 Tax Credit."

Neighborhood Housing Services
First-Time Homebuyer
Neighborhood Hous-
ing Services and Citizens
Bank will co-host a first-ime
homebuyer workshop Tues-
day, April 21 from 5 to 9
p.m. and Thursday, April 23
from 5 to 9 p.m.
The workshop will be
held at Citizens Bank, 1200
Hancock St., Quincy.
Open to all, regardless
of income, these seminars
are educational and recom-
mended for all potential first
time homebuyers. Partici-
pants will have the opportu-
nity to speak with a lender
to discuss many mortgage
options.
Also covered at the
workshop will be the legal
aspects of buying a home,
importance of home and
lead inspections and other
information. This workshop
is a prerequisite for first time
homebuyer mortgage and
grant programs. Attendance
at both sessions is necessary
to receive your home buying
certificate.
There is a $15 fee per
person. Call 617-770-2227,
ext.31.
Think about it — when was
the last time you saw a full
ingredient listing on your
spray cleaner?
The best way to make
sure your living space is
clean and healthy is to use
safe, natural cleaning prod-
ucts you create yourself, us-
ing natural and inexpensive
ingredients you can pick up
at any natural grocery store.
It's cost-effective, not dif-
ficult and, like the task of
spring cleaning itself, it's
satisfying and rewarding.
You can craft your own,
homespun versions of ev-
erything from carpet cleaner
to furniture dusting polish
~ and have the satisfying
assurance that you really are
keeping your home green
and clean.
Whether you're shopping
for prepared natural clean-
ing solutions or making your
own, keep in mind that the
word "aromatherapy" is now
being applied to everything
scented — from dishwashing
liquid to laundry detergent.
The true practice of aro-
matherapy relies on using
pure essential oils extracted
from plants. According to
Tom Havran, aromatherapy
product developer at Aura
Cacia, "These natural plant
essences nurture us on men-
tal, emotional, physical and
even spiritual levels." He
adds, "While house cleaning
isn't exactly a spiritual exer-
cise, adding the effects and
properties of essential oils
to your homemade house-
hold products can enhance
the experience and the ef-
fectiveness of your task."
Essential oils have potent
antimicrobial effects along
with their clean, pleasant
natural aromas. Here are a
few "classic" homecare es-
sential oils suggested by

Madelene Semeria Earns
LMC Designation
Madelene Semeria of
CENTURY 21 Abigail Ad-
ams, Quincy, has success-
fully completed the Mas-
sachusetts Association of
Realtors Loss Mitigation
Certification Course (LMC)
offered by the Plymouth and
South Shore Association of
Realtors.
This comprehensive one-
day course was developed to
educate Realtors on the in-
tricate issues and problems
associated with transactions
involving foreclosures, short
sales, properties being sold
by auction, and bank-owned
(REO) real estate.
The course is taught by
national and local industry
experts in loss mitigation
and is designed to equip
Realtors with the tools and
knowledge needed to deal
with short sales on both
the buying and listing side;
the process, ethics, laws,
contracts and credit issues
involved and how best to
work with lenders.
The course addresses
the human element of these
MADELENE SEMERIA
transactions as consum-
ers face losing their homes.
"These transactions can be
hugely complicated with
many players, let alone the
emotional component," said
Semeria.
"I feel better equipped
to advocate and advise my
clients with the knowledge
gained from this course,"
she added.
Upon completion of the
Loss Mitigation Certifica-
tion Course, participants
earn lifetime usage of the
LMC designation and con-
tinuing education credits
necessary for real estate li-
cense renewal .
(ARA) - In bad economic
times, it's understandable
for people to worry more
about the security of their
homes and families. With
police departments across
the country bemg forced to
cut their budgets, homeown-
ers may feel anxious about
the safety in their commu-
nity.
"With so many people
out of work, many Ameri-
cans are worrying about a
possible increase in burglar-
ies, home invasions and oth-
er types of crimes that target
the safety of their homes,"
says Charles Hemphill, a
home security products ex-
pert for Montgomery Ward.
"People are spending less
discretionary income and
more time in the home. Yet
few families have the budget
to install a high-tech security
system and pay the monthly
subscription fee to protect
their peace of mind."
Improving your home's
security doesn't have to
be an expensive job left to
professionals. With a few
simple and affordable do-it-
Tips Toward Sprinkler Season Smarts
(NAPS) - You might be
able to save money and pro-
tect the environment simply
by giving your in-ground
sprinkler system an annuaJ
checkup.
Here are some tips:
• Get with the program.
Check your irrigation con-
trols and programs. Make
sure your settings are appro-
priate for expected seasonal
rainfall.
• Clear your heads. Look
for rocks, dirt, sand and
other debris that may block
the even flow of water from
sprinkler heads; uneven
distribution can lead to too
much water in some areas
and not enough in others.
• Conduct a "can test" for
even watering. Place open,
empty tin cans or paper cups
every 10 to 15 feet through-
out your yard and begin wa-
tering. Compare the level of
water in each receptacle If
the water levels differ sig-
nificantly, adjust the flow
and spray pattern of the
sprinklers as needed.
• Out with old, in with
the new. Replace cracked,
chipped or worn plastic noz-
zles. A broken sprinkler can
wreak havoc on lawns and
water bills.
• Don't be deceived by
warm air temperatures. That
may not mean increased
ground temperature. Use a

small shovel to make sure
the ground below the lawn
and garden is frost-free to
a full 12 inches. Irrigating
while the ground is frozen
may result in a burst pipe.
• Follow the rule of six
(inches). Water enough to
saturate the soil six inches
deep. Poke a screwdriver
into the soil to see how deep
the water is being absorbed.
If the screwdriver meets re-
sistance caused by dry-hard-
ened soil less than six inches
from the surface, adjust wa-
tering times to increase soil
saturation.
• Flush it out. Twist two
sprinkler heads completely
off and then turn on the
sprinkler system for two or
three minutes. This should
flush out any debris and re-
lieve air pressure in under-
ground pipes.
• Value your valves. A
leaky valve will waste wa-
ter. Inspect each valve to
make sure it is operating
properly. Overly wet areas
on the lawn, resulting in
muddy patches, may be a
sign of a leaky valve.
yourself improvements, you
can improve security and
address your anxiety over
possible risks to your home
and family.
Make Your Home Look
Unattractive to Burglar
Burglars commonly look
for homes that appear un-
occupied, or offer conceal-
ment for their crime, such as
overgrown bushes or shrubs
that block the view of the
front door from the road. If
you're going away on vaca-
tion for a few days, be sure
to suspend mail and news-
paper delivery; an overflow-
ing mailbox or multiple pa-
pers lying on the driveway
alert thieves that you're not
at home.
Ensure the exterior of
your home is well-lit. Al-
ways leave the front porch
light on at night - all night
- and install time-activated
sensors to turn lights on when
you're away. If you prefer
not to have lights on outside
all night, consider installing
motion-activated lights that
will switch on when some-
one approaches your home.
Motion-activated LED
Lights, available online at
Montgomery Ward, mount
easily on steps, porches, bal-
conies, gates and decks. The
lights are waterproof and a
passive infrared motion sen-
sor detects movement in the
dark and shines five bright,
white LED lights for 12 sec-
onds - long enough to scare
off potential intruders. Or,
for battery-free operation,
try motion-activated solar-
powered lights.
Don't Make Access Easy
The front door and the
garage door are the two most
common access points for
thieves. Never leave either
unlocked and be sure your
front door has a deadbolt
lock - the kind that can only
be opened with a key from
either side. If your garage
is attached and offers di-
rect access into your house,
never leave the garage door
open for an extended period
of time and always lock —
again, with a deadbolt - the
door that leads from the ga-
rage into your house.
If you must leave your
car sitting on your driveway
overnight, always lock it
and never leave a spare key
or garage door opener inside
the car. Thieves know that
by breaking into your car,
they may find a way to ac-
cess your home.
Beef Up Security with
Cost-effective Devices
"There are many simple-
to-install, economical de-
vices that can help enhance
your home's security," says
Hemphill. Here are a few
items, all available online
from Montgomery Ward,
which can improve your
home security in just a few
minutes:
* Telespy Intrusion De-
tector - The detector looks
and functions like a normal
telephone, but when you're
away you can set its special
motion detector sensor to
alert you when the device
detects motion inside your
home. The device calls a
number you preprogram
into it — a cell, office phone
or friend's home phone -
and allows you to listen to
what's going on inside your
house for up to 30 seconds.

Economic Stress-Busters
There's economic doom and
gloom in the newspaper over
breakfast, and more bad news on
the TV with dinner: It can take a
toll on your frame of mind and
load you down with stress. But
you don't have to succumb to the
negativity and fears over the cur-
rent economy. You can control
your response to it.
Step one is to look at your fi-
nancial reality. Write down the
amounts of all your monthly bills.
Write down the balances you owe
for credit cards and loans, down
to the penny. Write down all your
income. At that point you'll know
the true state of your finances, and
knowing the truth is always better.
One of the most important
things you can do in times of
stress is guard your health. Stress
can take a toll on your body and
make you susceptible to illnesses -
which are expensive.
Lxx)k for ways to reduce the
amount of stress in your life. Here
are some ideas:
• Get some exercise and re-
lease stress-busting endorphins. It
doesn't require an expensive gym
membership. Build a snowman
with the kids, go for a run or walk
around the block. Even 15 minutes
a day outside has health benefits.
* Replace your garage
door opener remotes with
a Keyless Entry System on
the outside of the garage.
The system reads your fin-
gerprint to identify you as
someone authorized to enter
the garage. You can program
the system to recognize up
to 10 people's fingerprints.
Don't want to get out of the
car to open the garage door?
Mount the system on a post
beside the driveway so that
you can reach it from the
driver's side window.
* Still want a home secu-
rity system, but hesitant to
take on the costs associated
with professional installa-
tion? It's possible to create
your own low-cost secu-
rity system, tailored to your
needs, with programmable
components that interface
with one another. Start with
a command center, avail-
able for less than $35 and
add components to monitor
doors, windows and garage
entries for around $20 per
component.

especially if the sun is out.
• Find things to laugh about.
Like exercise, laughter releases
endorphins.
• Bring out the old-fashioned
board games. Dig out your old mu-
sic and play it loud.
• Scour the entertainment sec-
tion of the newspaper for free ac-
tivities, and make a list.
• Go through the library's maga-
zine archive and pick out a few with
topics that are new to you. Thumb
through the magazines at breakfast
instead of the daily paper.
• Get started on a vegetable
garden. No matter what space you
have, you can grow something. If
you end up with surplus, donate it
to the local food bank.
• Do something for others
whenever you can. No matter your
situation, there's someone whose
situation is worse.
• Build rewards into your week
for both you and your family,
whether it's splurging on a cake
mix or going to an event from your
list of free and low-cost activities.
Look closely at what you can
and cannot control in your life.
While you can't control the whole
economy, you can control your little
part of it and how you react to it.

cannot personally answer reader
questions, but will incorporate
them into his column whenever
possible. Write to him in care oj

Hard Work In The Classroom And The Gym
Team's Success Extends
Beyond The Mats
rx,<C^XXX^<XAXX</<,<^X<^<X^XXA>XxXX^^
SUN Sports
By SEAN BRENNAN
Wrestling is a sport in
which individual greatness
guarantees team success.
This winter's Quincy High
School wrestling team is
proof that this statement is
truth.
Behind a dedicated and
determined senior class, a
strong and talented junior
class and up-and-coming
sophomore and freshmen
classes, the Presidents fin-
ished their first season in the
Patriot League's Keenan Di-
vision as title-holders, cap-
turing the division champi-
onship on the strength of an
impressive team record of
4-0- 1 overall . This team suc-
cess came about because of
the willingness of Quincy 's
top-wrestlers to work hard
at their craft on the mats (in-
season and off), but maybe
more importantly, carrying
this hard work, profession-
alism and sportsmanship
back into the classrooms
and hallways of QHS.
"The overarching theme
to this team is that they all
worked so hard and are all
very dedicated to the sport."
said QHS head coach Pat-
rick Lane. "They are all ac-
tive athletically, with many
playing two or three sports,
and to do so they have to be
academically eligible, and
rightfully so, they way the
high schools accomplish
this is they have the grades
come out before the sea-
son. And it is either hit-or-
miss with these standards,
but with these kids and the
work they put in every day
at practice and in the class-
rooms is impressive. We did
not have a problem academ-
ically with any of them all
season long."
Fortunately for Lane
and his staff, this year's se-
nior class was stacked full
of wrestlers willing to lay
it on the line for the team.
and at the same time, keep-
ing school at the forefront.
Leading the way was senior
captain Paul Reggiannini
Reggiannini, whose in-
dividual achievements in
2(K)8-()9 included a 25-5
regular season record in the
l4()-pound class, a second-
place finish at the Weymouth
lournament, a fifth-place
finish at the Lowell Invi-
tational, a third-place fin-
ish at the Division II States
and a top-6 finish at the
All-States, is also active in
the QHS band (percussion),
the NQHS-QHS combined
band and is a high-achiev-
ing student-athlete. And. ac-
cording to him, it is the sport
of wrestling that has helped
him to be able to balance all
aspects of high school life.
"It is the discipline of the
sport and how much time
you have to put into it that
is the biggest factor for me,"
said Reggiannini . "You have
to learn how to manage your
time. It keeps me busy. 1 go
from school to practice to
back home to do my home-
work. There really isn't any
time to be lazy.
"You never stop liv-
ing the wrestling lifestyle.
1 know that sounds corny
but you really never do and
it has helped me be a better
student "
Reggiannini, who will
be graduating from QHS
in June, is preparing him-
self for the next stage of his
life. He is currently looking
at U Mass- Dartmouth and
Western New England Col-
lege, and although he loves
the sport, it will not be the
biggest factor in his college
decision.
"At Western NE 1 could
wrestle, but it doesn't really
matter to me." he added. "I
don't know yet what I want
to do, but 1 am thinking I
may like to be an elementa-
ry school teacher. But 1 am
going to keep my options
open
"I loved high school It
went by too last but it was a
great experience."
Reggiannini was one
of twelve seniors on the
Keenan Division champion-
ship team. He witnessed fel-
low seniors Zack Manning
(22-5 overall), Dan Quinn
(16-2). Scott Griffin (2.^-6),
Tyler Balcam (17-12). Liam
Keogh(14-12).SleveKamb,
laylor Radcliffe. James
Wilbur, Steve Shattuck and
Mike Brown take care of
business and help the team
in every match this season.
He also wrestled with Salma
Goummih, the only female
on the team.
Goummih, a National
Honor Society member and
a varsity tennis player, took
to wrestling this sea.son to
help her stay focused in the
winter and to prepare herself
for the spring sports season.
"I chose to wrestle to get
myself ready for tennis, but
1 ended up reallv liking it,"
Goummih said "Before a
match I would get a little
nervous knowing I would
have to wrestle a guy. but
once it started it was all
about getting points for the
team.
"This is my last year at
QHS and 1 wanted to do
something different. That is
why I chose to wrestle. This
winter helped me get more
mentally tough and pre-
pared for school and tennis.
The whole experience was
worth it and the team treated
me no differently than they
would anyone else."
Goummih, who is look-
ing at Tufts I'niversitv.
Boston University. Suffolk
University and Northeastern
and plans on majoring in the
sciences, will graduate in
June.
With so much talent grad-
uating, you would think that

Quincy's Dave Jaehnig Leaves QPD To Provide Free
Legacy at Westfield State Basic Boating Safety Course
Hard work, passion, con-
sistency, versatility.
These qualities are all
part of the makeup of an
exceptional athlete. Basket-
ball player Dave Jaehnig, a
Quincy resident, exhibited
all of these qualities during
his four years at Westfield
State.
Westfield State head bas-
ketball coach Rich Sutter has
seen many standout players
emerge during his 1 1 years
at the helm of the Owls bas-
ketball program. However,
Jaehnig s four years have
been played at another level.
"The best, without ques-
tion," said Sutter, when
asked to compare Jaehnig
to others who have passed
through his program. "And I
think he will end up among
the best in school history."
Jaehnig ranks eighth on
the Owls' all-time scoring
list with 1 .3 10 career points.
It is not just his scoring abil-
ity that made the 6-4 guard
one of Westfield State's all-
time best. As he grew as a
player, so did his versatility.
During his senior season.
Jaehnig led Westfield State
in scoring (14.9 points per
game), rebounding (6.8),
steals and assists.
"He shows up in so many
categories. Rebounding,
steals, assists. Dave takes
charges, dives for loose balls,
basically whatever it takes to
win," said Sutter. "A good
basketball player knows
what needs to get done. He
does a tremendous amount
of things in a lot of areas."
Westfield State senior.
Matt Badjo, played enough
with Jaehnig to realize how
much of an impact he can
have on a team.
"It is his overall court
presence. He is the backbone
of this team. When the game
is on the line, you know he
can get the job done," said
Badjo.
Jaehnig also knows the
importance of being able to
adapt to the teams needs.
This was especially true
when an injury to Badjo, the
starting center and low-post
scoring threat, went down
with an ankle injury during
the Bahamas Classic in Jan-
The Quincy Police Ma-
rine Unit, in partnership
with the Massachusetts En-
vironmental Police, will be
holding three Basic Boating
Safety Courses, at no cost to
the public. These courses,
which are designed for per-
sons of all ages and regard-
less of boating skill, will be
held at the Houghs Neck
Maritime Center, 137. Bay
View Avenue.
The course dates are:
Saturdays, April 1 1 , 1 8 &
15 -8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Saturdays, May 2, 9 & 16
-8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Mondays, June 8, 15 &
22 -6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
These courses are feder-
ally approved, and course
completion will allow per-
sons to legally operate a
boat in states that require
completion of a Basic Boat-
ing Safety Course. Everyone
who completes a course will
be issued a Basic Boating
Safety Certificate. Comple-
tion of a course by persons
age 1 2- 1 6 will allow them to
operate a motorboat without
adult supervision. In addi-
tion, some insurance com-
panies offer policy discounts
for customers that complete
this course.

sachusetts Environmental
Police at 508-759-0002.

uary. After dropping both of
their games in the Bahamas,
Jaehnig poured in 25 points
to go along with six steals,
five rebounds and four as-
sists in a huge conference
opening win at Bridgewater
State.
"I felt like the scoring
needed to be picked up. It
was just a matter of adjust-
ing to what we needed," said
Jaehnig, a graduate of Bos-
ton CoWege High School in
Dorchester.
During his four years
at Westfield State, Jaehnig
earned numerous individual
awards, including MASCAC
Rookie of the Year and All-
Conference honors during
his junior and senior sea-
sons. More importantly, the
team enjoyed great success
under his direction, wimiing
more games (11) with him in
uniform than any other four-
year span in school history.
It was that kind of leader-
ship that caught the attention
of both his head coach and
teammates.
"It is his leadership on
the floor. Dave is consistent
and works hard. He provides
a good role model for the
younger players. He lets his
performance speak for it-
self," said senior point guard
Chris Kinback.
Sutter added: "Intensity is
what you look for in an ath-
lete. And he has that."
The Westfield State bas-
ketball program, clearly,
has been fortunate to have
a player like Dave Jaehnig
putting on an Owls jersey
over the past four seasons
and a big part of his decision
to come to Westfield was his
brother, Pat, a former captain
for the Westfield State base-
ball team.
"He was definitely an in-
fluence," said Jaehnig of his
brother. "1 would also say
that the new gym (Wood-
ward Center) and knowing
some of the recruits were
also factors in my decision
to come here. 1 knew I could
come here and help the team
out. I realized I could make
an impact."
Another Jaehnig family
member has also had a huge
influence on him-his father,
Mark.
"My dad, from a young
age helped instill both my
love of basketball and the
fundamentals of the game,"
added Jaehnig.
It is that love of the game
that shows still today with
Dave Jaehnig. He often re-
turns to his hometown of
Quincy to give back to the
basketball program that gave
him his start.
"1 like to go back home
and hang around the gym
and help out refereeing at
the youth games. It is nice
to help teach and instill the
fundamentals that I received
at that age," he said.
This passion has enabled
Dave Jaehnig to put a sig-
nificant stamp on the West-
field State program. His
all-around play, his ability
to play any position and his
desire to win, have made
him one of the best players
in school history.
Coach Sutter is proud and
not surprised with the way
Jaehnig's collegiate career
evolved.
"I told him I felt like he
could become one of the
first players to make it to
the (Westfield State) Hall of
Fame under my tenure. And
I think when it is all said and
done, he will."

Lexington Christian Academy
Sends Local Senior to All-Star Game
Quincy resident Matt
Gibson will play in the P'
Annual New England Prep
School All-Star Men's Bas-
ketball Game, to be held
at Springfield College on
March 22"*^. Gibson will join
21 other top-caliber Inde-
pendent-school players from
throughout New England in
the showcase game. "It's
an honor to be recognized,
and great to know that all
the hard work has paid off,"
said, Gibson, who plans on
playing basketball in college
next year. "It's a great way
to finish my career."
Gibson, who came to
LCA at the start of his junior
year, led the team in scor-
ing and assists this year by
averaging 16.8 points and
4.5 assists per game while
also placing second on the
team with 4.5 rebounds per
contest. He connected on
32 three-point field goals
this season while starting in
all 21 of the team's games.
"I've only been here at LCA
for two years, but have had
great opportunities to refine
my game and play with great
teammates and coaches,"
said Gibson, who was a 1"-
Team All-League player for
the second consecutive year
at LCA. "To have a chance
to represent LCA in the
game will be a lot of fun."
The 5-10 Senior Point
Guard honed his skills on

Cholesterol Tests
Keep Multiplying
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My
husband had bl(M>d work for a
cholesterol study. It included
something called lipopnitein (a),
something we never heard of.
It was over the normal value. I
called my doctor, but he was on
vacation, so I left word for the
covering doctor. .\ phone call
came from his secretary, who
said: ''He didn't say anything, so
I guess it's OK." I want answers.
Will you explain this to me? - /•'.
ANSWHR: Lip(iprotein (a),
speaker) as "lipoprotein little a." is
another cholesterol traction that
is an independent nsk for artery
clogging and heart attacks. Its dif-
ferent from LDL cholesterol (bad
cholesterol) and HDL cholesterol
(good cholesterol).
FrankJy, at the present, doctors
find It hard to counsel patients
about lipoprotein (a), so most
don't order it.
Now emphasis is placed on
lowenng LDL cholesterol (your
husband's value is very good) and
raising HDL cholesterol (again
your husband's was very good).
i will trade places with him if he
wishes, and I'll take his lipoprotein
(a) reading to boot.
I can tell you what lowers lipo-
protein (a). Niacin does. There is
no proof, however, that lowering
it lowers the risk of a heart attack.
Daily exercise of 30 minutes also
brings it down, if the doctor ap-
proves of exercise for a person. As
does losing weight if that applies.
A low-fat diet high in vegetables,
fruits and grains is another way of
reducing lipoprotein (a). From his
other cholesterol values, I'd say he
out the year.
Here is a listing of some
of QMCs upcoming com-
munity programs.
must be doing some of this anyway
All of this, except for niacin, is the
much-preached recipe for heart
health regardless of lipoprotein (a)
Until told otherwise, put lipo-
protein (a) on a back burner.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: None
of my 21 grandchildren has had
their tonsils out. .411 of my seven
children did. Is this no longer
done? I wish doctors would
make up their minds about these
things. -B J?.
ANSWhR When vour children
were young, it was almost standard
practice to remove tonsils as a wa\
to protect against strep throat. We
now know this isn't necessarv, and
we now have antibiotics to treat
strep throat
Children who have repeated strep
throat infections still have their ton-
sils removed, but the operation is no
longer done for prevention.
♦ ♦*
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I
work out at home on an exercise
bike and a treadmill. On days my
knees are bothering me, I don't
do either. One doctor suggests
that I cease the exercise bike
but use the treadmill. The other
says just the opposite. They both
can't be right. Who is? -R.G.
ANSWER: You can answer this
one for yourself. Which hurts your
knees? I find that bike pedaling is
harder on my knees. Others find
running a bigger source of pain.

LOW-CARB DIET MAY SACRIRCE FRESH BREATH
If you are eating a diet that tooth decay) is a frequent
Is low in carbohydrates to
lose weight, you may have a
problem with bad breath. It is
estimated that nearly 63% of
people on low-carb diets suf-
fer from halitosis. The reason
for this rests with the fact that
a certain amount of carbohy-
drates is necessary for the
body to effectively burn fat.
Without these needed carbs,
the body must modify the
way it burns fat by produc-
ing "ketones," which are the
chemicals that impart a bad
odor to breath. If you are a
fan of diets such as the South
Beach or the Atkins Diet, you
may want to brush more of-
ten, drink more water, and
chew more sugarless gum.
Bad breath can be the
result of a wide variety of
causes. Although dental dis-
ease (gum disease and/or
culprit, there is no shortage
of other potential sources. If
the onset of your bad breath
was after your last dental
checkup, it would be a good
idea to have another dental
exam, if only to rule out the
usual suspects. We keep
abreast of all the new tech-
niques that are available in
today's world of dentistry.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Although yi>u tend to bore eas-
ily and leave others to finish
what you start, this is one time
when you'd be wise to complete
things on your own. Then you
can move on to something new.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your indecision about a person-
al situation might come out of
those mixed signals you're get-
ting. Best nut to make any com-
mitments until yt)U have a better
sense of how things are going.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
A dispute appears to be getting
out of hand. But you should be
able to step in and bring it all
under control soon. Be patient.
News about a potential career
move might be delayed.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Career obligations could inter-
fere with important personal
plans. But using a combination
of common sense and compro-
mise helps resolve the dilemma
to everyone's satisfaction.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A
stressful situation drains some
of your energy reserves. But you
soon bounce back in time to fin-
ish your tasks and enjoy a well-
deserved weekend getaway.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) This is a good time to
throw a party for friends and
colleagues and surprise them
with your dazzling domestic
skills. You might also want to
reconsider that career move
you put on hold.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) A sudden change of
mind by someone you relied
on could cause a delay in mov-
ing ahead with your plans. But
those whom you've helped out
before are prepared to return
the favor
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21 ) You start the week
feeling too shy to speak up in
front of others. However, your
self assurance soon takes over,
giving you the confidence you
need to make yourself heard.
SA(;iTTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) One way
to deal with a pesky personal
dilemma this week is to meet
it head-on. Insist on an expla-
nation of why the situation
reached this point and what can
be done to change it.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) The creative
Capricorn finds several outlets
for her or his talents this week
Also note that while a roman-
tic connection looks promising,
remember to allow it to develop
on its own.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) You stand out this
week as the best friend a friend
can have. But be careful that
you don't take too many bows,
or you might see gratitude re-
placed with resentment.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) What seems to be an ideal
investment should be checked
out thoroughly before you snap
at the offer and find yourself
hooked by an expensive scam.
BORN THIS WEEK Your
wisdom is matched by your gen-
erosity. You are a person who
people know they can rely on.

fOR TH£ ^i£K
Someone once said, "A ship in a harbor is
safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
... No ship ever left its harbor, but what its
mariners were taking a chance - a chance
that their skills were more potent than the
SCOTT DEWARE stonny waves.
For that matter, we woukl never have had a country if there had not
been brave, adventurous souk who were willing to take a chance to see
if there really was "a pot of gold at the rainbow's foot.'' In taking this
chance ... using their of^xMtunities ... they founded and helped make
a nation . . . Charles F. Kettering put it this way - 'There will ahvays
be a frontier where there is an open mind and a willing hand."
What do you want most out of life? l^e a chance on going after it
''Set sail gallantly." And make the most out of your life and your talents
and your o|;^)ortunities. You are at the hefan of the ship of your life . . .
and only by taking a chance - well-thought out in advance - can you
make "port at the rainbow's foot"
'There is no security on this earth. There is only (q)portunity." -

CHARLES W. FLAGG
Wide Photos and supervisor
of national events. He prid-
ed himself on his accom-
plishments in photography,
which included a nomina-
tion for the Pulitzer Prize
in 1955, for a prize-winning
photo of Hurricane Carole,

in the Encyclopedia Britan-
nica 1955 Book of the Year.
Mr. Flagg also taught
photography at both the
Rhode Island School of
Photography and Quincy
College. Teaching and men-
toring students proved to be
a great accomplishment to
him as he maintained close
contact with many of his
students for the remainder
of his life. Passing on what
he learned in his career and
life was very important to
him.
Known by most as Char-
lie, he will be remembered
most by his family and
friends for his pride in his
military service (and a loyal
and life member of Disabled
American Veterans), his ac-
complishments in the world
of photography and photo-
journalism, his love of the
ocean and Martha's Vine-
yard, Quincy and Braintree,
and by the close circle of
friends he has kept since his
youth and his dedication to
his own family. For those
others that knew Chariie in
passing will always remem-
ber his wittiness and keen
sense of humor, someone
you could never forget.

Rattlesnakes Preventing Expansion
Pine Hill Cemetery
Low On Gravesites
By LAURA GRIFFIN
It you're not ready or
near ready to fill a grave
at Pine Hill Cemetery, you
can't buy one.
Thai's because the city's
available gravesites are
dwindling fast and rattle-
snakes are preventing ex-
pansion.
As a result, gravesites are
now being sold on an "as
needed basis only." accord-
ing to Kristen Powers, Ex-
ecutive Director of the Park,
Forestry and Cemetery De-
partments.
At this time, there are
only 288 single lots avail-
able at Pine Hill and 76
double lots, according to
Powers. Single lots actually
are double occupancy while
double lots can hold four
persons.
Powers said that the city
owns 15 to 20 acres at Pine
Hill Cemetery but those
same acres are a habitat for
a species of endangered rat-
tlesnakes and the city can't
expand.
To date, the city has not
gained clearance for expan-
sion from the Mas.sachusetts
Natural Heritage and En-
dangered Species Program,
the state agency protecting
the snakes.
"We hit a snag with the
endangered species rattle-
snakes," Powers told Fi-
nance Committee members,
but added. "We are still pur-
suing the expansion."
Richard McNeice, Cem-
etery Foreman said there
KRISTEN POWERS, executive director of Park, Forestr> and
Cemetery Departments, and Project Manager Paul Franz pre-
sented budget information to the City Council's Finance Com-
mittee. Quincy Sun Photo/Laura Griffin
are, also, some wetland con-
cerns. McNeice said some
800 to 1,000 graves could
be sited on a cemetery acre.
"Everybody's running
into the same problem across
the country," said McNeice
of the shortage of cemetery
expansion spaces.
McNeice said the board
is considering such ideas as
cremation garden areas and
the possibility of closing
off several streets in Mount
Wollaston Cemetery with a
view to creating new lots.
Powers and her staff pro-
vided an overview and cost
estimates to the Finance
Committee during last
week's preliminary budget
discussion.
Chairman John Keenan
suggested that the cemetery
funds should be separated
into an enterprise account
and the department should
be self-supporting.
Keenan questioned
whether cities and towns
should be in the cemetery
business as the city's de-
partment required a $90,000
boost from taxpayers.
"It doesn't seem as if the
revenue is there," said Pow-
ers who also cited the value
of having a city-owned cem-
etery with reasonable rates
for all citizens in contrast
to the higher cost at private
cemeteries.
"It warrants a look," said
Keenan, suggesting leasing
cemeteries to a for-profit
company. "We're operat-
ing at a loss. We're going to
have to look at those types
of opportunities."

Backs Faxon Track
Mayor Hails Decision But McCarthy Says
Administration 'Not Looking For Best Location '
By TOM HENSHAW
Yet another voice has
been heard in the continuing
battle between Faxon Field
and Pageant Field over the
siting of a track facility, this
one on the side of Mayor
Tom Koch at the expense of
the School Committee.
Stephen J. Finnegan,
general counsel for the Mas-
sachusetts Association of
School Committees, ren-
dered the opinion that the
city of Quincy, therefore the
mayor, controls enough of
Faxon Field to permit con-
struction of the track.
He noted that Faxon
Field contains three parcels
of land with the former Cen-
ter for Technical Training
occupying one and school
use of the other two limited
to fall football practice, the
rest subject to Park Depart-
ment permit authority.
"Indeed," he wrote in a
letter to the School Commit-
tee, "the installation of the
track on the portion of Fax-
on Field for park and play-
ground purposes is similar
to the prior construction and
installation of tennis courts,
by the city, on said property
and under its control, which
use has long been compat-
ible with the adjacent school
property.
"Committee control is
circumscribed by state law
and the city of Quincy char-
ter to the extent of the school
buildings and grounds con-
nected therewith.
THOMAS KOCH
"It is my opmion that
the grounds connected with
the school building do not
extend to the park and play-
ground area of Faxon Field,
a portion of which contains
wetlands.
"For the reasons above
referenced it is my opinion
that the city of Quincy has
control over Faxon Field
land not otherwise used for
school purposes, sufficient
to allow for the installation
of a track on said land with-
out consent of the Commit-
tee."
Dave McCarthy, vice
chairman of the School
Committee and an advocate
of Pageant Field as the site
of the track, was quick to
respond.
"To ask for the School
Committee opinion or vote
and ignore the vote after
receiving a 'no' answer did
not surprise me," he said.
"The area known as Fax-
on Field has been designated
as a school area or resource
for Quincy High School for
DAVID McCarthy
over 40 years, for school
buildings, student parking,
football practices and scrim-
mage games.
"The vote against plac-
ing the track on Faxon Field
was executed for two rea-
sons, first the safety of hun-
dreds of children and fami-
lies present at a track event
would overwhelm that area.
Traffic would become a tre-
mendous problem as well as
parking.
"The administration is
not looking for the best loca-
tion for the track but simply
a location to say 'a track is
in place' protecting Pageant
Field, which in my opinion
would be well-served as a
track location."
Koch, who is chairman
of the School Committee
by virtue of his position as
mayor, hailed Finnegan's
opinion.
"I have said from Day
One that we are going to
build a first class facility
that the entire community

DPW Officials Tackle
Workplace Abuses
By LAURA (;RIFFIN
Administrators have been
working for over a year to
rein in workplace abuses at
the Department of Public-
Works (DPW), according to
Business Manager Michael
Coffey.
Coffey told Finance
Committee members last
week there were "a lot of is-
sues" associated with public
works employee problems
that involve a very small
percentage of the DPW
workforce.
According to Coffey,
Mayor Thomas Koch told
him and DPW Director Lar-
ry Prendeville last winter
when they were hired, "Get
in there and clean things
up."
However, that's easier
said than done, apparently,
because Coffey described

tions. Koch said the meet-

more meetings are likely to

"We are looking forward
to hearing the ideas, con-
cerns and questions from the
community, and it is excit-
ing to be able to talk about
something so positive in
such difficult times," Koch
said. "We want to hear from

Patrick Toland White: Heroes Are Honoring His Memory
Heroes.
The word evokes images of gifted athletes,
war-winning generals and inspiring Presidents.
But not ail heroes throw the game-winning touch-
down in a Super Bowl or lead battled-tested troops to
victory.
Sometimes, a hero is a student who volunteers to
make their community a better place. Or a youngster
who has become a role model to his or her peers by
overcoming a physical disability.
These are the types of local kids who in their own
unique way make Quincy a better place.
And they deserve to be called heroes. Or junior
heroes - an honor bestowed by the Kiwanis Club of
Quincy.
A few years ago, Quincy Kiwanians started recog-
nizing local students who excel not only in the class-
room but outside it. Some volunteer for worthy causes.
Some are simply good neighbors. And others are ac-.
knowledged for fighting daily struggles that the rest of
us take for granted.
At a recent breakfast, Quincy Kiwanis inducted an-
other 15 youngsters into its Junior Heroes Honor Roll.
(See related story on Page 16.)
It is a prestigious honor, in part, because of the name
of the award itself.
Officially - and fittingly - the honor is known as the
Patrick Toland White Junior Hero Award. Patrick - a
very personable, outgoing and quick-witted kid who
loved baseball as much as he did just chilling with his
buddies - died Nov. 30, 2005 at the tender age of 15
after a courageous battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a
form of tissue cancer.
"Whitey" was a freshman at North Quincy High
School at the time of his passing. He would have grad-
uated this spring.
"Patrick liked to make his friends happy, he liked it
when everybody was upbeat," recalls his father, Paul.
"He always had a smile on his face. He didn't want
anyone to feel sorry for himself - no sympathy what-
soever," his mom, Barbara, adds.
It was because of this positive attitude and upbeat
personality the Kiwanis Club dedicated the award in
Patrick's memory.
"We were honored to have Quincy Kiwanis name
the award after Patrick," says Barbara, 47, who works
as an OR nurse at Tufts Medical Center. "I think we
felt embarrassed and honored at the same time."
"We were very proud," adds Paul, also 47, who is
employed as a mailer at The Boston Globe. "In the be-
ginning, we weren't really sure what the award really
was. But then we got to the ceremony and saw what
these amazing kids do, it's unreal."
While Patrick would have been honored and prob-
ably a little embarrassed by the award that bears his
name, his parents agree their son definitely would have
appreciated it, too.
"He was very gracious and thankful of all the things

PATRICK TOLAND WHITE hoists the 2004 Boston
Red Sox World Series trophy at a benefit at the World
Trade Center in Boston in May, 2005. Patrick - who
would have been a senior at North Quincy High School
this spring - died six months later from cancer.
that people did for him," Barbara says, noting the spe-
cial relationships that Patrick formed with the medical
staff who cared for him at the Dana-Farber Cancer In-
stitute. "They still talk about Patrick to this day."
And why not? Patrick was the type of kid you
couldn't forget. That feeling, indeed, was mutual.
"Every person who Patrick met was impressed by
the fact that he could look at them right in eye and lis-
ten to what they had to say and talk back and act like
he was interested with what they were saying," Paul
explains.
"And it wasn't phony; it was legit. I'm not sure if
it was because when he was little he was exposed to
so many doctors and nurses and adults but he could
have a conversation with adults and have a smile on
his face."
Certainly the Little League community in Quincy
remembers Patrick who was first diagnosed with can-
cer when he was 9. When he underwent chemotherapy
treatments at the Dana-Farber, he insisted nurses put
his IV lines in his left arm because he was a right-
handed pitcher in Little League. It was not uncommon
for Patrick to vomit between innings, and then return
to the pitcher's mound and fire a few more strikes.
In Patrick's honor, Quincy Youth Baseball started
a Jimmy Fund tournament in his honor. The event has
raised thousands of dollars for the Jimmy Fund while
recalling Whitey's all-too-brief but shining life every
August when the games are played at Adams Field.
The Junior Hero Award also perpetuates Patrick's
memory because of the outstanding character, leader-
ship and resolve the recipients exhibit.
"It makes you think that people haven't forgotten
him," Barbara says of the award. "That's always the
thing you think about - so he's gone - but he's always
in our and other people's thoughts." His father adds,
"It's nice to know that he made an impression on peo-
ple."
The junior heroes, in turn, continue to impress the
Whites year after year.
"These kids are un-he-liev-ahlej' Barbara says em-
phasizing each syllable. "Credit to them and their par-
ents and their family. All these kids are so giving and
thinking outside the box "
"They help people they don't even know," Paul
adds.
And what would Patrick think of these junior he-
roes?
"I can hear him now - "are you kidding me. Mom?
I can't believe these kids, they're unbelievable," Bar-
bara says.
The Junior Hero award has become a family af-
fair for the Whites. Not only was Patrick one of the
first recipients, his 14-year-old twin sisters - Katie
and Meghan who are eighth graders at Central Middle
School - received the honor a few years ago for raising
money for victims of Hurricane Katrina as well as the
foundation named for their brother.
The Whites don't necessarily consider their son -
who had hoped to work in the medical field helping
sick kids or be a baseball broadcaster - a hero. Instead,
they prefer to think of Patrick as a special boy who
strived to live a normal life under the most difficult of
circumstances.
"What made him special was how he was able to be
normal. He never once said 'woe is me' or T feel sorry
for myself," Paul says, he eyes reddening.
In fact, he was more concerned with the health of
others than his own.
"When he was undergoing treatments, Patrick used
to say to me, 'I'm not having a bad day, look at that
little baby over there - that baby's having a bad day.
That's not fair Mom for a little baby to be sick,'" Bar-
bara says.
"I think the one thing that we'll always remember
about Patrick is that he always had a smile on his face
- no matter what. I think that's what a lot of the kids
would say, too. Even if he was having a bad day, he'd
have a smile on his face.
"In six years, he never said life's not fair," Paul con-
tinues. "The funny thing is, he wouldn't have changed
any of it. Because he knows that because he got sick
he got to meet some very special people and got to
do some wonderful things." Among them: becoming
friends with former Red Sox outfielder Trot Nixon;
getting VIP treatment at Disney World and Red Sox
spring training; and riding with his family on a float
in the Sox's 2004 championship rolling rally through
Boston.
"Patrick wanted to live and he wanted to be here, no
question about it, but he wouldn't have changed any-
thing," he father says, his voice softening with emo-
tion. "He loved the people at the Dana-Farber Clinic
- that was really special to him that he got to be friends
with the nurses, the doctors and the other patients that
he met.
"His doctor said he did the best with the hand he
was dealt."
Sounds like a hero to me.

1973
36 Years Ago
THIS IS A 1959 real photo postcard reproduction show-
ing the first stage of construction of the present seanall
along Wollaston Beach. The wall was built with 20-to-30
foot-long interlocking sheet-steel-pilings driven into the
ground forming a 1 '^'*-niile long corrugated bulkhead.
The top of the bulkhead was then capped with the con-
crete wall that remains there today. The steel pilings are
shown in this view as they were delivered. Spread out
side-by-side along the roadway visible just over the top
of the sign. The building in the top center was a bowling
alley on the corner of Vassal Street. To the left of it was
Elsie's Cafe. Since before the Boulevard was built in
1908, the bowling alley site had been home to Stuart's
boat vard at the mouth of Sachem's Brook. After a fire
destroyed Stuart's building the Merrymount Dance Hall
was built here in 1925. It attracted rowdy crowds from
Boston and beyond. Faced with fierce neighborhood
outrage the city rescinded the dance hall's license and
it was converted into a roller skating rink, .*hich after
a few years also burned to the ground. Then, in 1940,
O'Lindy's Boulevard Bow ling Alleys with 18candlepin-
bowiing lanes were built here. It later became known
as the Wollaston Boulevard Bowladrome and a second
floor was added for ten-pin bowling after this picture
was taken. Today, residential condominiums are on
this corner. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin^

Commends Councillor Brian McNamee's Hard Work
Having recently received
a public notice regarding the
proposal to have the Fiesta
Shows Carnival relocated to
Squantum Point Park, and
reading of Councillor Brian
McNamee's opposition to a
proposed burlesque dance
academy on Billings Road,
I feel compelled to offer
a response as a concerned
resident in support of Coun-
cillor McNamee's position
regarding these proposed
venues.
Asa former officer of the
Marina Bay Civic Associa-
tion, member of the Seaside
Gardeners, and commu-
nity activist, I have come to
know Councillor McNamee
as a vocal, pro-active and
sincere advocate for the res-
idents and issues of Ward 6.
Particularly, he has always
lobbied to protect the integ-
rity of the neighborhoods he
represents... often in a "less
than sly" manner, which 1
have come to appreciate.
From my own personal
standpoint, I am increasing-
ly becoming frustrated by
recent decisions in Quincy
that have not been resident
fnendly and contribute to
further erode the integrity of
the neighborhoods of Quin-
cy. Specifically, the break-
down of communication
that led to the installation
of a giant billboard in West
Quinc). the establishment
of the monolithic Highpoint
development, the relocated
Montessori school in the
Hospital Hill neighborhood
and countless other pro-de-
veloper and quick revenue
producing decisions around
the city. Often fimes, these
decisions have forced resi-
dents to become adversarial
to protect their neighbor-
hoods, property values, and
quality of life.
At this time. I wish to ex-
tend "a heartfelt thank >ou"
to Councillor McNamee
for his unabashed support
of Ward 6 residents and
neighborhoods. 1 respect-
fully suggest to the Mayor.
the Quincy City Council
and members of the License
and Zoning Boards that they
follow this cue and support
future decisions, which sup-
port the integrity of Quincy "s
neighborhoods. As a satis-
fied homeowner for the past
29 years in Quincy. 1 hope to
look forward to many more.
Future decisions by the
above people will determine
if this is to be for my famil\ .
as well as others through-
out the city that ma> share
similar concerns regarding
the growing signs of urban
blight evidenced throughout
Quincy.

By MARIE D'OLIMPIO
Isabella Falco, daughter
of Suzanne and Anthony
Falco of Quincy, recently
served as a mock delegate
to the United Nations in
New York and observed
parliamentary procedure in
action.
Isabella, 12 years old, is a

and energy problems in An-
gola, Africa, which she said
was the largest producers of
oil, and a significant source
of oil to the US.
She also spoke about wa-
ter problems in Angola, and
how women have to walk
miles a day to procure 7-8
liters of water.
Also that Angola uses
hydro-electric energy as an
alternative.
Students debated issues
ranging from nuclear weap-
ons proliferation to child

DOVE Director Reacts
To Singer Rihanna's Abuse
The plight of singer
Rihanna has caught the at-
tention of DOVE, the do-
mestic violence agency, not
so much for her beating at
the hands of boyfriend Chris
Brown, but for teen reaction
to it.
The Boston Public Health
Commission surveyed 200
kids ages 12 to 19 and found
that 46 percent thought
Rihanna responsible and 52
percent said they thought
both were to blame.
"It is shocking that teens
are living in a reality where-
by a brutal beating is consid-
ered an acceptable response
to anything," said Jessica
Carmer, acting executive di-
rector of DOVE.
"Perhaps more impor-
tantly, this small survey
points out that kids are
thinking about violence as
an acceptable way of resolv-
ing conflict in dating rela-
tionships.
"Let's not forget that
there is only one person to
blame for Rihanna's scars.
Lately, the public seems to
be so focused on her actions
that we're starting to over-
look his.''
Carmer noted that abu-
sive relationships begin like
all others with mutual attrac-
tion, trust and love. Those
who choose to abuse their
partners do so intentionally.
"An abuser's apologies
and promises to change are
tactics used to keep their
partners in the relationship
and to continue the cycle of
dominance and aggression,"
she said.
"Even a woman like
Rihanna, who seems to
'have it all,' can be a victim
of abuse by a person she
loves and trusts."
Public condemnation
does nothing to get at the
root of the problem, said
Carmer.
"It is a trying and diffi-
cult process for a victim to
leave, as emotional, physi-
cal and financial obstacles^
and threats are often in the
way," she said.
"Many victims are iso-
lated from former support
systems and may feel they
have few options. Victims
need support, encourage-
ment and resources to aid
them through the transition.
"We need to transcend
the urge to take sides, place
blame and make assump-
tions about private relation-
ships.
"Instead, we should gath-
er our collective energy and
outrage and channel it into
breaking down the widely
held constructs about rela-
tionships and violence.
"By reinforcing the con-
cept that violence is never
an appropriate response
to any argument; by un-
derstanding the effect that
words can have on an indi-
vidual and the importance of
self-esteem and self-worth;
by workmg with local agen-
cies to provide education
and information about dat-
ing violence and domestic
violence; by supporting
those who are transitioning
out of violent relationships,
and understanding that any
breakup is difficult, regard-
less of the circumstances.
"We owe it to our chil-
dren to provide them with
opportunities to explore and
question the development of
healthy dating relationships.
"Taking this side benefits
us all. Keeping families safe
and violence-free leads to
stronger communities and
healthier individuals."
BJ's Wholesale Hearing Monday
The City Council will
hold a public hearing
Monday. March 30, at 6 p.m.
on a revived application by
QBJ Land Development
LLC for a special permit to
build a BJ's Wholesale Club
at 200 Crown Colony.
The plan was rejected
by the Planning Board last
October but BJ's sued and a
Land Court judge overturned
that ruling and the Planning
Board gave its unanimous
approval with conditions.
The Council hearing is

City Wants Crackdown
On Milton Trash Scofflaws
(C(»nt'd From l'(ii>e I
save $3.
"If I saw someone pull
up and drop a bag of trash.
Id call the police." DPW
Director Larry Prendeville
said this week when dis
cussing the issue.
Police will respond to
such calls, according to Po-
lice Captain John Dougan
who said the police would
order the offender to take
their trash back.
According to Assistant
City Clerk Maureen Halls
en. there are two anti-litter-
ing ordinances on the city's
books
One deals with "refuse
disposal" on city beaches
and in city waterways and
warns of $20 hnes
The second ordinance.
Section 12 0X()f>(). deals
with "rubbish"' in city
streets, describes the proper
disposal of ashes, and pro-
hibits putting barrels out
more than 15 hours before 7
am on a collection dav
However, the anti litter-
ing ordinance listed as Sec-
tion 12.08 ()6(). does not
specify any fines or punish-
ment.

Enjoying Life at
Allerton House
THE ALLERTON WAY
Allerton House at Hancock Park, Quincy, MA
by Kelly Richards
I'heresa Webber's
children surprised
her two years ago
when they came to
her Dorchester home
and simply said that
they wanted to lake
her somewhere.
Webber says, ".\s it
turned out, the final
destination of our
mystery ride was
Allerton 1 louse at
1 lancock Park. After
taking a tour and
meeting some of the
residents and staff, I
knew I would love
living here." She
credits her daughter
and three sons for
doing their research, ^imimhhm
knowing her needs
and personality, wanting to make
life easier, and findmg her a per-
fect home, "It was the first place 1
looked at," she says. "I
didn't need to look any funher"
loday, Webber's spacious one-
bedroom apartment at .^lerton
\ louse is decorated with lots of
photographs of her children and
grandchildren, as well as other
personal possessions that she
holds dear "All of my furniture fit
right in," says Webber. And my
family is close by so I see them all
the time. I'hey especially like to
come to the special events here.
At the Christmas party they saw
me sitting on Santa's lap."
Prior to her move to .Mlerton
House, Webber lived alone With
her children nearby, she could
always count on them for help, but
at age 82, she continued to carr\'

DPW Officials Tackle Workplace Abuses
Cont 'd From Pof^e i
Step is a verbal warning, the
second a written warning,
then a one-day suspension,
three-day suspension and
five-day suspension.
All steps must be fol-
lowed before an employee is
fired, according to Prendev-
ille w ho said that employees
could be fired immediately
for such offenses as alcohol
use or stealing.
Generally, all firings are
contested, said Prendeville.
Qnly one employee, caught
stealing gasoline, has been
fired recently.
Even charging an em-
pk)yee with alcohol use can
be difficult, according to
Prendeville who said that
the union contract only al-
lows random tesfing for
those with commercial ve-
hicle licenses, or after an
incident or accident.
However, Prendeville has
instituted several changes,
such as required letters from
doctors documenting a sick
day by an employee.
"That was out of con-
trol," said Coffey who also
described instances where
city vehicles were deliber-
ately damaged.
Now, he said all vehicles
must be checked on the way
in and out and employees
are docked for arriving late
and leaving early.
Moments
in time
THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On March 29, 1806. the
Great National Pike, also known
as the Cumberland Road, be-
comes the first highway funded
by the national treasury. The
initial appropriation of $30,000
was made by congressional act
and covered the first leg from
Cumberland. Md.. through
the Appalachian Mountains to
Wheeling in western Virginia on
the Ohio River.
• On March 28, 1915, the
first American is killed in the
eight-month-old European con-
flict that would become known
as the First Wodd War. Leon
Thrasher, a 31 -year-old mining
engineer and native of Massa-
chusetts, drowned when a Ger-
man submarine torpedoed the
cargo-passenger ship Falaba, on
its way from Liverpool to West
Africa, off the coast of England.
• On March 25, 1933, Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover accepts the
newly commissioned USS Se-
quoia as the official presidential
yacht. Before it was commis-
sioned as the presidential yacht,
the Department of Commerce
used the Sequoia as a decoy to
catch Prohibition law-breakers.
• On March 24, 1958, Elvis
Presley is inducted into the U.S.
Army. Although he had been
drafted the previous December,
the Army granted him a deferral
so he could finish shooting the
film "King Creole."
• On March 27, 1964. the
strongest earthquake in U.S. his-
tory, measuring 8.4 on the Rich-
ter scale, slams southern Alaska,
creating a deadly tsunami. Some
125 people were killed and thou-
sands injured. The tidal wave,
which measured over 100 feet at
points, devastated towns along
the Gulf of Alaska and caused
carnage in British Columbia,
Canada; Hawaii; and the West
Coast of the United States.
• On March 26, 1970, the
classic documentary "WtxxJ-
stock." showing the August 1969
concert that drew half a million
people to a dairy farm in New
York, premieres. The film won
an Oscar for Best Documentary.
• On March 23, 1999, au-
thor Thomas Harris delivers
his 600-page manuscript for his
new novel, "Hannibal," to Dela-
corte press. He had promised
the follow-up to "The Silence of
the Lambs" more than 10 years
earlier as part of a two-book con-
tract that paid him a $5.2 million
advance.

PREVENT ACHILLES TENDONITIS
The Achilles tendon runs
down the back of the leg and
goes straight into the heel.
When someone irritates the
tendon, it can become inflamed
and painful. This is called Achil-
les tendonitis. Symptoms of the
condition include a pain that
runs down the back of the an-
kle, and it can be quite severe.
People with the condition most
often complain that their first
step out of bed in the morning
or after sitting for a long-period
Is particularly uncomfortable.
Causes of Achilles tendonitis
include wearing ill-fitting shoes,
not stretching before exercise,
arxj overpronation (fiat fleet).
Keep tendons healthy by
buying good shoes, stretch-
ing, smd seeing tfie podiatrist
about any foot problems.
Podiatrists are specially
trained to care for foot tendons,
musdes, tissues, and bones.
and we are skilled at making
a diagnosis and establishing
an appropriate treatment plan.
We strive to deaease your
pain and other symptoms, pro-
tect your injury so it can heal,
and prepare you for a return
to activity. Our state-of-the-art
footcare facilities offer relief
from the painful condition of
hyperpronatlon through HyPro-
Cure™, a stabilizing procedure
that eliminates the discomfort
of excessive motion of the foot
and ankle. We're conveniently
located at QUINCY MEDICAL
CENTER, with office hours
also available at 999 North
Main St., In the Randolph Med-
ical Building, and Milton Medi-
cal Building in Suite 221 . You
can reach us at 781 -986-3668.
PS. People with short Achil-
les tendons are more likely to
get tendonitis.
Just hours after Coffey
addressed the Finance Com-
mittee, Channel 4's 1-Team
unveiled what was billed as
an "expose" on the Quincy
DPW. Much of the video
was more than three months
old.
The 'investigation,' light
by Channel 4 standards,
caught DPW workers, at
$43 an hour, waiting in a
truck on the sidelines of the
Thanksgiving Day parade.
The investigator noted they
were earning holiday pay
fordoing nothing.
Prendeville said he cut
down on the parade cover-
age but needs crews on-duty
for an emergency, such as a
float falling apart.
Cameras, also, zeroed in
on DPW workers on regu-
lar workdays, doing bank-
ing, picking up pastries and
flowers in city trucks and
driving a vehicle home.
Coffey and city council-
lors discussed the I-Team
report before it was aired.
City Council President
Jay Davis was skeptical
about 1-Team investiga-
tions, describing a report on
a judge whom he described
as one of the best jurists in
the state.
"I'm very concerned
about how this plays into the
worse caricature of a public
employee," said Councillor
Joseph Finn.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin echoed Finn's
concerns, stating such
abuses cast "a wide brush
across everyone in public
service, besmirching every-
one else."
Councillor Brian Mc-
Namee, Ward 6, asked how
overtime was assigned. Cof-
fey said the director must
approve all overtime.
Afterthe report was aired,
Prendeville said, "We're do-
ing an internal investigation
and we'll be taking appro-
priate action."
Christopher Walker,
Mayor Thomas Koch's Pol-
icy Director, provided the
mayor's response to the 1-
Team report:
"The Mayor has made it
abundantly clear that he ex-
pects a full day's work for a
full day's pay.
"When he ran the Park
Department for 12 years,
he had a solid reputation of
running a very tight ship and
he expects the same from his
team of department heads
and managers today."
New Legal Opinion Backs Faxon Track
Cont 'd From Pa^e 2
will be proud of and we are
moving forward in that posi-
tion," he said.
The School Commit-
tee asked Finnegan for an
opinion after turning down
the mayor request to site the
track on Faxon Field and
Koch, armed with a legal
opinion from City Solicitor
James Timmins, went ahead
with the project in spite of
it.
"My opinion was based
on the facts and the facts
will continue to reinforce
that this is an appropriate
site for a track," said Tim-
mins.
The School Committee's
request to Finnegan sought
answers to three questions:
• Does Faxon Field fall
under the jurisdiction of the
Quincy School Committee?
• Does the mayor of the
city of Quincy have the au-
thority to build the track and
athletic field on Faxon Field
without the approval of the
Quincy School Committee?
• Does the building of a
track at Faxon Field violate
the performance standards
set forth in the WPA Regu-
lations for "Bordering Veg-
etated Wetlands," or any
other DEP regulation con-
cerning this site?
Finnegan's opinion also
cited the use of tennis courts
near Faxon Field that have
been controlled by the Park
Board as well as its annual
votes to permit a carnival on
the site.
"It is my information and
belief," he wrote, "that the
tennis courts are controlled
and maintained by the Board
of Parks and Recreation.
"It is my understanding
that the carnival has been
held in Faxon Field for
many years pursuant to ap-
proval by the Board.
"Although Quincy High
School students have tradi-
tionally used Faxon Field
for fall football practice this
usage may have been by the
acquiescence of the Board,
and of itself, does not dimin-
ish the significant control
exercised over this property
by the city of Quincy."
Finnegan declined to ren-
der an opinion on the wet-
lands issue, saying "I do not
have sufficient knowledge
of the underlying lawsuit
(by Ross Edwards) and this
matter is well beyond the
scope of my opinion."
And, he added, "my
opinion is advisory and the
courts provide a final and
binding mechanism, perhaps
through a declaratory judge-
ment, to resolve the dispute
over which party has juris-
diction over Faxon Field."

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fo'e Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire DqmrtmetH
Martin Aikens Committee Announces
Ward 1 Campaign Coordinators
Child Fire Deaths
Drop 66% Since S.A-F.E.
I believe in the impact of
fire safety education other-
wise I wouldn't be so moti-
vated to write these articles.
It's a great way to impact
more people beyond the
scope of doing so while we
implement and enforce code
and regulations. Present-
ing examples in particular
is an awesome tool toward
conveying fire safe behavior
while success with our pro-
active efforts at preventing
fires present fewer oppor-
tunities to learn from. That
being said, and based upon
my inclination that you are
embracing what we convey,
our efforts towards educa-
tion will continue no matter
what form it takes.
Much of our efforts at
present focus on conveying
our message to school age
children throughourS. A. F.E.
Program. The S.A.F.E. Pro-
gram is a statewide initiative
to offer school age children
the opportunity to receive
formal fire safety education
throughout their presence
in the system. The acronym
stands for Safety Awareness
of Fire Education. The pro-
gram began in 1995. This
city adopted it soon after-
wards while the chief at the
time. Chief Gorman, saw
the long-term benefit of this
program for children. My
pestering at that time might
have helped .as well.
I recently received a
handout from the state fire
marshal's office, which in-
cluded some statistics on
the impact of the S.A.F.E.
Program statewide since its
inception. They're quite im-
pressive. Child fire deaths
have dropped 66% since it
began in 1995. The aver-
age annual number of fire
deaths of children under
the age of 18 has fallen by
two-thirds since the start of
the S.A.F.E. Program. Dur-
ing the 12 full years that
the S.A.F.E. Program has
been in effect, from 1996
to 2007, the average num-
ber of childhood fire deaths
is 6.3. In the twelve years
prior to this program, 1983-
1994, the average number
of childhood fire deaths per
year was 18.7.
Fire safety education
works! I'm particularly
grateful for this update on
this program where it sta-
tistically confirms my own
impression on its impact.
Meanwhile here are a few
specific examples given in
this flyer on the impact of
this program on the behav-
ior of children during actual
fire incidents:
A 9-year old leads a
4-year old brother to the
family meeting place during
a fire incident.
An 8-year old makes
family develop and prac-
tice escape plan as part of
S.A.F.E. Program home-
work. The family uses the
escape plan to safely evacu-
ate their home a few weeks
later.
A 7 year old saves a
grandmother by helping her
to "stop, drop and roll".
A 12-year old boy blocks
smoke by closing the door
and covering the crack with
a blanket to save four young-
er siblings and himself.

RECENT SCAM: beware of a telephone solicitation
from a company called, "Warranty Services", with a num-
ber of 973 804 0196. The call begins as a recording, stating
that the warranty on your vehicle is running out and that
you need to speak to one of the call takers. 1 spoke with an
employee, who identified the name of the company and then
asked for my zip code. I gave her that and then she asked
for the make and model of my car. 1 told her that I have two
and she should tell me which one has the warranty running
out since she called me. At that point, she said that she
would put me on the "Do Not Call" list and hung up. Two
days later, I received the call again. Amazingly, they were
calling me at my office at the Police Station, which is where
1 uncover these type of calls. To block these calls from com-
ing to your home as 1 do, call 1-888-382-1222, or register

A Job Well Done
On Saturday, March 14, 2(K)9, at approximately
5 p.m.. Officer Matt Patten responded to the area of
the Southern Artery and Field Street on the report of
a male who appeared to have been assaulted and was
crying. The caller stated they also observed what ap-
peared to be blood on this individual's mouth.
As the officer neared
the area, he located a male
matching the descrip-
tion in the parking lot of
Quirk Ford. The officer
recognized the victim as
he is well known to the
Police through various
positive settings.
Officer Patten noted in
his report that it is imme-
diately obvious when you
meet the victim that he is
a middle aged mentally
retarded individual, which the court has defined as
"Slow or limited in intellectual and emotional develop-
ment or in academic progress." This was important be-
cause there are protections and specific crimes related
to this vicfim.
The victim, who was sobbing uncontrollably, had
been involved in some kind of altercation, with his
lips covered in dried blood. His clothing was dishev-
eled and his pants were dirtied around the knee area as
if he had fallen down onto them. It took several min-
utes to calm the victim down, but he eventually stated
"Tom punched me in the mouth and threw me down."
After this statement, the victim began crying again.
Officer Patten knew that Officer Chris McDermott
knew the victim well, so he notified the Officer to re-
spond to the scene. The Officers were able to calm the
victim down so they could get a full account of what
occurred. The victim said that he was in a wooded
area behind the CVS pharmacy with two homeless
people having a "cookout." The victim stated that
he had met these people while staying at the Father
Bill's homeless shelter months ago. When asked to
describe these people, the victim was very specific
regarding the clothing of the suspect and the other
homeless person, a female. The victim refused medi-
cal attention and he was transported to Father Bill's.
The officers then proceeded to the area behind the CVS
in an attempt to lcx;ate the two homeless people.
The officers walked down a well-worn path into the
wooded area where there have had several calls re-
garding homeless in the past. The officers snuck up
to a makeshift tent and heard a male voice coming
from inside stating "If your buddy (stating his name)
comes back here again, he's going to be *&^%$#@ up
again."
The officers announced their presence and ordered
everyone out of the tent. A white male, matching the
description provided by the victim, exited the tent first
followed by a white female. The Officers saw that the
male suspect had a fresh cut to his right hand knuckle,
which was consistent with having punched someone or
something.
Officer Patten asked the suspect if he had a prob-
lem with someone in the last hour and he denied this.
Officer Patten told him that he just heard him make a
statement about the victim, identifying him by name.
At this time, the suspect uttered, "It was self defense -
he attacked me."
The officer asked the suspect how long he had
known the suspect and he replied, "a while." When
asked if he believed the victim was mentally re-
tarded, he said, "I guess so but he hit me first."
At this point the female asked to speak to the Officers
in private. She said that the victim had a crush on her
and "Tom got mad but he would never hurt him."
When reminded about the threat made against the
victim by the suspect from inside the tent, the female
said "it was just macho talk." The female was asked if
the suspect punched the victim, and she replied, "Yes -
in self-defense.
Officer Patten determined that a battery had oc-
curred against the victim and then placed the suspect
in custody. The suspect, a 45-year-old homeless man,
was charged with "Assault and Battery on a Retarded
Person."
Nice Work!
BEST WISHES AND THANK YOU: to Lieuten

ment, who retired after almost 40 years of service to

'Camp Sunday' At Quincy Community United Methodist
If you ever attended a
worship service where you
sang "On Top of Spaghetti ,"
or sat around a campfire
and listened to the sounds
of nature, then the Camp
Sunday presented by the
Quincy Community United
Methodist Church on 10:30
am. March 29 is right down
your alley.
"Yes, Camp Sunday is
unusual," said Dr. Susan
F. Jarek-Glidden, pastor.
She said "the first one was
held last year and the Wor-
ship Committee decided
to expand Scout Sunday to
include Camp Fire girls and
Bluebirds."
The program includes in-
formation about the United
Methodist Church's three
camps in New England, as
well as a number of camp
songs. Participants are
asked to call out the name
of their favorite camp song,
and it is then sung during
the worship service-hence,
"On Top of Spaghetti ."
Dr. Glidden said, "Last
year when we held Camp
Sunday, a group of students

(ARA) - Motivated sell-
ers, builders offering deep
discounts and incentives,
historically low mortgage
rates, plenty of inventory
and fierce competition for
qualified borrowers -it's ac-
tually a great time to be buy-
ing a house. If your credit
score is good, you're in an
even better position to nego-
tiate the loan on the home of
your dreams this spring.
Spring has always been
a popular time to buy a new
home. More people put their
homes on the market when
the weather is warm, and a
wealth of inventory is avail-
able. With winter thawing
into distant memory, home
shoppers are ready for a
fresh start in a new house.
Buying a home in spring
will help new homeowners
ensure they move their fam-
ilies during the summer, and
not at the beginning or in the
middle of the school year.
With plenty of housing
opportunities and low inter-
est rates currently available,
it pays to ensure you're in
a position of power when
you go home shopping this
spring. Here are some sim-
ple tips for ensuring you're
in the driver's seat when
buying a house:
Know Your Credit Score
You may not be able to
control the economy, but
your credit score is a finan-
cial reality you do have con-
trol over. The higher your
score, the more likely you
are to be able to negotiate
lower interest rates when
mortgage hunting.
Before you look at a
single house, find out what
your credit score is. Sites
like FreeCreditReport.com
give you free access to
your credit report - which
will show potential lenders
your payment history and
help them decide if you're
a good or even great credit
risk. Through the Web site,
you can also get your credit
score from Experian, one of
the three top credit bureaus
lenders turn to when evalu-
ating the credit-worthiness
of potential borrowers.
The better your score, the
better your chances of scor-
ing a great loan, so take steps
to improve your score, such
as paying off credit cards
quickly, paying bills on time
and minimizing your use
of revolving credit. Errors
can occur and if you find
some on your credit report,
work directly with the credit
bureaus to have them ct>r-
rected.
Know the Playing Field
Once you're confident
you have a powerful Credit
score, research the market
where you're interested
in buying. In addition to
considering the quality of
schools, proximity to work,
entertainment and amenities
a neighborhood has to offer;
consider the number of fore-
closures in an area and how
much home values have
dipped in the past year.
Is the neighborhood
you're interested in poised
to regain value quickly
when the real estate market
rebounds? Recovery speed
could be an important con-
sideration if you plan to
stay in the home only a few
years. If you're in the home
for the long haul, you may
be less concerned about how
quickly home values in the
neighborhood will improve

Easy Tips For An Eco-kind, Budget-Friendly Home
(ARA) - Going green is
one trend that continues to
grow, helping to keep our
environment healthy. And
in a tough economy, taking
eco-friendly steps at home
can also be a way to save
some money. If you are in-
terested in being more en-
ergy efficient and want to
reduce waste at your house,
you'll be happy to know it's
easier than you think.
"One of the most cost-
effective, low eco-impact
ways to save money is to
use retractable shade around
your home," says Ido Eilam
at SunSetter Retractable Aw-
nings. "Utilizing the cooling
aspects of shade and the
heating aspects of the sun,
when applicable, can be an
easy way to save money on
home energy bills."
Here are some ideas on
how to integrate this con-
cept into your home life:
* Reduce your carbon
footprint with a retractable
awning.
There are a variety of aw-
nings for use at home. Some
attach directly on the house
and are quick and easy to
open and close. Not only do
these retractable awnings
keep you comfortable and
protect you from harmful
UV rays, they also help you
heat and cool a home more
efficiently. During the sum-

to run as hard. In the winter,
the awning can be stored
outside in its closed position
to let the natural sunlight in
to heat the home. Your en-
ergy bills can be lowered
throughout the year.
In addition to awnings
that attach directly on the
house, SunSetter offers the
Oasis, a free-standing op-
tion that is great on a patio
or by a pool. It does not
need to be mounted against
the home and helps increase
how much time a family
spends enjoying their yard
amenities.
Hot weather during the
summer months can drive
people indoors fast, but if
you have an awning (free-
standing or wall mounted),
you can enjoy temperatures
up to 20 degrees cooler than
those in the sun. Awnings
provide a relaxing, comfort-
able place for you to enjoy
your backyard, and because
you are spending more time
outdoors, you can turn down
the air conditioning inside,
helping to lower your bills
and the pollution you put
into the atmosphere.
* Consider planting trees,
shrubbery and a garden.
Trees, grass and other
green plants take in carbon

dioxide and release oxy-
gen, helping to keep our air
clean. This is a natural way
to be an eco-friendly hom-
eowner, plus you'll add ap-
peal with the visual allure of
landscaping.
Doing a little research
and finding plants that thrive
in your climate without a lot
of water will allow for lower
maintenance and conser-
vation of water resources.
Different types of trees can
do this and keep your home
cool, protecting it from the
hot rays of the sun . Ask your
local nursery what tree spe-
cies they suggest.
Another idea to consider
is planting your own organ-
ic container garden. These
plants will help clean the
air and you'll also get fresh
fruits and vegetables you
can eat, helping to lower
your grocery bill.
Now that you know how
to create an eco-friendly and
energy efficient home, take
the first step. Visit www.sun-
setter.com to learn about the
best awning for your home.
You'll love enjoying the
outdoors, helping the envi-
ronment and saving money
all at the same time.

Kitchen Remodeling Tips From The Pros
(ARA) - Now is a great
time to invest in your home,
and renovating your kitchen
is usually the most cost-
effective upgrade you can
make. As the room where
families spend the most time
together, the kitchen can be
enjoyed on a daily basis and
much of the renovation cost
can be recouped when you
do decide to sell.

Cheap Ways to Boost
Your Home's Value
Q^ I knovv home prices are

but I'm stili considering put-

the market. Is there anything
I can do to keep its value up?
Sign me - Ogonquit Snowbird,
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
A^ The housing market has
• gotten pretty interesting
in the past year, but while prices
have sunk in many areas of the
country, other areas have seen
only a modest decrease. And,
despite all the doom and gloom
we hear about, homes are still
being bought and sold. The big-
gest difference is that buyers can
demand more for their money.
As a seller, you will need to
offer a home that satisfies at least
some of those buyer demands,
while avoiding getting soaked
on the final selling price. So,
what does that mean.^ RenoNa-

Visual appeal ranks very high
in his guide (and in general). That
means improving your home's
exterior and its surroundings
(the yard, trees and garden, for
example). If your cottage doesn't
get much attention while you're
away for the winter, or the yard
lcx)ks a little ratty, call a profes-
sional landscajjer to spruce up
the lot — or completely redo it.
The interior of your cottage
should get thorough consider-
ation as well. A fresh coat of
paint and clearing away clutter
costs little, yet vastly improves
the look and feel. Hire a decora-
tor if you want to create a com-
plete "look" in the house that
will tempt buyers.
What if major repairs need do-
ing, such as plumbing or founda-
tion work? You can make them
before putting the house on the
market, or you can disclose the
problems to potential buyers and

answers to these common
remodeling questions in
mind.
Where's the best place
to begin?
According to "My Home,
My Money Pit" by Tom
Kraeutler and Leslie Seg-
rete, you should start at the
end - by determining how
you want to use the remod-
eled space. Although your
primary inclination will \?e
to pick out the style of kitch-
en you like best, you need
to first consider how your
kitchen fits your lifestyle
and how you need it to func-
tion. Think about whether or
not you have ample space to
work efficiently or enough
storage for your kitchen
tools. If you use the space
to pay bills and handle other
household business, think
about adding an office area.
Once you know what you
need from your new kitch-
en, you'll be able to solve
the problems when you're
remodeling.
What makes a kitchen
remodel more or less ex-
pensive?
Kraeutler and Segrete
say that cabinets can be the
single largest expense in a
kitchen remodel. If you're
looking to cut back on ex-
penses, existing cabinets can
often be repaired, reinforced
or refinished instead of re-
placed. Just be sure to check
your cabinets' construction;
if they're made of veneers,
they can't be sanded or
stained, so painting will be
your only option.
Surfaces are also another
area where you can splurge
or save - it all depends on
the materials you choose.
Look for more cost-effec-
tive options for counters,
backsplashes and floors to
keep your budget in check.
But like any major purchase,
you should only spend what
you can afford.
What is the kitchen
'Vork triangle" and why
is it important?
When remodeling your
kitchen, keep the "work tri-

angle" in mind — the kitchen
area from the refrigerator to
the main cooking area to the
sink. It's important because
all of the key kitchen ac-
tivities - food preparation,

place in adjacent locations,
improving the functional-

you to upgrade your work

a huge expense. Include

Make Extra Cash
This Summer
Warmer weather is just around
the corner - and so is your chance
to make some extra money. It's not
tcx) early to get started on a plan.
Here are some ideas.
• Yard sales: Start looking in
your own home and garage for
items to sell. What you've always
given to Got>dwill or the Salvation
Army could net you a few bucks.
Kids' jeans for a dollar, shirts for
50 cents - somebody will buy
those. Have baked goods on hand
and a couple pitchers of lemonade
or punch to bring in extra dollars.
• Ltx)k at your own skills: Plan
a class teaching something you
know how to do and propose it
in writing to your local parks and
recreation department or college.
Teach basic sports to children,
computer skills to seniors (don't
forget senior centers), flower ar-
ranging, faux (marble, leather)
painting, baking, home tailoring
and basic sewing, music lessons
- the list of possibilities is only
limited by your own skills.
• Language instructor or tutor:
Contact scKial serv ices and charity-
organizations to organize a class for
those who want to leam English. If
en faucet from Moen, a sin-
gle-handle faucet featuring
an ergonomically designed
pullout wand for easy access
to all comers of even the
largest sinks. Available in
four great finishes, including
the versatile LifeShine Clas-
sic Stainless, Colonnade fits
any fresh new decor. It also
offers several flow patterns,
making prep and clean-up
effortless.
What is the most de-
sired kitchen feature?
The kitchen island has
become the must-have item
in any kitchen. Since it's
centrally located, the island
is easily accessed and ideal
for various kitchen tasks.
The island can also double
as an eating and entertaining
area - making it a smart,
stylish and functional addi-
tion to any space.

you know a foreign language, you
can tutor or get on a courthouse list
to act as translator.
• Tutor in a subject you know:
By this time of the year, parents
know whether their child is likely
to pass final exams. There's still
time for you to tutor children and
get their knowledge up to par be-
fore the end of school .
• Delivery driver: Check cou-
rier services, landscapers and auto-
parts suppliers.
• Vacation plant and pet care:
Put out flyers (especially at your
local veterinarian) and offer your
services taking care of pets for
those on vacation. Offer to water
plants and bring in the mail as ex-
tra incentive. Be sure to charge a
bit less than local kennels.
• Run Saturday errands for
busy families. This is doable even
if you work during the week.
• Make and sell crafts or jew-
elry at summer flea markets.
• Weed vegetable gardens in
exchange for some of the bounty.
Can the vegetables, again for some
of the end result.
Don't limit yourself to one way
to bring in extra cash. Try out dif-
ferent ideas and see what ends up
being the most lucrative.

Quincy's Michael Chan
Starts Season On High Note
Ten Sacred Heart Travel Teams
Chasing Championships
Michael Chan, a junior
tennis player at Eastern Naz-
arene College and a 2006
graduate of Quincy High
School, played a key role in
the Crusaders 4- 1 start down
in Hilton Head, South Caro-
lina earlier this month.
Chan posted a 3-2 record
at the #1 singles position,
beating the #1 players from
Hood, Juniata and Southern
Virginia Colleges, while los-
ing two matches against the
#1 players from Penn State-
Behrend and RPi. Both of
Chan's early season defeats
came at the end of three long
sets of tennis.
Chan also teamed up
with Xavier V. Gonzales in
double matches and the duo
posted a 3-2 mark at the #1
double position.

cess down in South Carolina,

Quincy Softball Ready To Go
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Patriot League
should best beware of the
Presidents in 2009.
Starting next week,
Quincy's quest for a second
straight division title will
get underway. Last year, the
program's last in the Atlan-
tic Coast League (ACL), the
Presidents captured the ACL
North Division champion-
ship, finishing the regular
season with a 16-3 record
and Quincy entered the Divi-
sion I South Sectionals with
high aspirations. The team
defeated Fontbonne Acad-
emy 2-0 in the first-round
before losing to Taunton HS.
5-0, in the quarterfinals. A
strong showing for a team
that in 2007 finished with a
1-19 record.
This year, playing in the
new league, the team could
be even better. Quincy
graduated only one starter
of last year's team. Granted,
that player was Marybeth
Torpey, the ACL's batting
champ and the Presidents'
captain and rock, but experi-
ence gained from the young-
er players and the return of
All-League pitcher Kori
Sorensen should bode well
for QHS as it moves forward
this spring.
"We have everybody

Quincy's new club soccer program
back this season off last
year's team except for Ma-
rybeth," said QHS head
coach Mike Sedar. "She was
an exceptional player and
will be greatly missed, but
the younger girls, and we
are a junior laden team, have
gained that big game experi-
ence and hopefully that will
carry over as we start play in
the new league.
"With Kori on the mound
we always have a chance.
She is that good and has
only gotten better since the
end of last year. You add in
the return of Olivia Berry at
catcher and Elisa Lam (team
captain in 2009), both ACL
all -stars last season, and you
have a great foundation to
work with."
Besides Sorensen, Berry
and Lam, Sedar returns vet-
erans Julie Yee (3B), Kylie
Kozlowski (IB), Erin Cur-
ran, Amy Anderson, Lisa
Lam, Jamie Shaughnessy
and Danielle Urbanus. The
one new comer to the team
is freshman Nicole Parry.
Parry, who will see time on
the hill backing up Sorens-
en, is slated to fill the short-
stop position left vacated by
Torpey.
"We are junior heavy and
all of these girls are fired up
about playing," added Sedar.
"Beside moving Parry in for
Marybeth, we return the in-
field intact. And in the out-
field we have four girls bat-
tling it out for three spots.
"Losing Torpey may put
some added pressure on the
offense to produce, but if we
can grab a couple runs here
and there our pitching and
defense should carry us to
wins."
After dismantling the
ACL North last season
Quincy will face new chal-
lengers this spring in the
Patriot League. The Presi-
dents will have to contend
with teams such as Dux-
bury, Silver Lake, Hanover,
Middleboro, Scituate, Rock-
land, Hingham, Pembroke
and Randolph, not to men-
tion ACL carryovers North
Quincy and Whitman-Han-
son. A challenge that Sedar
believes his team is ready to
attack.
"Last year we won games
every way possible. And
even our loss to Taunton
showed me that we could be
resilient and tough to knock
out. The Patriot League will
present new challenges and
teams like Duxbury, Silver
Lake and Middleboro are
strong programs.
"But I expect the mo-
mentum from last season to
carry over. Our non-league
schedule is tough and I be-
lieve that it helps us prepare
for league play. It should be
a successful season."
Quincy opens the 2009
season on April I with a
non-league road contest
against Stoughton HS. The
team's first home game is
set for April 8 at 3:30 p.m.
(Mitchell/McCoy) versus
Silver Lake Regional HS.

Boston For Patrick White
Joey Flynn, a resident of
Quincy, will be running in
his fourth consecutive Bos-
ton Marathon on April 20
to raise money for the Dana
Farber Cancer Institute in
memory of his late cousin
Patrick White. White, a pa-
tient at Dana Farber 'was
also a Quincy resident and

age of 15.
Flyrm has risen approxi-
mately $38,000 in three
years for the Claudia Adams
Barr Program in Innovative
Basic Cancer Research. Ba-
sis research has made the
difference between business-
as-usual in cancer treatment
and the new era of targeted,
less toxic therapy. Since its
inception, the Dana Farber
Cancer Institute has been
at the center of this process
and the Barr Program is an
essential component of that
success. Dana Farber 's ur-
gency to find a cure for all
forms of cancer including
breast cancer, ovarian can-
cer, melanoma and lung
cancer will never stop until
cancer is no more.
Flynn is hoping to break
the $50,000 mark this year.

How To Keep Allergies From
Ruining The Fun At Playdates
(ARA) - Playdates have
taken off in America, and it
is no wonder. In this econo-
my, where else can you find
an inexpensive activity that
is fun for botlr children and
moms? Not only do play-
dates help youngsters learn
social izatit)n and coopera-
tion skills, but they also al-
low moms to mingle and
share advice.
Participating in playdates
(or "playgroups") is a great
way to spend the afternoon,
until one of your guests
sneezes, and then sneezes
again. If it turns out that a
member of your playdate is
severely allergic to the fam-
ily cat, your afternoon plans
could be ruined.
On any given day in
America, I0,0(K3 children
miss school because of aller-
gies, according to one study
referenced on the Ameri-
can Academy of Allergy,
Asthma and Immunology's
Web site, www.AAAAI.org.
Their site also mentions that
up to 40 percent of Ameri-
can children are believed to
suffer from nasal allergies,
and millions more have food
and skin allergies.
Yet in a recent national
survey conducted by Ipsos
and The Clorox Company,
just three percent of the
parents polled said they are
most concerned about expo-
sure to indoor allergens dur-
ing playdates.
"Playdates nurture a
sense of community among
children and parents," says
Jeff Van Lom, co-founder
and CEO of Playgroups
USA, a national organiza-
tion that helps parents form
playgroups for their chil-
dren. "Kids get to be kids
and enjoy playing together
while parents can share ad-
vice, experiences and sup-
port. But an allergic reaction
can lake all the fun out of a
playdate."
Nearl) halt of parents
reported their children have
experienced indoor allergy
symptoms in the past year,
according to the survey.
Because playdates often
occur indoors, they can be
tough tor children who are
allergic to mdoor allergens
such as dust mite matter and
pet dander. Whether you're
hosting the playdate or your
child is a guest, it pays to
prepare with some allergy
precautions.
A new free, download-
able guide on www.Play-
groupsUSA.com, called
the "Guide to the ABCs of
Playdates and Allergies,"
helps parents prepare homes
for playdates -- especially
when guests have allergies.
The guide, created through
a partnership between Play-
groups USA and The Clorox
Company, provides infor-
mation on common aller-
gens, statistics on allergies
among children, and tips for
minimizing allergy triggers
during playdates.
Prepping for the Play-
date
Everyone knows how
tough it is to be a parent in
general , much less also be in
charge of hosting a playdate
with other children -- espe-
cially children with aller-
gies. This guide outlines
simple steps that you can
take to help make life easier
as the playdate host.
For example, prior to the
playdate. follow these easy
steps to help reduce com-
mon indoor allergens like
dust mite matter and pet
dander:
* To help make indoor
allergen management easier,
spray upholstered furni-
ture and other fabrics with
a product such as Clorox
Anywhere Anti-Allergen
Fabric Spray to reduce up
to 9() percent of common in-
door allergens such as dust
mite matter and pet dander.
This spray is also fragrance-
free and dye-free, so it is
safe to use around pets and
won't bother kids with sen-
sitive skin.
* Wash fabric toys and
blankets with an anti-al-
lergen bleach like Clorox
Plus Anti-Allergen Bleach
that removes 99 percent of
household allergens. The
bleach denatures common
household allergens -- such
as mold, dust mite matter
and pet dander - that can
hide in fabric fibers or on
hard surfaces.
* It is also a good idea to
vacuum and dust the room
where you plan to host your
playdate. Also try to keep
your pets out of the house for
the day. As all moms know,
there are not enough hours
in the day. so just focus on
where you plan to spend
time with your guests. The
rest of the house can wait.
* Find out from other
parents if their children
have f(x>d allergies, and
plan menu choices accord-
ingly. If their child has a
food allergy, they will be
very impressed - and thank-
ful - that you asked. Invite
parents to join in and, if it
raises their comfort level,
supply their own snacks for
their food-allergic child.
The "Guide to the ABCs
of Playdates and Allergies"
offers more easy-to-follow
advice on how to keep aller-
gies from being a playdate
problem and is available for
free download at www.Play-

ROOTING OUT GUM DISEASE
The most common treatment largely be avoided it you are
for periodontal disease ("scal-
ing and root planing") involves
removal of plaque and tartar
above and below the gum line
By smoothing the root surfac-
es all rough surfaces to which
bacteria-laden plaque and tar-
tar like to adhere are removed
In addition, smooth root surfac-
es encourage gum disease to
reattach itself. In some cases,
antibiotic gel is also injected by
syringe into the pockets that
form between teeth and gums.
While clinical evidence sup-
ports the use of antibiotic gel. it
should only be used in conjunc-
tion with scaling and root plan-
ing and not as a replacement
for the standard treatment
or surgery. Antibacterial gel
alone does not stop gum dis-
ease and bone degeneration
which contributes to tooth loss

periodontal treatments can

Slars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) You'll want to discourage
well-meaning but potentially
ill-advised interference in what
you intend to accomplish. Your
work has a better chance to suc-
ceed if it reflects you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
The Bovine's well-deserved
reputarion for loyalty could be
tested if you learn that it might
be misplaced. But don't rely on
rumors. Check the stories out
before you decided to act.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You've been going on adrena-
line for a long time, and this
unexpected lull in a recent spate
of excitement could be just what
you need to restore your energy
levels. Enjoy it.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Friends can be counted on to
help you deal with a perplexing
personal situation. But remem-
ber to keep your circle of advis-
ers limited only to those you're
sure you can trust.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Security-loving Lions do not
appreciate uncertainty in any
form. But sometimes changing
situations can reveal hidden
stresses in time to repair a rela-
tionship before it's too late.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) This is a good time for
single Virgos to make a love
connection. Be careful not to be
too judgmental about your new
"prospect" - at least until you
know more about her or him.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Your sense of justice
helps you resolve a problem that
might have been unfairly attrib-
uted to the wrong person. Spend
the weekend doing some long-
neglected chores.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You might feel
justified in your anger toward
someone you suspect betrayed
your trust. But it could help if
you take the time to check if
your suspicions have substance.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 2 1 ) Ignore distrac-
tions if you hope to accomplish
your goal by the deadline you
agreed to. Keep the finish line in
sight, and you should be able to
cross it with time to spare.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Your creative self
continues to dominate through
much of the week. Also, de-
spite a few problems that have
cropped up, that recent romantic
connection seems to be thriv-
ing.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 1 8) As curious as you
might be, it's best to avoid try-
ing to learn a colleague's secret.
That sort of knowledge could
drag you into a difficult work-
place situation at some point
down the line.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Instead of spending too
much time floundering around
wondering if you can meet your
deadline, you need to spend
more time actually working to-
ward reaching it.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a natural gift for attract-
ing new friends, who are drawn
to your unabashed love of what
life should be all about.

A Thought
fOR Tne ^Veif(
There is an old Dutch prov-
erb which states, "An ounce of
patience is worth a pound of
brains."
To do swiftly what seems to
need doing is good because this is
a part of the business of survival.
But to act too swiftly, without even an instant's re-
flection, is not good. The lower animals act swiftly;
they do not meditate. Sometimes they survive, but
often they hurl themselves into traps.
If we claim to be higher animals, we must
practice a little reasoning, a little reflection, for
these are said to be virtues which set us above
other animals. It is good to remember the state-
ment that has come down to us from an ancient
Chinese sage: 'One moment of patience may ward
off great disaster, one moment of impatience may
ruin a whole life." . . .

'Are You Okay' Program Rescues
85-Year-Old Quincy Man
Sheri ff Michael Bellotti's
"Are You OK'.'" program
proved its worth again re-
cently, rescuing an 85-year-
old Quincy man who was
having medical problems
he was unable to communi-
cate.
When the sheriff's offi-
cer placed the daily well-be-
ing check call to the elderly
man at 6:05 a.m., he noted
that the man seemed barely
able to speak in response to
the question.
The officer quickly called
911 on behalf of the man
and an ambulance soon had
him on the way to Quincy
Medical Center to be evalu-
ated.
"The 'Are You OK?' pro-
gram is designed to make
sure someone is regularly
checking in with elderly
people living alone in case
they have a medical prob-
lem and cannot get help by
themselves," said Bellotti.
"We hope this gentleman
will be fine and we were
glad we were able to get
him medical care when he
needed it."

State Aid For Schools May Increase By $4 Million
(Cont'd From Page 1
city employees for joining
the G.I.C., the state's health
insurance program.
Teachers" salaries which
account for $29.4 million of
the current budget will in-
crease to a projected $31.8
million in 2010 and $34.3
million in 2011, according
to Mullaney.
Mullaney said con-
tractual raises account for
$2,165,700 in next year's
budget while "Step & Lev-
el" increases account for
nearly $1,698,273 million.
The G.l.C. bonus will
cost $450,300 and non-
instructional staff raises.
$825,983.
Teacher and staff retire-
ments will save $330,000 on
the salary line but new hire
replacements increase the
"Step & Level" budget line.
At this time. Mayor
Thomas Koch is asking the
city's unionized employees
to forgo next year's con-
tracted salary increases in an
effort to close a $12 million
gap anticipated in the city's
2010 budget.
DeCristofaro said a num-
ber of school department
unions have agreed to waive
the raises this year. As of
Monday, the Quincy Edu-
cation Association (QEA)
which represents the teach-
ers has not reached an agree-
ment.
According to Mullaney 's
projections, the department
would save approximately
$3 million through a freeze
on teacher and staff raises.
Mullaney .said Koch's
request does not apply to
"Step and Level" increases
which account for over $ 1 .6
million dollars in the pro-
jected budget.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi suggested the
city's cost could drop to $79
million if the Chapter 70
funds and a salary freeze
materialize.
In previous sessions. Fi-
nance Committee members
have suggested that fees for
pre-kindergarten and full
day kindergarten could off-
set budget deficiencies.
Mullaney said the actual
cost to the city for full -day
kindergarten this year is $2.9

million for 722 students.
Of that sum, $2.5 mil-
lion is taxpayer- funded and
a $411 ,688 grant covers the
balance.
Mullaney, also, provided
background on four school
department enterprise
funds:
• Food Service
• School Rental
• Athletic Programs
• Transportation
All four services are sub-
sidized by the public school
budget. Income from the
Food Service operation ac-
counts for 92% of the ser-
vice expenses while the
school department covers
the remaining 8%.
Charges for athletic pro-
grams range from a $50 fee
for one sport to a $250 maxi-
mum and a fee for hockey of
$100. Despite such fees, the
public school budget covers
84% of the athletic program
expenses.
Students are charged for
school transportation at a
rate of 75 cents per mile.
Such transportation
charges cover only two
percent of the transporta-
tion budget of $3.9 million,
while the city carries the
98% balance.
The school rental fees
of $28 for Quincy youth
and $35 for adult and non-
Quincy youth cover only
57% of the cost of opening
and maintaining the rental
area. The school department
budget covers 43% of each
rental .
The Finance Committee
will review the Fire Depart-
ment budget Monday.

Council Opens Hearing For Application
Labor Leaders Support
B J/s Wholesale Club Project
lAxal labor leaders lined
up Monday to support a
proposed BJ's Wholesale
Club at 2(X) Crown Colony
Dr. during Monday's City
Council public hearing on
development plans.
Members of roofers,
carpenters, plumbers and
ironworkers, were among
the dozen proponents of the
project which is being con-
sidered for a Special Permit
by the City Council.
The speakers described
the urgent need for construc-
tion jobs, the retail jobs that
will follow BJ's opening
and anticipated tax revenues
for the city.
Ernie Arienti, president
of the firefighters union,
called the Crown Colony
location, "a perfect spot. It's
not going to affect the traffic
too much."
Only one speaker, Rich-
ard McLaughlin, expressed
concern about the plans.
McLaughlin warned of
traffic problems ahead. At
this time, McLaughlin said
it takes him "4 1/2 minutes
to get out of Liberty Street.
You're going to have to put
a cop up there."
McLaughlin, also, sug-
gested that access to B.J.'s
be established opposite the
Home Depot onto Burgin
Parkway and that councillors
wait until the new Lowe's
project on Burgin Parkway
is open, then study that new
traffic before approving the
B.J.'s plans.
Another West Quincy
resident, Al Bina, described
his family's support of the
proposal, "Overwhelm-
ingly, they support B.J.'s."
He added that his four adult
children live in Quincy and
tell him, "We have to leave
Quincy to buy anything to-
day."
Bina, also, believes that
all new construction in the
area should respect the city's
heritage by installing a trib-
ute made of Quincy granite
on the property.
City Clerk Joseph Shea
entered correspondence, all
e-mails, on the B.J.'s Pro-
posal into the record. About
18 supported the plan and
seven opposed it.

ment period, Robert Flem-
ing, attorney for QBJ Land

Field fees and advertis-
ing promotions could boost
Park Department funds, ac-
cording to city councillors
who recently reviewed the
department's $1.7 million
budget with Executive Di-
rector Kristen Powers.
According to Powers' re-
cords, reimbursements and
fees totaled $21,835 in fis-
cal year 2008 and $19^31
this year to date while the
department issued 2,700
permits for all its facilities.
Powers outlined the
parks' income and expendi-
tures on March 18 during a
Finance Committee budget
review aimed at developing
plans for cutting costs and
increasing income.
"There comes a time
when we're subsidizing
adult (teams)..." said City
Council President Jay Da-
JOHN KEENAN
vis. Ward 4, while discuss-
ing possible field fees.
Committee Chairman
John Keenan suggested that
the Park Board evaluate the
income potential from ad-
vertising on playing fields.
Advertising is already sold
for fields in neighboring cit-
ies and towns.
Powers said adult teams
do pay for field use as well
as for electricity, rest rooms
and maintenance crews. In
addition, she said that adults,
also, volunteer for projects
improving the parks.
There are, also, higher
expectations associated with
higher fees as well as legal
issues, according to Powers.
Powers said that leagues
would have higher expecta-
tions as to service and con-
ditions, along with higher
fees.
Even more important.
Powers said that the city
would be exposed to "a
greater level of liability," if
teams are charged more sub-
stantial fees.
In Powers' report, she
noted the Park and For-
estry Department oversees
52 park locations, 25 Little
League Fields, 34 basket-
ball courts, 100 traffic is-
lands, 10 municipal beaches
and performs maintenance

Toys, Food, Clothing Drive For Dispossessed Tenants
Fatal Fire Spawns
Probes, Resolution
By TOM HENSHAW
The West Quincy fire
that killed an Iraqi immi-
grant and his two sons last
Wednesday has spawned at
least two investigations and
one City Council resolu-
tion.
Oudah Frawi, who es-
caped from Iraq during the
Gulf War of 1991, and his
sons. All Oudah, 1, and
Hassan, 2 months, died
in the 3 a.m. blaze at 100
Robertson St.
His wife, Terri Knight,
was in critical conditional
at Massachusetts General
Hospital .
Fifteen other residents
escaped from the house
where Frawi and his family
lived in an illegal basement
apartment. The house was
authorized for four apart-
ments but housed six.
Building Inspector Jay
Duca heads a task force that
began a citywide search for
other apartment houses that
violate the city's building
code.
Ward 4 City Councillor
and Council President Jay
Davis said he plans to intro-
duce at the April 6 meeting a
resolution enabling a faster
city response to such trag-
edies.
"We need more authority
for department heads to fol-
low up the ordinances that
we have," he said. "Right
now it takes a long time.
We need quicker access into
houses to investigate com-
plaints."
Currently, the law gives
the owner of the apartment
house 30 days to respond to
a complaint.
Davis said donations of
toys, food and clothing for
dispossessed tenants are be-
ing taken at the Southwest
Community Center in
Brewer's Comer.
Money can be donated
to funds at the Red Cross or
Quincy Community Action
Programs (QCAP).
The major investigation
of the fire is being conduct-
ed by the State Fire Marshal,
who declined to comment
until it was completed.
David Traub, spokesman
for District Attorney William
Keating, said his office is
waiting for the report by the
fire marshal before deciding

THE HISTORY (Mm
• On April 3, 1776, because
it lacked sufficient funds to build
a strong navy, tfie Continental
Congress gives privateers per-
mission to attack any and all
British ships, except for those
vessels bringing arms and am-
munition or people who intended
to settle in the Colonies.
• On April I, 1924. Nazi
Party leader Adolf Hitler is sen-
tenced to five years in prison for
treason for leading the Nazis'
unsuccessful "Beer Hall Putsch."
Sent to Landsberg jail, he spent
his time dictating his autobiog-
raphy, 'Mein Kampf," and was
released after nine months.
• On April 31, 1930, the
Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America formal-
ly adopt the Prcxiuction Code,
which imptised strict guide-
lines on the portrayal of illegal
drug trafficking, profanity, the
portrayal of clergy members as
comic characters or villains, and
the portrayal of interracial rela-
tionships.
• On April 30. 1947, Pres
ton Tucker announces his con-
cept for a new automobile to be
named the "Tucker." His plans
called for a rear-mounted engine
as powerful as an aircraft motor,
a stationary "cyclops" headlight
and a steering wheel placed in
the center of the car.
•On April 5, 1951.attheend
of a highly publicized espionage
case, death sentences are im-
posed against Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg after they were found
guilty of conspiring to trans-
mit atomic secrets to the Soviet
Union. The only incriminating
evidence came from a confessed
spy who was given a reduced
sentence to testify against them.
• On April 4, 1969, the
most popular show on TV,
"The Smothers Brothers Com-
edy Hour," is canceled by CBS
because the brothers failed to
submit an episode to network
e.xecutives before its broadcast.
Among other controversial con-
tent in the show, the network
executives objected to antiwar
guests, including Pete Seeger,
who sang a Vietnam protest song
on the air.
•On April 2, 1987, the Unit-
ed States government allows
individual states to increase the
speed limit on rural roads from
55 mph to 65 mph. Since 1973,
when President Richard Nixon
set a federal maximum speed
limit of 55 mph, no cars were al-
lowed to exceed this speed.

Koch - Phelan Rematch?
KOCH
PHELAN
Ho-hum or humdinger?
One of those adjectives could aptly describe
this year's mayoral election.
Will incumbent Tom Koch - who will officially an-
nounce his campaign for a second term in May - be
unopposed or have only token opposition? Or will the
one-term mayor face a serious test in his bid for re-
election?
There is speculation that former Mayor William
Phelan, who was
defeated by Koch
in November, 2007
in one of the more
hotly contested may-
or's races in many
years, could mount a
challenge to reclaim
Quincy's highest
elective office. But
is Koch-Phelan Part II just a rumor or could it evolve
into political fact?
Only time will tell.
But there are signs - and political history - to sug-
gest a rematch will not take place this fall.
This past Jan. 20, Phelan dissolved his political
campaign committee, officially the Committee to
Elect William Phelan. The committee's last campaign
finance report - which covers the period from Jan. 1 ,
2008 to Dec. 31 , 2008 - shows a cash balance of $0.
Dissolving a committee means a candidate no longer
has to file ref>orts. However, if a candidate wants to
raise money for a campaign, he or she must establish a
campaign committee first.
So, it is possible Phelan could set-up a new commit-
tee. And run again for mayor of course.
Political history, however, seems to indicate a re-
match is not in the cards this fall.
There have only been two occasions in the city's
history that an incumbent mayor who had been de-
feated for re-election subsequently ran against the man
who defeated him in the next election. This, according
to city political historian and former mayor, Francis
McCauley.
And, in both scenarios, the sitting mayor won re-
election against his former incumbent challenger.
In the election of 1916, Mayor Gustav Bates was
defeated by then City Council President Joseph Whi-
ton. Whiton, with
3,131 votes, to
Bates' 2,962 votes,
won by 169 votes.
Bates ran again in
1918 and was once
again defeated by
Whiton, losing by
1,011 votes.
In the 1932 election. Mayor Thomas J. McGrath,
seeking a fourth term, was defeated by Charles A. Ross
whom he had defeat-
ed twice (in 1926 and
1928). Ross's margin
of victory was 1,710
votes.
In 1934, McGrath,
seeking to regain the
mayoralty he lost
in 1932, was once
again defeated by Ross. Ross' victory margin was
1,914 votes.
McCauley also notes another historical nugget.
In early 1935, after his inauguration, Ross would be
charged with violations of the Campaign Finance
Laws. Found guilty, he would be removed from of-
fice.
Three years later, in 1938. Ross lost a bid for mayor
to incumbent Thomas S. Burgin. In 1942. after Burgin
left office to accept a commission in the U.S. Navy.
Ross ran for the open seat, was elected, and he would
BATES
WHITON
ROSS
McGRATH
serve three more times, retiring in January, 1950.
One more political footnote: there have been seven
individuals who lost a bid for mayor but won that of-
fice in a subsequent election. They are:
James Thompson - lost in 1893, won in 1904.
William Shea - lost in 1906, won in 1907.
Eugene Stone - lost in 1908, won in 1911.
Gustav Bates - lost in 1904, won in 1915.
Charles Ross - lost 1926, 1928, won in 1932.
James Mclntyre - lost 1959, won in 1965.
Joseph LaRaia - lost 1965, won in 1975.
There are at least three important considerations in
waging a successful mayoral campaign. And all three
factored into the mayoral election of 2007: time, mon-
ey and name recognition.
Koch resigned as long-time director of the city's
Park, Forestry and Cemetery Department in January,
2007 to essentially run as a full-time candidate while
doing some consulting work to help earn a living.
Money-wise, his campaign spent nearly $300,000.
Obviously, long days on the campaign trail and rais-
ing significant cash paid dividends at the ballot box:
Koch defeated Phelan by 2,051 votes to become the
city's 33"^ mayor .
Political observers believe Phelan could still an-
nounce a bid to win back the mayor's office later this
spring and have sufficient time to campaign since he
has run city- wide before. He, like Koch, also has wide-
spread name recognition. But, someone else - and cer-
tainly a lesser-known political commodity or first-time
candidate - would need to be "moving pretty quickly
and announce soon," political observers say.
The field of candidates in the 2009 city election
should become somewhat clearer next month: nomi-
nation papers will be released by the Board of Regis-
trars on Tuesday, May 2. The last day for candidates
to submit nominations papers is Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 5
p.m. Fifty signatures are required for each office in a
city election.
Election dates are Tuesday, Sept. 22 if there is a pre-
liminary election for mayor, school committee and/or
city councillor; and Tuesday, Nov. 3 for the city elec-
tion.
If Phelan doesn't seek the mayor's seat, there are
also some observers who think the former mayor could
seek a return to the school committee. Phelan served
two years of a four-term term on the school commit-
tee before upsetting former Mayor James Sheets by
17 votes in 2001 - Quincy's closest mayoral election.
Phelan went on to win two more terms as mayor be-
fore losing to Koch.
The three incumbent school committee members
up for re-election this fall are Anne Mahoney, Ron
Mariano and Nick Puleo. Mahoney will be seeking her
second four-year term. Mariano is filling the unexpired
term of Kevin Mulvey who left the school commit-
tee to become personnel director of the Quincy School
Department. Puleo was named to fill the seat vacated
by Jim Timmins after he became city solicitor when
Koch took office.
However it plays out at the mayoral level, Koch
says he intends to run as if there will be another name
next to his on the ballot.
"I intend to talk about my record and what we've
been able to accomplish and hopefully the public will
respond," he says. "The mayor's seat doesn't belong to
me personally. It belongs to the people. I feel blessed
to have the opportunity to serve as the mayor of this
city and I take it very seriously. I've had some suc-
cess and there have been some financial challenges but
we'll get through it."
Koch's war chest, according to the last report filed
Jan. 20, had a balance of $33,321 . A fundraiser March
26 at the Quincy Neighborhood Club was expected to
raise another $20,000.
Now that the Red Sox are ready to play baseball
games that count again, it won't be long before the
city's political season is in full swing, too.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1925 real photo postcard view of the Gov-
ernment Elementary School built by the UJS. Housing
Corp. on the corner of Fifth Avenue and North Street in
Quincy Point. It was opened in 1920 for the children of
shipyard workers who lived in the housing built by the
government throughout this neighborhood. Six years
later it was bought by the City and renamed the Pollard
School in honor of the beloved Thomas W. Pollard w ho
for many years had been the principal of the Washington
and Daniel Webster Schools in the Point. About the same
time, North Street was also renamed, as it became part
of the new Southern Artery. This school served Quincy
Point youngsters for 62 years until the city closed it in
1982. Henry Bosworth attended the school and often
reminisced about the wonderful teachers he had there.
After the school closed, fires ravished it and then in
1984 it was demolished. Condominiums have since been
built on the site. The copper cupola behind the tree in
the center of the picture w as salvaged from the fire ru-
ins, refurbished and serves today as the centerpiece of
the Granite State Marketplace on the Daniel Webster
Highway in Hookset, N.H. To contact Tom Galvin, e-

Illegal Apartments Endanger Tenants, Neighbors
The recent tragedy in
Quincy when a fatal fire
took the lives of a father and
his two children and left his
wife in serious condition at
a hospital shows once again
how unsafe illegal apart-
ments can be for tenants.
According to the state
fire marshal's office, the
four-unit apartment building
also had two illegal apart-
ments in it, unknown to the
city's Building Department.
Reportedly, the city had re-
ceived a complaint from one
of the tenants, which led
City Hall to believe there
was one illegal apartment
inside. However, the city
did not find out about the
illegal basement apartment
until after the fire.
I lived in Quincy for 23
years and the issue of illegal
apartments scattered across
the city has been an ongoing
problem. With the down-
turn in the economy, surely
this issue will grow in size
as some property owners
might very well use apart-
ment buildings as cash cows
This issue is statewide and
not just a Quincy problem.
Personally, it should be ad-
dressed at the state level as
well as in cities and towns.
Illegal apartments can
endanger the tenants who
rent them and the surround-
ing neighborhood. These
apartments are in violation
of city ordinances and re-
porting requirements.
Punishment for violations
is not strong enough. Per-
haps, a state law is needed
to ensure that the penalty for
operating illegal apartments
is stiff. When there are fatal-
ities involved, what should
the penalty be'^ Stronger
measures are needed be-
cause this isn't just a hous-
ing issue but rather a public
safety one. Until we crack
down on illegal apartments,
the issue will grow and not
go away.

proposal to have the Fiesta
Shows Carnival relocated to

McNamee's opposition to a
proposed burlesque dance

I feel compelled to offer
a response as a concerned
resident in support of Coun-
cillor McNamee's position
regarding these proposed
venues.
As a former officer of the
Marina Bay Civic Associa-

Gardeners, and commu-
nity activist, 1 have come to
know Councillor McNamee
as a vocal, pro-active and
sincere advocate for the res-

Particularly, he has always
lobbied to protect the integ-
rity of the neighborhoods he
represents... often in a "less
than shy" manner, which 1
have come to appreciate.

standpoint, I am increasing-

ly becoming frustrated by
recent decisions in Quincy
that have not been resident
friendly and contribute to
further erode the integrity of
the neighborhoods of Quin-

that led to the installation
of a giant billboard in West
Quincy, the establishment
of the monolithic Highpoint

Golden Apple Cake
About a couple of times a month, I bake
a golden cake one of my mother's recipes
which is always enjoyed.
And so it was on one of those almost daily
snow storms that 1 decided to do something
different and added a couple of apples. Most
apple cakes are made with apple sauce, but
this one is made with sliced apples.
The kind of apples used are either Mcin-
tosh of Granny Smith. One day 1 used an
Empire apple that even though they are the
most crunchy, they also contain more of a
water content. So the cake did not come out
as well as the other kind of apple.
Golden Apple Cake
1 stick butter (or margarine)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 3/4 cups flour
3 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large apples (peeled and sliced)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar (for the apples)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Before you begin making the cake, peel
the apples, and place them in the microwave
for two minutes. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg
and sugar to the apples. Set aside.
Now for the cake.
Cream butter and sugar together until well
blended. Add the dry ingredients alternately
with the milk and eggs and beat for one min-
ute on medium. Add the vanilla and beat for
another minute or so.
In a greased baking pan. add a layer of the
cake mixture. Then add the apples. On top
of that add the rest of the mixture and bake
for about 35 minutes or when a toothpick or
knife comes out clean.
If you prefer just baking the cake, just
eliminate the apples.

Raymond! Petition Would
Prevent 'T' Billboards Here
(Cont'd From Page I)
MBTA had a special right to
put up ads on its own prop-
erty without local zoning
review.
Mayor Tom Koch
fired off a letter to Daniel
Grabauskas, general manag-
er of the MBTA, citing the
placement of the billboard
as a contravention of a spe-
cial act allowing the agency
to operate in Quincy.
"That act provides that all
improvements undertaken
by the T within our city shall
be subject to our zoning or-
dinances — which specifi-
cally prohibits the erection
of billboards," he wrote.
"In addition, the special
act specifically provides:
'No billboards shall be
erected under the provisions
of this act.'"
Raymondi's petition
would prohibit the MBTA
from "constructing, erecting,
placing and/or maintaining
off premises signs which is
a sign that advertises or an-
nounces a use conducted
or goods provided that are
available elsewhere than
within the building and/or
structure and/or on the lot
on which the sign is located
in the city of Quincy that
is:
"• in a predominantly
residential neighborhood.
"• not in harmony with or
suitable for the surrounding
area or would do significant
damage to the visual envi-
ronment.
"• within 300 feet of a
park, playground, cemetery,
forest. ReservaUon and/or
any other scenic or recre-
afional area, walking path/
trail, historic or conserva-
tion area, regardless of own-
ership, which is available
for public use or reserved
for the public if within view
of the same at any time of
the year; and
"• not in conformity and
not in compliance with the
local zoning ordinances and
regulations of the city of
Quincy unless approved by
the city of Quincy 's Zoning
Board of Appeals.
"No such off-premises
sign shall be constructed,
erected, placed and/or main-
tained with the purpose of
circumventing the intent of
this Home Rule Petition."
The precise location of
the billboard site on Burgin
Parkway has not been dis-
closed but Raymondi not-
ed that the best location
of MBTA-owned land is
around the Quincy Center
station.
Quincy is particulady
sensitive to billboards in
the wake of the long dis-
pute over the electronic
billboard that hangs over
the Southeast Expressway
from Willard Street in West
Quincy.
"I intend to do every-
thing within my power to
prevent the construction
of any billboard in the city
of Quincy while I serve as
mayor," said Koch.

$100 Trash Fees Or Stickers Could Aid DPW Budget
An annual $100 trash
fee could cut the city's trash
collection costs nearly in
half, according to Michael
Coffey, Business Manager,
Department of Public Works
(DPW).
Coffey estimated that an
annual trash fee of $100 as-
sessed to 30,000 households
would generate $3 million
toward the current $6.7 mil-
lion trash pickup and dis-
posal budget.
An alternative program
requiring trash stickers
could raise $750,000 to $1
million a year, according to
Coffey. Under that plan, a
resident's first barrel would
be collected free each week
while all additional barrels
MICHAEL COFFEY
would require one-dollar
stickers.
In addition, Coffey said
the DPW could reduce the
$191,000 yard waste col-
lection costs by schedulmg
pickups on "12 weeks in-
stead of 24 weeks," and by
instituting fees for collec-
tion of white g(K)ds, televi-
sions, and electronics.
Coffey presented financ-
ing alternatives and other
potential cost-cutting mea-
sures for the DPW to the Fi-
nance Committee on March
18. He, also, offered charts
showing that neighboring
communities, except for
Boston, charge even higher
trash collection fees.
The Finance Committee
has asked all departments to
project the savings potential
from new fees, revisions in
service, or manpower re-
assignments in an effort to
prepare for both the 2010
and 201 1 budgets.

At the same time that
DPW officials are trying to
reduce trash and yard waste
tonnage, they are trymg to
increase recyclmg collec-
tions.
Recycling efforts are suc-
ceeding, according to Cof-
fey who said, "Our (trash)
disposal costs are going
down, because our recyclmg
is going up"
Coffey said the current
contract includes an $87 a
ton charge for trash and a
$22 a ton credit for recy-
cling.
However. Coffey warned
that the $22 a ton payback is
only good for the two years
remaining m the current
contract. He said that Bos-
ton is currently paymg $55 a
ton to dispose of recycling
The DPWs Program
Manager John .Sullivan de-
scribed prf)grams designed
to educate residents regard-
ing 'single stream' recycling
and his outreach to large
residential rental buildings
"We're actually targeting
multi-family (units)," said
Sullivan.
For some renters, xhcxa
IS little incentive to recycle,
according to Sullivan who
noted that trash for buildings
with more than eight units is
disposed of privately
Sullivari. also, described
a pnjject underway whereby
f(K)d waste is collected from
businesses and the city gets
free loam in return
Councillors questioned
Coffey regarding the DPW s
overtime budget, which is
over budget by $27 JS59 with
three months remaining the
fiscal year

Program Resumes For Third Year After Receiving $9,955 Grant
^Cops In Shops' To Combat Teen Drinking
WARNINfi
By TOM HENSHAW
Starting tomorrow (Fri-
day) and continuing through
the summer it's going to be
risky for those involved in
providing alcohol for under-
age drinkers in Quincy.
The Cops m Shops pro-
gram, in which police offi-
cers work in package stores
to ferret out purchasers of
liquor for teens, is resum-
ing for the third year with a
$9,955.22 grant.
The program was devel-
oped hy The Century Coun-
cil of Arlington, Va., and the
funding for Quincy 's par-
ticipation comes from the
Governor *s Office of Public
Safety and Security.
The program works like
this:
One undercover police
officer is placed as an em-
ployee in the packie to look
for fake IDs. Warning signs
are posted but the time he is
there is not disclosed.
"Under 2 1 ?" the signs ask
prospective customers. "Po-
lice Officers May Be Posing
As Store Employees."
A second officer is sta-
tioned outside in the parking
lot in an unmarked car to
watch for autos with under-
age drivers or passengers.
"We practice zero toler-
ance," said Detective Lt. Pe-
ter Turowski, the Police De-
partment's liquor inspector.
"All are arrested, including
those of legal age who might
be buying for the others.
"We also do compliance
checks, sending underage
kids in to try and purchase
alcohol without showing
IDs. We'll be doing that all
summer, too."
"We have to notify the
public through the media
that we are doing this."
Turowski said the Cops
in Shops program has been
welcomed warmly by the li-
censees of the liquor stores
for it places the onus on the
underage perpetrator.
"You can be assured that
if your clerks make a mis-
take, they will not be cited
or fined," said his note to
shop owners. "The officers
are there to work with you
and your employees to de-
ter minors from purchasing
liquor.
"Remember, the signage
itself serves as a major de-
terrent for shoplifters and
minors trying to buy alco-
hol."
Turowski said most
crimes committed by under-
age drinkers fall into three
categories:
• Unlawful sale or deliv-
ery to a minor.
• A minor in possession
of alcohol.
• Possession of an altered
ID or Massachusetts Driv-
er's License or uses ID of
another.
He also warned that the
presence of liquor in any
car of an underage driver or
passenger, unless accompa-
nied by a parent or guardian,
is grounds for arrest of ev-
eryone in the car.
"Kids don't seem to
know that," he said.
The Century Council is a
national not-for-profit orga-
nization funded by the na-
tion's leading distillers and
dedicated to fighting drunk
driving and underage drink-
ing.
It has assisted Cops in

than 42 states.

Kelly Vows Fight To Keep
Labor Leaders Support
Houghs Neck Station Open B J.'s Wholesale Club Project
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Ward 1 City Councillor
Leo Kelly Monday pledged
to fight any attempt to relo-
cate the Houghs Neck Fire
Station or combine the sta-
tion with its neighboring
station.
"It's a terrible idea,"
Kelly said, describing the
fire station on Sea Street as
essential to protecting that
peninsula. Kelly said the
residents fought to get good
fire coverage and they will
fight to keep it.
Kelly spoke after Act-
ing Fire Chief Joseph Bar-
ron said the Germantown
and Houghs Neck stations
should be relocated and con-
solidated at Palmer and Sea
Street, a move that would
increase efficiency and de-
crease costs.
Barron and Kelly spoke
at Monday's Safety Com-
mittee meeting chaired by
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin.
While Kelly worried
about Houghs Neck cover-
age, Coughlin and Ward 5
Councillor Douglas Gutro,
also, questioned Barron's
decision to pull Ladder 2
(Wollaston) out of service,
when necessary, to save the
department's overtime bud-
get.
Gutro and Coughlin said
they weren't notified that
Ladder 2 would periodically
be pulled from service in
what officials call a "brown-
out," due to lack of man-
power.
"Ladder 2 was never on
the table," Gutro said of
previous budget discussions
with fire department offi-
cials. He then described the
massive Ladder 2 coverage
area.
The decision was made
Feb. 27,according to Barron
who called the councillors
after published reports.
"I felt we could with-
stand that cut," said Barron
who described dealing with
"huge spikes in overtime."
Gutro noted that the Fire
Department has $225,000
left to cover its overtime
in the budget which closes
June 30.
Monday's Finance Com-
mittee meeting was sched-
uled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
but was delayed by the Pub-
lic Service Committee.
Chairman John Keenan
will reschedule the meeting.
Keenan warned councillors
that the financial concerns
will only multiply in the
weeks, months and years
ahead.
"There's is no wiggle
room in these budgets,"
Keenan said. "It's going to
be even uglier. Every de-
partment is facing it."
Cont 'd From Paf^e 2
Developers, outlined the
development plans for an
85,000 square foot retail es-
tablishment with 387 park
ing spaces.
The building will be lo-
cated on the 7.5 acres which
formerly housed the Patriot
Ledger pnnting press.
"We probably had the
most in-depth study of any
(project) ever done in the
city, including Lowe's," said
Fleming
In fact, Fleming said that
with its bnck fa<^ade and
green awnings and added
landscaping, the building
would not have the "typical
B.J 's' big box style because
developers adopted "stan-
dards from the nearby office
park "
"We tried to pay atten-
tion to every detail." said
Fleming who said, "South
Quincy is experiencing a
resurgence (with new small
office buildings as well) "
Fleming, also, noted that
the Planning Board and the
Conservation Commission
as well as state agencies
have approved the project,
including MEPA, the state's
environmental watchdog
The BJ's team. also,
presented traffic projections,
suggesting that the retail op-
eration will not adversely
impact the office park, com-
muter traffic or the neigh-
borh(K)d
"We're going Xo have
jobs for Quincy p)eople."
said Fleming
Cit) Council, acting as
the Special Permit Granting
Authority (SPCjA). must ap-
prove a Special Permit for
the plan which has already
been the subject of several
legal disputes between the
city and the developer.

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Torn Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Departmeta
Atlantic Middle School Honor Roll
New Codes, Regulations Coming
Here we go again! 1 just
opened a packet of updated
code and regulations from
the State Fire Marshal and
we're asked to enforce new
changes once again. This
time it will apply to all
homes while immediately
affecting those up for sale
needing a smoke and carbon
monoxide detector certifi-
cate from us. The new reg-
ulation will take effect on
January 1, 2010 while this
article will forewarn you of
its coming.
I just wrote an article on
the subject suggesting that
we'd see more of this issue
in the months to come. Lit-
tle did I know how soon it
would surface while months
turned into days, literally.
Here's what it's about.
Studies have shown that
a photoelectric smoke de-
tector is quicker to sense
the larger, visible smoke
particulates which are more
prevalent in a slowly devel-
oping, smoldering fire such
as that found in the incipi-
ent stages of a fire in uphol-
stered furniture. This type of
fire is more prevalent within
a home, which is why a pho-
toelectric smoke detector is
preferred within a home.
That being said, Massachu-
setts' regulations pertaining
to smoke detectors as of
January 1, 2010 will specify
the need for photoelectric
detectors within homes.
Ionization type of smoke
detectors are historically
more prevalent where they
have been less expensive to
purchase and make. They're
easier to find as well. How-
ever, that same study has
indicated that they are less
effective against your more
common residenfial fires,
smoldering fires. Conse-
quently, the State Fire Mar-
shal's Office is now attempt-
ing to prompt households to
comply with these newer
findings, requiring the more
effective photoelectric type.
This is how the regulation
is written. There will be no
grandfathering of existing
conditions. Older homes,
built prior to the need for

hard-wired smoke detec-
tors, will now require a bat-
tery operated photoelectric
smoke detector when it is to
be located within 20 feet of
a kitchen or bathroom.
In other words, an ion-
ization type of smoke detec-
tor can no longer be located
within 20 feet of a bathroom
or kitchen no matter how
old the home. Outside of
that 20 feet, let's say at the
base of the cellar stairs, a
combination photoelectric/
ionizafion detector will be
required and if not avail-
able, a separate photoelec-
tric and an ionization type of
detector is required. That's
right; two detectors will be
required under certain cir-
cumstances!
Here's hoping the tech-
nology for the combination
type is available by then
otherwise two separate de-
tectors will be required in
areas outside of the 20 feet.
Here's hoping the manufac-
turers clearly mark the dif-
ferent types as well. At any
rate, you heard it here first!
Remember, this change
will apply to all homes while
our inspections will initially
be directed at homes under
agreement for sale where
a certificate from us is re-
quired. Meanwhile, come
January, we will be here
to guide you through these
changes and answer any
questions you may have.
The Nicole's Law imple-
mentation went well, I be-
lieve this will do so as well.

