Hudson Police host first National Night Out

Hudson Select Board weighs lowering Town Meeting quorum

By Ed Karvoski Jr. Contributing Writer

By Stuart Foster Reporter HUDSON – The quorum for Hudson’s Town Meeting may be lowered from 150 to 75. Town Clerk Joan Wordell brought a proposal before the Select Board on July 25 to see if they would put an article before Town Meeting to lower the Town Meeting quorum. She noted several positives for lowering quorum, such as allowing Town Meeting to start earlier, run more efficiently and ensuring that Town Meeting would not be affected by people who attend for one article and then leave. “Keeping the quorum at a greater number than 75 runs the risk of delaying Quorum | 7

HUDSON – Hudson joined forces with thousands of communities nationwide to host the town’s first National Night Out at Riverside Park’s baseball field Aug. 2. Designed to strengthen a partnership between law enforcement and the public, National Night Out was founded in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). Since then, the national event has been held annually on the first Tuesday of August except for some communities’ cancellations in recent years due to pandemic restrictions. As stated on NATW’s website, “National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great Night out | 12

COMMUNITY EVENTS Shrewsbury’s Food Truck Festival a hit despite storm Caroline Gordon Reporter SHREWSBURY - Hungry residents weathered the thunderstorm and headed to Oak Middle School for a food truck festival on Friday. There, they spent time with friends and neighbors and indulged in delicious food. Superintendent of Public Facilities and Parks Angela Snell said she organized the event because the Food Truck Thursdays, which are held at Town Hall, are popular with residents. So, she decided to expand the event. After Snell spoke with some of the vendors, they said they would be willing to participate in a food truck festival. “It’s important for the community so they can see their friends and neighbors, get out

of the house and they don’t have to cook,” Snell said. Shrewsbury resident Tom Kiser and his family are regulars at Shrewsbury’s food trucks and have been enjoying them all summer long. “I have a couple favorite food trucks. I start at Say Cheese and then go over to Charlie Dogs,” Kiser said. The Kisers came to support the food truck vendors and interact with their neighbors. Say Cheese was a hit with the Kiser family. Colleen said the truck is “absolutely” her top choice. Tom discussed the importance of the Shrewsbury community hosting an event like this for residents to be able to come together. “This is our hometown, so most of these people we know because we’ve seen them before,” he said.

ine enjoyment is influenced by the senses of sight, taste, and smell. Surprisingly, there is also a f lavor correlation between the color, size, and shape of the glassware used to serve the wine. Choose clear stemware so that the color and clarity of the wine can be seen and taste buds stimulated. Different types of wine are best when consumed from the appropriately sized and shaped glass. Small bowl (wider at the bottom and narrower at the mouth) glasses that hold eight to ten ounces are suitable for whites. Larger bowl glasses that hold at least twelve ounces can be swirled to release the mouthwatering aromas of reds. Tall, slender flutes display the delicate, dancing bubbles in sparkling wines.

MARLBOROUGH – Marlborough firefighter David Gauthier retired after a 33-year career on July 21. He began his career with the Marlborough Fire Department when he got appointed on Feb. 27, 1989. After completing the fire academy that was conducted by Fire District 14, he was assigned to Group 1 where he spent most of his career. Gauthier is an avid bike rider. When he lived in Westborough, he would often ride his bike to Station 3 on Boston Post Road East. When his wife, Allison, took a new job at a hospital in western Massachusetts, they sold their house in Westborough and moved to Pittsfield, Massachusetts. For his last trip to the firehouse before retirement, he decided to ride his bike to work. The trip took him three days and spanned 120 miles. He stayed with friends and a

night at a hotel and stopped to donate platelets at the Red Cross Blood Donor Center, a frequent past time of his. He stayed at a hotel at the Apex Center for his final night and rode his bike from there to Station 3. A collation was held at fire headquarters to honor Gauthier. Active on- and off-duty firefighters, retired members and friends came by to wish him well. There is a tradition in the department that you get the “final ride home” in the fire truck to which you were assigned. This tradition continued, bringing Gauthier back to the hotel. His wife Allison came to the collation and spent the night in the city. This truly is the end of an era. He is the last Gauthier to be part of the Marlborough Fire Department. His father, retired firefighter Paul Gauthier, was appointed to the MFD in 1970, and his great uncle, the late Aimee Gauthier, was appointed to the department in 1939.

Hudson Select Board hears arguments for lowering town meeting quorum Quorum | from page 1

the start of the meeting or adjourning to another date or time, hoping to acquire quorum,” Wordell said.

