different countries, including<br />
Canada, Guatemala, Mexico,<br />
Poland, and Turkey.<br />
The team, calling themselves<br />
The Creativi-Trees, has<br />
been together six years (with<br />
some members having participated<br />
in DI for ten years). Even<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> DI’s “The Creativi-trees” won a first place award at the<br />
Global Finals in Knoxville, TN. Shwon is the entire team with their<br />
1st place medals: (top row l to r) James Crews, Kent Perlmutter,<br />
Joshua Perlmutter (bottom row l to r) Abby Meltzer, Ariana Ameli,<br />
Ryan Cahill.<br />
though the team had made it<br />
to Global Finals five years ago,<br />
this was their first time earning<br />
a 1st place award. To the<br />
team’s delight, they received<br />
their first place medals in front<br />
of over 17,000 people from 20<br />
different countries. In addition<br />
to the 1st place award, the<br />

continued from page 1<br />
Starting back in August, the<br />
team chose the Service Learning<br />
Challenge for this year’s DI<br />
season. As part of the Service<br />
Learning Challenge, the team<br />
had to plan a community event<br />
that would give back to the community<br />
in some way. The team<br />
chose to host the first ever <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
Film Festival in order to<br />
make money for the Art Department<br />
at <strong>Holliston</strong> High School,<br />
which had suffered budget cuts<br />
for this school year. Their January<br />
31 Film Festival was a success<br />
having garnered 14 film submissions<br />
and an audience of over 60<br />
people. The festival raised $413.<br />
The team solicited prizes from<br />
local businesses for the top film<br />
submissions: The Candy Cottage,<br />
Jasper Hill, Fiske’s, and<br />

Perlmutter, Kent Perlmutter, Abby Meltzer, Ryan Cahill, and James<br />
Crews (on guitar).<br />
Dairy Queen all donated gift<br />

The team also found community<br />
partners with experience<br />
in film or the arts to judge the<br />
films: the judges included Daniel<br />
Knapp, award-winning producer<br />
of educational media; Raouf<br />
Zaki, film director and producer<br />
with a filmography on IMDb;<br />
Doug Lack, Fine & Performing<br />
Arts Department Leader and<br />
Distinguished Educator; and<br />
New England landscape painter<br />
Holly Lombardo.<br />
At the end of the film festival,<br />
the team handed out the first<br />
place prize to Kyra Allen for her<br />
film “Her Name Was Emily”;<br />
second place and Audience<br />
Award went to Javier Rojo from<br />
Venezuela for his film “Spring is<br />
Here”; and third place went to<br />
Nolan Murphy for his film “Pinball<br />
Wizard”. The team decided<br />
to award the $413 to the <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
High School Art Department<br />
under the care of Mr. Doug Lack<br />
so that he could purchase a color<br />
printer for the school.<br />
Now that the team’s community<br />
event was over, they had to<br />
put together a skit to showcase<br />
the event to DI appraisers at the<br />
Regional Tournament, which<br />
took place at <strong>Holliston</strong> High<br />
School on March 19. The skit<br />
they created featured four super<br />
heroes: Captain Plan It, Film<br />
Buff, Morph Man, and Smooth<br />
Two <strong>Holliston</strong> DI team members, Abby Meltzer and Ryan Cahill, giving<br />
a check for $413 to Mr. Doug Lack, Fine & Performing Arts Department<br />
Leader and instructor at <strong>Holliston</strong> High School.<br />
Talk who defeated the dreaded<br />
villain, Budget Cuts. The skit<br />
also featured original music<br />
(both composition and lyrics) by<br />
team member James Crews, who<br />
played guitar during the skit.<br />
The team won first place in the<br />
Regional Tournament and went<br />
on to the State Tournament at<br />
Worcester Polytechnic Institute<br />
(WPI) on March 26. The State<br />
Tournament had stiff competition,<br />
but the team was able to<br />
place 2nd. The top two teams<br />
at States qualify for the Global<br />
Finals tournament in Knoxville,<br />
TN from May 24-29. One other<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> team also qualified for<br />
Global Finals; this team, consisting<br />
of <strong>Holliston</strong> High School<br />
sophomores Maria Gentile, Olivia<br />

Perlmutter, Kent Perlmutter.<br />
Hazel Peters, qualified in the<br />
Improvisation Challenge.<br />
Once the two teams knew<br />
that they qualified for the<br />
Global Tournament, they<br />
joined efforts in their fundraising.<br />
All of a sudden pink flamingos<br />
showed up in people’s yards<br />
as the “flocking” began. Their<br />
flocking efforts raised over<br />
$1400; both teams also put on<br />
a Kid’s Night Out, which raised<br />
over $1600. Adding that to<br />
the amount given by <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
DI through <strong>Holliston</strong> PTSA,<br />
the amount donated by Fiske’s<br />
General Store, by Melanie<br />
Harrington through the Yoga<br />
Exchange, and each team’s Go-<br />
FundMe Page, which collected<br />
generous donations from community<br />
members, friends, and<br />
family, the teams were able to<br />
cover most of the cost of attending<br />
the tournament.<br />
Going forward, team member<br />
James Crews has already<br />
started planning to turn the<br />
Film Festival into <strong>Holliston</strong>’s<br />
2nd Annual Film Festival, and<br />
he and Kent Perlmutter will<br />
continue with the <strong>Holliston</strong> DI<br />
program. The seniors on the<br />
team have indicated a desire<br />
to meet up together next year<br />
to compete in the University<br />
Level.<br />

by Thai dance teacher<br />
Kaweetide Teskaew, showcase<br />
typical Thai dress, and perform<br />
music they have learned under<br />
the tutelage of Siriwan Riteuengrung:<br />
The “Serng pong larng,” a<br />
folk dance of the Northeastern<br />
region of Thailand, is performed<br />
during traditional celebrations<br />
and festivals.<br />
The “Seng kra tob mai” or<br />
“tapping bamboos” dance illustrates<br />
the activities of a group of<br />
villagers from the southern part<br />
of the region, known as Isan.<br />
The dancers each hold two sticks,<br />
with which they execute complex<br />
choreographic movements, shaking<br />
the sticks and tapping them<br />
lightly.<br />
Fon, or the “Cow bell dance”<br />
is typically seen in northern Thailand.<br />
It is performed in groups<br />
and has very slow, graceful, almost<br />
meditative movements.<br />
The music of Thailand is a<br />
treat to enjoy. Some of the native<br />
musical instruments will include<br />
the “ranat ek,” similar to our alto<br />
xylophone; the “jakhe,” a crocodile-shaped,<br />
fretted floor zither<br />
with three strings; the “saw u,” a<br />
bowed, string instrument and its<br />
cousin, the “saw duang,” a twostringed<br />
instrument played vertically<br />
on the lap; and the “khim,”<br />
a hammered dulcimer.<br />
Culture Fest will also feature<br />
the beautiful voice of Jorbley De<br />

