Sen. Moore details vision for the Valley

Armed with a comprehensive outline ofpriorities encompassing economic pros-perity, preservation of open space, andtransportation and infrastructure needs,Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge, deliv-ered his vision for the Blackstone Valleyduring a public forum at Blackstone ValleyRegional Vocational Technical HighSchool recently. The event was held inconjunction with a partnership projectthrough which the Blackstone ValleyChamber of Commerce, Central Massa-chusetts Regional Planning Commissionand the Blackstone Valley National Heri-tage Corridor Commission are developinga plan for regional growth and creating amap designating priority areas in theBlackstone Valley for development andpreservation.

"Progress in the Blackstone Valleyrequires a strategy for fostering our power-ful manufacturing sector and small busi-ness base, maintaining our strong naturalheritage, and delivering on the needs ofour communities," said Moore. "I applaudthe Chamber and Commissions for takingon this project and leading the discussionto help the Valley move forward."

Under economic prosperity, Moore dis-cussed the Valley's need for a RegionalEconomic Development Strategy similarto that which the state is required to devel-op pursuant to the Economic DevelopmentReorganization law that was enacted dur-ing the last legislative session. "The Valleyneeds to incorporate the dynamic of beinglocated on a border with another state andseek ways to capitalize on this geographicposition," he said. The Senator also point-ed to the need to support existing business-es while expanding opportunities for postsecondary education and promoting basicskills for personal and financial success.

Continuing, Moore suggested that pre-serving open space requires a focus onprotecting the national significance of theBlackstone Valley through two key

The Uxbridge School Department ispleased to announce that it will launcha one-to-one iPad initiative for highschool students starting in the 2012-2013 school year. All students ingrades 9-12 will receive an iPad in thenext month that will stay with themthroughout their career at UxbridgeHigh School. “The educational possi-bilities with this devise are endless,”said Superintendent Kevin Carney.“With the new building project Ux-bridge had an unprecedented opportu-nity to put the latest technology direct-ly into students & teachers hands,”Assistant Director of TechnologyPatrick Mistler believes that the infra-

structure choices the TechnologyCommittee made will allow integra-tion of virtually any technology plat-form in the future. The Committeedetermined that iPads would bestserve the academic needs ofUxbridge’s students and teachers.“Our first priority was the educationalvalue to our students and teachers. TheiPad already has thousands of educa-tional applications, most at low or nocost. We want to make sure that ourstudents and teachers had program-ming that would benefit their educa-tional practice immediately and iPadgives us that option,” said TaraBennett, High School Principal.

Mistler called the iPad, “a portableand personalized intuitive device… agame changer for education.”

While few questioned the education-al benefits of such a program, therewas concern about the ongoing impactto the annual operating budget. Toillustrate the sustainability of such aprogram, Business Manager DonSawyer compared forecasts of the2013 budget using the iPad initiativeand a traditional desk-top computingenvironment. By extracting savings inseveral of the school departmentaccounts, Sawyer is confident that thiswill not have a negative impact on theannual operating budget. “If we didn’t

have numbers that show we can sus-tain this initiative, we wouldn’t beadvocating for it,” said Sawyer.

Uxbridge High School teachers areexcited about changes this technologywill have on their work in the class-room. Justin Pominville, Math teacherand Dean of Students, is looking for-ward to integrating the technology ona daily basis. “I am looking forward toproviding our students an opportuni-ty to be more competitive [than theirpeers] by having experiences with uti-lizing technology” in a variety of set-tings. Teachers received their iPads inJanuary, and have been working to

A letter from the Superintendent of Schools in UxbridgeStill time tohost a FreshAir Child

Summer vacation is upon us and youstill have the chance to make it memo-rable for a New York City child! Eachsummer, over 4,000 inner-city childrenvisit suburban, rural and small towncommunities across 13 states fromVirginia to Maine and Canada throughThe Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer HostFamily Program. By volunteering as ahost family in Southern Massachusetts,you can help give a child a break fromthe heat and noise of the crowded citystreets while enjoying a vacation inyour own backyard! The Fresh AirFund is currently seeking more familiesto give inner-city children a Fresh Airexperience this summer.