Select Board weighs in Wordell said she wanted to present the proposal about lowering the quorum to 75 to the Select Board to gauge their thoughts. Select Board Chair Scott Duplisea said that when the board lowered the quorum during the pandemic, he had initially been concerned about the implications of a town of more than 20,000 people not being able to reach a quorum of 150. However, he said that since lowering the quorum due to the pandemic, they had seen high turnout anyway. “I don’t think lowering the quorum is going to get more people to go, but it may help us get our business done,” Duplisea said. “I don’t know how

PHOTO/LAURA HAYES

History of Hudson’s quorum To hold a Town Meeting requires the moderator, Town Clerk and a quorum of voters. At the last Town Meeting on May 2, 169 residents attended. According to Wordell, the quorum for Town Meeting was 100 in 1926 before it was increased to 200 in 1971. The quorum was then reduced to 150 in 1994. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Wordell said that the town had been able to lower the quorum to 70. The 2021 annual Town Meeting saw 166 attendees, and that number increased to 325 attendees during the special Town Meeting in November. In her research, communities with a quorum requirement of zero had higher turnout. Wordell said that lowering the quorum does not prevent people from attending Town Meeting. “As per my years of experience, it’s what’s on the warrant that brings people out,” Wordell said. Wordell said that November’s special Town Meeting, unless certain articles are on it, will not bring a crowd and could force them to adjourn to another night. “The things on the article at the special Town Meeting may be very important to the departments that need that,” Wordell said.

many times I’m calling my wife to grab my daughter, call the neighbor, bring the dog, trying to get everybody down there to get quorum.” Duplisea said he would not immediately say 75 was the right number for the quorum, but he encouraged the Select Board to consider lowering the amount of people required for it. Select Board members Judy

Community members gather in the Hudson High School auditorium for Town Meeting this spring.

Congdon and Shawn Sadowski also voiced their support. “The numbers state for themselves that each time we’ve lowered it, we have kind of jarred people saying, ‘What do you mean I can’t go,’ and they show up in droves,” Sadowski said. Wordell did not ask the Select Board to sponsor the article that evening.

Developer proposes townhomes near Westborough District Court By Laura Hayes Managing Editor WESTBOROUGH - Twelve townhomes may be coming to the intersection of Milk and Oak streets. The plans went before the Planning Board on July 19. However, the Planning Board expressed concerns

about a “bonus” room on the ground floor being used as an extra bedroom. The property — which is at 191-212 Oak St. — is a 2.1-acre site next to Westborough District Court. The developer is proposing to construct two buildings on the site. One of the buildings would

be three stories and contain six two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units. The second building would be two stories and contain four onebedroom units. The plans showed a “bonus” room located on the ground floor. Town Planner Jim Robbins said the developers are re-

stricted to no more than two bedrooms under zoning. “So, if this bonus room — if that’s what you’re calling it — does not have a bathroom and a closet, it cannot be used as a bedroom,” Robbins said. He added that the developer could not get an occupancy permit if the room was built out as a bedroom.

been switched to a half bath. He said they didn’t intend to put a closet in the room. “But they could theoretically use it as a bedroom — just a bedroom without a closet,” said member John Gelcich. Member Peter Bouchard added that it would have to be disclosed as a bonus room when it was sold. This echoed concerns from

the Select Board when the project went before it on June 14. At that time, Allen Edinberg requested that the Planning Board not allow the bathroom. “Legally because the closet is not inside the room, it’s not a bedroom, but those are going to be used as a third bedroom,” Edinberg said. He said that upon resale of the property, real estate agents

may market it as a two- to three- bedroom unit. “That will have a significant, potential negative impact on the school population and the school budget,” Edinberg said. Safety, parking concerns Among their concerns, Planning Board members voiced apprehension about the amount of available guest

Do you or someone you love struggle with addiction? I imagine you are feeling… • Frustrated. “I can’t break the cycle of addiction.” • Afraid. “I think I am OK – but I know, deep down, something is very wrong. “ • Trapped. ”Is there a way out?” • Ashamed. “How did this get so bad?” • Worried. “Will my new life be boring?” • Hopeless. “I doubt I can do this.” Not the addict? But live with one? You need help too. Tina Marian RN I have worked as a nurse in the field of addictions since the 80s. Now I am offering my skills as a Life Coach proficient in Energy Medicine to those who are looking for a new, holistic approach, bridging you from the life you are living to the life you desire. Society’s pressures and personal traumas are driving a staggering number of unsuspecting people just like you to feel they must resort to pain-numbing measures - you are NOT alone. Addiction is an insidious monster that creeps in through the backdoor and has you before you even know it. Like a monster, it wears many faces: Substances, nicotine, food, gambling, sex, shopping, hoarding, drama, judgment, gossip, and codependency, to name just a few. I can help you trade in your addiction for a life of freedom. You will have to do your part, but I can help you get there with less of a struggle. I promise I won’t judge you. You can feel safe with me. I totally GET it and I will GET you. Ask yourself: “Who would I be without my addiction?” Think really hard how your addiction has served you. I’m willing to bet it’s become a large part of your identity. Life doesn’t have to become boring, or empty if you stop your compulsive behavior. There is nothing better than breaking old destructive habits. No matter what your situation – addict or worried about one, young or old, hitting rock bottom (for the first or 20th time) or somewhere in the middle, I encourage you to call or email me and schedule a FREE, confidential phone consultation.

