Local hikers can enjoy over 20 miles of Northborough’s trails

By Joyce DeWallace Contributing Writer

PHOTOS/JOYCE DEWALLACE

Northborough - Spring has struggled to arrive this year, and in response, people are more than ready to be outside to enjoy sunshine and blue skies once again. What better way to greet spring than hiking locally!

Northborough is blessed with over 20 miles of trails through thousands of acres of conservation land.

“The town is relatively undeveloped because of several unique circumstances. Much of the trail system is located on property that is either town-owned or state-owned.

The land itself has a lot of ledge and wetlands that don’t lead to development. Steep ravines and steams create nonbuildable terrain,” explained Bob Mihalek, the current chairman of the Northborough Trails Committee. “This area was scoured by glaciers 10,000 years ago. On the trails you might see a boulder the size of a car. Where did it come from? It’s called a glacial

Northborough Trails Committee member Bob Mihalek stands in front of the sign for the new Assabet Park Trail near the center of town.

erratic. As they (the glaciers) push forward like a bulldozer, the rocks are pushed also.

When the glacier melts, the boulders stay where they’ve been dragged.”

Many groups have control of the Northborough trail acreage. The Sudbury Valley Trustees, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation Division of Fisheries and Wildlife manage parcels that house the trails. Other areas are designated as New

England Forestry land, Mass Wildlife management areas, and Northborough Fish and Game land.

The trails have developed relatively recently. According to Mihalek, in the 1930s and ‘40s local kids used paths through the woods to go to school or to other farms. There were no names and no markers. Northborough native Art Cole used to walk these paths regularly, and when he retired, he decided the paths should be formalized, given names and mapped. He felt that with

the advent of the web, maps of the trails could be put on the Internet. The town supported his idea and the trails committee was formed as a subcommittee of the open space committee with Cole as its first leader.

When Charlie Bradley took over as chairman, he worked closely with the local Boy Scout troops, especially on Eagle Scout projects. Since then, the Scouts have completed over a dozen projects.

They do everything from blazing new trails, like the latest Assabet Park Trail near the center of town, to clearing brush, building bridges, laying planks across swampy areas, marking the trails, and keeping them clean. The first Scout project was the Stirrup Brook Trail behind Algonquin Regional High School. The trail splits into two parts, one going toward Hudson Street and the fishermen’s access; and the other toward Boundary Street between Northborough and Marlborough.

The site gives an overview of each trail, its main features, where to park and much more information on the ecological significance, habitat, geology and soils. Posted are volunteer opportunities, details of the monthly committee meetings, even plant and animal lists. If the public sees a problem or need on the trails, they can report that to the committee at ntc01532@gmail.com.

Why should people make the trails part of their life?

According to Mihalek, “this is what the land looked like 150 to 200 years ago. Go out and see huge trees, animals and their tracks and lots of birds, particularly in the swampy areas. It’s good to get away from the cyber world and surround yourself with nature and smell the unique aromas of each season. It’s pure and simple exercise, gets the blood flowing and oxygen to the brain.”

real Mother Nature adores wildflowers.

Probably this imposterlady’s realm did not include wildflowers. She knew all about gorgeous cultivated blooms growing in the greenhouse or arriving in refrigerated trucks.

But perhaps, on her way to work, she didn’t notice the hundreds of wildflowers that the real Mother Nature has sprinkled along New England roadways, blossoms that are cheerful, colorful, stubborn, resourceful, and growing anywhere they darn well please.

Anybody can enjoy them, for free.

I admire wildflowers. They grow without help or encouragement. Each searches its own little niche: moist or dry soil, sun, shade, forest, meadow, beach, mountaintop, sidewalk crack. How many millions of seeds fall on inhospitable soil?

And isn’t it a bit miraculous that so many find exactly the right spot? And that some of them have so generously decided to grow near my very own house?

Violets, buttercups, star flowers, daisies, jack-in-the-pulpits and all their many cousins:

they do what they do, heedless of whether any human beings cares or even sees them.

All they require from me is to do nothing: don’t cut them down, don’t pull them up. And all I need to do to enjoy their beauty is to look.

I could easily become the stereotypical little old lady in tennis shoes and practical hat, carrying a wildflower book, for whom the world stops when she spies a blossom she can’t immediately identify.

That is, I could except that I’m too confused. My beginner’s wildflower book contains 658 photographs of flowering plants common in eastern North America. The more advanced book illustrates 1,553 “of the most common species”in North America; that is, only 1,553 of the most common species, figuring that a normal person doesn’t need to be able to identify 50 kinds of sunflowers or 81 types of buttercups.

