Westborough Recreation gears up for summer fun By Sue Wambolt Contributing Writer

Recreation Department will be taking measures to utilize Lake Chauncy. The beach will be open two hours later until 7 p.m. and will feature kayak, stand-up and paddle rentals along with some “on the water” classes. In order to make the beach more of a recreation area, Grady is working to get volleyball nets and a snack shack added to the property. Additionally, the recreation

said Grady. “I think there is a stigma that people think recreation and they automatically assume children’s activities. We’re really trying to add family programs into the mix. We have begun adult programs and many Pre-K programs which have proven to be very popular.” With summer right around the corner, Grady said that the

department has joined forces with the library and will be offering the first ever Lake Chauncy movie night with “Finding Nemo” as the premiere movie. “We’re really excited about Lake Chauncy and the changes we have in store,” said Grady. “It’s a great resource we have for the residents of Westborough.” This summer the Recreation Department will continue to offer its popular programs for children, including sports clinics, nature discovery, playground programs and horseback riding. Their Extreme Recreation Program will also feature two field trips per week this year. “We’re excited for local kids to get outside and enjoy nature with some hikes and visits to our state parks,” Grady said. “We are once again offering women-only golf and boot camp on the common as well, both popular programs in the past.” The recreation staff has revamped the spring and summer brochure this year and looks forward to getting the entire family involved. “Frank DeSiata created and ran a great recreation department for 36 years and we have come in and just tried to keep that going,” Grady noted. “If we see an opportunity to add a new activity, we’ll give it a shot! Our full-time staff has done a great job engaging and speaking to our recreation participants, but we always encourage contacting us if you have a great program idea you’d like to see!” For more information on summer programs or to view the Westborough Summer Recreation brochure online, visit www.westbororec.com/ info/default.aspx.

Grafton equestrian Lindsay Sage competes in national competition By Douglas Maxwell Myer Contributing Writer Grafton – Grafton High School freshman Lindsay Sage has turned her passion for horseback riding into a chance to compete at the national level. The Grafton resident has been a member of the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) for the past several years and has competed in many horse shows during that time. Recently, Lindsay made it through several sets of finals to qualify for the IEA Nationals held in Wellington, Fla., April 24-26. Lindsay said she first dreamed of riding horses in second grade. After constantly begging her parents to try the sport, Lindsay’s mother finally allowed her to sign up for her first lesson. She loved the experience, continued with practicing, and soon began taking part in horse shows. She also shares her passion for riding with younger kids, teaching them to ride horses during the summer. In sixth grade, Lindsay went to the Hillside Meadows Barn in Grafton to be taught by instructor Sheila Dunham. It was Dunham who first introduced Lindsay to the IEA and she has been competing in their shows ever since. In the IEA’s show circuit, equestrians demonstrate their abilities in front of judges who give them a score based on certain criteria such as jumping over obstacles or riding within a flat arena. Each of the riders have to canter, trot, walk and keep a particular form in order to receive high marks. A challenge of IEA competitions is that the equestrians do not ride their own horses - they are selected randomly.

With no warm up, the rider must mount a horse that they are not familiar with and perform the tasks that judges ask them to do. Lindsay usually practices twice a week. To prepare for a show, she goes over her course of techniques and keeps any corrections in mind that were brought up in lessons before being assigned a horse. “I have to show off the skills I have to the judges because you never know what the horse that you draw will be PHOTOS/SUBMITTED

like,� Lindsay said, adding that she performs at her best when she’s able to buckle down and fully focus with the horse. It took a lot of time and work for Lindsay to be where she is this year. She had to attend several shows and earn at least 15 points to qualify for the first set of finals. At IEA regionals she was ranked third out of 32 and then advanced to Zone Finals. Although Lindsay said she didn’t have any expectations of going far in the competition, she was awarded first place out of the 16 competitors. At the IEA Nationals,

Lindsay placed fourth place overall in her class – “Junior Varsity Novice Equitation on the Flat� - making her fourth in her class in the nation. “I love the rush of being on a huge and majestic animal and having a connection with them,� Lindsay noted. “For seven years I have endured this unique and fascinating sport. It will always have a special place in my heart.� Lindsay wants to continue riding throughout high school, college, and maybe even beyond. To find out more about the IEA, visit www.rideiea.org.