Health advisory lifted for Oak Island boat ramp in Shrewsbury SHREWSBURY - The health advisory for the Oak Island boat ramp was lifted on July 28. “Laboratory tests are showing acceptable limits,” the town wrote in a press release. The Board of Health and the Worcester Division of Public Health (WDPH) had issued an advisory for the boat ramp earlier this summer after lab tests indicated high levels of E. coli. The Oak Island boat ramp goes into Flint Pond off Route 20 in Shrewsbury’s Edgemere neighborhood. The departments urged people and their pets to avoid contact with the body of water until further notice. Meanwhile, the advisory for Dean Park pond is still in place. Last month, the town urged Dean Park visitors and their

A health advisory is still in place for the Dean Park pond due to high bacterial levels.

pets to avoid contact with the pond due to high bacterial levels caused by a bloom of cyanobacteria, which is also known as blue-green algae. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cyanobacteria are microscopic organisms that are found naturally in all types of water, but blooms form when cyanobacteria begin to quickly multiply. Harmful blooms can make toxins called cyanotoxins, which the CDC said is “among the most powerful natural poisons known” and can make people and animals sick. When the Board of Health and WDPH first issued this advisory on July 14, they said it would remain in effect until tests indicated acceptable and safe water quality limits.

When a patient has a chest X-ray that reveals something suspicious on a lung, it can take weeks or months to determine if the spot is cancer. For the patient, that means weeks or months of waiting for answers. Fortunately, a team at UMass Memorial Health has helped pioneer a procedure that produces answers in hours. It’s called ROADAT, and it has everyone breathing easier.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS Tavolino remains a community-centric gathering place post-pandemic By Kathryn Acciari Contributing Writer WESTBOROUGH - As the pandemic loosens its hold, Tavolino restaurant remains firmly placed as a hub of the community. “We are definitely excited to host more events and are starting to get more groups coming in,” says General Manager Abby Winant. “During COVID, we had to cap the number of people who could be in the restaurant. Now we have business groups, large families, and local sports teams who come in. We host the Westborough Rotary Club; I really appreciate that they think of us for their events.” The patio at Tavolino is a favorite spot with patrons. “I love our patio. Everyone loves it,” says Winant. “We had the patio prior to COVID, and

we have kept the spacing of the tables since the pandemic. We’ve become aware that people like to have the extra space as they dine and sip wine.” Another change that remains post-pandemic is the plexiglass spacers between the booths in the bar. “We kept the dividers between the booths to create a more private space for people. It also cuts down on the noise level in the bar,” she says. The take-out business at Tavolino has blossomed since the pandemic, and the restaurant has retained its pandemicrelated take-out counter. A popular series for take-out is the family meals. They feed four to six people generously, and include salad and bread with dipping oil. Some of the family meals offered are pasta bolognese, chicken marsala, and chicken parmesan. A new

addition is steak tips with potatoes and green beans. “The family meals are very popular,” Winant says. “They are half-trays of pasta and meat and easily feed six people. They are just the right size for a family.” Winant recommends that people order the family meals at least an hour before they need them. Winant is also excited about the seasonal offerings on the menu. “We change the menu three to four times a year so that seasonal produce can be offered,” she says. “We embrace the Westborough Farmers’ Market, and our chef uses ingredients from the market to plan our specials on the weekend.” The staff get excited knowing that they are serving vegetables that have never been frozen, and the farmers like to

hear what the restaurant is doing with their produce. The philosophy at Tavolino is to create traditional Italian recipes using the freshest ingredients, then add a twist to keep it interesting. For example, they recently modified their caprese salad to use creamy burrata instead of mozzarella cheese. This type of creativity resonates with the restaurant’s community.

HOMES This is a paid advertisement

Are You Ready? By Gary Kelley

“I was born ready,” is a common response. And are you ready? To be ready means you know your:

Gary Kelley REALTOR®

508-733-6005 MoveWithGary.com Gary@MoveWithGary.com

• Plans and are ready to execute. “Plan your work then work your plan.” Know your next step. You don’t have to have the forwarding completed with the post office…. just know a direction. If dates become fluid, do you know your fallback or plan B? • Financial situation or have plans to meet with a financial planner or loan officer to discuss. Many people are surprised to learn their equity position and how far it might go towards a new place.