heritage. Nine different food<br />
vendors will offer items inspired<br />

Changing the World One Child at a Time<br />
By Deborah Burke Henderson,<br />
Contributing Writer<br />
There’s a tangible feeling of<br />
people relating to people when<br />
you walk through the classrooms<br />
at Dream Station, the early childhood<br />
learning center located on<br />
Pleasant Street near the Ashland<br />
train station.<br />
“It’s a family atmosphere,”<br />
Michelle McGrath, center director,<br />
stated. “It’s important to<br />
us to focus on relationships. We<br />
like having a connection with<br />
our families, and we invest in our<br />
teachers, personally and professionally.<br />
Everybody matters.”<br />
Preschool teacher Kelly Marshall<br />
experienced this kind of<br />
personal investment firsthand<br />
as she encountered family difficulties.<br />
“I don’t know what I’d<br />
do without my Dream Station<br />
family,” Marshall stated. “I love<br />
them.”<br />
The Dream Station opened in<br />
2005. McGrath has served as the<br />
center’s director since 2013.<br />
Twenty-year-old Courtney<br />
Brown, a <strong>Holliston</strong> resident and<br />
college student, started at the<br />
Dream Station as a seasonal<br />
teacher for the December holidays.<br />
“Michelle’s a great boss,”<br />
Brown quipped with a smile, although<br />
McGrath readily added,<br />
“I’m more of a supporter.”<br />
Brown’s experience was so meaningful<br />
she switched her major to<br />
early childhood education. She<br />
just joined the Dream Station<br />
team, and will fit college classes<br />
around her work schedule.<br />
Another teacher is taking a<br />
month’s leave to travel, and Mc-<br />
Grath is happy to accommodate.<br />
“The core team is pretty stable,<br />
because they appreciate being<br />
part of a family community,”<br />
McGrath added.<br />
Awakening Potential<br />
in Each Child<br />
Dream Station teachers focus<br />
on helping youngsters learn selfhelp<br />
and social-emotional skills<br />
through individual and group<br />
play. They provide a safe and<br />
engaging environment for young<br />
teens, too.<br />
Sarah Vallee, office manager; Michelle McGrath, director; and Casey<br />
Bishop, school-age coordinator, make up part of the Dream Team<br />
early childhood education team. Dream Station teachers focus on<br />
relationships and individualized education plans to accommodate<br />
students learning at their own pace. (Photo/Deborah Burke Henderson)<br />
“We’re helping to formulate<br />
the foundation of every child’s<br />
life by teaching them the lifelong<br />
basics of communication,<br />
respect and confidence,” Mc-<br />
Grath added. “As we instill these<br />
qualities in children, they will<br />
grow into productive, self-aware<br />
adults.”<br />
A One-Stop Shop<br />
The learning center houses a<br />
variety of educational interactions<br />
for children as young as 6<br />
weeks through 13 years of age.<br />
The Group Care Program<br />
caters to infants, toddlers and<br />
preschoolers, each with a specific,<br />
structured track. Children<br />
experience a nurturing environment<br />
that enables learning and<br />
creativity through play. A curriculum<br />
is designed specifically<br />
so each child learns at his pace.<br />
Summer School Program<br />
June 27 th launched the Dream<br />
Station’s popular Summer<br />
School program, which runs<br />
through August 26 th and offers<br />
students entering first through<br />
seventh grade an amazing variety<br />
of hands-on learning experiences.<br />
Families from <strong>Holliston</strong> take<br />
advantage of a week-by-week<br />
enrollment or sign up for the full<br />
nine-week summer program. A<br />
one-time $50 fee is assessed for<br />
any new enrollee. Weekly rates<br />
are $225 and shorter stays are<br />
available.<br />
Themes for the five-day programs<br />
include arts or sciencebased<br />
activities and off-campus<br />
trips to local state parks for hiking,<br />
swimming, and organized<br />
sports.<br />
On-campus treats include a<br />
bounce house, petting zoo, and<br />
visits from a magician and storyteller.<br />
The summer culminates<br />
in a circus-type event to which all<br />
students’ families are invited.<br />

13 take advantage of the Before<br />
and After School Child Care<br />
program. Children are dropped<br />
at the center at 7 a.m., Monday<br />
through Friday, in order to catch<br />
a bus to their elementary or middle<br />
school. “With morning care,”<br />
McGrath added, “we help set<br />
the tone for the child’s day. We<br />
send each child off with a smile<br />
on their face. It can turn around<br />
their whole day.”<br />
Bright, cozy, colorful classrooms provide the perfect environment for<br />
preschoolers to learn developmentally-age appropriate concepts.<br />

After school care begins at<br />
3:30 p.m. and involves time for<br />
youngsters to eat a snack, do<br />
homework, and enjoy the stateof-the-art<br />
playgrounds. The center<br />
closes at 6 p.m.<br />

What’s Been Going on with <strong>Holliston</strong> in Bloom?<br />
America in Bloom Judges Coming 3 rd Week in <strong>July</strong>, Cleanup Planned<br />
A new pollinator garden was<br />
created at the Robert Adams<br />
Middle School on Community<br />
Service Day. Students cleared<br />
the area of the existing clumps<br />
of hosta and weeds earlier in the<br />
day. After school, RAMS teacher<br />
Mrs. Brook Doire with her Green<br />
Team students, and <strong>Holliston</strong> in<br />
Bloom member Cherry Fenton<br />
planted over 20 perennials including<br />
rudbeckia, sedum, salvia,<br />
butterfly bush, butterfly weed,<br />
coneflower, coreopsis and several<br />
types of annuals for summer and<br />
fall blooms that would attract<br />
pollinators. All the plants and<br />
bags of compost were donated by<br />
Ahronian Landscaping. The garden<br />
is located in a recessed nook<br />
that is open to the sky just to the<br />
right of the entrance when facing<br />
the school. Mrs. Doire and<br />
her students are excited to have<br />
participated in the selection of<br />
the plants and installing the new<br />
garden and have committed to<br />
caring for the plants even when<br />
school is not in session.<br />
The Senior Center planting<br />
(Phase 1) was completed on Saturday,<br />
June 11 and Sunday, June<br />
12 by two teams of <strong>Holliston</strong> in<br />
Bloom committee members and<br />
friends from the community.<br />
The Senior Center is undergoing<br />
a major transformation in<br />
<strong>July</strong> with more parking spaces<br />
and a sidewalk getting added. It<br />
had minimal plantings along its<br />
foundation previously. The entire<br />
side of the building closest to<br />
the parking lot as well as one side<br />
of the rear entrance was prepped<br />
and planted with shrubs, perennials<br />
and annuals. Also,<br />
the sign at the front entrance<br />
was weeded and<br />