Fort Meadow Reservoir offers visitors a fun summer destination By Douglas Maxwell Myer Contributing Writer Marlborough/Hudson – During the summer months, local residents or visitors to Central Massachusetts driving through Marlborough and Hudson should stop by Fort Meadow Reservoir. This small, tranquil body of water stretches out to a little over 300 acres ranges in depths up to 20 to 25 feet. The reservoir mostly lies in northern Marlborough but the northeastern territory belongs to Hudson’s southern boundaries. In the past, Fort Meadow was used for some of Boston’s drinking water in the mid-1800s, but today it is now a lake. The site’s World War II Memorial Beach in Marlborough and Centennial Beach in Hudson are perfect destinations for a relaxing visit. Memorial Beach is located on Hosmer Street, off of Route 20. There’s a big parking lot and a basketball court. During the spring the best way to get to the water is by entering through the handicap parking lot on Lakeshore Drive.

But in the summer, visitors can use the front entrance by crossing a small bridge with a little stream running under it. A playground is along the route which continues up the windy hilly road to the beach. Memorial Beach has spacious room to walk around and there are many picnic tables to sit at on top of the hill. Beautiful scenery surrounds, with the water and quaint homes nestled along the shores of

the reservoir. A concession stand can also be found at this location but it is only available during the busy summer when all of the swimmers enjoy the beach and water with lifeguard supervision. The World War II Memorial Beach is open every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. When driving to Centennial Beach, Reservoir Street, which is off of Route 85, goes through the southwestern portion of Fort Meadow for a fabulous view of the water on either side of the road. Once turning onto Fort Meadow Drive, neighborhood streets are named after famous lakes which include Ontario, Erie, Champlain and Cayuga Drive. The entrance to Centennial Beach is on the right and the parking lot is open from June 7 through Aug. 23. This beach

has more room to walk around and there are also many trees set throughout the area that can provide some shade. A small swimming dock is also there for people to jump off of during the summer season. Centennial Beach is an easy walking distance to Memorial Beach through a set of trails in the woods, over a wooden bridge to Lakeshore Drive. From June 6 to June 21 and Aug. 17-22, the beach is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. From June 22 to Aug. 16, the beach is open weekdays 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and weekends and holidays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. At both beaches the summers can be busy, while the spring season is more quiet and isolated with occasional groups of visitors walking through the area.

Southborough native shares research on elusive wolverines By Douglas Maxwell Myer Contributing Writer

PHOTO/SUBMITTED

Southborough – Wildlife biologist Rebecca Watters, a Southborough native and graduate of Algonquin Regional High School, came back to her hometown April 16 to give a presentation about her experience and studies on wolverines at the Southborough Community House. Watters currently lives in Bozeman, Mont., and goes on yearly expeditions to the northern Mongolian mountains where she conducts extensive research on these rare animals. Wolverines are an elusive species, according to Watters, and it has proven to be a difficult task for researchers to fully comprehend their traits and lifestyle. Their habitats lie in cold secluded regions and they depend on the deep spring snow to build their dens. Watters explained that wolverines are members of the weasel family, with the ability to disperse up to 500 miles and defend territories up to

500 square miles. Although these mammals generally weigh up to 30 pounds they have the tenacity to hunt and kill a full-grown moose, making them one of the toughest animals in North America. Watters received a bachelor’s degree in anthropology

at Saint Lawrence University, served in the Peace Corps for two and half years in Mongolia, and attended graduate school for environmental science at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. While doing her master’s research on wolves in

