WILMINGTON - One community, one book; Wilmington Reads is back for 2007.

Each year, through nominations and then a town-wide vote, a single book is chosen for the entire community to enjoy as part of Wilmington Memorial Library's Wilmington Reads program. The residents of Wilmington chose Richard Russo's Pulitzer Prize winning

re ftdis-for 2004, and Pete BudlrYSttow' , i August for 2005.

This year's selection is Before You Know Undnesa by Chris Bohjalian, which tells the

of a terrible mistake that leads to a life- I tragedy.

As the publisher describes. Tor ten summers, eSeton family - all three generations - met at

• country home in New Hampshire, to spend i week together playing tennis, badminton, and

and savoring gin and tonics on the wrap- around porch to celebrate the end of the season. In the eleventh summer, everything changed. A hunting rifle with a single cartridge left in the chamber wound up in exactly the wrong hands at exactly the wrong time, and lead to a night- marish accident that put to the test the values that unite the family - and the convictions that just may pull it apart. /

"Rich with unforgettable characters, Before You Know Kindness is first and foremost a fam- ily saga. It's the tale of three generations of

women - and the dysfunctional men in their lives - and the

strange and unex-

pected places where we find love."

As it was for the last years, the program is a huge hit.

NEW FDIC RULES

Ai retirement accounts have been prow inj! over the years, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has now increased rts protection for selt-clirei led plans held at banks. This includes not only traditional and Roll) IRAs but also SEPs (sim- plified employee pension plans), "457" deterred compensation plans. Keogh plan accounts and defined-contribuiion plans like 401 (k)s. What constitutes a self-direct- ed account is that the owner, not' the plan administrator, determines how funds will be invested.

I nder ilie new FDIC rules, an individual's deposits in any of these kinds of accounts are added together and will be insured up to a $250,000 limit. This is different from regular FDIC insurance of ordinary accounts in which each account is insured individually lor $100,000. Inn depositors can increase their protection by open- ing accounts under various trust arrangements (for each child, for instance i or joint accounts.

Danversbank branches help restock local food pantry shelves

Danversbank is pleased to report that $3,000.00 worth of food items collected across the Branch network for local Food Pantries was donated on Friday February 2. During the month of January the bank reached out to customers and the com- munity at large requesting that non-perishable food items be dropped off at any one of their Branch offices. This effort was designed to remedy the low inventory of food items and help restock the various local Food Pantries following a busy Holiday Season.

Several of the Danversbank locations received as much as $500.00 worth of food donations.

The Wilmington Branch collect- ed upwards of $200.00 in food items including a bag full of groceries an 81-year-old gentle- man purchased for the collec- tion while doing his own gro- cery shopping. "The response and generosity was so over- whelming that we have decided to make this Food Pantry Drive an annual event," said Vice President of Retail Banking Judy Vail. "As our bank Core Values state: Be an asset to the community." In the future, the Danversbank Branch Food Pantry Drive to restock the local pantry shelves will take place once a year during the month of April starting in 2008.

Letters to %f/l the editor

Let the people vote Dear Editor, In last week's "Letters to the

editor" Mr. Edward H. Jones is quoted saying that he agrees with his friend's opin- ion that "Miceli is letting his Catholic upbringing get in the way of common sense." But common sense is exactly what Jim Miceli demonstrated when he voted to "let the peo- ple vote" on the Marriage Amendment. He heard the people of Massachusetts speak when OWBF 170,000 of them signed a vautfly present- ed initiative gathered in just 2 months time stating that they wanted to vote on this amend- ment. Miceli's vote does not exclude anyone. All registered voters in Wilmington and Tewksbury can vote regard- less of race, creed or gender. His vote was all-inclusive (one

definition of the word catholic).

His vote also expressed his belief in the integrity of his constituent's ability to vote on this important issue. Our rep- resentatives and senators were elected by the people to represent all the people and Rep. Miceli did exactly that. That's common sense.

We should be thanking Rep. Jim Miceli for his vote of con- fidence in us all. Then we should call Sen. Bruce Tarr and demand that he do the same. That is the common sense thing to do since that is what Sen. Tarr was elected to do...to be all-inclusive in rep- resenting his constituents.

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!! Sincerely,

Jane M. Finn Wilmington

Definition of marriage Dear Editor. I am grateful to

Representative Miceli and the others who, too slowly, finally let go of their power within the State House and did the decent and responsible thing by mov- ing the vote on the definition of marriage, and the right of the people to express their view, to the ballot box.

It Ls not a prejudice or intol- erance for many of us. It is a strong belief about the dis- tinctions between homosexual- ity and heterosexuality.

What the funeral director did in refusing to put a loved one's name in an obituary, as men- tioned in a letter to the editor in last week's Town Crier, was

wrong and judgmental about a situation that needed to be treated with honor and respect.

Wilmington is a place of tol- erance, understanding and compassion. I want the oppor- tunity to vote my opinion that a marriage is not a union of a man and man nor woman and woman. A marriage is the union of a man and a woman.

I am sorry that our politi- cians played it badly to avoid the stresses and strains of a public debate. I am sorry that homosexuals quickly judge my opinion as hatred and preju- dice. It is not. It's a belief.

Sincerely, Ann L. Yurek

Also an Army Veteran Dear Editor, Having read Mr. Jones' let-

ter. I feel that some things need to be addressed. I am sorry that Mr. Jones' partner has passed away. I am also sony that the funeral director treated him the way he did, but maybe Mr. Jones should have gone to a different funer- al parlor.

I am also an army veteran and I am very ptt«d of what I served for. One of the things of being in the service Ls to help preserve our rights to vote under a democracy and one of those rights is the right to vote. I didn't serve for giving the minority the right to tell the majority what to do.

If I am not mistaken, the court said that this issue (of

gay marriage) is a legislative matter and should be taken care of by them and not the courts. The voters -170,000 strong -signed an initiative petition for the right to vote on gay marriage. Mr. Miceli Ls doing the will of the signers of the petition by moving for this vote in the legislature.

I am proud to have Mr. Miceli represent me in the state house.

Mr. Jones, let the people vote on this matter and stop taking out your sadness on Mr. Miceli. He is doing the job that the voters of Wilmington and Tewksbury have asked him to do.

Sincerely, John K. Murphy

A great concert, bad behavior

Dear Editor, I recently attended a fabu-

lous concert sponsored by the Wilmington Educational Foundation.

The group was called "Ball in the House". I'm writing this as a parent of two Wilmington School children.'

The behavior of the children at this concert was absolutely horrifying. You know who you are!

I could not believe my eyes when I had to watch a ton of children run recklessly around the gym while some of us tried in vein to not only watch these talented young men, but also listen. I had a hard time hear- ing them with all the veiling and confusion created by

.these children. We as a society i v.me of you) have forgotten ■r rr:vrr learned basic rnan- •ners and liave let your chil-

. Jdren slip into an abyss of bad •

behavior. Basic manner such as sitting quietly, listening, and respect for others have disappeared. Oh my God. I hope that if "Ball in the House" ever decides to come back, we who spend our hard earned money on tickets will see better behavior from the school children (some of them) of Wilmington.

We are seeing a lot of changes in our world, our env- iornment, our society and our children's behavior. None of them good.

Parents, its time to be par- ents, again. Can you imagine our world if these children turn into adults with bad behavior.

Name witheld by request P.S. I'm going to e-mail "Ball

in the House" an apologize for all of you....and maybe you should apologize, too

Betsy's Best Bets by Betsy Woods McGtffff

Diner Finder Too few people understand a really good sandwich. (James Beard)

When my eyes open in the morning, my first thought is food. I admit it, I live to eat. But not just anything is okay - fresh, simple, home-cooked or handmade, light, nutritious and delicious will do. I can appre- ciate a gourmet meal at an expensive upscale restaurant as well as the next person but for everyday meals, not cooked at home, I crave "comfort food." How about chicken pie, creamy fish chowder, pot roast, turkey dinners, baked maca- roni ... you get the idea. Can you tell me the last time you saw any of "that" on a menu at any of the popular chain restaurants that have taken over the landscape? I miss the Hazelwood in Wakefield, the Kernwood in Lynnfield, the Greenridge Turkey Farm in Nashua - I even miss Howard Johnson's. So, you ask, how have I satisfied my craving for food cooked from scratch in a manmade jungle of grab, gob- ble, guzzle, gulp and go?

At the intersection of Route 133 and the Old Route 1 in Rowley, sits the Agawam Diner, an authentic, eye-catching sil- ver 1954 Federo dining car. The big, boxy, secure looking Agawam sign rests solidly on top of the roof, above the front entrance, as if to say "I am." Not much has changed at the Agawam over the many years (decades!) that I've been stop- ping by on my way to Plum Island or Newburyport or Crane's Beach. The sleek stainless steel exterior, the classic design, the nostalgia make it impossible to keep dri- ving once the silvery oasis-like

light pops into sight. Close to the road, the front

parking spots are always taken. The usual line out the door can be seen as you pull up, as well as a crowded entryway. In win- ter a red tarp covers the stairs, giving some protection from the weather. Last week, on one of the coldest days of this win- ter, people waited outside, hunched and shivering.

There are other good restau- rants all along the scenic old road and, of course, pic- turesque Newburyport has everything from fast food to fine dining. But the Agawam has a special appeal for me*. I love what this well-established, historic, independent diner rep- resents. Somewhere near Middleton on Route 62 the day- dream begins, back to a time when taking a drive to the North Shore, usually to Salisbury or Plum Island, was a big day. I imagine those beach wagons packed up with kids and big lunches, headed for a day of play, of sun and fun, when life was ... Oh, So Simple. Many of them stopped at the Agawam - true Americana.

A friend of mine, every so often, calls and all he says is, "What about the Agawam today?" He has his big impor- tant job, he's prosperous, you could say he's a yuppie. But he admits to me that he would turn back the clock in a heart- beat, "give it all up" as he puts it, to return to a time when you could make a deal on a hand- shake. For us, sitting in the Agawam, looking out through the big sunny windows, ponder-

ing the problems of the planet, is the closest we come to reliv- ing the longing.

No one will take your name - look around and remember who was waiting before you. In other words, first come, first served, seat yourself. Don't wait until your table is cleared. Sit. That gets a few more bod- ies out of the way. None of the waitresses writes anything down! They just look at you while you're ordering and nod ... and nod. And you better know what you want, this is a no-bull, busy place.

Breakfast is served all day long, which' means from 5 am to 11 pm, on the weekends until 1 am. Lunch and dinner kick-in around mid-day.

Oatmeal, omelets, eggs, steak, sausages, sandwiches and sides, fries and pies - hash or ham, Bam - french toast, pancakes and muffins, you ain't seen nothin' - cold sandwich, hot sandwich, club sandwich, cold plate, hot plate, dinner plate - worth the wait - and there's more behind the kitchen door.

Sure, the food is really good but a big part of my attraction to the Agawam is the mood. Without saying it, we're all part of the same club - sick of the phony, the trendy and the monotonous. It's a kind of "good old days" spell that per- meates the atmosphere - pol- ished chrome, rosy pink blinds, juke box, long counter lined with glass covered dishes of danish, brownies, turnovers, cookies and squares. Sitting at the counter watching the hus- tle-bustle, the in-and-out

rhythm of the busy kitchen feels like a catchy song going around in your head. A neigh- borhood block party, only inside, a general feeling of belonging, even if you don't know anyone, the timelessneis, is like a hook that pulls the past into the present.

Another part of the lure toward the Agawam is tpe drive Most of us do more than enough speeding around with our checklist - every: day resembling a fire drill. Believe It or not there was a;time, about a million years; ago, when the term "pleasure drive" was part of the vocabulary, also called "the Sunday drive." Avoiding any road called an Interstate, a Turnpike, , a Freeway or a Parkway; can automatically turn your trip into a "pleasure drive" For miles and miles, from the inter- section of Route 62 to the end, Route 1 is a panorama of high hills and deep valleys outlined by century old fieldstone walls, meadows and marshlands, farms, farm stands and garden centers. Here and there ybu might spot a candy store, an ice cream stand, a funky littl-j jew- elry shop, a bait shack, |orj a bakery or country store ;Take a few minutes to pull over, put- ter and poke around, slowdown your pace, life is not a rape. -If you kill enough time, when you reach the Agawam, you'll be In the right state of mind to stand in that line with the last of our kind, those who don't whine.;

The Family Therapist by Anthony Ferrqrti ——i i

What happened to our love? Separation and divorce seem

to come from no where. How could we lose that beautiful love and caring bond? What happened to our love?

There are always reasons why people drift apart. Sadly, most individuals don't know why. People are creatures of habits that are difficult to change. While courting and romancing, we often don't see the true per- son. We are sometimes too con- tent to find out. Why destroy these beautiful moments? As the excitement and infatuation diminish, the real person can come forward. Without infatua- tion clouding our vision, we return to old ways of behaving. The strength of infatuation can overlook imperfections, but discontent has no trouble find- ing them. Then eyes open to the negative side of your lover

We can avoid a lot of heartaches by being honest at the beginning. Your sensitive and weak areas should be shared before making a com- mitment. It's important to know your partner will accept you, if he knew you completely. True love will accept you with all your strengths and weak- nesses. If your negative side is not shared, your partner is not committed to the whole person. There is a peace of mind when we know we have nothing to

hide and are completely accepted.

We still have to work on keep- ing the love flowing. Words such as: "I love you. You are so beautiful. How did I ever exist without you?" They will help to secure closeness. Years can pass without hearing these words. If confronted with "Why don't you express your love for me?" The usual response is "Of course I still love you." Silence can only cause doubt and fear about your relationship.

Keeping the love and the inti- macy nourished ensures a con- tinued good marriage or rela- tionship. It takes a lot of work and understanding to make marriage work. Things can't be taken for granted. Be aware of discontent and the drifting apart. There are always rea- sons why couples lose interest in each other. Too often they don't have a clue why. Some of us wait too long. Others are in denial that their love for each other has changed. Then there are those fortunate couples with personalities that are meant for each other. Their tendency is to keep giving to each other. The more they give the more gratified they are.

We are not all that fortunate. As soon as most couples become comfortable with each

other, they usually go back to their unguarded selves. Living together helps them to think they have ultimate form of acceptance and security. Being aware of what they say or do becomes less important. They forget the proper words and deeds that created and fed their love

Every day verbal venom can infect a spouse's love. "Can't you do anything right? I wish you could cook something dif- ferent for a change Why don't you answer me when I call you?" The lack of praise and acceptance can be harmful. If you want to break up a healthy relationship: 1. Never praise the many positive things your partner does. 2. Wait until something negative happens to become verbal and involved. 3. If your partner has different tastes, or thinks differently, don't accept it. 4. Don't worry about his or her dignity and individuality. 5. Minor dis- agreements should not be dealt with until they accumulate and grow into a crisis situation.

Most couples don't realize that these human interactions affect their relationship. These nega- tive behaviors can become an everyday ritual. It might take years to completely lose their love This could be one reason couples don't realize what is happening. It could also-give couples the opportunity to cor- rect their problem, if someoae brings it to their attention. ',

Those who have a good sex life have a better chance of sta- bility. The expectation: and closeness helps to alleviate dis- satisfaction and indifference. They are more conscious pf what they say or do. They; real- ize their intimacy could be affected.

