Unfortunately The Recovery Connection will not be entering a team into the Worcester Sober Softball League this year due to a lack of interest. A sign up sheet has been located at the front desk for a few weeks now and only 2 people had signed up. The league needed an answer as to our participation and based on the lack of interest and the fact that no one was interested in coaching we were unable to enter a team. Sorry for the disappointing news.

The Recovery Sponsors an adopt a space located at the intersection of Main and Bolton St. This will be our third year sponsoring this location. Our sign is located there and it is very important to keep that area looking great as it reflects upon the center and the recovering community as a whole. If anyone is interested in helping with the upkeep of the adopt a space please see Kelly at the center. Help is very much needed and all volunteers are appreciated. Thanks and hope there will be some interest.

Richard K. Bennett, president and CEO of Marlborough Savings Bank, has been elected chairman of Marlborough Hospital’s board of trustees. The Marlborough Hospital board of trustees is an all volunteer board.

Bennett is president and CEO of Marlborough Savings Bank, joining the bank in 2001. At Marlborough Savings Bank, Mr. Bennett oversees its daily operations.

Mr. Bennett resides in Stow.

Mr. Bennett takes over the chairmanship from Cornelius “Neil” Ferris of Southborough, who is retiring after serving 10 years as a member of the Marlborough Hospital board of trustees, eight of those years as chairman. Mr. Ferris also served four years as a member of the UMass Memorial Health Care system board of trustees.

Michael D. Murphy, president of D. Francis Murphy Insurance in Hudson has been appointed vice chairman.

Japan Disaster Relief: Tips for Giving Wisely
In the wake of the devastating earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan and its aftermath, the Attorney General’s Office encourages residents to consider donating to charitable organizations that can help those who have been impacted by this devastating natural disaster. Relief efforts are currently underway and are expected to continue through the upcoming months. In light of this ongoing effort, the AGO warns potential donors to protect themselves from fundraising scams claiming to benefit those affected by last week's catastrophe.

To best assure that your donation will be used for its intended purpose, the AGO offers the following suggestions:

•Check to see if the charity is registered and filing with the Attorney General’s Non-Profit Organizations/Public Charities Division. Registration and filing information can be obtained online at www.mass.gov/ago/charitiesreports  or by calling the division at 617-727-2200 x2101.
•Know your charity. Take the time to verify the address, phone number, contact information, and review the website and written material, when possible. If you have any doubts, well established charities with experience in disaster relief are generally a good choice.
•Do not pay by cash. Pay by check, and make it out to the charity (use its full name; don't use initials), not the fundraiser. Never give your credit card number to a fundraiser over the telephone.
All charities and fundraisers operating in Massachusetts are required by law to register with the AGO. This requirement also applies to businesses that advertise a portion of their sales will go to earthquake relief. While registration with the AGO does not indicate that the office approves or endorses the organization, it does provide the public with valuable information regarding how long the organization has been in existence, its financial condition and its track record of complying with state registration and filing requirements.

For more tips on giving wisely to disaster relief charities, please visit the Non-Profits & Charities portion of the AGO website.

 

THE SOUTHBOROUGH FIRE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MEMO FROM THE STATE Department of Environmental Protection  ON MARCH 16th, 2011, WHICH EFFECTIVELY CHANGES OPEN AIR BURNING MID-STREAM, AND LIMITS THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT BURNING WILL BE ALLOWED BETWEEN NOW AND MAY 1st:

Chief and/or Forest Warden:

To address recent changes in federal Air Quality Standards, the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) now issues daily determinations about the suitability of conditions for open burning, based on monitoring of the atmosphere and weather.   The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recently tightened the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ground-level ozone, and has also established a new standard for fine particles.  While ground-level ozone or “smog” is a health concern primarily during the warm weather months, particle pollution – an airborne mixture of solids and liquid droplets often resulting from combustion – can pose year-round health risks, particularly for children, seniors, and people with asthma, other respiratory problems, and heart-related issues.

Massachusetts law allows open burning from January 15 to May 1 (except in 22 communities where the practice is prohibited).  During this period, MassDEP is responsible for safeguarding the public from health risks associated with open burning on days when weather and wind conditions will not disperse smoke effectively.  Massachusetts Fire Departments can help by issuing permits for open burning only on days when air quality is good, and weather/wind conditions are favorable for effective smoke dispersal.   In this way, we can minimize the potential air pollution threat to people who are sensitive to smoke, and to the community at large.

In an effort to provide timely assessments of air quality conditions to local fire departments before they issue permits, DEP has set up two venues for obtaining its daily forecasts. 

The  windy, dry days of spring, which are better for smoke dispersal are generally high brush/grass fire danger days (the tree canopy has not come into full bloom resulting in tinder-dry leaves and grass on the ground in woods and forests), and burning is not allowed on those days. Cloudy, damp days, which drastically reduce the chance of a permit fire causing an out-of-control brush/grass fire are not conducive for good air quality. Brush burning permit days will be greatly reduced this season due to these enhanced regulations.

Plan your burning ahead of time.

Chipping and mulching are alternatives recommended by DEP

LAST NIGHT on Wednesday March 16th the Animal Shelter Inc. of Sterling, MA at 17 Laurelwood Rd in Sterling MA was broken in to....

 the kennel door was kicked open and a total of 9 PUPPIES all recovering from surgery and on much needed medications were stolen from the shelter.

