MEREDITH - Kenneth Favor Clarke Jr., a longtime resident of
Southborough, Mass., and Meredith, died Wednesday, July 28, 2010, in
California, where he had lived for the past 10 years.
He was born May 18, 1927, in Lexington, Mass., to Kenneth Favor Clarke Sr.
and Kathryn Chase (Collieson) Clarke. He served in the Navy from 1944 to
1946, attended radar electrical school and returned to his beloved New
Hampshire after an honorable discharge.
A graduate of Kimball Union Academy in 1948, Ken was a member of the Ski
Patrol (student leader), Outing Club, French Club (president), and the
Senior Council, Class Secretary. During his senior year, he was voted: "Done
Most for the School." As he would say, "the best years of my life."
He was surrounded by many friends as a vibrant, popular young man. He then
attended Dartmouth College and graduated with honors with a Bachelor of
Science in 1952. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and the
Dartmouth Outing Club. His most remembered stories are around skiing
Tuckerman Ravine and the friendship with his SAE brothers.
As a resident of Southborough, Mass., and Meredith, he was the owner of
Welder's Supply of Worcester, Mass., and Northeast Safety Products, Auburn,
Mass. He served on local welding society boards. He was also an active
member and Deacon of Pilgrim Congregational Church, Southborough. Mass.
He was an avid boater on Lake Winnipesaukee and began racing Garwood boats
in 1948 with his Dad, Kenneth Clarke Sr. Wildcat IV was a 28-foot mahogany
boat with a Liberty 12-cylinder, 550 horsepower and drove at the speed of 52
mph. His love of this sport carried on for 50 years. His first family boat
in the 1960s was a wooden Pen Yan with a 25-horsepower Johnson outboard
named the Honey Bees. He knew every square inch, every buoy and every island
on "The Lake." His many friends still vacation and own homes in the Lakes
Region.
Ken sold his business in early 1980 and moved full-time to New Hampshire. He
worked as a part- time teacher in the Gilford School System until full
retirement.
As a member of Meredith Lions Club from 1987 to 2000, he served as second
vice-president for the 1987-88 year. He then served as the club's president
for 1988-1990. He was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellow in 1996. His favorite
activity and fundraiser was the annual July 4th Rubber Duckie Race. Thanks
to his mentor and good friend Dick Fleming.
In 2000, Ken, moved to California to be near his daughters and grandson. In
his last years, he was lovingly cared for at Britannia Lodge by Pat, Richard
and Joanne Hounsell of Palm Desert, Calif. They are angels to our family.
Ken leaves two daughters, Wendy Clarke of La Quinta, Calif., and Julie
Clarke of Palm Desert, Calif.; a grandson, Kenneth Clarke Lewis of Palm
Desert, Calif.; cousins Rosemary Jackson Woodman and husband Arthur of
Londonderry, Jonathan Tetherly and wife Kay, of Chicopee, Mass., and David

Ken's service and burial will be on Saturday, Aug. 7, at 11 a.m. at Monroe
Cemetery, Rowland Avenue at Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington Mass., (behind
the former Muzzey High/Condos), where Ken will be laid to rest with his

St. Mark's Students
were Selected for Elite Chemistry Competition
July 29, 2010 (Southborough, MA)
For the second year in a row, and for only the third time in the
Chemistry Olympiad’s history, two students from the same school have
been selected to compete among the nation's 20 best students of
Chemistry. Geoff and Alex Smith, both class of 2011 at St. Mark’s
School, were among the top 20 students in the nation selected to attend
a two week study camp in June at the Air Force Academy in Colorado
Springs. From this elite group of 20 chemists, five were chosen to
represent the US in the international competition later this summer in
Tokyo. While the Smith brothers were not chosen to advance to the
competition in Tokyo, Head of School John Warren expressed pleasure at
the fact that his students have been chosen for two years in a row to
compete at this elite level.
St. Mark’s School in Southborough, MA is a co-educational, college
preparatory boarding school affiliated with the Episcopal Church. The
School was founded in 1865 and currently enrolls 335 boarding and day
students from 21 states and 14 countries. For more information, go to

