CHARLTON — Looking to getrid of some of your “old, antique-ish, used, or new” items?
Why not consider donatingthem to a good (if slightly kinky)cause?
The Charlton Public Library islooking for a few good (strange)items, among them goggles (thinkSnoopy battling the Red Baron),top hats, older style women’s hats,buckles, glass jars, eyeglasses, oldkeys, nuts, bolts, and screws, etc.,old clocks and clock pieces, and“any interesting bits lying aroundthe house that are of a Victoriannature or could possibly be.”
So says the flyer/email solicit-ing donations to the library for anupcoming teen-craft programknown as a “steampunk” project.
According to online informa-tion, “steampunk” is a subgenreof speculative fiction, usually setin an anachronistic Victorian or
quasi-Victorian alternate historysetting. It includes fiction withscience fiction, fantasy, or horrorthemes, and might best bedescribed by the slogan “What thepast would look like if the futurehad happened sooner.”
If that’s not quite enough toconfuse you, consider that thereare various types of steampunkstories – mainly depending on thetime setting in which they are set,including, but not limited to,Medieval, Victorian, andWestern.
As might be imagined, certainfans of the genre tend to adopt itsfantasy/fictional lifestyle,“wherein the participantsembrace deliberate anachronismand quasi-anachronism as seen insteampunk fiction.” Practitionerstend to “modify their electronicgadgets” to make them look a cen-tury or so out of date.(Steampunks, however, are not tobe confused with Renaissance or
other bona fide period-authenticre-enactors, some of whom claimto eschew modern, or evenancient, technology entirely.)
Steampunks, when you getright down to it, “love fiddly gearsand shiny metal things” – a lotlike blue jays and other curiouscollector critters.
As a form of fantasy/specula-tive fiction, steampunk came intoprominence in the 1980s and early1990s. The steam part of the genrerefers to the fiction being set in“an era or world in which steampower is still widely used” – typi-cally the 19th century and often inVictorian-era England – but withprominent elements of either sci-ence fiction or fantasy.
Technological inventions likethose found in the works of H. G.Wells (for example, “The TimeMachine”) and Jules Verne arepopular in the genre, along withreal technological developmentslike the computer, which “occurat an earlier date” in steampunkstories.
Clothing of the past, which typ-ically looks as if it has been creat-ed generations ago,” also mergeswith modern conveniences insteampunk fiction. Thus, aGameboy would exhibit gearspowered by steam and might use,perhaps, a factory steam whistlefor an alarm. A steampunk bicy-cle, if it were invented, mightmore closely resemble a fire-breathing motorcycle than a peri-od bone-shaker. Hats and othergarments are often accessorizedwith gears, buttons, and other funmechanical adornments.
The date for the upcoming pro-gram/activity at the library hasyet to be determined, perhapsdependent on the collection ofenough donated items found suit-able for the occasion.
Among the things “lyingaround your house … of aVictorian nature” that are beingsought are: eyeglasses and gog-gles, top hats and bowler hats, oldclocks and clock pieces, costumejewelry, buttons (the older the bet-ter), buckles, and bits of medal(nuts, bolts, screws, hooks, wire),leather belts and bag, glass orplastic lenses, old lace, satin, orother fabric, older-style women’shats, pocketwatches, metalgears of anyshape, glassjars, old keys,and flexiblecopper or othermetal tubing.
Invoking “early partsof the IndustrialRevolution,” Victoriansteampunkery is based“mostly on aesthetics,”although functionality ishighly prized, as well.Almost every attic ordusty garage cabinet hassomething suitable for asteampunk craft project.Those looking to down-size without having to gothrough the set-up andclean-up rigors of anestate sale or yard/tagsale are invited to donateany or all of the aboveitems in their possessionto the Charlton PublicLibrary project.

CHARLTON — It’s the “first annual,”which means they expect to make a bigenough success of it this year to keep thingsrolling next year, and beyond.
Charlton REC Friends are the onesbehind the 1st Annual Auto Extravaganza, a“huge car show – and also a raffle drawingfor a car,” according to Bob Snow, one of theshow’s organizers.
“We need vehicles, including motorcycles,food and sales vendors, and people who justwant to hang out for the day looking at coolcars and listening to some great music,”said Snow in announcing the upcoming“extravaganza.”

DUDLEY/SOUTHBRIDGE — OnSaturday, Aug. 3, State Rep. Peter Durant, R-Spencer, and his wife Lisa, launched theircanoe into the Quinebaug River from a boatlaunch located off of Paper Mill Road inDudley.
They were leading a group of about 20,who spent the morning paddling the riverfrom Dudley into Southbridge, with guid-ance from The Last Green Valley organiza-tion and its rangers.
Prior to the paddle, Durant was joined bySen. Richard Moore to honor KenButkiewicz, a Dudley resident who playedan integral role in bringing resourcestogether to install the boat launch and pic-nic site in Dudley.
The event, in addition to a morning ofpaddling showcasing the recreationalopportunities of the Quinebaug River, high-lighted the National Recreational WaterTrail; part of the National HeritageCorridor that runs from the Brookfields toFabyan, Conn. The group hopes to raiseawareness and interest in establishing aboat launch in Southbridge, similar to thaton Paper Mill Road in Dudley. Providingriver access in Southbridge will allow theNational Water Trail to expand and includethe stretch from Southbridge to WestDudley.
“Lisa and I were thrilled to take thisopportunity to explore such a wonderfulresource right her in our own back yard thatis free to use and available to everyone,”Durant said. “I give Ken so much credit forhis hard work and dedication to help bringthis boat launch together and to help otherstake advantage of the Quinebaug riverwhile getting outside and doing something
active and fun.”“I was pleased to be able to join with
Representative Durant to honor a very dedi-cated volunteer, Ken Butkiewicz, for hisyears of advocacy for the development ofthe Quinebaug River Rail Trail,” saidMoore. “Ken has certainly been a positiveforce in moving this project along, in addi-tion to the Dudley and SouthbridgeHighway Department personnel. The eventwas also a great opportunity to promote andencourage greater public use of theQuinebaug River. Of course, I was also thereto dive in to save Rep. Durant if his canoecapsized, but fortunately that wasn’t neces-sary.”
Bill Reid, Chief Ranger with the LastGreen Valley, added: “The Last Green Valley
appreciates the work that Ken Butkiewiczhas done as a volunteer with our WaterTrails Committee. He is truly responsiblefor the new boat launch in West Dudley. Wealso appreciate thesupport we havereceived from bothR e p r e s e n t a t i v eDurant and SenatorMoore. Both aregreat advocates for
the National Heritage Corridor and theirinterest in the Quinebaug River is greatlyappreciated.”

