A READING ADVENTURE WITH DORA AT THE SOUTHBOROUGH LIBRARY!
Dora the Explorer visited the Southborough library as a stop on the The U.Fund Start U. Reading youth literacy series. During a special story time, Dora had children jump into the books by acting out The Three Little Pigs. Dora became the wolf and children volunteered to be the pigs. Big smiles everywhere!
The UFund Start U Reading series was created seven years ago to help educate
parents
The program is sponsored by the state’s UFund College Savings plan and MEFA (Massachusetts non- profit authority helping offer affordable higher education solutions). Funding has allowed the program to travel to over 75 communities throughout the state.
According to Sherri Galego, program director, “Many library hours and budgets have been cut throughout the state. As a mother of two, I understand how this affects the lives of our children. We want to help communities continue to enrich children’s lives so are continuing to offer this fabulous youth literacy series. We travel to communities such as Southborough where families have a thirst to learn more on how to develop their children to their greatest potential.. Parents may also obtain useful information on different financial savings vehicles for college savings, especially beneficial for parents of young children. Many college tuitions continue to increase and could reach $250,000 by the time today's preschoolers are ready for college. MEFA and the UFund want to continue to inspire children with this program, while delivering a unique savings opportunity in this ever changing financial climate.”

CRITTERS OF THE MONTH: Bats—Help DFW Locate Summer Bat Colonies
Bat mortality rates are at an alarmingly high level in Massachusetts and other northeastern states. Surveys in Massachusetts caves and mines conducted by biologists from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in February and March of 2009 have shown dramatic rates of mortality; perhaps as high as 98 percent. The state's largest hibernacula normally contained 8,000-10,000 hibernating bats in winter, but over the winters of 2008/2009 and 2009/2010, nearly all the bats died. Biologists are attributing this die-off to White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), a disease characterized by a white, crusting fungus on their muzzles and other parts of their bodies. Biologists from state and federal agencies and other conservation organizations across the country are trying to find a way to protect bats from this deadly fungus. Efforts are underway to understand how this fungus is spreading and killing bats. The WNS fungus has just recently been described as a new species of cold-loving fungus, but why it has suddenly become a problem is unknown. Ecologically, high bat mortality is a major concern to biologists because most types of bats raise only one pup per year. It would take decades for a bat population to rebound after a large die-off. Concerns have also been expressed about the agricultural and economic impacts of these die-offs. Bats are important predators of mosquitoes and other insects. In a recently published paper in Science, estimates suggest that a single Little Brown Bat can consume 4-8 grams of insects each night during the active season. When extrapolated to the one million bats estimated to have died from WNS, between 660 and 1320 metric tons of insects, including pest species, are no longer being consumed. With summer's hot, humid weather here, some Bay State homeowners may discover bats in their homes. Attics are the most common portion of a house in which bats roost and raise their young. After a few hot summer days, an attic may become too warm for the bats, forcing them out and sometimes into people's living quarters as they search for cooler places to roost. What's a homeowner to do? Fortunately, a single bat flying in a room can usually be dealt with quite easily. Open an outside window or door in the room where the bat is located and close off the rest of the room from the house. It's usually only a matter of a few minutes of circling before the bat locates the open window and leaves the house. Bats do not attack people or fly into people's hair. If a bat has landed, assist it out of the house (wearing gloves) in the following ways: For a bat on a curtain, place a jar, coffee can or small box over the bat, carefully working the animal into the container, and cover it. A bat on the floor can be covered with a towel. Another method is to simply pick up the bat and release it outdoors. Don’t handle a bat with bare hands, use gloves but avoid cotton gloves. Whatever method is used, don't be surprised if the bat squeaks loudly when handled. Take the bat outdoors and release it. If anyone has had direct contact with a bat or if a bat is found in a room with a sleeping person, the bat should be safely captured but not released. Contact local health officials for assistance in evaluating potential rabies risk and submitting the bat to the Department of Public Health for rabies testing. Little Brown Bats and Big Brown Bats are the most likely species to be found in buildings. In some cases, with small numbers of bats, people don't mind their presence and concentrate on blocking holes and cracks leading into the human living quarters. Where there is a large colony in house walls, biologists recommend that homeowners wait to initiate eviction proceedings until the first week of August through November. Waiting to evict the colony allows time for young bats to mature and leave the house on their own. Otherwise only the adults will be evicted, leaving the young pups to die and creating a smelly attic. Learn about the different kinds of bats in Massachusetts, how to evict bats safely, and how to live with them using information from www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/wildlife/living/living_with_bats.htm. A booklet, A Homeowner's Guide to Bats, is also available from MassWildlife offices. To receive a hard copy of the booklet by mail, send a self-addressed, $1.50 stamped 6-inch by 9-inch envelope to: "Bat Booklet", DFW, 1 Rabbit Hill Rd, Westborough, MA, 01581. |