Barron who said that cash

Mortgage holders, such

Davis suggested that city
officials establish links be-
tween the Registry of Deed
and the Assessors' office in
an effort to alert city offi-
cials to all property transac-
tions.
Duca described the city's
official Task Force, which
conducts home inspections
when ownership changes,
or there are reports of ille-

checked 10 properties last
week.
The four-year-old Task
Force consists of represen-
tatives from the Building,
Fire, Police, and Health De-
partments and the Code En-
forcement Officer.
"As soon as we get a
complaint, we place it on
the Task Force agenda and
send out a letter requesting
inspection. After a week, the
address is placed on the list
and the team attempts to en-
ter the building.
In the past year, the lask
Force conducted over 1 .()(K)
inspections, accordmg to
Duca. Of that number. the>
issued 109 complaints, rang-
ing from a lack of smoke de-
tectors to msufficient exits

Cleaning Area Rugs
Q^ My mother gave me
• two very nice Oriental
rugs for my apartment, which
has old pine- board flooring.
What's the best way to clean
them? Can I steam clean
them? - Megan, via e-mail
A^ Steam cleaning is not
• recommended for an-
tique Oriental rugs, for a number
of reasons: The threads could be
damaged by the wafer, colorfast-
ness may be an issue and so on.
So slay away from the rental
steam cleaners in your local
supermarket, as they are more
suited to wall-to-walJ carpets.
Vacuuming is fine for most
rugs, though you'll want to set
the height of the vacuum about
a notch higher than the "carpet"
setting on the machine. Vacuum-
ing will pick up dust and small
debris and is the best way to
keep the rugs clean through the
year.
But what if the rugs are really
dirty? Pick up a comer of one of
the rugs and kick the underside.
If a cloud of dirt flies out of the
rug, it's time for a more thor-
ough cleaning than a vacuum
can provide. At this point, you
can either have them cleaned
professionally - something you
may want to do if they are really
antiques — or you can clean them
yourself, if you have the space to
hang them up.
You'll need: a vacuum clean-
er, cold water, mild rug sham-
poo, a soft natural brush and a
window squeegee.
Lay the rugs out on a garage
floor or clean driveway. Vacuum
the top and underside of each rug
to remove surface dirt. Fill a pail
with water and rug shampoo.
Test one spot on each rug for
colorfastness first with the soapy
water. If the colors don't run,
begin cleaning by dipping the
soft brush in the soapy water and
brushing in the same direction as
the nap. Wet the nap thoroughly.
Wash the fringes as well, and
brush out dirt.
Rinse the rug thoroughly
with cold, running water and
squeegee in the direction of the
nap until no more water is forced
out. Let the rugs dr\ flat, turn-
ing over when the nap feels dry.
Once dn.. vacuum or brush one
last time to fluff out the pile.
HOME TIP: Spot-clean
Oriental rugs by adding 1/4 cup
white vinegar to two cups cool
water; add one squirt of liquid
dish detergent and clean the spill
or stain with a brush or sponge.
The vinegar prevents dyes in the
rug from running.

Before you dive into your
spring home improvement,
keep a few points in mind:
Your Finances
First, get your tree credit
score and report. Any sig-
nificant home improvement,
such as building an addition
or turning your backyard
into an oasis, is probably go-
ing to require you to find fi-
nancing. Before you make a
single phone call to a poten-
tial lender, it pays to know
your credit score and what is
on your credit report. Gen-
erally, the higher your credit
score, the more leverage
you will have to negotiate a
good financing deal, includ-
ing a lower interest rate.
Enrollment in member-
ship based products like
FreeCreditReport.com give
you access to your free cred-
it report and score, which
potential lenders will almost
certainly use to determine
if you're a good credit risk.
You'll be able to see what
finance companies see when
you look at your credit re-
port, including your pay-
ment history and whether
there are any errors or other
blemishes on your report.
Once you're confident of
your credit score, you can
evaluate your financing op-

tions, whether it's a second

credit or a home equity line
of credit.
Smart Choices
Some financed home im-
provement projects pay off
more than others in terms
of enhancing your home's
value and your enjoyment of
your house. If you're opting
for improvements to your
outdoor living spaces, con-
sider ones that will deliver
the greatest return for your
investment, such as pafios,
decks or screened porches,
in fact, the National As-
sociation of Realtors' 2008
Remodeling Cost vs. Value
found that outdoor improve-
ments, such as wood decks,
continue to recoup 80 per-
cent or more in value upon
resale.
Landscaping, it seems,
is also popular with poten-
tial buyers - a University of
Michigan study found that
potenfial buyers scored a
well -landscaped home 11.3
percent higher than the same
home without good land-
scaping. The trend for more
Americans to stay home and
invest in their surroundings,
rather than spend on pricey
vacations, has spurred in-
terest in grand backyards
that evoke the look and ex-
perience of a resort. From
in-ground pools with water
slides to lavishly fiered pa-
tios that feature built-in hot
tubs, a growing number of
homeowners are focusing
on outdoor improvements
that improve resale value
and their current enjoyment
of their homes.
Before you make your
summer remodeling plans,
check your free credit report
at www.FreeCreditReport.
com. If you plan to sell your
home within five years, it
might pay to check with
your realtor as well to see
if he or she can give you
an idea of how much your
investment might affect the
eventual sale price of your
home.

First-Time Homebuyer Tax
Credit, Energy Efficient
Tax Credit Explained
By MADELENE SEMERIA
Calling the current real
estate market a "buyers
market" is an understate-
ment!
Low interest rates,
dropping house prices and
most importantly a federal
tax credit offered to first
time home buyers.
Recent changes in the
economic stimulus bill of-
fers first time home buyers
a tax credit of up to $8,000,
which does not need to be
repaid. The original tax
credit offered to first time
buyers was more of an
interest free loan; how-
ever recent changes have
increased the tax credit as
well as lifted the need to
repay the money.
I am surprised that more
first time home buyers are
not taking advantage of
this great opportunity
The tax credit is ap-
plicable on the purchase
of a primary residence on
or after January V\ 2009
and before December 1",
2009. The credit is only
offered to first time home
buyers, which is identi-
fied as any purchaser (and
purchase's spouse) who
has either never owned a
property or who has not
owned a primary residence
in the past 3 years prior to
the purchase. This option
opens up the opportunity
to buyers who may have
sold their property in the
past and were unable to
buy a home in the past few
years when prices began
to skyrocket. Applying for
and receiving the credit is
a seamless addition when
filing your taxes, since it
will simply be claimed on
the tax return. It is sug-
gested that first time home
buyers consult a tax pro-
fessional before applying
for this tax credit.
While the tax credit
available is up to $8000,
or 10% of the home's val-
ue, some income limits do
apply. For a married cou-
MADELENE SEMERIA
pie the combined income
cannot exceed $150,000 in
order to qualify. The avail-
ability of this tax credit is
an outstanding opportunity
for buyers. This additional
money can be used to help
furnish the new home or
to make wanted improve-
ments. First time home
buyers should not miss out
on their window of oppor-
tunity to receive this credit,
which is truly a gift.
Current homeowners
looking to make energy
efficient improvements to
their current property may
also be eligible for a tax
credit. An additional aspect
of the stimulus bill includes
a tax credit of 30% of the
cost of the improvements,
not to exceed $1500, for
any energy efficient im-
provements. The type of
improvements eligible for
this credit include: energy
efficient insulation, heat-
ing/cooling units, doors
and windows. Again, it
is recommended that you
discuss these items with a
tax professional in order to
maximize your return.

Go Green With Feng Shui H^^ (o Make Any Room Look Bigger
(ARA^ - Your home is "WnnlHn't vmi rather oft i»n- •/ ^^
(ARA) - Your home is
your oasis; the place you go
to relax, regroup and reener-
gize. If you desire some bal-
ance in not only your life but
in the world at large, maybe
it's time to incorporate the
principles of both Feng Shui
and green living into your
design.
The two concepts are
compatible, says Cheryl
Amantea, chair of both the
Advertising and Fashion &
Retail Management degree
programs at The New Eng-
land Institute of Art in Bos-
ton. "Feng Shui incorporates
plants, sunlight, cleanliness
and the elements of running
water and circulation of air,
so it's not a stretch to put
the 'green lifestyle' in with
Feng Shui."
"Feng Shui (pronounced
fung sch-way) means 'wind
water.' It connects what is
seen (environment) with
what is unseen (energy)
~ often referred to as chi
(pronounced chee)," says
Amantea.
Chi can be found in your
color scheme and placement
of objects, with each color
symbolizing different char-
acteristics. Aptly enough,
green symbolizes life,
growth, vitality and energy.
Yellow and earth tones rep-
resent health, while blue is
symbolic of knowledge and
red is used for power.
Placement is key to cre-
ating a positive chi. "Picture
your home as an octagon,"
says Amantea. Find the true
front door of your home and,
according to interior design
student Adam Neidlinger at
The Art Institute of India-
napolis, ensure air and en-
ergy are moving in a steady
nurturing manner.
"The flow of the energy
or chi through a space can
be increased or decreased by
the objects being placed in
the room," says Neidlinger.
"Wouldn't you rather get en
ergy from a natural, sustain-
able, green object than from
a manufactured, most likely
chemical-filled object?"
Bamboo is a great ele-
ment because it is natural,
clean and it quickly regen-
erates itself. Live plants are
also important according to
Neidlinger. "Plants renew
the air which is what carries
the energy in a room."
LEED accredited archi-
tect and engineer Samuel
Hurt who instructs at The
Art Institute of Indianapolis
agrees with Amantea, but
is not exactly sold on Feng
Shui as green living. "Per-
sonally I'm a bit skeptical
about Feng Shui and some of
the claims, but that doesn't
mean it is a completely use-
less way to clean up the en-
vironment," says Hurt.
Through his teaching of
sustainable design and his
renowned, sustainable work
on buildings in the Midwest,
Hurt has become well -versed
in the green movement. He
believes that if Feng Shui
wants to combine with sus-
tainable design, however it
is defined, we are all better
off.
"If Feng Shui can assist
in reducing contamination
in the world, then that is
fine. And good for anyone
else who can advance the
same cause, no matter what
the particular path may be,"
says Hurt.
Dr. Peggy Way, adjunct
psychology professor at
Argosy University, Nash-
ville, considers Feng Shui
and green living as a means
to promote positive men-
tal health and stress reduc-
tion. "Utilize Feng Shui
and green living to create a
personal space that will help
sustain and renew you in the
midst of a stressful profes-
sional life."

(ARA) - In this economy,
few people can afford to
knock down walls or put
an addition on their homes.
However, for considerably
less money, any room can
appear larger and look better
with one or two strategically
placed sconces.
"As consumers move
from buying new houses to
remodeling their existing
homes, wall sconces can
be an attractive answer to
consumers' lighting needs,"
explains Simone Raclin,
creative director of Justice
Design Group, a California-
based lighting manufac-
turer.
Sconces are lighting fix-
tures that are mounted to
a wall and provide subtle
illumination and a warm
ambiance. "Sconces bring
human scale to a room and
finish the space," notes Joe
Rey-Barreau AI A , lES , CSI ,
architect, educational con-
sultant for the American
Lighting Association (ALA)
and professor of interior
design at the University of
Kentucky.
When many people think
of this type of lighting, the
first image that may come to
mind is a hotel hallway, yet
sconces are gaining popu-
larity in sophisticated resi-
dences all over the country.
Brad Kleinberg, president
of Crystorama Lighting
Group, a New York-based
lighting manufacturer, be-
lieves young admirers of
the category are drawn to
styles inspired by their fa-
vorite luxury resorts, hotels
and restaurants. "They want
what they've seen in Vegas,
but scaled down to a resi-
dential size," he remarks,
noting that styles run the
gamut from ornate, splashy
looks to cleaner lines with a
contemporary feel
"An upstairs hallway is
an excellent application for
wall sconces," Rey-Barreau
states. "In fact, ADA -com-
pliant models, which are
required for commercial in-
stallations, are a great choice
for homes because they do
not extend out from the wall
very much. They create a
nice, repetitive pattern down
a hallway." He advises put-
ting the lighting on a dim-
mer control where one can
use a lower light level to
create ambiance, and plac-
ing fixtures every eight feet
for balanced illumination.
"Customers have discov-
ered how usefiil and beau-
tiful wall sconces can be
in almost any room," says
Raymond Christensen, an
ALA-certified Lighting Spe-
cialist, designer, and owner
of Ray Lighting + Design
Studios LLC in Hartford,
Conn. Another unique qual-
ity is their ability to expand
the look of a space. "Instead
of dark comers, which occur
when you only have a center
light, sconces can illuminate
those areas," Christensen
explains.
"I also find that many of
my customers do not like
a lot of recessed lighting.
They want softer lighting
that can create a mood — and
sconces are much more ef-
fective at that than recessed,
even if they are dimmed,"
Christensen says.
Recessed fixtures send
light in only one direction,
generating strong shadows.
Sconces send illumination
in many directions, using the
wall as a reflector to project
light into the room and cre-
ate warm shadows.
At Vermont-based light-
ing manufacturer Hubbard-
ton Forge, "We try to cre-
ate something that looks as
good off as when it is lit,"
notes George Chandler,
chief executive officer and
chief designer. The result
is functional artwork. "You
can create a point of interest
with a decorative sconce;
it can fill a wall." He re-
calls one homeowner who
installed three sconces in a
row, vertically, alongside a
tall foyer staircase. These
sconces served as sculptural
accents for the blank sur-
face.
Sconces are also ideal in
media rooms , bedrooms , din-
ing rooms, living rooms and
bathrooms. "Even though
sconces have always been
the best choice (for master
baths), I am amazed by the
number of customers and
even professionals — such as
electricians and architects —
who want to use only one or
two recessed lights over the
sink," Christensen says. In-
stead of the harsh shadows
generated from recessed fix-
tures, a sconce on either side
of the mirror provides direct
light on the face, making
grooming tasks easier.
What's the best bulb type
for a sconce? The answer
depends on how you'll be
using the fixture. Rey-Bar-
reau points out that only
incandescent can be easily
and reliably dimmed. If the
sconce will be in an area
where changing the bulb is
difficult, it's best to opt for
fluorescent.
Working with an ALA-
accredited lighting designer
will guarantee results you
will love. For more guid-
ance in selecting the per-
fect sconces for your home,
visit a nearby ALA-member
lighting showroom. Go to
www.AmericanLightingAs-
soc.com for a list of stores
in your neighborhood. ALA
lighting showrooms have
trained lighting profession-
als and offer more variety
than home centers.

Remodel Home With
Buyers in Mind
If you're waiting out the hous-
ing market before you sell your
home, consider using this time to
remodel and increase its value.
You're likely to find deals not
only for the materials, but also in
the cost of remodelers looking for
work.
Look first to basic fixups you
can do yourself. Maintenance
items such as loose stair treads,
leaky windows and sagging gutters
should be first on your remodeling
list.
Work with what you have.
Sometimes just breaking out a
wall between a cramped kitchen
and the family room can add to ap-
pearance. Older kitchen cabinets
can be moved to the basement or
garage for more storage. Even new
cabinet fronts and upgraded bath-
room lighting can add a fresh look,
as can new tile in the bathroom or
on the kitchen backsplash.
For materials, check the Habi-
tat for Humanity ReStore in your
area, recycling centers, freebies
like FreeCycle and the free section
of craigslist.com, and building-
supply stores that are going out
of business (check your purchase
carefully as you likely won't be
able to make a return or get a re-
fund.)
If you're "underwater" (you
owe more than your house is
worth), a partial remodel can help
increase the potential selling price.
An additional bedroom in the attic
with a bathroom can add significant
value, as can a finished basement.
Consult with a real estate agent to
determine how much value an ex-
tensive remodel will add.
Strike a balance between what
a new buyer would likely want to
see when it's time to sell, and what
you can live with should you de-
cide to stay in the house. Beware
any customizations that a buyer
wouldn't appreciate.
Keep the outside of your home
in top shape at all times. Invest in
some shrubbery and flower bas-
kets, and keep the lawn mowed
and trimmed this summer. You
never know who might remember
it later or who might talk about that
"attractive house" down the street
with a "For Sale" sign in the yard.
Do the math before you start.
Look online for a remodeling bud-
get estimator to get an idea what
your intended project could cost,
then check those figures with calls
to hardware and supply stores.

George Burke Honored As Sun Citizen Of The Year
(Cont'd From Paf^e I)
"bittersweet" since it was the
first time since the award's
inception nearly a quarter
century ago that his father
- Quincy Sun Founder and
Publisher Henry Bosworth
- was not present to preside
over the ceremony.
Mr. Bosworth, a long-
time friend of Burke's who
had served on the judging
panel in January, died sud-
denly Feb. 7.
"Henry took great pride
in honoring recipients of this
award and certainly looked
forward to this day in recog-
nizing you, George," Robert
Bosworth said.
A moment of silence
was observed in Henry Bo-
sworth's memory.
Burke said he was deeply
touched to receive the hon-
or. "1 think it's the highest
award I have ever received
in my life. 1 want to thank
the committee for selecting
me."
Burke also singled out
the person who nominated
him for the award: Guido
"Budsy" Pettinelli. "I want
to thank you, Guido. You
are one of the dearest friends
I've ever had in my life."
Robert Bosworth pre-
sented Burke with a plaque
adorned with a clock. "The
clock is symbolic, George.
It represents all the time that
you have given to commu-
nity causes."
He also presented Burke
with a companion award:
a framed Special Page 1 of
The Quincy Sun highlight-
ing the honor. Copies of the
page - which also listed the
other 33 nominees for the
award and the names of the
judging panel - were dis-
tributed to those attending
Sunday's ceremony.
"I am so happy to receive
this award," Burke said.
"It is just amazing to me. I
want to thank everyone who
came here today. It means
so much to me to see my
friends here. I want to thank
everyone who spoke; your
words were so beautiful and
they touched me deeply. You
have to remember as you go
through life and finally go
on your way, there's only
thing you can take in the
end and that's what you've
given away."
In his remarks, Burke
fondly remembered his spe-
cial friendship and unique
bond - both personally and
professionally - with Mr.
Bosworth that spanned more
than 50 years.
"I truly loved Henry Bos-
worth," Burke said. " I think
he's one of the finest men
1 have ever met in my life.
He's a man of great integrity
and 1 say that as a reporter
and as a person. People talk
about what a great Catholic
he was going to Saint John's
4 o'clock Mass all the time
on Saturday. And he kept
himself in great condition
walking. He always tried to
get me to go with him but I
didn't much to my regret.
"I just thought he was
going to go on forever. Los-
ing Henry Bosworth has
been a tremendous shock to
me because I consider him a
great friend and a dear per-
son. I never met a man so
fair in my life in handing
out the stories he did and
how he wrote them and how
he always tried to be nice to
people when writing his col-
umn. And I know this man
- Robert Bosworth — will
carry on the legacy of Henry
Bosworth."
Bosworth thanked the
judging panel who selected
Burke for the honor. Serving
on the committee were:
Bette Campbell, director
of Quincy Access TV; the
Rev. William Harding, pastor
of Bethany Congregational
Church; Robert Noble, im-
mediate past co-recipient of
The Quincy Sun Citizen of
the Year Award (along with
his wife, Gloria); Maralin
Manning, executive director
of the Quincy Business As-
sociation; and Quincy High
School Principal Frank San-
toro.
Bosworth al so noted there
were 33 other nominees for
the award. "Like the Acad-
emy Awards, we are fond
of saying being nominated
is an honor in itself and we
certainly congratulate all the
other nominees."
Burke's journey to make
Quincy a better place to
live, work and raise a family
began in 1959 when he was
elected Ward 5 councillor.
He went on to become presi-
dent of the City Council, a
state representative and the
first Democrat to be elected
%--^
"I AM SO happy to receive this award," said Quincy Sun Cit-
izen of the Year George Burke at Sunday's reception at the
Quincy Sons of Italy Social Center. Burke is the newspaper's
26th award recipient which recognizes outstanding community
service.
SIN EDITOR Robert Bosnorth presents (ieorge Burke, the
Quincy Sun's Citizen of the Year for 2008, with an award clock
symbolizing all the time he has gi>en to community causes.

Norfolk County district at-
torney.
It was politics that
spawned many special rela-
tionships and friendships in
his life, Burke recalled.
"Dick Koch convinced
me to run for public office.
I was still in law school, 1
was not married, never held
public office, and 1 wasn't
a lawyer. 1 wasn't anything
except a law student. 1 was
playing (basketball) with
the Koch Club for many
years and Dick got me in-
volved with John Kennedy's
presidential campaign. And
1 got enamored of the politi-
cal life. Frank MCauley can
tell you: once it's bitten you,
you can't escape it. And 1
ran for office."
At the time. Quincy Led-
ger reporter Fred Hunt lived
near Burke in WoJlaston.
"Fred said 'George, I want
you to give me all your
(press) releases; don't give
them to Henry Bosworth.
"Well, Henry Bos-
worth came to me and said,
'George, give me all your
releases and don't give them
to Fred Hunt.' And I said,
'Fred Hunt's been a friend
of mine since 1 was a young
boy. I have to give them to
him. Henry said 'Well, we'll
have to share them.'
"That's when my friend-
ship with Henry Bosworth
started."
Burke also recounted
his historic win for Norfolk
County District Attorney
which he shared with Henry
Bosworth. At the time, Mr
Bosworth was a reporter for
the Boston Herald Traveler
and was coven ng the race for
Norfolk County District At-
torney. He and Burke were
together in Burke's Qumcy
Center campaign headquar-
ters on Election Night.
"l was 20,(XX) votes
down," Burke recalled.
"And Henry said to me
'Why are smiling George*^'
"And I said. T'm going to
be the first Democratic DA.
ever in this county. There's
been 2(X) years of Republi-
can D.A's and I'm going to
be the first Democrat.
'How can you say that
when you're 20.000 votes
down?' Bosworth asked
"I said: I know figures."
Bosworth then told Burke
if he were positive he'd get
elected, he said he'd wnte a
headline: First Democratic
District Attorney Ever In
Norfolk County which he
did do
"Henry stuck his neck
out for me and sure enough
the votes came in and I won
in a landslide." Burke said
'"Henry said to me. "George.
I loved that. 1 scooped ev-
erybody.'"
As a district attorney.
Burke was known for crack-
ing down on drug abuse
and for establishing pioneer
drug education classes in
state schools.
His communit) service
stretches well - and deep
- into man\ philanthropic

Burke recalled one La-
bor Day back when Henry
Bosworth and Dick Koch,
Sr. were co-chairmen of the
Quincy-South Shore Jerry
Lewis Labor Day Telethon
which was held locally in
The Quincy Sun office.
In a telephone call, Mr.
Bosworth told Burke the
committee may not reach its
fundraising goal. "I asked
Henry, 'what are you short?'
And Henry said, 'about
$2,600.' 1 told him 1 just
happened to have $2,600.
The headline in The Quincy
Sun the next day: Burke Puts
Us Over The Top.'
"He was always so kind
to me on those occasions."
Burke is also regarded
for rescuing the Colonel
John Quincy silver Tankard,
which had been put up for
auction in New York City by
United First Parish Church,
which needed the money for
repairs to its historic build-
ing.
The tankard is the only
known direct link to Colo-
nel Quincy, for whom the
city was named. Burke's bid
and cost to bring the heir-
loom back to Quincy was
approximately $200,000.
Quincy residents and
visitors can see the tankard
which is on display in the
lobby of new City Hall. The
tankard won't be going any-
where, either - Burke has
left it to the city in his will.
Burke is a 1956 gradu-
ate of UMass-Amherst and
a 1959 graduate of Boston
College Law School where
he was class president.
At UMass, he is in the
Hall of Fame. Burke - one
of only four players to have
their numbers retired - set
many basketball scoring re-
cords at UMass while wear-
ing the number 32. He held
those records until another
No. 32 - Julius Erving -
broke them. Dr. J went on to
a Hall of Fame career in the
NBA.
Burke is also in the New
England Basketball Hall of
Fame, and was a rookie for
the Boston Celtics.
A Korean War veteran,
and longtime attorney, he is
a member of the Quincy Bar
Association, the Massachu-
setts Supreme Judicial Court
and U.S. Supreme Court.
He is a member of the
Morrisette American Legion
Post and lives in Wollaston
with his wife, Sandra. They
have been married 50 years
and have five children.
Burke introduced his
family at the reception and
noted his wife couldn't at-
tend because of illness. "But
she wanted all of you to
know she is with us today in
spirit," he added.
A host of elected officials
also made presentations to
Burke at the reception.
Mayor Tom Koch
brought official greetings
on behalf of the city while
proclaiming Sunday, March
29, 2009 George Burke Day
in Quincy. He was joined
at the podium by former
Mayor Francis McCauley
in reading the proclama-
tion which noted Burke has
been a "fireless promoter of
youth sports" and has "posi-
tively influenced the lives of
countless young people.
"You've always support-
ed community organizations
in Quincy and have been
the first to answer residents'
needs, lending a helping
hand to so many who had no
where else to turn. You have
impacted the lives of many
and you have etched your
legacy into the very fabric
of our city.
"George is a favorite son
of Quincy who just contin-
ues to give and give and
give. He loves this city and
everything he does shows
that," the mayor added
State Representafives
Bruce Ayers and Steve
Tobin presented citations
from the House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate. Sen.
Michael Morrissey and Rep.
Ron Mariano were unable to
attend.
Tobin said:
"You've been someone
that I've had fun with but
also practiced some law
with over the years and hav-
ing dealt with you personal-
ly outside the political con-
text I find you to be every bit
the type of guy I'd want to
hang out with. You are just
a wonderful person and be-
ing The Quincy Sun Citizen
of the Year is a great tribute.
You have earned it."
Ayers said:
'It's a pleasure to be here
to recognize you. George
has a great legacy: advo-
cating for the values and
principles that he believes
in; volunteering his time,
energy and resources for
the many charities that he's
involved with. His only mo-
five is helping others with
his kindness and generosity.
He has dedicated himself to
the city he loves. His actions
surely should be an example
for all of us to show how
personal success and gain
can be used towards helping
others and the betterment of
the city."
Two Norfolk County
officials. Sheriff Michael
Bellotti and DA William
Keating, also spoke highly
of Burke while presenfing
citaUons.
Bellotfi said:
"As the world changes, as
the city changes, and neigh-
borhoods change, there are
fewer and fewer George
Burkes. Folks who are here
for generations and instill
values in the next generation
and encourage their kids to
stay in the neighborhoods
and be an integral part of
the success of a community.
But that's just a fact of life,
the world is changing and
we should embrace the new
world but as we do that, we
need to understand that peo-
ple like George Burke and
Henry Bosworth become
so important to a place like
Quincy. You're that thread
that connects generations
and values."
Keating said:
"George has had a leg-
acy of helping people. The
things George has done has
been helping people for the
sake of helping them and to
have no recognition for do-
ing that. That legacy confin-
ues and we're so grateful."
A commendafion from
the City Council was pre-
sented by City Council
President Jay Davis (Ward
4), Councillor John Keenan,
Ward 2 Councillor Dan Ray-
mondi and Ward 3 Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin.
Davis said:
"Your life George has
been one of commitment
to helping people. 1 am so
proud to call you a friend but
more so a mentor. On behalf
of a grateful city, on behalf
of a grateful City Council, 1
congratulate you today and
your family. This honor is
very well deserved."
Coughlin praised Burke
by quoting English author
Samuel Johnson. "The true
measure of a man is how he
treats someone who can do
him absolutely no good.
"What does that say
about you if you treat those
well only if they are a ben-
efit to you? Not much, as
opposed to treating those
well who can provide you
nothing in return. . . What
truly sets apart the man we
honor today is that George
Burke, the inner man has
always been as good as his
public image because they
have been synonomous.
"George has been mag-
nificent in his ability to be
magnanimous, he has been
charitable, courteous, and
chivalrous not just when it
is convenient, but when it
served a purpose far greater
than himself.
"He has been a role
model for the realizafion
that true men of stature are
strong enough in mind and
spirit and secure enough in
themselves to be compas-
sionate and considerate of
others. He is one of the true
men of distinction who rec-
ognize and respect the dig-
nity of others. He is a man
worthy of honor because
he consistently honors the
worth of honors.
"He is outstanding be-
cause he has never left any-
one standing out in the cold

of injustice and insensitivity.
He is one of a few good men
who have learned to seek the
good of others as well as the
good within himself. He is
indeed a light in dark places
because he has always been
part of the solution."
Keenan grew up near
George Burke in the Wollas-
ton Hill section of the city,
'i got to see the other side of
George. It is what he and his
wife, Sandra - Mr. and Mrs.
Burke to us - accomplished
with their great family. It
was a wonderful place to
grow up and what a wonder-
ful job Mr. and Mrs. Burke
did with their family bring-
ing them up in this great city
and all the while doing so
many other things for the
community. Congratulations
on an honor well deserved."
Raymondi said:
"There are many people
in all our lives who make us
better people and of course
we can cite our parents, we
can cite our relatives, we
can cite people we meet
along the way. George was

A Job Well Done
On Saturday, March 25, 2009, at approximately 2:20
p.m., Officer Stephen Cleary was just finishing a detail
in the area of Dunkin Donuts on Sea Street when he ob-
served a male (suspect #1) standing outside a taxi from
another city talking to another male (suspect #2) who was
inside his own vehicle. The officer, in his personal ve-
hicle, was able to observe the two males, as they appeared
to be in some type of nego- ,^. . ,. ,. ,,^.^,. . . ., .„ *. ,,
tiation.
Officer Cleary watched
as suspect #1 handed sus-
pect #2 an unknown item,
then saw suspect #2 roll up
several dollar bills and put
a red elastic around them,
then give it to suspect #1.
Based on the officer's train-
ing and experience, he be-
lieved a drug transaction just
occurred. As Officer Cleary
approached the vehicles,
suspect #1 got into his taxi and left the parking lot, but not
before the officer was able to get the license plate.
Officer Cleary broadcasted that the vehicle was wanted
for questioning in a drug deal. The Officer then went to
suspect #2's vehicle to question him, but it appeared that
he was not in the car. As Officer Cleary approached the
car, he found suspect #2 lying in the back seat with a
belt wrapped around his right arm and a needle full
with what was believed to be Heroin. When suspect #2
saw the officer, he took the needle out, bent the stem
and then threw it to the floor by his feet. Officer Cleary
removed the suspect from the vehicle and placed him un-
der arrest for possession of Class A Heroin.
In addition to the needle, the Officer found one small
plastic bag filled with what he believed to be Heroin. Af-
ter reading the suspect his rights, suspect #2 stated that
he bought one bag of Heroin from the cab driver, but did
not know the name of his dealer. Communications was
notified that the cab driver was now wanted for distribu-
tion of Class A Heroin. Sergeant Steve Igo and Officer
Paul Foley searched the general area and stopped the taxi
in the 800 block of Sea Street.
Sergeant Igo asked the operator/suspect #lto step out
of the vehicle and explained to him the reason for the stop.
He then explained to the suspect that Officer Foley and
his K9 were going to search the vehicle for narcotics. The
suspect stated that he had a container under his seat con-
taining Heroin.
Officer Cleary arrived on scene, positively id'd sus-
pect #1 and then placed him under arrest for distribu-
tion of Class A Heroin. A search of the vehicle produced
one cell phone, $427 .(X) in cash wrapped in a red elas-
tic, one orange plastic snorting device, one police scanner,
and one blue Mento container containing three small plas-
tic bags filled with a brown powdery substance believed to
be Heroin.
Suspect #1 was given his Miranda Warnings but re-
fused to answer any questions. Suspect #1, a 23-year-
old Quincy resident, was charged with "Manufacturing/
Distributing Class A Drug, Conspiracy of Controlled Sub-
stance Laws, Selling Controlled Substances near a School
and Possession of Class A with the Intent to Distribute."
Suspect #2, a 53-year-old Quincy resident, was charged
with "Possession of Class A Drug and Conspiracy in Vio-
lation of Controlled Substance Laws."
Nice Work!
a
RECENT SCAM RESURFACING: This decade
old scam is coming around again, and usually focuses on
seniors. A person will randomly call homes looking for
someone who will fall for the following story: The caller
states that he/she is calling on behalf of the victim's grand-
child, who was arrested in Canada. The caller states that
the grandparent needs to wire $2,500.00 to a Constable in
Toronto so that the grandchild will be released.
This scam has survived the decade because it works
enough to be profitable. If you get this call, contact the
Police and let us investigate if it is legitimate, which is
unlikely.
□
Another scam coming around again and brought to my
attention by Officer Stephen O'Donoghue is the telephone
solicitation by people claiming to represent credit card
companies. This ruse has the caller asking for the expira-
tion date and the security code (3 numbers) of the card in
order to verify a purchase. As always, do not give out any
personal information over the phone and if you need to
contact your credit card company, call the number listed
on the back of your card.

Put These Safety Tips In Your Easter Bonnet
There was a time when Easter was making your son
the most dangerous part of wear those scratchy gray-
Be Still, My
Racing Heart
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
During the night and mostly
early in the morning hours, my
heart speeds up to 200 heats a
minute. There is no pain, but it
waives me up and seems to hap-
pen if I am lying facedown. I sit
up and take my pulse, which is
about 70 to 72. I feel my heart
slowly return to normal in two
to three minutes. I have worn a
Hotter monitor for 24 hours.
My doctor says not to worry
about it. Do you think I have
anything to worry about? - S.
ANSWER: For readers: A
Holler monitor is a device worn
externally that records all heart-
beats in a given time period. They
can be worn for three or more days .
The doctor sees on the recording
what kind of abnormal heartbeats
occurred.
I have to clear something up
with you, S. Is your pulse 72 beats
a minute when you feel your heart
beating fast? The heartbeat and the
pulse are one and the same. How
are you counting your heartbeat?
If the episodes occurred while
you were being monitored and did
not last long, then the doctor can
dismiss it as not being worrisome.
He should name the rhythm; ask
what it is.
If the fast heartbeats occurred
at times you weren't wearing the
monitor, you need to wear it longer
so that the rhythm can be identified
for what it is.
The booklet on heartbeat irreg-
ularities describes the more com-
mon kinds of these beats and how
they are treated. Readers can order
a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -
No. 107W, Box 536475, Orlando,
FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check
or money order (no cash) for $4.75
U .S./$6 Canada with the recipient's
printed name and address. Please
allow four weeks for dehvery.
***
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
None of my 2 1 grandchildren has
had their tonsils out. All of my
seven children did. Is this no lon-
ger done? I wish doctors would
make up their minds about these
things. -fi.^.
ANSWER: When your chil-
dren were young, it was almost
standard practice to remove tonsils
as a way to protect against strep
throat. We now know this isn't
necessary, and we now have anti-
biotics to treat strep throat.
Children who have repeated
strep throat infections still have
their tonsils removed, but the op-
eration is no longer done for pre-
vention.
***
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My
husband and I take Lipitor. We
take it before dinner in the eve-
ning. We eat half a grapefruit af-
ter breakfast. Is that OK? - ML.
ANSWER: You can take Lip-
itor any time of the day, and you
can take it with or without food.
It's one of the statin drugs - the
drugs that are such effective cho-
lesterol-lowerers.
Grapefruit and Lipitor are not a
good combination. Grapefruit can
increase the blood concentration
of this drug. It does the same with
a few other medicines. This effect
of grapefruit lasts for 24 hours, so
even letting 12 hours pass before
taking the drug after eating grape-
fruit doesn't lessen the chance of
this interaction occurring.
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is
unable to answer individual let-
ters, but he will incorporate them
in his column whenever possible.
Readers may write him or request
an order form of available health
newsletters at P.O. Box 536475,

flannelled trousers. These
days there are other wor-
ries, and according to some
child safety experts, parents
would be well advised to
become... well, egg-sperts
before making some Easter
plans.
"Eggs are a big part of our
kids' Easter traditions, but
they also come with some
inherent risks," says Linda
DeRose-Droubay, director
of Safety and Quality Com-
pliance at The Children's
Group, Inc., publisher of
popular children's catalogs
HearthSong® and Magic
Cabin®.
"There are some common
sense measures that parents
can take to make sure Easter
stays fun for everyone."
She offers up these tips
for Moms and Dads:
• Always buy eggs from
a refrigerated case and keep
them refrigerated before you
boil them in preparation for
decorating. Be sure to check
the "Sell by" dates.
• When you boil your
eggs, make sure the water
is hot (185-190 degrees F).
Cool your eggs in cold wa-
ter or allow cooling slowly
at room temperature.
• When shell eggs are
hard-cooked, the protective
coating is washed away,
leaving open pores in the
shell where harmful bacte-
ria could enter. Be sure to
refrigerate eggs within two
hours of cooking and use
them within a week.
• Don't eat or cook with
cracked eggs or eggs that
have been un-refrigerated
for more than two hours.
• If you plan to eat the
Easter eggs you decorate, be
sure to use only food grade
dye. (Some people make
two sets of eggs - one for
decorating and hiding, an-
other for eating.)
• Make sure to wash (and
re- wash) your hands, uten-
sils, and work surfaces to
keep bacteria from spread-
ing.
• Hide eggs in places that
are protected from dirt, pets,
and other bacteria .sources.
• Limit the hiding and
hunting time for real eggs to
two hours. Refrigerate them
immediately if they are to be
eaten.
• Eggs found hours later
or the next day should be
thrown out — - not eaten!
• Consider using plastic
eggs instead of real eggs for
Easter egg hunts.
On the hiding front,
DeRose-Droubay offers
these words of caution:
• Remember to avoid
hiding places near tempting
electrical outlets or plugs.
• Keep eggs at or below
eye level of younger chil-

comprehensive outpatient
nutrition program offering
one-on-one or group nu-
tritional assessment and
counseling to help patients
understand how food and
nutrition affect total health
and well-being.
The Milton Hospital Me-
dical Nutrition Therapy Pro-
gram was created to assist
local physicians who do not
have experienced and certi-
fied staff available to meet
the nutritional needs of their
patients. A team of registe-
red dieticians work closely
with patients to help them
understand how nutrition
therapy can aid in maintai-
ning overall health in addi-
tion to managing conditions
such as heart disease, diabe-
tes, cancer, gastrointestinal
problems, kidney disease,
high blood pressure and
weight management pro-
blems.
"The specialized care
that the program's certified
nutritionists provide em-
powers patients to make
the right decisions when it
comes to nutrition," said
Mercy Devadoss, RD, LDN,
registered dietitian at Milton
Hospital. "By providing
support, resources and the
power to make a change,
program participants are
able to reach their health and
wellness goals safely and
naturally with the necessary

"So many illnesses are
linked to one's diet. With
the rising prevalence of diet-

With the economy slowing
down the way it has, it's no won-
der some people are a desperate
for money. Unfortunately, some
of them are perpetuating scams on
seniors.
Also unfortunately, it's not
always easy to tell when you're
faced with a scam.
Sometimes the fraud involves
getting you to help scammers
move money out of a war-torn
country, and "you" are the one
they've picked to trust with their
millions. Of course, to show good
faith, you need to send them mon-
ey first.
Rule of thumb; Anytime a
stranger wants you to do anything
involving cashing checks or ac-
cessing your bank accounts, it's
a scam.
Then there's the scam that tries
to get you upset about a grand-
child. You get a phone call, and the
person at the other end says, "This
is your grandson. I'm in trouble.
Don't tell my parents." The hope
is that you won't bother to verify
that it really is your grandchild,
and that you'll immediately rush
down to wire funds to bail him out
of his problem.
Rule of thumb: Verify, verify,
verify. Don't send a dime until
you do.
One scam that's especially
sneaky and plays on our wish to
be good citizens is about jury duty.
You'll get a call saying you're
about to be arrested for failing to
show up for jury duty. When you
say that you never got the notice
to appear, you'll be asked to give
your Social Security number and
date of birth so your name can be
verified on the list. Don't do it.
The instant you give that informa-
tion, you're in line to become a
victim of identity theft.
Rule of thumb: Nobody in the
court system is going to ask you
for that information or intimidate
you about jury duty.

Fontbonne Iced W-H/Pemhroke, 3-0,
To Win Division II State Championship
Quincy^s Taylor Shepherd
Comes Up Huge
1^
By SEAN BRENNAN
Only a sophomore,
Squantum resident Taylor
Shepherd was a major piece
of the puzzle for Fontbonne
Academy's MI A A Girls
Hockey Division 11 State
Championship team.
Shepherd and her Ducks
steamed through the post-
season; Fontbonne knocked
oft Boston Latin Academy
3-0 in the opening round,
defeated Notre Dame of
Hingham,4-0, in the second-
round, shutout Duxbury HS,
3-0, in the semifinals and
earned the state title with a
3-0 victory over Whitman-
Hanson/Pembroke. And it
was a Shepherd's scoring
touch that led the way.
in the semifinals against
Duxbury, Shepherd collect-
ed three goals and she fol-
lowed that up with another
three-goal effort in the fi-
nals versus W-H/Pembroke,
including two goals in the
game's first seven minutes.
In four jX)st-season games.
Shepherd scored eight times
(Fontbonne outscored their
opponents 13-0) and for the
sea.son, she tallied 34 goals.
A deft scorer, it is Shep-
herd's all-around game that
impresses her head coach the
most .
"Taylor is the ultimate
team-based player," Ducks
coach Bob Huxley said about
his star sophomore. "She
scores a lot of goals for us,
but she is also a strong back
and fore-checker, she plays
hard when we are shorthand-
ed and she is a strong penalty
killer.
"She is a ver)' unselfish
player who should continue
to be a leader for us mov-
ing forward. Looking ahead
to next season, we return 17
players, and if this team con-
tinues to buy into the team
concept we have in place and
if they continue to work on
all aspects of their games, in-
cluding on the offensive and
defensive side of the ice, we
should be back in contention
next winter.
"And Taylor, and the type
of player she is, should be a
big part of Fontbonne 's fu-
ture success on the ice."
For Shepherd, her hockey
journey began at a young
age on the street hockey
courts of Squantum. Playing
against mosdy boys older
than her, she switched to the
ice around the age of seven
and continued to play mainly
with boys until the age of
eleven.
"My Monvactually grew
up in the house we live in
now. She likes to call her-
self a Squantum-ite, some-
one who grew up there and
raised their kids there, too,"
TAYLOR SHEPHERD
Shepherd said. "When I was
younger we had the street
hockey courts right down the
street and we would play in
the summer and winter and in
summer we would play from
nine in the morning till nine
at night. And I always played
with the boys because none
of the girls played hockey, it
wasn't the thing to do.
"Then I switched to ice
hockey when I was about
seven (playing in QYH) and
then at eleven I switched to
playing with girls and then
after that I went to an elite
team, the Lady Terriers, out
of Boston."
Shepherd's decision to
attend Fontbonne Academy
was one she made while in
the seventh grade. It was
a choice ba.sed on, not just
hockey, but academics and
the environment, which the
school provided.
"W hen 1 was in seventh
grade 1 started thinking about
going to Fontbonne," Shep-
herd added. "I knew I loved
it the first time 1 visited. I
.saw a couple of their hockey
games in the eighth grade
but it was the closeness of
the school that I loved first.
Being here for two years, I
love how the teachers and
students are so close; it feels
like we are all united as one
big family.
"I don't just play hockey.
I also play volleyball and
Softball and I am involved
in Spirit Committee and I
am getting inducted into the
French National Honor Soci-
ety in April."
As a student/athlete who
loves her school, helping
Fontbonne to a second state
title this decade (the Ducks
captured the Division I
crown in 2001) was the ic-
ing on an incredible sea.son.
Fontbonne finished the win-
ter with an 1 8-4-2 record, but
it was those last four games
that matter the most to Shep-
herd and her teammates.
"We always played well
when we needed to this sea-
son and it showed when we
got to the postseason," she
said. "Sometimes we played
down to the competifion, and
that killed us, but the games
we lost were by only one or
two goals. We were a close
team this year and every-
thing was team-based.
"We have a young team
(t)nly three seniors will grad-
uate this June) coming back
next year, but we do have a
lot of juniors and after next
year losing them could be a
big deal. But we also have
some strong sophomores and
freshmen and they should be
able to carry us through m
the next couple of seasons."
A humble, team play-
er. Shepherd's individual
achievement this year, and
especially her performance
in the state tournament,
still deserves recognition.
She was a force. Seemingly
scoring at will when it mat-
ter most. The Ducks' motto
all year was "20 hearts; one
beat," and Shepherd, you
could say, was the beat that
kept her team's heart alive.
"It just clicked (speak-
ing of her play in the tour-
nament)," Shepherd said.
"My line mates and myself
just played well. My line of
Bridget O'Brien and Kaighla
Ridge and myself were scor-
ing the majorit) of the goals
and we knew in the play-
offs we had to step up. But
the whole team, from our
defense tt) our balanced of-
fense, played great all four
games. And Kristin Connors,
our goalie, was outstand-
mg.
Fontbonne, in the tinals,
had onl\ eight shots on goal.
Shepherd made sure all of
hers counted; she scored on
a deflected shot, on a short-
handed breakaway on the
penalty kill and she put the
game away with a third pe-
riod tally by utilizing her
speed.
"The first one was kind of
a scramble in front of the net.
I kicked it over to my stick
and then around her blocker
side," .said Shepherd. "The
second was on the penalty
kill. Bridget chipped it out
on her backhand and it went
right to me, which was nice,
and the third goal was on a
breakaway and the defense

just played me wrong.
"But it was not just me."
Shepherd humbly added
"We had a really strong de-
fensive team and we were
never behind in the tourna-
ment. We went out and got
our goals and then played
defense. That is what really
won us the title."

together and the teachers
together and it seemed to

game down in Bourne (the

mates will be hack next win-
ter to defend their title, the
bad news for the rest ot the

The good news for fans of
the Ducks' ice hockey pro-
gram IS that Taylor Shepherd
state championship began
months beforehand. It may
have cumulated with the 3-0
win over W-H/Pembroke at
the TD Banknorth Garden,
but it all started back in the
late fall.
"Coming out of tryouts
from the first day 1 knew v\e
were going to be g(K)d." said
Shepherd. "1 think we knew
we had a chance Last )ear
ue went .5(K) and lost in the

.And this year we made it all
the way.
"The last couple of sec-
onds in the finals there was

scoreboard and, even though
1 knew we had it, I was ner-
vous. But when I heard that
final buzzer 1 just went in for
the hug. It was just nice to fi-
nally win it."
Shepherd, who is quick to
deflect attention away from
what she has accomplished,
credited not only her team-
mates, but also the rest of the
Fontbonne student body, in-
cluding: teachers and admin-
istrators for their die-hard
support of her team.
"Through all the playoff
games more and more stu-
dents and teachers came.
bonne 1 want to experience
that feeling of winning an-
t)ther state title before

Season Begins This Week
Depth, Talent Expected To
Carry NQ This Spring
liWIMfiiiiiliiiiiiiiii
By SEAN BRENNAN
The 2009 North Quincy
Red Raiders are loaded. The
team returns nine seniors; six
juniors and a sophomore to a
team that last year finished
the season with a 9-11 re-
cord. And with the pitching,
offense and defensive depth
on the roster. Year Two of the
head coach John Fidalgo era
should be very successful .
"We (coaching staff) are
very excited about the up-
coming season," said Fidal-
go last week. "We return a
number of starters with lots
of game exj)erience and with
another year in our system
this team is ready to be very
successful and win games.
We have built a very bal-
anced team.
"Our pitching staff is
three-deep with quality start-
ers, our bullpen should also
be a strength and our offense
is strong. Across the board
this team is a lot better and
having been m the system
now for two years, these
kids know what to expect
from us and what we expect
of them."
Team captain Joe Vial-
pando (CF) heads an impres-
sive senior class. According
to Fidalgo, Vialpando is the
team's best all-around hitter
and will bat leadoff and act as
the team's offensive catalyst.
"Joe is our best hitter and
we are penciling him in at
leadoff. He will be called on
to set the table for our big
bats."
Joining Vialpando on the
roster are seniors Joe Edg-
erly, Frank Flora, Matt Jay,
Ben Leahy, Matt Rodriquez,
Danny Russell, Paul Rear-
don and LaMonte Toombs.
"These seniors are the
key to us having the year we
are expecting," added Fidal-
go. "Edgerly will be one of
our top starting pitchers, Ro-
driquez, our starting catcher,
and Matt Jay are going to be
counted on to drive in runs.
"Ben Leahy and Danny
Russell will pitch out of the
bullpen and with them back-
ing up our starters, the pitch-
ing staff should be much im-
proved this year."
Beyond the seniors, the
Red Raiders have a junior
class that can match up with
any team in the area. John
Ainsley, Ryan Louis, Mike
Medeiros, Keith Morreale,
Brian Donaghey and Devon
Hudson not only have the
talent to start on most high
school teams, but they pro-
vide North Quincy with a
solid bench and a bright fu-
ture.
"These juniors are good,"
said Fidalgo. "Louis looks
like he will be our #2 starter
and our starting third base-
man, while Morreale will be
our #1 ace pitcher. John Ain-
sley may fit into the second
hole in the batting order and
Donaghey, Medeiros and
Hudson will all see consider-
able playing fime."
The lone sophomore on
the team is Colin Ryan. Ryan,
who will play shortstop and
bat at the top of the Raiders'
lineup, is a future star. His
presence gives Fidalgo even
more options when it comes
to filling out the lineup card.

lantic Coast League (ACL),
moves into the Patriot League
this spring. The move helps
to eliminate some of the long
road trips associated with
ACL play, but if anything, it
puts North into a more com-
petitive league.
"Across the board it looks
like every team is going to
very good," said Fidalgo
about his team's 2009 league
schedule. "Our goal is to
come into the Patriot League
and win it. There are some
talented teams out there, but
we feel like we can match up
with any of them."
The team's non-league
schedule is also cupcake
free. Fidalgo has scheduled
his team against serious com-
petition. A home-and-away
slate versus Brockton High
School opens the year and an
April 20 matchup with Wey-
mouth High School should
give him an idea of where
the team is just weeks into
the season.
"1 purposely scheduled
some tough non-league
games. It is the best way to
see what kind of team we
have," Fidalgo said. "Brock-
ton is a powerhouse and
Weymouth, in my opinion,
could be the best team on the
South Shore. These games
are going to be a challenge,
but not a challenge we can't
overcome."
When Fidalgo was hired
to coach the Red Raiders last
year he wanted to get North
Quincy back to baseball
prominence, and entering his
second season on the bench,
he sees that progress being
made at a rapid pace.
"Certainly with another
year under our belts we
are starting to see our sys-
tem take shape. Things like
practice management, game
preparation and what works
and what doesn't; what
makes these kids tick, are all
coming into focus.
"All of my players have
a interest in baseball, but I
want them to play as many
different sports as they like.
It helps prepare them for the
baseball season and keeps
them in shape. My goal was
to change the atmosphere
around the program and we
are getting there.
"Our jay vee and freshmen
teams are also loaded with
talent, so the program should
continue to be very success-
ful in the coming years."
Fidalgo coaching staff in-
cludes Josh Powell, Bob De-
nise, Jason Alonzi and Jason
Fidalgo.
North opens the season
today, (Wed.), on the road,
against Brockton HS. First
pitch is at 3:30 p.m. The
team's next home game at
Adams Field will be held
April 8 versus Randolph HS.
First pitch is at 3:30 p.m.

Quincy Pediatric Dental
used a four-game winning
streak to capture the champi-
onship of the Quincy Youth
Hockey Mite Jamboree,
which was held the weekend
of March 22-23 at the Quin-
cy Youth Arena.
The team lost its first
game of the jamboree to Joe
Finn, but bounced back and
recorded four victories in a
row to earn the title.
In the team's first game
against Joe Finn, a 5-3 loss,
goalie Tommy Feeney 's
performance kept the game
close. Forward Johnny
Quinn scored two goals (he
finished the tournament with
15) and Anthony Rizzatano
scored once, but Quincy Pe-
diatric could not convert on
numerous breakaways and
solid passing, and lost by a
three- goal margin.
The team rebounded with
a nail-biting 6-5 victory over
Doran and Horrigan in its
second game. Quincy Pe-
diatric jumped out to a 3-0
lead. After Will Scola (goal)
and Quinn (three goals) put
Quincy Pediatric up 4-1,
Doran and Horrigan fought
back and went up 5-4 with
only four minutes left in reg-
ulation. With three minutes
to go in the game, Mikey
Adamson was called on to
take a penalty shot and he
cashed in to tie the score at
5-5.
The game-winning tally
came off the blade of Hannah
Bell. Bell danced her way to
the net with 38 seconds left
and scored. Final score: 6-5,
Quincy Pediatric.
In the team's third game
of the jamboree, Quincy
Pediatric knocked off Rep.
Bruce Ayers, 6-2. Quinn con-
tinued his rapid scoring pace.
He accounted for four goals,
while Will Scola (goal).
Carly McMorrow (goal) and
Nicole Page all played solid
games. The team's second
and third lines played smart
hockey all game long.
The team's semifinal
game was a rematch against
Joe Finn. Quincy Pediat-
ric, behind the goaltending
of Feeney, advanced to the
championship game on the
strength of a 5-2 victory.
Quincy Pediatric, which
lost to Joe Finn in the 2008
championship game, got
the first goal of the game
from Kaitlyn Fox to go up
1-0. Other players scoring
against Joe Finn included
Quinn (hat trick) and W.
Scola (goal). Playing well
for Quincy Pediatric were
Kevy Fenney, Thomas Page,
Jake LaMonica and Cole-
man Gillis.
In the finals, Quincy
Pediatric Dental went up
against Paul Harold Qub
and won 5-2. The team

Sheriff's Summer Youth Academies
Canceled Due to Budget Shortfall
Due to a severe budget
shortfall, Norfolk County
Sheriff Michael G. Bellotti
has been forced to cancel
his popular youth leadership
academies for the coming
summer.
Nearly 1,000 kids be-
tween the ages of 10 and 14
attended the Youth Leader-
ship Academy and the Fu-
ture Captains Basketball
Academy last summer at
the Norfolk County Sher-
iff's Office Braintree Public
Safety Complex.
"This was a difficult de-
cision, but we really had
no choice," Bellotti said.
"The budget for the Norfolk
County Sheriff's Office has
decreased 17% this year.
Something had to give. We
could not justify running
the academies this summer
when we already are being
forced to reduce our staff
and make painful cuts in
other areas of the Sheriff's
Office."
Bellotti said the decision
to cancel the academies was
even more difficult because
of their immense popularity
among Norfolk County kids
and their parents.
"We fill the slots for these
academies on a first-come-
first-serve basis, and we've
had people on waiting lists
since last summer. I know
those people are disappoint-
ed. I am disappointed as
well. We take great pride in
the character-building pro-
grams we have developed
for these academies," said
Bellotti.
The Youth Leadership
Academy uses an aerial
ropes course to reach team
building, problem solving,
patience, trust, planning,
leadership and listening
skills.
The Future Captains Bas-
ketball Academy emphasiz-
es leadership traits and skills
that lead to players becom-
ing team captains.
The academies resumed
last summer after a one-year
absence in 2007 due again
to budget constraints. But
the reverberations from the
national economic reces-
sion have made this year's
budget shortfall even more
severe.
"We understand that we
are not alone, that all levels
of government are feeling a
budget crunch," Bellotti add-
ed. "Our people are working
twice as hard to carry out
our core mission of running
the Norfolk County Jail and
Correctional Center."
Half of Massachusetts'
county sheriffs-including
the Norfolk County Office-
rely on an archaic funding
formula that depends in
large part on revenue from
the real estate deeds excise
tax, which is a fee paid on
real estate transactions. As
a result of the slumping real
estate market, deeds excise
tax revenue has decreased
drastically.
Bellotti and other Sher-
iffs who work under this old
funding formula have been
advocating on Beacon Hill
for legislation to move those
Shenff's Offices onto the
state budget so that funding
is more predictable.
Seven other county
Sheriffs already are funded
through the state budget.

Easter Vigil Worship Service
At United Methodist Church
Quincy Community
United Methodist Church,
40 Beale St., Wollaston, will
celebrate the Easter Vigil on
Saturday, April 11 at 7:30
p.m.
"One phrase can sum up
this powerful service, " said
the Rev. Dr. Susan F. Jarek-
Glidden, church pastor, "and
that is, 'expect the unexpect-
ed.' In a very heart-felt way,
the Vigil proclaims the hope
and promise of Easter."
Dating from the earli-
est years of the Christian
Church, the Easter Vigil is a
service unlike any other, lit-
erally leading the congrega-
tion from Lent to Easter. It
does so through word, song,
and, most importantly, sym-
bols that refer to Scripture.
Because many people today
are unfamiliar with symbol-
ic interpretation, explanato-
ry notes are provided in the
text of the Vigil Service.
Rev. Dr. Jarek-Glidden
has also updated the ancient
service somewhat, so that is
"speaks" to today's Chris-
tians.
Everyone attending the
Vigil is requested to bring a
flashlight - an updated and
safer version of the tradi-
tional candles. Some extra
flashlights will be available.
People are also asked
to wear comfortable walk-
ing shoes. "Some walking
is involved in the Vigil, but
Quincy Community United
Methodist Church has made
provisions for those who
can't walk far. If you can
walk up and down a flight
of stairs, you'll be fine," the
Rev. Dr. Jarek-Glidden said
For more information,
call the church office at 61 7-
773-3319.
The church is handi-
capped accessible; the hand-
icapped entrance is located
at the front, the door closest
to the flag pole.

4 Thoi/ght
Are you a friend? It does not take a special
gift. It takes a special grace - the grace of
kindness.
A good talk with a close friend can solve
problems, or at least put them in perspec-
tive before they become overpowering.
SCOTT DE WARE One of the problems we face in our hectic,
moving-about-society is a scarcity of true friends. . .
Let's think about friendship. . . A friend is one who is kind,
patient and loving enough to listen to what bothers us. A friend
is one who does not look upon us because we feel discouraged or
mixed up. A friend listens and hears the need we, ourselves, have
difficulty understanding. A friend is one who, simply by letting
us share, helps us hear our own words so that we gain a better
perspective.
How often have we said to a friend who listened: "You have
been such a real help. Thanks a lot." After reflecting, we remind
ourselves that our friend had just listened, not only with the ears,
but with the heart, and hardly said a word. Yet we were refreshed
and encouraged. . .
Yes, friendship need not be a scarcity to those who truly want
to be friendly . . .

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Putting yourself in someone
else's shoes isn't easy for you.
But if you do it. you'll gain a
better perspective of what you
need to do to achieve your goals.
Be open to new ideas.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
There are still some problems
you might have to deal with
before moving on to your next
project. It's a gtxxl idea to ac-
cept help from those who share
your objectives.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
It's time to recognize the differ-
ence between those who are tru-
ly concerned for you and those
who simply plan to use your
gcxxi nature to their advantage.
New ideas become increasingly
attractive.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Depending on a promise made
becoming a promise kept could
be more than a mite unwise at
this time. It's best to proceed on
your own rather than wait for
aid that might never arrive.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A
recently revitalized relationship
might not be quite what the Big
Cat expected. But give your-
self more time to deal with the
changes. A little flexibility can
go a long way. Good luck.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) A major change could
prompt more adjustments. Some
of them might be difficult to deal
with at first. But hang in there,
and before you know it, you'll
be coasting to your next goal.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Your sense of justice
prompts you to speak out against
an unfair situation, even if you
seem to be the tmly one who
feels that way. But you sinin
learn that many others agree
with you.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) Creating a fuss is
not usually your style. But that
dc^sn't mean you shtiuld tolerate
an ill-mannered attitude. Speak
up for yourself, and you'll earn
the respect of others.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) You might
have a few kxise ends to tie
up before you can stamp your
project as complete. But once
that's done, you might want to
celebrate with someone special
in your life.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Disappointment
darkens the Goat's mo(xl. But
close friends rally to pull you
through with words of encour-
agement. Use their confidence
in you to rebuild your own self-
esteem.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) An upcoming de-
cision might be more difficult
with inaccurate information.
Best to recheck the data you
have at hand right now to be
sure it won't mislead you later.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) An offer you previously
turned down might no longer
be available. But if you do some
checking around, you could find
something else that would suit
you just fine.
BORN THIS WEEK: You be
lieve in helping those who can-
not help themselves. Although

For Concourse Project; Hancock Street To Remain Open
Quincy Fair Mall To Fall By June 1
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The bids are in and have
been awarded for the final
demolitions needed for the
Concourse.
Demolitions are now be-
ing scheduled and crews will
level three Quincy Center
buildings by June 1st, ac-
cording to Nick Verenis. the
city's Economic Develop-
ment Planner,
"The demolition is com-
ing in phases." said Verenis.
adding that he does not ex-
pect any disruption to busi-
nesses in Quincy Center
during the process.
"Hancock Street will
stay open," said Verenis, ex-
plaining that the crews will
use the former Kincaide's
lot at 148 Parkingway for a
staging area.
The massive Quincy Fair
Mall at 1563-1597 Hancock
St. will disappear by the end
of May or June 1 st at the lat-
est, according to Verenis
Verenis said the mall de-
molition will complete the
final phase of demolitions
scheduled for the Concourse
project and could, actual!},
begin much earlier m May.
Prior to the mall demo-
lition, crews will raze the
buildings located at 1586
Hancock St. and 14 Revere
Rd. These are scheduled to
be cleared before the end of
April, according to Verenis
The Hancock Street
property was once home to
Bernie's Formal Wear and.
more recently, to Alba's
Restaurant.
Quincy Fair Mall for-
merly housed the Registr\
of Motor Vehicles, several
theaters, restaurants, a fit-
ness center and busmesses.

Inspector Finds 8 Illegal Apartments
By TOM HENSHAW
Building Inspector Jay
Duca has received 45 com-
plaints of illegal housing
since a West Quincy base-
ment apartment fire killed
three — but thus far only
eight have panned out.
Oudah Frawi and his sons ,
Ali Oudah, 1, and Hassan,
2 months, perished in the
blaze, and his wife, Terri
Knight, remained in a coma
Tuesday in Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Of the 45 complaints,
only 15 had been inspected
as of Tuesday afternoon.
State fire marshals are
waiting for Knight to re-
gain consciousness to com-
plete an investigation and
Norfolk County District
Attorney William Keating is
waiting on the results of the
fire marshal's probe before
deciding whether to charge
the owners, Xiu Ma and
Andy Huang.
The dwelling at 100
Robertson St. was ruled in
violation of the city's build-
ing code since it had six
apartments in a building au-
thorized for four.
Duca said some of the il-
legal apartments have been
ordered evacuated while
others have been ruled safe
and given a chance to be up-
graded to legal residences.
The owners are given 30
days to comply, after which
an evacuation is filed in
Quincy District Court.
"We encourage the land-
lord to find alternative hous-
ing for renters who are dis-
possessed." said Duca

Councillors Postpone Action, Will Resume Public Hearing May 4
C-Mart Attorney Charges Bias In Special Permit Process
Attorney Christopher
Harrington has charged that
racial and ethnic bias stalled
and negatively impacted the
application process for a C-
Mart Supermarket in North
Quincy.
The supermarket pro-
posed for the former Boston
Gear Works site would ca-
ter to the Asian community
which includes roughly 30%
to 40% of North Quincy's
residents.
Councillors postponed
action on the request Mon-
day and will resume the
hearing on May 4 meeting.
They will not accept new
documents on the subject
after April 22.
In an April 4 letter, Har-
rington stated, "...these pro-
ceedings have already been
tainted by illegitimate and
illegal considerations that
violate the applicant's and
its prospective customers'
civil rights...."
After citing a 1996 case,
Harrington warned that the
council's decisions are "not
immune from civil rights
claim..."
Harrington letter was one
of three documents given to
councillors just days and,
in one case, two to three
hours before the councillors
met Monday as the Special
Permit Granting Authority
to review C-Mart's applica-
tion.
Councillors, also, re-
ceived a new traffic review
from Traffic Engineer Jack
Gil Ion and a letter from
Glenn Frank, the Boston at-
torney for Super 88 Super-
markets which, also, serves
the Asian community.
A Super 88 was formerly
located adjacent to St. Ann's
Church, Hancock Street,
Wollaston and Frank wrote
that the company had filed
for a Building Permit on
April 3 and "...we will be
reopening the store within a
short time period... ."
Harrington hand-deliv-
ered his letter to the council-
lors on Saturday prior to the
meeting.
In the letter, Harrington
blamed Ward 6 Council-
lor Brian McNamee for
bias, for publicly opposing
the project even before the
plans were presented to the
City Council, and then, fail-
ing to recuse himself from
the council review.
At Monday's meeting,
McNamee rejected the ac-
cusations and fired back at
Harrington for distortions
in the letter. McNamee said
that opposition to the project
is based on safety and traf-
fic, "That has been the num-
ber one issue."
McNamee said that he's
been presented with peti-
tions signed by 200 persons
and that he's received 74 e-
mails objecting to the proj-
ect and two telephone calls
favoring it.
Similarly, Ward 5 Coun-
cillor Douglas Gutro said
of Harrington's letter, "I
took offense" to references
of "ethnic intolerance. 1 be-
lieve that's inaccurate."
Gutro, also, cited the
former Super 88 Supermar-
ket which was located at
731 Hancock St. and said
the owners and the city had
worked cooperatively at that
location.
Ward 6 Councillor 3
Kevin Coughlin described
his visits to other C-Mart su-
permarkets and cited double
and triple parking at the lo-
cations.
The North Quincy plan
would include 100 onsite
parking spaces, according to
Harrington.
"This is a reasonable al-
ternative to what could go in
there," Harrington said, re-
ferring to the parcel's Indus-
trial B zoning which would
allow, by right and without
a hearing, such projects as a
warehouse, a delivery cen-
ter, heavy industrial manu-
facturing, or an office build-
ing.
In his letter. Harrington
enumerated numerous de-
lays by the Council in con-
sidering the application
which was filed Aug 2 1 ,
"We are now scheduled
for Apnl 6, 2009, 228 days
after the application was
filed"
Harrington noted that
supporters of the project
outnumber opponents 4 to
1 , and claimed that traffic
and parking concerns are
not valid grounds for denial
of the application.
Hamngton charged that
"the City Traffic Engineer
(Jack Gillon) threw up a
smoke screen to further de-
lay and hinder the applica-
tion process in accordance
with the wishes of Councilor
(sic) McNamee."
In the same letter, Har-
rington outlined C-Mart's
revised plan which reduces
the size of the supermarket

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On April 12, 1861, the
Civil War begins when Con-
federate shore batteries under
General P.G.T. Beauregard
open fire on Union-held Fort
Sumter in Charleston Bay in
South Carolina. During the
next 34 hours, 50 Confeder-
ate guns and mortars launched
more than 4,000 rounds at the
poorly supplied fort.
•OnApril 7, 1891, Ameri-
can showman P.T. Bamum
dies in Bridgeport, Conn. The
81 -year-old Bamum 's sense of
humor never deserted him. He
requested that a New York pa-
per run his obituary before he
died so he could enjoy reading
it, and the paper obliged.
• On April 6, 1909, Ameri-
can explorer Robert Peary
accomplishes a long elusive
dream when he and Matthew
Henson reach what they deter-
mine to be the North Pole. De-
cades after Peary's death, how-
ever, navigational errors in his
travel log surfaced, placing the
expedition in all probability a
few miles short of its goal .
• On April 8, 1935, Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
authorizes almost $5 mil-
lion to implement work-relief
programs. Hoping to lift the
country out of the Great De-
pression, Congress allowed the
president to use the funds at his
discretion. The act was unprec-
edented and remains the larg-
est system of public-assistance
relief programs in the nation's
history.
• On April 11, 1945, the
American Third Army liberates
the Buchenwald concentration
camp, near Weimar, Germany,
a camp that will be judged
second only to Auschwitz in
the horrors it imposed on its
prisoners. Among those saved
by the Americans was Elie Wi-
esel, who would go on to win
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
• On April 10, 1953,
"House of Wax," starring
Vincent Price, opens at New
York's Paramount Theater.
The first color three-dimen-
sional picture, the movie had
to be viewed through special
glasses.
•OnApril 9, 1969, the Chi
cago Eight, indicted on federal
charges of conspiracy to cross
state lines with intent to incite
a riot at the 1%8 Democratic
convention in Chicago, plead
not guilty. The trial turned into
a circus as the defendants and
their attorneys used the court
as a platform to attack Presi-
dent Nixon, the Vietnam War,
racism and oppression.

Don't Rule Kelly Out Of Ward 1 Race
KELLY
LAFOREST
AIKENS
J
The question isn't whether there will be a contest for
Ward 1 councillor this fall.
But rather: will it be an open seat or
will incumbent Leo Kelly make it at least
a three-way race?
Two candidates have already declared
their candidacies for Ward 1 councillor:
community activist Margaret Laforest
and Zoning Board of Appeals chairman
Martin Ai kens.
Right now, political observers are
wondering whether Kelly - who is second in seniority on
the City Council - will
seek a 10th term.
"I am thinking very
seriously of running
again," Kelly told The
Sun. "1 like serving the
people."
The fact that Kelly
would be opposed if
he seeks re-election
has sort of been the rule rather than the exception during his
career on the council. In his nine successful campaigns for
Ward 1 , Kelly has been unopposed just three times: in 1983,
2005 and 2007.
Compare that with Ward 4 Councillor Jay Davis who
may be the only councillor in the city's history to be unop-
posed in his first three campaigns for councillor. Davis, who
is seeking a fourth term this fall, has at least one opponent:
Brian Palmucci.
Or Ward 2 Councillor Dan Raymondi - the dean of the
council - who has been opposed four times in 10 elections.
Raymondi, who will seek an 11th term in November, has
been unopposed the last six times on the ballot: 1997, 1999,
2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007.
It's safe to say of the nine councillors serving today, Kel-
ly has had the most competitive races.
In winning his six other terms, Kelly has had 1 3 different
opponents try to wrestle the Ward 1 seat from him. He's also
faced four preliminary elections in winning and holding the
seat.
He's like the Energizer Bunny of local politics ~ he just
keeps going, and going, and going.
And along his successful path to winning the Ward 1 seat,
Kelly's defeated a few household names in local politics.
In his first successful bid for Ward 1 back in 1973, Kelly
topped the preliminary election with 1,325 votes. Coming
in second was the late Paul Harold, former city councillor,
state senator and Norfolk County Register of Deeds. Fin-
ishing third and fourth that election were Matt McDonnell
and Robert Denvir, Jr. In the final election, Kelly defeated
Harold by 64 votes (2,433 to 2369).
In 1975, there was another preliminary election. Kelly
(2,558 votes) easily topped the ballot as Edward Meade
(692 votes), James McDonough (400) and John Whalen
(219) finished second, third and fourth respectively. Kelly
defeated Meade in the final (4,036 to 1,467).
In 1977, after a three-man preliminary, Kelly defeated
Dave Crowley, Jr. (3,595 to 1 ,933) for his third term.
There was no preliminary in Ward 1 in 1979 but Kelly
had an opponent in the final election. This time he defeated
Dave MacMillan (2,741 to 1,513) to win his fourth term.
Same thing in 1981: just a two-man race and Kelly de-
feated MacMillan again (3,395 to 1 ,603) for his fifth term.
Kelly would win without opposition for the first time in
1983 but resigned in January 1984 to become project man-
ager for the Quincy Housing Authority.
Michael Cheney succeeded Kelly after winning a special
election in June 1984. Cheney served as Ward 1 councillor
until being elected a councillor at-large in 1989.
That same year, Peter Kolson won the Ward 1 seat and
held it until making an unsuccessful bid for councillor at-
large in 2003. And it was the same year that Kelly made a
triumphant return after a near 20-year absence on the City
Council. He topp*^d a five-candidate field for Ward 1 coun-
cillor in the preliminary election and then defeated Joe Kee-
gan in the final (1 ,901 to 1 ,633).
Ward 1 encompasses Adams Shore, Merry mount, Ger-
SHEA
mantown. Houghs Neck and part of Quincy Square around
the Thomas Crane Public Library, South Shore YMCA and
part of Washington Street in upper Quincy Point.
The ward has three precincts which traditionally are
among the highest voter turnout in Quincy: Ward 1 Precinct
1 (Merry mount). Ward 1 Precinct 4 (upper Houghs Neck
and Adams Shore) and Ward 1 Precinct 5 (all of Houghs
Neck).
Kelly's been unopposed the last two city elections and
would be challenged by two first-time candidates in Lafor-
est and Aikens if he seeks a 10th term. Laforest is the former
president of the Houghs Neck Community Council. Aikens
is an electrician and member of Local IBEW 103.
And there's always a chance other candidates could enter
the Ward 1 field.
If Kelly tosses his hat in the ring, it would be his sixth
preliminary election. He lost his first bid for Ward 1 coun-
cillor in 1971 which featured a four-man race in the pre-
liminary. After securing a spot in the final, Kelly lost to the
incumbent, Ed Graham, in the final election by 551 votes.
□
POTENTIAL CANDIDATES seeking a spot on the ballot
need to collect 50 signatures certified by
the city's Board of Registrars. That's 50
signatures for any elective office - mayor,
school committee, councillor-at-large or
ward councillor. The 50-signature rule
has been part of Quincy 's charter since it
became a city in 1888.
Two neighboring municipalities -
Weymouth and Braintree - which recent-
ly changed their form of government from a town to a city
have higher signature requirements.
Both Braintree and Weymouth require 150 signatures to
run for mayor — a minimum of 25 per district (and each
town has six districts). They also require 1(X) signatures for
a district councillor (similar to a Quincy ward councillor).
Any thought of raising the signature-minimum in Quin-
cy?
"1 think having 50 signatures makes it easier for all people
to participate in elective office in Quincy," says City Clerk
Joe Shea. "It's not a burning issue but I wouldn't necessarily
be opposed to changing it."
A change to the city charter would require a home-rule
petition be passed by the city council and mayor and then an
act of the state legislature.

ANY GOLFER who's ever teed it up at Granite Links
Golf Club can attest the course and amenities are superb.
And Golf Digest magazine has confirmed that the course
- which recently opened for its sixth season - is something
special.
In its May issue which hits newsstands this week, the
magazine lists Granite Links among America's 100 Greatest
Public Courses for 2009-2010. It also includes the course in
its Best In State Ranking (among the top 20).
Of the top 100 public courses, Golf Digest ranks Gran-
ite Links No. 73 - ahead of such notables such as Trump
National Golf Course Los Angeles (No. 84) and Doral Golf
Resort and Spa (No. 94).
If you're wondering what number one is: it's Pebble
Beach Golf Links in California.
The rankings were compiled after 900 panelists nation-
wide played and rated the courses on seven criteria, each on
a scale of 1 to 10: shot values, resistance to scoring, design
variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning and ambi-
ence.
Congratulations to Walter Harmon III, general manager
of Granite Links Golf Club and the entire staff for such a
strong showing in the annual ranking which has been pub-
lished since 1966.

Scenes From Yesterday
I Quincy's
Yesterdays
THIS IS A 1911 postcard view of the old Quincy Point
Congregational Church that was on the corner of Wash-
ington and South Streets. It was first erected in 1838 as a
one-story Methodist church. It became Congregational
in 1 884 and a year later it was raised 10 feet and a vestry,
kitchen and stage were constructed beneath it. In 1900,
the Fore River shipyard located nearby and the church
eventuallv became surrounded bv industrial businesses.
In the 1940s, under the direction of their new pastor, the
Rev. Bedros Baharian, the parish decided to raise the
money to move a half-mile up the street to the corner
of Abbey Road. In 1949 the 111-year-old original upper
level of this church was lifted off the bottom addition
and moved on rollers up Washington Street onto a new
foundation. Then the building was extended, covered
with bricks, a new roof and refurbished with wood trim
inside. The new site also included a new parish house,
social hall, offices and classrooms and a new steeple ex-
tending up 96 feet was erected at the front of the church.
You would never know that the present church has a
171 -year-old building as its sanctuary. And today the
corner of South and Washington Streets is home to an
automobile lubrication firm, but a marker placed there
by Rev. Baharian in 1950 denotes it as the site of the
church's original home. To contact Tom Calvin, e-mail

'April In Paris' At Ward 4 Center
Honey, Balsamic Chicken
With White, Sweet Potatoes
One of the food network programs is tout-
ing getting back to basics. I must admit that
I have never gotten away from basics - most
of the food is what 1 have been cooking for
ages and still enjoyed.
Today's recipe is for roasted chicken and
potatoes that is my very favorite, when I'm
either cooking for one or more.
HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN
1 chicken ( cut up or separate pieces if pre-
ferred) such as thighs and drumsticks
honey for coating
Balsamic vinegar for coating
sah and pepper
oUve oil for coating
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slightly
grease baking pan with oil (any kind will
do).
Wash and pat dr> the chicken. Salt and
pepper each piece, then rub each piece with
honey and then the balsamic vinegar. The two
major flavors gives the chicken and brownish
hue. Bake for about an hour or until pieces
look brown.
ROASTED WHITE
AND SWEET POTATOES
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a
baking pan.
5 or 6 white potatoes (peeled and cut in
pieces
2 medium sized sweet potatoes cut in pieces
(peel if preferred)
1 medium onion (sliced)
salt and pepper to taste
oUve oil
Place the cut up potatoes in a large bowl.
Mix together with olive oil, salt and pepper
and the onion, coating generously. Bake until
potatoes are browned. 1 usually turn them a
couple of times while they are baking.
Although 1 sometimes bake the potatoes
along with the chicken, there never seems to
be enough for my potato loving family. This
way, you can make as many as you like.
For the presentation after both foods are
completed. I place the chicken in a large
shallow dish and put the potatoes on top. It
gets raves.
Ruth Harcovitz, soprano,
will appear Wednesday,
April 15 at 2:30 p.m. at the

Hall Of Fame Boxer Lou Brouillard Trained In Quincy Gym
Joe Beston 's Gym Located
At President's Place Site
By TOM HENSHAW
It's Presidents Place now
but there was a time when
a building at the corner of
Washington and Hancock
Streets housed Joe Beston 's
gym, where a welterweight
and middleweight boxing
champion trained for his
fights.
His name was Lou
Brouillard and he lived
for a time in Houghs Neck
and married a Quincy girl.
Minnie Beston, Joe's daugh-
ter. He was welterweight
champ at 19, middleweight
champ at 21 and, when he
died at 73, he was a mem-
ber of three boxing halls of
fame.
Young Jack Thompson.
Jackie Fields, Ben Jeby,
Vince Dundee. The names
mean nothing to today's box-
ing fans. But in Brouillard's
day they were the cream
of what A. J. Liebling
called "the sweet science."
Brouillard fought them all.
"He beat Thompson for
the welterweight champi-
onship on Oct. 23, 1931, in
front of a crowd of 19,000
in the first title bout in
Boston Garden," said Paul
Beston, Joe's grandson and
Brouillard's nephew, who
still lives in Quincy.
Brouillard lost the title
three months later to Fields
but he was back again to
knock out Jeby for the mid-
dleweight crown in the sev-
enth round in New York's
Polo Grounds Aug. 9, 1933.
Three months later he lost
it to Dundee in Boston
Garden.
"Lou also beat light
heavyweight champion Bob
Olin twice in non-title fights
but Olin's manager refused
to give Lou a title fight when
Olin became champ," said
Beston. "Lou boxed a total
of 13 champions."
In all, he had 1 10 victo-
ries and 27 defeats and was
knocked out only once, a
technical KO by Tiger Jack
Fox in the Garden on Feb.
18, 1938.
He was elected to the
World Boxing Hall of Fame
in Los Angeles and the
International Boxing Hall
of Fame in New York. He
was not only chosen for the
Canadian Boxing Hall of
Fame but was selected as
the greatest fighter ever to
come out of Canada.

He quit school at 15 to
work in the mill and was
four months short of his 17"'
birthday when he had his
first fight, knocking out a
kid named KO Mullins in an
amateur boxing tournament
in Norwich, Conn.
He turned pro in 1928.

"Lou lost two middle-
weight title fights to rhil in
France, both b> questionable
low blows." said Beston
"In 1938. Lou challenged
the German champ. Adolph
Heuser. the man he thrashed
five years before in Boston
Ciarden
""I wanted to teach the
characters in Germany
something about having a
little respect for Americans."
said Lou.
■'But the Nazi propagan-
da machine, after seeing Joe

feat

Ward 4 Councillor Jay
Davis announces he will
seek re-election to a fourth
term this fall.
Davis, who is also the
City Council president, has
represented Ward 4 since
2003.
"During the last six years,
1 have drawn upon my pro-
fessional and political expe-
rience to address the needs
and concerns of Ward 4 and
the city," Davis said.
During his three terms
as Ward 4 Councilor, Da-
vis said he has responded
to thousands of emails and
telephone calls from Ward
4 residents, and hosted over
100 neighborhood meetings.
Davis said that as a part-
time councilor he spends
more than 30 hours a week
working on city and ward is-
sues and responding to con-
stituent telephone calls and
emails.
Recognizing that strong
communication is the cor-
nerstone of quality repre-
sentation, Davis said he has
made it a priority to improve
communication between
residents and their coun-
cilor. He has established a
ward-wide email list to keep
residents of Ward 4 updated
on events and projects in the
city and ward.
"During the last three to
four years, the number of
emails 1 receive from resi-
dents has increased signifi-
cantly." Davis said. "On
average I receive 20 to 30
emails and 25 telephone
calls per week. Emails have
now surpassed phone calls
as the preferred means of
communication by constitu-
ents."
Davis said he takes every
opportunity to expand this
contact list. Those wishing
to add their email addresses
should email the councillor
at jdavis@ci .quincy.ma.us.
As Ward 4 Councilor,
Davis said he has worked
with city officials, business
leaders and neighbors to ad-
dress a variety of projects
promoting development
and commercial growth
in the City and Ward. "I
am very proud of my ac-
complishments in bridging
the needs of residents with
those of businesses," Davis
said. "I have worked hand
in hand with business and
labor leaders to revitalize
Brewer's Comer and to at-
tract quality business to our
City, including Fallon Am-
bulance, Lowe's and BJ's.
Because every commercial
tax dollar raised equals ap-
proximately two residential
tax dollars, it is critical that
we continue to develop the
City's commercial tax base
in a responsible manner."
If re-elected, Davis said
he will continue to direct a
great deal of his time and
energy to the historic revi-
JAY DAVIS
talization of the downtown
area.
"Now more than ever, we
need experienced and effec-
tive leadership to lead this
City," Davis said. "Having
been a small business owner
in Quincy Center for the past
13 years, 1 have the skills,
experience and knowledge
to provide that leadership."
Another priority for Da-
vis has been ensuring that
the nuts and bolts of city
services are working for all
residents. "During my time
as the Ward Councilor, the
City's Pavement Manage-
ment Plan has really hit its
stride," Davis said. "Since
the plan's inception sev-
eral streets in Ward Four
have been paved including
all or part of: Brook Road;
Columbia Street; Copeland
Street; Conmion Street; Fed-
eral Avenue; Granite Street;
Independence Avenue; In-
tervale Street; Nightingale
Avenue; Perm Street; Presi-
dent Avenue; Quarry Street;
Robertson Street; Rodman
Street; Trafford Street;
Verchild Street; Minihan's
Lane; Forrest Avenue; Wil-
lard Street; Bates Avenue;
Grove Street; and Califomia
Avenue."
Davis said he worked
with the leadership of the
police department to recon-
figure patrol areas to allow
for increased police pres-
ence in Ward 4. In 2007 he
also successfully advocated
for an increase in the num-
ber of officers in the police
department's drug unit.
In 2006 he led a group of
educators, police personnel
and community activist to
start the West Quincy Teen
Program. The program em-
phasized sports and com-
munity service as positive
activities for area teens
looking for things to do dur-
ing the summer. When state
and local funding for this
program became strained,
Davis reached out and advo-
cated for private funding.
Davis drafted the City's
Community Preservation
ordinance; and as chairman
of the Community Preserva-
tion Committee, he worked
to protect open space in
Ward 4, including Turning
Mills Estate, a six-lot sub-
division off of Forrest Av-
enue.
A graduate of Syracuse
University and Suffolk
University Law School,
Davis and his wife, Honor,
live with their two daugh-
ters, Madison, age 11, and
Meghan, age 8, on Shaw-
mut Street in West Quincy.
He has been practicing law
in Quincy for more than 13
years and is currently the
managing partner in the law
firm of Graeber, Davis and
Cantwell, PC. Graeber, Da-
vis and Cantwell is a general
practice law firm with more
than 12 employees located
in downtown Quincy.
"As a Quincy resident
for more than 18 years my
commitment to our city is
stronger than ever," Da-
vis said. "My wife, Honor
(Jutila/Crowley), and I live
on Shawmut Street in the
home that was built by her
grandfather in the 1940s.
Our daughters, Madison and
Meghan, attend the Quincy
Public Schools.
"My family and I have
invested hundreds of hours
volunteering and supporting
Ward 4 organizations."
In addition to his work
at his law firm and on the
City Council, Davis volun-
teers for a number of com-
munity agencies including.
Neighborhood Housing
Services of the South Shore,
the Quincy Public Schools
Business Partnership, South
Shore YMCA, Quincy
Youth Soccer, Quincy Girls
Softball, St. Mary's Basket-
ball, the Southwest Commu-
nity Center, St. Mary's/West
Quincy Girls Basketball,
Girl Scouts, Quincy Youth
Baseball/Softball, Ster-
ling Middle School, Lin-
coln Hancock Community
School, and Quincy Youth
Soccer. He has also been
a volunteer Big Brother; a
pro bono (volunteer) lawyer
for both DOVE, Inc. and the
Volunteer Lawyers Project;
and served as a councilor, as
well as a member of the pro-
gram board, for the Ameri-
can Legion Boy's State pro-
gram.
In kicking off his re-elec-
tion campaign, Davis spent
this past weekend knock-
ing on doors and working
with more than 20 volun-
teers delivering literature
to more than 1 ,500 Ward 4
residents.
"I am very encouraged
by the response we've had
from residents," Davis said.
"I am extremely proud of
what we have been able
to accomplish together in
Ward 4 over the past six
years, and I look forward to
making even more progress
in the future."
Davis will kick-off his
re-election campaign with
a "Campaign Opening
Day" family party at the
Tirrell Room, Quincy Elks
on Quarry Street tonight
(Thursday) from 7- 10pm.

New Video Raises
Awareness Of Substance Abuse
Mayor Thomas Koch
has kicked off a month long
campaign to raise awareness
of substance abuse through
the unveiUng of a half-hour
video produced by the Bos-
ton University Center for
Digital Imaging.
At the event, Koch
commented on his efforts
to address drug addiction
and abuse in the city, say-
ing that, "While it is hard
to measure the results of
substance abuse prevention
measures, the consequence
of doing nothing is far too
grave to stand by and ignore
the problem."
Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti commend-
ed the effort and recognized
Koch's direct involvement
to reduce substance abuse in
the city.
The video, sponsored
by several local business
groups including State
Street, Quirk Auto Dealer-
ships, Fallon Ambulance,
South Coastal Bank, Quincy
Mutual Group, the Quincy
Credit Union, the Norfolk
County Sheriff's Office,
Eastern Bank, Dependable
Cleaners, Ayers Handicap
Conversion, Inc., and Dew-
are Funeral Homes, consists
of four parts, each dealing
with different groups in the
substance abuse prevention
effort.
First responders. parents,
police and court officials are
all interviewed and offer
their perspective on coping
with and treating substance
abusers. The video will be
distributed throughout the
city to local schools, re-
ligious organizations and
community groups and will
be a tool for parents and
children to see the perils
of drug use more closely.
Throughout the next month,
the program and public ser-
vice announcements will air
on QATV and ads will ap-
pear in local newspapers.
One of the ads appears
on Page 19 of this week's

On the days prior to your street sweeping, please sweep all debris from
your sidewalks into the street.
Make every effort to remove ALL vehicles from the street on the day of
sweeping.
Help out by making sure your neighbors are aware of the sweeping date
as well.
SAND should not be placed in the trash. Trash is weighed and costs
money to dispose. Sand should be mixed in with yardwaste and evenly
dispersed in yardwaste bags or barrels.
Do not sweep sand into catch basins.

New AC A Accreditation
Raymond! Seeks Wider
Options On Wind Energy
For the third consecu-
tive time, the office of
Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti has been
accredited by the American
Correctional Association
(ACA).
The ACA called the of-
fice "a member of the elite
m achieving correctional
excellence" and awarded
It scored of IOC) and 99 per
cent in its evaluation.
Ihe achievement is "a
symbol of the enormous
dedication and commitment
demonstrated by each and
every member of your staff
to the accreditation pro-
cess," said the association.
Bellotti noted with pride
that his office is one of the
relatively few jails in the
nation that is accredited
by both the ACA and the
MICHAEL BELLOTTI
National Commission on
Correctional Health Care.
"This dual accreditation
is a testament to the men
and women up and down the
line of the Norfolk County
sheriff's office," he said.
"The fact that this recog-
nition comes during a time
when our financial resources
have been greatly reduced
makes it all the more im-
pressive."
The Norfolk County
Correctional Center was
visited by an independent
audit team last October to
evaluate the facility and
make its rect)mmendation to
the ACA.
"This achievement is part
of my pledge to the people of
Norfolk County that we will
always run the correctional
center in a manner that is as
safe and secure as possible
while also being a humane
institution." said Bellotti.
"I believe the best way
to accomplish that goal is
with a professional staff de-
veloping and implementing
state-of-the-art policies and
practices. This accreditation
is a tangible indication that
we are achieving our goal."

A Job Well Done
On Friday, March 27, 2009, at 10:48 a.m., Officers
Mark Millane, Brian Flaherty and Barry DeFranco re-
sponded to 646 Adams St. for a larceny of a purse that
just occurred. Quincy Police communications broad-
cast that the suspect who took the purse, fled in a brown
2002 Toyota Camry and provided the license plate num-
ber.
Upon arrival. Officer
Millane met with the vic-
tim, who stated that she
parked her car on Adams
Street and went into the
cleaners, leaving behind
her Coach brand bag/purse,
valued at $400, on the pas-
senger seat. She said that
the purse contained
$100 U.S. currency in
various denominations, a
Visa card, a Macy's card
and other credit cards. The
victim said that she left her vehicle unlocked because she
was just doing a quick errand and when she returned,
her purse was missing from the passenger seat of her ve-
hicle.
Officer Millane interviewed two witnesses who were
in a local business. Based on their accounts, Officer
Millane determined that a brown vehicle pulled up be-
hind the victim's unoccupied vehicle. The suspect, the
sole occupant, got out of his car and entered the vic-
tim's car, removing the black handbag from the pas-
senger side. The suspect then got back into his car and
drove down Shirley Street. Officer Millane provided the
license plate number to communications and the direc-
tion the suspect vehicle was last seen traveling.
A local resident on Connell Street, who stated that she
witnessed a male driver throw a purse out his window,
flagged Officer DesRoche down. The officer returned the
purse to the victim, who confirmed it was hers. She be-
lieved that the money and all her credit cards were still
there.
A short while later. Officer DeFranco located the sus-
pect vehicle at the registered address, so he and Officer
DesRoche knocked on the door of this residence and
spoke with the home owner and his adult son. The focus
of the investigation was on the son, who met the clothing
and physical description of the suspect.
After reading Miranda rights, the suspect admitted to
stealing the purse and then throwing it out the window on
Connell Street. The suspect, a 48-year-old Quincy resi-
dent, was placed under arrest for "Breaking and Entering
of a Motor Vehicle in the Daytime with Intent to Commit
a Felony and Larceny over $250."
Nice Work!
In this case, simply locking your door would have
eliminated the opportunity. At a minimum, keeping valu-
ables out of sight may have been a sufficient deterrent.
The more cards and documents you carry in a purse, the
more effort it will take to cancel and/or replace each one
- hopefully you will remember each one.

A JOB WELL DONE On Monday, March 23 ,
2009, at approximately 2:45 p.m., Officer James Cassi-
dy was on patrol in plain clothes in an unmarked police
vehicle on Des Moines Road when he observed a mo-
tor vehicle with no front plate, traveling north on Des
Moines Road towards Southern Artery. He stopped the
vehicle on South Street at Sumner Street and was assist-
ed by Officers' Bill Lanergan and Joe McGunigle.
Officer Cassidy requested license and regis-
tration from the male operator and noted that the
front seat passenger was known to the police. .
Being familiar with the criminal history of the passenger
and the fact that the operator had no registration and a
different last name from the owner. Officer Cassidy
asked the driver if there was anything illegal in the motor
vehicle and he hesitated, then responded, "No.... nothing
at all."
The officer was given consent by the driver to search
the motor vehicle. The driver also stated that the vehicle is
his mother's and the front plate was at the auto body shop.
The passengers stepped from the vehicle during the
search and a pat frisk for weapons was conducted. The
front passenger then stated that he was in possession of a
hypodermic syringe, which was removed from his left
jacket pocket and secured in a HAZMAT container. Dur-
ing the search of the vehicle, in the center console, Of-
ficer Cassidy found a cigarette box with two halves of an

HEEL SPURS
The heel bone is the larg-
est bone In the foot, absorbing
the greatest amount of shock
and pressure with every step.
Heel spurs develop when the
plantar fascia, a band of fibrous
tissue running from the heel to
the forefoot, separates itself
from the heel area. This can be
caused by over-pronation, or
flat feet. Those with particularly
high arches may also experi-
ence heel spurs. Calcium de-
posits aeate a bony protrusion,
which can result in extreme rear
foot paint, particularly noticeable
wfien walking or standing. What
helps? Subject to the indivkJual,
stretching exercises, tosing
weight, wearing shoes with a
cushkxied heel, or orthotcs can
help. When experiencing heel
spurs and the pain that ensues,
always confer with your foot
doctor.
Whether your foot pfoblem is
caused by oveaise, aging, de-
formity, injury, or disease, or re-
lated to inappropriate footwear
we invite you to consult with us
at QUINCY MEDICAL CEN-
TER, Our stateK)f-the-art foot-
care facilities offer relief from the
painful condition of hyperprona-
tion through HyProCure™, an
ankle subsidizing procedure

tion about any topic we discuss

ment, please feel free to call us

PS. Women have signifi-
cantly higher inddence of heel
spurs due to the sorts of foot-
wearwomonarec^jlarttasis.
I'd like take this opportu-
nity to reiterate the ha/.ard.s
associated with illegal apart-
ments and bedrooms within
basements and attics. I have
written about it frequently in
this column while conveying
my concerns through our ca-
ble TV medium as well. Let
me review the subject again
here for you.
Before you consider uti-
lizing a basement space for
an additional sleeping area,
consider first whether you
have the appropriate exit-
ing arrangements to do so. I
suggest you contact the City
of Quincy Building Depart-
ment and ask for their de-
termination. It is too easy to
consider using the space for
sleeping without considering
the consequences should an
emergency arise. Sleeping
areas within attics demand
the same consideration.
As 1 have frequently
written, an alternate means
of egress is a necessity in
an emergency. Your typical
basement window will not
meet the requirements of an
alternate means of egress.
It is also my understanding
rIR£ SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
that a bulkhead does not
conform as a second means
of egress from a basement
as well.
The E.D.I.T.H. program.
Exit Drills in the Home,
is a program encouraging
residential occupants to de-
velop a household evacua-
tion plan within their home.
We frequently encourage
children to pass mformation
about this program to their
parents. In that plan, occu-
pants are encouraged to be-
come aware of two separate
means of exiting each room
and a building. It is a pro-
active program hiliting and
emphasizing the need for
awareness of exit locations.
1 encourage you to create
your own plan.
These same exiting re-
quirements are applicable
in apartments within base-
ments and attics as well.
Having alternate means of
exiting both spaces is essen-
tial. If one of these units is
illegal, it is more than likely
that consideration has not
been given towards proper
exiting
P'or some time now,
the city has had a task
force in place attempting
to eradicate illegal apart-
ments, rooming houses
and or sleeping areas. In
the course of their duties,
penalties have been levied
as punishment for those
who attempt to circum-
vent public safety regula-
tions. It is the owner who
is held responsible.
Once discovered, the
building department as-
sesses Hnes of up to S3fX)
a day. When an around the
clock detail is ordered until
compliance is met. fees for
the detail, whether police
or fire, can run as high as
SHXK) a day Meanwhile, it
IS the owner who is respon-
sible for relcKating displaced
tenants. Once an illegal unit
IS discovered and ordered
evacuated, it is immediately
the owner's respc^nsibility to
supply both r(K)m and board
for the displaced individuals
from illegal units
If you are the owner
of an illegal apartment,
rooming house, or sleep-
ing area, I suggest that
you dismantle the hazard
immediately. The build-
ing department will look
favorably upon those who
proactively request their
assistance when disman-
tUng an illegal unit. .Mean-
while it is imperative that
the occupants are imme-
diately relocated for their
own safety.

INTERt.ENERATIONAL ORAL HISTORY project participants prepare to board a school bus
for the unveiling of a new state women's history exhibit "Women Protecting US." L to R (back
row): Gabrielle Sanchez, Sylvia Sanchez, Sammi McArdle. Patricia Brennan L to R (front row):
Tony Vento, Krista Laforest, Margaret Laforest, Mildred Vento, Flo Ditullio (Woo Woo) Joyce
and Brandi Isaacs.
STANDING PROUDLY by the Broad Meadows section of the "Women Protecting US" exhibit
are former Broad Meadows "Winnie" project leaders Kerri Piccuito Dawidzyck, and Margaret
McLean Laforest, and Broad Meadows teacher Ron Adams who has overseen the project for
20 years.
A CONVERSATION resumed after 20 years- twenty years
ago, Margaret McLean interviewed Flo Joyce about Flo's pio-
neering hiring as the first woman welder ever at Fore River.
Twenty years later, they sat together to reminisce as they wait
to board a bus to see that interv iew become a part of the new
women's history exhibit "Women Protecting US."
GRADE 7 current leader of the Broad Meadows school's
"Winnie the Welder" oral history project Brandi Isaacs strikes
the "We can do it!" pose alongside her proud mom and next to
the Broad Meadows' portion of the new exhibit.
MILDRED VENTO pauses to remember her sister Dolly in
front of the section of the exhibit which features her sister's
WWII experiences at Fore River. Mildred is holding a photo of
Dolly and herself singing together at a WWII USO show. The
singing sisters were shipbuilders at Fore River by day, singers
by night.
Broad Meadows Student Historians Also Recognized At Battleship Cove
New Women's History Exhibit Honors Winnie The Welders
In Fall River, 75 people
were on hand for the recent
official opening of Battle-
ship Cove's newest exhibit,
"Women Protecting US."
Quincy residents ages 1 1
to 87 were honored at the
ribbon cutting. Some are
featured in the exhibit, some
created parts of the exhibit.
The exhibit, in one of
the forward areas of the
Quincy-built Battleship
Massachusetts, is dedicated
to the efforts and sacrifices
women have made through
the years in service to their
country. With an emphasis
on the World War II era, rec-
ognition is given to women
who served in the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast
Guard and the Red Cross.
A special recognition is
paid to those women who
were so vital to the war ef-
fort on the home front, par-
ticularly those like lifelong
Quincy resident Flo "Woo
Woo" DiTullio Joyce, who
was the first female welder
interviewed and hired at the
Fore River Ship Yard during
WWII.
In recognition of her war-
time contribution to the de-
fense of our country and for
her groundbreaking work
as a woman welder in an
all male shipyard, Flo was
given a standing ovation
at the ceremony. Humbled
and tear streaked, Flo sim-
ply said, "Thank you, very
much."
Also attending was Mil-
dred Gillen Vento. Mildred
and her sister, Anna "Dolly"

also includes a project about
women shipbuilders, col-
lected by students at the
Broad Meadows Middle
Yards.
the USS Massachusetts.
Contributing to the ex-
hibit and attending the ex-
hibit unveiling were: Broad
Meadows' grade 6 student
Krysta Laforest; grade 7
students Brandi Isaacs, Me-
lissa Coutts, Jackie Blake
Before boarding a school and Madison Kirby; grade
bus to attend the exhibit's
ribbon cutting ceremony,
current student volunteers as
well as founding volunteers
from the 1980s and 1990s
classes at Broad Meadows
treated Flo and Mildred
to a school pizza party to
celebrate the successful
completion of the 20 year
"Winnie the Welder" oral
history project. The col lee -
School in Quincy. Students tion makes up one room of
at Broad Meadows have the five room "Women Pro-
8 students Sammi McArdle
and Sylvia Sanchez. Other
Broad Meadows students
attended to support their
classmate contributors.
Founding contributors
also attended and were rec-
ognized for their vision 20
years ago realizing that these
WWII stories would be lost
forever unless someone
did something. Volunteer-
ing years ago to interview
area pioneering women
faithfully volunteered year tecting US" exhibit onboard shipbuilders were Margaret
McLean Laforest and Kerri
Piccuito Dawidcyzk. Mar-
garet and Kerri interviewed
and befriended many WWII
welders, pi pef Iters, supervi-
sors and electricians.
Broad Meadows graduate
Kerri, a former U.S. Marine,
now married and a nurse has
a family member follow-
ing in her footsteps. Kerri 's
12 year old cousin, Melissa
Coutts now volunteers on
the "Winnie the Welder
Project" by digitizing the
VHS tapes with classmate
Brandi Isaacs. Kerri and
Melissa rode together to the
ribbon cutting.
Broad Meadows graduate
Margaret Laforest, now mar-
ried and a lifelong resident
of Quincy, also has a fam-
ily member following in her
activist footsteps. Daughter
Krista Laforest, a grade 6
student at Broad Meadows
Middle School, also was at
the exhibit opening. Mother
and daughter interviewed
Flo and rode the bus with
Flo and Mildred and guests
to the exhibit.
While a Broad Meadows
student and as a Quincy
High student, Margaret in-
terviewed both women and
men who worked at the
Quincy Fore River Ship
Yard during WWII. Marga-
ret and classmate Jill Hawes
were a very effective inter-
viewing team. Now, their
work, as well as the work
done by all of the Broad
Meadows Middle School
volunteers over twenty
years, is now on display and
is now a permanent part of
the official Commonwealth
of Massachusetts WWII
Memorial onboard the USS
Massachusetts in Battleship
Cove, Fall River.
The stories of the pio-
neering Quincy "Winnies"
and the story of the students
who "Remembered the la-
dies" are now safe, public
and are now a permanent
chapter in Massachusetts
history thanks to some for-
ward thinking and 20 years
of hard work by Broad
Meadows' students.
Battleship Cove Execu-
tive Director Jack Casey
pointed out that 338,000
women served in the vari-
ous branches of the mili-
tary during World War II,
most in the nursing corps,
clerical and support efforts,
as well as those in combat.
Currently, he said, there are
200,000 women in the mili-
tary, including the first fe-
male four-star general, who
is in the Army.
Casey said it was retired
Navy Captain Guy Archam-
bault's idea 18 years ago
to have a women's exhibit
aboard the Battleship Mas-
sachusetts. That was two
years after the Broad Mead-
ows students began collect-
ing WWII women's history.
Thanks to Laurie Carlson
of the USS Massachusetts
the two like minded groups
found each other and history
was made and is now being
shared.
The project is funded
in part by a grant from the
Massachusetts Foundation
for the Humanities.

Weatherstrip
Now for Summer
Q^I know that weather-
• stripping in the winter
can keep out cold air and low-
er my heating bill, but what
about summertime? - EUen in
New York
Adjust a.s blocking cold
• air from entering dur-
ing the winter months can keep
you more comfortable and save
on heating costs, reducing the
amount of cool air that escapes
the interior of the home during
the hot summer months also can
save money.
If your home's windows and
doors are well-sealed against
drafts - either because they are
brand-new or because you in-
stalled thicker weatherstripping
in the fall - that seal should be
enough to keep air-conditioned
air inside.
A home's insulation also
works year-round to help main-
tain comfortable temperatures
indoors. It works best when in
good shap)e, so if you haven't in-
spected the insulation in a while,
check the condition of any that
you can access, such as the at-
tic or crawlspaces. The mate-
rial should not be compressed or
matted, and definitely should not
be damp or moldy. Replace old
or damaged insulation.
And while you're up in the
attic, inspect the vents installed
around the space. These should
not be blocked or damaged;
if they are, unblock them or
have them repaired. This is one
area where, winter or summer,
outside air needs to circulate
constantly in order to prevent
moisture, excessive heat or cold
from damaging the outer enve-
lope of your home. (A home's
"envelope" generally consists
of the uninhabited spaces just
inside the outer walls and roof.
Air flowing through these spaces
helps keep the building materials
from deteriorating.)
Spring is an excellent time
to inspect weatherstripping,
insulation and venting around
the home, as you can make any
repairs in fairly comfortable
weather and be ready for the hot
season ahead.
HOME TIP: Curtains and
blinds play an important role in
maintaining interior tempera-
tures. Close them to keep direct
sunlight from heating up the
house in summer.

Find Answers to
Your Insurance
Questions
Where's the best place to
find information about life
insurance? Kiplinger's Per-
sonal Finance Magazine has
named www.insure.com as
the best site for life insurance
information two years in a
row. For good reason, too -
the site is packed with must-
know information, and not
just about life insurance.
Here's just a sample of
what you'll find at www.in-
sure.com:
• In this shaky economy,
it's not too much of a stretch
to wonder if our insurance
companies are going to go
under. Fear not. Just as bank
customers are protected if a fi-
nancial institution fails, most
state have guaranty funds to
handle insurance claims, up
to a certain limit.
• Insure.com has a number
of useful tools, such as car-
crash safety rafings. Select
your vehicle by make, model
and year, and you'll get star
ratings in front and side im-
pacts, as well as rollovers.
• Need to understand an-
nuities? Insure.com covers
not only the basics, but pro-
vides in-depth information on
accessing money before re-
tirement and what to beware
in a sales pitch.

• Need health insurance,
but you're already sick? Look
at the list of 12 ways to get
health insurance. One par-
ticularly inventive way is to
declare yourself a "group of
one." This varies by state, but
in niany locations insurers are
required to sell guaranteed is-
sue policies to small groups.
• Before you buy a pol-
icy for any reason — home,
health, auto - check the
company's ratings. You can
search the site by company
name or by ratings. The rat-
ings will tell you the financial
shape a company is in.
• If you need a refresher,
check the section on iden-
tity theft to make sure you've
covered all your bases.
• Wondering if you should
call your insurance company
about a small claim? Even if
you decide not to file a claim,
your call will be recorded and
a note made that will stay in
your file for seven years. Too
many of these "losses," and
you could end up with a high-
er rate, even without a claim.
• Need to reduce your
costs on house coverage?
Check the "10 Ways to Save
on Home Insurance" article.

about your insurer or a ques-
tion about state insurance

that could easily be prevent-
ed with simple maintenance
steps.
Take your home's heat-
ing and air conditioning sys-
tem. When was the last time
you had your cooling coils
cleaned? If you're not even
sure what part of the system
the coils are, where they're
located or if they've ever
been cleaned at all, spring is
a good time to take care of
this important maintenance
item. Doing so can help ex-
tend the life of your system
and ensure it's functioning
at peak efficiency.
"The cooling coils take
the heat and humidity out of
the air," says Aaron Marsh-
banks, a member of the
National Air Duct Cleaners
Association (NADCA), and
a heating and cooling in-
dustry professional with 15
years experience. "The coils
are essentially the connec-
tion point between your air
conditioning system and the
air in your home."
Cooling coils, which re-
semble a car radiator, are
typically located on top of
or inside the air handling
unit m the mechanical
room. Over time, household
dust and air contaminants
including fabric particles,
skin cells, animal dander
and other debris collect on
the coils. While your fur-
nace filter will reduce debris
- assuming you keep the fil-
ters clean - it's impossible
to completely eliminate it,
and what gets through will
end up on the coils.
"When that happens, two
problems arise over time,"
Marshbanks says. "First, the
build-up restricts the flow
of air through the imit and
decreases its ability to ef-
fectively remove heat from
the air. Second, it makes the
equipment work harder and
longer to get air into your
house. So the air handler
runs and runs, and the unit
consumes more energy and
produces less comfort."
If the unit has to run 25
percent longer to produce
the desired results, you'll
actually be shortening its
usable life by 25 percent,
he points out. And the cost
of repairing or replacing a
faulty heating and cooling
unit far exceeds the cost of
having the coils cleaned.
While coils may not need
to be cleaned annually, they
should be inspected every
year. It's best to leave the in-
spection and any necessary
cleaning to a trained profes-
sional, Marshbank advises.
The configuration of some
units may make it diffi-
cult to examine and clean
the coils without removing
them from the unit. Plus,
improper cleaning can actu-
ally damage the coils.
"And you shouldn't as-
sume your coils are being
cleaned or even inspected
regularly just because you
have a service contract with
an heafing and cooling com-
pany," he adds. Many com-
panies do not include that
service as part of their regu-
lar maintenance routine.
NADCA offers a certified
professional locator on its
Web page to help consumers
find qualified technicians in
their area. NADCA mem-
bers must pass a rigorous
certification exam and com-
plete regular training in or-
der to earn and maintain the
association's certification.
When evaluating a company
to inspect and clean your
coils, be sure to ask how
long the company has been
in business, the average ex-
perience level of its service
people, and what their regu-
lar service includes.

Drop Title Game To Arlington, 2-1
Quincy Under- 14 Girls
Finish As State Finalists
The Quincy Youth Hock-
ey Girls Under- 14 team re-
cently finished second at the
2009 Massachusetts State
Hockey Tournament held in
Melrose. This finish marks
the third consecutive year
that a Quincy Youth Hock-
ey team has earned a medal
at the state tournament.
After finishing first in
their round-robin bracket,
Quincy outlasted Medford
in five overtimes by a 2-1
score to advance to the state
finals against Arlington.
Having to return to the ice
just three hours after de-
feating Medford, Quincy
battled Arlington down-to-
the-wire before Arlington
poked home a loose puck
in the third period to win
the championship by a 2-1
count.
"The girls on this team
displayed a lot of heart and
character," said head coach
Mike Tabeek. "To win the
five overtime game and
come back three hours later
to play for a state cham-
pionship and compete the
way that they did shows the
great pride they have as a
team."
Quincy started off the
tournament with an 8-1 vic-
tory over Natick. Sarah Ta-
beek led the way with a hat
trick (three goals) and two
assists. Jacquelyn Eleey,
Caroline Kiley, Presley
McLaughlin, Loren Miller
and Colleen Bellotti also
scored for Quincy and Erin
McGinnis was solid in net.
Stephanie DiPietro contrib-
uted to the 8-1 win with two
assists.
Quincy's second round-
robin game was against
tournament host Melrose.
Quincy dominated and
came away as 7-0 winners.
Erin McGinnis finished with
a shutout between the pipes
and Presley McLaughlin led
the way offensively with a
goal and two assists. Quin-
cy had seven other play-
ers' light the lamp. Sarah
Tabeek, Jacquelyn Eleey,
Colleen Bellotti, Stephanie
DiPietro, Loren Miller and
Emily Sullivan all scored
and Caroline Kelly, Emily
Tabeek, Katie White and
Leah Ryan added assists.
Quincy finished the
round-robin portion of the
tournament with a 1-1 tie
versus Arlington. Chaislyn
Burgio and Erin McGin-
nis were strong in goal for
Quincy and Sarah Tabeek
tallied the team's lone goal.
In the semifinals, Quincy
went up against Medford,
who had entered the state
tournament with an un-
defeated record. Medford
jumped out to an early 1-0
lead before Stephanie DiPi-
etro tied the game midway
through the second period.
The contest remained tied
at 1-1 throughout the third
period and three overtimes,
at which point the game
was halted for one hour due
to the ice having been pre-
viously rented. After this
break in the action, both
teams came back energized,
with a spot in the state finals
on the line.
Emily Tabeek won the
game for Quincy in the fifth
overtime with a wrist shot
that found its way through
a screen and into the top
comer of the net. Chaislyn
Burgio was outstanding in
goal during the overtime
periods and people who
watched the game called it
one of the best girls youth
hockey games seen in re-
cent history.
Just three hours later
Quincy skated onto the ice
for a rematch with a rested
Arlington squad for the state
title. Arlington took a 1 -0 in
the first period before Quin-
cy's Loren Miller scored
to make it 1-1. Arlington
scored again in the final pe-
riod for the 2-1 advantage
and had to withstand a furi-
ous Quincy rally at the end
of the game to preserve the
victory.
By finishing second
in the state tournament,
Quincy again took home a
medal. That makes it three
years in a row. The Under-
12 team (2007) reached the
semifinals and the Lfnder-
12 (2008) advanced to the
final game.
■'We've been at the top
of the South Shore Confer-
ence standings all season
due to our stellar defense
and timely scoring," added
Tabeek. "The girls have
allowed less than a goal a
game for the season and our
team defense is a big reason
for our success."
Members of the 2009
Quincy team included
Chaislyn Burgio, Loren
Miller, Megan White, Sarah
Tabeek, Katie W'hite, Leah
Ryan, Caroline Kiley, Jac-
quelyn Eleey, Caroline Kel-
ly, Emily Tabeek, Brianna
Mullaney, Danielle Mul-

NQ Softball Looking To Make Noise
By SEAN BRENNAN
The success of the 2009
North Quincy Red Raider
Softball team is heavily de-
pendent on a strong, smart
and athletic senior class,
and the improvement of the
team's talented underclass-
men. North, which gradu-
ated five impact players off
last year's team (a team that
finished 12-8, losing in the
first round of Dl South Sec-
tionals), returns six seniors
to the team this spring.
North Quincy will also
have a brand new head
coach this year. Kerry Ginty
replaces Michael Connor on
the bench. Ginty. who coach-
es the NQHS girls volleyball
team in the fall, is a former
Red Raider softball captain
and is a well-respected high
school coach.
"Sometimes a first-\ear
head coach can be worried
about missing something or
feel overwhelmed." Gintv

Ginty added. "Kathleen is
also a great athlete. Brittany
is maybe our best softball
player and Catherine, Aman-

duction and leadership.
"This is a veteran group.
They are smart and they are
athletic. These girls are a
huge part of the success of
not only North Quincy soft-
ball, but North Quincy girls
athletics overall."
Ginty 's junior class
should also prove to be vital
to team success. Sammi Bo-
nanni wilt start the year as
the team's #1 starter on the
hill. Fellow juniors Jess Ain-
sley. Carolyn Ainsley. Katie
Sheridan. Devon McKay and
Lindsey Repucci will join
Bonanni on the roster. Fresh-
man Emma Ainslev rounds
out the varsity roster.
"Sammi will open the
season as our ace pitcher,"
said Ginty. "She has been
working hard all off-season
with a pitching coach, so she
is expecfing big things. The
Ainsley sisters are strong
Softball players and Katie
will back up Amanda Kelly
behind the plate.
"Devon, our starting sec-
ond baseman and Lindsey
should also be major parts
of what we expect will be a
good year for our team."
The Red Raiders strengths
this spring, in Ginty 's assess-
ment, will come from solid
pitching, catch-everything de-
fense and timely offense and
the team will need all three
aspects of their game to come
together playing in the ultra-
competitive Patriot League.
"We should have a strong
fielding team once the jitters
disappear," said Ginty. "With
good defense, our pitching
should benefit and if our
offense can generate some
timely hits we should be in
every game on the schedule.
"Playing in the Patriot
League we are going to face
.some really gtwd teams. The
pitching in the league looks
strong and I see every game
being compefitive and a
challenge. There are no easy
wins in this league.
"One of our team goals is
to make the post-season and
advance past the first round.
This team is looking to, not
only make the tournament,
but when we get there, do
some damage."

Lynch. Jess Davis and Al-
yssa Mullen.
"By league meet time
(Ma\ 18) we will be in full
stride and our top people will
be ready to score in the state
meet."
The team, being as young
and green as they are this
spring, will also have to deal
with the fact that their squad
has no real home track facil-
ity. With a team that is made
up of a combination of stu-
dent/athletes from Quincy
and North Quincy High
Schools, getting everyone to
the same location to pracUce
is a chore. But not an ob-

Altorne) Tracy Wilson,
of Quincy, will be running
in the in"" Boston Marathon
on April 20 to benefit Chil-
dren's Hospital Boston. As a
member of Children's 'Miles
for Miracles Team," runners
like Wilson have an extra in-
centive to push them across
the finish line: helping chil-
dren and families who re-
ceive world-class care at the
hospital. This will be Wil-
son's second Boston Mara-
thon on behalf of the 'Miles
for Miracles Team.'
Wilson is running in hon-
or of 1 1 -year old Rachel . Ra-
chel has osteogenesis Imper-
fecta (brittle bones), a very
rare genetic disorder.
"Children's Hospital has
provided Rachel and her
family with compassionate
staff, unparalleled expertise
and so much more," Wilson
stated. "But Rachel is just
one patient. There are thou-
sands of kids who wouldn't
be here today without Chil-
dren's. This is why I joined
the hospital's marathon team
again, and 1 committed to
raising funds to help save
kids' lives through its phe-
nomenal research and care."
Wilson will be holding a
fundraiser/comedy night at
the Greater Quincy Knights

April 1 1 at 7 p.m. There
will be music, comedy by

is dedicated to sending care
packages to US troops in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
Foley has a personal con-
necUon with CarePacks Inc

Iraq and Afghanistan. His
brother, Jeremiah, is cur-
rently serving in the United
States Marie Corps.
"This cause is close to my
heart because my younger
brother Jeremiah is now in
the Marines," Foley said.
"Luckily, (he) has a great
family and awesome friends
who send him packages. Un-
fortunately, not everyone is
as lucky, and there are many
people serving our country
who do not have anyone to
send him or her the most ba-
sic amenities. I understand

A REAL KNJOCKOUT
A perrnanent tooth that has tal health
been completely knocked
out ot its socket may suffer
damage to tfie nerves, blood
supply, and underlying bone.
Successful replantation of the
tooth often depends on how
long the tooth has been out-
side the tooth. Teeth that are
set back into place within 30
minutes of being knocked out
usually have the best chance
We're located at
44 Greenleaf Street, where
we stress that health de-
pends on healthy teeth and
good dental care. A thorough
examination and detailed ex-
planation of all findings and
treatment needed are rou-
tinely given. Please call 617-
479-6220 to schedule an
appointment. We're always
happy to discuss improving
of surviving. Thus, there is your smile, and thus, your to-
every reason to act quickly tal feeling of self-esteem. We
Pick up the avulsed (knocked
out) tooth by the crown and
gently rinse i^ in milk (or wa-
ter), if soiled. Then, gently
insert the tooth back into its
socket and hold it firmly in
place. If replanting is not pos-
sible, place the tooth in milk
and proceed to the dentist.
We strive to teach you
good oral hygiene. In the long
run, you will have better den-
offer the services of anesthe-
siology with a fully trained
and qualified anesthesiolo-
gist. Visit us on the web at

PS. Do not touch or scrub
the root of an avulsed tooth,
as this can adversely affect
any remaining tissue and
comprorvise the success of
replantation.

celebrate the Easter Vigil on
Saturday. April II at 7:30
p.m.
"One phrase can sum up
this powerful service. " said
the Rev. Dr. Susan F. Jarek-
Glidden. church pastor, "and
that is. 'expect the unexpect-
ed.' In a very heart-felt way.
the Vigil proclaims the hope
and promise of Easter."
Dating from the earli-
est years of the Christian
Church, the Easter Vigil is a
service unlike any other, lit-
erally leading the congrega-
tion from Lent to Easter. It
does so through word, song,
and. most importantly, sym-
bols that refer to Scripture.
Because many people today
are unfamiliar with symbol-
ic interpretation, explanato-
ry notes are provided in the
text of the Vigil Service.
Rev. Dr. Jarek-Glidden
has also updated the ancient
service somewhat, so that is
■'speaks" to today's Chris-
tians.
Everyone attending the
Vigil is requested to bring a
flashlight - an updated and
safer version of the tradi-
tional candles. Some extra
flashlights will be available
People are also asked
to wear comfortable walk-
ing shoes. "Some walking
is involved in the Vigil, but
Quincy Community Lfnited
Methodist Church has made
provisions for those who
can't walk far. If you can
walk up and down a flight
of stairs, you'll be fine." the
Rev. Dr. Jarek-Glidden said.
For more information,

Parishioners from First
Baptist Church Braintree
and Union Congregational
Church in Wollaston will
share services, a meal and a
4.5-mile walk.
For the past several
years, the two congregations
have held worship together
in their respective buildings
then carried a 16-foot cross
through Quincy and Brain-
tree or Braintree and Quincy
depending on the year.
This year, Pastor Robert
Killeffer of First Baptist will
lead worship and preach at
a 3 p.m. service at Union
Congregational Church,
Following the service,
people who desire and are
able will join Pastor Killef-
fer and Pastor Swanson of
Union Congregational on a
walk to First Baptist Brain
tree.
Following dinner. Pastor
.Swanson will lead worship
and preach at First Baptist.
Hach year, the walk is

uphill but whatever the di-
rectiv)n both churches enjoy
each other's fellowship as
they witness their faith.
All people regardless of
their church affiliation are
invited to participate in the
walk and attend the services
as well as the meal, which is

4 Thoi/ght
Easter is the happiest holiday of
Christendom , and the chorus of hal-
lelujahs and alleluias sings around
the world.
Men with little theology and less
sensitivity somehow are awakened
DON McCarthy by the celebration. Men who have
Managing Director devoted lifetimes to the collection of
material things pause to reflect on ultimate goals. For the
devout, Easter is affirmation and reassurance.
Easter is a miracle. It is a day when the insight is
granted to discover that many of us may be dead w ithin
even when we can see and feel and hear and talk. This is
a cold tomb for a person who think he is living. Easter
reminds him of the warm sunshine of love, the reality
of caring and compassion. . .
Yes, the shadow of darkness falls away as the sun
climbs over the horizon and rises into the Easter sky.
If in the bright light of this day a frail mortal sees his
sham, his prejudice, his insincerity and his insecurity;
if he also can see goodness reaching into forever, then
he has been a witness to the meaning of Easter . . .

