ike many towns across
the nation, East Brookfield celebrates Independence Day with patriotic
fanfare, a parade, vendors and
fireworks.
However, what makes this
annual tradition unique is that
the town celebrates our nation's
freedom a week after the Fourth
of July. Since 2000, area residents and visitors have become
accustomed to having their own
Independence Day celebration
on July 9.

At their Tuesday night meeting selectman discussed the
Community Compact, which is
an agreement with the state, and
their intent to develop best practices that the town can implement and what projects can be
addressed with the state's help.
A grant for supporting local
seniors, generation of a water
map and increasing the town's
energy efficiency through adding
new windows and doors in town
buildings were all discussed.

Chief Mark Smith addressed
selectmen at their Tuesday
night meeting to present three
candidates for appointment as
part-time officers.
The first candidate is Erik
Bishop, of Holden. Smith said
he has military police experience with the Marines, was an
auxiliary officer in Granby, a
firefighter in Holden and is
currently on the police force in
Wales.
“I know his work ethic and
I would without hesitation recommend him,” Smith said. “I’d
be very proud to have him on
our department.”
The second candidate is
Sarah Jane Dwyer, who Smith
said was recommended to him
by Lt. Col. Tom Grady at the
House of Corrections.
“She was very impressive
during her interview at the department,” Smith said.
Both Bishop and Smith said
they hoped these part-time
positions would eventually become full-time.
The third candidate was
Matthew Niles of Ludlow.
Smith said he was the training

to help cities and towns improve
their processes, planning and
develop best practices in a variety of areas. Participation in the
program also puts communities
in a favorable position to access
state grants.
Selectmen unanimously
approved the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning
Commission Mass Works Grant,
which includes a project on
Quaboag Street.
Selectmen also reported that
they are about to begin interviewing four candidates for the
vacant town accountant position.

The nonprofit has been
around for about 30 years,
and has worked on issues like
health care reform in 2006
here in Massachusetts as well
as global payment reform in
2010, according to Francisco
Ramos, HCFA's outreach and
organizing manager.
The group travels the state
and listens to the stories about
consumer experiences with
health care providers and
their access to health care. At
such a listening session held in
Northampton in May, Hardwick resident Judith Kohn invited the group to hold a session that would be central for
residents of the Quabbin and
Quaboag areas, so they could
more easily share their stories.
Kohn cited the fact that
the Quabbin-Quaboag area is
broken up into many service
provision areas and its local
community hospital, Baystate
Mary Lane, is in the center of
the area, which has as many
as 17 area towns. The area has
three counties and is transected

Robert J. Barry
WEST BROOKFIELD/
AUBURN – Robert “Bob”
John Barry, native of
Auburn, passed
away peacefully at home surrounded by his
family on July
7, 2016.
Born to
Robert “Pat”
and Isabelle
(Parmenter)
B a r r y,
he
attended school
in Auburn before graduating from Marietta College
in Ohio.
Bob married his high
school sweetheart Sueann
“Susie” Sigmund, and
had two daughters;
Kristie (Barry) Parisee,
who is married to Pete
Parisee of Killingworth,
Connecticut, and Lynn
(Barry) Corfey, who is
married to Raymond
“Francis” Corfey of West
Brookfield.
Bob and Sue moved
to Arkansas and then
Maryland, before returning
back to family in Auburn,
while Bob furthered his
career as an actuarial
consultant. After moving
to a horse farm in West
Boylston for several years,
they settled in Charlton to
be closer to their children
and grandchildren.
Bob reached his goal
of retiring at age 55 and
became an avid golfer.
He enjoyed his “games
with the boys” at Pleasant
Valley Country Club,
and all of the “side bets”
as well. He would want
to say, again, “thank you
for giving me all of your
money.”
Bob cherished his
many roles, including son
to Pat and Isabelle, and
more recently to Normand
“Pep” Raymond, and as
brother (“protector”) to
Ellen (Barry) Wenner and
Nancy (Barry) Ford.
But the greatest loves in
Bob’s life were his grandchildren; Olivia “Livie,

