Notification from:
Trottier Middle School (TMS)
Dear
Parents/ Guardians:
We have just received the official word from Mass Highway Department
that the Northborough Road Bridge will be closed as of 9:00 AM on
Tuesday, 10/20, for the bridge replacement. The construction is
expected to last 2 months. Most of the buses that leave Algonquin
in the AM travel over Northboro Road. As a result, buses have been
rerouted to other roads and this may impact their arrival time at
some bus stops and at Trottier. At this time, it is difficult to
predict how many stops that will be impacted and their changes in
time. Two major changes will take place impacting Bus 13 and Bus 4,
details are listed below. In advance, we apologize for any
inconvenience and we will continue to provide communication as
changes occur.
Thank you,
Keith Lavoie & Gary Hreschuk

Frederick Fred S. Tapper |
|
|
|
Frederick Fred S. Tapper, 68, of Framingham passed away peacefully
in his home on Monday, October 12. A believer of music as therapy
and lover of New Orleans-style Jazz music, Fred recently had begun
organizing music events in the community room at the Hastings House,
where he lived. You might also have seen Fred listening to live
music at his favorite venues: the Sherborn Inn or the Dolphin
Restaurant in Natick. His interests also included genealogy and
tracing back the Tapper family tree, and reading about the life and
works of Frank Lloyd Wright. Fred grew up in Lowell, Mass.,
graduated from Lowell Tech, raised his children in Southborough, and
later moved to Framingham. He is survived by his children: Diana
Tapper and her husband Jason Gorevic of Rye, NY; Eric Tapper and his
wife Jeannie of Southborough; and Elana (Tapper) Natker and her
husband Blake Natker of Boulder, CO; grandchildren Jonah and Hannah
Gorevic, and Olivia Natker; sisters Carol Baldwin and her husband
Peter of Connecticut and Roberta Yush and her husband Ed of Florida,
plus extended family and many friends. Fred was preceded in death by
his parents, Carl and Beatrice Tapper. Services and burial will be
held at Montefiore Cemetery in Pelham, NH on Thursday, October 15 at
11:30am. Guests are welcome to pay their respects at 18 Ted Lane,
Southborough, MA on Thursday, October 15 from 3 8pm and Friday,
October 16th from 12 4pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that donations be made in his name to Healthy Partners c/o JFS of
Metrowest, 475 Franklin Street, Suite 101, Framingham, MA 01702 (www.jfsmw.org
in Fred Tappers name). Donations will go toward enhancing the
quality of life through music at local venues, a mission that was
dear to Freds heart.

Representative Dykema
Testifies in Support of the Community Preservation Act
 Boston-
Representative Carolyn Dykema testified last week in favor of Senate Bill
90, An Act to Sustain Community Preservation. The bill will ensure towns
continue to receive state matching funds to support affordable housing,
protect open space and preserve historic structures.
“Our
farms, opens spaces and historic resources are central to our quality of
life and tourism here in Massachusetts. They also go a long way toward
attracting and retaining our world class workforce.” said Dykema. “The CPA
is one of the few options towns have for protecting our community treasures
and I support SB90 because it’s needed to keep this important program
intact.”
One
of the key features of the original Community Preservation Act passed in
2000, is that a local surcharge on the property tax would be matched using
funds generated by a surcharge on statewide real estate transactions. In the
first six years of the Act, local CPA funds were matched 100% by the
Commonwealth but that percentage is expected to decline to 29% this year.
The changes supported by Rep. Dykema will ensure towns receive a 75% match.
A
cosponsor of the bill, Representative Dykema notes “Matching funds were a
key factor for many towns when they approved CPA and the state needs to
honor its commitment to providing these funds to our communities.”
The
Act to Sustain Community Preservation would also allow CPA funds to be used
for the rehabilitation of existing outdoor parks and other recreational
resources whereas under current law, rehabilitation projects are restricted
to properties acquired with CPA funds.
“In
many cases our towns don’t need new parks, we just need to maintain what we
have. Holliston is a great example, where local residents have been trying
for years to renovate Goodwill Park downtown; the proposed changes to CPA
can help renovate the park for residents of every age and ability.”
Rep.
Dykema is a member of the Joint Committee on Community Development and Small
Business which is currently reviewing the bill.

From Senator Eldridge's Office
Dear Friend,
Last Wednesday morning (October 7th), Senator
Jamie Eldridge suffered an accident in his home, resulting in a fractured
shoulder and several broken ribs and vertebrae. He is undergoing several
surgeries to repair his shoulders and back. Following this, he will be in
recovery, which will require him to be out for the next few weeks.
As a constituent, supporter, and in many cases friend of
Senator Eldridge, we wanted to let you know the news.
In the interim, Senator Eldridge's staff is available to help with all
constituent concerns and inquiries regarding legislation. Please don't
hesitate to call us. However, it will be several weeks before he will be
able to attend public events or respond personally to inquiries.
Senator Eldridge and his family appreciate your well wishes
and patience during this difficult time, and we know he is looking forward
to returning to work as soon as possible.
If you would like to send regards, please feel free to send a note to his
State House office (address below), or to
James.Eldridge@state.ma.us
Sincerely,
Senator Eldridge's State House Staff
Senator Jamie Eldridge