Still, I crouch besides the road examining this tiny white daisy-like flower with long thin petals, and I can’t match it to any illustration in either book.

That’s when I decide to

stop worrying about the flower’s name and just enjoy its company.

Speaking of names: Mother Nature may have designed the wildflowers, but I’m pretty sure she didn’t name them. On the one hand, we have lovely flowing names that delight both the tongue and the soul, like lily, forget-me-not, or Canada mayflower.

But it somewhat diminishes the sense of discovery when you spot an interesting flower in a thicket, actually manage to locate its image in the book, and then read that it’s called bastard toadflax. And who named cow vetch? Or the silver-leaf scurf pea? Or the spiny-leaved sow thistle?

That’s one of the questions I would ask the real Mother Nature if could reach her on the phone.

The other question would be the same question I ponder when I consider the world’s amazing variety of birds and fishes and insects and other living creatures. Thousands and thousands of different wildflowers: Why did she think we would need so many? (But I’m glad she did.)

Attract butterflies and birds to your garden this season

By Kristin Steinmetz Outreach Coordinator and Natural History Guide Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook

Butterfly Gardens Robert Frost called butterflies “flowers that fly,” and probably no summer insect is more beloved and welcome than the butterfly. To encourage butterflies to visit your home, consider planting a butterfly-friendly garden which provides: Sun – it provides the “solar power” butterflies need to fly Shelter – tall plants around the garden border protect butterflies from the wind. Joe Pye weed, globe thistle, and bee

Region - Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the wild creatures who share our world.

Whether you have a large yard, an apartment balcony, or some space in between, you can attract butterflies, birds, and other living beauties to your home by providing the food and shelter they require.

Butterflies are attracted to sunny gardens filled with Coreopsis, coneflower, blazing star, milkweed, and black-eyed Susan.

balm are good choices. Native lilies break the wind and provide “landing pads” for larger butterflies, like swallowtails Nectar plants – butterflies sip this sugary fuel through a proboscis, or long tongue.

Coreopsis, coneflower, blazing star, milkweed, and black-eyed Susan are all favorite nectar sources. Whenever possible, stay away from non-native and hybrid flowers. Butterflies prefer the originals.

Host plants – butterfly cat-

erpillars need food, too, and most are very picky eaters.

Consider milkweed for monarchs; dill, parsley, or fennel for black swallowtails; or clovers for sulphur butterflies.

Puddling spots – add a very shallow basin of rocks with water or mud where butterflies can congregate while “sipping” nutrients.

Bird Gardens Bird-feeding stations are great, but bird feeders can be

raided by bears and suet can sour in the summer heat. One long-term solution is to grow the shrubs and trees that provide birds with the food and shelter they need year-round.

As always, native plants are best, including these favorites: High bush and low bush blueberries – an abundance of berries provides summer food for birds and other wildlife.

Ser viceberr y – attractive white spring blossoms produce tiny edible fruits, June through August, that are popular with at least 26 species of birds, including American goldfinch, tufted titmice, and northern cardinals.

Winterberry – a deciduous holly with scarlet fruits that persist into the winter after the leaves fall. At least 12 bird species eat winterberry fruits, including Northern mockingbird, gray catbird, brown thrasher, and hermit thrush.

More Nature-Friendly Gardens Drought-tolerant gardens feature plants that conserve water, thrive in dry conditions,

and are beneficial to wildlife.

Rain gardens capture run-off from rooftops and driveways, filter pollutants, and reduce the amount of run-off flowing to nearby streams and lakes.

Water gardens provide habitat for water-loving plants and animals, like frogs and turtles.

Don’t Leave Home without the SPF Even if you aren’t heading to the beach or sitting by the pool, SPF should be worn all summer long. Not only can sunburns be extremely painful, but exposure to UV rays can cause other health issues such as skin cancer, eye damage and sun poisoning. Even if the kids are heading to play on the swings for a little bit or if you’re going for an early

morning walk – don’t step outside without SPF. Here is a quick formula to ensure that you’re wearing sunscreen that offers maximum skin protection. The best way to figure out which is the right SPF for you is Minutes to burn without sunscreen x SPF number = maximum sun exposure time. In layman’s terms: If it take you 10 minutes to burn without sun screen and you want to wear SPF 10, you have

150 minutes in the sun before you start to burn. Everyone’s skin is different regarding sensitivity to the sun. So make sure your family is protected before you hit the pool!

Eat Smart and Stay Hydrated These are two simple tips to help the whole family stay healthy during those humid months. Although staying active is important, part of your regular diet should consist of tons of water and a balanced diet, especially in the summertime. It’s tough sometimes, especially while on vacation, to eat well. Just remember this: In order to lose fat off our bodies, we need to create a hormonal environment that encourages fat burning and makes us eat less food automatically. So eat healthy foods such as lean meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables and the occasional fruit.