July 29, 2010 - by Linda Hubley - Last night the crowd flowed
out into the hallway as supporters and those in opposition to the three
businesses at Gulbankian Farms and Garden Center came on a hot summer night
to discuss the issues.
A complaint was filed by a resident earlier in the year with
the town, claiming that the businesses were being run without proper
permits. Most of this came to light after the Gulbankian family had
signed a lease with North Reading bus company to host the parking of
fourteen buses. In prior years up to 38 busses had been housed on the
property. An machine shop housed on site has also stirred
controversy. A variance was issued for the machine shop in 1988 and they are
seeking a modification to that variance to reflect working on antique car
engines. As the Gulbankian lawyers stated, the family had nothing to
hide. The shops are all in full view of commuters along Route 85 and
the sign for the machine shop and the flower shop have been in existence at
the corner of the lot for many many years.
The Gulbankian’s started their businesses on the site
starting in 1965. Mike Gulbankian had bus companies that served the
local schools and a Southborough to Boston run along with other contracted
services. The machine shop was originally for the buses according to
documents from the 80’s. However the Gulbankian brothers have been
working on antique auto parts for decades. The florist shop and garden
center have been a welcome sign of spring for even longer.
Building inspector had toured the facility and found the
machine shop operating without proper permits and considered the flower shop
illegally operating. Shortly thereafter a cease and desist was issued
in June. Lawyers for the Gulbankian family took this to the District
Court and won a decision that dismissed the cease and desist and
accompanying fine per day. The lawyers also stressed that the
agricultural business was exempt from what Mr. Gusmini was referring to.
The Gulbankian lawyers also specified that they have
delivered the plans correctly under the Zoning Board of Appeals regulations
and that it did not trigger a major review. Town counsel Aldo Cipriano
agreed that the ZBA was bound by not requiring an extensive plan but that it
could require a plan showing conditions such as screening and drainage and
that they could invoke several other conditions such as hours of operation
and entrance/exit ways.
The ZBA opened the hearing to the public only for procedural
matters on the discussion. People on both sides of the issue pleaded
to the ZBA to be heard. Just a few that had made it to the meeting
last night were able to speak their peace. Several letters were
entered into the record and those and the plans will be available for
viewing at the Building department.
When it came time to the cease and desist hearing a huge
disappointment to the crowd came when it was announced that the procedure of
publishing the notice twice before the meeting had not taken place. It
had only been published once. This hearing will be rescheduled for
August 16. The continuation of the variance is scheduled for August
25. A decision must be filed by the board before September 22, 2010.

LAMB ANNOUNCES
ECONOMIC REVIVAL STIMULUS PLAN
Step One in
Ending McGovernment Jobs Deficit
Holliston, MA ...Today, in front of Congressman
James McGovern Attleboro Congressional Office
and on the front steps of Worcester City Hall,
Marty Lamb,
Republican candidate for Congress in
Massachusetts Third District, announced
his plan for reviving our economy.
"As a small business owner and the only
candidate to sign a front of a paycheck, I know
first-hand how difficult it is to grow a
business and add new employees. I want to
use my experience to revive the business
community and put people back to work," said
Lamb. "As we have seen over the past year
more government spending is not the answer to
reviving the economy.
The Lamb plan includes the following:
Ending the death tax
Implementing a six month payroll tax
holiday for small businesses
Instituting a robust investment tax
credit
Stopping the rollback of the 2001 and
2003 tax cutes
Permanently eliminating capital gains
taxes on new companies
Allow businesses to deduct entire cost of
capital expenses for equipment
Correct the flawed corporate tax
structure
First on the list is eliminating the death tax
which often forces closure of small businesses
when there is a family death. The taxes
are too high to make the businesses profitable.
Moreover, it costs the federal government 65
cents to collect $1 in inheritance taxes.
Lamb's Tax Relief Plan is just the first step in
restoring the economy. He also
believes that job creation and global market
competitiveness can be achieved by modernizing
job training programs, reducing health care
costs without creating a government mandate,
downsizing compliance costs, keeping the dollar
stable, attacking law suit abuse, and reducing
the long-term threat of inflation by reining in
government spending. Lamb plans on further
detailing other Congressional action items to
help spur job growth as the campaign proceeds.
"McGovern voted for the $787 billion big
spending stimulus plan which has not created
jobs. He should have focused on helping
the small business community instead of voting
to waste tax dollars," said Lamb. "We need
private sector growth. Unfortunately the
incumbent has never held a private sector job so
he doesn't understand. Now is the time for
a new Congressman who knows how to create jobs."

Mr. Lamb graduated from the Benjamin N. Cardozo
School of Law at Yeshiva University in 1985 and
received his Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire
College in 1982. He has an extensive background
in real estate law, formerly with Adelson,
Golden & Loria, P.C., Edward A. Sokoloff &
Associates, and Lamb & Shaffer, P.C. and is
currently with Lamb and Browne, P.C. He is a
member of the Real Estate Bar Association of
Massachusetts. An active participant in
community affairs, Mr. Lamb sits on the Board of
Directors of New England Region of United
Synagogue and is a past president of Temple Beth
Torah in Holliston. He has also served on the
Holliston Elementary School Council and the
Campaign for Holliston Schools. He resides in
Holliston with Peri, his wife of 20 years, and
his two teenage daughters Elissa and Simma.

