MARLBOROUGH – A new program this year will aim to help Marlborough High School (MHS) students who are struggling to graduate. Speaking at a School Committee meeting on July 12, Marlborough Director of Alternative Education, Michael Allen said the Accelerated Learning Academy will help struggling MHS students. “They are students who are having great difficulty finishing school,” Allen said.

HUDSON – The sound of gunfire echoed outside of the the American Heritage Museum. People gathered this past weekend for a re-enactment of the Battle of Bunker Hill. “It’s living history events like this, the Battle of Bunker Hill, that will really draw people into the history of Boston 247 years ago,” said Director of Marketing Hunter Chaney. As Chaney described it, one of the primary programs that the American Heritage Museum and Collings Foundation operates is the management of living history events. While the museum regularly has living history events, this marks their first reenactment from the Revolutionary War. “In all cases, what we really strive to do

Tractor trailer crashes at Marlborough I-495/I-290 interchange OVER TOP

THE

By Stuart Foster Reporter MARLBOROUGH - Three lanes on I-495 North in Marlborough were blocked last Monday afternoon after a tractor trailer rolled over. The crash took place near exit 65, according to the state Department of Transportation (MassDOT), which warned local motorists of possible traffic delays just before 3 p.m. A truck, according to State Police, “failed to negotiate” the ramp from I-290 to I-495, crashing and blocking northbound lanes of I-495. State Police noted that no injuries had been reported. Traffic was inching along on the shoulder of the road as of 3 p.m. Backups were notable throughout the region, though, with traffic stretching several miles along I-495 as crews worked to clear the crash. The scene was finally clear just before 5 p.m., according to state police, though heavy residual traffic remained.

Dark Ale

offee and chocolate lovers often choose stout, a type of ale that is brewed differently from lagers. These dark, sweet, full-bodied ales usually contain water, malted and roasted barley, hops, and a special ale yeast that ferments on the top of the brew at high temperature. The roasting process contributes to the characteristic dark color of the ale and adds notes of brewed coffee or espresso to its flavor profile. Stout ales are rich in antioxidants, vitamin B12, and soluble fiber. Although the ale has a rich, creamy taste, it may actually contain fewer calories than a common lager. Stout is sometimes called the “dessert of ales” and is frequently consumed with various dessert options. JULIO’S LIQUORS stays on top of trends and support the breweries that are making great beers. We have about 1,500 beers and have partnered with several breweries. With a wide variety of fine wines, spirits, beer, and tobacco, we also have many other unique items that set us apart from the average liquor store. Please call 508-366-1942 for more information, or visit us at 140 Turnpike Rd., Rt. 9 East. HINT: There are chocolate stouts with dark chocolate notes that may have been further enhanced by the addition of real chocolate during the brewing process.

HUDSON - Hudson native Michael “Mike” McCarthy, a longtime Hot Rod Club photographer, will be inducted into the “Orientals Hot Rod Club Hall of Fame” on July 31 at the New England Dragway in Epping, N.H. McCarthy said he started

shooting with a Polaroid camera for the “Drag News” magazine in 1968, bought a Pentax in 1969, and continued with the magazine until 1972. After several career changes, he retired to Florida in 2012. In 2016, he returned to Drag Racing photography - this time with a Nikon D5200, continuing as a N.E. Dragway track photographer. McCarthy said he was “shocked” to get the call from Jim Blake of the Orientals Hot Rod Club about his Hall of Fame selection. McCarthy and his wife, Alice, live in Loudon, N.H. A 1968 graduate of Hudson High School, he is the son of Hudson resident Paul McCarthy and the late Pat McCarthy. Congratulations Mike!

Marlborough Rotary Club celebrates 100th anniversary, looks to future By Stuart Foster Reporter MARLBOROUGH – The Marlborough Rotary Club celebrated its 100th anniversary earlier this year. As the Marlborough Rotary Club now looks toward its future, members are envisioning new work as the role of civic organizations in the United States undergoes dramatic change. “Being a rotarian means that you are someone who places serving the community above your own self,” now former President Aaron Aykanian said, evoking the club’s motto of “Service above Self.” Rotary is 1,000th in world The first Rotary Club was established in Chicago in the early 1900s. As the idea for Rotary Clubs spread, Marlborough soon joined the wave in 1922. As Aaron described it, rotarians are people who take time out from their jobs, families and lives to get together in groups and do things for the community’s benefit. Being a rotarian runs in the Aykanian family, with Aaron being the third generation to serve as Rotary Club President – an honor dating back to Sem’s father, Joe. Joe moved to Marlborough in 1960 at a time when there were few Armenian-Americans in the city. Residents had difficulty pronouncing his surname. Ultimately, though, Joe served as a city councilor in addition to his role as Rotary Club president. “It just means a lot,” Sem said. “It means a lot for us, but really it says a lot about the

who can meet the Rotary’s requirements of attending at least half of the group’s weekly Thursday lunch meetings. “If you’re interested in being part of the community and giving back, then Rotary is for you,” Sem said.

