Rehoboth Honors Two Local Heroes Saturday, May 29, 2010 was a beautiful day for a dedication. Under the warm sunny skies in Rehoboth, two native sons were given memorials dedicated to their selfless devotion to their duty and honor.

First Lieutenant Craig Waterman was a medivac helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He and his other three crewman were all killed when their CH-4 was shot down while trying to land to evacuated dead and wounded.

Almost 43 years have passed since that day, July 30, 19 . The Waterman family offered the Town some land for a veterans’ memorial, but the town turned them down.

Until Saturday, May 29th, it didn’t look as if this courageous young Marine would ever be remembered in his home town.

But Legionnaires at Post 302 on Bay State Road have fumed about the Town’s lack of patriotism for many years. At 1:00 PM Saturday, a granite bench was unveiled at the Post’s own memorial located on Winthrop Street (rte 44).

Attending were several dignitaries; State Senator James Timilty, State Representative Steven D’Amico honored the families for their sacrifice. Lt. Col Paul Landry, Commander of the 9th Troop Com-

mand, Home Land Security, based in Rehoboth, represented the State Adjutant General, Major General Carter. The American Legion was praised by the State American Legion Commander, Bill Barbour, for taking the initiative to honor these fallen heroes . Eulogies were given by long time friend, Roger Berault and Walter Wisniewski, a USMC and Vietnam veteran who knew Waterman from his days at Pensacola, FL. Lt Waterman is survived by his brothers George Waterman of Rehoboth and Randy Waterman of Rehoboth. Members of Marine Corp League 1218 in Dighton acted as honor guards for the fallen Marines and assisted with the dedication. continued on page 3

Town of Rehoboth News Notes

by Laura Calverley Post 302 Junior Vice Commander Michael Costello, father of three daughters serving on active duty, thanked the crowd of about four hundred for attending and paying tribute to the lives of the two fallen Marines.

American Legion Post 302 is located on Bay State Road and is commanded by George Amaral. Post Adjutant Bill Saunders acted as master of ceremony.

While only seven years late, American Legion Post 302 also dedicated a matching granite bench in memory of Capt Benjamin Sammis, also of Rehoboth. Capt Sammis was a Cobra helicopter pilot killed while armed support in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, April , 2003. Eulogizing Capt Sammis was long time family friend, Bruce Morris of Barrington, RI. Marine Tom Lyons, from the Marine organization, Semper Fidelis, eulogized both Marines drawing on the similarities in their military careers and their dedication to their country. Capt Sammis is survived by his widow, Stacy Sammis, his parents, Steve and Beth Sammis of Rehoboth and two brothers, Adam and Jeff.

Both Rehoboth natives graduated from Dighton –Rehoboth Regional High School.

Waterman was in the first graduating Class of June 19 1. Sammis graduated in 1992.

Waterman went on to Wentworth Institute to a degree in Technical Engineering before entering the Marines. Sammis graduated from The Citadel in 199 .

1LT Waterman’s remains were interned in Rehoboth Village Cemetery in 1993 after fifteen years of being missing in action.

Remains of his crew are interned together at a marked area in Arlington National Cemetery. Capt. Sammis was interned at Arlington National Cemetery with full Military Honors in 2003.

Elements of the Patriot Guard, a motor cycle group of Vietnam and current veterans were on hand to witness the dedication, The Patriot Guard members came from several New England states and some had attended a dedication in Plymouth Massachusetts earlier in the day, traveling to Rehoboth to attend the afternoon ceremony.

Chaplain Veronica Hass, from Post 302 offered several prayers during the service.

The Rehoboth Militia saluted with a firing volley and a vocal and flute rendition of Amazing Grace. Buglers from Dighton Rehoboth Regional High School Band provided Taps.

Bristol County Agricultural High School - FFA Fundraiser

“Each March Bristol County Agricultural High School (BCAHS) sends many students to the Massachusetts State FFA convention in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Then in October, those who performed well in their competitions move onto the National FFA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.

At these conventions students gain leadership skills, confidence, and knowledge for future agriculture based careers. This year to ensure no students are left behind we are having a raffle.

The raffle has been donated by Mr. Mendonsa, a history teacher at our BCAHS; thanks to him all profit will go to the Bristol FFA Chapter. The winner of the raffle will receive either a four hour fishing trip or a three hour tour of the Newport Mansions.

The tickets are 1 for $ or for $20 and the winner will be drawn in late June. If you are interested we ask that you email bhardro@ bcahs.com for more information.”

New School Policy on Flyers

There will be a new school policy on the distribution of flyers in the schools, effective July 1. The new policy states: “Only flyers/notices meeting the following criteria will be distributed through the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District. The Superintendent must approve each flyer, the organization must be non-profit and registered as a 01C3 or a sanctioned school or town organization. Flyers must clearly state that, if not a school-sponsored program, the program is not part of or endorsed by the district, and the group/organization must provide the packets.”

Blanding Library Gets Overwhelming Approval at Town Meeting

By Laura Calverley

Voters overwhelmingly approved funding for Blanding Library at the annual town meeting on May 24. The vote was 2 to 9 to approve funding of $19 , 0 to keep the library open for the next fiscal year. Because $ 0,000 of the total was from the stabilization account, the vote needed a two-thirds majority and it was easily achieved. The meeting had a record turnout, with almost 0 residents coming out to vote.

“This is the most highly attended town meeting that I, as town moderator, has seen,” said Town Moderator Bill Cute.

The meeting began with a special town meeting that lasted less than 30 minutes. All four articles on the special town meeting warrant were approved including reimbursing about $4,000 in police detail fees that Police Chief Steve Enos said “had been determined as uncollectible,” paying about $13,000 in contract benefits to the retired Council of Aging director, transferring funds from Overlay Surplus to the Reserve Fund, and transferring funds from the Board of Health to Veterans’ Benefits.

There was a short discussion about whether to include interest in the COA director’s payout, which was put forth as an amendment.

But Finance Committee Chairwoman Sue Pimental said it would set a bad precedent to add accrued interest, and the amendment was defeated.

When the discussion began on the budget for Fiscal Year 2011, Moderator Bill Cute made it clear that he would only be following the Finance Committee’s budget recommendations that were printed on a separate handout from the warrant. There had been some controversy surrounding the 2011 budget in the warrant because it was prepared by selectmen and included their recommendations as well as those of the finance committee.

“I said it. I’m saying it again. This is what we go by,” said Cute, pointing to the Finance Committee’s budget handout.

Pimental then motioned for the “Culture and Recreation” section of the budget, which included the funding for Blanding Library, to be moved up in the agenda and voters agreed. Discussion of the library’s funding took up most of the rest of the night.

First, Library Trustee Ted Ballard proposed an amendment to increase the amount allocated to the library from $18 ,000 to $19 , 0 , which is the amount needed for the library to guarantee it would keep its certification.

“It’s important to note that the $40 difference between the amended amount and the budgeted amount means not having to apply for a waiver,” said Library Treasurer Werner Horlbeck.

Then there was a lengthy discussion on whether part of the library’s funding should come from stabilization, as the finance committee was recommending.

Selectman Kevin McBride, who had said he did not support his fellow selectmen’s budget recommendations, spoke in favor of the finance committee’s recommendations.

“As I said earlier this year, every cross section of this community uses that library. We’re proud to have it. It needs to remain a part of this community. I unequivocally support the finance committee’s recommendation so we can assure certification without requiring a waiver,” McBride said.

Selectman Chairman Ken Foley said that the stabilization account’s main purpose is capital improvements and that there is only about $1.3 million left in the account.

“We have major repairs needed. We’re going to exhaust that $300,000, bringing us under a million and jeopardizing our bond rating. The money’s not there for that. We’ll show you later on, that we can make cuts in this budget and not have to use stabilization,” said Foley.

Resident Dave Foss pointed out that the only way to avoid stablization was to take the money from other budget items.

“The place that’s proposed to do that, is taking it from the Planning Agent and Conservation Agent and some others. Right now those people protect us and our natural resources…We cannot rely just solely on volunteer boards. … I believe it’s in the best interest of this town to use stabilization to support this as opposed to making other cuts in very important areas,” Foss said.

Library Treasurer Werner Horlbeck proposed an amendment to raise and appropriate the entire amount of the library’s funding, but voters did not approve his recommendation.

When the vote finally came up to approve the library’s funding, someone asked what would happen if the line item was not approved by a two-thirds vote. A short break was taken and Moderator Cute then told voters that if voters did not approve, then “the funding source is dried up” and there would be 0 funds for the library.

The vote was taken and it looked like practically every hand in the room went up. Blanding Library’s funding was overwhelmingly approved, 2 to 9 .

After the vote, former selectmen tired of the Skip Vadnais brought up the issue of reconsideration. By defeating a reconsame b.S. (bad service) weeKly sideration vote, residents could precall vent the possibility of their vote on the recycliNG 508-252-9800 library being changed. It was another overwhelming vote. The townspeople did not want to change their vote on the library.

Support For The Seekonk Rehoboth Five Year Plan?