A new era in learning at Heritage School
BY JOY RICHARDSTONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — “Knowing yourkids is as important as knowingthe contact.”
This quote from Heritage SchoolPrincipal Kathleen Pastore sumsup the theory behind the schooland district’s newest learningendeavor — ResponsiveClassroom.
Funded through a $5,000 Dudley-Charlton Education Foundation(DCEF) grant, Pastore said the pro-gram would be intergradedthroughout the district with thehelp of the four teachers from eachelementary school who attendedthe initial training session thissummer. She said she hopes thiswill be the foundation for the pro-gram’s flourishing future.
“This is a non-profit organiza-tion, which was started in thewestern part of the state,” saidPastore during a sit-down inter-view on Monday, Aug. 5. “It’s tyingin social leaning, and that is the
part that as a principal, I reallyliked. With the anti-bully legisla-tion passed a few years ago, thisbuilds a social culture, which wehope has a profound effect on thechildren.”
She said this idea goes hand-in-hand with many of the other ini-tiatives the district has, includingthe “bucket filling” concept thatthe elementary schools haveimplemented during the last fewyears.
Pastore said bucket filling is away of teaching children how to bekind to one another. Each child hasan imaginary bucket and they fillwith good deeds during the schoolyear. She said that type of idea,combined with academic goal set-ting, is a part of the base of theResponsive Classroom.
“The grant that we received thisyear for $5,000 is one of the largestgrants they give,” said Pastore. “Itis always a surprise. We were hop-ing for it. This was something wehad been thinking about for a longtime.”
One of the four teachers whowill be helping to bring the pro-gram into Heritage is Charltonresident and second grade teacherAlicia Detarando.
Detarando recently took a quickbreak from setting up her class-room to speak about the program,something she said she is proud totake part in.
Detarando said the goal ofResponsive Classroom is to createa “postive community and engag-ing the academic” environment.She said this not only includes herstudents but their parents as well.
She said they way her classroomwill approach the program is bysetting up a hopes and dreamsboard, or a set of goals for studentsto accomplish by mid-term.Detarando said this will includesthe hopes and dreams of parents.
“This part of establishing a com-munity,” said Detarando. “I willask [the students] why they arehere and what is their purpose?Then as a group how are we goingreach those hopes and dreams?”
She went on to say that while sheis excited for the program theyhardest part will be time manage-ment. Detarando said while thismay take up a piece of time duringthe school day she believes the
overall outcome will be worthevery moment they spend on it.

Durant announces opposition togas, tech taxes
BOSTON — On Thursday, Aug. 8, Rep.Peter Durant (R-Spencer) announced hisfull support for recently announced ballotinitiatives to repeal the inflation anchoringof the gas tax and the ambiguous computerservices tech tax.
These were among other taxes passed by
the Massachusetts legislature this spring byvotes of 97-55 in the House on April 8 and 29-9 in the Senate on June 19.
“I’m concerned with a number of thingssurrounding these taxes,” Durant said.“First, I have yet to meet a legislator whofully understands the Computer Servicestax which we all had to vote on. I wonderhow my colleagues can in good consciencesupport taxes that they have very little to nounderstanding of. On top of that, the tax willcripple one of our leading and fastest grow-ing industries. I’m alarmed by the numberof calls and e-mails I’ve received from busi-nesses who cannot handle this additionalburden. Secondly, I feel that we must alwaysstrive for transparency and accountabilityto the constituents who elect us every twoyears. Voting once to increase taxes everysingle year is unfair and disingenuous. Ifwe as a government have to gall to ask for
more from you, weshould have thecourage to stand upand do that every sin-gle year, not by hid-ing behind legisla-tion that establishes‘taxation withoutrepresentation’ likethis.”
Durant is the latestto join a large anddiverse coalition ofelected officials andtax advocates whosupport the two taxrepeal initiative peti-tions. Those peti-tions were filed withAttorney GeneralMartha Coakley onWednesday and willrequire her judg-ment on their balloteligibility. Certifiedmeasures will thenbe filed with the stateand will need nearly70,000 certified votersignatures by lateNovember to moveforward. Those meas-ures will then be filedwith the Legislaturein January 2014 with11,485 additional sig-natures needed byearly July 2014 tosecure a ballot spot.

AG to vet 33 citizen petitions for 2014 or 2016 “Casino gambling expands
beyond any initial beachhead theygain,” Ribiero said. “It’s a drain onthe economy of the entire state,and many states end up bailing outtheir casinos.”
His town, Winthrop, is next toRevere, one of the leading sites tohost one of the three casinos thelaw allows. Although friends hadurged him to focus on fighting thatproposal, Ribiero said he feltaneed to make it statewide in partbecause neighboring communities“have absolutely no say.” Hosttowns get ballot votes, but not theirneighbors.
“Look at this at a holistic leveland ask, Is this the right directionfor the state to go?” he added. “It’sa no-brainer. The answer is no.”
Nick Bokron of Nahant and histeam had a similar view fuelingtheir ballot question, a stateConstitutional amendment thatspecifically declares corporationsare not people and money is notspeech.
“We’re hoping to undermine theinfluence of corporations andmoney on the electoral process,”he said. “We tried it a few yearsago with the Clean Elections Act [a1998 ballot petition], but theLegislature didn’t fund it, then gotrid of it on a voice vote. … Youcan’t reform our political process
as long as money is consideredspeech.”
Bokron said the Constitutionalready states that corporationsonly have the rights theLegislature gives them andrequires them to “do somethingfor the common good.” But theSupreme Court’s Citizens Uniteddecision “got everybody upset,”when it threw out corporatemoney restrictions.
This ballot question specifiesthat the Legislature has theauthority to “regulate the raisingand spending of money and in-kind equivalents for any primaryor election of a public official andfor ballot
measures,” including advertis-ing, and “The rights afforded tothe human inhabitants of theCommonwealth, under thisConstitution, are not applicable tocorporations, limited liabilitycompanies or any other corporateentity.”
“There’s going to be a court caseone way or another,” Bokron pre-dicted. “Either the AttorneyGeneral will say no, or the corpo-rations will try to stop us.”
Several of the other proposedquestions are health related.There are four versions of the“Patient Safety Act” and eight ver-sions of the “Act to LimitExcessive Hospital OperatingMargins,” all filed by the Mass.Nurses Association. (Groups often
file multiple versions in case theAG determines certain wording isnot legal.) There’s also an amend-ment “Relative to the Provision ofHealth Insurance,” which requiresthe state to ensure no legal resi-dent “lacks comprehensive, afford-able and equitably financed healthinsurance coverage for all med-ically necessary preventive, acuteand chronic health care and men-tal health care services, prescrip-tion drugs and devices;” a lawrequiring employers to give work-ers 40 hours paid sick leave peryear; one hiking the minimumwage and indexing it to theConsumer Price Index; and onemandating labels on GMO foods.
MNA Spokesman DavidSchildmeier said the PatientSafety Act is “an attempt to protectpatients by setting standards inhospitals by setting limits on thenumber of patients each nurse hasin various wards.
“Nurses often have 6, 7, 8, 9patients, but the research is clear:No nurse should ever have morethan four,” he said, adding thathigher numbers increase the risksfor a variety of complications,falls, medical errors and the like.
The “hospital margins” ques-tion was sparked, he said, by thefact 54 of 64 acute care hospitals inMassachusetts get at least half oftheir revenue from public funds“but there’s a wide distribution ofprofits among them,” with some
providing minimal services andeven “siphoning off services”from smaller hospitals. The goal isto “make hospitals report all theirfinances,” including where theyspend or invest and set a require-ment that profits above a certainpercentage go toward a state fundthat can help provide services forpoorer communities, he said.
Also on the list are proposalsseeking to update the bottle bill toinclude water and various othernon-carbonated drinks, to ban useof “any kind of fishing gear forcommercial purposes that isknown to historically cause theentanglement of whales or sea tur-tles,” and to extend daylight sav-ings time year-round. One personis filing three questions: to prohib-it sending the National Guardoverseas, to require all child cus-tody cases default to shared cus-tody, and to “provide for all due-process rights” including jury tri-als for all civil abuse-preventioncases. And, of course, there aretax-related concepts – the repealsmentioned earlier, plus a sales taxreduction to 5 percent and a “newhire” tax credit.
The formal filing deadline wasWednesday, but the AG’s pressrelease notes that only starts theprocess. The AG’s office has untilSept. 4 to certify each question’slegality; those that survive thenhave to get 68,911 signatures byDec. 4. If they do, the Legislature
gets first crack at passing said lawor something similar; if it does notbefore May 2014, the proponentscan get another 11,485 signaturesto put it on the ballot thatNovember.
“The process for proposed con-stitutional amendments is differ-ent, requiring approval by at least25 percent of the Legislature in2014 and then again in 2015-2016before appearing on the November2016 ballot,” the press release stat-ed. Four of the 33 questions fallinto this group.
“A petition cannot be approved ifit relates to religion, religiouspractices or religious institutions;the powers, creation or abolition ofthe courts; the appointment, com-pensation or tenure of judges; aspecific appropriation of fundsfrom the state treasury; or if itinfringes on other protected con-stitutional rights, such as trial byjury, freedom of the press and free-dom of speech,” the statementadds.
The full text of all 33 proposalscan be found athttp://www.mass.gov/ago/gov-ernment-resources/initiatives-and-other-ballot-questions/cur-rent-petitions-filed.html.