To insure success, take .noth- ing for granted, keep lines of communication open, . and praise your partner and. tell them you love them. Don't become complacent about your relationship.

Quick Health Tips by Dr. Leslee Quick

Menopause here's a reason it's enough

of in issue to have a play with its-name as the title. It's not a paiisc at all, if so it would return after a hiatus, of sorts. N(f, menopause signifies the end of an era. And that ending can be hellish for some women aft rather uneventful for oth- erj

Menopause, simply put, is the cessation of menstruation. It culminates from the lack of ovarian function and subse- quent curtailment of ovarian hormone secretion, most notably estrogen. It is a natur- al part of aging. As estrogen levels drop, the monthly cycle of menstrual periods decreases and eventually ends. This usu- ally happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier.

Kstrogen plays a key role in shaping the female body and preparing it for the uniquely female functions such as preg- nancy. Together with proges- terone, another female hor- mone, estrogen regulates the changes that occur with each menstruation and prepares the uterus for pregnancy. Prior to menopause, more than 90% of the estrogen in a woman's body is made by the ovaries. In addi- tion, some other organs and fat cells make small amounts of estrogen. Therefore, women do continue to produce small amounts of the hormone even after menopause sets in.

Estrogen is like the guy you broke up with because you were having a bad hair day - proba- bly due to P.M.S. - only to regret it later. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. Other important benefits of estrogen become apparent when hormonal levels decline after menopause. Estrogen stimulates skeletal growth and helps maintain healthy bones. It also helps protect the heart anS blood vessels by increasing "gjod" cholesterol (HDL or hifh-density lipoprotein) and lowering "bad" cholesterol (l|)L or low-density lipopro- tei$)). Estrogen may also affect

%

a woman's sexual desire. Some of the primary symp-

toms of menopause include: vasomotor changes such as hot flashes, palpitations, sponta- neous sweating, panic attacks and the inability to sleep; psy- chological changes such as anxiety, mood swings, depres- sion, poor memory and lack of concentration; urogenital changes such as frequent uri- nation and sexual organ atro- phy; osteoporosis; and cardio- vascular disease symptoms.

So what are the choices for the poor woman experiencing all this excitement at one time? The typical medical treatment for the symptoms of menopause includes hormone replacement therapy, common- ly known as HRT. This therapy introduces levels of estrogen into the body to help reduce the symptoms associated with menopause. Some popular brand names of HRT have included Premarin, Prempro and other aptly named drugs.

Although menopause symp- toms have been shown to decrease with use, these drugs have also been shown to increase the chances of devel- oping hormone-dependent can- cers, stroke and heart disease. Due to these possible side effects, medical doctors are increasingly prescribing such drugs for short-term use in only the most severe cases. In addition, although too early to tell with scientific certainty, preliminary research has shown that as women are turn- ing away from hormone replacement therapies, a con- current decline has been seen in the rate of breast cancer in this country.

Some natural alternatives to alleviate the symptoms of menopause include black cohosh, an herb that has been shown to help reduce hot flash- es. Conclusive evidence is divided as to the efficacy of its effects. However, my patients have generally given the herb the thumb's up in many men- strual issues, including

menopause. Helpful or not, what's great about taking such an herb is that, unlike the phar- maceutical version, black cohosh lacks side effects. So why not try it first?

Another alternative I may suggest is Wild Yam complex, whose major component is Wild Yam root, but also includes some Korean Ginseng, sage, Shatavari root and St. John's wort.

With these herbal remedies it is important to remember that noticeable changes usually take about five weeks or so and everyone responds differently.

While taking these herbal remedies it is important to remember to take a good female-specific, general sup- port supplement. A separate calcium supplement is also important during this time, as the decrease in hormones inversely increases bone loss. Calcium is best taken spread it out during the day - and not in one dose - at no more than 500 mg at a time.

Also, do not think of products such as Turns in your search of a good calcium source. Turns has the worst source of calci- um, called calcium carbonate. You might as well lick a chalk- board, because that is about the same level ol quality of cal- cium you're getting. Although this comparison may be giving chalk too little credit.

PYom a chiropractic stand- point, many menopausal women seek treatment for the side effects that hormonal changes cause the body, includ- ing headaches, weight gain and resultant body aches. These people often find relief from related symptoms with chiro- practic care because the ner- vous tension caused by the bod- ily changes is released with adjustments. Stress on the body creates subluxations and incurs a cycle that only pro- motes further stress on the body.

Controlling the symptoms of menopause begins by control- ling your environment - your chemical surroundings. This includes chemicals you place in and on your body: the food you eat, makeup, hairspray, and etcetera. Decreasing the harmful chemicals in your environment will also keep you healthier to battle such changes that mark such impor- tant milestones in your life. Also, eating diets rich in veg- etables and exercising regular- ly not only has proven anecdo- tally to decrease weight and the likelihood of osteoporosis, but they also enable you to better adapt to the other changes your body is making, and therefore, less likely to suffer from its symptoms.

Here's to your health...natu- rally.

Dear friends, Thank you so much for your

overwhelming generosity. The tremendous outpouring of gifts was a great way to show all of our Soldiers just how much support we have from home. There were so many boxes that came from everywhere that every Soldier got at least one box, and we did a huge Yankee Swap. I've included a photo of the table that we set up with all of the boxes. The Soldiers all filed in, one by one, from low- est to highest rank, to pick their own box. We were able to take a little break from fixing trucks and to enjoy Christmas. A few days after Christmas, we even got some snow.

There were enough goodies to put a smile on everyone's face, and enough personal hygiene products to last the rest of our one year deployment here in Iraq.

Our platoon of mechanics

works incredibly hard to the "Cacti" Infantry B» going. We work non-stoijj seven days a week, which tariff so many other holidays, littj Thanksgiving, into just anotijp*; er day. Holidays are alwayS tough being without family, but your generosity made this holjj-1 day a little easier.

All of the letters and cards that came in are posted on the' wall, and the Soldiers all see"? and read them whenever theyfj pass by. We are all sincerely d grateful for your thoughts ana* prayers and look forward tor returning home, in a few months.

dence at The Pack, an American style sports bar in the heart of Prague owned by a man named Max from Chicago. As we neared the bar, a slew of Englishmen were standing outside the door yelling that the American foot- ball game was cancelled, but we plowed through regardless. Nothing was aborting this mis- sion. It had been three weeks since anyone had seen an English speaking television show, let alone one of, if not the biggest, American sporting event of the year. I walked past loud televisions glowing with some important soccer match that I didn't bother to notice because I was so excited for Buffalo wings and American broadcasting that I could hard- ly think straight. Max directed us to the basement where with a lone television, a defective hanging lamp, and framed pic- tures of aged Sports Illustrated covers, 25 American college students and two guys from Seattle sat and waited.

Having never watched a major American event any- where but America, I was naive enough to think it would be the regular CBS broadcast. As the clock ticked past mid- night and pre-game coverage was nowhere to be seen, I began to worry. Then out of nowhere, the soccer game shut off and across the screen came Sky Sports, a British broad- casting company that shows major sporting events around the world. No one in the room

knew how to react. Awkward glances were exchanged between friends and strangers and questions were popping up everywhere: Where was CBS? Where was Dan Marino? And more importantly, would there be any commercials? Twenty- five American college students and two guys from Seattle sat, mouths gaping, Buffalo wings in hand, staring at the British based broadcast.

As much as I enjoyed being out with my friends and watch- ing the Super Bowl in the wee hours of the morning, some- thing was off. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms still announced the game, but instead of Dan Marino we had Don Johnson to go with the Miami theme and the only commercials we saw were advertisements for a British car that looked exactly like the Chrysler Pacifica.

Sports bars in the United' States encourage people to sit around for a few hours while only ordering enough food for one out of four game hours. In the Czech Republic, the house expects you to order food and drink consistently the whole time you occupy one space and our Czech waitress let us know that by yelling at each table that we were, "not in the US!" It was more humbling than anything because while we did- n't understand the Czech men- tality of a constant flow of food to watch a game and why we couldn't just stay and watch, the Czech's didn't understand the American mentality when

Troop 136 has openings for boys WILMINGTON - After two

Scouts attained Eagle this sum- mer, Troop 136 is looking to expand its roster with boys looking for adventure while gaining their own leadership skills that are sure to take them far in the world.

Scouts can expect to learn outdoor skills among several invaluable life lessons that can be taken over into the academ- ic and professional world.

In its 36 year history, scouts in Troop 136 have traveled to the Scouting Adventure Base in the

Florida Keys and has hiked the entire 270-mile Long Trail in Vermont - relax, not all at once.

These trips have become part of the troop's deep-rooted tradi- tion which allows the boys to determine goals and destina- tions. Developing their leader-

Billy Tamboli of Tewksbury was happy to finally do some sledding this winter. Friday night's storm brought just enough snow to sufficiently cover the ground.

ship skills, scouts determine the troop's direction while set- ting its own agenda to achieve success. Jerry Bishop, a 14-year-old

scout in the troop, said he's had the most fun with this troop during its monthly campouts as well as the occasional adven- ture activities like white-water rafting and rappelling. Although the troop has never been a large one, the close-knit group of scouts has allowed the troop to take on greater obsta- cles.

"I want to become an Eagle Scout," Bishop said. "We're smaller and we focus on getting more done." The Eagle rank - the highest

rank in Scouting - has been rec- ognized by employers, college admissions and military recruiters as one of the major accomplishments a young man can have on his resume apply- ing for any job, school or schol- arship.

The opening of the Henry Wilson Sargent exhibit drew 40 people to the Harnden Tavern on Sunday afternoon, including people who had known him. Sargent worked primarily as a bicycle mechanic, but also made interesting tools, whirligigs, model boats and a model of the Wilmington Congregational Church. The exhibit has generated interest, and other peo- ple have come forward with items of Sargent's. Bob Bertwell (above) once rode in the 1933 Willys coupe, shown in the picture he is holding. Duddy Lord has reported that the car has been traced to Georgia, North Carolina and five years ago it returned to Massachusetts! The hunt goes on!

Tewksbury Library Notes by Elisabeth DesMarais

Showing True Colors TEWKSBURY - The public

library is once again showings its true colors — red, white and blue, that is. An easel in the main lobby holds a letter of appreciation accompanied by photos, from the Army platoon that the library had "adopted" for Christmas.

During October and November, the spot that now holds the display was the loca- tion of a pre-season Christmas tree, decorated in red, white and blue and accompanied by a wish-list from the soldiers. The response was overwhelming. Library patrons and other resi- dents picked up the wish-list and returned an enormous amount of items, including

more than a thousand pencils and pens, ten thousand Q tips, 125 toothbrushes, a hundred tubes of toothpaste, 150 bars of soap, and five dozen bottles of shampoo, among hundreds of other items.

In addition to personal hygiene products, our generous donors brought in jig-saw puz- zles, books of suduko puzzles and crossword puzzles, newly released DVDs, Nerf footballs, playing cards and more than a hundred pounds of candy and other snacks.

Veterans' Agent Jim Williams and the Veterans Council helped spread word of the cam- paign and helped with some of the shipping costs. Linda

Brabant and Carol Hazel from the Senior Center led the seniors in packing supplies for shipping.

The platoon's thank-you letter refers to photos which are included on the display current- ly in the library lobby.

A number of participants in the drive commented that peo- ple want to help but don't always know how. The Library provided a way to help, and the local response was wonderful. As the letter attests, the sol- diers see in a tangible way the way that Americans support the troops.

Stop by the library during the month of February to view the photos from Iraq.

TEWKSBURY - Effective January 22, 2007, the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium introduced a new way for library patrons to get the DVDs that they request more quickly. For the first six months after purchase, most new-release feature films and television shows on DVD will no longer be put in transit and sent to another library via the Inter-Library Loan system. This will allow patrons to get access to the DVDs that they request faster then before.

Here are some facts about what this change means for you:

1. DVD's will no longer spend weeks traveling from library to library filling requests, so there will be more new movies on the shelf at your local library.

2. You can make requests by going to www.tewksburypl.org. If we do not own a particular

DVD, you can still request it but you must pick it up at the library that owns it. We try to buy new releases quickly,'so you may never need to look elsewhere. Don't forget you can always suggest items for purchase.

3. This change will apply only to newly purchased DVDs! After 6 months DVDs are transferable between libraries and you can order one from another library and have, it sent here. (The exceptions are Haverhili and Westford. who have never shipped DVDs I.

We are looking forward to this new change that will allow us to serve our patrons better. If you have any questions we encourage you to come in and talk with a librarian.

For more information about library programs, please con- tact the library at 978.640.4490 or check us out on the web at www.tewksburypl.org.

Wilmington housing authorities holds February meeting Lodge HooP Shoot Wtanras The regular monthly meeting

of the Wilmington Housing Authority was held Thursday February 1st in the Deming Way Community Hall. Among the items discussed were changes in the laundry room/ hours, how can tenants get tpeir units repainted, appoint- ment of a Grievance Committee, and how the emer- fmey application procedures

r housing work jThe Authority had received

( unplaints from tenants about 1 eople using the laundry room ( oring the predawn hours, dis- turbing the residents. The beard voted to limit the laundry r Him hours from 7 AM to 10 I M. This will allow an autho- r zed tenant to lock the door at 1) I'M with Authority employ- < ;s opening it back up at 7 AM. {Several tenants asked how

i ley could get the interior of I ieir units repainted, and also i (he standard color could be c Kinged. The Executive 1 irector, Terry Georgopoulos, s aled that the units are nor- i all) painted prior to a new ! (riant moving in The units are : >stri< .1 to .i cream color that i kept in slock at the authority. > Irs G< orgo|M>ulos requested : lat any tenant who needed t ieir unit repainted contact the

office so it could be scheduled. The subject of a three person

Grievance Committee to hear tenant complaints arose. Currently there is only a single person Grievance Officer who is based at another housing authority. Since a formal griev- ance have not been filed in many years that, Grievance Officer has not been to Wilmington. Executive Director Georgopoulos planned to contact that officer to see if she would still be willing to serve.

The final third of the meeting was taken up by a discussion on the application process to become a tenant. Family mem- bers of a recent applicant were unhappy with the Executive Director's finding that the applicant did not qualify as an emergency under Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) guide- lines. While addressing the Board, complaints were made that the applicant had received approval, then it was rescinded, and of the amount of time it took to process an "emergency application". The family also said that an attorney has been retained on the applicant's behalf.

Under DHCD guidelines, to

qualify for emergency housing, an applicant must first qualify for standard housing. A stan- dard application is filled out and information about finances, references, and crim- inal history must be obtained. The applicant may also fill out the application for emergency housing at the same time. Once the standard application is approved, consideration may be given to the emergency application.

The guidelines of what consti- tutes an emergency are very high and only 1-2% of emer- gency applications are approved. An applicant must have been displaced by a natur- al disaster, a fire, an earth- quake, a public improvement project, or a sanity code viola- tion that he has not contributed to. He also must be homeless which is defined as without a place to live or is in a living sit- uation in which there is a sig- nificant, immediate and direct threat to the life or safety of the applicant or a household member which situation would be alleviated by placement in a unit of appropriate unit size; has made reasonable efforts to locate alternative housing; has not caused or substantially con- tributed to the safety-threaten- ing or life threatening situa- tion; and has pursued available ways to prevent or avoid the safety-threatening or life threatening situation by seek- ing assistance through the courts or appropriate adminis- trative or enforcement agen- cies. If the emergency applica- tion is finally approved, the applicant would bypass the nor- mal wait list for housing and be eligible for the next open unit.