“It’s really worth giving a child a newexperience. Having the ability to walkout the door and have their feet in thegrass is so refreshing,” says one FreshAir host about her Fresh Air child. “Shejust enjoyed being in the backyard withus. We kept it very basic and enjoyedlaughing together on the porch.”

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent,not-for-profit agency, has provided freesummer vacations to more than 1.7 mil-lion New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. FreshAir children are boys and girls, from sixto 18 years old, who live in New YorkCity. Children on first-time visits aresix to 12 years old and stay for one ortwo weeks. Children who are reinvitedby host families may continue with TheFresh Air Fund through age 18 and canenjoy extended trips. Over 65 percentof all children are reinvited to stay withtheir host families, year after year.

For more information on hosting aFresh Air child, please contact geriFogg at 508-372-9064 or The Fresh AirFund at 800-367-0003. You can alsovisit them online at www.freshair.org.

youngsters from across the Blackstone Valley enjoyed aTeddy Bears' Picnic on the back lawn of the Uxbridge FreePublic Library as part of the Library's free summer readingprogram for children. Children came with their favoriteteddy bears (or stuffed horses, penguins, and kitties) andenjoyed picnicking with other local families and friends.Children's imaginations soared as they listened to teddy bear-themed books read by Mrs. Amy Cowen and sang songs suchas "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" and the "Cool Bear Hunt." TheABC Store in Milford donated two teddy bear outfits whichwere raffled off at no charge to those in attendance. The sum-mer reading program is sponsored by the Friends of theUxbridge Free Public Library, the Massachusetts Board ofLibrary Commissioners, and the Massachusetts LibrarySystem.

Four local school districts will receive early reimbursements forschool building projects funded with the use of state dollars, accord-ing to Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge. Hopedale, Uxbridge,Mendon-Upton Regional, and Bellingham School Districts will eachreceive the accelerated payment as part of a project funding agree-ment with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA),the state’s school building funding steward.

“This is great news for the towns that will benefit from the accel-

erated payment program,” said Moore. “I appreciate Treasurergrossman, and the entire MSBA Board’s foresight in perpetuatingthis program which, in conjunction with an anticipated increase inFY13 education funding, will assist communities to reduce theirdebt and may even provide further means to invest in classroomneeds, teacher development, and other necessary school expenses.”

The accelerated payments for 1st and 2nd quarter Prior grant pay-ments may assist communities with increased investment earnings,and may also reduce short-term borrowing costs related to cash flowneeds during the fiscal year.

As a result of the accelerated Prior grant payment schedule:• Hopedale Public Schools will receive $318,483 in conjunctionwith its Memorial Elementary School project:• The Uxbridge Public School will receive $190,247 for its WhitinMiddle School project, $402,160 for its Uxbridge High School proj-ect, and $268,758 for its Earl D. Taft Elementary School project,totaling $861,165 in accelerated payment;• The Mendon-Upton Regional School District will receive$337,880 as part of MSBA’s reimbursement for its NipmucRegional High School project; and• Bellingham Public Schools will receive $1,571,932 associated

with its High School project, and $690,948 associated with itsMemorial Middle School project.

The MSBA is Massachusetts’ clearinghouse for all capital expen-ditures for public school districts in the Commonwealth. One pennyof the state sale tax is appropriated to the MSBA to fund schoolbuilding projects. Sen. Moore was one of the original sponsors ofthe legislation to establish the MSBA, as has often credited theagency for its performance in making the process of buildingschools in Massachusetts more professional and organized, reducingwaste, and improving the quality of school construction with “rarecommon-sense standards.”

IT’S ONLY FAIR

At times the sound of silence isenough; at other times preferred.Therefore, when you must speak, no wordshould obfuscate, no word should addambiguity. Forget thesehollow words, words undefined, like…fair, hope and change and “Yes we can!”Please, do not once more from mindless prompters read and speak hollow words;hope, change and fair and “Yes we can!”

