A community rallies Joe Bamberg Day raises over $40,000

by James Pole On an otherwise cold and dreary

autumn Sunday, the people of Wil- mington came together to support an injured son in an inspiring show of community spirit and selflessness that will long we remembered as one of the greatest days the town has ever seen.

It was Joe Bamberg Day - a day full of smiles and well-wishes that brought more than 1,000 runners, walkers, volunteers and friends to help out the 16-year-old Wilming- ton High School junior who was paralyzed in a freak accident this past summer in Chicago.

It was truly a day for all involved, for all who call Wilmington home, to remember.

And at the close of the seven-hour day of fund-raising, the Bamberg family was presented with a large poster drawn up like a check and made out for $40,000. In fact, even more was raised. People were still calling in to the Town Crier phone- a-thon with donations at that time and people dropped by on Monday with contributions as well.

The togetherness that the town showed and shared for Bamberg, a student-athlete who had starred in goal as a sophomore for boys soccer coach Dick Scanlon, was above and beyond what anyone had expected, including Bamberg himself.

"This is unbelievable,'' Bamberg said of the community's response. "It's just great. It's nice to know that everyone cares. I'm making a lot of progress and this really will help."

"It took me 20 minutes to get across [the parking lot to the high school] and there was a mob of people just to see me. It's weird to think that all of these people are here to see me. I just can't thank them enough," he said.

The entire Bamberg family, father Dan, mother Beth and their five other children, seemed awed by the entire day's proceedings. Dan Bam- berg couldn't give enough thanks to everyone involved.

"It's hard to put into words just how much we all want to thank everyone. This was going to be a success no matter how much money came in - the entire community pulled together, supported and accomplished more than anyone could have expected," said Dan Bamberg.

"It's just unbelievable. It just shows that the town has so many great people with such big hearts

and they rally around anyone who needs help. So many people put in so much time and effort and we just can't thank them enough," Bamberg continued.

"It's a great feeling that people would come out and spend their time. Initially, it was really tough to take, but time heals everything. Our kids have been great, and everybody has been so supportive from the community."

Indeed, the entire Joe Bamberg Day was a success, money notwith- standing. It was very well organi-

zed and that was mainly due to the Friends for Joe Committee, which put in a lot of time and effort for this entire day to run as smoothly and successfully as it did.

The committee consisted of WHS Athletic Director Jim Gillis along with WHS girls soccer coach Sue Hendee, Christine and Paul Lacey, Paul Movsesian, Laura and Steve Parsons, Laura Stinson and Helen Engdahl.

Said Gillis in the presentation of the $40,000 check to the Bamberg family. "Joe, I wish I had your courage - we all wish we had your courage. I know I don't have it. Joe, you and your family have brought this community together.

"I can't thank all of the people who were involved with this," Gillis continued. "The committee did an excellent job, as did many other people, such as [Town Manager] Mike Caira; [DPW Superintendent] Bob Palmer and his crew; Bobby Shelley and all of the volunteer police officers; Fire Chief Dan Stewart and his crew; Superintendant Geraldine O'Donnell; the Wilmington School Committee; the food services people headed up by Ann Quinn and her assistant volunteers; all of the different organizations who donated different things; the 40 different teachers who volunteered their time and all of the businesses who made donations. I can't thank all of you enough for making this such a great day."

Stinson also praised the community response.

"It has been a wonderful community effort and we have had an enor- mous turnout. It has been just fantastic. We wanted to do something that was a community effort, and it has been really great," Stinson said.

Medical costs for the Bamberg family have run close to $250,000. Some of that has been covered by the family's insurance but this addi-

tional $40,000 means a lot to the family.

"It was expected that $20,000 would be brought in and I couldn't even believe that. To think that the town helped out and brought $40,000 to us is really unbelievable," said Dan Bamberg.

Other than the three different races, the other events consisted of a raffle that sold 3,500 tickets and included many donated prizes, including a $300 shopping spree and Boston Bruins and Celtics tickets.

There was also a spaghetti dinner as well as a bake sale. And Wilming- ton native and Chicago White Sox pitcher Jason Bere signed autographs on everything from pic- tures to race numbers to hats and balls for everyone who could afford to give a couple of bucks to the Bamberg cause.

"Dick Scanlon called me when Joe was first injured to see if I could go visit him in the hospital since he was close by. I didn't get a chance to see

him because we were on a long road trip," Bere said. "But, when I came home I saw all of the flyers and I called Dick to see if there was anything I could do to help. I haven't met him yet, but from what I have heard he is a great, great kid and I'm really looking forward to meeting him."

Bere did just that when he was introduced to Bamberg for a WCTV interview conducted by Dan Bam- berg.

Also in attendance were WCVB- TV Channel 5 correspondent An- thony Everett. On Friday. WBZ- TV Channel 4's Dan Rea also was at the high school.

The activities started at noon with the races getting underway at 1:30. Beforehand, hundreds of friends gathered around to share their thoughts on the unique day.

"I'm very impressed with all of these people that came out to help Joe," said 1984 WHS graduate Gar- ry Josephson, who is also parlayzed. Josephson sustained his injuries in a motorcycle accident five months ago.

"I was in the next hospital room as Joe was in the Woburn Rehabilation Center and we have become really good friends," continued Josephson, who left the hospital for a day to show his support for his friend.

"I was really jealous that he knows as many people as he does - he had 23 girls in his room at one time," Josephson continued.

Another one of Joe's friends, Scott McBay, also of Wilmington, said "Joe must be quite a guy to get this much attention I wanted Joe to know how good life can be outside of the hospital."

At 1:30. the races began. Town Manager Mike Caira and Superin- tendent of Schools Dr. Geraldine O'Donnell started the races with a shotgun start. Caira said it was fantastic that the town came together to help support the greatest cause ever.

There were three different races. The wheelchair race had just one participant and that was John Thompson of Arlington, who finished the 3.1 mile race in 14:32.

The last two groups were the runners and walkers, who started their events at 1:40 and 1:50, respectively. Many of Joe's schoolmates were involved in the two events.

A WHS graduate, Mick Grant, was the winner in the 3.1 mile run race, finishing with a time of 16:18. He was followed by Wilmington residents Ryan Hoffman, Kevin Kacam- buras, Rory Murphy, Jason Tild- sley, Leah Staffier, Greg Young, Paul Valente, J. Laboissieri and Steve Kosmidis.

But, the races also had many outsiders as well. Tewksbury alone had 12 representatives, including TMHS varsity boys soccer coach Steve Lc vine, who was nipped at the finish line by a few of his soccer players.

As for the 12 finishers from Tewksbury, Dan Dorazio finished first, which was good for eleventh place overall. He was followed by Mary McGrath of the TMHS girls cross country team, whose squad finished second in the state in Divi- sion 3 just a day earlier.

were: Kevin Mahoney, Dave Melo, Dave Clark. Ron Manikowski, Shaun Scafidi, Tejal Patel, Howard Tring, Brian Milner, Dan Mahoney and Chris Bryne.

But, it just wasn't Wilmington and Tewksbury residents in the races. People from all over came down to help out. Whether people came from Burlington or Canton or even Pelham, N.H., there were several communities involved.

Several area D.A.R.E. officers from around the area, including from Tyngsboro, came and volunteered their time, too.

A day and a circumstance that could have easily been marked with

sadness was in fact represented with the total opposite. The entire town came to bat for Joe Bamberg and his family. And throughout the entire day, everyone had a smile on his or her face, including Joe and his fami-

It was a perfect showing for Wil- mington and a perfect example of just what this community is capable of. It was a special day.

Light the Town Christmas Tree with love

by Jeff Nazzaro For a donation to the American

Cancer Society. Wilmington residents can honor or memorialize a loved one who has survived cancer or succumbed to the disease, while also providing funds towards the prevention of cancer and the saving of more victims.

The ACS's "Love Lights a Tree" program is how. and it's also a way to help spruce up the Town Com- mon for the holiday season.

Right now. lights on the common trees are in place in preparation for the tree lighting ceremony, to be held in early December, and ACS ornaments will soon be put up on the large tree at the "point" of the common, where Church Street and Middlesex Avenue join.

Those ornaments are just awaiting the names of those close to you who have battled cancer in one form or another.

"The primary goal is to educate people on how to avoid cancer and for research," said Wilmington As- sistant Town Manager and local Love Lights a Tree chairperson Jeff Hull. "The other goal is really to give people who have lost relatives or loved ones to cancer an opportu-

nity to honor them in a memorable way."

Hull got involved with the ACS and the Love Lights a Tree program in 1991, shortly after his father passed away after battling brain cancer.

Hull will hang the ornaments on the common tree and later, as donations come in, put the names of those being honored or memorialized onto each ornament. Orna- ments will also be sent to those making donations and to the person being honored or the family of those being memorialized.

Hull said last year that close to 175 donations were received. Overall last year, Wilmington residents contributed $500 of the $8,500 raised in the Merrimack Valley area, according to Regional Executive Di- rector Julie Ann Parry. This year the ACS's goal is $10,000. Parry said the average donation came to $16, with gifts ranging from $5- $100.

Donations can be made by calling the ACS in Dracut at 454-0900 Once received, names will be forwarded to Hull, who will place them on ornaments for the tree lighting ceremony.

It's YOUR Money

BY JOYCE BRISBOIS Certifiid Public Accountant

WHY GRANDPA ISN'T GETTING

MARRIED Just when America is getting

used to young people living together without benefit of marriage, along comes the older generation doing the same thing. An estimated 370,000 men and women over 65 live together because they do better financially that way.

Consider Social Security. A widow loses her deceased husband's benefits if she remarries and gets only half of her new husband's benefits. Two singles can have an income of $50,000 before benefits are subject to tax; for a couple the cut off is $32,000.

A homeowner's after 55 exclusion from taxes on $125,000 of the gain on a home is a one time offer. If either spouse took the exclusion before, it's not available now. Two singles each can sell their homes, and they'll pocket $250,000 tax free.

Other issues are pensions that stop on remarriage; savings earmarked for children of the previous marriage; and Medicaid, which might strip assets from a spouse before coverage but not

, from an unmarried partner. \ Brought to you as a public • service by the tax and finance ! people at

Wake up to the 90vs

by Stu Neilson Welcome to the 90's. Wilmington has been living in the 40's for fifty years. We're

half way through the decade and still don't see what is going on around us. It's time to look around and see how the rest of the world does things.

Many of the "Mom & Pop" stores and restaurants around are being driven out by the mega-chains. Not that I have anything against CVS and Osco, Wendys and McDonalds, Market Basket and Purity, or what ever their name is now, but everyone who used to be the backbone of our community is being pushed aside by the giants. We used to have four small owner-operated drug stores. Two are gone. The other two are dreading the opening of another big, do-all, sell-all drug store. Granted, the Osco's of this world really are only trying to compete with the CVS's but the little guys, the friendly druggists who live here, are getting trampled in the process.

But what to do about this? Certainly we cannot legislate against large stores, or pass ordinances prohibiting restaurant chains from opening in town. What we can do, however, is unshackle the operators of those small businesses so that they can compete.

One operator, Rocco DePasquale, has asked for and will get a hearing on the rules concerning the sale of liquor in Wilming- ton. Last Monday, the Wilmington Board of Selectmen voted 3- 2 to hold the public hearing at 9:00 at its next meeting, scheduled for Monday, Nov. 27.

In 1972, thanks largely to Rocco, Wilmington joined the 40's and allowed liquor to be served in restaurants, provided that a bartender mixes the drink and a waitress serves it.

In Woburn and Tewksbury the rules are different, not by much, but enough that a patron can enter a restaurant, sit at the bar, have a sandwich and a beer. Not in Wilmington! Heaven forbid!

What if Rocco's idea came to pass? What would it be like? Make a trip to Tewksbury. Stop in to Maggie McKeever's. Very nice! That's what.

So turn to page seven. Read what Rocco has to say and make up your own mind. And attend the Nov. 27 hearing by selectmen.

Letter to the editor

PACs pack punch

Dear Larz: I'd like to respond to the letter

"One of the Procrastinators" [Nov. 17]. First, let me express my thanks.

1) Thanks for reading the PAC minutes, 2) for sending in $10 to the relaxation raffle, 3) for taking the time to put your thoughts into letter form. Funny that you say you're "not too involved.." Sounds to me like you're doing your part (see 1-3) in the only way you can given your time circumstances.

I sometimes wonder what parents think constitutes involvement. To me, it means anytime you do anything to improve the school's awareness, fund-raising ability, production; educational ability, or general weIIbeing of the populace.

That can be accomplished entirely by one person, in part by one person or by working on a team. It can be done by volunteering, baking, attending functions, making calls, writing letters... the list is endless.

I think when you hear parents complaining about levels of participation, it's the group who does nothing to achieve anything that they are referring to.

For example, everyone can agree that we're all busy. During our recent craft fair, the most simple level of participation would have been buying a cake at DeMoulas and dropping it off at the school for the bake table. The whole process would require a 20-minute investment. You'd like to think we were turning people away. Quite the contrary ... draw your own conclu- sions from it.

I'd also like to address the argu- ment that our taxes should be handling school needs. I agree. Period! It's true. But, it really doesn't matter who dropped the ball, just the fact that it was dropped.

If you need to access blame, god knows there is more than one place to lay it. Misappropriations, federal and state errors, insufficient funding due to poor decisions, the list is endless.

The fact remains constant, howev-

er, that we are our own children's heroes. It's not enough to be labeled a hero, you have to stand up and act like one too. Now, before everyone gets nervous, that does not necessarily mean attending every scheduled meeting. It does, however, mean, in my opinion, doing something (refer to beginning of letter).

The operative word here is participation. It's critical because currently a small group of parents decides what enrichment programs get funded and when; what activities your children will be offered and how often, and a whole host of other life-shaping decisions.

If a decision is being made that affects your child, I would think you'd like a hand in it. This is what the PAC offers. You may not necessarily get your own way or even change a particular vote, but then again, you may just be the one voice who sways the whole group to your vein of thinking.

The other advantage of belonging to a strong group is that 200 parents are heard a whole lot easier than 20 (the opening of the Boutwell is a perfect example).

If I can digress for a moment, we need to mobilize on the space needs issue again. The Boutwell was a perfect bandage but it's on a gaping wound. We need to ask our leaders what the game plan is from here on out. Watch the newsletter and newspaper for a special notified meeting of the PAC to address this issue. We will be heard if we stand together.

I know my children and what I want for them. I will always strive towards that goal. I may not do it in a way with which you agree, but that is the beauty of democracy. We can all have a say and hopefully come to a consensus. When great minds come together, wonders happen.

Won't you join us at the next meeting so we can work together or share ideas? We have lots of common ground and goals via our children. Let's make them realities!

Thanks for listening, Julie DePiano

Well done, Wilmington 1 JOE BAMBERG DAY was a

rousing success, showcasing the tremendous sense of community that thrives in Wilmington.

Representatives from every facet of the community - athletes, students, politicians, police officers, families, friends, neighbors and relatives - united for a single cause and exceeded everyone's expecta- tions.