A Unique Venue<br />
in Metrowest<br />
AFM organizers are delighted<br />
that Ashland residents<br />
and those from surrounding<br />
communities have responded<br />
so well to their theme-based<br />
programs, which now attract<br />
weekly crowds of more than<br />
1,350 visitors.<br />
The market success is based<br />
on a number of factors. There<br />
is strong community and business<br />
support and sponsorship,<br />
which helps the market in its<br />
commitment to keep prices<br />
low. New businesses continue<br />
to come on board, which help<br />
augment the types of fun and<br />
educational activities the organizers<br />
can make available.<br />
Adult and teen volunteers assist<br />
vendors with break down and<br />
set up on market days.<br />
There is plenty of free parking<br />
on Front Street, in the adjacent<br />
municipal lot, nearby at<br />
town hall on Main Street, and<br />
at the Mindess School on Concord<br />
Street.<br />
Visitors who want to support<br />
the market might consider<br />
purchasing a gift certificate for<br />
someone special. Gift certificates<br />
may be purchased at the<br />

Solid vs. Engineered Wood Flooring<br />
There are two types of hardwood<br />
flooring: solid and engineered.<br />
Both of them are made<br />
of 100% wood. Both of them<br />
come pre-finished (with a factory<br />
applied finish), both can also be<br />
sanded and refinished on-site.<br />
From this point there are differences<br />
between the two. The<br />
following will define those differences,<br />
which will help you decide<br />
which product is better for your<br />
project.<br />
Solid vs. Engineered<br />
Wood Flooring<br />
Solid: Solid hardwood flooring<br />
comes as a ¾” thick piece of<br />
solid wood, either with a smooth,<br />
unfinished surface which can be<br />
finished on-site, or a factory applied,<br />
pre-finished surface. Solid<br />
hardwood can be installed on<br />
or above grade, but not on a<br />
slab. It is normally nailed into<br />
the plywood sub-floor. Because<br />
solid hardwood is a full piece of<br />
wood, it is going to react to moisture<br />
and humidity like any wood:<br />
it will expand when exposed<br />
to moisture and it will shrink<br />
when exposed to dry surroundings.<br />
Therefore, if you live in an<br />
area where the humidity tends to<br />
be extreme one way or the other,<br />
solid hardwood will likely not<br />
perform well.<br />

Further, with wider plank<br />
(4”-8”) styles, gaps from shrinking<br />
will be larger (the wider the<br />
plank, the wider the gap) than<br />
with the thinner planks (2.25”<br />
-3.25”) which are more stable as<br />
a result.<br />
Other things to consider with<br />
solid hardwood: if the floor is<br />
being finished on-site, it is difficult<br />
to show an exact match of<br />
what the finish will look like because<br />
the actual flooring being<br />
finished will be impossible to<br />
sample. However, if the flooring<br />
is pre-finished, samples are available<br />
that show the finish as it<br />

will appear. Also,<br />
on-site finishing<br />
commonly encompasses<br />
several<br />
coats (at least three)<br />
of oil-based polyurethane.<br />
We recommend<br />
the homeowner vacates<br />
the premises (or at least<br />
closes off the area if that<br />
is possible) during this process,<br />
to avoid the smell. Each<br />
coat takes overnight to dry before<br />
the next coat is applied, plus a<br />
day or two for the entire finish to<br />
cure, so plan on being out of the<br />
house for at least 5 days for the<br />

polyurethane finish is also available<br />
for an upcharge, without the<br />
smell. Oil-based polyurethane<br />
will slightly yellow over time,<br />
water-based will not.<br />
Solid hardwood floors can<br />
be sanded and refinished many<br />
times.<br />
Engineered: Engineered<br />
hardwood flooring is a real wood<br />
floor manufactured using several<br />
layers of wood veneers (composite<br />
material), topped with a layer<br />
of quality wood that can be finished<br />
2-3 times, depending on<br />
the thickness of the wear layer.<br />

sulting in a much more stable<br />
product: it will expand and contract<br />
much less than solid hardwood.<br />
Engineered flooring can<br />
be nailed or glued to a subfloor<br />
or to a concrete slab. It can also<br />
be “floated” depending on manufacturer’s<br />
specifications. So, it<br />
can be used on, above or below<br />
grade. Engineered flooring<br />
is almost always prefinished,<br />
so the<br />
variables and<br />
conditions to<br />
consider with<br />
floor refinishing<br />
don’t apply<br />
until it is time to<br />
sand and refinish the engineered<br />
floor.<br />
It’s as simple as that. This<br />
simple guide should help you<br />
to choose between solid vs.<br />
engineered hardwood flooring.<br />
Either way, wood floors are<br />
a beautiful choice and will add<br />
warmth and texture to any room<br />
in the house!<br />

to Videotape Events,<br />
Classes, or Activities at<br />
the Center?<br />
We have an exciting opportunity<br />
before us to help inform the<br />
community about goings-on at<br />
the Senior Center, but we need<br />
a volunteer – or several – interested<br />
in learning how to use the<br />
HCAT remote camera.<br />
Once a volunteer is trained<br />
(a very simple process that can<br />
be arranged at a mutually convenient<br />
time), the camera can<br />
be checked out from the HCAT<br />
studios and used to record events,<br />
classes, or activities at the Center,<br />
for interviewing staff or volunteers,<br />
and for general information<br />
about the Center. Once<br />
taped, the segment can be used<br />
by HCAT for broadcast purposes.<br />
Anybody with an interest in<br />
learning about use of a video<br />
camera, photography interest or<br />
experience, or wanting to learn a<br />
new skill would be ideal for this<br />
opportunity. The time commitment<br />
is whatever you want to<br />
make of it. To learn more or<br />
express your interest, please see<br />

