Students Raise Funds for Haiti
February 6, 2010 - The Southborough Schools have joined together to raise funds for a close colleague, Mr. Edouard Bien-Aime who is the Network Administrator for the Southborough School District. His family, as well as other Haitians have been affected by the tragic earthquake in Haiti. The proceeds that are collected will help distribute life-saving relief supplies – including food, clean water, blankets, and tents -- to children and families devastated by the earthquake and aftershocks in Haiti. Also, the third graders at the Woodward School made a book called “Hearts for Haiti” that will be given to Edouard to be brought to students in Haiti. During an assembly at the Woodward School on Friday, February 5th, a check was presented to Edouard in the amount of $3500.00.

February 3, 2010 - At the Montessori Children's House in Southborough, kindergarten students lead a year-long service project providing monthly decorations for the Meals on Wheels dinners for the Southborough Senior Center. At the beginning of each month, kindergarteners are given a lesson in a craft for that month. From that point on, they are solely responsible for the whole project from giving the lessons to the younger students to collecting, counting, recording, bagging and writing an introductory note to the Senior Center. Kindergarteners from both the morning and afternoon classes communicate through letters left in the classroom mailbox. All children participate in a circle of awareness to discuss needs and challenges facing their senior friends. The Montessori Children's House currently enrolls students from Southborough and nine other surrounding towns. Above Cameron hands over the decorations to Alice for the next Meals on Wheels dinners.

MIDWINTER EAGLE SURVEY RESULTS IN 71 BIRDS REPORTED Despite snow showers across the state, a survey of wintering bald eagles was conducted throughout the Commonwealth by ground crews on January 8, 2010, and by a helicopter survey of the Quabbin and Connecticut River Valley on January 13, 2010. The eagle survey period ended on January 14, 2010. The preliminary results of these efforts yielded sightings of 71 birds. Last year, a record 81 birds were spotted. Wildlife officials from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), volunteers, and interested citizens peered through the falling snow to observe birds from the ground and from the air during the event, which is part of an annual national survey. State data are pooled with national data and used by wildlife officials to track the progress of the recovery of the bald eagle. At the Quabbin Reservoir, 21 adult and 16 juvenile eagles were spotted by the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission helicopter crew, followed by their count of 6 adults and 2 juvenile eagles and 1 eagle of unknown age were seen along the Massachusetts stretch of the Connecticut River. Four eagles (3 adults, 1 juvenile) were spotted at the Wachusett Reservoir by a hardy boat crew of MassWildlife and Department of Conservation and Recreation staff. Other MassWildlife staff and volunteers observed 6 adults and 3 juvenile eagles at the Merrimack River, and 2 adults were seen in the Lakeville area. In Plymouth, 3 adult eagles and 1 juvenile were seen. Other eagle sightings were reported in Fall River, Carver, Arlington, Sandisfield, Pittsfield and the Housatonic River. “We thank the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission, which flew agency biologists by helicopter to survey the Quabbin and Connecticut River.” French also noted that citizen interest in the eagle survey has been very valuable. “With higher numbers of eagles dispersing throughout their range, we can’t possibly cover the entire state. Citizen spotters play an increasingly important role in our survey efforts. This year, we received 87 emailed reports from people who spotted eagles during the 2-week survey period. Last year we received 59 separate reports.” The annual Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey is a nationwide event coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Each year, the number of states participating ranges from 25 to 41 states, according to the USGS. The nationwide total of bald eagles counted during this annual event ranges from 13,000 to 16,000 birds. A fact sheet about bald eagles is found on MassWildlife’s website at www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/nhesp/species_info/nhfacts/haliaeetus_leucocephalus.pdf. |

SALTWATER ANGLERS MUST REGISTER IN 2010 The Division of Marine Fisheries is alerting saltwater anglers to new saltwater fishing registration requirements that are occurring in 2010 and 2011. A new federal law that took effect January 1, 2010 requires most Massachusetts recreational saltwater fishermen 16 years old and older to register with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) either online via www.countmyfish.noaa.gov or by calling (888) MRIP-411 [(888) 674-7411]. There is no fee for federal registration in 2010. People fishing on saltwater charter or head-boats will not be required to register. Private boat or family registrations are not available. This year, non-residents planning saltwater fishing trips in Massachusetts must possess a saltwater fishing permit from any state or from the federal saltwater registration system. Beginning in 2011, saltwater anglers need to be aware that a new state law will require purchase of a state recreational fishing permit for saltwater fishing. The fee for this permit is estimated to be $10 and will be the same cost for all anglers, including non-residents. As in 2010, anyone 16 or older will be required to purchase a saltwater fishing permit. Saltwater fishermen 60 or older will be required obtain a permit, but the permit will be free. Saltwater anglers in the state will not register with the federal registration system in 2011. The new permit system will allow federal and state marine fisheries to collect better data on saltwater recreational fishing. The current data collection system is inefficient and imprecise. Managers need quality data to make the best decisions possible on bag limits, seasons and sizes. Governor Patrick signed the state’s Permit Act into law on November 23, 2009, after it passed unanimously through the Legislature. Support for the Act was driven by a large group of recreational saltwater stakeholders seeking a state permitting program that would exempt anglers from a higher cost federal permit in 2011 and ensure permit revenues went to local user benefits. Stakeholders insisted that the new state law establish a dedicated saltwater recreational fishing fund and that one third of annual appropriated permit funds be devoted to public access projects. For more details and an FAQ page about the new federal saltwater registration for 2010 and state saltwater fishing permit purchase in 2011, go to the Division of Marine Fisheries website at www.mass.gov/dfwele/dmf/recreationalfishing/rec_license.htm |

