Turnpike Unveils New Online Traffic Tools
In Advance of Memorial Day

In advance of the heavily traveled Memorial Day weekend the
Massachusetts Turnpike Authority today unveiled new online customer service features to make it easier for drivers to track traffic conditions on I-90 (MassPike).

This year motorists will be able to track traffic hotspots at I-84, I-495, Weston and Allston tolls via an improved interactive Google Maps Traffic Cameras web page and a
real-time traffic conditions web page at www.masspike.com

Historically the heaviest Memorial Day weekend traffic on I-90(MassPike) occurs Thursday, Friday and Monday afternoons and early evenings. Motorists are urged to plan their travel accordingly to avoid peak traffic volumes between 1 pm and 7 pm tomorrow, Friday and on the holiday.

"Though the Turnpike faces serious fiscal constraints the priority will continue to be customer service and public safety," said Secretary of Transportation and Turnpike Board Chairman James Aloisi. "Together with the 511 system, the Turnpike's web camera improvements are a step toward a future that is more responsive to the residents of Massachusetts."

In addition to listening to radio traffic reports and calling the 511 state traffic information line, drivers are encouraged to visit www.masspike.com before starting out. The interactive Google Maps Traffic Cameras page monitors real-time, live traffic conditions in Boston and now has been improved to include the addition of five cameras from Allston to I-84, including the Exit 9 hotspot in Sturbridge.

In addition, the Roads Conditions page will report up-to-date traffic conditions in these new locations. Because existing equipment and infrastructure was used and the website modifications were made by Turnpike staff, the online features unveiled today were developed at no
additional cost to the Turnpike.

"I want to thank Turnpike staff for thinking creatively and working quickly to make this critical customer-focused improvement to our website," said Turnpike Acting Executive Director Jeffrey Mullan. "I encourage drivers to take advantage of these new tools to plan ahead for
the Memorial Day weekend."

Aloisi and Mullan warn that AAA predicts more Memorial Day weekend travelers on the road in New England, up 8.5 percent from last year. Traffic at the I-84 interchange at Exit 9 in Sturbridge has averaged 35,000 vehicles on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Traffic will also
be heavy at Exit 11A [I-495], which handles cars headed south to Cape Cod and north to New Hampshire and Maine, where an estimated 43,000 vehicles will use this interchange. A Red Sox home stand will draw extra
traffic on the Turnpike's Boston Extension.

The Turnpike toll plazas will be staffed to minimize traffic disruptions and inconvenience. Toll managers will be on hand to monitor traffic conditions and to call in extra help if necessary. Despite full staffing levels, traffic conditions at the toll plazas can be impacted
by volume, weather conditions, accidents and traffic issues on adjoining roadways.

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority will halt construction activity on the Turnpike and in the tunnels and Zakim Bridge in Boston from noon on Friday, May 22, 2009 to 11:59 Monday night, May 25, 2009, to ease the flow of holiday traffic.

Compliments of McDonalds and Gulf, free coffee will be served at the 11 service plazas along the Turnpike on Monday night into Tuesday morning, from 10 pm to 5 am.

To save time, money and gas, motorists are encouraged to join FAST LANE. Since the free transponder program began in mid-February more than 85,000 transponders have been distributed.

Free transponders are available at the Turnpike Charlton East and West service plazas, near the interchange of I-90 and I-84 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am to 2pm. These transponders can be ready to use before noon the next day (or three days later if the motorist is out of state).

Free transponders are also available instantly at FAST LANE Service Centers in Auburn, Natick, and East Boston. Weekend commuters can conveniently

No It is not Gypsy Moth

May 19, 2009 - Many people think that this nest is Gypsy Moth which will be coming out soon. But it is not. The correct name is Tent Caterpillar which can also be confused with the Fall Webworm.

We are pleased to welcome back Five O'Clock Shadow to the Steeple Coffeehouse in Southboro, MA on June 13th. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased online at www.steeplecoffeehouse.org.