Kids Confused, Embolded By Changes In Marijuana Law
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Police and city coun-
cillors Monday described
rampant confusion among
the city's youngsters as they
deal with the fallout from
the state's November refer-
endum which decriminal-
ized the possession of one
ounce or less of marijuana.
As a result of the vote,
penalties are similar to park-
ing tickets, but with fines
increasing for repeated of-
fenses.
Speakers repeatedly em-
phasized that marijuana and
related substances are ille-
gal in Massachusetts but last
year's vote has clouded the
issue.
High school students,
middle school students,
and even younger chil-
dren are telling police and
DARE (Drug/Alcohol Re-
sistance Education) ofhcers.
"What's the bij: deal'.' Its le-
gal." Ward .^ City Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin told the
Ordinance Committee.
DARE ofhcers have told
Coughlin that in middle and
elementarv school, "Kids
think the possession and
consumption is legal."
"There's a public percep-
tion that it's legal. It's not
legal," said Coughlin who
said the schools are taking a
pro-active approach.
Councillors reviewed
and amended Coughlin's
proposed ordinance leveling
tines tor using marijuana t)r
related substances in public,
allowing seizure. and requir-
ing parental notification.
Police Chief Paul Keenan
told councillors that law en-
forcement officials across
the state want new laws
"■ There's heen one nia|< >i
. "iisensus Cine ioc.ii com-
nuinities the teeth to deal
with It." the chief said
■'It was -tarthng to ine
how (.November's referen-
dum) emboldened teens and

Star Of Sea Friends
Seek New Mediation
By TOM HENSHAW
The five-year struggle
by the Friends of Star of
the Sea to revive their sup-
pressed Squantum church
as a parish has taken a new
turn with the filing of a "re-
quest for mediation" with
the Vatican.
The request urges the
Secretary of State to instruct
the Vatican Curia to suspend
its review of parish closings
while diocesan bishops sus-
pend parish closing decrees
and enter into mediation
with 31 groups of panshio-
ners.
A news release from
Sean Glennon and Maureen
Mazrimas, co-chairs of the
Friends, called the proposal
"a last resort before a deeper
crisis emerges."
They envisioned "a pos-
sible future decision by di-
ocesan bishops to order the
police to remove by force
Catholics now on vigil in
five Boston-area churches
and one church in Adams."
"Our chairpersi)!! on the
Council of Parishes hand-
delivered our mediation
proposal to the Holy See's
Under Secretary of State
on April 7 on behalf of 31
parishioner groups in eight
Amencan dioceses," said
Glennon,
"The Council says this
request was a last resort
because of a likelihcxid of
across-the-board denials by
the Vatican's highest court
of nine pending appeals
from Boston parishioners."
He forecast "a pt>ssiblc
future decision b\ the arch-
bishop to resort to police to
clear live churches currcntl)
in vigil in Boston, result-
ing in numerous arrests of
Catholics praying in their
churches."

Mayor Thomas Koch
Tuesday issued a sharp de-
fense of the City Council
and the city's residents af-
ter the lawyer lobbying for
a new Asian supermarket in
North Quincy alleged that
opposition to the project is
based on racism rather than
concerns over traffic and
public safety.
In a letter to lawyer
Christopher Harrington,
Koch calls allegations of
racism "baseless and offen-
sive" and a cynical effort to
pit neighbor versus neighbor
over the C-Mart Supermar-
ket proposed for Hayward
Street in North Quincy.
"Regardless of whatever
benefit you believe your
clients will derive from this
tactic, make no mistake that
it is a direct insult to the City
Council, an insult to me per-
sonally, and an insult to the
residents of the community
of all races who have voiced
their opinion on this proj-
ect," Koch wrote in his let-
ter to Harrington.
A letter that Harrington
TOM KOCH
sent to the City Council,
which holds permitting au-
thority over the project,
accusing officials and resi-
dents of "obvious racial bias
in the community" during
the public hearing process,
prompted Koch's stem reac-
tion.
Harrington also accused
Quincy's Traffic Engineer
Jack Gillon of using faulty
concerns and questions
about the project's impact
on the Norfolk Downs and
the surrounding area as a
pretext to "cover up racial
opposition to the project."
"Jack Gillon is one of the
most well -respected traf-
fic engineers in the entire
Commonwealth, and 1 am
not going to allow his pro-
fessionalism and skill to be
smeared by what to me is
obvious grandstanding,"
Koch said of his reaction to
the letter.
Koch said that the at-
tempt to inject race into a
permitting process where a
number of legitimate issues
remain would have no ef-
fect on the level of scrutiny
given to the project by any
member of the administra-
tion.
The City Council is still
hearing the case and a vote
has not been scheduled.
"I am proud of the City
of Quincy and its long his-
tory of welcoming new resi-
dents, and businesses, from
many backgrounds and cul-
tures," Koch wrote. "This
will not change now or any-
time in the near future, de-
spite your efforts to tarnish
this record with incendiary
accusations."

McNamee Seeks Relief For Marina Bay Residents
Speakers Support
Anti-Noise Ordinance
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Marina Bay residents
have long suffered noise
from a nearby nightclub and,
more recently, the beginning
of the reconstruction of Nep-
onset Bridge, but there may
be some relief ahead.
In response to their
problems with loud music
and jackhammers through-
out the night. Ward 6 City
Councillor Brian McNamee
proposed a detailed anti-
noise ordinance in 2008 and
resubmitted his proposal in
February.
Committee discussed
details of the proposal Mon-
day, recommended some mi-
nor changes and postponed
voting on the measure until
a future meeting when spe-
cific information on mea-
sunng sound is available.
The proposed ordinance
includes penalties for caus-
ing excessive noise, details
the parameters for measur-
ing noise, and includes a
recommendation for a com-
mittee to review and update
the ordinance twice a year.
In introducing the pro-
posal, McNamee said exces-
sive noise is not onlv a citv-
BRIAN McNAMEE
wide problem and, likely a
national problem but, also, a
health concern.
He quoted Dr. Robyn
Gershon of Columbia Uni-
versity who said noise can
not only make one deaf but
cause heart and other health
problems.
McNamee won praise
and support for the ordi-
nance from fellow council-
lors at Monday's Ordinance
Committee meeting and
from other city officials. Po-
lice Chief Paul Keenan,City
Clerk Joseph Shea, chair-
man of the Licensing Board,
and Building Inspector Jay
Duca all testified in favor of
the ordinance.
"Everyone knows that
noise has been an issue for a
long time," Shea said, add-

ing later, "It's needed. It can
get accomplished in 2fX)9."
"It's an ordinance that
has some teeth," said Chief
Keenan. "It does give us one
more tool in the toolbox."
Shea and Keenan both de-
scribed complaints regard-
ing entertainment venues
where the noise from open
dcx)rs or open windows of-
fends residential neighbors.
"This is a good piece of
work and addresses a long-
standing problem," said
Councillor John Keenan
who asked that the council
hear from sound exf)erts .
The issue will be re-
viewed at a future meeting.

Ward 2 City Councillor
Daniel Raymondi invited
residents to join the Friends
of Faxon Park for park
clean-up on Sat.. April 18
from 9 a.m. to noon.
Raymondi said there'll
be Dunkin' Donuts coffee
and muffins in the pavilion
area for volunteers and de-
scribed the project as "our
first attempt as a community
to help the city" at Faxon
Park.
The Friends of Faxon
Park plan to work to enhance

master plan for the area.
(QHA).
MacRitchie called that
fire station a "valuable as-
set," particularly in view
of the QHA housing on the
peninsula
"We have a huge pres-
ence in Germantown." said
MacRitchie, noting such
properties as the eight stor>
O'Brien towers. 284 units on
Bicknell St. and 580 famil\
housing units.
MacRitchie asked that
the committee approve the
paperwork needed to turn
the fire station proper!) o\er
to the city.
"Everybody thinks that
property is owned b\ the
cit\." MacRitchie said ot
the Doane Street tire station
location. "It's not "
MacRitchie said the fire
station IS located on QHA
land and the only wa> to
straighten out the issue is b)

Son Beams
By ROBERT BOSWORTH
'Playing 18' With Granite Links Golf Pro Chris Sleeper
Ahhhh, spring.
When a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of . . .
for me anyway . . . golf.
I recently sat down with Chris Sleeper, PGA director of
golf at the Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, and "played"
1 8 holes. Actually, 1 asked him 1 8 questions about his career
as a golf pro. his job at Granite Links, and some of his more
memorable moments on the links.
We don't mind if you caddy for us and tag along for all
"18."
#1. What do you like most about your job at Granite
Links?
CS.: "I love what I do. I get to come to work at a golf
course every day. It's my passion. It's what I love and I love
it even more here at Granite Links because I came when
there was nothing. I've been an integral part of building it to
what it is so my passion and love for the game and golf in
depth here because it's been from scratch."
#2. What's the biggest mistake amateur golfers make?
CJS.: "Not practicing their short game enough. Everyone
likes to go to the range and pound balls. No one likes to chip
and putt but that's where you save the most shots and your
scores come down the fastest if you chip and putt better."
#3. How can an aspiring young golfer improve their
game?
CS.: "They should practice and make sure they practice
enough short game as well as full -swing. They should get
out. play and enjoy the game."
#4. What is the most common remark you hear golfers
make at Quarry Hills?
CS.: How beautiful the views are. We have a couple of
areas - probably three or four good spots - where the view
of Boston looks like it's right there. They can't believe that
they're so close to the city and there's a piece of property
that is this high up."
#5. Any advice for first-timers who play this course?
CJS.: "We have four sets of tees. Make sure you play the
set of tees that is for your handicapped level. We have a set
of forward tees and then we have white, blue and black tees.
As long as you play the set of tees that is appropriate - (e.g)
single-digit - scratch handicappers can play the black. If you
play the set for your ability, you'll have a lot of fun. The golf
course is fair and generous. But some people try to play a
set of tees that is a little too far back and it makes it a little
hard for them."
#6. Who would be in your ideal foursome?
CS.: "Tiger Woods, Freddie Couples, my dad, Ray
Sleeper, and myself."
#7. Favorite hole at Granite Links?
CS.: "Granite #5. It's a Par 4 where they had to leave a
couple of the granite rock features in the fairway because the
ledge was just too big to get rid of. Without having a quarry
it reminds you what property you're on with the ledge right
there. It's one of the few holes that shapes through the trees.
Everything else is links style."
#8. What course would you most like to play but
haven 't?
CS.: (No hesitation whatsoever) "Augusta National."
#9a. Who would win: Tiger Woods versus Phil Mickelson
in stroke play in at Granite Links?

MEET CHRIS SLEEPER
Age: 35 Hometown: Brighton
Education: Springfield College (1995) and attended
Boston College High School.
Handicap: Scratch
Lowest Round: Shot 67 at Oakley Country Qub in Wa-
tertown (low round at Granite links: 69 in a toumameQt.)
CS.: "Tiger."
#9b. And in match play?
CS.: 'i still think Tiger. I think overall he's a better
golfer. Phil would like this golf course because we have a
number of holes that are risk-reward. He loves the risk so
he'd take that risk on a lot of them. He could make some
really low scores because of that risk but the risk-reward
on some of them is you either make an eagle or you make a
very large number."
#10: What little known fact about Granite Links would
surprise someone?
CS.: "Not everyone understands that this was once ac-
tive landfills and that's it's all Big Dig dirt that capped it and
made all this possible. Local people know those stories but
we have so many people visiting who have no idea of that
story. They just know that they came as a tourist to Boston
and someone recommended Granite Links and they have no
idea about that part of the story - how it was all Big Dig
dirt. Once they hear about that, they want to know the whole
story. For local people, even a lot of them who used to come
up to the quarries are surprised that you can stand here on
land now and see the city as opposed to what it was prior."
#1L What makes Granite Links unique in terms of the
course layout?
CS.: "In New England, there are not that many links
golf courses. We are a links golf course which means there
are very, very few trees. You shape it with little mounds and
fescue heather - it's a type of grass that you let grow long
and it gets very wispy in the summer. A links style is tradi-
tionally near the ocean; the way the crow flies we are very
close to ocean here. It's unique because it's not often that
you can give an architect literally tons of dirt and let him
shape it the way he wants. He was able to make some very
distinct holes. We've had some very good players come
through and say how all 27 holes are unique."
#12: Will the latest equipment dramatically improve an
amateur 's game?
CJS.: "If someone comes to us with either very old equip-
ment or has never been fit for equipment, then we can make
a dramatic change without actually giving them a lesson.
That's because for some people the equipment they have
just isn't right for them. You see it a lot in juniors. They have
dad's hand-me-downs that are just too heavy or too stiff of a
shaft. You see it a lot too in seniors who have had the same
stiff shaft for 35 years and don't want to give it up. But if
you get those people into regular flex or light-flex shafts, all
of a sudden the results they see are drastically different. All
the major manufacturers make incredibly great stuff. If you
find the correct equipment - loft, shaft - to fit your game, 1
think the fitting is the most important part. If you get a fit-
ting, I think it can change how you play and help you."
#13. Do you have any holes-in-one to your credit?
CS.: "I have one - at Abila Country Club in Tampa, Fla.
1 used a four-iron, 188 yards."
#14. Favorite club you love to pull out of the bag?
CJS.: "I love the putter. 1 love putting. It's enjoyable and
it's fun."
#15. Finish this sentence: "If I weren 't a golf profession-
al, I would be ... ?
CJS.: "I would probably be in sports management of
some sort. My degree was in sports management with a
minor in business. I can't imagine not being in sports. My
internships were all with professional teams in the promo-
tions department doing marketing promotions and that was
always fun. I interned with the Springfield Falcons (Ameri-
can Hockey League), Hartford Whalers (former NHL team
now the Carolina Hurricanes) and the Boston Celtics for a
linle bit."
#16. Your favorite PGA golf tournament to watch on
TV?
CJS.: "The Masters. It's the first (golf) Major of the year.
It's kind of unofficially the spring kick off of the golf sea-
son. Everyone gets excited watching it and people start to
want to play and they get that itch. It's a great tournament.
Augusta National is a shot-maker's golf course. You just
can't go out there and overpower it. You have to shape shots
and it's fun to watch the pros know where to hit it and where
not to miss it. Overall it's such a great tournament and the
fime of year is perfect, too.
#17. Have you ever attended a men 's Major?
CS. "I've seen a Ryder Cup in person and two U.S. Opens.
The Ryder Cup was at The Coimtry Club in Brookline and
the U.S. Opens were at The Country Club in Brookline in
1988 (when Curtis Strange won in an-18-hole playoff) and
in 2006 at Wmged Foot Golf Club (in Mamaroneck, N.Y.)
when Geoff Ogilvy won. I actually worked the si.\th tee at
the 1988 U.S. Open at The Country Club for a week. That
was great - being inside the ropes and seeing all the play-
ers. At Winged Foot, I was able to walk inside the rof>es
with Geoff Ogilvy for his pracfice round and hung out with
him"
#18. Your foruiest golf memory?
CS. "I was fortunate enough to get invited to play Cy-
press Point out in Monterey, Calif. It is such an exceptional
golf course and it was just our foursome on the golf course
- no one else. We had caddies. It was one of those sunny,
perfect roimds of golf on a golf course that has been ranked
number one in the world for years. Cypress Point is one of
those places that you just can't get on. But a friend of mine
was able to make a phone call. It was just a wonderful, per-
fect day. I had three other golf pro friends of mine with me.
It's always been a private club and always will be."
Thanks, Chris. Time to hit the range and work on my
short game.
G
SPEAKING OF GOLF, I hope our readers will be kind
enough and give me a mulligan - make that two mulligans
~ for a few mistakes in last week's column. Here are the
corrections. First, Leo Kelly finished second in the 1973
preliminary election for Ward 1 councillor. It was the late
Paul Harold who topped the ballot in the preliminary. Kelly,
as noted, won the final election. Second: Peter Kolson lost
his bid for councillor at-large in 1999, not 2003. (Greg Han-
ley won the Ward 1 seat that same year.)
Q
SPEAKING OF MULLIGANS, I got a nice note from
a former high school classmate, John Mulligan, who ex-
pressed his sympathy over the passing of my dad.
"I did not know Henry but got to know him as a Sun sub-
scriber of five years. He had that great writer's gift of put-
ting you right in the middle of a scene, like you experienced
it yourself. I also admired his love of the City of Quincy,"
John wrote, noting he is a resident of Pollard Place, the site
of one of Henry's favorite topics: the Pollard School.
Thanks for all your kind words, John. I appreciate every
one.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1916 postcard view of the old Metropolitan
Police station on the corner of Cross Street and Furnace
Brook Parkway in West Quincy. This was one of two
police stations built on the new Metropolitan Park-
way that was built through Quincy at that time. The
other one was on Wollaston Beach. The road ran from
Atlantic along Wollaston Beach to Black's Creek and
then on to the Blue Hills Reservation. It was part of the
extensive Metropolitan Park and roadway system built
throughout Boston and it surrounding communities.
The policeman in the doorway was an example of the
original community-policing concept. Today, this build-
ing still stands but appears pretty much abandoned by
the DCR as it is in terrible disrepair. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin^ verizon.net.

Readers Forum
Says City Is Not Manipulating Fire Chief Appointment
A perusal of the front
page of Wednesday's Pa-
triot Ledger indicated that
the newspaper continues its
campaign of casting Mayor
Tom Koch in the least favor-
able light.
The headline, "State says
city erred on fire chief,"
plus the sub headline, "Civil
Service Commission says
Quincy acting chief appoint-
ment a violation," is in the
context of a story in which
the Civil Service Commis-
sion dismissed an appeal by
Deputy Chief Gary Smyth,
who argued that he was im-
properly bypassed for Act-
ing Fire Chief and also as
Permanent Fire Chief when
the city called for a new civil
service exam in November.
One would have to care-
fully read the Ledger story
in order to discern the Koch
administration victory on
this matter. As the Mayor
points out m an accompany-
ing story, many accusations
were made that the city was
attempting, unjustly, to ma-
nipulate the appointment of
the Permanent Fire Chief.
These accusations have
been found baseless by Civil
Service.
To prove that a newspa-
per can get it right, please
see The Quincy Sun with
the headline "Civil Service
Rules: Fire Chief Process
Legit."
How can two newspapers
reporting on the same story
reach such different conclu-
sions? You decide.

Thank You For Supporting Her Trip To Kolkata, India
Dear Friends and Neigh-
bors,
1 am a 22-year old col-
lege student at St. Michael's
College in Vermont and a
resident of Houghs Neck.
I would like to thank all of
you who supported me on
my trip to Kolkata, India
last May. 1 wouldn't have
been able to do it without
you. 1 went to Kolkata with
a group of students from
the MOVE program (Mo-
bilization Of Volunteer Ef-
forts) of St. Michael's Col-
lege in Vermont; we spent
three weeks volunteering in
Mother Teresa's homes and
the New Life/New Hope Or-
phanage. Together with the
other people in my group,
we were able to bring over
$14,000 to donate to dif-
ferent organizations work-
ing for the poor in Kolkata.
The poverty there was un-
like anything I could have
imagined, and it is hard to
believe that what 1 saw was
real life for the people who
lived there.
Every morning we saw
so many people sleeping on
the ground, bathing at the
faucets on th,e side of the
road, and chewing on twigs
to clean their teeth. Their
lives were so exposed. Rick-
shaw drivers pulled passen-
gers and other heavy loads
around the city, running
through 1 10-degree heat and
thick, polluted air. Some of
the drivers didn't have any
sandals to wear, so they'd
run along the rocky streets
in their bare feet, dodging
cars, people and animals.
Kolkata is currently
home to about 15 million
people, and not only is there
a serious lack of space for
everyone; there is also a
lack of jobs and resources.
Some people sort through
giant piles of trash to find
something of value, and
many have resorted to beg-
ging. There are numerous
child beggars. Some of the
beggars have been purpose-
fully disfigured by their
"bosses" (they've had limbs
cut off and been intention-
ally blinded), so that people
will feel more sympathetic
towards them and will give
them more money.
Mother Teresa's Mission-
aries of Charity offer free
meals to the poor, and they
also provide beds and care
to children and adults who
are sick, injured, orphaned,
and/or disabled. Our group
volunteered in the different
homes she set up, helping
feed and clean people, pick-
ing lice, washing dishes and
laundry, and cutting hair and
nails, among other things.
1 am going back to Kol-
kata this May. and this time
I'll be co-leading the stu-
dents with Annie Brabazon.
another Quincy native. If
you would like to make any
contribution we would be
extremely grateful, as even
a small amount can be very
helpful over there.
All donations are tax-de-
ductible, please make any
checks out to MOVE Inter-
national Service Trip, and
mail them to: MOVE. Box
395, One Winooski Park.
Colchester, VT 05439.
Thank you.

Rita's Potatoes, Alfredo Style
I think the average person loves potatoes
of any kind from mashed to roasted.
Last week. 1 had the roasted white and
sweet potatoes recipe.
This week as my daughter Rita was having
her usual morning coffee with me she told
me about a delicious recipe for potatoes that
she made for Sunday dinner.
Its what I call a gourmet side dish and
pretty simple to make. I'm sure once you
try these, you will enjoy them as much as
any other potato. It's about the same sauce
as would be used for fettuccine Alfredo.
POTATOES ALFREDO STYLE
5 pounds of potatoes sliced about a quarter
of an inch or so.
3 cups half and half heavy cream
1 stick unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup. fresh Parmesan cheese (grated)
Preheat oven to 35>0 degrees.
Lightly butter a baking pan.
After you peel and slice the potatoes, par
boil them until they are fork tender. (Don't
overcook) If you have a sheer, it naturally
is much easier to prepare this dish.
Place the first layer on the bottom of the
baking pan. Pour some of the sauce over
them. Then another layer of the potatoes and
so forth until they are done. Rita used Kosher
salt (or other) and seasoned each layer with
the salt. She said this potato recipe needs the
extra salt.
Top it off with more grated cheese and
bake covered for about 30 minutes, then
uncovered for about 15 minutes more. She
served the potatoes with roast stuffed lamb,
but they are delicious with anything.

Fundraiser To Kick Off City's Tourism Season
Discover Quincy Spring Gala
May 2 At Quincy Marriott
The first "Discover Quin-
cy Spring Gala" will be held
Saturday. May 2 at the Bos-
ton Marriott Quincy, 1000
Marriott Drive, from 6:30
to 1 1 p.m.
The event is being spon-
sored by the Boston Mar-
riott Quincy. Proceeds from
the event will be used to
promote tourism in the City
of Quincy.
Tourism in an integral
component and significant
contributor to the City of
Quincy 's economic devel-
opment plans and is the third
largest industry in the State
of Massachusetts. While
visitors come to Quincy
throughout the year, the
tourism season begins with
opening day for the Adams
National Historic Parks,
which is Monday, April 19.
According to local tour-
ism officials, the overwhelm-
ing success of the HBO
miniseries "John Adams"
has had a direct positive im-
pact on Quincy's economy
and its popularity. While the
miniseries certainly created
a "buzz" about the City of
Presidents, the series alone
did not drive the almost
400,000 visitors that came
to Quincy in 2008.
Discover Quincy, the
City of Quincy's official
tourism office, capitalized
on the success of "John
Adams" by implementing
a well-structured domestic
and international marketing
approach. But like many
other non-profit, public/pri-
vate partnerships. Discover
Quincy has been affected by
today's fiscal climate.
"We saw the writing on
the wall earlier this year and
recognized that state monies
and other funding sources
that we have relied upon in
the past were not going to be
available," said Mark Carey,
executive director of Dis-
cover Quincy. "We needed
to get creative and think of
new ways to bring in rev-
enue that would enable us
to continue to foster the mo-
mentum that our marketing
efforts have gained."
The result is the first an-
nual Discover Quincy Spring
Gala fundraiser. Through
the generosity of David Ce-
sario. general manager of
the Boston Marriott Quincy.
Discover Quincy is able to
hold the event at a beautiful
venue that is conveniently
located.
Attendees will enjoy a
silent auction, cocktail re-
ception and seated dinner,
followed by dancing to the
lively sounds of "Justice",
a soul and funk band that
gets the crowd on their feet
by playing tribute to such
legendary acts as The Four
Tops, The Temptations, and
the Jackson 5, as well as
Bell Big Devote and hits of
today! Tickets are $65 each
and all monies raised will
be used to promote tourism
in the City of Quincy. Visit
www.discoverquincy.com
or call (617) 657-0527 for
more information or to pur-
chase tickets.
Discover Quincy is a
non-profit organization that
was formed in 2004 to pro-
mote tourism in the City of
Quincy. Discover Quincy's

Kids Confused, Embolded
By Changes In Marijuana Law
Friends Seek New Mediation

ing that "an ounce is a sig-
nificant atnounl ""
In fact. Lt Patrick Cil\nn.
the city's Drug l^iitorcement
otticer. said an ounce ot pol
vsould measure about tour

)uana tor 50 H> hOjoints
"Some kids carr> a scale
to make sure the> have less
than an ounce." Gl>nn said
luesda\. adding the situa-
tion IS serious but "It's not
an epidemic.
"Many of them are bold,"
Gl>nn said and will tell an
officer, "l have less than an
ounce. They believe they're
exempt from the law ."
DARE officers report to
Glynn and have told him that
the program's target group,
those in .5th and 6th grade,
are somewhat battled
"The \ote has changed
ever) thing," said Glynn
who said younger students
are raising questions, "\Vh\,
last year, it v\as bad for us .'"
and. "All of a sudden, it is
no longer an arrestable of-
fense."
L:)ARI: officers outline
all the dangers of marijuana
as the "gateway drug." such
as mood swings, behavior
changes, and the diminish-
ment of inhibitions and ini-
tiative, but they're still bat-
tling the perception that it's
harmless.
"It's difficult enough be-
ing a child, growing up,"
Glynn told the councillors
who approved Goughlin's
ordinance which will now
be presented to the full
council.
(\nighlin submitted the
original proposal in January
in response to passage of
Article 2 in November.
At the time. Coughlin
noted he has worked in the
probation held for some 30
years and has seen the prob-
lems facing children, youths
and families affected by
substance abuse.
Three weeks later, sev-
eral dozen opponents of
stricter fines picketed City
Hall and attended the coun-
cil meeting.
Coughlin said Mon-
day that he streamlined the
language of the ordinance
passed Monday so that it
mirrors penalties imposed
for public drinking of alco-
hol. He nt)ted that dozens of
other cities and towns have
instituted similar laws in
response to the passage of
Article 2.
"We're not doing this in
a vacuum," said Coughlin.
"The change in the law cre-
ated an issue."
The ordinance includes
increasing the fines for
subsequent episodes, the
requirement that offend-
ers give their real names,
forfeiture of the marijuana
or other illegal substance,
and notification of parents.
Coughlin removed a section
which would allow the con-
fiscation of drug parapher-
nalia.

was suppressed as a parish
by Sean Cardinal O'Malley
in October, 2(K)4, and al
lowed to reopen as a cha
pel in July, 2005, for one
Sunday Mass a week, shar-
ing a priest with Sacred

"We would ask O'Malley
for the right to conduct wed-
dings, baptisms and funer-
als," said Glennon the day
after Easter Sunday. "We are
still waiting for an organ and
religious education classes.
"We had a great turnout
yesterday, about 400 people.
Usually we have around
250. That shows that we are
still a vibrant Catholic com-
munity."
The Friends have ap-
pealed the suppression of
their church to the Plenaria
of the Apostolic Signatura,
the Supreme Court of the
Vatican, and that appeal had
been denied by a panel of
cardinals.
riiev have appealed the
denial of their first appeal
to the full bench of the court
and that appeal has been
pending now for 10 months.
"Ihere is no realistic
chance for relief, given that
the Plenaria has not granted
any parishioner appeals
in the past 40 years." said
Glennon Mazrimas. "All ef-
forts by parishioners for a
pastoral dialogue with their
bishops have failed
"The Council argues
that the Roman Catholic
Church in America is now
in free fall with 1,0(K) par-
ishes closed or scheduled to
close; thousands more are m
jeopardy, and one third of
persons raised as Catholics
now describe themselves as
'former Catholics. '"
Speaking at a press confer-
ence in Wellesley, Mazrimas
said that O'Malley has "ac-
knowledged that when you
suppress a parish, one-third
of the worshippers will go
to the welcoming parish,
one third will go somewhere
else and one third will stop
going altogether.
"Our figures show that we
lost 40 per cent of our wor-
shippers. Can the Catholic
Church simply write off one
third of those who partici-
pate?"

Ernie Lijoi's 18-Year Career Subject Of 'Street Business' Book
Former Quincy Detective Reveals ^Deep Cover' Secrets
By LAURA GRIFFIN
These days, Ernie Lijoi,
Sr. catches 20()-pound tar-
pons and 30- to 40-pound
groupers in the waters off
the Gulf Coast of Florida
and when he's not fishing,
he's writing his memoirs.
Such a tranquil life is a
far cry from his nearly two
decades as a detective with
the Quincy Police Depart-
ment, in those years, he took
on a new identity and set the
bait for mobsters and drug
dealers.
Lijoi worked with local,
state and federal agencies
to solve some major crimes
from the ]970"s to the late
I980's. He was "deep un-
dercover" in his early years
with the police department.
In fact, Lijoi, actually, be-
came "Eddie Pannoni," and
donned all the trappings of a
street thug and mobster.
And, yes, he did know
of Whitey Bulger and Steve
"The Rifleman" Flemmi
on Quincy Shore Drive
and Bulger's girlfriend in
Squantum. but those were
not among his major assign-
ments.
Major Targets
During his five years
deep undercover, he acted
the part of a scruffy bearded
hood.
In one instance, he tipped
off local police when a 58-
foot boat k)aded with some
5.(XK) pounds of drugs went
aground on a treacherous
below-water sandbar off
Quincy's coastline.
Lijoi worked with the
city, state and federal teams
that captured Mafia figures
and a serial killer and lo-
cated millions of dollars
in stolen bonds, drugs and
weapons.
In the largest operation in
the late 1970's, the project
trapped over "100 different
people" running a drug net-
work that spanned two con-
tinents "from New Hamp-
shire to Columbia."
DEEP UNDERCOVER COP Ernie Lijoi, Sr. (left) adopted the
identity of "Eddie Pannoni*M right), an underworld street thug,
while working for the Quincy Police Department. Lijoi wrote
about those years in a trilogy beginning with "Street Business"
which will be in bookstores this month.
The major targets were
crime bosses and drug lords,
not the small time dealers.
"You don't stop the flow
by picking up the little peo-
ple," Lijoi said, adding there
are always plenty of new re-
cruits willing to do the leg-
work for the small jobs.
Lijoi is spilling the de-
tails in a trilogy he is writ-
ing with Larry Matthews,
reporter for National Public
Radio.
The series begins with
a 238-page thriller, "Street
Business" which describes
not only his police work, but
the effects of such danger-
ous work on his family.
'^Street Business,"
available on the internet and
in local and national book-
stores, fictionalizes some of
the events.
Family Sacrifice
This first book focuses
on his work and his family.
"My family functioned
around my career. Ihis is my
way of telling our story and
how the families of all po-
lice officers live. They wait
and worry at home while we
work to support justice."
During a telephone in-
terview from Florida, Lijoi
said that the names and ad-
dresses have been changed
in the book to protect the
innocent, "If I were to say
who they were, they could
be killed."
Lijoi asked that we not
use the street where the drug
house was located in order
to protect the current resi-
dents.
However, he does expect
some of his Quincy col-
leagues to recognize them-
selves in the pages.
Quincy Officers
Lijoi s career in Quincy
began accidentally when he
was a transit cop and nabbed
a drug dealer on the Red
Line. He turned the case
over to Quincy police who
were impressed with his
background and knowledge.
Former Police Lt. Walter
Lynch asked if Lijoi would
transfer from the T Police
to Quincy for a 30-day tem-
porary assignment. Chief
Francis Finn headed the de-
partment at the time.
"That 30 days wound up
being 18 years," said Lijoi
who worked closely with
Lynch, former Chief Rob-
ert Crowley, then a captain.
Sgt. Angus McEachern and
the late Capt. David Row-
ell.
After he was hired, those
officers were the onlv ones
who knew of his police sta-
tus and Crowley received
his reports, said Lijoi.
Born and raised in Brook-
lyn, NY, Lijoi said that his
native dialect was a big plus
in impressing and being ac-
cepted by the local mobsters,
"My Brooklyn accent made
me very believable."
That accent was just
about all that was real about

Lijoi who courted danger
from both sides of the law
for some five years.
"You don't have >our
own name, no l.D. of your
real name You are only
your street name and street
person."
In thcjse days of deep un-
dercover, Lijoi would stay at
a Houghs Neck mob-house
for days at a time.
"This house was owned
by drug dealers and 1 spent a
lot of time there," said Lijoi
who'd call home on a pa\
phone. "I'd tell them I'm
calling a bookie."
Red Telephone
W hen he did head tou ard
his Dedham home, he'd take
different routes ever} time,
backtrack, and hide all trac-
es of his destination
Despite those efforts, the
mob role still penetrated his
home through a "red tele-
phone" which rang 24-hours
a da> with orders from drug
dealers or suppliers
"The deep undercover
1 onl> did for about hve
years." said Lijoi who said
he's been on a hit list twice
"You just become too well
known You don't want to
get killed "
And the work not onl>
took Its toll on Lijoi. but
also on his famiK
"It was tough on the tam-
il> " Lijoi said, recalling the
time his )oung sons discov-
ered his work, "rhev would
have a lot of questions about
drugs. ■■

was too much

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
Palmucci To Host Drug Awareness
Forum For Parents April 29
Using Gasoline Demands Respect
Here's a subject that
most of us are familiar with
while my concern is that
our familiarity will exclude
respect for its use. the sub-
ject being gasoline. I am
prompted to write this ar-
ticle having read of an in-
cident involving a teen liv-
ing in Hanson. As the State
Fire Marshal conveys, "...a
group of juveniles were in a
local sandpit inappropriately
and unsafely experimenting
with gasoline." As a result,
one boy was bumed on 45^;^
of his body surface area and
is currently being treated at
a Boston hospital. The cir-
cumstances of the bum in-
jury are being investigated
further.
According to the Mass.
Burn Injury Reporting Sys-
tem, in 20()7.one third of all
victims of gasoline-related
burns are youths age 15 to
24. Nationally, teens aged
10 to 14 years old are the
most likely group to get in
trouble with gasoline and be
treated for gasoline related
burn injuries. The State Fire
Marshal believes as I do.
that our frequency of use to
power engines by gasoline
breeds familiarity, which
can lessen a healthy respect
for it. He therefore suggests
that parents should speak
with their children about
the care required to handle
gasoline, the how and when
to do so as well. My father
did so for me years ago,
and the lesson has remained
with me all these years. I'm
grateful for it.
While we're on the sub-
ject, the Marshal conveys
that there has been a recent
increase in the number of
incidents in which motor
fuel; gasoline in particular,
has been dispensed into un-
approved or illegal contain-
ers. Consequently I'll share
here some of the regulations
included in the Common-
wealth's Comprehensive
Fire Safety Code.
One regulation prohibits
the sale or transfer of any
container for use in handling
or transporting flammable or
combustible liquids unless
that container meets one of
the following requirements:
it is built to DOT standards,
is approved by a nationally
recognized testing laborato-
ry, or approved by the State
Fire Marshal .
Another regulation pro-
hibits the dispensing of
gasoline into any container
not meeting the above re-
quirements. The maximum
container size is limited to
7 gallons and the total quan-
tity to 21 gallons per vehicle
without a permit. This sec-
tion also prohibits transpor-
tation of containers within
the passenger compartment
of a vehicle.
When filling an approved
gas container, always place
it on the ground, insert the
pump nozzle and bring it in
contact with the inside of the
container. This will reduce
the risk of static electricity
igniting the vapors.
Do not store gasoline
within a building used for
habitation. I've focused on
this issue in a prior article
where occupant safety de-
pends on it while it's of ma-
jor importance to respond-
ing firefighters if needed.
Gasoline vapors ignite
at a very low temperature.
Fumes are heavier than air
and can travel some distance
to potential ignition sources.
Therefore keep anything
that can provide heat to ig-
nite gasoline vapors well
away from fumes. A spark,
a lit cigarette, or a pilot light
is enough for fumes to flash.
A static spark created when
gasoline is IMPROPERLY
USED to clean a paintbrush
can ignite with devastating
consequences. Gasoline is
a tool, one frequently used,
while it demands respect!
Brian Palmucci, candi-
date for Ward 4 City Coun-
cil, will sponsor a commu-
nity-wide drug awareness
forum Wednesday. April 29
from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Mor-
risette Post, located at 8 1 -83
Liberty St.
Palmucci, a former As-
sistant District Attorney
and current state prosecutor,
said the goal of the event is
to inform parents on how to
recognize the signs that their
children are using drugs.
"Drug abuse and addic-
tion is a serious problem
that deserves our immedi-
ate attention," said Palmuc-
ci. "If elected to the City
Council I will use my law
enforcement experience to
fight the city's growing drug
problem."
"The residents of Ward
4 deserve a City Councilor
who will fight drug dealers
and stand up for our neigh-
borhoods."
The featured speaker at
the forum will be recently
retired Detective Lt. John
F. McDonough, who will
share his experiences from
the nearly four decades he
spent dealing with the city's
drug dealers and addicts.
Also participating in the
forum will be parents who
will discuss their experienc-
es with their drug addicted
children.
Information will be pro-
vided regarding the different
substance abuse treatment
options available and how
to go about arranging for
treatment of a loved one.
McDonough, who head-
ed the Quincy Police De-
partment's Drug Control
Unit before retiring last
month, will speak to parents
about such topics as how to
recognize the behaviors of a
teen drug user, or where to
turn if drug use is discov-
ered.
McDonough will offer
suggestions and advice for
parents on how to prevent
drug use.
"An informed parent is
just a better parent," said
McDonough. "There's no
secret here. Just be a good
parent, and everything else
takes care of itself."
All are invited and en-
couraged to attend the fo-
rum. For more information,
contact Brian Palmucci at
617-233-3802.
Senate OK's State Pension Reform Bill
The State Senate has ap-
proved a bill that will close
loopholes in current pension
laws for state workers to end
abuses and save taxpayers
money.
The state's pension sys-
tem is an important benefit
for state workers who chose
generally lower paying ca-
reers over the private sector.
"The average pension
for a public employee is
$24 .(XX) a year." said Sena-
tor Michael Morrissey.
"Of course, there are a
few examples of individuals
who have exploited loop-
holes to increase pension
payments at a high cost to

steps have been taken to ad-
dress those issues."
Here is what the Senate
bill does to close the loop-
holes:
• Redefines "regular
compensation" lO exclude
housing allowances, use of
motor vehicles and travel.
• Removes the "one day.
one year" provision that al-
lows elected officials to
claim an entire year of cred-
ible service for working one
day in a calendar year.
• Eliminates the ability
of municipal officials to re-
ceive pension credit for ser-
vice in an unpaid position.
• Reforms the current dis-
ability retirement benefit for
individuals who are injured
while temporarily filling in
for their supervisor and ob-
taining a higher pension or
benefit based on the salary
of the person whose job they
were filling.
• Removes a provision
that allows elected officials
to claim a "termination al-
lowance" based on the fail-
ure to be nominated or re-
elected.
• Reforms dual-service
pensions so that an indi-
vidual cannot combine the
compensation from two po-
sitions to artificially increase
one's pension. An individual
who was a member of two
or more systems will receive
benefits as if retiring sepa-
rately from each system.
One amendment would
prevent any local or state
employee as of Jan. 1 , 2010,
who makes less than $5, 000
a year from receiving any
pension credit and another,
filed by Morrissey, wt)uld
raise the vesting time for all
persons to 10 years.
The bill also directs the
Blue Ribbon Commission
of Pension Reform to review
broader changes and issues
within the system and make
comprehensive recommen-
dations to the Legislature by
Sept. 1.
The measure now goes
to the House of Representa-
tives for further action.

On Saturday, April 4, 2009, at approximately 6:10
a.m.. Officers James Parisi and Chuck Landry were
dispatched to Granite Street on a "911" breaking and
entering call in progress.
The caller stated that the a-
suspect was a man with a
knife. Enroute to the call,
the officers were noUfied
that the suspect was armed
with a box cutter and wore
a plaid jacket. As both offi-
cers approached the house,
the dispatcher, who was
still on the phone with the
caller, stated that the sus-
pect was now outside in
front of the house. Seconds
later, the two officers arrived on scene and spotted the
suspect and as they exited their cruisers, a female point-
ed and yelled, "That's him! That's him!"
The officers approached the suspect, who was on
the sidewalk behind a parked car. The suspect had an
unknown object in his hand, which was close to his
waistline. Both officers drew their guns and ordered the
suspect to drop what was in his hand, but he did not
heed their instructions. Officers Landry approached the
suspect from the side and repeated his command, but
the suspect did not comply. Officer Parisi ordered the
suspect to the ground, but the suspect said he wasn't
going to do that.
The suspect the stepped forward and placed a box
cutter and cell phone on the roof of the car in front of
him. Still unsure if the suspect had additional weapons,
the suspect was again ordered to the ground, but again
he refused. The officers then approached the suspect
and handcuffed him. As the officers conducted a pat
frisk, Officer Landry asked the suspect his name, and
his response was, "If they wanna (sic) press charges,
A Job Well Done
they can press charges." No other weapons were found on
the suspect.
Once the situation was under control. Officer Landry
interviewed the people standing outside the house while
Officer Parisi questioned the suspect. When asked why he
was there, the suspect said that he was going to work at La-
bor Ready on Hancock Street and that he was coming from
home, which was Father Bill's Place. The officer questioned
the suspect as to why he was clearly found in the wrong
direction, which resulted in the suspect stating that he was
coming from a friend's house down the street, but could not
identify the friend's name or where he/she lived.
The suspect was asked if he knew anyone in the house
across the street and he said that he knew a man from work-
ing with him at Labor Ready. Wlien asked what the people
inside were going to say about him being there, the suspect
said, "They would tell you that I broke into their house."
Officer Parisi asked why they would say that and it was
at this point that the suspect said he didn't want to incrimi-
nate himself, so questioning stopped. Officer Parisi then ex-
amined the exterior of the home where the break occurred.
He noted that there was a window screen on the side of the
house that was sliced and under this window was a blue hard
rubber storage bin. The bin was upside down so it could be
used as a step up to the window, which was unlocked. A
widow adjacent to this one also had the screen cut, but that
window was locked from the inside. Outside the widow was
a blue backpack that no one in the house knew who owned
it.
Officer Parisi interviewed the occupants of the apartment.
One female stated that she woke up to use the bathroom
and as she retumed to her bed, she saw a man in the living
room standing near the wall holding his hand over his face.
She asked the man who he was several times but he didn't
respond. She then saw the box cutter in the man's hand and
yelled as she stepped toward her bedroom, "Who are
you?" Without answering, or removing his hand from
his face, the man stepped toward her.
She began yelling for help as she backed up further.
The man looked in the bedroom and this was when one
of the males in the apartment chased the suspect out the
front door. The female victim was visibly shaken, re-
peating over and over how scared she was and how she
feared being harmed by him. Officer Parisi then inter-
viewed the male who chased the suspect out of the apart-
ment. He said that he was in bed sleeping when he heard
the yells for help-that someone was in the apartment. He
got up, spotted the suspect, who then ran out the front
door, down the hill toward the school.
While the female victim called the police, the male
victim searched briefly for the suspect. A total of four
witnesses provided similar accounts. WTien asked if they
knew the suspect, one resident said that he knew him
from work, but they were not friends and there was no
reason why he would be in their house. One female vic-
tim said that she met the suspect about three months ago
when she saw him in front of the house looking for cans.
She said she gave him some cans, but he had not seen
him since.
Based on the evidence, Officer Parisi arrested the
40-year old homeless man for "Home Invasion, Assault
by Means of a Dangerous Weapon and Malicious Dam-
age." The box cutter and blue backpack were taken as
evidence. Back at the station, a criminal record check
showed the suspect has a lengthy criminal record and is
listed as a Level 2 Sex Offender.
In summary, it was unknown how long the suspect
was in the house. The last people to go to bed were two
females at 4 a.m. It does not appear as if the suspect at-
tempted to steal or vandalize anything. According to
witnesses, he did not appear to be concerned when the
female victim spotted him and it was only after another
male confronted him that he fled. Nice work!

Beechwood Knoll School Students Go Green
By CHERIE DEWAR
Young children are small
and can't do much to help
the planet, right?
Quite to the contrary, as
proven at Beechwood Knoll
Elementary School (BKS).
In January, BKS's second
grade class began their
participation in National
Green Week ( :iiC»oii.-
;-|r:':a5rv?g)i^i;)r:). an idea
hatched by Victoria Waters,
founder of the Green Educa-
tion Foundation based out
of W'alpole. The program
aims to teach children that
their eco-friendly efforts
can make a difference in
combating the harms waste-
fulness can inflict on the
planet.
BKS kicked off their
program with a tally of
how many drink contain-
ers were thrown out over a
week-long period. Wheeling
their Green Machine among
the classrooms, the second
graders collected a whop-
ping 914 drink containers
from the whole school in
just one week.
The school explored
ways they could reduce that
amount, with the goal to
reduce that quantity signifi-
cantly by the end of March.
Did they succeed? Indeed!
The final tally taken on
March 29 came to 551 drink
containers for the whole
school. The second grade
class bested that by reduc-
ing their snack trash weight
87%! Onginally 186 con-
tainers weighing 16 pounds
were collected among the
three second grade class-
rooms, and this was reduced
to 61 containers weighing
only 2 pounds at the comple-
tion of the National Green
Week initiative.
Ihomas Natola orga-
nized the program with fel-
low second grade teachers
Gina Amaral and Debbie
DeAngelis.
Using educational DVD's
suggested by National
Green Week, short "Meet
the Greens" cartoons from
the PBS website, and daily
green questions posed to
the whole school generated
discussions among teachers
and students. One hundred
and fifty reusable shopping
bags were donated to the
school. Students earned a
bag to take home after writ-
ing down what environmen-
tally friendly action they
would take.
These ideas were posted
in the hallway and included,
■ril turn off the water when
1 brush my teeth." and. Til

when I color."
The project was financed
by Beechwood 's Par-
ent Teacher Organization,
along with a donation from
Ouinc>'s Volunteer Recy-
cling Committee. The sec-
ond grade's green-up efforts
were rewarded with green
kits purchased from the Na-
tional Green Week organiz-
ers. Reusable shopping bags

Home Inspection Helps Ensure Dream Deals Don't I\irn Into Nightmares
(ARA) - You found your
dream deal on a foreclosed
home, but will that great
price tag come with a dif-
ferent kind of higher cost?
Buying a repossessed prop-
erty, short sale or a home
offered at a bargain price
- because of its condition -
can mean you're assuming
much higher risks.
Repossessed and short
sale homes are often aban-
doned and neglected, leav-
ing them with much more
potential for unforeseen
structural defects, plumb-
ing, electrical, heating sys-
tems, environmental issues
and many other problems.
Fixing these woes can cost
far more than the financial
savings from a distressed
property purchase. There
also may be unknown de-
fects, such as mold or radon,
that could affect your fam-
ily's health and safety.
Still, it is possible to get
a dream deal on a distressed
home. Before you sign on
the dotted line, be sure to
have the house thoroughly
inspected by a professional,
so you can reduce these po-
tential risks as well as finan-
cial costs. A home inspector
can help you identify poten-
tial problems in the home
you're considering buying,
so you know in advance
what you're getting into ~
and what you should walk
away from.
There are many ways to
find a home inspector, in-
cluding consulting family,
friends, your attorney, real
estate professional or mort-
gage professional. You can
also find information on in-
spectors across the country
on www.ashi.org, the Web
site of The American Soci-
ety of Home Inspectors, the
organization that sets the
standards of practice for the
inspection industry.
Homebuyers aren't the
only ones who can benefit
from a home inspection. If
you're selling your home,
having it inspected before
you list it may help sell your
home in less time and for
more money. Moreover, ho-
meowners can benefit from
maintenance inspections,
such as an energy inspec-
tion, which can help reduce
monthly energy costs, and a
home safety inspection that
can help seniors stay in their
homes longer.
If you're thinking of hir-
ing a home inspector, ASHl
offers a few tips on how to
evaluate candidates:
* Visit the "Find a Home
Inspector" section of ASHI's
Web site to find a quali-
fied ASHI inspector in your
area. Many inspectors also
list their specialties and oth-
er background information,
such as their experience, on
this site.
* Ask the inspector how
he operates. What format
will the report be in? Ask for
sample reports.
* Talk with each candi-
date to see who is the best fit
for your needs and comfort.
as well as for the property
being inspected.
* Check all references.
Don't automatically go with
the lowest price. Remember,
the old adage is often true -
you get what you pay for.
* Attend the inspection to
ensure you get the best val-
ue - and most information
" for your investment.
A home inspector can be
your best ally in ensuring
your dream deal doesn't turn
into a nightmare. Visit www.
ashi.org and take the Virtual
Home Inspector Tour to see
and hear more about home
inspections.

Norfolk County Reg-
ister of Deeds William P.
O'Donnell has issued a re-
port on real estate acfivity
in Norfolk County for the
quarter ending March 3 1 .
Total dollar ^'olume of
real estate sales in Norfolk
County for the quarter pe-
riod from January to March,
2009 totaled $609 million.
A year-to-year comparison
to the quarter January to
March, 2008, shows this to-
tal value off 30.4 percent.
The total number of
2,641 deeds recorded during
the 2990 quarter was down
10.7 percent, indicating that
the market activity did not
decline as sharply as values.
The average sales price
of deeds over $ 1 ,000 (both
residential and commercial
properties) fell to $492,726,
a decline of 16.8 percent
from the corresponding
quarter in 2008.
"Although the Norfolk
County real estate mar-
ket continues to reflect the
problems that confront the
national real estate market,
the average price during the
just completed quarter was
off only a fraction of a per-
cent from the previous quar-
ter - October to December,
2008," O'Donnell said.
Mortgage recording ac-
tivity, buoyed by the drop
in interest rates, showed an
increase of 14.4% on a year-
to-year basis with 10,003
new mortgages being re-
corded in the quarter, al-
though total mortgage value
for the quarter stood at $5 .8
billion, off some 61% from
last year's quarter. This de-
cline is most likely the result
of fewer large commercial
mortgages going to record,"
O'Donnell said.
"It is important to note,"
he added, "that this total
mortgage value amount does
not necessarily represent the
true increase in indebted-
ness 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."
The Registry of Deeds,
649 High St., Dedham, is
the principal office for real
property in Norfolk County.

Spring
Switcheroo
With April here and winter
fast on its way out (and com-
pletely gone in some parts of
the country), it's time to set
up your home for the warmer
months. Spring cleaning can
be thought of as a three-stage
operation: cleaning up winter
damage, switching out cold-
weather protection for hot-
weather guards, and schedul-
ing additional do-it-yourself
projects through the next
couple of seasons.
Winter storms tend to
leave debris and damage on
and around a home's exte-
rior and yard. Start with a
walkaround inspection of the
roof and gutter system, re-
moving loose debris like tree
branches and noting areas
that need more attention, like
torn shingles and dammed- up
gutter sections. Climb down
and check out the house sid-
ing and foundation for cracks
or other damage. Inspect the
ground around the house to
make sure water isn't pooling
against the foundation and
that roots from nearby plants
aren't trying to take hold next
to the masonry.
Once you've noted repairs
and cleanup that need to be
done, schedule the time you
need to complete them . Clear-
ing fallen branches and other
stuff from the rooftop and
gutters are an early-spring
priority, while patching or
replacing that torn shingle
can probably wait for a hot,
sunny day (as long as there is
no leak undemeath it).
Now is the time to switch
out storm windows for
screens, and to throw open
the sash to allow fresh air in-
side your home. In the past,
spring was a time to switch
old linens and curtains for
new ones, and it's not a bad
tradition to follow — if only
to wash the curtains at least,
and get rid of accumulated
dust.
You'll also need to switch
the air filter in the heating
system, and to prep your air-
conditioner (whether whole-
house or window unit) for use
by cleaning or switching its
filter and giving it a test run.
Finally, in the garage,
swap those cold-weather sup-
plies — snow shovels, scrap-
ers and ice melt — for lawn
care and garden tools. Lightly
oil the edges of metal shovels
before storing upright.
HOME TIP: Sharpen
and lightly oil the metal parts
of garden tools before their
first springtime use; to store,
hang them vertically on a
storage rack or perforated
corkboard.

Make Your Home Friendly To Those With Asthma, Allergies
(ARA) - Asthma and al-
lergies strike nearly one in
four Americans, almost 60
million people, according
Dollars
and $en$e
by David Uffington
Start Your
Own Vegetable
Garden
All across the country,
families are planting vegeta-
ble gardens. For many it's a
way to cut the cost of fresh
vegetables. Others plan to
can the bounty and have
fresh food all winter long.
No matter where you live,
it's not too late to get started
on a garden of your own.
Getting started: If you're
new to gardening, it's best
to start with small seedlings.
Ask at your local nursery
about which vegetables do
better when started as young
plants as opposed to seeds.
Space requirements. Not
everyone has access to a
large growing space in the
backyard. Wooden boxes
on the patio or balcony can
hold tomato plants, bush
beans or a few rows of car-
rots. Investigate community
gardens where each per-
son is given a small square
of land to work. If the side
of your garage is the only
place that gets full sun, plant
there. (When planting near
a house, however, it's best
to have a soil test done to
be sure that lead from old
paint hasn't contaminated
the ground. Certain types of
vegetables will pull in more
to the Asthma and Allergy
Foundation of America. Both
conditions cause adults to
miss work, children to miss
lead than others. Better to be
safe and check in advance.)
Start with a small garden
area that won't overwhelm
you to tend.
What to plant: Keep it
simple and start with just
a few different types. Only
plant what you know your
family will eat. Don't ex-
periment and hope that
your children will suddenly
develop a taste for okra
just because they helped to
plant and harvest it. Food
that isn't eaten is food (and
your time and money) that is
wasted. If your family loves
green beans and carrots,
grow those.
Get advice: If a neighbor
has had a successful garden
year after year, that's your
best source of advice about
soil pH, the types of vegeta-
bles that grow best and what
pests to look out for.
Sharing the harvest: In-
vestigate ahead of time to
find soup kitchens in your

Allergies and asthma
don't only affect those suf-
fering from the illnesses, but
family members and loved
ones as well . So whether you
have asthma and allergies,
live with someone who docs
or have frequent asthmatic
or allergic visitors, how do
you make your home a safe
environment?
Eco-friendly practices
and environmentally sensi-
tive products can not only
help minimize the symp-
toms of allergies and asthma,
but also make your home
healthier in general for you
and your family.
The experts at the asthma
& allergy friendly Certifica-
tion Program offer some tips
on how to keep your home
healthy and free of allergens
and irritants:
Cleaning
People with asthma and
allergies often have "trig-
gers" that can set off a reac-
tion in the lungs, according
to the American Lung Asso-
ciation. Often those triggers
are particles carried in the
air. Other common triggers
include smoke, perfume and
products with heavy fra-
grances, dust mites, mold,
pollen and more. Look
for fragrance-free, natural
cleaning products that do
not contain toxic chemicals.
While more expensive
than a traditional vacuum
cleaner, a High-efficiency
Particulate Air (HEPA) vac-
uum contains a special filter
that traps very fine particles
and keeps them from get-
ting back into the air. While
HEPA vacuums can help
people breathe easier, it is
still very difficult to keep pet
dander, dust mites and other
triggers out of carpeting. So
for people with asthma and
allergies, carpeted floors are
not recommended.
Flooring
Solid surface floors
should be at the top of the
list for people with asthma
and allergies. Hardwood,
laminate and tile are all op-
tions, but the more natural a
flooring product is, the bet-
ter its health and hygienic
qualities tend to be. Mar-
moleum click, for example,
is made of natural linoleum
with a cork backing for a
warm and comfortable floor
that is also eco-friendly. The
flooring panels and squares
simply click together for an
easy, glueless installation so
there are no harmful chemi-
cals or coatings necessary.
The anti-static properties
of the materials repel dust
and dirt making it easy to
clean, reducing exposure to
allergens and contributing
to better indoor air qual-
ity. Marmoleum click is the
first flooring product to be
awarded the asthma & al-
lergy friendly certification
mark.
"The asthma & allergy
friendly certification mark
indicates that a product or
environment has been scien-
tifically tested in our global
network of state-of-the-art,
accredited laboratory fa-
cilities and has proven more
suitable for people with
asthma and related allergic
sensitivities," says Dr. John
McKeon, CEO of Allergy
Standards Limited.
Your home may have
cleaner air, but it doesn't
need to look sterile. Click
comes in 24 colors from
neutrals to brights and is
suitable for every room in
the house. For more infor-
mation visit themarmoleum-
store.com.
Bedding
The average bed is home
to millions of dust mites,
which feed off dead skin.
Breathing in dust mite waste
particles can trigger allergic
reactions and asthma at-
tacks. Dust mite covers for
mattresses and pillows pro-
vide a barrier to keep out the
microscopic critters. Organ-
ic cotton or bamboo bedding
is not only stylish and earth
friendly but is made without
chemicals that can irritate
airways.
Other factors
Whether you're trying to
make your home friendly for
people with asthma and al-
lergies or just generally try-
ing to improve your indoor
air quality, keep in mind
that the smallest things can
make a difference. Stuffed
children's toys can hold dust
mites and allergens. Bed-
ding, blankets, pillows, fur-
niture coverings and more
should be washed weekly in
hot water as an allergen con-
trol measure. Paints should
be nontoxic and zero-VOC
to prevent harmful off-gas-
sing.

safer for those with allergies

Tips To Help Women Keep Their Cool
(NAPS) - Making a few
lifestyle changes can help
millions of women prevent
or minimize the effects of
hot flashes.
Women may experi-
ence hot flashes for several
years, with some women
feeling just a little warmer
than usual on occasion and
others experiencing sev-
eral uncomfortable episodes
throughout the day and even
night sweats.
Here are a few steps you
can take to reduce them:
• Exercise at least 30
minutes a day.
• Dress in layers so it's
easy to cool yourself off.
• Try to pinpoint what
triggers hot flashes. For
some women it's coffee,
spicy foods or alcohol.
• Soy might help. Accord-
ing to The North American
Menopause Society, 40 to
80 mg of isoflavones daily
may help relieve symptoms.
• Be sure you get enough

BRIDGE TO
The fixed restoration called
a "dental bridge" is similar to
a highway bridge in that It is
supported by two abutments
on either side of the gap. In
between, a metal framewori<,
known as a "pontic," spans the
gap and holds one or more ar-
ttfidal teetti in place. When the
pontic can be supported only
at one end, a so-called "canti-
lever bridge" may be brought
into play A typical bridge of
this type, the 3-unit cantilever
bridge, is made of two abutment
crowns that are positioned side
by side on the same side of
the missing tooth space. The
pontic is then connected to the
two crowns, which support its
extension into the area of the
missing tooth.
Your appearance, dental
health, and the proper func-
tioning of your mouth are all
important fBasons for replacing

tal situation tienefit by having

sleep. If hot flashes are re-
ally uncomfortable and
nothing you do helps, talk to
your doctor.
"If hot flashes are severe
and interrupting your life
and you are not responding
to common remedies or life-
style changes such as diet
and exercise, then perhaps it
is time to discuss with your
physician prescription op-
tions such as low-dose es-
trogen therapies," says Dr.
James Simon, clinical pro-
fessor of obstetrics and gy-
necology at George Wash-
ington University.
Low-dose estrogen ther-
apies are recommended by
many experts in the fields
of gynecology and estro-
gen therapy, including The
North American Menopause
Society and The American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
"Most physicians recom-
mend that estrogen should
be prescribed in the lowest
effective dose and for the
shortest amount of time to
manage a patient's symp-
tom," Dr. Simon adds.
One of the newest ways
to deliver estrogen is a fast-
drying colorless gel that can
be applied to a woman's
upper arm or shoulder. One
low-dose, prescription-only
gel indicated for the treat-
ment of moderate-to-severe
flashes is called Elestrin.

By SEAN BRENNAN
Last week, with an im-
portant early-season Patriot
League game against Silver
Lake High School on tap, and
with the possibility of seeing
its record fall to 0-3 to start
the season, the Quincy Presi-
dents received a professional
performance from sopho-
more hurler Kori Sorensen
and pulled off a critical 3-0
league win at Mitchell-Mc-
Coy Field.
Sorensen. only a sopho-
more, shutdown a potent
Silver Lake offense; a team
that had entered the contest
averaging 17 runs a game
through its first three games
of the spring. The Quincy
star finished with a complete
game shutout. Sorensen held
the Lakers to four hits and
struck out II batters, walk-
ing only one.
Her first win on the mound
this year helped to stop a
two-game losing streak for
the Presidents. Quincy had
opened the year with a 4-2
loss to Stoughton and a 4-0
loss to Du.xbury.
Quincy 's offense gave
Sorensen the entire cushion
she would need when they
jumped out to a 2-0 lead in
the bottom of the first inning
against the Lakers' all-league
pitcher Katie Stanley (two
strikeouts, walk, four hits).
Senior Lisa Lam opened
the game by reaching on a
swinging bunt; junior Julia
Yee followed with a single
up the middle and both run-
ners moved into scoring
position on a delayed steal.
Lam would come around to
score on a RBI groundout by
junior Olivia Berry and Yee
scored on a bloop single by
junior Kylie Ko/.lowski.
Stanley would settle down
after the first frame. She al-
lowed a leadoff single to open
the second inning, but after
that, did not allow a Quincy
hitter to reach base until the
home half of the si.xth.
Silver Lake's Elizabeth
Murphy (3-for-3, two dou-
bles, single) roped a two-out
double in the first inning,
but Sorensen struck out the
next batter to leave Murphy
in scoring position. Sorensen
cruised through the second
inning (three strikeouts) and
battled through the third
(walk. K). but it was in the
pivotal fourth inning that her
star power came to the fore-
front.
Murphy started the innmg
off with a single, moving to
second on a fielding error.
After a strikeout, Sorensen
watched as two consecutive
Silver Lake hitters reached
base via errors. Facing a one-
out, bases loaded situation,
Sorensen bore down and re-
tired the next two batters on
strikeouts. Threat over.
"We haven't seen it all
year, it has been missing."
said Quincy head coach Mike
Sedar when asked about So-
rensen's pitching in the fourth
inning. "But the answer is it
is wonderful She can spot
the ball where she needs to
and she picked up real quick
on the hitters over there and
what they would chase.

"it is incredible that you
can call a pitch and she can
locate it. You can see in situ-
ations like that what a gamer
she is on the mound. She is a
bulldog."
Sedar was most impressed
with the way in which So-
rensen shutdown such a po-
tent offense and a team in
Silver Lake that he expects to
be in the running for Patriot
League supremacy come the
end of May.
"That is a tough ballclub
(Silver Lake). They are well-
coached and they have been
scoring a lot of runs." added
Sedar. "(Stanley) is a good
pitcher but we had been hit-
ting the ball well in our two
losses and we just couldn't
get any runs. We have been
getting the hits we just were
not getting them at the right
time. Today we did.
"Even though we are 1-2.
we are swinging the bats.
We are up at the plate hack-
ing and making teams make
plays. Our bunting has been
terrific. And base running has
been solid. I am very happ\
with the win because Siher
Lake is a great team. It was a
fun game."
Sorensen would wiggle
out of another jam in the top
of the si.xth. Murphy opened
the frame b) smacking a
ball halfway up the left field
fence for her second double
of the game, but Sorensen re-
tired the next three SL hitters
to close the door.
Soren.sen would later
score her team's third run
in the bottom of the six. She
reached on a walk, and made
it to third on a sacrifice and
passed ball. She scored on a
suicide squeeze by Berry.
"She was as good as
advertised." said SL head
coach Mike Brennan about
Quincy 's star pitcher. "Over-
powering, no. Even the kids
came back and said she threw
about machine speed, but she
can place it. She keeps you
off balance.
"Besides Elizabeth, no
one else could hit her and
we have been scoring runs at
a fast pace all season. After
they scored those two runs in
the first that was all Quincy
needed. They are a strong
team. I was impressed."
Notes: Quincy made it
two wins in a row with an
11-6 Patriot League victor)
over Whitman-Hanson on
April 9. Kylie Kozlowski
went 4-for-4 with three RBI
and Julia Yee finished 3-for-5
wit two RBI... The Presi-
dents currently have a 2-2
record (2-1 in league play)...

Quincy Earns First Patriot League Victory
Presidents Start Year At 2-2
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
have opened the 2(K)9 base-
ball seast)n heading in the
right direction.
The team started i)lT the
year with a 6-4 non-league
victory over Brighton High
Scln)ol (March 31); followed
that win by dropping its first
Patriot League game, 8-3. to
Silver Lake Regional High
School on April 8; Quincy
picked up its first league
win on April 9 versus Whit-
man-Hanson (6-2) and lost
Monday to Hingham. At 2-2
overall and 1-2 in the Patriot
League, Quincy has work to
do still, but first-year head
coach Tim Daley likes what
he sees so far from his Presi-
dents.
"We have been playing
OK," said Daley, 'Tf we can
eliminate some of the big
innings, pitching-wise, we
should be in good shape But
in our losses this year we
have given up chunks of runs
at a time.
"If we can continue to have
solid pitching performances
and produce some clutch hits
when needed, we should be
competitive in every game
the rest of the way."'
Quincy, which dropped
a league game to Hingham
on Monday, picked up their
first Patriot League victor\
with a 6-2 decision over
Whitman-Hanson on April
y Sophomore hurler Lucas
McDonough earned the win
on the hill for Quincy. Mc-
Donough went the distance
(seven innings), striking out
1 1 and allowing two earned
runs.
Junior second baseman
David Muollo finished the
game 2-for-2 with a run, and
junior catcher Leroy Wallace
reached base three times and
scored a run.
"Lucas pitched really well
and the offense got the hits
when we needed them most,"
said Daley. "It was a nice win
and was a nice way to re-
bound after losing earlier in
the week to Silver Lake."
In the game against Sil-
ver Lake, an .S-3 loss, junior
pitcher Kevin Keith tinished
with eight strikeouts. The
Presidents held a '^1 .ulvan
tagc gomg into the home halt
of the fifth inning, but the
Lakers produced a live run
tilth to take a 6-3 lead Silver
Lake would later lack on tut»
■iilditional runs.
"Kevin finished with those
eiL'ht strikeouts and we held a
3 1 lead late into the game."
added Daley. "But Sihei
Lake IS a good team and the)
got to us in the fifth inning.
We need to hnd a way to stop
those big offensive innings
by the opposition. In both of
our losses, we have given up
that one big inning."
Quincy is scheduled to
play against North Quincy
High School (6-1 overall)
today (Wednesday) at 6:30
p.m. at Adams Field. The jay-
vee game will be held at 3;30
p.m. at Adams Field and the
freshmen teams will square

Salome's
Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Professional relationships grow
stronger. But you might still
need to ease some problems with
someone in your personal life.
One way could be to try to be less
rigid in your views.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You might be too close to that
perplexing personal situation to
even attempt t(i make a rational
decision about it right now. Step-
ping back could help you gain a
wider perspective.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Being asked to chotise between
the positions of two friends is an
unfair imposition on you. Best to
reject the demand and insist they
try harder to work things out on
their own.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
A change of mind about a work-
place decision might be called for
once you hear more arguments,
pro and con. A personal event
suddenly takes an unexf)ected
(but pleasant!) turn.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Ro-
mance once again looms large
for single Leos and Leonas, with
Cupid favoring Taurus and Libra
to inspire those warm and fuzzy
Leonine feelings. Expect another
workplace change.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) A surprise gift -- and,
happily, with no strings attached
- could come just when you need
it to avoid a delay in getting your
project done. Expect education to
dominate the week.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Someone close to you
might ask for your support as she
or he faces a demanding personal
challenge. Offer it. by all means.
But be careful you don't neglect
your own needs at this time.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) An unexpected de-
velopment could put your rela-
tionship with a partner or spouse
to an emotionally demanding lest.
But your determination to get to
the truth should save the day.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 2 1 ) A recent agree-
ment appears to be coming apart
over the surfacing of unexpected
complications. You might need
to have expert advice on how to
resolve the situation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Your keen business
sense helps you get to the truth
about a suspicious business deal.
Expect to have many colleagues
rally to support your efforts in
this important matter.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Someone who once
moved in and out of your life
over the years might now want to
come back in on a more perma-
nent basis. Give yourself a lot of
time to weigh your decision.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Showing frustration over
a delayed workplace decision
might get someone's attention,
but not necessarily make him or
her move any scxiner. Best advice
would be to be patient and wait
it out.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are
drawn to excitement and enjoy
fast-tempo music, with the more
brass, the better.

'Thanks."
This is not a long word hard to pronounce,
but it is a word that some people find hard
to say. Also it is an inspiring little word that
can bring the sunshine out on a dark day if
we are willing to have it so. Thanks before
SCOTT DEWARE meaLs.Thanksgivinginourpravers.Thanks
to those who have done so much for us. Thanks for our families.
Thanks for our friends.
What a tragedy that the grace of gratitude is not as common as
it ought to be. Kind words of appreciation and encouragement to
each other by husband and wife could ''make their day." A child
brightens a weary mother's day with acknowledgement of her value
by a word, a hug or a kiss.
All of us are the recipients of countless deeds of kindness on
the part of those w ith whom we rub shoulders with every day, and
yet all they may receive from us are picky criticisms, when a word
well-spoken would completely change the service and the server. .
May we take this opportunity to say a 'Thank You" to all our
readers who have commented on the 'Thoughts" they have here.
Your comments have been and always will be most appreciated.

Deputy Chief Smyth Contends Fire Chief Process Not Legitimate
Cont d From Page I
Civil Service process in the
selection process for fire
chief," Smyth told The Sun
Tuesday. "I want to see this
administration follow the
Civil Service process and the
collective bargaining agree-
ment that has always been
followed in past administra-
tions which is following the
law and if you're informed
that you're violating the law,
to correct what you've done.
And they failed to do that.
"The reason I am fight-
ing this," Smyth continued,
"is that I am trying to protect
the integrity of the Civil Ser-
vice process for the entire
department."
The dispute began in
May, 2008, when Pettinelli
notified the city of his intent
to retire as of July 15 and
Barron was installed "to a
position then referred to by
the City as 'acting chief and
the search for a permanent
chief was on.
There were four names
on the Civil Service list —
Deputies George McGun-
agle, Jeffrey Starr and Smyth
and Capt. Paul Griffith —
and the Mayor was required
to select from the first three.
Smyth and McGunagle were
tied at the top.
On Sept. 19, the State
Human Resources Division
notified the City: "Please be
advised, no employee may
be performing the duties of
Fire Chief on an 'acting'
or provisional basis when a
current and eligible list ex-
ists. Currently there is an
eligible list of four names
for the ntle of Fire Chief,
Quincy Fire Department."
Subsequently, McGun-
agle declined the appoint-
ment, citing salary deficien-
cy. The Civil Service list
was down to three and still
in existence.
The Human Resources
Division once again re-
minded the city that "no
employee may be perform-
ing the duties of 'acting" or
'provisional' Fire Chief as
long as there was an active
eligible list for the position
of Fire Chief."
It was then that the pro-
cedure got murky.
Smyth said Starr was of-
fered the post of Fire Chief.
Koch said he wasn't, quot-
ing him as saying he would
turn it down if it were of-
fered. Smyth produced a let-
ter signed by Starr declining
the position.
The City said Starr was
never "selected" for ap-
pointment, only asked if he
would accept it. Smyth ar-
gued that Starr was "select-
ed" when he was asked if he
would accept the post.
Whatever, Starr's refusal
to accept the job left the city
with only two names on the
Civil Service list, a posi-
tion known as a "short list,"
which meant a new exam for
a new list. Smyth, Barron
and a fire captain took the
exam in March. The results
are expected around June 1 .
"The City," said the Com-
mission's ruling, "does not
contest that, effective July
1 5 , 2008 , and continuing un-
til Oct. 3 1 , 2008, it installed
and paid Deputy Chief Bar-
ron as 'Acting Chief of the
Fire Department.
"This was in violation of
the Civil Service law. No
employee may be perform-
ing the duties of Fire Chief
on an acting or provisional
basis when a current and ac-
tive eligible list exists.

QCU Branch Conting Soon to Columbian Strmot in Woymouth
"At that the, there was an
eligible list of four names
for the title of Fire Chief
of the Quincy Fire Depart-
ment. There is no provision
in the Civil Service law for
an 'acting' position."
Smyth claimed that, as
Senior Staff Deputy, he
should have been the one to
fill in as acting chief as he
had once before.
The Commission went
on to a further suggestion
for the city:
"Upon the establishment
of an eligibility list, we
urge the city to embark on
a transparent selection pro-
cess to ensure a sense of fair
play among all eligible can-
didates and the public.
"For positions that carry
far less responsibility than
Fire Chief, the Commis-
sion has taken note of such
exemplary screening and
selecting methods in other
Civil Service communities
that should be considered
here,, including, but not lim-
ited to:
• Use of an outside re-
view panel of current and/
or retired Fire Chiefs to con-
duct initial interviews and
make recommendations and
observations;
• Public final interviews
that are broadcast on the
local cable access channel
in which each candidate is
asked a similar set of ques-
tions by the Mayor and oth-
er members of his interview
panel .

Firefighters suit up, hit
the sirens and man the fire
engines in response to every
medical emergency in the
city at a high cost to taxpay-
ers and to the fire depart-
ment's $ 1 8.5 million budget,
according to city councillors
and Ernie Arienti, president
of the firefighters' union.
Those medical emergen-
cies, ranging from a broken
ankle to a heart attack, far

Groundbreaking for the
McGrath Highway phase
of the Quincy Center Con-
course will be held today
(Thursday) at 1:30 p.m. to
kick off construction of the
long-awaited road seen as
vital to revitalizing Quincy
Center, announces mayor
Tom Koch.
Preliminary work began
this week at the intersection
of Southern Artery (Route
3A) and McGrath Highway.
There are no detours, but
traffic will be reduced to
one lane in each direction on
portions of McGrath High-
way throughout the duration
of the project. There will be
no restrictions on Southern
Artery.
"I am proud that we are
finally able to get going on
this project, which is critical
as a transportation project to
ease traffic downtown and
to attract the kind of private
investment that will once
again make Quincy Center a
place of pride for our city,"
Koch said. "I am thankful
to all the people who have
worked tirelessly to get this
project going."
The full phase entails the
complete reconstruction of

McGrath Highway between

signals, bike lanes, new trees
and plantings and a median
strip. The first portion of the
scheduled 18-month project
will relocate utilities under-
ground.
The project will move
up McGrath Highway in
phases to minimize traffic
disruptions.
Police and the Quincy
Traffic Department will
monitor the project daily,
and will make changes as
needed to ensure traffic
flows as smoothly as pos-
sible, officials said.
Residents with questions
or concerns about the proj-
ect can call 617-376-1902
for more information.
The $4.3 million project,
awarded to J. Derenzo Co.,
will mark one of the first
tangible signs of construc-
tion for the long-anticipated
roadway and one of the first
major gears in a $1 billion
plan to redevelop Quincy
Center.
The project is being paid
for by a $2 million state
Public Works and Econom-
ic Development grant and
through the city's existing
district Improvement Fi-
nancing program.
The McGrath Highway
reconstruction will set the
stage for the key portion of
the road, where it crosses
Hancock Street and creates
the full East- West connec-
tion through Quincy Center
first envisioned more than
30 years ago. After cross-
ing Hancock Street, the road
will connect with the exist-
ing Paul Harold Bridge and
Burgin Parkway.
The Hancock Street por-
tion of the project will also
move forward this spring
with scheduled demolition
work to make way for the
road work.

Mayor Thomas Koch and
his Wind Energy Ordinance
have filed the first legisla-
tion that will make it pos-
sible for Quincy to locate
and regulate wind turbines
in the city.
The Mayor's committee
worked on the wind-power
ordinance to be added to
the City's zoning code for
several months, and it was
formally presented to the
City Council at its meeting
on Tuesday night. A public
hearing will be scheduled in
the near future.
"This legislation is an
important first step toward
harnessing the potential of
wind power in Quincy, and
I am thankful to all of the
committee members who
put in countless hours work-
ing on this ordinance," Koch
said. "This is the first step,
but it is an important one."
The ordinance sets out
rules for the construction of
any turbine in Quincy, and
prohibits them in all resi-
dential districts. It makes
the Planning Board the pri-
mary permit authority to
administer rules about loca-
tion, size, sound, and other
potential issues surrounding
wind power.

Firefighters' Union
Files Grievance On
Ladder 2 Manning
Ladder 2 is back in regu-
lar service at the WoUaston
fire station but the equip-
ment is still controversial.
Acting Chief Joseph Bar-
ron restored full ladder ser-
vice at Wollaston last week
after firefighters and city
councillors criticized his de-
cision to pull the truck, peri-
odically, to save overtime.
Now, Ernie Arienti ,
president of the firefighters'
union, has filed a grievance,
charging that Barron put the
ladder back in service with-
out adequate manpower in
violation of the union con-
tract.
"We have minimum man-
ning requirements on certain
pieces of equipment," Ari-
enti said, adding that four
men are required on Ladder
2, due to the complexity of
the equipment.
Barron ordered that Lad-
der 2 be staffed with three
firefighters when the depart-
ment's manpower falls be-
low 38.
The department's other
two ladders do operate with
three firefighters, but Lad-
der 2 presents added diffi-
culties.
In late February, Barron
placed Ladder 2 on tempo-
rary service or a "brown-
out" in an effort to preserve

Some High Paws For The Quincy Animal Shelter
This column's a real dog.
But it's the cat's meow, too.
I mean this story has legs and it's quite a tail - er, tale.
Actually, this week's space salutes the hard-working,
under-the-radar group of dedicated volunteers who for
the past 10 years have helped place approximately 5,000
homeless dogs and cats from the Quincy Animal Shelter on
Broad Street into caring homes. Before there was a shelter,
IcKal stray dogs and cats had little or no hope for a second
chance.
A decade later, that's all changed thanks to the volunteers
who not only care for shelter's residents but also help raise
over $ I (X) ,000 a year to support their labor of love.
Without city, state or federal funding, the shelter relies on
bake sales, car washes, holiday dances and other fundrais-
ing opportunities to support its efforts.
When the shelter first opened its door, two local vets be-
gan volunteering their services. And the volunteers came
and so did the animals.
"Our first adoptions were gratifying," says Shelter Di-
rector Sandra Morse. "We learned, we watched how other
shelters did things and some of us took courses and even
got paying jobs in the animals care field just so we could do
our volunteer jobs better. We were dedicated and we worked
hard and loved it."
Because of that commitment, animals that may have been
euthanized before the shelter opened in August 1999 had a
new "leash on life." Nearly 300 animals were adopted that
first year. The number has swelled to approximately 500
(400 cats and 100 dogs) annually over the past six years.
"Ten years ago there was no adoption program in Quincy
but people could come in and pay a small fee and get a dog."
Morse recalled in an interview from the shelter. "There was
no hope for cats. But when we opened, we had a base of
about 30 volunteers who cared for the animals seven days
a week."
Today, there are 100 volunteers and no salaries associat-
ed with the shelter. Volunteers commit to a minimum of two
hours a week; some put in as many as 25 hours a week.
"We have grown over the last 10 years with the help of
the animal control officers, Don Conboy and Bruce DiBel-
la," Morse says. "We are a no-kill shelter. We exercise the
same care that you would with your own pet. If the animal
were injured or chronically ill or a risk to the public with a
behavioral problem that couldn't be fixed, then those ani-
mals are euthanized. Luckily that's only about one percent
of our population and we're very proud of that."
The shelter can safely house 13 dogs and about 25 cats.
There is also a foster care program which houses an addi-
tional 100 animals - mostly kittens - at any given time.
Morse says people considering pet adoption should be
prepared for the emotional and financial commitment.
"That's different things to different people. It doesn't
necessarily cost a lot of money to have an animal but it re-
ally depends on what you're adopfing and what your own
circumstances are. We like to say that because we are a no-
kill shelter, we have rescued animals that may have had a
fate far worse than this. We want to make sure people are
ready and committed to take the animal home and give it a
great home and not impulse shop. You just have to be com-
mitted to giving a good home to an animal."
Finding good homes has been even more challenging
with the economy mired in recession.

"A lot of people because of the economy are being forced
to relinquish their pets for one reason or another," Morse
says. "People are being forced to give up pets because of
housing issues, because they can't afford to feed an animal,
or because they can't afford the vet care. It's very sad. We've
had people drop their pet off here and then they go across
the street to Father Bill's Place. It's very heart-breaking."
But Morse remains upbeat because people are still com-
ing in to adopt. "What we're happy about is that we haven't
seen a drop because an animal is another mouth to feed."
Of course some adoptions stand out more than others.
Like Snuffy.
"We took in a very small black fluffy dog which liter-
ally had three paws in the grave," Morse recalls. "He was a
Malti-Poo and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth. We
knew he was old. A vet said he had a heart condition and a
kidney condition. But he was a happy dog. He didn't look
like much ... but it would have been cruel to keep a dog that
old in a shelter."
Morse took the dog home for about four weeks but the
dog didn't stop barking. "A lot of people thought the kindest
thing to do would be to euthanize him because the chances
of finding him a home were slim and leaving him at the
shelter would have been cruel."
Then, as it often does at the shelter, fate intervened.
Morse brought the dog to an adoption day and a family
came in who had heard about Snuffy. They adopted him and
gave the dog the best 14 months of its life.
Snuffy recently passed away.
" I always say with the older animals, they're not here
for a long time, they're just here for a good time. He had
the best 14 months because he was clearly not well cared
for prior to that. They got him groomed, he had his own
wardrobe - all of his clothes were embroidered. They are
just wonderful people and they were very sad that he died
but they were all so very happy that they had him.
"Things like this happen a lot," Morse says. "Sometimes
just when we're going to give up hope, somebody walks in
and says T'll take that.'"
Morse also addressed a few misconcepfions about shel-
ters. For one, the shelter receives plenty of purebred animals.
The animals are not sick nor do they lack good behavior.
"We've had fabulous animals come into this shelter and
we always have a really good variety," she says.
Morse also talked about the reputation of pit-bulls.
"This city produces a lot of pit-bulls. The ones we get
into the shelter are nice dogs. They are family pets. They do
hold a higher level of responsibility but they are wonderful
dogs."
The most important thing Morse wants residents to know
is simply that the shelter exists.
"We want people to know we are here. We've been here
for 10 years and we still have people coming in saying 'we
didn't know you were here; how long have you been here?'
"We want people to know we service the city of Quincy.
We take in animals from Quincy residents and we are here
for the people, too. We do help people when their pets are
lost, if they are having problems with a pet they already
have. We refer people. We are involved with a low-cost
spay/neuter clinic so there are a lot of services that people
just aren't aware of. We would like to have people just come
down and visit and tell their friends and when they're ready
to consider adopting an animal."
The shelter located at 56 Broad St. is open Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The adoption fee for dogs is $90 to $250, depending on age,
breed and medical history of the dog. For adult cats, the fee
is $100; kittens are $125 each or $200 for two
Every animal receives the appropriate vaccinations and,
if old enough, is spayed or neutered before finding her or his
new family. Younger animals are adopted with a pre-paid
spay /neuter certificate.
For more information about the adoption process and
other services the shelter provides, visit the shelter's web-
site at www.quincyanimalshelter.org.
Below are profiles of some shelter resi-
dents who need good homes.
CHIEF: 4-year-old neutered male cat.
He is a super friendly and affectionate cat
who demands attention. He is suitable in a
home as a single cat; someone who doesn't
work many long hours. He may get along
with another cat or with a dog but that's
unsure. He is nice, he has a lot of personal-
ity. He's been in the shelter for almost a year.
DUNCAN: 5-year-old neutered male; very friendly. He
was surrendered to the shelter by someone who couldn't
afford to care for him. Very playful and
affectionate. "He's fresh," Morse says.
"He gets along with other cats but he is
definitely a trouble maker but gets along
with them just fine." He's been a shelter
resident since last December.
DAISY and PRINCESS - 7-year-old
siblings, surrendered because their owner
became ill and could not care for them.

CHIEF
condition which will probably shorten her
life but doesn't require any medical treat-
ment at this time.
FELICITY - a one-year-old spayed
female kitty. The mother of four kittens
that were left at the shelter. She's a really
friendly kitty, curious, and has a lot of kit-
ten left in her. She would be a good fam-
ily cat, very good with
children.
GARTH - a one-year-old neutered
male, a beautiful orange tiger kitty. He
was a stray cat. Like most orange tigers,
he is a very lovable and charming boy. He
is very loyal and very affecfionate. He's
been at the shelter for two weeks.
KITTY: 10-year-old female who came
to the shelter after her owner died about
three and a half months
ago. Kitty is special because she is a breast
cancer survivor. The vet removed a mass
and she's doing very well. She's an older
kitty, and a little bit on the frightened side
but once she gets in a home, she'll warm
up. She would be great for an older per-
son or a single person in a quiet home.
BELLE: five year-old spayed female
who was given up because she didn't get
I along with another cat in the household.
Completely healthy and most of the time
she is affectionate but she definitely plays
by her own rules. She's not a lap cat -
wants to be on her own who likes to be
I with you but on her terms. Would do well
in a quiet house; should not be placed with
' children. A resident since last October.
ASHLEY: two-year-old female cat
who was left outside the shelter in a carrier
two weeks ago. She appears to be healthy
and she'll be available for adoption soon.
Like all of the animals, she will be up-
to-date on her shots; she'll be spayed and
microchipped. She's extremely playful.
SNOWY: 6-year-old poodle mix who
was given up by her owner. Super friend-
ly little dog. He is shy at times but warms
up right away. He's the type of dog who
would be great for an older person; he's
pretty easy going given his age. He had
some medical issues when he arrived at
the shelter - mostly eye and ear infec-
tions- but they are being resolved so he
should fine and available for adoption in
a week or so.
JENNIFER: 2-year-old pit bull , found
in North Quincy, completely bald. She
was suffering from a very treatable skin
infection. Her skin has grown back and
she is a very friendly dog. Not sure how well she would get
along with other dogs. She's very affec-
tionate, knows some obedience and does
not like cats and most other dogs. She
needs to go to a home with older children
and no pets. She loves people and is very
active - she'll need someone who will get

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1927 postcard view of the old Quincy Ad-
ams railroad depot that was at the corner of Liberty
and Water Streets in South Quincy. The Water Street
grade crossing can be seen on the right. The depot was
on the outbound or west side of the tracks. Built in
1870 of Quincy granite, it had a slate roof and an eight-
foot canopy on all four sides. The top floor served as a
boarding house. This depot was the main shipping and
receiving point for the South Quincy granite manufac-
turing industry. With an adjacent freight yard and a
large crane it served dozens of stone cutting businesses
in the Quincy Adams area for over 60 years. But, up
until the 1930s, after years of citizens' complaints of its
danger. Water Street remained the last railroad grade
crossing in Quincy. This was partly because the depot
was in the way of a new bridge that would have had
to be built over the tracks. Then, in 1936, the railroad
finally agreed to eliminate the grade crossing. The depot
was demolished and the bridge that is there today was
built. And now the railroad's freight business is long
gone and this depot site is in the northbound lanes of
the Burgin Parkway. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail

THE HISTORY CHiWL
• On April 23, 1564. ac
cording to tradition, the great
English dramatist and poet
William Shakespeare is born
in Stratford-on-Avon. It is
impossible to be certain of
the exact day, but church re-
cords show that Shakespeare
was baptized on April 26, and
three days was a customary
amount of time to wait before
baptizing a newborn.
• On April 26, 1865. John
Wilkes Booth, who assassi-
nated President Abraham Lin-
coln 12 days earlier, is killed
when Union soldiers track
him down to a Virginia farm.
The original plan involved a
simultaneous assassination of
Lincoln, Vice President An-
drew Johnson and Secretary
of State William Seward.
• On April 22, 1889. at
precisely high noon, thou-
sands of would-be settlers
make a mad dash into the
newly opened Oklahoma Ter-
ritory to claim cheap land. All
told, from 50,000 to 60.000
settlers entered the territory
that day. Towns like Norman,
Oklahoma City, Kingfisher
and Guthrie sprang into being
almost overnight.
• On April 24, 1916, on
Easter Monday in Dublin,
the Irish Republican Brother-
hood, a secret organization
of Irish nationalists led by
Patrick Pearse, launches the
so-called Easter Rebellion, an
armed uprising against British
rule. Rioters attacked British
provincial government head-
quarters across Dublin and
seized the Irish capital's Gen-
eral Post Office
• On April 21, 1956.
"Heartbreak Hold" hits the
top of the Billboard charts.
The song was Elvis' first No.
1 hit. In his lifetime, he earned
94 gold singles and more than
40 gold LPs.
• On April 20, 1980, the
Castro regime announces
that all Cubans wishing to
emigrate to the U.S. are free
to board boats at the port
of Mariel west of Havana,
launching the Mariel Boatlift.
In all, 125,000 Cubans fled
to U.S. shores in about 1,700
boats, creating large waves of
refugees that overwhelmed
the U.S. Coast guard.
• On April 25, 1995. ac
tress Ginger Rogers dies at the
age of 83. Best known for the
10 films she made with dance
partner Fred Astaire, Rogers
also apjjcared in a wide va-
riety of comic and dramatic
roles and won an Oscar for
Best Actress in the 1940 dra-
ma "Kitty Foyle."

A Big Thank You To The Y
I'd like to take this op-
portunity to thank "All" of
the staff and members of the
South Shore Y MCA!
Thank you for your kind-
ness, caring and motivating
personalities. It is my opin-
ion that if everyone, every-
where in the world shared
the attitudes that are abun-
dantly shared at the South
Shore YMCA. the world
would be a better place to
live!
I've been a member of
the "Y" since November
2009. My family and I value
our membership and experi-
ence here! It is like a home
away from home for me.
My typical day begins with
me taking my two daughters
to schcM>l and then off to the
"Y" I go! There are days
that I spend more time at
the "Y" than anywhere else!
You can "always" count on
me socializing with staff,
members, visitors and even
with da>care students. .Al-
ua)s welcoming, greeting
and motivating as ucll as
being motivated by each
groups.
Everyday at the "Y" is
a new and beautiful experi-
ence. On April 1. 2CK)9 my
two daughters (ages 12 and
13) participated in our first
"Strong Kids Campaign
Phonathaon." It was a very
valuable and learning expe-
rience for us! We had a won-
derful time' I felt compelled
to share my experience with
others.
Maybe you have thought.
"What can I do at the "Y".'"
There are many valuable
and wonderful volunteer
opportunities (regardless of
your physical limitations, as
I am legally disabled )
The "Y" IS helping ti> re-
store my life in more than
one way!

Valentine's Love A Gift
That Keeps On Giving
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Valentine's Day is long
over, but love is a gift that
keeps on giving and, for
Maryrose Mirick, love is
contagious and, sometimes,
so surprising.
For Mirick, her love
story inspired local jeweler
Steven Leigh to give her a
diamond-studded wedding
ring set to replace the rings
she'd given away at Christ-
mas
The latest story began
with The Quincy Sun's Val-
entine issue. In her story,
Mirick said great love is
manifested in so many dif-
ferent ways, not necessar-
ily through chocolates and
flowers.
Mirick told how she's
had more than 25 years of
happy living because of a
special gift of love: Her sis-
ter gave her a kidney in the
early 1980's.
After the transplant op-
eration, she and her hus-
band became parents of
two daughters. Mirick. also
went to college and taught
in Quincy.
Mirick said that, last
Christmas, she'd given her
two daughters her wedding
rings because she wanted to
share her joy.
"My husband Wayne of
35 years was fine with it,"
Mirick said at the time.
Her story caught Leigh's
attention. He said he'd read
Mirick's Valentine story and
knew Maryrose through her
work with the Quincy busi-

the story.
Leigh decided to give her

Leigh offered an estimate
of several thousand dollars

philosophy of starting each

the Wabanaki tribes, such as
Katahdin and Kineo. Most
of those with Native Ameri-
cans names got them from
nearby rivers and lakes,
which the Wabanakis named
as they were the part of their

ership can not be measured
by htnv long your legs are.""
Emily stated in her speech
before hundreds of students
and teachers "Leadership
is measured within every
single one of us, and it is up
to ourselves if we want to
EMILY HAJJAR
share it with others."
As a student leader at

Bellotti Trims Services
In Fiscal Emergency
The Norfolk County
Sheriff's ofhce has phased
out a number of public safe-
ty programs and Sheriff Mi-
chael Bellotti blames a fiscal
emergency.
"1 hate to bring them to
an end but this hscal emer-
gency leaves us no choice."
said Bellotti. "Literally tens
of thousands of people have
benefited from these pro-
grams over the last decade."
Most of the programs are
aimed at protecting ytning-
sters and senior citizens.
Bellotti said a sharp de-
crease in the operating bud-
get for the Norfolk County
Correctional Center left him
no choice but to cut commu-
nity programs. A safe and
secure center will never be
compromised, he said.
Some of the programs
phased out or assigned to
another agency include:
• "Are You OK
in
which officer place daily
phone calls to elderly people
who live alone to check t)n
their well-being. More than
and the day and after school

niors with public safety and

munities and has distributed

to the medications a person

mate labor to work for cities

who supervised them while
they were out had to be re-
deployed.

formula that depends large-
ly on revenue from the real

As a result of the slump-
ing real estate market, deeds

Bellotti and other sheriffs

INSIDE GREAT HALL at the Massachusetts State House during Teen Lobby Day sponsored
by the state Alliance on Teen Pregnancy are (from left) Janice Walsh, coordinator of the Quincy
Teen Mothers Program; Katie McCarthy, Heather Harraden, Nicole Viera; Leslie Bridson,
teacher; Kelly Davidson, intern; and Marjorie Engel, guidance counsellor.
The United Union of
Roofers, Waterproofers and
Allied Workers Local 33 an-
nounce their endorsement of
Jay Davis Ward 4 city coun-
cillor City of Quincy.
The union also set the
record straight regarding an
erroneous endorsement an-
nouncement from Brian Pal-
mucci , another candidate for
Ward 4 councillor. "Roofers'
Local 33 supports Jay Davis
and not Brian Palmucci for
Ward 4 City Councillor, al-
though an announcement
made by the Palmucci cam-
paign last week stated the
opposite.
"Roofers' Local 33 did
mistakenly send a contri-
bution check to Palmucci 's
campaign and this act was
misconstrued as an official
endorsement. Having be-
come aware of the error.
Roofers' Local 33 asked
the campaign to return the
check and Palmucci with-
drew the endorsement an-
nouncement.
"We support Jay Davis
for Quincy City Council.
Jay has been an advocate
for working families his en-
tire career and has always
fought for us, even in the
difficult times we are now
up against," said Paul Bick-
ford, Business Manager for
Roofers' Local 33. "Facing
such economic uncertainty,
we must make sure we elect
the candidate who puts our
interests and the interests of
all working families first.
Jay Davis is that candidate
and we will be working hard
to ensure his re-election."
The United Union of
Roofers. Waterproofers and
Allied Workers Local 33 is
a labor union representing
800 workers from Massa-
chusetts.
"I am enormously proud
to have received the en-
dorsement of the work-
ing men and women of the
Roofers' Union Local 33,"
Davis said. "In both my
public and private life, I
have always strived to pro-
mote working family val-
ues. If re-elected, I will con-
tinue to fight to ensure that
all workers earn fair wages
with benefits packages that
respect the workers' quality
of life. It is more important
now than ever before that
working families are not left
behind."

Applicant Says Proposed Dance School Misinterpreted Ps VChlfttriC E VdlUHtlOIl
McNamee To Hold May 6
Meeting On Baby Dolls Studio
In WoUaston Slaying
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee will hold a com-
munity meeting at 7 p.m.,
Wednesday, May 6, to dis-
cuss the proposed use of 37
Billings Rd. by the Boston
Baby Dolls dance studio.
The meeting will be held
in the cafeteria at North
Quincy High School and
the applicant, Alex New-
man, is expected to address
residents, and local business
owners, and answer ques-
tions.
McNamee has charged
that the proposed business
will negatively impact the
fragile Norfolk Downs busi-
ness area by "creating a
Combat 2^ne in an immi-
grant neighborhood."
"Essentially, this is a
strippers' academy," Mc-
Namee said Monday, charg-
ing that the applicant has
reversed direction over the
past seven months in order
to win approval by the Zon-
ing Board of Appeals.
The Appeals Board will
revisit the issue on Tuesday,
May 19 at 7:15 p.m.in coun-
cil chambers at City Hall.
McNamee said the owner
originally provided a "total-
ly different" focus when he,
originally, presented plans
for a vacant Billings Street
studio. "There was a greater
emphasis on exotic danc-
ing."
The Zoning Board of
Appeals must find that the
new use is "not substantially
more detrimental" to the
neighborhood than the for-
BRIAN McNAMEE
mer use.
Since November when
the company first applied
for a permit, its focus has
changed, according to Mc-
Namee. He said this week
that the company no longer
touts a major commitment
to teaching burlesque and
exotic dancing, but now
focuses on the more pedes-
trian, and non-controversial,
dancing classes of tap. ballet
and Irish Step.
McNamee called the
switch, "a strange metamor-
phosis."
The proposed dance stu-
dio would fill space formeriy
leased by Body Fit, a fitness
studio, on Billings Road,
Norfolk Downs where there
are some large vacant rent-
als available side by side
with several dozen thriving
retailers.
The business area has
long-standing retail busi-
nesses ranging from a jew-
eler's shop, a well known
seafood establishment, a
florist, a cleaners, Irish pub,
barbershop and hairdresser.

restaurants, hair and nail
salons, as well as legal and
business offices.
The area's Hancock Street
neighbors include a tattoo
parlor and body-piercing
shop which McNamee said
weren't approved "while 1
was councillor."
In addition, the area
boasts the 85-car municipal
Vine Street parking lot and
Newman said the handy
parking and T transportation
were among the attractions
of Billings Street.
"We're opening a dance
school," said Newman,
stating the company is The
Billings Street Dance Stu-
dio which will offer classes
in ballet, Irish Step, swing
dancing and Middle Eastern
dancing.
Newman and his part-
ner, Abigail Weiner, both of
Dorchester, will operate the
business.
Newman regrets that his
new business has been mis-
interpreted, "What has hap-
pened here (is that) every-
thing I touch is associated
with burlesque. This is a
new undertaking for us."
In an effort to raise mon-
ey for the Quincy operation,
Newman is advertising a
fundraiser on the web. Stars
at the fundraiser will include
a real belly dancer com-
plete with snake as well as
a dancer who calls herself,
"The SI utcracker Teaser."
"We're not going away,
but we are running out of
money and we're throw-
ing a party to restore our
war chest to see this thing
through."
Newman claims he's al-
ready spent $10,000 in his

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
Pull Over For Emergency Vehicles
Here's a topic worth re-
viewing. With cell phone
use so prevalent while indi-
viduals drive, the distraction
can impede emergency ve-
hicle response and on road
safety. Congestion on the
roadways impacts the even
greater need for adherence
to the rules of the road as
they pertain to emergency
vehicle response. Mean-
while we hope that the em-
pathy and consideration of
roadway travelers will pre-
vail while others are in need
of emergency care when
emergency vehicles must ar-
rive at an incident promptly
and safely.
A deputy chief ap-
proached me . aski ng w hether
I'd be willmg to write some-
thing on the proper response
for the public when they are
approached in their vehicle
by an emergency vehicle.
Like myself, the deputy has
been with this Fire Depart-
ment for 31 years, and he
has apparently noticed an in-
creased failure of the public
to respond properly to on-
coming emergency vehicles.
So I submit here, for all of
us. a little RMV-IOl review
of what the law requires of
the public when approached
by an emergency vehicle.
Mass. General Law-
Chapter 89. Section 7A
states: "Upon the approach
of any fire apparatus, police
vehicle, ambulance or disas-
ter vehicle which is going to
a fire or responding to a call ,
alarm or emergency situa-
tion, every person driving a
vehicle on a way shall im-
mediately drive said vehicle
as far as possible toward
the right-hand curb or side
of said way and shall keep
the same at a standstill until
such fire apparatus, police
vehicle ambulance or disas-
ter vehicle has passed."
There's a thought process
in the fire service that we're
not doing anyone any good
if we cannot arrive at a scene
safely ourselves, prepared to
take control of an emergency
situation Getting to a scene
in a timely and safe manner
IS a priorit). With the appar-
ent increase in the amount
of traffic on the roads to-
day, doing so has become a
greater challenge.
Included in that law. is
that portion which states:
" No person shall drive a
vehicle within 300 feet of
any fire apparatus going to
a fire or responding to an
alarm..." While following
behind a piece of apparatus.
you don't know where it is
going or when it will stop.
The officer takes deliberate
care in placing the appara-
tus strategically at a scene.
Personnel are disembarking
while focusing on sizing up
the situation and obtaining
needed equipment. That law
is in effect and that space is
designated to assure their
safety at that scene. Once
again, if the personnel can-
not approach that scene
safely, the whole purpose of
our response, to help others,
is threatened.
Kindly adhere to the
letter of the law when ap-
proached by an emergency
vehicle and following that
vehicle once it passes. It
is our earnest intention to
respond and offer quality
care and attention at an in-
cident and time can often
be a determining factor in
success or failure. We need
your cooperation in allow-
ing us to do our job safely
and quickly as well. Pull
over and allow the vehicles
to pass by safely. Adhere
to that designated distance.
Someone's life may depend
t)n your cooperation!
Meanwhile drive safely,
and I hope this review is
helpful.
Project Bread Names Quincy
Among Top 'Generous Cities'
Project Bread, sponsors
of the annual Walk for Hun-
ger, has nominated Quincy
as one of the top 1 0 "most
generous cities" in the fight
against hunger.
Residents of the city
contributed nearly $65,000
in last year's Walk and hope
to increase that number
Sunday. May 3. when the
perambulators hit the streets
in 2009.
"I love the exhilaration
of walking all 20 miles and
knowing I am putting food
on the tables of the most
needy citizens." said Kirstin
Badowki of Quincy. who
has been walking the walk
for five years.
In all. Project Bread
gave $309,550 in 2008 to
71 area food programs and
$417,622 to these and other
hunger prevention programs
in southeastern Mas.sachu-
setts.
"The need is even greater
than ever and this year every
dollar, every mile, and ev-
ery volunteer hour counts."
said Ellen Parker, executive
director of Project Bread.
"Registration is now
open to participate and we
urge our Walkers to under-
stand that no contribution is
too small.
"The magic of the Walk
is that everyone's contribu-
tion adds up to a significant
amount of help for people
struggling throughout the
year ahead."

A Job Well Done
On Monday, April 1 3 , at approximately 4:30 p.m.. Of-
ficer Bruce Trieu was walking the beat in Quincy Square
when he was approached by a
citizen in the area of Hancock
Street and Cliveden Street,
who pointed to the bus stop
in front of Angelina's pizza and
stated that there is a large male
screaming at a female.
Officer Trieu walked to
the area, where another citi-
zen stated, "There is a drunk
guy by the bus stop in front of
Angelina's pizza calling peo-
ple n*&'^%$". As Officer
Trieu neared, Quincy Police
dispatch gave out a call that
a female was calling for help at the same location. She
said that a man was screaming at her. The officer located
the female, who was visibly upset. She provided a de-
scription of the suspect, adding that he was walking to-
ward Granite Street and after leaving her, started harass-
ing someone else.
As Officer Trieu tried to catch up to the suspect,
dispatch came over the air stating that they have re-
ceived four 911 calls for a fight on Granite Street near
Hancock Street.
Officer Trieu ran toward the intersection and found a
large crowd gathering on the comer, with people pointing
down Granite Street. One witness said, "Officer, the guy
in the leather jacket is chasing the guy in green. The guy in
green is trying to get away to avoid a fight". The officer
turned the comer and immediately recognized the suspect
as someone who he had placed into protective custody
for intoxication just a few days earlier. The suspect was
chasing the victim in the green shirt. Officer Trieu ran
over and yelled at the suspect to stop, which he did, but
then walked towards the Officer in a very agitated state
and a very aggressive manner.
The Officer ordered the suspect to stop, turn around
and put his hands behind his back. The suspect slowed,
then screamed obscenities and waved his fists in the air in
a threatening manner.
Concerned for his safety. Officer Trieu removed his ba-
ton from the holster which stopped the suspect. Officer's
Matt Patton and Mike Duran arrived on scene and assist-
ed in handcuffing the suspect, who struggled, screaming
at the top of his lungs and spitting in the Officer's faces.
The suspect was clearly inebriated and had a half empty
bottle of whiskey in his pocket.
Officer Trieu then interviewed the victim with the
green T-shirt and learned that the suspect, unknown to
him, started chasing and threatening him for no reason.
He stated he was not hit and did not want to pursue any
charges. The officer then questioned the female victim
caller, who said that she did not know the suspect. She
said, "He just came out of nowhere and started scream-
ing at me - I'm going to cut you up and stab you" several
times, then followed her as she was trying to walk away.
When she realized he was following her and kept saying,
"I'm going to stab you", she ran into a store and called
"911 "
She said that once she went into the business, the sus-
pect found a new victim and started to chase him. This
victim said that she was not hurt and does not want to
press charges.
The suspect, a 48-year-old homeless person, well
known to the Quincy Police, was charged with "Disorder-
ly Conduct" and transported to the station. Officer Duran
transported the suspect, who continuously kicked the door
of the cruiser and spit everywhere in the cruiser.
The panel between the prisoner compartment and the
front was covered with spit. The suspect was addition-
ally charged with "Wanton Destruction of Property
over $250.00."
Nice Work!

PIATTrS GIFT SHOP at Quincy Medical Center recently marked its grand opening with a rib-
bon cutting ceremony. On hand were (from left to right): Roger Johnston, Dean Rizzo, Executive
Director, Quincy 2000 Collaborative; Gary Gibbons, MD, President and CEO, Quincy Medical
Center; Kellie Johnston, Patty Johnston, Owner, Piatti's Gift Shop; and Mayor Thomas Koch.
PATTY JOHNSTON left a 25-year career in the oil/HVAC industry to open Piatti's (iift Shop
at Quincy Medical Center. The shop is open seven days a week and offers a wide array of mer-
chandise from lottery tickets to one-of-a-kind jewelry and pottery.
Piatti's Gift Shop Opens At QMC
At a time when most
people would be a bit skit-
tish about embarking on
new entrepreneurial enter-
prises, Quincy resident Pat-
ty Johnston decided to take
the plunge, changing careers
to open a new gift shop at
Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) called Piatti's Gifts.
Piatti's, which opened
for business last month, held
its grand opening April 15,
kicked off by a ribbon cut-
ting ceremony with Quincy
Mayor Thomas Koch, QMC
President and CEO Gary
Gibbons, MD, and Dean
Rizzo, Executive Director
of Quincy 2000 Collabora-
tive.
The shop is located near
QMC's main entrance and
lobby. Its inventory runs the
gamut from every day items
like lottery tickets, candy,
cards and lovely flower ar-
rangements to the more
unexpected, such as one-
of-a-kind jewelry by Bella-
soro and unique handcrafted
pottery created by Surfside
Studio.
"I named the shop Piatti's
as a play on my name and
the Italian word for dishes,
it's kind of a different and
fun name and that's how I
want my customers to expe-
rience the shop," says John-
ston, who knows the hospital
well having delivered one of
her two children, Roger and
Kellie, there.
When Johnston heard
that the QMC's former gift
shop had closed last winter,
she decided the time was
right for her to make the
change from her 25 -year
career in the oil and HVAC
industry to open the new
shop.
"It was time. This is
something I've always
wanted to do, so I decided
I would seize the opportu-
nity," she says. "I've had
a chance to talk with a lot
of staff and hear what they
would like to see available
at the shop.
"So far, 1 have had a great
response from everyone
who comes in. People really
seem to like the variety of
the merchandise."
Piatti's Gift Shop is open
Monday through Friday, 9

Safe Gutter
Cleaning
Last week, we learned about
clearing debris from the rooftop
and noting damage to be taken
care of. This week, let's go into
more detail about the gutter
system -- a critical component
of a healthy roof and a healthy
house.
Gutter dams — buildups of
leaves, twigs, nests and other
debris in one or more spots
along a gutter run - can cause
a lot of damage to the gutter,
and left unchecked, can cause
problems in other parts of the
house. For example, water spill-
ing over the top of a gutter or
through a torn gutter seam can
cause leaks or cracks in the
foundation directly beneath that
spot, in a much shorter time that
one can imagine.
So inspecting and cleaning
the gutter system twice a year -
spring and fall — is important.
You can do some of this inspec-
tion from the rooftop, but for a
more thorough look, set up a
ladder (with a helper on the
ground to brace the ladder and
to take notes for you) and move
along the run.
To clean the gutters, wear
sturdy work gloves and carry
a couple of tools in your belt ~
particularly a long screwdriver
or sturdy rod to break up stub-
bom dams. Once these debris
piles are loosened up with a
long tool (which also scares off
any critters that might be nest-
ing in said debris pile), grab the
debris and throw them down to
the ground.
Once all these dams are
cleared away, take the garden
hose up with you, set it at the
highest end of the run, and have
your helf)er turn the water on
full force. The water will wash
remaining leaves and debris to
the top of the downspout, where
they will pile up on the down-
spout screen - from which you
can remove them. The water
flow also will reveal leaks in
the gutter system that can be
patched up after the cleaning is
complete.
Most leaks appear at the
seams where sections of the
gutter run meet up. (This is also
where most dams tend to build
up, as there is a little lip at the
seam on which debris can get
caught.) Loose seams can be
reconnected fairly quickly by
drilling a new hole through the
upf)er side of the gutter sections
where they overlap, and insert-
ing a screw and washer (with
the head inside the gutter and
the screw protruding outside it),
tightening with a wingnut.
Gutter sections with rips or
holes in the middle, rather than
the seams, should be replaced if
possible. If a hole is not too big,
however, it can be patched us-
ing a gutter patch kit.
HOME TIP: Newer gutter
systems sometimes come with,
or have available, patching or
replacement kits. Check with
the gutter manufacturer or at a
home-improvement store.

Home Need A Design Stimulus Plan?
ARA) - These days bail-
outs are common, but not
many Americans have con-
sidered it for their home
design. Does lifeless and
cluttered design leave your
home in need of a make-
over?
Lifestyle and design ex-
pert Susie Coelho is out
to change all of that with
a sweeping Home Design
Stimulus Plan that offers
immediate and effective
relief for homeowners to
boost their surroundings,
both inside and out, without
busting their budgets.
"Homeowners have been
clamoring for widespread re-
form both inside and outside
of the home," says Coelho,
who has provided guidance
and support to homeown-
ers for years with her best-
selling books and HGTV
makeover shows Surprise
Gardener and Outer Spaces.
"This plan will refresh any
home design."
The five key components
to Coelho's Home Design
Stimulus Plan are as fol-
lows:
1 . Provide immediate
relief to family and living

rooms with the removal of
excess furniture.
Provide relief to living
and family rooms that have
been over-taxed by excess
furniture and accessories.
Space is the basis for con-
temporary design and this
look can be achieved by
trimming down. Stimulate
and breathe new life into
rooms by cutting back on
anything that has become
a liability instead of an as-
set. Remove that extra wing
back chair, the torn ottoman,
those pillows that swallow
up the sofa, and maybe even
that old carpet so that you
can actually see some floor.
2. Cut back on spending
with the addition of only
inexpensive or handmade
decorative pieces.
Fool guests by creating
pieces of art for little or no
money. Look for branches
that can be put in a vase, a
painting from a garage sale
or flea market, a beautiful
fabric piece, or even a great
piece of wallpaper that can
be framed. Find large pieces
that make big statements.
Light the art from the bot-
tom with a small spotlight
that can be tucked behind
the piece. Let the art be the
star of the room.
3. Infuse natural light
into the home for an imme-
diate morale (and energy ef-
ficient) boost.
Bring natural light into
the home simply and af-
fordably, and watch spirits
increase as the energy bills
decrease. Windows are a
piece of art and can be used
to showcase an outdoor
Reverse
Mortgage Topic
Ed Barrett, a reverse
mortgage specialist, will
discuss his specialty on the
first and third Wednesdays
of the month at 1 p.m. at the
Council on Aging office, 83
Saratoga St., North Quincy.
Reverse mortgage is a

eral government that allows
seniors to convert a portion

tree or plant and create that
seamless look between the
indoors and the outdoors -
but they must be clean. Ac-
cording to a recent survey,
almost half of homeowners
(48 percent) would rather
clean the toilet or shower
than their outdoor windows.
For many that may be be-
cause of the time and effort
that goes into the chore, but
it can be simple and the re-
sults can be dramatic. I rec-
ommend using a new quick,
easy and affordable solution
for a streak-free shine in
half the time - the Windex
Outdoor All-in-One Glass
Cleaning Tool.
4. Give outdoor areas
some incentives by taking
the best of interior design
outside.
Bring change to your
home by styling the outdoor
spaces using simple indoor
techniques. Add an outdoor
rug to soften the patio floor;
bring in a side table as a fo-
cal point or even an outdoor
leather ottoman. Elevate the
planter to the status it mer-
its by placing it on a table
instead of the ground. Add
some decorative pillows
to make the outdoor furni-
ture more inviting. If in the
market for furniture, choose
those pieces that have the
flexibility to be used either
indoors or out.
5. Bailout your back-
yard!
No backyard challenge is
insurmountable with these
helpful hints for bringing
quick relief to the outdoor
areas. No place to plant?
Go vertical in your garden
with trellises, walls, arbors
and planters. Use ivy, ficas,
bougainvillea, night bloom-
ing jasmine, gardenias, and
other fragrant species to
stimulate the senses. Small
spaces? Give the illusion of
space by using a mirror to
reflect and open up areas,
adding an entirely new di-
mension.
With these easy tips, the
indoor and outdoor spaces
will look fabulous in no
time. Next on the to-do list:
find an excuse for a party to
show off the beautifully re-
freshed home.

Four Ways To Add 'Wow!' To Your Kitchen
(ARA) - As you start
to build your new home,
or remodel an older house
into the comfortable and
elegant retreat you've been
dreaming about, one of the
main rooms to consider will
be the look, feel and use of
your kitchen.
Let's face it. No matter
where you try to entertain
in your home, guests always
end up in the kitchen. The
kitchen is the lica ' and soui
of any home and 'he- main
congregating p mjU for fami-
lies and frier 1 Whether
yiiu are en;, eis or
parents with children run-
ning through the house, the
kitchen is your homes cen-
ter for enterlaming, gath-
ering, coniniunicaiing and
cooking.
When de : .g your
dream kitchen, here are
some ideas you can work in
to create the 'wow" factor:
I . Plan around your cook-
ing style.
How you and other cooks
in your household use the
work triangle - the area
between the sink, the stove
and your refrigerator - will
help you determine the ideal
layout. If you entertain a lot,
consider adding an extra
sink for food preparation,
on a side counter or a center
island. This will allow you
more flexibility as you whirl
around concocting marvel-
ous meals and snacks - es-
pecially if you have more
than one chef in the kitchen.
2. Design your cabinets
with function and style and
make a statement with your
finishes.
Custom cabinetry is a
perfect way to show off
your style and implement a
custom dc'.ign v\hiit maxi-
mizing your kitchen > >pace
for socializing, cooking, and
storage. Cabinets by Graber
crafts and builds vvood cus-
tom cabinets using only ihe
finest hardwoods available,
matching wood grains on all
pieces for consistency and
color, fhe companv will
personally measure your
Npace to make sure the final
product fits exactly the way
you want it to - customized
to within 1/16 of an inch -
taking responsibility off you
and your contractor.
Wood cabinets and coun-
tertops from Cabinets by
Graber also can include ar-
chitectural wood carvings
for all styles, creating the de-
tails you need for the "wow"
factor in your kitchen. Visit
w w w .cabi netsby graber.com
for ideas on how to make
your new or remodeled
kitchen a beautiful room.
3. Include space for the
luxury appliances.
What would your dream
kitchen be without that in-
door grill, built-in espresso
machine or wine cooler
tucked into an alcove? As
you plan your kitchen, re-
member that custom cabinet
makers can design around
your appliance needs. Keep
in mind traffic patterns
through the kitchen space
and the frequency you will
use such appliances.
4. Light it up
If you have a gorgeous
kitchen, you need to illu-
minate it so everyone can
admire the work, style and
craftsmanship. Consider
installing recessed canned
lights or a simple chandelier
or pendent lamp over the is-
land. Built-in cabinet light-
ing and under cabinet light-
ing adds drama to the space
and highlights areas like
your countertops or special
dishes.

(NAPS) - Reading a
lawn mower's manual prob-
abl> isn't at the top of the
av^^ragc consumer's priorit>
lists -but it should be.
Unsafe operation of lawn
mowers leads to thousands
of accidents each year.man>
resulting in serious or fatal
injuries to adults and even
young children. Yet most of
these accidents can be pre-
vented.
"If you turn on a mower
without knowing how to
operate it properly, you're
sacrificing your safety and
the safety of those around
you," said Rod Benson, en-
gineering services manager
for Exmark, a mower manu-
facturer.
Mower safety guidelines
are in owner's manuals and
at exmark.com/safetytips.
htm. Here are a few of the
key safety considerations:
1) Before mowing, clear
the area of rocks, sticks, toys
or other debris that can eas-
ily be picked up by mower
blades and thrown through
the discharge chute, causing
injury.
2. Leave all power safety
features in phue such as
"uards. shields, deflcclor"^;
and warning decals to pro-
tect operators and others
nearby.
3 . Do not mow when chil-
dren are near. It takes only
a fraction of a second for a
child to run into a mower's
path. Prevent injury by su-
pervising children and pets
inside the home while some-
one is mowing.
4. Extra care should be
taken on hills, which can
cause a loss of traction.
Movements should be de-
liberate and steady, with no
sudden changes in speed or
direction. Hills with slopes
greater than 15 degrees
should always be avoided.
5. Use only a walk-be-
hind mower or hand-trim-
mer near retaining walls,
drop-offs or water. A riding
mower wheel could slip
over the edge, or the ground
could give way, causing the
mower to roll over.