the Greater Yellowstone, one of Watters’ contacts invited her on a wolverine field expedition. She was intrigued and agreed to hike high up in the Absaroka Mountains. “The first night out, a wolverine came into our camp, which in and of itself was astonishing,” said Watters. “There are wolverine biologists who work on the species for decades and never see one in the wild.” The wolverine ended up spending over 10 minutes in the campsite. It was a combination of that experience, being in the elevated snowy wilderness, and the fact that these species are poorly understood and hard to study that inspired Watters to take on the challenge of researching wolverines. Watters found out that there was an unstudied population within Mongolia and in April of 2013, National Geographic sponsored a five-person expedition to the country’s mountains. In the course of 23 days, Watters and her companions trekked approximately 230

miles in an ecosystem that proved to have many challenges, including frozen lakes and snow that was well above their waists. Despite the hardships the team was able to locate 28 sets of wolverine tracks, collected 33 samples of DNA, and found remains of elk and birds that were eaten by wolverines. One of the challenges this species currently faces is the increasing temperatures, melting the snow that wolverines depend on. Wolverines have a low reproductive rate, giving birth to only one or two kits every other year, and have been nominated for the endangered species list several times. Watters strives to spread knowledge and preser ve the lives of these creatures. “The next generation of biologists have a big task ahead of them with … the rising climate change,” Watters noted. “It’s also important for people to appreciate the outdoors and species that are a part of it.” For more information, visit The Wolverine Foundation at wolverinefoundation.org.

By Nance Ebert Contributing Writer Westborough - The Westborough Community Land Trust (WCLT) is a nonprofit organization trust that was established in 1997 with several goals and initiatives in mind. One of the most important things it does is to preserve and protect open space for present and future generations. This private, membersupported trust is run with the help of volunteers, members and partners, including the Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition, Sudbury Valley Trustees, the Organization for the Assabet River, Trailwrights, New England Mountain Bike Association, New England Forestry Foundation, MassWildlife, MassParks, the Department of Conservation and Recreation Division of Water Supply Protection and Westborough Newcomers Club. WCLT is also a member of the Land Trust Alliance. “As the president of the organization, I theoretically run it but because it is structured as committees, that is where the real work happens,” explained Scott Shumway. “These committees include Education, Membership, Land Preservation, Stewardship and Finance.” There are over 500 individual members of the WCLT, as confirmed by Maureen Johnson of the Membership Committee. This past year

there was a hugely successful membership drive, she said, which brought in 72 new members. Members help protect more than 170 acres of land and 45 miles of trails. Many WCLT programs are free and open to the general public throughout the year, such as the Earth Day cleanup. Volunteers collected 150 bags of trash at this year’s event. “Bruce Tretter is our Earth Day cleanup coordinator,” Shumway explained. “He has been doing this job for a long time. He spends the year cycling around Westborough listing areas in need of cleaning up. These areas are tackled by groups of volunteers on this day.” Events such as “Meet the Raptors: Massachusetts Birds of Prey” held at the Knights of Columbus Hall March 28 are also organized by the WCLT. Naturalist Tom Ricardi was the guest presenter, introducing his audience of 250 attendees to eagles, falcons, vultures, hawks, owls and other birds. The WCLT also sponsors Eagle Scout projects, Girl Scout Silver Award projects and was recently contacted by Mayer Tree Service to assist with a service project on Arbor Day. “They ended up cutting us a new trail in Orchard Swamp, which is between Route 9 and Haskell Street,” Shumway said. “A Girl Scout troop will be planting a wildflower gar-

den on the shores of Gilmore Pond, which is one of our properties.” Upcoming events include a program with Dan Jaffe of the New England Wildflower Society called “Knowing Our Wild Edibles: Finding, Growing, Eating” Sunday, May 31. On Saturday, June 6, there will be a National Trails Day hike. On Monday, June 15, at the WCLT annual meeting, there will be a presentation by Shawn Carey, a nature photographer and videographer, at St. Luke’s Parish. His film titled “Epic Journeys” is about bird migration from New England to South America. “I guarantee that this will be the best photography you have ever seen,” said Shumway. When he is not involved in WCLT projects, Shumway works as a professor of biology at Wheaton College where he currently holds the Jennings Chair in the Natural Sciences. He teaches courses in Botany, marine biology, environmental science and tropical ecology. He is also the author of “The Naturalist’s Guide to the Atlantic Seashore.” He shared two of his favorite properties - the Libby Conservation Area, which is owned by Westborough and the Wile Forest, which is managed by the New England Forestry Foundation and preserved through forestry.

