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

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

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

Changing the World One Child at a Time
By Deborah Burke Henderson, Contributing Writer
There’s a tangible feeling of
people relating to people when
you walk through the classrooms
at Dream Station, the early childhood learning center located on
Pleasant Street near the Ashland
train station.
“It’s a family atmosphere,”
Michelle McGrath, center director, stated. “It’s important to
us to focus on relationships. We
like having a connection with
our families, and we invest in our
teachers, personally and professionally. Everybody matters.”
Preschool teacher Kelly Marshall experienced this kind of
personal investment firsthand
as she encountered family difficulties. “I don’t know what I’d
do without my Dream Station
family,” Marshall stated. “I love
them.”
The Dream Station opened in
2005. McGrath has served as the
center’s director since 2013.
Twenty-year-old Courtney
Brown, a Holliston resident and
college student, started at the
Dream Station as a seasonal
teacher for the December holidays. “Michelle’s a great boss,”
Brown quipped with a smile, although McGrath readily added,
“I’m more of a supporter.”
Brown’s experience was so meaningful she switched her major to
early childhood education. She
just joined the Dream Station
team, and will fit college classes
around her work schedule.
Another teacher is taking a
month’s leave to travel, and McGrath is happy to accommodate.
“The core team is pretty stable,
because they appreciate being
part of a family community,”
McGrath added.
Awakening Potential
in Each Child
Dream Station teachers focus
on helping youngsters learn selfhelp and social-emotional skills
through individual and group
play. They provide a safe and
engaging environment for young
teens, too.
Bright, cozy, colorful classrooms provide the perfect environment for
preschoolers to learn developmentally-age appropriate concepts.
(Photo/Deborah Burke Henderson)
Sarah Vallee, office manager; Michelle McGrath, director; and Casey
Bishop, school-age coordinator, make up part of the Dream Team
early childhood education team. Dream Station teachers focus on
relationships and individualized education plans to accommodate
students learning at their own pace. (Photo/Deborah Burke Henderson)
“We’re helping to formulate
the foundation of every child’s
life by teaching them the lifelong basics of communication,
respect and confidence,” McGrath added. “As we instill these
qualities in children, they will
grow into productive, self-aware
adults.”
A One-Stop Shop
The learning center houses a
variety of educational interactions for children as young as 6
weeks through 13 years of age.
The Group Care Program
caters to infants, toddlers and
preschoolers, each with a specific, structured track. Children
experience a nurturing environment that enables learning and
creativity through play. A curriculum is designed specifically
so each child learns at his pace.
Summer School Program
June 27th launched the Dream
Station’s popular Summer
School program, which runs
through August 26th and offers
students entering first through
seventh grade an amazing variety of hands-on learning experiences.
Families from Holliston take
advantage of a week-by-week
enrollment or sign up for the full
nine-week summer program. A
one-time $50 fee is assessed for
any new enrollee. Weekly rates
are $225 and shorter stays are
available.
Themes for the five-day programs include arts or sciencebased activities and off-campus
trips to local state parks for hiking, swimming, and organized
sports.
On-campus treats include a
bounce house, petting zoo, and
visits from a magician and storyteller. The summer culminates
in a circus-type event to which all
students’ families are invited.
Before and After
School Care
During the academic year,
parents of youth ages 5 through
13 take advantage of the Before
and After School Child Care
program. Children are dropped
at the center at 7 a.m., Monday
through Friday, in order to catch
a bus to their elementary or middle school. “With morning care,”
McGrath added, “we help set
the tone for the child’s day. We
send each child off with a smile
on their face. It can turn around
their whole day.”
After school care begins at
3:30 p.m. and involves time for
youngsters to eat a snack, do
homework, and enjoy the stateof-the-art playgrounds. The center closes at 6 p.m.
A Successful Team
McGrath, Sarah Vallee and
Casey Bishop complete the
Dream Station administrative
team. They work closely with 26
teachers and five seasonal helpers
who nurture, educate and care
for upwards of 200 youngsters.
All employees are CPR-trained
and First Aid-certified, and the
center undergoes a re-licensing
process every other year, as required by the state.
Currently, McGrath and
Executive Director Maureen
Rosenlund are upgrading the
security system with the addition
of cameras in the lobby area and
outside the building.
The Dream Station is affiliated with Wee Folk Learning in
Bellingham and Early Learning
Center in Grafton, two sister
education centers, also under the
supervision of Rosenlund.

programs, which now attract
weekly crowds of more than
1,350 visitors.
The market success is based
on a number of factors. There
is strong community and business support and sponsorship,
which helps the market in its
commitment to keep prices
low. New businesses continue
to come on board, which help
augment the types of fun and
educational activities the organizers can make available.
Adult and teen volunteers assist
vendors with break down and
set up on market days.
There is plenty of free parking on Front Street, in the adjacent municipal lot, nearby at
town hall on Main Street, and
at the Mindess School on Concord Street.
Visitors who want to support the market might consider
purchasing a gift certificate for
someone special. Gift certificates may be purchased at the
Market Managers’ tent or by
completing a form online for a
gift of any denomination.