Dollars
and sense
by David Uffirigton
Your
Credit Score
With lending dollars
tight, it's more important
than ever to make sure your
credit scores are as high as
they can be.
A newly updated book,
"Your Credit Score, Your
Money and What's at
Stake" (FT Press) walks you
through everything you need
to know about the three-dig-
it number that shapes your
financial future. Written by
Liz Pulliam Weston, per-
sonal finance columnist for
MSN Money, "Your Credit
Score" is a valuable refer-
ence.
Here are some facts the
book points out:
- It is punishing the way
a credit score can drop over
something small. The drop
in your credit number seems
mammoth in comparison to
a "little" error, such as mak-
ing a late payment. Worse,
the better your credit, the
more a small glitch will
count against you.
- If you use a large per-
centage of available credit
on one card, it will count
against you. One solution
is to move the debt between
multiple cards, thus giving
you a smaller balance on
each card.
- Having bad credit costs
you money over the long
haul. Bach time you appl^
toraloan.vou won't qualil)
for s.H)od interest rate-.. \our
(iisui :.iK ■ i .einiums wili l'o
lip. a> its thought (b> m
suiers; that those with lou
scores will file more claims
- It's imporiant to check
your credit report on a regu-
lar basis and go over it care-
fully. You're entitled to one
free report per year (in cer
tain states its two per year.)
Dispute inaccurate informa-
tion, including the spelling
of your name, wrong ad-
dresses or Social Security
numbers, and inquiries you
didn't authorize.
- If you don't use an old
card, don't close the account.
It can hurt your credit score
because it appears that your
credit history is newer than
it really is.
- Most helpful is the
book's chapter on coping
with a credit crisis. Whether
it's a mountain of debt or a
job loss, the chapter outlines
the steps to take to get back
on your feet.
The book also covers
in detail what to do when
you're a victim of idenfity
theft and how to prevent
it, how to raise your credit
score in only a few months,
fighting back against lend-
ers who want to change your
credit limits or your interest
rates, and how your credit
score is determined.

questions, but will incorporate
them into his column whenever

4-Run Sixth Puts NQ Over the Top
Red Raiders Upend
Presidents, 6-5
By SEAN BRENNAN
Sammi Bonanni and the
North Quincy Red Raiders
had to sweat out a seventh
inning rally by the Quincy
Presidents, but in the end.
North escaped with a huge
6-5 upset win at Mitchell-
McCoy Field on April 1 5.
North, which broke open
a 2-2 game with a four-run
sixth inning against Quincy
ace pitcher Kori Sorensen,
picked up its second win of
the season with clutch hit-
ting and solid defense. But
it was the workman-like
performance by Bonanni
on the hill that propelled
the Red Raiders to victory.
Bonanni (seven innings, six
strikeouts, four hits) battled
Sorensen pitch-for-pitch and
besides the seventh inning
hiccup, she kept the potent
Presidents lineup in check.
"It was excellent." said
NQ head coach Kerry Gint}
about her teams perfor-
mance against Quincy '"We
weren't afraid of her (So-
rensen). We had practiced a
Ion on just getting our hands
through the ball and \vt)rk-

ing against speed and it re-
ally paid off.
"Our team defense is our
strength and we played real-
ly well today. We have been
playing real well all season
and it came together in this
game "
Ginty was also impressed
with the way her junior hurl-
er handled the pressure of
closing out Quincy and go-
ing up against a great pitcher
like Sorensen.
"It was a little hairy (the
bottom of the seventh), but
1 think it was just nerves,"'
added Ginty about the pitch-
ing performance of Bonnani .
"It vsas the Hrsl time v\e had
been in a situation like that
all year. But she stepped up.
She has been solid for us all
year; she is a fighter and she
loves the competition.
"She knows she can
throw strikes because of the
team defense behind her. It
was a big win and hopefully
it gives us some confidence
moving forward. Our record
does not indicate how good
of a team we have so it was
good to get the monkey off
our backs."
The scoring began ear-
ly in the game as Quincy
jumped out to a 1-0 first
inning lead. Leadoff hitter
Elisa Lam tripled and scored
on a RBI groundout by Ju-
lia Yee. but Bonanni settled
down and retired Sorensen
on a groundout. walked Ol-
ivia Berry and closed the in-
ning out with a strikeout of

Ihe Raiders evened the
game at 1 - 1 the very next in-
ning. With two outs, senior

base and came around to
sct)re on a two out base hit
from Bonanni.

out that set off a serious
North Quincy celebration.
"We played lousy and de-
served what we got tonight,
every bit of it," said frus-
trated Quincy head coach
Mike Sedar. "We didn't play
defense, we didn't hit. We
didn't deserve to win."
For North Quincy and
especially the Red Raiders
senior class, the victory over
their city rivals and a team
in Quincy that is considered
one of the best in the Patriot
League, was hard earned
and worthy of celebration.
"We pulled together after
starting the season a little
shaky," said senior cap-
tain Brittany Folkins who
played exceptional defense
at shortstop all game. "We
had a great practice leading
up to this game, working on
our hitting and infield de-
fense. This win means a lot
to us. They are a great team
but they came in like they
were going to beat us, but
we showed them that we are
also a very good team."
Round two between
North Quincy and Quincy
is scheduled for May 19 at
Mitchell-McCoy Field.
Notes: North Quincy
upped its overall record to
3-3 with an 8-3 win over

Presidents Top Red Raiders, 4-2
Quincy 's Kevin Keith Dazzles On The Hill
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
took to the diamond at Ad-
ams Field last Wednesday
night looking to slow down
the red-hot North Quincy
Red Raiders and behind the
lights-out pitching of junior
Kevin Keith, the Presidents
handed the Raiders only
their second loss of the sea-
son, 4-2.
Keith was masterful. He
limited North Quincy to
just three hits, striking out
eleven batters. He took a
no-hit bid to within seven
outs of completion, finally
allowing a two-out fifth in-
ning hit to NQ senior Matt
Jay. But even after Keith
lost the no-hitter, he finished
the game strong and helped
Quincy pick up its third win
of the spring and the team's
second Patriot League win
of the year (Quincy was
shutout last Friday, 10-0, by
Pembroke High School and
the team record now stands
at 3-3 overall, 2-3 in Patriot
League action).
"Even after he lost the
no-hitter he's so focused and
he competes at a high-level.
BASEBALL
Quincy - 4
North Quincy - 2
I wasn't worried about that
rattling him," said Quincy
coach Tim Daley about
Keith's performance on the
mound. "What's even more
impressive is that's a very
good hitting team. They are
very disciplined and he did a
good job containing him."
The Presidents jumped
out to an early 1-0 first in-
ning lead against Red Raid-
er junior Keith Morreale (3
1/3 innings, four runs) as
Quincy junior Colin Mc-
Carthy singled to lead-off
the game. McCarthy would
reach third base and came
around to score the game's
first run on a delayed steal .
With Keith dealing,
Quincy extended its lead to
2-0 in the second and to 4-0
by the end of four frames. In
the second inning, sopho-

walked, stole second base
and came all-the-way-
around to score on a RBI

later, in the fourth, Quincy
drove Morreale from the
game. Seniors Sean Gray

six batters who drew walks

and McCarthy delivered
both runners home with a
clutch two-run single.
NQ senior Ben Leahy

Keith . facing Jay, struck him
out but the pitch scooted to
the backstop. Jay, hustling
all the way down the first-
base line, drew an errant
throw that ended up in foul
territory. The error advanced
Jay into scoring position and
he would go to third on a
groundout and later scored
North's first run on another
groundout. The score at the

Tips for Building Healthier Habits
(ARA) - Between jug-
gling work, soccer practice,
ballet and household chores,
taking the time to build
healthier habits can be a
seemingly daunting task for
moms. But a new survey re-
veals a startling misconcep-
tion. Despite the fact that
it's generally agreed upon
that it takes just three to six
weeks to form a new habit.
the overwhelming majority
of respondents think it takes
six months or longer.
"1 want to educate moms
and their families about how
easy it can be to form new,
healthy habits." says Bob
Greene, founder of the Best
Life program. "For example,
the simple act of swapping a
sugared beverage for water
is an easy change that can
shave calories and add up
to big results over time. Re-
place one typical 12 ounce
sugared beverage daily with
water and cut 3,650 tea-
spoons of sugar a year from
your diet - that's 38 pounds
of sugar a year."
To help empower fami-
lies to take it one step at a
time. Bob Greene and Nestle

ter joined forces to launch

Challenge at www.purelife-

DENTIST AS PERSONAL TRAINER
If you exercise regularly and lem. Proper brushing and
adhere to a healthy diet, your
dentist can be as valuable to
you as your personal trainer
and nutritionist. That is, the
dentist can play a significant
role in helping patients lead
longer, healthier lives. Ac-
cording to at least one study,
oral health may be a marker
for longevity. The study par-
ticipants were divided into
three groups: those with good
natural teeth, those who wore
dentures, and those with poor
dental health. After ten years,
it was found that people with
good teeth (whether natural or
artificial) were more indepen-
dent and functioned at a higher
level than their peers with poor
teeth. They also lived longer
and enjoyed better social rela-
tionships and happier moods.
We provide dental services
for every type of dental prob-
flossing, a healthy diet, regu-
lar professional cleanings,
checkups, and x-rays, can all
help ensure many years of
oral health. Please call 617-
479-6220 to schedule an ap-
pointment. We're located at
44 Greenleaf Street, where we
offer dental care for the entire
family with an emphasis on pre-
ventive care. Let us show you
how to properly care for your
teeth. We offer the services
of anesthesiology with a fully
trained and qualified anesthe-
siologist. Visit us on the web
at www.quincydentist.com.
P.S. During the course of
the 10-year study of people
between ages 70 and 75
mentioned above, only 33%
of the people with good teeth
died during the study while
48% of the people with poor
teeth died
four key areas: eat right,
drink right, get active and
get green.
Following are a few sim-
ple steps that families can
take to acquire new healthy
habits.
Drink Right.
* Put a water bottle in
your kid's bag before they
head off to practice or a
game.
* If your family drinks
whole milk now, switch
gradually, first to 2 percent
and then to 1 percent.
* Before your workout,
drink 8 ounces of water.
Eat Right:
*Plan your meal menus
in advance so you know
what's coming.
* Set a kitchen curfew
and close your kitchen after
dinner.
Get Green.
* Keep your recycling
bin in a prominent place to
keep it top of mind through-
out the week.
* Stop catalogs you don't
read and don't want.
* Recycle or compost any
yard waste and clippings.
Get Active.
* Make your goals quan-
tifiable (e.g., walk 1 mile
three times this week).
* Schedule some off days
or easy days into your regu-
lar workout routine.
* Exercise with a partner
or a neighborhood group.
Now through Sept. 30,
families can check out oth-
er dps and small steps to
achieving a healthier life-
style by taking the Pure Life

Do Rusty Nails
Cause Lockjaw?
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Please talk about lockjaw. I
grew up on a farm, and it was
something I heard about all
the time. You were supposed
to be careful when you were in
a barn to spot any rusty nails
you might step on. Is that so?
I don't hear much about it
anymore. Why? - LS.
ANSWER: I heard the rusty
nail/lockjaw story as a kid too,
and I didn't grow up on a farm.
Frankly it's a seldom-seen ill-
ness since routine immuniza-
tion against it has been in effect
for many years. The real name
of kx'kjaw is tetanus, and just
at)out everyone has gotten a
tetanus immunization.
The tetanus bacterium,
Clostridium tetani. is found
throughout the world in soil
and in animal feces. A number
of cases develop after a punc-
ture wound when the bacterium
is introduced deep into tissues.
Rusty nails are only one way
the germ gets into the body, and
they are not the most common
way.
The tetanus germ makes
a poison that causes muscles
to go into violent and pain-
ful spasms. Spasms of the jaw
muscles are how tetanus came
to be known as lockjaw. Pa-
tients can't open their mouths.
Tetanus also causes generalized
muscle spasms, with the patient
awake during the spasms. The
slightest stimulation -- a loud
noise, for example - can trig-
ger muscle spasms, so tetanus
patients are kept in darkened,
quiet rooms.
Penicillin, human tetanus
immune globulin and medicines
that control muscle spasms can
get most patients through this
harrowing illness.
I don't want to scare fjeople
about tetanus. It is uncommon.
However, everyone, at every
Laboratories (ICANL) has

program that evaluates the
quality of these and other
critical elements of a nucle-
ar cardiology laboratory.
Participation in the ac-
creditation process is vol-
untary. Accreditation status

age. should keep their tetanus
ininiunizations up to date. They
have to be obtained every 10
years. Only one-third of the
adult population of the United
States and Canada is adequate-
ly protected against tetanus.
DEAR DR. DONOHIE:
Every spring 1 have hay fe-
ver so bad that I am virtually
housebound. I have ased an-
tihistamines, nasal sprays --
including steroid nasal .sprays
" cleansing my nose with salt-
water flushes and many, many
other medicines, but I do not
get any relief. My primary
care dcKtor suggests I see an
allergist for allergy shots. Do
they really work? Would you
advise them? - HM.
ANSWER: Allergy shots,
also known as hyf>osensitiza-
tion, work for most. An allergist
first has to determine exactly
what a patient is allergic to and
then has a serum compounded
that contains the allergic mate-
rials. The shots are then given
in a series of weekly and in in-
creasingly concentrated doses
until a maintenance dose is
reached, and that dose is then
injected monthly.
The shots stop mast cells
from emptying themselves of
chemicals that spur allergy
symptoms like sneezing, itch-
ing and running nose when al-
lergic material lands on them.
I would advise anyone with
severe allergy symptoms that
do not respond to medicines to
have allergy shots.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I take a flsh-oil supplement
daily. Can you tell me if these
tablets contain mercury, as
some fish do? - P.C.
ANSWER: Take your fish-
oil supplement without fear.
Such supplements contain
negligible, if any, amounts of
mercury. They won't make
you sick. They could make you
well.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You're doing better on the flex-
ibility issue, but you still need
to loosen up a bit to show you
can be less judgmental and
more understanding about cer-
tain sensitive matters.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your personal aspect continues
to dominate this week. But try
to make time to deal with im-
portant career-linked matters as
well. A change of plans might
occur by the weekend.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Excuses are not really needed
for much of the confusion oc-
curring this week. However,
explanations from all parties
could help in working things
out to everyone's satisfaction.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
That surprising (but pleasant)
recent turn of events continues
to develop positive aspects. But
be prepared for a bit of a jolt on
another issue that needs atten-
tion.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Creating a fuss might bring you
that attention you want. But
are you prepared for all the ex-
plaining you'd have to do? Bet-
ter to use more subtle ways to
make your bid.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) With education con-
tinuing to be a strong factor this
week, this could be the time to
start learning some new skills
that can later be applied to a bid

reconsider some of your cur-
rent time priorities before you

project that you neglect meet-
ing a deadline on another.

what everyone's role is exp)ect-
ed to be before accepting that
workplace proposal. Getting all
the facts now could prevent se-
rious problems later on.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A flexible
position on a workplace mat-
ter could be the best course to
follow during the next several

proach.

many people in your workplace

ber: Allegiances can shift. Ask

HOUGHS NECK 'MAYOR* - Ralph Jacobs (second from left) was elected the mayor of Houghs
Neck for 2008. With him are (from left) Margaret Laforest, past president of the Houghs Neck
Community Council; Brian Laroche, president of Houghs Neck Community Council, and May-
or of Quincy Tom Koch. The race for Houghs Neck Mayor 2009 is undenvay.
To Promote The Spirit Of The Neighborhood
Contest For Mayor

The Houghs Neck Com-
munity Council invites
Houghs Neck residents
to start a campaign, host
events and coffee hours, sell
Houghs Neck merchandise
and raise money in a bid to
be named the 2009 Mayor
of Houghs Neck.
The contest, inspired by
similar contests in South
Boston and Dorchester, is
in its second year and Past
HNCC President Margaret
Laforest said she sees it as a
great idea for the neighbor-
hood.
"By hosting this con-
test, we hope to promote
the spirit of the Neck and
raise money for programs
sponsored by the Houghs
Neck Community Council,
and the Houghs Neck Com-
munity Council Scholarship
Fund." said Laforest. "We
hope to make this an annual
tradition."
This year's contest win-
ner, which will be the can-
didate that raises the most
"campaign money" between
now and Sept. 12, will suc-
ceed Ralph Jacobs, who
topped the 2008 ticket and
currently holds the title of
Houghs Neck's First Mayor.
Interested candidates
should email hnccbulletin(a-
yahot>.com or call Lafor-
est at 617-471-1806 or may
contact the other committee
members including Brian
Laroche, Julie McCloskey
or Christine Toler.

There'll be pain before

billion dollar renewal is not
too far in the future, accord-

who spoke at last week's
ground-breaking for Phase
3 of the Quincy Center Con-

Senator Michael Mor-

leaders at the ceremony
held in the center median of
McGrath Highway.
Koch called the Con-
course a major step toward
reinvigorating the city's
economic base, but, also,
warned that there will be
some traffic inconveniences
in the months ahead.
"We would not have a
developer without the Con-

Acts To Block
T Billboards
The Ordinance Commit-
tee voted Monday to support
a Home Rule Petition aimed
at blocking the installation
of MBTA billboards at T
stations in the city.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi proposed the
state petition after noting
that Quincy is undergoing
an "historic redevelopment
of the downtown area,"
while threatened with the
"construction of these rather
hideous billboards."
Prior to the committee
vote, City Solicitor James
Timmins described a legal
agreement between the city
and the T which specifically
prohibits the T from erect-
ing billboards or any struc-
ture in the air space above
transit stations.
However, Timmins not-
ed that the agreement was
reached in the 1960's and
may be challenged by the T.
He supported the commit-
tee's petition which will be
filed with the state legisla-
ture.

Will 2009 Be A Quiet Election Year?
Let's see ... the trees are blooming, the birds are singing
and lawn mowers everywhere are starting to rev for the
first time this spring.
That can only mean one thing:
Nomination papers for this year's city election will soon
be released by the Quincy Board of Registrars. Candidates
for mayor, councillor at-large, ward councillor and school
committee may pick up papers starting next Tuesday, May
5.
Right now. it appears there will be
some foot traffic into City Hall to get
those papers ... but probably not a stam-
pede.
"Unless there's a mayor's race, it will
be a quiet election year," says City Clerk
Joseph Shea. "There may not be any open
seats and open seats
bring candidates. But
we'll be ready to go either way."
Mayor Tom Koch, who will officially
launch his bid for a second term in May,
could face only token opposition or have
a free ride come November. However,
there's growing speculation that former
Mayor William Phelan will mount a chal-
lenge to win back the mayor's seat that he
lost in 2007 to Koch. A Koch-Phelan rematch would create
a big time political buzz throughout the city.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On April 27, 1865, days
after the end of the Civil War,
the worst maritime disaster in
American history occurs when
the steamboat Sultana, carry-
ing 2,100 passengers, explodes
and sinks in the Mississippi
River, killing all but 400 of
those aboard.
• On April 30, 1927, the
Federal Industrial Institution
for Women, the first women's
federal prison, opens in Alder-
son, W.Va. All women serv-
ing federal sentences of more
than a year were to be brought
there, with the vast majority
imprisoned for drug and alco-
hol charges imposed during
the F*rohibition era.
• On May 1, 1931, Presi
dent Herbert Hoover officially
dedicates New York City's Em-
pire State Building. The entire
102-story building went up in
just over a year, under budget
(at $40 million) and well ahead
of schedule. During certain pe-
riods of building, the frame
grew an astonishing four-and-
a-half stories a week.
• On April 29, 1944, the
last "Our Gang" film, "Danc-
ing Romeo," is released. The
first film, featuring a band of
mischievous youngsters, was
produced in 1922. In all, more
than 100 "Our Gang" films
were made. Later, they were
shown as TV comedies under
the name "The Little Rascals."
• On April 28, 1958, "The
Witch Doctor" hits the No. 1
spot on Billboard's pop charts.
The song used the unusual tech-
nique of recording the singer's
voice at a different speed than
the music. Songwriter and
singer Ross Bagdasarian (who
recorded under the name Da-
vid Seville) topp)ed the charts
again at the end of the year
with "The Chipmunk Song,"
sung by his chipper cartoon
band creation, the Chipmunks.
• On May 3, 1960, the
musical comedy "The -Fanta-
sticks" opens in an off-Broad-
way playhouse in New York's
Greenwich Village. The show,
about a young man and wom-
an whose ostensibly feuding
parents are actually scheming
to bring the couple together,
became the longest-running
musical of all time and is still
running today.
• On May 2, 1972, Ste
ven Spielberg begins filming
"Jaws." The production, which
used three mechanical sharks
to great effect, enthralled audi-
ences and grossed $458 mil-
lion in its theatrical release.

down, is being challenged by Martin Aikins and Margaret
Laforest. Both Aikens and Laforest are first-time candidates
and announced their campaigns earlier this year.
Kelly, if he runs, would be seeking a lO"" two-year term
as Ward 1 councillor. He is thinking very seriously about
running for re-election.
Aikens is chairman of the Zoning
Board of Appeals and is a business agent
for Local 103. Laforest is a commu
nity activist and former president of the
Houghs Neck Community Council.
There's also speculation that former
Quincy Police Officer Joseph Keegan,
now an attorney with a law office in Quin-
cy Center, could jump in the Ward 1 field.
Keegan lost to Kelly by 268 votes in the final election of
2003. Kelly polled 1 ,901 votes to Keegan 's 1 ,633.
Keegan, a resident of Merry mount, also made an unsuc-
cessful bid for school committee in 2005, finishing sixth in
the preliminary election.
If there are more than two candidates in the Ward 1 field,
that would set up a preliminary election on Tuesday, Sept.
22. The preliminary would pare the number of candidates
down to two for the
general election Tues-
day, Nov. 3.
Elsewhere on the
council. Ward 4 Coun-
cillor Jay Davis is
being challenged by
Brian Palmucci.
Davis, a local at-
torney and current city
council president, will be seeking his fourth term this fall.
He was unopposed his first three terms.
Palmucci, making his first run for councillor, is a pros-
ecutor for the state Department of Correction. He served on
the Pembroke School Conunittee before moving to Quincy.
He was president of the Ward 4 Neighborhood Association
before resigning to run for the council.
In Ward 6, there's been speculation that Brian McNamee
could face a challenge
from former Quincy
Police Chief Robert
Crowley. McNamee,
who works as the
chief financial officer
for the South Essex
Sewer District in Sa-
lem, would be eyeing
a third term while this
would be Crowley's campaign debut.
Crowley took papers out to file a campaign committee
but has not returned them, according to city election offi-
cials.
Perhaps the race that will see the most action is for the
three seats on the school committee. Those seats are present-
ly held by Anne Mahoney, Nick Puleo and Ron Mariano.
Mahoney will be seeking her second four-year term.
She scored an impressive political debut in 2005 when she
topped the ballot. Also elected that year were Kevin Mulvey
MAHONEY
PULEO
MARIANO
DAVIS
and James Timmins.
Mariano was elected at a joint convenfion of the school
committee and city council to fill Mulvey 's unexpired term.
Mulvey stepped down from his seat to become the human
resources director of the Quincy Public School system.
Mariano had been an elected member of the School
Committee before filling Mulvey 's vacant seat. He was first
elected to the school committee in 1989 and was re-elected
in 1993, 1997 and 2001. But he did not seek re-election in
2005.
If Mariano doesn't run for a full four-year term this fall,
observers see more candidates entering the school race. But
if he becomes a candidate, that could mean an even quieter
year.
Puleo is filling the seat vacated by Timmins after he be-
came city solicitor in the Koch administration. Puleo. who
finished fourth (the first runner-up) in the 2007 school com-
mittee race, is expected to make a run for a four-term term.
Whether or not there is an open school committee seat,
there are at least three other candidates seeking election to
the school committee.
Karl Roos announced his candidacy in January. A Wol-
laston resident, Roos works in the pharmaceutical industry.
He was a candidate to fill the school committee vacancy

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1930's postcard view of the interior of Elsie's
Restaurant that was at the corner of Beach Street and
Quincy Shore Drive. Elsie Spooner opened this Wol-
laston Beach landmark just after Prohibition ended.
The building was originally used as a provisions and
grocery store. For many years, Elsie's was a favorite
spot for dining and dancing. Baked stuff lobster was
the specialty. It also had a popular men's bar that was
frequented by the young sailors from the Squantum
Naval Air Station. This postcard was a gift from Mary
Johnson of Wollaston who worked as a waitress here.
There reportedly was another postcard showing the bar,
does anyone have one? To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail

Ward 4 Candidate Brian Palmucci
Responds To Article On Union Endorsement
1 would like to thank
The Sun for giving me this
opportunity to address the
false allegations that were
recently published in this
newspaper against me and
my campaign for the Ward
Four City Council seat.
Honesty and integ-
rity are important quali-
ties in a leader, and 1 will
not stand idly by while
my credibility is attacked.
Let me start from the begin-
ning.
On February 23, 1 was
proud to receive an en-
dorsement letter from The
Roofers & Waterproof-
ers Local Union No. 33.
The letter clearly and un-
equivocally stated that Lo-
cal 33 had, "with great
pleasure," endorsed my
candidacy for City Council,
and included a contribution
to the Committee to Elect
Brian Palmucci
"The prime factor in Lo-
cal No. 33 's endorsement
is your commitment to the
issues of organized labor
and all working men and
women," wrote Paul Bick-
ford, the business manager
of the union. "We look for-
ward to working with you in
the creation of jobs and any
other areas that will better
the community."
My campaign proudly
announced the endorsement
Clarification
An article in last week's
Quincy Sun regarding an en-
dorsement in the Ward 4 city
council race contained some
erroneous information.
The article inaccurately
stated that Ward 4 council
candidate Brian Palmucci
misconstrued a campaign
donation made by the Roof-
ers and Waterproofers Local
Union No. 33 as a campaign
endorsement.
The Union, in fact, did
endorse Palmucci for Ward
4 city councillor in a letter
dated Feb. 23. The letter
written on the union's offi-
cial letterhead was signed by
Paul Bickford, the union's
business manager.
Also, the statement in-
accurately stating Local 33
mistakenly sent a contribu-
tion check to Palmucci 's
campaign and this act was
misconstrued as an official
endorsement should have
been attributed to Mike Fo-
ley of the Union, not a direct
quote by Paul Bickford.
Thirdly, according to the
Palmucci campaign, it never
sent a statement to The Sun
withdrawing the previously
published endorsement an-
nouncement.
The news story inaccu-
rately stated the "Palmucci
campaign withdrew the en-
dorsement announcement."
The Sun regrets the er-
rors.
The Roofers have re-
scinded its endorsement of
Palmucci and instead have
endorsed incumbent coun-
cillor Jay Davis.
to the public, along with
the endorsement of another
union, in a statement pub-
lished in The Sun on April 2.
That's when this matter
took a very strange twist.
Within days of making the
endorsement public, 1 re-
ceived another letter from
Local 33. This letter stated
that the Union had, without
explanation, rescinded its
endorsement and decided
to instead support my op-
ponent.
1 found the Union's re-
versal curious and stunning.
But 1 was even more shocked
to read an article in The Sun
April 23 accusing me of
misrepresenting the Union's
endorsement entirely.
The article accused me of
making "an erroneous en-
dorsement announcement."
It also alleged that 1 had
"misconstrued" the receipt
of a campaign contribution
from Local 33 as "an official
endorsement."
Accordmg to The Sun,
the statement was written
by a member of Local 33
and submitted to the news-
paper by my opponent.
1 was never given the
chance to comment on this
statement before it was
published; not by Local
33, not by my opponent,
and not by this newspaper.
So let me take this op-
portunity to set the record
straight.
Local 33 official-
ly endorsed my candi-
dacy on February 23.
It was only after the en-
dorsement was made public
a month later that the Union,
without any explanation,
changed their tune and decid-
ed to support someone else.
1 do not know why the Union
decided to reverse its earlier
decision.Any speculation on
my part would be just that,
speculation. All 1 can say is
that 1 find the timing of their
decision - immediately after
my public announcement-
to be curious.
My campaign has since
provided a copy of the en-
dorsement letter to The Sun,
and 1 would like to com-
mend the newspaper for
eventually setting the record
straight and correcting the
untrue accusations made
against my campaign.
I am disappointed that
some have felt the need
to make these false state-
ments about my campaign.
But regardless of this epi-
sode, if elected to the City
Council this fall, I pledge
to work with all the unions,
including Local 33. to help
bring about change for the
better in Ward Four and
throughout our city.
The residents of Ward
Four deserve a serious cam-
paign about the important
issues facing our city, not
baseless accusations.

Poll: Dukakis- Jackson
Would Defeat Bush
By FRANK McCAULEY
A Michael Dukakis-Jesse Jackson ticket would defeat a
Republican ticket headed by George H W Bush 47 percent
to 42 percent according to a Time Magazine poll.
A ticket of Dukakis and Senator
Albert Gore, Jr., would defeat George
Bush 49 percent to 39 percent, the poll
suggested.
The poll of 1 .07.*i voters conducted
recently, showed the Massachusetts
governor was favored by 50 percent
to 39 percent over Vice-President Bush (hditor's note: A
ticket of Vice-President George H \V Bush and Senator Dan
Quayle would defeat Governor .Michael Dukakis and Sena-
tor Lloyd Bentsen in the November 19S8 election )
PLANS FOR D(K; POUND MAY BK DISCARDED
Plans to replace the city's dilapidated dog pound ma\ be
scrapped if the city can develop a program emploving pri-
vate kennels, according to .Mavor Francis X .McCaule\
.VIcCauley said the use of contract kennel services might
provide an answer since the cost of building a new animal
shelter has greatly exceeded the city's expectations.
The low bid filed recently for construction of a
4 jS()()- square foot animal facilitv was S8I8.{KK). some
S 143. (KK) more than the citv "s updated estimate of S6'^5.(KM)

Matt Lockwood Mullaney
Candidate For School Committee
Concourse Groundbreaking
Signals Start Of Center Renewal
Matt Lockwcx>d Mul-
laney announces his candi-
dacy for a seat on the Quin-
cy School Committee.
"Quincy deserves schmils
fit for Presidents," he said.
"I believe my success man-
aging strategy and planning
in another complex area,
healthcare, will bring a fresh
perspective to the work of
the school committee."
Lockwood Mullaney is
market manager for Harvard
Pilgrim "s Massachusetts
business, and previously
oversaw significant growth
in the non-profit's New
Hampshire and Maine mar-
kets. "Healthcare and educa-
tion are similar-lots of com-
peting interests and never
enough money. But schools
have some key advantages.
We have teachers who work
with students all day. every
day and really know their
needs. We can also make
early investments in reading
or math and know we'll see
the benefits in middle and
high school."

children, Evie and Emmett.
"Obviously, I care about
school performance because
I have young kids, and I am
concerned. Our test scores
are not where we'd like them
to be compared to other dis-
tricts and many parents are
anxious. Every parent wants
to provide the best for their
kids, and I want to help them
succeed as a member of the
school committee."
He attended public
schools in his hometown of
Boise, Idaho and came to
the Boston area for college
at Harvard and returned for
his MBA at MIT. He moved
to Quincy five years ago

Lockwood Mullaney has
been active in the schools,
interviewing seniors for
Harvard admissions, orga-
nizing job shadowing for
11 "" graders at Harvard Pil-
grim, and arranging a mini-
grant for science education
at Bernazzani (thanks to
support from the Harvard

"I joined other volun-
teers recently in reading Dr.
Seuss at Lincoln-Hancock
and I was impressed by the
diversity of the students and
the energy and enthusiasm
of teachers and administra-
tors. I don't think there are
any easy answers to improve
performance. My goal as a
school committee member is
to play a constructive role in
defining what we mean by a
quality education and figur-
ing out how we get there,"
he said.
"Ultimately, schools in-
fluence the economic and
social health of the city. If
the schools are great, more
people will want to move
to Quincy and we'll have
a more vibrant communi-
ty. That will also help our
home values recover, and
put money in the pockets
of local business owners.
Good schools make the city
stronger, and the other way
around," he added.

At last week's ceremt^ny,
Koch cited the foresight
of past mayors, starting
with Mayor James Mcln-
trye (1965-1971) through
his own predecessor, "Bill
Phelan who laid the ground-
work for today."
"This used to be Canal
Street," said Koch, recall-
ing that Canal Street was
upgraded to the four- lane
McGrath Highway with the
sole intention of joining it to
Burgin Parkway for a cross-
town roadway.
City officials and sev-
eral dozen observers joined
Koch on the center strip
of McGrath Highway for
the ceremony as sand blew
about and traffic slowed into
one lane at the signal for
Southern Artery.
"We ask people to be pa-
tient," Koch said, warning of
the upcoming traffic disrup-
tions as Phase 3 is expected
to last about three months,
and traffic on McGrath
Highway will be reduced to
single lanes as each secfion
is undertaken.
"This is the beginning
of our downtown renewal,"
said Ward 1 Councillor Leo
Kelly, praising the project as
did Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi who, also, re-

fic problems and noted that

Ayers, Tobin Against Sales Tax Increase
By TOM HENSHAW
At least two of Quincy's
three representatives in the
State House voted "no" to
an increase in the sales tax
Monday, each for the same
reason.
"There's a lot of pain out
there," said Rep. Stephen
Tobin. "People are hurting
financially. It's a bad time to
tax our way out of a reces-
sion."
"My constituents are
hurting," said Rep. Bruce
Ayers. "Now is not the time
to increase their financial
burden. It is time to enact
serious reform."
Rep. Ron Mariano was
not available for comment.
The bill, promoted by
BRUCE AYERS
House Speaker Robert
DeLeo, was approved by a
veto-proof vote of 108 to 51
to increase the state sales tax
from 5 per cent to 6.25 per
cent
Such a move, adherents
claim, would add $900 mil-
STKVE rOBIN
lion to the state's treasury.
"I don't buy that," said
Tobin. "It's not going to
raise $9{X) millicm. It's self-
defeating. The harder you
make it for people to buy the
less people buy."

Propane, Charcoal Grills And Balconies
1 have to bring this sub-
ject up again, propane and
charcoal grills on balconies.
The worse financial loss
due to fire in recent history
occurred when a fire began
on a balcony. A grill did not
cause it, but a grill fire could
just as easily have caused the
resulting damage. The fire
extended vertically upward
along the combustible exte-
rior of the building entering
the building at a higher ele-
vation causing considerable
damage throughout.
The loss was well over
a million dollars while the
building was then posted
uninhabitable, leaving ten-
ants seeking alternate living
arrangements fni well over
a year.
Is the convenience of a
grill on a balcony worth that
price? Property loss, pos-
sessions lost, a building left
uninhabitable and risk to
occupants and firefighters.
Should a grill catch fire on
a balcony, it can be fed by
the natural availability of air
surrounding it and the verti-
cal access to the outside of
FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
a building where heat and
flames will naturally ex-
tend.
A fire in a propane grill
can have disastrous effects
at grade level alone, while
this potential for damage to
life and property increases
substantially with the inac-
cessibility of a building bal-
cony. Danger to occupants
and firefighters a like in-
creases considerably when
fire infringes upon a pro-
pane cylinder above grade
level where exfinguishment
efforts are naturally ham-
pered by access limitations
and height.
The Quincy Fire Depart-
ment recommends a grill
be used at ground level, at
least 1 0 feet away from both
sources of ignition and po-
tential combustibles such as
wood siding, deck railings,
etc. We prefer they not be left
unattended while in use as
well. Considering the close
proximity of some houses
within this community, be
mindful of wind conditions
and smoke migration.
Meanwhile, it's been
a long and harsh winter
and many grills have been
stored in those conditions
outside. Tired equipment
can be more susceptible to
malfunction so it is impera-
tive to heed the facts about
proper storage and the use
of these grills.
Propane is 1 Vi to 2 times
heavier than air. Consequent-
ly the State code requires
that a propane cylinder be
storeJ a minimum distance
of 3 feet away from building
openings that are below the
level of cylinder storage, for
instance basement windows,
dryer vents, etc. The intent
being, should the cylinder
or hose leak, it minimizes
the chances of propane gas
migrating into the basement
of a house where the poten-
tial ignition of a furnace or
water heater exists. Cylinder
storage should be located 5
feet away from any potential
exterior sources of ignition
as well.
It is not our intent to dis-
courage grill use or our resi-
dents' best efforts with them.
However, we're looking to
have them stored and used
appropriately. They have no
place used or stored on bal-
conies. Please help us in our
continued effort to remove
them; if you have one on a
balcony, please remove it.
Thank you.

Midnight 8-1 Vote
Opens Door For B J.'s
Public Screening Process Sought
Cont 'd From Page 3
"I think they did a very
good job of designing BJ's
and addressing traffic issues,
but I don't think BJ.'s is the
highest and best use for the
entrance to the city's premier
office park," said Councillor
John Keenan who was the
lone vote opposing the Spe-
cial Permit.
Despite the sometimes
heated debates, little was
changed in the requirements
for BJ.'s as approved by the
Planning Board in March.
$350,000 Mitigation
Councillors accepted
$350,000 in new mitigation
funds, split 5-4 on sidewalk
sales of automobiles, and
balked at stricter regulations
on signage and traffic im-
provements.
QBJ agreed to provide
$200,000 in mitigation
funds for traffic improve-
ments at the Liberty Street
intersection and, last week,
doubled the company's so-
cial mitigation funds from
$70,000 to $150,000.
Councillors accepted
the new funds by a vote
6-3 after Ward 3 Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin read the
list of agencies and schools
which would benefit from
the windfall.
Councillor John Keenan,
unsuccessfully, sought re-
strictions on a planned pylon
sign on the property after
equating the sign to the con-
troversial billboards the city
is opposing in West Quincy
and on T property.
"It's the entrance to the
city," said Keenan, who re-
minded councillors, "We're
looking to battle the MBTA
(over billboards)."
Attorney Ed Fleming
who represented the devel-
oper opposed any restric-
tions, stating the sign would
face the highway and be
subject to future review
by the Planning Board and
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Traffic
Traffic Engineer Jack
Gillon outlined his doubts
about potential traffic prob-
lems and pedestrian safety
at the site and supported a
formal review of traffic, 12
months after B.J.'s opening,
as well as a stipulation that
the company cover any new
costs.
"If there are spectacular
accidents, you have a prob-
lem that has to be rectified,"
Gillon said, adding, "If it's
unfounded, we're going to
know it in a year.
"I don't want the citizens
of Quincy to pay for some-
thing, not to mention the
accidents they may have...
"said Gillon who, also, de-
scribed the need for safer
pedestrian access.
"The Planning Board
went into this ad nauseum,"
said City Council president
Jay Davis, adding the devel-
opers "...do not expect pe-
destrian traffic" because the
majority of shoppers will be
travelling by cars and buy-
ing large items.
Cont 'd From Page I
Finn recommended that
all members read the Civil
Service Commission's de-
cision rendered April 6 and
said his motion simply high-
lights the recommendations
of that decision.
In fact, Finn's motion
quotes the Commission's di-
rective that "the City embark
on a transparent selection
process to ensure a sense of
fair play among all eligible
candidates for fire chief and
the public. .."
Finn's motion also,
quotes the commission's ad-
visory for a better selection
process through the follow-
ing:
1 . Use of an outside re-
view panel of current and or
retired fire chiefs.
2. Public final interviews
that are broadcast on the
local cable access channel
in which each candidate is
asked a similar set of ques-
tions (sic) by the mayor and
other members of his inter-
view panel."
After considering the
council's petition, Koch is-
sued the following state-
ment through his Director of
Policy, Christopher Walker,
"The mayor appreciates
the council's perspective
and will take it under ad-
visement."
The former Fire Chief
Timothy Pettinelli notified
Koch on May 21,2008 that
he would retire on July 15
Following Pettinellis
retirement, Koch consid
ered several candidates who
turned down the position
and then called for a new
Civil Service Examination,
seeking new candidates.
Deputy Gar> Smyth chal-
lenged Koch's handling of
the search and filed a com-
plaint with the Civil Service
Commission in December
The Commission s de-
cision supported Koch's
decision to call for a new
examination, but questioned
the process and Koch's pro-
cess for apptJinting an acting
chief at that time
Koch has since called for
a new Civil Service list for
eligible candidates.

Davis said there were 10 to
12 applicants and "very few
met the requirements."
At last week's meeting,
Davis asked councillors to
interview the current appli-
cants despite the problems
with qualifications and Mc-
Namee supported the move.
However, the council
rejected that plan by a 7-2
vote and agreed that the
job qualifications will have
to be revisited at their next
meeting. The opening will,
also, be re-advertised.

it's done right," said Coun-

cillor Joseph Finn.
The City Council has
been without an indepen-
dent auditor since Rick Fitz-
patrick resigned in July 31,
2008 to take a position with
Norfolk County Agricultural
School.
In November, Finn re-
buked both Mayor Thomas
Koch and the council itself
for delaying action on the
audit position.
Koch appointed Susan
O'Connor as Acting Audi-
tor.
Councillors , also, ques-
tioned what type of funding
will be available for the
position which has paid be-
tween $ 85 ,000 and $ 1 05 ,000
in the last five years.
Cont 'd From Page I
Students from the Cen-
ter for Technical Education
completed the first phase
of iron fencing around the
park, and Koch said he
hopes students will continue
to be involved in the project
moving forward.
Other money from the
project came from City's
paik improvement bond,
which is paid by a hotel room
tax by visitors to Quincy.
"We have great athletic
facilities at Merry mount
Park and this project is a
perfect example of creatmg
that balances with passive
recreation." said Park Com-
missioner Knsten Powers.
Charles Francis Adams II
donated Merrjmount Park
to the City in 1885. Dunng
that time, Adams asked his
good friend and legendary
landscape architect Freder-
ick Law Olmstead to help
develop the land.
This onginal vision for
a passive park, at the heart
of the city was shelved for
more than 50 years, until
two of Olmstead's associ-
ates compiled a report echo-
ing that vision in 1937 That
report by Herbert Kellaway
provided the ultimate frame-
work for the current project,
which was first envisioned
more than a decade ago.
A dedication ceremony
will be scheduled later this
spnng.

A Job Well Done
■^
LT. DAN MINION
On Sunday, April 19, at approximately 4 a.m., Of-
ficers Mike Powers, Jim Gol-
drick and Mike Raherty were
dispatched to 391 Washing-
ton St. on a call of two males
breaking into the former San-
giolo's Package Store.
Dispatch remained on the
phone with the caller, who
said the males were wearing
baseball hats. The witness
said that the males fled from
the store with a Bud Light
sign and ran towards South-
em Artery.
As Officer Powers headed
to the intersection of Southern Artery and Washington
Street, he heard Officer Goldrick confirm that there
was a window broken but it did not appear that any-
one gained entry. He reported that a sign was removed
from inside the window, but was on the ground. The
officer also took into evidence a large piece of asphalt,
believed to have been used to break the glass.
Officer Powers checked the area and found two
males running down Murdock Avenue toward Southern
Artery. The officer then stopped both males in the park-
ing lot of Tom O'Brien Hyundai and confirmed that they
matched the description provided by the witness. Offi-
cer Mike King and Officer Flaherty responded to the
scene of the stop. When asked where they were com-
ing from, the suspects said, "West Quincy." Both had a
strong odor of alcoholic beverage and were sweating
profusely.
Officer Powers asked them why they were running
and both denied this, so the Officer followed up by ask-
ing why they were out of breath if they weren't rurming.
One suspect offered that they had a 5 a.m. curfew and
had to be home, but that was challenged by the Offi-
cers.
Suspect #1 then said that they were out of breath
because "we were actually fighting each other here in
the parking lot over a girl ." The officer told them that
they were lying because he had just witnessed them
running on Murdock Avenue and stopped them in the
lot. The Officer also noted that both suspects had blood
on their hands but none on their faces.
When asked about the blood on their hands, suspect
#1 said that suspect #2 was hit in the head with a beer
bottle by an unknown assailant and then blacked out
due to fear. The suspect did not have a wound or swell-
ing on his head. Both suspects were checked for war-
rants but were not wanted.
Based on the witness's account and description, the
locale of the break and the short distance away where
the suspects were stopped, the fact that they were run-
ning from the scene of the crime, fresh injuries consis-
tent with handling broken glass and their fabrications,
the two suspects, both 19 years old and from Quincy,
were charged with "Defacing or Vandalizing Real Prop-
erty. "
a
ASIAN SCAM: According to Detective Lieutenant
John Steele, Asian business owners across the state are
being targeted with this scam; a caller, speaking in Man-
darin with a Taiwanese accent, demands $20,000.00 or
harm will come to their family. The caller ultimately
seeks to have the money wired to China, where it will
never be recovered.
Anyone receiving this type of phone extortion should
take the following actions; After hanging up the phone,
dial *57, which automatically instructs the telephone
company to make notation of the telephone number the
call came from and secondly, contact Quincy Police

Be Proud Of Quincy Public Schools
My daughter Nealia
is about to graduate from
Northeastern University
with a B.A. in architecture.
Next year, she is enrolled in
the school's Master's Pro-
gram.
Time has flown by in her
academic career. One mo-
ment, it is first day at the
Djerf pre-school, then it's
college graduation.
Over the years, she has
benefitted from years inside
the Quincy Public Schools.
Squantum Elementary, At-
lantic Middle and North
Quincy High School where
she graduated in 2004.
Over a number of sum-
mers, she was also enrolled
in summer enrichment pro-
grams. All in all, her expe-
rience in the classroom was
second to none.
Quincy provides high
quality public education
with dedicated teachers who
inspire children to grow.
The parents of school -
age children can be proud of
their public schools. It pro-
duces good results.
1 am very proud of
my daughter's academic
achievements and of a pub-
lic school system which
made it all possible.

Asks Mayor Koch
To Look At South West Quincy Needs
It was good to see Mayor
Koch here in West Quincy
where he helped open and
dedicate the lovely five unit
apartment house for the
homeless in Brewer's Cor-
ner, and at the same time
celebrate Quincy 's Com-
munity Development Block
Grant Program.
The apartments are beau-
tifully designed and archi-
tect's plan maximizes every
available space. The former
Methodist church, built by
Swedish immigrants, is an
excellent use of this old
church by providing lovely
apartments for folks who
need a place of their own
and get a fresh start in life.
While in West Quincy, I
hope our Mayor had an op-
portunity to view the streets
and sidewalks in Ward Four.
Granite and Center Streets
for example - are two main
arteries used by heavy con-
struction trucks, leading to
and from Quincy Center
and in South Quincy. These
streets have not seen im-
provements for decades.
While bicycling, I no-
ticed that there seem to be
more potholes and crum-
bling sidewalks in West
Quincy than in any other
parts of the City. ( 1 may be
wrong as I have not hiked
in all parts of Quincy) Yet,
West and South Quincy has
one of the largest develop-
ments in the City, the Crown
Colony, but as soon as you
leave Crown Colony, there
is a neighborhood begging
for improvements.
West Quincy is one of
the largest wards in the city,
and it is the oldest and there-
fore the most historic one. It
hosts the first Commercial
Rail Road in US, the first
iron blast furnace, the first
Roman Catholic Church in
Massachusetts, the site of
the first Synagogue and not
to forget the world renow ned
Granite Industry.
Now, with the stimulus
money coming from Wash-
ington to cities and town
which are in dire need of
streetscape improvements, I
am certain that this admin-
istration is working hard
to capture these funds, and
focus on neighborhoods as
well as the downtown de-
velopment. The downtown
development will also ben-
efit if neighborhoods are
cared for and get on the list
of "shovel ready" improve-
ments.
Next, let us look at South
West Quincy, and its needs.
These needs, 1 am sure are
well documented and per-
haps "shovel ready" in the
City Planning Department.

Encourages Support For Wind Ordinance
As a coastal community,
Quincy is blessed with good
wind resources. These re-
sources, along with federal
and state support for renew-
able energy projects, have
led to a number of proposals
for wind energy facilities in
the city.
To help ensure that good
projects are built and bad
ones prevented, it is impor-
tant that the city establishes
defined standards for devel-
opment and regulates the
impacts of wind energy fa-
cilities as soon as possible.
I encourage our council-
lors to pass the wind ordi-
nance filed this week, and
I encourage residents to at-
tend the public meeting on
May 11 at 6:30 pm fn the
City Council Chambers.

nis E. Harrington received
accolades from Kristine G.
Foye, New England depu-
ty regional director of the
United States Department
of Housing and Urban De-
velopment (HUD), during
Quincy 's celebration of na-
tional Community Develop-
ment Week April 13-17.
Highlights of the week-
long celebration included
the grand opening of an af-
fordable housing project
sponsored by Quincy Com-
munity Action Programs,
and the unveiling of the
City's Language Assistance
Plan, sponsored by the
Quincy Fair Housing Com-
mittee.
The affordable housing
project, called "Housing
First for Families", has cre-
ated five new units of hous-
ing for very low-income
homeless and "at-risk"
families. Section 8 vouchers
were awarded by the Mass.
Department of Housing
and Community Develop-
ment and will allow tenants
to pay just thirty percent of
their gross monthly income
toward rent. Tenants will
receive case management
services designed to con-
nect them to resources that
will foster successful tenan-
cies, and help them achieve
self-sufficiency.
The grand opening was
celebrated April 14, on-
site at 388 Granite St. The
speaking portion of the pro-
gram was held inside the
Granite Street Caf^, located
adjacent to the project.

tion Programs for their inno-
vative use of CDBG funds
for efforts like the Housing
First initiative," said Cong.
William D. Delahunt.
'The CDBG Program
continues to be a center-
piece of community renewal
in the country because it of-
fers tremendous flexibility,
local control and allows the
cities to undertake projects
that would be impossible to
otherwise fund in the cur-
rent fiscal environment."
"We at 'HUD' share
Quincy's goal of helping
individuals and families
move beyond the cycle of
homelessness," said Foye.
"I am pleased to be able to
congratulate the City... on
another great project."
'"Housing First' is an af-
fordable housing model that
has proven to be more effec-
tive than emergency or tran-
sitional shelter," said Mayor
Thomas R Koch. "The City
of Quincy is a proud sponsor
of this project in collabora-
tion with the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban
Development, the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts,
and Quincy Community Ac-
tion Programs. We are com-
mitted to providing a better
quality of life for all of our
residents."
"A project like this
takes a lot of collaboration
and partnership, and we at
'HUD' think Quincy leads
the way and is a model in
developing creative ways
to partner between the City,
conmiunity, and non-profits
to make their housing pro-
grams work, and we're very
proud to be a partner in
that," said Foye.
The other main event dur-
ing the weeklong celebra-
tion was the public unveil-
ing of the City's Language
Assistance Plan for indi-
viduals with "limited Eng-
lish proficiency" or "LEP".
The City of Quincy will
provide Federally-mandated
program access to LEP indi-
viduals by contracting with
an over-the-phone language
interpretation provider.

"I would like to thank
all of the community center
directors for their participa-
tion in Community Devel-
opment Week," said Nancy
Callanan, Community De-
velopment Director. "These
centers offer vital programs
for youth, families, seniors,
and low income individuals
across the city."
"Community Develop-
ment Week was a great suc-
cess," said Planning Director
Harrington. "Our weeklong
celebration brought together
representatives from every
level of government, and
most importantly, included
opportunities for every
Quincy resident to experi-
ence the benefits of com-
munity development block
grant programs first hand."
Since 1975, the CDBG
program has provided over
$69 million to the City of
Quincy for community de-
velopment programs related
to housing rehabilitation;
first-time homebuyers; af-
fordable housing; public
facilities; public services;
public works; economic de-
velopment; and handicapped

The ABCs of
Handsaws
Q^I tried using the
• handsaw my dad
gave me to cut a piece of wood,
but it's the most useless thing
I've ever had. It sawed about
half an inch and then stuck,
and I can't get it out. What's
a better kind of saw to get? -
Felicity in Columbus, Ohio
A ^Handsaws require a
• bit of patience and
practice to reaJly get the hang
of. And while the majority of
do-it-yourselfers eventually in-
vest in power saws to handle
cutting jobs, learning to use a
handsaw properly is still im-
portant. You'll learn a lot about
proper cutting angles and some
of the characteristics of differ-
ent woods. Plus, it builds char-
acter, or so my dad used to say.
The type of handsaw to keep
in your toolkit at all times is
one marked "general purpose."
This type of saw allows you to
cut wood either along the grain
or against the grain. (A "cross-
cut" saw is designed to cut only
against the grain.) The blade
should be a little more than 2
feet long, with 8 to 10 teeth per
inch (this will all be noted on
the label). A good steel blade —
one that's not too floppy — and
a sturdy wooden handle are es-
sential.
To properly saw a piece of
wood, mark it with a line that
indicates the spot and direc-
tion you want to cut. Clamp
the wood to a sturdy surface
(a workbench or between two
sawhorses). Line up the saw
with the mark and begin slowly
sawing back and forth, smooth-
ly but firmly. As it cuts into the
wood, angle the saw at about
60 degrees vertically - try to
maintain that angle.
You will be able to feel
whether the saw is cutting
smoothly or not; don't fight or
jiggle the saw side to side -
concentrate on a smooth back-
and-forth movement using the
entire length of the saw blade.
Don't push the saw downward
to force the cutting to move
faster - this is one sure way lo
snag the saw teeth in the wood.
As you near the end of the
cut, be especially cautious.
The wood will get wobbly and
you'll need to hold one side
steady to keep the last bit from
splintering; plus, the instant the
saw gets all the way through, it
will fall downward and angle
right back toward you. So don't
saw too furiously at this stage.
Again, be patient as you
saw. If your arm gets tired, take
a break, then back at it. Don't
let frustration get the best of
you. The only way to get better
at this is to keep doing it.
HOME TIP: A saw blade
should be kept sharp, so look
for a saw file at your home-im-
provement store (directions on
how to use it should come with
the file).

your family breathes while
indoors.
Up to 72 trillion micro-
scopic irritants, or allergens,
find their way into your
home every day. They in-
clude dust, pollen, pet hair
and dander, dust mites, mil-
dew, lint, fungus, tobacco
smoke, cooking grease and
bacteria. Many of these par-
ticles are so small that your
nose and throat can't filter
them out and they can get
deep into your lungs.
The Environmental Pro-
tection Agency, Ameri-
can Lung Association and
American Heart Associa-
tion all agree that exposure
to airborne particles impairs
breathing and increases the
risk of asthma attack, stroke,
heart attack and other seri-
ous illnesses. These fine
particles enter your home
through doors, windows or
small openings in frames,
walls and roofs. They stem
from various sources outside
including fossil fuel burning
in vehicles and manufactur-
ing plants, and from activi-
ties inside such as smoking
or cooking.
No matter how hard you
scrub and dust, your family
can still breathe in tiny little
particles that can aggravate
allergies and asthma, and
even affect the heart. How-
ever, it is possible to have a
cleaner, healthier and comfi-
er home. American Standard
Heating & Air Conditioning
has compiled a list of simple
steps to help your family
breathe easier.
1 . Clean your home's air.

installing an effective and
proven whole-home air
cleaner. For example, stud-
ies show that the American
Standard AccuClean(TM)
whole-home air filtration
system may help prevent an
asthma attack, heart attack
or stroke. With the highest
clean air delivery rate in
the industry, its patented air
cleaning technology elimi-
nates allergens and particles
you don't want in your
home, such as dust, pollen,
bacteria, pet dander, mold
spores, smoke and the com-
mon flu virus.
2. Control humidity-
Keep a relative humid-
ity of 30 to 50 percent for
optimal comfort and to con-
trol irritants like mildew.
Controlling your household
humidity can also kill dust
mites, one of the most com-
mon allergens. Having a
humidifier or variable-speed
fan technology as part of
your HVAC system can help
you take control of your hu-
midity.
3. Repair damages.
Have your HVAC system
components, including fur-
naces, flues and chimneys,
inspected before each heat-
ing and cooling season to
repair any damages, holes
or cracks. In addition to re-
pairing your equipment, a
certified HVAC dealer can
inspect and clean your sys-
tem's parts and pieces, en-
suring they perform at op-
timal efficiency. It's not just
your HVAC system — it is
equally important to main-
tain the other components
of your home that impact
indoor air quality including
the roof, foundation and in-
sulation.
By taking these simple
steps you can ensure that
you and your family won't
be breathing indoor air full
of contaminants and, ulti-
mately, you'll all breathe
easier. For more information

home or to locate an Ameri-
can Standard Hearing & Air
Conditioning dealer near

(ARA) - Do you ever
wish you could create a
more comfortable home en-
vironment while also hav-
ing a positive impact on the
environment? This can be
your reality with motorized
awnings and window cover-
ings. Window covering and
awning motorization has
many benefits, one of which
is reducing heat gain and
loss - which creates a more
energy efficient home.
By providing shade to
windows and patio doors,
interior temperatures can be
significantly reduced, which
will ultimately help to re-
duce cooling costs. Accord-
ing to an energy study con-
ducted by the Professional
Awning Manufacturers As-
sociation, more energy is
lost through glass doors and
windows than through any
other part of the home. On a
hot day, more energy comes
through one square foot of
glass than through an enfire
insulated wall. Solar radia-
tion through glass is respon-
sible for approximately 20
percent of the load on an air
condifioner.
The exceptional insu-
lating benefits of awnings
and window coverings are
enhanced with motoriza-
tion that is so easy to use,
you'll find yourself using
them more frequently. At
the press of a button, shades
can raise or lower and aw-
nings can extend or retract
to meet your needs. Control
options are compatible with
both interior window cover-
ings and awnings and can be
used together or separately.
They include handheld re-
motes, wireless wall switch-
es and timers that you can
program to operate shades at
predefined times or sensors
that can automafically lower
shades and extend awnings
when the sun reaches its
strongest intensity. There
is also a wind sensor for an
awning that automatically
retracts it upon detecfing
wind generated movements,
so your investment is always
protected.
In addition to their en-
ergy efficiency, motorized
awnings are also a great ad-
dition to your home for oth-
er reasons. They make your
deck or patio a more enjoy-
able area that extends your
living space. You can turn
your outdoors into a com-
fortable space that you'll
use time and again with
family and friends without
the worry of intense sun or
other weather factors. Hav-
ing this available is even
more important in today's
economic climate because
you can spend more time at
home instead of incurring
the cost of a vacation.
Automated window
treatments also offer addi-
tional benefits beyond sav-
ing energy. Motorization
provides a safe and easy so-
lution for accessing window
treatments that are hard-to-
reach, whether they are in a
high foyer or even above a
bathtub or sink. They also
allow you to reduce harsh
glare when viewing televi-
sion or computer screens,
without interrupting your
activity. Also, because they
eliminate dangling cords,
you create a safer environ-
ment for small children or
pets.
Incorporating motorized
window coverings and aw-
nings into your home of-
fers the best of both worlds
by combining luxury with
performance. "Automated
retractable awnings and
window coverings enhance
the beauty of your home.
Both come in a wide variety
of decorative colors and de-
signs which will give your
home added value and create
a space that you'll always
enjoy. You have the pleasure
of knowing that you're im-
proving your quality of life
while also reducing energy
consumption," says Tracy
Christmann, marketing
manager for Somfy Sys-
tems, Inc.

you can bring your home to

tractable awning or window
coverings contact Somfy at

Tips For First- Time Homebuyers
(ARA) - Spring - for
iriany it's synonymous with
warmer days, greener land-
scapes ... and a more plen-
tiful housing market. Just
as daffodils start popping
up in neighborhoods across
the country, so too will "for
sale" signs adorn lawns
across the country.
But given the current
economy, does this mean
that it's a good time to buy
for first-time homebuyers?
For Eric Wright, assistant
director of admissions at
Brown Mackie College -
Louisville, who has more
than 12 years of experience
in the mortgage industry, the
answer is yes. "It is probably
the best time to buy or refi-
nance ever," he says. "It is
a buyer's market, and inter-
est rates are the lowest they
have been in history. Also,
homebuyers can receive an
$8,000 tax credit this year
if they purchase a home by
Dec. 1,2009."
Formeriy a broker, bank-
er and lender dealing with
residential and commer-
cial loans, Wright currently
helps mainly friends and
family members in meeting
their financial needs.
In addition to the low
interest rates most mort-
gage lenders are currently
offering, the affordability
of homes is rising. The Na-
tional Association of Real-
tors Housing Affordabil-
ity Index reported a 13.6
percentage j)oint increase
to 166.8 in January, which
according to the associa-
tion, signifies a new record
high. In simple terms, this
means that a single family
earning nearly $60,000 an-
nually could afford a home
that costs $283,400 with a
20 percent down payment.
A year ago, a single family
with the same earnings and
down payment could afford
a $263,300 home.
Low interest rates.
Check. Affordable pricing.
Check. That's all grand, but
how do you know if buy-
ing now is a good time for
you? "If you are first-time
homebuyer who is planning
on purchasing a home in the
near future, the best advice I
can give is to evaluate your
financial situation," says
Wright. "Pull a credit report
on yourself, calculate all
your debt, know your liquid
assets and have reserves, and
expect a few extra monthly
bills like homeowner dues,
waste management and wa-
ter."
Wright also conveyed
that it's important to know
your debt-to-income ratio,
as this is how an underwriter
will determine your income
qualifications. To get this
number, add up your en-
tire monthly outgoing bills
and divide the total by your
monthly gross income. The
key is to be under 45 per-
cent.
Next step? Shop around.
Wright advises to get at least
three to five offers from
lenders to compare interest
rates and fees, and empha-
sized that you should never
pay any application fees. He
also says that it's important
to know what documents
lenders require to help fa-
cilitate the approval process,
including:
• A full month of pay
stubs
• W-2s for the past two
years (If you're self em-
ployed, you'll need to pro-
vide your tax returns in
full.)
• Two months of bank

Take a
Volunteer
Vacation
With budget cutbacks
across every segment of so-
ciety, more and more public
programs will be depending
on volunteers to keep projects
going. If sitting beachside or
sleeping in a hammock isn't
for you, consider taking a vol-
unteer vacation this summer.
On a volimteer vacation,
you won't be paid for your
work. In fact, you'll be respon-
sible for your own transporta-
tion to the site and may pay for
your food and lodging while
there. Lodging can vary from
a sleeping bag on the ground
to a shelter or a motel, and you
might be cooking your own
food, depending on the pro-
gram. Still, a volunteer vaca-
tion can be a way to help oth-
ers, and some of your expenses
might be tax deductible.
Charity Guide [www.chari-
tyguide.orgl has an extensive
section on volunteer vaca-
tions. You can volunteer at a
camp for children with special
needs, conduct environmental
research, track whales dur-
ing migration, help to rehab
rescued animals at wildlife
sanctuaries, act as photojour-
nalist in any number of worthy
causes or help preserve histor-
ic trains and railroads, among
dozens of choices.

Do your research before

finally kicked off Thursday
at Adams Field, good base-
ball was played.
North Quincy met Quin-
cy in the first-round (an
8-0 Red Raider victory)
on Thursday, while Oliver
Ames squared off against
Milton (Oliver Ames won).
The tournament's second
day saw Quincy drop the
consolation game to Milton,
1 2-4, and North fall in defeat
in the championship game,
12-9, to Oliver Ames.
Not necessarily the final
outcomes the two Quincy
teams where looking for. but
win or lose, the tournament
was a certifiable success.
"It was a good event with
great baseball played both
days," said NQ head coach
John Fidalgo. "The weather
was perfect and it finally
felt like we were playing in
conditions that are suitable
for baseball. All four teams
played hard and the fans
seemed. to enjoy the compe-
tition. It was a success."
For North Quincy. the
tournament began with a big
win over archrival Quincy.
The Red Raiders had lost
to the Presidents on April
15, 4-2, so this game was a
chance for the team to enact
some revenge, and behind
the pitching of senior Joe
Edgerly (complete game,
two-hitter), that is exactly
what happened.
Facing Quincy junior
Kevin Keith for the sec-
ond time in a week, North
opened the scoring in the
third inning. John Ains-
ley (three RBI) drove in
the game's first runs with
a clutch one-out, two-run
single. The Raiders contin-
ued their offensive assault
as Matt Jay (two hits, two
runs). Lamonte Toombs
(three hits. RBI). Paul Rear-
don (hit). Matt Rodriquez
(hit, two runs) and Danny
Russell (two hits) battered
Quincy pitching.
The win over Quincy
matched North's wm total
from all of last year (nine)
with eleven games still to be
played.
"Keith shut us down the
last time we saw him (a
complete game shutout) but
this time around we got to
him," said Fidalgo about his
team's performance at the
plate. "We showed better pa-
tience at the plate, but some-
times even the best pitchers
don't have their best stuff.
He is a great kid and a very
talented pitcher, but we just
got to him in this game.
"But Joe pitched great for
us. He one-upped Quincy in
this game and our offense

gave him enough to work

cause we did not play well
or hit the last time we played

With their win over Quin-
cy secured. North Quincy
earned the right to go up
against Oliver Ames, one of
the better teams in Eastern
Massachusetts, m the cham-
pionship game. The Raiders
battled for seven innings,
but in the end. Oliver Ames
won 12-9.
The Raiders fell behind
the eight ball early, trailing
7-0 entering the second in-
ning, but a seven-run rally
in the bottom of the frame,
tied the contest at 7-7, Oli-
ver Ames would score five
more times against the Raid-
ers' bullpen, and a late-game
rally by the Raiders fell just
short.
NQ"s John Ainsley and
Matt Jay finished the title
game with three RBI each.
"The championship was
a good game, but we just
came up a little short." add-
ed Fidalgo. "Oliver Ames
jumped out to an early lead,
but we fought back to tie it.
Unfortunately they added
on in the late innings and we
just ran out of outs.
"It was obviously not
the outcome we were look-
ing for but they are a very
strong team, one of the best
in the area, and we played
with them most of the game.
Overall the tournament was
a lot of fun."

$10,000 Raised
12**" Annual Lions Run/
Walk A Success
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Lions Club
12"* Annual Run/Walk for
Sight took place last Sat-
urday, under clear skies, at
Pageant Field. Over 200
participants, including those
that took part in either the
children's IK race or the
adult 5K run/walk, helped
to raise $10,000 to benefit
eye research and the Club's
community service activi-
ties, including providing
free eye exams and free eye
glasses for local residents in
need, the offering of free vi-
sion and health screenings
and providing college schol-
arships to local high school
students.
It was a beautiful day
of local community activ-
ism and weather, for a great
cause.
"This event brought
out the best in people and
brought them together to
help our mission for help-
ing the visually impaired,"
said Joe Reardon, President
Quincy Lions Club. "The
weather was beautiful and
we raised a lot of money to
help our cause.
"We would like to thank
all the participants and all of
our sponsors and especially
our chairperson Loretta Mc-
Tieman. It was a successful
day."
The Quincy Lions Club
will continue in its efforts
to raise awareness for their
cause with "An Evening

Protecting Your Lips: The Forgotten Cancer
Don't just give lip ser-
vice to a severely peeling or
flaking mouth.
Oncologists say a few
weeks of those symptoms
could indicate lip cancer.
"Lip cancer is a disease
we don't talk about, yet it's
a real danger, especially for
people who get lots of sun
exposure," said Dr. Paul
Harari, head and neck on-
cologist at the University of
Wisconsin Paul P. Carbone
Comprehensive Cancer
Center (UWCCC).
The National Cancer In-
stitute (NCI) reports that
there are 23,000 new oral-
cancer cases each year. The
NCI says 5,400 people die
each year from oral can-
cer. Harari says lip cancer
represents only a fraction of
new cases each year because
the disease is not accurately
reported. In addition, few
people think about protect-
ing their lips from sun.
Harari says people don't
realize that they should
spread sunscreen on their
lips as well as on their
face and body when out in
the sun. He recommends
sunscreen with 30 SPF or
more.
"The bottom lip is more
likely than the upper lip to
develop cancer because it
gets more sun," Harari said.
"Cancer on the upper lip is
rare and can be more lethal
than cancer of the lower
lip."
People living in warm
climates are at greater risk
of getting lip cancer, techni-
cally identified as skin can-
cer. Haran says smokers,
people who chew tobacco
and spend a lot of time in
for the 21st Century
by Steven A Brustin, DMD.
BONE DRUG MAY SPUR JAW DAMAGE
While it lias been known for
some time that injections of the
class of antiosteoporosis drugs
known as bisphosphonates
might trigger jawt)one decay after
certain dental procedures, the pill
forms of these same drugs have
now been shown to have the
same side effect. According to re-
cent research, oral treatment with
alendronate ( Fosomax) for as little
as a year was found to increase
the risk for jawbone disease after
a tooth extraction or other dental
problem. Analysis of the medi-
cal records of patients who had
taken alendronate pills showed
the four percent displayed active
jawbone decay, or osteonecrosis.
The cases, which were related
to tooth extractions and denture-
related uteers, should prompt
greater carer and awareness of
this potential problem.
We provide complete, quality
dental care for all your oral health
needs. You can feel confident
that a professional and dedicated
staff performs all services, and
you'll find our staff to be both
friendly and knowledgeable as
well. We examine the oral cavity,
the mouth. How are the teeth?
Is there gum disease? How do
the teeth fit together? Are there
signs of infection, cancer, or
other disease? We invite you to
call 617-479-6220 to schedule
your next appointment. We are
dedicated to your oral health
and offer a variety of proce-
dures to help achieve a beauti-
ful smile. Our office is kxated
at 44 Greenleaf Street. We offer
the services of anesthesiology
with a fully trained and qualified
anesthesiologist. Visit us on the
web at www.quincydentist.com.
P.S. In light of the potential
for bi^osphonates to cause
jawbone disease, dental patients
should be sure to make their
dentist aware that they are taking
these drugs.
the sun have an even higher
risk.
Symptoms of lip cancer
include:
• an irritated area that can
look and feel like chapped
lips or a cold sore
• crusty patches on the
lips
• bleeding
• lip pain.
Harari says anyone with
symptoms that last more
than three or four weeks
should see a doctor. He says
when a lip malignancy is
caught early, the cure rate is
90 percent or more. Harari
believes early detection has
improved over the last few
years.
"For the past 10 years or
so, dentists have been doing
routine oral-cancer screen-
ings for their patients. That
has accounted for an im-
provement in early detec-
tion," said Harari.
Harari estimates that ev-
ery year, IJW oncologists
see a dozen patients who
have been referred from
dentists following an oral
screening.
Free oral-cancer screen-
ings will be held all over
the U.S. during Oral, Head
and Neck Cancer Awareness
Week from April 21 -May 3,
2009. For more information

COA In Need
Of Bath Seats

(ARA) - With the num-
ber of children with life-
threatening food allergies
on the rise, practicing food
allergy safety is more im-
portant than ever. From
closely reading labels to un-
derstanding hidden allergens
and Vood manufacturing
processes, there is a lot that
can be done to keep children
free of allergic reactions.
According to the Cen-
ter for Disease Control
(CDC), four out of every
100 children under age 17
- or three million children
- have a food allergy. The
recent CDC study, "Food
Allergy Among U.S. Chil-
dren: Trends in Prevalence
and Hospitalizations," also
shows an 18 percent in-
crease in children with food
allergies since 1997. And
the number of children hos-
pitalized for food allergies
jumped from 2,600 in the
late 1990's to 9,500 annu-
ally in recent years.
These babies and chil-
dren have immune systems
that attack specific foods
as if they were viruses or
unwanted bacteria, causing
painful — and sometimes
life-threatening — allergic
reactions.
Preventing an allergic re-
action sounds simple: Avoid
the food that is causing the
trouble. But it is more dif-
ficult than it sounds. When
browsing the grocery store
shelves or formula aisle at
the pharmacy, it is not al-
ways clear what exact ingre-
dients a product contains or
if it is manufactured in an
entirely allergen-free facil-
ity.
Avoiding allergic foods
- even in small amounts —
is also more important than
many people understand.
"A food allergy reaction
is serious," says Registered
Dietician Steven Yannicelli.
director of science and edu-
cation for Nutricia North
America. "In severe cases,
children may experience
life-threatening anaphy-
laxis, which prevents them
from breathing and can be
fatal if not treated immedi-
ately. Other symptoms, like
diarrhea and vomiting, are
less severe but can still have
dramatic negative effects on
a child's health and well-
being."
Here are several tips to
protect children from com-
ing in contact with foods al-
lergens.
Labeling
• Read all food labels
carefully to ensure they do
not contain allergens.
• Only purchase foods
and formulas with clearly
labeled ingredients.
• Research foods and in-
gredients before food shop-
ping or dining out.
• Avoid foods with in-
gredient names you do not
recognize until you have re-
searched them carefully.
Hidden Allergens
• Watch out for alternate
names for allergens. For
example, milk often shows
up on labels as "casein" or
"whey." There are other hid-
den ingredients that may in-
dicate casein or whey, so be
careful .
• Check ingredients in
every food and formula. Al-
lergens can show up in un-
expected places like salad
dressing and nutrition bars.

No Cure for
Heartburn,
but Medicines
Can Help
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
In 2004, I had a scope put
down my throat and into my
stomach. The doctor said I
had a hiatal hernia and signs
of acid reflux. He put me on
Prilosec, it stops my heart-
burn very well. I have been
on it ever since. If I miss two
doses, the heartburn returns.
Is it safe to take this medi-
cine for long periods of time?
-L.K.
ANSWER: Prilosec
(omeprazole), Aciphex. Pro-
tonix, Nexium and Prevacid
are proton-pump inhibitors,
the strongest medicines for
decreasing stomach acid pro-
duction. The manufacturers
of these medicines suggest a
four-to-eight-week course of
medicine. The medicines don't
cure heartburn. They suppress
it as long as a person takes
them So what's a person to do
when heartburn returns after
a course of therapy? Another
kind of medicine, like Zantac,
can be used. Common antacids
often work. Avoiding foods
that stimulate acid produc-
tion is another way to control
symptoms.
However, if acid reflux is
severe, then the proton-pump
medicines are the best. Evi-
dence suggests that long-term
use might make a person more
apt to have a hip fracture. That
danger can be partially offset
by taking calcium and vitamin
D. Many f>eople remain on
these medicines for extended
periods. You have to make this
decision for yourself.
The booklet on hiatal her-
nia, acid reflux and heartburn
focuses primarily on the com-
mon heartburn problem and its
treatment. Readers can obtain a
copy by writing: Dr. Donohue
ronment in which the foods
and formulas you give your
child are manufactured.
• For the most peace of
mind, purchase products
manufactured in 1(X) percent
allergen-free environments.
For example, many food
manufacturers put "manu-
factured in a peanut-free fa-
cility" on food labels. How-
ever, many manufacturers of
formulas do not. Make sure
you ask your doctor about
formulas manufactured in a
100 percent dairy-free envi-
ronment.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I
would like to know about the
side aches I get when I walk
or run. Why do they occur?
Do I walk them off or take a
break until thev go away? -
E.H.
ANSWER: What you call
side aches, others call side
stitches. Everyone gets them.
Some feel they are spasms of
the diaphragm - the large, thin
muscle that serves as a partition
between the chest and abdomi-
nal cavities and the muscle
that is the principal breathing
muscle. Or they might be due
to too much focxl or fluid in the
digestive tract. Some believe a
decreased blood flow to the di-
aphragm is the cause. In truth,
no one knows.
One way to get rid of them
is to raise both your arms
overhead while taking a deep
breath. Then lower your arms
while exhaling and simultane-
ously contracting your abdom-
inal muscles. Another favored
treatment is to bend the knee
on the side of the pain while
pressing your fingers into the
painful area.
DEARDR.DONOHIE:!
have what doctors call black
hairy tongue. Can you tell
me about it? -Anon.
ANSWER: Black hairy
tongue, aside from its looks,
is an innocent condition that
comes from the elongation
of tongue papillae, tiny pro-
jections from the tongue's
surface. Gently brushing the
tongue three times a day with
toothpaste, baking soda or 3
percent hydrogen peroxide can
usually get rid of it. If it's not
gone in a month, return to the
dentist or doctor for a follow-
up exam.

Most families will some day be confronted
with pre-post death arrangements for some
one they loved. Today making decisions in
advance of need is becoming more and more
common among those who believe that pre-
planning eases the post-death experience for
SCOTT DEWARE survivors. Here are some definitions which
could help you decide what to do.
DEWARE FUNERAL HOME PRE-PLANNING - "Pre-planning
means the obtaining of information for consideration and discussion
as to a funeral or alternate to it by an individual, a family or another
group. PRE-ARRANGING • "Pre-arranging" means the setting forth
in some detail the preferences of an individual, family or group. Usu-
ally pre-arrangements provide guidance to the survivors. . . PRE-
FINANCING - "Pre-financing" means the making available of funds
in such forms as insurance, bank accounts and trust accounts in which
management and benefits of the funds are reserved to the person who
creates them to defray the costs involved in a pre-arranged funeral
or alternate type of services. . . PRE-PAYMENT - "Pre-Payment"
means the payment of funds and relinquishing of the control thereof
to another party in exchange for an agreement that the receiving
party will provide a specified type of funeral whenever the need arises,
subject to state law . . .

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) You might need to do a bit
more investigating before mak-
ing a career move. You do best
when you come armed with the
facts. A personal matter still
needs tending to.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your creativity plus your good
business sense once more com-
bine to give you an important
advantage in a difficult work-
place situation. An ally proves
his or her loyalty.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Avoid rushing into something
just because it offers a break
from your usual routine. Take
things a step at a time to be sure
you're moving in the right di-
rection.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Bouncing back from a disap-
pointing incident isn't easy, but
you should find a welcome turn
of events emerging. Spend the
weekend with someone spe-
cial.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) An
incomplete project needs your
attention before someone else
takes it over and uses it to his
or her advantage. There'll be
lots of time for fun and games
once you get it done.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) Doubts involving a po-
tential career change need to be
resolved quickly so they don't
get in the way when you feel
you're finally ready to make
the big move.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Looking to blame
someone for a workplace prob-
lem could backfire if it turns out
you've got the wrong "culprit."
Best to get more facts before
acting on your assumptions.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21 ) Patience might still
be called for until you're sure
you finally have the full story
that eluded you up till now. A
trusted associate could offer
valuable guidance.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) Look into
your recent behavior to see if
you could have caused the cool-
ness you might now be sensing
from a loved one. If so, apolo-
gize and set things straight.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Easing up on
your social activities allows you
to focus more of your energies
on a long-neglected personal
matter. You can get back into
party mode by the weekend.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A dispute with
a colleague can be resolved
peacefully once you both agree
to be more flexible about the
positions you've taken and al-
low for more open-minded dis-
cussions.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Volunteering to take
on added responsibilities could
be a risky way to impress the
powers-that-be. Do it only if
you're sure you won't be swept
away by the extra workload.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your
sense of self-awareness allows
you to make bold moves with
confidence.

Cont 'd From Page I
health emergency in Massa-
chusetts.
"It means the govern-
ment can move medication
from the strategic national
stockpile," said Scheele.
The Bay State has re-
ceived 200,000 anti-viral
courses of treatment as well
as a shipment of masks and
gowns but they have not
been distributed to the cities
and towns.
"Masks instill fear," said
Scheele. "They are only
used in nursing homes and
hospitals. Our job now is
to get education out to the
people. We preach the same
thing we do for seasonal flu
— wash your hands and stay
home if you're sick."
The State DPH issued a
"fact sheet" containing the
following information:
"The most common
symptoms of swine flu,
like seasonal flu, are fever,
cough and sore throat and
can include body aches,
headache, chills and fatigue.
Some people have diarrhea
and vomiting.
"People sick with any
type of flu should make sure
to drink enough fluids, get
plenty of rest, eat healthy
foods, wash hands frequent-
ly and stay home to avoid
spreading the flu to other
people. The kinds of drugs
used to treat seasonal flu,
called anti-virals, can also
be used to treat swine flu.
"If you have symptoms
of influenza as described
above, and especially if you
have recently traveled to an
area where there have been
human cases of swine flu,
contact your health care pro-
vider who will decide what
kind of testing and treatment
is right for you.
"If you think you might
have swine flu and you
need to see your health care
provider, you should call
ahead and let them know
you might have the flu. That
way, precautions can be tak-
en to avoid the spread of flu
to others.
"If you have recently
traveled in an area affected
by swine flu,, be watchful
for any flu-like symptoms.
Stay home to avoid expos-
ing others and contact your
healthcare provider; your
healthcare provider will de-
cide what testing and treat-
ment is right for you.
"You can protect your-
self and others from swine
flu the same way you can
protect yourself from sea-
sonal flu. Avoid holding,
hugging, kissing or shaking
hands with anyone who has
a cold of the flu. Wash your
hands often with soap and
warm water, or use an alco-
hol-based sanitizer. Avoid
touching your nose, mouth
or eyes. Clean things that
are touched often like door
handles, telephones, etc.
"All people with swine
flu who are not hospitalized
and their household and oth-
er close contacts will need to
stay home to prevent spread
of illness to other people.
"Things people who have
swine flu and who are cared
for at home should do in-
clude:
"• Check with their
healthcare provider about
any special care they might
need if they are pregnant or
have a health condition such
as diabetes, heart disease,
asthma or emphysema.
"• Check with their
healthcare provider about
whether they should take
antiviral medications.
"• Stay home for at least
seven days after onset of ill-
ness or until free of symp-
toms (including fever) for
24 hours, whichever is lon-
ger.
Help With Simple
Wills Monthly
Atty. Ed Conroy will be
at the Council on Aging of-
fice, 83 Saratoga St., North
Quincy, every third Friday
of the month to assist the el-
derly with a free explanation
of simple wills.
Call 617-376-1506 for an
appointment.
"• Get plenty of rest.
"• Drink clear fluids
(such as water, broth, sports
drinks, electrolyte beverag-
es for infants) to keep from
being dehydrated.
"• Cover coughs and
sneezes. Clean hands with
soap and water or an alco-
hol-based hand rub often
and especially after using
tissues and after coughing
or sneezing into hands.
"• Never cough in the di-
rection of someone else.
"• Avoid close contact
with others -- do not go to
work or school while ill.
"• Be watchful for emer-
gency warning signs that
might indicate you need to
seek medical attention
"• Get medical care right
away if the sick person at
home has difficulty breath-
ing or chest pain, has purple
or blue discoloration of the
lips, is vomiting and unable
to keep liquids down, has
signs of dehydration such
as dizziness when standing,
absence of urination, or in
infants, a lack of tears when
they cry or has seizures, is
less responsive or becomes
confused.
And don't be afraid to
eat properly handled and
cooked pork and pork prod-
ucts. Swine flu viruses are
not spread by food but by
coughing or sneezing or
touching something infected
with the virus.

ticipated in the Montessori
Model United Nations in
New York City in March.

wrote resolutions, debated
during regular and moder-
ated caucuses, and most
importantly, made compro-
mises.

train and the NYC subway,
toured the real UN building,
and sat in an actual UN con-
ference room for their final
meeting. They also visited
Brooklyn where they saw
the NYC skyline including
the Statue of Liberty.
Many important resolu-
tions were passed by the 4th
to 6th graders at the Montes-
sori Model United Nations
with the help of Montessori
School Of Quincy 's Upper
Elementary students. They
were instrumental in pass-
ing the following resolu-
tions representing Brazil as
a sponsor or signatory:
• Empower Women and
Achieving Millennium De-
velopment Goals I and 3
• Fair Trade Policies to
Defeat Inequality World-
wide
• Global Management of
Water and other Resources
• Sustainable Develop-
ment and the Use of Renew-

Abigail Adams Cairn
To Be Rededicated July 11
Symposium On Substance Abuse
May 12 At Quincy Marriott
Mayor Thomas Koch,
Warj:, 2 Cily Councillor
Daniel Raynv)ndi and the
Quincy l-fist^rical Society
announced Tuesday that a
new time capsule will be
buried inside 4he renovated
Abigail Adams Cairn dur-
ing a ceremooy on July 11,
the birthday oT John Quincy
Adams.
And officials are asking
for your help. Any member
of the public with an idea
of what to bury inside the
time capsule should email
Chris Walker of the Mayor's
staff at ^wiiJJv<?rC«j^(4.ui n<r'> ■
Diaus.
"We uncovered a his-
torical treasure through the
renovation and we want to
leave something just as sig-
nificant for a future genera-
tion to discover," said Koch.
"1 wish to thank Councillor
Raymondi and the Histori-
cal Society for all their hard
work on this."
The time capsule, which
contained newspapers and
other artifacts dating back
more than 100 years, was
found during emergency
reconstruction of the Cairn
last year. Koch, working
with Raymondi, secured
funding for the project after
inspections showed visible
cracks in the Cairn and large
open spaces in the structure
where stones had fallen.
Restoration experts were
brought in to completely dis-
mantle the Cairn and rebuild
it using the same Quincy
granite and memorial stones
that built the original.
"This was originally a

history, and it has turned
to bear much more his-
tory than anyone would' ve
thought," said Raymondi. "I
am greatly looking forward
to rededicating a place that
is so important to our com-
munity's heritage."
The Cairn was erected
atop Penns Hill in 1896 to
mark the location where
Abigail Adams took John
Quincy Adams to watch the
Battle of Bunker Hill across
Boston Harbor in 1775. The
scene was immortalized in
last year's HBO mini-series
"John Adams."
Officials are hoping for a
"major public celebration"
to re-dedicate the Cairn and
expect to release more de-
tails in coming weeks. Dr.
Edward Fitzgerald, Execu-
tive Director of the Quincy
Historical Society, said a re-
dedication on John Quincy
Adams' birthday makes per-
fect sense, considering his
connection to the site.
Mayor Thomas P. Koch
and the Quincy Drug Task
Force will host a symposium
on substance abuse on Tues-
day, May 12 from 6-8 p.m.
at the Quincy Marriott.
"We find time and time
again that people are not
aware of the scope of the
substance abuse problem
and that they are unprepared
to find help in the event that
a family member or friend
has fallen victim to drugs,"
Koch said.
Michael Botticelli from
the Substance Abuse Divi-
sion of the Department of
Public Health, Dr. Lee El-
lenberg from the MASBIRT
program at the Quincy Med-
ical Center and Judge Mark
Coven from the Quincy Dis-
trict Court will all make pre-
sentations and participate in
a roundtable discussion. The
event will focus on bringing
greater attention to the most
current techniques used to
combat substance abuse oc-
curring in Quincy.
"Many programs exist in
Quincy that provide coun-
seling and treatment for
drug abusers," K(x:h added.
"The information and dis-
cussion next Tuesday will
shed light on the dangers of
substance abuse but also the
local programs in operation
that can help people cope
with the dangers of sub-
stance abuse."
Cleaner, Greener Success
This year's Cleaner,
Greener Quincy was a huge
success. Mayor Thomas
Koch announced Tuesday.
The annual citywide
beautification event, that
joins together residents,
youth groups and volun-
teers from local businesses
to spruce up pubic spaces,
continues to be successful
and grow year after year.
This year, over 2,000
volunteers worked together
with city work crews from
the Department of Public
Works and the Park Depart-
ment to clean up debris from
public schools, playgrounds,
parks, beaches, marshes and
open spaces. This year, vol-
unteers and city crews re-
moved up to 35 tons of de-
bris from over 50 locations
throughout the city.
Following the event,
Koch hosted a volunteer ap-
preciation cookout at Pag-
eant Field where he thanked
all the volunteers for joining
together, beautifying our
city and strengthening our
community.
The mayor also ex-
pressed his appreciation for
Hannaford Supermarkets
for sponsoring the cookout
and for State Street Corpo-
ration for sponsoring in part
this year's Cleaner, Greei]er
Quincy event.
At the Mayor's apprecia-
tion cookout all volunteers
received a free commemo-
rative Cleaner, Greener
Quincy t-shirt.

New York Resident Had Disease
Swine Flu Comes And Goes
At Quincy Medical Center
By TOM HENSHAW
The swine flu showed up
in Quincy last week — but
it didn't stay long enough to
be counted against the city.
The man who checked
into Quincy Medical Center
Sunday, April 26, with flu-
like symptoms was actually
a resident of New York who
was confirmed to have the
latest dread disease.
He was treated for his
mild case and sent home.
Meanwhile, all those at
Quincy Medical center who
came in contact with him
were treated as a precaution
until the seven-day incuba-
tion period expired Mon-
day.
The staff at QMC han-
dles those who suspect they
might have swine flu swiftly
and efficiently as one Brain-
tree man who underwent the
prtKcdure will attest.
Taken to the Center by
ambulance, a surgical mask
was tied over his nose and
mouth, blood taken from his
arm and DNA from his nos-
trils and examined. He was
cleared in three hours.
The city's defenses
against swine flu were out-
lined in a meeting called by
Mayor Tom Koch Tuesday,
April 28, with department
heads and other concerned
organizations.
They included the Police,
Fire, Health, School and
Emergency Departments,
Fallon Ambulance, Easy
Care Ambulance, South
Cove Community Center,
Manet Health Center, Quin-
cy Mental Health Center and
Quincy Access Television.

coordinated response."
said Health Commissioner
Andrew Scheele. "We dis-
cussed precautions, made
sure there were gloves and
masks in all the police cars
and got fact checks out to
the homes."
As of 3 p.m. Tuesday,
there were 34 confirmed
cases of swine flu in Massa-
chusetts and no deaths.
Across the United States
there were 403 confirmed
cases in 38 states with one
death, that of a boy from
Mexico who had just arrived
in Houston for treatment.
Scheele said the seasonal
flu averages 30,000 deaths a
year, mostly among the el-
derly and the very young.
"This flu is much mild-
er." he said. "Most people
are treated and released."
But, if you suspect you
have the swine flu, Scheele 's
simple advice is still in
force:
• Wash your hands.
• Stay home in a room by
yourself.
• If you have trouble
breathing, go to the hospi-
tal.

The case for consolidating
your mortgage and equity line
into one loan right now
You had a great rate on your mortgage and didn't want to
touch that. But there was something you needed or wanted
money for. And adjustable home equity line rates were
low-low-low. So you took one out. Now that line keeps
adjusting up-up-up. You're feeling the squeeze and suffering
with the squeeze. You ore not alone. If youVe worrying
about where rates are going next and simply want
to have the same mortgage payment every single
month, consider consolidating your original mortgage
and that home equity line into one new, locked- in
fixed-rate 30-year loan while those rates are still
near historic lows. Come see us and we'll help you figure
out if consolidating is right for you. Or call Richard Coleman
or Angela Blanchard at 617-471-0750.

THE HISTORY CHANM
• On May 9, 1671, in Lon
don, Irish adventurer "Cap-
tain" Thomas Blood is cap-
tured attempting to steal the
Crown Jewels in retaliation
after being deprived of his Ire-
land estates. King Charies was
so impressed with Blood's au-
dacity that he restored his es-
tates in Ireland and made him
a member of his court with an
annual pension.
• On May 10, 1869, the
Union Pacific and Central Pa-
cific railn^ads meet and are
connected in Promontory,
Utah. This made transconti-
nental railroad travel possible
tor the first time in U.S his-
tory. Journeys that had taken
months by wagon train or
weeks by boat now took only
days.
• On May 7, 1915, the
British ocean liner Lusitania
is torp)edoed without warning
by a German submarine off
the coast of Ireland, with 1 ,198
people drowned. It was later
revealed that the Lusitania was
carrying about 173 tons of war
munitions for Britain, which
the Germans cited as justifica-
tion for the attack.
• On May 6, 1940, John
Steinbeck is awarded the Pu-
litzer Prize for his novel "TTie
Grapes of Wrath." The book
traces the fictional Joad family
of Oklahoma as they lose the
family farm and move to Cali-
fornia in search of a better life.
• On May 4, 1965, San
Francisco Giants outfielder
Willie Mays hits his 512th
career home run to break Mel
Ott's National League record.
Mays would finish his career
with 660 home runs, good for
third on the all-time list at the
time of his retirement.
• On May 8. 1984, the So
viet government announces a
boycott of the 1984 Summer
Olympic Games to be held in
Los Angeles. Although the So-
viets cited security concerns,
the boycott was more likely
due to America's generous aid
to Muslim rebels fighting in
Afghanistan.
• On May 5, 1995, the
Dallas area is hit by a severe
hailstorm that causes many se-
rious injuries. It was the worst
recorded hailstorm to hit the
United States in the 20th cen-
tury. The Texas storm came on
suddenly, and many people had
not yet sought shelter when
tennis-ball-sized hail began to
fall.

TERRIFIC TRIO! - Quincy residents Colby Mor-
rissey, Marisa Ross and Lisa Rubino were members of
"Team Brigham" who completed the Boston Marathon
on Patriots Day. The three runners raised more than
$10,000 for Brigham and Women's Hospital Commu-
nity Health. They extend their thanks to all their family,
neighbors and friends who supported their run. Colby,
by the way, is the daughter of Sen. Michael Morrissey.
Great job, runners!
Koch-Phelan Part II
KOCH
PHJlLAN
It's apparently on.
And it should be a doozy.
The pieces are falling into place for a mayoral re-
match between incumbent Tom Koch and the man he
defeated two years, William Phelan.
On Tuesday, Phelan announced he has set up an ex-
ploratory committee which will determine the feasi-
bility of running for
mayor this fall.
Political observ-
ers believe it's not
a question of IF but
rather WHEN Phel-
an will officially de-
clare his candidacy
for the city's highest
elective office.
If (or when) he does, Phelan will not only be chas-
ing Koch, he'll be chasing history.
A Phelan-Koch mayoral rematch would mark only
the third time in the city's history that an incumbent
mayor who had been defeated for re-election subse-
quently ran against the mayor who defeated him in the
next election. But in those two prior occasions, the for-
mer incumbent could not defeat the sitting mayor.
So, Phelan would be trying to accomplish a political
first if he challenges Koch: win back the mayor's of-
fice against the candidate who unseated him two years
ago.
The last time this scenario played out in Quincy
politics was three quarters of a century ago.
In the 1932 election. Mayor Thomas J. McGrath,
seeking a fourth term, was defeated by Charles A.
Ross whom he had defeated twice (in 1926 and 1928).
Ross's margin of victory was 1 ,710 votes.
In 1934, McGrath, seeking to regain the mayoral-
ty he lost in 1932, was once again defeated by Ross.
Ross' victory margin was 1 ,914 votes.
The other political parallel occurred during the elec-
tions of 1916 and 1918.
In 1916, Mayor Gustav Bates was defeated by then
City Council President Joseph Whiton. Whiton, with
3,131 votes, to Bates' 2,962 votes, won by 169 votes.
Bates ran again in 1918 and was once again defeated
by Whiton, losing by 1 ,01 1 votes.
Let's fast forward to the election of 2007.
Then Mayor William Phelan ^ was seeking a fourth
two-year term. He was first elected in 2001 when he
defeated incumbent Mayor James Sheets by a scant 17
votes - the closest mayoral election in Quincy history.
Phelan was re-elected in 2003 (with opposition) and
2005 (when he was unopposed).
In January, 2007, the table was set early for what
turned out to be an epic mayor's race. That's when
Koch, the longtime executive director of the city's
Park, Forestry and Cemetery Department, resigned
that post to challenge Phelan. At the end of a long and
hotly contested campaign, Koch emerged victorious
by a margin of 2,051 votes. He was inaugurated as the
city's 33rd mayor in January, 2008.
Scanning the numbers from the city's Summary
Report for the 2007 municipal election certain figures
jump out.
For instance, the city wide voter turnout was only
44.5 percent. Of Quincy's 53,540 registered voters,
only 23,586 voters when to the polls.
The actual number of votes cast in the mayor's race
broke down this way: 12,672 for Koch, 10,621 for
Phelan.
It stands to reason that Koch-Phelan Part II would
trigger a higher turnout at the polls. City Clerk Joseph
Shea agrees. "If there is a rematch, I can see tumout
rising to 52 to 55 percent," he said.
Of course it's anyone's guess which candidate
would benefit from a significantly higher tumout in the
city election set for Tuesday, Nov. 3. And it would be
naive to think that every Koch vote would go Koch's
way this time around; and the same for Phelan.
And of course, there's always a chance a third can-
didate could jump into the mayor's race. That would
set up Quincy's first mayoral preliminary election
since 2003. That year. Ward 6 Councillor Joseph New-
ton and Quincy businessman Harvey Kurtzman chal-
lenged Phelan who was seeking a second term. Phelan
defeated Newton in the general election.
Looking at the 2007 mayor's race by ward, Koch
won five wards while Phelan won one.
In Koch's win column were Ward 2 (by 456 votes).
Ward 3 (373 votes). Ward 4 (539 votes). Ward 5 (302
votes) and Ward 6 (396 votes). Phelan carried Ward 1
but only by 15 votes.
Next match up those ward totals with the voter turn-
out for those individual wards.
In Ward 1, the turnout was 53.20 percent ~ the
highest in the city. In that election. Ward 1 Council-
lor Leo Kelly was unopposed. This year, the seat is
open since Kelly announced Tuesday he is not seeking
re-election. Will tumout in Ward 1 be higher this fall
with a competitive race for an open seat? At least two
candidates have announced their intentions to seek
Kelly's seat: first-time candidates Martin Aikens and
Margaret Laforest.
The ward with the second highest turnout two years
ago was Ward 6 where Koch defeated Phelan by nearly
400 votes. The turnout was 49.26 percent. Incumbent
Councillor Brian McNamee turned aside a challenge
by Jimmy Liang. It is unclear whether McNamee will
face opposition but there's been speculation former
Police Chief Robert Crowley, a Squantum resident,
could make a bid for the seat.
Two years ago. Ward 4 had the dubious distinction
of the lowest voter turnout: only 35.60 percent. Koch
defeated Phelan there by 539 votes. However, this year
should be different since incumbent Councillor Jay
Davis, who was unopposed for the third time in 2007,
has at least one challenger: Brian Palmucci. Tumout
should be higher in Ward 4 with a competitive contest
for councillor.
In the three other wards, the tumout was 36.86 per-
cent in Ward 2; 43.86 percent in Ward 3 and 45.79 per-
cent in Ward 5. The mmor mill on potential challeng-
ers for incumbent councillors Dan Raymondi (Ward
2), Kevin Coughlin (Ward 3) and Doug Gutro (Ward
5) has been quiet.
There's also been some telephone polling regard-
ing a potential Koch-Phelan race. Perhaps just another
sign that the city should see a competitive mayor's race
this fall. But will it be history making? That won't be
known until Nov. 3.
Koch, who will officially launch his re-election bid
Thursday, May 14, won't comment on hypotiietical
opponents. But, as he's said before, the mayor's seat
is the people's office. And he said he welcomes the
opportunity to stake his record against any potential
challenger.
A mayoral rematch between Koch and Phelan will
be a spirited campaign. Hopefully the candidates will
engage in frank, straight-forward and fair discussions
about issues and each other's record while in the of-
fice. Voters deserve to have a clear understanding of
the candidates' platforms by election day.
The city is at a cross-roads on many issues, includ-
ing downtown development, providing services with
reduced revenues, and prioritizing other necessary and
long-awaited projects.
Koch and Phelan - by contrasting and comparing
their respective records - can now tell the electorate
why they deserve to lead the city - again.

Quincy Needs A Well-Crafted Wind Ordinance
This Week
1933
76 Years Ago
Wind power is an afford-
able, domestic, zero emis-
sion form of energy.
That's the basic reason
why Quincy should adopt a
zoning ordinance to properly
handle applications to build
wind turbines in Quincy.
But there are other rea-
sons. In the federal stimu-
lus package, there are strong
financial incentives for re-
newable energy.
And there are strong in-
centives at the state level
too. Many of those are par-
ticularly targeted to commu-
nity scale projects. So we
can either take advantage of
this window of opportunity
or watch dozens of other
communities jump in line
ahead of us.
With a well-crafted wind
ordinance, Quincy can take a
first important step towards
reducing its reliance on fos-
sil fuels and becoming part
of the green economy.
Without a wind ordi-
nance, we may see good
projects go before the Zon-
ing Board of Appeals and be
denied. Or we may see bad
projects be approved.
This is not a matter to put
off any longer. On May 1 1 ,
a Monday, the City Council
will hold a public hearing on
a proposed wind ordinance.
It's at 6:30 p.m. in the Coun-
cil Chamber.
People who are interested
should take this opportunity
to be heard and seen.

Yvan is a quick-tempered
40-year-old vintage car
dealer while Elie is a young
burglar and ex- junkie.
One day Yvan catches
Elie trying to rob him. In-
stead of beating him up, he
becomes strangely attached
to him and agrees to drive
him home tt) his parents
in his old Chevrolet. Yvan
and Elie are both nostalgic
about lost relationships,
which is what leads them
to undertake a bizarre jour-
ney through a region that is
as spectacular as it is crazy.
Both are trying to find the
pieces of a puzzle that they
want to put back together,
but it might be too late.

Enjoying Life at
Allerton House
THE ALLERTON WAY
Allerton House at Hancock Park, Quincy, MA
by Kelly Richards
Theresa Webber's
children surprised
her two years ago
when they came to
her Dorchester home
and simply said that
they wanted to take
her somewhere.
Webber says, "As it
turned out, the final
destination of our
mystery ride was
Allerton House at
Hancock Park. After
taking a tour and
meeting some of the
residents and staff, I
knew I would love
living here." She
credits her daughter
and three sons for
doing their research,
knowing her needs
the meals are great.
Now I just do what 1
want to do."
Webber's engaging
personality touches
everyone she meets.
"I believe we all just
need to keep going
and stay involved, "
she says. And stay
involved she does.
You may find her at
the Bingo game at
Allerton House three
or four times a week,
joining other
residents on a road

and personality, wanting to make
life easier, and finding her a per-
fect home. "It was the first place I
looked at, " she says. "1
didn't need to look any ftirther"
Today, Webber's spacious one-
bedroom apartment at Allerton
House is decorated with lots of
photographs of her children and
grandchildren, as well as other
personal possessions that she
holds dear. "All of my furniture fit
right in, " says Webber. And my
family is close by so I see them all
the time. They especially like to
come to the special events here.
At the Christmas party, they saw
me sitting on Santa's lap."
Prior to her move to Allerton
House, Webber lived alone. With
her children nearby, she could
always count on them for help, but
at age 82, she continued to carry
the first friends she made when
she moved in now lives at Welch
Healthcare & Retirement Group's
skilled nursing center in Hingham,
and Webber makes it a point to
visit her often. "We both enjoy
catching up during our visits."
According to Webber, one of
the best things about living at
Allerton House at Hancock Park is
the opportunity to be around tmly
nice people. "I know everybody
here," she says, and "everybody is
wonderfiil. Moving here was the
best thing!"
Kelly Richards is the Marketing
Director for Allerton House at
Hancock Park in Quincy. The 42-
apartment assisted living residence is
owned and managed by Welch
Healthcare & Retirement Group,
out the day-to-day tasks that home which is celebrating 60 years of
ownership entails. She says, "I
don't have to do anything now -

paying the bills, no laundry. All of
those things are done for me, and

Adams National Park Gets
$600,000 In Transport Grants
Gas Stations
It's that time of year when
we inspect gas stations with-
in the city. It's an occasion
to confirm signage is being
maintained at pump islands,
underground tank paper
work and testing procedures
are up-to-date, and repair
facilities are being utiHzed
safely. It's during these one
or two visits a year when we
attempt to sell safety. After
all, it's management that
sets the trend throughout the
year, while safety pays.
The presence of up-to-
date permits and licenses
confirms that the property
and or tanks are still actively
being used and maintained
as required by the state's
regulations. Particularly as
this applies to maintaining
underground tanks, frequent
testing is required of under-
ground tanks and those test
results generate the permits
thus permission to continue
their use.
Once in place, while
meeting the requirements
of the regulations, pump is-
lands are established while
maintaining proper signage
there is important. Those
signs remind patrons and
employees that engines
should be shutoff while fuel
is pumped and smoking
should not take place within
25 feet of the pumping is-
land. On self-service islands
hold open devices on pump
nozzles should be disabled
as well.
Within the gas station
itself, suppression devices
and fire extinguishers must
be maintained as required.
These are potentially proac-
tive tools should there be a
small fire at these locations.
If small fires can be safely
approached by employees
prior to a fire getting out of
hand, further damage and
devastation can be avoided.
We confirm that emer-
gency shutoff devices are
adequately marked within
the office area. Our concern
being, should an employee
need to shut dow n the pumps
during an emergency, he or
she can do so without hesita-
tion knowmg those switches
are boldly labeled.
Within repair areas of
the station, general house-
keeping can reflect manage-
ment's commitment towards
a safe work environment.
Waste oil containers should
be marked, protected from
mechanical damage and
the immediate area around
them should show no sign
of spillage. Acetylene cyl-
inders should be stored up-
right and out of harms way
as well. Casual storage of
flammable and combustible
liquids must be avoided,
while combustibles of any
type must be at a minimum.
Fire prevention typically
comes down to isolating
potential ignition sources
from combustibles. This ap-
plies to gas stations as well.
Whether at the pumps or
within the repair shop area,
potential ignition sources,
cigarettes, torches or sparks,
and flammables and com-
bustibles must be separated
to avoid the possibility of
ignition.
During our visit we at-
tempt to sell management
on this view. We then hope
the theory is embraced.
Safety makes continued op-
eration of a facility possible
and helps keep employees
healthy.
We hope you agree.
Be safe!
The Adams National
Historical Park has been
awarded a $25().0(K) grant
for a transportation study
and business plan that sup-
ports overland trolleys, wa-
terfront ferry service and
public transpt)rts.
And $35(),0(K) more is in
the pipeline for the design
and permitting of a dock
and float system at Squan-
tum Point/Adams Landing
to receive ferries from the
Harbor Islands and serve as
a transfer point for visitors
to Quincy historical sites.
Funding for the trans-
portation study grant comes
from Fiscal 2008 appro-
priations for the Paul S.
Sarbanes Transit in Parks
program that funds capital
and planning expenses for
alternative transportation
systems in parks and public
lands.
"This type of funding is a
welcome and crucial step as
part of our effort to reinvent
our tourism infrastructure,"
said Congressman Bill Dela-
hunt, a staunch supporter of
the Massachusetts Cultural
Coast regional concept of
highlighting tourism.
"Improving trolley and
ferry access to the Adams
National Histoncal Park, the
Boston Harbor Islands and
the other local treasures ot
the Massachusetts Cultural
Coast will spur ever larger
numbers of people to visit
and enjoy the spectacular
historic and natural vistas
right here in our backyard."
Funding for the dock and
float system design has been
committed by the Massa-
chusetts Seaport Advisory
Council
"The project is a great
example of what we can do
when state leadership work
in synchronization with our
federal delegation." said Lt
Gov Tim Murray
"With the (Sarbanes)
funds and the Seaport Advi-
sory Council grant vse will
help make these national
parks and the educational a
recreational facilities they
provide that much more ac-
cessible to the residents of
the Commonwealth."
Marianne Peak empha-
sized that "the critical im-
portance of this grant is to
work in partnership for an
important transportation op-
portunity for this communi-
ty and for visitors to a large
area of Massachusetts.
"The purpose of this
planning effort is to develop
alternatives for development
ot a financially sustainable
expanded transportation sy s
tem for lour national parks,
including Adams .NHR he
Boston Harbor Islands. .New
Bedford Whaling National
Historical Park and Cape
Cod National Seashore.
"This study will provide
the park with a business
plan for transportation serv-
ing the visitor and the com-
munity '
The study will identity
options for a transportation
hub at Adams Landing that
could also serve as a wel-
coming educafon center
and develop a strategy to
engage parks and partners in
the operation of an expand-
ed alternative transportation
system
Presently the Adams

shuttle service using trolley
buses that has not only re-
sulted in increased visitation
but helps in managing the

A Job Well Done
On Tuesday, April 28, at approximately 6:30 p.m..
Officer John Mclsaac was dispatched to West Quincy
on a domestic violence call.
Upon arrival, the officer in-
terviewed a female resident,
who had dried blood around
her nose and smudged blood
along her forearm. She stated
that she had an argument with
her boyfriend in their bed-
room and the incident turned
violent when the boyfriend
asked her to hand him a tis-
sue.
After handing him the tis-
sue, the boyfriend/suspect
grew angry, accusing her of not holding the tissue close
enough to his nose so that he could blow into the tissue.
She told him to hold the tissue himself and upon hear-
ing this, the suspect then punched her in the nose, which
resulted in profuse bleeding.
She left the room to tend to her own nose, then re-
turned to show her boyfriend what he did to her, in hopes
that she would apologize. The boyfriend then sprang off
the bed and forced her into the comer of the room, stood
over her and angrily said, "Try to get out of here."
The victim crouched for self-protection, then tried
to escape the room, but the suspect kicked her left leg,
temporarily staggering her before she was able to flee
the residence. The victim then went to a friend's home,
who called the police.
According to the friend, this was not the first time
the victim fled from her boyfriend after being assaulted.
Officer Mclsaac also learned that the boyfriend has an
alcohol and Oxycontin substance abuse problem.
Officer Mclsaac returned to the scene of the crime
and arrested the boyfriend, a 42-year-old Quincy resi-
dent of the charges of "Domestic Assault and Battery
and Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon,
(shod foot) The Officer then assisted the victim in ob-
taining an emergency restraining order.
Nice Work!
Q
On Monday, April 27, at approximately 7:45 a.m..
Officers A. J. Carthas and Matt Hockney were dis-
patched to Woodbine Street for an unknown trouble call .
Dispatch informed the officers that there was a language
barrier and they were trying to get additional informa-
fion. Upon arrival, the officers were unable to get any-
one to answer the door initially, but after a short delay, a
female answered the door. She denied calling the police,
said that she just got out of the shower was unaware of
any problem.
When asked if anyone else was in the house, she said
that her roommates were upstairs and pointed to the
stairs. At this time. Dispatch told the Officers that the
call was a domestic disturbance between a husband and
wife . Once upstairs, the female pointed to the door of the
married couple. The door opened and a female emerged,
visibly upset and crying. Officer Carthas led this female
into the kitchen and asked her what happened.
Officer Hockney went into the bedroom to speak
to her husband. The female victim said that she asked
her husband to make sure the lights were turned off in
the laundry room and he said he would.
Minutes later, she asked him again if he had checked
on the lights and it was at this point that the husband be-
came extremely upset. He began yelling at her and then
hit her in the head three times with a closed fist. She then
showed the officer where her husband hit her. Based
on this information, the officers placed the husband, a
24-year-old Quincy resident, under arrest on the charge
of "Domestic Assault and Battery."
The wife was offered a restraining order but declined.
She was encouraged to re-think her choice and given
information explaining her options.

TooKit Collection' To Help Women Of Darfur
For many people, there's
nothing like "Mom's home
cooking."
But what if your Mom (or
sister, or daughter, or female
cousin and female friend),
not only did not have the re-
sources with which to cook,
but also put her life on the
line every time she went out
to gather cooking supplies?
For the women of Darfur,
this horror is a daily reality.

Church wanted to know
what they - people living
half a world away - could
do to help. The answer is
simple: all it takes is alu-
minum foil and a cardboard
box.
"These two simple, ev-
eryday things can literally
be life saving," said Rev.
Dr. Susan F. Jarek-Glidden,
pastor of the church, "be-
cause they can build a solar
cooker.
"It's called a 'CooKit'
and it's easily assembled
by hand. The CooKit con-
verts sunlight into heat,
which then cooks food. As
a result, women no longer
have to leave the safety of
the refugee camps to gather
firewood, and can feed their
families.
The United Methodist
Women of Quincy Com-
munity United Methodist
Church, one of the church's
1hree women's groups, have
taken the CooKit as one of
their mission projects. They
invite everyone to help the
women of Darfur by raising
money for CooKits.
"The Solar Cooker Proj-
ect was started by Jewish
World Watch," said Mer-
rie Eaton, president of the
United Methodist Women.
"Quincy Community Unit-
ed Methodist Church will
be among the first United
Methodist Churches to par-
ticipate in this important
cause."
A CooKit costs very lit-
tle: $30 buys 2 cookers for
one family (one is used for
water, sauce, or vegetables;
the other for sorghum, the
main food distributed by the
World Food Programme);
$150 buys 10 cookers for
5 families; $300 buys 20
cookers for 10 families.
The collection will begin
Sunday on Mother's Day,
and will continue through
Sunday, May 24.
"The choice of dates is
deliberate," said Dr. Jarek-
Glidden. "You can honor
your Mom and/or the wom-
en in your life by helping
to save women's lives in
Darfur. I know that's a gift
my own Mom will really ap-
preciate."
To contribute to the
CooKit Collection, send a
gift to Quincy Community
United Methodist Church,
40 Beale St., Quincy, MA
02170. Indicate the gift is
for the CooKit collection.

Protecting
Outdoor Wood
Furniture
Q:
A friend told
me that my new
wooden lawn furniture
would "cure" best if I just
let it sit out in the yard
through all four seasons.
My dad told me to put wa-
terproof sealant on the fur-
niture. What do you think?
- Cherie in Columbia, Md.
A^ Which advice to
• follow depends
mainly on what type of wood
from which your lawn furni-
ture is constructed. A durable,
usually tropical, hardwood
like mahogany or teak should
not be treated with anything
other than the occasional
cleaning with wood soap
and water. Furniture made
of this material will weather
gracefully outside and even
handles cold, snowy winters
well. The wood often turns
gray in a fairly short period,
but as long as it's kept clean
and out of constantly damp
conditions, it will stay ser-
viceable for many years.
Redwood or cedar fur-
niture should be protected
with a clear water sealer.
These woods also can be
painted (with enamel paint)
or stained, but most owners
only do so to cover a mark or
discoloration - otherwise let
the natural wood grain show
through the sealer coat. Bring
this type of furniture inside
for the winter, or at least
move to a fairly dry location
and cover with a tarp.
Pine furniture also can be
coated with water sealer, but
painting or staining the wood
is an equally good option.
Store it indoors through the
winter or cover up to reduce
weathering problems.
HOME TIP: Cleaning
those big outdoor-furniture
cushions after a long win-
ter? Scrub them with a large
acrylic brush and soapy wa-
ter, hang on a clothesline or

perfect time to convert that
space into an entertainment
venue you will be proud to
show off and where you will
be able to spend your free
time comfortably.
Many of the projects can
be completed with the help
of your local ARA-member
rental store. Renting tools
to complete the job can
save you money and stor-
age space after the job is
finished. Rental stores also
offer expert advice on using
equipment safely and effi-
ciently.
Begin by deciding what
you need to do to make your
basement the most comfort-
able place in your house.
Plan a timeline with all the
steps, including areas where
you may need additional
help from a professional .
Here is a list of steps to
complete a basement reno-
vation from start to finish:
1. Check to see what
building permits may be
needed. Every city is dif-
ferent, and you don't want
to start any do-it-yourself
home project without being
certain you have all the nec-
essary permits.
2. Moisture-proof walls
and floors. Often, moisture
in a basement is a result
of poor drainage outside.
Rent a skid-steer to cor-
rect the grade outside your
house. The ground around
your house should fall away
from the foundation at least
6 inches within the first 10
feet around the perimeter of
the home.
3. Frame walls, rooms
and ceiling. Renting a pneu-
matic nailer will make the
job move quickly.
4. Rough in electrical,
plumbing, cable and tele-
phone connections. This is
an area where you may want
professional help. If you
work on these projects your-
self, rent a conduit bender
to run wires, and a voltage
meter to test your installed
wiring.
5. Schedule electrical and
plumbing inspections.
6. Install insulation and
vapor barrier. This will help
keep your basement warm
and dry.
7. Install dry wall, sand,
tape and prime it. Dry wall
gives a finished look to a
space but can be difficult to
install. Rent a dry wall router
or a keyhole saw to cut cor-
ners and special angles flaw-
lessly.
8. Add flooring. If you
choose carpet, be sure to
add enough padding to
make it as comfortable as
possible. You can rent a car-
pet stretcher and install the
carpet yourself. Or choose
hardwood to add warmth to
the space. For wood floors,
you can rent a pneumatic
floor nailer to speed the job
along.
9. Paint the walls. Rent-
ing a paint sprayer will
make the job quick and give
you the professional results
you want.
10. Install trim, molding
and baseboards. Rent a com-
pound miter saw for cutting
perfect comers.
11. Put in light fixtures.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Rent a hole
saw to install can lights in
the ceiling, expanding the
space.
12. Get final inspections
and enjoy your new space!
Renting tools from an
ARA-member rental store
will stretch your budget dol-
lars further, and \he exper-
tise of the rental store staff
will make doing the project
yourself easy.
The pride for your newly
finished basement will be
yours to own forever. Most
everything else? Well, that
you can rent! To find your
local ARA-member rental
store, visit www.RentalHQ.
com, the world's largest
rental store locator. You can
search by geographic loca-
tion and by the specific type
of equipment you are look-
ing to rent.

How To Make A Big Splash
With A Small Yard
(ARA) - A baby boom-
er couple downsizing, a
working professional's
downtown city condo, and
a young family's starter
home in a metro suburb
- the trend of people mov-
ing to smaller homes with
smaller yards continues
to grow. If you are one of
them, how do you make
the most out of your small
outdoor green space? With
the right tools and strate-
gies, you'll find the possi-
bilities are endless.
"When people move to
smaller homes, they want
to make the most of the
green space they have,"
says Ashton Ritchie, lawn
expert and master gardener
for Scotts. "They still want
that outdoor retreat after a
stressful day."
Ritchie says that small-
er yards can be some of
the most stunning because
they require less time and
homeowners can focus
more on what they really
enjoy. "The difference is
with a small green space,
it's not an overwhelming
full-time job. I've seen
many beautiful small yards
with intensive gardening
and great landscaping."
Here are Ritchie's tips
for getting the most out of
small outdoor green spac-
es:
1. Make it your own.
If you want to create
an outdoor retreat, a small
yard holds many possibili-
ties. Your priority should be
deciding how you are go-
ing to use your yard. If you
enjoy cooking, have much
of your space dedicated to
a great vegetable and herb
garden. If you want to use
your space to unwind at
the end of the day, create
an outdoor room with re-
laxation elements. If you
plan to use your small yard
as an additional space for
entertainment, incorporate
sitting space and tables for
overflow from the house.
2. Use contrast to your
advantage.
The nice thing about a
small lawn is the contrast
you can easily achieve in
the foliage. Lush green
grass is the foundation
that contrasts with the col-
ors and textures of other
plants. Keep your lawn vi-
brant and consider planting
flowers, shrubbery or an
herb garden. The contrast
in these elements provides
as visual frame that is very
appealing.
3. Fertilize for a green
and beautiful lawn.
Green grass provides us
with a soothing, relaxing
feeling. But the No. 1 prob-
lem with grass is it ends up
malnourished and starves.
Therefore it's important to
fertilize four to five times a
year so you get strong root
and top growth.
People with small yards
don't want to bother with
bulky bags of fertilizer
and storage of a spreader.
Scotts Turf Builder with
Built-in Spreader is a great
new solution. The hand-
held, all-in-one container
is simple to use — simply
flip the s()out, tilt and shake
onto your lawn. The fertil-
izer strengthens the lawn
and promotes a healthy
root system. It feeds a lawn
up to 1 ,000 square feet. If
you finish and have extra,
the small container is easy
to store for use next time.
4. Outdoor decor adds
appeal .
Consider adding ele-
ments to your yard that in-
terject your personal style.
For example, adding a wa-
ter feature is a great idea
that is visually appealing
plus it adds a water sound
that creates a relaxing at-
mosphere. You could also
add a bird feeding station
to attract wildlife. If room
is very limited, consider a
small hummingbird feeder.
Be creative and get ideas
from your local gardening
center.
5. Use space-saving
furniture.
Small spaces do not
call for big and bulky out-
door furniture. Benches
can be a good option be-
cause they seat multiple
people and also take up
less space. Look for pieces
that are multifunctional
like a bench or table that
also opens up to provide
storage space. Finally,
make sure furniture can
withstand temperatures all
year long since it probably
won't be stored in a differ-
ent location.
Small yards can provide
big beauty with these tips
and strategies. Visit www.
Scotts.com where you can
read Ashton Ritchie's blog
and get other ideas for
maximizing small green
spaces.