Unalienable rights, thoserights for which many gave their lives, express our hopes --- substantially. The con-man hopes for easy marks,and addicts for a cheaper fix, but we, just common men, a voice.You spoke of change; We ask, “Change what ? Change when? Change how?” Yes, we can...“what ?”Spare us the echoes of these words, these hollow words. It’s only fair!

initiatives: the proposed BlackstoneRiver Valley Industrial Heritage Nation-al Park and the Blackstone Rivergreenway/Bikeway. In describing thenational park, a proposal that is current-ly under consideration by Congress,Sen. Moore argued, "It will bring touristdollars to help the regional economyand technical assistance in planning forthe future development andhistoric/environmental preservation inthe Valley."

Lastly, Moore detailed steps to addresstransportation and infrastructure needs,expounding on initiatives like promot-ing alternative transportation, expand-ing traditional transportation, and otherinfrastructure issues such as water qual-ity, alternative energy, and school-basedhealth centers.

UnidentifiedSwiftly; ever silent; o’er pale April skiesIt fled like a wraith; Too quick for the eye.Atmosphere parted and fanned it to flameAnd I pondered in wonder from whence this thing came-At first view this orb seemed a comet to me Then it altered it’s flight, veering off to the lee,Now how can a comet; an inanimate thing,Change vector in flight as a bird on the wing?And why do they hover with metallic eyesSurveying our earth and wondering whyWe allow our wars to redden our landsSo quick with our weapons; so slow with Kind hands?“Why don’t they come down?” some people exclaimBut would you in their place enter a world gone insane?Come back in the future, you who search from above,Come back when all hearts are ruled only by Love-

Peg and I were just kind of lazingaround on the bank of the river. It wasa typical sunny, warm mid winter dayin Big Bend National Park. We haddriven from our camp ground and wewere visiting the nearby hot spring onthe U.S. side of the InternationalBoundary. We had somehow managed

to drive our motor home down the rut-ted dirt “road” as far as we could, andwalked the remaining short distance.As we approached the River, the firstthing that struck me was how narrow itwas at this point; little more than astream. I remarked to Peg that anyonethat could swim, even just dog paddlecould be across while holding theirbreath.

The second thing that attracted ourattention was the hot spring itsself. It isright up against the bank, and surround-ed by the remains of a cement structurethat most likely was washed away longago during one of the many powerful

storms that frequently dump incredibleamounts of water from run off and trib-utaries into the River up stream. Mostlikely there was a structure of sometype. There were several people enjoy-ing the warm, healing waters, andamong them was an English couplewho were touring the U.S. in a special-ly made motor home that was built likea fortress. They had brought the vehi-cle across from the UK for their trip andplanned on visiting some not so healthycity slums on their trip.

We left the spring area and headeddown a path along the bank of the Riverthat passed through a grove of cotton-wood and willow trees and as weentered a clearing we spotted a youngman sitting on a large stone. He wasobviously Mexican, and he approachedPeg and myself with a big smile, andaddressed us in Spanish. Back then ourknowledge of the language was stillpretty much intact: Especially Peg’s.After we chatted a few minutes, the guy

said: “Un momento senor” and hewalked over to near where he had beensitting, and returned carrying a reallyneat looking walking stick. It wasaround five feet long, extremelystraight and obviously hand carved. Ithad three bands of bright red painted onit separated by bare wood between twoof the red areas. At the larger end it hada gorgeous rose hand painted on it, andthe name “Boquillas” neatly stenciledin black. It was really rugged lookingand could most likely support consider-able weight.

Peg and I having visited Mexicocountless times, there was no questionin our minds what was going to happennext. He was going to try to sell me thestick probably starting at some outra-geous price. But we knew that barter-ing was all part of the game. I studiedthe staff a few minutes, and I thought“hey, this would make a nice souvenirof our stay down here”. Besides I coulduse it on any of the up coming hikes wewould hopefully be taking in the areaand other places back home. I alsoknew that what ever price I paid, thefunds would be greatly appreciated inan area where cash was scarce to thelocal residents.