SOLAR ACTIVITY PICKS UP: Earlier today, magnetic fields looping over
the sun's southeastern limb became unstable and erupted. The blast produced
a bright, towering prominence that attracted the attention of amateur
astronomers around the world. Meanwhile, on the sun's northeastern limb, a
big new sunspot is emerging and it is crackling with C-class solar flares.

METEOR SHOWER: The University of Western Ontario meteor radar is picking up
strong returns from the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower, which peaks on
July 28th. Sky watchers (particularly in the southern hemisphere) should be
alert for meteors between about 10 pm and dawn. "Visual rates could be as
high as 20 per hour," notes Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment
Office, "although glare from the nearly full Moon will make many of the
fainter meteors difficult to see."

Fire
Southborough’s 9-1-1 center received a telephone call from a Richards
Road resident at 2:15 PM on Saturday, July 24th reporting a
smoke condition in the basement possibly caused by an electrical issue.
Engine 22
with two on-duty personnel immediately responded; Engine 23 was delayed
as the other two on-duty personnel were returning from Framingham
Hospital from a previous medical emergency.
Engine 22’s
crew reported a smoke condition in the basement of the home. Off-duty
and On-Call personnel were recalled with three responding to the
request. Additional assistance was started to the scene from Ashland
(Tower) and Hopkinton (Rescue for a rapid-intervention team), as well as
station coverage from Westborough Fire Department.
Once
sufficient personnel arrived to meet safety requirements, a search was
started to find the origin of the smoke. A fire was discovered in a
clothes dryer and the ventilation duct. The situation was declared under
control at 2:38 PM. No injuries were reported. The fire was contained to
the clothes dryer and ventilation duct, however smoke from the fire
spread throughout the entire structure.
Hopkinton Fire
July 26, 2010 -
A lone occupant
escaped a house fire early Saturday morning on Priscilla Road after being
awaked by battery-powered smoke alarms. According to Lt. William
Lukey, the fire started in the electrical service in the basement, knocking
out power to the home. Hopkinton has required the installation of hard-wired
smoke detectors in all new construction, upgrades, property transfers and
refinancing, since a Town Meeting vote in 1988, according to the lieutenant.
Lt. Lukey said it has worked out well; but he was unsure if this 1950's era
ranch home had both battery-powered and hard-wired detectors.
According to
Fire Chief ken Clark, all new or upgraded construction requires hard-wired
detectors as well as a battery backup.
"Fortunately,
no one was hurt. Unfortunately, he lost a couple of cats," Lt. Lukey said.

Firefighters also responded to this call on Mutual Aid. It coming
shortly after the 4 alarm Westborough blaze at Harvey's recycling center.

RAPPAPORT
ENDORSES LAMB
Former
Republican State Party Chairman Says Lamb
Best Chance to Defeat Congressman
McGovernment
Holliston, MA ...Today, Marty Lamb,
Republican
candidate for Congress in Massachusetts
Third District, proudly announced
that former Republican State Party Chairman
Jim Rappaport has endorsed his candidacy.
"We need more business leaders serving in
Congress. That's why I am supporting Marty
Lamb. He is the only candidate, Republican
or Democrat, running who has signed the
front of a paycheck and created jobs. Marty
knows first-hand the burdens the federal
government places on small businesses and
how mandates are job killers," said
Rappaport.
For over two decades Rappaport has been
active in GOP politics. He served at the
Republican Party Chairman for 4 1/2 years.
Rappaport has run statewide twice and served
on numerous steering committees. He is also
on the Board of Trustees for Dana Faber and
the Board of Trustees for the Rappaport
Family Foundation.
"I am honored to have Jim's support. Once
again we are showing great momentum in this
race," said Lamb.
Lamb's campaign has a tremendous lead with
friends on Facebook and last week he won an
online poll for Massachusetts Republicans.
"Marty has also earned my support due to the
comprehensive plans he has developed for
dealing with illegal immigration and cutting
government spending. He is the only
candidate who has done his due diligence,"
added Rappaport.
The Lamb Chop Plan on spending includes the
following:
Instituting a balanced budget amendment
Passing a Line Item Veto
Limiting government spending to rate of
inflation (TABOR)
Hiring
freeze for all non-essential employees
Paying off the national debt
Moratorium on new entitlements
Establishing a Sunset Committee
Ending off-budget expenditures
Prohibiting bailouts
Taking back unspent TARP funds
"As a small business owner, I never sign a
contract before knowing what is in it. But
yet Congress passed the national health care
mandate without fully understand its costs
or impact on our economy. That's wrong,"
said Lamb. "At a minimum taxpayer will have
to fund $1 trillion to pay for Obamacare.
Where is the money gong to come from?
Taxpayers? China?"
Mr. Lamb graduated from the Benjamin N.
Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University
in 1985 and received his Bachelor of Arts
from Hampshire College in 1982. He has an
extensive background in real estate law,
formerly with Adelson, Golden & Loria, P.C.,
Edward A. Sokoloff & Associates, and Lamb &
Shaffer, P.C. and is currently with Lamb and
Browne, P.C. He is a member of the Real
Estate Bar Association of Massachusetts. An
active participant in community affairs, Mr.
Lamb sits on the Board of Directors of New
England Region of United Synagogue and is a
past president of Temple Beth Torah in
Holliston. He has also served on the
Holliston Elementary School Council and the
Campaign for Holliston Schools. He resides
in Holliston with Peri, his wife of 20
years, and his two teenage daughters Elissa
and Simma.