"I wish we had an available unit for every person who filed an application with us", said Chairman John Goggin. "But because of the lack of available public housing, tough decisions always need to be made, Within the Wilmington Housing Authority, the Executive Director is the person who receives the application, and confidential information of the person seeking housing, and makes decisions based on exist- ing guidelines. Because of the concern she has for people, it has to be the hardest part of her job."

Because of the confidential nature of the information, the Board itself does not make

those decisions. Under the Open Meeting Law, the board may only assemble in a public meeting. "Having housing applications discussed in a pub- lic meeting would be inappro- priate, as well as a violation of confidentiality laws", said Goggin.

After notification of the denial, the applicant was given 20 days to request another meeting with the Executive Director, the DHCD Counsel Lori McBride, and to bring their own attorney and advo- cate. "This meeting has been agreed to and should happen in the near future", said Goggin.

The Authority is also taking steps to speed up paperwork. "Many factors such as waiting for required information from the applicant or outside entities we cannot control", said Goggin. "But there have been steps already taken to decrease the number of outside distrac- tions that office personnel have told me happen on a daily basis and have impacted their being able to work on tenant issues."

The next scheduled meeting of the Authority is Thursday March 3, 2007 at 10 AM.

the Bank of America at 390 Main Street, cut the long line of waiting patrons, and handed a note to one of the tellers. The note demanded that all of the money be handed over to Welch, and the teller complied. The note did not indicate that Welch was armed, but it did contain a threat.

As the teller handed the money over to the suspect, she observed that he appeared to be intoxicated or under the influence of medication. According to witnesses, Welch then proceeded to stagger out of the front door of the bank.

Police responded to the scene and began interviewing wit- nesses when a call reporting a suspicious package came in from the MBTA. A backpack had been left on the south- bound side of the boarding platform at the Wilmington Center Train Station.

As officers inspected the backpack they observed a white male walking along the tracks in their direction. The individual matched the description of the bank rob-

right bery suspect exactly, down to his attire

The suspect was ordered repeatedly to remove his hands from his pockets, but refused. The officers also observed that the suspect appeared to be impaired. He was quickly wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. Several thousand dollars was found in his pockets.

Further investigation revealed that Welch had had so much money in his pockets that it was overflowing and kept falling out while he wait- ed for his getaway vehicle - the train. He decided to walk from the MBTA platform to Firestone, where he asked for a bag to put his money in. At one point while in Firestone, he was having so much trouble keeping the money in his pock- ets that a woman helped him to pick it up off of the floor. Welch reportedly offered her $100 for her kindness.

Welch is facing charges of unarmed robbery and was arraigned on Wednesday.

Amanda Richards, the winner of the 5th grade Spelling Bee at the North Intermediate School last week, will advance to the next round in Lowell. Andrea and Tom Richards, congratulated their daughter on a job well done.

Words Spoken can't be called back We need to be careful what we choose to say

When angry words are lashed out They will be back to haunt on another day.

Oh we may let it pass or even forget. Whom we have hurt, those words still remain, ■ Memories may fade; even appear to be gone Heart stains will linger, and so will the pain.

We may feel, it needs to be said, We must get it off our mind.

We may feel temporary power Relief from anger we want to find.

Be careful what we say, Bite our lips, and hold our tongue,

When hurting words leave our mouths The damage is already done.

The tongue can we our worst enemy Or it can be our very best friend.

Will our words make love grow Or bring relationships to an end.

We rant, rave, and say painful words, And sometimes we may even feel hate, Feelings may pass, even change but,

I'm sorry spoken, may be too late

The tongue can be very expensive It can cost us everything we hold dear.

It can be a dangerous weapon, Certainly our tongue we need to fear.

Let's choose our words carefully!!

Winchester- In a bold initia- tive that reinforces its commit- ment to patient safety and affil- iated physician practices, Winchester Hospital has announced the allocation of $5 million for the implementation, connectivity and integration of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) infrastructure. Physicians affiliated with the Highland Healthcare Associates Independent Practice Association (IPA), Inc. will begin implementing EMR systems within their practices beginning this spring. The initiative will also include the development of a web-based portal of patient health infor- mation, which will allow physi- cians with appropriate autho- rization to access the EMRs. Winchester Hospital President and CEO Dale Lodge said, "This is a collaborative effort that has already been years in the making. We're pleased to finally be moving forward on such a critical initiative in our commitment to providing award-winning care to the physicians and communities we serve.

"EMRs will automate and streamline clinicians' work- flow," added Highland Healthcare Associates IPA President Michele Crage, MD, "but the primary result will be enabling physicians to commu- nicate and collaborate more

effectively when caring for patients."

EMRs include patients' med- ical history including immu- nizations, medications, aller- gies, laboratory data and radi- ology reports, current medical conditions, vital signs and notes regarding every medical visit. This breadth of informa- tion will improve the overall quality and cost efficiency of patient care by streamlining the administrative processes within physician practices. Patient safety will also be enhanced through an integrat- ed series of checks and bal-

ances which can alert medical personnel to medication aller- gies, interactions, recalls and other potential issues. The sys- tem can additionally generate care-related reports regarding, for example, how many prima ry care physicians order mam- mograms for women over the age of 40, as recommended.

"We're pleased to be a leader in this statewide effort among the medical community to implement a truly integrated EMR," Lodge noted. "The tech- nology will provide lasting ben- efits for both patients and physicians."

1 TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 2007

's official: Jim is in FROM PAGE 1

vtflch represents half of his c|BJ*ent constituency. Miceli dfafis not plan to move his hoine, however, and feels that hjC;can represent the district jtuSt as well from where he is.

"She people throughout the 5t8 District share the values aitl beliefs of the people of T^ksbury and Wilmington," Mfceli said. "My voting record t«0ds to be right in line with t6$ beliefs of the people in the district."

Miceli has already moved to establish organizations in sev- eral towns within the district, ahd he has plans in place to infiltrate the rest.

Miceli has a reputation among his constituents as a legislator who works hard on behalf of his district, and as someone who brings home state dollars.

"Some people may call it 'pork,' but I bring home the bacon," Miceli said. "I've got a strong reputation for bringing state money to my district."

Miceli is not particularly worried about the competition that is sure to line up. According to the rumor mill, he may be facing two candi- dates that he currently serves side-by-side with in Tewksbury. The names of State Representative Barry Finegold and State Senator Sue Tucker, who both represent Tewksbury, are just two of the names being bandied about as possible con-

tenders. According to reports, Finegold has committed him- self and Tucker is considering it.

The political scuttlebutt has a whole field of potential candi- dates "thinking" about run- ning, but Miceli remains skep- tical about most of the names that are currently floating around.

"I've found that people who say they are 'thinking about running,' don't actually run," Miceli said. "I'm not testing any waters, I'm not 'looking into' anything, I'm in it."

One advantage that Miceli feels he has over the vaX majority of the fast-growing field of candidates is that he has served, not only as a legis- lator, but also at the local level. In Wilmington, Miceli served as a selectman for 12 years - including several terms as chairman - and prior to that as a member of the Planning Board for three years. Most of his competition has not served at the local level.

"It is a completely different ballgame at the municipal level, and I know firsthand what it is like," Miceli said.

Miceli's current constituency will be relieved to hear that he will not be giving up his cur- rent seat in order to campaign for Meehan's spot. Because the opening will result from Meehan's resignation, as opposed to the completion of his term, his successor will be

determined in a special elec- tion. Miceli will not have to make a choice of running for one or the other - he will con- tinue to serve Wilmington and Tewksbury even while he seeks election to the 5th Congressional District.

"I'll be in there at the State House working full-time, just like always," Miceli said. "I won't be missing any work."

Once Meehan issues a formal statement, Miceli will go through the exercise of collect- ing 2,000 signatures of regis- tered voters in the 5th Congressional District.

Miceli has been a Massachusetts State Representative since 1977 and represents the towns of Tewksbury and Wilmington. He has been reappointed by the Speaker to the position of Chairman of the House Committee on Personnel and Administration. Chairman Miceli has served as the Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and has served on numerous commit- tees, including the Committee on Education, the Committee on Human Services and Elder Affairs, the Committee on Banks and Banking, and was a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means for 10 years. He was twice a member of the House Committee on Redistricting, and is the former Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Post-Audit and Oversight.

Miceli is currently active in many organizations, including the Tewksbury/Wilmington Lodge of Elks, the Friends of the Harnden Tavern, the Sons of Italy, and the Knights of Columbus.

He is married to Jean Miceli and together they have three children - Hope, James, and Christina - and five grandchil- dren.

February 5th, Wilmington High School was honored by the Department of Education at the State House as one of the 2007 Commonwealth Compass Schools.

Part of the day's scheduled events consisted of a reception

Chairman James Miceli stat- ed that he is proud of Wilmington High School's accomplishment in attaining statewide recognition via the Department of Education's Compass School program.

date Robert Peterson, Gillis added, "Robert Peterson brings a real professionalism to the group."

Peterson originally joined the Committee in 1995 to fin- ish the term of John Gillis, who passed away from cancer with seven months remaining on his term. Peterson was asked and agreed to finish his friend's seven month term. He enjoyed it so much that he ran for election and has served a consecutive three terms since then. He is now seeking his fourth term on the Committee. "It's a great place to go to

school," said Peterson. "It's a well run school with phenom- enal teachers and administra- tors. It's a wonderful environ- ment and Superintendent Charles Lyon is wonderful to work with."

Gillis agreed, "Charles Lyons is one of the best super- intendents around. Probably the top superintendent when it comes to municipal finance. He's good with budgets and seeing where it all goes." Prior to joining the Regional

Vocational Technical School Committee, Peterson served on the Wilmington School Committee for three terms totaling nine years. When asked about the strength he brings to the Committee, Peterson replied, "Working with people is my main strength. I also have a strong background in education, having been a teacher prior to going to law school. I bring an understanding of the bud- geting process based on past experience. I bring a little bit of everything to the role." Chairman James Gillis, who

was previously Wilmington's Athletic Director for 25 years, became involved with the Committee during a time of budget crunching and he felt that he could bring ideas to the table on ways to get things done. Gillis added, "Plus, I wanted to make sure that Wilmington was benefiting from the talents of the stu- dents. The students get involved with projects in the towns that the school serves, and I wanted to make sure that Wilmington was taking

selves. We in state government., ■ will continue to work with local „.' officials to make sure the fund-*:!.' ing is there to help make oUB. >;..-. schools among the best in the. ■ state." Said Chairman Miceli.-.,<v:

Gov. Patrick adds Wilmington to the team

FROM PAGE 1

Jones' background in journal- ism, communications and poli- tics will be an asset in her new role. Having studied at Salem State College and Emerson College, Jones first put her class- room training to work as a polit- ical coordinator in 1995. She spent over a decade as a televi- sion journalist, reporting and anchoring for stations across the country. She has covered numer- ous political races including two presidential primaries in New Hampshire. Her career has taken her around the world, including overseas to Israel last summer where she reported on the war. She most recently left her position as Vice President at Regan Communications to take on her new post within the Patrick administration.

Jones attributes her interest in politics and public service to her father Arthur Jones, who served as Press Secretary for Governor Dukakis and Governor Flynn. He went on to serve as Deputy Press Secretary for President Clinton.

"I like to remember that the last time a democratic governor held the office, a Jones was in the State House," quipped Jones.

After courageously battling leukemia and undergoing a bone marrow transplant, Arthur Jones passed away last October. "I was really close to my dad. Before he died, I talked with him about Deval Patrick the candi- date and the possibilities he could bring to the role of gover- nor," Jones said. "He wanted this for me. The first time I walked up those steps to the State House as an employee in my new role, I felt him right beside me. I feel like I'm carry- ing on his legacy."

Jones continues to devote her- self to causes which were impor- tant to her father. She co-founded the Arthur Jones Memorial Foundation and serves as a board member. The group's mis- sion is to raise awareness about the issue of bone marrow dona- tions, and increase the number of bone marrow donors national- ly, especially within minority groups where the number is dis- proportionately low and critical- ly needed. Among other areas, the newly founded group will educate on the importance of donating and how easy it is to register.

Jones explained, "Our goal is to change the face of the bone mar- row crusade through raising awareness and taking action. This is a way to commemorate my father's service in both his public and private life. He gave so much to others and this is a

way to honor and remember him, and continue to serve the public."

When asked about her own political aspirations, she replied, "My talents lay in communica- tions and being on the support team. I'm the person that people go to when they need communi- cations expertise. I love doing what I do."

"It's something new and chal- lenging for me. and at the same time, it draws upon the skills I honed as a journalist and as VP at Regan Communications. It's a great team we have in place. We have youth and experience, excitement and drive, talent and diversity. After my first week on the job, I found myself pleasant- ly exhausted!"

Sughrue pins down CAL title

Bv JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

NORTH ANDOVER - Already with three tournament championships this season, Wilmington High's Steve Sughrue tasted the thought of another title on Saturday night and very quickly he celebrated his fourth and most important title to date.

Under a minute into the sec- ond period, Sughrue was able to turn his opponent Corey Nault onto his side, before get- ting him on his back and even- tually pinning him. That victo- ry, at the 2:54 mark, gave Sughrue the Cape Ann League wrestling championship at the 103-pound division.

And he's just a sophomore. Sughrue was also awarded as

the wrestler with the quickest pins throughout the tourna- ment, as he won three matches by a combined time of 5:13.

"Stevie's having an exception- al year," said head coach Mike Pimental. "We're hoping that because of his hard work that he gets what he deserves with (upcoming) the post season meets. He's worked very hard in the off-season to prepare himself for where he is."

Sughrue faced all three of his opponents during the season and said that "it's hard because all of them know how I wrestler and they know all of my moves." Apparently, those three wrestlers didn't study long enough as Sughrue quick- ly pinned his first opponent, before doing the same to his second with a nice cradle move which put him into the finals to face Nault.

"I beat (Nault) before but it looked like he's gotten a lot bigger, stronger and better so I knew I couldn't overlook him so I just tried to focus on that the whole time," said Sughrue. "I just watched his other matches to see what he did and

what I could do to defend him." Added weight and defense is

what has turned Sughrue from an above average wrestler to an elite one. Last year he fin- ished with a few wins above .5Q0' but weighed between 12 to 15 pounds less than every wrestler he faced. After a year of "lifting weights" to actually get to 103 pounds, Sughrue also attended a wrestling camp held at Penn State over the summer, which he said has drastically helped him defen- sively, especially in the neutral position.

"The year experience has really helped me but it's the (added) weight (that's been the biggest difference),'' he said. "Last year I was about 15 pounds under weight and I actually weigh 103 (pounds) so

mington High boys bas- team picked up win

numbers 13 and 14 on Friday and Tuesday, respectively, putting the team at 144 with four regular season games left.

Before Tuesday's 65-46 win over Georgetown, there were three teams, Wilmington, Masconomet and North Andover all with one league loss.