#1” Corfey, Nadia “cutesicles” Rohlfs, Deming
“Dem” Rohlfs, Sydney
“Sydney Jeanne,
#4” Corfey and
Harrison “my
only grandson”
Rohlfs. Bob
was at his happiest when surrounded by his
grandchildren.
He was a true
Papa.
Throughout
Bob’s life he touched so
many hearts. He was brilliant, kind, funny, successful, and recently described
as very fair. He was well
respected as a mentor,
friend, softball coach,
swim lesson instructor to
his grandkids, grill master,
hole in 1 titleholder, three
times, exceptional mathematician, great storyteller
and above all else…a wonderful father and example
of who to be and how to
treat others.
Bob always felt honored to have the love and
support of friends and
family throughout his
life. As his early onset
Alzheimer’s disease progressed, his genuine
personality continued
to attract others, including a new “BFF/pen pal”
Christine. He would want
to give special thanks to
Sarah and Katie - “You are
the best,” and to Lori and
Bill “Jim” for the peace
and care they brought to
all of us during his final
days.
In addition to this long
and costly obituary which
he would not be thrilled
with…he never wanted
anyone to be sad or stand
over him and grieve. He
considered his to be a
blessed life and thus
would want to welcome
his friends and family to
come and celebrate his life
at Pleasant Valley Country
Club in Sutton, where
he had many wonderful
moments. This memo-

Legislators, the
voice of the people
By Trish McCleary
T
he topic of Lyme disease is not a popular one in the State House, especially
for insurance lobbyists.
But with a majority of MA Legislators in
support of a bill that would mandate insurance coverage for treatment of Lyme disease, it
seems thousands of Massachusetts residents are
on the verge of long overdue help.
With a report by the Center for Health
Information and Analysis stating the bill would
cost nothing to implement and a supportive recommendation within the final report of the MA
Lyme Commission, one has to ask how Gov.
Charlie Baker will justify not signing the bill
and amending the bill, which now looks like
something predicated by the insurance industry
and a few members of the medical establishment, none of whom seem to represent Lyme
physicians who specialize in the treatment of
tick borne illnesses.
The new amendment seriously limits a patients’ access to appropriate care.
Furthermore, the governor's amendment states
“long-term antibiotic therapy is not clinically
recognized as an appropriate form of treatment,” though in fact long-term antibiotic therapy is recognized under the ILADS guidelines.
It would seem that Gov. Baker is not consulting physicians who specialize in Lyme disease, patient advocates or bill sponsors, all of
whom have firsthand and updated knowledge
of the needs of the Lyme community. In the
midst of an epidemic it seems crucial to have
updated, accurate data from those who specialize in the specific disease, and not from a society who denies it exists and denies scientific
data, despite thousands who continue to suffer.
Lyme patients have written letters, testified
at hearings, made phone calls to their legislators and have repeatedly told their stories to
educate and raise awareness, and still the state
continues to pick up the tab for the growing
numbers of people infected with Lyme disease
and who are becoming disabled at alarming
rates because of a lack of affordable access to
treatment by physicians who specialize in tickborne illnesses.
One would ask, why bother have an organization like CHIA when their analysis is seemingly ignored? One would ask how thousands
of Massachusetts families are supposed to
afford access to treatment to regain quality of
life and returning to jobs and functioning at a
normal level should a bill pass that does not
include the best interests of the patient?
One would ask, why the Massachusetts governor has allowed the voice of the people, who
have exhausted every possible avenue to implement this lifesaving legislation while taking
every step to be part of the legislative process,
have gone unheard and now seemingly over
shadowed by insurance lobbyists?
Is it possible that Gov. Baker, who was once
an insurance-industry CEO, will allow insurance companies to dictate and define our access
to affordable and necessary treatment here in
Massachusetts despite years of public outcry,
overwhelming legislative support, clinical data
and epidemic numbers of Lyme infections?
Who is serving to unite the commonwealth
and evoke the will of the people? The Lyme
community, side by side with Massachusetts
legislators, delivered a sound bill to Gov. Baker
and compromise is not an option at this point.
The thought of amending a bill to the point
where it no longer serves those it is intended to serve, is irresponsible to say the least.
Thousands of Massachusetts residents are
counting on legislators to stand united and serve
as the voice of the people.
More than 50,000 new cases of Lyme disease every year since 2014 and limited access to
appropriate treatment and poor testing remain
the number one cause of the development of
late stage Lyme disease, which has proven to
cause severe disability, and even death, to people of all ages.

