magnetosphere enough to directly expose some satellites in
geosynchronous orbit to solar wind plasma. High-latitude sky
watchers should be alert for auroras after nightfall. Check

Capstone Announces the
Winner of an $8,900 Value
Bathroom Give-Away
Contest
It’s no secret that many people continue to struggle
with the depressed economy. At the same time, families are trying
to make the best of what they do have at home. For all those people
that desperately need home renovations, what do they do if they just
cannot afford them? More likely than not, now is a time that many
homeowners are putting that to-do list aside.
Charbel and Christine Najem, co-owners of Capstone
General Contracting, Inc. in Worcester, wanted to give homeowners an
opportunity they couldn’t afford to miss out on.
On April 20th, 2011, Capstone launched their “Help!
I Need a New Bathroom” Contest on their Facebook Page. Through July
5th, 2011, Facebook fans of the Capstone Page could enter
a photo of their current bathroom – proving just how desperately
they needed renovations – for the chance to win a free bathroom
makeover package valued at $8,900. A voting phase then began on
July 5th, when all participants could invite their
friends and family to vote for their bathroom photo on the Capstone
Facebook wall.
The ultimate goal of this contest was to drive more
fans to the Capstone Facebook Page.
On Thursday, July 28th, Capstone announced
the winner of the “Help! I Need a New Bathroom” Contest; the
participant with the highest number of votes for their bathroom
would win. Andrea Morais, a local West Boylston resident, received
a very welcomed phone call from Christine and Charbel on Thursday.
Welcomed, because she learned that she had won that free bathroom
makeover she otherwise may not have been able to afford.
Charbel and Christine Najem have built their business
based on the notion that lasting relationships with the people they
serve are invaluable. As they continue to cultivate a stronger
Facebook presence for Capstone, their hope is that their desire to
help people will become more widespread.
This is why Capstone is so successful. Whether it’s
getting involved in the local community or giving away an $8,900
bathroom package to a deserving homeowner, Christine and Charbel
share a simple yet powerful belief: helping others is the most
rewarding part of business and life.
Capstone General Contracting, Inc. is located at 51
Union Street, Suite 118 in Worcester, Ma. More information can be
found on their website,
www.gccapstone.com, their
Facebook Page,

State
Officials to Lead 11 Public Tours of Forest and Wildlife Lands
Focus on State Forestry and Habitat Management Practices
Professional
foresters and wildlife biologists from the Department of Fish and
Game (DFG) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)
will host a series of 11 tours this summer and fall to discuss state
forestry and wildlife habitat management practices. DFG’s Division
of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) will host eight public
tours on the Commonwealth’s Wildlife Management Areas (WMA). DCR
will host three public tours.
The
MassWildlife tours will occur across the entire state and will focus
on abandoned agricultural lands that have been reclaimed into
shrubland and grassland habitat to support both rare species and
other native wildlife species of conservation concern.
“Both grassland
and shrubland habitats have declined dramatically throughout the
Commonwealth over the past century, and native plants and animals
associated with these open habitats have declined as well, sometimes
at alarming rates,” said DFG Commissioner Mary Griffin. “We
encourage people to attend one or more of these events to learn how
active habitat management bolsters native wildlife populations.”
Two DCR tours
will take participants through forested areas harvested for the
purposes of watershed management, timber production as well as
forest and wildlife habitat diversity. A third DCR tour will feature
a small sawmill that produces rough lumber for local home and
agricultural uses.
“The
Patrick-Murray Administration is interested in engaging the public
on issues related to forests and welcomes people to share their
thoughts, questions and concerns while enjoying a walk in the
woods,” said DCR Commissioner Edward M. Lambert, Jr.
The state lands
tours will be conducted rain or shine. Participants should wear