I’ve discussed cross-collectibles in pre-vious columns —these are items that
appeal to two or moregroups of collectors.
For instance, an oldcircus poster will be ofinterest to poster collec-tors, those interested incircus memorabilia,collectors of local histo-ry if it mentions thetown or city where it was taking place or may appeal topeople who just like the graphics and want to displayit.
Most people enjoy learning more about the historyof their towns. Many collectors like to acquire piecesrelated to their area. With settlements taking place inCentral Massachusetts beginning in the 1600’s, thereare a wide variety of antiques for people to collect.Some of our more recent history is very popular andthere is a wide variety of memorabilia prior to WorldWar II that is coveted by collectors.
We will be holding a combined auction and on-sitetag sale of an old filling station in Auburn. The tag saleis on Aug. 17, and auction takes place on Sept. 26.
Photos when the station was in business show thegas station and pumps with glass globes on top. Thereis a large sign advertising Tydol. Tidewater Oil pro-duced Tydol gasoline and Veedol oil. The website roy-alpetroleum.com states that Tidewater began to pro-duce gasoline on the East Coast in the 1915’s or 1920’s.J. Paul Getty later acquired Tidewater. In 1932 theyintroduced the “Flying A” brand for their premiumgasoline.
As you fill up at a self-serve gas station paying near-ly $4 a gallon for gas, you can think back to a time inthe 1920’s or 30’s when the filling station in Auburnwas checking your oil, washing your windows and youwere getting your tank filled for a dollar and gettingsome change.
A family member informed me that a diner alsooperated at the location. Old photographs show someof the advertising signs on the side of the building.There is a gentleman walking past large Coca-Cola andOld Gold cigarette signs.
The tag sale on Aug. 17 will include some gas stationmemorabilia along with many antiques and otheritems that will be sold at the home that day. There willalso be an opportunity to view the highlight of the auc-tion, which is the gas station structure. It can beviewed that day and bidding will take place at ourSept. 26 auction.
The building was built by “William Buchanan AngleFrame Fireproof Steel Portable Buildings’ ofBrooklyn, N.Y. An article in the Oct. 1, 1920 Sheet
Metal Worker periodical states that around 1900Buchanan received an order for a portable sheet metalbuilding for export and began producing garages andone story buildings. The owner informed me that shehas received many inquiries from passersby looking tobuy the small structure.
We will also be auctioning some of the gas stationand diner signs. There is an enamel Texaco sign, vin-tage license plates, wooden “no parking” sign, OldGold cigarettes sign and Moxie soda sign. It will beworth filling your tank to stop by the tag sale and auc-tion and to view these great pieces of local history!
NOTE: In my previous column, there was a typo inthe number of Civil War casualties. It should havebeen 620,000 instead of 62,000. Thanks to Steve M. forspotting this.

BACK YARD BEARCourtesy photo
CHARLTON — On Monday, Aug. 5, Charlton resident Sandra Thorpe awoke to this bear in her back yard.According to Thorpe, the bear came from a neighbor’s house and headed straight from their yard to theThorpes’ bird feeder, bending the feeder pole and making off with a large cylinder feeder.“My husband had only just put the feeders out for the day,” Thorpe said via e-mail on Monday. “We nor-mally take them in at night to avoid bear encounters.”
The GoodSamaritan
The other day, on my way to work,in the pouring rain (naturally), Icame across a car that had drivenoff the side of the road and into a
small ditch.I drove right by without a second thought,
humming the tune that was going throughmy head and listening to sports talk radio.
As soon as I drove by,though, I immediatelybegan thinking about theworst possible scenariosfor the people inside of thatcar. What if people arehurt? No one had stoppedand checked on them, asfar as I knew. There wereno other cars around themat the moment, so who’s tosay I wasn’t a “first respon-der”? Did they have a cellphone? Did they need help?Are the police on the way?
So, being careful not toslide on the wet road, Idecided to help. I hit the
brakes, found a driveway to turn around in,and after a quick call to the local police let-ting them know about the accident, I headedback to the scene.
As I came upon the car, shifted into parkand hit my hazard lights, I slowly exited thecar, getting drenched by the pouring rain thatseemed to turn itself up a notch the second Iopened my door. The biggest part of me want-ed to see if everything was OK. But surpris-ingly, and perhaps sadly, there was a tiny sliceof me that was the voice of doubt, wonderingif I should even be doing it at all. Was I put-ting myself in harm’s way?
Let me explain. As a member of the media,I see horror stories every day on the news net-works about violence, abductions, random,unexpected crimes and people paying horri-bly for seemingly good deeds. Was I about tobecome the next statistic?
Pushing those negative thoughts out of mymind, I crept toward the car, looking for anyactivity, suspicious or otherwise, and Ireminded myself that despite the risk, I wasdoing the right thing. After all, I was justchecking, and the police were on their wayanyway — but it got me thinking later on thatday in the office about how the world is today,and how sad it is that even when someonetries to do something good, there’s a risk ofdanger involved.
Think of the man on the side of the roadthat has nowhere else to go, hitchhikingbecause he has no other choice; the homelessman on the side of the street begging formoney — these people could legitimatelyneed help, but isn’t there a small part of us allthat doubts them? It sounds cold, and even alittle mean, but I’ve heard stories of peoplegetting abducted by people who have claimedto be “hitchhikers,” and how many timeshave we heard of the beggars on the side ofthe road using their donations to fuel theiraddictions? Isn’t there a risk that we areinserting ourselves into potentially harmfulsituations, when all we have to do is look theother way?
It seems good deeds these days are morepunished than rewarded.
But what’s the solution? Do we just stophelping others? No, I don’t believe that at all.Sure, there are going to be people out therethat take advantage of others’ kindness.That’s the world we live in. It is a sad, unfor-tunate truth. But we can’t let ourselves get sojaded that we forget to help others out of fearof being taken advantage of or out of fear ofbeing hurt. One of those times, someone mayneed your help more than you know, and yourhelp could change a life for the better. Whoknows — you may even save a life.
The bottom line is, if I am ever in situationwhere I need someone’s help, how would I feelif people just drove by and didn’t even giveme a second thought?
Somehow, it was raining even harder, andas I approached the driver’s side door of thecrashed car, it opened and a woman peeredout.
“Are you OK? Do you need help?” I asked.“Do you need me to call anyone?”
“We’re fine, thanks,” said the woman, whoapparently was on the phone with the cops. Ayoung man sat in the passenger’s side seat,and he seemed to be just fine. They werearguing, which was their business, but aslong as they were OK physically, they couldargue all they want.
At the end of the day, I’m glad I stopped tohelp, even though I didn’t really do anythingbut check on them. There have been manytimes where I have been the one who drivesright by. I wonder if I have missed opportuni-ties to help someone in their time of need?
So, what the moral of the story? I supposein the end, it’s always better to be the GoodSamaritan — you never know when you’llneed someone to show you the same courtesy.