By the time this article is printed the first Senior Center of the series of Town Meetings will have

The excitement is building, following the April 28 Seekonk Board of Selectman Meeting during which the proposed Seekonk Senior Center received the unanimous support of all Selectman in attendance as well as Michael Carroll, Town Administrator. The current facility on Pleasant Street is not at all pleasant, it is very difficult to navigate for individuals with any handicaps and one wonders how the staff manage to help provide social services to all Seekonk residents, regardless of age…. they must be very creative in light of their work environment. Hopefully, Seekonk has finally turned the corner and a functional, most needed building may be on our horizon.

Although it is being named the Seekonk Senior Center, in reality it will be a senior/ community center. Kudos to Dave Bowden and Mr. Reinke for their joint efforts in formulating an “idea” that appears to be economically feasible and in the realm of getting it done. As for the suggested location, Town Hall, Police/Fire Central, Animal Control Facility and the proposed Community Center, what could be better?

I realize that the voters of Seekonk have not been in favor of this proposal in the past, however, the need is now, the momentum, hopefully, will move forward, and, those who have vetoed the center may, one day, use it, either for social service needs, which are not all senior related, especially in this economy, or, when they, too, become seniors. The age related calendar never stops, for any of us.

Voters, you have said yes to many other requests, please consider another yes. And, those voters who do not regularly attend Town Meetings consider doing so. Put your taxes to work for you on this matter.

Remember, a new center is not a luxury, it is a definite need!

Yes, the excitement IS building, and there is HOPE. Barbara Malloy Seekonk

already taken place. Many if not all of our surrounding communities are down to bare bone budgets. Across the board State Aid will continue to decline. Town services are unsustainable with current Tax Revenue. I believe that our Finance Committee, Selectmen, and Town Officials are doing the best they can with the tools they have. They are so busy scrambling to make ends meet from month to month that it is overwhelming to look at the big picture and have time to think much beyond the current fiscal year. Our town is not alone in this endless frustration.

I believe the answer lies with the State lowering the threshold for accreditation for all municipalities and consolidation of services wherever possible. The Blanding Library is the tipping stone this year. It has been suggested that every household donate a few dollars a year, but what about next year and so on. If memory serves me… a while back the town voted to allow a few dollars to be added to our tax bill to supplement Rehoboth’s Land Trust. When we needed the new DR septic system, a debt exclusion was proposed at a cost of only a few dollars per household. All these “few dollars” add up. The revenue is certainly needed to support adequate services, but what about next year? Are we going to be asked to contribute a few more dollars for a Tree Warden, or Police Chief, or replacement emergency vehicles and equipment?

Maybe we will have to, but to me it seems like circumventing the inevitable override of Prop 2 ½, which every community might be forced into.

As far as the Blanding Library is concerned, personally I would not want to see it “mothballed,” but we might not have a choice next year. I attend functions regularly there, and the staff is very cooperative, but I have to question if it is more of a priority to the town then ESSENTIAL town workers, like continued on next page

C.O.D. HEATING SERVICE

Conservation, Tree Warden, Public Works, Police, and Fire.

Within a 20 minute drive, I can get to at least 5 state accredited libraries. A hundred years ago a local library was pivotal to the community because of transportation limitations. Now with the power of the internet and books on “Kindle” and cable TV and “Netflix,” the times are changing. Maybe it’s time for consolidation to a few well equipped regional libraries where communities would pool their resources. Smaller libraries like Blanding could be run by volunteers just for the sole purpose of meetings and functions with no inventories to maintain.

The other thing that doesn’t make any sense is the regulation that if a local library is forced to close because of budget restraints then those residents are in effect “Blackballed” from using any other library in the state forever. It appears foreseeable that communities will be forced to cut funding to less than state mandated levels for many services. We all need to put our emotions aside and collectively decide who or what services are deemed bare bones essential. Sacrifices will have to be made and people forced to settle for less than what we think we deserve.

Respectfully, John Courchesne

Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Beth Dalpe.

I am a mother to 3 beautiful children, the youngest of which, (Alex) has very specific and chronic medical issues due to Dravet Syndrome.

After getting involved with our local emergency medical services, I feel inspired to encourage families and individuals in town who also have special medical needs to do the same as my husband and I have.

Until one night about 4 ½ years ago, calling 911 was something my husband and I only heard about or saw on television. Now calling 911 has become, unfortunately, almost a routine. When Alex was only 4 months old he suffered from a huge Grand Mal seizure, we went to the hospital by ambulance, and was sent home a day later with hopes that this was a one-time event and we would never have to experience that kind of terror again. Well, our wishes unfortunately were not answered. In fact, they were just the opposite. Two months later it happened again, this time even worse.

911 was called again. This same scenario happened over and over again. At this time we lived in Seekonk and we began to know most of the medics and EMT’s by name. After months of seizures, we received a diagnoses, our little boy has a catastrophic form of epilepsy, Dravet Syndrome. We learned that this vicious cycle of seizures and 911 calls would not only not go away but potentially get worse with time.

Soon after, we bought a home here in Rehoboth. Given our situation we needed to know the emergency services here, as it is considerably different. We needed to figure out a plan knowing that these 911 calls were not going to go away.

We thought that the Ambulance/Rescue workers should know Alex’s specific condiHours tion and emergency medical needs as they M•T•T•F are very unique to his condition. Having 9-5 some sort of plan in place would be ideal, Wed til 8 a “protocol” if you will. So when the call Sat 9-1 comes in for the ambulance to come to our home, no matter who responds, they know what needs to be done. ...more letters on page 8

Uncompromising.

CANCER CARE at STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. COMPREHENSIVE. ADVANCED. CLOSE TO HOME.

If you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, the last thing you should have to worry about is leaving the comfort and familiarity of your community for treatment. And you don’t have to. In all but the rarest of instances, you can get all of your cancer care coordinated and delivered through Sturdy Memorial Hospital.

Our oncology team consists of well-regarded, experienced physicians and nurses who have dedicated themselves to helping people deal with the unexpected changes brought on by cancer.

They have access to the most advanced technologies used by cancer professionals today and are

constantly incorporating the latest treatment protocols into their practices to ensure patients receive the very best care.

Amazing medicine. Surprisingly close.

Participation in national clinical trials, chemotherapy, infusion therapy, an impressive radiation therapy center, and comprehensive surgical capabilities are just some of the tools in our armament to deliver top-notch cancer care right in our community. We understand that cancer treatment is often a long journey.

But it needn’t take you far from home.

To learn more, talk to your doctor or visit our website.

8 The Reporter June 2010 So going through routine questions such as medications, medical history etc. can be avoided or done in the Ambulance and transport can be done as quickly as possible. This “protocol” follows Alex even in school with the school nurse and his teachers and aides. Everyone is informed of Alex’s medical issues and emergency needs.

Educating the teachers, school nurse, and emergency staff on the protocol makes a horrible experience of having to call 911, move smoothly and like clockwork. This has worked wonderfully for us thus far. I personally believe that anyone who has a need for such a protocol should contact Rehoboth Ambulance. Candidates for this protocol are the chronically ill, elderly who live alone (who in an emergency may not be able to speak for themselves) or medically fragile individuals who have complicated medical issues.

Our local EMT’s and Paramedics in turn will also be able to do their jobs more effectively with your information in hand. Help them, Help You. To inquire about getting an emergency protocol, please contact Steve Haskell at Rehoboth Ambulance. Phone # 08-2 2-3029 Thank you, Beth Dalpe

Tomorrow Fund Fundraiser To Benefit Emma Wheeler

My name is Susan Howard. I am a resident of Rehoboth MA. I have a passion in my heart to create this fundraiser to honor our little hometown hero Emma Wheeler. She is in 3rd grade at the Palmer River elementary school. She goes to school with my three daughters. This past year Emma had to have a kidney removed due to cancer, and has had to go through chemo and radiation. She has missed a lot of school, but is a real trooper and an inspiration to so many.

Her story touched my heart because my house has been struck with cancer this year. My husband was diagnosed with colon and thyroid cancer around the same time as Emma. As a wife and Mother I know first hand what cancer does to a family. We are fortunate to have wonderful insurance and did not experience a terrible financial burden due to my husband’s treatments.

This experience has made me very aware of how many people are affected financially because of cancer.

It is a true blessing to create this fundraiser for the Tomorrow Fund an organization that helps families of children diagnosed with cancer. www.tomorrowfund.org

David Saad Announces His Platform As Candidate for State Representative local Aid

FREE lemon grass Spa hand dipped bones Shampoo, Teethbrushing, paw Treatment & pet Facial with grooming with Purchase of Standard grooming

Our cities and towns have been hit hard by the frequent cuts in local aid payments by the state. Municipalities have been told by state leaders to revise their budgets mid year, for two consecutive years. And that has created a mess with critical, local duties like fire and police protection, education and library services. Our cities and towns have been devastated by the insensitive and absurd budgeting habits on Beacon Hill.

Beacon Hill should stop trying to balance the budget on the backs of local governments. State government should be cut before local government – that hasn’t happened. We have , 00 more state employees than we did in 2004. That’s wrong and that has to change.

