BY AMANDA COLLINS VILLAGER STAFF WRITER CHARLTON — Police Chief James Pervier is coordinating an effort to reduce the speed limit on the stretch of Route 20 between Routes 31 and 169 from 40 to 30 mph after a rash of serious accidents have occurred there. Last week alone, three accidents occurred in the intersection where Route 20 meets Stafford Street. One of these involved an elderly man who was a struck by a motorist while crossing the street in his HOWDY, PARTNER motorized wheelchair.

BY AMANDA COLLINS VILLAGER STAFF WRITER CHARLTON — State Rep. Peter Durant popped into the Senior Center for some lunch and legisla- tive chitchat last Tuesday, July 24. Over a plate of egg salad and macaroni and cheese, the newly elected official talked to some of his elder constituents about their concerns, and got an idea of how they think he’s doing on the job. Durant said he hopes to hold such informal meetings with the public frequently. He heads to places like senior centers, where groups often gather, to sit and have a casual con- versation with the public. Last week’s lunch was his second at the Charlton Senior Center in the two months he’s been in office. “I think it’s going well, it’s look- ing like a monthly thing.

Amanda Collins photos

CHARLTON — To the kids at Camp Joslin, anything is possible. They took that attitude to the water and the track for the camp’s third annual biathlon last Saturday, July 23, where kids with type-1 juvenile diabetes pushed themselves with the athletic challenge. Camp Joslin, a Charlton-based camp for boys is run in conjunction with the girls’ Clara Barton camp in Oxford by the Joslin Diabetes Center, in Boston. The camps com- bine classic summer fun, like camping and sports, with diabetes education and support. Campers from all across New England met up for the biathlon, which consisted of a quarter-mile swim through Putnam Pond and a mile run. A shorter course was also offered. According to summer program director Brenden Duffy, the sporting event gave kids the opportunity to do something they might not otherwise feel comfortable doing. “Sure, there are diabetes walks, but these kids probably wouldn’t do something as a grand as a biathlon,” he said. “What better Jay Hewitt gave this camper a little extra support Before they took to the course, a team of girls rallied together. place to do it than here, where they are sur- while she waited in line to have her blood sugar rounded with kids who are just like them and tested before beginning the biathlon. face the same challenges.” Former Ironman Triathlete Jay Hewitt, who also lives with type-1 diabetes, was there to offer kids support, and show them by example that they don’t have to be limited by their ill- ness. “This proves diabetes doesn’t have control of them and that they can cross that finish line — the symbolic finish line,” he said.

Former Ironman triathlete and member of the U.S. National Team for Long Course Triathlons, Jay Hewitt, who also lives with type-1 diabetes, posed with kids before the sporting event began.

These boys took to Putnam Pond for a quarter-mile swim as the first half of the event.

It was the first biathlon for these girls, who felt “nervous but excited,” before it started. “We have to be really cautious, there’s no margin for error when these kids are in the water,” Hewitt said of the dangers diabetic kids might face in an athletic event.

From a Design View, 2012 Acura TL Needs Work But Everything Else Is Perfect

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

My respect for the Acura TL goes way back to the introduction of the third-generation model in 2003 for all the right reasons. It continues to be one of the best near-luxury sedans on the road with the right balance of power, handling and comfort. Plus, it has an amazing stereo system that even I, among the least audio savvy people on the planet, can appreciate for its delicious sound. One of the first things I appreci- ated about the Acura TL is a high- ly responsive transmission. For 2012 it receives a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission. An aspect driving enthusiasts (i.e. those not con- cerned with fuel economy) will enjoy is the sport-minded double- kick-down feature that lets the driver command a double down- The 2012 Acura TL features greatly improved fuel economy and a new six-speed transmission.