Get Fired Up for Grilling Safety<br />
State Fire Marshal Offers Outdoor Grilling Safety Tips<br />
“This summer barbecue season,”<br />
said State Fire Marshal<br />
Peter J. Ostroskey, “Take a few<br />
minutes for safety and inspect<br />
grills for leaks and cracks, and<br />
teach children to stay three feet<br />
away from any grill in use.”<br />
Check for Leaks<br />
“Check to make sure all the<br />
connections are tight and secure<br />
before firing up the gas grill for<br />
the first time this season,” said<br />
Fire Marshal Ostroskey. “Using<br />
a brush, apply a soapy solution<br />
made of one part dish liquid and<br />
one part water to the tank connection.<br />
If the solution bubbles,<br />
you have a leak that needs repair,”<br />
said Ostroskey. He recommended<br />
checking for and<br />
replacing any cracked hoses.<br />
Safety First<br />
• Read and follow the owner’s<br />
manual.<br />
• Always grill outdoors.<br />
• Place grills away from the<br />
house and deck railings (about<br />
ten feet). Make sure they are<br />
not under eaves, overhanging<br />
branches or against the side of<br />
the building.<br />
• A gas or charcoal grill should<br />
not be used on any porch or<br />
balcony. Electric grills that have<br />
no open flame may be used.<br />
• Gas grills can be used on first<br />
floor open decks or patios if<br />
there is an exterior stairway to<br />
the ground, or it is at ground<br />
level.<br />
• Grills should never be used indoors<br />
or on fire escapes.<br />
• Keep children and pets three<br />
feet away from the grill area.<br />
Create a circle of safety.<br />
• Never leave a grill burning unattended.<br />
• Keep the grill clean by removing<br />
grease or fat build-up from<br />
the grills and trays below the<br />
grill.<br />
• If you smell gas while cooking,<br />
immediately get away from the<br />
grill and call the fire department.<br />
Do not move the grill.<br />
• If the flame goes out, turn the<br />
grill and gas off and wait 15<br />
minutes before relighting.<br />
• Never use gasoline on any grill!<br />

Place Grills Away from<br />
Buildings<br />
Ostroskey said, “Place grills<br />
well away from the exterior of<br />
the house to keep any grill fire<br />
from also igniting a building.<br />
Last year, many of the grill fires<br />
started when the grill was placed<br />
right up against an exterior wall.”<br />
Marshal Ostroskey also said,<br />
“Practice safety around charcoal<br />
grills.” Once the coals have been<br />
lit, never add lighter fluid to the<br />
fire – flames may travel up the<br />
stream of lighter fluid resulting<br />
in serious burns. Charcoal briquettes<br />
give off carbon monoxide,<br />
a colorless, odorless gas that<br />
can be deadly. “Make sure to always<br />
use charcoal grills outside in<br />
a well-ventilated area,” he added,<br />
“Let the coals cool completely<br />
before disposing in a metal container.”<br />

Living Healthy<br />
Summer Free Lunch Program Kicks Off in Milford<br />
Collaborative Project with Milford Area Humanitarian<br />
Coalition, Milford Public Schools Food Services and<br />
Hockomock Area YMCA Open to All Kids<br />
The Milford Area Humanitarian<br />
Coalition is presenting<br />
the Milford Summer Food Service<br />
Program, sponsored by the<br />
Hockomock Area YMCA in collaboration<br />
with the Milford Public<br />
Schools Food Services team.<br />
The program begins on Thursday,<br />
June 23rd and will end on<br />
Tuesday, August 30th.<br />
The program is being offered<br />
at three locations in Milford, MA<br />
including Memorial Elementary<br />
School located at 12 Walnut<br />
Street; The Milford Youth Center<br />
located at 24 Pearl Street; and<br />
the Trinity Episcopal Church located<br />
at 17 Congress Street.<br />
The Summer Food Service<br />
Program in Milford will be<br />
serving nutritious lunches for<br />
all children who would like to<br />
participate (ages 18 and under)<br />
Monday through Friday between<br />
11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Participants<br />
must remain onsite while<br />
eating and enjoying the meal.<br />
Each site will also offer fun, interactive<br />
activities after the lunch<br />
each weekday. This program is<br />
free and open to all. No advanced<br />
sign-up or paperwork required.<br />
In addition to the free lunch, an<br />
afternoon snack is available at<br />
the Milford Youth Center from 3<br />
p.m. to 3:30 p.m. each week day.<br />
“We are proud that our Y is a<br />
place where community comes<br />
together to make a difference<br />
when we engage in initiatives<br />
like the Milford Summer Food<br />
Service Program,” said Ed Hurley,<br />
president of the Hockomock<br />
Area YMCA. “Our partnership<br />
with the Milford Area Humanitarian<br />
Coalition and the Milford<br />
Public Schools will positively impact<br />
hundreds of Milford children<br />
and families. Collectively<br />
we are working to ensure that<br />
more kids have the nourishment<br />
they need to grow and thrive this<br />
summer.”<br />
A pilot program was launched<br />
last summer in Milford by the<br />
Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition<br />
(MAHC). The program<br />
served 2,200 meals to children<br />
over the course of the summer.<br />
“Last summer’s lunch program<br />
was a huge success. We used private<br />
funding to test out the pilot<br />
program. The good news is that<br />
every child who comes to one of<br />
the three lunch sites will be fed<br />
each week day this summer. We<br />
anticipate 300 to 500 kids a day.<br />
The bad news is that there are<br />
over 1,400 children in the Milford<br />
school system who depend<br />
on the school for their meals<br />
(reduced price and free) over the<br />
course of the school year. Let’s<br />
make sure that no child goes to<br />
bed hungry this summer,” said<br />
Rev. William MacDonald Murray,<br />
who is also the rector at Trinity<br />
Episcopal Church and leads<br />
the Milford Area Humanitarian<br />
Coalition.<br />
Kevin McIntyre, incoming<br />
Superintendent of Milford Public<br />
Schools said, “We are very<br />
excited to partner with the Milford<br />
Area Humanitarian Coalition<br />
and the Hockomock Area<br />
YMCA for the Summer Food<br />
Service Program. This supports a<br />
clear need in the community and<br />
will provide meals to our students<br />
throughout the summer. I look<br />
forward to this being an annual<br />
partnership because of the vital<br />
need this fills when school is out<br />
of session.”<br />

be a program volunteer, email<br />
mealprograms@hockymca.org.<br />
Information can also be found on<br />
Facebook (Milford Summer Food<br />
Service Program) and Twitter (@<br />
Milford_SFSP). As well as on the<br />
website: hockymca.org.<br />
Meals will be provided to all<br />
children without charge and are<br />
the same for all children regardless<br />
of race, color, national origin,<br />
sex, age or ability, and there<br />
will be no discrimination in the<br />
course of the meal service.<br />

