Volunteer Job Description Position Title: Adult LiaisonFor SVT’s Youth Conservation Steward Program Program Description: The Youth Conservation Steward program (YCS) involves youths in conservation and management of SVT reservations. Youth may work on various types of projects, including, but not limited to, trail work, invasive species control and environmental education. We work with boys and girls, ages 11 through 17, in our 36-town service area. While the program initially focused on boy and girl scouts, we work with youths from all affiliations, including faith and school groups. Position Description: The Adult Liaison will represent SVT to the scouting and other youth communities. The Liaison will coordinate youth community service and honor projects, provide guidance to the youths, and ensure project completion and quality outcomes. SVT staff will provide an orientation and training. The training will provide information on SVT procedures and provide an overview of invasive species management, trail construction and maintenance and wetlands permitting. You will be provided with a program binder of references and program guidelines. Position Responsibilities: Serve as a community liaison between area scouts and other youth groups and SVT staff. Attend local community group meetings, as feasible, to share information about the program. Match youth groups with appropriate conservation projects. Coordinate/supervise individual youth leadership projects OR general community service projects. Ensure that SVT guidelines are followed. Attend annual evaluation meetings to discuss program progress, share information and ideas and provide feedback. Volunteer Qualifications: Enjoy working with youths, aged 11 – 17. Previous experience working with youths is a bonus. Experience in conservation management is helpful, especially in trail work or invasive species control. Enjoyment of the outdoors and commitment to conservation.
Time commitment: We request that the liaisons commit to being involved in the program for at least 2 years. During the term of involvement, the monthly time required is approximately 2 -10 hours. Time commitment may vary seasonally and with the number and types of youth projects that a liaison is working on at a given time. We request that liaisons commit to supervising a minimum of 1 project at a time. We anticipate that liaisons will be able to easily handle 2 or 3 projects at one time due to the prolonged and sparse nature of most projects. (That is, they are spread out over a long period of time with only occasional tasks and events in that time period.) Supervisor: Laura Mattei, Director of Stewardship 978-443-5588, ext. 34 |

More winter weather means more vehicle crashes January 28, 2009 More winter weather in the form of snow, sleet and freezing rain caused several vehicle crashes in Southborough. Shortly after noon, firefighters responded to the MassPike westbound, just prior to Woodland Road for a vehicle vs. tanker truck. Five people were injured, four were transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. Due to the number of patients, a mutual aid ambulance was requested from Framingham.