There will be a
Care
Package Drive to Support Our Troops at the Senior Center on Saturday (9-4)
and Sunday (9-3), October 17th and 18th
You can print out
the attached flier for an easy-to-use shopping list. We are currently in
touch with hundreds of soldiers, getting requests from their units. Last May
our communities came together to touch over 30,000 troops. We shipped 400
boxes and over 11,000 pounds – a record! Their willingness to put their
lives on the line and the stories they share truly tug at your heart
strings. This Holiday Drive will be an opportunity for us to thank them for
their service and sacrifice, while they are separated from their loved ones
during the holidays.
Here are some
ways you can help…
1.
Purchase items on the attached shopping list and bring them to the Senior
Center on 10/17 and 10/18. INDIVIDUAL not bulk size please.
2. Bring a bunch of cards with a note of thanks and encouragement. They
love cards!
3. Make a donation. Postage and purchased items are a huge expense
for us.
You may
send me a check made out to CARE PACKAGES FOR TROOPS.
We’ve received checks from as far away as Ohio, Michigan, and Arizona!
4. Give an hour or two of your time that weekend to help pack care
packages.
5. Organize your friends, employees, church, clubs, Scouts, students,
and collect donations and items and make cards.
6. Ask your company to do a matching challenge based on employee
contributions.
7. Send this e-mail and flier to everyone you know to share the
opportunity to help. If you can help me to get the word out that would be
terrific!
My daughter, Courtney,
is a 2LT in the 864th Engineer Battalion at Fort Lewis, WA, and
will deploy to Afghanistan in April. We are currently supporting many of her
friends in Iraq and Afghanistan. They tell us that we can never truly know
how deeply touched they are by your generosity.
I would be so
grateful for anything anyone wants to do and will make it as easy for you to
help as I can. If you aren’t around that weekend, I would be happy to
pick up your items.
Proud Army
Mom of 2LT Courtney Wilson 864th Engineer Battalion!

Southborough Extended Day Program,
Inc., is now
offering a half-day Kindergarten program for families with children enrolled
in the Half-Day Kindergarten Program at the Mary Finn School.
Full-Day
Kindergarten is offered to Southborough families through a lottery process.
This scenario sometimes leaves working parents in search of additional
childcare for children who are not admitted to the Full-Day Program. To
answer this need, Southborough Extended Day Program, Inc. is now offering
programming for the portion of the day children are not in their
Kindergarten classrooms.
The
dedicated programming follows the Kindergarten curriculum
and is play-based with intentions to enhance children’s learning.
It is
currently available for children enrolled in the PM Kindergarten as of
September 2009. Southborough Extended Day plans to provide sessions for
both AM and PM Kindergarten in January 2010 should enrollment support it.
SEDP offers a variety of pricing options. Families can enroll children to
attend anywhere from 2-5 days a week.
Southborough
Extended Day Program, Inc. is located within each of the Southborough
schools. This gives parents comfort, knowing their children will be safe,
happy and in familiar surroundings. SEDP has been serving Southborough
families for over twenty years,
providing childcare for families for before and after school hours, but also
during those days in between where families need help-- holidays, teacher
conference days, half-days and school vacation weeks.
For any
questions or to learn more about the program call Rachelle McCurley, the
SEDP Kindergarten teacher,
directly at (508)481-9353 or visit the programs website at

 Marlboro
Senior Softball team Union Local Ironworker #7 ended the season with two
doubleheader splits.
Marlboro split a doubleheader with
Windham, Ct
winning the first game 7 – 6 and losing the 2nd 9 – 7.
Marlboro’s offense was led by Fred Scerra and Bob Clifford both going 4 for
5.
Local #7 then entertained the Nashua NH Seniors and split their doubleheader
winning the first 14 – 4 and dropping the 2nd 12 – 11. The
Local #7’s offense was led by Mike Otenti 6 for 7 and Fred Scerra 5 for 7.
John Gauvin pitched in with a home run.
The Marlboro teams finished the season with the Iron Workers Local #7 having
a record of 29 and 12. The Friends of the Marlboro Seniors ended up with a
record of 10 and 14. Regardless of our records we all had a great time
playing all season which is what Senior Softball is all about and not wins
and losses.
Commissioner Fred Scerra would like to thank the Marlboro Rec Dept and Parks
Dept for their support and help which without we wouldn't exist. He would
also like to thank all the local media for their coverage of our program and
helping to promote Senior Softball in the area.
Now that outdoors is finished we are now looking for players for
our indoor season which will start in December. Any Marlboro residence is
eligible to play. We will be playing at the new Fore/Kicks on Forrest St on
Monday's and Thursday mornings. Anyone interested should contact Fred
Scerra at
marlsrsoftball@verizon.net
or 774-249-0143. This is a good chance to see what Senior Softball is all
about. |

SVT
Thanks Annual Meeting Sponsors
Sudbury Valley Trustees held its 56th Annual Meeting at its
Wolbach Farm headquarters on October 1st. This meeting
recognized SVT’s achievements in protecting and caring for land in our
region and celebrated the accomplishments of individuals who have
contributed to that mission.
We
are sincerely grateful to the local business community who supported
this event.
We
would like to express our thanks to
Middlesex Savings Bank for their many years of sponsorship
and to Framed In Time (Framingham)
who provided generous assistance in the framing of the conservation
awards. Our appreciation goes to
Roche Brothers/Sudbury Farms and
Sudbury Coffee Works for
providing wonderful refreshments, greatly enhancing the festive nature
of Annual Meeting.
We
feel most fortunate, amidst a recognizably tough economy, to have these
local businesses supporting our work and accomplishments.

Date: Saturday
October 17, Time: 9:30am -
Noon
Location: Fairhaven
Bay, Sudbury River, Route 117, Lincoln
Leader/Speaker: Office
Manager Nancy Hallen and Volunteer Dave
Dimmick
Join SVT for this paddle to
one of the most historic locations along the
Sudbury River. Fairhaven Bay has been
written about and visited by Henry David
Thoreau. Similar to Walden Pond, Fairhaven
Bay is a deep glacial kettlehole; however
Fairhaven is part of the Sudbury River.
Early autumn will likely bring out some
beautiful colors along the river. This is a
paddle not to be missed.