The Bamberg family (photo at right), front row, left to right, Danielle. 7, Joe, 16, Andy, 9 1/2 and Jonathan, 12; back row, Beth, Peter, 14, Marty, 3 1/2 and Dan, was presented with a poster-sized check for $40,000, the minimum amount raised during the seven-hour benefit for Joe, who was paralyzed after a freak accident this spring.

The smiles are not just there for the benefit of the camera pointed in their faces - they were there all day, and not just on the faces of the Bamberg's but on each and every one of the more than 1,000 faces present.

Joe, who shook at least that many hands and had close to that many cameras stuck in his face, had the biggest smile of anyone this day, all day, his day, Joe Bamberg Day, given him by the people of Wilmington and the Friends For Joe Committee.

Letters to the editor

Diligent response Tewksbury remembers

Dear Larz: Many times I have been tempted to

respond to some of the letters in your paper, mainly because I have an opposing view. After having read the letter entitled "Mental Pro- crastination" (Nov. 16), temptation has gotten the better of me.

Let me begin by saying that I do attend almost every PAC meeting, participate in all the fund-raisers, and volunteer my valuable time in my children's schools on a regular basis.

In fact, sometimes I have a difficult time deciding where my priori- ties lie. Do 1 stay home and be there for my children when they need help with their homework, or do I attend a meeting at the school, where hopefully I can help make a positive contribution to their education? The decision is never easy, but one I'm sure we have all battled with at one time or another.

Knowing how much time and effort I have devoted to the education of my children, as well as all the children at their schools, the tone of the "procrastinator's" letter offends me. Procrastination is something we are all guilty of at one time or another, but speaking for myself, it is rarely at the expense of my children.

The idea of fund raising to en- hance the education of our children has been around for years, and I

have no problem with that. How- ever, for many families, financial stress makes it very difficult for them to reach into their wallets every time someone comes knocking.

Regardless of whether I have money or not, what right does anyone (other than my spouse) have to tell me to think about how I spend it? Am I to feel guilty now every time I decide to spend "$7-$10" on video rentals for my children? I should think not!

I do think fund raising is important to our children's education. However, money isn't everything, and I resent being made to feel like it is the only effective way I can contribute to my children's education.

I believe that in all the years I have been involved in the schools, I have contributed much more than money can buy. and I will continue to do so until my children graduate.

By the way, I am one of those "parents whose children are in their

last year of school." And yes, while my children benefited "from fundraisers of [the] previous students and those before that," so to have yours and others benefited fro the many fund-raisers my children have participated in over the years.

Name withheld upon request P.S. This is the only time I will

respond regarding this issue.

Dear Larz: I want to thank the Town of

Tewksbury for the continuing effort to recognize their veterans.

My father grew up in Tewksbury and was killed in World War II. As a child I recall visiting the square named in his memory.

Recently. I traveled to Tewksbury with my daughter and I was pleasantly surprised to find beautiful brick planters and signs commem- orating the nine soldiers killed in

World War II. We visited the monument on the ;

common and we were impressed by I the new inverted pyramid sculpture^ recognizing all town residents who*S served. |,

Many thanks to those who have i donated time and effort to create^ j and maintain these memorials. Al- though I cannot remember my father, I'm happy that Tewksbury does.

Sincerely, Janet Flynn Robie

Daughter of Walter J. Flynn

Railroads blowing hot air

Don't blow it, Wilmington

Dear Larz: A letter to the residents of

Wilmington: At 7 p.m. on November 27, the

meeting of the Board of Selectmen, in the Town Hall auditorium, will have as its first agenda item the Committee to Ban Train Horns in Wilmington to meet with Congressman Peter Torkildson in an attempt to gain his support to override the Federal government's decision to implement an unnecessary and unjustified mandate to sound high decible train horn blasts at every grade crossing in every city and town in the country. Also attending will be Representative Miceli and Senator Tarr.both of whom have been

strong supporters of our past efforts and are continuing to work toward having all grade crossings gated, as well as protecting the law passed in June 1995 against train horns in Wilmington.

We've worked hard and enjoyed some successes. We've proven our case to both local and State government, and now we intend to take on the Federal level. To win, we need you with us. This is the time to attend and speak up. Take family, friends and neighbors. You have you voices and your votes - use them wisely.Please plan to attend this all important meeting and show your support for the people who have worked for you on this issue.

Brenda Irwin and Suzan Foy

Dear Larz: One of the biggest hoaxes bein'

perpetrated on the public today is the issue of sounding bells and whistles at railroad crossings, the rail officials attend our meetings and speak of public safety. It's a subter- fuge! It's a magic show consisting of smoke and mirrors, and yes, bells and whistles, designed to fool the public.

They are hiding the fact that they are a 20th century (almost 21st century) provider of transportation operating with 19th century equipment and a 19th century mentality!

What good are bells and whistles, to warn of the train's approach, if the driver of an oncoming car has his 200-watt stereo cranked or a child is listening to the latest rap on his headphones as he or she walks along the sidewalk?

The aircraft/airline industry, in this country, started in 1903 at Kittyhawk, S.C. and 66 years later, in 1969, put Neil Armstrong on the moon! Do we sound bells and whistles at Logan prior to landing an air- plane?

The railroads began around 1823 and 172 years later they have barely made the transition from steam to

dicscl! You could go on and on speaking ». j

of the billions of dollars spent on ,' j safety by airlines, automotive, and the seagoing shipping industry, on- board computers, radar, satellite y» tracking systems, etc.

We have sensors buried in our *-*' roads to regulate our traffic lights. "•*.; You can buy a car. today, with a v distress system that is activated by ,' ! the push of a button. A satellite -'■ picks up your signal, transmits your V,' location to a ground facility and dis- ». > patches help to you in minutes! '*

Finally, tell our elected officials to - i demand that the railroads upgrade their safety systems and prepare for the 21st century, in the same way that they require it of the rest of the transportation industry!

Let's use our imagination and our ' technology:

• Sensors at crossings transmitting j data to the train engineer that some- >t I thing is obstructing the track.

• Sensors on the tracks electroni-» cally activating illuminated warning * ■ signs on the roadside at the crossing \ and at some reasonable interval down the road. s\

The possibilities are endless! v

The hell with bells and whistles! >!

"A huge success ff

Dear Larz: Boswell's Century 21. French's The eighth Applefest Craft Fair Restaurant, Rapid Reproductions,

was a huge success, due to the Sal's Just Pizza, and Tewksbury support of many volunteer parents Hardware. It is the combined efforts and local businesses. We would iitetsjff these many people and school to thank the more than 50 parents personnel that make this fair so who helped out on the day of the fair and the many more who sold raffle tickets and baked goods before hand.

We would also like to thank the following businesses for their contributions: Anastasia Curtains and Gifts. Andover Bank, J.

successful and ongoing. All money raised from this fair is

used as scholarship money to be given out at the time of graduation. The seniors can think of it as a gift from the parents of their school.

6 TOWN CRIER, NOVEMBER 22, 1995

Have you written any good books lately?

Wilmington's Library Director contributed to this one by Karen Miethe

Wilmington Memorial Library Director Sarah L. Rueter is one of 200 writers, critics, and artists who have contributed to a new book called, "Children's Books and Their Creators."

The book is set up like an encyclopedia, and contains more than 800 entries on some of the best writers and illustrators of children's fiction to come out of the 20th century.

According to Rueter, "The book was conceived as one that would appeal to lay people as well as to teachers, librarians, and critics."

Rueter was contacted about two years ago by longtime acquaintance Anita Silvey. who is the editor of "Children's Books and Their Crea- tors."

"I got to choose from a list of authors and illustrators to write about, and so I chose five that appealed to me when I was a child, and

those that appealed to my own children," said Rueter.

In less than 18 months, Rueter did a lot of research and wrote bio-bib- liographical essays on: L. Frank Baum, the author of "The Wizard of Oz;" Boutet de Monvel. who was a French painter and illustrator; L. Leslie Brooks, a British author and illustrator; Hilairc Belloc, a British writer and poet; and Maud and Miska Petersham, who were Ameri- can authors and illustrators.

"I loved doing it," Rueter said. "There was a lot of research involved. I was able to get a hold of a lot of criticisms from here [Wilming- ton Memorial Library] and through interlibrary loans."

Rueter was able to use the resources of the Havcrhill and Lowell libraries, as well as other libraries in the area. The only time she was forced to find documents she needed outside of the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium, was when she

had to use the Boston Public Li- brary to look up old articles on art done by de Monvel.

"There is not a lot written about him," she said.

Although it was a lot of hard work, Rueter feels it was all worth it. "Seeing it in print, I'd love to do it all over again," she smiles.

"Children's Books and Their Creators" was published in 1995 by Houghton-Mifflin and is available to be taken out at the Wilmington library. The book includes two detailed

indices in the back, one for the list of contributors, the other a general index. There is also a reading list in the front that lists some of the best written and illustrated works for children. The list is broken down into categories for small children to young adults, and there are also specific subjects like Fantasy, and Animal Stories.

Detailed color illustrations are also included in the book from such classic works as "Where the Wild Things Are," and "Treasure Is- land."

In addition to her contribution to "Children's Books and Their Crea- tors," Rueter has recently been appointed to the Horn Book Magazine. Council as a special advisor. The Horn Book Magazine is a journal of criticisms dedicated to children's books.

Previous writings by Reuter" include an introduction to Elizabeth Spykman's "The Wild Angel" in 1981; an introduction to Elizabeth Goudge's "Linnets and Valerians" in 1981; "Research Collections of Children's Books in New England" with Priscilla Moulton and Ruth Hayes in "Phaedrus," in 1976, and audiovisual reviews for Preview Magazine.

(508)851-3220 Learning is something children do... while they're having

fun! That's the philosophy of the Li'l Red Schoolhouse and, at this school, the children have lots of fun!

At Li'l Red, each child receives close, personal attention. Teachers and staff encourage the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of every child through developmentally appropriate curriculum and teaching methods. Li'l Red understands the pressures, challenges, and changes that affect each child, in and away from school, which is why Li'l Red Schoolhouse's approach and philosophy work so well with children and families.

Li'l Red Schoolhouse enrolls students in nursery, full- day or extended-day preschool, full day kindergarten, and various enrichment programs from ages 2 years 9 months to 14 years.

In the summer, the Summer Explorer's Camp is

available for children ages 6 to 14 years. This year's theme is "America, from all walks of life." The children will find out about what makes the United States and North America so very special by learning about our Native and Early Americans, Creepy Crawlers, Endangered Species and even the White House Ghosts! Students aged 12-14 can participate in a "Counselor in Training" program which enables them to help plan or run activities with the younger children.

The L'il Red Schoolhouse is located at 1503 Andover Street, Tewksbury. For more information, call Executive Director Alice Juchnevics-Kontos at (508) 851-3220.

Stelio's Family Restaurant, 144 Lowell St • 658-9782 A reputation for good food is hard to get. A reputation for good food

like Stelio's Restaurant is really hard to get. For years the best way to give directions to Wilmington to a resident of eastern Massachusetts has been: "Go to Stelio's..." and continue from there. It's more than just good food and plenty of it.

The Katsikis family started their restaurant in 1978 in the old Sun- nyhurst building. Only weeks before, the previous owner lamented that it was impossible tc run a successful restaurant in the old building. But the day Stelio's opened, it was impossible to get a seat. TbfS line went outside, and around the comer. The seafood was fantastic!

After a fire gutted the building in 1980, a new restaurant was built with plenty of seating. Stelios can now seat more than 100 hungry customers at a time.

The expansion brought a larger menu, too. You'll find Italian, Greek, seafood and American favorites, all at prices that will please you.

One of the best reasons to run a business in Wilmington is the quality of the employees you can hire. Stelio's has a staff of local people who, with out a doubt, arc the friendliest waitresses in the area. You get a real feeling of being at home, except you don't have to do the dishes! Many of the waitress have been there for years, seven, ten and even seventeen years!

Breakfast at Stelio's is a tradition for many local construction workers. You'll see the trucks as you drive in. Sundays, however, arc different. The trucks are replaced by dozens and dozens of family cars. Thanksgiv-

- ■

TOWN CRIER, NOVEMBER 22, 1995

Boy, it's tough enough putting the lights on your tree in the your living room. Try working fifty feet up in a bucket truck with a tangled mess of wire and the wind blowing up your back at 38 degrees. That's what Wilmington's Bob Allen does

< every year decorating the town common. Every year someone comes up with another string of lights, too. That make is all "» the prettier and all the more work for Bob. So as you struggle with the tinsel on your tree, think of Bob, perhaps even invite

him over for a cup of eggnog, and ask him to bring his bucket truck, (photo by Jeff Nazzaro, safe on the ground)

Stone's in the Garden Choosing the right indoor plant... for the backyard gardener

by Jackie Leszczak-Stone Not all outdoor gardeners are in-

terested in house plants and the re- verse is true for indoor gardening enthusiasts. But when the winter winds howl, even the most diehard vegetable gardeners may need to get their thrills from an African violet or pothos plant.

Choosing a house plant requires that many of the same questions be asked as when choosing a tree or shrub for an outside location. Is the location shady or sunny? Is it full or partial sun? What is it's temperature and water requirements?

The answers to these questions depend mostly on the location the plant will occupy in your home. For best results, consider plants whose native habitats match the microclimate conditions in the location it will occupy in your home.

This doesn't mean that you must recreate the conditions of the Ama- zon Jungle. In fact, many rain forest plants will do well in your home. They are acclimated to a shady life, protected from the scalding rays of the sun by a canopy of trees.

It does remind us, however, that plants evolve in a specific environment, and may or may not be able to adapt to the conditions in our homes. Most homes, unless you have a green house or full southern exposure, can provide only low to moderate light intensity for house plants.

This is ideal for most of the lower tier jungle plants and these have become the most popular house plants. Pothos vine (Scindapsus), Philoden- dron, Mother-in-Law's Tongue (Sansevieria), Dumb Cane (Dieffen- bachia) and many fern varieties fall into this category. They can tolerate low to moderate light, moderate to warm temperatures and require regular watering.

For that rare sunny and warm location, consider some of the more

demanding house plants, like hibis- cus, Madagascar jasmine (Stephano- tis or Bougainvillea vine). These can provide a winter filled with colorful or fragrant flowers.

Another key to winter house plant culture is to provide sufficient water and/or routing misting to plants that have high water requirements. Winter winds and cold temperatures result in very low humidity.

Plants such as Aralia, Chlorophy- tum (the common spider plant), Citrus mitus (Calamondin Orange, which you often see in the windows of dry cleaners) and the orange flowering Cliva all benefit from a regular water mist. Such plants may also benefit from being placed on a moist pebble trough during the winter months. The will serve to increase the microclimate humidity around the plants.

Beware of drafts and cold night temperatures on window sills. In my home, where late night temperatures fall to near 50 degrees, the window sill temperature regularly falls below 45 degrees, spelling death to tropical plants. Although I

am not a serious indoor gardener, I take pity on my house plants and move them away from the windows to avoid winter-kill.

Other plants, including the Cape primrose (Streptocarpus), Wander- ing Jew (Tradescantia), Coleus, Schefflera (Umbrella Tree) and scented geraniums (Pelargonium) can tolerate temperatures as low as 40 degrees for short periods.