Wilmington will host Masconomet on Friday, and then travel to North Andover on Tuesday with hopes of win- ning its sixth straight Cape Ann League title. No team in the history of WHS athletics have ever won six straight league titles.

"We're 14-2 right now with four games to go and like I tell the kids every game from here on out is for a championship," said head coach Jim McCune. "I really believe that between

ing to have to take of this ourselves but we can't overlook Friday night with Masco. They are 9-1 in the league and they have been playing well and we haven't seen them since the first game of the season. That's going to be a battle. It'll be on senior night and we haven't had too much luck with senior night over the years."

On Friday night, Wilmington played a very subpar game and still came away with a 53-34 win over Rockport. Matt Bibeau led the way with 15 points, while, Craig Melillo also played well as he chipped in with eight.

On Tuesday night, Wilmington jumped out to a very quick leads of 16-1 and 24- 5, before Georgetown (10-6) scored a couple of hoops to dose out the half trailing 32-14. The 'Cats had a 16-point lead

; ■• v. • run attrvp-et 47-zt.

with three straight buckets, before the 'Cats again stormed back for an 10-0 run capped off by freshman Michael Murphy's - recently called up from the JV team - steal and lay-up putting the game out of reach at 57-27.

The teams emptied its bench- es in the final eight minutes and Georgetown outscored the 'Cats 19-8 during that span.

Zack Fahey had 12 points, while, John Olivere and Greg Stewart ended with 11 each, fol- lowed by Matt Bibeau who had all of his 9 points in the first half. Melillo scored all of his seven points in the first 6:35, as those five starters contributed with a combined 50 of the team's points.

"Georgetown had been play- ing some teams pretty tough," said McCune "They beat North Reading and they lost to Masco by three points the other night. The focus heading into this game was we have to start

playing some defense, (espe- cially) in the half court We're starting to get that mentality back. Friday night was a strug- gle, coming off that win on Thursday night, taking that bus trip wasn't what I was hop- ing for.

ty good defense and we raj the ball pretty good* ly) which is a lingering tern for us from time to and we just have to keep ing away at*

Wildcats flipping after National Championship

.» * For the second year in a row the Wilmington High School cheerleaders are National

right before McKinley was a tough spot to be in and the team knew exactly what they needed to do - perform like never before and leave it to the judges to decide who should come out on top. Waiting around for the awards ceremo- ny was very tough as the girls were anxious to hear whether they were able to overcome the point difference and take home the title.

The awards ceremony began

team and compete locally until their season comes to a close the end of March. You can catch this talented group of ladies at their Cape Ann League competition at Triton High School on Saturday, February 17th at 1:00.

After the CAL competition they will be competing in Woburn for the D3 North Regional title on Sunday, March 4th (time TBD) and then from there on to States (time and place TBD).

A big thank you to the parents

i had a scheduled practice and walk through to familiarize (themselves with the venue.

On Saturday morning there • were a few girls that woke with

the stomach bug and head cold . but were determined to take the

floor without letting it affect their performance.

-; .* Wilmington competed against - bther teams from various parts

of the United States. From the Very beginning it was apparent their toughest competition was to be McKinley Technical High School from Washington, DC. Sure enough, after day one WHS was sitting in second place behind McKinley by 3.67 points.

Scoring is tabulated by taking 1/3 of the total score from day pne and adding it to 2/3 of the total score from day two to

;. determine the winner. IZ jCnowing they were behind by ♦*«.67 points the team gathered »£«n Saturday evening for a one -^Jiour practice to work on areas T^ivhere they could make up

and the WHS cheerleaders, coaches and' parents were patiently waiting to hear the final results. As awards began and other teams were announced it came down to Wilmington and McKinley.

With the music playing and the lights flashing they announced McKinley Tech in 2nd place and the National Champion Wilmington Wildcats in 1st place. What a moment for these girls to have come from behind to take the title from a very tantntedgroup of ladies from McKinley/

The celebration was tremen- dous and when the girls were on the podium receiving their near five foot trophy, National Champions banner, Sweatshirts and medals the scene was truly memorable.

Most of these young ladies cheered during the Football season and continued on to the Basketball season and have been working extremely hard to win the National title. Going forward they will continue to cheer on the boys basketball

for taking the time to travel with the team to Baltimore and for their continued support throughout the entire season, we truly appreciate it! Also, to the School Committee and Administration for allowing the ladies this unique opportunity to experience this level of com- petition all the while creating memories that will surely last a life time.

The team is coached by Nancy Sullivan and Kathy Ruggiero and consists of Senior Captains Jennelle Ciulla, Maggie Sorrentino; Juniors Nicole Allan, Kim Ciampa, Amanda Ciulla, Jessi Crowley, Kathryn Fraser, Katelyn Gallant, Gina Rizzo, Amy Sinclair, Vicky Tanzella, Kayla Ward, Brittani Winn;

Sophomores Nicole Bonoccolto, Kendra Burke, Kayla D'Arcangelo, Shannon Jones, Katie Riley, Danielle Underwood and Freshmen Danielle Allan, Kristen Cabral, Brittani French, Kayla Reynolds, Lisa Russell and Sarah Ward.

Former WHS Basketball star Mike Lombard has guided the Littleton girls basketball team to an 14-4 record in his first year as head coach. (courtesy photo)

By PAN IGO Sports Correspondent

Mike Lombard, a basketball legend in Wilmington, is mak- ing his mark in Littleton, but this time as a coach.

Lombard is in his first year as head coach of the Littleton High School girls, basketball team. The Tigers are 14-4 after beating Maynard on Tuesday night and haye already qualified for the state tournament.

Lombard - who graduated from WHS in 1988 after becoming the second basket- ball player to crack the 1,000 point plateau and was recent- ly inducted into the WHS Athletic Hall of Fame - works as a mortgage broker in Littleton and recently moved into town, so it was a smooth transition to step into his new position. He was in contact with Littleton High Athletic Director Mike Flynn about the girls coaching position when it opened up last year, and after all was said and done, he got the job.

Flynn said he loves what Lombard has brought to the table so far this year.

"He's got good court pres- ence," Flynn said. "He stays well composed during pres- sure situations. He's tough on the girls, yes, but it's done in the right way."

Lombard holds the Wilmington Boys Basketball

scoring record and is a mem- ber of the high school's Athletic Hall of Fame. He grew up in a family with seven sisters, so coaching a girl's team is comfortable for him.

"I just wanted to coach and to coach my own team," he said. "Coaching girls is differ- ent from coaching boys, as I've learned this year. I don't have to motivate them as much as I had to with boys, but girls don't respond as well to screaming and yelling."

This isn't Lombard's first stop on the coaching scene. After graduating from Dartmouth, where he was a team captain and earning Ivy League Honorable Mention honors, he moved around the area, stopping off at different schools. He was an assistant coach and sub-varsity coach at Dartmouth, Wilmington and Lowell Catholic before finally getting the head coach's job at Littleton.

"I knew as a player what I wanted to do as a coach," Lombard said. "I was lucky to be coached by a couple of great coaches. I wanted to have the same type of impact on kids, lives the same way those coaches had on mine."

This season has gotten off to a terrific start for the Littleton Tigers girls, basket- ball team. Both Flynn and Lombard admit that com-

pared to some of the other teams at the school, the girls, basketball team as historical- ly not been as successful. This is something Flynn is hoping Lombard can change.

"The talent pool, both presently and in the future, looks very well," he said. "(Lombard) wants to build through the youth programs and wants to help out there. There's no limit on how good this team can be."

This statement was echoed by Lombard, who said the key to building a successful pro- gram is to start young. He said he hopes the program gets to the point where girls in junior high are looking up to the players in high school.

"It starts with getting the right people in places," he said. "We need to get to the lower level. The real success- ful programs have girls play year round. If we want to get to that level, that is what we need to do."

So far the Tigers are 12-3, pending last Tuesday's game with Tahanto Regional. Flynn said he is very happy with the decision to bring Lombard in.

"They're playing team bas- ketball," Flynn said. "They've shown steady improvement. Mike has certainly brought structure to the program."

thanks to some terrific shooting by Michaela Mederios, who scored a game high 27 points, including seven three-pointers.

"She's a nice player with a good shot," said Wildcat head

with a good shot and certainly has terrific potential to be one heck of a basketball player down the road.

"She's slowly getting back to being 100 percent," said Keane. "She's still not 100 percent in my opinion. But we're trying to ease her back in and get her some minutes. I think tonight was the most she's played all season. Hopefully by the time the state tournament comes around, and she's playing more and is com- pletely healthy, I think she can really help us."

After Mederios scored on a put back cutting the early score down to 9-4 in favor of the 'Cats,

Wilmington went on a 11-0 run and led 20-4 just over the halfway point of the first half. Minutes later with the score 22-9. Fahey went on an impressive run scoring four of the team's next five field goals to help Wilmington take a commanding 33-16 halftime lead.

Sauve and Bozzella connected on two field goals each and two minutes later the starters came out and Wilmington cruised the rest of the way for the victory.

"We were trying to work on some things," said Keane. "But this was a good win, especially after losing to Pentucket. We didn't want to be dragging our

heads after that loss. We want to put together another nice win- ning streak."

On Tuesday night, the 'Cats defeated Georgetown, 51-29. meaning the two wins puts the team at 15-2 and 10-1 in the league just one game behind Pentucket and tied with Masconomet, who they take on this Friday in a huge road con- test. Wilmington returns home on Tuesday to face North Andover, who is clawing its way into the state tournament with a 7-8 overall record. Aiyssa Brown led the way with 16 points fol- lowed by Sauve with 11.

Cape Ann League Track Meet

Clarkin tosses in a fifth place finish

By MJKEJPEQLim Sports Correspondent

ROXBURY - The Wilmington High boys indoor track team competed in the Cape Ann League Championship Meet on Tuesday night at the Reggie Lewis Center and several Wildcats had very good perfor- mances, with four individuals and three relay teams all plac- ing in the top six of their events.

Junior Nate Clarkin, who has been outstanding all season in the shot put, continued his stel- lar performance in the CAL Meet with a throw of 43-10. Although the throw was actually a couple of feet short of what has become the norm for Clarkin, it was still good enough to place him in fifth place over- all.

Freshman Tom Valente took fifth place in the two mile event with a time of 10:36, and Tom Barry grabbed a fifth place fin- ish in the 300 meters with a time of 38.3 which qualified him for the state class meet on February 17.

The other point scorer for the Wildcats was Eric Russo, who qualified for the state meet with a time of 38.1 and a fifth place finish in the 300.

Freshman Kevin Flaherty did not score any points for the Wildcats, but had an outstanding day in the one mile event wit ha time of 4:50.9, which place him just out of the scoring in seventh

place, but was good enough to qualify him for the state meet.

Freshman Caleb Rogers also had a very good day in the 1,000 meters, finishing in a time of 2:50, which left him just tenths of a second short of qualifying for the state meet.

"Overall I thought we did very well," Wilmington coach Bob Cripps said. "Our freshmen did very well and got some great experience and they will be back and I thought it was a good day for the whole team."

The relay teams each qualified for the state meet despite Cripps having to shuffle the lineup around a little due to injuries.

The 4x200 team of Kyle Lunt, Jared Peters, Tyler Calway and Brad Colegrove took sixth place in a time of 1:41. Calway and Peters were called on to fill in at the last moment and did an out- standing job.

The 4x800 team of Valente, Bobby Folk, Caleb Rogers and Flaherty too fourth place in a time of 9:10, while the 4 x 400 team of Russo, John Lipiello. Mike Golden and Barry took fourth place in a time of 3:46.

"I was very pleased with the relay teams," Cripps said. "All three will go to the states and they will all have their regular runners for that meet. I was very happy for them."

Baima and Palumbo take runners-up spot at CAL championship track meet ; •-,.. By JAMIE POTE

Sporta Editor L-,. ROXBURY - The Wilmington . High School girls track-and-field

team had four individuals place ,, and one relay team place in the . top six of their respective events

'. 'during Tuesday night's Cape Ann League Championship Meet held at the Reggie Lewis Center.

''" Wilmington compiled 25 points : in the meet to finish in seventh

.,:■ place, and head coach Tom

Bradley was very pleased with that.

"Yes I'm happy, very much," he said. "We had some pretty good performances."

The Wildcats ended with a pair of second places, a third, a fourth and a sixth, while fellow captain Kim Silvia didn't place but became the fifth individual on the team to qualify for the Division 3 State Meet which will be held on February 17th back at the RLC

beginning at 2:30 pm. Sophomore Stephanie Baima

cleared 5-2 in the high jump and ended up taking second place because of more misses.

"Stephanie competed Sunday at the State Coaches Elite Meet and didn't do well," said Bradley. "So I was a little apprehensive about that going in but she jumped very well."

The surprise of the meet came from Carmen Palumbo. She was

seeded fourth in the 55-meter hur- dles, and ended up taking second place with a season best 9.23 sec- ond time.

"I was very surprised with Carmen," said Bradley. "The best seed time going into the race was 9.3, and she nosed out a Masconomet girl to take second place and that 9.23 seconds is by far her best time ever"

Sophomore Natalie Russo was third in the two mile, coming in

with her best time of the season at 12:01.

"She ran a very good race and had to come from behind to take third," said Bradley. "Natalie has been up and down in the big meets but (Tuesday) she was very impressive. Sometimes when she runs she doesn't have enough at the end, but that was- n't the case tonight. She had more than enough in the tank to come back to take third."

Yet another sophomore Lizz Chin was fifth in the 55-meter dash coming in at 7.47, which like her teammates, was her best time of the season.

Finally the 4x400 relay team of Silvia, Russo, Charlotte Jensen and Taryn Martinello were sixth with a combined time of 4:33 beating their previous best time by a second. Those four girls, along with the 4x200 relay team join Chin, Palumbo, Baima,

9 • • • Wilmington did it Bv JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor Four years ago the

Wilmington High boys basket- ball team came back from a 12- point deficit with 2:30 to go and defeated its rival Tewksbury to knock them out of a post-sea- son berth.

On Thursday night, again Tewksbury needed a win to help its chances of getting into the tournament, and again it was denied by another come from behind victory by the 'Cats. This time, Wilmington trailed by 18 points with 10:34 to go, and went on a 23-6 run which gave the 'Cats an eight point lead with 2:46 to go, and Tewksbury could never recover as the 'Cats came away with the 72-67 victory.

Tewksbury is now 4-10 on the season but now need to defeat Melrose which would give them a 4-3 record against teams in Division 2 and 3, thus they would qualify for tourney play no matter what the team's final record would be.

In the first five minutes of the second half, Wilmington was playing terrible, with just two field goals to show for it. Head

coach Jim McCune sent a mes- sage to his starters by taking all five out. He told them when they decide they want to play to let him know. Two minutes later those five players were back in, and led by Zack Fahey and John Olivere, who com- bined for 20 of the 23 points in that run, the Wildcats dominat- ed play in the final 10:34.

"You got to play with some heart and intensity and I just told the kids that," said McCune. "I don't understand why they don't bring that on a nightly basis. It's as simple as that. We have some good ath- letes who can run and we have the ability to be a tremendous pressing team and to do that you have to work hard, have heart, play with intensity and you have to hustle. We haven't hustled like that in a while."