About the Collaboration<br />
between Y-USA and<br />
the Walmart Foundation:<br />
Since 2011, the Walmart<br />
Foundation and Y-USA have<br />
been working collaboratively to<br />
alleviate food insecurity among<br />
low-income and vulnerable children,<br />
teach healthy eating habits<br />
to children and their families,<br />
and align food programs with national<br />
HEPA standards adopted<br />
though Y Out of School Time<br />
programs. This partnership resulted<br />
in almost 20 million meals<br />
served to hundreds of thousands<br />
of youth in Y summer and after<br />
school meal programs across the<br />
nation. Walmart’s support of<br />
the Y’s Year Round Food Programs<br />
created a broad array<br />
of impactful programs to lower<br />
food insecurity and establish safe<br />
places where children and their<br />
families can develop healthy eating<br />
practices.<br />

Mercy by Bryan Stevenson on<br />
Thursday, <strong>July</strong> 7 at 6:30 p.m.<br />
and Monday, <strong>July</strong> 11 at 11 a.m.<br />
As a young lawyer, Bryan Stevenson<br />
founded the Equal Justice<br />
Initiative, a legal practice<br />
dedicated to defending those<br />
most desperate and in need.<br />
One of his first cases was that<br />
of Walter McMillian, a young<br />
man who was sentenced to die<br />
for a murder he insisted he did<br />
not commit. As Stevenson investigated<br />
McMillian’s case he<br />
found a conspiracy which would<br />
shake his belief in justice. Participants<br />
are asked to read the<br />
selected book and attend a discussion,<br />
either adding their own<br />
thoughts or listening. Readers<br />
may attend as many sessions as<br />
they like and books are available<br />
to borrow with a library<br />
card about a month prior to the<br />
discussions. Refreshments are<br />
courtesy of the Friends of the<br />
Library. Membership is free<br />
and everyone is welcome. Registration<br />
is not necessary. Both<br />
groups meet on the lower level<br />
of the library. Future selections<br />
include Us, by David Nichols<br />
and The Grapes of Wrath, by John<br />
Steinbeck.<br />
The <strong>Holliston</strong> Public Library’s<br />
history book club will<br />
meet on Tuesday, <strong>July</strong> 19 at 6:30<br />
p.m. to discuss Dead Wake: The<br />
Last Crossing of the Lusitania ,by<br />
Eric Larson. The history book<br />
club is free, open to everyone<br />
and welcomes new members.<br />
It is led by Mary Miley. Participants<br />
are asked to read the<br />
selected book, which can be<br />
borrowed from the library at no<br />
charge, and attend a discussion.<br />
Readers may bring their own<br />
ideas and questions or simply sit<br />
and listen. Copies of the books<br />
are available about one month<br />
before each meeting at the main<br />
desk. The group meets monthly<br />
in the Gilman Room on the<br />
lower level and readers may attend<br />
as many sessions as they<br />
choose.<br />
Adult coloring is now offered<br />
twice per month at the <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
Public Library on the first<br />
and third Wednesdays of each<br />
month at 12 noon until 1:30 pm<br />
and from 6:30 until 8 p.m. A<br />
variety of coloring pages, gel<br />
pens and colored pencils are<br />
provided along with soothing<br />
music and beverages. Adult<br />
coloring has become a national<br />
phenomenon and a popular way<br />
to cut stress and have fun. The<br />
group is limited to ages 13 and<br />
older and is free. It meets in the<br />
meeting room on the lower level<br />
of the library<br />
The <strong>Holliston</strong> Public Library<br />

Does the Sun<br />
Cure Acne?<br />
By Lisa Massimiano,<br />
Licensed Esthetician,<br />
Certified Acne Specialist<br />
Owner Skin Smart Salon<br />
Many acne sufferers believe<br />
baking in the sun cures their<br />
acne. Although, sun exposure<br />
can have the desirable effect of<br />
causing skin to dry out and peel,<br />
it also damages the follicles, exacerbates<br />
hyperpigmentation<br />
(dark spots), and causes skin cancer<br />
and premature aging of the<br />
skin. In fact, heat and humidity<br />
often make acne worse. Here are<br />
some tips on how to protect acne<br />
prone skin from the sun.<br />
Use the right sunscreen.<br />
Many acne sufferers shy away<br />
from using sunscreen because<br />
they think it will make their acne<br />
worse. I always advise my acne<br />
clients to use a mineral sunscreen.<br />
Mineral sunscreen does<br />
not contain any irritating chemicals.<br />
It is made up of zinc and or<br />
titanium oxide and protects the<br />
skin by physically blocking the<br />
UV rays. Zinc and titanium do<br />
not clog pores and are soothing<br />
on the skin, perfect for acne and<br />
rosacea prone skin.<br />
Don’t skimp when<br />
applying sunscreen.<br />
Most people don’t apply<br />
enough sunscreen to get the protection<br />
indicated on the label.<br />
Apply a generous coat to cover<br />
the skin evenly. And, don’t forget<br />
to reapply if you sweat a lot during<br />
the day or go swimming.<br />
Put your watch away.<br />
UV rays in the early morning<br />
and late afternoon are just<br />
as damaging as sun exposure<br />
between 10 a.m, and 4 p.m. So,<br />
be sure to apply sunscreen before<br />
early morning or late afternoon<br />
activities.<br />
Think outside the beach.<br />
Everyday exposure can contribute<br />
more to sun damage than<br />
the occasional burn you get at the<br />
beach. Make applying sunscreen<br />
part of your daily, morning skin<br />
care routine like shaving or applying<br />
makeup. Once it becomes<br />
a habit you will never forget.<br />

I went to Skin Smart a little over a year ago as my last ditch effort to<br />
treat my acne. I had tried almost every acne treatment out there and<br />
was still struggling. When I went to Skin Smart my acne was at the<br />
worst it had ever been. I was a little reluctant that anything was going<br />
to help but within a few months I started seeing improvements.<br />
A year later and my skin has neverlooked so good! I am so grateful<br />