I believe cutting local aid should be forbidden right now. We need to offer cities and towns a more predictable revenue sharing formula, one based on a defined share of state taxes.

As a Representative I’ll use my business experience to promote policies in state government to help our cities and towns succeed.

I will propose a rollback of the sales tax to %. However, 4% will be returned to the state while the remaining 1% will go to the local cities and towns in the towns, whose businesses have raised the sales tax revenues.

We are losing jobs to other states because of erratic tax laws, unfair health care costs that penalize small businesses. Not to mention high-energy costs, and unreasonable rules, regulations, and permitting laws enacted by state bureaucrats who’ve never met a payroll.

As your Representative, I will create a strategy for Massachusetts that focuses on every business in the state, not just a chosen few. And, I will be committed to following through on that strategy during my term.

Simply put, making our state friendlier to business means more jobs for our people.

I will invite business owners from a cross section of different businesses and look at our existing laws and make changes with their input to help stimulate business. I will also work to create a climate that retains and attracts business to our state.

healthcare

Massachusetts Health Care reform was a step in the right direction. But under Beacon Hill and Governor Patrick, health care reform has gotten out of control. It was intended to make quality care more affordable for families, individuals, and for small businesses, and create more choices for individuals.

Now we have more mandates, less options, and higher costs.

As your Representative, I’ll make health care in Massachusetts more affordable for our families, and for small businesses. I’ll demand that providers publicly disclose their prices for services, because we can’t lower costs until providers disclose exactly what they’re charging patients and insurLetters continued on page13

ers. Expand the coverage that protects low-income seniors. I’ll work with our US representatives to get a waiver from the federal government that streamlines funding for Medicare and Medicaid to create a single, coordinated program for those who qualify for both programs.

By re-structuring the program and move to a managed care model for MassHealth recipients, we’ll improve the quality of care and save millions of taxpayer dollars.

Education

As a former educator I believe in order to meet tomorrow’s economic challenges Massachusetts must start with our students and teachers. We cannot allow politics to play any role in our educational process. School systems must adopt accountability, flexibility, performance and innovation. If all of our young people were to have a good education available to them we wouldn’t need divisive programs like “Affirmative Action” to level the playing field later in life.

I believe education is not only a basic right but also the cornerstone to our future as a society. As your representative, I will focus on giving our classrooms back to our teachers so that they can focus on educating. Too much time is spent on matters unrelated to teaching. Classroom time should be fully spent on learning and not on discipline matters. Judges and courts have done too much harm to our educational process. The success of our children and our future starts with strengthening our public schools.

The place is McCoy Stadium. The date is Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The rivals are the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees and the Pawtucket Red Sox. The winner will be the Big Brothers of Rhode Island.

That Tuesday evening will mark Big Brothers Night at McCoy and the Paw Sox will generously donate a portion of all the tickets that we sell to help us continue the vital work of providing adult companionship and guidance to boys without a father at home.

Festivities will include: 1. Big and Little Brothers will participate in the pre-game ceremonies by marching on the field.

2. A Little Brother will throw out the first ball.

3. Advisory Board Member James McBride “Mr. Deep Positivity” will sing the Big Brothers Song.

4. At the seventh inning stretch, Advisory Board Member Danielle Lima will sing God Bless America.

There will be the usual Red Sox-Yankee intensity from players just a step away from the major leagues and the customary good food, sight lines and family atmosphere of McCoy. Tickets are only $7, so get a bunch from our office, bring your family and Little Brother and enlist your friends, neighbors and fellow workers to help our cause. The more tickets we sell, the more our organization benefits.

Preventing Mosquito Bites

Now that we are in June, we find that a very wet spring and early season above average temperatures have brought out those annoying pesky mosquitoes. While the risk of getting diseases from mosquitoes is low, it is still possible.

To prevent mosquito bites, apply insect repellent containing DEET (N, N diethylmetatoluamide) to your clothes and skin. The repellent is available in varying strengths up to 100%. In young children, use a preparation containing less than 24% strength, because the chemical can be absorbed through the skin. Repellents containing permethrin or other EPA-registered repellents such as deltamethrin may be used on clothing only, as mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing.

Do not apply repellents containing permethrin and deltamethrin to exposed skin.

Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever you are outdoors. Some people may wish to wear mosquito netting over the face as well. Limit outdoor activities at dawn,

dusk, and early evening, when mosquitoes are most active. Install or repair window and door screens so that mosquitoes cannot get indoors.

Reduce Breeding sites

Reduce mosquito breeding sites by eliminating sources of standing water in the yard where mosquitoes may lay eggs. Fill, cover, or remove any items that can trap water. Common mosquito breeding containers include: Bird baths – change the water weekly and clean the bath on a regular basis Outdoor pet dishes – change the water daily not just to prevent mosquito breeding but also for your pet’s health Flower pots – remove any overflow water that has collected in the dish beneath the pot Ponds – consider purchasing mosquitoeating fish or even ducks if the pond cannot be drained Tires Gutters – clean and remove debris on a regular basis to prevent water from collecting Wheelbarrows Wading pools Trashcan lids and recycling bins Puddles/ditches in your driveway Swimming pools (not in use) – keep pool water aerated and chlorinated; cover when not in use Trim grass regularly The phone number for Bristol County Mosquito Control is ( 08) 823- 2 3. Please call them if you need to have your yard sprayed.

If steps are taken to keep pesky mosquitoes at bay, more time can be spent at playgrounds, ball games, and barbecues than scratching itchy bites.

Advice Column: Why should Amy or Annie have the last word in giving advice?

Thinking things over, I’ve come up with some helpful advice myself. Some of this was learned the hard way. Here goes: Don’t go to the mountains on spring break unless you want to see snow. I couldn’t wait to see Taos, New Mexico, again on a recent trip to the Southwest, since I really liked it when we were there 1 years ago in August. Turns out that it is still very much winter there the last week of March (it was snowing April 1) and the town itself is still pretty much shut down for the winter. The Taos ski resort is some distance away and we don’t ski anyway. We went to a restaurant for dinner where we were the only customers the whole time. The food was OK but it felt very weird. I don’t know why they stay open in the off season. The snow-covered mountains were quite beautiful, however.

June 2010 The Reporter Santa Fe and Albuquerque were quite pleasant in early spring, ranging from warm and sunny to cool and cloudy, even if the trees and flowers weren’t blooming yet. The flip side of this advice is don’t go to Albuquerque in the middle of summer if you can’t stand the heat, though it’s not nearly as bad as Phoenix. Everyone says to visit New Mexico in autumn. I hope to some day. While we were chuckling as we looked at the Santa Fe River (which was little more than a trickle), the rivers back home were going on a rampage. We returned to our soggy home on April 3, which brings me to: Don’t assume that your basement will never flood just because it’s never happened in over 30 years. The corollary to this is don’t assume that it can’t rain 8 to 10 inches in one day. Do count your blessings if you were away for the whole monsoon, and the airport was only closed while you were away and reopened in time for your return. We only had a little water in the basement, though April 4 was less Easter Parade and more bucket brigade. My sympathy to those who suffered real damage in the floods, and to those whose lives are still inconvenienced with some local bridges washed away or severely damaged.

For the first time that I can recall, our return flight went right over our neighborhood (heaven knows enough planes go over our house daily but never one that I was on). This view of Rehoboth was a treat. The Palmer River was glittering in the afternoon sun and looked about twice its normal size. It was quite a dramatic view of the old hometown from above.

Now, since it is June, here is some brief advice for graduates and other young people: Don’t be a twit on Twitter or a fool on Facebook. You’d think everyone would know this by now, but I recently heard a story about a new hire in an office, which shall be nameless here, who started criticizing her new co-workers on Twitter for all to read.

Maybe she wanted to get fired, but we can call this one How To Lose A Job In Days.

Don’t stay inside on a beautiful day if you can help it. Once outdoors, stop texting and enjoy the wonders of nature. (But if you go to the beach, don’t forget the sunblock.) A perfect summer day is a fleeting thing. Carpe diem. Likewise, don’t let online socializing take the place of real human contact; there’s nothing like it online.

Don’t forget to send thank-you notes for gifts, whether graduation, wedding, or what have you. Writing a note on paper is best (your parents or some other old person can give you a stamp and show you how we used to send letters). But I’ll gladly settle for an email. Anything is better than just waiting to see if the check clears. If you don’t know what to say, a few simple words are best: “Thanks very much for your gift. I/we really appreciate it.” That’s all you need to say. Just do it.

Parents of recent graduates, do check out an extremely funny spoof in the May 24 issue of The New Yorker magazine (available online) called “Your New College Graduate: A Parent’s Guide” by Simon Rich. There’s helpful advice on how to handle the little darlings when they return home after college, what to do when they scream or are fussy, and how to wean them off the bottle. After all that tuition money, you at least deserve a good laugh.

The Seekonk Scene Town Clerk’s Corner

By Jan Parker, Seekonk Town Clerk

We have been busy certifying signatures for candidates for the September 14th State Primary. The candidates that win in September will go on the November 2nd State ballot.