Cacti and other succulents, despite their thorns and low water requirements, also need to be matched to their environment. Cacti generally require very sunny conditions, but range in temperature tolerance from warm to cool. Jungle cactus, such as Christmas cactus, however, only need moderate light.

Finally, ask yourself, "How much maintenance am I willing and able to provide to my house plants?" An orchid enthusiast once told me that he spent more time with his plants than with his kids and that they were almost as expensive!

P.S. The next several columns will be devoted to creative gifts for the gardener. Happy Thanksgiving!

Colonial toys on exhibit at Wilmington Public Library ■ _ ■ a ■ •■ a. . I ■■ ■*■ ■ _ Mti ^. _. _ _»» L, 1* * . /«• rw Colonial toy exhibit

An exhibit of Colonial toys from the private collection of Wilmington Minuteman Steven Leet will be on display at Wilmington Memorial Library through November.

Located upstairs in the flat glass case on the landing outside the children's room, the exhibit provides a fascinating glimpse of 18th century children's play. Many of the toys and games -mostly wooden are early examples of basic types of toys and games still played. Included are tops, hoops, whirligigs, cup and ball sets, marbles, a set of "ninepins", replicas of Colonial playing cards, and wooden dice and other games such as "Nine Men's Morris," one of the oldest board games in the world.

The toys have been attractively displayed on a modern copy of the "Bennington" flag, one of the

country's oldest flag designs. It shows 11 stars arching over a large numeral "76" on a blue ground with the 12th and 13th stars located in the top corners. These toys lead a busy life, entertaining children at Minuteman encampments attended by Wilmington members of the 7th Co. 2nd Middlesex Regiment of Foot, appearing at the Harnden Tavern in December, and now the library is pleased to have them on display as well, specially at this time of year when children's thoughts are apt to turn to thoughts of toys. The old ones are still good ones.

December Bookends Thurs., Dec. 7, 7 p.m. Call for

information about this book discussion evening held once a month. December's book is Anne Quindlen's One True Thing. Call the library to reserve a copy. December's meeting will explore suggestions for titles to be read in 1996.

November Time for Twos November 27, 10:30 to II a.m.

The final 1995 Monday morning programs for two-year-olds and their accompanying adults will be held Monday morning, Nov. 27 in the library's Conference Room. No registration is required for this popular program by Mrs. Broderick and Mrs. Arlene Ten Dyke. Winter-spring programs for this age group will be held in January, March and April . 1996. No registration is necessary for this happy library time.

Story hour registration In response to those who arc

already asking, the next signup period for library story hours for three to five-year-olds will begin January 9. Details will be available later. Call for more information.

Doing their good turn, these Boy Scouts teamed up to clean and rake the yard of Mary DiGirolamo of North Wilmington. From left, James Devine, John Tremblay, Adam Campbell, Matthew Regan, Danny Devine, Eric Regan and Jeff Hall. Also helping but not in the photo was Chuck Rice.

Boy Scouts made Mary's day by Karen Miethe

The Boy Scouts of Troop 136 made Wilmington resident Mary DiGirolamo's day on Saturday when they volunteered to clean up her yard.

According to troop member Jeff Hall, "We look and see who's yard

needs cleaning and who is unable to clean it for themselves. Then we tell our troop leader and call up the person to see if it's OK."

Wrrfn Mary got the call earlier in the week, she was thrilled with the offer.

"What a lot of hard work these kids did," she said. "I have a pretty big yard."

"It was a hard job because the yard hadn't been raked for a few years, but we did it," Hall proudly said.

by Capt. Larz Neilson During the past few months there

have been efforts to eliminate the noise of train whistles in Wilmington.

It brings to mind the first railroad crossing in this town. It was known, many years ago as the Hart Crossing, where the Wildcat Rail- road crosses Main Street at Middlesex Avenue.

That name probably was not the first

The Wilmington Alpha, published by the students of Wilmington High School on October 2, 1920 reported that Mr. and Mrs. George Hart had left town to move to Burlington, Vermont. They had lived .in Wilmington for 36 years. He had been the section foreman on the railroad for seven years, and then became the crossing tender. He was known as "the old guy with the whiskers."

There were no gates. Mr. Hart had a sign painted, on a stick which said "Stop." and the driver of every car did exactly that. Former Postmaster Henry Porter told this writer that George Hart used to repair shoes, in his shack, while waiting for the next train on the "Wildcat."

Henry Porter's father, Rudolph who emigrated from Nova Scotia had also been in charge of a section of the B&M. He took over as watchman sometime after George Hart moved to Vermont, until about 1930. Rudolph died in 1932. Between Hart and Porter the

watchman was named Henry Hiller. He was not the man who built what is now the Masonic Hall, but instead was the man who married Mrs. Hiller, and adopted his name after hers. Henry, this paper has been told, was the crossing tender during the prohibition years, and he got the boys to go and "get him a bottle," from time to time.

This writer can recall Henry Hiller at the "Hart Crossing." say about 1923. He never heard about Henry getting the boys to get him a bottle.

GRI,CRB LANDSCAPING TO INCREASE YOUR HOME'S APPEAL Great curb appeal goes a long way to attract buyers to a home that is for sale. Many

of our sales are generated from people who see a "For Sale" sign in front of a home that they have admired from the outside and who call to see the inside. These are some of our most valuable prospects because they already approve of the home's exterior. If your home is for sale, an investment in attractive landscaping can sell it more quickly. If you have a moderately green thumb, you can get a lot of fre« advice from local nurseries. One of their experts can give you tips on what will work best, considering the time of the year, the available light, and the type of plants that tend to do well in your area. Many plants are specifically recommended for easy maintenance. Whatever the season, a few dollars invested in your front yard will reap much greater benefits than your original investment.

For professional advice on baying or selling real estate, please drop by our office in The Starwood Building at 299 Main Street,

Tewksbury Golden A Jane Melcher: 'Born I The monthly meeting was held

Tuesday, Nov. 14. The great success of our Follies was discussed. I think show business has gone to our heads, we would like to put the show on in the Fleet Center next time. What do you think?

There are still some seats left on the bus for the Christmas trip to Indian Head Resorts. The trip is an overnighter December 5-6. Check the GAC bulletin board for more information. New trips for the coming year will be placed on the bulletin board shortly. Keep checking.

The next meeting will be held December 12. This will be the annual Golden Age Club Christmas party. The chubby little man in the red suit will be there to add to our festivities. Everyone who wishes to

participate in a gift exchange should take a $5 gift (new). The men should take a gift suitable for a man and the women a gift suitable for a woman. Let's make this year's party the greatest ever.

The New Year's Eve party preparations are in full swing. This event is for Golden Age Club members only. Guests will be able to attend after the members have their tickets and if there is any room left. The ticket sale will start December 1. Please call the Senior Center 640-4480 for time schedule. The price of the tickets is $15 for Golden Age Club members; $20 for guests.

Where did the year go? Nineteen ninety-six here already? We wish to extend out sympathy to the family of Robert MacDonald. Our sympathy to Frank Abelli for the loss of his aunt; happy birthday and happy anniversary to all this month.

Don't forget December 12. 1:30 p.m. the Golden Age Club Christmas Party.

Gilbert at 2 p.m. followed by Santa's arrival and picture taking by Mr. and Mrs. Beals. This event is free to our seniors and their families. However, we ask that people sign up prior to the event which will give an idea of just how many people will be in attendance.

by Karen Miethe Country music is gaining in

popularity in the Northeast, and Tewksbury resident Jane Ellen Melcher is right in the thick of things. Melcher received recognition from The Massachusetts Coun- try Music Awards Association (MCMAA) at an award show that was held in Randolph on September 25, 1995.

Jane, along with her co-writer, Jeanne Brooks, came in fourth place in the "Country Songwriter" category for the song "Shine the Light," which is written in a Gospel format.

Melcher and Brooks have been friends for the past few years, but this was their first joint writing project. The success of "Shine the Light" could be a good indicator of what is to come in the future from these two talented women.

Brooks, a California native, is currently a student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Melcher has been a Tewksbury resident for the past 11 years, and is originally from Lexington. She grew up in a musical family, and went to a nurturing, arts-oriented school system.

By the tender age of seven, Mel- cher was writing poetry, and she has been composing songs since she was just 11 years old.

"I was born with a song in my heart, a lyric in my head, and a pen in my hand!" says Melcher.

But Melcher's regard for her fellow artists has slowed her own career.

Melcher has dedicated much of her time promoting the talents of

other musical acts through her involvement in radio, entertainment bookings, concert production, events coordination, and many other activities. Since Jane has been so selfless in helping others in the music business, she has not had much time to compete herself.

Ironically, the 1995 MCMAA awards night was the first one she did not attend in the last 16 years', and it was the first one in which she won an award.

"Though it would have done my heart good to have been there in the room, if not just to hear my name called, I should probably make it a point to stay home more often on Awards Night," she said. ■

Melcher's prior MCMAA nomi- nations include "Duo of the YeaF' in 1983 and "Most Promising Female Artist" in 1992, 1993 and 1994. . /

She was also a finalist in the "Fe- male Vocalist" category at the 1993 New Hampshire Country Music Awards Show. She performed aji original composition in the semi- finals, but was unable to compete in the finals because of an ill-timed throat problem.

She was extremely happy to learn she had finally won in the MCMAA, after years of hard work and disappointments. Melcher also feels she has found the three elusive elements that it takes 10 write the kind of song that cap make a difference in someone else's life: "the vulnerability and willingness to live your experiences; the courage to tell the truth about it; and a very good rhyming dictionary!"

LWV to hold public forum on "Health Care Reform"

Those who are concerned about rising health care costs and the corporatization of the healthcare delivery system, are urged to attend a public forum on "Health Care Reform in Massachusetts" Tuesday, November 28 at 7:30 p.m. The forum, which is the third in a series of meetings on issues of local, state and national concern sponsored by the Wilmington League of Women Voters, will be held at the Fourth of July Building (across from the town common).

The meeting will feature a talk by Arthur Mazer, the primary author of a proposed health care reform bill in this state, the Massachusetts Medical Care Program. Mr. Mazer, "who has recently retired from a position as a Medicaid specialist 'with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has had a lengthy career in public and private healthcare. As a health care reform advocate, he has drafted national legislation and served on the Committee for a National Health By stem from 1975-1991.

The Massachusetts Medical Care Program bill, which was filed in the state legislature earlier this year, attempts to address the problem of rising health care costs in the state and the inability of many residents to meet their basic health care needs.

The League of Women Voters and several other advocacy groups are supporting this bill which utilizes a public funding mechanism in place of premiums paid to insurance companies. It also mandates strong consumer involvement. At the meeting, Mr. Mazer will provide information about various features of the bill and the politics of passing such legislation in Massachusetts.

With the failure of health care reform efforts at the national level, the states are now attempting to deal with the problem of increasing numbers of uninsured and underinsured people. Plan to attend this meeting to find out what health care advocacy efforts are underway in Massachusetts.

New trauma service helps victims of violence

Boston Regional Medical Center (BRMC) recently opened a First Response Trauma Consultation Service to help victims of violence. Specially trained clinicians are available to assess and treat children, adolescents and adults who suffer from behavioral and emotional problems due to trauma.

Violence continues to be one of America's most pressing problems. Over 50 percent of all high school students report that they have experienced a physical violation of some kind. An equal number of these students report that they have witnessed violence of have lost a friend to violence. Twenty-five percent of collage age girls report that they have had an unwanted sexual experience. And five percent of all females in this country have experienced incest during their childhood.

"Statistics like these point to a critical need for trauma services," says Dr. Cynthia Kaplan, director of the new program. "Victims should not be forgotten. Early intervention is crucial in helping individuals who have been victims of, or witnesses to, sexual or

physical violence. These individuals can become suicidal or severely depressed years after their experience. Reaching them early on to guide them through normal stages of recovery can prevent serious psychiatric problems from developing later in life," she notes.

The new program offers rapid assessment and consultation, comprehensive evaluations, family support and education, referral and liaison services, individual and group treatment, and public education programs. Clinicians will work with police, probation officers, churches and school systems to promote understanding of this critical issue. "Public education and awareness is essential if we are to quickly reach people who can benefit from our care," says Kaplan.

Dr. Kaplan is an expert in trauma treatment who has consulted, lectured and conducted research in the field. Before joining BRMC, she managed a trauma treatment service for children and adolescents at McLean Hospital in Belmont.

Patients can be referred to the new trauma service by calling 1-800-979-6364.

Tewksbury is just too strong

by James Pole and Jeff Nazzaro This is the last Thanksgiving Day

match-up between Wilmington and Tewksbury, ending a 60-year rivalry. Tewksbury is 9-0 and they are already glancing ahead to a fight against Walpole in the Division 2-B Super Bowl game.

Tewksbury comes into the Thanksgiving game a heavy favorite, having beaten the likes of Chelmsford, Lowell and seven other teams who have tried to un- ravel their unbeaten streak.

But Wilmington has come alive in the second half of its season, going 4-2 after starting the season off with four straight losses.

Wilmington's two major weak- nesses are inconsistent play and mistakes; and Tcwksbury's two strongest points are team con- sistency and causing their opponents to make mistakes and to cough up the ball.

However, all of that is thrown out the window. The 32^20-7 advantage Tewksbury has over Wilming- ton in this famous game has nothing to do with the one that will be played on Nov. 23, 1995.

Records, stats and past performances are history. It's a brand new game, brand new chances and a great way to finish off one of the state's longest and belter rivalries; and a chance to become a hero in the final game of the season or perhaps, for seniors, the final game of their high school careers.

The heroes will be sought and it's all up to whomever wants it most.

Cats need big '()' to survive With Tim Gillis coming back

after two games on the shelf with an ankle injury, Wilmington needs to come together with a big drive in their first series, in order for their offense to execute.

Tewksbury has caused a turnover on their opponent's first drive in their past five games. Wilmington cannot turn the ball over on their first possession - they need to score, or at least have a productive drive. Whe'her they do have that successful drive, or they go three-and-oul will be a major key to the game.

Tim Gillis has done a very good job at quarterback. He is only a sophomore and he has thrown for over 500 yards. But, his biggest problems arc the 12 interceptions he has thrown over eight games.

If Tim Gillis is not victimized by the many dropped balls that he has, thrown right into the hands of his' receivers and none of his passes are picked off, then look for the sophomore to have a very productive day.

Wilmington's backficld could finally emerge in this game. The past few games, the team has not had the luxury of having Billy Harrison, Scan Kerrigan and Rich Gillis taking hand-offs. Harrison and Rich Gillis have shared the quarterbacking duties when Tim Gillis has been out and the opponents really keyed in on the

lone back. But, this threesome has combined

for 1308 yards rushing on 256 carries for an average of 5.1 yards per carry. Gillis leads with an average of 7.4 yards per carry and looks a lot like a pre-Patriots

Marion Butts, who kept carrying defenders with him for yards after yards.

Wilmington can do a lot with these three in the backfield especially since its receivers have done a better job of late catching the ball. Josh Cormier, Brian Carroll and Jamie Campbell, along with all three backs, add a variety of options for the Wildcats to turn to on pass plays.