THE MINOR
DETAILS
Time was when the phrase “cat-like” was a definite compliment,signifying sleekness, speed,stealth, and a sense of confidence
bordering on arrogance.After all, the cats in our lives are not ours;
we belong to them – if they let us. There’salso the T-shirt thatexplains things even moresuccinctly: “AncientEgyptians worshipped catsas god. Cats have never for-gotten!”
Nevertheless, thethought came to us recent-ly, in the middle of thenight, that even “cat-like”has its date of expiration.Barry “Chuck” Ashton, forexample, is some 14-plusyears old, the equivalent of100-plus in human years.Not that a cat is obliged orlikely to think of anythingin terms of human years.For all we know, they look
at us as say, “Yikes – he’s 9-plus in cat years.Better keep an eye out for impending demen-tia and incontinence!”
The “Chuck” part of Barry’s name, by theway, comes by way of the wife’s insistence onlabeling the furry head of our householdwith a “pet name” that has nothing whatso-ever to do with his title, temperament, or tal-ents. We can’t recall exactly when she beganthrusting the moniker on him, but wewarned her – even way back then – that therewould be repercussions.
Thus, when we’re reading on the couch, orin bed watching TV, he’s likely to want tospring onto that piece of furniture to rub upagainst us (leaving plenty of black or grayhairs on clothing or bedclothes of the oppos-ing color), rubbing his face against book jack-ets and corners, and inevitably sneezing –flinging cat snots against us, the books, bed-clothes, and accompanying accessories.
When she commands him, “Don’t jump up,Chuck,” we invariably warn her againstusing the phrase “up, Chuck,” as it inevitablyleads to his performance of that very act,depositing a residue of hairball and recentlyingested cat food wherever he happens to be –typically on the carpet, couch, or other con-venient depository for poorly digested felinefoodstuffs.
Therein lies another oddity attached to theaforementioned Barry. Unlike any other catwho’s ever let us live within his/her domain,this one has never shown any interest at allin “human food.” That is, he can be offeredthe best piece of leftover chicken, beef,morsel of fish, or cereal found in our house-hold and turn up his nose at it with utter dis-dain and/or indifference.
Thus, we are required to purchase twice asmuch gravy-laden cat food as the “normal”cat would require, all for his abhorrence ofleftovers that other felines would be morethan happy to ingest. No, this finicky feedereats but three (no, make that four) things:bona fide out-of-the packet cat food (fish-fla-vored seems to be a favorite); greenery fromany houseplant he can reach in a jump (thusour houseplants are on the highest pieces offurniture we can afford); dirt – as in anythingtracked into the house from, say, a lawn mow-ing adventure; and curly ribbons attached toany sort of birthday or holiday gift.
We have reached this conclusion by virtueof inspecting (not willfully, but by way of theincumbent clean-up that his “up-Chucking”necessitates) the regurgitated contents of hisfinicky feline stomach.
A few months ago, we noticed the agingking of our domain limping, favoring onehind leg and restricted to very short leaps,with even the couch representing a problem.Was he suffering from rheumatoid arthritis,having seen too many Phil Mickelson med-ication commercials while TV watching withus? Or, just perhaps, was he suffering from animagined – or disremembered – hairballhacking incident in which he was booted offthe bed or couch in disrespectful fashion,landing harshly, a la recent aircraft landingin which the nose-gear took a nosedive due topilot error?
His limping has since disappeared and hisleaping has regained its former elegance andheight, thus putting the lie to our assumptionand presumption of his imminent andinevitable decrepitude.
His bouncing back, however, has left usfeeling nothing so much as envious, giventhat our own decrepitude has shown no suchresponse to time, medications, and/or betterdietary habits. Perhaps “Chucky” – beingdescended from Egyptian gods – holds thesecrets of longevity and holistic healing.Perhaps we need to start dining on gravy-slathered fish parts that look exactly likegravy-slathered beef or chicken or turkeyparts.
And perhaps we need to develop a taste forhouseplant greenery, or morsels of tracked-in mud on the linoleum, and – we certainlyhope not – curly ribbons and bows from holi-day and birthday gifts.
The alternative, of course, is to adopt asnooty attitude of indifference to just abouteveryone and everything and to go aroundthe house acting like we own the place. Thatmight given cat-like character. If only Barry(Chuck) would fall for it!

What do new investors really need to know?
If you’re starting outas an investor, youmight be feeling over-whelmed.
After all, it seems likethere’s just so much toknow. How can you getenough of a handle on basicinvestment concepts so thatyou’re comfortable in mak-ing well-informed choices?
Actually, you can get a good grip on theinvestment process by becoming familiarwith a few basic concepts, such as these:
Stocks versus Bonds — When you buystocks, or stock-based investments, you arebuying ownership shares in companies.Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to buyshares of quality companies and to holdthese shares for the long term. This strategymay help you eventually overcome short-term price declines, which may affect allstocks. Keep in mind, though, that whenbuying stocks, there are no guarantees youwon’t lose some or all of your investment.
By contrast, when you purchase bonds,you aren’t becoming an “owner” — rather,you are lending money to a company or agovernmental unit. Barring default, youcan expect to receive regular interest pay-ments for as long as you own your bond, andwhen it matures, you can expect to get yourprincipal back. However, bond prices do riseand fall, typically moving in the oppositedirection of interest rates. So if you wantedto sell a bond before it matures, and interestrates have recently risen, you may have tooffer your bond at a price lower than its facevalue.
For the most part, stocks are purchasedfor their growth potential (although manystocks do offer income, in the form of divi-dends), while bonds are bought for theincome stream provided by interest pay-ments. Ideally, though, it is important tobuild a diversified portfolio containingstocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs),government securities and other invest-ments designed to meet your goals and risk
tolerances. Diversificationis a strategy designed tohelp reduce the effects ofmarket volatility on yourportfolio; keep in mind,however, that diversifica-tion, by itself, can’t guaran-tee a profit or protectagainst loss.
Risk versus Reward —All investments carry
some type of risk: Stocks and bonds candecline in value, while investments such asCDs can lose purchasing power over time.One important thing to keep in mind is that,generally, the greater the potential reward,the higher the risk.
Setting goals — As an investor, you needto set goals for your investment portfolio,such as providing resources for retirementor helping pay for your children’s collegeeducations.
Knowing your own investment personali-ty — Everyone has different investment per-sonalities — some people can accept morerisk in the hopes of greater rewards, whileothers are not comfortable with risk at all.It’s essential that you know your investmentpersonality when you begin investing, andthroughout your years as an investor.
Investing is a long-term process —It gen-erally takes decades of patience, persever-ance and good decisions for investors toaccumulate the substantial financialresources they’ll need for their long-temgoals.
By keeping these concepts in mind asyour begin your journey through the invest-ment world, you’ll be better prepared for thetwists and turns you’ll encounter along theway as you pursue your financial goals.