There are several candidates from Seekonk competing for the State Representative position. The Governor’s position will be on the November ballot also. We are expecting big voter turnouts everywhere for that election.

save - A - Pet

Save a Pet is collecting items for the animal shelter. Cleaning supplies such as paper towels, laundry detergent, bleach, chewy dog treats, peanut butter, kongs, washable cat beds, Arm and Hammer kitty litter, Pedigree canned dog food, and Purina Cat Chow are all needed at the shelter. The barrel is in the Town Hall lobby for those donations or you may bring them to the Town Clerk’s office and we will see that they get them. The shelter is always collecting used printer toner cartridges. They are recycled and the shelter receives the money for them. The barrel for the cartridges is also in the lobby of Town Hall.

Veterans Agent

The Veteran’s Agent is also collecting items to send to our troops. If you wish to donate, the list of items is on our website at Seekonk.info. You may bring items to this office that you would like to donate and we will see that the agent gets them. It is a nice way to remind our men and women who are serving in the military that we are grateful for their service.

yard sale Permits

A reminder that yard sale permits are required in Seekonk.

The fee is $ .00 per day and you may have four sales a year. This office issues the permits.

Seekonk Community Preservation Committee

The Seekonk Community Preservation Committee will hold a Public Hearing on June 1 at :00 p.m. in the Town Hall Board of Selectmen’s Room. The hearing will also be televised live on Seekonk Cable Channel 1 . The purpose of the meeting is to introduce the application procedure for CPA grants and to encourage residents of Seekonk to ask questions and familiarize themselves with the Community Preservation Act (CPA).

The CPA was adopted by Seekonk in April 2009 and allows the Town to use monies collected from a 1.2 % levy on residential tax bills plus money from a State matching grant for projects in the areas of Open space, Historic preservation, Affordable community housing and Recreation. Projects can be developed by individuals or organizations, but they must meet the criteria set forth in the Application Process. Although the CPC selects the projects, all must be voted on by Town residents at a Town Meeting and only those projects receiving a majority of votes can proceed.

More information about the CPA can be found on the committee’s web site at www.Seekonk.info. Information is also available on www.communitypreservation.org.

David Saad On Ballot For State Rep. ~ 4th Bristol District ~

Seekonk, MA – David Saad, Republican candidate for Massachusetts State Representative, 4th District, has been confirmed by the Secretary of State to be on the ballot.

“Beacon Hill has stopped working for the people of Massachusetts, said Saad.

Beacon Hill’s only answer to our problems is to raise taxes and grow government. The state pension fund is out of control; our healthcare system has failed to perform in a fiscally responsible manner. And, the worst part of it is that Beacon Hill wastes time on reprehensible and dangerous bills like the “Bathroom Bill” that will only place our children in harms way. What’s needed is a serious dose of common sense.”

Mr. Saad served two terms as representative to the Seekonk Town Meeting under the previous town charter. He was also elected to terms to the Seekonk Planning Board.

While on the planning board he also served as its chairman.

He is a former High school teacher and baseball coach. After leaving education Mr. Saad started up and sold a number of small

October 10, 2009 was the day the Wheeler family lives were changed forever. Until then, Emma Wheeler was just a normal eight year old girl. She was a happy third grader and liked to practice her gymnastics and play with her friends.

After returning from a trip to Disney World, Emma had not been feeling well and had a fever. She went to see her primary care doctor, and was eventually taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI for diagnostic tests. It was determined that Emma had a cancerous tumor growing on her kidney, clinically known as a WILMS Tumor. This type of tumor is seldom found in children over the age of . Being 8 years old, Emma’s tumor had grown to almost 2 pounds.

Emma underwent a hour surgery to remove the cancerous tumor, as well as her kidney and surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. The tumor was sent to pathology which determined that the cancer was at stage 3 of a possible scale of . Emma’s tumor also tested positive for L.O.H. (loss of Heterozygosoty), a genetic issue which research studies have found correlates to a higher reoccurrence of cancer. This meant that Emma required a more aggressive chemotheraphy treatment in order to prevent a reoccurrence of the cancer.

Emma was subjected to radiation treatment as well as chemotherapy. She will be continuing her weekly chemotheraphy regimen for approximately 33 weeks. The Wheeler family and many other families like them have been challenged by this disease, yet they forge ahead with the strength and inspiration of friends and loved ones. Emma’s perpetual smile gives us all hope.

If you wish to contribute to a fund to help Emma and other children and families in need, please make your checks payable to: Emma Wheeler Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Inc., c/o Andre Toldo, Key West Blvd., Rehoboth, MA 02 9.

Owner/Operator Office: 508-399-6211 Most of you know that I lost my beloved little brother Tedd Fully Insured Cell: 508-272-7729 to suicide. Tedd was my best friend. We spent many vacations together and even shared tattoos. I spoke to him the day before he ended his life. We were making plans to see each other. The fact that he lived in San Francisco during the last 13 years of his life only made our bond stronger.

For the past four years of grieving him, I have been unable to talk about the terrible way in which my family lost Tedd. This walk is giving me a chance to finally confront the truth and be able to speak INC. about it in a way that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reaching out for pity. I want to bring my own experience Out of the Darkness.

I would do anything to help her.

Four Local Residents Achieve Black Belt Rank

Rehoboth residents, Lucas Szydlowski, Jack Szydlowski, and Michael McCarthy, as well as Jeffrey Goodman of Attleboro proudly achieved the rank of Shodan, First Degree Black Belt on Sunday, May 1 , 2010. Shihan John Agostini, Head Instructor of USA Karate – Rehoboth has trained these Martial Arts students for the past 3 ½ years, and proudly recommended them for this advancement.

Shihan John explains that “being a Black Belt is more than just knowing Martial Arts, its being an example to others, a role model, a leader and a teacher to those who follow. Each of these students has worked and trained very hard to attain their goal of Black Belt.

They pushed through a grueling testing process demonstrating their tenacity, determination and composure under pressure. These young men are fine examples to younger students who are striving to achieve their goals in the future.”

Timilty, Senate Vote To Strengthen Immigration Policy And Implement Inmate Fees

Boston, MA – By a margin of 28-10, Senator Jim Timilty (D-Walpole) and his Senate colleagues voted to enact a sweeping reform of immigration policy that will greatly limit the public assistance afforded to illegal immigrants, and increases penalties on those who knowServing Rehoboth ingly violate federal law by employing workers who are in the Commonwealth illegally. for Over 20 Years Components of the reform measure will debar contractors who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, and will require public vendors to verify citizenship or face stiff penalties.

Additional policy changes included new penalties for falsifying state IDs and driver’s licenses, and a ban on illegal immigrants accessing in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities.

Call David “In this difficult economy, many of my constituents have fallen on hard times,” said Senator Timilty. “In no way, should we be handing out benefits and financial assistance 508-252-4773 to someone who is not a legal resident of the Commonwealth, or this country. I was very happy that the Senate acted on these important immigration policy changes.”

Senator Timilty also supported an initiative by Senator Michael Moore that would allow Fully Insured sheriffs to set a fee schedule for services provided to inmates. This effort has been tried with success in certain counties throughout the district. The measure would allow the sheriff to FREE ESTIMATES set fees for dental and sick calls, eye glasses, prescriptions, and a host of other services.

All Work Guaranteed The collection of fees would help to offset the budget deficit faced by many of the sheriffs, while simultaneously setting aside twenty-five percent of said fees to support inmates with cognitive-behavioral treatment issues.

“I am hopeful that the fees collected by the Sheriffs will help support their ongoing efforts in keeping our community safe while also offsetting the costs of providing essential services to offenders,” stated Timilty.

On Eve of Memorial Day, Senator Timilty Sponsors Veteran Related Legislation

Boston, MA – The Senate passed two amendments co-sponsored by Senator Jim Timilty relative to veterans. The first expands full cost waivers to state colleges and universities to children of veterans that

June 2010 The Reporter were killed in action. The second toughens the penalties for vandalizing or desecrating veteran’s gravestones, memorials, or other markers.

“These amendments honor those who have fought and died for our country,” said Timilty. “We must be sure to remember not only the fallen heroes of the armed services, but also the loved ones that they have left behind.”

The tuition waiver would be available to a surviving child of a parent who died as a result of injuries sustained during active and full-time military service outside the United States.

The deceased veteran must have been a member of the armed forces of the United States or National Guard after 1989. If the child meets the admission criteria to the college or university, the amendment provides a full waiver of charges for tuition, fees and room and board. The waiver does not extend to community colleges or if the child already holds a higher education degree.

“I am very proud that the Senate was able to adopt this amendment,” stated Timilty.

“No child of a deceased service member should be denied a college education because of financial challenges.”

The second amendment, which was also approved unanimously, increases the fine from $1, 00 to $3,000, or six times the value of the damaged property, whichever is greater. In addition, the vandal would have to complete a minimum of 00 court-approved community service hours. This measure comes after vandals stole four bronze plaques honoring veterans in Attleboro, and caused significant damage to veteran’s memorials in Weymouth and Kingston.