If Wilmington is going to have any kind of a chance to put up some impressive offensive numbers, they desperately need big games from both their offensive and defensive lines.

Wilmington's probable starting line-up on offense has Matt Has- kamp at center with Mike OToole and Tom Burke as the two guards. Mike Caira and Pat Finn are the two tackles with Carroll and Cormier as the tight ends. Tim Gillis is the quarterback with Kerrigan, Rich Gillis and Harrison in the backfield - freshman Mike Gcnnetti also could get time as a back.

Needless to say, it has to be a complete team effort if Wilming- ton wants to end the rivalry in their territory - and the offense is the first step.

Multi-faceted Red offense Tewksbury offensive coordinator

Gary Ballou says this is the best offense he's seen in 15 years of coaching at TMHS, and it would be difficult to argue, with him.

While Tewksbury boasts two of the best in the state in quarterback Mike Torode and running back Ben Christopher, the team is loaded with weapons and uses them all. Tewksbury's play calling, combined with Torodc's ability to read defenses and break down

, coverage, or scramble if necessary, makes it an exercise in futility for opponents to key on any fone or two players. C t-^jJt

Tcwksbury's line, small oy MVC measures, will have no problem lining up against Wilmington. They have relied on quickness and determination, along with a lot of outside running and short drops from Torode, who has only been sacked nine times this year, on pass plays. Sophomore center Ralph Pcrrotti has been flawless snapping the ball this season. He's joined on the line by three seniors - Ryan Minior, Ron Bernard and Matt

,Murray - and a junior, Jon rBomoach.

When Tewksbury lines up with the ball, stay ^harp. Aylward and Ballou will throw a variety of re- verses - inside and out - two and three ball fakes at a' time and a lot of speed. And that's just the running game.

Christopher is the go-to guy

there, averaging almost 7 yards per carry. But junior Tim Lavoie is right behind him on the stats sheet and senior Alex Adorno, who had a big game last Turkey Day, is also averaging over 6 yards a rush. (Adorno suffered a thigh bruise in the Methuen game Friday night and is listed as day-to-day).

The key to Tewksbury's running game is getting outside and picking up corner blocks. Adorno or Christopher are lethal running

sweeps across the line to the far side of the field. Lavoie, at fullback, is the power runner of the trio and usually gets the call in short yardage situations. But near the goal line, look for Christopher to slash and cut his way in.

Christopher is the team's leading receiver, also, but senior split end Carl Cyr is dangerous, too, with 20 catches to his credit this year. Sen- ior Joe Mercer lines up at tight end, with Lavoie and Adorno making catches out of the backfield on occasion.

Torode is the total package and really makes the whole show go. He is hitting receivers at a .625 clip and has only three interceptions in 112 attempts. If no one is open, he is a definite threat to run, getting his share of designed keepers as well. In all, Torode is averaging just under 5 yards per carry, a statistic watered down by the many knees he has taken to close out Tewksbury's tighter games.

Tewksbury is toughest in the first half, outscoring opponents by an mindboggling 167-21. Barring a blizzard, look for at least three first half touchdowns, two if there is heavy snow.

Cats defense needs boost Another major key for the Cats

and probably the biggest, is the play of their defensive line. It hasn't been all that great lately, but the line does have the potential to make the proper blocks and plays necessary.

The probable starters on defense will be: Dave DiPasquale as nose guard; Finn and Carroll as tackles; Rich Gillis and Mike OToole as defensive ends; Kerrigan, Camp- bell and Burke as linebackers; Steve Ritucci, Harrison and Dave DeAmato, with Pat OToole getting a lot of time in the defensive plans as well.

Defensively, Wilmington has done a lot better on the opposition's running game and that will really be tested against Tewks- bury with Mike Torode, Alex Adorno, Ben Christopher and Tim Lavoie coming at them.

Wilmington's obvious problem defensively is their secondary, but that also could be misleading. Har- rison is the best defender of the three and he seems to lead the team in tackles every game, which is odd since he is a defensive back. Dave DeAmato has a lot of potential and skills as a freshman and given the chance he could come up big with his size and speed. Ritucci and Gcnnetti also will get some time as

defensive backs. Ball jarring defense

The Tewksbury defense has been overlooked this season for two reasons: 1) teams have moved the ball against them on the ground, sometimes at will, and 2) the offense is just so good.

But when it counts, these guys come up big. They've pitched three shutouts this season (Westford, Dracut and Methuen) and caused 27 fumbles, recovering 17 of those.

Like on the offensive line, these guys have been outweighed all year

Ritchie has seen it all by James Pole

John Ritchie has seen his share of the blue and white and the red and blue. In fact, of the 59 football games played between Wilmington and Tcwksbury, Ritchie has missed just two of them, and those because he was serving his country in World War II.

Ritchie was Wilmington's water- boy in the first Thanksgiving game between Wilmington and Tewks- bury, played in 193S. He probably didn't know at his young age that he would be watching the next 58 games either on the field, on the sidelines, the bleachers or in the press box as a volunteer coach.

In 1939, Ritchie threw the winning touchdown pass to tight end Joe Woods to beat Tewksbury 7-0 to finish the year undefeated. That was the first time Ritchie was involved with an undefeated team in Wilmington - there were to be many more in his future.

But, the following year, 1940, Ritchie was a senior on the team and he sat on the bench all season long, including the big game against Tewksbury, with a dis- located shoulder - but he saw that game as well.

After he graduated from WHS, he still attended the games. He became an assistant coach at WHS from 1955-1977. He then became the head coach from 1978-1982. And the past three years, he has been a volunteer coach under Gerry Sullivan.

Ritchie has had his share of the blue and white at Wilmington High School. He, among many others, doesn't know what he will do if Wilmington and Tewksbury no longer play each other before he sits down every Thanksgiving to enjoy a nice, hot meal with his family.

Ritchie has done the same thing on Thanksgiving morning for 57 out of the past 60 years - after waking up, he has taken rides to either the Town Park in Wilming- ton or Alumni Field at WHS. Or, he has taken rides to Novitiate Field on Chandler Street or Doucette Field at the Center School in Tewksbury.

He won't be taking any more rides down Route 38 no more. He will no longer see Wilmington teams like the 1976 and 1979 teams knock Tewksbury out, of Super Bowl matches with the win on Turkey Day.

And he will no longer see fake punt plays where Tewksbury throws for a touchdown and wins a very exciting game with both teams struggling record wise, like he did last year.

All of that is thrown out the window. The tradition. The pep rallies. The early morning break- fasts. The match-ups he had against Bob Alyward. The good old days coaching with Fred Bcllisimo. Seeing the better players come and go ... and seeing the hundreds and hundreds of

different athletes who have put on the blue and white or the red and blue uniform and have trotted their way out to the different fields in the past 60 years. John Ritchie has seen it all.

Ritchie has also seen many of Wilmington's finest teams, better players and better games against Tewks- bury.

"There are a couple of [Thanks- giving games] that stick out in my mind. I would have to say the 1976 and 1979 teams for knocking out Tewksbury's Super Bowl bid. Tewksbury had a lot of talent in 1976 and that was an outstanding victory," Ritchie said.

"I would also have to say the 1939 game, because we stayed undefeated, was one of the better games and so were so many other games that were just as good too," Ritchie added.

Ritchie also said that there have been some great athletes to walk in and out of the pride of wearing the Wilmington blue and white. He said Joe Kane of the 1937 team was one of the best running backs around as well as Jackie Bo wen, Connie Barry and Mike Esposito being at the top of Wilmington's all-time finest.

As for the all-time best teams, Ritchie said several deserve consideration for the top award. He said the undefeated 1972 team, which really didn't have any superstars but just worked extremely hard all season, has to be one of the better teams.

Ritchie also believes the 1939 team as well as the 1948 undefeated teams are up there as well. Ritchie said running back Bill Chisholm of the '48 team was also one of the best runners around.

He liked both the 1976 and 1979 teams as both of them had just one loss and they both beat the favored Tewksbury team on Thanksgiving. The 1979 team, Ritchie said, was an outstanding team and probably his best team as head coach. Finally, Ritchie said the 1972 team, the last undefeated team in Wilmington to date, was another all-time favorite team. That was the year another Wilmington assistant. Bob Alyward, left the Wilmington team after they just beat Tewksbury - to become the head coach there.

Both Ritchie and Alyward have been friends since and Ritchie believes Alyward's troops of 1995 is one of his best all-time teams.

"I can't believe the 100 percent improvement of the quarterback [Mike Torode]. He can throw the ball very well and he can run the ball, too. He's a great athlete and quarterback," Ritchie said.

"But, Tewksbury has the same team they did last year except for having Ben Christopher healthy. He adds a new dimension. The team's speed is great and very impressive. And having Bob Alyward as a coach helps out too - and I'm not saying the team couldn't have done this under Joe

DclGrosso, but Alyward is one of the best coaches in the area."

After serving as an assistant coach under Connie O'Doherty for one year and Fred Bcllisimo for the next 21 years, Ritchie was asked to take over as head coach in 1978. He did for the next five years and he resigned after the 1982 season due to health reasons

because of what he describes as too much stress especially since he was still a police officer in Wilmington.

Since his 1982 resignation, Ritchie has found his Thanksgiving memories from the bleachers. The past three years, he has been a volunteer assistant for Gerry Sullivan. The past two years he has helped out in the press box on the headphones. Last year, he was also the freshman coach.

And the difference between this era and his era of WHS football?

"There was a lot more team speed [when I coached] than there is today. But, back then the enroll- ments were about 1300 students and now its down to 640 - we don't have as much talent as we did then," Ritchie said.

"I have mixed emotions about the switch to the Cape Ann League. I think we still can play Tewksbury and we should still be playing Tewksbury [on Thanksgiving]. I don't think Tewksbury will be this domineering in the next few years. The overall competition for Wil- mington is better off, but overall Wilmington had an all-time better record than Billerica and they beat Chelmsford ten years straight. But, Wilmington should really do well next year," Ritchie continued.

And what about the 1995 Wil- mington team?

"They are a very young team. They certainly have one goal in mind - to win the league next year. The play of Sean Kerrigan and Rich Gillis have been really big surprises. I like the play of a couple of the freshman, Mike Gennclti and Dave DeAmato. Tim Gillis is very young and he could be a very good quarterback. Pal and Mike OToole have really improved and have really come a long way," Ritchie said.

"But they have lo limit their mistakes. The bad snaps have killed them this year. But, I think once the high school gets a new principal he or she will have a lot to do with many of the team's futures. The new principal's spirit should rub off on these teams and give them a boost. I think it's nice that the football team went over and saw some of the field hockey and soccer games - the teams have to support each other," Ritchie said.

Ritchie is one of many traditiona- lists who hope the Thanksgiving game is kept. He believes something can be done to keep the rivalry going past the 60-ycar mark.

If not, he, along with hundreds and perhaps thousands of other Wilmington football fans, will all

be wondering what to do on Thanksgiving morning.

After Tewksbury beat Wilmington 21-0 in the 1981 Thanksgiving game, then Wilmington coach John Kiu hi< .mil former and now current Tewksbury coach Bob Alyward take a few minutes to chat with each other.

Burke, Finn hope to leave WHS in style by James Pole

Both of this year's Wilmington High School's varsity football captains, Tom Burke and Pat Finn, realize the team could have done a lot better than the 4-6 record that shows.

But, they both admitted that the team's record "is water under the bridge" and they can't think about the past Since this Thursday will be their last game ever at WHS, the co-captains must now find a way to salvage the team's disappointing season with a win over an undefeated and Super Bowl bound Tewksbury squad in the final Thanksgiving game between the two neighboring towns.

"This game means a lot. We have had a disappointing season and we could have done a lot better, but, we can't look at that now. We have to come out flying as if it was a Super Bowl game," said Burke, who was voted an All-League offensive guard by the Cape Ann League this past week.

"Our season is water under the bridge. If we play as a team and not make mistakes than we should do fine," said Finn.

Both of the captains are seniors and both of them are not sure what their future football plans are. Burke said he wants to play football in college, while Finn is not sure.

Burke is a guard on offense and a linebacker on defense. He said he likes the contact aspect of the game.

"I really like the hitting. I like playing linebacker better because on offense you don't get any recognition - only the backfield does. But, on defense you know that you can't make any mistakes," Burke said.

Finn, on the other hand is a offensive and defensive tackle.

Both of the captains know that they have a huge task coming their way on Turkey Day morning. They realize just what type of offensive and defensive weapons Tewksbury has, but they also have it in their hearts that they have a shot at ending the Redmen's nine-game winning streak of this year.

"They have the same team they did last year except for Ben Christopher and we had four of

our starters out and we gave them a great game," said Burke. "If we play tough with no mental mistakes and play as we know how we can play, than we can beat them," Burke said.

"Our defensive line has to come alive," Burke mentioned as another example of what the team must do to win. "Our defensive backs have to stay with their man or zone and our linebackers have to follow their keys and make big plays."

What kind of things do the captains do to get their team up for this big game?

"Just hype the team up. Tell each of the players before the game

what they have to do and come together is what we try to do," Finn said.

"Just try to get them hyped up - it's the last game of the year and for the seniors the last game at Wilmington and hopefully they will realize that and be ready," Burke said.

Head coach Gerry Sullivan said that his two captains are not the most vociferous ones he has had, but they led by example.

"They portrayed their roles well. They were very quiet captains that led by example. I think they are disappointed over their record but they played well and they were good leaders," Sullivan said.

And the two players thoughts on their coach?

"He's a good guy. He has brought a lot to us and to the team. No one dedicates more time than he does - he gives it everything he has," the two captains agreed.

Wildcats are 4 and 6 in Cape Ann League

by James Pote This was Wilmington's first

season in the Cape Ann League. All things considered, they did pretty well ... from last year. This year they are 4-6 going into the Thanks- giving game and last year they finished the year at 1-9.

Last season the team lost it's first four games to MVC powerhouses Central Catholic, Chelmsford, Lo- well and Billerica by a combined score of 144-20.

This year, Wilmington again lost its first four games, against New- buryport, Triton, Ipswich and Mas- conomet - four of the top five teams in the Cape Ann League. But, this year the first four games they were not outscored by over 100 points and not shut out twice - rather they were outscored 97-28 and only shut out once.

Moving on from last year's schedule in the MVC, Wilmington lost its next three games against Billerica, Methuen and Andover by a combined score of 88-25, which included a 27-23 loss to Andover.

This year, Wilmington won its three middle games, against North Reading, Amesbury and Lynnfield by scores of 24-0, 36-8 and 39-27. They did their share of touchdown dances. After seven games this year.the Cats were outscored 132- 127 compared to the 249-68 margin after seven games from last year.

The total numbers from last year's team show that Wilmington was outscored 317-115. Thus far this year, they have been outscored by a margin of 186-176.

What do all of these numbers mean, anyway? Nothing. They are all thrown out the window come Turkey Day. But, two things have come out of these mindboggling numbers; a) Wilmington didn't have to play the ironhorses of the Lions, Red Raiders or Indians; b) Both Wilmington's offensive and defensive squads have made major steps in improvement.