Immunization—pluses and minuses
By Loren Gould
Guest columnist
I had my smallpox immunization in the
mid-1930s while in grade school. I later suffered measles, whooping cough, chicken pox
and pneumonia without there being immunizations for them at the time.
My sister, who was three years older,
brought them home to me so we could share.
When I went to the Rockies for a summer
geology field trip I had to have a shot for
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and in the
Army I had tetanus, typhoid and diphtheria
shots plus my first flu shot. Since then, I’ve
received pneumonia shots and booster tetanus and diphtheria shots, as well as flu shots
since 1995 up to the present.
I certainly see the value of immunization:
Smallpox has been virtually wiped out except
for strains maintained by a couple of governments on the chance that it might reappear;
Polio has been reduced to a minor threat in
this country, and a reduced threat in much of
the rest of the world.
When I was in grade school, a classmate
came down with polio and was confined to
an iron lung, which was the treatment at
the time. I contracted tuberculosis from a
Sunday school classmate, and that resulted
in one of my vertebrae being one-half the
width it should have been and prevented my
reaching 6 feet tall (I was 5-foot 11 1/2-inches inches tall at my maximum years ago).
I am all in favor of immunizations. I recently
had a shingles shot, since I had chicken pox
when I was young. Yet I can’t help wondering if any studies have been made about the
effect of all immunizations on the development of our immune systems. When you are
young is when the immune system is developing antibodies which will serve you the
rest of your life.
Our immune system has to learn how
to fight off various diseases. One way that
occurred in the past was by so-called child-
hood diseases. The body developed its
immune system by fighting off such diseases.
Obviously, the more dangerous ones such
as smallpox and polio are now controllable
by immunization. At the same time, should
some of the lesser diseases perhaps be given,
in weakened form, to children in order to
help the immune system develop to fight
other diseases met through life? I believe
that immunizations are developed using dead
disease vectors, but could weak versions of
live disease vectors be used to develop our
children’s immune systems?
Having had tuberculosis, I realize there
is a chance for it to reoccur as I age, but my
body should have developed antibodies to
fight the disease so that if I remain healthy,
I should be able to resist a reoccurrence.
If I let my body deteriorate by being overweight, smoking or by lack of exercise, I
would expect greater chance for reoccurrence
or the development of other diseases.
I favor the use of immunizations, but I
would not want to see them carried to the
level of ordinary colds or similar minor illnesses without safeguarding the ability of
the body’s immune system. When we are
mature, immunizations are more practical
as our immune system will have reached its
maximum potential.
I certainly think we need to somehow
learn how to control the eating habits of our
nation. Fast foods have become a way of life
in this country, and many people do not have
access to home-cooked meals, as people are
too busy holding one or more jobs and can’t
take the time to eat properly. Supermarkets
offer ready-to-eat meals, thus weakening any
interest in home-cooked ones. Do we really
need all of our electronic toys? Do we all
have to keep up with our peers? Such devices
tend to reduce physical activity, and they do
not appear to aid the ability to think.
I’m sure some of what I write is wrong,
but it is up to you to think. That was my goal
in teaching and in writing these Jottings.