Solid vs. Engineered Wood Flooring
There are two types of hardwood flooring: solid and engineered. Both of them are made
of 100% wood. Both of them
come pre-finished (with a factory
applied finish), both can also be
sanded and refinished on-site.
From this point there are differences between the two. The
following will define those differences, which will help you decide
which product is better for your
project.
Solid vs. Engineered
Wood Flooring
Solid: Solid hardwood flooring comes as a ¾” thick piece of
solid wood, either with a smooth,
unfinished surface which can be
finished on-site, or a factory applied, pre-finished surface. Solid
hardwood can be installed on
or above grade, but not on a
slab. It is normally nailed into
the plywood sub-floor. Because
solid hardwood is a full piece of
wood, it is going to react to moisture and humidity like any wood:
it will expand when exposed
to moisture and it will shrink
when exposed to dry surroundings. Therefore, if you live in an
area where the humidity tends to
be extreme one way or the other,
solid hardwood will likely not
perform well.
Further, with wider plank
(4”-8”) styles, gaps from shrinking will be larger (the wider the
plank, the wider the gap) than
with the thinner planks (2.25”
-3.25”) which are more stable as
a result.
Other things to consider with
solid hardwood: if the floor is
being finished on-site, it is difficult to show an exact match of
what the finish will look like because the actual flooring being
finished will be impossible to
sample. However, if the flooring
is pre-finished, samples are available that show the finish as it
will appear. Also,
on-site finishing
commonly encompasses several
coats (at least three)
of oil-based polyurethane. We recommend
the homeowner vacates
the premises (or at least
closes off the area if that
is possible) during this process, to avoid the smell. Each
coat takes overnight to dry before
the next coat is applied, plus a
day or two for the entire finish to
cure, so plan on being out of the
house for at least 5 days for the
finishing process. Water-based
polyurethane finish is also available for an upcharge, without the
smell. Oil-based polyurethane
will slightly yellow over time,
water-based will not.
Solid hardwood floors can
be sanded and refinished many
times.
Engineered: Engineered
hardwood flooring is a real wood
floor manufactured using several
layers of wood veneers (composite material), topped with a layer
of quality wood that can be finished 2-3 times, depending on
the thickness of the wear layer.
The grain of each veneer layer
runs in perpendicular
directions from the
next layer, so the effects of humidity or lack of humidity on
engineered flooring is limited
to each veneer thickness, re-

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

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

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

State Fire Marshal Offers Outdoor Grilling Safety Tips
“Check to make sure all the
connections are tight and secure
before firing up the gas grill for
the first time this season,” said
Fire Marshal Ostroskey. “Using
a brush, apply a soapy solution
made of one part dish liquid and
one part water to the tank connection. If the solution bubbles,
you have a leak that needs repair,” said Ostroskey. He recommended checking for and
replacing any cracked hoses.

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

Coalition.
Kevin McIntyre, incoming
Superintendent of Milford Public Schools said, “We are very
excited to partner with the Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition and the Hockomock Area
YMCA for the Summer Food
Service Program. This supports a
clear need in the community and
will provide meals to our students
throughout the summer. I look
forward to this being an annual
partnership because of the vital
need this fills when school is out

As a young lawyer, Bryan Stevenson founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice
dedicated to defending those
most desperate and in need.
One of his first cases was that
of Walter McMillian, a young
man who was sentenced to die
for a murder he insisted he did
not commit. As Stevenson investigated McMillian’s case he
found a conspiracy which would
shake his belief in justice. Participants are asked to read the
selected book and attend a discussion, either adding their own
thoughts or listening. Readers
may attend as many sessions as