participate in the Kiddie Parade.
A suggested donation of $5 per person, $20 per family
entitles ticket-holders to food and beverages and activities. The event will
be held rain or shine.
Northborough town Road Closing
From Tuesday (July 27th) through Friday (July 30th),

Detour routes will be posted and Police Officers will be present at each
end of the detour to assist motorists.
Cars and light trucks will be directed to use Colburn Street to Chapin

FRONT
RUNNER LAMB UNFAIRLY ATTACKED ONCE AGAIN
Ronald
Reagan Would Not Have Been Enough of a
Republican for Herr
Holliston, MA ...Today Marty
Lamb, Republican
candidate for Congress in Massachusetts Third
District, responded to another
inappropriate attack by one of his primary
opponents, Brian Herr, who accused him of not
being enough of a Republican.
"From his comments in the
Telegram & Gazette I would gather that our late
President Ronald Reagan, who was a Democrat at
one point, would not have been a good enough
Republican for Mr. Herr," said Lamb.
"Our party only makes up 12 to 13% of the voting
population in Massachusetts. I would
gather that my opponent wants to keep it
exclusive like a country club."
Lamb is extremely disappointed
that this opponent is running a very negative
campaign. This is the second attack which
attempts to split the party. Lamb has
offered all of his opponents a Republican Unity
Pledge. None of them have signed.
"Herr just doesn't seem to get it
that McGovern is the target, not fellow
Republicans. This is like when Jack E.
Robinson attacked Scott Brown in the primary,"
said Lamb. "I once again challenge my
opponent to sign the Republican Unity Pledge.
Attacking fellow Republicans is not the way to
defeat James McGovern, whose voting record is
more liberal than Speaker Pelosi."
For months, Lamb has been working
nonstop. He has attended hundreds of
meetings, built a district wide grassroots team,
added thousands of friends on facebook,
presented several comprehensive plans on the
serious issues confronting our nation, appeared
on lots of talk shows, and gave a great
performance at the North Attleboro debate."
"My opponent should spend less
time worrying about my record and worry more
about his. I am now once again forced to point
out that my opponent, while serving on the
Hopkinton Board of Selectmen, raised property
taxes and that spending also increased" said
Lamb.
"It seems
to me that he has a lot in common with
Congressman McGovern. They both like to
raise taxes," said Lamb.
Mr. Lamb graduated from the
Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva
University in 1985 and received his Bachelor of
Arts from Hampshire College in 1982. He has an
extensive background in real estate law. An
active participant in community affairs, Mr.
Lamb sits on the Board of Directors of the New
England Region of United Synagogue and is a past
president of Temple Beth Torah in Holliston. He
has also served on the Holliston Elementary
School Council and the Campaign for Holliston
Schools. He resides in Holliston with Peri, his
wife of 20 years and his two teenage daughters
Elissa and Simma.

Statement of Karyn Polito on
Senator Kerry Tax Payments
"In the interest of fairness to all taxpayers, and
in order to collect the revenue it may be owed, the state Department
of Revenue should undertake an immediate investigation of whether
Senator Kerry sought to avoid the payment of Massachusetts sales and
excise taxes in the purchase of his boat, 'Isabel.' No person is
above the law. For people to have confidence that the law is being
applied equally, they need to be reassured that Senator Kerry is not
receiving favorable treatment."