In advance: $14 General/$11 Students & Seniors
At the door: $17 General/$14 Students & Seniors

Five O'Clock Shadow, the all-vocal rock band from Boston, is living proof that a band without instruments can still rock! Using the same tech wizardry that guitarists have been using since the dawn of rock, Dan, Oren, Paul, and Caleb morph their voices into shredding guitar riffs and soaring solos right before your very ears. Meanwhile, their one-man vocal rhythm section, Stack, lays down his "beatbass": mouth beats and vocal bass thundering forth from his face, both at the same time! Yet when you take away all the speakers, amps, and microphones, these guys are still singers right down to the soul!

Also known as "FOCS", Five O'Clock Shadow has vocally rocked audiences of all ages throughout the US and Japan, and in every kind of venue. Through their educational program FOCS has presented workshops and concerts to thousands of music students from coast to coast. FOCS also has a long list of distinguished corporate clients including Panasonic, LG Electronics, Clear Channel Entertainment, EMC Corporation, and Mohegan Sun. They've performed for the Boston Celtics, the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, and the NFL Football Hall of Fame. Numerous TV appearances include VH-1's "//break.through/", FOX News, WB's Morning Show, A&E, ESPN, and many more. And MTV Online even called Five O'Clock Shadow "the number one vocal pop band of the new millenium!"

Thanks for your assistance in promoting this event.

Letter to the editor:

MEMORIAL DAY 2009

Once more, as we approach this Memorial Day, I share my obligation and duty to remind everyone again of the meaning of this coming weekend.

Unfortunately – Many people still see this weekend as just another reason to have a “gigantic sale” to sell something or use it as a signal for “the official start” to summer. Cook outs, opening the summer place or having “everyone over” takes center stage. Forgotten is the real meaning behind this holiday.

The date we observe Memorial Day has change over the years because in my humble opinion, business and the minority of the private sector - employees and employers alike - wanted to ensure a minimum “financial impact” or inconvenience to their company profits and/or lifestyle. So the date gets moved from May 31^st to a more convenient day. This year – It’ll be Monday – May 25^th. Shameful.

This year – I’ll travel to Washington, DC. with friends. On the way, we’ll visit the grave of a shipmate who I served with aboard ship in the waters of Vietnam in 1972. We’ll visit The Wall and find once again, the names of people we have connections with. We’ll Remember.

We’ll visit the World War II Memorial – Thanking and shaking hands with other Veterans – especially expressing our thanks to those from the Greatest Generation. We’ll visit the Korean Memorial and thanking those Veterans.

We’ll think of those who have passed and privately thank them as well. But most of all - We’ll Remember.

As you enjoy cold beverages, set up the grill and flip another burger – keep in mind, our men and women who are in uniform today. Those who stand in harms way. Those who fight the battle each and every day. Those who stand on guard for our nation. Will You Remember?

It doesn’t matter what your point of view is regarding Iraq or Afghanistan or any other area that our men and women serve. What matters is that you remember those who have fallen and those who are serving today.

To those veterans who always stand on the sidelines – this year - step off the curb and join the others. Or at the very least, salute the colors as they pass by and recognize those who march.

Make it a point to express your thanks to those who have served - But most of all – REMEMBER….

Understand that the freedoms you enjoy were earned and are being earned everyday by the sacrifices of others. Enjoy that long weekend – but remember – there is a cost. FREEDOM ISN’T FREE!!!!!!!

Honor those who serve, who have served and especially remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice this Memorial Day.

To my fellow Veterans – THANK YOU for Serving.

My Best to you all – this Memorial Day.

May 17, 2009 - Got pet food? The Southborough Police are looking for donations to assist the Southborough Food pantry with supplies. In these hard economic times many pets are ending up in shelters as people find they can no longer afford to feed their friend.

If you need pet food, contact Southborough, Massachusetts Police Officer Meredith Lobur at the Southborough Police Station, and she will deliver it.

Southborough, Massachusetts Police Officer Meredith Lobur has offered to help the Southborough Food Pantry by asking for donations to help families feed their pets.

Donations can be dropped off at the Southborough Police Station or you can call Officer Lobur at the Southborough Police business line 508-485-2147 and she will make arrangements to pick up the donations.

Donated items can be unopened bags of dry pet food, canned pet food and unopened treats or you may want to consider a cash donation for the purchase of pet food supplies.

At the present time there is no storage area at the Pilgrim Church closet that acts as the food pantry, Officer Lobur has offered to pick up, store and deliver the pet food for the food pantry.