SUMMER NIGHTS COMES
TOGETHER WITH TREMENDOUS COMMUNITY SUPPORT Band Sponsors Secured,
Luxurious Raffle Prizes Confirmed and Much More
Southborough, MA – August
1, 2011 – In true Southborough fashion, the Southborough Summer
Nights event has come together again this year with tremendous
support from the town and surrounding area businesses and
organizations. Without their generous support, this event would not
be possible.
This year, our amusements
and entertainment will include an obstacle course, rock wall, dunk
tank, moon walk, pony rides, basketball shoot out, face painting and
the popular bubble romp. Entertainment will be provided by The
Infractions. Food this year will include pizza from Domino’s, kabobs
and pulled pork sandwiches by Mr. Jack’s Catering, sandwiches by
Quizno’s, hot dogs, burgers, fried dough, and cotton candy by Dean’s
Concessions, sushi by Yama Zakura and ice cream by The Creamery. The
random drawing for each exciting raffle will take place around 8pm
followed by the spectacular display of fireworks sponsored by Bill
Depietri of Capital Group Properties and the non-profit
organization, Friends of Southborough Recreation.
In our previous release,
we mentioned the need for band sponsors. Representatives Carolyn
Dykema and Steven Levy and Senator Jamie Eldridge stepped up again
this year, as well as newcomer Rhythm Dance Company – a new dance
school in Westborough – to fund the band.
The funding for the
amusements and entertainment that is offered free of charge include
Brendon Properties, Choice Car Wash, Fay School, Long Cadillac
Hummer Saab, Middlesex Savings Bank, Southborough House of Pizza,
Southborough Kindergroup, St. Mary’s Credit Union, Tomasso
Trattoria, Wellen Construction and Yama Zakura.
Annual support from the
community and surrounding businesses continues to be strong this
year. “I am always amazed at the generous support the sponsors give
each year regardless of our economic climate.” said Robin Martin,
Co-Chair of the Summer Nights group. “We’re deeply grateful”.
New to this year are the raffle
drawings. Raffle prizes include two-nights stay and breakfast
packages from both the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel and the
Sheraton Boston Hotel, a two-nights stay and ground transportation
provided by ETS package at the Boston Marriott Copley Place, a
two-nights stay and $100 restaurant gift certificate
package at the Lenox
Hotel and a one-night stay and breakfast package at the Boston
Marriott Long Wharf.
In addition to the hotel
packages, we’ll be raffling off two family packs of New Balance
shoes that include three pairs of shoes each, a Warrior boys
lacrosse gift basket and a Warrior girls lacrosse gift basket.
Retail values for the raffle prizes range from $500-$700 each.
“We’re thrilled with this new addition to the event thanks to one of
our volunteers” said Martin, “and to the individual hotels and New
Balance for their donations”. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5
a ticket or three tickets for $10. Each prize will have its own
entry box and drawing. Visit the Summer Nights information booth to
purchase tickets and choose from the eligible prize options.
Also, stop by booths at
the event from Meininger Family Chiropractic, Yummy Mummy, Gadget
Guy, Hooray for Books and Stony Brook Golf Course.
Continue to check out the