The Hidden
Costs of Major
Appliances
With budget cutbacks
acrThe true price of a major
appliance is what it costs to
take out of the store, plus what
it costs to run it once you get
it home. Since appliances can
account for a hefty portion of
your monthly power bill, the
lower price of an appliance
on sale might not be much of
a bargain if you end up pay-
ing higher electric bills for
the next 10 years.
Before you buy a new
major appliance, look at the
energy-rating info. Laws re-
quire that manufacturers put
Energy Guide labels on all
major appliances. The labels
must include the results of
independent laboratory tests
and information such as the
capacity and estimated annu-
al electrical consumption for
a particular model, as well
as for comparable models.
EnergyStar appliances must
additionally be much more
efficient than other average
models. (For more informa-
tion, see www.energystar.
gov.)
The U.S. Department of
Energy has a Web site loaded
with energy-saving infonna-
tion. At www.energysavers.
gov, click on Appliances and
Electronics, and look for Esti-
mating Appliance and Home
Electronic Energy Use. Ap-
llllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllll
ply the formula to calculate
the energy used by your cur-
rent appliances and electron-
ics, as well as any you intend
to buy. Remember to add in
your "phantom" loads: appli-
ances that use electricity even
when they're turned off. Ex-
amples of this are televisions
and computers. (To turn them
completely off, cut the power
via a power strip.) A big ques-
tion among computer users is
whether to turn the computer
off during the day or to leave
it on. A rule of thumb is to
turn off the monitor if you
won't use it for 20 minutes,
and both the monitor and
computer if you won't use
them for two hours.
At EERE.Energy.gov, you
can download a PDF booklet
that covers saving energy,
your home's energy use,
heating and cooling, win-
dows, lighting, appliances,
major appliances shopping
guide and more.
Before you buy a major
appliance, look online for
ratings. If you subscribe to
Consumer Reports, you can
purchase yearly access to its
online database of test re-
sults and recommendations.
(It's a few dollars less if
you already subscribe to the
magazine.) You can also buy
a one-month subscription if
you're not likely to use the
service for a whole year.

(ARA) - Economic un-
certainty. A changing po-
litical climate. Decreas-
ing consumer confidence.
Americans today have a lot
to be anxious about - and
the need for escape is great-
er than ever. No place is this
need more evident than in
the home.
According to Judy Riley,
Moen's vice president of
design, the home is looked
to as the primary place for
comfort and serenity dur-
ing times of unrest. "With
decreased entertainment
budgets and the growing
trend toward entertaining
in the home, Americans are
spending a lot more time in-
doors," says Riley. "Today's
home is for much more than
eating and sleeping - it is
an escape from the outside
world."
What are the latest trends
in the modem escape home?
More importantly, how can
you transform your home
into a safe haven with both
style and smarts?
The Hub of the Home
Kitchens have come a
long way in the past several
years, and they continue to
evolve more into the fam-
ily gathering place than ever
before. "The kitchen is the
center of connectivity for
today's family — not only
physically, but also digital-
ly," says Riley. "The kitchen
is where we socialize, check
email, surf the Web, watch
television and charge every-
thing from the cell phone to
the iPod."
With the kitchen as the
home's nucleus, it's impor-
tant to incorporate design
elements that fit this specific
purpose. Today's kitchen
lends itself to a more flex-
ible, open plan than ever
before, with ample counter
space and wiring to support
all of the family's gadgets. It
also requires more seating,
from high-top bar stools to
casual table dining.
As the most frequented
space in the house, it's im-
portant to incorporate items
into your kitchen that fit
your family's personal-
ity - items that are both
functional and fashionable.
Moen's Level kitchen fau-
cet features sleek and con-
temporary lines that help
to make a bold statement at
the sink. Plus, the faucet's
pulldown wand simplifies
everyday tasks, such as fill-
ing large pots, pitchers and
vases, making your work
that much simpler.
Serene and Green
Like the kitchen, today's
bathroom, is taking on a va-
riety of functions, acting as
a setting for both wellness
and rejuvenation. Consum-
ers aim to achieve a peace-
ful environment by staying
conscious of their impact on
the environment and consid-
ering potential energy and
cost savings in the bath.
Green has become part of
the dialogue for homeown-
ers as they weigh product
features and functions, with
many seeking to understand
a product's impact on the
environment before mak-
ing a purchase. "Although
consumers want to do their
part to be green, they aren't
willing to sacrifice a prod-
uct's performance to do so,"
Riley says. "For example,
they might want a low-flow
showerhead, but not a weak
shower experience."
Moen's Envi Eco-Perfor-
mance showerhead takes
both of these desires into
consideration. With three
uiiique spray settings and a
flow rate of 1 .75 gallons per
minute (gpm) - 30 percent
less than the industry stan-
dard 2.5 gpm - homeown-
ers can have a guilt-free,
superior shower experience
every day. Modified spray
formers increase the veloc-
ity of water streams hitting
the body, which allows Envi
to treat users to a full, sat-
isfying and relaxing spray
- all while saving water.
"Achieving both a greener
and more relaxing shower
has never been easier," says
Riley.
Party Central
Entertaining and din-
ing are coming home this
year, and spaces need to be
adaptable in order to ac-
commodate multiple func-
tions and different types of
get-togethers. Transforming
products, such as a dining
room table that rises to bar
height and expands for en-
tertaining, like the Lexing-
ton Zacara Movida Bistro
Table, gives an ordinary
object a greater purpose.
It's suitable for both fam-
ily meals and celebrations
at the lower height with a
leaf extension in place, and
can also serve well for a
wine tasfing, cocktail party
or a night of poker when set
higher and more bistro-like.
"Flexibility within the home
allows you to create a vari-
ety of moods and settings
for entertaining," says Ri-
ley. "The goal is to be able
to easily transition from ca-
sual to formal, while main-
taining a style and comfort
level that's suitable for each
occasion."
What will tomorrow
bring for your home? By
incorporafing 2009's best
trends into your living
space, you can ensure it re-
mains your refuge for years
to come.

The North Quincy Red

last week by dropping a 4-0
Patriot League contest to
Duxbury High School, but
with two wins earlier in the
week, the Raiders are just
one win away from their first
state toumament appearance
in the last seven years.
One more victory (the

a game-winning fifth in-
ning RBI single off the bat
of Ainsley. With one out in
the fifth, senior Matt Rodri-
guez walked and stole sec-
ond base. After a fly out ac-
counted for the second out of
the frame, Rodriguez moved
to third on a passed ball and
Ainsley drove him home
with a single to right field.
Senior Joe Edgerly was
masterful on the hill. He
threw six innings, allowed a
fourth inning run and struck
out two batters. Ben Leahy
came on for the seventh and
struck out two batters to earn
the save.
The Raiders scored the
game's first run on a fourth
inning Lamonte Toombs
RBI double that scored Co-
lin Ryan. Ryan Louis and
Greg Nelson played solid
defense in the field for North
Quincy.
North Quincy improved
to 10-3 on the spring with a
7-4 win at Silver Lake HS at
the beginning of last week.
Louis picked up the win on
the mound (six-plus innings,
six hits, seven Ks, three
earned runs).
At the dish, senior Matt
Jay belted a three-run homer
and Toombs kncKked in two
more runs with a single in the
top of the seventh inning.
Rodriguez played solid
defense behind the plate and
finished the game with two
hits.

As girls' volleyball spikes
in popularity, a new survey
reveals that 50 percent of
Wisconsin female volley-
ball players are now playing
the sport year-round— an
approach that increases their
risk of injury.
Although more than
380,000 girls play high-
school volleyball nation-
wide, research on it is as
rare as an underhand serve.
Athlefic trainer Tim
McGuine, a researcher with
the University of Wisconsin
Sports Medicine Center, sur-
veyed more than 400 female
high-school volleyball play-
ers at 1 8 schools across Wis-
consin over the last year. He
collected information on
the number and type of in-
juries each athlete suffered,
whether or not they used an-
kle and/or knee braces while
playing, and how much time
they spent playing the sport
in off-season camps and
teams.
The results confirmed
several surprising facts and
trends:
• Fifty percent of players
surveyed are playing vol-
leyball year-round, on teams
and at camps.
• The most common in-
jury suffered by female
volleyball players is an
ankle sprain, followed
closely by knee sprains

PUTTING UP A
Discolored front teeth that
do not lend themselves to
tooth-whitening procedures
may benefit more from porce-
lain veneers. After a thin layer
of the front of the tooth is re-
moved, fingernail-thin shells
overlay the front of the teeth,
giving them a new fagade.
Enamel is removed from the
front of the tooth only to the
extent that it leaves sufficient
room to accept the veneer.
Aside from selecting a color for
the veneers to match natural
tooth color, the dentist and the
patient may agree to revise the
smile by choosing a more suit-
able tooth shape. Elongated,
round, and cun/y teeth sug-
gest femininity while square,
sharp-edged teeth are more
masculine. These factors may
come into play with worn or
nfiisshapen front teeth.
Your smile is one of the first
GOOD FRONT
things people notice about you.
A beautiful smith creates a
youthful appearance, projects
confidence and leaves a lasting
impression. We can help you
regain that smile. Please call us

Going Back
to Work
Perhaps you'd consid-
ered your paid-off home to
be the nest egg you'd sell
and use for retirement funds.
Or, maybe you had all your
money invested. Because of
the state of the economy, you
might be thinking now that it
will be necessary to go back
to work.
If that's the case, here
are some Web sites that can
help.
- Retirement Jobs (www.
RetirementJobs.com) is a
free service with a database
loaded with jobs for seniors.
Put in your ZIP code and a
few keywords and click GO.
Or click the category links
for positions in Sales, Real
Estate, Customer Service,
Admin/Clerical and more.
While the job bank is free,
by signing up for member-
ship, you get more than just
access to the job listings.
You'll get a free 50-page job
seeker's guide (via down-
load) that covers topics such
as planning your job search,
finding employers friendly
to seniors and polishing up
your resume. Additionally,
with a paid membership you
get access to live online ca-
reer workshops on Tuesday
nights.
- Experience Works
(www.experienceworks.
org), a Department of Labor
program, puts low-income
seniors over 55 to work in
community-service jobs in
30 states.
- Don't forget AARP
(www.aarp.org). Put "jobs"
in the search box, and you'll
find a wealth of articles and
helpful information about
finding jobs.
- Senior Community Ser-
vice Employment Program
(www.doleta.gov/seniors),
through the Department of
Labor, operates in all 50
states. It provides training
for seniors who seek employ-
ment.
Does it make you nervous
to think about applying for a
job and competing with those
who are many years young-
er? Consider this: We have
experience; we don't need as
much training for jobs; we're
responsible and often we'll
take a part-time job. That
makes us perfect as job can-
didates, don't you think?

Hormone

Can Generate
Migraines
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My daughter, who is 41, has
been getting really bad mi-
graine headaches just be-
fore her periods. Is it due to
menopause? - VM.
ANSWER: Her headaches
are not due to menopause.
They come from her menstrual
cycle, and they're called men-
strual migraines. A migraine
sufferer often can identify
things that give rise to a head-
ache - foods, alcohol, physi-
cal exertion, too little sleep,
too much sleep, hunger, bright
lights and loud noise. For quite
a few women, menstrual peri-
ods trigger the headache. The
sudden drop in the female hor-
mone estrogen that takes place
at the time of a menstrual pe-
riod precipitates headaches in
these women.
Your daughter can take
medicine prior to her anticipat-
ed menstrual period to prevent
the headache. Naprosyn or one
of the many other nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, taken
two days before the period be-
gins, often can avert menstrual
migraines. They should be tak-
en for as long as the headache
has lasted in the past.
Another approach is birth-
control pills. The ones that
stop periods for six months to
a year are particularly useful.
Seasonale and Lybrel are two
such preparations.
Most migraine sufferers are
aware of the triptan drugs -
medicines that have had a huge
impact on migraine treatment.
There are seven such drugs,
and I won't mention them all.
Maxalt and Relpax are two
of these drugs. The triptans
should be used as the anti-
inflammatory drugs are used
~ two days before onset of
periods and continued for the
ing.
But it's the increase in sin-
gle-sport specialization that
most concerns McGuine,
who notes that constantly
subjecting a young athlete's
ankles, knees and spines to
the impact of frequent jumps
on the hardwood floor can
cause problems.
"Too many athletes have
gotten the message that they
can become better volley-
ball players just by playing
more," says McGuine. "But
that approach can actually
lead to an increase in inju-
ries, when what's more like-
ly needed is an adjustment
in technique and some pre-
season conditioning."
To McGuine, the results
of the study emphasize the
need to focus on injury-pre-
vention strategies.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My 21 -year-old grandson
has weighed 130 pounds for
the past six years in spite of
drinking protein shakes, tak-
ing weight-gain pills and eat-
ing rich, calorie-laden foods.
He is 6 feet 1 inch tall. Why
can't he gain weight? His
self-esteem is zero because of
his appearance. He loves to
swim but is ashamed to ap-
pear in bathing trunks.
A doctor told him to live
with it. Is that the answer?
Any help you can give will be
appreciated. - D.T.
ANSWER: Your grandson
isn't on the lean side. He is tru-
ly skinny. If this isn't a family
trait, it needs to be looked into
more seriously.
Malabsorption syndromes
should be considered. These
are illnesses where nutrients
cannot pass through the intes-
tinal wall into the body. Celiac
disease is an example. There
are many more. Granted, most
of these illnesses have other
symptoms but, at times, those
other symptoms can be so mild
that they're ignored.
Trouble with endocrine
glands is another possibility.
The thyroid gland, the adre-
nal glands, the testes and the
ovaries have important roles in
growth and development.
Genetic illnesses consd-
tute a group of disorders that
can manifest with nutritional
signs.
I have many pat answers
on how to gain weight. Your
grandson needs more than pat
answers.

ARTHRITIC
Arthritis can affect the feet
and ankles. It Is the inflamma-
tion of one or more joints that
results in pain, swelling, stiff-
ness, and limited movement.
Occurhng in men and women
of all ages, arthritis is caused by
the breakdown of the cartilage
that normally protects a joint
and allows for smooth move-
ment. Cartilage also absorbs
shock when pressure is placed
on a joint (such as when walk-
ing). Without the usual amount
of cartilage, bones rub together
(such as when walking). With-
out the usual amount of carti-
lage, bones rub together, caus-
ing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Broken bones, general "wear
and tear" on joints, and infection
can all influence arthritis. Exer-
cise is necessary to maintain
healthy joints, reduce pain and
fatigue, and improve muscle
and bone strength. Low-impact
CONDITION
aerobic activities are ideal.
Because your feet are the
foundation of your entire body
keeping them strong, healthy
and pain-free is fundamental
to your well-being. When foot
problems do occur, correcting
them early on often leads to the
correction of problems in other
parts of the body Whether
you're dealing with the chronic
pain of arthritis or the sudden
impact of a fracture, treat your
feet to the t)est of care - call us
at 781-986-3668 for a consul-
tation at QUINCY f\^EDICAL
CENTER. Office hours are also
available at 999 North Main St.,
in the Randolph Medical Office
Building, and Milton Medical
Building in Suite 221 .
PS. Joints normally contain
a lubricant called synovial fluid.
In joints with arthritis, this fluid
is not produced in adequate
amounts.

Trip time
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You might be tempted to be
more assertive when dealing
with a job-related matter. But
a carefully measured approach
works best at getting the coop-
eration you're looking for.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
While others urge you to act
now, you instinctively recog-
nize that a move at this time is
not in your best interests. You
should know when to do so by
week's end.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
A busy schedule keeps you on
the move for much of the week.
But things ease up by the time
the weekend arrives, allowing
you to reconnect with family
and friends.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Travel dominates the week,
and despite some delays in get-
ting to where you want to go,
the overall experience should
prove to be a pxjsitive one in
many ways.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Your Leonine self-confidence
comes roaring back after a brief
period of doubt and helps you
get through a week of demand-
ing challenges and ultimately
emerge triumphant.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) Virgos who have made
a major commitment - per-
sonal or professional - should
be able to tap into a renewed
reservoir of self-confidence to
help them follow through.
LIBRA (September 23 to Octo-
ber 22) You could soon receive
news from a surprising source
that could cause you to change
your mind about how you had
planned to deal with an ongo
ing job-related problem.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) A surprise move of
support from a colleague who
has never been part of your cir-
cle of admirers helps influence
others to take a new look at
what you've put on the table.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) While a
bold decision to take an "I know
what I'm doing" approach im-
presses some colleagues, it also
raises the risk of causing re-
sentment among others.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) A misunder-
standing 'twixt you and a friend
might not be your fault at all,
despite what he or she sug-
gests. Talk it out to see at what
point the confusion might have
started.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Getting into a
community operation fulfills
the Aquarian's need to help
people. It also can lead to new
contacts that might one day
help you with a project.
PISCES (February 1 9 to March
20) A minor problem could de-
lay the start of a long-anticipat-
ed trip for two. Use the time to
recheck your travel plans. You
might find a better way to get
where you're going.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are
a dedicated romantic who seeks
both excitement and stability in
your relationships.

BLESSING OF THE ANCHOR - The Rev. Ann Suzedell bless-
es the anchor of the Quincv-built USS Des Moines, the center-
piece of the Fore River Rotary in Quincv Point. The dedica-
tion honored the individuals who were part of the shipbuilding
industry and the people who served the United States in the
vessels that were built at the former Fore River Shipyard. The
blessing was one of the highlights of "Making Waves in Quincy
Point," a maritime festival Saturday celebrating Quincy Point
pride and maritime history. Among the guests attending the
celebration were (behind Rev. Suzedell) Dr. Richard DeCris-
tofaro, school superintendent: his mother. Betty DeCristofa-
ro, wife of the late Ward 2 Councillor Ted DeCristofaro: and
Shane Murphy of Seekonk, first mate of the cargo ship Maersk
Alabama which fought off an April 8 attack by pirates off the
Somali coast. Murphy, who also worked at the former Quincy
shipyard, took charge of the ship when ("apt. Richard Phillips
was taken hostage by the pirates. Other photos on Page 32.

The Ordinance Commit-

approved a wind facilities
ordinance to the delight of
some 60 to 70 proponents
who waved pinwheels
about at City Hall and car-

The ordinance will regu-

in the city. Proposed wind
turbines of less than 250
feet will require a permit
after site plan review; those
exceeding 250 feet must
qualify for a special permit.
Prior to the Ordinance
Committee's vote, wind
power supporters lined up,
nearly two dozen in all, at
the City Council's Public

to move quickly on the wind

$1.7 million in savings ne-
gotiated with city adminis-
trators and other union em-
ployees who agreed to $ 1 .7
million in raise deferrals.
Koch praised the fire-
fighters as the "first to take
the wage deferral ," but even
with wage deferrals, there
will be major reductions.
The library budget will
be cut $28 1 ,000, the Depart-
ment of Public Works by
$994,000, Parks and Forest-
ry by $186,000, Recreation

Technology by $210,000.
Koch plans the purchase
of six police cruisers at
$300,000 and an increase in
the snow and ice budget to
$600,000.
In addition, the sum-
mer jobs program will be
scrapped under Koch's bud-
get which only funds sala-
ries for playground leaders.
Koch described the con-
servative estimates used in
the 2010 budget calcula-
tions to reach 2010 revenues
of $234,178,751.
This anticipates a $7
million or 15% cut in state
aid while growth is estimat-
ed at $2.1 million, and local
receipts at $19.93 million
(down $500,000) with all
other local revenue stable at
$5.5 million.
Koch credited the coun-
cil and city employees with
a major impact on budget
savings and containment.
He cited the employees'
voluntary raise deferrals and
their "landmark agreement
to join the state Group In-
surance Commission."
According to Koch, join-
ing the state's insurance plan
not only saves $6 million in
health care costs, but, also,
"We'd be looking at $4 mil-
lion in increases this year."
Koch cited other savings
of $400,000 through the
city's tri-town trash collec-
tion
According to Koch, his
administration uncovered
and solved numerous finan-
cial problems in the past
year, ranging from $ 1 .7 mil-
lion in unfunded employee
contracts, $1.7 million un-
funded debt payment, $4.1
million in unfunded costs
for the Honeywell project
as well as millions in misal-
locafion of water and sewer
fees.

Grateful Survivor Thanks Firefighters Before Going Home
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Fire destroyed lerri
Knight's life and stole her
husband and two infants but
she is still alive and grateful
to Quincy firefighters.
When Knight knew she'd
be heading back to Okla-
homa this week after seven
weeks of treatments for her
own burns, there was one
thing she and her family
wanted to do.
"They wanted to say
thank you before returning
to Oklahoma," said Knight's
attorney Bill Kennedy.
Knight and her family
wanted Quincy 's firefighters
to know they appreciated
the dangers the firefighters
faced in the devastating fire
on March 25 and the efforts
they made to save her and
her family.
So last Saturday, Knight
walked into Quincy Fire De-
partment headquarters and
met the 30 firefighters of
Group 3 who answered the
two-alarm fire that Wednes-
day.
"It was nice to see her
physically walk into the
station," said Deputy Chief
Gary Smyth, adding that
for Knight and the firefight-
ers, "There weren't a lot of
words. She did shake every
members' hand. She was
weak and quiet. Somehow
this helped."
"It was emotional for
all of us to see her. I hope
it was comforting for her,"
said Smyth who introduced
Knight to Dan Sullivan.
"During the search and
rescue firefighter Dan Sul-
livan detected a breath and
found (Knight) was still
alive. He met with her."
Knight returned to Enid,
OK, Tuesday. There, in a
city at the edge of the Great
Plains, she will try to heal

Hearing Monday On Zoning Changes To Quincy Center District
A City Council public
hearing on zoning changes
to the Quincy Center district
proposed by Mayor Thomas
Koch's administration will
be held Monday night fol-
lowing the Planning Board's
review this week.
The Planning Board held
a hearing on the proposed
changes-aimed at setting the
table for the City's $1 bil-
lion redevelopment plans-
on Wednesday.
"We continue to move
this historic project forward,
and 1 am so proud of all the
work we have been able
to complete to date," said
Koch. "This project will
bring Quincy unprecedented
private investment and un-
precedented new jobs. And
these zoning changes are an
important part of the equa-
tion."
The changes are largely
meant to match the City's
zoning code with its Ur-
ban Renewal Plan, the plan
guiding redevelopment
downtown. The changes
would allow developers to
seek a special permit from
the Planning Board to con-
struct buildings as high as
20 stones, compared to the
15 stories allowed by right
today.
The changes would also
give the Planning Board au-
thority over parking issues
and signage in the dow ntow n
district in provisions keep-
ing with the overall intent to
make the Planning Board the
primary permitting-granting
authority downtown.
The administration and
the team from Street-Works
Development are in the mid-
dle of a two-month series of
public meetings on long-
term development plans for
Quinc) Center. A schedule
is available on the Cit\"s
website at w ww.ci.quinc}.
ma. iiN .
"These meetings have
truly been one of the most
positive experiences I've
had as .Mayor." Koch said
"People are enthusiastic
They are informed And the
questions have been serK)us
and challenging."

Saluting Henry Bos worth: A Proud Quincy Pointer
(/ had the honor and privilege of representing
my father, Henry Bosworth, at Saturday's "Making
Waves in Quincy Point - A Salute to Shipbuilders
and Sailors. " I want to personally extend my thanks
to the Rev. Ann Suzedell, pastor of Quincy Point
Congregational Church and the coordinator of Sat-
urday's event, for inviting me to participate . Below
is the text of the speech that was given.)
I am indeed honored today to represent my father,
Henry Bosworth.
1 am sure he would have been thrilled to be a part
of such a joyous and festive celebration of Quincy
Point Pride.
And I'm positive that he is looking down today
and smiling at all of you for your kind remem-
brance.
I want to thank Rev. Ann Suzedell for the priv-
ilege of being a part of today's recognition of the
greatest generation.
Yes, my father was proud to be included in that
group. He was equally as proud to be known as a
Quincy Pointer and a World War II Navy veteran.
And Henry seldom, if ever, missed an opportu-
nity to show his Point Pride.
It was one of his favorite subjects of his much
anticipated Quincy Sun column, Sunbeams.
Most Quincy Sun readers know that my father's
last column before his sudden passing on Feb. 7 was
about Quincy Point.
Dad enjoyed reminiscing about the old neighbor-
hood, its people and certainly his fond memories
that stretched back to the days when he was just a
young boy.
That column touched on so many of his fond
memories of this area of the city.
Among them:
The Lincoln Theater - the Point's social center
- where families could watch wholesome entertain-
ment for as little as a dime.
Avalon Beach - with its rafts and clean water
waiting for you.
Engine 3 stationed at the Fire Station and a police
officer walking his beat - both offering residents a
sense of security.
And the stores of the day, including Zack's and
Stones and the A & P supermarket.
That column on the Point was the last piece of
writing Henry did.
And, although I didn't realize it at the time, it was
a simple drive through his beloved Quincy Point
that triggered those memories once again.
Two weeks before he died, I called my father on
a snowy Sunday.
A relative had passed away and I called my dad to

ask if he would like to attend the wake.
I didn't want him to drive his car on snow-slicked
streets.
Henry gratefully and enthusiastically accepted
my offer to give him a ride.
My wife Amy and I headed out the door and drove
from our home in Halifax to my parent's house in
Braintree.
We picked Henry up and soon the three of us were
headed to the funeral home in East Weymouth.
As we reached Quincy Point, the ride to the fu-
neral home became a trip down memory lane.
Driving down Southern Artery, Henry noted the
site of the old Pollard School. The school was one
of his favorite Sunbeams topics.
"There's where I went to elementary school," he
said to us as soft, fluffy flakes fell, the moment cap-
tured like we were inside a giant snow globe.
Actually, pointing out the Pollard School was
something each of his children heard driving with
dad back in the days when we were just kids.
For me, it became redundant and expected - to
the point that I would think to myself - "I bet he
mentions the Pollard School two seconds after we
get through this next intersection."
Regardless of the number of times we heard the
story, no one ever grew tired of hearing Henry's
fondness for his old school stomping grounds.
The Pollard School played a significant role in
Henry's future. It was there - while still a student
— that he decided to make journalism his career.
In fact, he had his first published by-line as a fifth
grader writing for the Quincy News, another daily
paper in the city at the time.
"From that day on," he wrote, "I knew what I
wanted to do."
So, without the Pollard School, there would be no
Henry Bosworth the journalist, the editor, the pub-
lisher and the founder of The Quincy Sun.
After the wake, we headed back toward Quincy
and crossed over the Fore River Bridge. We reached
the rotary - the subject of numerous columns about
the Granite Ball.
Henry was extremely instrumental in relocating
the sphere to its present location in front of City
Hall.
I still can recall former Ward 2 Councillor Ted
DeCristofaro - one of Henry's good friends over the
years - coming into the office every time Henry ad-
vocated moving the ball to City Hall.
"The People of Quincy Point love that ball and
want it right where it is, at the rotary," Ted empha-
sized.
"But the ball belongs where it was originally - in
front of City Hall," Henry reasoned.
Today, we know the ball is back at City Hall and
an anchor from the USS Des Moines serves as a
centerpiece of that rotary.
A fitting nautical memento and tribute to Quincy 's
great shipbuilding history, Henry wrote in a column
dating back more than two years ago.
He would have beamed with pride at the blessing
of the anchor today - and consumed by a sense that
everything is in its rightful place.
Driving back through the Point, Henry stared at
the fences and buildings that once comprised the
Fore River Shipyard.
His father worked at the shipyard and as a young
boy Henry got the chance to see some of the great
Navy warships launched, the thrill of seeing them
slide down and hit the water.
Some of the kids grew up to serve on some of
them during World War II. Others went to war and
served aboard other ships.
Henry was one of them. After graduating Quincy
High School in 1942, he enlisted in the Navy and
served from December, 1942 to January, 1946.
Most of those years were aboard the destroyer
USS Cogswell in the Pacific.
But Henry wasn't the only Bosworth from Quin-
cy Point to serve in the U.S. Navy.
His brother, Richard Bosworth, also enlisted in
the Navy during World War II and served aboard
another Fletcher destroyer, the USS Knapp in the
Philippines.
After the war was over, my Uncle Richie returned
home and finished his studies at Quincy High School
and graduated in 1947.
A few years later. Uncle Richie rejoined the Navy
to fight in the Korean War. He served aboard the
USS Hector as a chief petty officer.
So, in many ways, the Bosworth brothers are
bonded by the reasons we are here today:
Quincy Pointers who served their country and be-
came members of the Greatest Generation.
Of all the traditions and history that have en-
riched Quincy Point for generations, I know what
Henry would have underscored if he had been here
with us today.
He always emphasized that Quincy Point was a
"great melting pot" with bounding diversity.
Where many families of different nationalities
and religions settled: Italian, Jewish, Irish, Scottish,
Syrian, Lebanese, Arab, to name a few.
He was fond of saying: "You respected one an-
other and had no trouble getting along."
Henry felt fortunate to have his roots in Quincy
Point.
Quoting his final column, Henry wrote:
"It was a wonderful experience growing up
there.
"I guess there's a lot to that old saying:
"You can take the boy out of Quincy Point but
you can't take Quincy Point out of the boy."
Henry Bosworth was a part of the greatest gen-
eration because he was part of one of the city's great
neighborhoods: Quincy Point.
Thank you again for including his memory in
your salute to Quincy Point.
Henry would have been proud.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1909 real photo postcard of the Seal Rock Inn
that was perched high on the hill at the corner of Bellevue
Road and Bay Street on the east side of Squantum. It
overlooked Quincy Bay and a small group of rocks just
off the coast that were a favorite spot for harbor seals.
In this view, the inn appears decorated for a celebration
with flags, bunting and lanterns, perhaps the Fourth
of July. Open only in the summer its large windows
easily captured the cool ocean breezes. It was build in
the middle of the 19th century and was opened over 60
years when it was destroyed by fire a few years after

Transit Bill Faces
Test Of Contitutionality
By FRANK McCAULEY
Governor John Volpe's rapid transit bill submitted to the
House of Representatives today, despite its defeat in the
Senate last week, faces a constitutionality test if it is passed
in the legislature.
South Shore area representatives announced that the\ in-
tend to bring court action if the bill is signed into law Ihe
action to be taken by the towns of Weymouth and Hingham
is based on the fact that the towns would be responsible for
payment of the bond issue but would have no direct ser-
vices.
Meanwhile, South Shore repre-
sentatives, with the exception of Rep.
Joseph E. Brett (D-Quinc>). have
formed a block to oppose the bill
when it comes int(j the House.
Rep James .Mclntyre. in an 11' ^^^^^^^^^^^
hour tr> to prevent rapid transit com-
ing to the South Shore, sent a telegram to the governor ask-
ing him not to send down any legislation that residents of
the South Shore oppose.
COMMUNITIES MAP R.\PID TRANSIT FIGHT
The Quincy Citv Council met in special session to dis-
cuss the question of commuter transportation. City Council
President William C. Lllis called the special session "for
the purpose of discussion and action on the recent \()te in
the legislature foisting the Rapid Transit bill on Our Cit\ ot
Quincy."
"I called the meeting on short notice because I bclic\e
the situation in\ohes an emerizencv." President Ellis c\-
plained.
Quincy State Senators Thomas S Burgin voted against
the Rapid Transit bill while Quincy State Representati\es
Amelio Delia Chiesa. James R Mclntvre and Charles L.
Shea also voted "No."" The lone state representative to sup-
port the legislation was Joseph E. Brett

At Quincy Court Law Day
Cant 'd From Page I
Mayor Tom Koch greeted
the crowd and congratulated
the police officers being
honored for "what they do
for their city, and for putting
it on the line everyday."
Norfolk County District
Attorney William Keating
presented the Robert P.
Dana Award for Distin-
guished Service in Law
Enforcement to Quincy po-
lice officers Michael Duran,
a graduate of North Quincy
High and to Thomas Lough-
lin.
Hoi brook Police Officers
Joshua Knowlton and Scott
Glover, and Braintree Police
Officers James Mosesso,
Stephen Wallace, Kenneth
Murphy, Peter Gillis and
Sgt. Jeffrey Smith also re-
ceived the Dana Award.
Each of these officers was
recognized for their duty to
public safety in the presence
of various dangerous situa-
tions involving armed sus-
pects or criminals.
This year marked the 25"'
anniversary of Dana's pass-
ing, the Metropolitan Police
officer who was killed in
Milton in the line of duty in
1984.
Keating also presented
the Timothy J. Spillane
Outstanding District
Court Prosecutor Award
to Nigerian emigre David
Omiunu who, Keating said,
"Adopted America, adopted
the language, and put him-
self through law school.
"I knew immediately
when he came to our office
in 2000 that he loved the
law, loved justice, and was
a minister of justice."
The Alfred P. Malaney
Legal Service Award went
to Peter J. Muse and was
presented by Michael Con-
nolly, President of the Quin-
cy Bar Association.
The Mark S. Charbon-
nier Award went to Trooper
John M. Moran who distin-
guished himself in the in-
vestigation of the shooting
of the armored-car guard in
Quincy in 2004. His efforts,
along with those of Quincy
Detective Dennis Mahoney,
resulted in extensive jail
terms for two of the three
criminals who committed
the crime.
The Charbonnier Award
is named for the officer who
lost his life in the line of
duty on Rte. 3 in Kingston
in 1994 and was presented
by Clerk-Magistrate Arthur
H. Tobin. Charbonnier 's
parents attended Thursday's
ceremony.
Tobin also presented the

tor, and to producer Mark
Crosby.

Says Facts On Taxes, Roadways, Schools 'On Our Side'
Phelan Asks Supporters:
Tlease Tone It Down'
Response From
Mayor's Spokesman
Former Mayor Bill Phel-
an, weighing a re-election
bid against incumbent May-
or Tom Koch, said Tuesday
that while he is receiving an
"unbelievably positive re-
sponse" from voters as he
seeks people's input across
the city, he is also disap-
pointed with "some folks on
both sides who are getting
too angry, too personal and
too nasty."
"People on both sides
need to clam down, and
stick to the issues," Phelan
said. "I am asking my sup-
porters to please keep it civ-
il, and keep it on the issues.
We do not need to resort to
personal attacks, because
we have the issues and facts
on our side."
"1 have a record, and
WILLIAM PHELAN
Tom Koch has a record, and
that's what we should all
be talking about," Phelan
said. Phelan pointed out that
Koch increased Quincy's
taxes twice as much in one
year as Phelan did in his
six years in office. He also
points out that roadways and
schools are in worse shape
despite Koch's record tax
increase.
Phelan decried angry
comments on blogs and in
other forums as "not helpful
to our city."
"I am finding that there
is enormous anger and
frustration out there over
the Koch Administration's
record tax increase, the ter-
rible condition of our streets
and roadways, and the lack
of attention to our schools,"
Phelan continued. "That is
what people are telling me
over and over is important
to them, and that's what 1
intend to talk about. I would
ask all my supporters to do
the same."
"A good back and forth
QHS Students Get Designated Parking
Quincy High School stu-
dents have their own desig-
nated parking spots near the
high school, thanks to Ward
I Councillor Leo Kelly.
Kelly filed the ordinance
which now designates some
40-50 student parking spac-
es from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on
Coddington Street below
the YMCA.
Principal Frank Santoro
said the new student parking
is needed during the final
construction phases of the
high school. He said 40-50
students drive from all parts
of the city to Quincy High
School.
"We've lost all our park-
ing facilities." Santoro said,
noting that parking has al-
ready been designated for
staff.
Santoro credited Cynthia
Conley of the parents' asso-
ciation
is healthy and good for the
city," Phelan said. "But let's
stick to the real issues."
Phelan last week an-
nounced formation of an
exploratory campaign
committee to ask the pub-
lic whatever they think he
should run for mayor this
year. He has asked people to
weigh in with their advice as
he goes door to door, on his
website: taxpayersforphel-
an.com, or to call him at
6l7-786-93(X).
"So far, I have been over-
whelmed by the positive re-
sponse," Phelan said.
The former three-term
mayor said he will contin-
ue to seek out advice from
Quincy residents and will
announce his final decision
"in the next few weeks."

Enjoying Life at

THE ALLERTON WAY
Allerton I louse at Hancock Park, Quincy, MA
by Kelly Richards
Theresa Webber's
children surprised
her uvo years ago
when they came to
her Dorchester home
and simply said that
they wanted to take
her somewhere.
Webber says, "As it
tumed out, the final
destination of our
mystery ride was
/Mlerton House at
I lancock Park After
taking a tour and
meeting some of the
residents and staff, 1
knew 1 would love
living here." She
credits her daughter
and three sons for
doing their research,
knowing her needs
the meals are great.
Now 1 just do what I
want to do."
Webber's engaging
personality touches
everyone she meets.
"I believe we all just
need to keep going
and stay involved, "
she says. And stay
involved she does.
You may find her at
the Bingo game at
Allerton House three
or four times a week,
joining other
residents on a road

and personality, wanting to make
life easier, and finding her a per-
fect home. "It was the first place I
looked at," she says. "1
didn't need to look any further"
Today, Webber's spacious one-
bedroom apartment at Allerton
House is decorated with lots of
photographs of her children and
grandchildren, as well as other
personal possessions that she
holds dear "All of my furniture fit
right in, " says Webber And my
family is close by so I see them all
the time. They especially like to
come to the special events here.
At the Christmas party, they saw
me sitting on Santa's lap."
Prior to her move to Allerton
House, Webber lived alone. With
her children nearby, she could
always count on them for help, but
at age 82, she continued to carry
out the day-to-day tasks that home which is celebrating 60 years of
ownership entails. She says, "I
don't have to do anything now -
no cooking, no cleaning, no
paying the bills, no laundry. All of
those things are done for me, and
service to seniors. Call Kelly for a
personal tour and lunch at
61 7-4 71 -2600 or email her at:
krichards@welchhrg.com
the first friends she made when
she moved in now lives at Welch
Healthcare & Retirement Group's
skilled nursing center in Hingham,
and Webber makes it a point to
visit her often. "We both enjoy
catching up during our visits. "
According to Webber, one of
the best things about living at
AJlerton House at Hancock Park is
the opportunity to be around tmly
nice people. "I know everybody
here, " she says, and "everybody is
wonderful. Moving here was the
best thing!"

Director for Allerton House at

Ordinance Committee Clears Way For Wind Power
Cont 'd From Page 1
cillor Kevin Coughlin.
"If you snooze, you
lose," said Larry Chretien,
executive director of Mass
Energy, a private non-profit
organization, who described
the state funding available
now to wind power commu-
nities.
However, Chretien
warned that 1 19 municipali-
ties could qualify and it will
be a matter of being first in
line.
"The timing of this is
absolutely perfect," said
P.J.Foley, "if we move for-
ward in a timely fashion,
we'll be able to get some of
that money and put Quincy
on track."
Martin Aikens, Chair-
man of the Zoning Board of
Appeals, said that, under the
governors' plan, "Communi-
ties that endorse wind power
are going to get a lot more
funding. You can be eligible
for all those funds."
"We can look just across
the harbor to Hull to see
where we need to go," said
Steve Perdios of Quincy En-
vironmental Network.
Not every speaker fa-
vored speed in considering
the ordinance. Several rec-
ommended that the council-
lors consider all aspects of
wind power from their 10
story to 20-story height to
their profits and their abut-
ters.
"Make sure the taxpayers
benefit, not the developers,"
urged John Rodophele, indi
eating a need for mitigation
"Some developers are go-
ing to make a lot of money.
Try to protect the taxpayers ,"
Roncophele concluded.
Similarly, Richard Joyce
said that living with a wind
turbine nearby is a lot differ-
ent that viewing one across
the bay in Hull. He chal-
lenged the heights in the or-
dinance which ranged from
10 stories to 20 stories in
height.
Joyce asked councillors
to insert more protections
on site plan review, public
input, and setbacks.
Maura O'Gara and Brian
Palmucci, members of the
Mayor's Wind Committee,
urged councillors to pass
the ordinance as soon as
possible. O'Gara presented
petitions from residents fa-
voring wind power.
Sally Owens, Judy Cap-
po and Cherie Dewar, also,
urged speedy passage with
Dewar lamenting the power
that is "literally blowing
by" and predicting a "less
polluted future for our chil-
dren" through wind power.

so dependent on other coun-

The council also amend-
ed the proposed ordmance
to increase the setback from
adjacent properties, to pro-
hibit advertising on the tur-
bines. However, there is no
ban nor size regulations on
company signs on the tur-
bines
In addition, the ordi-
nance requires that the tur-
bine owners provide bonds
or surety to cover the costs
of dismantling the structure
once it is obsolete.
The proposed ordinance
limits wind turbines to

after noting, "We have the
wind. We've got the tech-
nology."
Steve DesRoche who
heads the Quincy Youth
Arena said energy costs
there are over $100,000 a
year and pleaded for quick
passage, "It's going to hap-
pen. It's happening next
door in Milton already."
Councillors did approve
the ordinance but not before
a thorough vetting of nearly
each line in the nine-page
proposal.
The council's changes
will be incorporated into the
final draft which must be
approved at a formal City
Council meeting.
Among the immediate
concerns of Ward 2 Coun-
cillor Daniel Raymondi
and Councillor Joseph Finn
was the apparent exclusion
of home windmills which
could be attached like tele-

dishes.

vices. Quincy Police offi-
cials decided to upgrade the
Communications Division
because of its deplorable
condition.
Phase 1 of the project
was to move the Communi-
cations Division to the Pol-
icy Academy on the second
floor of the Police Station.
Phase II of the project was
to move the Police Acad-
emy into the old Commu-
nications Center adjacent to
the Police Academy when
Phase I was completed.
Due to budget con-
straints, it was necessary
to put together a plan that
would not be a burden the
local taxpayer.
The proposed Communi-
cations Center needed to be
upgraded with new flooring,
paint, and computer con-
soles. In addition, electric,
telephone, radio equipment,
and computer lines needed
to be transferred from the
old Commimications Center
to the new Communications
Center.
This was not an easy
task. In an effort to defray
any of these costs to taxpay-
ers, federal grant monies
were used for new furniture
that would house computer
equipment and Homeland
security funds enabled the
Police Department to install
homeland security cameras
along with television wall
monitors mounted in the
Communications Center.
Other donations were made
for flooring, paint, and filing
cabinets, through the efforts
of Lieutenant Charles San-
toro, who also painted mu-
rals from old police photos.
On April 9, the transfer
from the old Communica-
tions Center to the new
Communications Center
took place and the new sys-
tem is up and operating.
At the present time,
Phase II, the Quincy Police
Training Facility renovation
is under way. This stage of
renovations was made pos-
sible by auto dealer Dan
Quirk who donated all the
classroom furniture.
The Quincy Police Train-
ing Facility will provide
Quincy police officers with
the very best in classroom
instruction. It is hoped that
the Police Academy will be
completed sometime next
month.

$55,000 Cash Transfers Spotlight
Dwindling Free Cash Account
City Council recently ap-
proved a total of $55,000 in
Free Cash transfers as re-
quested by Mayor Thomas
Koch for the Veterans' and
the Assessors' Departments
and deferred an additional
$60,000 transfer request for
further review.
After the votes. Finance
Committee Chairman John
Keenan cited the dwindling
resources in the Free Cash
account which is hovering
around $2 million. Keenan
warned that available funds
may be drained if the city
faces substantial emergen-
cies.
"Our stabilization fund
is nearly depleted," said
Keenan.
Prior to the votes, coun-
cillors welcomed Thomas
Stansbury, the new Director
of Veterans' Services, who
said that $25,000 was need-
ed to meet the June payroll.
The state reimburses the
city's Veterans' Services at
a 75% ratio and councillors
spoke of fully funding the
account next year to avoid
such transfers.
Marion Fantucchio,
Chair of the Assessors, told
councillors her department's
$30,000 request would cov-
er the data collection con-
tract through May, "It will
more than pay for itself.
The mayor, also, request-
ed a $60,000 transfer to
cover legal fees "associated
with Woodward School 's
claim against the Adams
Temple and School Fund."
"The city stopped paying
funds due to the Woodward
School," said City Solicitor
James Timmins, describing
the city as the administrator
of the 50-year-old Adams
Temple and School Fund,
currently valued at some
$300,000.
Timmins said the city
failed to transfer the an-
nual $25,000 due the Wood-
ward School during the last
administration. After the
school trustees sought the
funds through litigation,
the judge ordered the city
to cover $60,000 legal and
audit fees.
Councillors asked why
the city is overseeing a pri-
vate trust and why the for-
mer administration stopped
payments. They, then, trans-
ferred the request to the Fi-
nance Committee.
As Trustees of the Fund,
City Council President Jay
Davis and Councillor Mi-
chael McFarland withdrew
from the council discussion.
Councillors, also, voted
unanimously to clear banks
for electronic processing of
tax payments and other mon-
ies due the city. This paves
the way for the payment of
taxes and fines electronical-
ly through credit cards.

When it comes to strokes, every minute counts. That's why
emergency medicine experts at Milton Hospital and specialists
in Boston are connected via the small camera and microphone
that make up the amazing Telestroke system. Through a
high-speed Internet link, a doctor can assess a patient's
condition even though the two may be miles apart.

Dollars
and $en$e
by David Uffington
Thrift Store
Finds Aren't
All Bargains
While everyone is trying
hard to save a dollar these
days, there are some things
you should not to buy at yard
sales, church sales or thrift
shops. Here are some ex-
amples:
• Stained clothing, unless
you can tell at a glance that it
will be easy to get out.
• Clothing without a laun-
dry-care tag.
• Bed linens and mattress-
es. Bedbugs are becoming an
epidemic in some parts of the
country, and it's not worth
taking a chance for a low -cost
set of sheets. Watch the sales
in discount stores and buy
when the price is even lower.
• Puzzles and toys with
the parts tossed in a box. Un-
less you want to put it all to-
gether right there, you could
get home and find that you
don't have all of it.
• Shoes for children.
Rule of thumb for kids is:
Dress them in rags but put
good shoes on their feet. The
younger the child, the more
important this is. By putting
someone else's shoes on a
foot that's still developing,
you can set the child up for
potential foot problems down
the road.
• New shoes for adults: If
someone has donated a new
pair of shoes, chances are
they weren't comfortable. If
you really want them, walk
around the store in them to
make sure they'll feel OK
overtime.
• Dishware with scratches.
There could be bacteria em-
bedded in the scratches that
you'll never get out. Skip
metal ware too, such as bak-
ing pans, especially if they
have rust.
• Any electronics you
can't try out completely in the
store. A "works fine" note on
the item doesn't mean it actu-
ally works, or it could mean
that only some of the compo-
nents work. In some areas it
costs money to take unwant-
ed electronics to the dump,
and some charity shops won't
take them if they don't work.
Test before you buy.
More hints:
• Look for name brands.
The item will likely be of a
better quality. It's a bonus if
you find new tags still on it,
but even so, check carefully
for tears or seam problems in
clothing.
• If you want to hunt for
bargains, go to thrift stores
or church sales in higher-end
neighborhoods or towns. The
merchandise that's donated
will be of a better quality.
David Uffington regrets that he
cannot personally answer reader
questions, but will incorporate
them into his column whenever
possible. Write to him in care oj

Tips, Tricks For Adding Curb Appeal To Landscapes
(ARA) - You only get
one chance for your home
to make a first impression.
With a little help from Moth-
er Nature, you can demand a
second look from passersby
with a show-stopping front
yard.
"Every canvas needs to
start fresh and clean," says
James A. Raggett, editor of
Country Gardens Magazine.
"So roll up your sleeves,
stick your hands in the dirt
and get ready to personal-
ize your yard with color and
style."
With a little ingenuity
you can transform a ho-hum
landscape into a real stunner
with these simple tips that
add professional -looking
curb appeal to your home:
First things first
You can't enhance any-
thing until you have a clean
slate. So mow the lawn, get
rid of the weeds, rake up and
dispose of any leaves, edge
the sidewalks and remove
the grass growing between
concrete seams and brick
pavers. Prune the trees -
especially the ones near
or touching the roof - and
add a layer of dark, natural
mulch to any flower beds or
under trees.
* Cover up the bald
spots
Now you need to take a
good look at your yard. How
can you enhance your best
features and minimize your
worst? Here's a great trick:
Print photos in black and
white and you'll easily see
the problem areas. Deter-
mine what "flaws" you want
to fix. To update your look,
fill empty spaces and add
interest to a drab comer or
"hide" unsightly spots with
colorful, ever-blooming
plants like the very popular
shrub roses in The Knock
Out family.
Put out the welcome mat
The entry garden is the
most visible garden space
and sets the mood for your
entire home. Whether for-
mal or relaxed, it should
draw your eye toward the
front door. Plant a pair of
carefully pruned boxwoods
on either side of the front
door to add symmetry. Add a
light fixture that matches the
home's exterior and shows
your personal taste.
Contain yourself
For those with mini-
mal or no yard, or if you
just want the elegance and
ease of containers, pot up
pretty annuals and peren-
nials around your entrance,
mailbox or along the front
walk. To have striking color
year after year, use peren-
nials for fistful s of continu-
ous blooms that help stretch
your dollars. Yellow and
red are hot colors this year
so plant the newest Sunny
Knock Out rose paired with
your favorite red annuals
to be in step with the latest
trends.
Express yourself
Decorate a garden with
a favorite antique, treasured
collectible or statue. Lxxjk
for objects such as drift-
wood, rocks or even empty
mailboxes to punctuate
certain areas. Use color to
attract the eye. Paint your
front door a bold , welcoming
color or try a bright, punchy
color on the shutters.
Plan for sustainability
Look for plants that are
easy to grow, save water and
don't require a lot of work.
Pick plants that are native
to your area for low-main-
tenance beauty. Eco-friend-
ly shrub roses are a great
choice, especially when
paired with perennials for
year-round color.
Baggett thinks shrub
roses are perfect for first-
time homeowners since they
are extremely easy to grow
and are low-maintenance.
"Shrub roses give you a lot
of bang for your buck," he
says. "They are really no
work for the homeowner -
and don't require spraying,
harsh chemicals, pruning,
deadheading or lots of wa-
ter. They bloom from May
to the first hard frost in the
late fall, offering sea$pn-
long color and visual impact
in the home landscape."
The most popular shrub
roses are The Knock Out
Family of roses. They are
available in seven shades
ranging from hot raspberry
pink to soft yellow, fitfing
any homeowner's taste
and landscape style while
providing continuous year-
round curb appeal.
Enjoy the days you get
outside to renew your yard
and garden. You'll have
folks taking a second look.

Underlayment
Supports Room's
Floor Covering
Q::;
I'm planning to
redo our second
bedroom, which is where
our son kept his two cats.
The cats did a lot of damage
to the carpet, including uri-
nating on it - so much that
it soaked through the car-
pet and padding. I plan to
replace everything, includ-
ing the plywood underlay-
ment, and I'm wondering:
Is there a better material
than plywood for this job?
Thanks. - Carl in Wichita,
Kan.
A^ Underlayment is,
• as its name im-
plies, a layer of support un-
derneath a room's floor cov-
ering (whether it be carpet,
tile, vinyl or what have you).
It sits between the subfloor
and the floor covering and
padding, if any.
There are four general
choices for underlayment
materials: plywood — the
layer in your son's old bed-
room ~ fiber board, cement
board and isolation mem-
brane. Which material to use
depends on the type of floor-
covering you plan to put in.
• Fiber board ~ a thin-but-
sturdy underlayment for ar-
eas where a thicker material
might affect floor height. It's
usually placed underneath ce-
ramic tile or vinyl flooring.
• Cement board - a stable
material that deals well with
moisture and is therefore best
used in areas that are likely
to get wet, such as bathrooms
or kitchens. It is usually only
used for ceramic tile or stone
installations.
• Isolation membrane -
For tile installations over a
concrete floor (particularly
one that is cracked), isolation
membrane protects the tile
from movement occurring in
such floors. Isolation mem-
brane can be installed over
an entire floor, but is com-
monly used in strips to cover
individual cracks.
• Plywood - What I'd
recommend for your redo -
if you plan to just lay down
new carpet and padding - is
a sturdy plywood. Exterior-
grade, 1/4-inch AC (one side
entirely smooth) is ideal, but
if you are just installing new
carpet it doesn't need to be
perfectly smooth - just level
and free of defects.
HOME TIP: When re-
placing underlayment, in-
spect the subfloor closely
after removing the old un-
derlayment material, looking
for loose seams or moisture
damage.

(ARA) - Lawns and gar-
dens that are eye-catching
have harmonious colorful
plants in bloom and dramat-
ic foliage varieties patterned
in a way that appeals to the
senses.
Unifying blooming and
foliage plants in gardens
has become a popular trend
because it allows homeown-
ers to think outside the box
of traditional flower beds. If
planted with care, a garden
space can result in a height-
ened presence of sight,
smell, movement and even
touch. However, starting
from scratch without proper
knowledge can be tricky.
From bold plant selection
contrasts to color continuity,
understanding bloom and
foliage combinations will
lead to an alluring escape in
any backyard.
Ambiance Matters
Foliage plants bring as
much interest to the garden
and provide as many options
as blooming plants. How-
ever, these combinations
often exist in the form of
variegated textures and non-
traditional color contrasts. It
is important to keep in mind
the differences between a
flower bed and foliage de-
sign. Foliage is all about
leaf shape, vein coloration,
outlines and textures. Some
foliage selections are tall,
dramatic and vast; others
are soft, petite and simple.
Arrangements are often sub-
tle and focus on creating a
mood, drawing the eye out-
ward or upward and creating
dimension.
Because common foliage
colors include variations of
blues, silvers, greens and
deep reds, a soothing design
concept is often a favorite
among homeowners. To
achieve this delicate ambi-
ance, it is best to use strong
textural contrasts to insight
supplemental interest in-
stead of bright colors alone.
A mix of matte and velvet-
like foliage may be best
for this style, with group-
ings of smooth and serrated
edges. The blue-green sum-
mer leaves of Heucherella
'Tapestry' are accented with
deep-red veins which com-
plement dark foliage plants
such as the deep purple of
Heuchera 'Plum Roy ale.'
These two plants from Terra
Nova Nurseries, a world
leader in plant breeding and
genetics in Portland, Ore.,
work well together to infuse
drama and fullness to beds
or containers.
Introducing soft hues
blended with striking color
contrasts adds range and
seems to extend the space.
Plant colors such as silver,
auburn, russet and deep
green will also add a calm-
ing effect and develop a
sense of assortment without
over-complicating the lay-
out of the garden.
By choosing colors such
as yellow, chartreuse, bright
reds and greens, a foliage
garden will take on a more
vibrant energy. While vivid
hues were once less com-
mon in foliage plants, many
are now cultivated with
high-level color power to
tackle the need. When trying
to make an impact, pair sev-
eral bright- and true-green
foliage varieties of differ-
ent textures in an area with
one or two unusual foliage
colors. Complementing a
heavy green palette with
plants of crimson or wine
will become an instant fo-
cal point. For example, the
shiny, lacy leaves of Tiarella
'Sugar and Spice,' from
Terra Nova Nurseries, have
heavily marked reddish cen-
ters in summer. When used
with Tiarella 'Mystic Mist,'
showcasing bright green
leaves with white-speckled
variegation and red veins,
the combo is breath-taking.
Two other garden-worthy
options from the growers of
Garden Splendor varieties
include Sedum 'Angelina'
with evergreen needle-like,
yellow foliage that makes
a stunning ground cover or
container plant and Sorbaria
'Sem' boasting a spectacular
chartreuse leaf accented with
softer bronze-red young tips
that turn green in summer.
Color Congeals
When planning the colors
for a landscape, especially
spring or summer gardens,
it is wise to think in terms of
diversity. When placed to-
gether, flowering blooms in a
variety of colors, shapes and
sizes creates a medley with
enticing appearance. Pro-
fessional growers like Terra
Nova Nurseries and Garden
Splendor make great strides
each year to cultivate a wide
range of colorful bloomers.
Planting unexpected com-
binations like Terra Nova
Nurseries' Echinacea 'Pink
Poodle' and Echinacea 'Mac
'n' Cheese' will stop garden
visitors in their tracks with a
bold and beautiful surprise.
The names alone are enough
to draw attention.
The alternating-stripe
blooms of Phlox 'Pepper-
mint Twist' are a sturming
choice for beds, borders
and mass plantings. True
to its name, pink and white
blooms appear as if pepper-
mint candy atop this com-
pact grower. The Garden
Splendor brand horticultur-
ists say it is a mainstay of
summer garden color.
Following the home-gar-
dener trend of developing a
collection or menagerie of
color in the landscape, the
Terra Nova Nurseries team
introduced Echinacea 'To-
mato Soup,' a coneflower
with tomato-red blooms that
can grow up to 3 feet tall.
It follows Echinacea 'Tiki
Torch,' now well known for
its broad florets and bur-
ni shed-copper seed cones.
When creating beds, bor-
ders, containers, and other
gardens, blooming color and
attractive foliage will unify
the areas by their sheer visu-
al appeal . Leam more about

North Quincy Back In Post-Season
/0<»0>X/OCkX<.xXkX,^-
Sun Sports
<><>'>oo<>>xx>o<><><x>o<>o<>o<>yx>oooo<>«>^
By SEAN BRENNAN
Fhis year's North Quincy
Red Raider baseball team is
heading back to the state
tournament tor the first time
since 2(X)2.
The program's long play-
off drought came to an end
following a 10-3 victory
over Randolph High School
on Monday. With lour Patri-
ot League games remaining.
North holds a 12-5 overall
record, and as of press time,
held a one-game Fisher Di-
vision lead over Middleboro
High School for the division
title.
"This accomplishment
really starts with the leader-
ship of our senior class," said
NQ head coach John Fidal-
go. "We have been playing
well all season. It all comes
down to the hard work put in
by the entire team, but espe-
cially the seniors.
"Last year we were a
young team, but they all
came back wanting to be
better and make the tourna-
ment. These kids all played
fall baseball and took part in
baseball activities during the
winter. They put in the hard
work and it has paid off for
them."
The Raiders picked up
the clinching post-season
victory over Randolph be-
hind the super pitching of
Joe Hdgerly. Edgerly picked
up his fifth win on the hill,
striking out 1 1 batters and
walking none over six in-
nings of work.
"It all starts with pitch-
ing and we have had solid
pitching from a number of
players all season long,"
Fidalgo added. "Our pitch-
ing has kept us in games and
we have been able to take
advantage of mistakes b)
our opponents when we are
at bat. If we want to succeed
in the post-season, we are
going to have to continue
to pitch well, play good de-
fense and continue to take
what we can offensively."
Against Randolph, Ryan
Louis (two HR, four RBI),
John Ainsley (HR, RBI),
Colin Ryan (two hits, two
RBI) and Brian Donaghey
(three hits, RBI) led the
way for North Quincy at the
plate.
"The kids were certainly
excited about qualifying for
the state tournament," Fidal-
go said. "It has been a long
time since any North Quin-
cy team has qualified, so it
was a great feeling for them.
They all came into this year
with the same goal and we
accomplished that goal, but
there is still plenty of base-
ball yet to be played."
With a tournament spot
already locked up, the Raid-
ers can put their focus on
winning the Patriot League's
Fisher Division crown.
Nt)rth. as was stated above,
holds a one-game lead over
Middleboro, a team they have
already beaten this spring.
North was scheduled to play
against Rockland on Wednes-
day, and the team has a huge
rematch road game versus
Middleboro on Friday.
"We control our own des-
tiny when it comes to win-
ning the Fisher Division."
added Fidalgo. "With four
league games remaining,
including one game against
Middleboro, a division title
is certainly in reach. We are
always looking to improve
and these last four games
should give us some time to
work on things before head-
ing to the tournament.
Making the post-season
is a nice accomplishment,
but we have higher goals we
would like to reach."
North will host Pembroke
HS on May 18 at Adams
Field and Hanover HS on
May 20 at Adams Field. Both
games will begin at 4 p.m.

LI . DAN MINI ON
A Job Well Done
On Monday, May 4, at approximately 8: 15 a.m. Ot-
licers James Karvelis and Paul Holland were dispatched
to West Qiuncy on a repi)rt of
a "family disturbance m
progress "
l/'pon arrival. Officer
Karvelis interviewed the
49-year-old victim/mother,
w ho said that her son just fled
out the rear door. The officer
obtained a description of the
son/suspect and radioed this
inlormation to Officer Hol-
land. Officer Karvelis ob-
served a door to be broken in
half and learned from the mother that her 17year old
son caused the damage. Upon further inspection, the
Officer also found a clock radio completely destroyed
and numerous banister rails shattered gomg up the stair-
case.
Moments later. Officer Holland located the
suspect about l(K) yards up the street, so he
stopped him. positively identified him as the sus-
pect and then escorted him back to the resi-
dence in the cruiser, pending further investigation.
Back at the residence. Officer Holland interviewed the
suspect separately while Officer Karvelis took a state-
ment from the victim.
The victim said that her son kicked her bedroom
door in half last weekend and her son destroyed the
clock radio this morning during a verbal confrontation.
1 he victim said that her son woke up this morning de-
manding $20.00 from her. but she refused to give him
any money due to his past history of substance abu.se
and the fear that he would purchase illegal drugs.
Her son became extremely angry and verbally abu-
sive towards her, so much that she feared for her safe-
ty and called the Quincy Police Department. Officer
Karvelis joined Officer Holland and confirmed from
the suspect that there was a \erbal argument with his
mother because she wouldnt give him .$20 dollars.
I'pon further questioning, the suspect became ex-
tremely agitated and uncooperative. The suspect then
began walking out of the residence, followed by Officer
Karvelis. who asked a few more questions but could
see that the suspect was grow ing more agitated. As they
walked toward the front of the home, the suspect started
shouting in a way that served no purpose, asking. "Who
are you'' You're Quincy Ca^%%^Sc* Police Officers."
This continuous barrage of shouting obscenities result-
ed in a disturbance of the peace. The Officer noted that
traffic began to build up at the intersection and a traf
fie jam and a public safety issue soon developed.
The suspect continued shouting. "1 am going to
flip out." Since the suspect would not calm down or
obey the Officer, he was advised that he was under ar-
rest for "Disorderly Conduct"" and then placed into cus-
tody. As Officer Holland transported the suspect in his
cruiser, the suspect continued being unruly, then started
kicking the cruiser windows.
At the station, the suspect was too uncoopera-
tive to book, so he was placed in a cell. Once in the
cell, the suspect kept banging on the cellblock win-
dow, then took off his pants and attempted to carve
something into the cellblock window with the zipper,
in addition, the 17-year-old Quincy resident was
charged with "Defacing Personal Property" due to the
extensive damage he caused.
The mother was advised of her domestic violence
rights and offered an emergency order, but she declined.
When asked what she was going to do when her son
was released, the mother said that he would be welcome
at her residence that evening.
Nice Wbrk!
In this case, even though the mother did not want
anything to do with a restraining order against her son,
taking the officer's advice to speak with a domestic vio-
lence advocate to consider various options would have
been a better choice than to just let the son back in.
Even a simple acfion as getting a restraining order
that allows her son to be in the home but with the stipu-
lation that he not threaten or harm his mother (psycho-
logical or physical abuse) may be enough to protect her.
It would also assist the Police in the event that we had
to return to the address for another incident.
Remember, without the proper level of intervention,
the likehhood of another incident is high!

QMC Hosts First Green Brush Art Reception Reduce StrCSS, RcfoCUS YOUF Life
(ARA) - With everyone
trying to do more with less
these days, it is easy to be-
come over-stressed and fall
into a rut of performing the
same monotonous tasks over
and over.
Author and time manage-
ment expert Ruth Klein is
particularly aware of the im-
pact this kind of stress has
on people's daily lives.
"To help combat every-
day stress, one simple step
you can take to reduce some
pressure is to plan meals
ahead of time to help give
your mind a break from

inauguration of the QMC Hall of Fine Art which is located in the main corridor adjacent to the Klein, author of "The De-
hospital's main lobby. Stress Diva in the Kitchen"
and "The De-Stress Diva's
Guide to Life."
Klein offers three quick
tips to help recharge, refocus
and reorganize your life:
Recharge Regularly
Make sure you eat at
timely intervals through-
out the day, as food is en-
ergy for you emotionally,
mentally and physically. As
consumers continue to eat
out less, they have become
increasingly more interested
in what they are eating at
home or at the office and
are discovering new ways to
bring creativity to their meal
options.
"Try revisiting popular
staple dishes, such as sal-
ads and potatoes, as they
provide the perfect blank
slate for exploring all the
customizable ways you can
create extraordinary meals,"
says Klein. "Adding flavor-
ful, chef-inspired ingredient
combinations, like Sargento
Salad and Potato Finishers,
to salads and potatoes is
a tasty way to infuse your

GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
When gum disease is al-
lowed to progress from gingivitis
(sorerswollen, bleeding gums)
to more serious periodontitis
(bacteria buildup around tooth
roots that attacks gum tissue
and bone), the standard treat-
ment is scaling and root plan-
ing (SRP). Also known as deep
cleaning, this treatment involves
SCTaping the tooth roots where
gums have detached from the
teeth. The newly smoothed,
bacteria-free tooth surfaces are
then free to accept gum tissue
for reattachment. In some cas-
es, a k)w-dose (20mg.) doxycy-
Idine tablet (Periostat) may be
prescribed to be taken orally
twice daily for three months
foltowing SRP. It increases the
effectiveness of SRP by inhib-
iting the action of the enzyme
(collagenase) that breaks down
connective tissues in response
to infection.
We encourage regular den-
tal check-ups, cleanings and
home care. Eariy detection of
problems minimizes the ex-
penses related to major tooth
repair We do not buy into fads,
but instead research, pursue
and implement high-quality
technology that will help im-
prove our patients' care. We're
located at 44 Greenleaf Street,
where we keep abreast of all

cedures that technology has

The Best Way to
Treat Sunburn
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
What's the best way to treat
sunburn? I get one every
year. I know it will happen
this year too, and I want to
be prepared. - DJ.
ANSWER: The best way
to treat sunburn is not to get
one.
What makes you think
you'll get one this year? You're
doing something wrong. I have
to repeat things that should be
common knowledge, so bear
with me.
Don't go out into the sun
during the hours of its greatest
intensity - 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I
have a feeling this is a rule ob-
served more in its breach.
Always wear sunscreen
with an SPF — sun protection
factor - of 15. If you are very
sensitive to sunlight, use one
with an SPF of 30. Apply it
1 5 to 30 minutes before going
outside, and reapply it at least
every two hours. Each applica-
tion requires at)out 1 ounce. If
you go into the water or are
sweating heavily, apply the
sunscreen more frequently.
With a sunburn, in about
three hours after exposure,
the skin reddens and becomes
painful and hot. Taking aspirin
relieves pain and can lessen the
damage done to the skin. Don't
give aspirin to young children
- they can take Tylenol. Cool
baths or cool compresses make
a person more comfortable.
Apply a skin moisturizer, but
don't use butter or petrolatum.
If blisters form, don't break
them. If they're extensive, see
a doctor.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
For the past six months, 1
at the beginning of each
week, as well as making a
meal plan of what to eat and
when."
However, as the common
adage says, there come times
when "there aren't enough
hours in the day" and a stra-
tegic approach to the week
may fall short. In times like
these, keeping some flavor-
ful go-to meal combina-
fions, such as new Sargento
Blue Cheese Salad Finishers
paired with fresh produce,
easily accessible can help
avoid the stress of preparing
something good to eat at the
end of a long day.

have had no energy. I teach
third grade. My doctor
checked my thyroid gland,
and it turns out it's not
working well. I am now tak-
ing replacement thyroid hor-
mone. How long does it take
for me to recover my former
energy? Also, my cholesterol
was high. Is that part of this
deal?-M.O.
ANSWER: It can take three
to six months for your hormone
level to reach a normal plateau.
That's when you'll feel like
your old self again.
A person with low thyroid
hormone often has a rise in
blood cholesterol. The level
will fall as soon as the replace-
ment hormone is working.

am 83, and following hip sur-
gery I developed a dropped
foot. All I hear is that it is
something I have to live with.
Is there another answer? -
DX.
ANSWER: It takes a long
time for an injured nerve to
heal. Sometimes it never does.
However, that doesn't mean
something can't be done for a
dropped foot.
Any number of braces can
make walking much easier for
a person with a dropped foot.
I'd see about that now and bide
my time, hoping the nerve will
regenerate.

Bishop Barbara Harris
To Celebrate Eurcharist
At Christ Church May 24
Ihe Right Rev. Barbara
r. Harris, Bishop Suffragan
(retired) of the Episcopal
Diocese of Massachusetts,
will be the preacher and
presider at Christ Church
Quincy Sunday, May 24 at
10 a.m.
The service will honor the
20th anniversary of Bishop
Harris's consecration as the
first female and first African
American female bishop in
the Episcopal Church and
Anglican Communion.
Bishop Harris will mark
this historic event in the
historic setting of Christ
Church, the oldest continu-
ing Episcopal congregation
in the Diocese of Massachu-
setts and the second oldest
in New England. Many in
Massachusetts have come to
know and love their retired
suffragan bishop as a spirited
preacher and an outspoken
advocate for (in her words)
"the least, the lost and the
left out." Throughout her
years as Bishop Suffragan,
she has always held forth a
positive vision of what the
diocese and everyone in the
diocese, might become and
might accomplish.
A cherished chalice to
be used at the service was
given to Christ Church by
Caesar, an African Ameri-
can servant to the American
born rector of Christ Church,
the Rev. Ebenezer Miller in
1770. The chalice, made by
Boston silversmith, Samuel
Minott, IS inscribed: "Given
for the service of the Holy
Communion to the Christ's
church in Braintree, by Cae-
sar, servant to E. Miller,
Esq. 1770."
Caesar was baptized at
Christ Church in 1731. was
married there, and had all of
his children baptized there
as well. Caesar gave the
chalice to the parish out of
devotion to the church that
accepted him at a time when
most churches would not.
Christ Church contains
a large number of recorded
baptisms, marriages and
burials of many slaves, who
had the freedom to attend
a church of their choice.
It is in this tradition of ac-
ceptance and diversity that
Bishop Harris will conduct
the special service of the
Holy Euchari.st featuring
special music by the choir
and gospel singer, Renese
King. All are welcome.

It seems that every day, every month
and even every year has been given to
someone, something or some cause.
Pick a cause, there's a week for it!
May is no exception. It is, among other
things, "Senior Citizens Month." We
would like to share some thoughts with you on this . . .
If you are a Senior Citizen, take a good look at yourself
and your peers, and be proud of all you have accomplished.
. . in the past and now, in your prime. You have the time to
do all those things you put off in your youth because 'Ihe
kids" or '*the job" came first.
If you aren't one, take a look at all the senior power
that fills your life. You, your family, your town, would be
less today without those wonderful folks called "seniors."
Take care of "Senior Citizen Month," and hug your favorite
seniors today. . . and every day . . . THEY DESERVE IT!

Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
This is a good week to look at
healing bruised feelings and
re-establishing weakened rela
tionships. It's also a good week
to start new projects and make
new job-linked contacts.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Music and art dominate the
week, giving the sensual Bo-
vine a lot to appreciate. On the
practical side, deal firmly, but
fairly, with those who might
try to undermine your work ef-
forts.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Good feelings continue to
flow from your recent efforts
to reconnect with family and
friends. But be ready to defuse
a dispute before it can disrupt
all that f>eace and harmony.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
A practical view of a romanti-
cized situation could help to
clarify some of its more confus-
ing aspects before you make a
decision that could be tough to
undo later on.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Pay more attention to what
a recent spate of workplace
criticism might say about your
performance and not what you
think it implies about you per-
sonally. Some flexibility might
be called for.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) With new information,
and new promises of support
(not to mention growing self-
confidence), this could be a
good time to restart a project
you couldn't quite handle be-
fore.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Before you decide to
close down a problem-loaded
project and make a fresh start
with someone else, try once
more to reach a compromise
with your balky partner. He or
she might surprise you.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 2 1 ) While you continue
earning points for your sharp
negotiating skills, be alert for
an attempt to undercut your
efforts. You'll need to provide
solid facts and figures to stay in
the game.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) A minor
health problem might cause
you to ease up on your usually
busy schedule. But you'll soon
be back in the saddle and ready
to pick up the reins and charge
ahead .
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) The adventurous
Sea Goat might be eager to take
on a new challenge. But before
you do, you might want to take
some time to check out previ-
ously overlooked factors.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A feeling of be-
ing overwhelmed by all that
you have to do can be eased by
setting priorities. Deal with the
most urgent and time-sensitive
situations first, and then work
down the line.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Creating a calm, peaceful
place for yourself in the middle
of a roiling emotional whirl-
pool this week starts when you,
and no one else, decide how to
make decisions about your life.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your
determination to stick with your
principles wins the admiration
of everyone who knows you.

Quincy Point Festival Salutes Shipbuilders, Sailors
PROCESSION OF St. Brendan the Navigator parades down Washington Street toward the
Fore River Rotary - the Gateway to Quincy - where an anchor from the Quincy-buiit heavy
cruiser USS Des Moines was dedicated during Saturday's Maritime Festival "Making Waves in
Quincy Point." St. Brendan is the patron saint of sailors. The procession is lead by Great High-
land Bagpiper. Matthew MacArthur of Quincy.
THANK YOU, SAILOR - Don DeCristofaro, a Navy veteran and moderator of Quincy Point
Congregational Church, presents a pen made from an original beam of the USS Constitution to
Shane Murphy of Seekonk, first mate of the cargo ship Maersk Alabma, at the salute to ship-
builders and sailors aboard the USS Salem. Murphy, who once worked at the former Fore River
Shipyard, took charge of the cargo ship when Capt. Richard Phillips was taken hostage by pi-
rates off the Somali coast April 8. Murphy said some of his best crewmates grew up in Quincy.

Rev. William Harding Guest Speaker
Memorial Day Parade,
Ceremonies Monday
STATE POLICE SERGEANT Daniel Griffin captivated his audience with the "roll-over ve-
hicle simulator" at a pre-prom safety seminar held at North Quincy High School.
Quincy Police Pre-Prom Safety
Seminar Held At NQHS
The Quincy Police Crime
Prevention Unit recently
held a "Pre-Prom Safety
Seminar" at North Quincy
High School.
Lynda Steverman started
off the presentation with a
moving tribute to her son,
who passed away after leav-
ing a college party. She
provided each student with
a contact card that they
should bring with him or
her when they go away to
college.
Steverman reminded the
students they are or will be
adults soon and neither the
college nor hospital has an
obligation to contact their
parents if they are missing
or injured. .Having the con-
tact information available to
roommates or friends will
aid in parental notification.
The second stage of the
program involved Quincy
Police officers presenting
materials on the cost of an
OUI and additional conse-
quences, alcohol poisoning,
then having the students
try out the "drunk driving
goggles."
The final presentation
was the "rollover" exhibi-
tion provided by the Mas-
sachusetts State Police.
Troopers Daniel Griffin and
Larry Kiely discussed the
impact of car accidents on
the body, then showed what
happens to child and adult
passenger mannequins who
are not seat belted. The im-
mediate tossing of the man-
nequins produced a collec-
tive groan.
The Quincy Police Crime
Prevention Unit thanked
senior class advisor Gingy
Fidalgo for her assistance in
organizing the program.

The Rev. William Hard-
ing, pastor of Bethany Con-

will be the guest speaker at
the Memorial Day obser-
vance Monday, May 25, at
the World War II podium in
Mount Wollaston Cemetery.
Rev. Harding entered the
Amiy National Guard after
high school in 1968 as an
enlisted solider. In 1898, he
received his commission as
a chaplain first lieutenant in
the Army Reserves. He was
deployed to Kosovo in 1989
and then to Iraq in 2005.
"As an Army chaplain, I
have had the opportunity to
work with soliders; which is
the greatest gift I could ever
receive," Rev. Harding said.
"We celebrated the sacra-
ments, had great fellowship
and took time to worship
God in all His Holiness. I
saw first hand how the Army
chaplains can help soldiers
accomplish their assigned
missions."
Rev. Harding is a mem-
ber of the Reserve Officers
Association and the Ameri-
can Legion. He is also a
part-time VA chaplain.

Three Detectives To Bring Staff To Eight
Drug Unit To Be Expanded
Mayor Thomas Koch and
PoMce Chief Paul Keenan
announced Tuesday three
detectives will be added to
the department's drug unit
as part of the city's broad-
er effort to crack down on
drugs in Quincy.
"We are serious about
lighting the drug problem
in this city and we are seri-
ous about protecting public
safety services," said Koch,
whose level-funded police
budget prevents major pub-
lic safety cutbacks. "Ex-
panding the drug unit is a
priority for this administra-
tion and it is a priority of the
Police Chief, who has done
an outstanding job manag-
ing resources amid this fi-
nancial crisis."
The new detectives will
be shifted from existing units
as part of an overall restruc-
turing spurred by the new
budget, which keeps police
funding at $21.5 million.
The department is applying
for federal grant money to
add several officers whose
positions will be left vacant
due to retirements.
The new assignments will
bring the drug unit's staff to
eight, including one detec-
tive assigned to the regional
Drug Enforcement Agency
task force. The relationship
with federal authorities was
restored last year after it had
lapsed for several years.
"Working with a level-
funded budget, we can al-
locate resources in the most
effective and strategic way
possible," Keenan said. "The
Drug Unit does a remarkable
job out on the street every
day, and with the addition
of our drug dogs and the ad-
ditional detectives, there can
be no mistake about how se-
rious we are about fighting
drugs in Quincy."
The beefed up unit, along
with the addition of drug-
sniffing dogs, are part of a
larger drug fight by the Koch
Administration. A task force
formed by the mayor has
made a number of in-roads
and recommendations, in
eluding: a $6(X),{X)0 grant
that was awarded to Impact
Quincy to work toward pre-
venting fatal overdoses of

Sam Mele Learned A Lot From 'The Little Professor'
MELE
It was Opening Day April 15, 1947 and the Red Sox were
starting their new season as defending champions of Ma-
jor League Baseball's American League.
The line-up included household names familiar to fans
throughout the region. Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, John-
ny Pesky and Dominic DiMaggio. The Sox won the home
opener 7-6 over the Washington Senators.
In right field, making his major league debut at age 25,
was Sam Mele, a New York native and star basketball player
at New York University. He shared the outfield with Wil-
liams in left and DiMaggio in center.
'Those were some kind of team-
mates," Mele recalled in an interview last
week in his Quincy home. Mele, who has
lived in this city since 1949 and married a
Quincy girl, Connie (Clemens), a former
Miss Merry mount, played 10 seasons
in The Show for six different teams, in-
cluding two stints with the Red Sox from
1947-1949 and 1954-1955.
For nearly 90 minutes, Mele reminisced about his
30-plus-year career in baseball as a player, scout, minor
league instructor and manager with the Minnesota Twins.
He coached the Twins to the franchise's first American
League pennant in 1965.
But some of Mele's fondest memories stretch back to
that 1947 season as a rookie with the Red Sox.
While Mele absorbed hitting tips from Williams, it was
DiMaggio who took him under his wing and taught him
the finer points of playing defense in Fenway Park's tricky
right-field. It was the Little Professor - DiMaggio's nick-
name because of his diminutive 5' 9" frame and his eye-
glasses - teaching Mele - the eager student - how to be a
better defensive player.
And Mele can still pin-point his first encounter with
DiMaggio - who died May 8 at age 92 of pneumonia - like
it was yesterday.
It was spring training, 1947. After taking batting prac-
tice one day, Mele headed to the outfield and heard a voice.
"Hey Kid, come over here." It was Williams. He talked hit-
ting with the rookie right-fielder. Mele then asked him about
getting some fielding tips.
"Ted said to me 'Don't talk to me about fielding - you go
to that little guy in center field.' And that's when I met Dom
DiMaggio. And Ted yelled to Dom that 1 was coming over
to see him and Dominic introduced himself. He told me a lot
of little things about playing the outfield."
It was the start of a lifelong bond - on and off the field.
Three days after the home opener, the Red Sox took their
first road trip and stopped in Philadelphia.
The players got off the bus at the Ben Franklin Hotel
and they hung around the front desk waiting for their room
keys.
"I'm at a loss - I'm just a rookie and I don't know what to
do," Mele recalls. "I find a chair in the lobby and sit down.
One by one the players get their rooms and the bellboys take
their bags and now there's no bellboys left.
"I see Dominic DiMaggio walking towards me and he
says to me, 'Okay, rookie, go get your bag. You're my
roommate. And that's how it started. We were roommates
on the road for two years.

QUINCY'S SAM MELE (left) and the late Dominic DiMaggio
(right) were two-thirds of the Boston Red Sox starting outfield
when Mele made his Major League debut in 1947. The two
teammates formed a lifelong bond and remained friends for 62
years. Photos Courtesy of Boston Red Sox
"And he was some kind of roommate. Everything we did
as great friends. He was my mentor, like an older brother
would be to a younger brother. He took good care of me."
While baseball dominated much of the conversation be-
tween the two teammates, Mele says DiMaggio taught him
much more than just playing between the white lines.
"Dominic taught me how to dress, how to tip, all that kind
of stuff. In the lobby waiting for the bus, he'd say 'come sit
with me - you sit in that chair, I'll sit here and we'd pull our
chairs together. And talk baseball ."
DiMaggio could have been known as the Little Profes-
sor because of the way he studied pitchers and analyzed the
game. He had a book about all the pitchers the Red Sox faced
on the road. Notes about things such as what they liked to
throw with two strikes, how they tip their pitches, etc. One
day, he told Mele about Yankees pitcher Red Ruffing.
"When you go to bat, this guy loves to throw high fast-
balls, Dominic tells me. Sure enough, my first pitch was a
high fastball and I hit a home run. Dom comes to me and
says, 'he's going to throw you the same pitch. He loves to
throw the high fastball. First pitch especially.' I go to bat and
I took the first pitch. I think there was doubt in my mind that
he would do it again because I had hit a home run off him.
But Dominic was right again, high fastball."
Williams' hitting tips certainly paid off for Mele his
rookie year. He batted .302 in 123 games with 137 hits, 14
doubles, 8 triples, 12 home runs and 73 runs batted in. He
also slugged .448. Mele, who was the Red Sox Rookie of
the Year that season, could have been a logical choice for
the league's inaugural ROY award. But there was only one
recipient and that went to Jackie Robinson who broke base-
ball's color barrier. Robinson batted .297 with 175 hits (in-
cluding 31 doubles, 5 triples and 12 homers and 48 RBIs) in
151 games. He slugged .427.
Mele tried to learn as much as he could from DiMaggio
whom Williams called the greatest defensive center fielder
and greatest lead-off hitter he ever saw.
"Dominic used to knock in 90 runs leading off and in
those days, in Boston, you had pitchers who couldn't hit
that good and catchers who didn't hit that good," Mele said.
"If the seventh guy in the line-up got on, he had a knack for
getting him home."
DiMaggio helped Mele learn how to turn on fly balls in
the outfield, how to set your feet and how to field a ball
hit directly over the head. There were other tips too, such
as charging a ball that lands for a hit in the outfield, using
sunglasses and a glove to shade a sunny sky, and playing
Fenway Park's right field considered one of the hardest in
baseball.
"Dominic told me about right field in Fenway - how the
ball can curve right around right before the bleacher seats.
You don't go directly at the ball , you surround it so it doesn't
get by you. That could turn into a triple or inside-the-park
home run.
"It was all those little things that he taueht me. And he
never threw to the wrong base or missed the cut-off man.
We'd talk baseball two or three hours into the night every
night. On the road we'd eat together, he always had a little
tid-bit to tell me."
DiMaggio wasn't flashy like some of today's players. In-
stead, he made all the difficult plays without any fanfare.
"He never, ever left his feet to dive for a ball like all these
outfielders are doing today. He must have gotten a lot better
jump on the ball. I never once did I see him dive for a ball.
"And Dominic had to cover more ground in the outfield
because Ted Williams wasn't that great an outfielder. He had
to cover a lot of ground between the two of us."
DiMaggio also paid Mele the ultimate compliment.
"One game I'm in the outfield and there's a long fly ball
heading to right center field. I took off and I made a back-
hand play on the ball. I was just able to get it. When Dom
went by me, he said, "I take my hat off to you.' And I never,
ever forgot it."
Count Mele among those who think DiMaggio was a
Hall of Famer like his older brother and late Yankee great,
Joe DiMaggio.
"I think Dominic DiMaggio belongs in the Hall of Fame.
You know what writers forget: he stole bases, had a 34-game
hitting streak for the Red Sox in 1949, he took guys out of
double plays, could patrol the outfield like a gazelle, had
loads of assists, and was an excellent baserunner just like
(his brother) Joe. He missed three years serving in the Navy
during World War II. If he had played those three years, he
definitely would have made the Hall of Fame."
Mele also thinks DiMaggio's #7 should be retired at Fen-
way Park.
"Dominic was a legend in baseball. The Red Sox better
do it or the fans won't like it I'll tell you that. His name was
synonymous with the Red Sox like Williams and Doerr and
Pesky. He was really something."
Mele said Dominic never felt overshadowed by older
brother Joe's celebrity and athletic prowess. "Dom loved
his brother so much and he looked up to him so much it
was amazing. And yet the only times they would speak was
when they went by one another in the outfield. 'Hi Dom, Hi
Joe. Everything okay?'
"I remember one day in Yankee Stadium Dominic made
one great running catch going toward left field. He back-
handed the ball and almost fell but he didn't. When Joe
passed him (heading to center field) Joe made some kind
of remark to Dominic which I would have thought he said
"great catch" but that was your brother. I could imagine
that's what he said."
Mele said DiMaggio was a great base stealer and runner,
too. He and Johnny Pesky had a favorite play.
"If Dom got on first base. Pesky would give him a sign
that he's going to bunt and it was always toward third base.
And Pesky could run very well so when Dominic saw the
sign and the pitch was made he took off.
"Pesky would bunt the ball toward third, the third base-
man had to come to field it, Dom never stopped; rounded
second and came right into third and there was no one at
third. The shortstop was still at the shortstop position be-
cause he didn't expect him to keep running. Now you end up
with first and third, probably nobody out and Ted Williams
the hitter. No wonder he could knock in a lot of runs."
Long after their playing days were over, DiMaggio and
Mele remained friends for many years.
"I used to call him, he used to call me. We kept in
touch."
The former teammates frequently saw one another scout-
ing games for the Red Sox at the organization's AAA team
in Pawtucket. And it wouldn't be long before the former
teammates were like teacher and pupil again.
"Dominic could pick up the little things watching a base-
ball game. He'd say, 'take a look at that catcher now. His
position is way back from the hitter. The umpire won't give
him the low strike because by the time it reaches him it's
going to be lower than it would be if he was up a little closer
which made a lot of sense."
Dom DiMaggio and talking baseball. Those are memo-
ries Sam Mele will always hold near and dear to his heart.
a
DID YOU KNOW Sam Mele wore #14 when he was
a rookie for the Red Sox? That number will likely be re-
tired after Jim Rice, another #14, is inducted into the Hall
of Fame this July. Incidentally, Mele was one of the scouts
who watched Rice develop into a bona fide major leaguer.

LaRaia Offers Reflections On Quincy Point
The Ledgerland story
on Quincy Point then and
now brought back favorable
memories of its shipbuild-
ing past. The Yard had a ma-
jor influence on the lives of
many Pointers and the many
businesses that permeated
the streets within a half-mile
of the Yard. The Point is not
the same bustling communi-
ty when comparing its past
with the present life style
of its residents and a dimin-
ished business activity from
the glory days of the Yard.
My residency in the
Point began in 1932 and
continued to 1965, my last
year as a city councillor
representing Quincy Point.
Those businesses and shops
that lined the streets with
close proximity to the Yard
no longer exist there. They
included a movie theater
and bowling alley, tive din-
ers, four gas stations, four
pharmacies, nine bars, four
barbershops, a supermarket,
three hardware stores, a fur-
niture store, two pool halls,
a new car dealership, a retail
clothing store, a soft drink
bottling company, several
delicatessens, a men's cloth-
ing store and an assortment
of smaller businesses.
The only remaining busi-
nesses listed above include
a new car dealership, one
pharmacy, one barbershop,
four bars and an assortment
of smaller businesses.
The loss of the Yard in
1986 and the activity its
presence generated does not
take away the desirability of
choosing to live in Quincy
Point today.
It should be noted that
the loss of business activ-
ity that took place over the
years when the Yard was ap-
proachmg closure in 1986
was to a large degree attrib-
utable to a change in peo-
ple's life style brought on by
the major use of the automo-
bile for shopping, the attrac-
tiveness of enclosed shop-
ping malls made possible by
state highway expansion to
remote communities.
If there is a major change
in the density of the Point
it rests with the future de-
velopment of the Yard for
commercial residential and
industrial use.
The one thing that still
exists with the past is the
diversity of the different na-
tionalities and religions that
stood out from other neigh-
borhoods throughout the
city. They included but not
limited to Irish. Scots. Ital-
ian. Lebanese and Jewish
residents.
The more notable losses
that stand out with its mem-
orable past are the closure of
its only synagogue, the St.
Joseph's elementary school
and Its branch library.

Germantown Celebrates
With Recycling Carnival
Over 2(K) children and
adults attended an earth
Day Recycling Carnival at
the Germantown Neighbor-
hood Center/Y MCA.
The recent carnival fea-
tured games and prizes
designed to entertain and
educate about waste and re-
cycling efforts in Quincy.
Hosted by Mayor Thom-
as P. Koch, the Department
of Public Works and the
Quincy Housing Author-
ity, the event also attracted
more than a dozen vendors
and community groups with
games and presentations to
mimic a carnival mid-way
atmosphere.
Dozens of prizes were
raffled including several
Red Sox tickets courtesy
of Environmental Part-
ners Group of Quincy and
New England Recycling of
Taunton. Olivia Rothwell
Limoncelli. a fifth grader
at the Snug Harbor School,
earned a pair of Red Sox
tickets by winning the Earth
Day school's recycling
poster contest.
In addition, Capitol
Waste. Woodard and Cur-
ran, Polaris Consultants
of Quincy, Big Belly So-
lar, Covanta Energy, the
MWRA, and Abitibi Paper
Recycling managed games
and supplied prizes.
Quincy Environmental
Network, the state Depart-
ment of Environmental
Protection. Mass Municipal
Assocociation, and Sterling
PRINCIPAL DAN (ilLBERT (far right) and vice-principal
.Jim Hennessy of the Snug Harbor School were among those
who recently participated in the Earth Day Recycle Carnival
held at the (lermantown Neighborhood Center/YMCA. Face
painting, prizes and a magician were just a few of the attrac-
tions enjoyed at the event.
Middle School made educa-
tional presentations.
The Coffee Break Cafe
of Quincy supplied coffee
and the Quincy Community
Police made a friendly ap-
pearance .
Kathy Quigley, execu-
tive director of the German-
town Community Center,
deemed the event a major
success in bringing recy-
cling to the forefront of all
in attendance.
"Getting the kids ex-
cited about recycling is the
quickest way to reach their
parents," Quigley said.
According to event or-
ganizers, most Quincy resi-
dents are not aware of the
very high cost to dispose of
trash every year.
"Less trash means more
education and recreation,"
Koch said.
Event organizers also
stressed that recycling is
one of the easiest ways to
impact fiscal expenditures.
The City of Quincy allocat-
ed more than $3 million for
the disposal of solid waste
in fi.scal year 2009. Just u
lO'^ increase in recycling
saves the city S3(K),000.
Currently Quincy re-
cycles approximately 20
to 25%. Conservative esti-
mates that the city could re-
cycle 50*^ of all trash, city
officials said.
In 2007 San Francisco
achieved the nation's high-
est recycling rate at 127c,
according to Mayor Gavin
Newsom. In Quincy. that
would save residents more
money can be spent on other than $2 million a year dis-
areas such as public safety, posal fees.

It's amazing that when I am out having
dinner with friends, and the subject of food
seems to always come up, someone will
eventually give me a recipe.
And so it was a few weeks ago when my
friend Irene was telling me about some deli-
cious salmon cakes she had made the night
before.
When 1 asked her for the recipe the next
day on the phone, she said, as so many who
cook say that the exact measurement of
each ingredient is "by guess and by golly."
So today's recipe is one in which you
can be creative and add what ever you
want, but Irene's recipe is pretty much on

He lauded the work done
by the city and its partners

Coven acknowledged the

from taking OxyContin or

done a lot."

permitting) throughout the
summer months until Sept.
30, 2009.

fogging operations will oc-
cur between the hours of 2

Fontbonne Academy Congratulates
Cecilia Vu '09
Cecilia Vu of Milton is heading to Boston University this fall, having
been accepted into its honors program. Highlights of her Fontbonne
career include being President of the International Club, Secretary
of the Service Club, a member of National Honor Society and of
the Spanish National Honor Society She was also an Admissions
Ambassador, in the Instrumental Ensemble, and a member of the
President's Council on Social Justice.
"In my opinion, the best part about Fontbonne is the teachers.
Every teacher knew me not only as a student, but as a person.
They recognized my talents and continually encouraged me to
push my academic limits. Without a doubt, I would not be where
I am if the teachers were not as considerate as they are. The
students and teachers make Fontbonne a nurturing, comfortable,
and caring environment. It's much easier to express your thoughts,
have confidence, learn, and have fun in Fontbonne's unique
atmosphere."

looked at," she says. "1
didn't need to look any further."
loday, Webber's spacious one-

Prior to her move to Allerton

her children nearby, she could
always count on them for help, but
at age 82, she continued to carr\'
out the day-to-day tasks that home

Author Receives Honorary Doctorate Of Letters
McCuUough Urges ENC Grads:
Follow Adams' Example,
Embrace 'Life Of The Mind'
Embrace learning and the
"life of the mind "
That was the message
that Pulitzer Prize-winning
historian David McCullough
shared with more than 2(X)
graduates and their families
Saturday at Eastern Naza-
rene College's 87"' spring
commencement exercises.
McCullough, who re-
ceived an Honorary Doc-
torate of Letters from the
college, told attendees he
was pleased to be back in
Quincy, a city that figured so
prominently in the research
for his Pulitzer Prizewinning
biography of Quincy's most
famous son, John Adams.
"I'm one who loves com-
mencements," said Mc-
Cullough, whose appearance
at the Christian liberal arts
college was arranged by for-
mer Quincy Mayor and ENC
Alumnus James Sheets. "We
have no more moving, more
relevant, more worthy cer-
emony in our civic, secular
lives than commencements,
a time when we celebrate
hard work and achievement
in the quest for learning."
McCullough began his
address by sharing the story
of a young farm boy who
at the age of 14 received
the first book he had ever
owned.
"He was so proud to
own it, he wrote his name
six times in the cover," said
McCullough, noting that the
boy's mother was likely illit-
erate while his father could
barely sign his name. "And
yet that boy, because of edu-
cation, went on to make a
great contribution to educa-
tion when as president, he
signed into law the creation
of the greatest library in the
world."
The boy was John Ad-
ams. McCullough recounted
how the future president was
an indifferent student, until
a tutor named Joseph Marsh
awakened a love of learning
that would consume Adams
•
for the rest of his life.
"John Adams became the
emblem of the transform-
ing influence of education,"
McCullough said. "He
cherished the book and the
life of the mind, purchas-
ing thousands of books at a
time when books were very
expensive. And he became
the most well-read leading
figure of his very bookish
age."
From Shakespeare and
Cervantes to Moliere and
Cicero, Adams embraced
learning, McCullough said,
often "arguing" with the
authors through the copious
notes he wrote in the mar-
gins of his volumes.
"(Adams) never had any
money or social prestige,"
McCullough noted. "It was
thought at the time by those
who didn't know him - and
became accepted years later
by those who knew even
less - that John Adams was
a rich, Boston blueblood. He
was none of those things.
He was a farmer's son from
Braintree."
Yet the farmer's son
would have a pivotal impact
on the education of future
generations through his role
as the author of the Massa-
chusetts state constitution.
The oldest consfitution still
in use in the world today -
and considered by many to
be the model for the U.S.
Constitution - Adams' state
constitution included a
groundbreaking statement
on the need for public edu-
cation:
"Wisdom and knowl-
edge, as well as virtue, dif-
fused generally among the
body of the people being
necessary for the preserva-
tion of their rights and liber-
ties; and as these depend on

Phelan Says Koch Tax FinCom Budget Meetings Set
Pledge 'Too Little, Too Late'
Former Mayor William
Phelan issued a press release
luesday stating Mayor Tom
Koch's pledge last week not
to repeat his record-breaking
tax increase this year is "too
little, too late."
In the statement, Phelan
said Koch's pledge "offers
little comfort to struggling
homeowners and small busi-
nesses who will continue to
pay their property taxes at
the same higher level this
year, next year, and every
year into the future."
Phelan, who is consider-
ing his own run for mayor
this year, said Koch's record
tax increase after one year
in office is more than twice
as large as all of his tax in-
creases during his six years
in office, despite the fact
that Phelan left Koch with
Sl.'^ million in the citv's
raiii) da\ account.
Phelan called Kochs
record tax increase. ' "exces-
sive and unnecessary."
"What Mayor Koch
didn't say is that if sour
propert) tax bill went up
S7(K) last year thanks to his
tax increase, it will stay at
that new. higher level this
year and on into the fu-
ture...even if he does keep
this campaign promise,"
Phelan said.
One of the few bright
spots in Koch's budget
statement was the $6 mil-
lion in savings resulting
from Phelan 's innovative ef-
forts as mayor to curtail ris-
ing health care costs for city
employees by moving them
onto the state Group Insur-
ance Commission (GIC).
Koch himself said last week
that in addition to the $6
million in savings resulting
from employees joining the
QIC, "We'd be lookmg at
$4 million in increases this
year."
As mayor, Phelan said
he recognized early on the
devastating impact on the
budget of rising employee
health care costs , and said he
worked effectively on many
WILLIAM PHELAN
fronts to move city employ-
ees onto the GIC. Appointed
by the MA Municipal As-
sociation to a special task
force. Phelan said he helped
craft the legislation that now
authorizes city workers to
join the GIC.
Phelan said he also
sought, and won. compro-
mises from teachers and
other city unions to brini.'
cmplo>ee contributions
to health care costs more
in line with those in other
coinmunities Without those
cv)mpronuses. cit\ workers
uould never have agreed to
join the CjIC.
"Cit) employees are to
be commended tor agreeing
to join the GIC. but masor
Koch needs to come up with
his own ideas and innova-
tions, and find ways to take
the pressure off suffering
taxpayers," Phelan said.
"Raising property taxes
should be the last resort," he
said. "Unfortunately, Tom
Koch has used higher taxes
as his first and only option."
in Phelan 's last two
terms, Quincy's single-
family tax bill increased the
least of any city in the state.
Despite inheriting a record
deficit, he used a variety of
innovative methods to hold
the line on taxes.
Among other things,
Phelan said as mayor he:
Negotiated with city
unions to increase employee
share of health benefits; se-
cured millions by renego-
tiating Quarry Hills Golf
Course deal; saved $12 mil-
lion working with the state
delegation to get Quincy
Medical Center's loan for-
given; collected S 1 .5 million

ing tickets: collected S.'^ mil-

in various parts of the coun-

be the duty of legislators and

"When John Adams wrote
those words, they were quite
radical." McCullough said.
COA In Need

The Council on Aging is
in urgent need for bath seats
for senior citizens.
If you have one to do-
nate, call the COA at 617-
376-1245.
"He was convinced that
the legislature would reject
them."
Instead, the legislature
approved the document
unanimously, establishing
education as the foundation
of American liberty.
"Education was the key
to our whole conception of
a good society from the very
beginning." McCullough
said. "When (the forefathers)
wrote about life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness,
that didn't mean longer va-
cations, easier work weeks
and more stuff. It meant
more opportunities to pur-
sue the life of the mind.
"Adams, Franklin, Jeffer-
son all viewed education as
the gateway to happiness,"
he continued. "And they all
attributed what they were in
large measure to the teach-
ers who had changed their
ives.
In concluding his ad-
dress, McCullough warned
graduates not to confuse in-
formation with education.
"If information were
learning, theoretically you
could memorize the World
Almanac and be qualified
to graduate," he said. "But
if you memorized the World
Almanac, you wouldn't be
educated. You'd be weird.

Other highlights of
ENC's commencement
included the awarding of
Professor Emeritus status
to Donald Yerxa, a nation-
ally renowned historian and
longtime professor in ENC's
acclaimed History depart-
ment; and the presentation of
the Senior Class gift: a fully
endowed $10,000 scholar-
ship. The gift marked the
first time ever that an ENC
graduating class has pre-
sented a scholarship that is
fully endowed and thus able
to be awarded immediately
to incoming students.
"We are so very proud
of this class," ENC Presi-
dent Corlis McGee said.
"Despite the times and the
economy, when it would
have been understandable if
they had chosen to put that
money toward their own tu-
ition bills, they have caught
the vision and are already
giving back so that others
can be enriched through an
education at ENC."

• On May 19, 1715, the
colony of New York passes a
law making it illegal to "gath-
er, rake, take up or bring to
the market, any oysters what-
soever" between the months
of May and September. This
regulation was only one of
many that were passed in the
early days of America to help
preserve certain species.
• On May 20, 1862, Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln signs
the Homestead Act, which
of)ens government-owned
land to small family farm-
ers ("homesteaders"). The act
gave "any person" who was
the head of a family 160 acres
to try his hand at farming for
five years.
• On May 24, 1899, the
first public parking garage in
the United States is established
in Boston by W.T. McCullough
as the Back Bay Cycle and
Motor Company. McCullough
advertised the garage's open-
ing as a "stable for renting,
sale, storage and repair of mo-
tor vehicles."
• On May 18, 1920, Karol
Jozef Wojtyla is bom in the
Polish town of Wadowice, 35
miles southwest of Krakow.
Wojtyla went on to become
Pope John Paul II, history's
most well-traveled pope and
the first non-Italian to hold the
position since the 16th cen-
tury.
• On May 23, 1933, TV
actress Joan Collins is bom.
In 1990, Random House of-
fered Collins $4 million in a
two-book deal, paying a $1.2
million advance, with the rest
due on delivery of the manu-
scripts. When Collins turned
in the first book, the publishing
house claimed the manuscript
was "unreadable" and sued for
the return of the advance.
• On May 22, 1967. a fire
at the L' Innovation department
store in Bmssels, Belgium,
kills 322 people on the first day
t)f a heavily promoted Ameri-
can fashion exhibition. Despite
speculation that the fire was
a deliberate anti-U.S. action,
most of the available evidence
pointed to an electrical fire.
• On May 21, 2000, the
bones of President James Gar-
field's spine, with a bullet hole,
are put on display as part of an
exhibit at the National Muse-
um of Health and Medicine in

Legislators Warn Finances May Get Worse In FYIO
Con! 'd From Page I
However, they cautioned
that nothing is certain this
year.
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro asked how much the
city's local aid would be cut
because he has read, "The
numbers are all over the
place, 37%, 30%, 25%? Is
the 15% cut within the realm
of possibility?"
Mariano said that the
original cut was 25% but
"we restored about 10%."
"We will, also, put a high
priority on local aid," said
Morrissey of senate plans.
With a 15% reduction,
the city's 2010 local aid
should total approximately
$36 million, down from last
year's $43 million.
As for new revenue, the
legislators and councillors
explored such proposals as
increased motel, hotel, and
meals taxes, sales or gas
taxes, gaming revenues,
plastic bottle return, a liquor
tax and utility pole tax.
Rep. Ron Mariano blast-
ed Governor Deval Patrick
for playing to the press,
while offering few workable
ideas and rejecting the leg-
islators' plan for a sales tax
increase.
"He sends out a let-
ter that's not what he (will
sign)," Mariano said of Pat-
rick's plan to veto a sales tax
increase. Instead, Mariano
said Patrick supports a tax
on "bubble gum and candy
bars and liquor."
"It plays well in the
Globe" said Mariano, call-
ing Patrick's calls for reform
"a red herring. The governor
has the bully pulpit."
Mariano and Rep. Bruce
Ayers, also, described the
multi-million state bridge
projects currently underway
at the Fore River Bridge and
the Neponset Bridge.
Despite the grim outlcwk,
Rep. Bruce Ayers said the
state will patrol for speed-
ers, and protect citizens and
state property on Wollaston
Beach. Quincy Shore Drive.
Squantum Point Park, the
Hummocks and Shea Skat-
ing Rink.
Near the meeting's end.
Rep. Stephen Tobin saluted
Ward 1 Councillor Leo Kel-
ly who is retiring from the
council. Tobin outlined Kel-
ly's work on behalf of the
city and the environment.
The council and observers
then gave Kelly a standing
ovation.
State Income
State revenue estimates
have been dropping by bil-
lions at a time, according to
Morrissey who said, "We've
dropped a billion three
times, sometimes a billion
in 24 hours."
Morrissey said 2000 state
jobs have already been cut
and another 2000 will be
eliminated after July 1st,
as will hundreds of pro-
grams, ranging from home-
less shelters and community
policing to the Quinn Bill's
payments for police educa-
tion benefits.
"There's no easy solu-
tion. We're not going to
get out without people be-
ing very unhappy on both
sides." Morrissey said. "Lo-
cal aid remains a priority."
"We'll get through this
year, but it's going to (de-
plete) the Rainy Day Fund."
said Morrissey, describing
budget cuts, "72 items are
gone, including the Quinn
Bill.
"It will probably be
phased out," said Morrissey
of the Qumn Bill funding
for police education benefits
which will now "fall to the
cities and towns."
Morrissey said the sen-
ate was considering a lx)ttle
return bill which would ear-
mark $20 million for sewer
rate relief but members
feared such a bill might cut
into recycling revenues for
cities and towns.
Kelly asked whether the
legislators will support gam-
ing bills.
"I will vote for gaming,"
said Morrissey who said he
disapproves, but as long as
people are gambling, the
state can benefit, possibly
with one or two casinos and
slot machines.
"The House will revisit
this issue," said Manano
after noting that Twin River
Casino. Lincoln. RI. just
laid off employees.
Both Mariano and Mor-
rissey addressed the issue of
pensions.
Mariano said about 100
persons are receiving state
pensions of over $100,000
and all but a few are retired
from state colleges or uni-
versities.
As for the perennial ques-
tion. "Why don't you go to
Social Security?"
Mariano said taxpayers
would pay more money as
state workers contribute 11
percent and the state, 2% to
such pensions. Social Secu-
rity would require the state
to contribute 6%.
Similarly, Mariano said
calls to eliminate county
government simply means

A Job Well Done
On Wednesday. May 6, at approximately 5 p m., Ot-
ficer Dennis Keenan was on patrol in an unmarked police
vehicle when Officer Mike Du-
ran contacted him, stating that
he had just observed a red Ford
Explorer acting suspiciously as
It drove down Cleverly Court.
Officer Duran said the ve-
hicle, traveling very slowly,
was occupied by three males
who appeared to be look-
ing to meet up with some-
one. Officer Keenan arrived
on scene and watched as
the vehicle drove down Des
Moines Road, then turned
left onto Southern Artery and
then right onto Quincy Avenue.
The vehicle headed north on Quincy Avenue and then
pulled into the parking lot of Subway.
Officer Keenan pulled into the Kam Man parking lot,
which is next to Subway, and began surveillance on the ve-
hicle. The vehicle sat there for several minutes and then a
female walked up to the suspect vehicle. The front seat pas-
senger exited the vehicle and entered the back seat and the
female entered the front passenger seat. From the officer's
position,it was unclearexactly where the femalecame from.
The vehicle exited Subway and began to travel south
on Quincy Avenue, then turned into the Bank of Canton
lot. Officer Keenan followed, keeping Officer Duran
posted.
Ihe suspect vehicle initially stopped in the front of
the bank, which was closed, then after a few minutes of
surveillance, the suspect vehicle backed up to the far-
thest point in the lot. Al this point, the driver suspect I
emerged from his vehicle and stood outside looking for
someone. Officer Keenan then put a civilian shirt on
over his uniform shirt, exited his unmarked cruiser and
began to walk towards the vehicle. As he neared, he de-
tected the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the inside
the suspect vehicle.
Officer Keenan then identified himself as a Quincy
Police Officer and instructed the occupants to keep their
hands where he could see them. With the arrival of Offi-
cer Duran, Officer Keenan was able to search the vehicle
and immediately found a small bag of marijuana on the
driver's seat. He also observed dollar bills on the same
seat.
Officer Duran opened the rear passenger door to
speak to the occupant/suspect 2 and spotted a clear plastic
bag with several pink colored pills inside it, located on the
floor between the door and the seat. Officer Duran picked
up the pills and immediately recognized them through his
training and experience as nine Oxyconfin pills, then in-
formed the suspect in the back seat he was under arrest.
Officer Keenan advised the driver of his rights and
informed him that Oxycontin had been found inside the
vehicle. The driver then stated that there was more mar-
ijuana inside the vehicle. The officers found this inside
the center console, in a clear plastic bag with five indi-
vidually wrapped packages.
The marijuana was packaged in white paper with the
numbers "10" and "20" written on the outside. The
packages with the number "20" written on it were big-
ger than the packages with the number "10" written on it,
which indicated the price.
A further search revealed a small digital scale that
had marijuana residue on it. The driver was then placed
under arrest. Both suspects were placed under arrest and
transported to the stafion. In addition to the $150.00 found
on the driver's seat, another $200 was found inside his
pocket during booking. The driver, a 22 year-old Wey-
mouth resident, was charged with "Possession of Class D
With Intent to Distribute and Violation of a Drug Free
School Zone." The money and driver's cell phone were
seized pending civil forfeiture.
Suspect 2, also a 22-year-old Weymouth resident,
was charged with "Possession of a Class B Substance
With Intent to Distribute and Violation of a Drug Free
School Zone." This suspect had $553 in cash on him,
which was seized along with his cell phone. The other
two passengers in the vehicle were allowed to leave after
determining there were no warrants on them.
Nice Work!

'What Ministry In The Army
Chaplaincy Has Meant To Me'
By REV. WILLIAM
HARDING
CH (MAD 804'" Medical
Brigade Chaplain
The Army Chaplaincy is
one of the most meaningful
blessings that God has given
me. 1 cannot thank the Lord
enough for allowing me to
provide care to our Soldiers
and Family Members. I'll
briefly share some of my
Chaplain history with you.
to help provide the experi-
ence over the range of my
career.
I entered the Army Na-
tional Guard after high
school in 1968 as an enlisted
Soldier. At Basic Training I
met a Chaplain who took me
under his wing. Because of
that Chaplain's meaningful
ministry. I felt that if I ever
entered the ministry. I would
attempt to receive my com-
mission in the Army Chap-
laincy and give back what
was given to me.
In 1989. I received my
commission as a Chaplain
First Lieutenant in the Army
Reserves and was then as-
signed to the 399'^ Combat
Support Hospital. In 2(X)]
we were deployed to Ko-
sovo where 1 served as staff
and Hospital Chaplain at
Camp Bondsteel. It was a
peace keeping mission and
provided great opportuni-
ties to love and care for our
Troops and other assigned
personnel.
In 2005, 1 was assigned
to the 115"^ Chaplain De-
tachment and was responsi-
ble for overall development,
planning, .synchronization
and implementation of the
comprehensive Religious
Support Plan. Our unit was
deployed to Iraq in No-
vember 2005. I was sent

to Camp Scania, a convoy
support center, as the Camp
Chaplain. I found that to be
a rewarding development
and 1 developed and initi-
ated many new programs for
our Soldiers. I was blessed
to bring together: the Unit
Ministry Teams (UMTs).
medical, housing, and fo(^d
service personnel, to estab-
lish special support for con-
voys that have suffered loss
of life
Army Chaplaincy re-
quired that I put m\ life
on the line to care for our
Soldiers. Knowing that m\
own safety was in Gods
hands and the hands of m\
Soldiers, 1 willingly trav-
eled the dangerous roads of
Iraq to bring religious sup-
port to FOBs with our resi-
dent UMTs. 1 had the honor
of establishing the "Iraqi
Children's Project."" which
provided support for local
orphans and widows Ihis
effort provided significant
outreach to the local com-
munity, building friendships
and impn.mng relationships
with many Host Nation per-

Five Common Kitchen Fix-Ups For $500 Or Less
(ARA) - After years of
telling yourself you can
live with the outdated hard-
ware, the ugly orange lami-
nate countertops and the
daffodil -yellow wall paint,
you've finally admitted to
yourself that your love af-
fair with your kitchen decor
is over.
But leaving is simply
out of the question and you
don't have the budget for a
complete makeover. What
can you do?
Fortunately it is pos-
sible to rekindle your love
for your kitchen, improve
your home's value and ac-
complish it all on a mod-
est budget. Here are some
common kitchen complaints
and hints for how you can
resolve them — and learn to
love your kitchen again -

nets or even just refacing
them can cost thousands
of dollars. A more budget-
friendly, simple solution is
to repaint them and swap
outdated hardware for a
newer, more contemporary
style. Even if you have 20
cabinet door handles to re-
place and you opt for pricey
$5 knobs and pulls, you can
still dramatically upgrade
your cabinets' appeal for
around $100.
Painting is another, easi-
er option that helps change
the style and appeal of your
cabinets. Virtually any kind
of cabinet can be painted.
Just go online or consult an
expert at your local home
improvement store to be
sure you're using the right
kind of paint for your cabi-
net's material.
Walls
When it comes to budget
redesign, paint and wallpa-
per can be your best friend.
Pick a fresh, neutral color to
paint the walls. Then spice
things up with an easy-to-
hang wallpaper mural that
evokes your fantasy kitch-
en. You may never have
the breezy, open kitchen
in a villa in Tuscany that
you dream of, but you can
adorn a wall of your kitchen
with a wallpaper mural that
looks like an open window
onto the Tuscan country-
side. You'll find plenty of
kitchen-appropriate wallpa-
per murals for under $ 1 00 at
w w w.DecorPlace com .
Countertops
Replacing laminate
countertops with another
material can be costly. Few
homeowners have the re-
sources to install granite
themselves. While replac-
ing laminate with ceramic
tile may be more practical
for some savvy do-it-your-
selfers, an easier option for
many people is to simply
paint over the laminate they
already have.
Even if your laminate is
scratched, gouged or faded.
it's possible to paint it. Use
a good quality spackle to fill
in cracks, chips, scratches
or gouges. Be sure the en-
tire surface is clean and dry,
and then apply a coat of
bonding primer to help en-
sure the paint adheres to the
laminate. Next apply two or
three coats of paint in your
chosen color. Finally, seal
the counters with polyure-
thane. You can get creative
by stenciling designs on the
surface or faux painting to
make the laminate look like
granite.
Fixtures
Replacing outdated fau-
cets and sinks is one of the
easiest, most cost-effective
ways to update the look
of your kitchen. You can
find styles and designs to
match every décor
and taste for less than $500.
For timeless style and last-
ing durability, stainless steel
sinks are a great choice and
many models are available
for a few hundred dollars or
even less. Visit your local
home improvement store
to get some ideas for what
style will suit your taste and
needs. These stores are also
great resources for advice
on installing your new fau-
cets or sinks — or go online
to find tips in DIY installa-
tion.
Appliances
If your appliances look
shabby but still work well,
refinishing them can be a
more cost-effective alter-
native to replacing them. A
stainless steel refrigerator
can costs thousands of dol-
lars, but you can actually put
a fresh coat of stainless steel
paint on your old, scratched
stainless steel, or even your
black or white enamel re-
frigerator for far less. Or,
if your enamel appliances
better match your kitchen
décor, consider re-
painting them in a designer
color using products spe-
cially made to bond with the
appliance's metal or enamel
finish.

Driveway Improvements Speed Home Offers, Lower Costs
(ARA) - With a "For
Sale" sign in your front
yard, you want potential
buyers to take a good, long
look at your property. And
even if you're not planning
a move, you want to be sure
you protect and maintain
your home to keep future
repairs at a minimum.
Real estate is a tough
market today. If you're a
seller, creating curb appeal
is a key to entice potential
buyers to come inside for a
second look. Home selling
experts predict that as many
as 40 percent of potential
buyers reject a home based
on their first impression of
the front of the house. The
general appearance of the
front yard is the single larg-
est factor shaping impres-
sions of your home.
Even if your home is not
on the market, projects that
improve your home's curb-
side appeal can also create
a safer home, help protect
your assets and give the
entire front of the house a
beautiful look.
"Driveways and side-
walks are the first impression
people have of your home.
Well-maintained drive-
ways and sidewalks create
a strong first impression. On
the other hand, if they are
worn, cracked, stained and
faded, that creates messages
about what someone might
find inside the home," says
home improvement industry
expert Gordon Blickle of
Gardner-Gibson.
Driveways are often
overlooked, spoiling an
otherwise manicured land-
scape. Unless it is severely
cracked, crumbling or poses
a safety hazard, there's no
need to spend thousands on
removing and replacing it.
There are easier options to
make over a tired driveway
that will boost the curb ap-
peal of a home.
Seal of approval

patch. Then renew the look

of old, worn blacktop drive-
ways with fast-drying Black
Jack Ultra-Maxx 1000, a
flexible, long-lasting filler
and sealer with a 10-year
guarantee. Or seal with new
Gardner Pro7, with no mix-
ing required and a jet-black
seven-year finish.
Enlighten your view
An economical way to
create a custom-home look
is adding inexpensive land-
scape lighting. Low-voltage
or solar lighting creates a
softly-lit path to border the
driveway, sidewalk and gar-
den beds. While upgrading
the look of the entire home,
lighting deters unwanted
visitors, improves home
visibility, welcomes guests
with a safe lighted path and
decreases the chance of
someone accidentally driv-
ing onto the lawn.
Refresh your sidewalks
Dirt, mold and algae that
settle on sidewalks, pavers
and driveways create a re-
ally dismal first impression.
Clean them with Driveway
Kleen, a garden-safe spray
solution that attaches to
a garden hose. To protect
stains from coming back,
coat concrete, bricks, pav-
ers and edgers with Krys-
tal Brilliance, a waterbased
clear acrylic sealer.
Beautify the borders
Instead of having to
keep the edge of the lawn
trimmed against the drive-
way, create a "buffer" strip
with a decorative rock gar-
den or plant flowers along
the path to build an inviting
drive up to the home. If your
driveway is adjacent to your
neighbor's driveway, plant
shrubs and flower beds be-
tween them for a small pri-
vacy wall.
Get an edge
Edge the driveway with
pavers in colors comple-
mentary to the home and
pavement. Use pavers in
different shapes and sizes
to create an interesting focal
point and frame the drive-
way.
"Consider your front
yard as 'open arms' that

Pool Safety Measures Ensure Safe Summer Fun
(ARA) - People drive

and wear your seatbelt. The
same goes for home pools.