Fire Officials Urge the Public to<br />
Leave the Fireworks to the Professional<br />
Last Fourth of <strong>July</strong> weekend,<br />
two members of the National<br />
Football League demonstrated<br />
just how dangerous fireworks<br />
can be. Tampa Bay Buccaneers<br />
cornerback C. J. Wilson was<br />
forced to retire from a promising<br />
football career after losing<br />
two fingers from fireworks on<br />
the Fourth of <strong>July</strong> weekend.<br />
That same weekend, Giants<br />
defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul<br />
mangled his hand with fireworks.<br />
Both of these national<br />
athletes set a negative example<br />
for impressionable youth.<br />
Closer to home, on <strong>July</strong> 4, 2015,<br />
the Saugus Fire Department<br />
was called to 7 Oak Point Road<br />
for a hand injury to a 23-year<br />
old man. The man was lighting<br />
off commercial and consumer<br />
grade fireworks in his<br />
backyard. An explosion injured<br />
his hand and he lost multiple<br />
fingers. He was med-flighted<br />
to Massachusetts General Hospital<br />
for surgery. A large cache<br />
of fireworks were discovered<br />
in a bedroom at the residence.<br />
State Fire Marshal Peter J.<br />
Ostroskey said, “This year,<br />
set a good example for your<br />
children and leave the fireworks<br />
to the professionals<br />
this Fourth of <strong>July</strong> holiday.”<br />
On <strong>July</strong> 5, 2015, a 9-year old<br />
boy from Boston received burns<br />
to 15% of his body surface area<br />
and lost one of his hands when<br />
the fireworks he was holding exploded<br />
in his hand. His 5-year<br />
old male friend was also injured.<br />
Ostroskey said, “Children imitate<br />
adults. If you use fireworks,<br />
children will copy you, not realizing<br />
how very dangerous<br />
fireworks are.” Fifty-one percent<br />
of fireworks-related burn<br />
injuries reported by hospitals<br />
to the Office of the State Fire<br />
Marshal in the last 10 years<br />
(2006-2015) were to children<br />
under age 18. More than a<br />
FIREWOOD<br />
508-380-8717<br />
Full Cord, and<br />
Cord-and-a-Half<br />
loads, delivered to<br />
Metrowest towns.<br />
quarter of the victims, (26%),<br />
were children under age 10.<br />
4th of <strong>July</strong> No Holiday for<br />
Firefighters Wellesley Fire<br />
Chief Rick DeLorie, president<br />
of the Fire Chiefs’ Association<br />
of Massachusetts, said, “The<br />
Fourth of <strong>July</strong> holiday is a busy<br />
time for firefighters making sure<br />
the professional displays are conducted<br />
properly and are safe for<br />
the public; we’re busy responding<br />
to all types of fires and medical<br />
emergencies,” said Chief<br />
DeLorie. “In fact, the week of<br />
<strong>July</strong> 4 is one of the busiest times<br />
of the year for fires,” he added.<br />
Nearly 800 Major Fires &<br />
Explosions from Fireworks<br />
In the past decade (2006-2015)<br />
there have been 775 major fire<br />
and explosion incidents involving<br />
illegal fireworks reported to<br />
the Massachusetts Fire Incident<br />
Reporting System (MFIRS).<br />
These 775 fires and explosions<br />
caused 11 civilian injuries, four<br />
fire service injuries, and an estimated<br />
dollar loss of $1.8 million.<br />
This is quite a substantial<br />
amount since most fireworks related<br />
fires are outside brush fires<br />
and do not usually have high<br />
loss figures.<br />
On January 1, 2015 at 7:58<br />
p.m., the Westfield Fire Department<br />
was called to a 1-acre grass<br />
fire in a farmer’s field. The fire<br />
was started by fireworks. Crews<br />
were on scene for one hour.<br />
On May 22, 2015, at 3:36<br />
p.m., the Huntington Fire Department<br />
was called to a 3-acre<br />
brush fire started by fireworks.<br />
Firefighters were on scene for<br />
over three hours.<br />
On June 27, 2015, at 6:11<br />
p.m., the Brewster Fire Department<br />
was called to a 2- acre grass<br />
fire on Crosby Lane. The fire was<br />
started by fireworks. It took companies<br />
almost an hour and a half<br />
to extinguish the fire.<br />
A majority of fireworks fires<br />
and injuries occurred during<br />
the week of the Fourth of <strong>July</strong><br />
holiday.<br />
On <strong>July</strong> 4, 2015, a 48-year old<br />
Boylston man received burns to<br />
his legs from fireworks at an (illegal)<br />
show at Lake Hiawatha in<br />
Blackstone, MA. Empty mortarstyle<br />
fireworks boxes were tossed<br />
into a bonfire after they were<br />
used. An unexploded one ignited<br />
and struck him in his legs.<br />
On <strong>July</strong> 4, 2015, at 11:27<br />
p.m., the Brockton Fire Department<br />
responded to a fire in a<br />
pick-up truck that was started by<br />
fireworks. The owner had been<br />
setting off fireworks in his driveway.<br />
He waited approximately<br />
15 minutes for them to cool off<br />
and put all of the debris in the<br />
bed of his truck that had a plastic<br />
bed liner. About an hour later<br />
a passerby notified him that his<br />
truck was on fire.<br />
All Fireworks Are Illegal in<br />
Massachusetts The possession<br />
and use of all fireworks by private<br />
citizens is illegal in Massachusetts.<br />
This includes Class C fireworks<br />
which are sometimes falsely<br />
called “safe and sane fireworks.<br />
Class C fireworks include sparklers,<br />
party poppers, snappers,<br />
firecrackers, spinners, cherry<br />
bombs and more. Sparklers burn<br />
at 1800ºF. It is illegal to transport<br />
fireworks into Massachusetts,<br />
even if they were purchased legally<br />
elsewhere. Illegal fireworks<br />
can be confiscated on the spot.<br />
Over the 2015 Fourth of <strong>July</strong><br />
weekend, the Dennis Fire<br />
Department in conjunction<br />
with the Dennis Police Department<br />
confiscated large<br />
quantities of fireworks from<br />
several locations within Dennis.<br />
The estimated value of<br />
all the confiscated fireworks<br />
was between $7,000 - $8,000.<br />