Peter J. Nicholas
was born December 29th, 1934 in the village of Palopaniagia ,Sparta,
Greece. He died at home in Southborough, MA, surrounded by his
loving family on June 24, 2011, at the age of 76. He was the proud
father and best friend to his son Ilya P. Nicholas and his wife Lucy
and beloved grandfather to his favorite girls, Natasha and Elyssa.
Peter was predeceased by his parents, Arete and John
Nikolakakos(Sparta, Greece). He leaves his three loving and
dedicated sisters and their respective spouses , Angeleki and John
Tselekis of Marlboro, MA., Penelope and Takis Michailos of Tarpon
Springs, FL., and Kanella and Anargyros Skantzaris of Burlington,
MA. He was also the Uncle and Great Uncle to 17 adoring nieces and
nephews. Peter was a charismatic and compassionate man with an
endearing smile, who easily made friends from all walks of life.
Peter's self-written motto was, " The world belongs to those who
dream and dare take that step beyond", and that was how he lived his
life, always on his own terms. By the age of 12 Peter had lost both
his Father and Grandfather. Peter and his eldest sister, Angeleki,
became the primary caregivers for their Mother and sisters in
war-torn Greece. He worked numerous jobs (construction, waiter,
etc.) over the next 10 years to help support his family and
eventually help them immigrate to the United States. Peter served in
the Greek military, and after completing his service, he attended
and graduated from the Dolianites Beauty Academy of Greece.
Immediately thereafter he opened up his own salon which quickly
became an attraction for top models in Greece. Peter then followed
his family and immigrated to Lynn, MA in 1962. For the next 10
years, he worked as a successful stylist in top salons in Harvard
Sq. Cambridge and on Newbury St. Boston. Being true to his
entrepreneurial spirit, Peter was always his own boss. He went on to
design and run two of his own salons in Marlboro, MA. Over the next
two decades, in addition to his beauty salons, he bought and
renovated numerous real estate properties throughout Massachusetts.
Peter's real passion was his art, his photography and abstract
painting. He worked as a photographer in exclusive clubs and events
in the Boston area, and he photographed numerous entertainers,
celebrities, and public figures. As an artist, he painted until the
last months of his life. His abstract paintings decorate the walls
of numerous public and private institutions and businesses around
the country. He loved sharing his passion for art. True to his Greek
heritage, he strived for a balance between mind and body. He was a
philosopher /writer of many self help positive quotations. He kept
abreast on local/world politics and always looked forward to a good
debate. He was a master builder who created beautiful and unique
additions to his homes and business'. But most of all he loved to
garden. He gained great pleasure in sharing the fruits of his labor
with his family and friends. Peter took the greatest pride in his
son who was the focal point of his life. They shared an unbreakable
bond of friendship, loyalty and love for each other. He will be
tremendously missed by his son, family, and friends. At Peter's
request he was cremated and all services will be private.
Contributions in his memory can be made out to Peter Nicholas Art
Institute at PO Box 692, Southborough, MA, for support in art
education. |

The Southboro 11 District Team
enjoyed a very successful summer season. The goal of the team this
summer was to compete in highly competitive tournaments and win the
District 5 11 year old tournament. The boys accomplished every one
of their 2011 summer goals. Overall, the team ended the season 20-3
in games played, winning three championships in three different
tournaments (Easton, Mansfield, and District 5) and making it to the
semi-finals of the Milford 12 year old tournament.
The boys played very
consistently all summer with great defense, very effective pitching
from a deep staff, and strong & timely hitting. The team hit over
.500 for the season and had a combination of clutch hitters, OBP
machines and power hitters. This combination of hitting prowess made
it very difficult for teams to pitch around the entire line-up. The
pitching staff was excellent all season and was backed by an
excellent defense that made clutch plays when it counted. The final
few games of the season were exciting with a close win over
Northboro in the District semi-finals and a see-saw win in a game
versus Shrewsbury in the District 5 finals game …a nice way to end
the season. Congrats go out to all of the boys on the Southboro
Distict 11 Summer team and their coaches.

