Evidence abounds in op position to the narrative that the Covid-19 “vaccinations” are “safe and effective.” Until 2020, an “effective” vaccine was one which prevents infec tion. Today, “effective” means that it prevents hospitalization/ death. I would argue that even this statement is up for de bate.

In the limited space I am allowed, I submit the following: On August 11, 2022 the CDC reversed its COVID-19 guide lines. Instead of continuing to dictate its one-size-fitsall policy of social distanc ing, masking and vaccina tions, it is now leaving it up to the individual to determine “which prevention behaviors to use…”. In addition, the CDC has decided that it is no longer necessary to “differ entiate based on a person’s vaccination status because breakthrough infections oc cur.” The CDC also admits that natural immunity exists and works!! This should be no surprise, as vaccines were developed to mimic the body’s natural response to a patho gen. Testing is now reserved for symptomatic people, as opposed to testing everyone — with or without symptoms, which generated a plethora of

BATH & SHOWER:
THINK GREEN:
When buyers walk into an updated bathroom that exudes quality and offers an intimate feel, it’s one of the top things that people will remember about a home.
Updating a tired bathroom is one of the best things you can do to increase a home’s re sale value, and the fixes are not too costly or labor-intensive. Easy changes include adding new, luxurious-looking towels, replacing the shower curtain and adding candles around a bathtub. However, with a little more money and effort, your bathroom can become a talk ing point of the house. Here is a look at five great ways to upgrade a bathroom:
Five Tips to Make Your Bathroom Stand Out
By adding decorative glass, stone tile or accents to the bathroom, it will stand out among the other houses that are for sale. Extra-wide wall tiles are popular these days, and wood cabinets can be beautifully embellished with intricately carved wooden inlays.
COMMUNITY ADVOCATE • Friday, September 16, 2022 • 17
This is an excellent time to sell your property. Buyers are looking for new inventory every day, and I receive calls from buyers and agents asking for new inventory. If you are thinking of selling your home, please call or email me.
The bathroom is a prime place to start employing those environmentally friendly devices. Installing fixtures that save water, such as a low-flow showerhead, a low-flow faucet aerator and a dual-flush toilet, can save thousands of gallons of water each year. Adding energyefficient windows is another easy option, since the size
Not as costly as some of the other tips, changing the fixtures in a bathroom can add a great deal. From cabinet handles to faucets, the addition of brushed nickel or other polished metals is always a huge hit. And, if space permits, consider adding a second sink, a popular request from buyers.
Because of their relatively small size in comparison to the rest of a home, bathrooms are often overlooked in the staging process, but for many buyers, it could be the most important room of all. A bath room is more than just a place for grooming: it’s a sanctuary. It’s a place where you can relax in a hot bath and escape the stresses of daily life for a few moments at a time.
THECONTINUESINVENTORYTOBELOW
Every homebuyer has a vision of their perfect house and the rooms inside that are most important to them.
Direct Line:
LIGHTING:
BEAUTIFY:
UPDATE FIXTURES:
Add more lighting options around the room, especially around the vanity, to reduce shadows and glaring. This is something that isn’t too expensive and can really highlight the positive features of a bathroom. Mood lighting around the tub area is also increasing in popularity.
It’s not too often you hear someone complaining about a bathtub being too large, and that’s because there’s nothing better than coming home from a hard day’s work and relaxing in a big, soothing tub. By putting in a new tub and creating a spa-like atmosphere, you will have buyers imagining themselves washing their cares away. Adding a massage element to
of bathroom windows is relatively small. Another fix that is both decorative and energy-efficient is the addition of natural stone flooring, which helps the bathroom stay cool during the summer and warmer during the winter.

This year’s show is entitled “This is Me,” symbolizing stu dents finding themselves in high school. The show will open with Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” followed by “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi and “This is Me” from the Greatest Showman.
Verdone said. “Whether it be through our band, choir, or contemporary acapella groups, a lot of kids find out who they truly are and who their friends are through our program.”
A yearly tradition, the camp welcomes musicians from eighth to 12th grade for about a week before the start of the school year to hone their skills.

School Committee mem bers Stephen Doret and Steven Bachelor requested that the committee go with the higher number, saying that number can always be reduced if the potential placements don’t happen.Committee member Kristen Vincent said she was “uncom fortable with projections,” to which Doret replied that the projections were “probable.”
The cafeteria managers and principals have been working to communicate these changes to Northborough families.
“We’re finding that younger families are moving in with school-aged children, which is exciting,” he said.
NORTHBOROUGH - Enrollment in Northborough Public Schools has increased, according to a presentation to the Northbor ough School Committee Sept. 7.
“For some, that’s something they haven’t had to do for three years,” Lavoie said.
For students, this means that they will have to know their ID number. The new equipment will not impact the

In what Bock called an “anomaly,” eight students were placed in out-of-district special education programs during the 2022 fiscal year. That not only wiped out all of the district’s allocations for the 2023 fiscal
Specifically, sections of first and fourth grade were added. According to information pro vided in the School Committee’s packet, there are 175 first graders enrolled in all of Northborough’s schools and 181 fourth graders.
The committee will discuss the article — and decide on a number — at its next meeting on Sept. 21.
Martineau connected the increased enrollment to busing and transportation. He said that because of the district’s class size and redistricting policy the enrollment created a burden.
“We would have to start thinking about art on a cart, music in classrooms — not the type of programming we want to provide our students,” Mar tineau said. “That is our next option.”Hesaid there were a couple of schools that had a classroom or two where additional sections could be

“We continue to monitor the budget very closely,” Martineau said.
The policy was revised in 2016 and calls for a target class size range of 16 to 20 students for kindergarten through sec ond grade and between 16 to 22 students for third through fifth.
The district had the students practice this to varying degrees at Northborough schools in the spring, but Lavoie said this year it will be required to account for every student who goes through the line.
