August 21, 2008 - The Asian Long Horned Beetle has been found in the Worcester. The state has put a watch out for the bug in Boylston, West Boylston, Holden and Shrewsbury to help stop the spread. This destructive beetle is an invasive bug that is thought to hitched rides from China on pallets. The Beetle is thought to have been in the area of Worcester for five years now before detection. There is a quarantine on trees within a certain mileage of the host trees where the beetle has been detected. The Beetle invests a tree and riddles it with what looks like bullet holes and eating the sapwood beneath the bark leaving furrows. For more information click here for the fact sheet. The page will give you a lot of information on the beetle and its stages, look alikes and host trees. Photos of the insect and what to look for and a reporting page if you locate the beetle.

Annie Leavitt's Memorial Service set

Good Morning Friends,

Thank you so much for all of your well wishes and support. This has a difficult and trying time for our family, but it has certainly been made easier by all of your support. I have been deeply touched by all of the stories you all have shared with me. You see, I have always known how completely cool my mom was, but hearing the stories from all of you has really deepened my understanding of the magnificent impact she has had on the world. THANK YOU

We have finalize service arrangements. A memorial service will be held Monday morning, August 25^th, at 11AM at Saint Mark’s Church in Southborough. The service will be followed by a reception at the parish hall directly across from the church. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Everyone who knew Mom, undoubtedly knew her passion for flowers. Her garden is spectacular and she could name virtually every flower she came across, both by common name and scientific. Knowing this passion, I can imagine that many of you may wish to send flowers as an offering of condolence for her loss. Though we would love to see and smell those flowers, we gratefully request something a little different. In lieu of flowers please consider donation to either one of these organization that were near and dear to Mom’s heart.

The Breakneck Hill Cow Fund
P.O. Box 343
Southborough, MA 01772

www.southborobelties.org/donate/donate.html

This fund helps maintain and preserve a herd of Belted Galloway Cows in Southborough. Mom was instrumental in orchestrating the purchase and continued maintenance of the herd. She loved the cows and their gentle eyes and wanted to make sure that in this world of subdivisions and office parks, generations to come would have the opportunity to see a farm and share in the experience.

Steppin for Stephie is a team that walks each year to raise money to help find a cure for PKD. This fund is important to Mom because both she and her Granddaughter (my daughter) Stephanie have the disease. Currently there is no cure and there are very few treatment options available

for Polycystic Kidney Disease. Over the past two years mom raise thousands and thousands of dollars on behalf of her granddaughter via Team Steppin for Stephie to help change that.

Donations in Annie’s name to either of these organizations would be appreciated.

Thank you

Love,

Daphne (Leavitt) Phalon

Ann (Dando) Leavitt
Ann (Dando) Leavitt, 76, of Southborough died peacefully at her home on Tuesday, August 19, 2008, surrounded by her family. She suffered from pancreatic cancer for years. Despite that she was determined to take members of her family to England to see and enjoy London and the countryside. She fulfilled that dream this past July. Born in Dedham, Anne was the daughter of the late Eleanor (Ekberg) and Thomas Dando. She moved to Southborough in the mid 30's and was a 1950 graduate of the former Peter's High School in Southborough. She was also a graduate of Radcliffe College, class of 1954. After college she married her husband, Don, in September of 1954 and they had four children. While raising her family she was a teacher at the former Rocky Knoll and Plymouth House Church Nursery Schools before being hired by Fay School in 1970 as a substitute teacher. After that assignment she stayed on at Fay teaching at various levels, (especially physical science to the 'hoodlums', her affectionate term for the students in the 8th grade) and becoming head of the science dept. She retired from Fay in 2003 after 33 years of dedication. Ann was always eager to 'be involved' spending time one summer on an Earthwatch expedition to Ireland to determine the quality and quantity of their upland peat bogs. Another summer she went to China with other US educators to understand their educational system. She also attended a NASA-sponsored symposium on the Hubble space telescope and other sessions on nuclear energy. She loved to travel with her husband, visiting parts of the US, Western Europe, Canada, Greece, New Zealand and Iceland. Ann was devoted to St. Mark's Church in quiet ways, such as endowing the choir room, named for her mother; supplying plants given to parishioners each month as their birthdays occurred; and working with the group that created needlepoint cushions for the new kneelers. Her interest in nature and deep love for Southborough led Ann to join the town's Conservation Commission making on-site visits, conferring with the many people needed to establish rules that met both town and state regulations while satisfying the property owner. Due to health reasons, she retired this spring from the commission. Ann was instrumental in the town acquiring the Breakneck Hill orchard and pastureland. She rejoiced in the creation of the Breakneck Hill Cow Fund so the herd of Belted Galloway cows would remain on the property. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Donald Leavitt; her children, Timothy Leavitt of Northborough; Molly Leavitt and Daphne Phalon, both of Southborough, and John Leavitt of Pittsburgh; a sister Eleanor Bushman of Hopkinton; 5 grandchildren, Christopher Leavitt, Katelyn & Stephanie Kalinowski, Thomas & Harry Leavitt. There are no visiting hours A memorial service will be held Monday, August 25, at 11 AM at St. Mark's Church 27 Main St. Southborough. Her ashes will be buried in the church garden. In lieu of flowers expressions of sympathy may be sent in her memory to Breakneck Hill Cow Fund, Box 343, Southborough, MA 01772. www.southborobelties.org org). Arrangements are under the direction of the Morris Funeral Home, 40 Main St, Southborough. www.morrisfuneralparlor.com