Water is the best way to stay hydrated while out in the sun so eliminating sports drinks and sodas can allow your children to make healthier choices but also keeps them hydrated.

It is also important for parents to understand some symptoms of dehydration which include fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, dark urine, and irritability.

Practice Pool Safety Pools are open and that means lots of swimming! So safety is of the utmost importance. The numbers for drowning and near-drowning incidents for children is astonishingly high. So be sure to not leave your children unattended in or around the pool, no matter their age or swim ability.

offset by what you save and earn with solar, so this approach also has great financial value.

3. Take Advantage of New Loans - Creative new options are being developed as solar takes off, so ask your solar installer how they can help you pay for your system. For example, some loans front you the amount of a 30 percent federal tax credit, interest free, so you don’t have to come up with that money yourself.

4.Enter a Lease or PPA – Some companies offer leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) as a way to get solar onto your roof and save a little on your electric bill. If you don’t mind someone else owning the equipment on your roof and want to save a little while helping the environment, this could work for you.

What’s the difference in financial benefit between these options? As an example, if you bought a 6,540-watt system with high-powered panels, using your own money, the 20-year net benefit is more than $20,000. With a traditional loan, the benefit drops to roughly $11,000 because of the interest you pay. And the new loans might fall in between.

In all cases, you end up spending less on electricity if you install solar than if you did nothing at all. And all options provide significant savings -- it’s just a question of how much.

overnment incentives to install solar electric systems on homes have worked so well that Massachusetts is far ahead of its renewable energy goals, and many people now have a good handle on the benefits of solar. Those benefits include lower electric bills, new income from selling “solar credits,” increased property value without increased taxes, decreased re-sale time for your home, less dependence on your utility and foreign fuel sources, and decades of low-cost, reliable and clean electricity.

But people don’t necessarily have a good handle on how to pay for solar. That’s understandable, because the options have changed so much in the past two years. The right choice is the one that works with your financial means and goals. Here’s an overview of the options.

1.Use Your Own Money – When solar first became available, everyone had to buy solar outright. It’s still a great option for those with the means, because you get the greatest financial return, as many studies have concluded.

Your upfront investment is paid back over time through solar savings and earnings.

2. Use the Bank’s Money - Many people who go solar take out a home equity or other bank loan to pay for the system. Other than an initial deposit, you don’t have to come up with any money upfront, as you use the bank’s money. Even though you make a monthly loan payment to the bank, that amount is

Cellucci Park attracts all ages to downtown Hudson

By Ed Karvoski Jr. Contributing Writer Hudson – Cellucci Park opened in 2008 as the culmination of five years of work and a cost of over $1.4 million. Residents and visitors of all ages now consider it a good investment for downtown Hudson.

Prior to its opening, half of the space was owned by a local business and became an abandoned lot. The other half was town property known as South Street Park, described as “an underutilized area” by Linda Ghiloni, director of recreation.

“It was a small park with nothing there other than a bocce court,” she said.

Funding was available for renovations because of the property’s proximity to the Assabet River.

“It was done through a Community Development Block Grant,” Ghiloni explained. “It was recommended from the Urban River Visioning Initiative that the town was involved in to beautify and use areas along the Assabet River, especially downtown.”

Additional funding was provided by the town and private donations.

The bocce court did get used in South Street Park and remains in the redesigned location.

“Argeo Cellucci Jr. and some of his friends used the bocce court, and it’s still maintained,” Ghiloni said.

The park is named after Argeo R. Cellucci Jr., who chaired the Hudson Economic Development Commission for 39 years.

Among the dignitaries who attended the park’s dedication ceremony in June 2008 was his son, the late Argeo Paul Cellucci, former Massachusetts governor and ambassador to Canada.

Cellucci Park was specifically designed with features for every age group. Perhaps the most utilized area is the splash pad, which operates throughout the summer from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“It has a reclamation system, which enables us to run it even during times when we have a water ban,” Ghiloni noted.

Another popular feature is the sculpted in-ground skateboard park, which is the result of much research.

“We had several design companies come out and give us information before we decided what we were going to do there,” Ghiloni said. “It’s concrete, so it’s much more manageable and easy to maintain than just

A gazebo serves as the stage for a free entertainment series, presented Thursdays at noon. Featured in this summer’s lineup of family-friendly performers are Vic and Sticks, June 26; Rick Goldin, July 17; and Mister Vic, Aug. 7.