Dembkowski said his kids took first placein a statewide robotics compilation this pastMay. He said they were thrilled to beat NorthMiddlesex Regional High School, who wereranked number one in the world for theirrobotics skills.
Dembkowski said he credits severalthings to the win, including had work, a pas-
sion for the subject from his students, and alittle bit of luck.
“Some of it is luck and catching people onthe right day, but the kids practiced a lot,”said Dembkowski. “They wanted to dowell.”
He made reference to all of the eveningsthe group spent tinkering with their robotsubmission, adding to and making betterwhat they started with in September of 2012.
“A lot of innovation goes [into the robot]as we go through the year,” saidDembkowski. “[The grant] is pretty sweet.The kids don’t know it yet, but when theycome in, in August, they will be psyched.”
Toshiba Human Resources DirectorMaureen Rapsomanikis joinedDembkowski in Dudley to personally pres-ent him with the funding. She said thesekinds of moments are the perks of the job.
“This particular grant we found out abouta month ago,” said Rapsomanikis.“[Toshiba] is the sev-enth largest compa-ny in the world. Wehave eight existingentities in the U.S.,and obviously Iwould think theywould want to seethe next generationdevelop products inthis country that theworld can use.”

“We’re extremely disappointed,”said Bruce Gobi afterward. “Wewanted some border in its naturalstate, since they’re stripping 35acres of forest. The town has allthese sign bylaws that addressunsightliness, but there’s nothingfor this. It’s kind of like putting ina dump or a strip mine. It’s not thesame kind of hazard” but he pre-dicted their property values wouldfall and “the whole town loses.”
Gobi said he wanted a 50-footbuffer. After he left, ChairmanJohn McGrath said that’s prettyclose to what they’ll actually get,since the plans require space forbrush to grow, then a row ofarborvitae, then the fence and
another area of brush before get-ting to the field the solar panelswill be in.
The solar field is being devel-oped by GeoPeak Solar, a NewJersey-based firm with an office inWestboro, on land owned by for-mer selectman Peter Boria.Project engineer Michael Scott ofWaterman Design said his plancalls for “extensive regrading … tomake the slope appropriate to themounting system for the solar pan-els.” As part of it, he plans toinstall three long foot-high bermsat different elevations on the hill-side facing Carpenter Hill Road tocatch water running downhill. Hesaid his calculations show it willreduce runoff from smallerstorms (two-and 10-year storms)and is “just about a wash for tor-
rential rain or heavy, heavy springrunoff” (approximately a 100-yearstorm).
“The models show about oneinch of water going over the[third] berm in a 100-year storm,”Sarah Whiting of VHB, the town’sengineer, said. She added that shewants the design to ensure any col-lected water soaks back into theground within 72 hours for bothdrainage and mosquito controlreasons, and she requested theowners make sure their system isworking at least annually.
Town Planner Alan Gordonnoted the project still needs per-mits from the state DEP and feder-al EPA “because it disturbs anarea of more than one acre.”
In response to a Gobi question,Scott said this project’s size is fair-
ly common, but the runoff controlmethod isn’t. Normally, developersjust create a detention basin (asmall manmade pond) at the baseof the hillside and pipe the waterthere, but Scott said he feels thisdesign will work better, in partbecause it “spreads out the areawhere [the water] can recharge” tothe soil.
Gordon proposed, and the boardaccepted, a lengthy list of condi-tions. Most of them were onesapplied to all projects, but a fewwere specific to this one. Amongthe latter were Whiting’s sugges-tions, plus a one-year performanceguarantee to ensure the landscap-ing takes, a watering plan for thetrees, and another bond “fordeconstruction … in case of aban-donment or cease of operation.”
Gordon cited a recently approvedSpencer solar farm as an example,saying that Planning Board calcu-lated its 27-acre project wouldrequire $134,564 plus a percentageincrease every year.
Gobi wasn’t happy when thehearing closed.
“We’re not opposed to the plan,but I feel we’re paying dearly forit,” he said.
Neighbor Ray Kelly agreed.“We can’t stop it from going for-
ward, but we’re concerned aboutwhat we’ll see,” he said. “We wereall hoping to have more of a wall oftrees.”

Gas tax expected to rise with future inflation
jumped from $2.15 to $3.15, and there was athird sales tax increase of $6.25 on technolo-gy services.
These new taxes are a piece of the trans-portation finance bill proposed by Gov.Deval Patrick, which would, in part, supportroadwork and public transportationthroughout the state.
Speaking with Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge, he said that while no one in theLegislature “enjoys” increasing taxes, heknows that area road projects and publictranspiration need funding to continue andimprove.
“I know that we have a problem financingour transportation system. It has been morethan 20 years since the gas tax has changed.In that 20-year time, road construction hasincreased by 55 percent,” said Moore, citingstatistics from the Construction IndustryAssociation. “The need seemed to be therecertainly, and the proposal was one I felt wasfair as far as providing revenue.”
Moore said he felt another benefit to theincrease would be the jump in Chapter 90,which he said the state hoped to increase by50 percent.
Moore said this money is earmarked forroad and bridge projects within cities andtowns around the Commonwealth.
“In Northbridge, for instance, some ofthat money would go into the Sutton Street[project] and into improvements on BostonRoad on Route 146.”
He added that money would also gotoward local public transpiration organiza-tions like the Worcester Regional TransitAuthority, which are affiliated with theelder bus services in towns like Webster.
Turning eye to Webster, Rep. RyanFattman, R-Webster, has less postive thingsto say on the tax jumps.
He said he has heard a lot of feedbackfrom area businesses owners and residents,most of which represented their frustra-tions.
“We’re actually getting a ton of e-mailsabout it,” said Fattman during a phoneinterview last week. “[The tech tax] is asales tax on services and it’s the first of itskind.”
He said the most frustrating part, in hisopinion, is what he described as a vague def-inition of the technology tax.
“Business owners are now sitting therethinking, ‘What the heck am I supposed todo?’” said Fattman. “I find it so interesting
that both Republican, Democrats andIndependents who are running businessesknow this isn’t good. They know it hurtsbusinesses and hurts hiring practices.”
He said the Department of Revenue(DOR) is now in the process of writing regu-lations, which he said could take “severalweeks.”
Fattman described the gas tax increase as“taxation tied to inflation,” something,which he said he finds frustrating at best.
Rep. Peter Durant, R-Spencer, agreed withFattman, adding that the upcoming tax-freeholiday “makes you scratch your head”with confusion.
“It’s interesting,” said Durant. “I have got-ten e-mails from those in the tech industryand there is a general confusion about thetax. I have read the DOR’s guidelines andthat help somewhat, but I feel it still leaves alot of questions.”
He said he thinks the businesses that willbe affected by the tax are “smaller compa-nies” who will have a difficult time absorb-ing the higher tax rate.
Stonebridge Press also spoke with resi-dents about the tax jump reaching out tothem through the forum of Facebook. Mostechoed the anger that Fattman and Durantshared, some suggesting the wasteful spend-
ing is the culprit of the state’s money issues.Oxford resident and School Committee
member Brenda Ennis said the issue spansboth aisles, and that “wasteful spending” isto blame.
“This is not a Democratic or Republicanissue,” said Ennis on Facebook. “It is a pub-lic outcry from those who vote, pay thetaxes, support the Commonwealth and elect-ed official salaries.”
Webster resident Steven Raymond said hefelt the fix was instead of upping taxes “theyshould look at cutting salaries.”
“Companies do it all the time,” saidRaymond in a post last week. “Lets look atlowering the legislators’ salaries to $50,000to $80,000 and see if they can live on that. Icertainly could.”