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

Fire Officials Urge the Public to
Leave the Fireworks to the Professional
Last Fourth of July weekend,
two members of the National
Football League demonstrated
just how dangerous fireworks
can be. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
cornerback C. J. Wilson was
forced to retire from a promising football career after losing
two fingers from fireworks on
the Fourth of July weekend.
That same weekend, Giants
defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul
mangled his hand with fireworks. Both of these national
athletes set a negative example for impressionable youth.
Closer to home, on July 4, 2015,
the Saugus Fire Department
was called to 7 Oak Point Road
for a hand injury to a 23-year
old man. The man was lighting off commercial and consumer grade fireworks in his
backyard. An explosion injured
his hand and he lost multiple
fingers. He was med-flighted
to Massachusetts General Hos-
pital for surgery. A large cache
of fireworks were discovered
in a bedroom at the residence.
State Fire Marshal Peter J.
Ostroskey said, “This year,
set a good example for your
children and leave the fireworks to the professionals
this Fourth of July holiday.”
On July 5, 2015, a 9-year old
boy from Boston received burns
to 15% of his body surface area
and lost one of his hands when
the fireworks he was holding exploded in his hand. His 5-year
old male friend was also injured.
Ostroskey said, “Children imitate adults. If you use fireworks,
children will copy you, not realizing how very dangerous
fireworks are.” Fifty-one percent of fireworks-related burn
injuries reported by hospitals
to the Office of the State Fire
Marshal in the last 10 years
(2006-2015) were to children
under age 18. More than a

quarter of the victims, (26%),
were children under age 10.
4th of July No Holiday for
Firefighters Wellesley Fire
Chief Rick DeLorie, president
of the Fire Chiefs’ Association
of Massachusetts, said, “The
Fourth of July holiday is a busy
time for firefighters making sure
the professional displays are conducted properly and are safe for
the public; we’re busy responding to all types of fires and medical emergencies,” said Chief
DeLorie. “In fact, the week of
July 4 is one of the busiest times
of the year for fires,” he added.
Nearly 800 Major Fires &
Explosions from Fireworks
In the past decade (2006-2015)
there have been 775 major fire
and explosion incidents involving illegal fireworks reported to
the Massachusetts Fire Incident
Reporting System (MFIRS).
These 775 fires and explosions
caused 11 civilian injuries, four
fire service injuries, and an estimated dollar loss of $1.8 million. This is quite a substantial
amount since most fireworks related fires are outside brush fires
and do not usually have high
loss figures.
On January 1, 2015 at 7:58
p.m., the Westfield Fire Depart-
ment was called to a 1-acre grass
fire in a farmer’s field. The fire
was started by fireworks. Crews
were on scene for one hour.
On May 22, 2015, at 3:36
p.m., the Huntington Fire Department was called to a 3-acre
brush fire started by fireworks.
Firefighters were on scene for
over three hours.
On June 27, 2015, at 6:11
p.m., the Brewster Fire Department was called to a 2- acre grass
fire on Crosby Lane. The fire was
started by fireworks. It took companies almost an hour and a half
to extinguish the fire.
A majority of fireworks fires
and injuries occurred during
the week of the Fourth of July
holiday.
On July 4, 2015, a 48-year old
Boylston man received burns to
his legs from fireworks at an (illegal) show at Lake Hiawatha in
Blackstone, MA. Empty mortarstyle fireworks boxes were tossed
into a bonfire after they were
used. An unexploded one ignited
and struck him in his legs.
On July 4, 2015, at 11:27
p.m., the Brockton Fire Department responded to a fire in a
pick-up truck that was started by
fireworks. The owner had been
setting off fireworks in his driveway. He waited approximately
15 minutes for them to cool off
and put all of the debris in the
bed of his truck that had a plastic bed liner. About an hour later
a passerby notified him that his
truck was on fire.

and use of all fireworks by private
citizens is illegal in Massachusetts.
This includes Class C fireworks
which are sometimes falsely
called “safe and sane fireworks.
Class C fireworks include sparklers, party poppers, snappers,
firecrackers, spinners, cherry
bombs and more. Sparklers burn
at 1800ºF. It is illegal to transport
fireworks into Massachusetts,
even if they were purchased legally elsewhere. Illegal fireworks
can be confiscated on the spot.
Over the 2015 Fourth of July
weekend, the Dennis Fire
Department in conjunction
with the Dennis Police Department confiscated large
quantities of fireworks from
several locations within Dennis. The estimated value of
all the confiscated fireworks
was between $7,000 - $8,000.
For more information on the
dangers of fireworks, go to the
Department of Fire Services

the Professionals.

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

first commissioner of the Tri Valley
League when it began in 1966.
He’s 92 years old now and living in
retirement on Cape Cod.
department,’’ he said. “It’s a topnotch league, as evidenced by the
success our teams have in their
respective state tournaments.
The league has grown since I
was an athlete, and it’s exciting to
see what the future holds. It’s rewarding to be a former TVL athlete and now current A.D. and be
able to help shape the future of
this excellent league.’’
Mazukina, who still keeps tabs
on how TVL schools are performing, admires the way various
programs have dominated a particular sport. “Holliston has done
well in football,’’ he said. “And,
Hopkinton is a power in track
while Medway has been a soccer
power. Westwood had a phenomenal run in girls basketball and
seems traditionally strong in ice
hockey.’’
Dennis Baker, who’s been a
field hockey referee in the league,
has also coached baseball and
softball in the TVL. An athletic
director in the circuit at two different junctures, he was the dean
of the league’s A.D.s. Baker gives
the league a pat on the back in its
anniversary year with this comment: “There’s no doubt that the
TVL is one of the most respected
and admired leagues in the state.
And, it’s still going strong at age
50.’’