growth and the diversity of the city.” To commemorate its centennial this year, the Rotary Club held a gala at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel and Trade Center on May 14. Sem served as the event’s master of ceremonies. Over 150 people attended, according to Aaron. Rotary looks to the future Mark Vital has since taken the helm of the Rotary Club as its president, beginning on July 1. Speaking earlier this year, he said he has a goal to bring in 20 new members by the end of his term. This goal comes as many civic organizations are seeing declining membership. Sem attributed it to less free time in an era of economic stress. When Sem was president in 2017, he had a goal for each rotarian to bring in a new member by the end of the year. Although the goal wasn’t met, Sem said this caused more

people to join the Rotary Club. “Finding good Rotarians is going to be a challenge,” Sem said. Specifically, Vital is hoping to increase the Rotary Club’s diversity. He also wants to find younger members and plans to

do outreach with his former Marlborough High School students. “With younger members come new ideas,” Vital said. While the club remains invitation only, Sem said it is looking to be inclusive for people

Marlborough-based charity gets $100,000 grant MARLBOROUGH – The Marlborough-based public charity Cancer1Source will receive a $100,000 grant from the Cummings Foundation, Mayor Arthur Vigeant announced this month. Cancer1Source was created by oncology nurses in 2009 to provide access for products and services that help fill gaps in patient care. The charity has advocated for cancer patients and their families, providing families with financial assistance and access to patient assistance pro-

grams. The group also provides funding for cancer research. “Nurses make a difference in a patient’s care, and Mary Lou Woodford and Karleen Habin are well aware of the impact and fulfilling a need outside of the regular care nurses provide,” Vigeant said in a press release. The grant Cancer1Source received is one of 25 10-year grants awarded by the Woburn-based Cummings Foundation this year. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $375 million to Greater Boston nonprofits.

academically struggling for a variety of reasons including mental health issues and for some, the responsibility of financially supporting their families. According to Allen, the program will offer social-emotional learning and wellness resources. Overall, he said, the program provides a much more supportive environment compared to other existing options. Program to launch with 10 students The program will initially include about 10 students starting in September, according to Allen. He said this is not a “hard cap” as more students could be added throughout the year. “It’s important that we start, and we are successful with them,” Allen said of the initial base group.

rience in social and emotional learning. “Our goal at this point is really to start the hiring of some of our teachers,” Allen said. The academy will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Hildreth Alternative School from 4 to 9 p.m. There will be a dinner provided between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Transportation will also be offered. Students will have to be at least 17 years old and have attended school for at least two years before applying to the program. They will have to sign a contract, go through an interview process and be willing to participate completely, Allen said. This will include, he added, a minimum attendance requirement of 95 percent. Allen said the program will be more focused, allowing stu-

dents to progress at their own pace. However, the program is still competency based, and it requires students to pass state benchmarks, including MCAS exams. “There’s no getting around that,” Allen said. Allen said the program will hopefully allow students to close age and credit gaps to graduate around the same time as their peers. The presentation was brought to the School Committee by new Marlborough Superintendent Mary Murphy, who said it is not an actionable item the committee needs to vote on. She said she wanted to bring it to members’ attention and get their approval before they began to hire teachers. Members of the committee responded enthusiastically, with School Committee member Michelle Bodin-Hettinger suggesting that Allen return at the end of the year to update them on the success of the program. Program builds on previous goal Murphy said that expanding alternative high school options was a goal initially identified by former Superintendent Michael Bergeron four years ago. She added that the district has since begun offering programs like METAS, which is like the Accelerated Learning Academy primarily for English Language Learner students. “This new program is the next step in that expansion of alternative pathways,” Murphy said.

Aging Gracefully

Seniors

by MariAnn Paladino, Dir. of Admissions, Notre Dame Long Term Care

IMPORTANCE OF FOOT HEALTH When we think about keeping our bodies healthy as we age we usually consider our cardiovascular, bone, and mental health, and it is easy to forget about one of the hardest working parts of our bodies — our feet! Our feet support our full body weight while keeping us balanced and mobile, so it’s understandable that as we age they can start to flatten and become wider. The fatty tissue that pads the bottom of our feet also begins to break down and wear away. Keeping feet clean and moisturized can prevent bacterial and fungal infection as can paying close attention to any sores or abrasions. Do not ignore foot pain since it could be a sign of a serious condition. Common foot conditions like bunions, hammertoes, discolored toenails, corns, and calluses may seem harmless. But if an older adult has any of these, it’s worth getting an evaluation from a podiatrist to prevent harmful developments later, like infections. At NOTRE DAME LONG TERM CARE, skilled nursing care is provided by a team of competent and compassionate licensed professionals for chronic or acutely ill residents. PH: (508) 852-3011; 559 Plantation Street. P.S. Foot massage, leg elevation, and compression hose can all help improve circulation to the feet, which may help avoid blood clots.