In recent years, most activities relocated from Main to South streets for the Hudson Community Fest. Cellucci Park has become the event’s hub with

live entertainment, vendors and representatives of nonprofit organizations. The opening of the splash pad is scheduled to coincide with the 28th annual Hudson Community Fest to be held Saturday, June 7, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Ghiloni is among the Hudson residents who appreciates the 2.8-acre Cellucci Park.

“Now, the park is very much utilized,” she said. “It’s a really pretty area in our downtown.”

THE FUTURE OF ALZHEIMER’S DIAGNOSIS?

T

here is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. While there are treatments for symptoms, the disease can progress undiagnosed for years, which is why new research holds signiÀcant promise. Trials are now underway that show that non-invasive retinal testing could help identify the condition by alerting physicians to the presence of “amyloid plaque deposits” (known markers of the disease).

This means that a simple eye test could help diagnose Alzheimer’s patients and those at high risk for the disease up to 20 years prior to the onset of noticeable symptoms. If further testing proves this initial Ànding to be true, there will be more reason than ever to schedule an eye exam.

P.S. More than Àve million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, which is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

Westborough Library debuts a space to create words and concepts in both of our missions.â&#x20AC;?

Both organizations wanted to encourage all different forms of literacy, introduce ways for the community to come together, and provide a creative outlet.

They came up with the idea for a makerspace to provide residents with the tools to create audio recordings, videos, music and video games, among other things.

The library bought furniture, software and books to learn how to use the software.

Westborough TV donated computers, monitors and other equipment. The space also features a green screen, digital video cameras, digital still cameras and a device to convert videos to DVDs. According to WestboroughTV Executive Director Karen Henderson, residents may make an appointment

to use the equipment, or just â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop by.â&#x20AC;? The space will be staffed with library and Westborough TV personnel and community volunteers.

Ambrosino said that a schedule of workshops will be coming out soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, residents will come to learn and to create. We want them to make stuff,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy to have this space â&#x20AC;Ś open to the public.â&#x20AC;?

The makerspace was created out of a renovated supply closet on the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the library.

By Valerie Franchi Contributing Writer Westborough â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Westborough Public Library wants to encourage creativity, so it recently transformed a former supply closet into a dedicated media makerspace on the second floor. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;makerspaceâ&#x20AC;? is a relatively new concept and simply means a community area with tools for creating.

Earlier this year, the library held a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the new space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the culmination of a year of dreaming, brainstorm-

ing and building,â&#x20AC;? said Library Director Maureen Ambrosino at the event.

In its Strategic Long Range Plan for 2015-19, the library listed among its goals to make the library â&#x20AC;&#x153;a place to encourage creation of all types of content,â&#x20AC;? through hand-on workshops and seeking partnerships with other community organizations.

Last winter, Ambrosino met with Donna Kelly, then executive director of Westborough TV, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;planets aligned,â&#x20AC;?

Ambrosino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked over our vision statements and discovered the same or similar

Peace of mind… is our policy.

As a landscape professional, I often run into people who want low-maintenance properties. “Low maintenance” does not mean “no maintenance”; everything that grows needs to be cared for in a proper manner. A well-thought-out design is the key to a low-maintenance garden: i.e. the right plant for the right location. This can be very tricky because there are so many plants to choose from. Sun exposure, soil moisture, rate of growth, flowering time, size and maturity are just some of the factors affecting how a plant will thrive.

The gardens I have designed require only three main visits a year. The first visit recommended is a spring cleanup that includes fertilization of all shrubs, trees, and perennials as well as a fresh layer of mulch. The second visit is usually around July or August for pruning and weeding.

A well-thought-out design is the key to a low-maintenance garden.

And the third visit is for fall cleanup, cutbacks of all perennials and winterization of all broadleaf evergreens and conifers.

I haven’t mentioned lawns up to this point because they are a beast of their own. The successful healthy lawn requires fertilization five times per year, crabgrass pre-emergent, broadleaf weed spraying on occasion; and of course,

weekly mowing. Lawns are constant maintenance as we all know.

In my experience I’ve also been asked frequently, “Do we really need to put fresh mulch down every year?”

If you’re using bark mulch such as hemlock, pine, cedar, black or enviromulch, the answer is yes. If your garden is properly mulched from year to year there should be no accumulation. A fresh layer of two inches should be put down every spring on existing gardens even if there’s only a little bit left from the prior season.

Fresh plantings around trees and shrubs should be 2 ½ inches, (no more than 3 inches,) which will compact throughout the season to about an inch and a half.

This will create a weed barrier as well as regulating the temperature of the soil for the plants and helping them to retain the moisture needed for proper growth. The mulch should not touch the bark of the tree or woody shrubs.