Sterling PD was here today dusting for finger prints, taking photos and looking for evidence. A stolen car was recovered with engine still running at a daycare facility behind the shelter and abandoned. We believe there were more than 1 person/s involved and that they'd probably been here...to scope out the property and knew exactly what they were looking for.

These puppies were all rescues from the South where they were facing euthanasia due to overpopulation. HALF OF THESE PUPPIES WERE SCHEDULED TO BE SENT TO THE DEDHAM ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE FOR ADOPTION AS WELL!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SPREAD THE WORD! ALL THESE PUPPIES WERE SPAYED AND NEUTERED IN THE PAST DAY/S..... SO THEY SHOULD BE EASILY ID'ED.

REWARD FOR ANYONE LEADING TO RECOVERY OF THESE PUPPIES...NO QUESTIONS ASKED.... OUR CONCERN FOR THEM IS THAT THEY'VE RECENTLY HAD SURGERY AND ARE ON MEDICATION/S - SOME ARE ALSO BEING TREATED FOR MEDICAL ISSUES AND DESPERATELY NEED THEY'RE ANTIBIOTICS...

ANY INFO PLS CONTACT LEIGH GRADY THE SHELTER DIRECTOR AT LEIGH13@IX.NETCOM.COM<mailto:LEIGH13@IX.NETCOM.COM> OR CALL HER CELL PHONE 978 423 1467

WE NEED HELP FROM THE MEDIA AND ALL PET RELATED ORG'S TO HELP US TRACK THIS PERSON/S DOWN AND BRING OUR PUPPIES HOME....
PLS CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE!

Southborough Library to Host Galway Bay author Mary Pat Kelly, Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m.

SOUTHBOROUGH – Author and filmmaker, Mary Pat Kelly, will visit the Southborough Public Library to share her many family stories on Ireland, the struggle of the Irish in history, and to talk about her most recent book, Galway Bay, which has just recently been published in paperback. The public is invited to this free event on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m.
Ms. Kelly has worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter for two large movie houses, and in New York City as associate producer with Good Morning America and Saturday Night Live. She received her PhD from the City University of New York.
Among the book’s many praises, the late Frank McCourt said, “After reading her novel… you might wonder if Mary Pat Kelly knows everything about 19th century Ireland, the Great Famine, and the emigrant experience in America. As they say in Ireland, ‘take your ease with this book’…you'll need time for laughter and tears and pure magic."
The Library is located at 25 Main Street, at the corner of Routes 85 and 30. All are welcome. Please visit or call the library at 508-485-5031 to sign up for this event.
 

Assabet Valley Mastersingers Present

Assabet Valley Mastersingers, in an enthusiastic welcome to spring, will present Carl Orff’s popular Carmina Burana on Sunday, March 20, 2011.  This “dramatic cantata” was inspired by an unusual collection of 13th century poems   discovered in a Bavarian monastery—surprisingly ribald and joyous to have been found in such a setting.  Vigorous accompaniment will be provided by two pianos and percussion ensemble.   AVM Artistic Director Robert P. Eaton will conduct the full ensemble, including renowned vocal soloists soprano  Merrycarol Yumi Wada, tenor Arthur Rishi, and baritone Philip Lima with the Algonquin Regional High School Concert Choir and the Assabet Valley Mastersingers.

Also on the program will be heard Johannes Brahms’ Neue Liebeslieder Walzer, opus 65, a group of lyrical, sometimes woeful, richly Romantic love songs.  For evident reasons, the 3:30 pm concert on March 20th has been dubbed “Wine, Women, and Song.”

The auditorium at St. Mark’s School, 25 Marlboro Road (Route 85) in Southborough is accessible to the physically challenged.  Assistive listening systems, courtesy of Crossroads Community Foundation, are available at all concerts for use by hearing impaired audience members. Large print programs will be offered to those desiring enhanced readability.  This concert has been graciously supported by a grant from Avidia Charitable Foundation.

Concert tickets may be purchased at Robinson Music Company, Westborough; Shattuck’s Pharmacy, Northborough; Shrewsbury Federal Credit Union, Shrewsbury; English Garden Florist, Southborough;  Arts Alliance in Hudson; and both Joy-Den Jewelers and Main Street Café in Marlborough.   Advance sale tickets are discounted $1 (one) from the general price of $20 (twenty) and $18 (eighteen) for students and senior citizens.

For further information call (978) 562-9838 or reference www.avmsingers.org.   Partial funding for the Assabet Valley Mastersingers, a non-profit organization, has also been provided by the Massachusetts Cultural Council through local Arts Councils.

Racing to Save Lives

On Sunday May 29th, I'll be running on Team Nicholas in Boston's Run to Remember. The event is a 5 mile celebration and tribute dedicated to all the fallen heroes of our country. Nicholas Manz, an 8-year old boy I babysit, was recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. The chances of curing leukemia are recognizably higher than most cancers, and with monitored treatment, most children can beat the disease without fear of its return. In support of Nicholas's recent diagnosis, our team has dedicated our fundraising efforts to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in his honor.

I'm training to participate as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team Nicholas-Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