“The British really had won that battle to great cost. Thousands of British soldiers had died in the skirmish, and it really set the precedent for future battles for our fight for independence.” The museum laid out an area

to represent the battle chronologically. Featuring about 300 re-enactors split between the Colonialists and British, it included the bombardment of the fortification on Breed’s Hill, the landing of troops on the Charles-

town peninsula, company flank attacks on the Boston shore and multiple assaults up Breed’s Hill. “The re-enactment itself will be quite visually stunning,” Chaney said. Additionally, the event featured encampments and a pre-

Shrewsbury invites community to food truck festival By Laura Hayes Managing Editor SHREWSBURY - Shrewsbury’s food truck festival is inching closer, with community members invited to attend the event at Oak Middle School next month. The festival, which is being sponsored by the Shrewsbury Parks and Recreation Department, will be held on Aug. 5 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. “[It] should be a fun night,” Director Angela Snell told the Community Advocate in May. There will be over 10 food trucks at the festival serving up entrees and sweet treats. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the food from the food trucks. There will be music courtesy of DJ Larry Falk and a color station and lawn games. This festival comes as Shrewsbury is in the midst of its second full year of holding its Food Truck Thursday events.

Food Truck Thursdays are held every week in front of Town Hall on Maple Avenue. The event began unofficially during the early days of the pandemic when some food truck operators reached out

to Shrewsbury staff seeking a place to sell food. Last year, Snell helped organize the Food Truck Thursdays with the help of the food truck operators. Now, there’s nearly double

Inflated home prices and lack of inventory have you thinking about renovating your existing home?

s it time to put in that dream kitchen or breathe some new life into your bathroom? Perhaps you need more space and are going to finish the basement or add a garage with a Master Suite above. Maybe you are budgeting for a new deck or roof.

Judy Boyle, RealtoR®

Whatever the project, there are a lot of things to consider. How much will it cost and how many quotes should you get? Who will perform the work, and do they come with good references and insurance? Will you get a healthy return on your investment if and when you decide to sell? These are some of the most obvious questions you will be asking yourself but one critical component of any home improvement project that

is often overlooked is whether or not the project requires a permit. Permitting. That one word makes everyone squirm. The general perception of the permitting process is that it is a way for the town to generate revenue; others feel it will only result in an increase in real estate taxes and add time to the process. Then there is the matter of whether you even need to pull a permit and who is responsible for doing so. Indeed,

the whole conversation around permitting is annoying. But if you educate yourself about the process and discover that taking out the proper permits will only benefit you in the long run, it makes total sense and will save you a lot of time and money down the road. So how do you know whether your project requires a permit and what is the process of obtaining one? In his recent seminar, Real Estate Attorney Michael Robbins of Crowley & Cummings, LLC suggested you visit your local Building Department. “The building commissioner is not the boogeymen,” quipped Robbins. “He really is there to help and work with you.” In response and also in attendance at the seminar, West-

borough Building Commissioner Fred Lonardo said it best: “We’re here for life safety and for the benefit of the homeowners.” Regarding which projects require permitting, Lonardo states “if you are adding something or opening something up, it most likely requires a permit.” Pulling proper permits…and making sure they are closed out…will also save a lot of time and potentially prevent a real estate deal from blowing up when you do decide to sell down the road. Most reputable contractors will offer to pull all the necessary permits…and they do. Whether the contractor actually schedules the final inspections and makes sure the permit is closed out is another thing. Attorney Robbins suggests that the homeowner withhold final payment until the proper documentation is in hand. Attorney Robbins and Commissioner Lonardo discuss one last issue on the permitting subject…What’s on file at the Building Department? Each concur that town records are inconsistent. “Paperwork gets lost,” caution both Lonardo and Robbins who urge the homeowner to keep good records. In the summarizing words of Attorney Robbins, “Pull the permit. Close the permit. Keep the permit.” Boyle lives in Northborough where she is also a Chapter Leader of the Neighbor Brigade, a nonprofit charitable organization that assists families in times of crisis.

A Powerful Prayer to the Holy Spirit - Holy Spirit you who solve all problems who light all roads so I can attain my goals, you who give me the divine gifts to forgive and forget all evil against me, in this short prayer to thank you for all things and confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you, even in spite of all material illusions. I wish you in eternal glory, thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer for three consecutive days. After three days the favor requested will be granted, even if it may appear difficult. This prayer must be published immediately after the favor is granted without mentioning the favor. Only your initials shall appear on the bottom. ~ F.R.