Starting with the offense, Gerry Sullivan and his staff took a major hit when Steve O'Neil put on his cap and gown this past June. The past two seasons, the running back ran for over 800 yards. And last year, Wilmington basically had just O'Neil and sometimes receiver Jay Iannachino to go to unless Billy Harrison tried a keeper play on the option run offense.

There are many differences to this year's offense - which if they had this last year, along with O'Neil, they could have sneaked a few more wins under their belt than the one over Dracut.

This year, Tim Gillis, in his first year as a quarterback, has thrown for 544 yards with 12 interceptions and 4 TD passes. The first number, yards thrown, is pretty good considering he is just a sophomore and the passing calls are just called 31 percent of the time.

But, the intercerception numbers are high in just eight games played,

but as a first year player in the very tough position, Tim Gillis has done exceptionally well and nothing should be taken away from him. The interception numbers will be lowered the next two years - it will only come with experience.

But, the offense is a lot better this year because it has more weapons to turn to. Sean Kerrigan and Rich Gillis add several new dimensions to the backficld insted of one getting hammered every time he touches the ball.

The offense is a big difference from last year and the defense is too (more on the defense in the game's preview).

Anyway, the team traveled to Newburyport on a Friday night to face the Clippers and they got just that ... Clipped. Wilmington lost 21-0 in their Cape Ann League debut and turnovers were the story to this game. The Cats defense played extremely well but the offense just couldn't get anything brewing.

The second game of the season, the team also traveled to Triton which was the first of three games of the team coughing up leads. This one was lost after Wilmington was ahead 14-0 late in the third quarter and lost 22-14 to one of the better all around teams in the new league.

Then there was the first home game of the season, against Ipswich. Once again, Wilmington was up 7-3 at halftime and slipped and fell in the second half, pretty much not showing up, losing 33-7. 0-3 was not a good start.

Quickly the team found itself staring at a 0-4 start when they lost

to Masconomet after leading them by a 7-0 score. At that point, everyone was looking to blame someone and Gerry Sullivan was starting to get a lot of the brunt when none of it should have been pointed at him in the first place.

The next three games ... was a breeze so to speak. Wilmington went up to the drive-thru and ordered everything on the menu • the food was gone in moments, and that is how they got these three wins - just mowing them down.

The first of the three was a 24-0 whipping over neighbor North Reading, 24-0 in the team's only shutout win of the season. The second of the three consecutive wins came over Amesbury 36-8. And the third came against Lynnfield 39-27 where Sullivan asked for many napkins to wipe the sweat from his forehead. A close one.

The next two games, Wilmington lost 15-0 to North Andover and 32-20 to Hamilton-Wenham. Both games could have, should have and would have been won if only this, this and that happened. But all of that didn't happen and the team's record was now 3-6. They made it 4-6 with a 19-7 victory over Pen- tucket

Now that leaves Tewksbury with its 1,237 total passing yards. That also means a total of 1,805 on the ground, for a total offensive collage of 3,042. Wilmington has a total of 2,252.

Hopefully, the second answer to the biggest difference from this year's team from last year's team sees these numbers!

WHS quarterback Tim Gillis lets the ball fly in one of the games this season for the Cats.

Redmen undefeated and too strong long and still held their own. Speed, toughness and determination are the keys. They play together and get great help on the run from the linebackers and defensive backs. One the ends are senior Ryan Minior, a solid veteran and captain on this team, and Andy Rubin, who in just his first season has shown excellent ability and a big-game mentality. The tackles are Bombach and senior Rob Klcrowski. In the middle is junior Mike Howcll, who,, has . been a dominating presence at times this season.

Linebackers Mercer and Lavoie complement each other perfectly. Lavoie is belter against the run and a good pass rusher, while Mercer plays good run defense and is excellent in pass coverage. .

The secondary, corncrbacks Adorno and Matt Petros and safeties Torode and Christopher, could be the best in the state. Opposing quarterbacks have only completed 37 percent of their passes for just under 60 yards per game. Torode hasn't missed a one-on-one tackle in the open field all season and leads the team with four interceptions (one more than he's thrown). Adorno and Petros are solid cover guys, while Adomo and Christopher are nasty against the run.

As with the backfield, speed is the key. If this crew does get beat, it's never for very far.

Punting This could be a very interesting

side-bar to the game considering Tewksbury rarely punts because they always seem to score. But, as fans witnessed last year, Wil- mington cannot fall asleep on any Tewksbury punt plays. Torode is very capable punting the football when he actually does.

For Wilmington, Sean Kerrigan has done a pretty good job punting

the ball. Once in a while he boots one for a mile and another time he gets ten yards out of it. If he is consistant than that could be a huge plus in the Cats' direction.

Other aspects In all likelihood, both teams will

not go for a field goal, so basically it is the kick-off teams. Kerrigan does farely well on his kicks for Wilmington and it will come down to whether or not Wilmington can tackle the kids in the Red uniforms.

' But, returning kicks will also be a major key to the game. Wilming-

ton has to find a way to return strong-footed Mike Torode's kick- offs, because they cannot afford to start a lot of series on their own 20-yard line. Harrison and Gen- nelti must find the holes and put the Cats in good field position throughout the entire game.

Pote's prediction It's obvious that Tewksbury is

better in all categories, but Wil- mington seems to play better as of late in the famous game, despite not winning since 1991.

There are many keys to the game that have to be considered. The aforementioned ones and the biggest one of them all could be the weather. Last year, the game was played on a very cold and windy day that featured a little frost on the field.

If the game has any kind of rain, sleet or snow that will benefit Wilmington in a big way. But, if there is not any kind of form of stuff on the field except for the green kind, Wilmington has to find the team that has a lot of potential that has not found its way out yet. Redmen 35 Cats 12.

Nazzaro's prediction Wilmington will come to play

and play hard, but Tewksbury is undefeated and ranked number one

in the state by both the Globe and Herald for a reason: they're the best football team in the slate.

Despite the heavy emotions that arc always involved in this game, all things point to a Tewksbury romp. Tewksbury hasn't let down for more than a half all year, while Wilmington's team has been temperamental. Tewksbury is a team that causes turnovers and

scores points off 'em, Wilmington is a club that gives away the ball and points.

The Cats will batUe valianUy, but it's hard to imagine a situation that could level the playing field - even the last of 60 years of Thanksgiving football games.

I could be diplomatic here, but I won't.

Kapnis named new girls1 hoop coach

by James Pote Just a few weeks ago Jim Tildlsey

resigned as head coach for the Wilmington High School girls varsity basketball team. And just this past week, the job was filled by Beth Kapnis, of Salem.

Kapnis, 29, has been the junior varsity coach at Salem High School for the past eight years. She has also a JV field hockey coach in Beverly and Salem as well as a freshman softball coach at Salem.

WHS Athletic Director Jim Gillis was extremely pleased that he was able to get a coach like Kapnis with her qualities and background.

"I'm very excited to have her. I think she will bring a lot to this program. I'm really excited that we were able to get someone with her qualities with just a week away from the start of the season," said Gillis, who also confirmed that he had another applicant with an impressive resume.

"I'm totally thrilled about the opportunity," Kapnis told the Salem Evening News. "Mr. Gillis has even mentioned a teaching job there. I feel strongly about the move. It's not a consolation thing. I'm

grateful to have coached in Salem in a great program."

According to the Salem News, Kapnis was a tremendous athlete for Salem High School. She was a guard on the Division III national championship basketball team, winning all-tournament honors. She was also a two-time All- America field hockey player in college at Salem State. She was a three-sport Northeastern Confer- ence all-star in basketball, field hockey and softball.

/ Definition of a coach by Stergios Kosmidis

There is a stereotype which exists in false belief of the majority of people - everyone who orders another around, is out to harm that "other" person. I personally believe that old saying, "if it won't kill you, it will only help you."

Most high school sports coaches are very strict and have their own morals and standards that they abide by. They expect their entire team to abide by his or her rules at least for the duration of the sports season.

One thing that I have noticed about coaches in the United States is that they require and demand a great deal of respect, and the reason for this, I believe, is that they don't usually get enough of the respect which they seek.

When a basketball player is on the team and plays under the Wilming- ton team, he respects the town and furthermore, his coach; hence, the team, town, coach and individual players are as one during the season and by this rationale, one should always have respect for himself - in this case, if one respects himself, he automatically respects his coach.

Apparently, the coach is aware of the fact that all of "his kids" respect him and the town and therefore is very cautions of how his team acts, in fear of giving himself, the town and the whole team a bad reputation. I can understand why a coach would be what a high school student would call, "too tough" on the team because of all of these things at risk.

I am recently trying out for the Wilmington Varsity Basketball team and was quite surprised at what I heard said by the coach at the meeting for all of the candidates of the team.

I should mention that I am a walk-on senior tryout and that I am not familiar with any of the routine of trying out for the team.

What the coach [Jim McCune] said was that any disciplinary problems will not be tolerated and furthermore. He went on to mention that we were not to wear bandanas, or even head bands because if we needed to wear those, we should get a haircut.

He also said that we were not to wear earrings either; evidently, this man actually cares about what his team looks like and values others'

attention. Not once in my life has an athletic coach of mine ever required that we look clean cut and neat as this particular basketball coach has.

Since this coach shows his moral values proudly, and is strict upon prevailing them, I would sincerely be honored to be a part of his exclusive team.

direct opinion judgement.

The fact that this man cares about what we look like, really gained my full respect and drained my full

All set for bow hunting! by Bill Conlon

Alright, let's see if I've got all my (licks lined up.

I'm taking Thanksgiving week off i >r a few days of bow hunting. The 1 lassachusctts season runs until the Saturday after Turkey Day, my kid Brother is coming in to join me in the woods, and it's time to see if my £ct is together. Hopefully. I Pve got my spot picked to spend Spy hunting hours. Where? Sorry. Unposted, huntable land with deer is getting scarce in Eastern Mass., 'so I'm loathe to reveal any of my tits. The hardest part of hunting

se days is finding a place to go, jut I hate crowds. That's all set. * I would have preferred a couple

' more target practice sessions, as 40 or 50 more. I can skewer a

(jleach bottle reliably at 30 yards, Uhich will have to do. I'd rather be

|§ead-on out to the range limits of ' my bow, but finding the time for .target practice is tricky. An hour here and an hour there is about all I can afford. No rest for the wicked.

Got my camouflage, my hat and my hiking boots. All set there. The hat has a screen inside that hangs in front of my face, which helps. The netting keeps the sun from glaring off my glasses, which wouldn't be a

ttood thing. No. I'd hate to spook a \deer with an untimely glare. ^ I've got the chime on my watch Hjhut off. I have a recurring night 'mare about drawing back at a deer,

erfect range and a clear "shooting ne" all around, only to have my

l-atch go "BEEP-BEEP" at the turn bf the hour, and all I see is a white flash of departing tail heading for the next ZIP code. The watch has been silenced, thank you.

I usually wear winter gloves for bow hunting, for several reasons. First, they keep my hands warm in the woods. That's important. But I wear the same gloves during target practice, and they feel nearly the same as a shooting tab. One of these days I'll get a "mechanical" release, now that they're legal to use in the Bay State, but not this year. (Any relatives making up their Christmas list? Hint, hint!) For the nonce, the gloves will do.

Let's see ~ I've got my doe scent

The compass has been checked, to make sure Polaris is still the North Star, so that's covered. I'm a firm believer that North isn't nearly so important as The Truck Bearing, so I always look at the compass in the parking lot. Then I can follow the reciprocal heading back to where I left the pickup. North? Who cares,

unless you're relying on a map? I'll take Truck over North every time. (I've been lost, repeatedly, and it's never any fun.)

Not much left. I guess. Just load a few snacks (NO chocolate; it dries out the mouth) into the belt pouch, pin on the license, get some sleep, and I'm off for the woods.

Wish me luck.

Wildcats the 1-0 victory. The first period was filled with

plenty of back and fourth action as neither team could maintain consistent pressure in the other's zone. Wilmington goalie, Eric Ollila had to pounce on several loose pucks in his crease.

One of these was a very close call as Cambridge player attempted to jam the puck in with a quick wrap around move. Justin LeFave and Keith Irwin provided plenty of back checking support in front of Eric.

The second period was more of the same with both teams skating hard. At about the two minute mark a checking penalty was called on Wilmington's Jason Buckley.

At the 26 second mark, Cambridge pulled their goalie to add a sixh skater. But even that wasn't enough as Wilmington held on to give Eric Ollila the shutout for the game.

This game was indeed a defensive struggle with very few clean breakaways or powerful on net shots. Once again the defensive lineup of Billy Schultes, Chris Waisnor, Justin Roberts and Jason Randall played tough hockey for Wilmington.

My knife has kissed the stone to my satisfaction, so the edge is good. Those who have never dressed out a deer don't know how rude the work can be. You get bloodied up to the elbows. Field-dressing a deer is a nasty task, but doing the work with a dull knife is a fool's errand. A keen edge makes for quicker work, which helps.

Mite A's hold off Winchester Saturday the Tewksbury Mite A

youth hockey team finished up dual State League parity round play with a 6-5 victory over Winchester.

The Warriors second game was an old fashioned shootout against North Andover with a final score of 8-8. Josh Graville scored two goals,

Ron Camara scored two with single scores by T.J. Strong, Dean Bilodeau, Brian Kaput and Matt Bruno.

The third game was their first win, a 5-2 victory over Methuen, in Methuen. The game featured some outstanding offensive play by Ryan Bishop and Chris Myers. Superb defensive plays by Strong and Peter Capraro. Goals were scored by Josh Graville, Peter Caprao, Jesse McCloud, Ron Camara and Dean Bilodeau.

What is it about a diner?

531 Main Street, Reading • (617)944-2200

By DOUG WOOD-BOYLE

What is it about diners that evokes memories in many,

if not all of us, with romantic thoughts of a simpler time in the past.

Those wooden, or blue steel or stainless steel buildings mostly found on the side of what used to be major thoroughfares before the onslaught of the Interstate highway system. Those palaces of cholesterol laden food that we enjoyed before the experts in the medical and nutritional fields told us how wrong we were.

First of all, before I get into any further trouble with local "roadside archivist/commercial archeologist (i.e expert on diners and member of the Society of Commercial Archeology)", Larry Cultrera, diners are not just former railroad cars, although some were used.

Cultrera, a Medford native, and collector of diner trivia said, "To me a diner is a custom built restaurant."

Although, he has recently softened his view, as has nation- ally recognized diner historian Dick Gutman, to defining a diner as "...anyplace with a counter and stools and diner like atmosphere"

Cultrera should know what a diner is, he has been studying the subject and eating in them ever since his father, Sam Cultrera (former owner of the

Blue Eagle Meat market in South Medford) introduced him to the former Star Lite Diner (Worcester Lunch Car #817) located on Mystic Avenue, when Larry was only 12-years old.

Now 46, Cultrera has amassed a collection of diner trivia and memorabilia that would be the envy of any true enthusiast. His collection includes about 740 pic- tures of diners.

His knowledge is such that if you name a diner he can tell you if it is on the original spot and how many times it has been moved.