I don’t recall what the exact figurewas that he finally accepted, but I thinkit was around $2.00 U.S. He thankedme and strode off down the path anddisappeared. “He’s probably going togo back across the River Peg, and bringsome more wares over to peddle. It’s

really nice that they are able to do thatand not get into a lot of trouble. Wealso came across another fellow whowas selling fish to passers by, but thisguy had a different approach.

He was standing on the bank of theMexican side of the River and holdingup the huge fish so people on our sidecould see his offering. As peoplepassed by he would call out his askingprice, and evidently if he got an offer hewould either wade or swim across toclose the deal. Talk about internationaltrade! These guys really knew how torun a business. Of course with theeconomy so bad in Mexico, the poor,especially the Indians have to make aliving any way they can, even if itmeans taking risks. However, no mat-ter how poor they are, they manage toseem happy with their lot. Many arehard workers.

Long after we returned home I gotcurious about the name on the stick,and did some on line research. I wasastounded to read a story about the areaand things that went on there that wenever got the chance to experience.Peg and I have wandered into many outof the way places in our travels, andwould never have known they existed ifwe hadn’t roamed off the beaten path. Iwish now that we had learned from fel-low campers about the little communi-ty of Boquillas – actually Boquillas delCarman. It was astounding.

It seems that the village, just acrossthe river from Big Bend Park, wasabout as small as they come in moderntimes. Only around 150 or so citizenslive there. Since the 1930’s there havebeen on going attempts to create an

International Peace Park in the area,and the plans call for the Park toencompass land on BOTH sides of theRiver, and allow free, travel back andforth across the River. Until 9/11 therewas unrestricted travel between thecountries as tourists were allowed tocross into Mexico to visit the tavernsand restaurants to sample the wonderfulcooking of our southerly neighbors.Mexican citizens were allowed to crossto our side to purchase items in stores. Since the attack, for over ten years thecrossing has been closed resulting inthe demise and nearly abandonment ofthe village of Boquillas. Happily, as of2011 there are plans to re-open thecrossing in 2012 using a ferry to allowvisitors with pass ports to transcend theboundary. Knowing how dependablethe poor residents on the Mexican sideof the River at Big Bend are on touristtrade, we certainly hope this endeavorbecomes a reality.

So, I took my newly acquired staffback home with me as a momento ofour trip. As it turned out, the stickmeans more to us as a symbol of thedetermination and talents of a peoplethat have been kept out of the mainstream of society for generations.Perhaps some day we might return toBig Bend and take a ferry ride over toBoquillas del Carmen and see the otherside of the river.

Apple Custard CakeGeorge Kapiris; Owner of Baker Boy

I had several apple cakes in my recipefile and decided to write one without nutsor dried fruit. This is a very dense andmoist cake and can be eaten just as is, butI have combined it with a heavy pastrycream filling and a buttercream that putsit over the top! APPLE CAKE INgREDIENTS:5 large whole eggs at room temp2 cups granulated sugar1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil3 cups all purpose flower1 tsp cinnamon1/3 tsp nutmeg1/6 tsp clove1/6 tsp allspice3/4 teaspoon salt1 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder2 tbsp + 2 tsp French brandy or calvados(apple Brandy)1 tsp vanilla extract4 1/3 cups diced granny smith applespeeled (Approximately 4 apples)10" cake pan

Heavy pastry creamCream cheese buttercream frostingAPPLE CAKE PROCEDURE:

If you are going to make the apple cus-tard cake as a 3 layer cake, I would rec-ommend making the components a day inadvance of assembling the cake. Thecooking time for a 10" cake is 1 1/2 hoursbecause of its density, as compared with40 minutes for a standard cake.