HOLY SPIRIT you who made me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideal. You, who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and you, who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory, Amen. Thank You for your love towards me and my loved ones.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS Quality of workmanship in high demand at Cabinet Rehab Shop By Kathryn Acciari Contributing Writer WORCESTER - Having been in business for 30 years, Gerry Brodeur and his team are known for the high quality of craftsmanship in their work. Brodeur

owns the Cabinet Rehab Shop along with The Stripping Workshop in Worcester. “People find us from Boston, New Hampshire, Maine, and New York too,” says Brodeur. “There are fewer shops doing what we do.”

One of his challenges is the difficulty in finding workers to keep pace with the demand for the shop’s services. He notes that the industry has been fractured since high tech has come in. “Every five years, we lose more tradespeople,” says Brodeur. “We’re working with an older crew right now. It’s going to take a generation to revive the trades.” At the vocational schools, there are not as many students going into trades like carpentry or electrical work. “Since the pandemic, people have decided they want to work from home,” Brodeur said. “They don’t want to come in to work. They don’t want to get their hands dirty.” While Brodeur’s team is busy, he speaks of the falling-

off of quality of manufactured goods. A trend toward consumerism that started in the 1960’s was accelerated in the 2000’s. True appreciation for high-quality products has significantly decreased. “As a society, we’ve become used to disposable furniture,” he said. “People buy from stores like IKEA, where furniture is mass-produced. People have been conditioned to get upgrades every six months. Quality is low, and if something wears out, people just throw it away and buy a new one.” Coupled with this lack of appreciation for quality, Brodeur notes that since the pandemic, it is increasingly difficult to obtain high-quality materials. “You pay a premium and wait a long time for them,” he said.

His crew has over 100 window sashes onsite for restoration, some going back as far as 300 years. These are from antique properties, some of which are on historic registers. Brodeur remarks that sentiment is the one thing that keeps people tied to the restoration and refurbishing of older pieces. Over 50% of his shop is made up of sentimental pieces. Such items are loaded with stories. Brodeur speaks of an elderly woman whose friend passed away. She brought in her friend’s rocker to be refurbished. It was not high-quality, but it held great emotional value for the woman. “You can’t age-out sentiment,” he says. “It may be a teddy bear or a lamp or a rocker, or even a computerized avatar. It’s human nature to hold deep emotional connections with pieces from their past. People still want to have roots. It’s the glue of society.” Visit the Cabinet Rehab Shop and The Stipping Workshop and Cabinet Refacing at 100 Grand Street, Worcester, Massachusetts. (508) 986-8450.

Marlborough Hospital named one of the 148 best hospitals in the country MARLBOROUGH - UMass Memorial Health - Marlborough Hospital was recently honored as one of the best hospitals in the country, earning a spot on a list alongside just 147 other facilities. The list is a collaboration between Money and The Leapfrog Group, which describes itself as a nonprofit watchdog organization that serves as a voice for health care consumers and purchasers. The list is designed to help inform people about which hospitals have the best value. It is the first list produced through this partnership. “I am so proud of everyone involved in helping us earn this ranking,” said Marlborough Hospital President Steve Roach in a press release last week. “Our caregivers have proven

to be relentless during very challenging and difficult times and have demonstrated their dedication and commitment to providing safe and patientcentered care.” Hospitals were eligible to appear on the list if they received an A grade in The Leapfrog Group’s fall 2021 Hospital Safety Guide. Chair of the Hospital’s Board

of Trustees Michael Murphy thanked UMass Memorial’s caregivers, colleagues, donors, community and patients. “Being recognized nationally as one of the 148 best hospitals in the country is a tremendous honor and acknowledgement for the care our caregivers provide to the residents of the communities the hospital serves,” Murphy said.

Shamrocks beat Mill City Eagles 35-14 By Laura Hayes Managing Editor MARLBOROUGH - The Marlborough Shamrocks notched another win under their belt this past weekend. Marlborough faced off against the Mill City Eagles on Saturday under the lights of Kelleher Field and emerged victorious, beating the Eagles 35-14. With this win, the Shamrocks now stand 4-1 on the season. This was the second time Marlborough has played the Eagles this season. The Shamrocks last played Mill City on July 9 in Chelmsford, coming out on the winning side of a 29-18 score. At that time, offensive coordinator Harrison Ingels called it the “first real win of the season.” That came after the Shamrocks lost their season opener to the Southern New England Admirals and later beat a shorthanded Brockton Bucks. Now, the Marlborough Shamrocks will face off against the Granite State Destroyers at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire this Saturday. “The defending, reigning, undisputed back 2 back National Champion Marlboro Shamrocks travel to Manchester to take on our Granite State Destroyers in a North Division battle!” the Destroyers wrote on Facebook.