January 31, 2010 Letter to the editor: If you’re not a dog lover I give you permission to stop reading now. You won’t hurt my feelings and you probably will not appreciate this story. This tale is for the rest of us. “Connie died”, my niece told me tonight. It took a moment for it to register. Connie is the person to whom I owe a good part of my happiness for the past two years. She never knew that but it’s true. It’s because of Connie that Jasper came into my life and Jasper has brought me untold joy. “Aunty Liz, I’ve got the perfect dog for you”. It was my niece, Meredith, a Southboro police officer who started her law enforcement career as a cop for the MSPCA. She has always loved animals and has made much of her life’s work to protect, save and rescue animals in trouble. She has always had an uncanny knack for matching strays and abandonees to the right people. She gave me Rita Mae, my first cat and Baby, our second cat. But when she called with this latest news I was just not ready. We had lost our beloved Shih Tzu six months earlier after a wonderful sixteen years. We had loved Emily so very much but we also appreciated what an easy dog she was. She needed few walks and was pretty low-maintenance. Since her death we had gotten used to the freedom that not owning an animal brought. We had gone away for several weekends and even spent a week in Italy to visit our daughter without having to worry about doggy day care. It had been liberating and I had gotten used to our dog-free existence. I missed the companionship but I could live. Most important, my husband, never a dog lover, at best a dog tolerator, had sworn that there would never ever ever be another dog in our house. A city boy he always declared dogs “a nuisance” and “too much work”. I had pretty much reconciled myself to not owning another dog for a good long while. Over the past year Meredith had responded to several “wellness-checks” at Connie’s tiny bungalow where she lived alone. Each time she went, Jasper had been the only one with Connie, lying at her feet or, this time, standing nearby where she had fallen. “Please Aunty Liz. Just come see him. His owner had to go into a nursing home. I promised her I wouldn’t send him to a shelter. He’s so good.” So the next day my daughter Britt and I drove out to see him. He was on a long tether spiked into the ground. My first thought was that he was not cute. He was not handsome. He was certainly no Emily. But his tail wagged and wagged. He was beyond excited to see us; he craved us. My heart did not melt at that moment, not completely. I told Meredith I had to think about it. But that night I tossed and turned. The image of this homely mutt with the waggly tail, shut up for 23 out of 24 hours a day all alone when he so obviously loved people, was just too much for me to bear. So the next day I begged my husband to let us foster him. “Two weeks, Liz. That’s it. Two weeks”. I picked Jasper up the next day. My niece met me at his house. He’d been sleeping in Connie’s bed waiting.. waiting.. waiting. “Connie rescued him Aunty Liz, from a dumpster when he was a puppy. She heard him crying and she crawled up and got him out. That was about five years ago, I think.” And so began Jasper’s second rescue. I picked him up that afternoon and brought him from Southboro to Winchester. He never was frightened, never was sad. He was just so happy to be with people again. It was almost immediately obvious that this was a dog that was used to living with an 80 year old woman. He loved his morning and afternoon walks but other than these he was content to sleep pretty much the whole day. He didn’t beg for food, jump on guests or demand that you throw the ball or let him run. After a week my husband asked me when he was going back but he knew the answer already. “I’m not sending him back, Jack, ever.” He didn’t argue or fight. In his own stand-offish way even Jack has come to love this dog. He will never walk him. That’s my job. But I think during the day when my retired husband and Jasper are home all day there might be a few pats and scratches exchanged. When Jack goes to Building 19 he almost always brings a treat or a chewy home for Jasper. I think they’re secret buddies and neither one gives up the ruse. My daughter is living in New York City and my son is moving out soon for the second time. The nest will be empty again. Of children. But I’ve got my husband and I’ve got my Jazzy. Thank you, Connie for rescuing Jasper the first time. I’m grateful that I was here for the second. Jasper has found his shelter and his shelter is here. We can all rest in peace.

Don't forget the Pets when Donating to the Food Pantry As the times get tougher, more and more families are going to the local food pantry located at Pilgrim Church. Barbara Jandrue who manages the food pantry in Southborough says they are always in need of canned food, cereals, crackers, backpack snacks, paper products, cleaning supplies and will accept financial donations. But now there is a new need. Many of you have probably read about how the mortgage crisis and economy are making more and more families drop off their beloved pets to animal shelters because they can’t afford to feed them. Southborough 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 pickup, store and deliver the pet food for the food pantry. If you can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you. |
