A graduate of McGill University in Montreal, where she excelled in soccer, Dutil knows there will be a variety of challenges ahead. “As a people-pleaser, I understand that not everyone will always agree with all of our decisions,” she noted, “but I hope to gain the trust of our members that my intentions will always be what’s best for the Council on Aging.”

So far, Dutil, who played five varsity sports in high school, is very impressed with the staff, the facility and the programming.

“The personnel here is incredibly passionate and has been so helpful as I gain familiarity in my role,” Dutil said. “As for the facility, I love how active and vibrant it is. Programming was a large part of my job in my ‘Y’ roles over the years, and my goal is to attempt to participate in all that is offered at the senior center in the next few months to get a sense of how to market them for increased participation. I’m amazed at all the activity that

occurs at the center and the number of volunteer hours that are important parts of this operation.”

Dutil, who resides in Cumberland, RI, is familiar with Bellingham because her in-laws live in town.

She likes Bellingham a lot. “It’s a well-run community, and many of the residents who grew up here seem to stay in the town for a long time,”she noted.

Dutil firmly believes that her athletic background and the life lessons that sports teach have been extremely valuable in the positions she has held over the years. At LaSalle Catholic Comprehensive

High school in Montreal, she was a star athlete and a captain. In college, she was a top-notch attacking sweeper (defender) in soccer.

“Sports saved my life,”she says emphatically. “It truly satisfied a competitive drive within me and made me passionate about the teams I played on.

If it weren’t for athletics, there’s no way I would ever have aspired to leadership roles. I learned to be a leader on and off the fields and the courts, and I thank all of the coaches who entrusted me with leadership roles.”

August 2018

Calling her parents (Maureen, 84, and Gerard, 86) role models for their support, encouragement and leadership, Dutil is Bellingham’s new senior center director because, as she says: “the timing for me was right for a career change.”

Dutil, who officially became the director in May, applied for the position after it was advertised and was hired in six weeks. On June 18, the day she started on her journey with the Council on Aging, a new era began. By all indications, she’s settling in nicely and her transition has been super smooth.

Pete’s Bluebird Annual Car Show Raises $6,000 for Charity

Pete’s Bluebird Restaurant sponsored its 14th annual car, truck and motorcycle show on June 10 and raised $6,000, which will go to Tufts Veterinary School of Medicine, Ret. Air Force Master Sergeant Joe Deslauriers, Bellingham VFW Post 7272 in memory of Angelo Risotti, and students at Blackstone Valley Tech.

The donation to Tufts is in memory of Katie, a Labrador Retriever owned by Pete’s owners Bill and Stammy Coniaris. Deslauriers was injured in action while serving in Afghanistan, and Risotti, a former Marine and member of the VFW, worked at the restaurant for 30+ years. The donation to Valley Tech students is for building and posting signs for the event.

Stammy and Billy extend their thanks to the entire car show staff: DJ Richie Heywood, Pete Daley of Circle CG Farm, and John Poulin of Morin’s Studio, who photographed the event (see photo, left); Sue Martone and Rebekah Strasburger of Tufts; St. Blaise Church for its publicity; and local businesses and friends who provided generous monetary donations and gift cards.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ADVERTISE in the

Bellingham g ©1994 Techpro Publications

BULLETIN

Print advertising IS a good investment. Here’s why...

1. PERMANENCE – Print ads don’t vanish five minutes after being seen. A single ad may be around for days, week, months—even years! The reader can decide when to look at it and can also refer back to it.

2. CREDIBILITY/BRAND SAFETY—The #1 Concern of Advertisers Today!1 Businesses can use the credibility and quality content of a publication such as the Bellingham Bulletin to their advantage (known as “the halo effect”).

3. LOYAL READERSHIP – Well-established publications with a loyal readership, such as the Bellingham Bulletin, increase the odds of your ad being seen.

4. PERFORMANCE – Delivering a strong visual message rather than a fleeting one (for example, radio, TV, social media) makes a stronger, more lasting impression.

Repetition keeps it top of mind.

5. PROMPT ACTION—A high percentage of readers take some action in response to print ads.2 They clip coupons, visit websites, contact the business by phone or email, make a purchase, etc.

6. ENGAGEMENT – Watching TV and listening to the radio are passive processes, sometimes taking place in the background while you are doing other activities. Your being motivated to pick up a newspaper is a conscious decision to engage and focus your attention.

7. “UNPLUG APPEAL”– Technology overload prompts non-technology-related relaxation activities, e.g., reading an actual newspaper rather than online news, particularly a hometown newspaper like the Bellingham Bulletin.

This includes 20-year patron Kristyn Marshall. She and her family have been patrons of Hunan since it first opened and were even loyal customers to the Changs’ previous restaurant in Franklin.

“We not only loved their food but also loved interacting with [Jimmy and Rainbow] when we went into the shop to pick up our food,” said Marshall. “They always knew who we were when we called as well as most of our order. They will be greatly missed.”

A snack factory was one of the activities at the First Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible Camp that was held June 26–30. Children made a marshmallow fort to highlight the story of Rahab. Participating were (L-R) Gavin Belcastro, Dezmond Duarte, Taylor Belcastro, Amayah Wilkins, Tristan Staples and Braeden Belcastro. As soon as the forts were built, the children devoured them. The theme of the camp was “Gear Up For God.”

Calling his mother (Betty) and his late father (Anthony) role models for their support and family-oriented nature, Priscella also rates Amorosino a major plus for his coaching help during high school. “Five years after I was out of Quincy High, I was chosen as a charter member of the school’s athletic hall of fame,” Priscella said. “While I played at Quincy, we won 72 percent of our games. My philosophy was to win because of all the preparation.”

Priscella credits Quincy High and BU athletics for instilling valuable life lessons. He says he learned the importance of a strong work ethic, how to be a valuable team player and to think fast. “I also learned to appreciate the opportunities I got and to embrace the moment,” he emphasized.

Although the tasks included competing against Jordan, Ewing and Lewis, Steve Priscella responded admirably—with determination, dedication and desire.

Ask the Insurance Expert…

(A monthly column answering your insurance questions)

TesT Your Knowledge: Take our TRUE or FALSE Insurance Quiz 1) You’ll get a surcharge if your car is heavily damaged after hitting a nasty pothole or debris in the road?

TRUE: this would be considered a single-vehicle accident. If you can get pictures of the pothole or debris, you should then appeal the surcharge.

2) You have to put extra insurance or special liability coverage on your homeowner policy if you have a swimming pool?

FALSE: most insurance companies are fine with pools and do not require additional coverage or limits. However, you may want to consider a higher $500,000 liability limit or a personal umbrella policy to better protect yourself.

Damage from a burst pipe or plumbing fixture, however, would be covered.

6) While backing out of your garage you break the mirror off of your car. The “shell” and glass are both destroyed. The insurance company will pay to replace both the “shell” and the glass for free since glass has no deductible?

FALSE: the company will pay for the glass for free, but the “shell” would be subject to a deductible.

7) In Massachusetts when a driver turns 25 years old their car insurance rates go down.

FALSE: drivers will see a decrease in their rating after being licensed for 3 years and after 6 years. If you’re first licensed at 50 3) You should ask for proof of insurance from years old, you will have the same rates as a any trade contractors who work at your newly licensed 17-year-old. house?

9) You rent an apartment and another tenant causes a fire that destroys all of your belongings. The landlord’s commercial insurance policy covers the personal belongings in the event of a fire.