“Anyone who desecrates a veteran’s memorial should face severe punishment,” said Timilty. “These acts are unconscionable and they dishonor the sacrifice that our brave servicemen and women have made in the name of our freedom. I was delighted to support this important amendment.”

Today at 3:00 p.m., the Senate will suspend debate on the budget for a Memorial Day remembrance ceremony to honor our service members who have put their lives on the line defending our Commonwealth and nation.

Thank You – HSBC Rehoboth

Mrs. Angell’s seventh grade World Geography classes would like to thank the members of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) for volunteering to bring the Junior Achievement program to Beckwith Middle School. Mr. John Regan, Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager, organized the program and taught the classes along with his colleagues, Mr. Antonio Marinaro, Mr. Edward Gately, Mr. Anthony Capuano, and Mr. Paul Angland.

The program “JA Global Marketplace” provided practical information about what makes international trade work and how it affects students’ daily lives. This was an interactive, hands-on program designed to help students understand complex business concepts and practices involving world trade, introducing key concepts of the global economy, cultures, human resources, international trade laws, and currency exchanges. “JA Global Marketplace” was developed to align with academic content standards for world geography and other social studies disciplines. Over the course of several weeks, these gentlemen brought the world of global trade and economics into our classroom and shared their experience as bankers and world travelers. Students greatly enjoyed the program and came away with a deeper understanding of world trade and how we are a part of the Global Marketplace.

Spring Math Meet

On April 30, the math team “Ciolfi’s Angles” traveled to Seekonk for the Spring Massasoit League Math Meet. Although Beckwith did not place in this meet, they were the team that had the most fun.

Other members of the Beckwith math team are Tasha Boger, Aleigha Correia, Alden Foelsche, Kira Hitz, Zoe Karavolis, Courtney Liston, Ally Luongo, Matt Moschella, and Elizabeth Oakley. A special thank you to Mrs. Ciolfi, their coach.

Nurse’s Notes

Now that the warm weather has arrived, here are just a few reminders. When our kids are playing outdoors on the weekend, please keep them hydrated and use sunscreen especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the sun’s rays are the strongest. Very often students return to school on Monday with sunburns and feeling the effects of dehydration from not having had adequate fluids. Also, students are more inclined to participate in sports-related activities throughout the weekend and are on the run playing with friends or having sleep-overs. Try to remind them that some “down time” is necessary so that they can return to school well-rested and ready to go. Everything in moderation!

STEM Night at Beckwith

Mark your calendar! STEM Night, an interactive, evening program of applied science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, will be held at Beckwith on June 3 starting at :30 p.m.

Professionals from our community will be participating and showing us how these disciplines are used routinely in their fields.

Hornbine School Open for the Season

The Hornbine School, Rehoboth’s one room school museum, will be open June th and 2 th from 2 – 4 p.m. This season, we expect to open on the following Sundays: July 11th and 2 th, August 8th and 22nd, and September 12th and 2 th from 2 – 4 p.m.

The School is located in the south east corner of Rehoboth on Hornbine Rd. across from Baker St and the Hornbine Church. We have displays, scrapbooks and other memorabilia which interest visitors as well as “olde time games” for the children to try out.

The Rehoboth Historic Commission is planning to make some needed repairs to the school which is 1 3 years old. In the past decade the Rehoboth Historic Commission has paid for and completed several major repairs to the school. They include: completely painting the building in and out, rebuilding about half of the footings for the building, strapping the chimney, installing security lights, replacing our sign and arranging for Dighton Rehoboth High School Students to replace the roof. Each year minor repairs are accomplished by Ron Wittemore. We are always looking for individuals and/or contractors who are willing to accomplish needed repairs. If you have an interest, please call Dave Downs at 08-222- 32 .

All Palmer River 3rd Grade students will have attended The Hornbine School by the end of June. We expect to share some pictures of these visits in the July issue of the Reporter. Meanwhile, if you are a parent of a Rehoboth third grader, visit the school during any of our open dates and have your child show you around. Or visit http://hornbineschool.tripod.com/

Palmer River Students Take to the Stage Palmer River Elementary School students performed “The Princess and the Pea” this week. It was the first time in more than 20 years that the school has put on a play, according to Principal Linda McSweeney.

The play, composed by Mark Burrows, is about a school searching for a new principal.

It was directed by music teacher Kristie Arruda, who was recently named Teacher of the Year by the Rehoboth Lions Club.

The play was made possible by an anonymous donation of $2,000. Fourth graders entered an essay contest to determine how the money would be spent and the winning essay suggested that the school put on a play. McSweeney said it was chosen because it could involve so many children.

More than 100 students performed in the play. They practiced before school for a month. Arruda said they all did a great job and she was very proud of them.

“Time flies when you are having fun” is very meaningful as we now move forward into June. This very productive year at Palmer River has flown by.

Throughout the year, our teachers have worked to develop your child’s strengths as a writer. We encourage you to start a new tradition of recording your summer fun through journaling. Children of all ages can benefit from both the practice writing and the opportunity to express their ideas. Build writing into your summer routine and even model by keeping a journal of your own. Use additional resources like photos, brochures, and ticket stubs to spark ideas for writing. Have older students give their own views on current events in the news.

Research has shown that 18% of student learning is lost between the end of the school year and the first day back at school in the fall. Let’s beat those statistics and help our children to come back with stronger skills!

Outstanding Community Service~ Kevin Hebert

Kevin Hebert has gone above and beyond to share his photography and technical expertise with Palmer River School.

The teachers feel that Mr. Hebert, is such a valuable resource to our school. He has served our children and staff tirelessly and selflessly and we very much appreciate

June 2010 The Reporter all that he has added to Palmer River. Mr. Hebert has volunteered every Friday in the Palmer River Library updating and repairing the AV equipment for the teachers. With some of the older equipment, Mr. Hebert has a magic touch! Using his photographic talent at Palmer River, Mr. Hebert has also volunteered to take photos of the students at special events during the school year. His photos are amazing! He has the natural ability to capture the moment or the expression in our children’s faces.

When we saw the amazing photos he took, we realized we needed to share his talents with others so as a result, we have been using Mr. Hebert’s photos in our school’s Year-In-Review DVD and student yearbook for years. Mr. Hebert’s dedication and countless hours of volunteer service to our students, teachers and school community have been outstanding. He has quietly shared his talents and generosity of time to make Palmer River an even more exciting place to learn.

Teacher of the Year…

Miss Kristie Arruda

Anyone who has seen Miss Arruda with her students knows that she has an amazing talent for making music class a place of joyfilled learning. Miss Arruda offers her high energy and enthusiasm complimented by her expertise and confidence. Because of Miss Arruda’s teaching, our Palmer River students love music! One of her most unique gifts is the way in which she inspires her students to greatness, making each one of them feel proud and special.

If you came to a school performance, you’d likely only see Miss Arruda’s back.

However, standing in the wings, you would be in awe at having the privilege of watching pure talent and inspiration at work. The children are mesmerized by this educator and hang on her every movement and gesture.

As the song closes, Miss Arruda explodes with zeal causing the students to smile and stand a little bit taller.

Can you believe that our Palmer River students come in early, before school, and, stay in for recess, just to have the opportunity to work with Miss Arruda? They feel lucky to be selected to work on a project, play, or bell performance. Our children practice with dedication and diligence to earn the next “string” on their recorder in Recorder Karate. Miss Arruda inspires our students with her music program at Palmer River. Herself a model of learning, she’s trained at the Berkley School of Music, she’s an accomplished flute player, and is working on her master’s degree at Rhode Island College. Miss Arruda even enjoys playing with a rock band! Thank you Miss Arruda, for being an inspiration to us all.

Dr. Dyer: Recipient of Outstanding Achievement Award

In past years, Dr. Dyer has generously donated hundreds of hours of his time to the education of our Rehoboth youth. He has left them with a love of learning and lasting memories. Dr. Dyer offers what no social studies text could ever give… himself!

Each year, Dr. Dyer goes from classroom to classroom carrying a bountiful cartload of artifacts and treasures to share with the students. Many a third grader has had the opportunity to pound corn into flour or pound the drum of the Wampanoag. Our first graders learn the legacy of the Eskimo people and fourth graders the thrills of the Arctic region. The children are enthralled with his knowledge and listen eagerly with hopes that he my choose them to demonstrate the next activity.

Try as they might, there are few teachers that will ever travel as far or share the wealth of experiences that Dr. Dyer has come to know and share. Each year, Dr. Dyer adds a new destination to his travels consequently enhancing his repertoire of presentations.

Dr Dyer affords children (and their teachers) the opportunity to learn about other cultures in our world, appreciate diversity, and learn how far their curiosity can take them.

Thank You… Thank You!

Teaching and learning

Fulbright Scholar Sees Teaching as an Opportunity to Learn

By helping others to learn, Katrina Hegeman gains new insights herself.

She stands to learn a great deal next year when she travels to the Slovak Republic as a Fulbright Scholar, teaching English to high school students.

“I’m looking forward to learning firsthand about another country’s education system,” says Hegeman. “I feel so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love and at the same time help other people to learn English. I can’t wait to meet my students!”