During a recent trip through Connecticut, Cultrera and wife Denise, a school teacher, were stopped at a light on the Berlin Turnpike Cultrera started looking at a pizza shop. After notic- ing it had rounded corners he turned to Denise and said, "There is a diner under there"

During the night, the idea came to him that it might have been the former Mary's Diner, which is in a postcard that is a part of his collection

The next day, the couple returned to the location and Cultrera found the metal corners, under the new facade of the shop, had sunbursts and the foundation identified the building as the same style that would have been constructed by the Mountain View Company. This is the same style used in the construction of Mary's Diner.

Unfortunately, Denise does not share all of Larry's enthusiasm for diners and therefore his

memorabilia has been relegated to a personal museum he has fashioned in his basement workshop.

The museum contains memorabilia from many different diners as well as little pieces depicting different styles of diners. Among these are ceramic figures and framed jigsaw puz- zles.

Also included are windows, pieces of the counters and mirrors from diners that have been torn down or remodeled. He uses an old bun warmer from the former F&T Diner in Kendall Square as a storage cupboard for his slides.

A window in his collection came from a dilapidated diner he found in Auburn. When he was discussing the place with friends he discovered the building had once been Sherwood's Diner at Wellington Circle. It was moved from there to Worcester and was moved to Auburn to make room for the Worcester Centrum.

Some of his pieces were rare enough to be included in a recent exhibition held at the Museum of Our National Heritage in Lexington.

Cultrera also takes some of

LARRY CULTRERA IS shown with the scale model of the former Star Lite Diner that he has built from scratch. The former Medford establishment is the first diner that Cultrera, a roadside archivist, ever ate in. The Medford resident travels around the country collecting memorabilia (some shown in background), giving lectures and writing a monthly column on the subject of diners. The diner is made almost totally from wood. However, the roof is medium grit sandpaper, painted black. The sign is a stencil reduced down to size on a copy machine. (Don Young photo)

THANKSGIVING

We set a day aside each year And call it Thanksgiving Day We gather around our tables Then join our hands and pray, "Oh, Lord, we thank you for

thy bounty which we will share today,

With those who are less fortu- nate

And somehow have lost their way.

We thank you for America, Its fields of wheat and grain. The rockbound coasts and

forests And the winding country lane. We're grateful for the sun and

moon That ever shine so bright, And for the million stars, like

jewels That sparkle in the night.

Watch o'er this land where pilgrims came

To sing praises to your name. As we bow our heads and

pray. "Oh, lord, Thanksgiving Day

is every day When we can meet this way."

Folks, a letter in, Ann Lander's Column, November 2, 1995." Imagine you had a bank account that, each morning credited your account, $1,440 with one condition. Whatever part of the, $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be

erased from your account and no balance would be carried over. What would YOU do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage

Well Folks, we have such a bank and, its name is, TTME." Every morning this bank credits you with 1,440 MINUTES and, it writes off as, "Forever Lost" what ever portion you have failed to "Invest" in some good deed or purpose."

A painter I know, added more water than necessary to a gallon of latex paint so that it would cover more area and he in turn would make more profit on the job. One Night in a Dream, a voice said to him, "I know what you have been doing and it's WRONG. I advise you to, 'Repaint and, Thin No More"

I am certified in CPR but fortunately in 10 years I've never had to use it until last week in a local restaurant. Kathy and I went out to dinner when she noticed a man at an adjacent table suddenly slump under the table and on the floor.

Kathy exclaimed, to me, "Okay Dr. Kildare, here's a chance to use your training." I rushed over and said to the woman at the table, "your husband is on the floor but, don't worry, I'm an expert in, CPR, I can help him." "Go back to your own table you idiot!" she said to me, "My husband just walked in the door!"

Steve Reardon asked Pottsie Geary the bartender, "Did you take any money out of the cash

drawer today?" "Yes I did," Pottsie replied, "I took my car- fare out" "Oh Ho!" Steve shout- ed, "and when did you move to California pray tell?"

Kathy has a speech impedi- ment,. She has to STOP talking every half hour to take a "Deep" breath.

Do you ...now what the terms, "Snake Eyes," "Little Joe" and "Box Cars" are associated with?" Well, it's in shooting dice. One day in Las Vegas, I threw the dice on the "Craps Table" and one fell out of my sleeve.

The cool-cat copier picked the three of them up, kept one dice and gave me two. He smiled and said, "shoot sir, your point is sixteen!"

i KK/UIU Jt^nn ' "The American President" 'The American President"

starring Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, David Paymer, Samantha Mathis, Anna Deavere Smith. Directed and produced by Rob Reiner. Written by Aaron Sorkin. Rated PG.

Not long into "The American President," there is a brief homage to Frank Capra. It is an appropriate reference, but quite unnecessary. The entire movie is so obviously Capra- esque that it is almost patroniz- ing to point it out.

Director Rob Reiner, who so flubbed "North" one would have thought he'd never find his way back to the limelight, has delivered a movie brimming with warmth and humor. Reiner has always been able to capture the honesty of his subjects, be it comedic, dramatic or horrific. And with this movie, Reiner is at his best.

Annette Bening is Sydney Wade, the high-powered political lobbyist who catches the eye of Michael Douglas, the widowed president up for re-election. It does neither of them any good, career-wise, to respond to the electricity they so obviously feel. The good news is we see those sparks as clearly as they do.

Bening is a pure delight a woman who knows she should listen to her head, but is swayed by her heart. Bening's range as an actress is growing in leaps and bounds. In every one of her scenes she exudes emotions so honest we'd swear we could feel them.

Douglas, usually so over the top and bombastic, is pulled back by Reiner. Douglas gives the impression of power without losing the humanity beneath the exterior. Even in his big show- down scene, he manages to be impassioned without losing his veneer of complete control.

There is also much to like about the supporting cast. Michael J. Fox, as the president's domestic policy advisor, is hyper, worried and amusing. Martin Sheen gives off an aura of control and capability as the Chief of Staff. Anna Deavere Smith is refreshingly unstuffy as the White House press secretary and David Paymer is more noticeable than you'd expect in the small role of White House pollster.

The screenplay by Aaron Sorkin deftly cooks up a romantic atmosphere without too much sugar-coating. Your average, high-powered career gal, no matter how capable and intelli- gent, usually doesn't land dates of such glittering magnitude. As Sydney moves into the inner circle of the White House, we see

details that ring true, from pro- tocol to presidential security. They give the film a realistic quality that presents if from feeling too much like a fairy tale. The details also extend past set dressings to the reality of modern day politics, complete with warring ideologies and the importance of polls.

Short Takes Ace Ventura: When Nature

Calls makes it onto my lifelist of Worst Movies I've Been Paid to Watch so Other's Won't Have To. The best aspect of this draggy, lowbrow comedy is that the monkey playing Jim Carrey's sidekick has better comedic timing than the actor. A mean-spir- ited and annoying Jerry Lewis clone, Carrey has committed the unpardonable cinematic sin of taking $20 million for making a

'movie in which there is not one single laugh. Rated PG-13.

Goldeneye introduces Pierce Brosnan to the role of 007, and while he's not the best Bond in the series, he is certainly a marked improvement over Timothy Dalton. Charismatic and handsome, he does so look the part in his Brioni tux, trying to outwit an evil Russian on a quest for world-wide dominion. Yes, the plot is old, but the special effects are spectacular and the humor more noticeable than in the past few outings. Rated PG-13. ***

Get Shorty is the kind of movie you'll want to see twice. John Travolta is a Miami Beach loan shark who decides he would rather make movies.

Landscape artist: A local portrait

Turns out he's the one honest guy in L.A. Gene Hackman is even better than usual as a B- movie producer and Danny DeVito is a scream as an egotis- tical super star. The dialogue is just wild, as it's funny, hip AND smart. Rated R. ***♦

Home for the Holidays is a quirky comedy from director Jodie Foster that is also an unexpectedly honest and poignant portrayal of family relationships. A stressed-out Holly Hunter returns home to her dysfunctional family for a 36-hour holiday reunion she's dreading. Some of her family's strangeness and hostility is humorous and some of it is touching, but Foster makes sure none of it is beyond the pale. Strong performances all around, especially from Hunter and Charles Durning, who plays her sympathetic dad with great warmth. Rated PG-13. ***l/2

A Vampire in Brooklyn begins on a truly frightening note as a body-laden barge crashes into a New York City harbor bearing a suavely sinis- ter Eddie Murphy. The pacing, however, is all off as the movie tries to be both a hip comedy and a chilling creature feature. It looks great as Murphy, Angela Bassett and Allen Payne turn out effective performances, but director Wes Craven seems to have lost sight of what he wanted the film to be. Rated R. •*

A Stunning victory!

Because of its townwide landscaping efforts, the Tewksbury Garden Club has been awarded the New England Regional Sterling Silver "Sears Bowl" by the National Council of State Garden Clubs - marking the first time since 1988 that a Massachusetts Club has won the award.

The club feat - a celebration of civic activity - took place at the Massachusetts Garden Club federation meeting and annual President's Conference which was held in Burlington and attracted more than 400 "garden clubbers."

"We are proud of both our community and our own contributions to it," says President Jackie Stone, in the Tewksbury "Town Crier." "It is great to receive recognition for our efforts, but we could not have accomplished it without support from town government, citizens and businesses. Beautification of Tewksbury is a team effort to which we are happy to contribute."

The Tewksbury team had gone to the conference expect- ing to receive both the National Exxon Award for its work on the town common and a National Certificate of Merit for its 1994 yearbook.

A $250,000 facelift

Because of an agreement finalized recently under Maiden Mayor Lucey and the Massachusetts Electric Company, Callahan Park - adjacent to MacDonald Stadium on Pearl Street - will receive, according to the "Daily News Mercury," a $250K facelift.

The neighborhood betterment project will include new

sod for the outfield, new infield mix, drainage improvements, installation of a new underground sprinkler system, fence repairs, and construction on the northerly side of a small off- street parking lot.

According to the "Daily News Mercury," the field at MacDonald Stadium is currently over-utilized, and the revitalized Callahan Park will free up a much needed area for Maiden High football practice. The effort, notes the DNM, is one of many made during Lucey's administration to reach out to the private sector for funding during a time of dwindling public sector funds.

Diner From S-1

these pieces , as well as part of his slide collection when he gives talks to different groups interested in the subject of diners.

A presentation Cultrera was particularly proud of was when he was the lead off speaker for the Society of Commercial Architecture's Convention in Philadelphia. It was the first time the Society had used diners as a theme.

Cultrera said, "The purpose of the Society is to recognize the unique historical significance of the twentieth century's commer- cially built environment and cultural landscapes of North America.

) As part of the group's awareness program, Cultrera 'contributes a monthly column, "The Diner Hotline" to the .Society's "News Journal".

It is in this same workshop and museum that Cultrera has £pent over five months in creating a scale model of the former Star Lite.Diner in Medford. • According to Cultrera, he spent seven weeks of spare time bn just the exterior. It took from June to mid September to complete his work on the interior.

He explained that the small pieces took most of the time. All of the work was 'lone by hand.

Cultrera not only had to fashion some of the tools he used, he also had to come up with some imaginative ways to create some of the pieces such as stools, hoods and signs.

Most of the work was done from memory. Although some of the pieces were copied from the present Main Street Diner in Woburn. The latter was built by the Worcester company as number 839.

Cultrera notes that Worcester custom built some of things in each diner. However, items such as the hoods were of similar construction.

His memory was a good source for some of the inside details of the Star Lite. He remembers working in his father's store and riding his bike to the diner to have lunch and listen to the juke box.

However, Cultrera was able to bolster his memory when the late George Surabian, a Medford pharmacist, discovered a picture of the diner in the 1991 Medford Police Relief Association sponsor book.

The picture was part of a collection by Police Officer Vincent Giorenelli.

"The picture was used in the building of the model," Cultrera said. I based the interior on my knowledge of Worcester Lunch Cars."

Pristine s 100% acrylic formula contains none ot the petroleum- based solvents responsible tor the odor sometimes associated with painting. Its ideal for hospi- tals, schools, offices, children s rooms or any other room in your home where paint odor might be a problem. You can count on Pristine to deliver all the quality you expect from Benjamin Moore paint products. It is available in flat, eggshell and semi- gloss finishes, plus an interior latex primer sealer.

LOOKING DOWN FROM the roof of Larry Cultrera's model of the Star Lite Diner you can see the detail he put into his work. The base of the counter stools (1) are made from the necks of toy, wooden wine bottles. The stool tops (2) are made from buttons. All the tables and booths (3) were made by hand from balsa wood. Cultrera said that

the tile floor (5) is not the actual style that was in the original Star Light, but was as close as he could find in a doll house shop, the hood at the rear of the counter is modeled is made of balsa wood and is modeled from Cultrera's memory and based on the hood in the Main Street Diner in Woburn, a sister of the Star Lite.

He also noted some of the exterior is similar to the that of the Portside Diner in Danvers.

Cultrera remembers that one day the diner closed for its usual two-week summer vacation and never reopened.

Although the building was only 20-years old, it is believed to have gone to a scrap yard in Chelsea and may have been eventually lost in the Chelsea Fire.

Worcester was one of the largest dining car companies until it went out of business in the 1950's.

Several examples of their construction are still active today. In Waltham you could see Wilson's Diner (Number 819) or the Railroad Diner (Number 650) in downtown Peabody

In Salem Boyle's Elm Tree Diner, once known as the Pilgrim Diner, is still in business.

In Revere, a diner enthusiast might want to eat at Beachmont Roast Beef, the building once known as the Shamrock Diner (Number 811).

Cultrera has found a listing of the various Worcester Diners from 811 to 819, and only the Star Lite is missing.

A part of Cultrera's file contains a story from the Medford Mercury in 1948, reporting on the construction of the establishment and its delivery to town.

Later in the year, the Mercury saw fit to publish a similar story on the construction of the latest version of the former Carroll's Diner. This was originally a Brill Construction Diner, which became the kitchen

of the newer, O'Mahoney style Diner.

According to Cultrera, diners did not receive their name until the 1920's. His research shows that diner history goes back to 1872 when Walter Scott of Providence R.I. converted a horse drawn wagon into a mobile canteen for night workers.

One Samuel Jones brought the idea from Providence to Worcester where he had a wagon custom built to his specifications. Shortly after that, Worcester became the center for such constructions.

Cultrera said that the design of the diners was probably taken

from the railroad cars because of the romantic feelings people of that time had for railroads.

"Diner styling has historical- ly changed with the times," Cultrera said.

In the 1950's, he notes that the companies got away from the railroad style and went into the colonial style of architecture

However, he has heard of one company, Starlite of New Jersey that is designing a 1950's style diner for construction in Florida.

As if to resemble the railroad cars that the design came from, many of the diners have done some traveling. Cultrera has

(Don Young photo) reports of one diner that started in Johnston R.I. and was moved to Long Island, N.Y. HE said it's latest incarnation is Bobby's Girl on Route 104, New Hampton N.H.

The former Flash in the Pan on Route One in Danvers has been shipped to Madrid, Spain where it is still operating and the former Sea Gull Diner in Kittery ME., went to Birmingham, England.