During that 23-6 run, Tewksbury connected on just two field goals, both treys by junior Mike Ferriero, who ended the night with 25 points including seven from beyond the arc. The Redmen struggled mightily from the free throw line during that stretch missing all five attempts of a 1-and-l

situation, while going 7-or-14 from the line in the game, while, Wilmington converted 23-of-33.

"We turned the ball over on inopportune times as we have in the past and we didn't make free throws to stop their run," said Redmen coach Jim Sullivan. "We couldn't make any of those 1-and-ls to stop their run, plain and simple. We went to the line five times and missed all five free throws. If we made one of them, we keep them at bay but instead we were missing them, they came down the floor and scored. We tried to stay calm, we tried to stay relaxed but again like too many times this season there's bad turnovers at bad times. There were bad turnovers at the wrong time of the game.

"Four years ago this (Wilmington) team came back down by 13 points with 2:30 to go and beat us to not allow us to go to the state tournament. There's never any time when I'm feeling like this game is over until the horn goes off with these guys. That was never in our frame of mind, it was never spoken and it was

Olivere emerging to the forefront By JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor

TEWKSBURY - In a two game span, the Wilmington High boys basketball team was trailing to both Pentucket Regional and Tewksbury at halftime. Last Tuesday night, the 'Cats were down by three points at the break, and came back to win 63-55. Two days later, Wilmington trailed Tewksbury by five points at the break only to come back and win by five.

Both of the second half rallies were led by senior co-captain John Olivere. Against Pentucket, he scored 11 second half points on his way to a 19- pdint performance and on

Thursday he was that much better. He had just five points with 10:34 to go in the game and went on to score 18 for a 23- point night, but more impor- tantly help the Wildcats go on a 23-5 run and come away with the team's 12th win at the time.

In those two games, Olivere combined to score 42 points with 29 of them coming in the second half.

"John Olivere just took the game over (Thursday against Tewksbury)," said coach Jim McCune. "He was outstanding, just outstanding. I don't know what he had for points but he had to have close to 30. He is doing it. He did it the other night. We needed someone to

take control of the game, take the ball to the hoop and he's so much of a better player when he does that."

The last two years Olivere was know more for his contri- bution from the outside, bury- ing that lethal three-pointer or jump shot. Nowadays, he's still coming througn with the perimeter shots, but now he's also driving to the hole a lot more frequently. Thursday night was a perfect example of what he can do with a basket- ball.

During that 23-5 run, Olivere scored six field goals and added three free throws. He

never thought. We don't think like that and we've learned our lesson four years ago when we had Mike Rocco and missed out pn the state tournament by one game. That game taught all of us a good lesson and it taught me a good lesson, I know that.

They turned up the intensity level and we didn't match it."

Said McCune, "The kids kept their cool and Tewksbury helped us a little bit at the free throw line by missing some free throws. That was a huge part of the turnaround was when they

Defeat first place team to stay olive

Hockey team not about to say 'Good Knight' to season

Bv JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

ANDOVER - Clinging on for dear life to qualify for the state tournament, the Wilmington High boys ice hockey team defeated the first place North Andover Scarlet Knights, 5-4, in a tremendously played back- and-forth contest played Saturday afternoon at Merrimack College's Lawlor Arena. Eric Siegel and Michael

Enwright scored two goals each, while goaltender Michael Cabral made 18 saves, includ- ing two gems in the final minute with the Wildcats killing off a penalty, to lift Wilmington to the win, and more importantly keeping the team alive for its state tourna- ment chances. This is a huge win for us,"

said Cabral. "We have only five games left so every game is a must win if we want to get into the state tournament. Coming out and beating the first place team we deserve a lot of credit. (North Andover) plays real hard, but coming out and beat- ing them we now have some momentum going into our next game."

With the victory, Wilmington is now 5-8-2 overall and need eight points in its last five games to continue its season.

"Obviously we're desperate so any win is a good win at this point," said Steve Scanlon, who won his 175th game as Wildcat head coach. "We learned some- thing from a week ago being in that situation (against Newburyport), so how big is that right now if we starved that off? But I think we might have learned something from that game and playing in the final three minutes (of every game). Michael came up with some big stops there in the end (of Saturday's game). But we have to take them and move on at this point."

North Andover took a 1-0 lead just 3:05 into the game scoring on a transition goal, something the team excels at. Coming in on a 3-on-2 break, Ryan Sufferian dropped pass between his legs to Ryan Gillespie, whose wrist shot went to the top corner.

Wilmington stormed back and scored three goals to close out the first period. The first goal started on a nice rush by Ernie Mello, who came in to the Knights zone on a 3-on-2. After his shot was saved, the loose puck was fought for, before Shane Foley sent a pass from behind the net to Mello who was in the slot area and his wrist shot to the far corner tied the-game up at one.

The score remained tied until the final minute of play. Fighting for possession in the North Andover zone, senior co- captain Bryan Kelley sacrificed his body and was slammed by a defenseman. The puck was then picked up by Siegel, who put a backhander into the inside left corner giving Wilmington a 2-1 lead. Just 21 seconds later, the

'Cats were on the power play. With a face-off just outside the 'Cats blue line, Michael Enwright took the puck down the left wing boards ad found himself on a 2-on-l break. As he came into the North Andover zone, he put a wrist shot through the five hole for the 3-1 lead after the first period.

The second period was pretty even with neither team having many scoring chances until both teams broke the game wide open scoring a combined five goals in the last 4:48. North Andover cut the lead to 3-2 and then tied the game up two min- utes later. But 50 seconds after that Wilmington retook the lead once again as Siegel had the puck on the left hand circle, spun and rifled and incredible slap shot to the far corner mak- ing it 4-3.

"If he gets hot we can get going," said Scanlon of Siegel. "Hopefully he can carry this through down the stretch and we can sneak in (to the tourna- ment)."

Again Wilmington went on the power play late in a period, this one coming with 58 seconds left. Foley started an offensive chance lugging the puck into the North Andover zone, before working it around the net before finding Enwright in the slot and his wrist shot found the back of the net for what proved to be the game winning goal coming with 12 seconds left in the period.

North Andover did make things very interesting scoring a controversial goal. Sufferian took a shot from the circle that found its way inside the far coi- ner as the buzzer went off but the referees ruled it was a goal making it 5-4.

The score remained the same throughout the third period. Cabral came up big with two saves in the final few seconds including one impressive block er stop to hold off a last second North Andover attack.

"I saw the puck was at the point," described Cabral. "My defensemen did a nice job of clearing out the guys in front so I was able to have a real good luck at the shot. I just wanted to bang the puck into the cor- ner and keep it from out in front of the net."

Six different players figured in all of the scoring with all of them have multiple points. Siegel and Enwright had two goals and one assist each, while, Foley had three assists. Mello had one of each, while Zack Ciampa and Kelley had two assists each.

Certainly with all of the offen- sive production, one thing that went unnoticed was the terrific play from the team's third line trio of Kevin Flanagan, Andrew Goosens and Nick Robarge, who were fantastic all night. They did play great," said

Scanlon. They do exactly what they're told. They put the puck in deep, they check just the way you draw it up on the board. They are hardworkers, they are not afraid to put their body on people and they got some good (scoring) opportuni- ties."

Now with the offensive break- out game, Scanlon is hoping this can continue down the stretch.

"We're hoping a win like this can be a lift for you," he said. "Get you're mojo back a little bit. We're at home Wednesday night and we're hoping the kids come ready to play. The game is played with emotion and it's been better the last few games. You have to reach down and get it from somewhere and we have to play with a little bit more life.

"For us this (win) is huge. Our backs are against the wall and if we want to qualify for the state tournament, we have to go on a run. I think we can only lose one more game. So we're playing desperate right now. (North Andover) has had things go their way lately so we thought they were ready (to be had). They are an explosive club and you can't go to sleep against them." Last Wednesday, Wilmington

was defeated by North Reading, 3-1, at the Burbank Arena in Reading. The Hornets led 1-0 after the first and 2-0 after the second, before Tom Sokoloski scored his second goal of the game giving the Hornets a 3-0 lead just three minutes into the third period. Wilmington did get on the board with 2:14 to go as Foley found the back of the net as he was set up by linemates Enwright and Mello. Cabral made 22 saves in the losing effort.

Wilmington hosted a very good Triton team Wednesday night as this paper hit the local stores, and then travel to the Newburyport Arena Saturday night to face Pentucket, who the 'Cats defeated 6-0 earlier this season.

A 'Golden'--win for girls hockey team Bv JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor ANDOVER - It would be

strange to think that despite being outshot 34-13, that Wilmington High girls hockey coach Joe McMahon said that his team played the best brand of hockey he's ever seen.

Last Wednesday night, the Wildcats defeated Division 1 powerhouse Andover, 3-2, in a back-and-forth nonleague con- test played at the PA Harrison Arena.

"Without a doubt it's the best game I've ever seen," said McMahon. "We never beat this team before and we outplayed them soundly. We beat them in every aspect of the game except for shots. We just made pur shots count more than (heirs." r- „ McMahon said that there were a combined 12 penalties in the game, with six on each side thus making the shot count a little deceiving.

"Most of the game was played in their zone," said McMahon. "We controlled the play, espe- cially in the neutral zone. We had just the 13 shots on net, but I don't think it reflects how the game was played. We played a solid, disciplined game. Ever since the Billerica loss, these girls really get it. And they are a real fun team to watch."

Wilmington got on the score- board first as Jess Scioli scored

just 1:06 into the game as she was set up by Sara Alonardo. Andover's Heather Paonessa tied the game up just 18 sec- onds later before Scioli gave the 'Cats the lead again netting her second goal of the game at the 3:59 mark with assists going to Alonardo and Maria Tucker, who was recently moved up from an assistant captain to captain.

Tucker then put Wilmington up by two goals as she was set up by Alonardo and Scioli at the 6:59 mark of the second period to make it 3-1. Andover cut the deficit back to a goal just 1:35 later but the 'Cats held on to the lead throughout the rest of the second period and in the third period despite being outshot 15-3.

"(Goaltender) Amelia (Woodbury) was exceptional," said McMahon. "She didn't give up any rebounds, she covered up the loose pucks and just played really well."

With the win Wilmington is now 12-1 and 7-0 in the Cape North League.

"Andover has never treated (Wilmington) with respect," said McMahon. "But these (Wilmington) girls came focused and ready to play as soon as they stepped on the ice. They just amazed the entire coaching staff. We told them what they had to do to win, and they listened to us and did what they had to do. If the girls play like they did against Andover, no team in Division 2 will be able to touch us.

To the Andover coach's cred- it, he told us after the game that we were the best team he's faced all season."

Wilmington is back in action with a home game on Saturday afternoon beginning at 2:30 against another potent offen- sive team from Chelmsford.

Foley assisting in many different ways

By JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

ANDOVER - Last year Shane Foley played mostly on the third line for the Wilmington High boys ice hockey team. He wasn't the quickest player, but he held his own offensively, chipping in with the occasional point here or there.

A year later, two inches taller, ten pounds heavier, Foley is currently leading the Wildcats offensively with 10 goals and 11 assists through the team's 15 games thus far. He added three assists to his already impres- sive season in the team's huge 5-4 win over the first place squad from North Andover on Saturday. In that game, he logged a lot of minutes, played very well in all three zones, and ignited a lot of the team's offen- sive chances.

"He's a smart player," said head coach Steve Scanlon. "He has very good hands and he's very clever. He knows his limi- tations and he doesn't try to do things he can't do. He plays smart and he sees the ice real well. That's probably his biggest asset. If you have your stick on the ice playing with Shane, you're going to get the puck and get some points because he'll find you."

Foley loves being the team's playmaker. All he does is look for the open man. He makes the real nice heads up passes, find the guy open in front of the net, or slide the puck back to the point man for a shot. Sometimes he passes too much, but he's nothing but a team player looking to set up one of his linemates.

A few weeks ago, Scanlon changed the forward lines up a bit and Foley is now playing along side Michael Enwright and Ernie Mello. On Saturday the three of them figured in three goals, including the game winner coming on the power play with 12 seconds to go in the second period.

"We've been moving the puck really well and seem to have

real good chemistry," said Foley about his new linemates.

On Saturday those words were proven. Trailing 1-0 midway through the first period, Mello started an odd-man rush and after his shot was saved, it was Foley who was behind the net, who fed Mello with the puck and he deposited it home to tie the game up at one.

Then later in the first period and leading 2-1, Foley won a face-off outside the Wildcat zone and the puck landed on the stick of Enwright who came into the North Andover zone and rifled a wrist shot home giving Wilmington a 3-1 lead after the first period.

After North Andover scored the game's next two goals, Wilmington's Eric Siegel gave Wilmington the lead again scoring with 1:39 to go in the period. Then seconds later, on the power play, Foley worked the puck impressively around the North Andover zone, before circling and finding Enwright alone in front. The pass was right on his stick and again a wrist shot to the back of the net allowed Wilmington to cele- brate with what proved to be the game winning goal.

"This is a big win for us," he said. "Hopefully we're heading in the right direction. We all had confidence that we could

win, but we knew that we had to step it up because these guys are a real good team-

Besides the three assists and becoming that ultimate play- maker, Foley has really improved with his neutral zone and defensive backchecking this season. With the 5-4 lead in the third period, trying to hold North Andover off was a very difficult task especially in the final 20 seconds when the Knights had a two-man advan tage.

"In the third period against Newburyport, I think we were more on our heels and today we went after them because I think because we're desperate and we need to win," said Foley. "(When we took the timeout with 20 seconds left) we all had confidence that we could do it. that we could win."

Now after the three-point night, Foley was the first to point on that the team's perfor- mance on Saturday won't mean as much if the 'Cats don't keep it up.

"We have to win four of our last five games (to qualify for the state tournament)," he said. "We just have to play like we did today, skate fast, put the puck in deep, play the system and we'll be fine."

SP8W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2007

Team nicknames drawing up a stir? File this one under: Another

case of political correctness run amuck.

In these days when you can't look sideways at someone while saying that they don't look good wearing the color red, this 'don't call a team an Indian nickname' thing has raised its' silly head once again. Enough already with worrying about who are we going to offend. This isn't even borderline prej- udicial or nasty. Even worse, most people around here don't even care about it and even worse for the PC faithful, virtu- ally every Tewksbury sports fan I talked to in recent weeks looks at the name 'Redmen' with great pride and respect.

What will make this even tougher for the PC people to take is that Tewksbury is will- ing to fight to keep the name Redmen in place just as tena ciously as the heroic Wamesit tribe fought for land along the Billerica-Tewksbury line cen- turies ago.

Recently, the Natick School Committee began discussing a possible name change from Redmen, and a Boston newspa- per spoke to Tewksbury High School Athletic Director Robert Aylward and senior quarter- back Nick Ianetta about what they thought about their school holding fast to the name that TMHS has traditionally treated with honor and respect.

Aylward always reminds any- one who dredges this topic up every couple of years, that his school will hold fast to tradi- tion, and has no intention of fol- lowing the many other colleges and high school athletic depart- ments that have walked like lemmings down this path of political correctness.