The senior from Dighton, Mass., will be teaching in Liptovský Mikuláš, a small city of about 32,000 people north of the nation’s capital, Bratislava. The country emerged from communist rule in 1989 as part of Czechoslovakia and it became an independent nation in 1993.

“I was attracted to the Slovak Republic because of its interesting history and its central location in Europe,” she says. “All of my friends who have visited the Slovak Republic have enjoyed the culture.”

Hegeman discovered an interest in teaching while taking education courses at Wheaton. “The fieldwork I did for those courses - which included tutoring a second-grader in language arts and observing high school English classes - made me want to pursue teaching as a career.”

A major in English with a concentration in dramatic literature and creative writing and a minor in secondary education, Hegeman has excelled in her studies at Wheaton. She is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, a Presidential Scholar (maintaining a grade point average of 3.8 or greater) and a member of the Dean’s List Top Ten students for her entire college career. She was admitted to Wheaton as a Balfour Scholar, and she holds Wheaton’s Charles A. Dana and Clemence Family scholarships.

Her extra-curricular activities mirror her academic interests.

She mentors Brockton High School students through the college’s H.E.R.O. (Higher Education Readiness Opportunities) program and volunteers with the Whe/Arc Friendship Club, providing social

opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also has authored scripts for, as well as acted and directed in, the college’s Ten Minute Plays Festival since her first year at the college.

Hegeman has served as a peer tutor at Wheaton, and she has observed classes in the Dighton-Rehoboth and Norton high schools. This semester, she is leading two classes at nearby Norton High School, a freshman composition class and an elective course on dramatic literature and the theatre.

“Teaching is always slightly unpredictable and I like having to think on my feet,” Hegeman says. “It’s been a great experience getting to know my students and learning along with them. They bring fresh perspectives to whatever we’re studying, and they teach me new things all the time.”

Nancy Messinger Receives Community Conservation Award seekonk environmentalist recognized for land preservation efforts

[Seekonk]— Willet Mason, president of the Seekonk Land Conservation Trust, presented Nancy Messinger with the Fifth Annual Mary Wilson Community Conservation Award. The award was conferred this spring at the Land Trust’s annual meeting. In 200 , the Land Trust established the award, named for the founder of the organization, and it is presented annually to an individual who has contributed significantly to the advancement of conservation in the town of Seekonk.

“Nancy Messinger has been associated with the Land Trust almost since it was established in 19 ,” said President Mason.

“She was a protégé of our founder, Mary Wilson, who introduced Nancy to the field of conservation and the necessity to protect the vanishing open space in Seekonk that is a habitat for many species. She served on the board for almost 2 years, ten of them as president.”

During her tenure as president, the Land Trust acquired over 200 acres of land, including the Martin Wildlife Refuge and established a mini-grant program to promote environmental education.

In 1999 Nancy embarked on a project of preserving 12 contiguous acres along the Runnins River here in Seekonk. Although she stepped down from the board in 2003, she continued to oversee this endeavor until her goal was realized early this year, when the last gift of land was finalized.

For more information about how you can join the Land Trust or volunteer for other Land Trust activities, please call Willet Mason at 08-33 -0 0 .

Sears was one of more than 40 players who participated in the Local contest of the national competition sponsored by Major League Baseball and Aquafina. The top finishers in each phase of the competition as well as the overall victors in the 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 age divisions advanced to the Section level, which will be staged May 22 in Berkley.

Participants were required to pitch accurately from 45 feet, hit for distance and accuracy off a batting tee, and run a distance of 140 feet. Local-level competitions are staged throughout the United States.

Shayne Cordeiro Completes GED Diploma Congratulations to Mr. Shayne Cordeiro of Rehoboth. Mr. Cordeiro graduated from the Mass School of Information Technology with his GED Diploma and his Microsoft Word and Excel Certifications Shayne Cordeiro on March 24, 2010.

Shayne was previously enrolled at Somerset High School where was enrolled but circumstances prevented him from completing his freshman year. Shayne decided to pursue his GED and was referred to Mass Info Tech by the Taunton Career Center.

Shayne says he found Mass Info Tech “inviting” adding “it didn’t feel weird coming here.” Of his experience in class he says the work “kept you interested” and the teachers were “really willing to help with any questions or problems.”

Shayne plans to attend Bristol Community College to gain enough credits to transfer to Connecticut’s Yukon State College where he will participate in their agricultural program. His family has been farming in Southeastern Massachusetts for four generations, and he hopes to continue the tradition.

HOLDEN’S LANDSCAPING Save The Bay

Did you know that the Taunton River is Narragansett Bay’s second largest tributary? Several agencies – including Save the Bay – worked together and in 2009 the Taunton River became protected under the National Park Service’s “Wild & Scenic” Program.

That’s just one reason why on Saturday, July 1 th, I will be participating in the 34th Annual Save The Bay Swim from Newport to Jamestown. I started in 1999 when my son, David, was just one and in a stroller, so I consider myself fortunate to be able to participate in this signature fundraising event for a 12th year.

I know that you or someone you know has enjoyed the beautiful waters of the Bay and can appreciate the importance of protecting this valuable natural resource. Become a member of Save The Bay – individual memberships start at $3 - and enjoy discounts on some great activities like a lighthouse tour, a seal cruise, summer camp or entry at the exploration center at Easton’s beach in Newport.

One time gifts and memberships really add up – and you can do either though my online personal swimmer page at www.savebay. org/CSimpson.

Prefer to pay by check? No problem! Just make it payable to “Save the Bay” and mail to me at 9 New St, Rehoboth, MA 02 9.

I will forward it to Save the Bay along with my sponsor sheet.

Thank you!

We reaffirm our support for farm commodity programs that serve the best interests of producers and consumers. The purpose of the Federal Farm Program is to ensure Americans an adequate supply of safe and wholesome food, provide some income protection to the food producers and protect our environment by providing incentives for soil and water conservation. The National Grange supports programs that will stimulate interest and appreciation for an expanding agricultural industry that provides an abundant supply of reasonably priced food and fiber to meet our domestic needs and still export the products of one out of every three acres into the world markets. The National Grange continues to strongly support family farms as an integral and important contributor to a stable agricultural production and rural communities. We call upon the President and Congress to support programs and policies that will help sustain and enhance family farms - by increasing the net farm income, providing economic and tax incentives, and credit and/or tax credits for soil and water conservation - without escalating the advantages to non-farm investors.”

As you all probably know the original Grange was based on Agriculture and this we continue to support.

Come by any 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 7:30 P.M. There is always good food and fun.

Yankee Spirits Gets in the Spirit of Giving this Memorial Day with a Grant to the Rehoboth Minute Company

The Rehoboth Minutemen may have a little quicker step in this year’s Memorial Day Parade.

Yankee Spirits has donated $1,000 to the all-volunteer Revolutionary War re-enacting group to help pay for supplies and costumes and to help defray costs for educational performances.

With more than 40 individuals dedicated to recreating life in Colonial America during the late 18th century, the Rehoboth Minutemen are well known in the local Attleboro area and participates in the city’s Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades.

They also march in the Cumberland, RI, Fourth of July Parade, the Gaspee Days Parade in Warwick RI, and the Flag Day Parade in Brookline. The Rehoboth Minute Company works to accurately portray the lifestyles, clothing, equipment, drills, battle scenarios and encampments of the men, women, and children of the original 1 4 Company while providing an educational resource and further the understanding of the early portion of the American War of Independence.

Schools that have benefitted from the program include Seekonk’s Martin School, Westwood, North Attleboro, Dighton, and Rehoboth.

“The Rehoboth Minute Company does an excellent job of keeping the Yankee spirit alive,” said Michael Cimini, president of Yankee Spirits. “Yankee Spirits is glad it can do its part in preserving and promoting our local history.”

Yankee Spirits Inc., which has locations in Sturbridge, South Attleboro, and Swansea, will donate a total of $1 ,000 as part of its 2010 employee-directed charitable giving campaign. This year, the program aims to make the most positive impact possible by focusing on historical societies and preservation groups working to save at-risk and vulnerable pieces of New England history.

Established in 19 , Yankee Spirits Inc. is one of New England’s largest liquor retailers and offers an unsurpassed selection of discount liquors, fine wines, beer, and gourmet foods. Yankee Spirits is located at 3 Main Street, Sturbridge; 28 Washington Street (Route 1), Attleboro; and 20 Swansea Mall Drive, Swansea. For more information about Yankee Spirits’ charitable giving program, please visit www.yankeespirits.com.

On Exhibit: History of Rehoboth’s Post Office

A new exhibit in the Tilton Auditorium of the Carpenter Museum traces the history of Rehoboth’s main post office from its founding in 1828 to the present. The main post office has had ten postmasters in its 182 years of existence, beginning with Jonathan

June 2010 The Reporter Wheaton. It has seen many location changes; once this was due to a major fire that destroyed two buildings in the village. Photographs displayed show the post office in private homes, general stores, a converted mill office, and finally in its own dedicated space. The exhibit also features documents related to the operation of a post office in South Rehoboth in the late 1800s by postmaster Edward H. Horton. Quarterly reports, a signed oath by a mail carrier, and a mail schedule give viewers a peek into the workings of a post office at the turn of the twentieth century. The exhibit will be up through August. Note that our “Letters Home” Exhibit featuring letters from Rehoboth veterans throughout history will also remain on view through the summer. Stop by and see it!