Cultivating the soil in the

will also help expose the

“I think this is an important program.”
Smith also said that the
“Touch a Truck” event
held recently at North

His department gave out

Selectmen also set a
Special Town Meeting for
Friday, July 29, to vote up
to $60,000 for a feasibility

The School Department is applying for an
accelerated repair program through the Massachusetts School Building Association, and the
money up front for the

said the town would likely

MSBA would reimburse
the town about 62 percent
of the cost of the roof.

loan payment, depending
on the career they selected. Based on their mock
salary, they made decisions that affected their
finances, such as renting
an apartment on their
own or having a room-
mate, buying or leasing a
vehicle, purchasing furniture and saving for their
retirement.
“The goal of this
event is for students to
gain a better understanding of their future fiscal
responsibilities. They
learned about balancing a
budget and making choices about their finances.
They also learned how
one financial choice can
greatly impact another.”
said Jodie Gerulaitis,
financial education officer at Country Bank.
More than 70 volunteers from Country Bank
and the business community staffed the booths
and offered advice on
m o n ey m a n a g e m e n t .
Every booth included
choices that would be
encountered in real life.
Students had the option
to “buy” a high end set of
furniture, for example, or
opt for furniture at a more
affordable price. This
approach blends real-life
scenarios with every day
financial decisions in an
organized hands-on format. Seeing the actual
cost of things leaves the
students with a whole
new perspective on true
financial management.

On July 9, the town of East Brookfield had their annual Independence Day Celebration that will filled with activities throughout the
day. The town parade featured firetrucks, antique cars, local politicians, and floats made by local organizations and businesses.
CELEBRATION I FROM
PAGE 1
The day's events began with
a parade that featured fire trucks
from East Brookfield, North
Brookfield, West Brookfield,
B r o o k fi e l d , S p e n c e r a n d
Sturbridge. An array of tractors
and antique cars filled the street
as well as red, white, and blue
floats that were designed by
area businesses such as Uncle
Sam's Pizza, Inishowen Farms
and Red Max. State Sen. Anne
Gobi (D-Spencer) participated
in the East Brookfield parade
while Governor's Council candidate Jen Caissie, shook hands
with residents and handed out
pamphlets.
In the center of town, the
celebration continued with a
small fair. Food vendors, crafters, carnival games, and childrens' rides gave the community
a way to have fun as they awaited the fireworks. Erin Dahart
was one of the crafters set up
at the event. She along with her
cousin, Dianna Hoyt, created
Meme's Memories, which offers
their handcrafted items such as
scarves, blankets, and taggles.
This was their second year setting up at the East Brookfield
Independence Day celebration.
Since Dahart and Hoyt are both
mothers, Dahart joked that setting up at the fair was a, “Nice
way to get out of the house.”
But in all truth, Dahart
described the enjoyment that she
and her cousin get from creating things. Her favorite part is
seeing her customers, especially
little kids, enjoy the handcrafted
merchandise. “Just seeing them
happy is the best, it really is,” she
said. Being mothers themselves,
the owners of Meme's Memories
try to keep everything priced for
under $25.
The celebration is a tradition
that generations of residents have
enjoyed. This is exemplified by
Kim Brown of Southbridge and
her 6-year-old son, Cody Blair.
Brown has been coming to the
East Brookfield fireworks for 46
years, and now shares the tradition with her son. Brown said
she come year after year because
of all the fun it provides, including fireworks and music. “It is
important for the kids to have
fun,” she said.
Maureen Floyde, a Barre resident, enjoyed the events and fireworks alongside her children and
grandchild. She described the
celebration as, “ice clean, family fun.The kids in this area need
something to do.”
The East Brookfield fireworks
do not have any municipal funding, instead the fireworks celebration relies solely on donations and the generosity of the
public. Year after year, the East
Brookfield Fire Association fundraises all year for the event and
coordinates the day through the
volunteerism of firefighters and
their families.
Josh McCrillis has been president of the East Brookfield Fire
Association for the past eight
years. He explained that in addition to a $2 fee at night, the
fireworks are funded through
just donations and soliciting
local businesses throughout
the Brookfields and Spencer.
Planning starts three to four
months in advance. McCrillis
said that by having the celebration a week after the actual
Fourth of July, they are able to
save money on the cost of fireworks. “We get more show for
the same money,” he said. In
addition, by having it the week
after, the town of East Brookfield
does not have to compete with
other area towns.
The parade, fair and fireworks
are all coordinated through the
East Brookfield Fire Association.
“It's the biggest thing East
Brookfield does every year,”
McCrillis said. After working in Worcester for a period of
time, McCrillis believes that East
Brookfield's firework display are
even better than that city's. The
event not only bring together the
community, but it strengthens the
already tight bonds of the town's
firefighters. “The entire fire family as a whole, it brings us together,” he said. The entire day's
worth of activities cost the association $15,000, with $12,000
just going toward paying for fireworks. This accounted for more
then 600 firework shells and created a display that was estimated
to last 18 to 22 minutes.
The East Brookfield Fire
Department just received a new
tanker truck and ambulance,
McCrillis said he appreciates
the community for these new
resources. “For a small department, we are really taken care of
by our town,” he said.
Year after year, the fireworks are a way in which the
Fire Association can thank the
public. After growing up in
East Brookfield and being with
the department for 23 years,
McCrillis understands the importance of the celebration for the
town.
“It's an ongoing tradition,” he
said. “If we ever found out it [the
fireworks] would not happen, we
would do whatever we could do
to make it happen.”