Peel and core apples and dice them into3/8-1/2" pieces; set them aside in a smallbowl. Mix all dry ingredients togetherand set them aside in another small bowl.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with thepaddle attachment, add the whole egg andgranulated sugar. Beat the sugar and eggstogether on medium speed until theybecome pale yellow in color and begin toform a "ribbon stage" (Appx 8 minutes).On the same medium speed, drizzlecanola or vegetable oil until it is absorbedwith egg foam (3 minutes). Scrape the oiloff of the sides of the bowl and mix well.Reduce machine speed to low. Add dryingredients and mix briefly until com-bined. Turn off machine and add dicedapples, brandy, vanilla extract. Mix untilapples are incorporated (1 minute).

Spray side and bottom of10" cake pan.Cut round piece of parchment paper andline the bottom of the Pan. Spray thepaper as well. Using a rubber spatula, turnthe apple cake batter into the pan. Spreadthe batter so that it's level. Preheat oven to375 degrees, then turn down to 325degrees and place cake pan on middlerack. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until insert-ed toothpick comes out clean (internaltemp Appx. 180 degrees). Remove cakeby inverting onto a plate lined with plas-tic wrap. Invert again onto platter or card-board cake round to cool over night inrefrigerator. The next day, level the topcake by trimming off any humps. Itshould be 2 1/2-3" in height.

The goal is to split this one cake intothree equal layers. You said WHAT!?Yeah... It's not that hard. There is an easi-er method; 3 cake pans of the same sizeprepared in the same manner, but whenyou cook the cake as a whole it maintainsmore moisture.

So how would I cut the apple cake into3 layers, you say? First you have somesort of pedestal to raise the cake off thetable, a 10" can or some device less than10" in diameter. Plate 2 toothpicks into

side of cake, marking off 3 equal layers(Appx. 3/4" each) lets call that position 12o'clock. In the same manner, mark off3,6,&9 o'clock. You can see that we aresetting up guides for our long thin slicesto flow. Now fill in the missing numbersusing two toothpicks for each position.Using a long thin slicing knife or serratedknife, using long gentle strokes, rest yourknife on 2 of the toothpicks. Slice 3 inch-es towards the cakes center. Cut all theway around the cake 3" towards center,then finish by going back to separate thecenter with long smooth light strokes. Letthe knife do the work for you! Removethe top layer and set aside on a paperplate. Now repeat the slicing technique tocreate a second and third layer. I like touse the bottom of the cake as the top layerbecause it is always smooth and even.

Place your first cut layer of apple cake(the flatter Side facing upward) onto acardboard round or level platter. Dustwith granulated sugar. Warm up 1 1/2cups of heavy pastry cream in themicrowave for 2-3 minutes or until looseenough to spread. Cover the store surfacearea of the apple cake with custard, leav-ing a 1/2" border bare all the way around.

Now top off the cake with the bottomlayer, the smoothest side facing upward.Use 4 bamboo skewers placed in northsouth east and west position to hold thecake in place while it cools. I leave themin whole I apply the first coat of creamcheese buttercream. My cream cheesefrosting has double the amount of unsalt-ed butter than the other recipes because Iwant to be able to pipe the frosting andhave it hold a clean edge without drying itout by adding more powdered sugar.Warm frosting in a microwave until it iseasily spreadable, cover entire cake withthis first coat (called a crumb coat) of thefrosting, filling in the gaps between cakelayers.

Chill cake thoroughly and removewooden skewers patching any wholesbefore applying second coat of frosting.Decorate perimeter of the cake both topand bottom with little rosettes of frosting.Lightly mark the cake into 10 portionsand place a large rosette of frosting oneach portion. I like to place a thin driedslice of apple into each rosette, to looklike a fin. Chill the apple cake thoroughlybefore portioning, finally cut and serve!

If you are looking for a fun familynight out, gather up the kids and take aride over to Millbury’s movie theaterto see Disney Pixar’s Brave. With areputation of being a Pixar film like noother, you and your family will be infor a number of surprises during thislighthearted film. Trailers are veryunrevealing with its content, perhapsfor the maximum amount of laughterand fun found within the film, allow-ing audiences to walk into theaters notknowing what to expect. And althoughthe film has darker setting than mostPixar films, and not to mention aprincess without a glamorous dress,Pixar’s highly-reputable name stilldidn’t let audiences down. Criticsraved over Brave, and with its uniquesetting and storyline, your family like-ly will, too.