Tri Valley League Celebrating Its 50 th Birthday<br />
Millis, Medway, <strong>Holliston</strong> Original Members<br />
Sports<br />
By Ken Hamwey<br />
Happy Birthday to the Tri<br />
Valley League as it celebrates<br />
turning 50!<br />
The league, which was formalized<br />
in 1966, underwent<br />
some changes in its infancy, but<br />
has evolved into one of the most<br />
respected conferences in Massachusetts.<br />
Its history and the<br />
way all the pieces of the puzzle<br />
meshed is a tribute to the high<br />
school principals who decided<br />
to form the league and the man<br />
who served as its commissioner<br />
for 23 years — Alfred “Hap’’<br />
Mazukina.<br />
Mazukina, now 92 and living<br />
in retirement in East Dennis,<br />
resided in Medfield during his<br />
days as the league’s first commissioner.<br />
His primary employment<br />
was as a guidance counselor at<br />
Wellesley High, but his devotion<br />
to the league is what made it an<br />
immediate success. “I offered<br />
many recommendations to the<br />
principals over the years, and I’m<br />
proud of how well the league has<br />
done,’’ he said. “The coaches,<br />
players and athletic directors<br />
have played such a positive role.’’<br />
Most of the schools that joined<br />
the TVL 50 years ago were playing<br />
independent schedules. The<br />
circuit began with 12 members<br />
— six schools formed an Eastern<br />
Division and six more comprised<br />
the Western Division. The<br />
six Eastern schools were Millis,<br />
Medway, Medfield, Dover-Sherborn,<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> and Hopkinton.<br />
The six from the West included<br />
Bellingham, Norton, Hopedale,<br />
Nipmuc, Norfolk Agricultural<br />
and Blackstone (merger with<br />
Millville came in 1967).<br />
Only seven of the original<br />
dozen schools played football.<br />
They were Millis, Medway, Medfield,<br />
Dover-Sherborn, <strong>Holliston</strong>,<br />
Hopkinton and Norton. Bellingham<br />
started its varsity program a<br />
year later in 1967.<br />
The only boys sports that Mazukina<br />
scheduled in 1966 were<br />
football, basketball, baseball, outdoor<br />
track and tennis. Eventually,<br />
new sports for boys were added<br />
and they included ice hockey,<br />
Matt Baker, left, is the <strong>Holliston</strong> High athletic director, and his father<br />
Dennis, right, was the athletic director at Bellingham High for 15 years.<br />
Matt starred for Ashland in three sports in the Tri Valley League and<br />
Dennis, who also excelled in three sports at Ashland, coached and<br />
refereed in the TVL.<br />
soccer, lacrosse, indoor track<br />
and wrestling. When the TVL<br />
was formed, no girls sports were<br />
scheduled. But, Title IX began<br />
changing the athletic landscape<br />
at college campuses, and that<br />
move spurred girls sports to become<br />
a fixture in the TVL.<br />
Not everything was smooth<br />
sailing for the TVL in its early<br />
days. Some of the smaller schools<br />
weren’t able to compete with<br />
those with larger enrollments, so<br />
defections started to occur. Norton<br />
left for another league and<br />
the principals welcomed Blackstone<br />
Valley Tech to replace<br />
Norton. Norfolk Agricultural<br />
also left but the formation of the<br />
Dual Valley Conference caused<br />
a major tremor in the TVL.<br />
Hopedale, Nipmuc, Blackstone-<br />
Millville and Valley Tech exited<br />
for the DVC, leaving the TVL<br />
with only seven members. Ashland<br />
and Westwood, however,<br />
wanted out of the Dual County<br />
League (not to be confused with<br />
the Dual Valley Conference) and<br />
that duo gained TVL membership<br />
in the early 1970s. In 2002,<br />
Norton decided to return and<br />
was re-admitted, giving the TVL<br />
its current 10 members.<br />
The 10 schools that currently<br />
comprise the league are Ashland,<br />
Bellingham, Dover-Sherborn,<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong>, Hopkinton, Medfield,<br />
Medway, Millis, Norton and<br />
Westwood.<br />
“The principals had several<br />
suggestions for the league’s<br />
name,’’ Mazukina said. “They<br />
settled on Tri Valley, because<br />
three river valleys were located<br />
in the towns. The Charles River,<br />
Blackstone River and Taunton<br />
River are the trio that led to<br />
naming the league. It was a logical,<br />
geographic decision.’’<br />
During Mazukina’s 23-year<br />
tenure as the league’s chief, his<br />
tasks dealt with scheduling, assigning<br />
officials, administering a<br />
TVL basketball tournament and<br />
cheerleading competitions, and<br />
handling complaints (protests).<br />
When Mazukina left in 1988, he<br />
was replaced by seven different<br />
commissioners. Individual sports<br />
had separate commissioners.<br />
“Hap deserves lots of credit<br />
for the league’s success,’’ said<br />
Dennis Baker, who served as<br />
Bellingham High’s athletic director<br />
for 15 years and played three<br />
sports at Ashland when it was a<br />
Dual County League member.<br />
“He had excellent organizational<br />
skills and knew how to maintain<br />
cohesion within the league. Hap’s<br />
vision on how a league should<br />
operate was superb.’’<br />
Baker’s son, Matt, is now<br />
the A.D. at <strong>Holliston</strong>, and he’s<br />
the youngest athletic director in<br />
the league in terms of service.<br />
He’s now heading into his second<br />
year as the Panthers’ sports<br />
chief. “I feel like everything has<br />
come full circle with me being a<br />
three-sport athlete in the TVL<br />
at Ashland and now working at<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> running the athletic<br />
Alfred “Hap’’ Mazukina was the<br />
first commissioner of the Tri Valley<br />
League when it began in 1966.<br />
He’s 92 years old now and living in<br />
retirement on Cape Cod.<br />
department,’’ he said. “It’s a topnotch<br />
league, as evidenced by the<br />
success our teams have in their<br />
respective state tournaments.<br />
The league has grown since I<br />
was an athlete, and it’s exciting to<br />
see what the future holds. It’s rewarding<br />
to be a former TVL athlete<br />
and now current A.D. and be<br />
able to help shape the future of<br />
this excellent league.’’<br />
Mazukina, who still keeps tabs<br />
on how TVL schools are performing,<br />
admires the way various<br />
programs have dominated a particular<br />
sport. “<strong>Holliston</strong> has done<br />
well in football,’’ he said. “And,<br />
Hopkinton is a power in track<br />
while Medway has been a soccer<br />
power. Westwood had a phenomenal<br />
run in girls basketball and<br />
seems traditionally strong in ice<br />
hockey.’’<br />
Dennis Baker, who’s been a<br />
field hockey referee in the league,<br />
has also coached baseball and<br />
softball in the TVL. An athletic<br />
director in the circuit at two different<br />
junctures, he was the dean<br />
of the league’s A.D.s. Baker gives<br />
the league a pat on the back in its<br />
anniversary year with this comment:<br />
“There’s no doubt that the<br />
TVL is one of the most respected<br />
and admired leagues in the state.<br />
And, it’s still going strong at age<br />
50.’’

