![]() Learn more about what New England Dental Group by clicking here. On a personal note, I had teeth problems but didn't' want to go back to my dentist as I thought they had wrecked my tooth. So I decided to try out the Southborough News advertiser the New England Dental Group. What a change from my old dentist. Yes there were problems with my tooth. After being referred to specialists from NEDG, I still had to have my tooth pulled on Wednesday, hence no update on Thursday. The office is bright and welcoming, all of the personnel (dentists, office and hygienists) are all kind and knowledgeable and put you in ease of the work to be performed. The dentist office is one of the most up to date technological offices I have seen in a long time. I've had three appointments so far and I have been happy with the outcomes. They can do one day crowns, oral surgery, restorative, Invisalign, teeth whitening, periodontics, endodontics and much more. There are even televisions in each room to take your mind off the dental work. |

NO Flaggers
October 21, 2009 - Two Massachusetts Turnpike bridges will be repaired. In a letter sent to Southborough Police Chief Moran, MA Hiway proposed civilian flaggers citing 4,000 vehicle trips and a low mileage below 40 MPH on both the Route 85 and the Breakneck Hill/Woodland Road bridges. But Chief Moran said they contradicted their count saying upwards of 18,000 trips are made daily near those routes. The Chief also mentioned that the speed is often times more than 40 MPH approaching the bridges. She asserted to Selectmen that Cordaville Road is the town's main thoroughfare North and South and that the flaggers might not have the necessary training to keep the traffic in control for allowing emergency vehicles. The bridge will only have one lane open. Selectmen approved sending a letter to the MAHighway stating they did not want civilian flaggers at these two locations. It was also suggested by audience member Mr. Bartolini that the Selectmen check into restricting the hours that work starts and stops due to the volume of rush hour traffic. |

Problems at the Art Center
October 21, 2009 - Facilities Manager Phil Rinehart presented selectmen last night with a change order for $9,000 extra for repair of the windows. There was much discussion between Selectman Boland and Architect David Hart about how the contract was written, if there was a public showing of the building, did the contractor that was the low bidder do a walk through at the pre bid meeting, and questioned Mr. Hart's and Mr. Steve White of Whipple Construction interpretation of the contract. The $9,000 is for window glazing, refitting of window glass, turning of glass, replacement of glass and several other issues. Mr. Boland, Ms Phaneuf and Chair Giorlandino citied the project for this latest change order. They instructed Mr. Rinehart to go over the line items in the change order to see what should be considered part of the original bid contract. Mr. Boland also brought up that if the front door of the South Union School is not fitted properly for winter weather that he will order a steel door for the building irregardless of historic retrofitting and renovation. |

It's not what you gather, but what your scatter that tells what kind of life you are living! Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow stopped our communities from gathering together to bring some well deserved cheer to our brave troops during the holidays and thank them for their service and sacrifice. This Care Package Drive was the 10th since Lisa Braccio organized the first one in 2005 and we achieved an awesome milestone. Over the years through your continued generosity we have shipped more than 100,000 lbs. and 4900 boxes, touching tens of thousands of lives. "It is not so much what is in the box, but the box itself shows people care and we are not forgotten." -- SSG Charles Rupprecht My heartfelt thanks to all of you who gave us your checks, your products and volunteered your time. For those of you who coordinated your children, their friends and your students to make cards and bring items, please pass this onto them with my thanks. They truly made a difference!