Based in ancient Scotland, princessMerida practices her archery to perfec-tion. Falling out of the dainty stereo-type of a princess, chaos emergeswithin her family. Through her associ-ations with villains and magic, Meridasoon regrets many of the decisions shemakes as the film progresses. Themany unexpected twists and turns inMerida’s struggles allows the audience

to sympathize with her, yet laugh atthe lightheartedness of her character.Both Merida and the audience learn avaluable life lesson at the conclusionof the flick.

Earning a high rank in box office onopening weekend, Brave’s hard worktruly earned its success. Creating theirown storyline, while still intermin-gling traditional folklore within itscontent, Pixar succeeded at creating amore realistic portrayal of life. Unlikeother films, such as Toy Story andMonster’s Inc, Mireda’s consequencesare more severe, opposed to Disney’sTangled, where Rapunzel’s easy solu-tion is to fix her problems with herhair’s healing powers. In Brave,there’s really not much “happy-ever-after” that is achieved, although con-flicts do work themselves out. Thismay have been director MarkAndrews’ goal all along.

As Pixar’s thirteenth featured film,Brave’s art style is similar to all of itsclassic animations, yet the setting ofancient Scotland gives the audience anew feel to Pixar. It is not as colorfulas Toy Story, and the princess’s imageis portrayed as “Plain Jane”, wearingnaturally red hair, falling into a veryplain face, without any touch of make-up. Pixar exposed realistic lifestyleswithin its color choices and characterimage, thus giving the audience achance to relate the film to everydaylife better than other Pixar features.

There’s no doubt America lovedBrave. The fun film earned $66.7 mil-lion on its opening weekend, and stillbrought in $20 million by its thirdweekend. With these numbers, itsclear that Brave not only is a hit, rank-ing close to Spiderman in box office,but it will no doubt become a familyclassic with Pixar’s first heroine,Mireda. Families all across Americaare enjoying the journey of a youngPixar princess as they treat themselvesto popcorn and soda.

Before it moves its way out of the-aters, make sure to check out Brave.As its focus is shifted from otherstereotypical Disney films, the familywill be pleasantly surprised as theyexperience the journey of Brave Kidsof all ages will be rooting for Miredaas she discovers aspects of herself thatshe has never known before: bravery,risk-taking, and bringing back thingsonce lost. You may even find yourselfshedding a tear or two.

MoneT'S TABLe at frameSenseStory & Photos By Constance Dwyer

Along Quaker Highway is a frame shop, Frame Sense, thatcatches your eye, and will delight you when you stop in. Itis now the home of Uxbridge's newest gift shop, "Monet'sTable". For the customer seeking high quality attractive,and unusual gifts, including art work, wicker, pewter, teapots, loose leaf-teas, Stonewall Kitchen jellies, AprilCornell and custom linens, soy candles, vintage pieces andmuch more. You’ll want to make it one of your regular des-tinations. Sue Dion, owner, also makes it a point to offer thewares of local craftsman. Be sure to check out the greatselection of stylish, insulated lunch bags, a wonderful giftfor the working Mom or a child returning to school in thefall.

Before you enter her stunning shop, you’ll enjoy a shortstroll through her gardens and find Monet's Table just insidethe door. It’s a little bit of “Paris” in the Valley featuringgifts and decor with a French vintage flair. Her customframing area occupies the back of the main building whileher teaching studio is located up a short flight of stairs.Sue's shop also features a gallery of her paintings which areavailable for sale.

To keep up to date in her field, Sue attends classes on-linewith the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. When she is not com-pleting her own assignments or framing, she is typicallyteaching in her studio. An award winning watercolorist,

with an empowering teaching style, her classes are highlyregarded and well attended. Her beginner/intermediateclasses are project based which means that Sue demon-strates step-by-step the process of completing a painting.She also offers "open studio" classes where she works withstudents individually on artwork of their own choice; thiscould include instruction in drawing, watercolor, acrylic, oilor pastel. All of Sue's classes begin the first week of themonth and continue for four weeks. You can check out herwebsite, FrameSense.com, for more information about herclass schedule.