SOUTHBORO MEDICAL GROUP AND UMASS MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE TO COLLABORATE ON REGIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES Southboro Medical Group (SMG), and Marlborough Hospital and its parent organization, UMass Memorial Health Care (UMass Memorial), jointly announced today an agreement that will provide increased access to health care services for the Route 495/MetroWest corridor. Central to the collaboration is the development of an existing building at 28 Newton Street, Southborough, attached to the existing SMG facility. Work begins next month to build out the shell space to be operational in fall 2009 with specialty physician practices and diagnostic services. Physically connected to SMG, it will provide easy access for the patients of the 75-member SMG physician group. Services will also be provided for patients of referring physicians throughout the region. While final plans remain in the developmental phase, SMG, Marlborough Hospital and UMass Memorial officials expect services at 28 Newton Street to include women’s imaging including digital mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, occupational medicine, and specialty care such as medical oncology, orthopedics and neurology. These services will be provided under the Marlborough Hospital/UMass Memorial Health Care umbrella, as well as by local area physicians and other partners. In addition, SMG will enhance its current radiology services. “For the convenience of our patients and to free up space to serve the growing number of people seeking care at Marlborough Hospital, we will move selected ambulatory services to this modern, new facility in Southborough,” said Marlborough Hospital President and CEO John Polanowicz. “Plus, we expect some medical staff members from both Marlborough Hospital and UMass Memorial Medical Group to see patients in this building.” According to Joseph Nunes, SMG administrator, this collaboration will complement services now available at his group practice, which focuses on primary care for adults and children. “We are working closely with Marlborough Hospital, UMass Memorial Health Care and local physicians to make access to additional specialty health care services readily available to our current patients and the community at large,” he said. “This collaboration builds on both the primary and specialty care services now at SMG.” Mr. Nunes also noted that included in the plans is work to enhance SMG’s current radiology services to an advanced digital platform and purchase of a multi-slice CT scanner. Comprehensive women’s imaging, including digital mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, bone density testing and ultrasound, is expected to be the first program at 28 Newton Street. “Our patients recognize that digital mammography is the most advanced technology available,” Mr. Nunes said. “We are excited to partner with Marlborough Hospital immediately to make it available.” On a temporary basis, SMG will refer its patients to the digital mammography service at nearby Marlborough Hospital. To accommodate these patients, Marlborough Hospital is adding an additional digital mammography unit. When the 28 Newton Street building opens this fall, Marlborough Hospital plans to move all its screening and diagnostic mammography along with its other women’s imaging services to this location. A focus of the 28 Newton Street facility will be care provided by a range of physician specialists, including care for cancer patients. As of fall 2009, the site will provide a comfortable new home for the medical oncology services that continue to be available until that time at Marlborough Hospital in conjunction with the UMass Memorial Cancer Center. In addition to care delivered by medical oncologists, hematologists and certified oncology nurses, services include onsite testing, chemotherapy treatments, patient/family education, nutritional support and therapeutic phlebotomy. Also slated to move is the Marlborough Hospital MedWorks Occupational Health Services. MedWorks is the region’s leading provider of a broad range of job-related medical services to help employers meet regulatory requirements and to keep their workers safe, healthy and productive. Marlborough Hospital officials note that moving the MedWorks program to the Southborough location will make it easier for area workers to access employment screenings and evaluations, along with treatment for workplace injuries. The move of these Marlborough Hospital services to 28 Newton Street has an added benefit for our community, noted Mr. Polanowicz. “We look forward to using the vacated space at Marlborough Hospital to support expansion of our emergency room facilities to better serve our patients,” he said. “UMass Memorial Health Care is excited to collaborate with the highly regarded physicians of Southboro Medical Group in a program that will directly impact the lives of tens of thousands of patients and their families,” said UMass Memorial President and CEO John O’Brien. UMass Memorial is the region’s leading health care system and clinical partner of UMass Medical School. About Marlborough Hospital Marlborough Hospital is served by a medical staff of more than 300 primary care physicians and specialists and over 600 employees, providing a wide range of inpatient and outpatient medical, surgical and ancillary services. A state-of-the-art Emergency Department, staffed by emergency medicine physicians from the UMass Memorial Medical Center, provides 24-hour emergency care. As a member of UMass Memorial Health Care, Marlborough Hospital provides patients with a direct link to the advanced medical resources of UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, a nationally recognized academic medical center. Marlborough Hospital is fully accredited by the Joint Commission and is a designated primary stroke service by the Massachusetts Department of Health. About Southboro Medical Group In July of 1972, the doors of Southboro Medical Group, Inc. (SMG) opened at 11 Main Street in downtown Southboro. Over the next 30 years, Southboro Medical Group continued to expand into one of the largest multispecialty group practices in the MetroWest region. Today SMG includes sites in Southborough, Westborough, Natick, Framingham and Milford, and offers services in specialty areas including adult and pediatric allergy, cardiology, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, optometry, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, podiatry, psychiatry, and rheumatology. In May of 1989, the main office of SMG moved into the spacious 24 Newton Street location in Southboro. In 2000, SMG became 100 percent physician owned and operated. On January 1, 2004, SMG became affiliated with Atrius Health. Today, SMG has more than 75 providers and more than 400 employees, and serves 60,000 patients in the region. We believe the key to SMG's success is based on the founding principle that has not changed - the commitment to provide quality and compassionate patient health care. About UMass Memorial Health Care UMass Memorial Health Care is Central Massachusetts’ largest not-for-profit health care delivery system, covering the complete health care continuum with UMass Memorial Medical Center, its academic medical center, member and affiliated community hospitals, freestanding primary care practices, ambulatory outpatient clinics, home health agencies, hospice programs, a rehabilitation group and mental heath services.