Incidentally, if you go into a diner today, don't think that you will necessarily get some high cholesterol, greasy spoon fare

Places such as the Railroad Diner and Main Street Diner will really surprise you with a different style of food.

Reality is expensive. Prepare yourself for college with U.S. Savings Bonds.

Remember all those college costs when you were a

student? Sure, tuition was expensive. But the bill for room

and board was often higher than tuition. Plus there were

books, a bike, typewriter...all those things college students

needed to survive on campus.

Now, a mere fifteen years later, parents shell out over

twice what it was in the early 80s. Those $300 typewriters

have been replaced by $1,900 computers. So what's it

going to cost when your children are ready? And what will

replace the computer — a virtual reality college, simulator?

How much will that be?

Start saving now for those future college costs with

U.S. Savings Bonds. They're guaranteed safe, and

earn Treasury-based rates. You can get them through most

banks or through employers offering the Payroll

Savings Plan. Plus families and individuals who use

Savings Bonds for college tuition may qualify for a special

tax exclusion.*

Real Estate sale up in 3rd quarter Low mortgage rates, stable

home prices and a series of revisions to the state's Title 5 septic regulations acted like magnets attracting home buyers back to the housing market in record numbers this summer, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) said in a report

• today. Third quarter sales of

. detached single family homes increased 3.7 percent vs. the

; same period last year, rising from 10,944 units closed in 1994 to 11,353 this year, and condominium sales improved 6.3 percent over the previous year, from 2,028 a year ago to 2,156 in the third quarter of 1995, the report shovred.

"Interest rates have dropped by more than one and one half points since January, and these lower finance rates combined with the moderate appreciation we've seen over the past year, have created a great opportunity for buyers to get into the market," said MAR President Richard H. Healey. In fact, the 13,509 residential sales recorded across the state during the third quarter of 1995 is the most since 1988, when 13,638 units sold.

"Earlier this year, there was a lot of apprehension and uncer- tainty in the market as buyers

/ waited for the Title 5 issue to be resolved and for 30 year mortgage rates to fall below eight percent," Healey added. "But with interest rates in the sevens since June, affordability, levels have improved to the point where many first time buyers who were previously priced out of the market have been able to pursue the dream of home ownership." The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage in the third quarter was 7.82 percent, according to the MAR, dowr from 8.89 percent in the firsl three months of the year.

The statewide increase ir

detached single family home sales during the third quarter follows four consecutive quarters in which activity has decreased compared to the same period the previous year.

including sales declines of 16.9 percent and 20.2 percent in the first and second quarter of 1995 respectively. Healey cautioned that the recent growth in sales could be short lived however, if the state Legislature fails to address the point of sale inspection requirement of Title 5.

Regionally, significant sales gains were reported in greater Boston, the Northeast region and on Cape Cod and the Islands, where detached single family home sales increased 14.9, 3.6 and 7.9 percent respectively, and condo sales improved 19.7 and 5.5 percent respectively. Elsewhere, sales activity declined modestly compared to last year's healthy numbers, but the volume of sales in the remaining regions still suggests a strong market, especially for

entry level and starter homes. In its report, the MAR also

announced that the statewide average selling price for detached single family homes sold in the Bay State was $186,341 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 0.7 percent, over the 1994 third quarter average of $185,115. Meanwhile, in the condo market, the statewide average selling price rose 9.9 percent last quarter, from an average of $113,222 in the third quarter of 1994 to $124,420 in the same period this year. The price increases mark the tenth consecutive quarter in which the statewide average selling price has appreciated over the same period one year earlier.

"We're seeing a lot more confidence in the condo market these days," Healey remarked.

"In particular, the number of distressed sales and bank owned units selling at below market rates is down dramatically, and this has helped property values recover. Demand from first time buyers also is strong right now, and where supply is tight this is

driving up prices." Sales and price data from the

MAR report reflect transactions occurring through Realtor affiliated multiple listing services in the Commonwealth, and account for approximately 40-50 percent of all real estate sales Massachusetts.

TRADITIONS SPECIAL SECTION We want to hear from you!

Beginning today and over the next several issues Middlesex East will share some of the many "Traditions" that families and individuals have developed over the years and we would like very much to include your personal tradition and share it with our readers.

Among those we share today include a grandmother's special way of sharing Christmas with her grandchildren, a tale of orphan stuffed animals and a reminder that Christmas is really a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

There are many others and hopefully with the help of our readership there will be more in the weeks ahead.

Please join us and share your cherished memories, too. We won't print your name if you would prefer not too and don't worry about a misspelled word or proper grammar. It's the message we are interested in.

Tell us about you family traditions, special memories of Christmas, Hanukkah, or Thanksgiving, or share with us how you manage to keep the magic and spirit in the holidays.

Mail your "Tradition" to: Middlesex East P.O. Box 240 Reading, Ma. 01867

Today's "Traditions" include:

Buying presents for my grandchildren was always a dilemma. Kids hate clothes and bonds for Christmas- so I hit upon the idea that they could pick out anything from any toy store they wanted I with a few no-no's from their parents). We make a day of it for each of them - never any two together. I set a price limit, so they shop very slowly and carefully. They try out all the things they think they would like (Grandmothers NEVER hurry their grandkids) and then we have lunch or early dinner, usually a happy meal or pizza at a place they choose. They know that gramma has to take the presents home with her to wrap for Christmas morning, and they do so anticipate that favorite toy we picked out together. It is a blast for both of

entertaining woes

Middlesex East

T RADITIONS SPECIAL SECTION

Thanksgiving dinner is less than as hour away, the house is full of family and friends, and you're ransacking the refrigerator in mad search for a contain- er of sour cream to add to the potatoes.

To avoid revisiting this holiday nightmare, Wednesday, November 15 was declared Whirlpool Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day". Created to help consumers start the holiday entertaining season on the right foot, Whirlpool Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day encourages them to rid their refrigerators of USO's (unidentified shriveled objects) and other outdated foods before diving into the cooking frenzy typical this time of year.

A toll-free number staffed by home economists, registered dietitians and other "refrigerator specialists" has been established to provide answers to the most frustrating and challenging refrigerator woes. Consumers can call 1-800-95- FRIDGE, from November 1 to December 15, Monday - Friday between the hours of 9 AM - 5 PMCST.

Martha Reek, senior home economist, refrigeration, for Whirlpool Corporation, has developed useful cleaning tips for Whirlpool Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day.

the drain. A Meat basting syringe works fine for this. ••Wipe down jars, bottles and

containers before returning to refrigerator.

••The drip pan underneath the refrigerator is out of sight.m so special effort must be made to clean it. Remove it and wash thoroughly with warm soapy water. ^Vacuum condenser coils two

to six times a year (more often in homes with pets.)

•'•Power or mechanical failure that caused food spoilage ^/•Cleaning agents leaving a strong chemical or fragrant odor.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO REMOVE ODORS

••Wash interior walls thoroughly with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart warm water. /•Pour box of baking soda in

jelly roll pan and place on shelves to absorb odors. ••Buy activated charcoal (available at appliance stores) and spread onto jelly roll pans. Place on shelves inside refrigerator. ••Place freshly ground coffee in cereal bowls inside the refrig-

with water. This method takes five to six days, but strong odors will be eliminated. ••There are several commercial products available for odor removal. Some may not rid the odor, but simply mask it while others are not safe for use around food. Read product labels carefully to determine if a cleaner or deodorizer is safe to use in a refrigerator, then carefully follow instructions for use.

HOW TO PREVENT ODOR PROBLEMS

••Discard refrigerated leftovers, vegetables and dairy products that are beyond safe- keeping. They can create odor problems if left too long.

How long do I cook this turkey?

The National Turkey Federation (NTF) is pleased to announce that the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has approved a new timetable for roasting turkey. The new roasting times are based on an exten- sive cooking study, coordinated by NTF, and significantly change the roasting chart that has been accepted for twenty years.

NTF initiated this study in response to reports from consumers and test kitchens that turkeys were cooking faster than timetables directed. The new timetable will help consumers prepare a moist turkey without jeopardizing food safety.

"We know that new breeding practices produce turkeys that have a higher ratio of white meat to dark meat than in previous generations of turkeys. While it's vital for food safety that whole birds are cooked to an end point temperature of 180 degrees F., it's important that the moisture and taste quality of the breast meat are preserved by protecting the meat from overcooking.

Recent studies indicate that turkeys are reaching temperatures for food safety and doneness earlier than currently published timetables suggest. Thus, it's possible to save considerable time in preparation while having an even more delicious

turkey to serve at mealtime" Ken Rutledge, NTF Executive Committee Chairman.

The study concluded that the current chart could be revised by as much as forty-five minutes to an hour, without jeopardizing food safety or quality. Microbiologists involved with the study are confident that critical end point temperatures will be reached with the new timetable. However, use of a meat ther- mometer is highly recommended to determine final doneness.

Additionally, USDA prepared a list of critical and optional cooking instructions for whole birds. Points considered "critical' by USDA microbiologists are included in the new timetable. "Optional" points may be included on packaging by processors, or a point of purchase by retail- ers.

NTF has produced a brochure that includes the new timetable,

with critical and optional steps, for roasting a perfect turkey, consumers may receive a free copy by sending a self addressed stamped, business size envelope to: Roasting Brochure, 11319 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virginia 22091.

NTF represents all segments of the American turkey industry, including every U.S. processor as well as growers, breeders, hatchery owners and allied industry.

Casual entertaining for the holidays

L.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21,22,1995-PAGE 88-3

dhosts and hostesses CJl■■■&' gear up for the year's

I most hectic entertaining season, they're

burdened with nagging questions:

Should the meal be sit-down or buffet?

Do I bring out the good china or use paper plates?

Will I have enough room for everyone?

While there will always be anxiety associated with hosting a holiday gathering, there's good news for harried party planners - casual entertaining is making a comeback.

"The holidays are all about the comforts of home and the company of good friends," says Beverly Church, co-author of "The Joys of Entertaining" and a consultant to Bolla Wines. "Gone are the days when fussy, formal gatherings were the standard. Nowadays, people just want to have fun - and if the host is having a good time, chances are the guests are, too."

To make your next holiday celebration one that your guests

will remember fondly, Church and Bella Wines offer these tips:

•Plan ahead. Whenever possible, do "busy work" ahead of time, including shopping, preparing part of the meal a day or two in advance, keeping detailed lists, cleaning the house, and even setting the table the day before And always have more food and wine on hand than you think you'll need - running to the store in the middle of a party is no fun.

•Start out right. A gracious, warm greeting at the door from the host or hostess is essential to make your guests feel at home. Remember to introduce guests to one another as soon as possible

•Go with what you know. Simplicity is the key, so stick with the basics - the recipe that's never steered you wrong or the wine everyone seems to love. If your strength is decorating, give it your best and leave the rest, such as cooking or cleaning, to the professionals.

TR SPECIAL SECTION •Pay attention to detail. The

right personal touches can make even the most casual party stand out. Little things like hand-delivered invitations, beautifully presented food and homemade favors - such as baked holiday treats or hand-painted ornaments - can make all the difference.

•Recruit friends. Try a "pot luck" gathering, in which you invite guests to bring a favorite holiday dish or recipe that has special meaning. You might even try the "hands on" approach: provide festive, personalized aprons and let your guests prepare the meal with you.

•Do the unexpected. Host a beach party in the middle of December, or invite friends to a holiday ice skating party. To get your guests in a festive mood, arrange for dancing or caroling between courses of the meal.

And Church also has good advice for party guests - when you're invited to a holiday get- together, remember the amount of time and energy the host or hostess has invested.

"You might consider expressing thanks with a small, thoughtful gift," she suggests. "Some of the best gifts include homemade holiday treats in colorful bags, rosemary rings or orchid plants, and the ever-popular bottle of wine wrapped in a festive bag or ribbon."

Orphaned animals - Every year sometime after

Christmas we go out to a local store and look for a Christmas stuffed animal that had no home for the holidays. The next Christmas season it is placed atop one of two beams in our family room along with many others that have been purchased through the years. In this way an orphaned stuffed animal has a permanent Christmas home.

R.H. Waburn

For the world, Christmas is ' an event marked yearly on cal- endars. It is covered in tinsel, wrapped in glitter and shrouded in cellophane. For the believer, Christ lives in his heart every day of his lice, after accepting Him as Savior.

When I saw the invitation today in my copy of the Woburn Daily Times, to write in expressing a favorite "tradition," I

could not ignore the opportunity to share my thoughts. What do I hope to leave my children? It's not a tradition. I hope to leave them the knowledge of Christ as Savior. I pray they will understand the Biblical message of Christ's birth, His death and His resurrection. I trust they will know that thousand years ago, a child was born to a virgin but that's not the end of the story. That child grew up, fulfilled the prophecy of scripture and died on Calvary's tree so that sinners like you and me could obtain true salvation. His blood washed away our sins; He paid the price. We are saved by His grace if we only trust in Him.

I want this message to be the one that my children will trust in and live by, for this is the one genuine hope they will have. In Jesus Christ is a glorious, blessed promise.

The Holy Bible says, in the Book of John, chapter three and verse sixteen:

"For God so loved the world, that

He gave His only begotten Son, that

whosoever believeth in Him should not

TRADITIONS

For the Thanksgiving Holiday, my husband and I take our two children and black Lab, Willow, to Camden, Maine. We prepare a turkey dinner for 14 with all the fixings at my parent's home. My husband and two children always make the stuffing from my husband's old family recipe. It's a great experience for my children because they get to spend time with all of our older relatives (everyone there is between 70 and 100 years old). After the meal, the men retire to the living room to watch the game, soon to be fast asleep. After the ladies finish the dishes, they too drift off - my husband and children are the only ones left. As we walk from room to room, every year we are the only ones awake This is a family tradition that I do not plan to pass down to my children. But who knows?

Our family tradition began when our son was preparing to celebrate his first Christmas. It was the first Saturday in December when my husband's entire family gathered at his brother's house in Princeton.

Bobbie Botticelli of Reading, owner of Colonial Manor Realty, has a very special tradition at Thanksgiving. Every person invited to her home for Thanksgiving dinner is presented with a Christmas ornament. Each year's ornaments are tied to a special theme.

Years of adherence to this nadition have resulted in a unique collection of holiday ornaments that evoke special memories for many family members and friends. At Christmas, Bobbie's home is transformed into an enchanted village complete with animated figurines and a special Christmas theme in every room.

The Botticelli residence is open to many family and friends of Christmas Eve. Upon arrival, every guest's picture is taken and the photo presented to them for the New Year.

Rick Nazzaro of Reading, owner of Colonial Manor Realty, has a very special Christmas tradition. Every year for the past thirteen years, he has gathered this three nieces and one nephew and gone out to choose their Christmas tree.

The children had lost their father just before Christmas those many years ago and it was important to their Uncle Rick to make sure the kids celebrated the holiday with joy not sadness.

So, even though the nieces have graduated from high school and gone on to college and other pursuits and his nephew has started high school, it's still a special time - a special observance - for all. No matter where everyone is, each one makes sure to be around home to go out and choose that special Christmas tree.

