A <strong>Millis</strong> team was among<br />

honored for their creative<br />

YouTube videos as part of<br />

the 11th annual statewide You-<br />

Tube TM Burn Awareness Video<br />

Contest. State Fire Marshal Peter<br />

J. Ostroskey was joined by contest<br />

co-sponsors Ron Meehan from<br />

the Mass. Property Insurance Underwriting<br />

Association (MPIUA)<br />

and Capt. Rick Tustin, president<br />

of the Mass. Association of Safety<br />

and Fire Educators (MaSAFE),<br />

Saugus Fire Chief Michael C.<br />

Newbury of the Fire Chiefs’ Association<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> received an honorable<br />

mention for its entry, “Safety<br />

Huddle,” from students Adriana<br />

Arguijo, Tyler Gelasco, Peter<br />

Sanchioni, Zach Whooten, and<br />

Cody Rossi, who tell the story<br />

teamwork in fire prevention<br />

through the lens of how a football<br />

team operates. This is a fun<br />

riff on Herb Brooks’ motivational<br />

speech to the 1980 Olympic<br />

hockey team. And their final<br />

message – Fire Safety is a Team<br />

Effort was something the judges<br />

appreciated. The filming enhanced<br />

the story, lending to the<br />

seriousness of what was trying to<br />

be accomplished. Teamwork and<br />

fire prevention are what is important<br />

in fire safety. Their teacher is<br />

Charles River Watershed Association’s<br />

mission is to use science,<br />

advocacy and the law to<br />

protect, preserve and enhance<br />

the Charles River and its watershed.<br />

One of our country’s<br />

first watershed organizations,<br />

CRWA formed in 1965 in response<br />

to public concern about<br />

the declining condition of the<br />

Charles River. Since its earliest<br />

days of advocacy, CRWA has<br />

figured prominently in major<br />

clean-up and watershed protection<br />

efforts that have dramatically<br />

improved the health of the<br />

Charles. Because of CRWA’s<br />

efforts in the last 50 years, the<br />

Charles is considered the cleanest<br />

urban river in the United<br />

States by the U.S. E.P.A.<br />