Not All Photos are Glamorous

August 21, 2008 - I took a walk along the Reservoir trail in Southborough yesterday. I wish I'd carried a plastic bag with me. The rock outcropping and trail was loaded with trash, bottles, fishing paraphernalia, cups, snack papers etc. The beauty that lies within Southborough trail system can only stay that way if people pick up after themselves. It is easier to carry trash out than in due to it being lighter. Many parks around the nation and world have a "carry in/carry out" policy. It is the responsibility of all of us to keep our environment clean for us and future generations.

A Glimpse of the Past

(Neal Aspesi sits in retired Southborough Engine 25 co -owned with his brother Pete)

August 20, 2008 - by Linda Hubley - Old Southborough Engine 25 saw a lot of action in Southborough before it was eventually replaced by the current Engine 21. During the service to the town Engine 25 and it’s firefighters would go to the State Lumber fire in Framingham and Holliston, MA, the Worcester State Hospital Fire, and the great 1973 Chelsea Fire where the Engine pumped water for several hours to help stem the spread of the fire.

The truck was in service until 1997 when it was sold under sealed bid to a resident and firefighter of Danvers, MA. He recently sold it to two brothers, Neal and Peter Aspesi. Peter started with the Southborough Fire Department in 1983 and spent several years as a call firefighter with the department. His brother Neal joined the Southborough Fire Department around 1990 and is currently the Fire Departments coordinator for emergency management, CERT and disaster preparedness. Since it’s purchase Engine 25 had sat in the back parking lot of the Southborough Police and Fire Department until they were asked to move it in a town clean up effort of the parking lot. Peter tells me that Engine 25 will be taken to the Dennis Fire Department Headquarters where the truck will be worked on and restored to its former glory.

This was the first fire truck that several current and former firefighters that have left Southborough for work in other towns served on. The truck was also used for former Southborough Fire Chief Brock’s funeral. According to Peter, Engine 25 may also have had the last rides for former Southborough Fire Chief John Boland, Frank Aspinwall and Lt. George Mooney Sr.

Southborough Fire Chief John Mauro added the following information to Engine 25. Engine 25 is a 1968 Maxim Motors 1,000 GPM two-stage pumper, which carries 500 gallons of water. It was in service to the Town of Southborough until 1997, when it was replaced by the current Engine 21 (1997 HME/Central States). Sealed bids were received for the sale of Engine 25 once Engine 21 was delivered– the highest bidder was a Danvers resident and firefighter. He owned the truck until recently, selling it to a Southborough Firefighter and his brother.

Engine 25 responded to many large and notable fires in Southborough and surrounding communities (through the Mutual Aid pact), including the Great Chelsea Fire in 1973, where it pumped water for several hours assisting in cutting off the fire from spreading further.

Engine 25 is an open cab design, which was great for visibility when arriving at the scene of a fire, but was terrible to firefighters in the New England climate. In order to ensure good visibility, the windshields are equipped with wipers on both the outside and inside of the truck as rain and spray would coat both sides of the windows. Other than the inconvenience of the weather, it was my all-time favorite engine in the Department.

The Iron Workers Local #7 dropped the two games losing the first 18 to 3 and lost the 2nd game 15 to 6. The Local #7 offense was led by Bob Clifford and Bob Maquire both going 4 for 6 and Mike Otenti 4 for 7. Mgr Steve Goldstein says we really missed the 5 players as we just couldn't generate any offense.