CAROL JOHNSON Age 66, of Valencia, PA,
died on June 26, 2011. Carol was a native of Southborough, MA where she grew
up on a dairy farm that had been in her father's family since the 1600s. She
was the first in her family to attend college, graduating Phi Beta Kappa,
magna cum laude, with a degree in English from Bates College. At Bates, she
was a member of the Merimanders all-female a cappella group and met her
future husband in the Chapel Choir. Books and music were lifelong passions
she brought with her to Pittsburgh where she moved soon after her marriage
to R. Bruce Cooper. Though far from their respective families in
Massachusetts and Texas, Carol and Bruce raised their two daughters, Cathy
and Cindy, in Pittsburgh and created a family of dear friends in the city
they would call home for the next 44 years. After Carol won a cruise to the
Caribbean through a call-in radio contest in the early 1990s, she and Bruce
discovered a shared love of travel. Over the last 20 years, together, they
visited all seven continents, traveling to locales including the Military
Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, and to
the shores of Antarctica and Australia. Even after beginning treatment of
her illness, she and Bruce continued to travel, enjoying a cruise along the
Coast of Norway last summer and visiting their daughters' families for
birthdays and holidays. Always with her, she brought her beautiful voice,
her love of books, an insatiable curiosity, an ever-present camera, and a
remarkable ability to make a personal connection with almost everyone she
ever met. Carol is survived by her beloved husband, Bruce; her mother,
Evelyn M. Johnson, of Framingham, MA; her two daughters and son-in law,
Cathryn (Cooper) and Carl Moyski of Parker, CO, and Cynthia Cooper, MD of
Watertown, MA; her three granddaughters, Morgan Moyski, McKenna Moyski and
Wren Worobey, her grandson, Kai Worobey, and innumerable treasured friends.
Carol was predeceased by her father, Norman Johnson and brother, Lawrence
Johnson. We will miss our best friend, greatest love, most wonderful mother
and Nana we could ever have wanted. Friends will be received at SIMONS
FUNERAL HOME on Friday, July 1, 2011 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. In lieu of
flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: The Pittsburgh Public
Theater, O'Reilly Theater, 621 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or

BOATERS! REPORT ENTANGLED MARINE ANIMALS AT SEA
What else can a boat operator do? Though your first instinct may be to try and free the animal, entanglement experts strongly urge you to resist the understandably natural impulse to assist the animal. Safety is a serious concern as disentanglement attempts by untrained people can be detrimental to the animal and result in serious injury to those involved. Cutting ropes or gear on your own may also cause problems for the entangled animal or create future entanglement issues for marine animals swimming through drifting lines or gear. Finally, boaters do not have the legal authority to perform disentanglements or touch another person’s fishing gear. Sea turtles and most large whales are protected endangered species and it is illegal to handle them without a permit.
The following tips are offered by the partnering agencies for anyone encountering an entangled marine animal:
In addition, operators of all vessels at sea are reminded to secure trash, gear, and other items that may be mistaken for food by marine animals or cause entanglements. Harbormasters, marinas, sporting groups, and marine supply stores are encouraged to share the above information and hotline number with others in order to make the boating public aware of the safest and most effective way to assist entangled marine animals. For further information, contact Scott Landry of the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies at sclandry@coastalstudies.org or call him at (508) 487-3623 x102

Framingham REI — "Mother Nature's Child" Film (Boston) · Date: 6/27/2011 · Event Location: Hunnewell Building Visitors Center · Event Fee: See event details · Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (EDT) · Leader: Arnold Arboretum Description: The free film Mother Nature's Child explores nature's powerful role in children's health and development through the experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood and adolescents. The film marks a moment in time when a living generation can still recall childhoods of free play outdoors; this will not be true for most children growing up today. The effects of "nature deficit disorder" are now being noted across the country in epidemics of child obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Mother Nature's Child asks the questions: Why do children need unstructured time outside? What is the place of risk-taking in healthy child development? How is play a form of learning? Why are teachers resistant to taking students outside? How can city kids connect with nature? What does it mean to educate the 'whole' child? Store Sponsor: Framingham REI