Holliston Ultimate Frisbee Brings
Momentum to Championship Level
By Christopher Tremblay
After winning both Invitational Tournaments (Barrington
RI and Natick MA) they entered
this spring and finishing the regular season with 26 wins and only
3 losses, Holliston was hoping
that they could continue their
solid play into the Ultimate Frisbee State Tournament. Based on
their strong regular season showing the Panthers earned themselves a 2 seed in the Division 2
Tournament.
Once in the tournament playing amongst 23 other Division
2 teams, the Panthers not only
showed they belonged but were
worthy of the number two seed
by capturing the State Championship. Following their five
games, including two pool wins,
Holliston earned a bye into the
Semi Finals where they would
take on a very talented St Johns
Prep. The two teams battled it
out in the first half with Holliston holding a slight 7-6 edge, but
in crunch time the Panthers got
their offense moving and scored
every time they had the disc
while not turning it over leading
to a 12-8 time restricted game.
Having lost to Xaverian twice
during the regular season, Holliston was looking for revenge in
the Championship contest, but
unfortunately the number one
seed was upset by Somerville.
Holliston would carry its semi
final momentum over into the
championship bout and took out
Somerville 13-3 for the title.
“We would have liked to
squared off again against Xave-

rian, but it wasn’t to be,” Holliston Coach Chris Levasseur said.
“We knew that Somerville was
going to be a hard game as they
had beaten Xaverian who had
beaten us twice. We wanted to
play a smart game while staying
calm, what I witnessed was probably one of the best executed
games I have ever seen.”
According to the Panther
Coach, Holliston had previously won the State Championship in 2008, but since that title
the league has not only grown
considerably, it has gotten more
competitive. Needless to say this
Championship means a lot more
than the last.
Having become one of the
more established programs in
the state, everyone wants to go
up against Holliston during the
regular season. Leading the Panthers throughout the season were
senior captains Teddy Campbell,
a cutter, and Lee Mogren, the
team’s handler. The younger
athletes on the team not only respected the duo because of their
work ethic, but they also learned
from their mentors’ play.
In addition to their outstanding captains, Holliston had many
talented athletes on its roster; a
group that when they made a
mistake owned it and then went
out to redeem themselves for
such errors.
One such athlete was junior
Peter Georgakopoulos, a cutter
by trade, but can play every position on the field if needed.
“Peter is an incredible athlete
that blows everyone out of the
water,” Levasseur said. “He is a
great asset to our team; he can
throw and handle and has definitely earned the respect of the
other teams as well as his teammates.”
Kyle McDevitt, Georgakopoulos and James Crews were
named the teams captains for
next year. Georgakopoulos was
the team’s MVP; Mogren (Offensive Player of the Year);
Campbell (Spirit of the Game
Award); Ben Durkee (Defensive
Player of the Year) and Crews
(Rookie of the Year).

Medway Thayer House to Hose A Salute to
Veterans and Armed Forces
Newport Navy Band Northeast to Play Saturday, July 30
By J.D. O’Gara
Medway will keep up the tradition of hosting a summertime military band concert yet again this
year, when the Medway Lions,
in conjunction with the Thayer
House Committee, host the Newport Navy Band Northeast on the
lawn of the Thayer House on Saturday, July 30, at 7 p.m.
“For at least 10 years, we’ve
had military bands in Medway,”
says Col. (RET) Michael Matondi, who has helped arrange
the concerts all these years. “It’s
one of the big events of the year,
where a large population turns
out from surrounding towns and
everything. The attendance is usually there at the 2,000 mark.”
According to its website, the
Navy Band Northeast, established in 1974, is based on board
NAVSTA Newport and is one of
11 official U.S. Navy bands world-
wide, providing musical support
for military ceremonies, recruiting, morale and retention programs, and community relations.
Under the direction of Lieutenant
Gregory Fritz, this group of 35
professional Navy musicians supports more than 300 engagements
annually throughout an 11-state
area of responsibility, performing
regularly for high-ranking military and civilian dignitaries, Navy
Recruiting, public outreach and
awareness efforts, and partnership
in education programs throughout the Northeast United States.
For questions about the event,
contact Col. Matondi at (508)
533-8400.
To learn more about Navy
Band Northeast, visit www.cnic.
navy.mil.
Tentatively, in case of rain, the
concert will be held at the Medway High School auditorium.
