Sandwich Community School
A great article and a must read by the Boston
Today devotes several full pages to bring us up to date on the alleged sex abuse ring at Sandwich's Camp Good News. The newspaper states that at least 14 former campers have come forward, to an attorney or to police, alleging they were sexually assaulted there from the 1970s through 2000. They have identified Devita and four other staffers as their abusers.The claims are as varied as they are sordid. One former camper says he was roughed up and molested by a counselor on a field trip to Battleship Cove in Fall River. A 45-year-old Florida woman who was a camper in the 1970s says she was raped in a bathroom on three occasions by a janitor who threatened to kill her mother if she told.
Read the Globe reports today that although they don't happen often, when they do, tornadoes in Massachusetts are far more deadly than anywhere else because of our population density, and deaths caused by tornadoes here rank first in the nation.
The 1953 Worcester tornado - rated an F4, perhaps reaching F5 at times - began in Petersham. It set down just before dinner time and close enough to Quabbin Reservoir that boaters saw it form from the water.
In Worcester alone, 66 people died. It was later determined that there were about 8,000 people in the area of Worcester where the tornado hit, and of those, 800 were either killed or injured enough to be taken to the hospital.
The debris field was phenomenally large. An item from the twister that originated in Holden was found 110 miles away on Cape Cod.
Read the Republican reports that the capital costs of a countywide sewer would be between $3.2 billion and $5.8 billion-a price range that does not take into consideration the ongoing operating costs of $40 million to $68 million each year.
The capital costs alone break down to up to $27,000 per person, or $33,000 per property, Mr. Ciolek told the Barnstable County Board of County Commissioners this week. That, he added, is assuming that every person helped pay into such a project, which would not be the case; he said no more than half of all Cape residents-homeowners-would shoulder the financial burden.
Read the Enterprise interviewed Sandwich novelist and travel writer Paul Theroux, 70, who to dates has produced 28 novels, 15 nonfiction works and hundreds of essays and articles. His 1975 book, "The Great Railway Bazaar" (Mariner Books, $14.95), ranks on many lists as one of the top travel books of all time. His novel "The Mosquito Coast" (Mariner Books, $14.95) was made into a film in 1986.

NotThePTA.org: 2009 Community School Audit STILL not finished!
Forget the hysteria about the ability of strange naked adults to mix with the kids. Forget the arguments by angry Seniors from other Towns demanding their rights to swim in a pool built and operated with Sandwich tax dollars. Even forget the small-minded, vindictive, petty political bullshit that seems to swirl around every school-related issue. Also attached is a partial management letter issued by Thevenin, Lynch and Bienvenue LLC, the auditing firm engaged by Town of Sandwich, which outline similar concerns for the year ended June 30, 2006. Not attached is a draft AUP report issued by Thevenin for the year ended June 30, 2008. This report was never finalized because neither Bob Simmons, as School Committee Chairman at that time, nor the Superintendent of Schools, were willing to sign a General Representation Letter certifying the adequacy of internal control procedures for that period of time. The basic issue under contention is the potential diversion of local property tax dollars from the operation of the public K-12 school district to the operation of the local Community School program. More specifically, issues have arisen over the potential under-allocation of building operating costs to the Community School programs as well as the past allocation of revenue from School Facilities Rental fees to Community School operations, rather than K-12 building operations, as required by law. We represent many concerned Sandwich Taxpayers, none of whom want to see the Community School programs curtailed , but many of whom believe that Community School operations continue to be at least partially funded with K-12 school budget operating moneys in violation of Massachusetts law. While all of us believe in the importance of the community school philosophy, we do not support the use of scarce educational budget dollars to support such a program. We are requesting the involvement of your office to ensure that the audit report is finalized and that any required corrective actions, including appropriate policies, procedures and safeguards are implemented to ensure that all Community School operating costs and revenue are properly classified and reported and to ensure that no tax dollars budgeted for K-12 school district operations are being used either directly or indirectly to support Community School programs.