walking into some kind of
sci-fi horror movie,” said
O’Hop. “So many of the
trees have just been eaten
bare by them in so little
time. You can hardly walk
anywhere outdoors without a moth flying at you
from any given direction
and this is just the start of
it.”
Like many naturalist and tree wardens from
within the local area,
O’Hop has been focusing
her attention on informing the public how to
deal with the gypsy moth
in hopes of limiting their
impact into the future.
The arrival of the
invasive species to New
England is attributed to
an individual named Prof.
Leopold Trouvelot who in
1869, brought the gypsy
moth caterpillar to the
U.S. and Massachusetts
from Europe in an attempt
to create a new silkworm
industry stateside.
After some time the
experiments conducted by
the professor spiraled out
of control and the moths
escaped into the wild
where they began to breed
and devastate local forests
with their voracious eating.
The caterpillars can
grow up to 2 ½ inches and
can be identified by their
black hairs and red and
blue dots located along
their backs.
The caterpillars will
eat non-stop for nearly
two weeks before entering
their molting stages and
turning into moths, feeding on the leaves of hardwood trees.
Wa l k i n g i n t o a n y
wooded area individuals
can hear what sounds like
light rainfall when in fact
this is the sound of “frass”
or caterpillar droppings
raining down and a sign of
just how heavy the infestation currently is.
Most towns within
the local area including Sturbridge, Monson,
Brimfield, Holland and
Wa l e s ( i n c l u d i n g i n
the Norcross Wildlife
Sanctuary), have already
reported patches of areas
that show symptoms of
heavy de-foliation because
of the caterpillars. Reports
of the insects range from
Boston as far inland as
Michigan.
Monson Highway
Supervisor John Morrell
says that in Monson they
caterpillars are present
in small batches on areas
such as East Hill Road and
the northeastern region of
the town and that while
there are more than last
year, the worst is likely
yet to come.
“They usually tend to
appear heavily in threeyear cycles every 20 or so
years,” said Morrell who
says that the last time the
caterpillars appeared this
heavily from 1980 to 1982
much of Massachusetts’
forests were severely damaged.
“I saw a whole mountain-side in Hampden
that was left completely
bare because of them,”
said Morrell. “Spraying
chemicals is expensive
and can also damage the
trees depending on what
is used. It’s unfortunately
best to just let them run
their course and hope that
nature works things out
itself.”
With this year being the
second year of reported
caterpillar colonies next
summer is also expected
to be an even higher showing and further damage to
plants and trees.
The Sturbridge and
Holland areas have been
particualarly devastated
by the recent appearance
of the moths.
Sturbridge Tree Warden
Tom Chamberland recently published an essay on
the town’s website detailing the caterpillars and
how they function, highlighting ways to try and
manage them.
Much like Morrell,
Chamberland says that
chemical spraying to get
rid of the caterpillars can
be hazardous and is not
a cost-effective measure,
especially when dealing
with such a wide spread
area.
“There’s really no
way that any community
out there can adequately
address a pest like the
gypsy moth on their own,”
said Chamberland. “This
is the sort of thing that
needs to be addressed on a
state conservation level.”
Chamberland attributes
the recent resurgence
in the caterpillars to the
extensive drought that
plagued the region last
summer as well as more
dry weather that occurred
this past spring.
Chamberland says that
rainfall and wet weather
are a natural deterrent for
the moths, and helps to
keep their population numbers low as it is the perfect
breeding environment for
the biological insecticide
Bacillus Thuringiensis, a
parasitic bacteria that can
kill the caterpillars early
in their cycle and spread
throughout the colony.
However, recent conditions, according to both
Chamberland and O’Hop,
have neither been favorable in helping to eradicate
the current infestation nor
prevented the caterpillars
from having an even larger
population next year.
“It’s been so dry out
lately that the things that
are supposed to be able to
keep these guys in check
haven’t been working,”
said O’Hop.
Along with the bacteria
natural predators such as
a species of wasp, native
birds and mammals, help
to keep the caterpillar
population down.
With the molting period
having arrived for the caterpillars as of this week,
and the egg laying soon to
begin, Chamberland says
that a return to normal
rainfall patterns may be
the only hope the region
has but that it may already
be too late.
“I’ve been getting non-
stop calls from residents
for weeks now asking
what can be done to try
and get rid of them,” said
Chamberland. “The thing
is while it is possible to
take measures to try and
save individual trees that
property owners may have,
there just isn’t a good way
of dealing with them on
such a wide scale.”
In
his
essay
Chamberland lists effective measures of dealing
with the caterpilars and
their eggs including wrapping a band of foil around
the base of a tree and layering it with grease to help
keep them off the tree.
Egg sacks can be
removed using hoses and
should be soaked in water
as even spraying them off
the tree will still likely see
some of them hatch.
“Really the best thing
that can be done is simply to have people educate themselves on how
this insect operate,” said
Chamberland. “The more
we know about them the
better prepared we can try
and be for when we have
periods like this where
they return.”