<strong>Holliston</strong> Ultimate Frisbee Brings<br />
Momentum to Championship Level<br />
By Christopher Tremblay<br />
After winning both Invitational<br />
Tournaments (Barrington<br />
RI and Natick MA) they entered<br />
this spring and finishing the regular<br />
season with 26 wins and only<br />
3 losses, <strong>Holliston</strong> was hoping<br />
that they could continue their<br />
solid play into the Ultimate Frisbee<br />
State Tournament. Based on<br />
their strong regular season showing<br />
the Panthers earned themselves<br />
a 2 seed in the Division 2<br />
Tournament.<br />
Once in the tournament playing<br />
amongst 23 other Division<br />
2 teams, the Panthers not only<br />
showed they belonged but were<br />
worthy of the number two seed<br />
by capturing the State Championship.<br />
Following their five<br />
games, including two pool wins,<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> Ultimate Frisbee proceeded all the way to the state championship this year. Although they fell<br />
to Somerville, the team once again showed its muscle in a sport that is increasingly competitive. Photo by<br />
Christopher Tremblay.<br />

<strong>Holliston</strong> earned a bye into the<br />
Semi Finals where they would<br />
take on a very talented St Johns<br />
Prep. The two teams battled it<br />
out in the first half with <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
holding a slight 7-6 edge, but<br />
in crunch time the Panthers got<br />
their offense moving and scored<br />
every time they had the disc<br />
while not turning it over leading<br />
to a 12-8 time restricted game.<br />
Having lost to Xaverian twice<br />
during the regular season, <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
was looking for revenge in<br />
the Championship contest, but<br />
unfortunately the number one<br />
seed was upset by Somerville.<br />
<strong>Holliston</strong> would carry its semi<br />
final momentum over into the<br />
championship bout and took out<br />
Somerville 13-3 for the title.<br />
“We would have liked to<br />
squared off again against Xaverian,<br />
but it wasn’t to be,” <strong>Holliston</strong><br />
Coach Chris Levasseur said.<br />
“We knew that Somerville was<br />
going to be a hard game as they<br />
had beaten Xaverian who had<br />
beaten us twice. We wanted to<br />
play a smart game while staying<br />
calm, what I witnessed was probably<br />
one of the best executed<br />
games I have ever seen.”<br />
According to the Panther<br />
Coach, <strong>Holliston</strong> had previously<br />
won the State Championship<br />
in 2008, but since that title<br />
the league has not only grown<br />
considerably, it has gotten more<br />
competitive. Needless to say this<br />
Championship means a lot more<br />
than the last.<br />
Having become one of the<br />
more established programs in<br />
the state, everyone wants to go<br />
up against <strong>Holliston</strong> during the<br />
regular season. Leading the Panthers<br />
throughout the season were<br />
senior captains Teddy Campbell,<br />
a cutter, and Lee Mogren, the<br />
team’s handler. The younger<br />
athletes on the team not only respected<br />
the duo because of their<br />
work ethic, but they also learned<br />
from their mentors’ play.<br />
In addition to their outstanding<br />
captains, <strong>Holliston</strong> had many<br />
talented athletes on its roster; a<br />
group that when they made a<br />
mistake owned it and then went<br />
out to redeem themselves for<br />
such errors.<br />
One such athlete was junior<br />
Peter Georgakopoulos, a cutter<br />
by trade, but can play every position<br />
on the field if needed.<br />
“Peter is an incredible athlete<br />
that blows everyone out of the<br />
water,” Levasseur said. “He is a<br />
great asset to our team; he can<br />
throw and handle and has definitely<br />
earned the respect of the<br />

other teams as well as his teammates.”<br />
Kyle McDevitt, Georgakopoulos<br />
and James Crews were<br />
named the teams captains for<br />
next year. Georgakopoulos was<br />
the team’s MVP; Mogren (Offensive<br />
Player of the Year);<br />
Campbell (Spirit of the Game<br />
Award); Ben Durkee (Defensive<br />
Player of the Year) and Crews<br />
(Rookie of the Year).<br />

Medway Thayer House to Hose A Salute to<br />
Veterans and Armed Forces<br />
Newport Navy Band Northeast to Play Saturday, <strong>July</strong> 30<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
Medway will keep up the tradition<br />
of hosting a summertime military<br />
band concert yet again this<br />
year, when the Medway Lions,<br />
in conjunction with the Thayer<br />
House Committee, host the Newport<br />
Navy Band Northeast on the<br />
lawn of the Thayer House on Saturday,<br />
<strong>July</strong> 30, at 7 p.m.<br />
“For at least 10 years, we’ve<br />
had military bands in Medway,”<br />
says Col. (RET) Michael Matondi,<br />
who has helped arrange<br />
the concerts all these years. “It’s<br />
one of the big events of the year,<br />
where a large population turns<br />
out from surrounding towns and<br />
everything. The attendance is usually<br />
there at the 2,000 mark.”<br />
According to its website, the<br />
Navy Band Northeast, established<br />
in 1974, is based on board<br />
NAVSTA Newport and is one of<br />
11 official U.S. Navy bands worldwide,<br />
providing musical support<br />
for military ceremonies, recruiting,<br />
morale and retention programs,<br />
and community relations.<br />
Under the direction of Lieutenant<br />
Gregory Fritz, this group of 35<br />
professional Navy musicians supports<br />
more than 300 engagements<br />
annually throughout an 11-state<br />
area of responsibility, performing<br />
regularly for high-ranking military<br />
and civilian dignitaries, Navy<br />
Recruiting, public outreach and<br />
awareness efforts, and partnership<br />
in education programs throughout<br />
the Northeast United States.<br />
For questions about the event,<br />
contact Col. Matondi at (508)<br />