Sales
tax holiday set for August 13-14; Governor will sign
Taking
quick action, the Legislature has approved a bill authorizing a
sales tax holiday for the weekend of August 13-14. The Governor's
office has already said he will sign the bill, probably early next
week.
The
terms and conditions for the holiday will be identical to those of
previous holidays;
Technical Information Release 10-10 from last year's holiday
will get a quick rewrite to make it work for this year.
DOR's
preliminary estimate is that taxpayers will save about $20.5 million
over the two days.
The
holiday began as a one-day event 2004, and has been held annually
since then with the exception of the summer of 2009, which was the
same time the sales tax increased from 5 percent to the current 6.25
percent. The savings to taxpayers have been estimated as follows:
2004, $10.1 million; 2005, $15.4 million; 2006, $16.9 million; 2007,
$15.9 million; 2008, $14.9 million; and 2010, $19.9 million (first
time holiday was held with sales tax rate set at 6.25 percent). |
First EEE Positive
Mosquito Sample in Massachusetts
Cover up or wear bug spray to avoid getting bitten
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH)
announced today that Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus has
been detected in mosquitoes in Massachusetts for the first time this
year. EEE infection was confirmed by the William A. Hinton State
Laboratory Institute today. The mosquito sample was collected on
July 19th in the town of Bridgewater in Plymouth County. There have
been no human cases of reported West Nile virus (WNV) infection or
EEE so far this year in Massachusetts.
There was one case of EEE in a Massachusetts resident in 2010, as
well as in a Rhode Island resident who was probably exposed to the
virus in Massachusetts. Indicators of significant risk for human
infection with EEE last year led to a large scale aerial spray to
control populations of mosquitoes in Bristol and Plymouth Counties.
EEE is usually spread to humans through the bite of an infected
mosquito. EEE is a serious disease in all ages and can be deadly.
“Today is our first reminder that EEE virus is circulating in our
environment,” said DPH State Epidemiologist, Dr. Al DeMaria.
“Southeastern Massachusetts has historically borne the brunt of EEE,
although the Northeast along the New Hampshire border has emerged as
a concern more recently. It isn’t exclusive to those areas, however,
and avoiding mosquito bites should be a priority wherever you are.”
All WNV and EEE positive results from 2011 can be found on the
Arbovirus Surveillance Information web page at www.mass.gov/dph/wnv.
People have an important role to play in protecting themselves and
their loved ones from illnesses caused by mosquitoes.
Avoid Mosquito Bites
•Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Use a repellent with DEET
(N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of
lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to
the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be
used on infants under two months of age and should be used in
concentrations of 30% or less on older children. Oil of lemon
eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years of age.
•Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are
peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor
activities that occur during evening or early morning.
•Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wearing long-sleeves,
long pants and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away
from your skin.
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
•Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water.
Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed
by either draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain
gutters and drains. Empty any unused flowerpots and wading pools,
and change water in birdbaths frequently.
•Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having
tightly-fitting screens on all of your windows and doors.
More information is available on the DPH website:
www.mass.gov/dph/wnv Information about WNV and Eastern Equine
Encephalitis is also available by calling the DPH recorded
information line at 1-866-MASS-WNV (1-866-627-7968), or the

Why did you become an
intern? I thought that
this would be a great
opportunity for me to gain
experience. Also, I enjoy
helping people and this
internship enables me to work
with other volunteers and
employees for an important
cause.
What's your primary
role? I am one of the

includes a wide range of PR
tasks, research and helping
support the events.
What do you like best?
The feeling that I have at the
end of the day, knowing that my
dedication and hard work will

What is the Difference? |
"Early-Stage"
"Early-Onset"
"Younger-Onset"
Early-stage
Alzheimer's refers to a stage of
the disease progression.
Younger-onset
Alzheimer's, also known
as Early-Onset Alzheimer's,
refers to individuals younger
than age 65 who have a diagnosis
of Alzheimer's disease. It does
not refer to a specific stage of
the disease progression. People
with younger-onset dementia can
be in any stage, early through
late. In addition, younger-onset
Alzheimer's is commonly used
in international communities, &
there is value in seeking not
only to be consistent but also
in using this as a better
descriptor of the person with
the disease. (Note: Avoid
shortening to
"young-onset Alzheimer's,"
as that term has been used by
the Mayo Clinic to refer to a
very small population aged 17 to
45 that have an Alzheimer's
diagnosis.

Introduction to the Use of Compasses and Maps for Land Navigation
Through classroom instruction and hands-on practice, learn to read
topographic maps, use geographic location systems, compasses and
clinometers, and global positioning systems. During a field excursion,
practice navigating in small groups to several points using a map and
compass. All participants should be prepared for classroom lecture and field
time in the woods at a local state park. Bring a note pad, mechanical
pencil, cell phone, calculator, lunch, drinking water, insect repellent,
sunscreen, and dress appropriately for the weather (rain or shine). Bring a
compass, clinometer, GPS, protractor, or UTM plotter if you have them;
otherwise they are provided. It is strongly recommended that participants
either wait to purchase any of these items until after the training or
contact the instructor prior to purchasing anything.