Shrewsbury - As school begins to wind down for the year, Terry Cassidy and the staff at Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services (SYFS) are gearing up for a summer full of programs - both old and new - for the families of Shrewsbury. Among the new programs offered this year by SYFS is “Full STEAM Ahead.â€? Designed for girls ages 11 to 14, the program intends to help girls strengthen skills such as assertiveness, self-esteem and self-confidence while enjoying science, technology, engineering and math (STEAM). â€œWe hope to inspire girls that feel intimidated by these disciplines,â€? said Cassidy. “The program will be tremendously fun.â€? A second new program made possible by a grant from the Rotary Club of Shrewsbury, is a six-week parent support group for parents of infants to 5-year-olds. “We know parents face many issues during these criti-

self-esteem and self-confidence in middle school girls, SYFS has partnered with the Shrewsbury Public Schools to offer “You Go, Girl” as part of their summer enrichment programs. Activities will include team building, fun challenges, health promotions, stress reduction, goal setting, defying obstacles, resisting peer pressure, media messages, leadership and inspiring guest speakers. The program, which was offered as a four-week half-day program in the past will be offered weekly as a full-day program this summer. “The ‘You Go, Girl’ program gives girls an opportunity to safely talk about issues that impact them as they enter adolescence,” Cassidy said. “In the past, the girls who have participated in this program have made long-lasting friendships.” Returning this summer will be T.R.A.I.L.Blazers (Teen Resources Academy and Institute for Leadership), an intensive weeklong leadership institute for high school students. At the star t of the T.R.A.I.L.Blazers program, all the participants take a personality test that reveals their preferred work style. They are then paired up in groups with

individuals who have very different work styles - mimicking real life and on-the-job situations. The young leaders take turns leading their group through interesting and entertaining projects and activities. To be successful, they have to figure out how to get everyone working together. Some of the activities mirror pop culture favorites like the “Amazing Race.” “I truly enjoy being involved in T.R.A.I.L.Blazers and getting to know all of the participants,” said Cassidy. “It is energizing to be part of a program that is so much fun while teaching valuable lifelong skills. Over the course of one week we can literally see our participants become much more confident. By the end of the week they are presenting to a large audience of about 60 to 100 people.” From “Full STEAM Ahead” to “You Go, Girl” to T.R.A.I.L.Blazers and much more, SYFS offers summer fun for everyone. “Our SYFS programs are fun and educational,” Cassidy said. “There are also many wonderful enrichment programs being offered by the middle schools.” For more information on SYFS and the summer programs, visit syfs-ma.org.

gentlest bee around. Find one resting on a flower on a cool morning, and you just might be able to gently stroke its back. In early spring large bumblebee queens buzz around the forest floor looking for an abandoned mouse nest in which to start their colony. Smaller bumble bees seen later on are the colony’s workers. Old queens and workers die off in fall, while young queens hibernate over winter to continue the cycle. Native bees are struggling because development is reducing their habitat, and because many commonly-used pesticides are harmful to them. PHOTO/GAIL TRENHOLM

While some animals pollinate flowers (bats are especially important in tropical and desert systems), many plants rely on insect pollinators, especially bees. Though the European honey bee is most familiar, native bees are abundant and efficient pollinators. Their hairy bodies transport pollen well, and unlike honeybees, native bees pollinate crops like tomatoes, blueberries, and watermelons even during cool, wet weather. Native bees include the fuzzy, gentle bumble bees and the bright green sweat bees. North America has an amazing 4,000 kinds of native bees which are mostly solitary. With no hives to defend, native bees are much less likely to sting unless, of

course, they are stepped on or slapped. Nest-building bees are named for the type of structure they create - mason bees, resin bees, miner bees, woolcarders, and leafcutters. Cuckoo bees don’t build nests at all, but slip their eggs into nests of other bees. Bumble bees are the only native bees that live in colonies, and there are 50 different kinds. Native bees build nests in dirt tunnels, hollow stems, decaying wood, and cracks in walls, depending on the species. Each egg cell is supplied with a ball of pollen and nectar, capped off with a bit of material that the bee gathers or makes. When nest sites are plentiful, bees may settle near one another, similar to people with waterfront homes. Native bees spend much of their life hidden away, hatching into larva, pupating, and hibernating through the winter. Being active for only about