Dollars
and $en$e
by David Uffington
When You're
Down to
One Income
Many families are getting
an unpleasant shock when
job loss forces them to sud-
denly live on one income.
If this happens to you, don't
panic. Here's what to do:
• Apply for unemploy-
ment benefits. Don't wait
to see if you get another job
quickly.
• Do the math. Add up
all your fixed monthly bills,
such as credit cards, loans
and mortgage. How much in
the red will you actually be?
Calculate savings and see
how far it's going to stretch.
• Cut your fixed expenses
immediately, to the extent
that you can. Is it time to
consider refinancing your
mortgage, perhaps increasing
the length of the loan to 40
years? (Once you get on your
feet again, you can make
extra principal payments to
reduce the life of the loan.)
Will the credit-card compa-
nies lower your interest rate?
Perhaps it's time to cut back
to basic cable service or raise
the deductible on your auto
insurance. If you have both
cell and house phones, would
it be cheaper to let the house
phone go? Does it make sense
to sell one of your vehicles to
ily can enjoy endless hours
of safe pool fun.
Much attention has been
devoted to the dangers of
suction drain entrapment
since the passage of the fed-
eral Virginia Graeme Baker
Pool & Spa Safety Act in
cut back on payments and
insurance? Ask your utility
company about going on a
fixed monthly plan (a year's
use divided by 12.)
• Take a hard look at your
flexible expenses, such as
food and clothing and all
those things that seem to fall
under the heading of "mis-
cellaneous." Before you buy
anything, look for a cheaper
source. Need kid clothes or a
bicycle or dishes? Sign up on
FreeCycle.com. Plan menus
around the coupons in the
weekly paper. Investigate
"freebies" online. (It's best to
generate a throwaway e-mail
address for this, as your level
of spam will skyrocket.)
• Can the one of you who
still has a job telecommute?
Even working from home a
few days a week will save on
gas and dry-cleaning bills.
If you still have your job,
start now to develop multiple
streams of income. Then if
the worst happens, you won't
be completely without in-
come, and those side sources
will have the potential of ei-
ther keeping you afloat un-
til another main job comes
along, or they could be de-
veloped into your main job
without the problems of get-
ting started. Best bet in this
economy: have one main and
two side sources of income.
David Uffington regrets that he
cannot personally answer reader
questions, but will incorporate
them into his column whenever
possible. Write to him in care oj

2007. The dangers of en-
trapment are significant, and
anti-entrapment drain cov-
ers should be in place, but
drowning presents an even
greater risk as the second
leading cause of death for
children ages 1 to 5 in the
U S . Statistics from both the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the Con-
sumer Product Safety Com-
mission show that hospital
treatment for near-drowning
is required for thousands of
children each year. With the
right steps, drowning is pre-
ventable.
Parents watch their chil-
dren, especially during the
toddler stages - but it's im-
possible to watch them ev-
ery second of every day, and
a couple of seconds is all it
takes for toddlers to come
into harm's way. There are
times when a parent is dis-
tracted by cooking, doing
laundry, checking email,
taking a shower or other
routine activities such as an-
swering the phone or front
door. Ultimately, kids are
drawn to water like a mag-
net.
It's vital to have layers of
protection in place between
your home and pool. Stud-
ies in areas where isolation
fencing is mandatory, such
as Westem Australia, have
proven that isolation fencing
saves lives. Isolation fenc-
ing separates the pool from
the home, either surround-
ing the pool or enclosing
all doors leading from the
home, to protect children
who get out the door from
moving beyond the patio.
For above-ground pools, a
smaller fence and gate sur-
rounding the steps or ladder
can prevent toddler access.
When a child gains unau-
thorized access to a pool and
drowns or suffers permanent
injury, it's a terrible tragedy.
It can also be a liability issue
when the injured party is a
visitor. You can improve the
safety and security of your
pool or spa with isolation
fencing with self-closing,
self-latching gate hardware
by D&D Technologies.
"D&D's MagnaLatch is
the No. 1 selling child safe-
ty gate latch in the world,"
says D&D Technologies'
Senior Vice President Jim
Paterson. "Unlike common
gravity latches, MagnaL-
atch has a built-in key lock,
eliminating the need for a
separate padlock. It won't
jam, is self-latching and ver-
tically and horizontally ad-
justable. Our gate hardware
is formed of super-strong
engineering polymers with
stainless steel components,
so it won't rust — ever. And
it carries a limited lifetime
warranty. With TruClose
hinges, no external closing
spring is required, and the
homeowner can easily ad-
just the gate closing tension
after installation with the
twist of a screwdriver."
Pool barrier codes re-
quire pool gates to be self-
closing and self-latching,
and to open away from the
pool. D&D has two lock-
able MagnaLatch styles so
the release can be mounted
at the code-required height,
typically 54 or 60 inches
above the ground. Consult
your building department
for local regulations.
Pool safety advocacy
groups like the National
Drowning Prevention Al-
liance recommend several
layers of protection to en-
sure that homeowners can
experience the pleasures of
swimming pools and feel an
added degree of assurance
that their children, grand-
children and visitors will be
safe.
"We believe in promot-
ing 'The Safer 3 ,' a program
developed by the Swim for
Life Foundation," Paterson
says. "This means safer
water - including fencing
and other safety devices
such as alarms around the
pool; safer kids - includ-
ing adult supervision and
swim skill attainment; and
safer response -- meaning
adults should know CPR
and rescue breathing, and
a cordless phone should be
kept poolside so that adults
never have to leave the area
to answer the phone while
children are swimming."
The National Drowning
Prevention Alliance recom-
mends that a "water watch-
er" be designated for safety
when children are in the
pool, to maintain eye-to-eye
contact at all times. Toys or
floating chlorine dispensers
that look like toys should
never be left in the pool
area. Most people don't
realize that toddlers are top-
heavy, so are at a higher risk
of falling into water while
reaching.

By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents'
post-season fate rests on a
four-game, four-day stretch
this week. Facing the real
possibility of missing the
state tournament one season
removed from capturing the
2008 Atlantic Coast League
(ACL) North Division
championship with a 16-3
record, Quincy (8-8 overall)
needs to win at least two-
of-four games against three
Patriot League opponents
and one non-league foe to
qualify.
Quincy played Scituate
High School on Monday
evening, was scheduled to
face city rival North Qumcy
on I uesday. played Duxbury
High School last night and
will meet Stoughton High
School today. The Presidents
have already lost this spnng
to North Quincy (6-5), Dux-
bury (4-0) and Stoughton
(4-2 in the season-opener).
The team will need to re-
verse course against these
teams to have any chance of
improving on last year's run
to the Division I South Sec-
tional quarterfinals (a 5-0
loss to state power Taunton
HS).
"We have been a little
up-and-down this season,"
said Quincy head coach
Mike Sedar. "But we still
have a great shot at making
the post-season for a second
straight year. This is a huge
week for us. We have a full
slate and we need to come
out of this week with at least
two more wins. That wiiuld
qualify us for the state tour-
nament.
"My team has been play-
ing great against the tougher
competition. We have lost a
lot of close games, but this
week we have the opportu-
nity to make up for some of
those earlier losses against
North Quincy, Duxbury and
Stoughton."
If Quincy wants their shot
at making noise in the South
Sectionals the team is going
to have to generate more of-
fense, which is something
that has been missing for
long stretches this spring.
" We are not hitting as a
team. " Sedar said. "We have
had some nice individual
performances at the plate
but I need more production
from the entire lineup. Ihis
week it is going to important
for out 1-5 hitters to get on
base and score runs.
"We have the defense and
pitching to keep us in every
game, but we need to pri)-
duce more runs to get back
to where we want to be."
Quincy 's 1-2 hitters. Eli-
sa Lam and Julia Yee, have
been doing their job from
the jump this year. Lam is
batting .450 and Yee is bat-
ting .425, solid numbers for
the team's table-setters, but
with the rest of the lineup
struggling to come thn)ugh.
Quincy usually finds itself
in low-scoring games. And
against the strong competi-
tion in the Patriot League,
that is often not good
enough.
"Yee and Lam have been
fantastic for us this year and
they are doing their jobs
well," said Sedar. "But.
again, if we want to move
forward, we need the of-
fense to start clicking.
"1 have been impressed
with the play of Jamie
Shaughnessy, both on of-
fense and defense, and I feel
confident that our bats are
about to heat up ""
If the Presidents can
get their offense going this
week, starting pitcher Kori
Sorensen should give her
team a chance to be compet-
itive in each game. Sorensen
has been dominant again
this season. Through sixteen
games. Sorensen has 111
strikeouts, only five walks
and a 1 .43 ERA (earned run
average).
"Whenever Kori is on the
mound we always have a
great shot of winning." said
Sedar about his sophomore
Hurler. "Look at her num-
bers. She is a strike-throw-
ing machine, but sometimes
she is maybe too good.

team. With a lack of depth
on the roster, the Presidents
will have to dig deep for re-

"We are not very deep
right now, and with Nicole
going down for the rest of
the season, someone will
need to step up," added Se-

Team Preparing For 1st Post-Season Since 2002
Raiders Clinch Share
Of Fisher Division Title
By SEAN BRENNAN
The resurgence of the
North Qiiincy High School
baseball program continued
on Monday. The Red Raid-
ers, behind a 6-5 win over
Pembroke High School,
clinched at least a share of
the Patriot League's Fisher
Division championship
and with a win last night
(Wednesday) at home ver-
sus Hanover High School.
North Quincy would have
laid claim to the outright
Patriot League Fisher Divi-
sion title.
Win or lose on Wednes-
day, the Raiders have im-
proved by leaps and bounds
in the second-year of head
coach John Fidalgo's tenure
on the bench. Last season.
North finished on the out-
side looking in with regards
to a state tournament berth,
but already this season, the
Raiders have locked up a
spot in the post-season.
At 14-6 overall. North
Quincy has already won
five more games than they
did all last year when the
team finished the season at
9-11. The team's strong se-
nior class, led by Joe Vial-
pando, Joe F^lgerly, Irank
Flora, Matt Jay, Ben Leahy,
Matt Rodricjuez. Danny
Russell, F*aul Reardon and
Lamonte Toombs has re-
ceived support from juniors
John Ainsley, Ryan Louis.
Mike Medeiros, Greg Nel-
son. Keith Morreale. Brian
Donaghey and Devin Hud-
son and sophomore Colin
Ryan.
This combination of ex-
perience and talent has put
this North Quincy team in a
position to not only grab a
division championship, but
also make serious waves in
the tournament.
On Monday in the Fisher
Division clinching-sharing
game against Pembroke,
the Raiders received a sol-
id pitching performance
from Joe Edgerly. Edgerly
picked up his team leading
sixth win pitching six in-
nings and striking out three
batters.
Matt Jay (two hits, two
runs, RBI, two stolen bas-
es), Lamonte Toombs (three
hits, RBI) and Greg Nelson
(hit, two RBI) led the North
Quincy offense against the
Titans.
Matt Rodrique/. John
Ainsley and Danny Russeil
also played well for North
and Ainsley's fifth inning-
double proved to be the
game-winning hit.
Late last week North
Quincy picked up another
huge Patriot League victor)
with a 3-1 win over Rock-
land High School.
Junior Ryan Louis
pitched six innings, striking
out seven batters and allow-
ing zero runs. Senior Ben
Leahy came on in relief and
earned his third save of the
spring.
At the plate, senior Matt
Jay collected three hits and
juniors Danny Russell and
Louis had two hits each.
Matt Rodriquez, John
Ainsley and Devin Hudson
all played well on defense.
The Raiders finished last
week by losing a Patriot
League game to Middle-
boro High School.
Note: North Quincy's
scheduled game against Ha-
nover HS. set for Wednes-
day (May 20) will begin at
4 p.m. at Adams Field.
You Can Now Call Them
The Eastern Nazarene College Lions
Eastern Nazarene Col-
lege has a new mascot:
Henceforth, the Christian
liberal arts college's athlet-
ics teams will be known as
the ENC Lions.
The new mascot was
recently introduced to stu-
dents, faculty and staff at
an ice cream social held to
mark the end of the semester
and celebrate seniors' com-
mencement May 16.
"We wanted to share the
news of our new mascot be-
fore our graduating seniors
left campus," College Presi-
dent Corlis McGee said.
"The entire ENC commu-
nity had an opportunity to
offer input, and we look for-
ward to rooting for our ENC
Lions at sporting events in
the future."
Created by Quincy's
Cyclone Design, the new
mascot features a golden
lion atop the college name,
with the word "LIONS" out-
lined in red over the college
shield.
The Lions replaces the
college's previous mascot
of the Crusaders - a term
whose connotation has
changed over the years,
ENC officials said.
"When ENC and many
other Christian colleges first
adopted the Crusader mas-
cot, the term was perceived
much more positively,"
said McGee, who noted
that Illinois' Wheaton Col-
lege, Point Loma Nazarene
University and other U.S.
colleges also have opted to
replace their Crusader mas-
cots, 'in today's world, the
term often carries a negative
connotation, and there was a
growing awareness among
ENC students, faculty and
alumni that the Crusader no
longer represented the posi-
tive message of Christian
love we aim to share with
the world '
Eric Severson, a profes-
sor of religion at Eastern
Nazarene, concurred. In a
statement supporting the
mascot change, Severson
noted that the sanitized im-
age of the Crusader over-
looks a complicated his-
torical record that includes
cruelty and barbarism.
"The violent soldier of
the crusades," Severson
wrote, "...is simply a poor
representative of ENC's
commitment to Christian
love."
ENC Alumnus Dr. Mark
H. Mann - a former Crusad-
er basketball player whose
grandfather, longtime ENC
President Edward S. Mann,
selected the Crusader - alst)
supported changmg the
mascot
"I thank God that we
have decided to make the
change." Mann said. "It fills
me with great pride to know
that, in disassociating our-
selves from the atrocities of
the medieval Crusaders, we
are better able to communi-
cate the distinctly Christian
mission and vision of those
who. like my grandfather,
sought to build a college that
above all glorifies Christ."
After agreeing that it was
time h) retire the Crusader.
ENC officials established a
selection committee, which
solicited suggestions and
feedback from the campus
communit) and alumni.
"The lion is a symbol of
courage and strength." said
McGee, noting that the Bible
refers to Jesus as "the Lion
of the tribe of Judah. " "1
think the very fact that ENC
was willing to explore the
mascot issue, and to open a
dialogue on the subject, ex-
emplifies the strengths of a
Christian liberal arts educa-
tion."
Located in Quincy, East-
em Nazarene College (ENC)
is a fully accredited liberal
arts college.

Parents Can Take
Active Role In Helping
Children With Asthma
Milton Hospital Taste Of Spring Fundraiser June 4
(ARA) - As any parent of
a young child will tell you,
talking to your kids and get-
ting them to listen is not an
easy task. This challenge can
be even more pronounced
when you are a parent of a
child with asthma, a condi-
tion that affects nearly one
in 10 children in America,
according to the National
Center for Health Statistics.
When asthma is not
properly managed, it can
have real consequences for
both parents and children.
In fact, asthma accounts for
almost 13 million missed
school days each year and
is the third-ranking cause of
hospitalization among those
younger than 15 years of
age, according to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
the American Lung Associa-
tion.
To help parents talk with
their children about asthma
and support children coping
with the disease, the Allergy
& Asthma Network Moth-
ers of Asthmatics, through
a partnership with Schering-
Plough Corporation, has de-
veloped an entertaining and
educational new storybook,
"Breathless Bethany But-
tercup."
The storybook uses a
little girl's experience to
provide information about
asthma management. With
playful rhymes and colorful
illustrations, the storybook
appeals to early elementary
school-aged students.
Parents can order a free
copy of "Breathless Bethany
Buttercup" through Scher-
ing-Plough and the Allergy
& Asthma Network Moth-
ers of Asthmatics by visiting
www.asthmastorybook.com
or www.breatherville.org.
Understanding Asthma
When your child has
asthma, his or her airways
become inflamed, resulting
in swollen and very sensi-
tive airways that can easily
be irritated by environmen-
tal and other factors. Asthma
is a part of your child's daily
life and symptoms can strike
anytime, anywhere. If you
take the appropriate steps
to learn about and under-
stand the disease, and work
with your child's health care
professional to develop an
asthma treatment plan, you
may be able to help manage
your child's asthma.
Tips for Managing
Your Child's Asthma
• Recognize that asthma
is a serious, potentially life-
threatening condition and
continually monitor your
child's asthma symptoms.
• Work with your child's
physician to develop an asth-
ma action plan that outlines
your child's asthma history
and includes information
about current medications.
• Work with your child to
identify and avoid activities
and irritants that result in
breathing problems.
• Keep your child in-
volved and talk to them
about their asthma, warning
signs and the appropriate
use of medications.

DENTAL IMPLANTS TAKE ROOT
Patients needing to replace lost Icwk, feel and function like your
teeth have another optbn beskJes
partiaiAull dentures and traditk)nal
txidges. Dental implants can be
used to replace all, a few, or only
one missing tooth without any of
the characteristk: disadvantages
often associated with dentures.
Because Implants make sure of
titanium anchors placed fimnly in
ttie jaw, they are permanently set
and will not slip. As a result, when
the prosthetrc teeth are attached
to the anchors with connectors
I (abutments), dental implants pro-
' vkje both tfie kx)k and feel of natu-
ral teeth. Those patients with suf-
fkaent jawtx)ne to support dental
implants are the best candklates
for the procedure. If necessary, a
twne graft procedure can be un-
dertaken to provide implants with
an adequate foundatwn.
Making the decision to dental
implants can genuinely be life
artering for someone who has
missing teeth. Dental implants
own teeth and give you back
your smile and boost confktence.
All of our patients have a pleas-
ant, positive visit with us. Our
offk» is kx^ated at 44 Greenleaf
Street, where we stress preven-
tive health care for the entire
family, and utilize state of the
art dental procedures. The best
way to reduce your chances of
getting any dental disease is to
devekDp good oral hygiene hab-
its. We're cunently accepting
new patients and wekx)me you
to call 617-479-6220 to sched-
ule an appointment. We offer
tfie servces of anestheswtogy
with a fully ti'ained and qualified
anesthesHJtogist. Visit us on the
web at www.qulncydentist.com.
PS. Dental implants actu-
ally become one with the bone
in which they are embedded
through a process called "os-
seointegraton" (fusing of tita-
nium to bone).
Make
Gardening
Fun Again
Have you dusted off
your gardening gloves yet?
I hadn't planned on hav-
ing a garden this year. The
catalogs that arrived over
the winter were beautiful ...
and enticing. But I thought
I'd skip all the bending and
stooping that comes with
having a vegetable and
fiower garden ... until 1 saw
the seedlings at the hard-
ware store. 1 was hooked all
over again. This time, how-
ever, 1 managed to keep my
purchases and the size of
the garden a bit more man-
ageable.
Have you thought that
this might be the year you
don't have something grow-
ing? There are ways you
can experience the satisfac-
tion without so much of the
work.
Consider growing flow-
ers or herbs in pots right
outside your door. Pick the
sunny side of the house and
remember to keep them
well -watered.
Grow something others
can eat. Even a few rows
of carrots or a trellis full of
green beans will produce
food that the local shelters
would love to have.
Grow something lovely
for others. Bouquets of
flowers grown on a patio
can be dropped off at the
hospital for patients who
need a day brightener.
If vision is a problem,
grow vegetables that aren't
green so they can be more
easily seen in the leaves.
If there is no way you can
grow vegetables or flowers
where you live, look around
your town. Many commu-
nities offer gardening space
for seniors, complete with
raised beds or vertical trel-
lises that make the work so
much easier. Ask at the se-
nior center, too.
My garden is of a more
modest size this year, but
I'm already discovering
that it's the care and feed-
ing of growing things that
brings the satisfaction, not
how many baskets of green
beans I'll can this summer.

Exercise Won't
Make Arthritis
Worse
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have osteoarthritis of the
hands, and my fingers have
bony knobs on the knuckles.
They look bad and hurt part
of the time. I was a registered
nurse and did lots of lifting
of patients. Is the arthritis
genetic or from the lifting?
I go to the gym two to three
times a week and have been
doing so for two years. Am I
making it worse? - CS.
ANSWER: Osteoarthritis
is the most common kind of
arthritis. At age 65, one-third
of people have evidence of
knee osteoarthritis, and close
to 1 00 percent of women have
evidence of osteoarthritis of
their hands and fingers. Not all
these people have symptoms.
The tiny bumps on the knuckle
below the fingernail are part
of the arthritis picture. Genes
are involved. Age, misalign-
ment of bones and injury are
other contributors. Exercise is
not responsible. Continue your
exercise program. Strong mus-
cles protect joints, and exercise
keeps them limber. Only if an
exercise is painful should you
stop it.
A joint is the place where
two bone ends meet. The ends
are covered with cartilage, and
the entire joint is surrounded
by a tough covering called the
joint capsule. Cartilage makes
it possible for one bone end to
move over the other painlessly.
Joint fluid, contained in the
joint by the joint capsule, oils
the joint and also keeps it op-
erating without friction. In os-
teoarthritis, the joint cartilage
begins to fray and crumble,
and the joint fluid thins.
There is no cure for os-
teoarthritis; there are treat-
ments. Tylenol is one of the
ing and donations are still
being accepted and raffle
tickets are available at Mil-
ton Hospital. Individual
tickets and group rates are
also available.

best and safest drugs. Aspirin
and nonsteroidal anti-inflam-
matory medicines (Aleve,
Advil, Motrin, etc.) are widely
prescribed. They can cause ul-
cers, so they have to be used in
moderation. Voltaren gel is an
anti -inflammatory applied to
the skin over an affected joint.
Less is absorbed this way, so
it has fewer side effects. The
doctor can inject a bothersome
joint with cortisone.
Artificial joints are always
worth consideration when ar-
thritis severely limits motion
and is quite painful. The joint
at the base of the thumb is of-
ten bothersome in women. An
operation thai inserts a small
piece of cartilage or other syn-
thetic material can cushion that
joint and bring great relief.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Have clubfeet disappeared?
When I was a child, I knew
several children who were
bom with them. Now I never
hear about it. I am 92. - R.T.
ANSWER: Clubfeet have
not disapf>eared. It happens to
about one in every 1 ,000 new-
borns.
This is something that hap-
pens during fetal development.
The foot bones are misaligned.
The result is the soles of the
feet turn to face each other, like
the position of praying hands
with palm against palm.
Taping, strapping and cast-
ing are some of the ways used
to treat clubfeet. Some infants
require surgery to attain nor-
mal foot alignment.

A THOi/enr
Memorial Day is a reverent day;
a day of gratitude and prayer for
our fallen countrymen who fell to
preserve freedom and honor of
their country. Those who died in
our wars did so in the unfulfilled
hope their sacrifice would bring
enduring peace.
Memorial Day is a proper time for all of us to
rededicate ourselves to peaceful purpose in our
world-wide relationships. It can be done. Gk>d's help
and guidance is available. We need only ask for it.
With His help, internal and external problems can be
solved. Strength, wisdom and courage can be ours to
meet every challenge and reach solutions for the bet-
terment of our country and mankind everywhere.
Memorial Day is a perfect time to realize our po-
tential for peace with a prayer that never again will
we have to praise the valor of our fighting men in any
future war . . .

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Untangling personal problems
might take more time than the
impatient Lamb expected. But
it's important to hang in there
until all those knotty situations
are straightened out.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You still need to work out last-
minute snags in your dealings
with a rival. Hold your ground
despite a perceived lack of sup-
port. Things should turn around
before you know it.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Best not to delay preparing for
that upcoming family event.
The sooner you get things start-
ed, the better chance you have
of finding potential problems
and making needed changes.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) The romantic Moon Child
might be reluctant to see the re-
ality behind that "ideal" situa-
tion. But by midweek, the prac-
tical Crab emerges to help clear
away the moonbeams.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Although the Big Cat might
be receptive to more "purr-
suasion" to get you to agree to
a workplace change, make sure
you can distinguish the fine line
between facts and flattery.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) Your positive attitude in
the workplace helps to get you
noticed by the right people.
Now go ahead and use some
of that new self-confidence to
help shore up a personal rela-
tionship.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) Although you might
still have to work out some
problems with a business part-
ner, things go more smoothly
on the home front. An invest-
ment opportunity might need
more study.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) Don't be reluctant
to act on your suspicion. Even
if others see nothing wrong, the
astute Scorpio could sense an
underlying problem that isn't
always obvious on the surface.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) A new op-
portunity presents some obsta-
cles that need to be dealt with
as soon as possible. Delaying
acfion in hopes that the prob-
lems will go away could be
counterproductive.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) A friend or fam-
ily member's request might
carry some hidden factors that
could later create problems. Be
sure you know all the facts be-
fore you make your decision.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A setback in im-
plementing a plan could turn
out to be a blessing in disguise.
Use the downtime to rework
your original concepts and see
where changes could be made.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You might not be
consciously fishing for compli-
ments, but admit it -- won't you
feel great when your efforts are
noticed? So accept the praise
gracefully. You earned it.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your
love of beauty in your personal
life extends to your efforts to
protect and preserve the natural
world around you.

"Our move was made by
territorial leaders because

ABOUT PODIATRISTS
Our feet are meant to
keep us balanced and mo-
bile. The bones in the feet
make up about 25 percent
of all the bones in the hu-
man body. Podiatrists are
specially trained to diagnose
and treat the feet, and they
must be licensed. Many
podiatrists have their own
practice or work within a
group with other health prac-
titioners. Depending on their
board-certified specialty,
podiatrists may place their
emphasis on sports medi-
cine, diabetic foot care, pe-
diatrics, radiology or a num-
ber of other concentrations.
Some specialize In surgery,
primary care, or orthopedics.
Most podiatrists are support-
ed by a staff of assistants.
Some visit patients in elder
care facilities. Podiatrists
tend to treat fewer emer-
gencies than other doctors.

atrists in this state who has

Mayor Thomas Koch for-
mally kicked-off his re-elec-
tion bid on Thursday, telling
more than 800 supporters
in a packed ballroom at the
Quincy Elks that there "is
nothing we cannot achieve
when we come together as a
community."
Koch, who is running for
his second two-year term,
rallied supporters by tell-
ing them that the November
election, "will not be about
anyone's self-interest, but
the city's best interests."
"It is all about the City
of Quincy, and everybody in
this room and everybody in
this community is a part of
it," Koch said.
The mayor, flanked by
his wife, Christine and his
three children, touched on
the city's financial situation,
working together with the
city unions to save millions
of dollars in health insur-
TOM KOCH
ance costs, savings on the
trash collection, and taking
action to deal with a historic
fiscal crisis.
He later highlighted the
city's efforts to clear hid-
den deficits, reign in spend-
ing on the new Quincy High
School project and the probe
into the 2007 energy deal
that sparked an ongoing
state investigation.
"We dealt with the mess,
we righted the ship, and we
are working through some
of the most extraordinary
financial Umes in our city's
history," Koch said. "The
numbers are daunting, the
task is difficult, but there is
nothing we cannot achieve
when we come together as a
community. And it is in that
spirit that we will continue
to make Quincy the greatest
city in the Commonwealth."
Koch did not address
any specific challengers in
his announcement, but said
the campaign will bring the
same honest message that it
did two years ago.
"I kept getting told,
'You've got to punch back,""
Koch said. "Well, we took
the high road then, and we
will take the high road this
year, bringing our message
to every citizen of Quincy,
holding coffee hours, and
knocking on doors. 1 am
ready and 1 need your help.
Let's go get 'em."

hnalists in the recent online

tion and American Express.
"Partners in Preserva-
tion" announced on May 1 8

Greater Boston civic leaders
and preservationists. A total
of $1,000,000 in preserva-
tion grants will be awarded.
During the five week

He said the congrega-
tion "is proud of what it has
achieved in moving from

believe that we are very
much in the running to win

win a grant, this program
has greatly increased public
awareness of this magnifi-
cent building."
The historic church
building, built in 1828, is an
architectural masterpiece in
the Greek Revival Style by
Boston architect Alexander
Parris and serves as a living
monument to the two U.S.
Presidents, John Adams and
John Quincy Adams, whose
tombs rest in a crypt within
the church building, along-
side the tombs of their wives
Abigail Adams and Louisa
Catherine Adams.
United First Parish
Church, founded in 1639,
was the church for eight
generations of the Adams
family, including the two
Presidents, and continues
today as an active congrega-
tion holding services, host-
ing civic events, and con-
ducting public tours.

Koch Calls Trip
To Washington 'Success'
Mayor Thomas Koch
said Tuesday he completed
an "extremely positive,
and extremely productive"
round of meetings in Wash-
ington, DC. last week. He
said the administration con-
tinues to build broad-based
support for the historic $1
billion plan to redevelop
Quincy Center.
Koch and members of the
Quincy Center development
team met with Senator John
Kerry, Congressman Wil-
liam Delahunt and Senator
Edward Kennedy's office to
update officials on the plan's
progress and lobby for fed-
eral government's support
of a plan that would create
the largest influx of jobs and
private investment in Quin-
cy history.
"Since taking office,
we've worked hard to build
strong partnerships with our
state and federal leaders, and
these partnerships will be
never more important than
they are now as we move
forward with the Quincy
Center project," Koch said.
"Everybody has a stake in
this project-from our local
officials, to Beacon Hill, to
our leaders in Washington-
and it's critical that they are
invested in it from the be-
ginning."
Koch said the city's Cap-
itol delegation is "complete-
ly on board" with the down-
town plan, and meetings
centered around potential
for injecting federal money
into infrastructure projects
in Quincy Center. He said
that funding possibilities
include the federal stimulus
package, the federal Trans-
portation Bond Bill, and the
federal budget.
"Congressman Dela-
hunt and Senators Kerry
and Kennedy are working
hard on our behalf, and they
clearly see that this project
is precisely the kind of eco-
nomic development that we
need during these historical-
ly challenging times," K(x:h
said. "1 am truly grateful for
all their support to date, and
look forward to continuing
to work together."
The city's negotiations
with developer Street-Works
are ongoing, and included a
meeting with the develop-
er's Washington-based legal
team, Koch said. This week,
the City Council is again
taking up proposed zoning
changes downtown, and the
public will get its first full
look at plans revised fol-
lowing more than 20 public
meetings hosted by Mayor
Koch over the last month.

Zoning Board Rejects
'Baby Doll' Studio
"Baby Dolls" won't be
dancing in North Quincy as
least for the time being.
The Zoning Board of
Appeals (ZBA) last week
rejected a variance request
for a "change of u.-.e which
would have allowed The
Billings Street Dance Stu-
dio, better known as the
'Baby Dolls/ to operate at
37 Billings Rd., Norfolk
Downs.
"The Zoning Board found
that it would be substantial-
ly more detrimental and a
more intense use," Ward 6
City Councillor Brian Mc-
Namee said, explaining the
ZBA's May 19 decision.
McNamee said the com-
pany's business plan in-
dicated that dance classes
would change on the hour
and different instructors
and classes would be com-
ing and going in the already
congested business district.
McNamee and Ward
5 Councillor Doug Gutro
spoke at the hearing which
drew some 50 spectators.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin, also, attended the
meeting.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On May 30, 1806, in
a duel with pistols, future
President Andrew Jackson
kills a man who insulted
his wife, Rachel, who mar-
ried Jackson before being
divorced from her previous
husband. Rachel's divorce
caused more of a scandal in
the press and in parlors than
Jackson's killing of Charles
Dickinson.
•On May 31, 1870, Pro
fessor Edward Joseph De
Smedt receives two patents
for "French asphalt pave-
ment." On July 29. the first
road pavement of sheet as-
phalt was laid on William
Street in Newark. N.J.
• On May 26, 1924.
President Calvin Coolidge
signs into law the Compre-
hensive Immigration Act.
which denied entry to Mexi-
cans, Eastern and Southern
Europeans and Japanese.
The Japanese government
viewed the American law as
an insult, and declared May
26 a national day of humili-
ation in Japan.
• On May 27, 1937. San
Francisco's Golden Gate
Bridge opens to the public
after five years of construc-
tion. At 4,200 feet, it was the
longest bridge in the world
until the completion of New
York City's Verrazano-Nar-
rows Bridge in 1964.
• On May 29, 1953, Ed
mund Hillary of New Zea-
land becomes the first ex-
plorer to reach the summit
of Mount Everest, which, at
29,035 feet above sea level,
is the highest point on earth.
The first recorded attempt
to climb Everest was made
in 1921 by a British expedi-
tion.
• On May 25, 1977, the
first of George Lucas' block-
buster "Star Wars" mov-
ies hits American theaters.
"Star Wars" was soon a
bona-fide pop culture phe-
nomenon. Over the years it
has spawned five more fea-
ture films, five TV series and
an entire industry's worth of
comic books, toys, video
games and other products.
•On May 28, 1987. Mat-
thias Rust, a 19-year-old
amateur pilot from West
Germany, takes off from
Finland, travels through
more than 400 miles of So-
viet airspace, and lands his
small Cessna aircraft in Red
Square by the Kremlin in
Moscow. The event proved
to be an immense embar-
rassment to the Soviet gov-
ernment and military. One
American diplomat in the
Soviet Union joked. "Maybe
we should build a bunch of
Cessnas." Soviet officials
were not amused.

Memorial Day 2009
So, how was your Memorial Day weekend?
Relax outdoors? Barbecue? Maybe a little golf or
boating?
Monday marked the unofficial start of the summer sea-
son. But to me, Memorial Day is much more than firing up
the gas grill or crossing the Sagamore Bridge to the Cape
for the first time.
Don't get me wrong. 1 like a good burger and a warm,
sunny day in Dennis Port like so many others do.
But the last Monday in May should - and does - mean
more than that.
Memorial Day - formerly known as Decoration Day -
commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the
military service. It was first enacted to honor Union soldiers
of the American Civil War. But after World War 1. the holi-
day was expanded to include American casualties of any
war or military action.
You don't need a calendar to know when Memorial
Day is approachmg. Just pass by any cemetery. Countless
American flags decorate the graves of those who gave the
ultimate .sacrifice in war time and other deceased veterans
who served this country.
Of course, many Americans also use Memorial Day
to honor other family members who have died. Count me
among that group.
For many years, on Memorial Day weekend, my parents
would take my sisters and me to visit the graves of family
members. Sure, part of the weekend was for fun and enjoy-
ment. But time was always made for the cemeteries. There
we remembered loved ones and the years we shared together
as family. One day to remember. To pay respects.
Every Memorial Day weekend, we knew Dad was going
to the cemeteries. We'd watch him visit the graves and plant
flowers and remove weeds around headstones and markers.
We'd pause at the graves and pray silently. We left the
grave sites in better shape than we found them, adorned with
pretty flowers. We left the cemetery with rekindled memo-
ries of loved ones who are no longer here.
So that's what I've come to expect each Memorial Day,
although this year, it's the memory of my Dad that is still
strong and vivid.
1 remember one Memorial Day weekend 1 stopped into
my parent's house and mentioned that 1 had visited all the
graves already, and placed some flowers at one cemetery
which was a considerable distance.
"You really visited all the graves, Bobby." he said,
pleased and proud.
"Of course, I did. That's what you taught me."
Henry then paused a moment. "Well, Bob, 1 hope you
visit the cemeteries after I'm gone."
The sentence struck me but I didn't want to contemplate
it too much. 1 said that was something that won't happen for
a long Ume.
On this holiday weekend, that time came.
My wife Amy and I along with my mom planted red ge-
raniums at Henry's grave. We brought potting soil and gar-
den tools. Other family also visited with flowers in tow. To-
gether we beautified his resting place in a way Henry would
have been proud.

The three of us also visited another nearby cemetery
and planted flowers there. On our way home, my wife and
1 made one more stop at a
cemetery in East Bridge-
water.
Sure the visits were
somber.
But you know what?
For me, cemeteries
evoke an inner calm . They
are peaceful sanctuaries
from today's hectic grind
of everyday life. And the
more 1 visit the better I
feel. And now I'm find-
ing going to the cemetery
easier than leaving it.
I know not everyone
feels the same way about cemeteries. But someone once
said to me that cemeteries are not for the deceased, they're
for the living. And when I visit Henry's grave, I remember
my father's life as my dad, not his death. Same as when I go
to work at the paper. 1 can still feel his presence.
Of course, cemeteries have a not-so-subtle way of re-
minding us of our mortality. And sooner or later, everyone
has to come to terms with this conclusion.
Oddly enough, it was a few months following my fa-
ther's passing — not directly after ~ that got me thinking
about my own mortality.
The first "reminder" came one evening after work. There
was a telephone message on the home answering machine.
It was a lawyer inquiring about the estate of the late Rob-
ert Bosworth. My wife called the woman back and quickly
cleared up the confusion: this Robert Bosworth was still
very much alive.
A short time later 1 decided to visit my father's grave for
the first time since his funeral. It was a Wednesday evening
after work and 1 wanted to stop and visit. Emotional? Yes.
Necessary? You bet.
As I lingered at the site, 1 started scanning the rows and
rows of neatly lined headstones and recognized some of the
last names. Some I knew personally.
And that's when the question finally surfaced: where will
I be laid to rest?
Within a few days, 1 began making inquiries about burial
plots at an area cemetery. The costs, different types, things
like that. Then 1 called back and arranged a pre-need con-
sultation and a tour.
On tour day it was raining pretty good. I stood in one
section, surveying the land. The gende green slopes were
doted with monuments, markers, flowers and trees. Next to
me was the president of the cemetery holding a black um-
brella over my head. He kindly and respectfully answered
all my quesfions. He also assured me that it was not uncom-
mon for someone who has lost a loved one to inquire about
burial plots.
Soon enough, we were in his car driving around the ce-
metery in the pouring rain. I learned about mausoleums,
flush markers and monument secfions. Interestingly enough,
1 was told some people buy their burial plot along with their
headstone and have the stone erected on the site while they
are still alive. Some people, evidently, visit their own future
grave sites.
In some ways, 1 felt like a prospective homebuyer loo-
king at property. Should the plot be in the sun or under a
tree? What about buying a space in a section that has yet to
be developed but will fill in over the years? Is the area quiet
or near the street?
So our trek around the cemetery took on the feel of a
realtor with a prospecfive buyer. Only this time I wasn't in-
terested in three bedrooms and one and a half baths.
But the overriding concern was still the same: location,
location, location.
And 1 kept coming back to the same location: near my
father.
Now, when I go back to the cemetery, I pass my own plot
while visiting my father's grave.
It's been 19 years since I moved out of my parent's house
in Braintree. And ever since, my dad would say to me, "Hey,
when are you moving back this way?"
Somehow 1 think he knows that someday, I'll be back in
his neighborhood.

Scenes From Yesterday
■^
THIS IS A 1928 real photo postcard view of the old
Norfolk Downs railroad depot looking south with the
end of Billings Road where the car is stopped on the
left. The grade crossing shown here was a temporary
road while the West Squantum Street bridge was being
rebuilt. At the time, more than 150 trains a day passed
through here. The city once had a plan to build a major
east-west roadway through here, with an overpass over
the tracks, connecting Adams Street in East Milton via
Holbrook and Billings Road to Quincy Shore Drive
near Fenno Street. Other than the tracks everything
in this view is now gone. The Pneumatic Scale factory
building on the right is now the site of a Super Stop
and Shop and the depot in the center is on the site of a
Chipotle Mexican restaurant. To contact Tom Galvin,

Does Not Support 20-Story Height Increase
Editor 's Note: A copy of
this letter written to Ward 5
Councillor Doug Gutro was
submitted to The Quincy
Sun for publication by the
author.
Dear Doug,
i understand that the City
Council will be taking up
the matter of increasing the
height limit to 20 stories as
apart of the downtown de-
velopment plans.
I am asking( you and)
the city council not to vote
in favor. This is not the time
and I believe there are sev-
eral good reasons.
We need to see what is
happening with the con-
course, the present demo-
lition of buildings for the
concourse and the actual
road construction, and how
it is going work for us.
There will be at least one
change in the make up of the
city council with the retire-
ment of Leo Kelly, and the
new city council member or
members should be able to
have input into something
that would take place when
they are sitting on the city
council.
The plan, as I understand
it, puts the final say in Plan-
ning Dept.and not with the
publicly elected city coun-
cil. This means the final say
is to made by an appointee
of whoever happens to be
mayor at the time. The City
Council would be powerless
is decision making for a 20
story building in our down-
town.
(This is a biggie for me.)
We do not exactly
know where a proposed 20
story building would be at
this time or the impact on
our skyline and present day
important landmarks, such
as the Church of the Presi-
dents.
We now have a 15 story
height which will provide
union jobs and work for
many Quincy residents and
with the construction of the
new high school, BJ's, etc
we are certainly showing
signs of growth and prog-
ress.
Again. I urge you and all
the councillors not to vote
in favor( this coming Mon-
day.)
Thank you..

Serving Our Country To Keep It Free
Those of us who fought
and died, we know the rea-
sons why.
We ask for what reason
do you criticize our service
to those who are alive. We
the chosen few of many who
served, would like to be
alive; but know in war not
all will survive.
There are different rea-
sons why we ask you to re-
alize why we rest in noble
honor in graveyards. We
are not desired by most who
serve, but we know there
is always a reason why we
should.
We gave you freedom
and the right to choose your
way in life without being
penalized, for your way of
life.
We the sons and daugh-
ters are not bitter of our sac-
rifice because we shown our
love for what this country
stands for.
We are not perfect and
maybe never will be but we
love our families, country-
men and humanity; to do
our duty for this country to
keep us free.
Love of family, friends
and patriofism to this coun-
try in which we lived. "To
those of you who do not
wish to serve;" what would
happen if we let things be.
If it weren't for the likes of
me. To do our duty for free-
dom cause.

Natalie's Whole WheatAVhite Bread
On a recent game show, one of the ques-
tions w as what is your favorite kind of aroma
coming from a kitchen? And the top answer
was the smell of bread baking.
My niece Natalie called me one day very
excited about .her recent recipe for baking
bread. She uses a blend of both whole wheat
and white flour with amazing results..
She said although the recipe is easy, it
takes a little time to get it right, but well
worth it.
Whole WhatAVhite Bread
1 package of dry yeast (use with 1/4 cup
water and 1/4 teaspoon sugar)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups . milk
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups white flour
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Follow the directions on the yeast package
and let set for five minutes
In a bowl, add the sugar, salt and the wheat
flour.
In a sauce pan, heat the milk and the but-
ter until warm. Do not boil.
Using a hand mixer, add the liquid into
the dry mixture and the yeast mixture also.
Add in the white flour until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough and shape into a ball. Use
cooking spray and in a large bowl turn the
dough over in the bowl so the ball is well
greased. Cover and put in a warm place for
about one hour.
After the dough has doubled in size,
punch it down and pull in the sides. Cut
into two pieces for two loaf pans, and place
onto a floured surface. Leave for about 15
minutes.
Roll out the dough and roll into a loaf
size pinching the ends to keep it closed. Put
in a greased loaf pan with the seam down.
Cover the pans and let it rise (for about two
hours and she said it rose beautifully.)
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Take out of
pans and let cool. Serve warm and. enjoy!
After reading a basic recipe for white
bread, Natalie actually made the change by
blending the two flours and was pleased
with the outcome.

the age of 75. He had spent
some 40 years of his life in-

Quincy from the Wrentham
State School.
For many people. Frankie
was a special person dur-
ing the 35 years he lived
in Quincy. Frankie lived
at Tobin Towers, but made
regular rounds to visit all
his friends in Wollaston and

His relatives lived on the

Quincy and they said he
would not leave his home

Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi is seeking a
major study of the fire de-
partment's medical response
and possible alternatives so-
lutions.
While City Council
hasn't discussed his pro-
posal yet, the city's already
getting payback from the
resolve.
Raymondi said the city
is saving $4,000 to $5,000
a year now after closing
a loophole in medical re-
sponse costs.
Raymondi filed a reso-
lution seeking a committee
to study the city's medical
emergency response sys-
tem on May 4. City Council
President Jay Davis object-
ed to the resolution which
was re-introduced and sent
to committee study on May
20.
Since that time. Acting
Chief Joseph Barron and
Peter Racicot, Senior Vice
President, Fallon Ambu-
lance reviewed the city's
current contract and found
an estimated $4,000 to
$5,000 annual oversight.
According to Barron,
city funds have been used
to cover medical equipment
used by firefighters when

answering medical emer-
gencies.
Under the city's contract
with Fallon Ambulance, the
company was resonsible
for purchasing or reimburs-
ing the city for a number of
items, such as gloves, oxy-
gen and defibrillator.
However, those details
fell by the wayside until
Raymondi 's resolution.
Barron said he and Raci-
cot reviewed the contract
details and "...had a very
productive meeting. There
seems to have been a mis-
communication,"
Barron believes the prob-
lem occurred when the city
relinquished Quincy City
Hospital in 1999 and the
hospital was privatized.
"They agreed to pick up
all the costs." Barron said of
the Fallon's response to the
misunderstanding.
While every dollar
counts, Raymondi 's resolu-
tion calls for a committee to
study the fire department's
medical response system
with the goal of major com-
pensation for the city.
"City employees at tax-
payers' expense are acting
as a referral service for the
private ambulance company
with no compensation from
the company to the City of
Quincy "Raymondi said
in his resolution.
Raymondi also wants
a review of the number of
ambulances regulariy as-
signed to Quincy. He cited
the population of the city
and noted, "...often times,
there are occasions whereby
seven or eight ambulances
are needed...."
As for Raymondi 's reso-
lution, Barron said he is
"open to exploring alter-
natives," but he has been
pleased with the training and
professionalism of Fallon's
staff.
Barron said he, previ-
ously, had first-hand knowl-
edge of their competency as
head of the response team.

Mercury is a toxic metal. When it is released into the air (by trash incinerators, landfills and
wastewater discharges) it can accumulate in people and wildlife. Children and fetuses are
particularly vulnerable, because it can damage their developing nervous systems.

Salary Of $80,000 To $100,000 Seen
Auditor's Post Will
Be Re- Advertised
The CounciTs opening
for an auditor will be re-
advertised in The Boston
Globe and the state registry,
according to City Council
President Jay Davis.
The city's official Salary
Ordinance lists the position
as starting at over $94,000,
but Mayor Thomas Koch
has not included the audi-
tor's salary in his proposed
2010 budget.
City Council recently
voted to reduce the qualifi-
cations for applicants from a
master's degree to a bache-
lor's degree. In addition, the
position no longer requires
municipal finance experi-
ence, but allows similar ex-
perience.
Davis" search committee
consisting of Councillor Mi-
chael McFarland and Ward 6
Councillor Brian .McNamee
reviewed the first round of
candidates, hut declined to
JAY DAVIS
name the applicants or the
finalists.
After the interviews, Da-
vis said that the candidates
had not met the advertised
qualifications and the coun-
cil revised the requirements.
Councillor Joseph
Finn recommended a sal-
ary of between $80,000 and
$100,000 for the new hire,
but councillors have not dis-
cussed changing the salary.

spokesman, said the budget

Former Auditor Rick
Fitzpatrick submitted his
resignation nearly a year
ago to take a position with

his notice in June and left in

Susan O'Connor has
been Acting Auditor since
Koch appointed her last Au-
gust.
In October, the council
voted to reorganize the city's
finance department and de-

Veterans' Flags Sought For Flag Day Parade June 13
Planning for the SS"" An-
nual Flag Day Parade and
Celebration on June 13 is in
full swing, with coordina-
tors now issuing their an-
nual call for veterans' flags
to be displayed during the
long-time summer tradition
in Quincy.
'Thanks to the Quincy
Partnership and our city's
corporate partners, we will
be having the same won-
derful community event
we have every year despite
the tough economy," said
Mayor Thomas Koch, the
Flag Day Committee Chair-
man for more than 15 years.

current value at roughly
$225.0(X),(K) and said Me-
keta Investment Group of
Westwood has handled the
investments.
The city has plenty of
company in the losses. Mas-
terson told Finance Commit-
tee members, noting that the
state's pension fund suffered
an even greater loss with a
29% hit. That percentage
could equal to a $10 to $1 1
billion loss.
In addition, the Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corp,
which insures the pension
plans of nearly 44 million
Americans, has more than
tripled its $1 1 billion deficit
to $33.5 billion.
"Every market index was
in decline," Masterson said,
adding that a 25% loss in
employee 401 K's was the
norm in the past year.
Masterson said that em-
ployee contributions to the
city's fund are increasing
with the number of new
hires.
In the early 1970's, em-
ployees contributed as little
at 5^1 of their salaries to the
fund. Today, new employees
must contribute 9% to the
fund and 1 1 % for all income
over $30,000, according to
Masterson.
Changes in the city's
contribution to the pension
fund will not be affected by
the losses until 2012 after
the fund's scheduled audit.
In the current budget,
the city's retirement and
pension contribution is
$18,3980.129. That will
increase to $19,673,656 in
2010.

to research Kristine Lilly,
a star soccer player and a
pioneer of women's team
sports. Amazingly. Kayla's
and Alyssa's research proj-
ect came alive when Kris-
tine Lilly walked right into
their classroom.
Legendary U.S. Olympic
Gold Medalist Kristine Lil-
ly was touched by emailed
research questions she re-
ceived from Alyssa and
Kayla. Instead of answer-
ing the students' questions
by email, Kristine Lilly
suggested she could visit
Broad Meadows and answer
Kayla's and Alyssa's ques-
tions in person. On May 18,
Kristine Lilly spent an hour
giving answers to students
and receiving a huge student
honor.
Kristine Lilly was induct-
ed into the class Ground-
breaker Hall of Fame by:
Kayla McArdle and Alyssa
Lydon, grade 7 students at
Broad Meadows Middle
School for these reasons:
Kristine Lilly is the iron
woman of soccer and a bar-
rier breaker.
Kristine Lilly, sports
pioneer, helped open a new
Women's Professional Soc-
cer League also known as
WPS.
She had to overcome un-
fair treatment of women's
team sports, lack of support-
ers, ignorance and media
apathy.
Kristine Lilly said the
new league will, "...give
young girls their dream
back."

goal to shoot for.
Julie Bloomer and Bran-
di Isaacs, also in iirade 7.
introduced Kristine Lilly
to the entire school in the
auditorium by explaining
the groundbreaker research
project.
Brandi said, "We are
honoring groundbreakers
such as:
Today's Therese Murray,
first female President of the
State Senate;
Martha Coakley, Massa-
chusetts' first female State
Attorney General, and yes-
terday's Lowell Mill Girls
and the female workers of
the Lawrence cloth making
mills, who stood up together
in the 1900s and went out on
strike in the famous "Bread
and Roses" strike, which
sent a message to everyone
that women should be paid
a fair wage, just like men.
Women workers should be
paid enough money to buy
the necessifies for their
families such as "bread" but
also be paid enough to have
some nice things, too, like
"roses" once in a while.
Julie added, "When we
get jobs, we'll be stand-
ing on the shoulders of the
Lowell Mill Girls and the
Lawrence Bread and Roses
strikers, and we'll be pro-
tected by laws that Therese
Murray will vote to pass,
the laws Martha Coakley
enforces.
"In memory and in honor
of those who came before us
in Lowell and in Lawrence,
we present this bread and
these roses to you, Kristine,
because girls need bread,
roses and an equal opportu-
nity to get whatever job they
are qualified for, even pro
athlete."
This year, we are also
being honoring as ground-
breakers these people:
Barack Obama, Eunice

phy from the students in Mrs. Catherine Carey's classroom.
Shriver, Anh "Joseph" Cao,
Shirley Chisholm, Alice
Paul, Manon Rheaume,
parent Paula Morrisson,
and neighbor Flo DiTuUio
Joyce. If you are counting,
that makes 1 2 groundbreak-
ers honored. Number 13 is
Kristine Lilly!
Kristine Lilly then took
the microphone and passed
along this advice.
Kristine told the students:
"One of the best moments
of my 20 year soccer career
came in 1999 when the U.S.
Women's National Team
won the World Cup. I was a
member of that team. It was
huge not only because we
won the Cup, but because
of what happened that sum-
mer.
"That summer the nation
for the first time ever took
an interest in our women's
national team. Over 90,000
people came to see us play
the final in the Rose Bowl.
Over 40 million people
watched us on TV that sum-
mer. Our team's play in that
World Cup changed people's
view on women's sports. A
movement happened that
summer. We women were
seen not as female athletes
but as athletes. I am proud
to have played a role in that
movement to elevate wom-
en's team sports."
Kristine Lilly explained
to the packed auditorium:
"A little background on
how I came to visit your
school today. Two of your
classmates were research-
ing groundbreakers in their
Language Arts class. Other
students were studying Ba-
rack Obama, Alice Paul,
Martha Coakley, Ahn Cao,
Jackie Robinson, but two
girls chose me. It is quite
an honor that Alyssa Lydon
and Kayla McArdle feel I
am one of the groundbreak-
ers. There are so many who
came before you, before me,
who have made a difference
such as Billie Jean King or
Title IX which gives girls
and boys equal opportu-
nity in everything. I am a
Title IX baby. I was bom
in 1971. Title IX legislation
was passed in 1972. 1 am so
grateful for Title IX. We're
still fighting little battles
here and there, but it is great
to be a female in our soci-
ety right now because there
are so many opportunities
not just on the athlefic fields
but everywhere. To be part
of your Groundbreaker cel-
ebration today is truly hum-
bling. I am grateful to be
here today."
Alyssa Lydon asked this
question: "Your high school
soccer teams won 3 state
BROAD MEADOWS students surround Kristine LUly who
honored her for her pioneering work for women's sports
teams.
championships. Your col-
lege, UNC, won four nation-
al championships, and we
all know about your Gold
Medals in the Olympics and
Worid Cup Championships.
So, what are the keys to
winning?"
Kristine Lilly responded:
"What jumps to mind is
hard work. There is no sub-
stitute for hard work. When
you work hard good things
happen. You can't win ev-
ery game, but you can work
hard every game, every
practice, every homework
assignment, every class. If
your friends or teammates
are also working really hard,
anything is possible, even a
World Cup or an Olympic
Gold Medal."
(note: the U.S. teams
Kristine Lilly has played
on have won two Olympic
Gold Medals and two World
Cups.)
Kristine added: "Always
believe in your teammates,
and in yourself and in oth-
ers. Keep going. Never stop.
When it gets tough, keep
going."
When asked about nutri-
tion and body image, Kris-
tine Lilly responded: "Girls
sometimes struggle with
food. Society puts pressure
on girls and their appear-
ance. Girls sometimes feel
judged by how thin they
are, but it's important to feel
good about yourself and to
stay strong. You need three
squares. Hydrate yourself.
Food is your energy source.
Don't worry about what oth-
ers look like or do. Do what
is best for you."
Kristine was asked about
veteran leadership. She an-
swered: "As a veteran play-
er I talk to the younger play-
ers, show them how to be a
professional on and off the
field. I tell them when they
are struggling a bit to focus
on their strengths. Too many
times people who are strug-
gling focus on what they are
not doing right. If you focus
on your strengths, then you
have some successes and
your confidence level comes
back up again. Finish your
goals. Work together.

FIRE SAFETY
by Ciqitiiin Tom Lyons
Fbrt Prevention Bureau
Quincy Pbv f>€portm«n$
New Codes, Regulations
Here we go again! 1 just
opened a packet of updated
code and regulations from
the State Fire Marshal and
we're asked to enforce new
changes once again. This
time it will apply to all
homes while immediately
affecting those up for sale
needing a smoke and carbon
monoxide detector certifi-
cate from us. The new reg-
ulation will take effect on
January 1, 2010 while this
article will forewarn you of
its coming.
I just wrote an article on
the subject suggesting that
we'd see more of this issue
in the months to come. Lit-
tle did 1 know how soon it
would surface while months
turned into days, literally.
Here's what it's about.
Studies have shown that
a photoelectnc smoke de-
tector is quicker to sense
the larger, visible smoke
particulates which are more
prevalent in a slowly devel-
oping, smoldering fire such
as that found in the incipi-
ent stages of a fire in uphol-
stered furniture. This type of
fire is more prevalent within
a home, which is why a pho-
toelectric smoke detector is
preferred within a home.
That being said, Massachu-
setts' regulations pertaining
to smoke detectors as of
January 1 , 2010 will specify
the need for photoelectric
detectors within homes
Ionization type of smoke
detectors are historically
more prevalent where they
have been less expensive to
purchase and make. They're
easier to find as well. How-
ever, that same study has
indicated that they are less
effective against your more
common residential fires,
smoldering fires. Conse-
quently, the State Fire Mar-
shal 's Office is now attempt-
ing to prompt households to
comply with these newer
findings, requiring the more
effective photoelectric type.
This is how the regulation
is written. There will be no
grandfathering of existing
conditions. Older homes,
built prior to the need for
hard-wired smoke detec-
tors, will now require a bat-
tery ojjerated photoelectric
smoke detector when it is to
be located within 20 feet of a
kitchen or bathroom. Anoth-
er wards, an ionization type
of smoke detector can no
longer be located within 20
feet of a bathroom or kitchen
no matter how old the home.
Outside of that 20 feet, let's
say at the base of the cellar
stairs, a combination photo-
electric/ionization detector
will be required and if not
available, a separate pho-
toelectric and an ionization
type of detector is required.
That's right; two detectors
will be required under cer-
tain circumstances!
Here's hoping the tech-
nology for the combination
type is available by then
otherwise two separate de-
tectors will be required in
areas outside of the 20 feet.
Here's hoping the manufac-
turers clearly mark the dif-
ferent types as well. At any
rate, you heard it here first!
Remember, this change
will apply to all homes while
our inspections will initially
be directed at homes under
agreement for sale where
a certificate from us is re-
quired. Meanwhile, come
January, we will be here
to guide you through these
changes and answer any
questions you may have.
The Nicole's Law imple-
mentation went well, 1 be-
lieve this will do so as well.
Be safe!

SMOKELESS NOT HARMLESS
A recent study shows that use co, the bigger your risk of getting
of snuff and chewing totiacco by
adolescent boys in this country
has surged over tfie past few
years. According to a report from
the U.S. Sutstance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Admin-
istration, there has been a 30
percent increase in the rate of
smokeless totjacco use among
boys aged 12-17 years over a
recent five-year period. This find-
ing is worrying on at least two
important fronts: First, smoke-
less tobacco is as addictive as
cigarettes and does not assist in
weaning oneself from smoking.
Second, using smokeless tobac-
cancer. Dont let it be too late!
Cfiewing totiacco and snuff can
cause mouth and throat cancer.

Genes Have a
Hand in Stone
Formation
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I come from a family of six
girls, and I am the youngest.
My five sisters all have had
gallstones and have had their
gallbladders removed. Am I
doomed to the same fate?
My sisters are large-
bodied. Tm not. Could their
weight have influenced gall-
stone formation? - EJl.
ANSWER: Family his-
tory of gallstones is a definite
factor in the risk of coming
down with stones. Your family
proves the point. However, it's
not the sole factor, so you're
not doomed to having gall-
stones.
Obesity is a strong influ-
ence on stone formation. On
that score, you're in a safe
zone.
A high-calorie, high-fat
diet disposes a person to gall-
stones.
Rapid weight loss is anoth-
er factor that favors the devel-
opment of stones. Cholesterol
is the main constituent of most
gallstones. Rapid weight loss
mobilizes cholesterol from
body storage depots, and that's
why it can bring on gallstones.
Estrogen is another con-
tributor to stones. It increases
the uptake of cholesterol from
food, and it increases the
amount of cholesterol in bile.
Bile is made by the liver. It
aids in digesting fat. When bile
becomes saturated with cho-
lesterol, stones form.
You're home clear on most
of the things that contribute to
stone formation. You're not
destined to be a victim.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Some time ago you had a
recipe for a natural laxative.
I cut it out and used it, and
hut now I need it again and
I can't find it. Would you
please, please repeat it? I am
in bad shape now. - RJ(.
ANSWER: Ifs not my
recipe. I got it from someone
else.
You mix 2 cups of bran
with 2 cups of applesauce
and I cup of unsweetened
prune juice. Bran is the stuff
removed from grains during
refining. It's great fiber. Fiber
keeps undigested food moist
as it moves through the diges-
tive tract. You can buy bran in
health-food stores.
Refrigerate the mixture,
and take 2 or 3 tablespoons
twice a day.
You can add any ingredi-
ent you want to this mixture to
make it more to your liking -
fruits, nuts, raisins, whatever.
Constipation is endemic in
countries where refined grains
are in vogue. The booklet on
this topic is a discussion of
how best to deal with it. Read-
ers can order a copy by writ-
ing: Dr. Donohue - No. 504W,
Box 536475, Orlando, FL
32853-6475. Enclose a check
or money order (no cash) for

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
What does "essential" in
front of "hypertension"
mean? My doctor writes it
down as my diagnosis on
every form I give him. I say
I have high blood pressure,
and that always does it for
me.-J.T.
ANSWER: Essential hy-
f)ertension is the common kind
of hypertension - high blood
pressure. It means there is no
other process going on that's
raising blood pressure. "Sec-
ondary" hypertension indicates
that blood pressure has risen
because of some other illness,
like an adrenal gland tumor.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is

ters, but he will incorporate them
in his column whenever possible.

A Job Weil Done
On Saturday, May 10, at approximately 9:42 a.m..
Officer David Levine was dispatched to the CVS Phar-
macy in Wollaston on a report
of two fennales trying to pass a
false prescription.
Upon arrival, the officer
spoke with the pharmacist,
who said that the two fe-
males were no longer in the
store but reasoned that they
would come back because
this was the third time the two
had tried to do this. Ihe phar-
macist said one of the females
used a Massachusetts Driver's
license and claimed the per-
son on the script is their sister
and she does not have identification to pick it up. A check
of the license number provided a Quincy address.
The pharmacist provided the two other scripts
along with the one prescription from today. He also
had the two other scripts used in March and April, which
also had the same license number on them. This script
was made out for a different name than the other two and
all were for the drug "Adderall."
The pharmacist told the suspects to come back in an
hour for the prescription. She then contacted the psy-
chiatry office on the scripts and they confirmed the pad to
be stolen and they had no patient by the name provided
by the suspects. Officer Levine reviewed the videotape
in order to recognize the suspects, then checked the im-
mediate area, but the suspects were gone.
At approximately 10:21 a.m. Officer Levine returned
to the CVS after the pharmacist called stating the two
suspects had returned. Upon arrival. Officer Levine
recognized the two females and asked for identifica-
tion. When asked what they were doing, they both stated
that they were picking up a prescription for one of their
sisters.
The 3 1 -year-old suspects, one from Quincy and the
other from Kingston, were placed under arrest for "Utter-
ing a False Prescription, Forgery and Larceny of Property
Under $250." One of the suspects also had warrants.
Officer Levine then interviewed the office manager
from the psychiatry office and learned that one of the sus-
pects was a former employee and was terminated in the
summer of 2008 and that she has written false prescrip-
tions out of this office in the past. Copies of prescrip-
tions and surveillance video were logged into evidence.
Nice Work!
A JOB WELL DONE: On Friday. May 15, at ap-
proximately 6:40 p.m., Sergeant Joe Lencki and Officer
Tom Gaeta Jr. were working the "(^)ps in the Shop"
detail at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on Granite Street in a
plain-clothes assignment. Sergeant Lencki conducted
surveillance in the store while Officer Gaeta was out-
side monitoring the parking K)t in an unmarked cruiser
At this time, two males and a female entered the liquor
section of the store. One of the males, suspect 1 . went
to the counter with a 1 .32-gallon Heineken Keg of beer,
made the purchase and then left with the other friends.
Sergeant Lencki followed them out and watched as sus-
pect 1 handed the keg of beer over to suspect 2, who then
put it in the trunk of his vehicle. Suspect 1 then went
to his own vehicle, which was parked on the other side of
the parking lot.
Sergeant Lencki then walked up to suspect 2's car,
idenfified himself as a police officer and asked him if he
was 21 years old. Suspect 2 stated that he was and pro-
vided the officer with a Vermont Driver's License, show-
ing he was 22. A check with the Registry indicated that
the Vermont Registry of Vehicles had no record of the
license.
Sergeant Lencki told suspect 2 that he would give
him one chance to be straight with him and he would not
charge him with the felony of having a fake license, at
which point suspect 2 admitted that the license was take.
Suspect 2, a 19-year-old Roslindale resident, was placed
under arrest for "Minor Transporting/carrying Alcohol."
Suspect 1, who was still in his car, stepped out and
stated that he had purchased the alcohol and asked why
suspect 2 was under arrest. Suspect 1 then said the
keg of beer was for him and that he was only having sus-
pect 2 transport it for him. When asked why he couldnt
transport the beer himself, he did not answer. Based on
this statement, suspect 1 . a 25-year-old Quincy resident,
was placed under arrest for "Selling/delivering Alco-
hol to a Minor."
Sergeant Lencki then interviewed the 21 -year-old fe-
male, who said that the beer was actually for suspect 1.
She was allowed to leave at this point.
Nice Work!

dominium building owned
by Seven Hills LLC of Wey-
mouth MA. The Residences
at Oceania is located at One
Longbeach Avenue in Hull
Massachusetts.
"This was a great oppor-
tunity to purchase an ocean-
front residence. Since Ocea-
nia sits high on Atlantic Hill .
every unit offers command-
ing views of the ocean and
the Boston skyline. When
you combine that with
unique architectural features
and the overall quality of
materials and construction
you begin to understand the
demand." said Auctioneer
Dan Flynn
The Residences at Ocea-
nia consists of 16 newly
constructed units. All units
have two or three bed-
rooms-many units include
office/dens. Units include
high-end appliances, granite
kitchen countertops, hard-
wood flooring, washer and
dryer hook-ups, hot tubs
and oversized glass showers
in each master bath. Another
notable feature are the large
balconies overlooking stun-
ning views.
Winning bids ranged
from $530,000 for a 2,882

First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit: 5 Essential Tips For New Buyers
(ARA) - With the revised
first-time homebuyer federal
income tax credit currently
in effect, now is the perfect
time to consider making
that big purchase, your first
home.
"Buying a home is one
of the biggest financial
commitments a person can
make, but first-time home-
buyers and qualified return
buyers are in an ideal posi-
tion to take advantage of
unique opportunities in the
market, such as low inter-
est rates and the choice
among an abundance of for
sale homes," says Charlie
Young, president and chief
executive officer for ERA
Real Estate.
But before you sign on
the dotted line, ERA Real
Estate, one of the world's
leading residential franchise
networks, ofters some help-
ful tips to ease the transition
into homeownership.

culated at 10 percent of the
purchase price. Unlike the
previously available credit
from 2008, the money does
not have to be repaid, as long
as the homebuyer does not
resell the house for at least
three years. "The tax credit
can help make the American
dream of homeownership a
reality for potential buyers
who previously could not
afford the investment," says
Young. He adds that poten-
tial homebuyers should con-
sult with a professional tax
advisor for full details on
how the tax credit may ben-
efit them.
Calculate What
You Can Afford
Before you start search-
ing for your new home,
know what you can afford.
According to the U.S. De-
partment of Housing and
Urban Development, your
total monthly mortgage
payment — which includes
principal, interest, taxes and
insurance — should be about
29 percent of your monthly
gross income.
What you can afford
is also based on, among
other things, how large of
a down payment you can
make and how much money
you can borrow. You can
start estimating this figure
by using an affordability
or loan calculator found on
the Internet. These calcula-
tors can help compute what
may fit comfortably within
your budget based on fac-
tors such as annual income,
annual debts, interest rates
and credit score. Though
Internet calculators and sta-
tistics are good references,
it is recommended that you
consult a financial advisor
to determine exactly how
much you can afford.
Choose A Neighborhood
After you determine your
home buying budget, think
about where you want to
live. Are you going to stay
in your current neighbor-
hood, or do you want to
hit the open road and start
fresh? No matter what, you
should thoroughly research
the demographics of the
area. Some additional fac-
tors to consider are how far
you will be from work and
shopping — and if you have

children, do some careful
research on schools.
Make A Wish List
Of Needs And Wants
Early in the home-search-
ing process, list your basic
needs such as minimum
square footage, number of
bedrooms and bathrooms,
location and of course, the
price you can afford. Web
sites of leading real estate
brands should have guided
property searches that allow
you to choose one or more
of these criteria. If there are
features that you would love
to have in your home, but
could live without, put them
on your "want" list. This in-
cludes things like a pool, big
yard, extra bedroom, etc.
Work With
An Experienced
Real Estate Professional
Searching for and pur-
chasing your first home is
an exciting experience, but
it can be overwhelming. To
help each step in the home
buying process run smooth-
ly, consider working with a
seasoned real estate profes-
sional. Choosing a profes-
sional who is knowledgeable
in your local and nafional
markets, has access to the
newest listmgs, and can help
you negodate prices, will in-
crease the chances of finding
your dream home.

Paint
Think picking the per-

when choosing paint? Think
again. There are two main
types of paint to choose
from, oil-based and latex-
based paints.
• Oil-based paints go on
thicker, so it's less likely that
you will have to apply more
than one coat. They are ideal
for chalky surfaces or walls
that already have several

traffic.
Finally, you'll need to
know how much paint to get,
which you can determine
with a simple formula:
• Measure the total foot-
age around the perimeter
and multiply by the wall
height in feet.
• From this subtract 20
square feet for each door
and 14 square feet for each
window.
• Divide by 300.
The result is the number
of gallons that you'll need to
complete the job. There are
also online calculators that

When purchasing paint-

try to buy the highest quality

If you aren't sure what to

A:
You don't have to
install solar panels
or wind turbines to make your
home "green." "Green" living
really starts with the individu-
al, not the gadget.
Here are a few simple
changes to household man-
agement you can make almost
right away, with little or no
monetary investment.
• Toss the paper towels and
use cotton or linen dishtowels.
Linen costs more, but is lint-
free and durable.
• Turn the refrigerator's
temperature dial up a notch,
and clean the coils behind the
fridge frequently. Most fridges
cool just fine in the middle
to upper-mid range, and will
function more efficiently if the
cooling coils are dust-free.
• Turn off the lights - an
easy one, right? You also can
gradually replace the old incan-
descent light bulbs with more
expensive but longer-lasting
compact fluorescent bulbs.
• Store coffee in a ther-
mos. American-style drip brew
takes enough energy to begin
with; then the coffeepot sits on
an electric burner, baking the
brew into a bitter sludge. Turn
off the coffeemaker once the
brew cycle is done.
• Don't run water - another
easy one. If you don't own a
dishwasher, fill the sink with
hot, soapy water to wash dish-
es. If you don't have a double
sink, fill a tub or bucket with
hot water to rinse.
• Wash clothes in cold or
warm water only, and clean the
dryer's lint filter after every
load.
• Drain your water heater
twice a year to clear out min-
eral deposits and improve its
energy efficiency.
• Start a kitchen compos-
ter: toss vegetable scraps and
eggshells into an old coffee
can and carry out to a larger
yard composter every couple
of days.
• Separate out recyclables,
like bottles and cans. If your
city doesn't have a recycling
pickup program, many gro-
cery stores have collection
machines that give you a few
cents back for each item.
Starting with the above,
you can gradually build an
eco-friendly home - and save
a little "green" on the side, if
you kngw what I mean.
HOME TIP: Reducing
water and electricity use is a
great starting point to making
eco-friendly changes to your
home - and you'll save a little
cash, too.

Win Over Pembroke Qualifies NQ For Tournament Wins Over Scituate & North Quincy
Raiders Fight & Scratch
Way Into Playoffs
By SEAN BRENNAN
Their road was filled with
potholes, detours and wrong
turns , but i n the end , i t reached
its original destination, the
Division 1 South Sectional
Softball tournament.
North Quincy. a team that
at the halfway point of the
2009 schedule looked like a
long-shot to make a second
straight post-season appear-
ance, finally secured its spot
following a season-ending
12-7 victory over Pembroke
High School on May 21 at
Mitchell/McCoy Field.
The Raiders (like the rest
of the Dl South Sectional
bracket) found out just where
and when they would be
playing on Tuesday evening
after the MIAA released its
pairings for the 2009 tourna-
ment. More than likely, at 10-
10 overall, the Raiders will
be playing in a preliminary
round game today (Thurs-
day), with the winner of that
game advancing to play in
the first-round.
"We really picked it up
about halfway through the
season." said first-year NQ
head coach Kerry Ginty
about her team's second-half
surge. 'The girls have been
playing really well and we
are looking to not just play
in the tournament, but we are
also looking to make waves
and advance."
According to Ginty, her
team's late-season push to-
ward the playoffs came as a
result of her senior class and
the leadership and experi-
ence that this group of tal-
ented girls displayed down
the stretch.
"It all came down to our
seniors and the leadership
that they all showed late in
the year, when the team re-
ally needed them to step
up." added Ginty. "Catherine
O'Connell (batting over .500
on the year), Kathleen Lynch
and Brittany Folkins all
played real well for us and
without them, and the rest of
that class, we would not be
where we are today.
"But we have been play-
ing well all season. We have
just struggled against some
of the stronger teams in the
Patriot League, a league that
1 think is one of the best in
the area, but over the last few
games our bats have heated
up and our pitching has im-
proved."
One change that Ginty
made late in the year that
seemed to uplift her team
was moving Folkins (the
team's star shortstop) onto
the mound and moving ju-
nior pitcher Sammi Bonanni
into the outfield. Junior De-
von McKay took over Fol-
kins' role at shortstop.
"Brittany has been pitch-
ing really well for us as of
late," said Ginty. "All of sud-
den we started holding even
the better teams to little runs
and it has allowed us to be
competitive in games and
pull out some wins.
"Sammi plays a solid out-
field, so that has helped our
defense there, and Devon has
not missed a beat taking over
at shortstop. These moves are
working out."
Another quality of her
team that Ginty has enjoyed
watching develop is the abil-
ity her players have to fight
and battle during every at-bat,
in the field and in practice.
She attributes this attitude to
the quality of female student/
athletes North Quincy High
School has developed over
the last few years.
"All of these girls play at
least two sports," she said.
"They are all great athletes,
be it playing softball, soccer,
basketball or volleyball, and
they are confident in their
ability to be winners.
"The school has produced
some good female athletes
over the years and this team
is filled with them. They re-
fuse to lose."
The Raiders earned their
spot in the Division 1 South
Sectionals following a 12-7
win over Pembroke, and in
the deciding-game, it was
a freshman. Emma Ainsley
that was the number one star.
Ainsley finished four-for-
four with two RBI, including
a solo homerun. O'Connell
also continued her hot sec-
ond-half batting by going
four-for-four with two RBI.
Bonanni , who looks to be fit-
ting in nicely in the outfield,
had two RBI.
"It was a big, big win,
not just because it qualified
us. but because we continue
to play well against good
team," Ginty said. "We now
expect to be in every game
and 1 think the tough road
we took to get here is going
to prepare us to play in the
tournament."
Note: The MIAA seeded
the Division I field on Tues-
day afternoon. The Red Raid-
ers will travel to Wellesley
High School today (Thurs-
day) to play in a preliminary
round game at 3:30 p.m.
Secure Post-Season Spot
Presidents Earn Second Straight
Tournament Appearance
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents,
an early season favorite to
challenge for the Patriot
League's Keenan Division
championship, have finally
secured a second straight
appearance in the Division
I South Sectional softball
tournament, which will kick
off today (Thursday).
The team's clinching
game came last Tuesday
(May 19) in a contest against
city rival North Quincy High
School, a 6-4 victory, which
had followed an extra-in-
ning 2-1 win over Scituate
High School on May 18.
Quincy had needed to
win two-out-of-four games
last week and took care of
its business in the first two
games on the schedule; the
Presidents dropped a 3-2
decision to Duxbury High
School on May 20 and
played a non-league game
against Stoughton on May
21 (a 4-3 loss).
With the 6-4 win over the
Red Raiders, Quincy will
now wait-and-see where
they are seeded in the Dl
field and if they either have
to play a preliminary round
game (play-in game), will
need to travel on the road
to play in the first-round or
luck out and get to host a
first-round game at Mitch-
ell/McCoy Field. The latter
scenario seems the most un-
likely.
But at this point, the Pres-
idents are just excited about
having another chance to
play in the second season.
"We have struggled all
season to be consistent,"
said Quincy head coach
Mike Sedar. "But we finally
got in and now it is a whole
new season. We knew com-
ing in, because we are so
young, that it would take
some work, but the girls
took care of business when
they needed to the most."
Against North Quincy, a
team that beat Quincy 6-5
back in April, the Presidents
were lackluster throughout
the early frames, but after
a team discussion on the
bench and a spirited speech
from sophomore hurler Kori
Sorensen urging her team to
pick it up, Quincy respond-
ed.
Freshman Katy Lowry
finished the game 3-for-4
with three RBI and junior
catcher Olivia Berry con-
tributed to the offense with
three hits and a RBI.
Sorensen finished the
game with seven strikeouts
and only two runs allowed.
"We were really sluggish
at the start of the game,"
said Sedar. "But we held a
team meeting and Kori re-
ally stepped up and urged
the team to get fired up and
from that point on we started
hitting and took control.
"I need to give North
Quincy credit. They went
down but made a comeback
late in the game, but we
stemmed the tide and picked
up the win and earned our
post-season spot."
Although Quincy will
not start the South Section-
als as favorites, possible op-
ponents should not take this
team lightly. Sorensen, who
is one of the more dominant
pitchers in Division 1 South,
will bring all-star stats into
that first post-season game.
She is on pace to finish the
regular season with about
150 strikeouts and a 1.40
ERA. And if the offense can
feed off her emotions on the
hill, the Presidents could
surprise the field.
"Whenever Kori is pitch-
ing we have a chance. She
always keeps us within
reach," Sedar said. "This is
still a very young team (one
senior) and we are still learn-
ing how to play with each
other, but they play hard and
leave it all on the field.
"Our record does not re-
ally show how good we are.
I believe there have been at
least eight games where we
lost in the last two innings.
If we can stop having that
one bad inning we could go
far."
Notes: The MIAA seeded
the Division I field on Tues-
day afternoon. The Presi-
dents will travel to Silver
Lake Regional High School
today (Thursday) to play a
preliminary round game at
3:30 p.m.

with an impressive 3-0-

North Quincy won the
first game 25-18, the second
game 25-12 and the third
game 25-22.
The Red Raiders, seeded
sixth in the Dl field, was
scheduled to play third-seeded
Newton North High School
Tuesday night in the second
round of the tournament.
Fcv the Raiders, senior
outside hitter Simon Yeung,
the South Alliance League's
Most ValuaUe Player
(MVP), was the driving force
to victory in the first-round
win. Yeung finished widi 18
kills. Senior setter Andy Ng
(30 assists) and senior libero
Mark Thatch (20 digs and
32 service points) idso were
productive against Quiacy.
Other Ruders pbying
wdJ included, role players,
seaion Vince Kwan (five
kills, two blocks), Raymond
Fang (seven kills, ten digs)
and Kevin Pacheco (seven
kills, four blocks).
"We looked fantastic," said
NQ head coach Jason Cai.
"We made very few errors and
that was the key for us.
"It is uplifting when
those guys (the role play-
ers) step up and play well.
It's motivating if (Hie person
does well, then everybody
docs well."
With the win, North
(^ncy improved its 2009
record to 12-5 overall.

The Presidents finished
the 2009 campaign with a
7-8 overall record.
By SEAN BRENNAN
It was a baimer day for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers last Wednesday night
(May 20) at Adams Field.
Following an 11-0 thrashing
of Hanover High School,
North (^ncy (16-6 overall)
won the Patriot League's
Fisher Division champion-
ship (the league is split into
two divisions: Keenan and
Fisher), just one season re-
moved from finishing at
9-11 overall.
According to NQ head
coach John Fidalgo and the
Quincy Public School Ath-
letic Department's recwd
bo(^, this division title is
the first for any Red Raid-
ers baseball team in 25-ipAiis
seasons. The team, which
wnq)ped up its regular sea-
soa last Friday in a non-
league game against Wey-
mouth High School (an 11-1
win), earned a first-round
bye in die state playolfs.
The Raiders will host the
winner of the Walpole/Nor-
wood game on Saturday at 2
p.m. at Adams Field.
"This team has worked
so hard to get ready for
this moment," said Fidalgo
about his team's somewhat
surprising run to the divi-
sion crown. "A lot of teams
preach hard work, but this
team took it to heart and ac-
complished something that
no North (^ncy has done
in a long time.
"We have been playing
good ball all year and it
all starts with our starting
pitching, defense and timely
offense. These kids were ex-
cited and with all their hard
work, diey got what diey de-
served."
In die Hsher Divisicm
clinching game against Ha-
nover, the Raiders received
17 hits from nine different
players and jumor Ryan
Louis pitdbed a con^ete-
game, striking oirt five bat-
ters.
At the plate, Matt Ro-
driquez (two hits, RBI) , John
Ainsley (two hits, RBI), Co-
lin Ryan (three hits), Darmy
Russell (two hits), Ben Le-
ahy (hit, two RBI) and Louis
(three hits, two RBI) led the
offense.
"We came into this game
knowing that a win would
clinch the division title, and
Ryan keep the game score-
less through the first two in-
nings," Fidalgo said. "Once
we relaxed and got into the
flow of the game, the of-
fense really picked up. Our
bats got hot in the second
and third innings and the
rest of the game was ours.
"As a coaching staff, you
can only put the team in the
best position to succeed,
but it is the kids who play
the games. They have been
solid all year getting the job
done and today was no dif-
ferent.

post-season spot since 2{J()2
already secured (that hap-
pened two weeks ago) and
a division championship in
the books. North can now
prepare for the one-and-
done Division 1 South Sec-
tionals, which is scheduled
to start today (Thursday).
The tournament will be
new to everyone involved
with the 20()9 Red Raiders,
but Fidalgo (now 24-17 in
two seasons as manager)
believes his team can carry
over the confidence gained
from their strong regular
season into the post-season.
"The playoffs are going
to be different. The first-
round games go from seven
innings to nine innings and
we are going to prepare
mentally for that and I think
that will be the biggest dif-
ference for our team moving
forward .
"But we are confident that
if we continue to play our
game we should be fine."
For the moment, Fidalgo
and his team are going to en-
joy what they have already
accomplished. The season
has been a success no matter
what happens over the next
two weeks.
"Everyone is really excit-
ed about seeing that division
championship banner hung
in the gym," Fidalgo added.
"No matter how it plays out,
this will be a season that will
be remembered. These kids
will be able to come back in
30 or 40 years and know that
that banner is theirs. It is ex-
citing for us, tor the North
Quincy baseball program
and for the school."

who was the local point ot
her team's ottense a^ a fresh-
man. Is always looking to
improve her game, and part
of that improvement comes
from her teammates and the
way her team has gotten bel-
ter the last two seasons
"'.My tirsl year tliere was
only two ii\r\s. including
myself who -coiwi. and this
year we had more depth and
that !s why ue u.-re a better
team,"" Stille said al^out her
team's recent siuxess "My
best attribute is sv.i)ring 1
have speed and I can finish
around the net. If I have ten
shots I usually score on se\ -
en of them, 1 am a finisher
"Playing attack, 1 have to
also play defense in the mid-
field and I have been getting
better at that each season.
We start playing fall ball in
September and the regular
season starts in the middle of
March. It is a lot of work, but
it is worth it."
This past season, Stille
played a major role in getting
her team into the All-North-
east-10 Women's Lacrosse
Championships. Besides her
64 goals, she led Franklin
Pierce to a 4-6-league record
and a 7-8 overall mark. Her
best game came against Nor-
wich University in a non-

Scenes From The 2009 Quincy Senior Olympics
Sponsored By Quincy Recreation Department, Quincy Council On Aging
Kristine Lilly Honored At Broad Meadows Middle School
Cont 'd From Page 12
Go hard in practice. Be
tough. Win every ball.
"As a player on a team
know your role. Every role
is important and equal.
When every team member
is working together, pres-
suring, attacking, defend-
ing, and each individual
team member is fulfilling
their role, it makes a dif-
ference and makes winning
the match possible. Doing
things to get somewhere
yourself, like appearing on
Sports Center on ESPN,
does not help your team. It
should be all about the team.
Doing things for the team
makes the team more suc-
cessful."
On the new league she is
helping to establish, Kris-
tine Lilly explained: "The
Boston Breakers women's
professional soccer team is
back. The Boston Breakers
are another groundbreaking
event for women in sports.
Our first season began in
April. The Breakers really
appreciate your support. 1
know 34 of you were at the
Breakers' game last night.
I'm still pretty sore from
that game, but I'm so glad
to be here with you today
representing the Boston
Breakers and the entire WPS
(Women's Professional Soc-
cer League). Women's pro-
fessional soccer is here, and
it is great to be a part of it.
On winning a Gold Med-
al at the Olympics, Lilly re-
lated this story: "I stand here
today as an example of what
you one day can be. Wheth-
er you love baseball, dance
or writing, go for it. Set your
goals high. Try your best
to fulfill those goals. Work
hard. Work with others on
that goal . You will end up in
a better place. I did. I want-
ed to be a baseball player
and a gymnast winning an
Olympic Gold Medal. How-
ever, I couldn't do a back
walkover or make a baseball
team. That didn't work out.
but I found 1 loved sports.
Then I found soccer, and
after tons of hard work and
believing in my teammates
and in myself, I won Olym-
pic Gold, twice. Always
believe. Surround yourself
with people who believe in
you. You have teachers here
and a Principal who believe
in you. Believe in yourself.
When you have all of that,
all together, it is a powerful
and amazing thing. It starts
now, in these grades."
Before leaving, Kristine
Lilly huddled the students
together, like she and her
teammates do before every
game. Kristine explained
the Boston Breakers' ritual
of each player shouting out
encouraging words in that
huddle, things like 'Win
every ball,' or 'Never give
in.' Kristine then challenged
the Broad Meadows Middle
School students in the class-
room to put their hands in
to the middle of the huddle
and shout out encouraging
BROAD MEADOWS MIDDLE School seventh graders Alyssa Lydon (left) and Kayla McArdle
(right) with Kristine Lilly during a recent visit to the school. Lilly is an Olympic Gold Medalist
and professional soccer player with the Boston Breakers. Alyssa and Kayla interviewed Lilly
who was the subject of a student research project.

words about their school
work. Students shouted out,
'Help each other study,' and
'Always ask questions.'
Then Kristine showed the
kids how the Breakers break
their huddle: "One, two,
three, Go Meadows!" To-
gether, academic achieve-
ment is possible with the
right amount of self motiva-
tion, hard work, encourage-
ment . support and teamwork .
That is what Kristine Lilly
taught the Broad Meadows
students about the keys to
success.
Lilly added, "I'm so
fortunate to a part of mak-
ing way for a women's pro
soccer league, to be a player
in the league and to make
a living playing soccer. It's
my job, and 1 work hard for
that, and every day I want to
be better. Think about that.
Work hard every day for
your goals. Try to be better
ever day. You can get there
if you believe. Always be-
lieve.
"I always dreamed of be-
ing an Olympian. To finally
get there , for our U.S. soccer
team to finally win gold, to
stand with your teammates
on that highest podium and
to see the U.S. flag raised
and to hear the National
Anthem played for your
team was one of those mo-
ments you will never forget.
To this day when I hear the
National Anthem played, it
plays differently in my mind
because of that one Olympic
medal moment."
When asked about com-
munity service, Kristine Lil-
ly said: "I teamed up three
years ago to help the Special
Olympics. It's a great orga-
nization. Sports has given
me so much, I'm happy to
give back."
On her future goals,
Kristine Lilly quickly listed
two. "Do I have any dreams
unfulfilled? I'd like to play
for the U.S. national team
again. I'd also someday
like to teach kids about the
game. Those are two goals 1
have for the future."
The Broad Meadows stu-
dents were praised by Lilly
for their work researching
and reporting, but also for
their hospitality. Lilly said,
"I go to a lot of schools, I do
a lot of presentations, and
this has been probably the
most special day I've had.
It's was the best assembly
I've been part of. Plus, 1 got
my own reserved parking
space, food, a school locker
(number 13), and induction
into your school's Ground-
breaker Hall of Fame."
Kristine Lilly left the au-
ditorium as students chant-
ed, "USA, USA, USA!"

SCOTT DEWARE
For Th£ jVhk
Thank God for memory, that most gra-
cious artist, who softens the hard things
in our life , and makes more beautiful the
beautiful ones.
As we grow older memory becomes a
treasure storehouse. The high lights of
our years are there . . . vivid pictures of
beauties appreciated. The heart-warming reminiscences of
friends we've known . . . The tender thoughts of family and
events that have happened . . . The satisfaction of recallmg
work well done. . . The feeling that we have meant something
to those who meant so much to us . . . highlights stored in
memory's treasure house to be recalled at wiU to encourage
and sustain us whenever we need them . . .
"Memory is a capricious and arbitrary created. You never
can tell what pebble she will pick up from the shore of life to
keep among her treasures, or what inconspicuous flower of
the field she will preserve as the symbol of "thoughts that do
often lie too deep for tears" . . . And yet I do not doubt that
the most unportant things are always the best remembered -

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) An unexpected develop-
ment could change the Arian's
perspective on a potential in-
vestment. Keep an open mind.
Ignore the double talk and act
only on the facts.

on you for guidance. Ignore
any attempts to get you to ease

deal with it more constructively
once you know where the truth
lies. Reserve the weekend for
someone special.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
As much as you Leos or Leo-
nas might be intrigued by the
"sunny" prospects touted for a
potential investment, be careful
that you don't allow the glare
to blind you to its essential de-
tails.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) A friend's problem
brings out the Virgo's nurtiuing
nature in full force. However,
don't go it alone. Allow oth-
ers to pitch in and help share
the responsibilities you've as-
sumed.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) A business decision
might need to be put off until
a colleague's personal matter is
resolved. Use this time to work
on another business matter that
you've been anxious to get to.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) Relationships (per-
sonal or professional) might
appear to be stalled because of
details that keep cropping up
and that need tending to. Be
patient. A path begins to clear
soon.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) A promotion
could cause resentment among
envious colleagues. But oth-
ers recognize how hard you
worked to earn it. and will be
there to support you if you need
them.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Handling a deli-
cate personal matter needs both
your wisdom and your warmth.
Expect some setbacks, but stay
with it. The outcome will more
than justify your efforts.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Resist the tempta-
tion to cut comers just because
time is short. Best to move
ahead step by step so you don't
overtook anything that might
later create time-wasting com-
plications.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Use the good will
you recently earned with that
well -received project to pitch
your ideas for a new project.
Expect some tough competi-
tion, though, from an unlikely
source.

city's history, we took peo-
ple to Small Claims Court,"
Sproul said, referring to four
cases currently in litigation.
In addition, Sproul said
the city is considering using
debt collectors for bills after
90 days. Collection agen-
cies don't even bother with
letters, according to Sproul
who said they get action
because they, immediately,
"put a mark on someone's
credit history."
"Let's deal with it," Ward
2 Councillor Daniel Ray-
mond! said. "We never seem
to address the problem ""
"Id like to know who's
stiffing the city," Ward 4
Councillor Jay Davis said
Sproul ottered to e-niail
his department's l3{X)paoes
of documents detailing the
debtors" names and accounts
to councillors but there were
no takers.
In the past, one sitinili-
cant area of concern has
been the police detail ac-
count which has been as
high as $9(X).(KK).
Police Details
At this time, the police
detail account includes a
deficit of $464 .fXK) accumu-
lated over years, but Sproul
and Police Chief Paul
Keenan said new policies
are addressing and reducing
the debt.
"We've got the uncol-
lected debt down," Keenan
said after the meeting, not-
ing that debtors can not get
their building permits or li-
quor licenses renewed.
Keenan credited new
policies instituted by Spri)ul
with reducing the balances
and preventing new deficits.
Police officers are, also,
aware of the issue. Keenan
said that officers on duty
have a list of debtors, "We
don't provide details to
those people on the list."
In addition, police details
will be billed through the
central billing office in an
effort to avoid future defi-
cits.
"Next week, we're go-
ing to convert all police de-
tail billing over to the city."
said Sproul who said that
$111,231 of the total defi
cit is uncollectible, due to
bankruptcies or company
closures.
At this lime. Sproul 's goal
is tt) collect $353,660 of the
nearly $460. OCX) in unpaid
bills for police patrols
Sproul. also, provided the
Finance Committee with an
overview of the city's debt
and anticipated levenues
and announced that Moodv
has set the city's bond rat-
ing at A I and the city's S&P
bond rating is A+.
CurrentI). the city has
$46 million in short-term
borrowing at a rate of >4 of
one percent.
Finance Committee
Chairman John Keenan has
repeatedly noted that total
debt will change when the
school building bonds are
executed in 2011 .
"Around 5% of our bud-
get is indebtedness," said
Sproul who reported that
2010 will be the last year
for the teacher pay defer-
ral, but the there are still 10
years left on the bill for the
Quincy Medical Center.
Sproul also estimated
that local receipts are down
in several areas, including
some $500. (KK) in motor
vehicle excise revenues.
"People are not buying new
cars." he pointed out.
"We're beginning to see a
shortfall now." Sproul said,
noting the real estate and
personal propert) revenues
are running at 9?i7i and 94 7f
of projections and even the
legislative remedies ma\ not
halt the decline in revenues.
While the state legisla-
ture appears willing to allow
new motel, hotel and meals
taxes. Sproul suggested that
these areas might, alst). be
pinched in the down econ-
omy.
On the plus side, the
city will experience a new
revenue stream as taxes are
allowed on business cell
phones and income from PI-
LOT programs has doubled.
These are funds provided by
non-profit entities in lieu of
taxes,

TAPS IS PLAYED bv bugler Donald Murphy at Quincy's Memorial Day ceremonies Monday at
Mount Wollaston Cemetery. Taps was played after reading the roll call of deceased veterans.
Quincy Sun PhotoslRohert Noble
CARRYING A MEMORIAL DAY message of their own are Tricia Farulla and her mother,
Lucy. The Wollaston residents were among those attending the city's Memorial Day ceremonies
at Mount Wollaston Cemetery. The family has three members serving in the military.
Memorial Day Message: 'They Gave Their Tomorrows, For Our Todays'
Cont 'd From Pai^e I
the address he gave Mon-
day:
Memorial Day in our
Country means different
things to different people. To
some folks, it simply means
that they will get Monday
off and don't have to work.
For others, it will be a
time of reflection, as they
remember those in their
own immediate families
whom they lost during times
of war. It is a time for us to
remember.
Too many of us do not
remember very well. Me-
morial Day is not just about
picnics and ballgames. It's
about brave Soldiers. Sail-
ors. Marines. Fliers, Mili-
tary personnel who died
protecting their country and
what it stood for. They died
defending a way of life that
they felt was worth dying
for. . . families, children,
freedom, morality, values,
and responsibility.
We come to Honor these
brave Women and Men
who were willing to give
their lives for others. In the
Gospel of John chapter 15:
verse 13 states: Greater love
has no man than this, that a
person lay down their life

our disabled veterans.
On May 5, 1866, veter-
ans and residents of Water-
loo. N.Y., placed flowers
on the graves at each of the
town's cemeteries to honor
the local Soldiers and Sail-
ors who had fallen during
the Civil War. Proposed by
a local pharmacist, Henry C.
Welles; this act of remem-
brance centered on his belief
that while praising the living
veterans of the Civil War. it
was equally important to re-
member the patriotic dead.
This tradition has grown for
a century and a half - it is
Memorial Day.
On this Memorial Day,
America is at war. Answer-
ing the call. America's mili-
tary is fighting in Afghani-
stan and Iraq with much
courftge and honor. Our

defense of Liberty adds to
the rolls of the fallen. We
pause on Memorial Day
to honor all generation of
brave Americans who made
the ultimate sacrifice so that
others can live free.
To the Families of the
fallen my heart goes out to
you, yours is a difficult bur-
den. And we stand with you
and lift you in prayer not
only today but throughout
the years. I thank you!
While dedicating an al-
lied cemetery. General
George S. Patton reminded
us that we should thank God
that soldiers have lived,
rather than regret that they
have died. Over the past 234
years, more than one mil-
lion of our comrades-in-arm
have selflessly given their
lives for this cause. And to-
day, more than one million
of our comrades-in-arms are
still fighting.
Winston Churchill once
said of us: "The United
States is like a gigantic boil-
er. Once the fire is lit under
it, there is no limit to the
power it can generate."

After Heroin Overdose
Father: Narcan Saved Son's Life
By LAl'RA GRIFFIN
Not a pin dropped nor
a paper rustled Monday at
City Council as Steven Hol-
ler described how his son
died last week and was re-
vived by a dose of Narcart.
Holler said he found his
23-year-old son "blue as the
blue of the flag" and "dead
on the bathroom floor" last
Thursday. His heart was
beating but his brain was
dead from an overdose of
heroin.
'i had a pulse." Holler
said, adding his son's brain
had stopped. "The brain can
not tell them to breathe. We
knew we needed Narcan.
I'm holding my son's head
in my hands."
Police and firefighters
responded within two and
three minutes, according
to Holler who asked them
if they had Narcan in their
supplies. They did not.
"1 can not praise them
enough." Holler said, de-
scnbing how they immedi-
ately intubated his comatose
son who did not awaken.
When the EMT's arrived
minutes later, they did have
Narcan and administered to
Holler's son. Holler said the
EMT's said they'd adminis-
tered Narcan to "seven kids
, 1
STEVEN HOLLER
and brought them all back."
" A minute later, he start-
ed breathing on his own,"
Holler said, then described
how his son became alert,
began detoxing and was ful-
ly alert within ten to twelve
minutes.
"I've been dealing with
my son's addiction for five
years," said Holler who
described his son as good
young man who has never
been arrested, never been
hospitalized, and had been
living out-of-state for the
past two years.
Holler and his wife be-
lieved his son was off drugs,
but he says that you never
know with an addict and
they won't tell you.

ahead." Holler said of the
young man who is now in
treatment.
Ironically, Holler said
that he'd used up a supply of
Narcan when distributing it
to educate others. The drug
is administered through the
nasal passage and is de-
signed to prevent or reverse
the effects of narcotic pain
relievers.
"They instantly start de-
toxing," said Holler who
said the product is harmless
when not used in such an
emergency.

Deady, also parents of an
addict, asked the council to
support a resolution asking
that the mayor's Drug Task
Force and the City Coun-
cil's Public Safety commit-
tee "encourage the police
and fire department's first
responders and other per-
sonnel, be trained in how
to administer Narcan" and
receive updates on the proj-
ect.
Margaret LaForest, a
member of the Task Force,
joined Deady and Holler in
supporting the measure.
Kathy Deady who de-
scribed herself as the par-
ent of an addict said Quincy
was ranked "number 7 in the
state for opiate overdoses."
"It works, it saves lives,"
Deady said of Narcan.
"We're losing the war on
drugs," Holler said , "There's
no money for anything. At
least we can get this in the
hands of the first respond-
ers."
Holler, also, noted that
programs "hand out free
needles."
"This is not easy for
families to share," council
President Jay Davis said
of Holler and the Deady 's
who have been working in
Quincy for prevention and
to help addicts and addicts'
families.
Davis filed the resolu-
tion.
Ward 3 Councillor Kev-
in Coughlin whose work
with the courts brings him
in contact with addicts de-
scribed the parents as "cou-
rageous."
Coughlin said that Nar-
can "immediately blocks
opiates to the brain.
City Council unanimous-
ly approved the resolution.

James McConville
Parade Grand Marshal
Mayor Thomas Koch and
the Flag Day Committee an-
nounced Tuesday that U.S.
Army Brigadier General
James McConville will be
the Grand Marshal for the
58"' annual Flag Day Parade
and Celebration June 13.
An Adams Shore native,
Brig. Gen. McConville is
the deputy-commanding
general of the legendary
lOr' Airborne Division
based out of Fort Campbell,
Kentucky. Most recently, he
finished a 15-month tour of
duty in Afghanistan lead-
ing support services for the
Army and NATO forces.
"We are honored

country, and I know we all
look forward to honoring

his service, and the service
of all our veterans on Flag
Day."
McConville graduated
from West Point in 1981
and moved swiftly through
the Army ranks. In 2005,
he commanded a First Air
Calvary Division brigade in
Iraq.
McConville's appear-
ance at Flag Day will be the
second time in three years
that a brigadier general from
Quincy has been named
grand marshal. In 2007,
Marine Brig. Gen. Joseph

For Public Awareness Campaign
Group Raises $14^00
To Battle Drug Abuse
City Council Monday
voted unanimously to ac-
cept $14 J>(X) donated by lo-
cal businesses in an effort to
battle drug abuse.
The council voted after
Jim Fatseas, the mayor's
Chief of Staff, described
how the funds will be used
in an anti-drug campaign
targeting teenagers and
young adults.
Arthur Keough and the
Friends of Quincy for their
success raised the $I4,50()
for a public awareness cam-
paign on drug abuse.
The funds will be tem-
porarily administered by the
City of Quincy Treasurer's
Office.
Keough launched the ef-
fort after two local agencies.
Impact Quincy and Bay
State Community Services,
were awarded state grants to
provide overdose training to
emergency responders.
The agencies conducted
a survey that found that resi-
dents were not aware of the
city's drug problem.
A majority of the 3000
persons interviewed did not
believe there is a senous drug
problem in Quincy while the
Department of Health ranks
the city 7th statewide in re-
ports of heroin and opioid
overdose.
Recent efforts to tack-
le drug abuse and create
awareness include a bill-
board in Wollaston, warning
of prescription drugs, with
a slogan warning that "the
monster" is in the medicine
cabinet where youngsters
steal drugs often.
In addition, 300 copies
of a video on addiction are
being distributed to service
agencies, churches, parent
groups and others.
Keough has written nu-
mert)us successful grant ap-
plications for the city. He
plans to establish Friends
of Quincy as a non-profit
501c(3) organization.
Goals of the Friends in-
clude enhancing "public
awareness of important is-
sues within the city and ini-
tiating and developing pro-
grams to improve the city's
quality of life.

ual and corporate donors

The Joneses Will Remember Quincy 's Spirit Of Cooperation
Bittersweet but not disappointing.
That's how Salvation Army Majors Doug and Linda
Jones view their transfer from the Quincy Corps to Man-
chester, CT at the end of this month.
The husband-and-wife spiritual team, who received their
farewell orders last month, have steered and guided with
compassionate hearts and loving hands the ministry of the
Salvation Army Quincy Corps for eight years. They begin
their new ministry in the Constitution State July 1 .
As they prepare to make their move south, they'll be
packing more than just clothing. They'll be bringing memo-
ries from a city they uniquely describe for its spirit of co-
operation.
They will also take with them a readiness for their next
assignment. And they know the Quincy Corps will continue
to receive God's blessing after they have moved on.
"We know in our hearts that God is going to take care of
Quincy just as he took care of Quincy when He brought us
here." says Doug Jones. "And where He has us going next,
that's God appointment for us.
"We are God's appointment and God's appointment is
never disappointment. We're going with a sense that our
lives are in God's hands."
But they also know that as their transfer nears, it's going
to be more and more difficult for some.
"We have some people in the Quincy Corps who are very
near and dear to us," Doug says. "One couple that is very
active in the Corps and they have two children, one is 9 and
one is 5. We are the only officers they've known and they
are very close to us.
"It's going to be hard to say goodbye to those children
and the other children as well. Those things are hard to do
but it's God's timing and God's hands are on it and we trust
God to keep his hand on this Corps."
Linda adds: "The transfer is bittersweet. It's bitter to
leave here but it's sweet to see what God has for us on the
other side."
For the last eight years in Quincy, the Joneses - who are
both 57 - have embodied the Salvation Army, an evangeli-
cal part of the universal Christian Church and its mission
statement. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is
motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the
gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name
without discrimination.
Besides being spiritual leaders of its congregation, the
Joneses have provided stewardship over the Corps' adult
day health care program, emergency assistance, holiday as-
sistance, and senior vacations. They are equally as proud of
the youth programs the Quincy Corps offers, including the
SonShine Pre-School and Camp Wonderiand Camperships.
The Adult Day Health Care program is among the Quin-
cy Corps' hallmarks. Since 1979, the Adult Day Health
Center has been providing nursing care, social services and
recreational activities for senior citizens and disabled adults
from Quincy and the South Shore community. Its goal is to
assist participants in a way that improves the quality of their
lives, while enabling them to remain at home and enjoy their
independence.

of 22 or 23 people daily - is one aspect of their ministry the
Joneses will fondly remember.
'it's not just the people who are here every day that we
help," Doug Jones says, 'it's the caregivers and I couldn't
tell you how many times a caregiver has said 'I appreciate
what you are doing for my parent, I appreciate what you
are doing for my wife, my husband and it gives me a little
space so that I can try to take care of the rest of the night
and the day.
"Even after the caregivers have left our program . . . you
lose them to death or to a nursing home or a deeper care than
we can provide, they come back to visit and they tell us how
much this program meant to their parent.
"We had one fella," Doug Jones recalled, "who passed
away but his daughter came in to tell us how much he en-
joyed the meals here. He went to another program and the
meals weren't as good as this program.
"But it's not about food," Doug emphasizes, 'it's sitting
there with the other seniors having dialogue, having some-
one who cares about you. I know if I were in that situation
and 1 had to have my parent here, that would make it easier
for me to go to work knowing my parent is cared for.
"The adult day health ministry will be with us. We've
never had anything like this."
Combined, the Joneses have been officers in the Salva-
tion Army for 65 years: Doug 33 and Linda 32. He was
ordained a lieutenant in 1976, she in 1977. Then they got
married.
Their assignment in Manchester, CT will be their sev-
enth. Other ministries have been in Maine (Rockland 2
years, Portland 5 years and Lewiston 3 years); Hartford,
Conn, for about 4 years; New Bedford (11 years) and the
last 8 in Quincy.
While they were in Hartford, they were responsible for
youth work. They ran a summer camp for four summers
with 180 children and 65 staff members.
"Each community has been unique but Quincy has been
a real joy," Doug Jones says.
In fact, they will forever remember Quincy for its "spirit
of cooperation."
"I don't think we've ever experienced a spirit of coop-
eration in any community that we've served in that's better
than this one right here. Regardless of whether it's a food
drive or a prayer time, everybody shares and works together.
That will stay with us," Doug says.
"We've enjoyed every community we have served but
there's a spirit in this city that's just been incredible. I'm
not saying that because we are leaving. We can look back
and say the clergy fellowship has been fantastic. We do sun-
rise services together. Good Friday together. We've done a
Thanksgiving service with some of the churches. And now
we're in a softball league with several other churches and so
we are interacting in that way.
'it's never been a matter of saying 'this is mine and I
don't want to share,'" Doug explains. "We just do so many
things together. And that reminds us that we are all in this
together. We are trying to impact and influence people's
lives-
Returning to Manchester, CT will be sort of a homecom-
ing for the Joneses. They are familiar with that community
because of their ministry in Hartford.
"We know the community a little bit,' Doug says. "We
know some of the people who are soldiers there. We have
a good rapport. We've had some conversations with some
of our former employees who are right in that area so there
are people we will be able to reconnect with that we haven't
seen in 19 years. That will be fun.
"Some of the young people who were in our summer
camp (in Hartford) are now raising their own children.
We're going back to see them with their children, so that's
kind of unique."
Still, they are well aware leaving Quincy will bring
mixed emotions. For them and their congregation.
"When you spend eight years investing yourself in the
lives of people, if you're doing what God's called you to do,
you're giving of yourself into people's lives," Doug says.
"You are there as their pastor, you know their joys and sor-
rows, and so you're giving yourself. So when you have to
separate from them, there's always feelings of grief. They're
going to go through the grieving process and so are we.
"But the saving grace for us is that we know that our
lives are in God's hands. When God appointed us here, he
knew exactly what he was doing. We have seen God's hand
on our lives; we have seen how the people in this church,
how the people in the community have enriched our lives.
We have seen that over the last eight years.
"We knew when we came here this was God's will . When
you have to leave, you also have to know this is what God
wants and God has reasons for these things," Doug contin-
ued. "We can't always at the time say, 'I know exactly why
we're leaving.' But we can look back and say 'I saw how
God brought me to this point' and for our own growth and
the growth of the community, it was time for a change."
Neither Jones grew up in New England. Linda is origi-
nally from North Carolina. She's a graduate of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ask her if she likes
basketball and she beams "I love the Tar Heels."
Doug, who
grew up m
Utica,N.Y., en-
joyed a differ-
ent winter sport
as a youth:
hockey. As a
kid, he helped
shovel snow in
the backyard.
His mom would
let the kids take
water and make
an ice rink.
"We never

time, we start-
ed playing in

the backyard. We'd put up these nets and we'd play hockey
with a rubber ball. I used to like playing in the nets."
Doug still likes being a goalie. For the past three years,
he's played floor hockey in the Salvation Army's gym with
a group of guys from the Quincy area. He's run the floor as
a forward a few times but prefers to don a goalie mask and
pads. He's got a great glove and can make the difficult save
but the time in the gym is much more than that.
"While the guys don't come to my church, in my own
way I've been an influence on their lives. They know what
I stand for and I think it's been good fellowship. It's a lot of
fun," he says.
As they reflect on their time in Quincy, the Joneses ex-
pressed thanks to their congregation for working together
for the honor and glory of God.
"We trust they will be open to what God wants them to
be regardless of who the new pastor is. Get behind them
and support them and work together again to see what God
wants to do and through the Salvation Army here.
"I think God is doing some wonderful things for the Sal-
vation Army here," Doug continues, "through young peo-
ple, through the adult day care and different age levels. But
it's the body of the church that God really wants to work as
much as the pastors.
"We're grateful to the congregation for what they have
given back to us and what they allowed us to do as their
pastors but I would encourage them to know that God is not
done with the Quincy Corps by any stretch of the imagina-
tion."

THIS IS A I950's postcard reproduction of a photo by
Mike Worley showing the Quincy Fire Department's
Ladder Two fire truck at the Wollaston fire station at
Beale Street. This w hite fire engine was built by the Sea-
grave Fire Apparatus Company then located in Colum-
bus, Ohio. Over the years, the Quincy fire department
had a number of similar ladder trucks that required a
second driver in the back to steer the rear wheels. This
ladder truck was put out of commission after being in a
collision with another fire engine while responding to a
false alarm. It never went back to service being replaced
by a 1973 Maxim 100-foot TT. Today's Ladder Two at
Wollaston is a red, all-aluminum, 1998 E-One 75-foot
Quint. It was manufactured at the E-One Fire Appara-
tus Company's plant in Ocala, Florida. To contact Tom

Thanks Mariano For Service On School Committee
I would like to thank
Rep. Ronald Mariano for his
past service on the School
Committee. His duties as
part of the House leadership
team do require much atten-
tion and are important to the
people of Quincy. From his
previous 16 years of service
on the School Committee,
he is well aware of the re-
sponsibilities and time com-
mitments required by the
position.
His level of commitment
and effort should not go un-
appreciated. He has done
more than his duty. Rep.
Mariano can take comfort in
the fact that he is not alone
in his passion and concern
for the schools.
There are people willing
to rise up and meet the chal-
lenges facing our schools
and are capable of making
the necessary commitment

Farmers' Market Opens Season June 12
The Quincy Farmers'
Market will open its new
season Friday, June 12 at
11:20 a.m. and continues
through the summer at the
John Hancock Municipal
Parking Lot, across from
the Quincy District Court
House, Quincy Center.
A ribbon cutting at 1:30
p.m. will official welcome
the farmers and consumers
to the weekly festive activi-
ty in Quincy Center. Among
those attending the ribbon
cutting will be Mayor Tom
Koch and Dean Rizzo, di-
rector of the Quincy 2000
Collaborative.
Students from the Point
Webster Middle School are
planning to visit the farmers
and are invited to plan beans
along with the children who
accompany their parents to
the market.
Wollaston Garden Club
members will be on hand to
assist and answer questions
on gardening.
The season is opening
with Ohan Farm free-ranged
eggs from Holbrook; Still-
man Farm and Greenhouses
on Lunenburg; Freitas Farm
of Middleboro will return
and start the season with
sweet field-ripened straw-
berries and spring vegeta-
bles.
There will also be baked
goods featured.
In addition, Ferrara
Greenhouse and Almquist
Flower Land will offer bed-
ding plants and perennials.
Hallowed Herbs will make
ice tea and scones available.
At this time, consum-
ers can also look for bright
green lettuce, radishes, sum-
mer squash, herbs, scallions,
bedding plants, tomato
plants ready for the garden
or patio.
Quincy Farmers' Market
features only locally grown
produce and sold by the
farmers themselves. Farm-
ers can also answer ques-
tions and offer information
for those planning to grow
their own vegetables.
Anneli Johnson, founder
and manager of the market,
says more and more con-
sumers are interested in lo-
cally produced and grown
products.
"It makes common sense
to buy locally in that it saves
on travel and cost of fuel,
not only on the customers'
side but also on the produc-
ers' side, as the fruits and
vegetables come from near-
by farms rather than across
the country or overseas,"
Johnson adds.

Natalie's Whole WheatAVhite Bread
(Editor's Note: The following recipe
published in last week's Quincy Sun omit-
ted one of the ingredients - 2 cups of whole
wheat flour. The entire recipe appears be-
low.)
On a recent game show, one of the ques-
tions was what is your favorite kind of
aroma coming from a kitchen? And the top
answer was the smell of bread baking.
My niece Natalie called me one day very
excited about her recent recipe for baking
bread. She uses a blend of both whole wheat
and white flour with amazing results.,
She said although the recipe is easy, it
takes a little time to get it right, but well
worth it.
Whole WheatAVhite Bread
1 package of dry yeast (use with 1/4 cup
water and 1/4 teaspoon sugar)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups . milk
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Follow the directions on the yeast pack-
age and let set for five minutes
In a bowl, add the sugar, salt and the
wheat flour.
In a sauce pan. heat the milk and the but-
ter until warm. Do not boil.
Using a hand mixer, add the liquid into
the dry mixture and the yeast mixture also.
Add in the white flour until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough and shape into a ball. Use
cooking spray and in a large bowl turn the
dough over in the bowl so the ball is well
greased. Cover and put in a warm place for
about one hour.
After the dough has doubled in size,
punch it down and pull in the sides. Cut
into two pieces for two loaf pans, and place
onto a floured surface. Leave for about 15
minutes.
Roll out the dough and roll into a loaf
size pinching the ends to keep it closed. Put
in a greased loaf pan with the seam down.
Cover the pans and let it rise (for about two
hours and she said it rose beautifully.)
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Take out of
pans and let cool. Serve warm and. enjoy!
After reading a basic recipe for white
bread, Natalie actually made the change by
blending the two flours and was pleased
with the outcome.

rhursda> . lunt- 4. 2W)V The Quincy Sun Pa««' J I
Phelan Announces Candidacy For Mayor
Cont'd From Pai^e I
hope torQuincy's future."
Staling that. "We can and
will continue to move Quin-
cy forward." Phelan said
that what he heard "over and
over from people was the
sense that under the current
administration Quincy has
somehow gone off track,
that we have lost momen-
tum. That we are headed in
the wrong direction."
Phelan said high prop-
erty taxes were the major
complaint from Quincy resi-
dents with whom he spoke.
He said people were con-
cerned with the fact that in
just one year in office May-
or Koch had increased ta.xes
more than any mayor in city
history, and that Koch "had
increased Quincy "s taxes
nearly twice as much in his
first year as 1 had in my six
years as mayor."
The former mayor also
pointed out that according
to the state Department of
Revenue, Mayor Koch in-
creased taxes more than ev-
ery city in the state, despite
the fact that Phelan had left
him with over $ 1 5 million in
the city's rainy day account.
"I heard from senior citi-
zens who had raised fami-
lies here and helped build
this city, and who were
now being forced out ot
their homes by unfair prop-
crt> tax increases. I heard
from small business people
whose taxes have skyrock
eted just at a time when a
ious) economy already had
them on the ropes."
"I heard from hundreds
of residents who complained
of pot-holed streets wreck-
ing their cars, and crumbling
sidewalks endangering their
kids' safety. And I heard
from parents and teach-
ers about a lack of support
for our public schools that
is halting the educational
progress we have worked so
hard to achieve."
Along with concerns
about Koch's high taxes,
crumbling streets, and fail-
ure to fix public schools,
Phelan referred to a "culture
of entitlement" at City Hall.
"Over and over again. 1
heard a growing resentment
of the old-time politics and
self-serving cronyism that
has returned to our City
Hall. That it has again be-
come a place where 'who
you know' is the most im-
portant question when you
are seeking a city job. or a
contract, or the services ev-
ery citizen has an equal right
to expect."
Phelan said he is upbeat
about the city's future "At
ter hearing from so man)
good, solid citizens of this
city. I come away more con-
vinced than ever that this
great cit>"s best da\s are
still to come'"
"We can and will contm
ue to move Quinc) forward
as a great place to raise a
family, a place to live out
a well-earned retirement,
a place U) invest in a new
business, a place where ev-
eryone gets a shot at their
American dream," Phelan
said.
"But we cannot move
forward with crippling
property tax increases and
uncontri)lied spending."
he continued. "We cannot
move forward with crum-
bling roadways. We cannot
move forward without a re-
newed emphasis on creating
the very best public schools
in the state."
"And we cannot move
forward with leadership
that treats City Hall like
some exclusive club with
special privileges reserved
for friends and family,"
Phelan continued. "Quincy
City Hall must once again
become the people's hall,
where every citizen gels a
fait hearing, and a fair and
equal shake."
I'helan said he was m
Mgorated b\ the e\pcii
eiice of talking to so iiianv
residents, "and 1 have been
reminded >et again of hovv
man) concerned. invoKcd.

1 did wrong, and where we
should go from here And
I listened And 1 learned
And. as 1 have said before,

b) losing than b) winning 1
certaml) have ""
Phelan also spoke of
Quinc)"s historic role in
creating .America's form
of government, and of the
cit)"s "uniquely" democrat-
ic charter
"l-iving here one's en
tire life, one can sometimes
forget Quincy 's ent)rmous
contribution to American
democracy." he said. "But
from this very place came
the courageous, ingenious
work of John Adams and
other patriots who fought
for and helped build a com-
pletely new form of govern-
ment... a government b) the
people."
"When 1 was growing

Councillors unanimously
approved several portions of
the proposed ordinance, but
were split regarding wind
power for homes.
Councillor Joseph Finn
suggested language that
would allow homeowners
to apply more easily for
permits for small or rooftop
turbines, but the measure
did not pass.
"No one has asked for
wind turbines on a house,"
said Ward 5 Councillor
Douglas Gutro.
Finn and Ward 3 Coun-
cillor Kevin Coughlin voted
for the ordinance, but said
they will work on an amend-
ment to cover home wind
turbines.
Noise Ordinance
When Ward 6 Councillor
Brian McNamee first pro-
posed a noise ordinance in
February, he described the
noise assaulting his constitu-
ents at Marina Bay from the
Neponset River Bridge re-
construction and nightclubs
on the boardwalk.
Since that time, Mc-
Namee has adjusted his anti-
noise proposal and present-
ed research on noise meters
and varied ordinances.
This week. Councillors
unanimously approved a
noise ordinance Monday
but McNamee said after the
vote he was not pleased.
Councillors revised the
proposed ordinance and ap-
proved an amendment by
Councillor Michael McFar-
land increasing the noise
levels in all categories by
ten decibels.
McNamee said the in-
creases approved by the
council raised the accept-
able noise levels above Bos-
ton's limits.
"This is in keeping with
scores of ordinances across
the country," McNamee said
of the noise levels described
in his proposal.
The new ordinance, also,
includes the appointment of
a Noise Control Advisory
Board which would file an
annual report and recom-
mend changes in the ordi-
nance.
When reviewing the
proposal Monday, Coun-
cil President Jay Davis and
Councillor John Keenan
said one of the problems
is the subjective nature of
noise.

Honest Leadership
Working Together! Mayor Tom Koch brought the City's unions
together to save $10 million on health insurance costs and another $1.7 miUion in a
wage freeze because everyone worked together for Quincy's best interest.
Solving Problems ! Mayor Koch spoke openly about the City's
finances, making tough decisions to correct millions of dollars in hidden deficits,
unpaid bills, and inappropriate accounting that seriously threatened our future
stability. And he did it without using shell games.
Protecting Public Safety: Mayor Kochs new budget
maintains neighborhood police patrols, expands the Drug Unit and preserves
emergency response times without raising property taxes in the next fiscal year.
Investing in Education: w.ne c. c. .ce sc.„o,
closures and devastating cuts to school programs, Mayor Koch's budget keeps his
commitment to the classroom amid the worst fiscal crisis in a generation. He is
rebuilding relationships with the state to secure funding for a new Central Middle
School.
. Fighting For USI Mayor Koch challenged the 2007 Honeywell

''Friends,
Our City today faces challenges and tough decisions the likes of
which we have not seen in a generation. We have kept our promise

Councillors Fear Traffic Gridlock
During Neponset Bridge Work
THE HISTORY CR\NNE
• On June 6, 1683. the
Ashmolean. the world's first
university museum, opens in
Oxford. England, with col-
lections donated by English
archaeologist Elias Ashmole.
Today, the collection at the
Ashmolean Museum of Art
and Archaeology ranges from
500,000-year-old man-made
implements to 20th-century
works of art.
• On June 4, 1876, a mere
83 hours after leaving New
York City, the Transconti-
nental Express train arrives
in San Francisco. Suddenly,
a journey that had previously
taken months using horses
could be made in less than a
week. Amenities varied from
plush velvet seats to narrow
wooden benches.
• On June 7, 1893, Mo
handas K. Gandhi, a young
Indian lawyer, commits his
first act of civil disobedience.
Known as Mahatma, or "the
great soul," Gandhi's per-
suasive methods of civil dis-
obedience influenced leaders
of civil-rights movements
around the world, especially
Martin Luther King Jr.
• On June 5, 1922, George
W. Carmack. the first person
to discover gold along the
Klondike River, dies in Van-
couver, British Columbia.
Unlike many prospectors,
Carmack was not consumed
by the lust to find gold. He
enjoyed playing the organ,
reading periodicals and writ-
ing sentimental poetry.
• On June 2, 1935, Babe
Ruth, one of the greatest play-
ers in the history of baseball,
ends his Major League career
after 22 seasons, 10 Worid
Series and 714 home runs.
When Ruth died on Aug. 16,
1948, his body lay in state at
Yankee Stadium for two days
and was visited by more than
100,000 fans.
•On June 1, 1949, Law-
rence Welk's band begins a
two-year stint as the house
orchestra for radio show
"High Life Review." Though
often lampooned for his sac-
charine style, Welk eventu-
ally developed an army of
loyal fans and hosted one of
the longest-running musical
variety shows in history.
•On June3, 1961,Clar
ence Gideon is arrested and
charged with breaking into a
poolroom in Florida. The ap-
peal of Gideon's subsequent
conviction lead to the estab-
lishment of one of the chief
principles of American crimi-
nal justice in what are known
as our Miranda rights.