Colonial Manor Realty associate, Kathie Losinger, of Reading, gathers the family together each Thanksgiving day to watch "It's a Wonderful Life." This tradition has been observed

for many years and, according to Kathie, sets the tone for the coming holidays.

"This movie truly reflects the spirit of the season, it brings us back to a time when people in a town knew everybody else and looked out for each other. It was a small, close-knit community where family values were all- important. We look forward to watching it each year. We especially like the part that men- tions my husband's and my hometown. It helps us to feel like we're sharing the day with family and friends who cannot be with us."

Colonial Manor Realty's Linda Reith of Reading, gives new meaning to having company for the holidays. Each Christmas, her family (including her husband, children, mother, brothers, sister and respective spouses) spend Christmas Eve night at her home so that they can all be together Christmas morning. It's a tradition they have enjoyed for many years and they look forward to passing the ritual on to the younger family members.

Colonial Manor Realty has established a special tradition which is repeated each and every year at their annual Christmas Party, Before enjoying dinner, everyone gathers around Lou D'Angelo of Stoneham, (Uncle Louie on this special evening) to listen to him

recite "The Night Before Christmas."

For a short time, everyone is transported back to their own childhood and the excitement and magic of Christmas through the reading of this wonderful poem.

In this fast-paced and busy, world, it's important to create special traditions and warm, memories that we can repeat each year to remind us of the : true meaning and significance of the holiday season - now and throughout the coming year.

B.K. from Reading spreads a • special picnic blanket beneath the Christmas tree every v Christmas Eve. Together, they '■ enjoy their Christmas Eve "picnic." It's a time to reflect, to be . together as a family and take time to admire the twinkling lights and beautiful tree and the serenity of this very special day. .

She started it when her children were small. This year, her married son had a child and he plans to continue the same tradition with his own little girl. B.K. had no idea that she was starting a new family tradition for future generations.

Bob of Billerica has all his children and grandchildren gather together in his home for Christmas Eve. On Christmas day, the tradition holds that the little ones stay at home with their toys and gifts and he and his wife visit with them in their ' own homes.

Thanksgiving feasting from 1700s to today

Supptam.nl lo Doily Timw - Chronicta (Wobum, Reading, Winchwtar, luriingten, WoMMd|, Lynnd.ld Villager, No. Reading Imnicripi, Wilmington J. Towlobury Town Crior, Slonoham Indoponoont, Doily N»w» Moreury (Moldan, Modferd, MalroMf

Food preparation may have begun weeks earlier, but early 19h century New Englanders had to wait until there was an official proclamation from their governors before officials celebrations of a Thanksgiving holiday could begin.

"The traditions we follow in present day Thanksgiving celebrations are very much the same as those that were observed in the 18th and 19th centuries," said Jack Larkin, Director of Research, Collections and Library at Old Sturbridge Village. "All ever America, we eat the same kinds of foods when we celebrate that New England farm families did in the 1700s and 1800s.

In fact, Larkin points to diary entries from the 1830s which discuss the weeks of food preparation and anticipation of family members gathering together to feast. "Our 18th and 19th century forebears pretty much created the template of our modern day Thanksgiving celebration," said Larkin.

Early in the last century, Thanksgiving would be pro- claimed by the governors late in the fall, usually in early December. Ministers would read the proclamation during worship services, though townspeople would likely have heard rumors before then.

"New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, as well as the six New England states, had well established Thanksgiv- ing celebration traditions by the 1830s," said Larkin. The holiday spread as New Englanders and New England ideas moved further west and south.

When it came to food, most New England housewives did

not wait until the official proclamation to begin the feasts preparations.

"The first sign of Thanksgiving might be mincemeat," said Debra Friedman, Old Sturbridge Village's Program Assistant for Foodways. "When farmers were slaughtering beef, most families would begin preparation of mincemeat, which then consisted of meat, suet, spices, fruit, and alcohol. Plum puddings or other cakes soaked with brandy might be made weeks in advance."

Closer to the holiday, families would kill their own turkey, or more likely buy one from a drover, but that would not be the only meat of course. Other treats would include meat pies, roast mutton, and boiled stuffed chickens. Accompaniments might be onions cooked in cream sauce and "turnip sauce,' which is turnip with equal parts of potatoes, butter and cream.

"Thanksgiving meant more labor intensive foods and fancier cooking than at other times of the year," said Friedman. "Women might make rolls instead of bread, mashed potatoes instead of boiled potatoes. Fruit and meat pies were made of pumpkin, squash, apples, cranberries, mincemeat or chicken."

"Besides the feasting and the religious commemoration, family gatherings were central to Thanksgiving," said Larkin. "sons and daughters who had moved away would come home for Thanksgiving. Weddings were often planned around the holiday. It was a good time to travel, and the crops were already harvested."

TR ADITIONS SPECIAL SECTION What did children thmK oi

Thanksgiving? "They looked forward to it with great excitement but they were also getting ready to start the school year, said Larkin, explaining that the winter school term usually began after the Thanksgiving holiday and ran through the Town Meeting day in the spring.

Families would likely begin the day by attending services, and then return home for hours of feasting. It was the biggest holiday of the year, and people would wear their best clothes.

"We read in diaries and letters that although the holiday has an important religious dimension, there was still a strong emphasis on the food," said Larkin. There are several descriptions of how family members gorged themselves and lay around feeling overfed and very sleepy not unlike today."

Thanksgiving festivities at Old Sturbridge Village on Thursday, November 23 include re-created Thanksgiving Dinners at the Freeman Farm and The Fitch House, and a Thanksgiving Service at the Meetinghouse. On Friday, November 24, a shooting match

will take place, showing the town's marksmen displaying their musket firing skills. As Thanksgiving was also a popular time for weddings in early New England, Saturday, November 25, will feature a 19th century wedding with preparations taking place at the Freeman Farm House and the Towne House. Visitors to the Village can continue to learn about the history of our nation's oldest holiday throughout Thanksgiving Weekend. Other activities planned for November 24, 25, and 26 include story- telling, music, wagon rides, and hearth cooking.

Old Sturbridge Village , in Sturbridge, MA.,is an outdoor living history museum and recreated village where histori- cally costumed staff demon- strate the daily life, work and community celebrations of a rural New England town of the 1830's. The museum covers over 200 acres with more than 40 exhibits, including restored houses, gardens, meetinghouses, mills a district school, working farm, country store, and craft shops such as a blacksmith shop and tin shop.

The Tea Club offers a very

different holiday gift idea Here's a unique and special

holiday gift that will be appreciated throughout the year, a membership in the Tea Club. Each month, your gift recipient will receive two extraordinary selections of the world's finest full leaf teas. Each is carefully selected from the very best of hundreds of different harvests that are sampled throughout the year by the club's seasoned tea tasters.

The result is an astounding array of unique teas, each pos- sessing a distinctly complex flavor and character all its own. It is an experience that will dazzle even the most discriminating person on your gift list.

Gift memberships of 3-12 months are available to fit any budget. The first month includes a handsome gift card, two extra large single cup mesh tea

infusers and two selections of tea delivered in an elegantly crafted imported tea storage box.

Each additional month includes the delivery of two dis- tinctive selections from a diverse variety of fine black, green, oolong and herbal teas enough to make 40-60 cups per month. Information on the background and origins of each tea is included, along with serving suggestions and instructions for proper brewing.

Perhaps the best part is the affordable price. The first month of membership is $23.75. Each additional month is only $7.90, and if you buy 11 months, the 12th month is free. Tax, shipping and handling are additional.

A magical Ozark Christmas

PREPARING FOR XMAS—Wakefield Center Neighborhood Assn. members Peter Scott (on ladder) and John Lower with daughter, Victoria, 6, in his arms, help string Xmas lights, (3,600 in all) in trees on Wakefield Common in preparation for Lighting of the Lights festivities on Fri., Dec. 1st.

(Don Young Photo)

Have you ever, as a child or an adult, unwrapped a Christmas gift that was a complete surprise and a total delight? A similar experience awaits as you discover Ozark Mountain Christmas in Branson, Missouri.

Millions of lights and thousands of smiles welcome holiday travelers from near and far to this enchanted Christmas fantasy land, nestled in the gift- wrapped hills of southwest Missouri.

Known as America's Music Show Capital, Branson is home to all new holiday productions during November and December. Andy Williams, the Radio City Rockettes, Bobby Vinton, Jim Stafford, Mel Tillis, Tony Orlando and many others blend elaborate costumes, stage sets and dazzling special effects with the gentleness and warmth of the season.

The magic of Ozark Mountain Christmas is visible for miles and miles. It's as if someone sprinkled Stardust upon the seven Ozark communities that unite to create the Festival of Lights - one of the most spectacular lighting celebrations in the Midwest. Like snowflakes blan- keting the Ozarks hills, Christmas lights adorn trees, tunnels, buildings, bridges and

Hundreds of dazzling light displays, including animated elves, candy cane forests, ice skaters, swans and snowmen, transform Branson into a holi-

day wonderland. At Silver Dollar City, a turn-of-the-centu-

ry theme park, visitors gather on the town square to light candles and sing carols in anticipation of the dramatic, nightly

lighting of a five-story special effects Christmas tree.

Dozens and dozens of shops and boutiques throughout the town dress up for the holidays. With 193 factory outlet stores offering designer name fashions and merchandise, clerks who say "thank you," and bic savings

at the cash register, Branson is one of the country's top holiday shopping destinations.

Ozark Mountain Christmas is a celebration of the season you won't find any place else on earth. It's a place for family and friends - a place where you can make yourself at home for the holidays.

For more information, contact the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce at 417- 3344136.

Travel tips

To Grandmother's house we go Ahh, the holidays-they bring

glad tidings to families all over the world. But, unfortunately for some, the holidays can also bring bumpy car rides, over- booked airlines and last-minute planning to further complicate a hectic schedule.

Here are some hints to help you and your family enjoy a relaxing holiday:

•Make the system work for you. As you begin planning your holiday trip this year, don't spend needless time calling every airline, hotel and car rental company when you can make one phone call to your local travel agent. At no extra charge, a travel agent can access the lowest airline rate, hotel package and car rental rate available and can book your reservations right over the phone.

By utilizing a travel agent this season, you can sort through the maze of discounts and promotion to find the travel package that best suits your needs. What's more, travel agents can arrange for airport

shuttle pickups from your home and also supply tourist activity information and restaurant rec- ommendations.

•Don't sleep on the couch - remember, it's a holiday. If you're like the majority of Americans, now is one of the few times that you can get away., So take the extra step now to make this a relaxing vacation by making reservations at a hotel.

Many hotel companies have great weekend packages available-even during the busy holiday season. For example,

Hilton's BounceBack Weekend package offers special rates of $69 - giving you another excuse not to sleep on a relatives sofa this year. For more information, call you travel agent of 1-800 - HILTONS.

•Don't be prompt. Be early. With airline reservations made, ticket in hand and hotel reservations confirmed, it is still wise to give yourself extra traveling time During the holiday season, airports are at their busiest and

traffic can be unusually heavy. Be sure to call your travel agent before you leave to confirm your flight's departure

Try bringing along personal items from home - such as a favorite pillow, stuffed animal or photograph - to help you and

your children feel more at ease in your "home away from home."

•Keep your hands free while traveling by pre-shipping packages. There is no reason to crunch gift boxes into cramped spaces as you travel to your holiday destination. Make your trip more comfortable by shipping vour holiday gifts before you

leave home. Many shipping companies can send your gifts any- where in the world and guarantee your packages arrival time. Or, consider buying gifts when you arrive at your final destination.

•For kids, there's no place like home. For those who opt for a hotel stay or who choose to bunk with Aunt Vera and her seven long-haired cats, unfamil- iar surroundings can make for a difficult night's sleep, especially for children.

Hostess with the mostest

Planning on hosting what you hope will be some memorable and festive dinner parties over the1 holidays? If so, here are some helpful etiquette tips and serving suggestions from Replacements, Ltd., the world's largest retailer of discontinued and active china, crystal, flatware and collectibles.

Always have extra flatware on the buffet table someone may drop a spoon or fork.

Make sure you have all the necessary serving bowls and platters ready in the kitchen, so

Middlesex East


you're not looking around for these at the last minute.

Put a pitcher of ice water in the refrigerator and have extra butter on hand, if butter is to be served.

When dinner is ready, fill the water glasses three fourths full and keep them filled throughout the meal.

The guest who sits to your right (the right of the host) is the first to be served. Continue serving to the right and serve each person in order.

Serve all food always from the left. ■ Water, wine and other bever-

ages should be poured from the

pour water without lifting the glass from the table.

Always remove the dishes for one course before going on to the next.

If you're using service plates, these should be removed from the table when it is time for the first hot plate.

Never leave the place in front of your guest bare. Always exchange one plate for another until dessert time.

Pick up glasses by the lower portion or stem. Never handle them from the top.

What gift's brewing this Christmas? If you're like most of Amer-

ica nowadays, you may have already gotten on the coffee bandwagon. But it's always fun to introduce gourmet coffee to those who still think coffee is a generic product called "blend" that comes in cans or freeze- dried packages.

Gourmet coffees make great holiday gifts...and quick con- verts among the uninitiated.

Whether your taste tends

toward caffe latte or a decaf cappuccino, chances are Gloria Jean's Gourmet Coffees created it, has it or can get it. That's what makes this the perfect holiday gift for all tastes. Some of

to help promote holiday decorating safety. The safety experts at UL offer the following tips and precautions when decorating your tree and home this holiday season.

When purchasing live, cut trees, carefully inspect the nee- dles. If they're brown or break easily, the greenery isn't fresh and poses a greater fire risk. When taking the tree home, keep the base holder filled with water at all times.

If your family prefers decorating with an artificial tree, purchase one with the UL Mark. UL tests artificial trees for, among other hazards, flamma- bility.

Place the tree away from fire places, radiators and other heat sources. Be sure it doesn't block a doorway.

Check the markings on your electrical decorations to determine the maximum number of decorative lights (light strings) and decorations that may be connected together. Overloading extension cords could cause the cord to overheat and start a fire.

Don't allow children or pets to play with light strings, candle lights or other electrical decorations. These decorations aren't toys and could produce a deadly ware for those special, holiday electric ^ghock^ if they are mis- get to gethers, Replacements,

JL Ltd. has over three million pieces of china, crystal, and flatware in over 62,000 patterns,

enough to satisfy even the heartiest appetite.

For more information, call 1- 800-REPLACE (1-800-737-5223). Or write: Replacements, Ltd. 1089 Knox Road, p.O. Box 26029, Greensboro, NC 27420.

Before using any light strings, animated displays or other electrical products outdoors, make sure that the product is intended for outdoor use. Look for the familiar UL symbol and the phrase, "for indoor use and outdoor use." Theses products have been designed to withstand the damp conditions and extreme temperatures related to outdoor use.

Turn off all electrical light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

Make sure your home is equipped with working UL listed smoke detectors and fire extin- guishers. Don't forget to install, test and maintain these devices in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. hopes that by putting "Operation Decoration" into effect at your home, you and your loved ones will enjoy a happier and safer holiday season.