Here are some important ways you can help the bees. Plant a pollinator garden. Choose plants that flower at different times, to provide pollen and nectar throughout the season. Plant in clumps, and use native plants when possible. Provide nest sites. Short logs or untreated wood blocks drilled with pencil-size holes, clusters of hollow reeds, and a patch of bare ground create a luxury resort for native bees. Limit or avoid pesticides. Remove bugs by hand, welcome natural predators like dragonflies and praying mantids, and accept a few holes. If you must use a pesticide, choose one that is least-toxic to non-pest species, does not persist on vegetation, and apply it during the evening when pollinators are less active. For more information on native bees, visit massaudubon.org, xerces.org, bugguide. net, and other websites about native pollinators. To see a bee hotel, visit Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, 414 Massasoit Rd. in Worcester.

Clinton - On May 2, the Museum of Russian Icons opened a new exhibition entitled Byzantium to Russia: Origins and Development of Russian Icons, 1200 to 1900. This exceptional, compelling selection of 48 icons and extraordinary artifacts from the British Museum traces the stylistic development of sacred art from ancient Byzantium, center of Christian civilization, to the introduction of Christianity to Russia. The exhibition of rare icons will also include Byzantine cast metal objects, ivories and engraved gems. This is the first time the renowned British Museum in London has lent Saint John the Baptist (Constantinople c. 1300) and the famous Saint George and the Dragon (Pskov, late 14th century) to a museum in the U.S.A. These extraordinarily rare icons alone—two of the oldest and finest icons in existence—are worth a visit to the exhibit. In addition to the icons and artifacts from the British Museum, the exhibition will be augmented with related icons from the collection of the Museum of Russian Icons. In the compelling painting of Saint John, the subject gazes directly at the viewer. Despite his long wild hair and straggly beard he projects a sense of wisdom and serenity. He is identified by a Greek inscription in red - on the left side of the halo: ‘St. John’ and on the right side: ‘o Prodromos’ (‘the Forerunner’). He holds a scroll in his left hand and raises his right in blessing. The icon of Saint George and the Dragon was discovered in 1959 in the tiny village

Saint John the Baptist (Constantinople c. 1300)

of Pskov in northwestern Russia. The panel was being used as the shutter of a barn window. Subsequent cleaning by conservators revealed that it had been painted over several times. Below an eighteenthcentury folk painting they uncovered a seventeenth-century layer and finally this outstanding fourteenth-century icon, which was immediately recognized as an early masterpiece of Russian painting. The saint is painted in vigorous motion, reining in his leaping horse. The representation of St. George on a black, rather than white horse is extremely rare, which accounts for the icon’s popular name “the Black George”. He is shown with a halo, and a red cloak billowing behind. He raises himself in his stirrups and spears the serpent-like dragon in the mouth. The concept of the exhibition was initiated by English icon expert Sir Richard Temple Bt., who founded the Temple Gallery in London in 1959 as a center for the study, restoration and exhibition of ancient icons and sacred art. He is a member of the Ad-