Kober said one lane
north and one lane south
will be closed during the
reconstruction, which is ex-
pected to last three years.
He acknowledged that there
will be traffic impacts but
stressed the urgency of the
repairs.
"We do not want chunks
of concrete falling off,"
said Kober of the 40-year-
old span, which accommo-
dates 64,000 vehicles daily.
"We're hoping the residents
of Quincy understand."
Kober estimated the
traffic impact in terms of
minutes while the area's
councillors predicted major
problems.
Councillors Kevin
Coughlin, Ward 3; Brian
McNamee, Ward 6 and
Doug Gutro, Ward 5; sug-
gested changes in the plan,
particularly in the closing of
one lane north and south.
However, Kober said
such a change would add
at least another year to the
project.
Coughlin said that he and
McNamee already lose con-
siderable time in traffic dur-
ing their commute to Boston
when their cars wait on the
bridge.
McNamee predicted the
Phase 2 construction will
add "a whole new dimen-
sion of stress to our constit-
uents" who live in the area.
He also sought additional
community meetings.
Gutro feared the already
heavy traffic on Hancock
Street and the bridge will
repeat "Easter on the Mass
Turnpike."
Councillors recom-
mended that MassHighway
develop and publicize plans
for re-routing the traffic be-
fore it reaches either Nep-
onset River Bridge or Fore
River Bridge.
Gutro asked that the signs
be posted "before you get to
Quincy. Early and often. You
don't want ^ get to Quincy
and see your . st sign when
there's bridge wi -k ahead."
MassHighway is also
overseeing construction of
a new Fore River Bridge at
Quincy 's south entrance.
The Fore River Bridge
project is slated to be adver-
tised in 2010 and, once un-
derway, last 40 months "on
the conservative side," ac-
cording to MassHighway 's
Walter Heller, director of
Accelerated Program De-
livery.
Heller told councillors
that the public process has
just begun and a meeting is
scheduled Tuesday, June 23
at Thomas Crane J*ublic Li-
brary.
"I see us having numer-
ous meetings on this," said
Heller who described two
potential plans for the new
bridge and said public input
is essential.
As for the traffic im-
pact at the new Fore River
Bridge, Heller does not ex-
pect any major problems. He
predicted minor traffic prob-
lems during the installation
of utilities at the bridge.
"We're going to keep the
temporary bridge operating
during construction. " Hel-
ler said.
The total $300 million
construction costs for both
bridges will be funded
through Governor Deval
Patrick's $3 billion Accel-
erated Bridge program ap-
proved by the legislature in
2008.
Phase 1 of the Neponset
River Bridge project cost
$20 million and Phase 2 of
the project is expected to
cost $40 million, accord-
ing to Mark Griffin, Bridge
Section Head, Department
of Conservation and Recre-
ation.
Heller said the total cost
of the Fore River Bridge
project is expected to be
$255 million. That sum in-
cludes the cost of disman-
tling the temporary struc-
ture.
Hearing Monday
On Updating
Meals On Wheels
State legislators will hold
a public hearing Monday re-
garding efforts to update the
Meals on Wheels program
to accommodate seniors
with dietary needs.
The 10 a.m. hearing will
be held in Room A2 at the
State House. Senator Mi-
chael Morrissey submit-
ted the petition, Senate Bill
#321 at the request of Sa-
bina Stenberg of the Silver
Legislature.
The proposed bills would
amend Chapter 19A, Chap-
ter 37 which defines the du-
ties of the Department of
Elder Affairs.
Stenberg has long warned
that there will be an influx of
diabetic seniors in the com-
ing years and that Senior
Centers should be prepared
to adjust to their needs and
to the problems of all se-
niors citizens.
According to Sten-
berg's petition, the Meals
on Wheels program should
offer safe meals for all au-
thorized seniors with special
dietary needs.
Quincy DAV Meets June 10

FOR
HEALTH

PATHWAYS TO HEALTH
In this era of escalating health
costs, it is preferable to maintain
health than to ignore it and risk a
health crisis. In accepting respon-
sibility for one's own health, there
has been a decided shift toward
increased exercise, improved di-
etary habits and stress reduction.
As the worid's oldest, drug-free
healing profession, chiropractic
encourages this natural approach.
By eliminating restrictions on the
flow of nerve energy as it courses
through the spinal column on its
way to virtually every area of the
body, the doctor of chiropractic
hopes to free the body's natural
recujjerative powers. The more
the public knows about the chi-
ropractic approach to maintain-
ing health, the better it can make
informed decisions about every-
one's number one priority- good
health.
We are pleased to welcome
you to our column. Are you con-
cerned about your health? The
structure and function of your
joints, muscles, nervous system,
and other systems of your body
must be balanced and working to-
gether property. Let us assist your
body to heal itself. At FAMILY
PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACnC ,
you will get the most updated care
in a safe and comfortable environ-
ment. You will be listened to and
respected. Your questions will be
answered, and your concerns will
be addressed. We look forward to
seeing you at 112 McGrath Hwy.
Call us at 617.472.4220 to sched-
ule an appointment. No matter
where you live in Eastern Mass.,
we can offer you exceptional chi-
ropractic service.
PS.: Nerve energy, emanat-
ing from the brain either directly
or indirectly, controls every organ
and function in the body.

of US are at risk of incur-
ring injuries in our own
homes every day, some of
which could even be fatal,
according to a recent study
by BRK Brands and The
Lehigh Group - makers of
the First Alert brand and
Crawford-branded garage
and home workshop orga-
nization products, respec-
tively. As proud support-
ers of the nonprofit Home
Safety Council (HSC), First
Alert and Crawford are join-
ing with HSC to recognize
Home Safety Month in June
and help spread the word
about potential home haz-
ards and tips for protecting
loved ones.
The HSC research re-
ports that Americans suffer
nearly 21 million prevent-
able household injuries each
year.
"Sadly, many home acci-
dents might have been pre-
vented with proper planning
and simple safety precau-
tions," says Deborah Han-
son, director of external af-
fairs for First Alert and The
Lehigh Group.
Focusing on some of the
most common household
hazards, Hanson offers three
easy ways to increase the
level of safety at home:
Be armed with alarms
Installing smoke and car-
bon monoxide (CO) alarms
will immediately help im-
prove the safety of your
home and family. Accord-
ing to the HSC, alarms that
detect smoke cut the risk of
fire-related fatalities nearly
in half.
Although the BRK/Le-
high survey revealed 95
percent of Americans have
smoke alarms in their homes ,
the study also showed that
one in 10 Americans have
never changed the batteries.
Further, more than half have
dangerously silenced smoke
detectors by removing bat-
teries or removing entire
units from walls or ceilings.
"After installing alarms,
it is critical to check them
regularly to make sure they
are in good working condi-
tion," says Meri-K Appy,
president of the HSC. "We
advise homeowners to test
alarms monthly and to install
fresh batteries at least once a
year. Also, if smoke alarms
are more than 10 years old,
replace them. Home Safety
Month, in June, is a great
reminder to test alarms and
replace as needed."
The BRK/Lehigh study
revealed even more alarm-
ing findings about Ameri-
cans' use - or lack thereof
- of CO alarms. Despite
nearly daily media reports
of deaths and injuries from
CO poisoning, nearly half -
47 percent - of all U.S. ho-
meowners do not have CO
alarms in their homes.
"Consumers are gener-
ally more aware of the dan-
gers of home fires because
fire is something they can
see, feel and understand,"
says Hanson. "Carbon mon-
oxide is especially dan-
gerous because it attacks
without warning and can be
deadly."
Known as "the silent
killer," CO exposure is the
No. 1 cause of accidental
poisoning in the U.S. The
colorless, odorless gas can
originate from anything that
bums a fossil fuel — such as
a gas furnace, stove, water
heater, barbeque grill, wood-
burning fireplace or car.
For the best protection
smoke alarms and CO alarms
(or a combination unit)
should be installed on every
level of the home (including
the basement) and in every
bedroom or sleeping area.
For whole home protection,
Hanson suggests intercon-
nected alarms, which sig-
nal alarms through multiple
alarm stations in the home
if a threat is detected in a
single room. This gives resi-
dents more time to react and
get everyone to safety. First
Alert's ONELINK wireless
offerings provides home-
owners the protection of in-
terconnected alarms without
needing to call an electrician
to install them in the home's
electrical system.
Extinguish fear (and
flames)
Another home safety
must-have, according to
Hanson, is a fire extinguish-
er, especially critical during
the early stages of a fire.
Still , more than a quarter of
Americans report not own-
ing a fire extinguisher, ac-
cording to the BRK/Lehigh
survey. And, more than one-
third of those who do own a
traditional home extinguish-
er say they would not feel
"very confident" operating
it should a fire ignite.
One easy-to-operate so-
lution is Tundra Fire Extin-
guishing Spray. Effective
on cooking oil, fabric, wood
and electrical fires, this
14-ounce point-and-spray
can covers a wider surface
area and provides users with
more time to fight a fire
than conventional fire extin-
guishers.
Get a grip on garage dan-
gers
When it comes to home
safety, one of the most of-
ten overlooked areas of the
home also is one of the most
dangerous. Each year, the
garage is the site of thou-
sands of unintentional inju-
ries ranging from punctures
and poisoning to fatal falls.
According to the BRK/
Lehigh survey, nearly four
in 10 Americans have
tripped over an item in their
cluttered garage; more than
a quarter have hit an object
when opening a vehicle
door; and 22 percent have
accidentally hit or run over
something when parking.
Hanson suggests giving
your garage a quick safety
makeover with these tips
courtesy of the HSC:
* Store shovels, rakes,
lawn chairs, gardening tools,
bikes and other sharp and
large objects on the wall and
out of high-traffic areas.
* Store ladders horizon-
tally. This prevents tipping
and discourages children
from climbing on them.
* Make sure poisonous
products have child-resis-
tant caps, are clearly labeled
and are stored out of sight
and reach of children.
* Keep floors and steps
clear of clutter and imme-
diately clean up grease and
spills.
* Mount a fire extinguish-
er and an emergency pre-
paredness kit in the garage
and make sure every family
member knows where they
are and how to use them.

Dressing Your Home With Designed Exteriors
(ARA) - Whether you're
building a new home or
remodeling for a different
look, one of the first things
you need to consider is your
home's curb appeal. Com-
mon curb appeal updates in-
clude landscaping, walkway
and patio renovations. An-
other remodeling practice
that can lead to major curb
appeal is updating the sur-
faces of a home's exterior
walls.
Dollars

New Home
Buyers Can
Pocket $8,000
As part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, a new tax credit
will allow first-time home
buyers to claim up to $8,000.
Unlike the tax credit plan of
last year (which allowed an
interest-free tax "loan" of
$7,500), this one doesn't
have to be paid back.
Qualifying homes must
be purchased between Jan.
J, 2009. and Dec. 1, 2009.
"Purchased" means that you
actually close on the home,
with settlement completed
and title transferred to you.
The credit is 10 percent
of the purchase price, with a
cap of $8,000.
Any type of home can
qualify, whether it's a resale,
a new one, one you have
constructed, a condo, a mo-
bile home, single family or
townhouse.
"First-time buyers" are
those who haven't owned a
principal residence during
the previous three years. A
principal residence is one
where you live more than
half the time. Owning a
vacation home won't dis-
qualify you, as it's a place
you stay sometimes, but not
where you live.
A designed exterior is
one of the hottest trends in
the exterior cladding cat-
egory, and it's one of the
most dramatic upgrades you
can make to a house. Add-
ing flair to your home by
mixing a variety of materi-
als on your exterior wall
surfaces, including siding,
stone, brick and shingles,
can considerably boost re-
sale value.
Builders and remodelers
There are income caps: If
you're single, income cannot
exceed $75,000. For mar-
ried couples, that amount
is $150,000. Depending on
your modified gross income,
there is a phase-out of the
credit amount near the top
of the income range.
To keep the credit, you
need to live in the home (use
it as your principal place of
residence) for three years. If
you sell the home, you have
to pay back the full credit.
Use IRS Form 5404 to
claim your credit when you
file. Beware: The form is for
both the old ($7,500) and
new ($8,000) credits. Read
the form carefully as you fill
it out. That credit amount
is then transferred to your
Form 1040.
If you qualify for the full
$8,000, but don't owe that
much in taxes, you'll end up
with a credit at the bottom
of your Form 1040, and a
check for the balance will be
sent to you from the Internal
Revenue Service.
If you bought a home and
qualified under the $7,500
pay-back scenario and filed
your 2008 tax forms, you
can file an amendment to
your taxes (Form 1040X) to
claim the new credit. Look
online for IRS news release
2009-27 for details.

pull these solutions from
textbooks as well as port-
folios of some the world's
most creative designers.
Designed exteriors combine
several looks and styles to
create a unique and eye-
catching first impression.
Mixing materials gives a
home character and sets it
apart from other homes in
the neighborhood.
The hottest home fashions
Buyers are always look-
ing for the biggest return
on investment. Technologi-
cal advancements in home
exterior materials allow
builders to decrease instal-
lation time and use products
that can stand up to harsh
weather conditions. Stone
veneer products — the fast-
est growing home exterior
category - offer customiz-
able cut and color options,
and they're growing in
popularity across the nation.
Michael E. Nelson, founder
and president of Nelson De-
sign Group, LLC, uses stone
veneer products in many of
his designs.
"In new homes, 90 per-
cent of projects use stone
veneer when considering
mixing exterior materials,"
says Nelson. "The material
is rapidly replacing the pre-
vious choice of brick."
Armed with huge prod-
uct catalogs, companies
like United Stone Veneer
by Ply Gem create stone
veneer products made of
cement that weigh a frac-
tion of actual stone and are
simple to install. According
to Dave Barrett, president
of United Stone Veneer by
Ply Gem, the company of-
fers eight different styles of
stone in more than 38 differ-
ent colors to meet custom
building needs. "We offer a
wide variety of stone styles
because stone preferences
vary around the country,"
says Barrett. "The variety
ensures that all customers
can find a combination of
stone veneer styles and col-
ors that will match the style
in their area."
"The rustic look of mixed
materials using stone is tak-
ing over across the U.S.
and replacing traditional
brick-styled homes," says
Nelson. These materials are
often used around the bot-
tom quarter of a house or on
accent walls in combination
with vinyl siding or polypro-
pylene shakes and shingles.
A vintage look
Another building materi-
al used in creating designed
exteriors that promotes the
popular rustic look is board
and batten siding. Unlike
traditional siding that at-
taches horizontally across a
home, the board and batten
look creates vertical lines.
According to Jerry Blais,
vice president of market-
ing for Ply Gem, a building
products company, the board
and batten look is growing
in popularity.
"Many of our customers
are using vertical board and
batten siding to differentiate
their home from neighbors,"
says Blais. "We are also see-
ing customers use board and
batten in the main area of a
wall and then accent it with
shakes or shingle looks in
accent gables, or peaked ar-
eas just below a roof."
Blais recommended Ce-
dar Discovery Hand Split
Shakes and Quest Signature
cedar-look siding, both from
Masfic Home Exteriors by
Ply Gem, as two options
that have a real wood look
with the benefits of durable
vinyl siding.
According to Nelson,
housing developments that
previously did not allow
vinyl siding are beginning
to permit products like this
because of their realistic and
aesthetically-pleasing de-
signs.
Increased value
Value and upkeep are
two important advantages
to keep in mind when build-
ing a home with a designed
exterior. Blais offered some
key points for those consid-
ering designed exteriors.
"Although the initial cost
of a designed exterior may
be higher than purchasing
siding alone, the increase
in curb appeal translates to
higher sell-value and com-
petitive differentiation,"
says Blais. "The key is to
deliver a high-quality prod-
uct that requires little to no
maintenance and will con-
finue to look great for years
to come."

New Deck IVends Help Define
Your Outdoor Living Area
(ARA) - Just as your
home's decor is a statement
of your taste and personal-
ity, so is your backyard. As
the trend for enjoying cus-
tomized decks and outdoor
living space grows, person-
alized outdoor living areas
are the latest in home im-
provement upgrades.
Building or updating an
existing deck isn't simply
a great investment: It pro-
vides opportunities to per-
sonalize your backyard and
customize the look to your
taste. And with many fami-
lies staying home this sum-
mer thanks to the economy,
why not create your perfect
location for entertaining?
"By designing your deck
with accents, lights and
unique accessones, you can
transform your backyard
into an outdoor retreat you'll
never want to leave, wheth-
er you're catching up with
friends over a grilled dinner
in the evening or are curled
up with a book in a lounge
chair on a sunny afternoon,"
says Chris Fox, marketing
manager at Universal Forest
Products.
With a new emphasis on
value, durability and ultra-
low maintenance, many
homeowners seek deck
materials that resist fading
and staining. New Latitudes
Capricorn Tropical compos-
ite decking, sold through
dealers nationwide, is a
good choice. Low-mainte-
nance, eco-friendly compos-

ite decking material is made
from a mixture of recycled
wood fiber and postindus-
trial high-density polyethyl-
ene, which looks natural and
feels great on bare feet.
Add unique touches to
really make the deck your
personal haven. Change
your deck's look with in-
teresting balusters to match
other decorative accents
on your house or in your
yard. You'll find traditional
bronze balusters, classic
rounded rails or even scenic
glass balusters, which give
your outdoor room a clear
view.
Then consider breaking
up the wooden look of your
deck with faux stone post
covers, to help match the
look of your deck to a stone
house, to a backyard with
stone pavers or to a stone
wall. Easily installed over
a wooden post, faux stone
post covers come in several
colors.
Finish off your rail-
ing system with post caps.
Deckorators post caps, by
Maine Ornamental , are
functionally and artistically
decorative. Maybe you're
interested in the more tra-
ditional black, stainless or
pewter colors, topping a
solar LED light to illumi-
nate your deck for evening
use. Or try a creative look
with stained glass post caps,
bringing a colorful flair to
each deck post.
With so many new prod-
ucts and options available,
you can transform your
deck into a new outdoor liv-
ing area. And because you
designed it, it will perfectly
fit your lifestyle.

New Rainbow Flag Flying
At United First Parish Church
Cont 'd From Page 1
Presidents" because Presi-
dents John Adams and John
Quincy Adams and their
wives are entombed in the
church crypt.
Identical flags were sto-
len in August and Septem-
ber of 2008. Last October,
the flag was taken down
and burned, with fragments
and ashes left on the porch
steps.
United First Parish
Church displays the flag as
a well-recognized sign of
equality and solidarity with
the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual,
transgender community.
For this reason and because
of prior acts of vandalism,
church officials consider the
vandalism as a crime of hate
against a minority group.
The church has also filed
a report with the Quincy
Human Rights Commission
and Rev. Bennett has spo-
ken with the Civil Rights
Division of the Attorney
General's office.
"It is sad that there are
still people who resort to
such mean-spirited acts,"
Rev. Bennett said. "We will
keep the flag flying. We will
keep standing on the side of
equality and respect."

A ROYAL PAIN IN THE FOOT
There are numerous causes ing pain, the entire body can tie
of foot pain, and nearly all can be
grouped under one of three gen-
eral categories. First are ill-fitting
shoes. For example, high-heeled
shoes concentrate pressure on
the toes and can aggravate, If not
cause, problems with the toes.
Second are certain medical con-
ditions, including arthritis, diabe-
tes, obesity, and pregnancy. Any
medical condition that causes a
disturbance in the way a person
walks can contribute to foot pain.
Some medications, such as drugs
used for high blood pressure,
can cause foot swelling. Third is
high-impact exercise. This sort
of exercising, such as jogging
or strenuous aerobics, can in-
jure the feet. Comnwn injuries
include corns, calluses, blisters,
muscle aamps, acute foot ar>d
ankle injuries, and plantar warts.
When adverse conditions hin-
der mobility and activity by caus-
affected. Dont fall victim to this
situation. Seek professional pedi-
atric diagnosis and treatment be-
fore little problems grow into big
ones. If your foot problem con-
cerns pronation, we invite you to
consult with us aoout HyProCu-
re™. I am one of only two podia-
trists in Massachusetts who has
the advanced training necessary
to preform this pain-saving, mini-
mally invasive procedure that re-
quire no casting and has patients

A Job Well Done
On Friday, May 15, 2009, Detective Brian Coen ob-
tained a search warrant for a home on Ellerton Road in
Quincy.
At approximately 6:05 P.M . ,
Detectives Brian Coen, Wil-
liam O'Brien, Edward Ryan,
and Bill Ward, along with Of-
ficers Edward Hartnett, Pat-
rick Calabaro of the Special
Operations Unit (SOU), and
Officers' Michael Duran, Den-
nis Keenan, and Paul Foley of
the Uniform Division, execut-
ed the search warrant.
Upon entering the property,
the Detectives spotted the sus-
pect seated inside the detached garage at the end of the
driveway to the left of the house. Detective O'Brien seized
the suspect while Officer Duran spoke with the suspect's
three-year-old child, who was playing in the driveway.
Officer Keenan and Detective Ward knocked on the
front door of the residence several times while announc-
ing Quincy Police. After a brief period of time a female
voice from inside the residence yelled something.
Detective Ward again announced Quincy Police but no
one came to the door, so he then turned the doorknob of
the front door and entered with Officer Keenan. A fe-
male later identified as the suspect's mother met them in
the hallway and she was advised about the search war-
rant. Detectives Coen and Ryan entered into the resi-
dence from the unlocked back door. A copy of the search
warrant was given to the occupants and their Miranda
Rights were provided.
Detective Coen interviewed the suspect, who said that
there were no narcotics and was not concerned about the
Police searching his home. Massachusetts State Troop-
er Keith Pantazelous and his narcotics trained K9
Rocky arrived and conducted a search of the garage area
where suspect #1 was still seated. K9 Rocky indicat-
ed a positive response for narcotics in the right side of
the garage, so Detectives Coen and Ward, along with Of-
ficer Hartnett, searched the garage and found a nylon bag
inside a Rubbermaid container, holding two shot guns
wrapped in clothing.
Officer Keenan asked the suspect to produce an FID
card or License to carry a firearm but the only card he
showed was an I.D. card for a gun range. While inspect-
ing the shotguns it was discovered that one of the shot-
gun barrels was "sawed-off'. Suspect #1 was placed
under arrest for two counts of "Illegal Possession of a
Firearm and Possession of a sawed-off shotgun."
The suspect, awaiting the wagon transport, stated that
he wanted to talk and then admitted to having narcot-
ics on in the house. He offered to show where the nar-
cotics were if the Police agreed not to search any fur-
ther and disrupt his family. The Detectives informed
him that they were going to search the entire property
but if he told them where narcotics were, it would make
the search go much quicker. He also asked for a low bail
but was told that would be the decision of the Bail Clerk.
The suspect led Detectives to his bedroom and said that
the narcotics were in the pocket of his jacket on the
wall.
Detective Ward retrieved a plastic bag containing
three plastic bags which appeared to be both crack co-
caine (two bags) and powdered cocaine (one bag), then
asked the suspect how much cocaine was here and he
said, "About 20 grams." Officer Peter Clancy transported
the suspect to the station for booking.
Detective Coen went back to searching the garage and
found another firearm and 9mm ammunition inside a Chi-
vas Regal box. This firearm was a 9mm. Sig Sauer with a
defaced serial number. The anmiunition was marked "law
enforcement use only" 9mm hollow -point ammunition.
Trooper Pantazelous and K9 Rocky conducted a search of
the residence and found the presence of narcotics in the
ceiling of the basement.
The Trooper opened up the drop ceil-
ing and removed a box that contained $1100.00
in $100 bills. He also discovered two small digi-
tal scales with white residue in the same location.
A further search of the home uncovered numerous rounds
of ammunition, 59 vials, a Stun Gun Backpack and a Po-
lice scanner. As a result of the above stated facts and
items seized, the suspect was charged with 'Traffick-
ing cocaine, Possessing a controlled substance with in-
tent to distribute within a school zone and Possession
of a Sa wed-off Shotgun, 3 counts of possessing a fire-
arm without and FID or License, Defacing a firearm se-

NQ Drops 1" Round PlayojfGame, 5-0
Raiders Fall To Walpole;
Season Still A Success
Sun Sports
yyY>^>^yyyyyyyyyy>o^x>y.yyyy -o
"yyyyy/^^^^',/^
By SEAN BRENNAN
A successful season
came to a sudden end for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers last Saturday afternoon
at Adams Field follow-
ing a 5-0 loss to Walpole
High School in a Division 1
South Sectional tournament
game.
The defeat in the state
tournament may have
closed the book on the
season quicker than was
expected for the Red Raid-
ers, but this team has noth-
ing to be ashamed of. The
2009 Red Raiders helped
get North Quincy baseball
back on the map and. in
the process, helped the pro-
gram get back on track after
several years of average to
below average play.
North Quincy finished
the spnng with a record 16
regular season wins (one
victory shy of the all-time
school record of 17 set in
1998). The team also cap-
tured the school's first divi-
sion title since 1989, win-
ning the Patriot League's
Fisher Division crown
in their first year playing
in this ultra-competitive
league. The Red Raiders
also earned their first tour-
nament appearance since
2002. breaking a streak of
seven years without playing
a meaningful post-sea.son
game.
Pretty good stuff and ac-
cording to NQ head coach
John Fidalgo, it should only
get better next season.
"We set a goal at the
beginning of the season to
make the tournament, and
we did just that." Fidalgo
said, 'it was disappointing
to lose in the first-round.
but the team's attitude this
season went from 'hoping
to win,' to 'expecting to
win.' That was the biggest
improvement the coaching
staff saw all season from
this team.
"We will be back next
year and we expect to be
just as good, if not better."
Last Saturday at Adams
Field, North faced a tal-
ented Walpole High School
squad in the first-round
and came up short. Junior
pitcher Ryan Louis did his
best to keep the Raiders in
the game, pitching eight
strong innings and strik-
ing out eight Rebel batters,
but despite his performance
on the hill. North Quincy
could get very little going
at the dish.
Senior Matt Rodriquez
(two hits) and junior John
Ainsley (two hits) both fin-
ished with multiple hits, but
it was not enough to carry
North past Walpole.
"It was the first time
playing in a post-season
game for any of my play-
ers and before the game we
talked about holding them
(Walpole) to a 1-2-3 first
inning and then getting out
there and getting some hits
to help take some of the
pressure off. But Walpole
scored four runs in the first,
and it seemed like after that,
the game kind of started
moving in fast forward.
"Instead of slowing the
game down and playing the
way we had all season long,
we started to try and do too
much. It was understand-
able. Everyone wanted to
be that batter who got us
going. That stuff happens in
baseball and unfortunately

Striking out eight batters. In spite of Louis' workhorse perfor-
mance on the hill, the Raiders lost to Walpole 5-0 in the first-
round of the Dl South Sectionals.
we couldn't get anything
against them. We kind of
reverted back to 'hoping to
win' instead of 'expecfing
to win,' and it showed on
the field.
"Walpole was a post-
season tested team, having
played in the South finals
last year against BC High,
and most of their players
have played in the tourna-
ment for the last four years.
It was tough to lose, but my
staff is very proud of what
this team did accomplish
this year."
Fidalgo and his staff will
have to contend with the de-
parture of nine seniors when
the 2010 season gets started
next March. These nine
players include Rodriguez,
Joe Vialpando. Joe Edgerly.
Danny Russell. Frank Flo-
ra. Lamonte Toombs. Paul
Reardon. Matt Jay and Ben
Leahy, and all nine have left
the program in better shape
than when they first arrived
in the scene.
"These nine will be
missed, but we have a great
collection of talent coming
back." Fidalgo added. "And
to be honest, many of these
seniors were role play-
ers. Losing Rodriquez. our
starting catcher may hurt,
but we do have a very good
jayvee catcher coming up
in Mike Stille. Edgerly was
our #3 starter, but we also
have pitching talent at the
jayvee and freshmen levels,
so we are expecting them to
make the jump to vaisit\.
But all of our graduating
seniors have helped to gel
North Quincy baseball back
where we want it to be.
"Next season we shi)uld
be just as good and our
goals will be even higher.
These kids are all commit-
ted to baseball throughout
the year, be it playing le-
gion ball or fall ball, and
I am certain that our team
will be just as good next
season."
Win or lose. North Quin-
cy baseball is back, and that
can only be a good thing for
the school and the city.
"It was a banner year for
North Quincy baseball."
Fidalgo said proudly. "I am
so proud of what this team
accomplished and we are
already looking forward to
getfing started up again in
2010."
Note: The NQHS and
QHS baseball teams will
be holding the 1" Annual
Alumni Game on August
22 at 7 p.m. at Adams Field.

Team Wins Double Dutch State Tournament
Merrymount's "Tremendous
3" Jump To First-Place
Merrymount's "Tremen-
dous 3," a double-dutch trio
made up of Shannon Foley,
Lauren Saccoach and Li-
ana Cunningham, all third
graders at Merrymount El-
ementary School, recently
captured first-place at the
Third Grade Level at the
17'*' Annual Massachusetts
State Double Dutch Tour-
nament held at Solomon
Court on the campus of
Northeastern University.
The annual tournament
is run by the American
Double Dutch League and
is sponsored by the Red
Auerbach Youth Founda-
tion and Fitz Urban Youth
Sport-Sport in Society.
Merrymount's 'Tremen-
dous 3" is part of the organi-
zation called the Beantown
Jumpers and Patii Travers
and Kathy Petrilli coach
the girls. Foley, Saccoach
and Cunningham have been
jumping and performing to-
gether since the fall of 2007;
the team, this year, improved
so much and scored the
highest overall, competing
against two other third grade
teams from Dorchester and
Roxbury.
During the Singles Com-
pulsory-portion of the com-
petition, Cunningham did
not stop the rope once and
finished on time. Her perfor-
mance was flawless, accord-
ing to her coaches. Saccoach
jumped the Speed-portion
of the competition and only
stepped on the rope once m
two minutes of jumping.
During their Freestyle,
the trio performed with such
grace and precision that it
was enjoyable to watch,
said Petrilli and Travers.
Foley started the routine
by jumping over Saccoach
into turning ropes and then
performed several tncks,
including pop-ups and kicks
while her teammates turned
the ropes and walked around
the floor in a circle. Cun-
ningham later executed her
tricks with ease, includ-
ing heel touches and speed
dance moves; Saccoach then
ended the routine with tricks
that included holding her leg
above her head, doing push-
ups and forward crawls in
the ropes.
The teamwork that the
giris displayed at the com-
petition was outstanding, ac-
cording to their coaches.
The team, with their
performance and standing,
earned an invitation to the
2(X)9 American Double
Dutch League World Tour-
nament in Sumter. South
Carolina in June.
Last year, the Merr>-
mount "Tremendous 3"
won first-place at the local
RAYF Double Dutch Tour-
nament and this year the
team also captured first -
place, in the Singles Level
2-3''i-5'h Grade level against
ten other teams, at the local
RAYF's 13"' Annual Invita-
tional Double Dutch Tour-
nament back in April.

QMC Receives Heart Association Award
Quincy Medical Center
recently received the Amer-
ican Heart Association's
Get with the Guidelines -
Coronary Artery Disease
(GWTG-CAD) Gold Per-
formance Award.
The award recognizes
QMC's commitment and
success in implementing a
higher standard of cardiac
care that effectively im-
proves treatment of patients
hospitalized with coronary
artery disease.
Under the GWTG-CAD
program, patients are started
on aggressive risk reduction
therapies such as cholester-
ol-lowenng drugs, aspirin,
ACE inhibitors and beta-
blockers in the hospital and
receive smoking cessation/
weight management coun-
seling as well as referrals for
cardiac rehabilitation before
they are discharged. Hospi-
tals that receive the GWTG-
CAD Gold Performance
Award have demonstrated
for 24 consecutive months
that at least 85 percent of
its eligible coronary patients
(without contraindications)
are discharged following the
American Heart Associa-
tion's recommended treat-
ment guidelines.
"The American Heart As-
sociation applauds Quincy
Medical Center for its suc-
cess in implementing the
appropriate evidence-based
care and protocols to reduce
the number of recurrent
events and deaths in cardio-
vascular disease patients,"
said Gregg C. Fonarow,
M.D., national chairman of
the Get with the Guidelines
Steering Committee and Di-
rector of Ahmanson-UCLA
Cardiomyopathy Center.
"QMC has achieved a high
level of performance in
terms of implementmg these
life-prolonging treatments."
"QMC is dedicated to
making our cardiac unit
among the best in the coun-
try, and the American Heart
Association's Get with
the Guidelines program is
helping us accomplish that
by making it easier for our
professionals to improve
the long-term outcomes of
our cardiac patients," said
Aishia Springer, MS, RN,
clinical manager of Cardio-
vascular Services. "We are
pleased to be recognized for
our dedication and achieve-
ment in cardiac care."
The American Heart As-
sociations GWTG-CAD
program helps hospitals
increase the use of and ad-
herence to the association "s
secondary prevention guide-
Imes for coronary artery dis-
ease. Developed to assist
healthcare professionals
follow proven standards and
procedures before patients
are discharged, GWTG-
CAD can help QMC reduce
the risk of recurrent heart
attacks and death in treated
patients. The program mo-
bilizes teams in acute care
hospitals to implement
American Heart Associa-
tion/American College of
Cardiology secondary pre-
vention guidelines.
According to the Ameri-
can Heart Association, ap-
proximately 565,000 people
suffer a new heart attack and
300,000 experience a recur-
rent heart attack each year.
Statistics also show that
within one year of a heart at-
tack, 18 percent of men and
23 percent of women will
die. Within five years after
an attack, about 33 percent
of men and 43 percent of
women will die.
The American Heart As-
sociation's GWTG program
is being implemented in hos-
pitals around the country.
Thwarting Summer's Little Creepy-Crawly - The Tick
(ARA) - For sheer skin-
crawling summer creepi-
ness, few experiences beat a
tick bite. But worse than the
unpleasant surprise of dis-
covering you've been bitten
by a tick are the health risks
that come with the bite .
"I've been chomped by
ticks multiple times, as has
nearly anyone who's spent
time in the outdoors," says
Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg,
editor of "Wilderness Medi-
cine" magazine and the au-
thor of eight books on out-
door safety. "The tick drops
onto your skin, burrows in
painlessly and sucks. It's
creepy to say the least. And
beyond that, it's dangerous.
Tick bites can cause a variety
of serious health problems,
including Colorado Tick Fe-
ver, Rocky Mountain Spot-
ted Fever, Tularemia and. of
course, Lyme Disease."
Lyme affected at least
27,000 Americans in 2007,
according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion {CDC). And because
it's often hard to diagnose,
and many who are bitten by
ticks don't even realize it
until after symptoms appear,
the actual number of Lyme
cases is probably much
higher.
So how do you avoid the
disturbing, risky experience
of a tick bite while enjoying

or periodontal disease, woukjnl

grow a replacement tooth? After

move in to take their places.
Scientists doing research on the
matter think that the possibility
I exists. In fact, geneticists have
recently discovered tfie gene
responsibte for switching on the
replacement-tooth mechanism.
The so-called 08(2 gene re-
sides bebw the top layer of gum
tissue (epithelium) in mesenchy-
mal tissue, where it combines
efforts with two other genes to
fonn budding teeth. Manipulat-

all the great outdoor activi-
ties associated with summer
fun? Van Tilburg offers a
few tips for minimizing the
risk of getting a tick bite:
Cover up
Unlike mosquitoes or
fleas, the other top insect
pests of summer, ticks don't
jump or fly. They drop, fall
or cling to humans from
trees, bushes or long grass.
When your summer adven-
tures take you to an outdoor
area that's a likely tick habi-
tat, like the forest or a field
of high grass, protect your-
self with long-sleeved shirts
and pants. Tuck the pants
into your socks to protect as
much skin as possible.
Use repellents
DEET is a very effective
repellent for a range of in-
sects, including ticks. Prod-
ucts like Ben's 100 pump
enhance your overall protec-
tive efforts. Anyone who's
ever tried to apply repellent
to a small child will appreci-
ate Ben's 30 wipes, offering
a novel delivery method that
puts the repellent in an easy-
to-apply wipe that smoothes
repellent onto the skin. If
you're concerned about us-
ing a strong chemical on
your own or your child's
body, try a DEET-free alter-
native like Natrapel 8-hour,
which contains 20 percent of
the active ingredient Picari-
din — one of three types of
repellents recommended by
the CDC which has proven
to be as effective as DEET in
repelling insects. Natrapel's
formula is also gear safe, so
it won't damage your sun-
glasses or other plastic or
synthetic materials.
Do a safety check
After you return from
outdoor activities, thor-
oughly check your hair and
skin to catch ticks before
they have a chance to bite
and burrow. Enlist another
person to help if necessary,
but be thorough. Often, you
have two or three hours
to remove a tick before it
burrows in. And if you do
get bitten, your chances of
avoiding Lyme are better
if you remove the tick as
quickly as possible.
Worst-case scenario
Despite your best efforts,
you still might get bitten by
a tick. Forget the old wives
tales of using nail polish
or a match to remove the
tick. The best method is to
use tick or splinter-removal
forceps, grabbing as close
as possible to the head, and
pulling the tick out with
slow, gentle pressure. Be
careful not to sever the head
from the body. "I've had
to dig out many tick heads
in the emergency room,"
Van Tilburg says. Wash the
wound thoroughly with soap
and water.
Keep an eye on the
wound area for a few weeks.
A circular rash that looks
like a target or bull 's eye is a
telltale sign of Lyme, but it
may take awhile to emerge.
In fact, symptoms of Lyme
- including fever, fatigue,
muscle and joint aches, head-
aches and swollen glands
- may take three days to a
month or longer to emerge.
If you suspect you've been
exposed to Lyme or any
other tick-borne disease, see
your doctor immediately.

men. Dehydration is common.
For most, drinking water as a
replacement fluid in hot weath-
er is fine. It's not going to lead
to a dangerous drop in bixly
sodium. Only those who lose
lots of sweat for long periods
of time run the risk of hypona-
tremia by drinking pure water.
This is advice that doesn't
apply only to athletes or back-
packers. It applies to all those
who are out working in hot
weather and sweating up a
storm.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have hypertension, and I go
to the beach often. Can salt
in salt water get through the
skin as medical patches get
through the skin? My doc-
tors have increased my dose
of medicine and have added
additional medicines without
much improvement in my
blood pressure.
Could the salt water I
swim in be keeping my blood
pressure high? - G.S.
ANSWER: G.S., I know I
answered this question before,
but you must not have seen it.
I'll do it again.
The salt in salt water doesn 't
get through your skin. Swim-
ming in salt water doesn't raise
blood pressure. It improves it.
All exercise does.
If you miss the answer this
time, G.S., I have to drop the
question. People will think I'm
obsessed with it.

sion provides more details on

What to Drink
When Exercising
in the Heat
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am taking my two teen-
age boys backpacking in the
Southwest this August. It will
be hot and dry, and I am pre-
paring for those conditions. I
need some guidance on what
fluids to drink. I was taught
that drinking plain water
is the best way to stay hy-
drated. My older son says his
class was told not to drink
plain water, because it could
cause brain damage. What is
this all about? -F.W.
ANSWER: It's all about
becoming sodium-depleted
and having the brain swell as
a result. The condition is hy-
ponatremia.
It used to be taught that,
when exercising in hot weather,
people should guzzle water at
every opportunity, even when
they don't feel thirsty. That
can be dangerous if the exer-
cise lasts for hours and hours
and if the only liquid drunk is
water. Too much water dilutes
body sodium. That, in turn,
can cause brain swelling and,
in the extreme, death.
Up-to-date advice is to let
thirst be a rough guide for how
much liquid you drink. If peo-
ple are engaged in prolonged
exercise, it is good to include
some salt in the program. Half
a teaspoon of salt and half a
teaspoon of baking soda (so-
dium bicarbonate) in a quart of
water can keep body sodium
levels from dropping. For you
and your sons, it would be ad-
visable to salt your food and to
eat some salty snacks ~ anoth-
er way to ensure body sodium
doesn't bottom out.

Thomas Jefferson once said : "When
angry, count ten before you speak, if
very angry, a hundred."
Anger can be a helpful endowment
if it is kept under control. Without
it injustices in life would be allowed
to pass by without either protest or
understanding.
But anger can be tricky. It can easily get out of hand
. . When it becomes a burning rage, it becomes a distinct
liability and can become troublesome and dangerous.
One cannot imagine life on this planet without fire. Yet
fire, when it gets out of hand, Ls ravaging beyond descrip-
tion. Anger, like hre, can get out of hand and be ravaging,
too.
A person who lets anger get out of control needs to call
upon as many 'iire departments" he can to help him get
the burning rage under control.
Anger properly controlled can be good, but anger, like
fire, can also destroy. Anger may be a necessary factor of
life, but it performs only under strict control. Remember,
anger is often more harmful than the injury that caused
it!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
There's nothing an Aries Lamb
likes less than having to tackle a
humdrum task. But finding a ere
ative way to do it can make all
the difference. A more exciting
time awaits you this weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Finishing up a job on time leaves
you free to enjoy your weekend
without any Taurean guilt pangs.
A romantic attitude frt>m an un-
likely source could take you by
surprise.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Moving in a new career direc-
tion might be seen by some as
risky. But if you have both the
confidence to see it through and
the facts to back you up, it could
prove rewarding.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Holding back on a decision
might be difficult, considering
how long you've waited for this
opportunity. But until you're able
to resolve all doubts, it could be
the wiser course to take.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
You still need to move care-
fully where financial matters are
concerned. Better for the Lion
to move slowly than pounce
on a "promising" prospect that
doesn't keep its promises.
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) A rejection of an idea you
believe in can be upsetting. But
don't let it discourage you. Get
yourself back on track and use
what you've learned from the
experience to try again.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) The early part of the
week could find you looking to
balance your priorities between
your family obligations and your
career responsibilities. Pressures
begin to ease by week's end.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 2 1 ) An asscK'iate's prob-
lem could cause unavoidable de-
lays in moving ahead with your
joint venture. If so. use the time
to l(xik into another project you
had previously set aside.
SA(;iTTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) Although a
financial problem could be very
close to being resolved in your
favor, it's still a gcxxl idea to
avoid unnecessary spending for
at least a little while longer.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Support for some
unwelcome workplace decisions
begins to show up, and continues
to build, so that by week's end,
the gregarious Goat is as popular
as ever.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Congratulations.
Deciding to attend a social func-
tion you might have earlier tried
to avoid could turn out to be
one of the best decisions you've
made in a long time.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Getting into a new situation
could prove to be a more difficult
experience than you expected.
Don't hesitate to ask for advice
in coping with some of the more
irksome challenges.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your
strong sense of duty makes you
a valued and trusted member of
your community. Have you con-
sidered a career in law enforce-
ment?

rial number. Possession of an electric stun gun, 3 counts of
unsecured fireanns accessible to minors and Possession of a
large capacity feeding device ( 1 5 round 9mm magazine) The
suspect, a 32 year old Quincy resident has been found guilty
on three separate occasions for Distribution of Class B and
Possession of Class B with the Intent to Distribute. As a re-
sult of this mcident,a51AChild Abuse report was filed with
the Department of Children and Families due to the sus-
pect's daughters (3 and 9 years old) being exposed to this
extremely dangerous situation.
RECENT SCAM: West Quincy resident John Chesna
notified me that he received a letter with an $18,000 check
from Ritchie Feed and Seed Inc. in Canada. He knew right
away that it was a scam based on the following; he didn't
recognize the company, he had no reason to believe that
someone would give him this money, it wasn't a lottery, the
envelope had a stamp on it rather than metered mail that
companies use, the date was not in the format required, the
paper was too thin and the signatures didn't look right.
Mr. Chesna then called the Ritchie company and they
confirmed that the check was bogus, that the check number
was issued to someone else and there were at least three
other similar incidents. The Ottawa Police are investigating
the incidents too.
This case was different though - in most cases, victims
are instructed to cash the check and send a portion back to
the scam artist. In this scam, there were no directions, so the
scammers weren't too bright! A few days later, the victim
learns that the check is bogus but, in good faith, has already
sent a money order back and is now out thousands of dol-
lars. The only reason this scam goes on is because there are
still enough victims out there!
J
ANOTHER SCAM: This incident occurred in the
Sumner Street area, with a male posing as a Department of
Public Works employee checking water pressure inside the
home. The elderly female allowed the male in and watched
him closely and after a short period, he left. The DPW con-
firmed that they did not have anyone checking water pres-
sure. This woman risked harm to herself as well as being
robbed. BEST ACTION:
Do not open the door. Call the Police. Let us check him
out. This will orotect vou and vour neighbors!

Community Group Also Recognizes Lt. Dan Minton; Elects Officers At Annual Meeting
Ward 5 Association Honors Memory Of Henry Bosworth
The Ward 5 Community
Association recently hon-
ored the memory of Henry
Bosworth as its Ward Five
Citizen of the Year for his
dedication to making the
City of Quincy a better place
to work, hve, and enjoy.
"Few people impact the
day to day life of a com-
munity." said Ward 5 As-
sociation President Richard
Gormley in presenting the
award.
"Even fewer accomplish
this in a quiet and unassum-
ing way. Henry Bosworth
did both during his lifetime.
Henry's love and pride of
Quincy was demonstrated
through his journalistic tal-
ents and his commitment to
the community."
Senator Michael Morris-
sey presented the Bosworth
family with a citation from
the Massachusetts" State
Senate. He applauded the
Ward 5 Committee for its
selection.
"Henry Bosworth was
a true community activist
who appreciated the neigh-
borhoods and their under-
takings, tirelessly promoted
community activism and
supported local civic groups
like the Ward 5 Associa-
tion." Morrissey said.
Representative Bruce
Ayers was unable to attend
the event because of State
House business. Ayers asked
the Ward ? Association to
present a citation from the
Massachu.setts House of
Representatives to the Bos-
worth family on his behalf.
"Henry Bosworth and
The Quincy Sun have helped
to chronicle and define the
Quincy we know and love",
said Ward 5 Councillor
Doug Gutro
"This deserving recogni-
tion as the Ward 5 Commu-
nity Association's Citizen of
the Year reflects the extent
to which Henry and the en-
tire Bosworth Family have
shaped our neighborhoods
and touched the lives of all
Quincy residents."
Lt. Dan Minton of the
Quincy Police Department
was the recipient of the
High Five Award for his
outstanding leadership and
contributions to the Ward 5
community and the city of
Quincy. Lt. Minton provides
quality safety awareness
programs to our residents
and is a mentor to the stu-
dents of Quincy.
Morrissey said. "Lt.
Danny Minton is an excel-
lent police officer who grew
up in Squantum and knows
the ins and outs of Quincy.
As a practical matter, his
deep understanding of the
town and its citizens allows
him to better serve the com-
munity.
Receiving the City of
Quincy Council award was
Nancy Barron, past presi-
dent of the Ward 5 Commu-
nity Association.
"Nancy Barron has long
served this city as an educa-
tor, administrator, and civic
leader," Gutro said.
"She is quick to contrib-
ute, and equally quick to de-
flect praise - but she surely
deserves it. It is a privilege
to recognize and congratu-
late her for her outstanding
efforts on behalf of our city,
our children, and our neigh-
borhoods." he added.
Elected to serve as the
2009-2010 Ward 5 Commu-
nity Association's officers
are:

ley

Cole
Treasurer: Liz Tucker

Redevelopment Plan Before City Council
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Few proposals have
sparked more excitement
across the city than the bil-
hon dollar plan proposed
by Street Works. LLC, of
White Plains, NY, to rein-
vent Quincy Center with
new business, housing and
green space.
Mayor Thomas Koch
told the City Council's Pub-
lic Hearing recently that
over 15(X) residents attend-
ed nearly a dozen neighbor-
hood meetings over the past
months.
"The people of our city
are more than ready to see a
downtown we can be proud
of," Koch said.
After Koch spoke, more
than a dozen business lead-
ers and residents whole-
heartedly endorsed the
renewal plan and spoke ea-
gerly of the city's future.
Now, Quincy Center's
redevelopment plan is in the
hands of City Councillors
who scheduled their first
review of revised renewal
plans beginning Tuesday
after The Quincy Sun dead-
line.
The Downtown Com-
mittee headed by Ward
I Councillor Leo Kelly
will consider the proposed
modifications as well as the
designation of Street Works.
LLC, of White Plains, NY
as Master Developer.
Councillors must of-
ficially approve the city's
master developer as well as
changes in financial details,
the redevelopment proposal,
and reductions in the park-
ing plan approved in the
original Urban Revitaliza-
tion Distnct Plan (URDP)
in2(X)7.
According to Planning
Director Dennis Harrington,
the revised plan reduces
parking spots in the area
from5,0(X)to4.(XX).
Once the council and
mayor sign off on a plan,
state officials will, also,
weigh in on conservation is-
sues, the developer, and re-
development plan changes.
StreetWorks partner
Richard Heapes recently
described changes that will
highlight Adams Green,
double the greenspace at
Clividen Street and day-
light Town Brook.
However, this plan, also,
includes the rerouting of
Town Brook which current-
ly runs under the Hancock
Parking Lot.
Under the revised plan,
developers in the renewal
area would apply for a Cer-
Uficate of Consistency, rath-
er than a Special Permit as
Koch Considers Noise Law Compromise
Mayor Thomas Koch said
Tuesday that he is exploring
a compromise or a potential
veto of an anti -noise ordi-
nance approved by the City
Council . that he said appears
to be "too watered down" to
have any practical impact.
Koch said his office
formally received the new
ordinance on Tuesday and
is now analyzing its provi-
sions, specifically a nar-
rowly approved amendment
that raised allowable noise
levels by 10-decibel points
over the original proposal.
"That is a dramatic
change, so much so that it
may make the law moot."
said Koch. "We are explor-
ing our options right now.
and perhaps there is a mid-
dle ground we can find. If
not, we will seriously con-
sider an outnght veto."
The original ordinance,
prt)pe)sed by Ward 6 City
Councillor Brian Mc-
Namee. included maximum
noise levels of 65-decibels
at night, but the amendment
raised that to 75-decibels.
The City Council approved
the amendment with a 5-4
vote and the full law unani-
mously.
The ordinance was sub-
mitted largely on behalf of
Manna Bay residents, whom
have repeatedly raised con-
cerns over the years about
noise generated by the near-
by bars and nightclubs m the
neighborhood.
Koch has two weeks to
act on the law. which was
ultimately approved unani-
mously by the City Council.
If he vetoes it. a two-thirds
vote of the City Council
would be required for an
override.
originally required.
Councillors must also
consider citizen input on
such matters as a shadow
ordinance affecting approv-
al of the taller buildings and
the requirement for afford
able housing or mitigation
funds
In Its report, the CAC
questioned the different
parking ratios set for leased
and owned housing, as well
as a section in the URDP
that sets parking standards
as a celling, rather than a
minimum.
As Master Developer,
Street Works would develop
the city's public parking
areas, the Ross Garage and
the Hancock Lot. through a
public private partnership
The two lots, currently
being appraised by Fos-
ter Appraisal Company of
Leominster, raise revenues
of $800,000 to $900 .OCX)
a year but those revenues
have been diminishing in
recent years as more busi-
ness and agencies, such as
the Massachusetts Registry
of Motor Vehicles, have left
the city.
Heapes said new busi-
nesses will be invited to
Quinc> Center but the small
businesses will be a major
factor and Hancock Street
will remain the major retail
distnct.

• On June 10, 1752,
Benjamin Franklin flies a
kite during a thunderstorm
and collects a charge in a
Leyden jar when the kite
is struck by lightning, en-
abling him to demonstrate
the electrical nature of light-
ning. He coined a number of
terms used today, including
"battery," "conductor" and
"electrician."
• On June 14, 1777, dur
ing the American Revolution,
the Continental Congress
adopts a resolution stating
that "the flag of the United
States be 13 alternate stripes
red and white" and that "the
Union be 13 stars, white in
a blue field, representing a
new Constellation."
• On June 9, 1934, Don
aid Duck makes his first film
appearance, in "The Wise
Little Hen," a short by Walt
Disney. Donald would go on
to become one of Disney's
most beloved characters.
• On June 8, 1945, Presi-
dent Harry Truman issues Ex-
ecutive Order 9568, permit-
ting the release of scientific
information from previously
top-secret World War II docu-
ments. The new classification
system was designed to help
transition wartime industries
to peacetime and create a ro-
bust post-war economy.
• On June 12, 1952, Mau
rice Olley, Chevrolet's chief
engineer, completes his chas-
sis, code-named Opel, which
would eventually become the
chassis for the 1953 Corvette.
The Corvette got its name
from an extensive search
through an English dictionary,
which found that a corvette
was a small-sized, speedy
warship of the Royal Navy.
•OnJunell,1963,Pres
ident John F. Kennedy issues
presidential proclamation
3542, forcing Alabama Gov.
George Wallace to comply
with federal court orders al-
lowing two black students
to register for the summer
session at the University of
Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
•On June 13, 1971, The
New York Times begins to
publish sections of the so-
called "Pentagon Papers,"
a top-secret Department of
Defense study of America's
involvement in the Vietnam
War. The papers indicated
that the American govern-
ment had been lying to its
people for years about the
Vietnam War, and their re-
lease seriously damaged
the credibility of America's
Cold War foreign policy.

For the second time in three weeks, a seat is opening
on the Quincy School Committee.
School Committeeman Nick Puleo told the Sun he
will not seek election to his school seat
this fall. Three weeks ago, it was Ron
Mariano who announced he too would
not be a candidate for
his school seat. Maria-
no, who is also a state
representative, said he
wanted to focus on his
duties and responsi-
bilities as the House assistant majority
leader as well as serving his House con-
stituents.
Puleo said he opted out of this fall's
election in order to pursue a master's degree from Boston
College.
"The opportunity to serve the students of Quincy Pub-
lic Schools and voters of Quincy has been an honor," said
the 26-year-old lifelong Quincy resident. "This decision
has been very difficult, but continuing my education is
the best decision right now for me and my family.
"1 value too much the mission of our school system
to enter into another term not knowing that I can commit
100 percent of my time and attention."
Early last year, Puleo was appointed to the School
Committee by a special joint convention of the City
Council and School Committee to fill the seat vacated by
former School Committeeman James Timmins after he
became city solicitor. Puleo finished fourth (first runner-
up) in the 2007 school committee final election.
Puleo, a 2001 graduate of Boston College High
School, will begin his studies at Boston College's new
School of Theology in September. He received a scholar-
ship to study ethics and the relationship between politics
and religion.
Since last October, Puleo has worked as the chief
of staff for state Sen. Stan Rosenberg of Amherst. Sen.
Rosenberg is the President Pro Tern of the state senate.
He did not rule out future political prospects. "I'm al-
ways interested in exploring new ways to serve my com-
munity," Puelo said. "I plan on staying involved. Who
knows what the future will hold."
With Mariano and Puleo out of the running, that leaves
incumbent Anne Mahoney as the sole
sitting School Committee member on
this fall's ballot. Voters will elect three
school committee members this fall.
Mahoney will officially launch her
bid for a second four-year term at a
"School's Out for Summer Re-election
Campaign Kick-Off' Thursday, June
18 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Best Western
Adams Inn, 29 Hancock St., North Quincy. Suggested
contribution is $35.
With two open school seats, it's anyone's guess how
many candidates will jump into the race.
As of Tuesday, three other candidates have taken out
nomination papers for School Committee. And all three
of them had announced their candidacies earlier this year.
They are:
• Karl Roos, age 41 , of 8 Park St. A graduate of the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst and Bentley
College, he works in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Matthew Lxx:kwood Mullaney, age 39, of 180 Glen-
dale Rd. A graduate of Harvard and MIT, he is a market
manager for Harvard Pilgrim's Massachusetts business.
• Rebecca McWilliams, age 26, of 24 Newcomb St.
A licensed architect, she is a graduate of Roger Williams
University and is enrolled in the Suffolk Law evening
division.
Some political observers are surprised more candi-
dates haven't expressed interest in running for School
Committee with Mariano's departure from the race. It
would be more bewildering if the field of candidates
doesn't swell now that Puleo is out, too.
"I'm surprised it's been this quiet in terms of the num-
ber of candidates for the fall election," said City Clerk
SHEA
MAHONEY
Joseph Shea. "But times have changed. The economy is
different and public service is becoming more and more
challenging in light of budget restraints.
There doesn't appear to be as much in-
terest in public service as there used to
be."
Shea pointed out that two years ago
there was no city preliminary election
for the first time in Quincy 's history.
But that could certainly change over
the next eight weeks. Nomination pa-
pers - with at least 50 signatures - must be submitted
to the city's Board of Registrars by Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 5
p.m. To have a preliminary election, there must be three
candidates for mayor, three for ward councillor, seven for
city councillor at-large and seven for school committee.
So far, the best chance of having a city preliminary
election may be for mayor. Incumbent Mayor Tom Koch
announced his re-election bid in May. Last week, former
incumbent William Phelan, who lost a bid for a fourth
term to Koch in 2007, declared his candidacy for mayor.
Phelan pulled nomination papers Tuesday afternoon.
And two other residents have taken out papers to run
for mayor: Christopher Clark, age 42, of 359 East Squan-
tum St.,and JosephO'Malley, 43,of 63 Island Rd.
There may also be a preliminary election in Ward 4.
Incumbent Jay Davis, age 43, of 33 Shawmut St. is seek-
ing is fourth term. Two challengers have pulled papers:
Michael O'Connell, 61 , of 35 Ridgewood Ln. and Brian
Palmucci, age 3 1 , of 138 Willard St.
In terms of the school race, Shea said he doubts the
field of candidates will approach the number running in
2005. That year, three open seats triggered a field of 12
candidates on the preliminary ballot. In the final, Mahon-
ey topped the ballot followed by Kevin Mulvey and Tim-
mins. Rounding out the fourth through six spots were Ce-
leste McGIone, Ronald lacobucci and Joseph Keegan.
In 2007, there were only five candidates for school
committee. The winners were: Jo-Ann Bragg, David Mc-
Carthy and Elaine Dwyer. Puleo was fourth and Eileen
Mullen fifth.
Puleo said he hopes more candidates join the school
committee race. "I think the more people who run for
the school committee seats the better. I would encourage
more people to run," he said.
Shea is also scratching his head over the apparent lack
of interest in the open Ward 1 council seat. Long-time
public servant and incumbent Leo Kelly is not seeking
re-election. So far, the opening has attracted just two
first-time candidates: Martin Aikens and Margaret Lafor-
est. Both have taken out nomination papers.
Aikens is chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals
and is a business manager for Local 103. Laforest is a
community activist and former president of the Houghs
Neck Community Council. Both candidates hail from
Houghs Neck.
There may be a third candidate entering the Ward 1
field. Joe Keegan of Merrymount, a former Quincy police
officer and now an attorney with a law office in Quincy
Center, told the Sun he is still considering a run for the
Ward 1 seat. If he tosses his hat into the ring, it would
be Keegan's second bid for Ward 1. In 2003, he chal-
lenged Kelly but lost by 268 votes (Kelly 1 ,901 , Keegan
1,633.)
So, it appears political opportunity is knocking in
Ward 1 and on the School Committee. But the question
remains: will anyone else answer?
G
THE FOLLOWING incumbents have also pulled pa-
pers as of Tuesday: Ward 3 Councillor Kevin Coughlin,
age 54, 19 Small St.; Mayor Thomas R Koch, 46, 249
Newbury Ave.; Councillor Joseph Finn, 53, 15 Williams
St.; Councillor Michael McFarland, 55, 140 Summit

ij
THIS POSTCARD was published in 1940 bv the South
Shore Buick Company to mark the opening of their
new building on Adams Street in Quincy Square. Sleek
looking new Buicks can be seen in the new showroom
windows. Founded in 1923, the company was in business
for 86 years when it closed in February. A message on
the back of the postcard claims that Buick outsold all
other automobiles except the three km est priced cars
at the time. They were Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth.
When South Shore Buick closed, Buick's market share
had slipped to 1% of VS. auto sales. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin(a verizon.net.

Gutro Seeks Inclusion Of
Dorothy Quincy Homestead
In Adams Historical Park
Cont 'd From Page 2
tions to the Adams heritage
is President John Quincy
Adams, himself, who was.
also, a Quincy descendant
as was Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
The homestead is cur-
rently owned by the Mas-
sachusetts Society of the
Colonial Dames of America
who are supporting efforts
to join the site to the Adams
National Historical Park, ac-
cording to Gutro.
During the American
Revolution, Quincy 's home
served as a meeting place for
such Amencan patriots as
John Adams, Josiah Quincy
and John Hancock who mar-
ried Dorothy Quincy.
In 2005, the house was
approved as a National His-
toric Landmark. Parts of the
house were built in 1685, in
1706 and, again in the mid-
1 8th century. As a result, the
architecture is a combina-
tion of Colonial, Georgian
and Victorian.
While the old homestead
has much historic value,
there are also reminders that
real people lived there.
In fact, John Hancock's
message to Dorothy Quin-
cy. "You 1 Love and You
Alone," remains scratched in
the glass of a window pane.
Legend has it that Hancock
wrote the message just be-
fore he fled to Lexington on
the eve of the Revolution.

Quincy Group Gets First-Hand View Of Street- Works Project
Com 'd From Fof^e I
million project completed
recently by Street- Works,
and to talk to West Hartford
business and municipal of-
ficials about the project and
the experience of working
with Street-Works, the com-
pany proposing a massive
renovation of Quincy cen-
ter.
"We felt it was impor-
tant to provide the oppor-
tunity for the Quincy busi-
ness community to kick
the tires, so to speak, of a
Street- Works project." said
Hdward Kcohane. president
of Quincy 2(KK) and owner
of Keohane Funeral & Cre-
mation Service. "I think it's
fair to say that people came
away very impressed."
The group began the day
at the Best Western Adams
Inn for a continental break-
fast hosted by inn president
Bob Galligan. After a send
off from Mayor Thomas
Koch, the group boarded the
bus for the 1 10-mile trip to
West Hartford. The group
disembarked at the giant
statue of Noah Webster, the
early American grammarian
and West Hartft)rd native,
where they were met by
Street- Works founding part-
ner Richard Heapes.
Heapes led the group,
which included city council
president Jay Davis, Ward
V councilor Douglas Cjutro.
planning board chairman
Bill Adams, and Adams Na-
tional Park Superintendent
Marianne Peak, through
Blue Back Square, point-
ing out design features that
Street-Works intends to in-
corporate into new Quincy
Center. The features in-
cluded 18 to 2{)-foot-wide
sidewalks, attractive public
and civic gathering spaces,
street-level retail shops and
restaurants. a mix of condos.
apartments and lofts, mature
trees and bright, well-lit
parking garages.
The Quincy contingent
also visited one of Blue
Back Square's office build-
ings, its wellness center and
its fitness club.
"What you're seeing
was designed for Blue Back
Square and for West Hart-
ford. We're not going to
take this and just plant it in
Quincy," Heapes told the
group. "Quincy is a different
city, with a different history,
a different population, a dif-
ferent downtown structure
and a different traffic dy-
namic. The Quincy design
will be unique to Quincy. but
will include some of the ele-
ments that have made Blue
Back Square such a success."
Street-Works purchased
its first piece of Blue Back
Square property in 2()01.
shortly after the 9/11 at-
tacks, fhe company began
construction in 2(K)6 and
hmshedin2O08. Blue Back
Square, which is about one-
fifth the size of Quincy Cen-
ter, has become a magnet for
shoppers, diners and resi-
dents, giving the area of vi-
brancy far different from the
abandoned car dealer lots
that once filled the space.
"What we wanted to dt)
here is create an area that
would work day and night,
all seasons, for all types of
A CROSS-SECTION of Quincy business people, residents and
city officials took a bus trip to West Hartford. CI last week to
tour Blue Back Square, an urban de>elopment project corn-
people, including residents,
visitors, workers, shoppers
and families. We wanted it
to be reflective of its history
while giving it a look and
feel that will stay consistent
with the times." Heapes told
the group.
Blue Back Square fea-
tures a mix of local and
national retailers, including
a Cheesecake Factory res-
taurant and a Crate & Bar-
rel homegoods store. It also
features a cinema, a public
gathering area where con-
certs and other civic activi
ties are held, and two park-
ing garages on either side of
the square, making accessi-
bility for residents, workers
and visitors easy.
The group gathered for
lunch in one of the cinema's
screening rooms, where they
were joined by Blue Back
Square marketing manager
Barbara Lerner and West
Hartford assistant city man-
ager Rob Rowlson. The
two fielded questions about
the design and permitting
process, the effort to attract
businesses into Blue Back
Square, and the experience

Did you see where there
were two recent fires, one
in the Fenway, and the
other in Roslindale? Both
began when candles were
left unattended. 60% of all
candle fires start that way.
Lit candles are too easy to
forget when one walks out
of a room or out of a house.
We've witnessed individuals
leave a house while candles
are left lit.
Fortunately, in these two
instances, occupants evacu-
ated both buildings safely.
LInfortunately. the 9 occu-
pants of the Fenway build-
ing will be without their
home until smoke and wa-
ter damage is corrected; the
Roslindale home sustained
$10(3.000 damage. Unat-
tended candles!
There's more to learn
from the Roslindale fire. A
7-year-old boy was awak-
ened by the sound of the
alarm within their unit. He
in turn responded by notify-
ing others within that same
apartment. He then proceed-
ed to the unit below, the first
floor apartment, waking his
uncle and grandfather and
alerting them of the fire,
all occupants, 5 in number,
safely evacuated.

Working, properly lo-
cated smoke detectors ap-
parently gave these occu-
pants the early notification
they needed to evacuate the
building safely. While the
child was directed toward
the first floor by his father,
he witnessed the fire ragmg
in the second floor kitchen.
There is typically very little
time to safely evacuate a lire
within a residence, which is
why it is essential to have
detection. Please test your
smoke detectors monthly,
and change the batteries if
applicable, yearly.
The other aspect of this
story that caught my eye was

The child escaped onto the

his blind grandfather. The

Brian Palmucxi, candi-
date for Ward 4 city council .
recently hosted a communi-
ty-wide drug awareness to-
rum at the Morrisette Amer-
ican Legion Post.
Palmucci, a former as-
sistant district attorney and
current state prosecutor, said
the goal of the event was to
inform parents on how to
recognize the signs that their
children are using drugs.
"As a prosecutor. I have
seen how drugs can destroy
a community." said Pal-
mucci. "Drug abuse and ad-
diction is a senous problem
that deserves our immediate
attention. If elected to the
City Council I will use my
law enforcement experience
to fight the city's growing
drug problem."
At the forum more than
20 city residents listened to
presentations from a vet-
eran law enforcement offi-
cer, parents whose children
suffer drug addiction, and a
drug abuse prevention spe-
cialist.
Recently retired Detec-
tive Lt. John F. McDonough
shared his experiences from
the nearly four decades he
spent dealing with the city's
drug dealers and addicts.
McDonough said the
city is not giving the police
department enough money
and resources to hght the
drug battle.
"People are dying in
Quincy, and what are they
worried about' They are
worried about the bottom
line," said McDonough.
"Other than homicide
and rape, what crime hurts
more people'" said Mc
Donough "Drug abuse af-
fects ever>()ne, from famil>
and friends and neighbors
and loved ones. Drug abuse
affects everyone.
"We have a war in At
ghanistan. we have a war
in Iraq, well we have a war
here too Its a drug war, and
people are dying. And our
pi)]iticians claim to repre-
sent us. but the\ dont seem
to be doing a ver\ good
job"
McDonough. who head-
ed the Quinc) Police De-
partment's Drug Control
I'nit before retiring earlier
this year, also offered sug-
gestions and advice for par-
ents on hou to prevent drug
■"( ontrol their time, con-

A Job Well Done
On luesday. June 2, 2(K)9. at approximately 2:15
am . Otticer A.J. C'arthas was on patrol southbound
on Hancock Street, directly
behnid Officer Matt Hockney
and as they approached the in-
tersection of Hancock Street
and Elm Avenue, a male
in front of Kentucky Fried
Chicken flagged them down.
The male's face was cov-
ered in blood, so Fallon am-
bulance was called. The of-
ficers interviewed the male
victim, who stated that he had
been "sucker punched" a few
streets awav. The officers
attempted to get further information but the victim ap-
peared reluctant, then said he was "not a snitch."
Fallon Ambulance EMTs' arrived and as they were
assisting the victim, he said. "%'^&* this, you want to
know what happened," then proceeded to tell the of-
ficers that he was at the Wollaston train station when
he was approached by an unknown male party who had
asked him if he wanted to buy a laptop computer. The
victim stated he was interested and they both went
over to the CVS located on Beale Street in order for the
victim to get some money. From there, they walked back
to St. Ann's Road, where the computer was.
The victim described the male as a "big guy.
an ex-football player," and that his name was alleged-
ly John. He said when they arrived at this location, an
argument began over the price and this was when the
suspect punched him in the eye and immediately tried to
take his money. The victim said that the suspect was un-
successful throughout the fight. The victim was trans-
ported to Quincy Medical Center to be treated for an ap-
parent eye injury that was going to require stitches.
The officers, along with Sergeant Gerald Connolly
went to St. Ann's Road in an attempt to get the other
side of the story. Once there, they saw lights on so they
knocked on the door and window for approximately
five minutes. The officers saw that there was a male
and a female moving around inside, and at one point the
female looked out the window directly at Officer Hock-
ney and still did not answer the door.
Moments later. Officer Carthas noticed the female
party sit in a chair and at a desk remove items which he
believed to be pills. At this time, a different male opened
the door and stated that he was working in the back of-
fice and did not hear anyone knocking. Once inside, the
officers asked the female why she didn't open the door
and she said she was nervous and left to get the other
male.
When asked why she would be nervous to open the
door for the Police, she did not respond. When asked
who else was in the building, the male said "John" was
in the back office. The officers knocked on that door and
a large male opened the door. He was led outside by
Officer Carthas and Sergeant Connolly and asked for
identification, but he said that he did not have it on him.
He then provided the officers with a name, but there
were no warrants. Officer Carthas asked the suspect why
he was locked in a back office after being seen sitting at a
desk in the front office and why he didn't open the door.
His answer was he was working in the back office.
Officer Carthas asked the suspect what happened at
the train station and he said "some kid overheard me
on my cell phone talking about a computer, and asked
me out of the blue if 1 had one for sale." The suspect
told the victim that he did and it was back at his work. A
price of $100 was agreed upon, so the victim and suspect
went to an ATM, then back to the suspect's office.
The suspect said that once they arrived at the office , the
victim "started acting weird, staring at the computer like
he was going to grab it and take off." The suspect learned
that the victim only had $70, not the $ KK) they agreed on, so
he grabbed the victim and "booted" him out of the office.
Officer Carthas questioned the female, who turned out to
be the suspect's girlfriend.
Her story was the same until she said that the vic-
tim "flipped out and started throwing things, including a
sandwich all over the office." The officers noted that the
office appeared to be in order with no signs of an alter-
cation. The girlfriend said there was no fight and that
"John just threw the kid out."
Officer Carthas then questioned the other male,
who said that he arrived at the office at 8:00 P.M. and
that there was no one else present besides the three
who worked there, and there was "definitely not a fight."

Jin Lem, the son of Judy
and Henry Lem, an Infor-
mation Technology student
from Quincy High School,
was recently recognized as
the Outstanding Vocational
Technical Student of the
year.
Jin is a straight A student,
with a 99% average in Infor-
mation Technology. He is a
member of the IT Advisory
Board, the National Honor
Society, and the Science Na-
tional Honor Society.
In addition to being the
Teacher Assistant for In-
formation Technology 1 ,
where Jin works alongside
his teacher preparing class
activities, Jin is invaluable
to the QHS Science Depart-
ment, where he trouble-
shoots computer problems.
During his junior year,
Jin interned at the Quincy
Rehab and Nursing Center,
where he instructed senior
citizens on computer activi-
ties. Because of his commit-
ment and professionalism,
he was offered an internship
this year at Quincy Medical
Center, where he acts as In-
formation Support Techni-
cian.
Jin is a four-year member
of the Quincy Public School
Robotics Team where he
works with Procter Gamble
and Gillette engineers and
mentors other students,
while performing his task
as the head electrical crew
member. He is also a four-
year member of the tennis
team, two years at the Var-
sity level, one of the start-
ing seven, playing second
doubles.
In the words of his Infor-
mation Technology teacher,
Ed Holmes , "I often must re-
mind myself that Jin is a stu-
dent and not a professional
IT colleague. If I teach for
50 more years, I don't know
how I could ever recom-
mend anyone more highly
than 1 recommend Jin for
this award."
Jin was recently honored
at the 23rd Annual Awards
Banquet at Mechanics Hall
in Worcester, along with 48
other students from all of
Massachusetts, being recog-
nized for that award. Jin at-
tended along with his family
and members of the Quincy
High School community.

Life Easier With Little Effort
Dollars
and Sen$e
by David Uffington
New Rules
Affect Your
Credit Score
If it's been a while since
you checked your credit and
FICO scores, you might have
some surprises in store. Fair
Isaac, also known as FICO,
recently changed its methtxi
of calculating credit scores.
Its new plan, FICO 08, is
said to offer a better way to
determine which consumers
will be unable to meet their
repayment obligations.
There are a few important
changes in the new scoring
system. "Authorized users"
are those who are allowed to
use credit cards of those with
a good credit history (such as
a working husband). That in-
formation has been reported
on the user's file (such as a
stay-at-home mother with no
credit of her own.) In the past
this has raised the scores of
those no-credit users. This
"piggy-backing" will no lon-
ger be used in a score's cal-
culation.
Another change in the
FICO scoring method con-
cerns payment patterns. If a
consumer has only made a
late payment in one area but
otherwise has a good record,
the credit score won't be af-
fected as much as it was be-
fore. At the same time, those
with a track record of being
late with payments will take a
bigger hit to the credit score.
If you apply for credit and
your FICO score is lower
than you expected, ask the
lender if the old FICO meth-
cxl was used or if it used the
new FICO 08.
If you're curious about
your current FICO score,
you can go online and use
MSN Money's Credit Score
Estimator, but don't expect
it to zero in on your actual
score. It gives a wide range
of likely scores, but at least
you'll know if you fall in the
590 area or if you're closer to
750 or higher.
Each year, we're allowed
by law one free credit report
from each of the three major
reporting agencies. To or-
der your free annual credit
reports, go to www.Annual-
CreditReport.com online or
call 1-877-322-8228. If you
chose the telephone method
of ordering your credit re-
ports, be patient. It's a fairly
lengthy process involving
speaking into the telephone
and pressing buttons.
Read about the free credit
reports on the Federal Trade
Commission's Web site at
www.ftc.gov/freereports.

scores, go to www.myfico.

(ARA) - With busy
schedules and lives con-
stantly on the go, it's easy to
be forgetful. But in today's
connected world, with a
little help from technology,
it is possible to accomplish
what you need to with bare-
ly a second thought.
There are a number of
techno-gadgets that you can
"set and forget" - from a
self-soap-dispensing dish-
washer to a digital shower
which lets you pre-set the
perfect temperature and
flow. Groundbreaking digital
products provide consumers
with convenient services for
every room in the house, al-
lowing you to focus on life's
important things
Living room
One of the best rooms to
begin "setting and forget-
ting" in is the living room.
Long gone are the days
when you needed a VCR
and a blank tape to record
TV programs you weren't
going to be home to watch.
With a digital video record-
er (DVR), it's nearly impos-
sible to miss your must-see
shows. This popular digital
technology - Nielsen re-
ports that 25 percent of U.S.
homes have at least one
DVR — lends an unprece-
dented amount of flexibility
to your home entertainment
schedule. Simply set your
favorite shows to record
whenever new episodes air
and you'll never miss out on

the action or jokes again.
Another technology
making life in your living
room easier is a VoIP (Voice
over Internet protocol)
home phone, which plugs
into your home's broadband
line, is interactive and offers
functionality similar to that
of a traditional cell phone.
The Hub from Verizon fea-
tures a 7-inch touch screen
which can sit on a table.
From it, you can view local
traffic information and send
and receive text, picture and
video messages. You can
even view TV schedules,
check the weather, play mu-
sic or upload your contacts
and calendars, making it
a one-stop-shop for all of
your home communication
needs.
Bathroom
Think technology for the
bath isn't possible? Think
again. In the past, tech-
nology made specifically
for the bathroom has been
somewhat lackluster, like
waterproof CD players for
the shower; or cumbersome,
like televisions built into the
tile for bathtime viewing.
Now, Moen is bringing in-
novative, easy-to-use digital
indulgences into the bath
with ioDIGITAL. This truly
unique digital showering and
bath system is like having
your own personal digital
"butler." You can program
your vertical spa to deliver
your personalized, precise
temperature and flow; turn
on your shower with a re-
mote from across the room
or while still in bed; or even
top off your bath with warm
water with the touch of a
button. Once you've found
your perfect combination,
you can save it as one of
your ioDIGITAL's pre-sets
and forget about fiddling
with the temperature every
time you step in the shower.
And the best part is that you
can do all of this as easily as
if you were programming a
car radio. It's that simple.
One of the greatest ad-
vantages of this technology
is the ability to program pre-
ferred settings into memory.
ioDIGITAL is "set and for-
get" technology at its fine.st,
with up to four different pre-
sets that can be easily pro-
grammed within seconds.
Every member of the family
can have their own unique
setting - from an invigo-
rating morning shower to
a relaxing evening escape,
and even the perfect bed-
time bath for the kids. With
intuitive controls and simple
operation, ioDIGITAL is as
easy as it is innovative, and
effortlessly transforms the
bathroom into the most tech-
savvy room in the house.
Kitchen
According to Iconocul-
ture, a leading cultural trend
research firm, consumers
still like to find the look
that's right for their space,
but their lifestyles and life
stages are dictating buying
decisions more frequently.
"Set and forget" technol-
ogy is a major factor when it
comes to making life easier
in the kitchen. The GE Pro-
file Dishwasher has Smart-
Dispense technology, which
holds up to two months'
worth of liquid dishwasher
detergent and automatically
dispenses the right amount
based on water hardness and
soil levels. Since it's pro-
grammed to start on its own,
the only thing you have to
worry about when it comes
to the dishes is whose turn it
is to put them away.
Make all of your appli-
ances smart by coordinating
your dishwasher with anoth-
er great option - the Frigid-
aire Professional Freestand-
ing Electric Range. This
smart stove features a delay
start option, perfect for "set-
fing and forgetting." You
can set your oven to begin
cooking on your schedule —
it can be programmed from
one to 24 hours in advance.
Another innovative feature
includes "My Favorite" set-
tings, allowing you to cook
family favorites like chick-
en nuggets and pizza with
the touch of a button.
Regardless of where you
incor|X)rate digital technol-
ogy, remember that these
user-friendly and conve-
nient options will help you
save time and start living a
worry-free digital life.

"Green" Tips
Can Save
Money, Too
1 read your col-
umn a couple
weeks~back about starting
an "eco- friendly" home.
I have some more tips for
your readers that are easy
to follow and can save mon-
ey too:
• For the refrigerator,
in addition to keeping the
coils underneath or in the
back clean, also clean the
rubber seals around the in-
side of the door so it closes
tightly.
• Move the refrigera-
tor a few inches away from
the wall so air circulates
around the condenser.
• When cooking on an
electric stove, just before
something is completely
cooked, turn off the burner
and let the residual heat do
the work,
• Don't keep opening
the oven door to check on
something that^s cooking, as
you'll release heat into the
kitchen, making your air
conditioner work harder. It
also changes the tempera-
ture inside the oven, which
means cooking results may
be unpredictable.
• If you have a dishwash-
er, only run it when it's full
to save water and energy.
Use the air-dry rather than
heat-dry setting. Also, don't
pre-rinse dishes; just scrape
them well.
• And of course, keep all
your appliances clean. They
will work more efficiently
and last longer, too.
I hope these tips will
help your readers. - Dale in
San Diego
A, These are great
• tips! Many of
these are things that most of
us already do, and we can
quickly adjust to add other
techniques such as scraping
instead of rinsing.
Cleaning the refrigerator
seals (and the dishwasher
seal while you're at it) should
be done with a mild soap and
water solution; scrubbing
could damage the seals. So,
if you have a stubborn bit of
gunk on the seal, soak it with
the soapy water for a few
minutes and try cleaning it
again.
HOME TIP: Make a
kitchen compost pail using an
old coffee can with a couple
of holes punched in the plas-
tic lid. Empty the pail into a
large backyard composter,
daily if jx)ssible.

Strapped For Cash? HVAC Solutions
Keep Costs Low And Comfort High
(ARA) - You may find
the economic climate less
than balmy right now, but
that doesn't mean the cli-
mate inside your home can't
be comfortable.
Like many Americans,
you're probably thinking
about ways you can reduce
your living expenses. Heat-
ing and cooling costs ac-
count for more than 40 per-
cent of the average home's
energy bill, so finding ways
to become more energy effi-
cient can save you real cash.
In fact, neariy two thirds
of respondents in a recent
Energy Awareness Month
survey cited reducing their
heating and cooling bills as
a top concern.
There are many ways to
improve the performance of
your home's heating, venti-
lation and air conditioning
system, even if you're on
a tight budget. Here are a
few:
Tip 1 . Take advantage of
tax credits by replacing old
appliances with ENERGY
STAR Qualified appliances.
One of the best ways to
improve home energy effi-
ciency is by replacing your
outdated air conditioner or
furnace, especially if it's
more than 10 to 15 years
old. Newer, more energy-
efficient models that are
ENERGY STAR qualified
are readily available and can
be up to 40 percent more
efficient. What's more, tax
credits will be issued to ho-
meowners who install EN-
ERGY STAR qualified ap-
pliances in 2009, offering a
dual cost-saving benefit for
you and your budget. The
more efficient your air con-
ditioner is, the more money
you can save annually.
When looking for effi-
cient appliances, consider
a model such as the Trane
XL20i communicating air
conditioner. Traditional sys-
tems usually deliver a Sea-
sonal Energy Efficiency Ra-
tio (SEER) of around 8. With
a system like the XL20i,
which has a SEER rating of
20, your family could save
up to 60 percent on your an-
nual energy bill, depending
on the type of equipment the
high-efficiency system is re-
placing. Of course, your ac-
tual energy savings will also
vary depending on factors
like your lifestyle, system
settings, maintenance, cli-
mate and installation.
In fall and winter, consid-
er upgrading with an XC95
furnace. With this product's
three stages of heat, you
can achieve an Annual Fuel
Utilization Efficiency rating
of up to 95 percent, which
means that up to 95 cents of
every dollar actually goes to
heating your home.
This is especially im-
portant when you consider
that the average household
will pay $2,300 this year on
energy costs, with heating
alone accounting for almost
45 percent of that total , ac-
cording to the Alliance to
Save Energy.
Tip 2. Consider automat-
ed technology so you can
have peace of mind that you
are taking control of your
own energy management.
Incorrect air flow and
improper refrigerant levels
within a heating and cooling
system are two of the big-
gest issues affecting home
energy efficiency. So when
shopping for new applianc-
es, consider those that will
eliminate these common
errors with automated sys-
tems to monitor those levels
for you
Manufacturers such as
Trane are making this possi-
ble with heating and cooling
systems that come complete
with communicating tech-
nology. Built-in interfaces
enable all communicating
components of a heating
and cooling system to be
automatically and properly
charged, configured and
calibrated to ensure hom-
eowners will always receive
the ultimate in reliability,
efficiency, comfort, conve-
nience and peace of mind.
Tip 3. Adjusting room
temf)erature by just a few
degrees will help yield big
savings in your household
budget this year.
You can save about 3
percent of your heating and
cooling costs for every de-
gree you lower your ther-
mostat in the winter, and for
every degree you raise your
thermostat in the summer.
Programmable thermo-
stats are another great op-
tion to maximize the perfor-
mance of your heating and
cooling system. Because
you can program these ther-
mostats to raise or lower the
temperature while you're
away from home, you save
energy while still maintain-
ing your standard of comfort.
In addition to this flexibility,
ENERGY STAR models can
also yield savings as high as
$ 11 5 per year.
If your heating and cool-
ing equipment is less than
15 years old, routine main-
tenance is an easy yet im-
portant step you can take to
ensure efficient heating and
cooling performance. Hav-
ing a professional perform
maintenance in the spring
and fall, before cooling
and heating seasons begin,
will increase the life of the
system, improve energy ef-
ficiency, reduce pollutants
and save you money.
Be sure you also contrib-
ute to your system's contin-
ued efficiency by cleaning
or replacing filters on sched-
ule, and by keeping outdoor
units clear of snow, ice and
other debris.

For Tne iVeeK
We learn the words to the "Pledge of
Allegiance" early in our lives. Yet many
Americans do not know the history of the
heritage of our flag . They are unaware that
the first Flag Day was in 1777. On June
14 of that year, the Continental Congress
SCOTT DEWARE passed a resolution, legally establishing
the "stars and stripes." As a young nation, our new flag proved
to be a symbol of .strength and victory. We all link the name of
Francis Scott Key and the then poem "The Star Spangled Banner."
Key was held prisoner aboard a British man-of-war in Baltimore
harbor during the war of 1812. The British were confident they
would capture the Fort before sunrise. All through the night with
the "rockets red glare" and bursting bombs the stars and stripes
held fast. The Americans had been victorious.
In some cases, one flag can have many histories. Did you know
that the same flag the flew over the U.S. Capitol in Washington
on Dec. 7, 1941 , at the beginning of World War II, was also flown
from the mast of the USS Missouri during the final Japanese sur-
render on Sept. 2, 1945?
Let us on June 14 taken time to remember our flag and be
proud of what it represents to all of us .. .

Cont 'd From Page 14
Officer Carthas was able to get this male to confirm that
the suspect's first name was actually John. The officers
were confident that the suspect was providing a fake first
name and they were able to support this by matching up the
height on the suspect's driver's license, which were com-
pletely different.
A further check provided the correct social security num-
ber of the suspect, showing that his first name was actu-
ally John and that he had five outstanding warrants, and his
height was 6-foot 6-inches at 270 lbs. This description did
match the suspect and he was placed under arrest and trans-
ported to the station by Officer Hockney.
The suspect, a 35 year old Worcester resident, was
charged with "Unarmed Robbery- attempt to steal victim's
money during their altercation, Failing to Register as a Sex
Offender, discovered during booking. Misleading a Po-
lice Officer- Providing false name and date of birth." He
also had a combination of five default and straight war-
rants.

Established in 2001,
Quincy *s Drug Court ini-
tially requires probationers
to periodically appear for
judicial reviews. They must
complete a 6-month inpa-
tient program, followed by
a minimum 3-month stay
at what is known as a Sober
House.
Among the many other
requirements of these can-
didates is frequent drug and
alcohol testing, attendance
of meetings, and participa-
tion in the Relapse Preven-
tion and Relationships in
Recovery Groups.
Probation Officer Jo
Rothman welcomed the
packed courtroom— gradu-
ates and family-members,
public officials, law en-
forcement personnel, judg-
es, past-graduates and oth-
ers who assist in addiction
recovery.
Mayor Thomas Koch
thanked the members of
Quincy s Drug Abuse Task
Force, and praised the grad-
uates, whom he "encour-
aged to continue to make
good choices."
He said, "If you are faith-
ful to your further studies, if
you are faithful to that job
and your colleagues, to your
family and to your values, if

2008 graduate Mary Ann
Burke addressed the gradu-
ates: "My life began the
day I graduated from this
program, and it got very,
very hard. Having the tools
that 1 have learned in this
program have made me be
able to stand up here today
and thank all you people for
everything you have given
me.
Norfolk County District
Attorney applauded the
Drug Court Commence-
ment, referring to it as "a
fundamental day in terms of
what the human spirit is all
about and the court acts as
a catalyst for great human
achievement."
Judge Diane Moriarty,
who presented the diplomas
and special awards of appre-
ciation, honored all of the
graduates of the program,
expressing her sincere re-
spect for their commitment
to Drug Court and to turning
their lives around.
Of the 24 graduates of the
Drug Court, each of the 13
who were able to attend the
ceremony spoke to the re-
sults of their Drug Court ex-
perience. Several had been
incarcerated at Framingham
State Prison.
Renee Foisy's recovery
recently lead to her regain-
ing custody of her 6-year-
old son. Graduate Michael
Powers expressed wonder
of his life now, because he
has a seven-month-old baby
and a driver's license!

sober for nearly two years,
said. "When 1 got here 1 was

Recently retired Proba-
tion Dept. employee Carol
Queeney received a special
recognition award for her
years of dedication to the
recovery community.
Judge Moriarty closed
the program with a quote fw"
the graduates:
"The future is not a re-
sult of choices among alter-
native paths that is offered
by the present, but a place
that is created. Created first
in the mind, in the will, cre-
ated next in activity. The
future is not someplace we
are going, but what we are
creating. ..paths are not to
be found, but made, and
the activity of making them
changes both the maker and
the destination."

Council Approves Purchase
Of7-AcreHoJo'sSite
Cont 'd From Page I
sold the property for a de-
velopment that impacted
destructively on the local
residents.
The HoJo's site was one
of nine projects recom-
mended as CPA projects this
year by the committee and
Mayor Thomas Koch.
Among the expenditures
is $40,000 for the second
round of restoration and
storage of city records.
Such restoration is essen-
tial, according to City Clerk
Joseph Shea who described
the success of a previous
preservation project with
CPA funds that saved vital
records .
Also selected as Historic
Preservation projects were
the following:
• $10,000 for a fence at
the Josiah Quincy House,
22 Muirhead St.
•$10,000, a ruins stabili-
zation study for Lyons Turn-
ing Mill.
• $75,000, the restoration
of Forbes Hill Water Stor-
age Tower.
• $5,000 for the repair
and restoration of damaged
headstones at the Sailor's
Home Cemetery.
In addition, the Com-
mission on the Family will
receive $25,000 for its tran-
sitional housing program
and $9,900 will cover park
improvement projects with
$3,500 designated for nature
trails through the uplands
adjacent to the Germantown
salt marsh and $6,400 for
the East Squantum Street
Beautification Project.
Prior to the council 's vote
on the funds, members sa-
luted Steve Perdios, Chair-
man of the committee and
the Quincy Environmental
Network.
According to Perdios 's
report to the mayor, local
preservation funds totaled
$1.25 million this year with
a state match of $761 ,415 in
October, 2008.
"This represents a 68%
match to our local Com-
munity Preservation Act
surcharge accrued in fiscal
year 2008," according to
Perdios.

2010 Census Complete
Count Committee
Local leaders joined
Mayor Thomas Koch this
week in a citywide effort by
forming a Complete Count
Committee (CCC) to en-
sure an accurate count of the
Quincy residents during the
2010 Census.
The Quincy CCC will
work with local community-
based groups and business
institutions to develop and
implement an outreach pro-
gram to create awareness of
and participation in the 2010
Census throughout Quincy.
"This is about our com-
munity, our city, our future.
This is why it is so impor-
tant for us to work together,"
Koch said.
He also emphasized the
importance of Census data
ensuring a fair distribution
of federal funds and politi-
cal representation to all cit-
ies and towns.
Other community-based
groups and organizations
in Quincy are encouraged
to join the citywide CCC to
help raise awareness about
the benefits of the Census
and the need for the resi-
dents to respond to the ques-
fionnaire they will receive in
March, 2010.
"This Complete Count
Committee is a volunteer
committee established by
the City of Quincy, where a
cross-section of representa-
tives is selected to develop
and implement a plan de-
signed to target the unique
characteristics of our com-
munity, with a specific fo-
cus on hard to count popu-
lations," said John Brothers,
Executive Director of Quin-
cy Asian Resources Inc, and
a member of the Quincy
CCC.
Brothers pointed out that
the Committee could also
educate the City's increas-
ingly diverse population
about the importance of be-
ing counted in the upcoming
Census.
Bruce Kaminski, Deputy
Regional Director of the
Boston Regional Census
Center, who attended Mon-
day's kick-off event at City
Hall and thanked Koch and
the City of Quincy for the
formation of the Commit-
tee:
"The Quincy CCC is
composed of influenfial rep-
resentatives who are trusted
voices in their respective
communities," Kaminski
said. "We appreciate their
efforts to inform the resi-
dents of Quincy that the
2010 Census is safe, easy
and important. These Com-
mittee members understand
the importance of an ac-
curate Census population
count which affects federal
funding for many programs
throughout the city as well
as for the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts congressio-
nal representation."

Council Will Revisit
Noise Ordinance Plan
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Ward 6 City Councillor
Brian McNamee Monday
revived debate on a pro-
posed anti-noise ordinance,
charging that an amendment
increasing allowable noise
level basically invalidated
it.
McNamee said no anti-
noise ordinance was bet-
ter than an ordinance with
no teeth in it as previously
passed by the council.
By the evening's end two
hours later, the council, ac-
tually, had no anti -noise or-
dinance.
However, councillors did
agree to hold a special meet-
ing on a revised proposal in
July after the amendments
to the ordinance have been
advertised.
McNamee sought chang-
es in the ordinance after
City Clerk Joseph Shea read
a letter from Mayor Thomas
Koch, indicating that he
would veto the original or-
dinance due to the high al-
lowable noise levels.
"He saw this as an op-
portunity to correct some-
thing that would cause
enforcement issues," said
McNamee.
Fellow councillors joined
McNamee, voting with him
for reconsideration by a
5-4 vote and, nearly, all the
votes and the entire debate
that followed would be that
close.
City Council President
Jay Davis was the swing
vote on several close issues.
McNamee, Ward 3 Coun-
cillors Kevin Coughlin,
Ward 3; Leo Kelly, Ward 1,
and John Keenan all focused
on decreasing the allowable
noise by ten decibels or by
re-wording the ordinance to
protect residents during late
evening hours.
McNamee said without
a noise ordinance, Marina
Bay would become "Lansd-
owne Street South."
Keenan proposed an
amendment which set a
65-decibel noise level from
7a.m. to 5 p.m.; a 60 decibel
count from 5 p.m. to II p.m.
and a 55 decibel count from
11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
In addition, the amend-
ment allowed only written
warnings and no fines for
violations for the first 9()
days of the ordinance.
During that period,
Keenan said the Noise Or-
dinance Committee could
study the results and file a
report.
McNamee noted that
Boston's law has a lower
decibel level than that al-
lowed under the original or-
dinance amended by Coun-
cillor Michael McFarland.

Coughlin Wins Mechanical Parking Ban
Arts On The Shore
Saturday At Wollaston Beach
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin won unanimous
support Monday for an ordi-
nance banning outdoor me-
chanical parking apparatus.
Coughlin said that me-
chanical parking equipment
was almost installed on
property on Hancock Street.
North Quincy, which would
have diminished the gate-
way to the city.
Mechanical parking ap-
paratus allows attendants
to stack up to three or four
vehicles on gates with au-
tomatic lifts and is used on
open parking lots.
One of the leading com-
panies of mechanical lifts
is Park Plus, Inc. of New
Jersey. The company be-
gan selling the high density
parking in 1969.
Coughlin's parking or-
dinance prohibits such ap-
BANNED IN QUINCY.
Mechanical parking lifts, such
as the one shown above, may
t>e installed in enclosed park-
ing lots but are prohibited
from being used in open air
lots under an ordinance filed
by Ward 3Councillor Kevin
Coughlin and approved by
the council this week.

The mechanical parking
ban was one of three park-
ing issues raised at Mon-
day's council meeting.
Planning Director Dennis
Harrington filed an amend-
ment to the center's rede-
velopment plan, which will
guarantee sufficient parking
for businesses and agen-
cies which currently use the
Hancock Parking lot.
Under the amendment,
the "master developer shall
provide adequate parking
to serve the patrons and us-
ers of the Hancock surface
parking facility."
Harrington credited Ward
2 Councillor Daniel Ray-
mondi with alerting plan-
ners to the issue.
At the same meeting. Cit>
Council President Jay Davis
asked public works Com-
missioner Larry Prendeville
to work on improving the
aesthetics of the Hancock
lot.
Davis asked that the grass
be mowed and the lot lines
be properly marked.

Happy Father's Day
Sunday is Father's Day. It also happens to be the
Summer Solstice, officially the start of summer
and the longest day of the year.
For me, it will be my first Father's Day without my
Dad. Inevitably this Sunday will be tinged with some
sadness. But I will also find solace filling the day with
loving thoughts of Henry and the cherished times we
spent together as father and son.
Before I go any further I want to thank the many
readers who have made wonderful comments about
my stories about Henry in this space. It has helped me
through this grieving process and years from now 1
will be happy that I decided to share some of those
reflections with our readers.
Hopefully this remembrance will not create any tears
like some other columns. Not the intent this week.
Instead, I want to share some upbeat and perhaps
amusing memories of time together as father and son
over the years.
I call them:
Henry and Bob - six moments a son will never for-
get.
No. 1. First game at Fenway Park.
My father took me to my first Red Sox game at Fen-
way Park back in the early 1970s when I was 9 or 10
years old. We had grandstand seats along third base.
The Texas Rangers were the opponent. Typical sum-
mer day. Kind of a forgettable game except for some-
thing that happened near us in the stands.
Behind us were two older men — well into their 70s
- seated a few seats and a row apart. One must have
been a fan of Billy Martin, the former Yankee player
and at the time manager for Texas. This guy was in
Yankee pinstripes head-to-toe. The other guy's in full
Red Sox regalia.
Henry looks over at them. He knows a storm is
brewing from the beers they're drinking.
Sure enough, a few innings later, they start fighting.
One guy has a bloody nose, the other a fat lip. Security
comes to break it up. More people are watching this
than the game it seems.
Welcome to Fenway, Bob.
My dad and I would take in many Red Sox games
in the ensuing years. He'd always spring for a hot dog
and soda and if I pestered him enough, some popcorn
sold in a mega-phone shaped cardboard container. Just
don't cheer in anyone's ear.
Regardless of a win or loss, it was always a victory
taking in a game at Fenway with your dad.
No. 2 Henry attends a Little League Game
Like a lot of kids, I played Little League baseball.
Most of the games were after school before it got dark,
or Saturday afternoons. Henry worked most of those
times and rarely had a chance to see me play. Except
one game when portable lights were set up at a field

behind Lakeside School in Braintree.
My team - Comer Electric - played Filene's - under
the lights. I was so excited because Henry could come
and watch the entire game. Perhaps too excited.
I struck out three times trying desperately to get a
hit for Henry.
After the game, Henry comes over to me and says
"Well, you played okay. But I think that bat you were
using was too short. You should have used a longer
one."
I don't think it was the bat . . . but I got the message.
Never quit. Get 'em next time.
3. First Time Fishing
When I was just a small boy, my Dad liked to take
me fishing. Some times it was on a friend's boat in
Quincy Bay. But the first time I cast a line was in Den-
nis Port while on vacation one summer. We went to the
bait shop and got some sea worms. Dad showed me
how to bait a hook.
Soon we were standing on a bridge over a salt-water
stream ready to catch something. I dropped my line,
waited for it to hit the water, then after it stopped I
slowly reeled it in a bit. Within seconds (really, this
is no joke) I felt some weight on the hook. My father
excitedly told me to keep reeling it in.
Next thing I know there's a fish dangling from the
end of my line. I take the line up and there on the end
of it is the first fish I ever caught. Not sure what it was.
But you know what? I didn't catch it in its mouth - I
caught near its eye. Pure luck the hook snagged the
fish.
I doubt we caught anything the rest of the day. But
that first fish was a pure Kodak moment.
4. Parents' Weekend At UNH
My father was a huge influence on my decision to
attend the University of New Hampshire. It was my
dad who met with my guidance counselor at Braintree
High School and went away thinking UNH would be
a good fit: not too big, great joumalism program and
close enough that I could come home for a weekend.
It was Henry who took the last application for UNH
available at Braintree High and handed it to me one
day after school. "Go and fill this out. I know you like
the school but you have to fill this out before it's too
late," he told me.
Sure enough, I took the application and put it on my
"to do" list.
Henry wasn't happy.
It was a Friday night and I had made plans to go out.
But I soon realized Henry was right: the application
came first.
I called my friends and said I couldn't go out. I had
to get something finished. So I locked myself in my
room and filled out the application. I soon realized
Henry was just trying to help me set priorities. And
before I could say "Let's Go Blue" my application was
finished.
During my college years in Durham, my folks al-
ways made it a point to visit for family weekend. We'd
sample the local fare on Main Street (the old Tin Pal-
ace was a favorite), ride around the campus and always
take in a sporting event. Mostly football but sometimes
a hockey game, too.
Both Mom and Dad were gamers - regardless of the
weather, they would sit and watch sports with me. Not
sure my mother really enjoyed going from the cold
football stands to the wooden hockey benches inside
Snively Arena within a matter of hours but we always
managed to make the most of our time together. They
did it forme.
5. Moving In Day at UNH
I moved into my first dorm in Durham on a hot,
muggy August afternoon in the summer of 1983. Talk
about being uncomfortable. Lugging boxes, bags, fur-
niture, clothing, small refrigerator, etc up four flights
of stairs (the elevator wasn't working) through a sea of
dazed and confused, deer in the headlights, why-am-I-
here freshmen.
We made countless trips from the family station
wagon parked well beyond the dorm into the residence
hall. I probably had two trips under my belt before I
started sweating profusely. Not exactly the image you
want to project to the freshmen women I might add.
So, after a few more trips, I decided to take a show-
er in the common bathroom and get into a change of
clothes.
Henry, of course, is fresh as a daisy. Cool, calm,
collected. I don't think I ever saw him sweat. That day
or ever. I'm told I got his penchant for the pen but
sweat glands . . . forget it.
After a few hours, I was all moved in. It was a tough
goodbye as any parent of college-bound kids can at-
test. But I made sure to call home often.
6. Starting at the Sun
I began working full-time at The Sun 22 years ago
this past May 25. It was the Tuesday after Memorial
Day weekend. And it's memorable for one thing: what
happened before I got to work.
As my father and I got ready to go to work together,
he called me into his office at home. He took out a piece
of paper and started scribbling numbers and notes on
it. We hadn't discussed starting salary yet (should have
done that my freshman year . . . could have changed
majors . . .just joking).
So, he slips the piece of paper to me and says,
"How's that to start?"
I look at it and wonder "is there a number miss-
ing?"
Not exactly what I was hoping for salary-wise but
better than nothing so I say "sure."
It's enough to help pay off the student loans and buy
my first new car.
But not enough to move out of the house and afford
rent somewhere else.
This was Henry's genius. Keep the son in the house
for a while. Soon I'm doing the yard work, cleaning
the pool, even making pizzas for dinner.
To be fair, Henry was always good to me when it
came to The Sun. More than good. Sure I was his only
son. But more so because I treated him like he was my
boss. I tried to show respect. I listened and learned.
And there are some things he did for me that I prob-
ably didn't appreciate as much as I should have.
But I know one thing: part of whom I am is because
of those cherished times together. Especially the 22
years I worked with him at the newspaper.
Happy Father's Day, Dad.
And thanks for everything.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1908 postcard view of the original Sacred
Heart Catholic Church that was on the corner of Han-
cock and Hunt Streets in North Quincy. This now the site
of a Hess gas station. Father Francis Frigugliette built
this building as a mission church of St. John's parish
where he was a curate in 1878; Archbishop Williams
consecrated it. Fr. Francis as he was known later became
pastor of St. John's and established two other mission
churches: St. Francis-by-the-Sea in Houghs Neck and St.
Francis of Assisi in Braintree. He also served as pastor of
St. Mary's Church in West Quincy. He was known and
revered as Quincy 's pastor for 32 years. Sacred Heart
became a separate parish in 1903 and in 1924 moved to
a new building located on the corner of Glover Avenue
and Hancock Street. This old church was demolished
in 1929 and the land was sold. To contact Tom Galvin,

A 'Thank You' From Quincy Youth Baseball To Granite Links
Quincy Youth Baseball
would like to thank and ac-
knowledge the tremendous
work by Brad MacDon-
ald and the Granite links
grounds crew this season
in maintaining the Quarry
Hills baseball fields.
Recently, heavy rains on
consecutive days threatened
the postponement of several
playoff games. Mr. Mac-
Donald and his crew were at
the fields early each morn-
ing working on the fields
and the games were played
as scheduled.
Their efforts may go
largely unnoticed but they
are greatly appreciated by
over 600 Quincy Youth
Baseball players who use
these fields. Thank you
again to Brad MacDonald
and the Granite Links team
for providing the kids with
a baseball facility that they
deserve.

Cat Nip Toy Sale Proceeds Benefit Quincy Animal Shelter
At the Spring Fair, spon-
sored by St. Chrysostom's
Episcopal Parish on June 13,
attendees were remarkably
attracted to the Catnip-in-
a-Bag Cat Toys on sale for
"just 50 cents each." One
woman bought a basket full
of the bags for Christmas
gifts and, by late afternoon,
few bags remained unsold.
Several parish members
worked together to create
the cat toys and packaged
each one with a tiny fact
sheet about catnip. Among
the interesting facts fea-
tured: About 10 to 30% of
cats and even more kittens
do not like catnip. A pinch
of catnip on a new scratcher
can entice the cat to use the
object as a scratching site
that all cats should have.
Cat toy sale proceeds
benefit the Quincy Animal
Shelter at 40 Broad Street
where many wonderful kit-
tens-and other animals-are
now waiting for adoption
into a suitable, caring home.

Don's Easy Chicken Casserole
Don McMullen. one of my faithful read-
ers who loves to cook, recently sent me some
of his favorite recipes.
Today's recipe is a very different chicken
dish, which he calls easy chicken casserole,
and can be prepared ahead of time. 1 almost
never use any kind of dried soups, but it
works in this dish.
EASY CHICKEN CASSEROLE
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
(cut bite sized)
3 cups baby carrots
3 potatoes (peeled-optional and sliced)
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
6 ounces of soda-any flavor (Don used
lemon-lime)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slightly grease or spray a casserole dish.
Start the process by layering some of the po-
tato, chicken and carrots. Sprinkle with some
of the dry onion soup and keep repeating
until all of the ingredients are used, ending
it with a layer of potato, and sprinkled with
dry soup mix.
When this is all done, pour the soda down
the sides, not over the ingredients. Cover
tightly and cook for 2 hours or until potatoes

Insurance
STRATEGIES
by Jim Sullivan
LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR BUSINESSES
Business owners must protect
their companies form lawsuits that
are tiled against them by their cli-
ents. Liability is the legal responsi-
bility for damage to another party's
person or propert>, and because
accidents or injuries are difficult to
predict and damage awards have the
potential to be quite large, liability
insurance is likely to be the most
important coverage for an> busi-
ness. In today's litigious climate.
It's quite possible for a judgment
to bankrupt or at least disrupt, any
business without sufficient liability
coverage. General liability insur-
ance, which protects companies
against a wide range of exposures
can be purchased separately or as
part of a busmess owner's policy.
Businesses that need more cover-
age generally purchase liability in-
surance as a separate policy.
If you own a business, your
days are filled with phone calls,
meetings, and decisions. Spend
time operating and growing your
business, not worrying about law-
suits. Please call JAMES J. SIJL
LIVAN INSURANCE AGENCY
at 61 7-328-8600 to schedule a con
sulfation. We offer a full range of
business coverage, including gen-
eral liabilit), commercial property,
and commercial excess liability.
Our staff provides competitively
priced proposals for your consider-
ation and fast, courteous, efficient
service and claim priKessing. We
are located at 151 HanccKk Street.
Note: In anticipation of a dam
age award that exceeds the limits of
their liahilitv loverane. companies
may purchase umbrella liability
insurance, which picks up where
general liahiliiy coverage ends.

Ward 4 Councillor Jay
Davis will host a neighbor
ho(xl meeting regarding the
request of Home Depot to
change the operating hours
for its Willard Street store in
West Quincy.
The meeting will take
place Tuesday. June 23 at
6:30 p.m. in the second floor
conference room. City Hall.
According to Davis, a
neighbor called told him the
store was opening at 6 a.m.
The councillor also said he
went to the store at 6: 30 a m .
one morning and purchased
an item "so 1 would have the
receipt time stamped."'
Davis requested a pre-
liminary meeting with rep-
resentatives from the Home
Depot regarding the Wil-
lard Street store's opening
hours.
Home Depot has been
operating on Willard Street
since 1991 when the City
Council permitted the store
b) special permit At that
time, the store's operating
hours were Monday through
Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 9 p m
and Sundays noon to 5 p.m
Home Depot has asked
the hours of operation be ex-
tended to Mf)nda> through
Saturday from 6am to 10
p.m. and Sundays 8 am to
8 p.m.
In the past when the store
has changed hours of opera-
tion. It did so by informing
the Licensing Board I he
store's hours of operation
have been changed, and the
Council was never informed
or acted upon the changes,
Davis said.
Davis also said he re-
viewed the 1991 special
permit for the store and dis-
covered the permit directed
store hours to be regulated
by the City Council
■'I have no reason to be-
lieve that the Home Depot
intentionally tried to bypass
the Council." Davis said ""I
think it was simply a matter
of the store management not
being aware of the require-
ments of the permit "
Ihe meeting will allow
neighbors the opportunity
to meet with representatives
from Home Depot, to dis-
cuss the proposed changes
and how to handle any fu-
ture requests to change the
hours of operation
For more information
about the meeting, contact
Davis at 617-834-3945

Priorities
My priority has always been my family and the families of Quincy as
we prepare our children to travel down their individual paths. Next
year, I will have children at every level of the public schools. I know
the pressures families face, and this understanding has shaped my
perspective on the School Committee. My opinion has always been
"a city is known by the schools it keeps. Great schools attract great
people!" I have never been afraid to ask questions of any administration,
and I never will. During most of my term we have made great strides,
increasing funding for needed programs and updating outdated
buildings. But recently, due to the economy, we have had to cut
programs. I believe with your support, we can maintain the focus on
the quality of our schools which only enhance the quality of life in
this great city.

the City's investment in bi-
cycle racks installed on pub-
lic property.
"The MAPC Regional
Bike Parking Program pres-
ents a tremendous opportu-
nity for Quincy to address
the bike parking shortage at
very little cost," said Har-
rington.
According to the MAPC's
2007 Regional Bicycle Plan,
bicycling is a sensible mode
of transportation in the Bos-
ton region. Regional surveys
conducted by the MAPC
indicate that one of the bar-
riers to bicycle travel is the
lack of secure, safe parking
accommodations.

community centers, libraries
and city offices. This inven-
tory entailed taking pictures
of each site, which yielded
useful information about
existing bicycle accommo-
dations throughout the City.
"Planning staff found
that adequate bicycle park-
ing is lacking in many of the
City's key public places,"
Harrington said. "To en-
courage bicycle travel to
and from our civic space, we
need better, more accessible
bicycle parkmg accommo-
dations."
The plan to order 42 new
racks has been reviewed
carefully by the DPW, the

and Quincy 2000. The
racks should be installed by

Councillors Bid Farewell
To QATV Producer Liz Clancy
City councillors recently
bid QATV producer Liz
Clancy a fond farewell after
saluting her for outstand-
ing work as a producer and
television host on Quincy 's
local television station.
Clancy married Navy
Seal Allen Lemer June 6 at
the Bradley Estates, Canton,
and will live temporarily in
Virginia. She will pursue her
graduate degree next fall.
In honoring Clancy, Ward
3 City Councillor Kevin
Coughlin said, "Liz an-
swered the question. What
is good journalism?'"
Clancy and Public Access
Coordinator Jon Caliri won
national honors for their
QATV production, "This Is
Taiwan."
Clancy, also, produced
or helped produce such
programs as "The Vietnam
Ward," and "Quincy In Fo-
cus." She was well known
as host of "Currently in
Quincy."

ceives her City Council commendation from Ward 3 Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin. iMura Griffin Photo
"You will be sorely grams produced with Clan-
missed," said Coughlin cy and her contributions to
while Councillors Michael Quincy in her five years at
McFarland and Doug Gutro,
Ward 5, said the welcome
mat is always down in
Quincy.
Also, on hand for the
ceremony was Bette Camp-
bell, Executive Director of
QATV.
After the meeting, Camp-
bell cited the numerous pro-
QATV.
"Her stories on the envi-
ronment, Vietnam, and 'This
is Taiwan' are examples,"
Campbell said.
Gutro said he expects to
hear more of Clancy's work
in the future. You'll do great
things if you stay in the
business."
Council Will Revisit
Noise Ordinance Plan
Cant 'd From Paf^e 3
Councillor Joseph Finn
asked whether the reduced
decibel level would make
it 'difficult for commer-
cial interests to function."
He cited his own amateur
noise experiment to indicate
the proposed decibel levels
were too low.
Finn cited decibel levels
as high as 85 in the daytime
and 75 in the evening in an
ordinance covering Freder-
icksburg, TX.
"We need data and we
need it quickly," said Ward 5
Councillor Douglas Gutro,
Keenan's amendment
passed but than was reject-
ed by City Solicitor James
Timmins who said it would
have to be advertised.
Timmins ruled after
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi questioned the
legality of the change in the
amendment.
The City Council's three
lawyers then battled it out.
At one point, Keenan,
an attorney, charged Ray-
mondi, another attorney,
with railroading the debate
by focusing on the process
details.
"When you can't win
with substance, turn to pro-
cess," Keenan said.
Keenan then challenged
a ruling by City Council
President Jay Davis, another
lawyer, but lost the council
vote on the issue.
Near the debate's end.
City Solicitor James Tim-
mins issued his opinion
and, basically, nullified the
council's vote and the new
amendment by ruling that
the changes in the council's
revised ordinance required
new public notice and ad-
vertising.

Cont 'd From Page I
This year, councillors are
not only dealing with re-
duced or level-funded bud-
gets, but, have, also, been
handicapped by the uncer-
tainty of the state's local aid
plan.
Chris Walker, Koch's
Director of Policy, said
Fuesday there has been no
new information from Bea-
con Hill on local aid which
leaves uncertainty.
Koch's budget antici-
pates a 15% or $7 million
reduction in local aid, but
that may not be sufficient.
Neither the governor, the
state senate nor the House
of Representatives have rec-
onciled one state budget.
As one example, the po-
lice department budget in-
cludes a $2.9 million Quinn
Bill item for education cred-
its which would normally be
reimbursed by 50% from the
state.
However, legislators are
now debating the Quinn Bill
benefits and costs.
If the state rejects the
Quinn Bill reimbursement,
the city will be responsible
for the total $2 million tab,
according to Walker.
DeCristofaro, Barron and
Police Chief Paul Keenan
were among nearly two
dozen officials who met last
week with the Finance Com-
mittee, many for the second
time in six weeks.
While most departments
are dealing with shifts in
programs and some cuts in
staff, several departments
had some good news.
Tom Clasby, Director of
the Council on Aging, re-
ported that his department
has already moved into the
new Kennedy Senior Center
and will begin offering pro-
grams in two weeks.
"We are compiling a list
of volunteers." Clasby said
of plans to offer new pro-
grams at the center without
new staff.
In the City Clerk's office,
the hikes in fees are increas-
ing revenues and a retire-
ment will cut the salary line,
according to Clerk Joseph
Shea who did warn council-
lors that, eventually, the city
must purchase new election
machmes.
"It's coming down the
pike very soon," said Shea
who said of the city's ma-
chines, "They don't make
them any more."
Chuck Phelan, Director
of Information Technology,
(IT) described plans for an
enhanced city web site in
July which will make agen-
das and mmutes available to
residents on the web,
Phelan said his depart-
ment has cut city phone bills
by $8,()(X) a month and the
city is refurbishing comput-
ers donated by such com-
panies as Boston Financial
Data Services (BFDS).
The IT budget for 20 10 is
$2,005,638, down $200,000
from the current budget.
The education, police
and fire department budgets
account for over 53% of the
2010 budget.
IG To Tour 3 School Buildings
Inspector General Greg-
ory Sullivan will tour three
Quincy Public Schools to re-
view the boiler installations
conducted under the 2007
Honeywell energy program
that cost taxpayers four-to-
five times more than stan-
dard prices. Mayor Thomas
Koch announced Tuesday.
"After our meeting last
week, I received a request
from Inspector General Sul-
livan for a tour of Atherton
Hough, Merrymount and
Broadmeadows schools,"
Koch said. "We have ar-
ranged to have city person-
nel available to meet with,
and tour, each of the three
buildings with the Inspector
General's team on Thursday
of this week."
The Koch administra-
tion's ongoing review of the
Honeywell deal uncovered
the fact that the city paid
over $8.5 million dollars for
the installation of boilers in
seven schools. At an aver-
age cost of over $1 million
per school, Quincy paid an
exorbitant amount of mon-
ey for boiler replacements,
Koch said.
Officials reviewed con-
tract awards for boiler re-
placements around the state,
through the Central Register
and found the lowest price
at $84,642 and the highest at
$347,000, Koch said. Most
were priced in the $150,000
to $200,000 range, he said.
Most egregious, Koch
said, was the disclosure
in the Honeywell contract
that the $1 million payback
to the City through energy
savings achieved with the
new Atherton Hough boiler
would take 127 years.
"It is outrageous. How
this contract could have
been signed, and the touted
to the taxpayers as cost-
ing nothing, is beyond my
comprehension," Koch said.
"We are committed to mak-
ing Quincy whole, and pro-
tecting our taxpayers from
what happened here."
According to Koch, if
the city had simply bid
each boiler job through the
Central Register, the city
would have saved millions
of dollars, and still achieved
a measure of energy man-
agement savings that met.
or exceeded, the 127-year
payback that Honeywell
promised.
He stated that the Inspec-
tor General was particularly
concerned with the schools
he will be visiting due to the
cost of the boiler replace-
ments, and the savings re-
capture period.
"He wants to see for him-
self what the city paid mil-
lions for," Koch.
Koch and Honeywell of-
ficials are in the process of
scheduling a meeting, ex-
pected to occur next week.
In the meantime, the Inspec-
tor General's independent
review is continuing.