Redcoats and rebels battle at Old Sturbridge Villagecould be seen through the haze ofmusket and cannon smoke.
Soldiers from some 49 units tookpart in what is annually thelargest Revolutionary War re-enactment in New England. TheVillage Common, farm fields, andgrassy areas throughout the muse-um were covered in period tentsand lean-tos, lending an air ofauthenticity to both the militarybilleting and the “battles” thattook place at pre-arranged times.In accord with historical accounts,many campsites included spousesand family members – also in peri-od costumes, who accompaniedtheir warriors to the battle-grounds.
An estimated 7,000 Village visi-tors enjoyed the two-day event,witnessing firsthand cannon andmusket demonstrations, marchingand drilling, fife and drum music,and daily activities of the troops(and families) in camp. OnSaturday, visitors enjoyed extend-ed hours – until 8 p.m. – to mingleand talk with soldiers around
their campfires for a TwilightEncampment.
Saturday evening also includeda special performance of “LoveLetters: An Evening with John &Abigal Adams,” with actors TomMacy and Pat Bridgeman.
But there was no love lost formost of the weekend, as the red-coated professional British sol-diers strutted their stuff with stiffupper lips and the farmer-patriotrebels used the countryside andtheir “Spirit of ’76” to muster upcourage and determination.
For the special weekend, theBritish units and allies pitchedtheir tents on the Common, whilethe Colonial troops and allies werebilleted throughout the rest of theVillage, eager to share with visi-tors – and one another – the histo-ries and mysteries of 18th-centurywarfare. In addition, differentunits offered demonstrations ofsoap making, cooking, baking,candle- and broom-making, alongwith musket ball- and button-mak-ing, and bowl-making fromgourds.
Throughout the weekend, sol-diers and their tag-alongs provid-
ed period fashion shows, 18th-cen-tury dancing and “base-ball” play-ing. Field surgeons explained theuse of their knives, saws, retrac-tors, tourniquets, and “anesthe-sia” (either a piece of leather tobite down on – for enlisted men) orsome pre-paid-for laudanum (forthe officers). They also explainedwhy the enlisted men had a betterchance at survival (it has to dowith “no germ theory,” the prac-tice of cauterizing wounds, andother period medical practices).
Re-enactor units at this year’sRedcoats & Rebels event camefrom Massachusetts, Connecticut,Maine, New Hampshire, NewYork, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,and Vermont. Among local (Tri-Community area) participantswere Neal Bourbeau ofSturbridge, Cliff Nichols ofPutnam, Conn. (both part ofPeter’s Corps), and Arthur Martinof Southbridge, a member of the10th Massachusetts Regiment.
With no street lights, trafficnoise, or other modern distrac-tions, Old Sturbridge Village isconsidered by many of the re-enac-tors as the perfect setting for such
a large re-enactment. Many of thecombatants admit to taking theBritish side because of the morecolorfully impressive uniformsand accoutrements.

REENACTMENTcontinued from page 1
Before the battle began, conversation was casual across the rails.
Marching was the prelude to shooting. The redcoats and rebels had to be in close proximity in order to hit a target.
The farm-uniformed rebels lined up for a skirmish.Banners – and even opponents – were often obscured by the musket andcannon smoke.
Loading a musket had to be done on the fly.
The bayonet was an important part of battleregalia.

TIPS & HOW TO
Avoid Strokes by Switching to a Mediterranean Diet NewsUSA
Donna Mendes, M.D., asenior vascular surgeon atSt. Luke’s-RooseveltHospitals in New York, N.Y.,and member of the Societyfor Vascular Surgery, saysapproximately 795,000strokes occur per year in theUnited States.
You can improve yourhealth — and chances ofavoiding a stroke, impair-ment and possibly death —by simply switching to aMediterranean diet. Thiscan lower low-densitylipoprotein (LDL) choles-terol, which is the “bad”cholesterol that’s more like-ly to build up fatty depositsin your arteries.
The Mediterranean dietcontains:
• Olive or canola oil as ahealthy replacement for but-ter or margarine. Use it incooking, for dipping or evenas a spread on bread.• Seven to 10 servings ofvegetables and fruits daily.When possible, choose freshand seasonal produce. If youlike to snack, cut them up inpieces, and store them inyour refrigerator.• Whole-grain bread andcereal. Begin to eat morewhole-grain rice and pastaproducts. Choose organicdips for bread.• Healthy nuts. Includeunsalted almonds, cashews,pistachios and walnuts lim-ited to a handful per day.Choose natural peanut but-ter, without hydrogenatedfat added.• No salt. For seasoning use
herbs and spices instead.• Fresh fish and poultry oneto two times a week. Try lessfatty fish, like tuna, salmon,trout, mackerel and herring.Grilling, rather than frying,is the best way to preparefish. Avoid skin on poultry.• Red meat, but only a fewtimes per week. One portionshould be the size of a deckof cards. Avoid salty andhigh-fat meats.• Low-fat dairy products likeskim milk, fat-free yogurtand low-fat cheese.• If your physician permitsit, you may have a glass ofwine at dinner.

How You Think Is asImportant as What You Think
NewsUSA
Change is inevitable. Thestatus quo is untenable. Yet,few people and businessesare able to identify the realproblem.
“Many people pride them-selves on being able to thinkoutside the box,” says JimFeldman, a renownedkeynote speaker, entrepre-neur, consultant and authorof numerous books. “Toeffectively answer the ques-tion, you must first startinside the box, where thetrue problem exists.”
According to innovationexpert Feldman, making thesimple complicated is easy,but making the complexsimple often requires think-ing “inside the box.”
Referring to “inside thebox,” Feldman describes theprocess as “3D thinking.” Hesays it’s important to breakthe problem into smallerpieces. What is the “depth”of your knowledge? What isthe “distance” to market? Doyou have the “determina-tion” to succeed?
Feldman points to anunsettling trend in cus-tomer service innovation.The shift has been to out-source services, automatebilling and reduce personalattention. As a result, errorshave increased.
In his blog, Feldmanpoints out, recent experi-ences with AT&T andCitiMortgage.
“AT&T sent out their
monthly statement, whichcontained several billingerrors,” notes Feldman. “Icalled their customer serv-ice line to be placed on hold.‘Your call is important. Weare servicing other cus-tomers, please stay on theline.’ Important? No technol-ogy. No automated callback.No options that so manyother companies utilizewhen the lines are busy. Thelargest communicationcompany in the world couldnot communicate.”
Similarly, CitiMortgageuses representatives in thePhilippines and India whodo not have the ability toreturn calls or make deci-sions, and lack customer-solution commitment. ToFeldman, it appears that bigbanks have lost interest intheir customers.
“From an outside view-point, I am able to identifythe problem from an unbi-ased perspective. Maybe
they should engage my serv-ices,” he quips. Feldman isan expert in mastering thesechanges and shifts. He hasassisted companies likeApple, Microsoft, Coca-Cola,Wynn Las Vegas, HP, Toyotaand the U.S. Department ofDefense.
“To make ‘shift happen’you have to manage thechange process itself,” hesays. “The secret is not tobrace yourself for change,but relax and create a bettercustomer experience.”Performance improvementscannot become an exercisein frustration and failure,for either consumers oremployees.
If you or your companyneed help managing change,set up a free consultationwith Feldman by calling 312-527-9111. You can also visithis website at www.shifthap-pens.com or www.sosthink-tank.com.
The Best Way to Find Deals on the Internet
NewsUSA
Have you everhad the problem ofreceiving so many“deals” in youremail inbox thatyou don’t havetime to sift throughthem all? Well, itturns out there’s abetter way to findInternet deals youactually want with-out spending valu-able time search-ing through theones you don’twant.
“When compa-nies push deals tousers — whetherthey want them ornot — they arewasting their time, and yourtime,” says John Casson,CEO and founder of DailyDeal Superstore — a dealaggregator that bringstogether discounts and offersfrom across the web and com-piles emails tailored to yourinterests. “We designed DailyDeal Superstore so that theuser is in control. DDS letsthem to choose the cities andtypes of deals they want”
It’s this user control thatallows customers to targetthe deals they want across anumber of sites.
“If you wanted an Italianrestaurant deal in Queens,and you found thatLivingSocial didn’t have one,you may have missed outbecause there may have beenone on Gilt City,” saysCasson.
“DailyDealSuperstore.comtakes the stress out of search-ing through several deal com-panies. We show all thoseItalian restaurant deals fromall the companies.”
From a collective search,including sites like Woot!,KGB Deals, Gilt City andGroupon, you can make your
smartphone andFacebook page dothe work for you.Daily DealSuperstore is awebsite that gath-ers deals from hun-dreds of deal com-panies, categorizesthem, puts them in10,000 differenttowns and citiesand sends a cus-tomized email withoffers relating toyour interests andspecified location.
S m a r t p h o n eusers can takeadvantage of thisnew platform too,and the easy-to-useFacebook appmakes it even easi-
er, as deals are curated basedupon the user’s location,“likes” and interests.
“It will show you deals thatrelate to exactly where youare and what you like,” saysCasson. “It’s simple and fast,and makes it easier not tomiss out on deals.”
Better yet, users can earnpoints every time a friendbuys a deal, forever (so longas they are a member). Thesepoints are redeemed forreward cards such asAmazon vouchers andiTunes gift cards.