visory Panel of the Art Fund (formerly the National Art Collections Fund of Great Britain) and has been active in the acquisition of icons by several major museums, among them the British Museum, the Musée du Louvre in Paris and the Museum of the Church of the Holy Redeemer in Moscow. Temple—along with HRH Prince Charles—has been encouraging the British Museum to exhibit its collection of icons that are mostly in storage out of public view. The Origins and Development of Russian Icons was organized by the Museum of Russian Icons and curated by Museum Founder Gordon B. Lankton, Research Fellow Prof. Raoul Smith and Museum CEO and Curator Kent Russell. The exhibit runs through September 12, 2015. Following the exhibition in Clinton, Mass. the show will travel to the Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, Va. The Museum of Russian Icons collection of more than 1000 Russian icons and artifacts is the largest of its kind in North America, and one of the largest private collections outside Russia. Spanning six centuries, the compendium includes important historical paintings dating from the earliest periods of icon “writing” to the present. The Museum was founded in 2006 as a nonprofit educational institution by Massachusetts industrialist and art collector Gordon B. Lankton. The Museum of Russian Icons is located at 203 Union St., Clinton. For more information visit museumofrussianicons.org.

Hudson Rotarians’ ‘duck race’ to help community for 25th year By Ed Karvoski Jr. Contributing Writer

FILE PHOTO/ED KARVOSKI JR.

Hudson – The Hudson Rotary Club is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Lucky Duck Race to benefit its scholarship fund and community service programs. This year, some of the proceeds will go toward creating a memorial for Hudson’s favorite son, Argeo Paul Cellucci, former Massachusetts governor and ambassador to Canada. The Lucky Duck Race will take place Saturday, June 6, in conjunction with the Assabet Valley Chamber of Commerce’s (AVCC) 29th annual Hudson Community Fest, noted Justin Provencher, the Rotary Club’s publicity chair. “It adds an exciting atmosphere to the festival for kids to see the decorated corporate ducks that are sponsored by local businesses,� he said. “And they enjoy watching the ducks getting dropped off the bridge and coming down the river.� Numbered rubber ducks are dumped from the Washington Street Bridge into the Assabet River. Ducks float to the finish line at the Broad Street Bridge. Ticket buyers of the five fastest ducks win $1,500, $1,000, $500, $150 and $50. Last year, a record-breaking 2,952 tickets were sold. Tickets are available for $5 each or three for $10 at the AVCC office in Hudson, Knight’s Fuel, Lemire Insurance, Sullivan Optometry, Tuck’s Service Center, and at the club’s festival booth. The Corporate Duck Race features 15-inch decoys for a $60 donation. Winners in recent years have received gift cards to area eateries, Provencher noted. “Businesses have the op-

tor. After a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), he launched the UMass ALS Champion Fund in 2011. ALS took his life at age 65 in 2013 and his renamed campaign continues as the UMass ALS Cellucci Fund. A walkway leading to the memorial will be constructed with a limited number of inscribed bricks, which can be purchased by Hudson residents and business owners

for $75 each. For information, contact Dinner at Wright Jewelry or Dr. Garrett Sullivan at Sullivan Optometry. Provencher added, “The memorial will be a nice addition in front of the Town Hall, where people can reflect on all the great work Paul gave to our community.� Follow the Hudson Rotary Club on Facebook at facebook.com/HudsonRotaryClub.

tions to decorate the duck or have a school student decorate it for them, or they can race the duck down the river,� he explained. Part of the proceeds will go toward scholarships for graduates of Hudson and Assabet Valley Regional Technical high schools. The club also decided to help fund a Cellucci memorial with proceeds from the Lucky Duck Race, and the Taste of Hudson Food & Brewfest cohosted by the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley. About 1,800 guests attended last year. The third annual event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15, at the Avidia Bank parking lot on South Street. “We’ve been very fortunate raising money with our activities, so we can pay for this project to honor Paul Cellucci,� Provencher said. Discussions among towns-

people and elected officials for the most appropriate way to memorialize Cellucci began over a year ago. A consideration has been a parklet on the Church Street side of the Hudson Town Hall lawn. Rotarians are making that concept come to fruition. “Lee Dinner, a Hudson Rotarian, spearheaded putting the idea in place,� Provencher said. Also helping to prepare the project are architect Glenn Davis and Charles J. Precourt & Son, Inc. The memorial will include a granite patio with two benches. An inscription on the benches will read in part, “His life was dedicated to the principle of public service and the people of Hudson were forever in his heart.� Prior to serving as governor, Cellucci’s political career began as a Hudson selectman, state representative and sena-