Tewksbury has been the Redmen since 1934. Why make a change because the minority rants and raves over a school's team name? Apparently, many schools feel that the protests warrant name changes. The former Andover High School Golden Warriors are now the Golden Tornadoes. The former University of Lowell Chiefs are now the River Hawks. Are those poor folks in Central Florida offended by the word

6y Rick Coo**.

tornado? And just how do birds feel about ULowell's angry, dive-bombing hawk logo?

Several years ago, Town Crier Sports Editor Jamie Pote asked for local opinion via a newspa- per poll. He received only a handful of responses. So, either no one gave a hoot, or the Tewksbury sports faithful sim- ply deemed the question unwor- thy of an answer.

I decided to take my own 'man in the street" poll before I ventured into the wonderful Tewksbury Public Library research room to gather some historical perspective on the Wamesit Indian tribe. It didn't take much research to figure out how the town feels about this particular group of people and the name Redmen. There is a statue in town along Route :tw as you head into Lowell. The statue was created in 1989 by the nationally respected Mico Kaufman, who has sculpted presidents and many other national figures over the course of his marvelous artistic career.

Do you get where I'm going with this? Tewksbury commis- sioned a renowned artist with a legit rep to honor a race of peo- ple that the town respects. This statue is not in town for the pigeons to poop on. People should look at it and remember the courage and perseverance of the Wamesit Indians.

I went as far back as the year 1725, in which the Tewksbury reflection "Our Town' notes that the Wamesits "survived great suffering in warfare and weath- er, but were diligent and perservered." The words perservere, constant and dili-

gent are everywhere in this town book regarding the Wamesit tribe. That was all the historical perspective that I needed. Time to move into this century and the Court of Public Opinion.

"Five or six years ago, some- one came to us and said 'why Redmen' can we change it?" offered AD Aylward. "No one had asked until then, and then some other schools changed their names. Andover had changed its' name, then UMass, and then UMass Lowell changed their name from the Chiefs to the River Hawks. When I came to Tewksbury in 1974, I talked to Charlie Hazel (the late TMHS Director of Physical Education) and he always told me that the name was in honor of the Wamesit Indian."

Aylward was making an excel- lent case for the status quo.

"I've always thought of it as something that this group of people would take tremendous pride in, and we've never thought of it as anything derogatory," Aylward noted. "If I thought that we were hurting somebody, I'd be the first per- son to ask for a change. It's a tremendous source of pride for our kids. I think that we try to dignify that particular group by using that name."

With this Tewksbury 'tribe' I had started at the top with the chief Aylward, and quite natu- rally, worked my way down to longtime coaches and fans whose opinions will get all fired-up the next time the PC people begin rallying for this change.

Leo DiRocco, the TMHS girls' varsity softball coach for over 20 years, has been around Tewksbury sports in various capacities since 1974.

"I would never want to see the name changed - never," DiRocco said. "I wouldn't change it, I'd fight it. I think that it means something to the guys that have been here in the past and in the future. We have the traveling teams in the youth program, and they're all named the Redmen. You want to be a Redmen when you're growing up. I think that name

really means something to every program in this town."

DiRocco goes back to when there was a Tewksbury Pop Warner program, and those Redmen, under coach Joe Petros, were always sending championship caliber players straight to the high school, where they were coached by Aylward to several schoolboy Super Bowls. Those teams were all Redmen and very proud of the victories and the name that was attached to all that suc- cess.

Even if a Tewksbury team isn't particularly successful, local coaches would rather play in traffic than see a name change

"I don't think they should change it," said varsity basket- ball coach Jim Sullivan.

His Redmen might lose as they learn to play as a team, but their coach sees the name as a great source of pride.

"This community was a Wamesit Indian community. We are honoring that community by using the name Redmen. Growing up as a Tewksbury Redmen, I'd be really disap- pointed if the name was changed. Why does everything have to be so politically cor- rect? It's (the name) done in honor, it's not done in disre- spect. We don't make fun or ridicule the Wamesit Indians by using their name. It's done in honor, respect and appreciation of the people that came before us," Sullivan said.

He then offers up a solid anal- ogy.

"Why is the Middle School named after John Ryan? We name the school after him to honor him for all he's done for the school department."

One of biggest rallying cries comes from the TMHS' varsity football program, where the name Redmen has marquee value.

"The school, the town, all our kids and coaches have tried to represent pride, teamwork, loy- alty and unity and that is all identified as being Redmen. It's seen as being Redmen tough," says assistant football coach and head boys lacrosse coach Brian Hickey.

Charlie Roux, one of the toughest and most respected players in TMHS* football histo- ry, tells you straight-up if he likes something or not. There probably is not a politically- correct bone in Roux' body, and the 1970-71 Redman offers this solicited opinion: "I didn't think that the UMass Redmen (now Minutemen) should have changed their name, and I don't think that the Tewksbury Redmen should change their name period. Notre Dame's name is the Fighting Irish, and you could take that to mean drunken, fighting, brawling

Mico Kaufmann's Wamesit Tewksbury's Redmen nickname.

Indian sculpture represents

Irish but no one has a problem with that name."

The negative response to a possible name change doesn't stop with coaches and players. Even retired, volunteer-coach- es and Tewksbury residents don't like the prospect of no more Redmen.

"We've been the Redmen for- ever. It wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be right," said TMHS' basketball volunteer assistant Dave Mullen.

The 'Mull' has coached and been around Redmen for 40 years before his retirement. He's coached the basketball and baseball teams and filmed the football teams, all while carting young Redmen to see sporting events across the country. Do you think this guy is for the change? Are you kid- ding me? "I'd give that whole idea the big thumbs down," offered Mullen.

Rob Ahem didn't graduate from Tewksbury High School, but he lives and works in town, and is a fixture at TMHS' var- sity basketball games. The Keith Academy grad loves sports, and loves watching the Redmen, so why shouldn't he have an opinion?

"If I was a descendent of an Indian tribe or a Native American, I'd be honored, because that name in Tewksbury has stood for courage and the correct way to live your life," he said.

When Mico Kaufman's sculp- ture of the Wamesit Indian was dedicated on June 17, 1989, it's

safe to say that none of the town fathers or Tewksbury ath:

letes could forecast all this crabbing over a name. On that day, it was noted in the Town History that: "Tewksbury was going to be named Wamesit after the Wamesit Indians, but due to the failure of our early settlers to construct a meeting house in the time designated, our separation from Billerica was postponed for several years. And our name became Tewksbury. The Wamesit Indians were peaceful Indians and friendly with the settlers."

Billerica High School's teams remain the Indians, and hope- fully, the name Redmen wjH stay in place for many years come. Having lived, played sports and made lifelong friendships in both those towns, my vote goes on the side of names that mean something, both past and present

Bob Aylward did offer a possi- bly solution the next time someone walks into his office and offers this name change suggestion.

"How would you feel if we called our teams the Tewksbury Cooke's?" he offered.

I think I'd like it. What would the logo be? A big, bald guy howling in protest over no more Redmen? Think about it. The name Redmen just fits. To me, it means great success, cham- pionships, memories earned and cherished. They don't call me The Guy With The Big Red T' On His Chest for nothing. .

get it going. "I had to send a message to

the starters," he said. "And I give the second group a lot of credit. They didn't gain any ground but they didn't let the game get away and they gave these guys a shot. I'm proud of these guys. I think now being in this situation they believe they can do it. This is what I envi- sion us to be and I get very,

very frustrated when I don't see that. This is a great win, and it's huge for us."

Olivere finished with 28 points with all but five coming in the second half. After opening the second half with a jump shot, he didn't score again until con- necting on two free throws with 10:07 to go. From there he scored 19 points, including a pair of treys and another huge

converted on a three treys, two jumpers and one very important three-point play, which he drove to the basket and was fouled by Tewksbury's Brian Sullivan, who was flagged for his fifth and final foul. Olivere converted on the free throw and that gave Wilmington a 57-54 lead and they never looked back there- after.

"My outside shot hasn't been as good as I hoped, so I have been driving to the basket a lot more," said Olivere.

During that game, Olivere had to switch between point guard and shooting guard because of the absence of Mike Manganelli, and because Olivere picked up two quick first half fouls. At the start of the second half, things weren't going all that well for Olivere and the team's other four

Shawsheen Tech Sports Round-Up t Rams hockey team put on the backburner for league title

' Bv MIKE IPPOI.ITO

The Shawsheen Tech hockey team played on back-to-back nights this past week, hitting the road to take on Northeast Regional on Thursday night and following that up with a

[home game against Rockport [on Friday night at the l^allenborg Pavilion. [ The results for the Rams £were mixed as they lost a £tough one to CAC leading [-Northeast by a score of 4-1, tlikely costing them any ;-chance at a league title, but despite being struck by the flu bug, they bounced back nicely the next night for a 44 tie against Rockport, with D.J.

.Bemis scoring the tying goal t with just 48 seconds left in the tgame.

The 0-1-1 week leaves the t Rams with an overall record I of 8-3-4, while they are 7-2-2 in . the CAC. I Against Rockport the Rams I. took a 1-0 lead in the first peri- ,'.od on a gal by Mike DeRosa, ! but found themselves in a 3-1 ' hole in the opening minutes of the third period after Rockport scored in the final three minutes of the second period and in the first minute of the third period.

But the Rams never quit and came back to tie on goals by Cory Bruckler at the 5:00 mark and another by DeRosa at 7:22 of the period.

"We showed good comeback skills," Baker said. "We are dealing with some of the same things as a lot of teams where we have a lot of kids sick so to have them do this in the third period was great. It showed a lot of desire and heart. I hope we can feed off that."

With the momentum clearly on the Rams side they applied pressure trying to get the lead goal, dominating play in the third period and out shooting Rockport 51-29 for the game. But it was Rockport who took the lead, with Bobby Brousseau making it 4-3 with 2:16 left.

"We controlled play more in the third period, but when they had chances they capital- ized." Baker said. "They have some skilled kids and Brousseau is one of them. He scored two goals in 18 seconds to beat Northeast last week, and he cashed in on a break against us."

The Rams looked doomed when in addition to being behind late in the game, they were forced to play shorthand-

ed due to a penalty for a hit from behind. But once again, showing great resiliency they applied pressure in the Rockport end until Bemis bat- ted a puck out of the air and behind the stunned Rockport goalie to earn the Rams a hard fought tie.

"I was kind of figuring we were done when we got the penalty," Baker said. "I was hoping to get our goalie pulled, but before we could even do that, right off the faceoff in their end we were applying pressure and D.J. made a great play, showing some of his baseball skills knocking the puck out of the air."

While the tie was fairly satis- fying for the Rams because of the way they played, the loss to Northeast was very disap- pointing for the same reason. The Rams were tied 1-1 in the second period before Northeast took the lead late in the period. They then extend- ed the lead with a power play goal midway through the third period and added an empty netter in the closing seconds.

"I wouldn't have wanted to be a spectator for that one," Baker said. "It was a very slow paced game with not a lot of intensity from either team. I look at it as our worst per- formance of the season, and this is disappointing since all we have talked about since the last time we faced them we about taking out our anger for losing on other teams until we got to play them again."

The Rams have just three games left on their regular season schedule and will wrap up their season with the Newburyport Tournament before heading to the Division 3 playoffs. Baker is hoping for improved play before tourna- ment time.

"We would love to go into the Newburyport Tournament and win so we can head to the state tournament playing well and with a good seed," Baker said. "Every game counts from her on for that a well because you do not want to get stuck with a low seed."

Girls Basketball The girls basketball team at

Shawsheen brought their three game losing streak to a screeching halt on Tuesday night with a 44-16 win over CAC crossover rival North Shore at the Cook Street Pavilion. The Large School

Lady Rams were never threat- ened by their small school opponents, and while Shawsheen^oach Dick Barris was happy to see his team end the losing streak, he did not take much pleasure in the finahscore.

"It wasn't very fun," Barris said. "You sort of feel sorry for the other team. They were trying, but they are just not very good right now. The good news for us was that we got a lot of girls in who normally don't get to play in a varsity game so that part was nice."

Forward and captain Caitlin Gallagher of Wilmington led the Lady Rams with ten points, while Melanie Strazzere had eight and Courtney Jenkins had six in a well balanced scoring attack.

While Barris did not like the idea of seeing an opponent take such a beating he did enjoy the fact that his team put an end to their losing streak, which included a 39-12 loss to Tyngsboro last week, along with a 47-27 loss to an outstanding Lynn Tech team last Friday.

"When you lose three in a tow when you play more tal- ented teams like we did there is not a lot you can do," Barris said. "So it is great to get back on the winning track, but now the key will be continuing to play well over our last two games and into the tourna- ment." The state tournament for the

Rams suddenly looks a lot bet- ter with this victory as it improved their record to 8-7 overall, meaning they must win just one of their next two games in order to qualify for the tourney.

"That is another reason this win was big," Barris said. "Because if you lose it and you are 7-8 you would feel really bad and would not even feel like you belong in the tourna- ment."

While the win over North Shore may have not been a great barometer of how his team is playing down the stretch, the 47-27 loss to Lynn Tech was actually encourag- ing for Barris. Despite the wide margin of defeat, the game was much closer most of the way, with Shawsheen trail- ing only 16-11 at the half, and it was his first indication that his team was back on the right track.

"We were able to slow them down in the first and did a very good job," Barris said.

Ten things we'll quickly forget about this year's Super Bowl

By LOUIE CIMAGL1A Sports Correspondent

A lot of people had high hopes for this year's Super Bowl. But it seemed most people's hopes were drowned in the torrential downpours of South Beach.

Here are the Tbp Ten things history will remem- ber about Super Bowl XLI.

10. Peyton gets his Ring Peyton Manning finally won his champioaship.

Not the Colts. Peyton Manning. Somehow Manning also won the MVP, a token of apprecia- tion from the NFL it seemed. Manning had a decent game, and statistically, it was eerily sim- ilar to Rex Grossman's. However, Manning did manage the game very well and played with a bad thumb and in the poor conditions.

9. Grossman was well, gross Never bet on the side of Rex Grossman.

Somehow, he turned in the ugliest 20-28 perfor- mance of all time. He threw two atrocious inter- ceptions, lost two snaps and looked plain awful. Simply put, it would be wise for Rex not to run for mayor of Chicago.

8. Vinatieri who? Mr. Clutch missed one field goal and came dan-

gerously close from missing another. Him miss- ing the first one was the highlight of the night. He doesn't retain the same magic he did in New England. You can't be angry at him; he won three Super Bowls for the Pats. But it was so great to see him miss.

7. Hester makes a Statement First play of the game. Devin Hester runs 90-

■jnTnp odd yards to give Chicage the early lead. ut. He accounted for much of the

Bears scoring and he touched the ball only once, really. How the Bears use him in the future will be very interesting. He is being compared to a young Deion Sanders, but Hester has yet to play defense for the Bears. Only time will tell.

6. Tony Dungy ends a career? There is much speculation regarding Dungy

and the decision he will make now that he has peaked. So much was made of Dungy and Lovie Smith and which one would become the first African-American coach to win a Super Bowl. But as the media coverage progressed over the week and the game played on, it was clear that both men were classy guys and skin color does not mean anything in this day and age.