This causes many to freeze… and the home can sometimes fall into disrepair (sometimes because owners don’t have the money needed, and other times are unaware. It’s a shame when a large asset degrades. • Disposition strategy. We accumulate stuff. Sometimes it’s our stuff, other times it’s our families or friend’s stuff. There are so many options it can be overwhelming. And some of the more obvious places have restrictions on when they can accept items. (Goodwill seems to accept everything.) “Success” at this often de-

grades to measuring how many dumpsters are used. While some stuff is truly junk, often stuff is of value to someone in need. This can be an overwhelming step for some. We suggest labeling the things to be saved and getting the rest out. • Repair strategy – most homes need some “lipstick.” Realtors are good at identifying those areas. I was speaking to someone today who envisioned this as a large ticket items (>$20,000). What was needed in their case was a fraction of that… For example, the front “storm” door was in very poor condition. Rather than spend $500 on a new one, we simply removed the one there. Deck need staining? You may have a neighbor-

hood kid home from college more than happy to stain the deck (keep them safe and off ladders.) • Cleaning strategy – everyone cleans their home to a level where they are comfortable. We stage our listings, and inevitably the home needs a cleaning after we’ve stirred up the dust bunnies. Before and after showings is also a time to give the home some attention. Once everything is out, is another time… often glossed over. The standard is “broom clean.” We like to say it needs to be as clean as you’d expect it when taking occupancy. That’s not always the same as when you moved in! (We just had a house where it was not clean and insisted on the seller paying for a professional cleaner before closing.)

Are you ready? By now you’ve probably figured our I’m asking if you are ready to move. We can always discuss this with you to help formulate your answers.

Whether you’re building or buying a new home, want to make improvements to your current home or looking to refinance, we have

the loan you need. Our experts have been serving the financial needs of the community for 152 years! Call or email Dave for competitive rates for conventional and jumbo mortgages today!

REGION United Way of Tri-County launches backpack drive REGION - The United Way of Tri-County’s annual Tools for School backpack drive is under way. United Way Director of Volunteerism Barbara LaGrenade is working with 18 local agencies to give more than 1,000 backpacks filled with supplies to local children. Those interested in helping the drive can do so by either donating $25 for each backpack and required supplies, choosing a child to sponsor and buying the child the backpack and supplies needed, purchasing back-to-school supplies on Amazon or volunteering to help assemble the backpacks and supplies. “Kids may not always speak up, but having a backpack full of essential supplies; notebooks, rulers, pencils and art supplies, is reassuring,” said United Way

of Tri-County President and CEO Paul Mina in a press release. “Arriving outfitted for the start of school helps them feel confident in their ability to perform at school and with the proper supplies, realize added independence, self-assurance and the start of a successful school year.” People can also purchase school supplies and deliver them directly to the Marlborough Community Cupboard, but the press release said they should coordinate with LaGrenade by calling her at 508370-4902. United Way asked that all backpacks be delivered by Aug. 19 before they are distributed to children on Aug. 22. To donate, people can visit the United Way Tools for Schools page at https://www. uwotc.org/backpack.

Shrewsbury heads to the World Series By Laura Hayes Managing Editor

Shrewsbury players celebrate after they beat Upper Deck.

SHREWSBURY - After being knocked out of the Zone 4 playoffs, Shrewsbury Post 397 is heading to the American Legion World Series. The team had an undefeated run through the Northeast Regional tournament and punched their card to the World Series by beating Rhode Island’s Upper Deck Post 14 on Sunday. “For us, it was just any other game,” said Zach Amero. “We knew what was at stake, but we’ve got to go out and win the game, got to do our job.” Last month, the team’s district season came to a close after they fell to Milford. However, the team was still able to compete in the tournament as the host team. Ultimately, Shrewsbury went all the way and beat Upper Deck 4-2.

“Absolutely phenomenal,” said manager Frank Vaccaro. “They battled. They came back. They were on a mission.” He continued, “I’ve got to tell you, if we didn’t win this thing, I would have been totally, totally disappointed for them. I knew we could do it. It was a question of putting it all together at once, and they picked the right time to put it all together.” The Northeast Regional Tournament, which Shrewsbury hosted at the College of the Holy Cross, kicked off last Wednesday.

Shrewsbury ended up beating Connecticut team Waterford Legion Post 161 13-3 that first game. They went on to beat Upper Deck 3-0, Vermont Post 91 3-1 and Greece, N.Y, 12-4. Vaccaro said he was feeling shocked when he realized the team beat Upper Deck, noting that it was the third time the team has qualified in five years. “We’re going to go to Shelby. It’s a wonderful tournament. We’re going to be spoiled. We hope we’re going to represent Massachusetts and the northeast really well — and Shrewsbury,” Vaccaro said.