Preserving Your Family Treasures

By Curator Laura Napolitano On April 22 at the Carpenter Museum, Donia Conn, a conservator at the Northeast Document Conservation Center in Andover, Massachusetts, gave a fascinating talk on the correct way to preserve family treasures, such as newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, framed documents and artwork, and photographs. She also gave audience members individualized advice on how to store and display items they had brought from home.

Saving Fragile Paper Documents

Conn explained that paper items (such a newspaper clippings) should be stored in acid-free, lignin-free, buffered folders.

Because newspaper clippings yellow and break down over time, she suggested color photocopying them, or scanning and printing them on archival paper (using archival ink if you are using an ink jet printer; laser printer ink, on the other hand, is very stable).

Complete issues of newspapers should be stored flat in newspaper boxes. Scrapbook pages can also be scanned or photocopied.

Store the actual scrapbooks in clamshell boxes (ordered through Custom Manufacturing Inc.). Paper can also be stored in plastic L sleeves made of polyester, polyethylene, or polypropylene (do not use PVC). Plastic sleeves are especially good to use if your paper document is fragile or torn. The static created between the two layers keeps the item together, and it allows you to see both sides without actually handling the paper.

What to Do with Those Special Photos?

Conn told the audience that photographs should be stored in plastic sleeves as well. This allows for safe handling and prevents fingerprint marks. You can use individual sleeves, or purchase sleeves with holes that can be placed in archival 3-ring binders or binder boxes. Label photographs on the back using a soft #6 pencil. To share old photographs, make color photocopies. If you choose to scan photographs, back up files to an archival gold CD and/or place them on several different computer hard drives. To remove photographs from albums with adhesive-covered pages, slide dental floss under them. Remount them into an archival album using polyester photo corners.

Showing Off Documents & Art

When displaying documents and artwork, Conn suggested using museum-quality cotton rag mat board. Attach items to the board using T-hinges made from Japanese tissue and flour paste.

Use a window mat or spacers to keep items from touching the glass of the frame.

Where to Find the Best Materials?

To purchase storage and display materials, Conn recommended visiting the websites of vendors such as Gaylord, University Products, Hollinger Metal Edge, and Light Impressions. The Northeast Document Conservation Center’s website has a great deal of useful information, including printable preservation leaflets.

News And Notes From

Blanding Library

by Leslie Patterson

May was an incredibly busy month at the Blanding Library. We want to thank everyone who supported the library this spring, what with the town budget crisis and funding for the library being uncertain. Thanks especially to everyone who attended town meeting to make their support known.

We also give a huge “Thank You” to everyone who helped with another great book sale this past month. We especially thank organizers Sharon Beskid and Avis Prior for all their many hours of hard work and we appreciate the work of all who volunteered their time for the library’s main yearly fundraiser. We hope everyone who came to the sale had a good time and found lots of treasures.

Here are some interesting facts about the Blanding that you may not know, from Director Laura Bennett’s 2009 annual report: The Blanding Public Library is open six days a week, for 4 hours per week, including four evenings and Saturdays. In 2009, total circulation increased by 4%, the number of library patrons increased by % and circulation of books increased by 8%. Reading is alive and well in Rehoboth. Take a look at the Blanding Library’s new website, blandinglibrary.net. Thanks to Cathy Charbonneau of the Blanding and Barbara Spencer of the Carpenter Museum for keeping our website up to date.

New technologies in the library include these features: Tumblebooks (read-aloud stories and games for children), Overdrive (audio books, music and e-books to download), databases for homework and research for all levels of students; Playaways (audio books

contained in a pocket-size device for personal listening), high speed Internet access on four public computers, and WiFi available courtesy of Comcast.

During the past year the Blanding has offered many programs, including ongoing series of story times for preschool children, computer instruction, informational sessions on town government, the annual used book sale recently held May 21-23, a children’s book sale in December, and various programs for school-aged children, including a summer reading program and the popular “Puppy Pals” reading program.

Our town-wide reading program “Rehoboth on the Same Page” this year focused on the novel “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer, and it included six very enjoyable separate programs of both word and music, celebrating this popular book. These events were also held in May. The Rehoboth Antiquarian Society, which is the parent organization for the Blanding, also makes Goff Hall available for various community groups, making the library a true community center.

Groups meeting at Goff Hall include all levels of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, a pony club, a book discussion group, Poetry in the Village, and a writer’s workshop, groups for knitting and quilting, and “Meet the Candidates” sessions for both major political parties.

Music is a vital part of life at Goff hall, as it hosts not only Arts in the Village, but the Providence Adult String Ensemble, New England

Troop 13 Rehoboth

This past month troop 13 was busy as they always are with a plethora of events.

Firstly they assisted in the serving of delectable spaghetti and meatballs at the Rehoboth Congregational Church’s annual dinner with kudos from members of the congregation.

The boys also enjoyed a very agreeable weekend canoeing at camp Aquapaug.

Caption: Earning Kayaking Festivities included epic sea BSA Award battles and navigating the thick fog. Amazing vittles that graced the palates of these voracious scouts included Reuben sandwiches, eggs in a bag, and homemade meatball subs. While some boys worked on renewing their knowledge of canoeing merit badge, others also began laboring to attain their barber’s merit badge.

Just this past weekend, the troop had one of its Leadership Corps camping trips out at Camp Greenough in Yarmouthport.

Saturday we kayaked from Chatham to Monomoy Island, followed up with some body-surfing and a great dinner that included burgers and tuna steak grilled to perfection. Sunday was devoted to practicing kayaking skills and earning the Kayaking BSA award.

In June, we will be hiking Mt. Jefferson in New Hampshire.

In July we’ll be taking our annual week of summer fun at Camp Cachalot in Carver.

If this sounds like the kind of fun you’d be interested in, Troop 13 is always looking for boys between the ages 11 and 18 who want to enjoy the great outdoors. If interested, send email via our website www.Troop13Rehoboth.org.

Troop 507 Explores Textiles

Cadette Girl Scout Troop 507 has been exploring textiles this spring. During a field trip to the American Textile Museum in Lowell, we learned about spinning, dyeing, and weaving many different kinds of fibers by hand or machine. Back in Rehoboth, we’ve made wool yarn on a spinning wheel and learned how different weaving patterns change the appearance of the resulting fabric.

For instance, blue jeans are made out of denim, which has a twill weave. There are many kinds of looms; we even made our own out of old picture frames. This picture shows us weaving in front of the fire during a recent camping trip. We also wove on a set of chopsticks and made fancy braided strips with loops of cord. This month we plan to color fabric with home-made dyes. We’ll also be demonstrating spinning and weaving at the Carpenter Museum Colonial Day on June 6. Come see us there!

This has been a special year for Scouts as it is the 100th year anniversary of Scouting in the United States of America. The end of our Scouting year has been a busy one. The boys worked very hard this year to achieve their goals. The Jr. Webelos worked on belt loops, badges, pins and point emblems advancing to Sr. Webelos and prepared themselves for the Boy Scouts next year. The Bears and Wolfs worked on belt-loops and their required badges to advance in rank, having fun and learning new things all the while. The Tigers, mighty mighty Tigers, learned the first steps it takes to become Cub Scout by first receiving their Bobcat badge and earning beads to get the Tiger badge. As a pack, we worked to better our community, our homes and our selves staying true to the core values of scouting.

Jamison Braz An Inspiration To All

The Schwartz Center for Children in Dartmouth provides education, therapy and rehabilitation for children with medical and developmental special needs. We have been so touched by the generosity of a young man who is helping the Center and we would love the people of Rehoboth to know about it.

Jamison Braz, the twin brother of one of our Day School students, has been coming to the Center with his Eagle Scout troop (Troop 13 from Rehoboth) to work on refurbishing our courtyard.

He has chosen the Schwartz Center to be the beneficiary of his Eagle Scout Leadership service project. The project had the troop sanding and staining our mahogany bridge, trellis and benches; weeding gardens, leveling patio bricks, planting flowers, and building birdhouses. The troop has also installed a 3. ft wooden carving of a bear, donated by Josh Sargent, the North Country Whittler.

Their work is phenomenal – the courtyard looks beautiful.

The entire project has been Jamison’s idea from the start; he was inspired to help his sister and her classmates at the Center.

The most remarkable aspect is that Jamison has been able to far surpass his fundraising goal for the refurbishment project, as he has acquired nearly all of the materials needed to complete the project as in-kind donations from local businesses and retailers. Jamison has also received over $ 000 in monetary donations from area companies; since the courtyard project requires very little additional funding, this excess money will go directly towards the construction of a fully accessible and inclusive Boundless Playground for the children at the Schwartz Center.

