A Hard to Get Shot
April 24, 2010 - Southborough readers sent in this shot of the turtles. The photo was taken along a river in Mansfield, MA. This type of shot is very hard to get because the turtles tend to slide immediately into the waters as people approach. So to get the four turtles and then the split reflection is awesome. Thanks! |

In Memoriam
April 21, 2010 - Jim Denman passed away this past Monday. Jim was a loveable character around town. He was involved with so many programs in town - longtime proud supporter and Southborough representative to the Assabet Valley Regional Technical School, active in town politics always attending town meetings including the 2010 meeting and has served as a teller and election worker for many years and was an active member with Southborough's Veterans.
James Baker Denman 1920 - 2010 SOUTHBOROUGH - James Baker Denman, 89, long time resident of South-borough, died suddenly at home on Monday April 19, 2010. He was the beloved husband of Lois (Whidden) Denman for the past 65 years. Jim was born on May 28, 1920 in Bradford, PA, to Bertha Baker Denman and Perley James Denman. He graduated from Bradford High School in 1938, where he was active in football, basketball, and track. He attended Pennsylvania State University until his junior year when he enlisted in the army to serve in WWII. Jim served as an M.P. at Fort Story, VA and later with the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, LA. He was also a military guard for Rommel's Elite Troops, German prisoners of war at Fort Brady, TX. On March 1, 1945, after a 10-day engagement, he married Lois Whidden at Fort Story, Virginia Beach, VA. The couple enjoyed a life-long love affair which recently culminated in a celebration of their 65th wedding anniversary with family and friends at Longfellow's Wayside Inn, Sudbury, MA. With the GI Bill, Jim continued his education after marrying and graduated from St. Bonaventure University in 1949. Pursuing his passion for law enforcement, Jim was employed with the United States Postal Service for 35 years. He worked as a Postal Inspector retiring in 1978. Jim's assignments included Rutland, VT, Boston and Worcester. As an excellent marksman, Jim was responsible for the firearms training of his fellow postal inspectors. Never one to be idle in his retirement, Jim was in his 29th year of service as the Southborough representative on the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School Committee. On May 5, he was to receive the Assabet Valley Hall of Achievement award which was to honor him for his significant contribution to technical education. As a long time member of the organization, he was serving as the Chairman of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Council at the time of his death. In the past he had been President of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees as well as being a member of the Planning Board of Southborough. He was a staunch Democrat and enjoyed working at the polls and town meetings. Jim was an active member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Southborough, serving as usher, lay speaker, senior warden, the vestry and volunteer on every committee. Often times Jim could be seen flipping pancakes at Lenten suppers, participating in the All Saints Day Procession, and was a frequent attendee of the church golf tournament, winning the team championship in the 2008 St. Marks Open. Jim along with his wife Lois, took pleasure in tending to their hundreds of rose bushes and was an active member in the New England Rose Society. Jim also served as president of the group and was a frequent speaker concerning the care of roses at various events. They loved to travel whether it was in their camper throughout the US and Canada or cruising to Europe, the Caribbean and Central America. Jim was an avid sports fan of Penn State Football, St. Bonaventure Basketball, The Red Sox and the Patriots. A devoted amateur golfer, Jim participated in numerous tournaments and was looking forward to this season at the Millwood Farms Golf Course. He played in the Southborough Church Bowling League for over 30 years. From the time of his retirement, Jim and Lois remained committed to exercising whether it was swimming, aerobics, or weight training at the Framingham Sheraton-Tara Health Club and the Wayside Racquet Club. As a member of the "Greatest Generation", Jim looked forward to marching in the Memorial Day Parade every year and was proud of the fact that he could still fit in his uniform!

 April 22, 2010 - Ellen O'Hare and Mary Ann Cole take a moment to chat about the upcoming Relay for Life event to be held at Algonquin Regional High School. Mary Ann's daughter Jackie and Leah Walzwer are the co chairs of the team 50 Girls at the Relay for Life event. Relay is a 12 hour event. It is fun for kids. there are bands and events all evening. Some one in your tent should be taking turns walking the track for the 12 hours. tent can have 6-12. Each person who signs up for a team must raise $100. Once it is dusk they light the luminaries and it is truly a moving event. One not to be missed even if you do not stay overnight come for a part of the time and share this inspiring event. Mary Ann Cole said that This year the Relay for Life is taking place on May 14-15 from 6 PM Friday until 7 AM Saturday morning. We are looking for people who would be interested in walking the first lap - the Survivor lap which takes place at 6 PM on Friday night. I do hope there are some people out there who have survived a period where they had cancer and are now cancer free. Please consider sharing your joy of survival with those who do not understand what it is all about. Surviving cancer is fantastic it is a badge of courage and honor. Your walking shows that there is life after cancer. It will help those who may be in some phase of the disease to know that you can overcome it. If you are not able please email them and share your name and we will share your story.

with a rare form of Stomach Cancer (Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer or HDGC), two years ago and thought she had battled it successfully. Recently the Vanni’s were told the Cancer had returned and spread. The expenses associated with Jeanne’s treatment are significant, and coupled with a poor economy, make it impossible for the family to manage these costs. We are reaching out to you for assistance with our fundraising efforts. As an organization with many ties to our community, we hope you will be willing to send out this appeal, via your address book. With only a short time to accomplish our goals, we wish to contact as many friends and neighbors as we can to ask for assistance with ticket sales, volunteer work and spreading the word about our fundraiser. Please send comments or suggestions to Vannifamilyfund@gmail.com or call (508) 481-1659.Donations may also be made directly through the Vanni Family Fund at “ Middlesex Savings Bank” 162Cordaville Road, PO Box 410, Southborough, Massachusetts 01772. Thank you in advance for your kind considerations. Regards … VFF Committee Members
