Pretty but Invasive
October 25, 2007 - Berries from the Bittersweet plant lay on top of dried leaves. This plant although very pretty in the fall and oftentimes used for wreaths is an invasive species that was introduced as an ornamental plant in the 1800's. It now runs rampant through the Northeastern part of the United States, choking out native vegetation and killing trees by it's climbing heavy growth. The seeds are picked up by birds and deposited in new locations helping to spread the plant. |

Preplan for Disasters
October 24, 2007 - by Linda Hubley. The scene on the television is intense. People are running out of their homes with only a few possessions as police and firefighters race through the neighborhood evacuating the residents. Flames roar up the hillsides toward the homes. In minutes some residents watch their life’s belongings going up not just in smoke but in vicious flames that level everything they ever owned. People are tenting, sleeping and sitting around at the Qualcomm Stadium awaiting word on when they can go back to their homes or to hear the status of their homes. People are holding on to their pets, horses and livestock are in makeshift corrals. In a moment’s notice would you be prepared to evacuate? What would you take? Where would you go? Do you have a plan in place? If not, you might just want to take that extra step toward preparedness for one never knows when some natural or man-made event may cause you and your family to leave behind your home and your possessions. It has been said that Massachusetts is one of the safest areas to be for Natural Disasters. With its water, green grasses and large forested areas our terrain does not lend itself to the extent of the tragic losses that we are seeing in California. We do still get our share of wildfires or brushfires. Our area is also prey to tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, severe thunderstorms, blizzards, hazardous materials incidents, power outages and more. In recent weeks we have watched La Jolla, California residents have to evacuate from a landslide that affected over one hundred homes. This past weekend, New Orleans was hit with about ten inches of rain causing flooding and damage to newly rebuilt homes. Tornadoes wrecked havoc from Pensacola, Florida to Michigan. This week we are witness to the major wildfires in Southern California that has caused the largest evacuation of residents since the American Civil War. Nearly a million people have been evacuated. With the exceptions of floods, New Englanders have not seen major upheavals in evacuation or emergency disaster operations in a long time. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen and we should be prepared. So how do you prepare? First step is developing a plan. Make sure that the plan includes emergency numbers out of the area. (When disaster strikes, many times cell phones and the phone lines locally to the disaster will go down and only long distance calls can be handled). Make sure that you have copies or the originals of home owners insurance and other important papers. Have extra medication or your prescriptions readily available. Flashlight, portable radio, batteries, first aid kit, cash or checks (ATMs and banks may be closed due to catastrophe or power outages), three days supply of water and food (food should be non-perishable and have a manual can-opener on hand). For more information on preparedness for you and your family check www.southboroughfire.org www.redcross.org www.ready.gov Now that you have prepared for you and your family, what about your pet (s)? We saw what happened during Hurricane Katrina. People did not want to leave their pets behind and therefore they did not seek shelter thereby endangering themselves and rescuers. Some that stayed behind died. Other residents that thought they would be back in a day or two left their pets behind only to have them drown or die from starvation. In 2006, President Bush signed a law into affect that all cities and towns across the nation had to have a plan in place for pets or jeopardize grants and funding. Southborough has been lucky in that it has had a group of dedicated volunteers since 2003. This group did extensive research on various pet emergency disaster plans around the country. Pulling plans from California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, North Carolina and New Hampshire the Southborough Animal Disaster Preparedness committee developed a plan for pets that was officially accepted by the Southborough Local Emergency Planning Committee earlier this year. The basis of the plan though is through public education explain how necessary it is to have a plan for your pet(s) in place ahead of a disaster. Most people shelters will not accept animals. The SADP committee has a website www.southboroughanimaldisasterpreparedness.org that lists various hotels and information on how to put a pet kit together. Several members have become active in SMART (State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team) http://www.smart-mass.org/ Members of the SADP will be getting CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) this fall/winter. They are looking for more volunteers to help out in case there is an emergency within town. SADP would like to train people in pet sheltering and rescue. It is a commitment to get trained but well worth it. |

Southborough Resident Wins Red Sox World Series Tickets Go Boston Red Sox!! Click here for winning video by Dan Mattioli MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ANNOUNCES THREE WINNERS OF ACTOBER.COM CONTEST Three Creators of Winning MLB Videos Receive Tickets to Game Three of 2007 World Series in Colorado. Major League Baseball today announced the three winners of its actober.com contest, each of whom will receive an all expenses paid trip for two to Game Three of the 2007 World Series in Denver. After several rounds of competition, the three winners, Dan Mattioli (Los Angeles, California), Jake Bern (Oakland and Los Angeles, California) and Peter Tipold from (Nottawa, Ontario, Canada), were decided by an online vote. The competition launched in July at the 2007 All-Star Game. “MLB fans have a passion for Baseball that transcends the playing field. Our fans mark time in their personal lives by Baseball events, particularly postseason Baseball events.” said Tim Brosnan, Executive Vice President, Business, Major League Baseball. "Congratulations to our three actober.com winners – your work is now a part of our historic postseason archives.” “The Sox and Me,” the actober video created by Dan Mattioli (with help from friend Bobby Goldstein), chronicles Dan’s ups and downs from 1986 until 2004 with his life events occurring in parallel with the struggles and successes of the Boston Red Sox. Dan is also haunted by being constantly beaten by his close friend Bobby, who is a die-hard Yankees fan. As the years pass, Dan’s life improves as the Red Sox “curse” in 1986 eventually gave way to their historic comeback to capture the 2004 ALCS and World Series, thus allowing Dan to land a great job and a nice car. Jake Bern’s actober video, “Ultimate Trailer,” plays off Derek Jeter's “hot potato” relay flip that nailed Jeremy Giambi at home plate in Game Three of the Yankees' 2001 American League Division Series against the Oakland Athletics. The video is a trailer for the fictional upcoming “Potato Man” feature film, which pits Jeter against the Athletics in a winner-takes-all death match of hot potato. Peter Tipold’s actober video “The Right Call” revisits the controversial call at first base in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. The video explains how umpire Don Denkinger actually got the call right, since a Kansas City Royals fan threw an ashtray onto first base, and thus Todd Worrell technically didn’t touch the bag (only the ashtray), and the runner, Jorge Orta, really was safe after all. “The results of this inaugural user-generated film festival of sorts exceeded all expectations,” said Dinn Mann, Executive Vice President, Content, Editor-in-Chief, MLB Advanced Media. “Fans worldwide and celebrities alike embraced this platform and generated unforgettable material about the games and teams they clearly cherish. This was one important step in our continuing development of creative, effective social networking vehicles on MLB.com." Powered by MLB.com in partnership with social media solution provider Reality Digital™, actober.com provided fans unprecedented access to the largest online archive of MLB footage in the world. The actober.com concept was created by McCann-Erickson. Fans chose from more than 60 clips of historical postseason baseball footage, and, combined with their own experiences, insight and creativity, created short films on the subject of postseason baseball. Since its launch at the All-Star Game in July, actober.com has received more than three million page views. Several celebrities created their own actober.com moments, including James Caan, Jeff Probst, Larry Miller, Ellen Pompeo and TBS broadcaster Chip Caray. |