We are so inspired and touched by Jamison. He is 14 years old and has already achieved rank of Eagle Scout, which is quite an accomplishment for his age. His father, Kevin Braz is an assistant troop leader.

We really hope that we can let the Rehoboth community know what great kids you have in the area and what they are doing in service to others.

Lauren Moreau Philanthropy and Marketing Associate Schwartz Center for Children,

Rehoboth & Seekonk Girls Scouts had their annual Outdoor Day & Overnight Camp Out at Camp Promising Acres the first weekend in May. Girls from Daisy Scouts through Senior Ambassadors enjoyed a wonderful outdoor weekend!

Troops donated nearly 200 items to Helping Hands Food Pantry as their community service project. The Girl Scouts hiked, played outdoor relay games, sang camp songs, explored Fairy Houses, enjoyed a campfire, and many other outdoor activities!

The girls learned the basics of safe camping and being outdoors.

Rehoboth & Seekonk Girl Scout Talent Show

The Rehoboth & Seekonk Girl Scout Talent Show was a wonderful success. There was over an hour of entertainment. The girls sang, danced, played the piano, performed skits, & there was even a magic show! Some leaders even sang for the audience.

As a service project the Girl Scouts collected over 100 household paper products donated to Rehoboth’s Helping Hands Pantry.

We hope this annual spring event will continue to grow with more acts next year!

Dining Guide Recipes from the Cabin

Welcome to the cabin. Strawberry fields forever. Sure, this time of year even strawberries at the food store are relatively sweet & tasty, but if you can, go to a local pick-yourown or farm stand or farmer’s market this year. Picking strawberries yourself is the best.

You choose each exact and perfect berry, still warm from the sun. You smell the luscious aroma of the ripe fruit. And, in my case, you involuntarily eat about a pint of berries while you pick, as a bonus.

When picking berries look for the shiny ripe fruit. Strawberries do not ripen further after picking, so don’t choose under-ripe fruit, it will stay under-ripe. Strawberries should be deep red throughout, and the shinier the skin the fresher the fruit.

The simplest and most classic preparation of fresh strawberries Serving Breakfast & Lunch is the strawberry shortcake. This is macerated strawberries over a buttermilk biscuit topped with whipped cream.

A Large variety of omelets!

When I was a child, my grandparent’s neighbor was a farmer Fish-n-chips Every Friday Come try our homemade who grew strawberries. If my brother and I picked for his stand he chourico hash! would give us each a quart and a ride in the bucket of his tractor Catering Available (no seat belts!). Right away, my grandmother would clean and slice the berries.

• Daily Specials • •Fresh Fruit Waffles• To macerate strawberries, begin with a proper cleaning. Straw•Homemade Pies• Take out Available berries should be placed in a bowl filled with water, submerged and •Fish-n-chips• gently agitated, then removed to a colander to dry.

Place berries in a nonreactive (ceramic,pyrex or stainless steel) mixing bowl. For each pint of strawberries, sprinkle with about ¼ cup granulated sugar, and toss gently to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit 1 hour at room temperature or longer in refrigerator, at least 2-3 hours.

Famous for our Wings, The longer they sit the more the juice will be drawn out and the softer the fruit will get.

June 2010 The Reporter As the weather finally gets warmer I like to offer more cold salads as side dishes. By the end of June or certainly into early July, I should be able to find some fresh corn to prepare one of my favorites, the Corn and Black Bean Salad. Try this recipe. The mix of corn, black beans, jalapeno, cilantro, in a sweet and tangy dressing is earthy and refreshing. Take this salad to your next backyard barbeque and enjoy the rave reviews. It goes wonderfully with anything grilled, and vegetarians love it.

My advice: Get out in the good weather! Pick strawberries, grill, bring a salad to a barbeque. Let’s all eat each other’s cooking and say it was good.

IN MEMORIAM Rehoboth

Richard E. French

Richard E. French, 8, of Bay State Road, died at home Friday, May , 2010.

He was the husband of Muriel F. (Munroe) French. Born on March 2, 1932, in North Dighton, he was a son of the late Edward C. and Grace E. (Barney) French. He attended Dighton schools, where he enjoyed playing sports and was a member of the high school football team.

He was proud to be an Army veteran of the Korean War, serving with the 14 th Field Artillery as a medic.

Mr. French worked as a salesperson for Nerney Motors of Attleboro for 22 years and for Roberts’ Ford for four years. He later worked at V-Tron Electronics Corp. of Attleboro for 13 years as sales and marketing manager. He was a member of the Rehoboth Congregational Church for 49 years, serving as chairperson of the Board of Trustees, head usher and on both the music and mission committees. He was an outgoing person who loved to meet new people and chat with family and friends.

He enjoyed camping and skiing, and he spent many hours planning for each family adventure. After his retirement, he and his wife took a camping trip around the country, stopping at the Grand Canyon and the Gila National Forest, where they stayed for a week to explore the caves of the cliff dwellers. After retiring, he spent his winters at Parsly’s Park in Redington Shores, Fla., for 10 years, where he was involved in many activities, including shuffleboard and golf.

He also loved to walk on the beach there.

He enjoyed woodworking, making many birdhouses, outdoor chairs and tables and other items. A true handyman, he went out of his way to help family members and friends with any project. He always said that his hand-made creations came with a lifetime guarantee – “my lifetime.”

In 200 , he was awarded Senior Citizen of the Year by the Rehoboth Lion’s Club. He was recognized for his work at the Rehoboth Senior Center, which included working in the herb garden, setting up tables for functions and constructing a speaker’s podium.

In addition to his wife of 8 years, he leaves his children, Karen L. Goulart of Little Compton, R.I., Kevin R. French of No. Dighton, and Kerri Jean Williams of Newtown, Conn.; his brother, David A. French of Westboro; his sister, Barbara A. Deane, of Eastham; and his five grandchildren, Matthew, Christopher, Nicholas, Nathan and Rachel.

Memorial donations may be made to the Rehoboth Congregational Church, 139 Bay State Rd. PO Box 32 , Rehoboth, MA 02 9.

Lee (Swanson) Green

People who smile reflect positive emotion. Positive emotion has been linked to both physical and mental well-being. People who have big smiles live longer. Lee (Swanson) Green smiled a great deal during her 94 winters in New England.

Born in Windsor, Vt. before the Hawaiian ukulele, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lena Horne, and Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs at Coney Island, she graduated from Natick High School with the nick-name “Willow.” She lived in Missouri and Rhode Island before moving to Rehoboth at a time when telephones were cranked to get the operator.

She was a daughter of the late Albert David and Ellen O. (Oberg) Swanson. She was a second-generation Swedish-American who loved her coffee. In fact, she embraced innovations and immediately embraced the microwave oven’s power to heat up her coffee. Among her favorite pastimes were tennis, table tennis, sailing, canoeing, golf, hiking, diving, ice skating and swimming.

She enjoyed playing the piano, ballroom dancing, reading mystery and humor authors, and singing with her family and friends in western Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, New Jersey, California, and Europe.

Not only was she “green” by name, she was “green” by her actions and decisions.

A woman ahead of her time, she designed her 194 house with built-in recycle bin, zoned radiant heat in floor and an oven with pilot light to dry “wet” garbage so it wouldn’t smell. She forbade littering with the exception of apple cores, sewed, and installed

awnings and grew appropriate trees in correct locations around her house to control summer heat and winter wind.

A proud American, she flew the flag with the correct etiquette out of respect for her country and past and current military representatives. She contributed to her community as well as larger endeavors and would donate her time when it was in more supply than cash: school dentist assistant, March of Dimes, SPCA, Disabled Veterans, Rehoboth’s municipal services, Parkinson’s and cancer research, acted in PTA plays, and Women’s Health Initiative medical clinical trial of estrogen therapy.

“The body of a single organ donor can benefit 200 different people around the globe.” When Lee Green arranged for her entire body donation to University of Massachusetts School of Medicine’s Anatomical Gift Program, she was asked why and answered: “Consistently throughout my life I’ve tried in small ways to contribute to my community as well as larger endeavors. After I can no longer use my body, it is my humble wish to submit it for use for the benefit and betterment of other people’s lives.”

In memory of Mrs. Green you are encouraged to make an appointment with an elder lawyer.

Margaret L. “Peg” Parker

Margaret L. “Peg” Parker, , of Rehoboth, died Friday at Sturdy Memorial Hospital. She was the loving wife of John C. Parker Sr. They were married on Sept.

29, 19 .

Born in Norton, she was a daughter of the late Herbert M. Johnson Sr. and Lois A. (Whipple) Johnson. She was a lifelong resident of Rehoboth.

Mrs. Parker was an active member of her community, serving the Rehoboth Police Department, Rehoboth Ambulance, and various town boards and committees. Peg enjoyed her large extended family and many close friends.

In addition to her husband of 3 years, she is survived by two sons, John C. Parker Jr. and his wife Susan and Martin Parker Sr. and his wife Correen; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. She was the sister of the late Herbert “Bert” Johnson Jr. Her funeral service was Wednesday, May th. Burial followed in Oak Knoll Cemetery, Rehoboth.