5. Surely the Commercials will cheer us up.... They didn't. The commercials have gotten

lamer and lamer every year. There was three, maybe four worth laughing at. At 2.5 million dol- lars for a 30 second spot, you would think the commercials would be worth watching. Terry Tate, where have you gone?

4. How about that halftime show? Prince was excruciatingly boring. Although he

does deserve credit for playing an electric guitar in a driving rain storm. He half-heartedly played songs people are sick of hearing and he was the wrong choice for the show. As for the other musi- cal-type acts, the Cirque du Soleil prelude was bizarre at best.

But thanks to the classical stylings of Billy Joel's star spangled banner, the show clicked up a notch. That brings it to notch one.

3. How 'bout that weather? All the proof in the world every Super Bowl

should be played with 0% chance of rain.

2. Wait...the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl?

They probably didn't have to go through New England.

1. Odds from Las Vegas San Diego is favored to win it all for next year.

Indy is next and the Pats are at 8-1 odds. Place your bets now.

"In the second half they pressed us and we did not han- dle it well. Even so, we were only down 12 with about she minutes to go.

"That was a more realistic look at what we might see in the post season," Barris said. "And even though we were not able to stay with them the whole game we were able to do pretty well against them. Add to that, ,we were l-for-10 from the free throw line in the first half. If we had shot 50 percent we would have been basically even with them. Given that, I was pleased with our effort against a very good team."

Boys Basketball Like the girls team, the boys

basketball team at the Tech was looking to end a three game losing streak when they took the court on Friday night, on the road against North Shore. And like the girls team, they came away with a very impressive win, routing their CAC rivals by a score of 54-31, using a brilliant second half to break open what had been a close game at the half.

With the win, the Rams improved to 10-6 overall (6-0 in CAC Small) and qualified for the state tournament. Next Tuesday night at the Cook Street Pavilion, they will take on rival Northeast Regional in a game that will likely decide the league title. Northeast has lost only one CAC Small game, and that was to the Rams ear- lier this season when the Rams came away with a 67-58 decision in Middleton. Junior forward Joe Gore of

Wilmington led the way for the Rams with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Gore had 18 of his 25 points in the second half.

"That was his best game of the season so far," Shawsheen coach Bob Hodnett said. "I liked seeing him play so well in the second half. It was mostly his inside game where he got most of his points but he also nailed a couple of three pointers for us." Junior guard Joe Killion of

Tewksbury added nine points, while forward and captain Matt Bruno of Tewksbury had eight points and seven rebounds.

The Rams led only 20-15 at the half, as they could not get anything going offensively for a variety of reasons.

"We were cold shooting the ball. We missed a lot of lay-

ups and easy shots and that really killed us offensively," Hodnett said. "And also (point guard) Tommy Joyce missed a lot of the first half with four trouble so that of course affected our offense." Despite the fact that the

Rams have now clinched a tournament spot and would love to improve their seeding the rest of the way, you won't find Hodnett or the Rams looking ahead, even to next week's big match-up with Northeast, as right now they are focused on their next game, which is Friday night against Keefe Tech.

"Right now we are taking it one game at a time. We are just happy that we made the tournament," Hodnett said. "Maybe in the final week of the season we will look at seedings and potential match- ups, but for right now we just want to win our next game."

Wrestling The Shawsheen wrestling

team had quite a week for itself, beginning last Wednesday night with a 56-18 rout of CAC rival Whittier and wrapping up their week with a second place finish in the CAC/State Vocational Tournament on Saturday afternoon at Whittier Tech

The Rams finished behind only league champion Greater Lawrence, who is ranked sec- ond in the entire state behind only powerhouse Lowell. Overall, Shawsheen, who is now ranked 16th in the state, placed 10 of their 14 wrestlers in the top four in their respec- tive weight classes, including three individual champions.

Ryan McLaughlin (130), Dan Pynn (189) and Dan Ronan (215) all took home titles, while Ryan Ahern (103) of Wilmington, Derek Sorenson (119) and Keith Wiitala (125) all captured second place fin- ishes.

Mat Compeneschi (140) of Wilmington finished third, while Tewksbury's Calvin McMillan (145) Alec Najjar (152) and Wilmington's Andrew Compeneschi (171) all finished fourth.

"I was pretty happy with how well we did," Shawsheen coach Mark Donovan said. "We knew going in that Greater Lawrence was the team to beat and we would need every- thing to break right in order for us to beat them. We weren't able to do that, but we

were still happy with the'ofer- all results." •**

Ahern, who just last 'week won his weight class at the Methuen Invitational came into the CAC Tournamenf 'pn the heels of a very impressive win against Whittier' ;©n Wednesday and just continued to roll. The former backup has found a home a\r J.& pounds and he is making, the most of it. • „.

"Ryan is a very talented*kjd. He is very good on his move&" Donovan said. "The only thing he was lacking wapjjelf confidence and a little tough- ness, but he that you need both of those to be a champion -sad he has been great for us." ..;•.

Sorenson's second place-fin- ish was also very impressive for the Rams, as was WiitaWs.

"Derek and Keith wrestled great all day and Derek lost by just one point with about, ten seconds to go in his final," Donovan said. "He has done very well. Pound for pound-he is as tough kid as we have?*4"

In the win over Whittief, the Rams got a big win from Stove Mclsaac in the heavywflght division, as the Wilmington resident pinned his opponent in just 1:13.

"Steve is giving up a lofof weight to these heavyweights, but he keeps battling them," Donovan said. "He hangs in there in every match. • His record this year is about 1644 which is very good when you consider that he is sometimes giving up 70 pounds to the kids he is wrestling against." • **

The lopsided nature of the victory over Whittier was a good indication of the RaTrhs depth, as they had five- 'jty wrestlers competing in' the match..

"Even with five JV's we were still able to dominate," Donovan said. "That is a Huge thing for our program. We are no longer just a team, we are a program, and we are a.pro- gram that can win every ygar. Kids will come to this school to have the opportunity Xo wrestle at the Division 1 level. I will hang my hat on that. We can compete with anybody/?,

The Rams were set to take-on non-league rival Billerica'on Wednesday night to wrap>0p their regular season and .they will then head back' ■ to Billerica High on Saturday.for the Division 1 North Sectional Tournament.

Wrestling team takes fourth place at GAL tourney .■ By JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor NORTH ANDOVER - The wy young Wilmington High westling team has continued

/i. o climb the potential mountain •ather quickly. On Saturday, he Wildcats finished in fourth

. dace, scoring 115.5 points in he Cape Ann League Championship Meet.

' North Andover, who hosted the meet, walked away as the rneet champs once again with an incredible 260 points.

'."' T thought we did very, very well," said head coach Mike Pbnental. "We're young, so the gams are huge and you see than very often. We're really peaking at the right time. It deems like we're putting every- thing together at the right time. We looked real good this week- end.''

if Wilmington had four place > finishers, with sophomore Steve • Sughrue as the lone champion. He pinned North Andover's Cory Nault at the 2:54 mark to capture the 103-pound division. He.' also was awarded the

■.wrestler with the quickest amount of pins on the day, with three coming in a span of 5:13.

The big news came at the 171

pound division where Kirk Wayshville went to the final, before losing to Hamilton- Wenham's Joe Vanni, 6-0.

"He placed second and that was his first medal ever," said Pimental. This was his first final and we're all very happy for him. He had a real good day. Kirk is a kid who we've known whose had it but hadn't gotten to where he needed to be and this weekend he got there. I think he's on his way to having a really good post season."

At 145 pounds, John Tranfaglia and at 215 pounds, Kenny Joyce both finished in third place. Tranfaglia pinned Hamilton-Wenham's Adam Hammdorff at the 2:35 mark in the consolation final, and Joyce had to wrestle two extra match- es because of a schedule mix up and went on to beat Salem's Garrett Cauley, twice, with the last one actually counting at the 2:56 mark.

"John Tranfaglia lost in the quarterfinals (putting in the consolation bracket) because he didn't open up and he was a little timid," said Pimental. "He faced (Hammdorff) and ended up losing 11-8, and then he faced him again for third and

1 that's good that I wrestle my oWn weight. It was really hard

. giving up all of that weight. It just seemed like I was bumping up weight classes and kids I should have beat I would lose too because they were so much stronger than me.

"I went to Penn State for a neutral camp and that's really helped me. I was scored on a lot last year (in the neutral posi- tion) but I haven't been scored on in the neutral position this whole season."

. Added Pimental, "He was hard to score on period. He's so tenacious and such a scrappy little kid. He's better this year in neutral and it's good that he feels more comfortable. I think last year he got manhandled

' just out of size. It's good to know that he feels more com- fortable now on his feet, but I think he can battle with anyone (when he's on his feet)."

Sughrue had a small lead before Nault chose to take bot- tom. From there, Sughrue was able to defend very well, hold- ing Nault off and turning him to his side, before eventually pin- ning him.

"I was pretty excited," he said. "To be a Cape Ann League champion as a sopho- more is pretty exciting."

„. Now with the 30-2 record, and four tournament champi- onships - Wilmington Sons of Italy, Haverhill, Framingham and the Cape Ann, not to men-

Vermont - Sughrue and the ; rest of the Wildcats have one

last regular season meet before . the big post season meets come

up over the next three or four > weekends. :j .At the start of the season, i Sughrue admitted that he never ■. thought he would have a season ' hie he's having, but at the • same time quietly had some

lofty goals. I "I never expected this," he ( said. "My Dad (Tim) was say-

ing all of this would happen but | 1 really didn't spend too much , time thinking about it. I figured

I would do the same as I did . last year.

"I hope to win out and be (a , state champion)," he said. | That was my main goal at the

start of the season. I still have •. two more years.to do it, but I ■ would be pretty disappointed if '; I didn't win (a state champi-

onship) and if I lose." After piling up a lot of wins to

start the season, the Wildcats ' took a trip North to Vermont,

and that's when Sughrue suf- fered his first loss, which he said has helped him tremen- dously.

"The first loss was at Mount Anthony," he said. "I had won (the tournament) last year (at % pounds) and I guess I thought I'd just go up there and win it again," he said. "I just got really nervous and didn't wrestle the way I could. That loss really helped me realize that I'm not that good."

Sughrue's family has a long history of athletics. He has three cousins who all wrestle for the talented Methuen High team. His sister Katelyn was an all-scholastic pitcher on the Wildcat softball team, while his brother Tim was a captain of the wrestling team two years and finished sixth at the sec- tionals. This Saturday marks the sectional tournament which will be held at Winchester High. Last year Steve Sughrue finished fifth at the sectional meet and served as an alter- nate of the state meet but never got to compete.

"No one has beaten me from the sectionals so I feel confi- dent going into that meet but I haven't seen a lot of the kids who'll be at the state meet so I really don't know what to expect," he said.

Sughrue has to place within the top four in his weight class on Saturday to advance to the state meet the following week- end. Pimental says that's get- ting too far ahead.

"He has all of the skill in the world to do great things but I want to take it one step at a time," said Pimental. "Once we take those small steps, we can keep evaluating and changing goals. You want people to set goals high enough for some- thing to shoot for - but at the same time you have to get through small goals to get to those big goals.

"He's going in the right direc- tion. Last year he was fifth at the sectionals, and never even participated in the state meet. I'd like him to have his first chance at the big game and then assess after that. I want him to be comfortable and relaxed. He has to realize that he has nothing to lose, and everything to gain because he's a sophomore and because of the great season he's had so far. Whatever he gets from here on out is a great accomplish- ment."

Brogan tops on the balance beam The Fourth-ranked Springfield women's gymnastics team rallied

! for a 184.500 to 183.850 win over fifth-ranked Ithaca Sunday. ' '. Senior Kelly Stevison (Osbourn Park/Manassas, Va.) recorded '. Ithaca.s top individual finish, winning the floor exercise (9.650). : She was second in the all-around (36.750) and tied for third in the I vault (9.450). Senior Crescent Danziger (Wayne Hills/Wayne, N. J.) ; tied third in the vault and fourth in the floor exercise, recording ; season-best scores of 9.450 and 9.500, respectively. ; Sophomore Erin Brogan (Wikningto/Wilmington, Mass.) was • the* Bombers, top finisher in the balance beam, taking fourth

fourth and pinned him because he wasn't timid like he was the first time around.

"And Kenny looked like a man out there. He looked confident and he's really been doing a lot of technique stuff which has really helped him. He ended up wrestling two more matches than he should have but did real well coming back after los- ing in the semifinals (of the winner's bracket)."

Last Wednesday, Wilmington was defeated by Tyngsboro, 39- 33, in the team's dual meet sea- son. Picking up victories via pin for the 'Cats were Mike Mazzei (112), Ryan Kennedy (119), Sean Furlong (125), Anthony Nihan (160), Matt Sullivan (215) and Joyce (285). The loss puts Wilmington at 9-9 on the season, meaning it needs to beat Haverhill in the team's final regular season match which was held on Wednesday night as this paper hit the local stores.

"We have to be on our game," said Pimental. "Haverhill always brings a good team. Up and down they are a tough team to beat. We hope we can come out on top."

If Wilmington defeats

Haverhill, the first round of the Division 3 North sectional dual meet tournament will most likely be next Wednesday on the Valentine's Day. Last year Wilmington defeated Wakefield in the semi-finals of the tourna- ment before losing to Winchester in the sectional final.

Meanwhile, this upcoming weekend, the 'Cats will com- pete at the Division 3 North sectional meet which will begin at 10:00 am on Saturday morn- ing at Winchester High with the finals slated for 6:30 pm.

The following weekend will be the Division 3 state meet which will be held at Wayland High,

starting on Friday night, February 16th and resuming the next day at 10:00 am with the finals also slated to begin around 6:30 pm.

Wilmington High's John Tranfaglia, shown here earlier during the season, finished in third place during the Cape Ann League Championship Meet held on Saturday.

Rock 'n Roll legend coming to Burlington

Grace Slick

i

!

By PAUL FEELY

If you're planning on head- ing to Burlington next week to see rock and roll legend Grace Slick when she comes to town to display her artwork, there are three things you should know going into the meet and greet: she is just as opinionated as she ever was during the psychedelic 60s, she has no desire to get back into the music business as it exists today, and she whole- heartedly agrees with Rolling Stone magazine's proclamation that Jefferson Starship's hit 'We BUillTOU City' (on which she sang) is one of the worst songs of all time. And yes, she does paint White Rabbits.

Wentworth Gallery will be home to an art exhibit and sale

by artist and famed Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship singer and song- writer Grace Slick next week. A symbol of the psychedelic cul- ture of the turbulent 60's, Slick will showcase her original paintings of rock and roll leg- ends and expertly rendered Alice in Wonderland drawings at two special appearances at the Wentworth Galleries on Saturday, February 17th in Burlington (in the Burlington Mall) and on Sunday, February 18th in Chestnut Hill. Both appearances are open to the public and free of charge-

Slick is already looking for- ward to the trip, despite the frigid temperatures locally at the moment.

"I love coming to Boston, as long as I don't have to drive,"

joked Slick. "Seriously, I love that city. There is so much his- tory there."