The Ultimate Beatles Fan’sDream Vacation
NewsUSA
There’ve been a lot of hard day’s nightssince 73 million Americans tuned in to “TheEd Sullivan Show” in 1964 to watch theBeatles forever change rock ‘n’ roll. If youwere one of them — or maybe just fascinat-ed by why teenage girls spent so many hoursdebating whether Paul or John was cuter —get ready for what may be the perfect vaca-tion idea.
We’re talking CIE Tours’ “Icons ofBritain.” And while it’s definitely not AllBeatles, All The Time — check out the othermust-sees in London, Scotland and Wales —clearly a big draw is recapturing what’sdescribed as “the fevered feel of the early‘60s in Liverpool” where the Fab Four gottheir start.
Here’s some of what you’ll see:• The Beatles’ Boyhood Homes. It’s easyto imagine the teenaged Paul and John writ-ing the lyrics to “I Saw Her Standing There”in the living room of the future Sir PaulMcCartney’s humble 20 Forthlin Roadhouse. As McCartney recalled: “I’d start offwith ‘She was just 17, she’d never been abeauty queen.’ And he’d be like, ‘Oh no,that’s useless.’”• The Cavern Club. Still a live-music venuethat’s especially packed when a tribute banddons mop-tops and “yeah, yeahs” theirhearts out, the club hosted the Beatles 292times. The 293rd time, promised by managerBrian Epstein shortly before the group flewoff to America, never happened.• Jaw-Dropping Castles. Not only will youget a peak inside The Queen’s official resi-dence, Windsor Castle — and your local tour
guide will surely have lots to share aboutgoings-on there — but a rip-roaring eveningbanquet at Cardiff Castle will explainwhat’s meant by “Welsh hospitality.”• The Beatles Story. This state-of-the-artattraction in the heart of Liverpool’s revital-ized wharf district includes a behind-the-scenes look at the famous Abbey RoadStudios, an underwater trip on the YellowSubmarine and a “Fab 4D” extravaganzathat uses the latest technology to bring thegroup’s music to life.• A Taste of Scotland. Specifically, a din-ner of Scottish specialties — including, yes,the famous haggis — and a lively show withsongs, stories and a display of traditionalstep dancing.
If You Go: The respected CIE Tours hasescorted millions of Americans on motor-coach tours of Ireland, Scotland, Englandand Wales for more than 81 years. For moreinfo on the fully inclusive “Icons of Britain”package, contact your travel agent, or callCIE at 1-800-243-8687 or visitwww.cietours.com.

TIPS & HOW TO
Avoid Strokes by Switching to a Mediterranean Diet NewsUSA
Donna Mendes, M.D., asenior vascular surgeon atSt. Luke’s-RooseveltHospitals in New York, N.Y.,and member of the Societyfor Vascular Surgery, saysapproximately 795,000strokes occur per year in theUnited States.
You can improve yourhealth — and chances ofavoiding a stroke, impair-ment and possibly death —by simply switching to aMediterranean diet. Thiscan lower low-densitylipoprotein (LDL) choles-terol, which is the “bad”cholesterol that’s more like-ly to build up fatty depositsin your arteries.
The Mediterranean dietcontains:
• Olive or canola oil as ahealthy replacement for but-ter or margarine. Use it incooking, for dipping or evenas a spread on bread.• Seven to 10 servings ofvegetables and fruits daily.When possible, choose freshand seasonal produce. If youlike to snack, cut them up inpieces, and store them inyour refrigerator.• Whole-grain bread andcereal. Begin to eat morewhole-grain rice and pastaproducts. Choose organicdips for bread.• Healthy nuts. Includeunsalted almonds, cashews,pistachios and walnuts lim-ited to a handful per day.Choose natural peanut but-ter, without hydrogenatedfat added.• No salt. For seasoning use
herbs and spices instead.• Fresh fish and poultry oneto two times a week. Try lessfatty fish, like tuna, salmon,trout, mackerel and herring.Grilling, rather than frying,is the best way to preparefish. Avoid skin on poultry.• Red meat, but only a fewtimes per week. One portionshould be the size of a deckof cards. Avoid salty andhigh-fat meats.• Low-fat dairy products likeskim milk, fat-free yogurtand low-fat cheese.• If your physician permitsit, you may have a glass ofwine at dinner.

How You Think Is asImportant as What You Think
NewsUSA
Change is inevitable. Thestatus quo is untenable. Yet,few people and businessesare able to identify the realproblem.
“Many people pride them-selves on being able to thinkoutside the box,” says JimFeldman, a renownedkeynote speaker, entrepre-neur, consultant and authorof numerous books. “Toeffectively answer the ques-tion, you must first startinside the box, where thetrue problem exists.”
According to innovationexpert Feldman, making thesimple complicated is easy,but making the complexsimple often requires think-ing “inside the box.”
Referring to “inside thebox,” Feldman describes theprocess as “3D thinking.” Hesays it’s important to breakthe problem into smallerpieces. What is the “depth”of your knowledge? What isthe “distance” to market? Doyou have the “determina-tion” to succeed?
Feldman points to anunsettling trend in cus-tomer service innovation.The shift has been to out-source services, automatebilling and reduce personalattention. As a result, errorshave increased.
In his blog, Feldmanpoints out, recent experi-ences with AT&T andCitiMortgage.
“AT&T sent out their
monthly statement, whichcontained several billingerrors,” notes Feldman. “Icalled their customer serv-ice line to be placed on hold.‘Your call is important. Weare servicing other cus-tomers, please stay on theline.’ Important? No technol-ogy. No automated callback.No options that so manyother companies utilizewhen the lines are busy. Thelargest communicationcompany in the world couldnot communicate.”
Similarly, CitiMortgageuses representatives in thePhilippines and India whodo not have the ability toreturn calls or make deci-sions, and lack customer-solution commitment. ToFeldman, it appears that bigbanks have lost interest intheir customers.
“From an outside view-point, I am able to identifythe problem from an unbi-ased perspective. Maybe
they should engage my serv-ices,” he quips. Feldman isan expert in mastering thesechanges and shifts. He hasassisted companies likeApple, Microsoft, Coca-Cola,Wynn Las Vegas, HP, Toyotaand the U.S. Department ofDefense.
“To make ‘shift happen’you have to manage thechange process itself,” hesays. “The secret is not tobrace yourself for change,but relax and create a bettercustomer experience.”Performance improvementscannot become an exercisein frustration and failure,for either consumers oremployees.