Her assistant, Joyce Neal of Uxbridge, also Sue’s water-color student, enjoys each workday with her boss. She isamazed at how Sue is able to manage teaching watercolorand run two successful businesses while pursuing a degree.She notes that Sue, as the owner, is the “go to person” foreach customer and is also the voice on the phone to discussyour framing needs. She is typically the one you interactwith when you come to finalize your order, whether it’sframing or any other purchase. The personable, energeticbusiness owner, adds that her frames are often less expen-sive than a popular store offering "discount" coupons.

Frame Sense’s hours are currently Wednesday - Saturdayfrom 10 am - 3 pm, however in the fall you will find some-one there Wednesday-Friday, 10 am-5 pm and Saturday-Sunday, Noon to 4 pm. Sue is always happy to schedule acustom framing appointment at your convenience. Shedoesn’t have far to go either, living next door to her shop.The shop and studio are located at 193 Quaker Highway,Uxbridge. For more information, call Sue at (508) 278-2768. See our display ad on page 13.

What is the purpose of a college edu-cation? Isn't it to learn what one needsto learn? In whatever field one needs ordesires?

In the pursuit of life why spend tens ofthousands of dollars AND years for thateducation when only 6 months may bemore than sufficient and cost only $150at the most? And that $150 has yourtextbooks delivered to your door so youcan learn at your own pace? At yourown time? When YOU want and arecomfortable with?

This article is about just that. To givethose interested in learning whatNEEDS to be learned - basically how toTHINK and DO in the pursuit of life - asa liberal arts type agenda. It does NOTcome with a diploma or any piece ofdocument that claims you went throughany specific "formal education type"program.

But it gives you the knowledge that isbetter than any parchment claiming youhave the supposed theory an institutionclaims so you can get some job. It doescome with promised understanding in

how to have true peace, happiness, har-mony and well-being when completedand tailored to YOU.

So, depending on your goals, $150 and6 months as you want for true basic all-purpose foundational knowledge youneed in life or a hundred thousand dol-lars spent AND years of your life forsome piece of paper that claims youhave some knowledge many companiestoday no longer recognize as meaning-ful. Which do you want?

Following are the textbooks of "princi-ples learning" in my suggested Self-HelpUniversity and the order to read them. Icould easily go into the whys of each butdue to space of this article won't. Somecan be read quickly and some may takelonger but please do read in this order.Everyone.

Suggest first, please re-read The NewUxbridge Times, June Edition, page 40about the importance of listening to oth-ers and the merits of the Self-HelpUniversity entitled How To Double YourIncome In 6 Months. Another futurearticle might be in how to use these text-books to gain the most from your ownSelf-Help life's education.

As a reminder, it is suggested to readfirst thing every day for at least an houra day. In this fashion, one may be able togo through these textbooks in 6 months.

These textbooks teach practical realityof how to live life abundantly. All areclassics and on the list for an educationyou won't find in any "formal" institu-tion, even after 4 or more years regard-less of the money you might throw at it.1. The Autobiography of BenjaminFranklin2. The Way to Wealth by BenjaminFranklin3. A Message To Garcia by ElbertHubbard 4. How To Win Friends & InfluencePeople by Dale Carnegie 5. How To Stop Worrying And StartLiving by Dale Carnegie 6. The Quick And Easy Way ToEffective Speaking by Dale Carnegie 7. The Autobiography of Herbert W.Armstrong - Volume 1 (get ONLY the1st edition Hardcover 1986 version. Allothers are corrupted horribly.) There is aVolume 2 and there is merit to have andread it, but Volume 2 is not nearly asimportant as Volume 1, from my per-

spective for this Self-Help education.There is another source available, butmost students should seek their ownhard copy first. 8. Man Of Steel And Velvet by AubreyAndelin9. Fascinating Womanhood by HelenAndelin 10. What Color Is Your Parachute? byRichard Nelson Bolles (2nd half before1st half)

These 10 textbooks of foundationalprinciples of life and a maximum of$150 and a short 6 months on your ownmay just give you a better all-aroundfoundational education for life than mostany PHD or Masters program you canfind.