January 27, 2009 - At tonight’s Southborough Selectmen’s meeting the news was pretty bleak about the upcoming Annual Town meeting budgets. Most departments were told to toe the same line as last year, skip purchasing items that really are not needed, go over prior warrant articles to see what has been purchased and what funds may be left in those accounts, try to reduce heating oil costs and if an employee has left or retired to do the best the department heads can do without hiring a new person at this time. With the Governor expected to make his announcements on the state’s financial aid to cities and towns, Chairman William Boland told the department heads and residents attending the meeting that they have already made cuts to a variety of town departments and projects and still are $128,726 in the hole. He asked several town department heads if they could find the money within their budgets to help reduce even that figure. Several of the cuts made included funding for projects at the Neary School, the fire department flooring, insurance, roadways, senior citizen center projects, Main Street under grounding, solar lighting for the DPW and other projects. Cut from various budgets were $27,000 within the Southborough Police Department, $41,000 in the Southborough Fire Department, $16,700 at the Library, $60,000 the DPW, $15,000 the Building Department and slashes to several more departments. Also to be discussed with the department heads are the warrant articles for capital expenditures. Mr. Boland says the town has to take a serious look at some of these capital items that have been before town meeting in prior years. He doesn’t want to put some item in jeopardy because it has not been replaced. The Board then advised the department heads to be aware that the Advisory Committee may make recommendations for more than a level funded budget. They may make a proposal for two budgets. One budget that involves no tax increases which would mean digging deeper into town department budgets to make more severe cuts. Mr. Boland mentioned that this is not a good year to go ahead and spend unnecessarily as FY2011 could be grimmer. He said people are loosing their jobs and homes and that during the last quarter tax collections, delinquent bills were higher than in previous years.

Turnpike News Transportation Secretary Announces Free Turnpike FAST LANE Transponders Latest Reform Promotes Electronic Tolling, Steps Away from Manual Toll Collection Transportation Secretary James Aloisi, Jr. announced plans to provide Turnpike drivers FAST LANE transponders free of charge beginning February 15th. In addition, anyone who purchased a transponder after January 15, 2009 will be credited the upfront cost of $25.95. This plan applies to all vehicles, including taxi cabs and commercial vehicles. "We are taking reform and customer service for Turnpike users to a new level," said Secretary Aloisi. "This move sends a clear message that we are serious about efficiency in delivering transportation services and in this case serious about moving away from the days of the manned toll booth." "This represents another step toward the future by making best use of the latest technologies," said Alan LeBovidge, Executive Director, Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. "FAST LANE use is good for the consumer and good for the environment, with fewer engines idling and burning fuel in long lines at toll booths." All FAST LANE users will be assessed a monthly fee of 50 cents per transponder beginning in June to cover costs associated with the electronic toll collection program. Replacement transponders will also be available free of charge. FAST LANE transponder applications are available online or by calling 1-877-MASSPIKE (1-877-627-7745). Transponders also are available at FAST LANE Service Centers in Auburn, Natick, and East Boston and at eight Registry of Motor Vehicle branch offices across the Commonwealth. |

Firefighters extinguish chimney fire on Garrison Lane January 25, 2009 Firefighters responded to a call for a chimney fire on Garrison Lane six minutes after midnight on January 25th. Due to the nature of the call, an aerial device was requested from the Town of Ashland as Southborough's ladder is permanently out of service. First arriving firefighters found the occupants had extinguished the fire in the fireplace, however creosote built-up in the chimney continued to burn. A long private driveway made access difficult, however access to the chimney was gained by Ashland's aerial tower. The fire in the chimney was extinguished. An engine from Westborough was called to cover Southborough while all resources were committed to Garrison Lane. Southborough apparatus cleared the scene at 1:20 AM. This was the second chimney fire response in less than four hours -just after 8:00 PM on Saturday, January 24th, firefighters responded to East Main Street in Hopkinton when an intense chimney fire ignited materials in the basement of the home. It took firefighters from Hopkinton, Southborough, Ashland and Milford nearly two hours to control and extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported despite temperatures in the high single digits. |

SOLAR
ECLIPSE: On Monday, Jan. 26th, the Moon will pass in front of the sun
producing an annular "ring of fire" eclipse. This is not a total eclipse;
the Moon will cover only 93% of the sun's surface. Nevertheless, the Moon's
dead-center transit across the solar disk will produce a sight of rare
beauty for observers along the "path of annularity." Best views are to be
had from islands in Indonesia where the ring of fire will appear to sink
into the ocean at sunset. Meanwhile, in Australia, southeast Asia,
southern parts of India and South Africa, observers will experience an
off-center partial eclipse. Crescent-shaped sunbeams will dapple the ground
while high overhead the Moon takes a curved bite out of the sun.