The Ultimate Beatles Fan’sDream Vacation
NewsUSA
There’ve been a lot of hard day’s nightssince 73 million Americans tuned in to “TheEd Sullivan Show” in 1964 to watch theBeatles forever change rock ‘n’ roll. If youwere one of them — or maybe just fascinat-ed by why teenage girls spent so many hoursdebating whether Paul or John was cuter —get ready for what may be the perfect vaca-tion idea.
We’re talking CIE Tours’ “Icons ofBritain.” And while it’s definitely not AllBeatles, All The Time — check out the othermust-sees in London, Scotland and Wales —clearly a big draw is recapturing what’sdescribed as “the fevered feel of the early‘60s in Liverpool” where the Fab Four gottheir start.
Here’s some of what you’ll see:• The Beatles’ Boyhood Homes. It’s easyto imagine the teenaged Paul and John writ-ing the lyrics to “I Saw Her Standing There”in the living room of the future Sir PaulMcCartney’s humble 20 Forthlin Roadhouse. As McCartney recalled: “I’d start offwith ‘She was just 17, she’d never been abeauty queen.’ And he’d be like, ‘Oh no,that’s useless.’”• The Cavern Club. Still a live-music venuethat’s especially packed when a tribute banddons mop-tops and “yeah, yeahs” theirhearts out, the club hosted the Beatles 292times. The 293rd time, promised by managerBrian Epstein shortly before the group flewoff to America, never happened.• Jaw-Dropping Castles. Not only will youget a peak inside The Queen’s official resi-dence, Windsor Castle — and your local tour
guide will surely have lots to share aboutgoings-on there — but a rip-roaring eveningbanquet at Cardiff Castle will explainwhat’s meant by “Welsh hospitality.”• The Beatles Story. This state-of-the-artattraction in the heart of Liverpool’s revital-ized wharf district includes a behind-the-scenes look at the famous Abbey RoadStudios, an underwater trip on the YellowSubmarine and a “Fab 4D” extravaganzathat uses the latest technology to bring thegroup’s music to life.• A Taste of Scotland. Specifically, a din-ner of Scottish specialties — including, yes,the famous haggis — and a lively show withsongs, stories and a display of traditionalstep dancing.
If You Go: The respected CIE Tours hasescorted millions of Americans on motor-coach tours of Ireland, Scotland, Englandand Wales for more than 81 years. For moreinfo on the fully inclusive “Icons of Britain”package, contact your travel agent, or callCIE at 1-800-243-8687 or visitwww.cietours.com.

BY KEITH GRIFFINIn at least one demographic, the new 2014
Hyundai Equus fails: my eight-year olddaughter. She’s disappointed the “Koreanlimo” as she has dubbed it no longer featuresa cooler, massage and foot rest in the rearseats where she rides.
Those were all available in the Ultimatepackage when the Equus was first intro-duced to the United States in the 2011 modelyear but Hyundai has deleted those options.Why? The U.S. is a market that focuses on dri-ving and not being driven. In other words,nobody was probably buying those options,so why bother.
Aside from my daughter’s disappoint-ment, there is little not to like about theredesigned 2014 Hyundai Equus. In a drivearound New York City and then for a fewdays after at my home in Connecticut, itproved itself a delightful vehicle for handlingboth urban and suburban life with aplomb.
The new Equus features a lot of Hyundaifirsts.
• Blind Spot with Rear Cross-traffic Alert• Multi-view camera system• Smart cruise control - stop/start• Power door closure• 12.3-inch full digital IP display• Dual rear seat 9.2” monitors• LED fog lights• 9.2-inch LCD Screen• 7-inch Color LCD IP display• Steering wheel haptic dial control• Proximity key - card type• Power lumbar at the rear outboard seats
(it’s not massage but it’s a nice compromise)Granted, all are available on other luxury
cars (and some non-luxury models as well)but it bodes well for the less-expensive cars in
the Hyundai lineup because manufacturerspractice the trickle-down theory when itcomes to technology.
The best three features are the blind spotmonitor with rear cross traffic alert; themulti-view camera system, and the smartcruise control with stop/start. The latter isgoing to work well in stop-and-go traffic and
will bring you back up to speed as long asyou’re not stopped for more than three sec-onds.
The blind spot monitor with rear crosstraffic alert is a must-have for anybody whofrequents parking garages, suburban malls,crowded parking lots, etc. In other words, it’ssomething every car should have. Same with
the multi-view camera system that deliversan overhead view of your car. It makes park-ing simpler as well as backing out throughnarrow driveways like mine that have abrick wall on one side.

5.0-liter Tau DOHC V8 engine, producing 429horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 376 lb. ft. oftorque at 5,000 rpm, with a higher specific out-put (85.8 horsepower per/liter) than its nor-mally-aspirated premium luxury competitors.Fuel economy is estimated at 15-mpg city, 23-mpg highway and 18-mpg combined and thebest news is it runs on regular fuel.
The 2014 Hyundai Equus, thanks to somestyling updates, is a much better looking car.The front grille and bumper have been revisedwith the biggest positive change being the dele-tion of the chrome accents. The solid car ismuch more in line with what customers wantfrom a luxury sedan. In other words, it looks alot less tacky.
The chrome accents are also gone from therear bumper, as well, which now featuresrevised LED rear lamp graphics. The Equuslogo also appears smaller to the eye. Thatmight be thanks to the absence of chromearound it. The side mirrors have also beenrevised for better NVH, which is how manu-facturers measure road noise and ride.
Granted, it’s not just the mirrors making a
difference in the ride that is improved.One thing that hasn’t changed is Hyundai’s
desire to keep the Equus a true premiumbrand. Only 400 of its dealers sell the car. (It’s agood sign if your local Hyundai dealer doesbecause it means it is a top tier store.) The testdrive still comes to the consumer if theydesire, which means not going to the dealer-ship. The test drive is on your schedule.
Service, if needed, includes pickup anddrop-off and the use of a loaner, too. Servicelevels like that made the Hyundai Equus out-pace its luxury competitors in spite of costingthousands of dollars less in the 2013 J.D. PowerCustomer Service Index Study.
Pricing for the 2014 Hyundai Equus for theSignature level is $61,000, which is only a smallbump up from the 2013 model year price of$59,250. The Ultimate level, which is just as itsname suggests, has increased to $68,000 for the2014 model up from $66,250. Both levels are, asstated up top, thousands of dollars below thecompetitors like the Lexus LS 460, which has a2013 model year starting price of $71,990 (or$80,330 when comparably equipped) and theMercedes S550, which has a 2013 model yearstarting price of $95,000 (or $98,885 when com-parably equipped). This is purely subjective measure but put the Equus at 98% of the
refinement level of the Lexus and Mercedes.By the way, for the true number crunchersamong us, the Equus has a higher residualvalue than the Lexus and Mercedes models.
Are you looking for the best luxury modelon the market without paying the full price?The 2014 Hyundai Equus is your best bet. Doyou covet a Lexus or Mercedes just for thenameplate? Your vanity is going to cost you.