A brief description of
changes in those three bud
gets follows.
Education
DeCristofaro and Busi-
ness Manager James Mul-
laney. 111, presented the
school department's pro-
posed $89,9 million for
2010.
This budget represents a
six percent or $5.5 million
increase over the current
education budget of $84.4
million.
Despite an influx of $4
million in federal stimulus
funds, the department bud-
get lists a shortfall of over
$1 million due to such fac-
tors as $4,738,620 in "nego-
tiated increases net of break-
age." an additional $620 .(KK)
increase in special education
tuitions and a $218.(XK) in-
crease in utility costs.
Koch's budget desig-
nates $81,083,562 while the
school department describes
$82,122350 as the funds
"needed from the City of
Quincy after adjustments."
Due to this shortfall, the
school department has an-
nounced layoffs of teachers
and staff, curriculum cuts,
athletic fees, reduced busing
and increased lunch costs.
Ten academic programs
and nine support staff will
be cut as will a total of 9.8
teaching positions, which
includes 1 .5 Literacy teach-
ers. 2 Health teachers, two
Media teachers, one art
and one music teacher and
8/10's of a Physical Educa-
tion teacher.
The department's enroll-
ment has remained fairl\
steady over the past 10
years and is currently listed
at 8.662 students.
Fire Department
Acting Fire Chief Joseph
Barron anticipated five re-
tirements when he original-
ly presented his 2010 budget
to the Finance Committee in
May.
Last week. Barron said
those retirements did not
matenalize and the budget
now details four layoffs,
two firefighters and two ci-
vilian positions
Barron, also, announced
Ladder 2 in Wollaston will
be out of service Julv and
August in an effort to pro-
tect overtime funds
"1 felt It was the most
prudent (choice)." Barron
said in response to Ward 5
Councillor Douglas Cjutro
who questioned the move
and Its "potential impact
on my district and (Ward 3
Councillor Kevin) Cough-
lin's."
Councillors questioned
the wisdom of hiring five
new firefighters in 2(K)9 and
the creation of a captain's
position.
Barron said he wouldn't
have hired the firefighters if
he'd known the officers did
not plan to retire
I'nder the current plan,
three lieutenant positions,
one firefighter position, one
signal maintenance position
and one bookkeeper posi-
tion will not be funded
Persons with the most
senionty will drop into open
positions
However, tour of the five
new firefighters have senior-
ity rights due to such expe-
rience as the militar) Ihev
will keep their jobs and
bump firefighters with more
senioritv in the Quincv de-
partment
The 2t)10 proposed bud-
get designate $18 4 million
for the department in con-
trast to the 2(K)9 budget of
$18 6 million
Police Department
fhe police depart
ment has been budgeted
for $21.596.9P. a slight
hike over the current
budget of $21,306.8^4
I'nder the current plan.
Chief Paul Keenan will not
fill three lieutenant posi
tions. one sergeant position
and 10 patrol officer posi-
tions
However, both the po-
lice and fire departments
ma> benefit from federal
stimulus programs, but the
funding has not yd been ap-
proved
I'nder those programs.
the stimulus funds will pa\

cers for three years with the

Summer Safety Review
Here's a quick review of
some summer safety con-
siderations. These warmer
months reintroduce us to
outdoor activities while we
emerge from our spring and
winter hibernation indoors.
Meanwhile outdoor living
requires its own specific
safety considerations, which
I'd like to touch upon here
with you. Summer activi-
ties afford their own unique
challenges and pleasures
while a little forethought
can make for safer summer
season.
Yes the lawn will need
attention again and you'll
more than likely be cutting it
with a gas mower. Consider
fueling the mower prior to
use, checking the fuel level
before the engine gets hot.
Avoid fueling a hot mower
engine when fumes can ig-
nite too easily. Keep hands
and feet away from below
the cutting deck while the
mower is running.
Keep gasoline in ap-
proved safety cans; place
them on the ground when
filling them at a gas station
F
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevention Bureau
Quincy Fire Department
and leave room for expan-
sion. Gasoline is pumped out
of the underground storage
tanks in a cooler state than
when stored within summer
atmospheric temperatures.
Thus it expands as the tem-
perature rises. Expansion
can lead to spills, a poten-
tial hazard, while vapors are
highly volatile and can be
easily ignited by a match,
spark, excessive heat or a
cigarette. Meanwhile store
gasoline outdoors, in a shed
or within a garage while
avoiding storage within
your home altogether.
Be mindful that while
swimming and water sports
afford great recreational
moments, water must be
respected. When in, on, or
around the water, remind
yourselves of the respect
it demands. At pools and
beaches keep close tabs
on children and marginal
swimmers. With 27 miles of
coastline, we all must main-
tain some level of water
safety awareness.
Think REACH,THROW,
ROW & GO should some-
one need assistance in the
water. Extend a pole, rope
or branch to someone strug-
gling in the water while us-
ing any lengthy object to
extend assistance to some-
one in need. Throw a buoy-
ant object like a life ring,
personal flotation device or
any object that will assist
the individual remain at the
surface. Row out to the indi-
vidual to offer assistance if
a boat is available. Your last
option should be to assist a
struggling individual while
you yourself are in the water
where a panicked individual
can negate your best efforts.
You cannot help that indi-
vidual if you become part
of the problem and a victim
yourself. You must maintain
control to effectively assist
another.
When boating, have
ample personal flotation de-
vices on board. Have every
safety feature readily ac-
cessible as required by the
Coast Guard for your size
craft. As statistics indicate,
alcohol use and boating can
lead to disastrous outcomes.
Relax with caution, while
meeting this summer's de-
mands and enjoying its gifts
as fully and safely as you
can. A little thought towards
safety can assist you in this
effort. Thank you for doing
so.
MWRA Mails Annual Water Quality Report
The Massachusetts Wa-
ter Resource Authority
(MWRA) has begun mail-
ing its Annual Water Quality
Report to every household
in its service area.
The report is required by
the federal Safe Drinking
Water Act and updates con-
sumers on last year's water
quality test results.
The MWRA and the lo-
cal water departments test
thousands of samples each
week. The results for 2008
are excellent; for the 120
contaminants tested for, ev-
ery standard was met.
The MWRA has confi-
dence in the water delivered
to your home and wants
residents to have the same
confidence.
"Your tap water is one of
the best values around," said
MWRA executive director
Fred Laskey. "For less than
about a penny a gallon, you
receive some of the cleanest,
best tasfing drinking water
in the country."
In the latest round of test-
ing, the MWRA system was
again below the Lead Action
Level with the lowest levels
ever. Recent tests have also
shown that there are no trac-
es of pharmaceuticals in the
drinking water supplied by
the MWRA.
The MWRA distributes
the report to over 800,000
homes in 40 cities and
towns. Community-specific
interests also provide infor-
mation about municipal wa-
ter systems. The reports are
being mailed between now
and the end of June.

ARCH PAIN
The most common cause
for arch pain stems from
structural imbalances of the
foot, bit it can also be due
to the strain of any structure
in the arch of the foot. Strain
of one of the structures in
the arch is often not enough
to cause the problem, but in
combination with other fac-
tors, arch pain may develop.
Other factors related to arch
pain are associated with over-
use or running and/or walking
on hard surfaces. Wearing
inadequate or non-supportive
footwear can also cause this
problem. Arch pain is often
felt as a burning sensation un-
der the long arch of the foot.
An accurate diagnosis early
on by a podiatrist is impor-
tant in managing arch pain.
Pain may be one of the first
and obvious signs of a foot
condition, but It doesn't always
reveal the exact cause of the
problem. The best way to de-
termine the cause, location,
and senousness of foot pain
is to have a podiathc evalu-
ation, including medical his-
tory, examination, and tests.
And once a problem like arch
pain is addressed, complete
instructions for follow-up care
and prevention are also an
integral part of any treatment
plan. Call us, 781-986-3668,
for an appointment at QUIN-
CY MEDICAL CENTER. Of-
fice hours are also available
at 999 North Main St., in the
Randolph Medical Office
Building, and Milton Medical
Building in Suite 221 . 1 am af-
filiated with the Brockton and
Good Samaritan Hospitals.
P.S. The initial treatment
for arch pain is using ice to
reduce the swelling.

Phelan Asks Koch To Sign
'Fair Campaign Practices Pledge'
Anne Mulligan Mahoney To Kick-Off
Re-EIection Bid For School Committee Tonight
Former Mayor William
Phelan has challenged in-
cumbent Mayor Tom Koch
to join him in signing "Fair
Campaign Practices Pledge"
in an effort, according to
Phelan, to "end the mud-
slinging and ensure this
campaign is not about per-
sonal attacks or dishonest
antics."
Phelan hand delivered a
letter to Koch's office last
week urging him to sign
the pledge and "let all your
supporters know we want a
clean election."
In his letter to Koch.
Phelan stated "I have a re-
cord, and you have a record,
and that's what we should
be talking about.
"The people of Quincy
deserve a spirited, truthful
discussion of our respective
records, and our visions for
the future. It is time to end
the old politics of character
assassination and mudsling-
ing," Phelan also wrote.
Responding to the pledge,
Koch said: "My values have
been instilled in me, and
they can't be derived from a
piece of paper.
"We took the high road
two years ago, and stuck to
the issues and we will do the
same thing this year."
The pledge, which Phel-
an signed, is based on the
20()8 State of Utah Pledge
of Fair Campaign Practices.
In it, candidates promise to
campaign openly and hon-
estly, to avoid slanderous
attacks on other candidates
and their families, to stick
to the issues, and to instruct
their supporters to do the
same."
Laforest To Attend 'White House Project'
Training For Women Candidates
Ward One City Council
candidate Margaret Laforest
has been awarded a full
scholarship to attend The
White House Project's Go
Run! candidate training pro-
gram, to be held June 19-21
in Minnesota.
Laforest will join with
80 other women in trai-
ning sessions aimed at
teaching the basics of run-
ning a political campaign,
from organizing volunteers
and fundraising to commu-
nicating effectively with vo-
ters. Founded by Marie Wil-
son - the co-founder of Take
Our Daughters to Work Day
- The White House Project
is a national, non-partisan
non-profit organization de-
dicated to helping women
participate more fully in the
democratic process by trai-
ning them to run for office.
"1 am honored to be se-
lected and awarded a scho-
larship from The White
House Project," Laforest
said. "While I have been an
active volunteer on many
political campaigns, it's qu-
ite different being the candi-
date. 1 look forward to lear-
ning from and networking
with other politically active
women."
Laforest said she first
learned about The White
House Project from Jenni-
fer Logue, who ran for co-
uncilor-at-large in the 2007
elections. Upon researching
the program, Laforest le-
arned that it was founded
by Wilson, whose book on
women's leadership she
happened to be reading at
the time.
"In her book, Wilson re-
ferences the letters of John
and Abigail Adams and re-
fers to Abigail as a 'feisty
potential president' who
passed our way," Laforest
said. "I'm very proud of my
Quincy heritage and look
forward to representing
Abigail Adams' city at the
Go Run! training in Minne-
sota."

A Job Well Done
On Tuesday, June 9. 2009. at approximately 8 p.m..
Officers Jay Borden. Tom Ford, Jamie Greene and Paul
Brown were dispatched to
ElmwcK>d Park for a disorder
"possibly involving a gun or a
knife."
While enroute to this
call, an update was given to
the exact apartment and a de-
scription of the male suspect,
who was attempting to leave.
Officer Ford arrived first and
said over the police radio
that the suspect was com-
ing down the stairs inside the
apartment building.
Officer Borden arrived and
saw a male matching the description at the exterior door.
The suspect saw the officer walking towards him, then
attempted to go back inside. He then opened the door
and again started to come down the outside stairs. At the
same time. Special Operations Officers Greene and Brown
came from behind the building and assisted Officer Bor-
den as he ordered the male to kneel on the ground and
put his hands behind his back. The suspect was then
placed in handcuffs, searched for weapons (none) and de-
tained pending further invesfigation.
Officer Borden then interviewed the victim, who was
the suspect's former girlfriend. She said that the suspect
had moved all of his belongings out of the apartment yes-
terday and she thought they were over. She said that she
returned to her apartment with some friends and had a
feeling that someone had been in her apartment. She
stated that some items had been moved and that the toi-
let seat had been left up. She found this strange, because
she was the only one who had been in the apartment dur-
ing the day. She checked the apartment, didn't find any-
one, so she went back to hanging out with her friends.
Soon after, the victim started getting text messages from
the suspect and then, all of a sudden, he appeared from
the bedroom.
He first punched a door, putting a hole through it.
grabbed the victim by the shirt, pushed her around
the kitchen, and then grabbed a long knife from the
kitchen drawer. The vicfim's friends immediately got up
from the couch and attempted to help her, but the suspect
moved towards them with the knife. One of the victim's
friends fled the apartment and called the Police.
The victim ran out of the apartment, chased by the sus-
pect, with knife in hand threatening to kill her. He was
unable to catch up to her, so he stopped at her car and said
he was going to slash her tires. He attempted to poke the
knife into the fires, but it just bent every time he tried. The
victim saw a female tenant and yelled for her to call the
police.
At this time, the victim made a run to get back into her
apartment and the suspect gave chase. She stated that she
tried to lock the exterior door behind her, but he punched
the glass, causing it to break. The victim was about to
escape the suspect as she reached her apartment door, but
it was locked! The vicfim was grabbed by her neck, held
against the door, kneed in the crotch and threatened with
the knife. The vicfim fell to the ground, where the suspect
started kicking the apartment door around her. She stat-
ed that while he was kicking the door, she was able to pull
the knife from him. She stated that it was at this point
Officer Ford was making his way up the stairs and the
suspect fled.
Officer Borden checked the apartment and deter-
mined that the suspect most likely climbed up the bal-
cony, entered through a propped open bedroom win-
dow and waited for the vicfim to arrive home. Officer
Borden retrieved the knife, which was approximately
14 inches in length with a blade of 8 inches. The blade
was bent from the attempts to puncture the tires.
Officer Borden then spoke with the vicfim's friends, who
corroborated the victim's account.
Two of the male friends said they tried to stop the as-
sault, but when the suspect came towards them with the
knife, they stepped back and one of them said, "Don't
do this, you don't want to do this man." The suspect
yelled back, "1 don't give a f&*%, I'll go to jail." It was
at this point that the vicfim fled the apartment, with the
suspect in pursuit. Her friends then locked the door so
that the suspect couldn't get back in, which inadvertently
resulted in the victim not being able to get back in when
she returned after briefly eluding the suspect. The victim
was informed of domesfic violence laws and her options
and she chose to get a restraining order. The susf>ect, a
22 year old Quincy resident, was charged with "Domes-
tic Assault and Battery, 2 counts of Assault with a Dan-
gerous Weapon (Knife), Breaking and Entering with in-
tent to commit a felony, 2 counts of Malicious Damage
under $250.00," for the door in the apartment, and the
glass door at the front of the complex. Nice Work!

Phelan Says Koch
'Mismanaged' Fire Contract
Union Says Phelan
Editor !v Note: Former
Mayor William Phelan, a
candidate for mayor, issued
this letter to the Quincy City
Council at last week's Fi-
nance Committee meeting
which discussed layoffs in
the Fire Department.
A copy of the letter was
submitted for publication.
Dear Members of the
Council,
I write to you this eve-
ning to express my deep dis-
apj)ointment at the threat-
ened teacher layoffs and
huge cuts to vital education
programs across our city.
The fact is the Koch Ad-
ministration's proposed cuts,
totaling $1 .8 million, would
not have been necessary but
for the utter mismanagement
by Mayor Koch of the City's
negotiations with firefight-
ers for their new contract, as
well as his wasteful spend-
ing in the fire department.
As you know, my ad-
ministration held the line
on employee health benefits
while negotiating the lion's
share of outstanding collec-
tive bargaining contracts in
2007. That set the stage for
entry by the City's employ-
ees into the Group Health
Insurance Plan offered by
the state, and $6 million in
savings to our city.
You are also aware that
each union with which my
administration negotiated
received an increase in pay
totaling approximately 13%
over a four-year period. One
of the only contracts Mayor
Koch negotiated was the
Fire Department, and the
total raise received by the
firefighters in the first year
of that contract alone totaled
approximately 13%- 15%.
Thus, Mayor Koch gave
firefighters a larger increase
in the first year of their con-
tract than other public em-
ployees received over the
total course of their four-
year contracts.
Those increases includ-
ed:
3% base pay increase
equivalent of $450,000.00
$300 base pay increase
equaling .5%, the equiva-
lent of approximately
$50,000.00.
Doubling shift dif-
ferential pay from 6% to
12% of base pay increas-
ing their total pay on aver-
age by $4^76.00 per year
or 6%, the equivalent of
$1,000,000.00.
Educational pay in-
crease by which Mayor
Koch unilaterally gave fire
fighters his own version of
the "Quinn Bill," which on
average increases the base
pay by nearly 1 .5% or the
equivalent of $228,400.00
in the first year of the con-
tract alone.
The total cost of the fire-
fighters' contract over and
above what other city unions
received under contracts
which my administration
negotiated was over $ 1 .25
million, nearly enough to
have totally off-set these
harmful education cuts.
Additionally, Mayor
Koch's mismanagement of
these important fire depart-
ment related issues cost
property taxpayers nearly
another half million dollars
in unnecessary spending.
The mismanaged issues, and
their cost, are:
Unnecessary hi ring of five
firefighters: $300,000.00
Creation of Captain posi-
tion: $80,000.00
Filling of unnecessary
Deputy Fire Chief position:
$108,000.00
Total: $488,000.00
In this tough economy,
and on the heels of the larg-
est tax increase in Quincy 's
history, I would respectfully
urge the Council to reign in
this Administration's contin-
ued excessive spending, and
protect the struggling prop-
erty taxpayers of our City.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
William Phelan

Editor 's Note In response
to William Phelan 's letter to
the City Council's Finance
Committee, the Qumcy
Firefighters Association is-
sued this statement for pub-
lication in The Quincy Sun.
To the Citizens of Qum-
cy,
Politics is what our coun-
try is built on; it is how our
government is run. Politics
should bring out pride in all
Americans, but m some un-
fortunately, it bnngs out the
worst.
Former Mayor William
Phelan has taken it upon
himself to attack the ad-
ministration and the Quincy
Firefighters on a collec-
tive bargaining agreement.
His venomous accusations
and characterizations of the
Quincy Firefighters are both
untrue and unethical. Dunng
Mr. Phelan's admmistration.
there was a constant turmoil
and unrest due to his less
than professional attitude
towards those he felt were
less than him.
In his latest attack against
the Koch administration. Mr.
Phelan attempts to shift the
blame of the fiscal crisis now
being experienced by the
City of Quincy on the backs
of the Quincy Firefighters.
This is not only a blatant lie;
it is just another example of
Mr. Phelan's mismanage-
ment of the finances of the
City of Quincy and inability
to accept responsibility for
his own actions.
Let's look at the facts:
Health Insurance: The
Phelan administration was
unable to achieve the goal of
lessening the burden of the
public employee health care
in the City budget because
he was unwilling to nego-
tiate in good faith with all
City unions This was made
evident by his inability to
come to agreement with
City unions by the State im
posed deadline Conversely.
Mayor Koch's approach to
the negotiation process was
a breath of fresh air, where
ideas and proposals were
discussed in an atmosphere
of dignity Subsequently.
Mayor Koch succeeded
where Mr. Phelan failed
Contract Negotiations:
Mr. Phelan negotiated onl)
four labor contracts in 2CXJ7.
giving a pay increase of 7^f
over three years to the lov\-
est City employees, while
offenng grandiose increases
of 13% over four years to
the City's highest paid em-
ployees, which just so hap-
pens to be laden with rela-
tives of Mr Phelan QuincN
Firefighters received the
same salary increase as ev-
ery other union in the City.
Front-loading con-
tracts: Mr Phelan com-
plains that Mayor Koch
gave the Firefighters higher
raises in the first year of
their contracts rather than
the last year. Unfortunately.
Mr. Phelan's failure to men-
tion his implementation is
nothing but a shell game Bn
back loading contracts. Mr.
Phelan can buy things that
he may never have to pa\
for. This practice is evident
in his contract with Hones -
well where he tied up City
finances for twenty years on
fraudulent repairs, while not
including the first of many
$3.000.(X)0 payments in his
election year budget. His
omission of this line item
along with the omission of
contractual obligations as
well as paying for fire and
police services with mone\
collected for the water and
sewer fees completely ex-
hausted the so-called surplus
supposedly left to the next
administration This water
and sewer shift cost Quincv
taxpayers thousands of dol-
lars in tax deductions
Hiring more firefight-
ers: .Mr Phelan has touted
his accomplishments of
hinng more hrehghters for
Quincy. when in fact the
number of firefighters in
Quincy dropped under his
administration from 218 to
208 causing the loss of in-
service apparatus
The Quincv Firefighters
understand the fiscal en sis
this Cit\ faces, and have
come to the forefront in
working with the Koth ad-
ministration in lessening the
burden on the taxpayers of
Quincy.
The Quincy Firefighters
were the first Quincy union
to agree to a less compre-
hensive health insurance
package, saving Quincv tax-
payers millions of dollars in
health care expenses
The Quincy Firefighters
were the first Quincv union
to agree t(^ a wage freeze,
saving Quincv taxpayers
hundreds of thousands ot
dollars.
The Quincy Firefighter^
have been working short-
handed through this fiscal
crisis causing greater risk
to Firefighters in their ef-
forts to keep the citizens of
Quincy safe.
The Quincy Firefighters
have been and will alwavs
be there to serve and protect
your life and vour property

Dollars
and $en$e
by David Uffington
Don't Toss
Those Credit-
Card Leaflets
Credit-card companies
are scrambling fast and
furious to get every dollar
they can before new credit
regulations take effect.
If you get a leaflet in
your next credit card state-
ment, read it. That informa-
tion (which is required to
be sent to you) is to let you
know what is changing on
your credit-card terms. Sit
down with a red pen, read
every single word and un-
derline the important parts.
Changes described in
those leaflets include:
• Less time to make
your payment. The number
days to make your payment
could be reduced, so be
sure mail it at least seven
days before it's due. (The
new regulation will require
that statements be mailed to
consumers at least 21 days
in advance.)
• How your payment will
be allocated. If you have
both cash advance and pur-
chases on your card, beware
any notification saying that
the one with the lower inter-
est rate will be credited first
- while the higher interest-
rate balance keeps accruing.
(The new regulation will re-
quire that money be applied
to the higher interest-rate
balance first.)
• Your interest rate could
go up. This is where we're
seeing some dramatic in-
creases in the leaflets. Not
only are rates going up on
new purchases, but on your
existing balances as well.
(The new regulation will
ban credit-card companies
from changing your rate
on existing balances unless
you've been late with pay-
ments.) Additionally, they
won't be able to tack new
fees onto existing balances.
• If you have a new card
and are counting on intro-
ductory rates (perhaps to
pay off a major purchase
you made when you got
the card), your rate could
change before you get to
the end of the introductory
period. (The new regula-
tions will ban this practice
and require promotional
rates to remain in effect for
six months.)
The Credit Cardholders'
Bill of Rights Act of 2009
won't take effect for one
year after becoming law.
That's a long, long time for
the credit-card industry to
play fast and loose.
Lenders do, however,
have to keep sending those
leaflets when they intend to
make changes. That's going
to be your only warning of
changes to your account. So,
keep your red pen handy.
David Uffington regrets that he
cannot personally answer reader
questions, but will incorporate
them into his column whenever
possible. Write to him in care o]

Online Tools Can Help Sell A Home
(ARA) - Modem home
selling has gone way be-
yond the "for sale" sign on
the front lawn. Nearly 90
percent of home buyers look
online when shopping for a
home, according to the Na-
tional Association of Real-
tors. So your home-selling
efforts need to cruise the
Information Superhighway
at top speed.
"Despite a slowdown
in the housing market, real
estate consumers have in-
creased their usage of the
Internet as their 'go-to' real
estate information source in
order to successfully find the
home they purchase," says
Greg Healy, vice president
of operations for ForSale-
ByOwner.com. "Consumers
are becoming more inde-
pendent in the home-buying
process, and are educating
themselves about real estate
issues."
The number of buyers
who ended up purchasing a
home they first saw online
has soared - from just 8
percent in 2001 to 32 per-
cent in 2008 ~ according to
NAR statistics. Meanwhile,
the number of buyers who
found their homes through a
real estate agent has dropped
from 48 percent in 2001 to
34 percent in 2008.
Buyers, however, aren't
the only half of the real es-
tate equation that is turning
to more independent use of
the Internet to close deals.
More sellers are using Inter-
net tools to independently
market their homes in an
economy where keeping ev-
ery dollar of a home's sale
price is more important than
ever.
"Home sellers need to
know how to use the Inter-
net's full marketing power to
attract the growing number
of buyers who go online to
find their next home," Healy
says. They're turning to sites
like ForSaleByOwner.com
that now allow them to list
their homes on the Multiple
Listing Service and Realtor,
com, which were once only
available for sellers who
used full-service real estate
agents. In addition, the real
estate website also posts
their customers' homes on
Craigslist, USAToday.com,
Yahoo Real Estate, Google
Base, Facebook and other
popular websites.
The Internet and broader
access to it have helped
even the playing field be-
tween professional real es-
tate agents and homeown-
ers who decide to sell their
homes independently. With
access to many of the same
tools the pros use to market
homes, private sellers are
able to better weigh the ad-
vantages of working with a
real estate agent against the
ability to retain as much of
their selling price as pos-
sible.
Regardless of who's do-
ing the selling, a successful
online home-selling cam-
paign relies on several fac-
tors:
* Placement on the right
sites, such as local MLS
sites and national sites like
Realtor.com and ForSale-
ByOwner.com.
* Comprehensive and
professional-sounding de-
scriptions of the property,
including room sizes, over-
all square footage, selling
points and neighborhood
assets.
* Multiple, high-quality
color images and, if pos-
sible, video tours of the
home.
* Simple, easy-to-use
ways to contact the seller
and schedule a showing.
* Competitive pricing
based on selling prices of
comparable homes in the
area.
NAR statisUcs also show
that homeowners who sell
their own homes are able to
sell for closer to their ask-
ing price and four weeks
quicker than sellers who
hired a real estate agent. To
learn more about how to use
Internet tools to sell your
home, visit www.ForSale-

(ARA) - How's your re-
lationship with your house-
hold appliances? You open
your refrigerator every day
and run the dishwasher,
clothes washer and dryer
several times each week.
But how often do you
think about your water
heater? You use it every day,
usually multiple times a day.
When was the last time you
thought about how much
energy it consumes or how
well it's doing its job?
Heating water can ac-
count for 14 to 25 percent of
the total energy consumed
in your home, according
to the U.S. Department of
Energy. Choosing the right
water heater for your home
and regularly maintaining it
can help reduce your energy
bills. What's more, you can
actually get a tax break for
choosing an energy-efficient
water heater.
Under the new American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, if you install a
natural gas or propane water
heater with an Energy Fac-
tor (EF) rating of at least
.82, or 90 percent thermal
efficiency, you could qualify
for a tax credit of up to 30
percent of the total cost of
installing the heater, includ-
ing labor, up to a maximum
of $1 ,500. In addition to the
potential tax savings, many
utility companies now offer
rebates to homeowners who
install new, energy-efficient
water heaters.
So how do you choose
the right water heater for
vour home? Here are some
tips:
The Department of En-
ergy advises you to consider
several factors, including
the type of fuel available to
your home (gas, oil or elec-
tric), the size of your home,
the energy efficiency rating
of the water heater you're
considering, and the annual
operating costs of different
types of water heaters. The
size water heater you need
will vary based on the size
of your home, how much
use you anticipate it will get
and the type of heater you're
considering.
It's important to know
the differences between
standard water heaters and
high-efficiency models. For
example, the Vertex high-
efficiency water heater,
produced by A. O. Smith,
replaces the straight exhaust
pipe found in standard gas
models with an innovative
helical coil inside the tank.
Conventional heaters lose
roughly 25 percent of their
energy through the exhaust.
Tankless heaters don't fare
much better, clocking ef-
ficiency levels of just 80
to 84 percent. The Vertex's
special design boosts effi-
ciency to 96 percent, saving
homeowners money on their
gas bill and providing more
hot water faster than con-
ventional models.
Even if your water heater
is currently working, if it's
an older, inefficient model,
you could reap real cost
benefits by replacing it with
a more energy -efficient one.
The average lifespan of
a water heater is 12 to 14
years. If yours is approach-
ing the end of its usable life,
it's a good idea to research
your options and decide on
a proactive replacement. If
you find yourself without
a functioning water heater
and no plan for replacing
it, you'll be more likely to
go for the quickest, cheap-
est option available - which
might not be the best choice
for your needs.
Five categories of wa-
ter heater are now Energy
Star rated, including high-
performance gas storage,
whole-home gas tankless,
advanced drop-in or inte-
grated heat pump, solar and
gas condensing. For each
type of water heater, the
Energy Star rating can help
you determine just how en-
ergy efficient a model is.
Finally, be aware that
opting for energy efficiency
doesn't mean you'll have
to sacrifice performance
in terms of how much hot
water you'll get and how
quickly. In fact, modem
energy-efficient heaters like
the Vertex can produce more
hot water, more quickly and
for less money than other
models of comparable size.
The enhanced performance
fits well into Americans'
busy lifestyles with high de-
mand for hot water.

heaters, visit www.hotwater.

Repairs That
Can't Wait
Q, I know everyone
• is trying to save
money wherever they can
these days. But some people
are avoiding making home
repairs because they are wor-
ried about the cost. Please let
your readers know that some
problems have to be taken
care of when they're small,
before they become really ex-
pensive to fix. Thanks. — Bill
in Minneapolis
Assure thing! It's es-
• sential that certain
home repairs (and maintenance
items) be tackled right away
before they develop into much
bigger messes - even if the re-
pair needs to be done by a pro-
fessional .
Below are five tasks that
should never be put off, pro-
vided courtesy of Angle's List
(www.angieslist.com).
1. Change your air filters.
HVAC experts estimate that
60 percent of all service calls
are the result of dirty filters.
Changing air filters regularly
(every month or so) can save
you up to $100 each year in en-
ergy costs.
2. Repair leaky faucets
and running toilets. Doing so
could save hundreds of dollars
per year on your water bill.
And don't neglect your sump
pump. Check the batteries and
ufxiate the appliance every
few years. A flooded basement
will cause thousands of dollars
in damages.
3. Check the caulking
around your tub and shower
for moisture penetration, which
can lead to mold. Bath fixtures
can avoid premature replace-
ment if the tile surface is kept
watertight, and the subsurface,
usually dry wall, remains dr)'.
4. Inspect electrical cords
and outlets for signs of distor-
tion, discoloration or cracks
in the insulation, and hire an
electrician to replace tired out-
lets that no longer hold a plug.
A defective receptacle, light
switch or fixture replaced dur-
ing a scheduled visit will save
you hundreds of dollars over an
emergency repair.
5. Weatherproof windows
and doors. These are the two
areas with the largest amount
of air transfer in both cold
and hot weather. Use a digital
thermometer to check the seal
quality and inspect the caulk-
ing for areas that have cracked
or shrunk, which will allow
water to damage siding and
floors. Once sealed, use a pro-
grammable thermostat to help
regulate air temperature, which
could save you up to 10 percent
on your monthly energy bill.
Consider getting a home energy
audit.
HOME TIP: When hiring
a contractor to make home re-
pairs, always insist on a writ-
ten estimate before any work
begins.

Spending On Your Home Can Save In The Long Run
(ARA) - Now that warm-
er weather is here, people
are gearing up to make
some repairs and updates
to their homes. From new
roofs and siding to add-
ing state-of-art kitchen and
other household appliances,
people have more options
than ever when it comes to
making purchases that can
help them save money and
the environment.
The ENERGY STAR
program, a joint effort from
the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency and the U.S.
Department of Energy, is
designed to help people save
money on their utility bills
while reducing greenhouse
gasses. In 2008, more than
$19 billion was saved on
utility bills through the pro-
gram. According to the New
York State Energy Research
and Development Authority,
investing $3,000 to $8,000
in your home ~ not includ-
ing rebates - can result in
savings of 10 to 30 percent
annually on utility bills.
For people who are look-
ing to sell their homes or
simply a good investment,
energy-efficient options can
make your home more valu-
able. According to the EPA,
a $1 investment in your
home can add about $20 in
value. In other words, for
every $1,000 invested in
energy efficiency, you gain
about $20,000 in value.
Colby Swanson, a build-
ing and construction expert
for BASF, a manufacturer of
energy-efficient products for
the home, offers these rec-
ommendations on how you
can save yourself money by
making improvements on
your house.
* Start with improving
the envelope of the build-
ing (specifically attic air
sealing and insulating) be-
fore buying things like a
high-efficiency furnace, air
conditioner or solar-power
cells. The money you may
save would be wasted if the
building can't contain the
expensive conditioned air.
Swanson says that air leak-
age from the house through
the ceiling is one of the larg-
est contributors for heating
and cooling loss with im-
properly installed attic insu-
lation close behind. Focus-
ing on attic air sealing and
properly installed insulation
is generally the most cost ef-
fective energy and comfort
related improvement in an
existing home. The U.S. De-
partment of Energy reports
that up to 40 percent of the
energy cost of heating and
cooling a structure is wasted
by uncontrolled air leakage.
"The attic has some of
the most extreme weather
on the planet," Swanson
says. "It's extremely hot in
the summer and bitterly cold
in the winter. Therefore, air
sealing and insulating this
extremely harsh environ-
ment from the house is cru-
cial"
* BASF makes a product
that could save homeowners
a lot of money; a polyure-
thane foam spray. Comfort
Foam and Enertite Foam,
replaces the conventional,
fiberglass or cellulose insu-
lation in the attic and walls.
Spray foam is the premium
insulating product on the
market because of its ability
to air seal and insulate at the
same time.
"Professionally installed
foam in the attic will far
outperform the convention-
al products both in air seal-
ing and insulating capabil-
ity resulting in much more
comfortable homes and sub-
stantially lower heating and
cooling bills," says Swan-
son. "Studies indicate that a
thorough job of leak sealing
can cut your home's total
air leakage by 33 to 46 per-
cent - reducing your heat-
ing and cooling bills up to
20 percent. To help further
the energy efficiencies of a
home and help homeown-
ers remain environmentally
conscious, don't dispose of
the attic insulation being re-
placed, recycle it by placing
it on top of the newly placed
foam."
* Another simple and less
costly way for homeowners
to make their homes more
energy-efficient: apply a ra-
^Avoiding Mortgage
Foreclosure' Topic June 25
Cong. William Delahunt
will host a forum entitled
"Avoiding Mortgage Fore-
closure" Thursday, June 25
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at
Weymouth Town Hall, 75
Middle St., Weymouth.
The forum is also spon-

• Can ask questions and
express concerns;
• Have the opportunity
to speak with housing coun-
selors, law students and at-

diant barrier coating that is
sprayed on the underside of
the roof in the attic, which
will lower heating and cool-
ing bills and increase com-
fort. In the summer, it re-
flects some of the heat that
radiates through the roof
deck back outside and, to a
lesser degree, in the winter
reflects heat back into the
house. One option is Radi-
ance, made by BASF, a wa-
ter-based product that can be
sprayed on to the underside
of the roof or applied with a
paint roller.
* After the ceiling is air
tight and insulated correctly,
consider appliances. Next
time you need to replace
your home's water heater,
consider this: after the fur-
nace and air conditioner it is
the biggest user of energy in
a house . As of 2009, you can
now purchase a water heater
certified as an ENERGY
STAR appliance.
* Show me the money.
Financial help is available.
What many homeowners
may not know is that they
have the opportunity to le-
verage many rebates pro-
vided by local utility and
state programs on top of
the federal tax incentives
to help finance home ener-
gy-efficiency investments.
These attractive rebates and
incentives vary widely (ap-
proximately 5 percent to
50 percent savings) to help
off-set a homeowners in-
vestment to air seal , insulate
or purchase high efficiency
appliances. The federal gov-
ernment offers a 30 percent
rebate of up to $5 ,000 on en-
ergy investment.

bates and incentives in your

HEALTH and FITNESS
Keeping Your Head Above Water
Your family's health
could sink or swim, depend-
ing on where you choose to
spend the summer.
But a few very basic pre-
cautions can greatly reduce
your risk of trouble.
"Bacterial infectit)ns and
water-borne illnesses are
real risks for those who en-
joy swimming, water-skiing
or many other recreational
water activities," said Dr.
Dennis Maki, professor of
medicine and infectious-dis-
ease specialist at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin School of
Medicine and Public Health
(SMPH). "Bacteria, viruses
and parasites can all make
you sick in "recreational
water."
And it's not just natural
bodies of water. Maki says
pools and hot tubs, as well
as rivers and lakes, can be
sources for gastrointestinal
illnesses; skin, ear and eye
infections; and respiratory,
neurological and viral prob-
lems.
According to Maki. who
is also an epidemiologist at
II W Hospital and Clinics,
the safest places to swim
are generally municipal
and private pools which are
monitored for their chlorine
content. But he cautions that
even pools can pose risks be-
cause some pathogens, such
as Cryptosporidium, can
live for days even in prop-
erly chlorinated water. The
most common health issues
associated with pools are
gastrointestinal illnesses or
p.seudomonas folliculitis,
a skin rash. You might be-
come infected by swallow-
ing pool water, even a small
amount.
"Water parks can be es-
pecially troublesome be-
cause so many people swim
and play in the water that
recirculates and can lose
chlorine residual quickly."
.said Maki.
A study by the Wiscon-
sin Division of Health found
that cushioned and padded
surfaces, designed to reduce
water-park injuries, can also
harbor bacteria.
Hot tubs probably pose
the greatest risk of contract-
ing an infectious illness
irom water. The warm and
stagnant water invites cer-
tain heavy contamination
by bacteria, fungi and virus-
es Hot-tub safety mandates
monitoring chlorine and pH
levels, as well as draining
and cleaning the tub regu-
larly and properly.
Natural bodies of water
have their own set of con-
cerns. Lakes and rivers are
predictably contaminated
by runoff from farm helds
following heavy rain. Maki
points out that the water can
contain very high counts of
coliform bacteria and other
microorganisms, such as
Cryptosporidium, that cause
gastrointestinal illness-
es. With near-drownings.
these organisms can cause
life-threatening pneunK)nia.
Finally, there is the risk
of skin infections. "Swim-
mer's itch" fcercarial derma-
titis) usually doesn't require
medical care but can be ex-
tremely uncomfortable with
maddening itching. More
serious skin infections pre-
dictably follow cuts or abra-
sions, especiallv major soft-
tissue injuries, and pose the
greatest risks to people uith
compromised immune sys-
tems.
"Atypical mycobactc
rium infections can be very
difficult to treat." said Maki.
and they require many
months of antibiotics or
combinations of antibiotics
The Centers for Disease
Control recommend safet>
precautions for prevention
of illness related to ualer
recreation:
• Adults and children
with diarrhea should not use
swimming pools, hot tubs or
water parks.
• Shower vviih soap and
tap water before swimming
or getting into a hot tub and.
again, afterwards.
• Wash )our hands thor-
oughly after using the toilet,
before re-entering the water.
• Avoid swallowing wa-
ter.
• Don't swim in warm,
stagnant water or use pt)or-
ly maintained hot tubs or
pools.

ARE YOUR TEETH GETTING A SPORTING CHANCE?
Whether or not sports drinks eration. We urge a routine of
are a healthier choice than
soda, the citric acid they contain
can prove detrimental to teeth.
According to recent research,
which involved submerging teeth
in top-selling sports drinks for up
to 90 minutes (comparable to
drinking a sports drink through-
out the day), teeth exposed to
sports drinks had partially dis-
solved enamel layers. As a re-
sult, the bone-like layer beneath
the enamel was exposed, caus-
ing teeth to soften and weaken.
This effect, known as "erosive
tooth wear," can lead to exces-
sive tooth damage and even
tooth bss if not treated. Oddly,
baishing teeth immediately after
drinking a sports drink does not
help because tfie softened teeth
are more vulnerable to the abra-
siveness of the toothpaste.
To prevent tooth erosbn,
consume sports drinks in mod-
penodic professional exams
that will help ensure the health
and longevity of your teeth.
Fillings, extractions, sealants,
root canals, cosmetic dentistry,
partial or full dentures, crowns
and bridges are just some
of the services we offer. For
exceptional dental care, call
617-479-6220 to schedule an
appointment. We're located
at 44 Greenleaf Street, where
we want to provide your entire
family with tfie best oral health
care possible. We offer the ser-
vices of anesthesiology with a
fully trained and qualified an-
esthesiologist. Visit us on the

P.S. If you drink sports drinks
on a regular basis, ask the

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Things that usually come easily
and quickly for the Aries Lamb
might need more of your time
and attention during the next sev-
eral days. Try to be patient as you
work things out.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A changing situation can cre-
ate some complications. But if
you apply that sensible Bovine
mind to what seems to be a hope-
less tangle of confusion, you'll
soon sort things out.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Creating a new look for your
surroundings is fun. Expect to
hear mostly positive comments
on your efforts, as well as some
well-intended suggestions you
might want to note.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Maybe you'd rather do anything
else than what you're "stuck
with" right now. But if you stop
complaining, you might see how
this could lead to something with
real potential.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Even a proud Leo ultimately re-
covers from hurt feelings. How-
ever, a damaged relationship
might never heal unless you're
willing to spend more time and
effort trying to work things out.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) There are lots of
changes on the horizon, so be
prepared to make some adjust-
ments in your usually fine-tuned
life. One change might even im-
pact a personal decision you've
been putting off.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Being the depend-
able person you are could work
in your favor for a project that
requires both skill and account-
ability. But check this out care-
fully. There could be a hidden
downside.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) A temperamen-
tal outburst about a mishandled
project causes some fallout. Be
sure to couple an apology with
an explanation A new opportu-
nity beckons by week's end.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) Changing
horses midstream is usually un-
wise but sometimes necessary.
Examine your options carefully
before making a decision. A trust-
ed colleague offers gcxxl advice.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) While much of
your time is involved with busi-
ness matters, fun-time opportuni-
ties open up by week's end. En-
joy yourself, but be careful that
you don't overspend.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) A "revelation"
opens your eyes to what is really
going on in the workplace. What
you leam could make a differ-
ence in your career path. Contin-
ue to be alert for more news.
PISCES (Febmary 19 to
March 20) Not wanting to make
waves might be the safest way
to deal with a difficult situation.
But no substantive changes can
be made unless you share your
assessments with others.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of talking to people
that makes them want to listen.
You could find a successful ca-
reer in politics.

Did you ever wonder where, when
and by whom Father's Day was initi-
ated? In 1910, Mrs.JohnDodd started
the custom in Spokane, Washington.
A quarter of a century later, in 1936,
a national Father's Day Committee
was formed with headquarters in
New York.
Through the years. Father's
Day has come to be a gracious part of American folk-life.
. . There are some who feel this observance is primarily a
commercial promotion. . . ringing up sales for the time-
honored tire, shirt or pajamas, plus a sentimental card.
Perhaps it is true in certain cases. . . . But it can be more
than this. Indeed, it can be and is a form of satisfaction to
the man who is a father and has earned the title.
Moreover, on this occasion, the title of father carries a
connotation of respect and reverence. It is a day to observe
the commandment, *'Honor thy father and thy mother" in
a special way.
And so, on this special day to all those special, special
fathers, we salute you. We wish you a happy, pleasant day
. . You deserve "Your Day." . . .

Sasaki's Internship Team
will be presenting their vi-
sion plan and final recom-
mendations to city officials
within the next few weeks.
"This Plan for the Wol-

not sit idle on the shelf; we
intend to make this plan a
living, breathing document
that will help the Wollaston
Business District revitalize
for the future," said Har-
rington.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin recently testi-
fied before state legislators,
seeking approval of a Home
Rule Petition which would
allow tax abatements for
Quincy 's citizen soldiers'
serving in Iraq or Afghani-
stan.
The Home Rule Petition
drafted by Coughlin was ap-
proved by the City Council
in 2008. However, the tax
code change must be ap-
proved by both state legis-
lative bodies and signed by
Governor Deval Patrick be-
fore it will be in effect.
Both Coughlin and Rep.
Bruce Ayers testified be-
fore the Joint Committee on
Revenue in favor of the peti-
tion which was submitted to
the senate by Sen. Michael
Morrissey.
"On Sept. 11, 2001, the
roles and missions of both
the guard and reserves fun-
damentally changed forev-
er," Coughlin said, adding
that the war on terrorism
"altered the landscape for
citizen soldiers who may
have never envisioned long
term, frequent deployments
with unpredictability of
missions and increased du-
ration..."
KEVIN COUGHLIN
Coughlin described the
health problems, stress on
families, accumulated debt
"and the loss of financial
assets" as just a few of the
many consequences for citi-
zen soldiers.
"Sixty percent of the
part-time soldiers called
up either worked for them-
selves, owned a small or
medium-sized business or
were employed by such a
company.
"Some have lost their
jobs at small businesses and
some small business own-
ers have closed their doors
amidst the current economic
implosion."
Coughlin concluded
his testimony by stating
"that these citizen soldiers
and their families should
not shoulder this burden
alone....
"This legislation can, in
some small way, translate
verbal recognition into vis-
cerally tangible action."
If approved, the program
would allow up to a 100%
real property tax abatement
for qualified members of
the National Guard and Re-
serves who have been de-
ployed on active duty during
fiscal years 2002 to 2010.
Coughlin said he has
heard from several spouses
of deployed residents since
City Council approved the
ordinance.
He described their stories
of stress as "compelling tes-
timony" that the need exists
to provide for those "whose
courage and sacrifice" serve
democracy.

Robertston Street Tragedy
Firefighters, Police,
Emergency Workers
Honored By City Council
By LAURA GRIFFIN
In a somber ceremony.
City Council recently com-
mended more than three
dozen firefighters, police
and emergency workers for
their courage and swift re-
sponse to the devastating
March 25 fire on Robertson
Street, West Quincy.
Speakers recalled both
the tragedy and the miracle
of that 3 a.m. two-alarm call
to Robertson Street where
a father and two infants
perished, but a mother was
found, barely alive, and res-
cued by alert firefighters.
Thanks to the 29 fire-
fighters, the deadly fire and
smoke was contained and
extinguished before it could
spread and claim more vic-
tims and neighlxirhood
structures, councillors re-
called.
City Council President
Jay Davis read the com-
mendations recognizing the
29 firefighters who battled
the smoke and contained the
fire despite hazardous con-
ditions endangering their
own safety.
Davis then presented
commendations for the po-
lice and medical response
team from Fallon's Ambu-
lance Co.
The firefighters' com-
mendation states:
"When duty called, your
vision was clear and with
quick decisive action, you
professionally handled a
very dangerous situation
doing everything humanly
possible at your own peril."
Acting Fire Chief Jo-
seph Barron said firefight-
ers risked explosive condi-
tions when they entered the
building, particularly the
basement of the three story
wood-framed residence
where one victim clung to
life.
After entering the dark-
ened basement, three of
those firefighters, Daniel
Sullivan, Kenneth Lippens
and Thomas Bowes, located
the victims and heard Tern
Knight's weak breathing.
Knight was the wife and
mother of the victims.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On June 22, 1611, after
spending a winter trapped
by ice in Hudson Bay, the
starving crew of the Dis-
covery mutinies against its
captain, English navigator
Henry Hudson, and sets him,
his teenage son and seven
supporters adrift in a small,
open boat. Hudson and the
eight others were never seen
again.
• On June 26, 1807,
lightning hits a gunpowder
factory in the small Europe-
an country of Luxembourg,
killing more than 300 peo-
ple. When lightning struck
the underground fortress, the
ammunition housed within
ignited on contact, causing a
massive explosion.
• On June 27, 1829, in
Genoa, Italy, English sci-
entist James Smithson dies,
leaving a will that decreed
the whole of his estate should
be used to fund the Smithso-
nian Institution in Washing-
ton, D.C. The amount was
more than $500,000, a for-
tune at the time.
• On June 23, 1927, the
Sioux County Pioneer news-
paper of North Dakota re-
ports that President Calvin
Coolidge will be "adopted"
into a Sioux tribe. Coolidge's
public policy toward Indians
included the Indian Citizen
Act of 1924, which granted
automatic U.S. citizenshio
to all American tribes.
• On June 27, 1940, dur-
ing World War II, Germany
sets up two-way radio com-
munication employing its
most sophisticated coding
machine. Enigma, to trans-
mit information. The Ger-
man military considered its
encoding system unbreak-
able. It was wrong. Allied
cryptographers broke the
code and intercepted vir-
tually every message sent
through the system.
• On June 25, 1956, the
last Packard automobile was
produced, marking the end
of production at Packard's
Connor Avenue plant in De-
troit. Packard continued to
manufacture cars in South
Bend, Ind., until 1958, but
for those familiar with Pack-
ard, the last 1956 is consid-
ered the last true Packard.
•On June 24, 1997, US
Air Force officials release a
231 -page report dismissing
long-standing claims of an
alien spacecraft crash in Ro-
swell, N.M., 50 years earlier.
Titled "The Roswell Report,
Case Closed," the document
stated that there was no evi-
dence that any kind of life
form was found in the area
in connection with the re-
ported UFO sightings.

Well, 1 finally did it.
And I am so glad 1 did.
And I'm a little ashamed to even admit I hadn't done it
before.
For the first-time, 1 recently visited and toured the Adams
Mansion at 135 Adams St. in Quincy - also known as the
Old House at Peace field - which is part of the Adams Na-
tional Historical Park.
Yes, for me it's hard to believe it was my first time in this
historic site which is really a memorial to four generations
of the distinguished Adams family, who lived in it from
1788 until 1927.
I can't even explain why 1 had never visited the Old
House before. I'm a history buff. I've been to other impres-
sive historical homes, notably The White House and Mount
Vernon. I've also darkened the doorstep at The Thayer
House in Braintree and the Birthplaces of John Adams and
John Quincy Adams located on Franklin Street in Quincy.
Heck, I even portrayed Patrick Henry - like John Adams
a Founding Father - in my fifth grade play during the Bicen-
tennial way back in 1976. 1 thought I was Hollywood-bound
after my stirring re-enactment of Henry's "Give Me Liberty
or Give Me Death" speech at my old elementary school .
But in all seriousness I have to admit that I've taken the
rich story of the Adams family and their overwhelming con-
tributions to our nation's history - an integral part of our
independence - for granted.
And I'm sure there are others who live or work in this
city who have done the same.
I have driven past the Old House thousands of fimes. And
hundreds of times I've said to myself: "1 really should tour
the house. So much history there."
You really can't comprehend the scope of that history
until you walk through the front doors. And allow one of
the Adams National Historical Park staffers to interpret that
story and bring this unique landmark to life.
My thanks to Mariaime Peak, the always gracious and
.hospitable superintendent of the ANHP,
for explaining so many features of this
house which dates back to 1731 when it
was built as a summer residence by Leon-
ard Vassal I. Maj. Leonard Vassal I was a
wealthy West Indian sugar planter who
had come to Massachusetts. He built the
' oldest part of the building which was a 2
!^ -story frame structure of Georgian de-
sign with clapboarded walls and gambrel
roof.
One word of advice for those considering a tour: you
may not be able to digest all the historical facts in one visit.
There are two floors and the original home features a Pan-
eled Room, Older Hall and Dining Room on the first floor as
well as a President's Room, Older Hall and Guest Chamber
on the second floor.
That's just for starters.
In later years, a Kitchen Wing, East Wing, Hallway and
Servants Wing were added. One of the more interesting
rooms for me was the Study that is part of the East Wing that
John and Abigail Adams added around 1800. That's where
Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams worked
while they were home from Washington, D.C. as the Old
House served as "The Summer White House."
In one of the comers of the study is John Adams's wing
chair where just a few days before his death on July 4"",
1826, he gave one last message to the American people: "I
give you Independence forever."
Earlier on that day, Thomas Jefferson had died on that
same day which happened to be the 50^ anniversary of the
adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The study is
also where Adams wrote letters to Jefferson. Over a 10- year
period their correspondence produced 329 letters. (Can you
imagine what thoughts they could have shared with text
messaging and cell phones?)
The other striking aspect of this tour for me was the re-
alization that this structure actually served as a home to four
generations of Adamses over the course of nearly 140 years.
It's not like someone simply built the home a few decades
ago and put period museum pieces in it. People lived in the
home, gave birth in the home and died in the home.
You're probably familiar with the fact that two U.S. Pres-
idents and their wives lived in the house: John Adams (No.
2) and his wife Abigail; and their son John Quincy Adams

Other famous occupants include Charles Francis Adams
(1907-1886), son of John Quincy. He became a U.S. Con-
gressman, diplomat and author.
And John Quincy II (1833-1894) Charles Francis, Jr.
(1835-1915), Henry (1838-1918), and Brooks (1848-1927)
all made notable marks in politics, literature and historiog-
raphy.
The tour includes a visit inside the Stone Library, which
measures 38-foot long by 25-foot deep and contains 12,000
books, manuscripts, maps and pamphlets that were collect-
ed and read by the Adams men, women and children. The
library was built of Quincy granite and brick masonry in
1870 by Charles Francis Adams at the request of his father,
John Quincy Adams.
Visitors can also survey the grounds of Peace field which
has evolved from a working farm to a country estate to a
national park from the early 19^ century to today.
And don't be surprised if you find yourself planning an-
other visit after your first.

THIS SUMMER is a perfect time to visit the Adams
National Historical Park. Not only will there be exciting
events, the Park Service has announced it will offer fee-free
weekends this summer to encourage Americans affordable
vacations to visit national treasures throughout this nation,
including the ANHP.
Supt. Marianne Peak invites everyone to visit the Park
this summer and take advantage of the fee-free admission
weekends on July 18-19 and Aug. 15-16.
"We have several planned events that we believe will be
worthwhile experiences for all , from a Shakespearian play,
to an outdoor concert and, of course, tours of the Adams
homes telling their story from the cradle to the grave."
One special event falls on Independence Day - Saturday,
July 4. The program, called Independence Forever, will fea-
ture an interactive re-enactment of the Continental Congress
debate of the Declaration of Independence. The re-enact-
ments will be held at noon and again at 3 p.m.
Later that evening, at 7 p.m., there will be a production of
the acclaimed play "Jefferson and Adams: A Revolutionary
Dialogue." The event will be held on the Beale House lawn.
Bring your own chair and blanket.
For children, the Junior Ranger program provides an ac-
tivity book enhancing their park experience with an official
Junior Ranger Badge.
For other events, check the calendar listing in The Quincy
Sun's Historic Quincy supplement in this week's issue.
The calendar also lists activities at the Thomas Crane
Public Library, Quincy Park Department, and other things
to do this summer and fall.
While the Adams NHP has had a storied past, Peak be-
lieves its future has never looked brighter.
"In 1780, Abigail Adams advised her son, John Quincy
Adams, 'These are times in which a genius would wish to
live. . .'
"Now in the 21" century," Peak says, "in the spirit of
Abigail Adams, these are the times for the National Park
Service, its many partners, and the community of Quincy to
continue to work together promoting Quincy, a Presidential
Community.
"The park and its partners believe that 2009 is not only a
time for reflection, but also a great time to plan to consider
our future with a vision promoting education, culture, sci-
ence and the arts.
'Together," Peak adds, "We make great things happen."

Phelan Says Koch Tailed' In Firefighter Negotiations
Among the distortions
in his opinion piece in last
week's edition of The Quin-
cy Sun, the President of the
Quincy Firefighters Union
falsely stated that 1 had at-
tacked Quincy 's firefighters
with "venomous accusations
and characterizations . . ."
The truth - as is evident
to anyone who actually read
my comments in the same
edition of The Sun - is that
my criticism was aimed
solely at Mayor Koch's mis-
management of the city's
negotiations with firefight-
ers which will cost taxpay-
ers millions.
I did not say a word about
firefighters.
I have the greatest re-
spect and admiration for
their bravery, and 1 wish
that they could all be paid
much more. And I also un-
derstand that they and their
union representatives have a
responsibility to negotiate to
get as much as they can for
themselves, and their fami-
lies.
But the Mayor of Quincy
has a different responsibil-
ity: to be fair, while looking
out for the interests of strug-
gling taxpayers.
The firefighters and their
union representatives did
their job.
It was Mayor Koch who
failed to do his.
William J. Phelan
Candidate for Mayor
Calls Firefighters Union Defense Of Koch
On Contract ^Sad And Disappointing'
I find it sad and disturbing
that the Firefighters Union
is allowed to defend Mayor
Koch in the opinion column
regarding former Mayor
Phelan 's letter to the City
Council concerning their
contract. Firefighter Ernest
Arienti is allowed to offer
his opinion on the impact of
a contract, which he helped
negotiate with Mayor Koch
with information that is in-
accurate and not factual .
The fact of the matter is
that Mr. Phelan has declared
his intention to challenge
Mayor Koch. He submitted
a letter to the City Council
with factual information on
the impact of the firefight-
ers' contract. Apparently,
Mr. Arienti disagrees with
Mr. Phelan but as firefighter
states, let's look at the facts.
The former mayor tried
to negotiate with all unions
concerning the City's wish
to join the GIC and he was
successful with some of
those unions. Mr. Arienti
claims that Mayor Koch was
successful because of his
approach in the negotiafion
process. What he should
have said was show us
(certain unions) the money
and we'll join. Every union
employee will receive 300
dollars in bas salary as of
July 1 , 2009 when the City
joins the GIC. It will cost
the City well over 1 million
dollars in additional salary
plus additional Medicare
and retirement costs for the
City to join. It will cost the
schools over $542 thousand
dollars, which is a substan-
tial portion of their budget
deficit for this year because
even though Mayor Koch
negotiated it, he expects the
schools to find it in their
budget.
As far as I know, Mr.
Phelan 's numbers are ac-
curate concerning the fire
contract increases. The base
increase was 3% but ad-
ditional salary items move
this increase to close to 15%
in the first year of the con-
tract. If Mr. Arienti actually
disputes this then let's get
the last two contracts with
the firefighters who it covers
and review the information
at the Sun's office.
Mr. ArienU makes claims
that the Honeywell contract
ties up city finances for 20
years on fraudulent repairs.
None of this has been prov-
en. In fact Mr. Arienti fails
to mention the over $800
thousand in rebates that
Honeywell owed to the city
last year as well as any en-
ergy cost savings that the
City benefited from. In fact
in fiscal year 2008 there was
a balance of $3,959,337 in
free cash and $12,834,395
in stabilization funds, which
was available to the City.
This is a total of over $16
million in reserves that
Phelan left for the new ad-
ministration. There was also
over $14 million in excess
levy capacity (money that
could have been levied as a
real estate tax but was not).
Mayor Koch managed to
spend all of the excess levy
capacity in one year becau.se
of the financial cnsis. What
cnsis? Look at the numbers.
Firefighter Arienti states
that. "theQuincy Firefighters
Union was the first to agree
to a wage freeze saving the
Quincy taxpayers hundreds
of thousands of dollars."
What he doesn't say is the
first year of the new con-
tract raised most firefighter
salaries by almost 15% with
all salary increases. Also,
the wage freeze does not
include step increase for all
the unions. So in fact, some
employees will see their pay
increase. 1 think Firefighter
Anenti should stick to what
he knows best and let Mayor
Koch defend the actions he
took himself.

The USS Salem and US
Naval Shipbuilding Mu-
seum, in Quincy, begins its
summer schedule this week.
The museum is open to
the public seven days a week
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The USS Salem is a 716-
foot long U.S. Navy Heavy
Cruiser Gunship and is the
only remaining ship of its
type in the world. The ship
was built at the former Fore
River Shipyard where she is
now permanently moored
and on display.
"The ship is a terrific
family day trip," said Mi-
chael Condon, executive
director of the floating mu-
seum. "We have worked
very hard to make the ship
a fun opportunity for adults
and children alike."
The museum offers a
large number of hands-on
displays and the ship is set
up as though it is currently
at port awaiting orders to re-
turn to sea. The ship's pub-
lic address system is even
programmed to make an-
nouncements during the day
to complete the illusion of
an active duty naval vessel.
"What makes this such
a nice family day trip is the
hands-on nature of the mu-
seum and the sheer scale of
the ship," Condon said.
"This ship is enormous
and you can touch all the
displays; kids love it," said
Frank Campbell, the ship's
volunteer coordinator.
Located next to the ship is
Kilroy's Mini Golf, a minia-
ture golf course the museum
installed two years ago.
The museum has also
added a number of inter-
active opportunities this
past winter including a
ship's scavenger hunt and a
"Where is Kilroy?" contest.
Tours of the ship and its
museums can be escorted
or self-guided and admis-
sion is just $5 per person.
Families of four or more are
$20 and a combo pass which
adds a round of mini golf is
$3 more per person, or $10
more per family.
The ship is located at 739
Washington St., Quincy, just
off the Fore River Bridge
rotary, off of Route 3A.

rapher for several years after
his retirement.

taken by nine members of
the Photography Group.

landscapes, seascapes, flow-
er and animal photos taken
locally and throughout the
world.

JO COSTELLO, chairperson of the Wollaston Garden Club's
Civic Beautification Committee, has long been passionate
about improving all areas of the city, including its intersection
planters.
MIKE BURKE of the Quincy Park Department and Peter Horsford of the Wollaston (>arden
Club work at digging in one of the evergreen shrubs donated to the city by the garden club.
Wollaston Garden Club,
Park Department Work Together
To Plant Intersection Planters
The Wollaston Garden
Club and the Quincy Park
Department recently joined
forces to plant seven plant-
ers at the intersection of
Quincy Avenue and South-
ern Artery.
Participating in the beau-
tification effort were:
Mike Burke from the
Park Department and garden
club members Pat Artis, Jan
Clifford, Jo Costello, Peter
Horsford and Ruth Griffin.
The group worked in the
rain and mist to plant seven
planters which are anchored
currently with evergreens,
huchera and purple, yellow
and white annuals.
All plant material was
donated by the Wollaston
Garden Club.
Wollaston Garden Club
President Pat Artis and its
civic beautification chairper-
son, Jo Costello, identified
this site initially because of
its significance as an in im-
portant gateway to the city.
Both Mayor Tom Koch and
Park Department Director
Kristen Powers gave their
enthusiastic support.
In a proposal that the gar-
den club presented in April
to city officials, the long-
range plan would be for the
garden club to purchase,
design and plant a different
set of intersection planters f^
each year, and for the Park V^^ £S& p/JiPEl^ A /

Before the project gets

Insurance
STRATEGIES
by Jim SuHhran
WHIPPED OUT OF SHAPE
The Insurance Institute for
Highway Salety reports that ap-
proximately two milhon whip-
lash claims are filed annually.
An estimated 20(),(K)0 of these
whiplash injuries are serious
enough to cause long-term medi-
cal problems. Whiplash injuries,
in particular, result form the rapid
snapping back of a person's head
during a collision. These neck-
snapping injuries, which can ik-
cur at crash speeds as low as ten
miles per hour, hyperextend the
neck and damage nerves and liga-
ments. The best way to prevent a
whiplash injury is to position the
head restraint in your vehicle so
that the top of your ear horizon-
tally aligns with a point in the
middle of the head restraint, no
more than three inches away from
the back of your head.
Getting into a car accident can
be very traumatic on both a physi-
cal and emotional level. Whiplash
can cause physical symptoms that
last for many years after an acci-
dent. At JAMES J. SULLIVAN
INSURANCE AGENCY, we have
the policies and expertise to pro-
tect you and your loved ones. We
offer insurance for cars, trucks,
SUVs, and motorcycles. We can
also review the benefits of disabil-
ity coverage to you and your fam-
ily. Please call us 617-32X-K6(K)
if we can assist you. Our office
is located at 151 HanctKk Street.
Happy Fourth of July'.
Note: Neck injuries are tlie
most commonly reported type of
crash- related injury.

Hancock Park Rehabilitation

Welch Healthcare & Re-
tirement Group is breaking
new ground in its skilled
rehabilitation and nursing
centers.
"The organization is go-
ing green!" David Fasano,
corporate food services di-
rector and purchasing agent,
said. "We began to investi-
gate the benefits of initiat-
ing a green program about a
year ago. We were surprised
to learn that we are among
the first in our industry to
pursue this avenue."
"We have received tre-
mendous positive feedback
about our efforts," said Rich
Scully, housekeeping and
laundry supervisor for Han-
cock Park Rehabilitation &
Nursing Center and Allerton
House at Hancock Park.
"When we started using
a green floor product to re-
place the chemical stripper,
residents and staff com-
mented on the fact they were
no longer detecting a harsh
chemical odor and we are
very pleased to hear that."
Alan Brown, CEO, Sim-
plex Janitorial Supplies
in Sharon, said, "Welch

being more conscientious

about."

Fontbonne Academy Congratulates
Fiona Leung '09
f ' i"n ynyji^i $miiiKi
Winner of the 2009 Community Service Award by amassing nearly
1 ,000 hours of community service, Fiona Leung of Abington is headed
to The University of Rhode Island in the fall to study animal science, in
a Pre- Veterinary program, and to minor in marine biology. Highlights
of her Fontbonne career include being on the volleyball, swim and
tennis teams, and a member of the Equestrian Club and Instrumental
Ensemble.
"I believe Fontbonne's rigorous academics have prepared me well for
college. The supportive and friendly atmosphere helped me to develop
into a more confident person. I have learned to branch out and do
things that would challenge me. That is one of the reasons why I began
to volunteer at The New England Aquarium. I knew it would not be
easy, especially since my job there included giving presentations to large
groups of people. Going to Fontbonne has not only taught me to think
positively about myself and in everything I do, but also has helped me
develop leadership skills that I will need in the future."

Koch Says School Budget
Prevents Drastic Cuts
A level-funded $KI
million school budget plus
an influx of $4.3 million in
federal stimulus money will
prevent drastic education
cuts in the upcominjj fiscal
year, but City schools did
not escape the economic
crisis entirely unscathed.
Mayor Tom Koch said in a
statement 1 uesday.
The School Committee
unanimously approved a
series of about $2 million in
both cuts and fee increases to
cover a money gap between
the department's expected
$88.8 million actual budget
and the greater increase in
spending it would need to
maintain a full status quo.
Cuts include 16 teaching
positions, 20 support staff
positions, and an extension
of the distance required for
free school bus transportation
from three-quarters of a mile
away from a school to a full
mile.
Koch, who also serves
as chairman of the School
Committee, praised his
colleagues for working
together and developing
creative solutions that
forestalled the devastating
loss of teachers and
programs suffered by many
other communities amid the
ongoing economic crisis.
"These were honest,
tough decisions, and every
single school committee
member deserves credit for
doing everything possible to
protect the core classrtuim
services that make our
schools among the best in
the state," Koch said. "No
one sat on the sidelines and
complained. Hver)b()d)
rolled up their sleeves,
worked together, and the end
result was a plan that made
the best out of a challenging
situation."
Koch said the decisions
were not made in a vacuum,
saying the committee
listened to the concerns
raised by parents, students,
and employees during
budget talks. For example,
a proposal to eliminate
foreign language classes in
the middle school entirely
was instead reduced by six
teachers after committee
members listened to students
and parents.
The series of fees
approved by the school
committee included a 25-
cent increase for school
lunches, and increase in
high school athletic fees.
a new $15 fee for middle
school athletics, increases
in school rental fees, and a
$20 fee for extracurricular
activities. ofHcials said.
Koch said the increases
in the school budget are
triggered by negotiated
raises, other fixed increases,
and a recjuired increase in
special education funding
W hile city teachers have not
accepted a wage freeze this
>ear like most other unions,
the mayor still credited them
with helping lead the drive
to join the state's heath
insurance program, the
GIC.
fhe new insurance
program, which takes effect
July I. will save about $10
million for the city, which
the mayor said "without
question prevented further
cuts in the schools and other
departments."
The School Committee's
budget talks were led by
Budget Subcommittee
Chairman Ronald Mariano,
a state representative who
said he hoped the state's
economic picture would
improve in coming years,
but added that difficult times
are still looming for schools
and all other city services.

A Job Well Done
On Tuesday, June 16, at approximately 7 p.m.. Offi-
cer Matt Patten and other officers responded to the area
of 1056 Sea St. on the re-
port of two vans, one red
and the other black, intention-
ally ramming each other.
The witness/caller said that
both vans pulled over in the
1100 block of Sea Street.
Officer Dave Zupkofska,
Sergeant Greg Goyette and
Officer Patten located the ve-
hicles and noted that the black
van, occupied by a male, had
heavy front-end damage. A
male was sitting in the red van,
and there was heavy damage
to its rear.
Officer Zupkofska interviewed the driver of the
black van while Officer Patten spoke with the driver of
the red van. The officers then determined that a deal to
sell a boat trailer went bad between the two men and as
they were driving towards each other on Rockland Street
in Hough's Neck, the driver of the black van yelled some-
thing at him. The red van driver looked in his rear view
mirror and saw that the black van made U-turn and was
now behind him traveling at a high rate of speed.
The red van driver said he pulled over on Sea Street,
hoping that the other driver would drive past him. The
black van then drove up behind the red van and rammed
it, forcing the red van forward several feet. The black van
backed up and rammed the van again. The red van driver
then drove off a short distance to where he lived, chased
by the black van driver.
The victim then parked and as he exited his van,
the suspect ran towards him. pulled the door open
and punched the victim several times in the face. Based
on information from both drivers as well as the caller/
witness, the driver of the black van, a 53 year old Quincy
resident, was charged with. "Assault and Battery with a
Dangerous Weapon" (motor vehicle)
Nice Work!
□
BEWARE: On Thursday. June 11 . at approximately
9:50 a.m.. Officer Paul Foley interviewed a 92-year-old
female victim, who stated that she finished shopping at
Roche Brothers Supermarket and wanted the Police to
know about a strange incident.
She said that she returned to her car, got in and was
approached by two females knocking at her car window.
She added that. "Before 1 knew it, one of the females
got in the front passenger seat and the other in the rear
seat."
The rear seat suspect told the victim that they had just
found a purse containing $300,000 and spoke with an at-
torney who told them that the cash was from horse rac-
ing profits. The suspect asked the victim if she wanted
$ 100,000 worth of the cash.
The victim was very frightened and infimidated by the
suspect's behavior, so she asked them to leave her alone.
One of the suspects asked the victim for her phone num-
ber and she complied. At this point, the suspects exited
the vehicle and disappeared.
The vicfim checked her purse and confirmed that
nothing was missing. The victim described one of the
suspects as a 55 to 60 year old white female, weighing
about 160 pounds.
IN THIS CASE; the victim is 92 years old, but no
matter what age, there are safeguards that should be tak-
en to prevent such an incident from occurring.
Firstly, being aware of your surroundings often reduc-
es the chances of becoming a victim. As you near your
car, look around for suspicious people in your general
area, have your keys ready, with the alarm button acces-
sible, and once inside your car, be sure to lock the doors.
Another opfion would be to sound the horn continuously
to draw the attention of other citizens.

Davis Asks City To Take Action
On Unfinished Willard St- Building
Ward Four Councillor
Jay Davis has asked Mayor
Tom Koch and the city to
take an aggressive position
to compel the owner of 453
Willard St. to either com-
plete construction of the
building or sell the building
to a motivated buyer who
will complete the project.
"For more than a year the
building has been an eye-
sore for neighbors." Davis
said. "There is no move-
ment on the construction of
the building and it is time
for the city be aggressive in
it's handling of this project.
The owner must be forced
to finish the building or sell
the building to someone
who will finish it."
The building was origi-
nally permitted in 2007 for
the construction of 20 Con-
dominiums.
Prior to being permit-
ted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals, the developer met
with neighbors and Davis.
The neighbors supported
the projected because the
developer, Beaver Creak
Development, was going
to demolish two unsightly
buildings and construct new
condominiums.
However, Davis said,
after the unsightly proper-
ties were demolished, the
site work was completed,
and the frame of the build-
ing was built, construction
on the project stopped in the

spring of 2008.
In a letter to Koch, Davis
requested a meeting with
the city's Solicitor, direc-
tor of Inspectional Services
and treasurer to establish a
plan and timetable to force
the developer to complete
the building or force a sale
of the land by way of a tax
taking.
Real estate taxes on the
building have not been for
more than a year and the
City is owed approximately
$10,000 in back taxes, Da-
vis said.
"I have been monitor-
ing the progress of the con-
struction and I keep being
told different stories about
the construction schedule,"
Davis said. Davis recently
reviewed the title on the
building through the Regis-
try of Deeds on-line direc-
tory and learned that two
sub contractors have field
mechanic liens were filed.
Davis said that is an in-
dication that there are issues
relative to the payment of
contractors.
Davis also said he has
met and discussed the proj-
ect with local trade unions
to gage their interest in
working with the City and
to complete the construc-
tion of the project.
"If we work together
on this project and provide
a united front, we may be
able to convince the current
mortgage holder to work
with us to finish the proj-
ect and sell the condos to
first-time homebuyers in the
Quincy.
"We can also look to
funds from the City's Af-
fordable Housing trust to
make this happen. Regard-
less of what can be done by
the City, we need to have
this eyesore removed from
be aggressive and get the
building finished." Davis
added.
Keep this \n mind, some-
thmg that can be easily
overlooked when a family
is attempting to pack, load
the car and exit the home for
vacation. Make certain the
bathroom ceiling vent fan is
off when leaving the home.
It's a little known cause of
fire while it (xcurs frequent-
ly enough to hilite here. We
had a rash of them in the
recent past when they were
left running for extended
periods of time, overheat-
ing, igniting the plastic con-
tents, structural members
and more. So if you make
that one last walkthrough to
check on closet lights and
appliances like 1 do. check
on the bathroom ceiling fan
as well and make certain it
is turned off before leaving
the home.
If traveling out of state,
and renting a home, consid-
er bringing along your own
carbon monoxide detector.
A plug in with a battery
backup would be appropri-
ate where it can be easily
installed and removed once
you leave.
Nicole's Law applies
to this state while I can-
not speak for the rules and
regulations of other states
Massachusetts tends to be
pretty strict while 1 doubt
other states are up to our
standards where we no'A
require carbon monoxide
detectors within residences
Carbon monoxide knows no
boundaries and can just as
easily occur in a vacation
home utilizing fossil fuel
appliances. wtK>d stoves and
alike. Consider this easy so-
lution.
You might consider do-
ing the same with a smoke
detector. When making ar-
rangements . fev\ of us would
ever ask whether the home
contains smoke detectors
Right'.' So if you haven't
asked, consider bringing
along your own to be stra-
tegically placed as high as
possible, either near the
base of a stairwell or outside
sleeping areas.
Whenever the familv
•I
and 1 arrive for an overnight
stay at a hotel, motel or
guesthouse, I make a point
of scouting out the premise
to determine exit locations.
My wife is use to me com-
ing back into the room and
sharing my prefire evacu-
ation plan. I'm not quite
certain she actually listens
while 1 believe she's con-
tent knowing emergency ar-
rangements have been made
if needed As 1 have said so
often, the time to prepare for
an emergency isn't during
one Take the time to exam-
ine your evacuation options
while lodging at a resort
Remember, elevators must
not be used during a hre;
consequently, take the time
to familiarize )()urself with
your accommodations and
various alternative means of
exiting a building
1 wnte these and some-
times wonder if it appears
that I'm alwa\s anticipating
a tragedv Don't forget m\
job IS to attempt to minimize
as many potentially tragic
cKcurrences as time and en-
erg\ allow, before they can
manifest The fact is. I'm a
true believer in doing w hat's
Within your control, and
letting the rest happen \Ve
have far less control than we
realize
Prepare for a great safe
summer, do your homework,
act on it, and leave plenty of
lighthearted thought to en-
joy it.
Have a great vacation!

Solutions To Help Homeowners
Outsmart Mother Nature
Betrayed by
the Caulk
that was
cleaned away
some mildew
was around my tub
on the old caulking. I
rinsed it well and let it
dry for 24 hours, then I
caulked around the tub.
The next day after show-
ering when I was drying
the tile and caulking,
it started to peel away
like a thin strip of vinyl.
Could you tell me what I
might have done wrong?
- Jan S., Quincy, Mass.
A^ My first thought is
• that the old caulk-
ing is a different type than
the new. If, for example,
the old caulking was sil-
icone-based, and the new
caulking is not, then the
new caulking will not ad-
here to the old.
The best way to re-
caulk is to completely
remove the old caulking.
This is certainly not easy,
but you can purchase
silicone caulk remover at
your home-improvement
store and follow the direc-
tions. Scrape away stub-
bom spots with a putty
knife or a box cutter.
Sand the area well - this
removes more residual
silicone caulk and rough-
ens up the caulking area a
bit, which may help new
caulk adhere. Then clean
the area thoroughly again
(including using mildew
remover) and let dry 24
hours before applying a
new bead of caulk.
If you use silicone
caulk, this stuff can be
messy, difficult to press
into the seam and hard
to clean up afterward.
Try masking off the area
to be caulked with blue
painter's tape, wear dis-
posable latex gloves so
you can press the stuff in,
and clean your fingers fre-
quently. If a blob of caulk
falls into the tub, clean it
up immediately.
HOME TIP: When
recaulking a sink or tub,
fill the basin with water
first, then drain after the
caulk has set. The wa-
ter's weight will open the
seams a bit more to allow
the caulk to fill the seam
better.

(ARA) - Protecting your
home means you're pitted in
a constant struggle against
the forces of nature. Prod-
ucts and improvements that
help you beat the weather
are a smart investment.
Look for "weather beat-
er" products that are low
maintenance or that provide
solutions to harsh climates
and moisture. Remember,
weather damage can occur
in any season, whether it's
from hot or freezing tem-
peratures, driving rains or
rising flood waters.
First line of defense
Water damage can hap-
pen to any home in an in-
stant, ruining valuable elec-
tronics or priceless family
heirlooms. Even if you're
not in a flood zone, it is wise
to invest in a main sump and
battery backup pump.
"When storms hit or
snow melts off, the ground
gets over saturated and the
water can enter your home,"
says Tony Ferrante, vice
president sales and market-
ing, Wayne Water Systems.
"Sump pump systems are
easy to install and provide
years of worry-free service."
And, he advises, if you're in
a water-prone area, the sump
pump should have a reliable
battery backup pump, since
power tends to go out during
storms. For removing stand-
ing water in an emergency,
such as pipes bursting or a
sink or washing machine
overflowing, utility pumps
also come in handy. Many
are portable and submers-
ible.
A complete basement
protection system is a minor
investment compared to the
extensive damage water can
do to property and sentimen-
tal items that can't be re-
placed. It is your first line of
defense to protect your big-
gest investment: your home.

com for more information or
go to amazon.com and key

Decks that endure
Moisture can be your
deck's worst enemy if it's
made of wood or has wood
content. Decking and porch
materials are available that
have the rich looks of wood,
but are resistant to mois-
ture, insects and freeze/
thaw conditions. The home
exterior experts at AZEK
Building Products say the
latest innovations are cel-
lular PVC deck boards and
porch planks that stand up
to weather with a durable,
natural looking surface.
"It resists any type of
food stains you can dish
out, including red wine and
barbecue sauce," says Brian
Kincaid of AZEK Building
Products. He cautions to al-
ways ask for a code report
for any decking product,
since many building permits
require this.
An outdoor haven with
classic looks
Rain or hot sun does not
have to limit your outdoor
enjoyment. Enhance your
entryway or backyard with
a beautifully crafted per-
gola featuring rain-resistant
or waterproof canopies in a
range of colors and designs
to add comfort and protec-
tion from weather.
For example, Walpole
Woodworkers features per-
golas in natural wood or
low-maintenance cellular
PVC to withstand the ele-
ments. With the added op-
tion of a manual or motor-
driven retractable canopy,
homeowners can enjoy
shelter from rain, UV-rays
and even add privacy with
retractable side panels. The
company offers free pergola
or canopy design consulta-
tions at (800) 343-6948 or
w WW. walpolewood workers,
com.
Caulk goes above and
beyond
Water damage and en-
ergy leaks can threaten your
home and drain your wallet.
Caulk delivers more bang
for the buck than expensive
technologies like solar, ac-
cording to a March 6, 2009
Wall Street Journal article.
A third of the energy loss in
homes could be stopped by
simple caulking and insulat-
ing, the article says.
One way to head off
moisture or beat extreme
temperatures is to buy the
best caulk you can find.
"Caulk is easy to apply
and can result in up to 20
percent savings on utility
bills," says Jason Ringling
of Red Devil.
Homeowners who want
to protect their homes, in-
crease resale value or enjoy
low-maintenance exteriors
can make sound product
choices now, rather than pay
big bucks to repair problems
later. It is possible to stay
one step ahead of Mother
Nature.

Manage Stress For Summer Sanity
(ARA) - The summer
season brings about visions
of relaxing vacations, back-
yard barbecues and kids rid-
ing bicycles. These scenes
hardly invoke tension, yet
summer always arrives with
its share of stress.
Dr. John Roncone, chair
of the Allied Health depart-
ment at Brown Mackie Col-
lege-North Canton in North
Canton, Ohio, offers advice
for creating a smooth transi-
tion between seasons.
Exercise
Physical activity is es-
pecially easy to do during
the summer when warmer
weather expands options. "It
doesn't matter if you choose
to walk, jog, bike, hike
or swim," says Roncone.
"Physical activity is condu-
cive to good health."
Eat a healthy diet
Stay away from high fat
foods. Roncone suggests
eating fruit instead of ice
cream, and celery and car-
rots instead of a chocolate
bar.
Manage time well
Watching TV, sleeping
and even shopping can be
time killers, especially if
done to excess. "Use time
wisely," says Roncone.
"Within your daily structure,
find time to relax and evalu-
ate the day's activities."
Release anger a healthy
way
Roncone advises to rec-
ognize anger for what it is.
"Don't be afraid of it. Think
things through before you
speak or act with an angry
response. Counting to 10
can help you calm down,"
he says.
Be more optimistic
"Look at the glass as half
full, not half empty," Ron-
cone says. "When we're not
expecting the worst, we tend
to feel better."
Smile
It's contagious. When
someone smiles at you, it's
nearly impossible not to
smile back.
It can also be helpful
to post emergency phone
numbers on the refrigerator.
Make sure family members
know where the first aid kit
is, and include instructions
on what to do for common
maladies like bee stings or
scuffed knees. By address-
ing the changes in schedule,
you and your family will be
more likely see a healthy
and productive summer.

A SMILE AS YOUTHFUL AS YOUR FACE
Interestingly, the American ing" the real you, it's time for a
Dental Association notes that
teeth were "designed" to last only
about 30 years, which means
they may need help in keeping
up appearances. Aside from the
usual problems of decay and
discobration, older adults face
ottier potential problems that can
undercut the youthfulness of their
smiles. For instance, the incisors
(or canines) wear down as the
years pass, leaving less enamel
exposed t)eiow the upper fip
wtien a person smiles. Moreover,
teeti drift toward the center of the
mouth as the bone and tissues
that hold them in place weaken
wHh age. As a result teeth can
appear crowded and unevenly
dislribuled. Fortunately, there are
cosmetic prooedixes available
that can hefp restore a smile's
youMulness.

STEMMING FROM THE NECK
When any of the seven cer- TICE OF CHIROPRACTIC sug-
vical vertebrae that comprise the
neck experience misalignment
(called "subluxation"), one might
expect the pain to be localized.
Yet, misalignment of the cervical
vertebrae may also cause organic
disorders such as headache; mi-
graine; dizziness; deafness; si-
nus trouble; and other problems
involving the head, neck, shoul-
ders, and the tissues and organs
contained therein. This is due to
the fact that nerve roots emerge
through spaces in the cervical
vertebrae, providing the nerve
energy that controls blood supply
to the brain, function of the ears,
and the working of various other
organs and processes in the head
and upper body. If this nerve en-
ergy were to be impeded, it might
result in the organic disorders
listed above.
Let us at FAMILY PRAC-
gest some types of chiropractic
care to improve your pain. We
are specially trained to determine
the best treatment for your needs.
Chiropractic is a natural method
of health care that addresses the
causes of physical problems rath-
er than just the symptoms. Profes-
sional chiropractic care is one of
the best ways to manage, or pre-
vent spinal problems and main-
tain a healthier life. We are locat-
ed at 1 12 McGrath Hwy., Quincy,
where we will (Mily accept you as
a patient if we feel we can help
you. Please call 617.472.4220 to
schedule an appointment.
PS.: Because nerve energy
controls a wide variety of the
body's organs and systems, the
chiropractor may be able to suc-
cessfully treat problems that in-
volve the extremities and other
areas than simply the spine.

Ihe excitement of sum-
mer's arrival has everyone
rushing outdoors.
Before heading to camp-
grounds, hiking trails, or
even the back yard Paul
Sax, MD, clinical director
of the Infectious Disease
Department at Brigham and
Women's Hospital (BWH),
encourages everyone to take
precautions to decrease the
risk of contracting Lyme
disease.
In the U.S., Lyme disease
is spread when a person is
bitten by a deer tick, which
averages about the size of
a pinhead. Lyme disease
is most effectively treated
in its early stages, but the
best strategy is prevention,
says Dr. Sax, who can pro-
vide additional information
on Lyme disease and some
basic tips on how to prevent
contraction.
To prevent tick bites
Dr. Sax suggests consider-
ing these tips before head-
ing outdoors to wooded ar-
eas and locations with high
grass:
Wear long-sleeved shirts
and long pants when pos-
sible.
Carefully follow safety
instructions to use an in-
sect repellent containing
DEBT on exposed skin and
Permanone, a pesticide, on
clothing.
Keep grass cut short and
consider hiring a licensed
professional to spray a pes-
ticide in the yard.
Be sure to thoroughly
check for ticks when return-
ing indoors; enlisting the
help of another is most ef-
fective.
Pay close attention to
check children and pets for
ticks whenever they return
from the outdoors.
If you do find a tick,
remove it with tweezers,
being sure to remove the
insect entirely, including the
head and mouth. In addition,
see a doctor immediately if
symptoms of Lyme disease
appear. If the tick was en-
gorged, or likely attached
for more than 24 hours,
your doctor can prescribe a
single dose of antibiotics to
prevent Lyme disease.
Symptoms of Lyme dis-
ease occur in three stages
and include:
Early localized infection:
A rash which spreads from
the site of the tick bite, flu-
like symptoms, fever, chills,
fatigue, and muscle aches
are initial signs of the dis-
ease.
The most common sites
for the rash are areas where
ticks like to attach: armpit,
groin, behind the knee, hair-
line, and top of the socks.
Early disseminated infec-
tion: Exhaustion, the inabil-
ity to control the muscles of
the face, pain and weakness
of the arms and legs, recur-
ring headaches and fainting
spells, additional rashes, and
poor memory and ability to

any combination.
Late persistent infections:
Severe fatigue, numbness
of the hands, feet, or back,
problems with memory and
speech, irregular moods
and sleep patterns, and se-
vere arthritis, especially of
the knees, characterize the
spread of Lyme disease and
potential for severe damage
to the joints, nerves, and
brain.
Dr. Sax recommends
seeing a doctor if any symp-
toms occur, and even if the
symptoms subside, because
it is common for those in-
fected with Lyme disease
to be symptom-free for
months, even years after be-
ing bitten.

Morhsette Finished Week at 3-1
Quincy Post 95 Knocks
Off Morrisette 101 Last
Wednesday at Adams Field
I Sun Sports
By SEAN BRENNAN
District 6 Hast American
Legion baseball in Qmn-
cy, with no real help from
Mother Nature, has been
plugging along at an almost
daily pace since the second
week of June.
Last Wednesday night,
the two Quincy teams, Mor-
risette and Quincy Legion
Post 95. matched up at Ad-
ams Field for the first of
two games this season, and
Quincy came away with an
impressive 10-1 victory.
The win was the first of the
year for Quincy Legion ( 1 -7
overall).
Morrisette (5-4 overall)
finished last week with a 7-5
win over Stoughton, an 8-4
win over Cohasset, the 10- 1
loss to Quincy and a 9-6 vic-
tory over Braintree.
The star of the Morrisette-
Quincy Post 95 showdown
was Quincy 's starting pitch-
er Scott Warwick. Warwick
went the distance on the hill
(seven innings), striking out
12 batters. His performance
earned his team its first vic-
tory of 2009 and it handed
Morrisette its worst loss of
the season.
Keith Morreale (3-for-4,
three doubles, two RBI) and
Matt Jay (3-for-5) were the
offensive stars of the game
for Quincy Post 95.
I he loss to Quincy Post
95 was the only blemish on
the schedule last week tor
Mt)rrisette Legion as the
team rebounded later in the
week with an impressive 9-6
win over Braintree Legion.
Starting pitcher Ryan Lou-
is picked up his second win
of the week (he was the win-
ning pitcher in the 7-5 victo-
ry over Stoughton). pitching
five innings, allowing six hits
and striking out one batter.
He allowed two earned runs.
Pat Joyce and Jimmy Vial-
pando came in as relief and
closed out Braintree over the
final two innings.
Morrisette got its of-
fense going early against
Braintree. scoring four runs
in the first, three runs in the
second and two runs in the
fourth inning. In the first.
Colin Ryan singled. John
Ainsley walked and Matt
Rodriquez (four RBI) drove
them both in with a triple.
Ricky Salvucci (four RBI)
scored Rodriquez with an
RBI groundout, reaching
base on a throwing error and
Kevin Magoon plated Sal-
vucci with a RBI hit later in
the frame.
The three-run second got
started with a walk to lead-
off hitter Danny Russell.
Russell stole second and
after Ryan singled both ad-
vanced into scoring position
on a groundout by Ainsley
Rodriquez scored both run-
ners with a double and Sal-
vucci plated Rodriquez with
a RBI triple
Morrisette finished up the
scoring in the fourth. Russell
walked; Ryan singled; and
Salvucci drove them both in
with a two-out hit.
"It was a good win. espe-
cially coming off that tough
loss to Quincy." said Mor-
risette's Bill Marchand. "We
had them down, so we let
Joyce and Vialpando pilch
those last two innings, but
again, Ryan Louis was great
for us.
"We are playing some
good ball right now and our
hitting has started to come
around. With the pitching
we have been getting and
with t)ur bats heating up,
things are looking good."
Morrisette received six
strong innings from Joe
Edgerly against Cohasset as
the team won 8-4. Edgerly
finished with five strikeouts
and allowed four earned
runs.
Notes: Morrisette was
scheduled to play against
Weymouth. Jamaica Plain,
Hoi brook and Hyde Park Le-
gion this week. Any games
that are rained-out will be
made up at a later date.

Report
ARIES (March 2f to April
19) A change of season rein-
vigorates the Lamb, helping to
overcome the effects of a recent
slower-paced period. This is a
good time to restate your feel-
ings for that certain someone.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You might not like using
your authority to correct a work-
place situation, but that's what
being placed in charge is all
about. Besides, you have people
ready to lend support if need be.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Your creativity continues to
run high and helps guide you to
make some fine choices in the
work you're doing. Keep the
weekend free for those special
people in your life.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Don't be surprised if you
experience a sudden spurt of
energy strong enough to pull
you out of that recent period of
indecision and put you back in
charge of your own goals.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
This is a good time for Leos and
Leonas to set new goals regard-
ing health, educational choices
and possible career moves. The
plans you make now could be a
blueprint for your future.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) You might have much
to offer a potential employer, but
it can all be overwhelmed by too
many details. Let the facts about
you speak for themselves with-
out any embellishments.
LIBRA (September 23 to Oc-
tober 22) This is a good week to
balance your responsibilities to
your workaday worid with your
obligations to the people in your
private life. Expect news that
could lead to a change in plans.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) A changing at-
titude on the part of a once de-
termined adversary could cause
changes down the line. Be pre-
pared to take advantage of an
unexpected new opportunity.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21 ) You'd be a
truly wise Sagittarius to be skep-
tical about an offer that doesn't
answer all your questions. Even
a colleague's testimonial doesn't
replace facts that aren't there.
CAPRICORN ( December 22
to January 19) It's a good idea to
avoid spending on unnecessary
purchases this week in order to
keep a money reserve against a
possible upcoming (but, fortu-
nately, temporary) shortfall.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) More information
is what you should demand re-
garding that workplace sitiiation
that recently came to light. Don't
be surprised at who might turn
up as one of your supporters.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You might still be in
a "treading water" mode, but by
midweek, a shift in your aspect
favors taking a more active role
in pushing for the changes you
feel are necessary. Good luck.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
exude a warm, caring attitude
that comforts everyone who
comes into your life.

Courtesy indicates good manners.
It involves equal consideration for all
people alike, regardless of status or
importance ... or area or location. And
this certainly holds true on streets and
SCOTT DEWARE highways. Quite often, good manners
are shelved and ignored in the driving habits of people who
otherwise are fairly well-mannered. . . Yon see this in drivers
squeaUng cars past slower motorists. . . You see this in the
blasting of horns the second the light turns green. . . You see
it in gestures and words of retaliation when bad manners of
one induces bad manners in another. Bad manners probably
cause as many accidents in driving as any other cause.
On holiday week-ends, especially when traffic is heavy,
good driving manners are really needed. . . Giving the other
fellow a break by means of common courtesy can definitely
reduce traffic accidents which cause so much human misery
- and property damage. Courtesy on the road has NEVER
- nor will it ever degrade a driver. . .
How courteous a driver are you? . . .

'Key Milestones' In His Campaign
Roos: at Is Critical To Have The Best
People We Can On The School Committee'
School Committee can-
didate Matt Lockwood
Mullaney announced key
milestones in his campaign
Tuesday, less than two
months after announcing his
candidacy in April.
In a statement to The
Quincy Sun, Lockwood
Mullaney said:
"My papers are filed and
I have a gocxi start on fund-
raising with $3J>00 in the
bank.
"I'm going door to door,
visiting PTOs and senior res-
idences, and reaching out to
parents, teachers, principals,
and voters of all stripes."
Lockwood Mullaney also
said he is very happy with
the response his campaign is
getting from voters.
"I'm very happy with the
response so far to the Schools
fit for Presidents message,"
he stated. "People like my
focus on education quality
and my independence. With
my education and business
background, voters know
I'll be a quick study and will
manage the finances of the
district responsibly.
"I'm going to keep cam-
paigning hard all summer,
with a break in August when
Jenny and I are expect-
ing our third child. With a
mayor's race, many voters
will come to the polls. I'm
working to earn one of their
three votes on Sept. 22 and
Nov. 3"
If there is a primary elec-
tion for School Committee,
it would be held Tuesday,
Sept. 22. At least seven can-
didates are needed for a pri-
mary election.
The city's general elec-
tion is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

school committee recently.
"SchtxM committee had
some tough decisions to
make. People spoke pas-
sionately about the benefits
of middle school foreign
language and the safety con-
cerns associated with raising
the limit for free bus trans-
port from three-quarters to
1 mile.
"Looking ahead, the
big question is what hap-
pens next year," he said.
"That's when we'll need
new ideas to save money
and improve quality, which
is why I pledged $4,500 of
my salary if I win to make
sure QPS leadership has ac-
cess to the input of super-
intendents around the state
through MASS (Mass. As-

Editor 's Note: Karl Roos,
a candidate for Quincy
School Committee, submit-
ted the following letter for
publication.
The Quincy Public
Schools are important to
all the people of Quincy. To
the parents who send their
children to the schools; to
home owners, the better the
schools, the better the prop-
erty values, and to people
who live in Quincy, good
schools help attract and re-
tain good neighbors.
It is critical that we have
good candidates running for
School Committee. We need
candidates who can face the
challenges that will be con-
fronting our schools. The
fiscal situation does not look
bright in the coming years.
We are facing the prospect
of cuts; difficult decisions
are going to have to be
made. It won't be easy.
Given the environment
that we are in, it is critical to
have the best people we can
on the School Committee.
We need people who
are vested in the schools
and in the corrimunity. We
need people with a history
of accomplishing things for
the community. We need
people with roots in the city.
We need smart, honest hard
working people with expe-
rience, who are willing to
make the commitment, do
the work and solve the prob-
lems that the School Com-
mittee will face.
I encourage people will-
ing to make the commitment
and the sacrifices to join the
race. 1 believe in competi-
tion, it fosters discussion and
provokes thought; it forces
all of us to work harder ad
produce better results.
Running a citywide cam-
paign is not an easy under-
taking and is not something
that should be taken lightly
but it is important that we
have the best field of candi-
dates for the three seats that
are up for School Commit-
tee. Everyone benefits from
sting candidates running.

City of Quincy, Massachusetts
Office of the Mayor
iOdcome to d^lstotlc Q^uincu!
It is an honor to introduce The Quincy Sun's ''Historic Quincy'' supplement as a guide to all
things historic about our proud City of Presidents, especially in a year when our community will
celebrate the renewal of some of our most important treasures.
I know you will find ''Historic Quincy" helpful as you discover all of our City's history — The
Adams National Historic Park and presidential homestead; the United First Parish Church, the
final resting place for John, John Quincy, Abigail and Louisa Catherine Adams; the Hancock Cem-
etery; the Adams Academy and Quincy Historical Society; our granite and shipbuilding heritage,
and so much more.
This summer, we will rededicate the Abigail Adams Cairn, a 113-year-old monument recently re-
constructed with its original stones that marks the location where Abigail and young John Quincy
Adams watched the Battle of Bunker Hill across Boston Harbor in 1775.
Construction will also finish on the long-awaited formal garden at Merrymount Park, a park
originally envisioned by Charles Francis Adams II, a grandson of John Q. Adams and the donor of
the land to the City, as a peaceful and beautiful place for the entire community to enjoy. I am proud
to say that vision will become reality this summer.
Beyond our wonderful history, I hope you will enjoy all Quincy has to offer. Our miles of scenic
beaches. Our acres of beautiful parkland. 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

up as equal partners in one of histor^i s

First Father And Son Presidents
Birthplaces Of John And John Quincy Adams
They could be called two of the old-
est houses in America, although nc^ 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 original
material remains.
When the cottage at 133 Franklin
St. was restored by the Daughters of
the Revolution in 18^)7. 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
evidenced 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
farmlands some 10 miles south of the
Boston Stone along the winding Coast
Road to Plymouth.
Something less than 1.500 people
lived in the North. Middle and South Pre-
cincts of Braintree in the year 1735 and
two of them were Deacon John Adams.
44, farmer and shoemaker, and his wife.
Susanna, 26, residents of what is now
133 Franklin St.
THE ADAMS BIRTHPLACES, where John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams, the Second and
Sixth Presidents of the United States, were born, is the only location in the country where two Presi-
dential birthplaces stand side-by-side. It is a National Historical Site under the supervision of the U.S.
National Park Service. Quinc[j Sun Photo/Robert Noble
He was a pillar of his rural commu-
nity, a deacon in First Parish Church, a
lieutenant in the Braintree militia, a town
constable and hard-working farmer who
worked in leather in the wintertime and
was acknowledged as the maker of the
best cider in town.
Susanna Adams was a Boylston of
Brookline, socially a cut above her hus-
band, and perhaps there were moments

Their first child, a son who was named
John for his father, was born in the
southeast bedroom of the farmhouse
on Oct. 19, 1735 (Old Style). He would
become the second president of the
United States.
Deacon John purchased the house
next door, now 141 Franklin St., along
with its 9 1/2 acres of farmland from the
Billings brothers, for ,500 pounds in 1744
and it was ready 20 years later when
young John moved in with his brand
new bride, the former Abigail Smith, the
preachers sparking daughter from the
next town of Weymouth.
Their second child, a son who was
named John Quincy Adams after his
great-grandfather. Col. John Quincy,
was born there on July 11. 1767. He
would become the Sixth President of the
United States.

According to Henry Adams, grandsor
of President John Quincy Adams, nc
member of the family lived in the cottagee
after 1818, although ownership renuiinec
in the Adams family until 1940.
Both houses were restored by the Ad
ams Realty Tmst, the John Quincy Adam'
Birthplace in 1896 at a cost of $1.6,5C
and the John Adams Birthplace a yeai
later at an expense of $.51,5.49.
They were presented to the city oi
Quincy in 1940 and supervised by the
Quincy Historical Society until they were
turned over to the U. S. National Parl^
Service on May 1, 1979.
For more than 80 years they were
the little red farmhouses at the foot oi
Penn s Hill but research launched by the
National Park Service turned up the fad
that Abigail wanted them "stone" anc
white in color and what Abigail wantec
Abigail got.
In the summer of 1980, during a si>
year $175,000 reconstruction project
the John Quincy Adams Birthplace wa^
repainted to Abigails taste, the "stone"
color determined to be a sort of off-white,
mixed especially from a late 18th centun,
formula.
The John Adams Birthplace wae
painted white, but later research indicatec
it was unpainted.
The houses are furnished with precise
reproductions of those that were in the
them when the second president livec
there. The originals are at the Old House
the Adams National Historical Site, frorr
which they cannot be removed under the
ownership agreement with the Adams
family.
The most interesting room in the Johr
Quincy Adams Birthplace is John Adams
old law office, in which the elder Adams
James Bowdoin and Samuel Adams
drafted the Massachusetts State Constitu-
tion on which the U. S. Constitution was
modeled.

'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
retirement.
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 reaching
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 austere
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 Revolu-
tion, abandoned the house to leave with
the British forces when they evacuated
Boston 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 Ad-
ams, then in Europe as the first American
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 daughter,
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 "Peace-
field," after his retirement from the
presidency in 1801 and lived there until
they died.
It was from the "Old House." as the

on his long and increasingly warm cor-
respondence 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 Julv 4. 1826, the 50th anni-
versary of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
The Old House which served as sum-
mer White House for two presidents, was
home to four generations of the Adams

Distinguished Service From Age 14 To 80
John Quincy Adams: 6th President And A Lot More
By TOM HENSHAW
When he v^as 14 years (^Id. 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 scjn of Jolm Adams
was already a veteran diplomat, having
seivcd 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 txfucation he received in France.
Holland. Russia and England allowed him
to enter Hai"vard 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
presidency in 1825-29 to his deatli on
the floor of Congress in 1848.
Like his father before him. John
Quincy Adams was defeated for a sec-
ond 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
important post as minister to Prussia amid
cries of nepotism that embarrassed the
30-year-old John Quincy dreadfully but
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
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
torpedoed his first love. Mary Frazier of
Newburypi.;rt.
His father fired him as minister to Prus-
sia to spare him another embarrassment
of being fired by his successor. Thomas
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
Icgi-ilature as a Federalist, liis father\ 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
alienated both Federalists and Democrat-
Republicans by speaking up for the
Louisiana Purchase and voting against
creation of the Louisiana Territory.
He finally emerged as a Democrat-
Republican in 1808 after the f-^ritish
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 appease 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
responded. '1 could wish to please my
parents — 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 1. the
one who halted Napoleon "s march on
Moscow, hit it off so well that the Rus-
sian ruler offered to be godfather to John
Quincy's first daughter. Louisa Catherine.
but the offer was refused.
Always eivailable. Adams the ultimate
negotiator was next called (jn to chair the
American delegation to Ghent in Belgiuru
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. JcUiies M(jnroe.
meant a new job for Jolm Quincy. who
was named secretary of state in 1 8 1 7 at a
time when their colonies in Latin Amenca
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
Treaty, under which Gen. Andrew Jack-
son s attacks on tlie Seminole Indians in
Spanish Florida were justified and the
whcjie peninsula ceded to the t)nited
States in exchange for a settlement of
the boundaw between Mexico and the
Louisiana Purchase.
Five strcjng candidates — all DenKJcrat-
Republicans — emerged for the 1824
presidential race.
There was Henry Clay, the speaker of
the House; William Crawford, the secre-

Hancock Cemetery
Where Patriots, Early Settlers, Intrigue Rest
Honry. the first AcKinis in
Quincy. is buried there. S<-)
is the Rev. John Hancock,
father of the first signer of
[he Declaration of Independence. And
Colonel John Quincy. for whom the city
IS named.
But of all the 800 graves in the Han
:ock Cemetery, the Old Buiying Ground
jf Colonial Quincy. most intriguing is
Dne marked by a tombstone bearing this
_~ryptic epitaph:
Erected to the memory of John R.
Grieve: Died Nov. 12. 1850, age 22
y'ears. and Hannah Banks, his wife, died
Nov. 12. 1850, age 15 years. Both of
Zanesville. Ohio. Deluded by the writings
^f A.J. Davis."
The mystery of John and Hannafi 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
A/ork 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
A/orkers tossed George an apple. A
man would catch it by closing his legs:
3 woman bv spreading her skirt. Guess
HANCOCK CEMETERY
what "George" 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 mcMiths later, the father of
John Grieve arrived from Oliio to bury
the young couple. It was he who directed
the words to be chiselled on the head-
stone. He explained no further.
A.J. Davis was never identified for
sure. But Andrew Jackson Davis, a
spiritualist, hypnotist and faith healer, was
then practicing 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. I would
cry out... Death is only an event, only a
circumstance in the eternal life experi-
ence 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 in-
fancy,
"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 <)ll in
a breath.
"His noble consent leaves, is drawn
to deatfi.
"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 scx:)ner fade than thine, if times
don't mend. '
The tomb with its hidden message
contains the family of the Rev. Leonard
Hoar, third president o{ Haward College,
a man too liberal for his times.
He was forced by the General Court of
the Massachusetts Bay Colony to resign
at the instigation of religious opponents
and jealous colleagues for permitting
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
tlie Rev. Mr. Hoar by "proclaiming and
confirming his innocence of any misdeeds
while president of Harvard College.
The cemetery, on Hancock St.,
Quincy Square, next to City Hall,
is open to the pubHc. There is no
admission charge.

FIRST PARISH CHURCH looking across Hancock Street from Constitution l^^^f ^l PRESIDENTS John and John Quincy Adams and their wives,
Abigial and Louisa in First Parish Church.

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 Wil-
liam Churchill Edwards was 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 coun-
try were turned after they landed here
was the formation of a church.' said
Edwards.
The first ciiurch in tfiese parts was
established 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
because its first pastor, the Rev. John
Wheelwright, his sister-in-law. Anne
Hutchinson, and others were banished
from the Massachusetts 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,
father of the bold first signer of the Dec-
laration 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
separated in Massachusetts and the
Congregational Society was established
to handle parochial matters.
The old Hancock meeting house was
still •standing, althcjugli a little run dovMi.
on the south lawn of the present church
lot in 1822 when former President Jolin
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
Parrishs 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 Presi-
dent is buried is the Episcopal Cathedral
in Washington. D.C., where President
Woodrow Wilson is entombed.
The church is open to the public
for tours daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday,
noon to 5 p.m. mid-April to mid-
November. Admission is $4 for
adults, $3 for students and senior
citizens, and free for children 12
and under. For further information,

Why Wc Pronounce
It 'Quin-zcc'
Starting our 104^^ year as a
proud part of Quincy's history
QUINCY LODGE OF ELKS
No. 943
254 Quarry Street, Quincy
Why do we pronounce Quincy Quin-
/ee when just about everyone else in
the countw 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
argument 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 settler-, uf
those communities thought John Quin-
cy pronounced it John "'Quin-see.'
Anyway, that is how Edwards ex-
plained it.
Seems like a sound argument.

For 165 Years

Boston from England in 1633. claiming 1215.

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. witli a few minor transgressions
of that vow. the solid structure of Quincy
granite on Quincy Square has been just
that for the past 165 years, the nerve
center of government fur the tcjwn and
then the city.
It was the great hall on the second floor
that the popular John Quincy Adams 11.
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
emblazoned 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 drawing
up the plans and superintending constmc-
tion for five months — the City Hall was
completed and occupied for the first time
on Nov. 1. 1844.
It cost exactly $19,115.93 to build,
including 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 million.
THE WOODWARD SCHOOL
Dt Ebenezer Woodward, cousin of President John Adams, founded the Woodward School in 1 869 as a sister
school to The Adams Academy. While the Adams Academy closed in 1 909, Woodward has maintained its
enduring mission of preparing motivated and promising young women in grades 6 - 12 for college, engaged
citizenship and service to others.

of the seven rooms of the Vassall-Borland period original home dating back to
1731 when it was built as a summer residence by Leonard Vassall. The name of
the room is derived from the floor-to-ceiling Sam Domingo mahogany wood pan-

PORTRAITS OF GEORGE and Martha Washington (left) hang from a wall of the
dining room in the Old House. The oil paintings of the Washingtons were painted
by Edward Savage in 1790. They were commissioned by Vice President John Ad-

dollars for these paintings. At right is oil painting of Gilbert Stuart, who painted
the last portrait of John Adams when he was 88 years old.
LAST PORTRAIT of John Adams, at the age of 88, faces the George Washington
painting in the dining room. The placement of these portraits at opposite ends of
the room facing each other symbolizes the historic moment in history when the
United States witnessed the first peaceful transfer of power between one execu-
tive and another with the inauguration of Adams as the second U.S. president in
1799. The oil painting is a copy of an original painted by Gilbert Stuart at the
request of John Quincy Adams; Stuart's daughter Jane created the copy.

John Adams 'Father'
U.S., State Constitution Both Born Here
By TOM HENSHAW
uincy, birttiplace 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 af-
ter 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 hundredweight. The news from the
fighting front was of death, privation
and horror.
Like many Braintree wives whose hus-
bands were away at war. Abigail Adams
was forced into the unaccustomed role
of head of the household, a function she
filled with determination.
John Adams attended the opening
session of the Constitutional Conventi( jh
in Cambridge on Wednesday. June 1,
1779. On Saturday, he was named to a
committee of 30 to prepare the declara-
tion of rights and the constituti(Mi. On
Monday, 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 Ad-

Payroll records indicate that he was paid
90 pounds for his work.
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 tlie
foot of Penn's Hill again iui anc^ther
eight year^.
But he was immensely heartened by
these words from the pen of his ever-lov
ing Abigail, written on Oct. 1.5, 1780:
"Our Massachusetts Constitution is
read with admission in New "Ycjrk and
pronounced by the Royal Governor as the
best republican form he ever saw."

Dorothy Quincy Homestead
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 I Love and
You Alone." addressed by Hancock to
his beloved Dorothy and scratched on a
window pane with his diamond ring just
before 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 200.5
to the status of a National Historic Land-
mark possessing "national significance in
commemorating the history of the LJnited
States."
Parts of the house were built in 168.5
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.
Tlie 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 Homestead with its French cupid
wallpaper when Revolution intervened
and John had to flee with the British
regulars on his heels.
Eventually, 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 Alex-
ander 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 Washington
Hancock, was killed in a skating accident
at age 9 while on a visit in 1787.
The house was acquired in 1904 by
the Massachusetts Society of Colonial
A Third Generation
Continues Our Traditions.
Quincy has changed a ^reat deal .since Sweeney Funeral Home wa.-
ej^tablished in 1917. But, it's nice to i<naw .some thing.* will never change.
Like the observance of traditional values and cu>tonts.
At Sweeney Funeral Homes, older re.sidents are quick to iKitue the
subtle reminders of yesteryear, such as the grey gloves lAir funeral
director still wears. IJke 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 instuictive loncern
for the city's bereaved families for three generations.
Todav, our founders grand-nephew, Dennis S Sweeney has
continued the family's philosophy of maintaining a beautiful, home-like
atmosphere.
And like his name.sake, who .started pre-arrangements in the IBlOs,
Dennis believes in helping residents to plan for the future. Pre-planning
means that this financial decision is not left for a family tu 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 79 years. Call Dennis Sweeney at

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 Har-
vard 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
Ladies of the Air. Harriet Quimby and
Amelia Earhart.
Quimby was the first /Xmencan woman
to qualify for a pilot s licence in 1911 and
tfie second in the world (Helene Dutrieu
of France v.'as the first) and the first v^om-
an to fly across the English Channel.
Earhart. u'ho once had a financial
interest 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 Har-
vard Aero Society Sept. 3-10. 1910. and
it "drew 22 flyers and 17 aircraft as com-
petitors and President William Howard
Taft as one of 150.000 spectators.
Star of the meet was the [3rit, Graham-
White, who brought two airplanes, a
Bleriot monoplane and a Farman biplane,
and won $10,000 offered by the Boston
Globe for a hazardous double round trip
to Boston Light. He also sweetened the
pot bv taking passengers on short flights
for $500 each.
The 1913 HaiA'ard 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, fieturning. the plane sud-
denly nosed over and Quimby and Wil-
lard 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 Navv' took over the field in Squan-
tum 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
airplanes.
Spencer and his uife. the former
Wallis Warfield. the Belle of Baltimore,
lived on Davis Street in Wollaston. where
neighbors thought she was a bit s.tuck up
and snobbish and nicknamed her "the

Twenty years later, twice divorced, she
gained a real title, the Duchness of Wind-

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, liave
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.
The first known use of Quincy gran-
ite 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
purposes. Sometimes it was a church
where the community worshipped;
other times it -served as a fort in case
of an Indian attack.
Quarrying in general was in its
infancy, an inexact science in thcjse
days.
The process of cutting a rock io
size was simple — build a fire around
it. then drop an iron ball or cold water
GRANITE WORKERS, many of them
immigrants who learned their craft in
Italy and the Scandinavian countries,
are memorialized with a statue of
Quincy granite in the Granite Workers
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 ar-
chitecture.

John Quincy Adams:
6th President And More
iConlininJ From l\i^c SA)
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'bne 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 "peculiar 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 1S2S 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 succes-
sor's inauguration, the only two presi-
dents to do so.
He took a year to rest, then ran for
the House from the South Shore Dis-
trict. Now running as a Whig, he easily
defeated a Democrat 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
after 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 homeland
and bound for slavery in Cuba, and waxed
so eloquent before the Supreme Court
that they were freed and sent home over
the protests of the new president.
His particular target was known as the
Gag Rule which said that "all petitions,
memorials, resolutions, propositions
or papers relating ... to the subject of
slavery shall be laid upon the table and
that no further action whatever shall be
had thereon."
it was passed in 1836 and he fought
it tooth and nail until it was rescinded in
1844.
On Feb. 21. 1848. as he rose to his
feet to speak against a commendation for
those who had won the war with Mexico,
v^hich he opposed, SO-year-old John
Quincy Adams suffered a massive stroke.
He died two days later in the Capitol.

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 after
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 island, 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 B(.)ston Harbor.
The British fleet left Boston Harbor

'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 Gls to
arrive at the Imperial Palace in war-torn
Tokyo in the late summer of 1945 and
they mystified Stalin in tlie 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 f ore River Shipyard in Quincy
where James J Kilrov was employed as
a checker whose job it was to ci;unt the
number of holes filled by a riveter
Kilrov s job was important to the rivet-
ers since thev were paid bv tlie number of
rivets they drove. Kilr( )y would go ar* )und
and cfAint them and check each with a
clialk mark.
Some riveters wnild Wriit until the
checker liad gone and then inase the
last chalk niark. Another checker would
count the rivet a second time and the
riveter would get paid twice for \\\r s-nnc
work.
One day. Kilroy overheard his (>< ;-,s ri^k
a riveter if Kilroy liad checked a certain
rivet. N' '. said tlie riveter. That made Kil-
roy mad because he knew he had checki-d
that partiuilfi! rivet.
He grabbed a piece of chalk, went over
tr.) where the tw* > mfn were standing and
scribbled ' Kiln;y was h'Te' in large, bold
letters right ru'xt t" the check mark. It
soon became his standard practice.
Ordmarilv. the chalk nwrk wr^uld b(/
ccA'ered \\\) by paint. F^ut this w.is Wcirtiine

Moswetuset Hummock
'Birthplace Of Massachusetts'
It vvds only a tiny spot of land no big-
ger than a football field on the Quincy
shore but it gave its name to the state of
Massachusetts,
As the historian Neal recalled it in his
History of New England, published a
hundred vears after the Pilgrims landed
in 1721 . . .
"The Sachem or Sagamore who gov-
erned the Indians in this part of the coun-
tp-^'lvhen the English first came hither,
fiad his seat on a small hill, or hummock,
containing perhaps an acre and a half,
about two leagues to the southward of
Boston, which hill or huminock lies in the
shape of an Indian^ anou'-fiead. v^iiich
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 Moswe-
tuset. 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
sachem Chickatabot. who comes down
through the pages of Quincy history as
a rather pathetic figure.
i-ie was the chief of the Moswetuset
Indians, once a great tribe that occupied
the coast north of Plymouth.

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
MOSWETUSET HUMMOCK (Jack Ihlson Photo)
Hummock.
That was the situation in 1621 when
Capt. Myles Standish landed from a
shallop with an exploring party of Pil-
grims 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 1 2 pounds. 10 shillings. The
land included most of what is today the
city of Quincy and the towns of Braintree.
Randolph and Holbrook.
Moswetuset Hummock, identi-
fied by a marker stone and main-
tained in its natural state, is open
to the public.

The Granite Railwax;
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 platform that was slung low be-
tween 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
crumbed granite to a depth beyond the
frost line.
On Saturday. Oct. 7. 1826. the
wagons 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
taking a brilliant polish, were en route to
Charlestown. where they were building a
mofiument 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 engineer 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 satisfac-
tion of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Willard. then 43. was a great bear of
a man. gentle, obliging, industrious. Fri-
volity, 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. finally 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 Rail-
ways charter through a puzzled and
obstinate State Legislature, which had
never been called upon to incorporate a
commercial railroad before. It was Per-
kins who financed it. too. largely with his
own money.
Even in its early days, the Granite
Railway was a tourist attraction of some
magnitude.
THE GRANITE RAILWAY
(Quincy; Sun PhotO/^obert Noble)
was killed in what may have been the first
railroad fatality in the United States.
The Granite Railway Co. survived until
1870. some 27 years after the Bunker
Hill Monument was finished, when most
Daniel Webster, who used to stop off of its track was taken over by the Old
for a pick-me-up in Quincy en route from Colony Railroad, which in turn became
a division of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford.
Today much of the roadbed, over
which freight moved commercially on
rails for the first time in America, is bur-
ied under the macadam of the Southeast
Expressway.
Boston and Washington to his home in
Marshfield. viewed it and decided that
it would never succeed because of the
frost that would form on the rails in the
winter.
The President of the United States, a
local boy named John Quincy Adams,
visited in August, 1827, got caught in a
thunderstorm and took shelter in a shed
where Willard s stone-cutters were hack-
ing away at monument granite.
A group of visitors were riding up the
Railways incline in an empty car on July
25, 1832, when the chain broke and
catapulted them over a 40-foot cliff. One

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 tc;
her corset.
Ruth Gordon went on to fame and
fortune as an actress on the Broadway
stage and the Hollywood movie studios
and as a writer of short stearics and piavs
with her husband, Garson Kanin.
She won an Academy Award as best
supporting actress in 1969 for her rule
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 repots
in Quincy, returning frequently to attend
class reunions. Her last visit was in 1984
for the dedication of the Ruth Gordon
Amphitfieater in Merrymount Park.
She died in 198,5 at the age of 88.

His name too was Jones. William An

the old Quincy Theater, where vaudeville
persisted into the 1920s, he used to dream
of performing himself.

name, fie tl loiigl it , so 1 le hmt )wed the name
of the Quincy Theater manager and as Billy

Quincy Adams Yacht Yard
The Fore River Shipyard was not the
only shipbuilding facility in Quincy that
helped to win World War 11.
There was also the Quincy Adams
Yacht Yard on tlie Town River in Ger-
mantown, which turned from building
private yachts when war broke out to
constructing wooden-hulled submarine
chasers.

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 Carrollton, Maryland,
who died in 1832 at the age of 95. Ad-
ams died at 90.

Captain Who?
The original settlement of Quincy w<)--
made as a trading post in 1625 by an
all male company led by a Captain Wol-

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.

Amelia Ear hart, Harriet Quimby Pioneers
i Continued From Pcii^e 26)
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 Antarctic
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
deoris 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 country and we have ideals as to how
people should live and enjoy the riches
crt^-jt 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,
soldier, 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 Gods 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
Airport 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 fiying
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 Den-
nison 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
operated in Illinois were controlled by Al
Capone."
The coming of World War 11 meant a
revival of training at the Squantum Naval
Air Station and the demise of commercial
aviation at Dennison Airport as the Navy
cancelled its lease and added a concrete
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 week-
end for training.
Squantum s gloricjus aviation history
came to an end in 1 953 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 fiying days
of Harriet Quimby, Amelia Eiarhart, Com-
mander John J. Shea and Captain Harry
Sartoris live on in the Aviation History
Information Center at the Beechwood
Community Life Center where the old
Dennison Airport once held sway.

USS SALEM
(Quincy 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 Naval
Shipbuilding Museum stands for all tlie
ships that were built at Bethlehem Steels
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
democracy 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 195b
when fighting broke uut between hrael
and Egypt and she was diverted to the
islands of Rhodes to assure safe i^a^sage
(;f American and cither sliips through the
Suez Canal.
Salem was on active duty for 10 year^,
decommissioned in 1959 and berthed in
the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in Philadelphia;
tlien 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 admirals
and captain s bridges, the quarters on
the second deck where the crew lived
and worked, an extensive model ship
collection and the region s (jnly Navy
SEAL display.
The sl)ip is also home U) the Crui^ei
Sailor Museum as well as museum^
dedicated to the USS St. FAnil and USS
Newport News, sister ships oi Salem
The museum's archives are open fcjr

lection of armaments, uniforms and
memorabilia.

Rx Medicine Drop-off Day
Clean-out your medicine cabinet and bring the contents to the Quincy Police Station
Sudies show that children can begin a lifetime of drug addiction by simply opening the medicine cabinet at home.
Drugs such as OxyContin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, Percocet, Darvocet, Vicodin and Lortab have
all been linked to opiate addiction. Also there is concern about medications in the water supply not being adequately
cleared by water treatment plants. Never flush medicine of any type down the toilet or drain.
What to Bring In original container, all pharmaceuticals (prescription and over-the-counter) will be accepted. This
includes pills, liquids, capsules, inhalers, patches, etc. Pet meds accepted.
Include all expired prescription medicines and any non-prescription medicines more than 2 years old.
Antibiotics should be disposed of regardless of expiration date.
Old skin care products can become tainted with bacteria and harm your skin-some experts suggest disposing of
anything you haven't used in three months.
Throw out sunscreen that is more than 2 years old.
Black-out personal information from all prescription bottles. Please preserve the part of the label that identifies the
medication if at all possible.
What Not to Bring No sharps (needles), or aerosols.
A Police Officer and pharmacist will be onsite to answer any questions and accept your unused medication.
Trash in Quincy is down 2,300 tons for fiscal year 2009.