Gary is a semi-retired internationalConsultant for Small Businesses,Households and Individuals with twokey specialties 1.) Complete turnaroundspecialist from Basket-Case to RollsRoyce Leader within 6 months AND 2.)a Resource tailor-made to the individualperhaps suggesting just a tweaking totransform "Goodness Already" into"Greatness" is all that is needed.

Focus Your Lifeby John Allegrini

Almost everyone nowadays is tryingto lose the fat. Gaining fat in today'sworld is not only inevitable, but oh sovery easy to do. Living in today's worldone need not think about gainingweight, it's assuredly going to happen.We are surrounded daily by thousandsof enticements none of them beinghealthy. They are designed either pur-posely or blindly to sell more of their

products resulting in wide spreadweight gain.

However, important as it is, (fat loss)the main focus is really lost, (in moundsof fat) and that is to focus on improvingyour overall health and not just to losethe fat. Their are many ways toenhance, bolster and improve youroverall health, and even to correct oreliminate some common malady's,some very serious and life threatening.Thus substantially improving yourhealth and longevity in many ways.

From day one, my focus has alwaysbeen to improve ones health over all.People I coach and counsel are madeaware early on of the extreme wide

range of health benefits attained by revamping their life styles.

To comment to someone, I'm going tothe gym to lose weight, in and of itselfis short sited. A more appropriate com-ment would be, as part of my life stylechange, I am going to the gym to exer-cise. Exercise is responsible for a hostof benefits to the body and mind, thelist being much too long to list here.

Focusing just on fat loss, increasesyour chance for failure. You eithermake it or break it. This narrows yourapproach considerably to your goal ofoptimum health. You will reap manymore benefits by changing (refocusing)your life style.

Refocus on an overall plan of health,which of course includes exercise butremember exercise is just one part ofyour program. Nutrition, rest, supple-ments, vitamins, minerals, mental, andsocial stimulation, physical function,self confidence, improved body stature,boosting your immunity function arejust a few of the overall benefitsattained by your plan of improvingyour over all health. When you arerebuilding an engine, you don't justfocus on replacing the timing belt.! Youdon't focus on one part to give you topperformance from that engine.

Neither should you just focus on fatloss. Develop a good sound achievable

plan, that you can live with, that is nota drudgery for you. A new over allenhanced life style. If you do, theweight will come off as a result of yournew plan. Not only set the plan for yourchildren to see, but they need to partakein it as well. They need to learn earlyfor they are exposed to much more junkand toxic chemicals then we were attheir age.

Broaden your horizons in health toget the very most out of your efforts,the pay back is immeasurable.

This month marks the 5 year anniver-sary of the Bernat Mill fire that affect-ed many small businesses includingthat of my dear friend Tia Hetu ownerof The Gymnastic Place who lost

everything in the blaze. It was not easy,but the gym has come a long way in thepast five years. They have reopened at237 River Road in Uxbridge and justthis month they have been able to

expand the gym by renting an addition-al space next to the existing gym. Tiahad always dreamed of having a com-petitive team representing TheGymnastic Place and after the fire shepushed toward making that dreamcome true.

The Junior/Senior Team are thrivingin the main part of the gym and the newspace which is geared toward theyounger children is a great place for lit-tle gymnasts to start out and grow withthe gym. The Gymnastic Place is proudto teach children ages two and up. “Asa coach, it is amazing to watch the chil-dren not only develop their skills in thegym, but to watch them grow as anindividual. Many of the students thatlost “their gym” in the fire are still stu-dents today and some have even movedinto the role of teaching at the newgym. We are a family and we will con-tinue to rebuild and grow together.”stated Cheryl Ciccone.