Slick and Jefferson Airplane, who recorded some of the most noted classic rock songs of all time including White Rabbit and Somebody to Love, is no stranger to fans of music histo- ry herself. The band epitomized the San Francisco music scene of the mid-to-late Sixties, and in 1996 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"It's nice to know that people still enjoy the music today," said Slick. "At these appearances I've been making at galleries, you get the people who were obviously fans of the music when it was first being made, who are of that age bracket, but you also get the younger kids. That always blows my mind, because I'm not sure where they're picking up on it, but there's always a wide range of ages represented at these things, which is great."

Grace Slick was born on October 30,1939, in Evanston, a Suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Her father was an investment banker and her mother was a singer. After moving to Southern California in the mid 40's, they finally settled in Palo Alto, CA.

Grace stayed in the Bay Area until she left to attend Finch College in New England. She later attended the university of Miami and studied art before returning to San Francisco shortly before she joined her first band, the Great Society, in 1965. After a short time, Grace

A SYMBOL OF THE PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE OF THE TURBULENT 60S, GRACE SLICK will showcase her original paintings of rock and roll legends and expertly rendered Alice in Wonderland drawings at two special appearances at the Wentworth Galleries on Saturday, February 17th in Burlington (in the Burlington Mall) and on Sunday, February 18th in Chestnut Hill.

and some of her fellow band mates formed the legendary group Jefferson Airplane and went on to record some of the most noted classic rock songs, including White Rabbit and Somebody to Love.

"Those were special times, and I have no regrets about any- thing," said Slick. "Jefferson Airplane holds a special place in some people's hearts, and for that I'm grateful. I was never a fan of the production part of the business, but I loved going out on the road and seeing all the people and places. I was always very good at picking up and moving from place to place."

Over the next 20 years, Grace continued to become an icon of popular culture, music, and a new generation through her sig- nature style and outspoken pres- ence.

Over the years, Grace and her band mates took several forms including Jefferson Starship, Starship, and for Grace, several solo albums with Paul Kantner, while always remaining a touchstone in Rock and Roll, though to this day she thinks the recording of 'We built this City" was a mistake.

"That song never made any sense to me," said Slick. "I mean, it was written by two Europeans, supposedly about London, but here we were, from San Francisco, and that city certainly wasn't built on rock and roll. I mean, I have always felt you have to believe in what you're singing. I would probably agree with Rolling Stone that it's one of the worst songs ever, but I went along with it because I was trying to be a good girl, because I was showing up late for things, and not making it at all for others."

In 1989, Grace put down the microphone for the very last time and without missing a beat, she picked up the paint- brush. Where she once

expressed her insightful obser- vations of the world through her voice, she is now speaking through her paintings.

"I got out of a relationship with a guy in the early Nineties who liked to shove people around," said Slick. "Once I was out of that I started seriously getting into the painting, both as a hobby but also as a way to make a living, because let's face it, this is a business, just like the music industry is a business, where you have to fig- ure out what people want to buy."

In 2000, Grace began sharing her works with the world in art exhibitions. Since that time, Grace Slick's art has been shown in some of the most revered galleries and similar to her music, has attracted a devoted following of art collec- tors who have found the same power on her canvas as once was in her music. When Grace is not traveling to art openings around the world, she lives and paints in her Malibu, CA, home.

Over the last 17 years, Slick has dedicated all of her energy to her artwork and amassed an

impressive collection of paint- ings, limited editions. 2nd drawings. Her portraits of friends including Jim Morrison. Janis Joplin, and Pete Townshend reflect her inner circle and the times in which she commanded the stage, while others reflect the land- scape and characters from 'Alice in Wonderland", the set- ting for one of her most famous songs, White Rabbit.

"I use photographs to st;irt the outline of the portraits, out then I fill in the details based on my own memories ot the per son," said Slick. "Take Jerry Garcia for instance. I think that in almost every photograpli there is of him. he looks stupid. But he is anything but stupid - he's very intelligent, and 1 tried to show that in his eyes when I painted him."

Slick will be in Burlington Saturday. February 17th, from 6-9 p.m. at the Wentworth Gallery in Burlington. 75 Middlesex Turnpike (Burlington Mall). For more information call 781-272-5010. or visit

"THE QUEEN" PALACE INTRIGUE AT ITS FINEST

"THE QUEEN" GRADE: ****

. The Queen provides a glimpse of the British monarchy at a difficult crossroads, moments that were totally unscripted in the royalty rulebook of etiquette.

• • The movie begins as the newly elected prime minister, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen), arrives at Buckingham Palace for a ceremonial meeting with the queen (Helen Mirren, who might as well head home with the Best Actress Oscar right now), who must formally invite Blair to form a government despite his popular election by the citizenry. Several months after this awkward meeting, while the royal fam- ily is vacationing in their castle in Balmoral, Diana, the divorced Princess of Wales, dies in a car crash in Paris.

The rest of the film con- cerns the queen's inability to understand the people's mas- sive outpouring of grief for Diana, and the people's dis- tress over the royals' appar- ent absence of sorrow or mourning. This disconnect is understood by Blair, who takes it upon himself to entreat the queen to cut short her vacation, return to London, and demonstrate visible signs of mourning. It's an ironic position for him to take, having come into office with a progressive agenda that disdained the monarchy.

We watch the royal family moping around the recesses of their castles, watching the constant footage of them- selves on television and responding unapprehending- ly as the people condem them for standing on ceremo- ny. Mirren is magnificent in the role. Sheen and james

"THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS"

GRADE: **** Imagine living out of a

briefcase, the kind that's probably sitting somewhere in a closet in your home.. For Will Smith's real-life home-

less character, that night- mare has become a reality. He is also toting along a five- year old son.

With the opening caption "inspired by a true story," Smith plays Chris Gardner, a rags-to-riches good guy who often quotes Thomas Jefferson in his pursuit of the American Dream. Taking place in San Francisco in

^

1981, Chris is trying to lead his family - wife Linda (Thandie Newton) and son Christopher (Smith's real-life son Jaden) - from their lower middle class existence in a dingy apartment into the good life.

Chris has sunken the fami- ly savings into becoming the exclusive distributor of a portable bone density scan- ner, a nearly impossible to sell medical device.

Throughout the movie we see Chris huffing along with one of the machines seem- ingly glued to his arm. He needs to sell two scanners a month to pay the rent and for the day care of his son cheap facility where Happiness is misspelled. His product is not moving.

Worn out from working double shifts as a waitress, Linda no longer buys into the dream. She heads for New York, leaving her family and their troubles behind. You can imagine the angst that Chris now feels. He can't sell his scanners, he can't pay the rent, and the IRS is closing in for back taxes.

As luck would have it, Chris happens upon a new opportunity He is selected as an unpaid intern for a six- month stockbroker trainee program with Dean Witter. There is no guarantee of a position upon successful completion.

Through a series of mishaps, Chris ends up homeless. After going through the demanding rig- ors of the internship during the day, Chris has to run like the wind to collect Christopher from day care to get in line for a bed in a homeless shelter. Some nights they are successful; other nights they are not. A public restroom shelters them on one harrowing night.

I sat throughout the film wondering how much worse things could get for Chris. We know there is a happy ending, but the journey there is a rather bumpy road. Throughout it all Will Smith

gives the performance of a lifetime. There is one poignant scene where he tells his son, "Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something. Not even me. You've got a dream; you've got to protect it. You want something, you go get it. Period."

Feeling down on your luck? It's guys like Chris Gardner who will make you appreciate the American Dream.

"THE HITCHER" GRADE: **

There are few good horror directors working in films

hard tro understand why anyone would hand him the reins of a horror remake. It opens with a young couple nearly running over a hitch- hiker one rainy night and then fleeing the scene rather than stopping to see if he's OK.

It turns out they made the right decision, for when he catches up with them at a gas station ...- well, I don't want to give too much away, even if this is a remake of the 1986 slasher flick of the same name. Meyers quickly leaves behind any semblamce of dread and

This year's event offers the excitement of a visit from "Elmo" from TV's Elmo's World and an Airbot demon- stration of a radio controlled helicopter.

There will be food, a raffle and face painting and fun. Once again the food tent will offer winter favorites such as hot chowder and Chill, coffee, cocoa and more. Visitors to the festival are encouraged to par- ticipate in the "Tax Time raf- fle". The grand prize is $250 in Tax preparation from H & R Block.

"This works because of the many volunteers and North Reading companies who give their time and donate supplies or raffle prizes. Many thanks to all our neighbors, town officials and local businesses."

Never tooTate (Reading)

"The Reading Memorial High School SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions} Chapter with 40 members strong, has launched a sticker shock pro- ject targeting adults in the area," notes the Reading edi- tion of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"The stickers are designed to be placed on multi-packs of alcoholic beverages and on paper bags used at liquor stores. In addition to the stickers, stores are given the option of placing a sign, identical to the sticker but larger, in the window or at the check-out counter.

"The sticker project is part of a cooperative effort between the RMHS SADD group and the MADD Massachusetts Youth in Action sticker shock project hoping to raise awareness among adults who may be interested in providing alco- hol to their underage peers. They are hoping that this project will engage adults and get them to think twice about providing alcohol to anyone under 21.

"The purpose of sticker shock is to raise awareness among adults in the commu- nity,' said Gary Nihan, the Coordinator of Health and Wellness of the Reading Public Schools. 'The youth involved with this project are very dedicated and con- cerned that adults readily provide alcohol to their underage peers and they do not want this practice to con- tinue.'

"The students began the sticker shock project at Atlantic Food Mart and trav- eled to each liquor store in Reading including Busa Liquors, Square Liquors and The Wine Shop. Each liquor store has been more than

willing to assist in this initia- tive and has pledged to con- tinue their strong effort to prevent underage procure- ment of alcohol..."

Never too early (Winchester)

"Town Manager Mel Kleckner said in a budget memo to the Board of Selectmen that many diffi- cult choices are going to be required in fiscal 2008," notes the Winchester edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"That means reductions, cutting personnel primarily, combined with increasing fees, and moving as many services off the budget as possible. It means less money for the school budget It includes making such pro- grams as the Recreation Department and the transfer- station as near to 100 percent self-sustaining as possible, including all energy and per- sonnel costs.

"The projection continues to be a fiscal 2008 shortfall of more than $2.5 million, as expenses continue to expand at a greater rate than rev- enue.

"'The $2.5 million budget shortfall is a daunting one that will require many diffi- cult choices,' Kleckner said. 'In response to this chal- lenge, I instructed all munici- pal departments to identify reductions in their current budget level by 10 percent.'

"'This was done as an exercise to identify possible reductions and opportunities rather than an across-the- board strategy.'

"'In fact, I am targeting budget reductions on a more strategic basis, using priori- ties of public health and safe- ty, financial obligations and liability and revenue produc- ing capacity as criteria to pursue reductions.'

"'This is not to say that

there will not be reductions in departments that meet these criteria. In fact, most departments will suffer some reduction in staffing and/or in overtime that supplements staffing.'

"AH departments will experience reductions in expense items that fund equipment, materials and services. The overall amount I am targeting from this exercise is $500,000....'"

Right on time (Tewksbury)

"The next director of the Tewksbury Public Library has begun her work in town as Interim Assistant Director," notes the "Tewksbury Town Crier."

"Jen Hinderer, hired from the Amesbury Public Library where she was Assistant Director, will take over as Director when current Director Elisabeth Desmarais retires on March 5.

"Hinderer worked in Amesbury for eight years where she developed pro- grams aimed al populations previously underserved by the library. One program in

particular had Hinderer working closely with the director of the Amesbury Senior Center bringing deliv- eries of books to homebound seniors. She also served d"n the Library Study Committee in Amesbury, an experience that gives her a great appre ciation for Tewksbury's new library.

"First learning of

Tewksbury's directorship opening from the Board of Library Commissioner's web site, Hinderer applied in August and interviewed far the position in October.

"'I was interested becaase Tewksbury is about twice the size of Amesbury, but it sj.ill has that small town feeling. It (the library) is heavily used and well supported.. It was a great spot for me and my first directorship,' said Hinderer in an interview...."

Changes at Burlington High : "Courses centering on computer technology, art, and health may undergo some changes, as Burlington High Principal Linda Hayes presented to the School Committee recently the pro- posed 2007-2008 Program of Studies," notes the Burlington edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"This is an annual report, and Hayes proposes changes based on student enrollment and trends, relevant to cer- tain courses. It was given to the school board as a first reading; the School Committee was expected to vole on it at their next meet- ing.

"The changes reflect the interests of students, and ongoing changes in the cur- riculum,' Hayes told the School Committee.

"One such change, Hayes staled, is that beginning with I he ('lass of 2011, a computer technology requirement will be eliminated.

"'That is because some computer technology is ■embedded across the cur- riculum,' Hayes told the School Committee.

"There are classes that meet the computer technolo- gy requirement - college accounting and media pro- duction, Hayes stated in her report. Some graphic design courses also meet the requirement..."

New resource at Woburn High

"The city's School Committee recently stressed that its calls for a WMHS resource officer had nothing to do with an unsafe environ- ment at the new high school," notes the Woburn edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"During the most recent gathering of the educational board, School Committee member Michael Mulrenan updated his counterparts on a public discussion with the City Council on the possibili- ty of creating the police post at the new WMHS.

"According to Mulrenan, the Alderman received the idea well during that previ- ous meeting, in which sever- al School Committee mem- bers updated the City Council on the happenings within the district.

"'Hopefully, we'll get an update on that,' Mulrenan said, referring to ongoing discussions between the Mayor, school officials, the City Council and Police Chief Philip Mahoney.

"Welcoming the progress toward creating the post, School Committee member Dr. John Wells, who has advocated for a resource offi- cer on numerous occasions, argued that the public has been receiving an unclear message about the reasons for creating the new police post.

"Specifically, Wells referred to several past dis-

cussions about the resource officer where mention of dis- ciplinary issues and at least one early year brawl were made.

"Although Wells acknowl- edged that there have been some fights within the school this year, he scoffed at the inference that the resource officer was being placed within the building to quell that violence.

"According to the School Committee member, besides the incident at the outset of the year, most of the alterca- tions and issues at the high school have been no different than the types of teenaged disputes that have been going on in every high school for decades...."

Coach of the year at Wilmington High

"When Jay Keane was brought in as the new Wilmington High girls bas- ketball coach in the summer of 2005, one of the things he said he wanted to bring to the table was 'stability,'" notes the "Wilmington Town Crier."

"He added that 'I think it's tough for girls to go through different coaches and differ- ent systems. I plan on being (at Wilmington) for a long time.'

"He may only have one year under his belt as a head coach, but he's brought much more than just stabili- ty to this program in a short matter of time.

"Some may say that Keane took over a team that was handed to him, talent- wise. But that's when you have to take a look at the numbers and accomplish- ments he endured from late November of 2005 to March of 2006 and realize that it's terrific coaching - giving the kids the proper guidance, confidence and tutelage - that made the ultimate dif- ference.

"It's being able to relate to the kids that made Keane succeed....

"Keane comes across pret- ty simple in his philosophies. He says work hard and good things will come. His strate- gy is to run the floor, run the floor even more and get

freedom, but then will put down the stop sign when needed.

"Those simple but very strong steps, is what helped this team not only post the 16 regular season wins, but win the Watertown Christmas Tournament, win seven games in a row, and knock off Stoneham in the tourna- ment, while giving Ipswich a run for its money in the next round..."