The Tantasqua tennis camp was busy for the second straight week with a group of older campers further honing their skills.
Campers heat up courts

The heat was certainly
cranked up for the second week
of the Tantasqua tennis camp.
The temperatures were
scorching on the courts, but so
was the action as boys and girls
from across the region further
honed their on skills.
“We have had a really good
week,” Tantasqua girls varsity
tennis coach Jessie Lavallee
said. “The kids have been here
working hard and having a lot
of fun at the same time.”
Unlike the first week where
many of the kids were picking
up a racket for the first time,
the second week featured older
boys and girls who are looking
to take the next step in their
game.
“We do a lot of work on
serves and hitting returns,” Lavallee said. “We also have the
kids working on knowing what
shot that they want to hit next.
That is why we are working
hard on the match play perspective on things. With the heat,
though, we have had to take a
little bit of a different approach
during the week, but we have
Fore the future
done a good job of making it
all work.”
The camp also gives Lavallee the benefit of seeing a
glimpse into the future for the
Tantasqua tennis program.
“We get the opportunity to
work with kids that could potentially play when they come
to the high school level,” Lavallee said. “Tennis is a sport that
you can play for along time to
come.”

under arrest and transported to the State Police Barracks in Sturbridge, where he was
charged with the fol-

pilots of Wings of Rescue, other shelters and
our shelter to make this

to those that are helping