Perennials gardens only require a very light coating of an inch and a half at most.

I have a practice of spreading Preen through my gardens before and after mulching in other to help minimize new weed growth throughout the season. This will not help with existing weeds that need to be either hand-pulled or sprayed with Roundup.

Irrigation is very helpful to a low-maintenance garden and I would strongly suggest a professional system if possible.

usic plays a role in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. It affects each and every one of us in some way or another.

Can you imagine watching a movie without a soundtrack? The movie would be far less impactful (or exciting!) without music.

Music is a part of different life events. Music brings additional joy to weddings, and heightened excitement for birthday parties and holidays. Can you imagine the winter holidays without holiday music? What is a graduation ceremony without â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pomp and Circumstance?â&#x20AC;?

It is also there to comfort us during the sad moments in life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as funerals and memorials for catastrophic events.

We listen to music in our cars, on our computers, on our mp3 players.

We have certain songs we listen to when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sad and others when we are happy.

Have you ever noticed that music can calm you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling stressed? Or cheer you up when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling down?

Look at all the things music can do! And it can do so much more!

That is the wonder of music.

Regardless of who you are, what you do, where you live, what language you speak â&#x20AC;&#x201C; music brings us together. It is our common language.

So what does this mean for you? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. Even though music has a powerful effect just by listening to it, it has an even stronger effect by playing or singing it.

Have you ever wanted to learn an instrument or learn how to sing? Did you play or sing when you were in high

school? Have you been looking for something to do that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;your thingâ&#x20AC;?? Or something that can provide you with a creative outlet or just a little bit of stress relief ? Consider taking music lessons. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to begin.

Studying music can have a lifelong impact on children as well. Some children are lucky and get to take music

through the study of music.

To learn more about our school and the programs we offer, visit our website at www. worcestermusicacademy.com.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be having an open house on Saturday, May 17 from 2-5 p.m. if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to come visit us.

Museum of Russian Icons to host Soviet art exhibit Clinton - Beginning June 14, the Museum of Russian Icons hosts a new exhibition called Darker Shades of Red: Soviet Art from the Cold War Era from the Hollingsworth Collection. Given current events in Eastern Europe, the exhibit offers visitors a rare opportunity to reexamine the Cold War period through the exploration of the Soviet Union’s official imagery.

Strikingly graphic and explicit in its socialist message, the collection exposes the economic, social and political ideology of the Soviet Union from the mid-1940s to 1990.

The evolution of Soviet poster art can be traced back to the two oldest traditions of Russian graphic art—the lubok and the painted religious icon. Dating back to the early seventeenth century, the lubok (an illustrated woodcut or print) typically combined images with text.

From the Bolshevik Revolution onward, the poster has been an influential source for Soviet dogma. Leaders consigned a high priority on communicating the ideas of revolution, socialism and social responsibility to its citizenry. Posters were used to direct and manipulate mass consciousness in accordance with Communist Party objectives. Allegorical images of Soviet leaders, soldiers, workers, and peasants were common heroic themes; images of machinery symbolized productivity in industry

and farming. Locomotives, sputniks and rockets insinuated a collectivized sense of progress and achievement.

This nationalistic information was communicated to the public through vibrant compositions combining figures, text (often poetry) and geometric blocks of strong color.

The objects in Darker Shades are drawn from the private collection of Gary Hollingsworth, a Florida art restorer who traveled extensively in the former Soviet Union. The exhibit includes 55 original Soviet posters (with translations) and assorted ephemera like medals and orders, statuettes and factory banners.

The Museum of Russian Icons collection of more than 700 Russian icons and artifacts is the largest of its kind in North America, and one of the largest private collections outside Russia. Spanning six centuries, the compendium includes important historical paintings dating from the earliest periods of icon “writing” to the present. The Museum was founded in 2006 as a nonprofit educational institution by Massachusetts industrialist and art collector, Gordon B. Lankton.

The museum is located at 203 Union St., Clinton.

and the West lead to the beginning of the Cold War. Fear of nuclear proliferation and anti-West attitudes were often reflected in Soviet posters during the decades that followed. Civil defense posters explained how to prepare for a nuclear attack.

Caricatures of American and British leaders depicted the West and its political structure as the adversary of the Soviet people.

Propaganda images also trickled down into the homes and day-to-day lives of the people. All schools, shops, factories, apartment buildings and public spaces were speckled with Soviet imagery.

In this closed society, there were no competing images; people were exposed only to what was seen as fulfilling the goals of the Party.

Common objects such as postcards and even children’s books had to reinforce Communist objectives. By observing these official images, we are given an insider’s perspective into life in an authoritarian, autocratic society.
