    July 18, 2016 – Second Session Issue July 18, 2016 – Second Session Issu July 20, 2016 – The Dance Night 2k16 Edition Dance Night 2k16 by Robbie Rolfe There could not have been a nicer evening for a very competitive dance night. Special hosts PETE “ME HOW TO DOUGIE” COLE, WILL “MACKERANER” LANE and myself, ROBBIE “ROCK AND ROLFE,” were flown in from all over the world for this spectacular event. Starting the night off were cabin 3. They stepped up on the outside stage, on the top Basketball courts, opposite Wasserman Hall with their song being Flo Rida’s “My House.” It was a brave move for them being the first ones up but they did a really good job with PIERCE MCKENZIE doing a black flip and AARON PELTS doing the worm. They also had some well thought of, homemade props as well to add to their opening routine. Cabin 4 and 5 did “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars and the, ever so popular dance move “The Dab” was featured several times during both cabins performances. Cabin 7 did a special performance which was inspired by our very own Woody! Lucky Canteen Number 81. They danced to Michael Jackson’s “Blame it on the Boogie,” and they did the dance routine that Woody teaches everyone during a game of Musical Chairs that he normally hosts during pre-camp or post- camp. Cabin’s 9 and 15 did the “Harlem Shake.” HUNTER ROBERTS was an expert at performing the dance move called “The Wobble,” CALEB SAKS and JACK SACKS picked ROBBIE YASTROW up and did a backwards flip and ZACH MEYERS did the worm very well too.

    GWS2013 abstracts as of November 21, 2012 • Listed alphabetically by lead author / organizer Monitoring Ecological Changes Following Historic Waterfront Rehabilitation and Wetland Restoration at Saugus Iron Works NHS 5079 In 2008, Saugus Iron Works NHS (MA) completed a combined historic and ecological restoration. The project rehabilitated the culturally significant waterfront, recreated open-water in the historic turning basin, Paper and restored tidal mudflat and brackish wetlands along the Saugus River. The design included a comprehensive planning and environmental compliance strategy, and intensive pre- and post-restoration monitoring. Wetland vegetation, fish community, water quality, tidal regime, benthic invertebrates, and wildlife use will be monitored until 2018. The restored wetland is a low marsh-mud flat dominated by dwarf spikerush and frequented by foraging shorebirds. Fish transitioned from a freshwater to estuarine/brackish community dominated by killifish. Inundation by tidal estuarine water increased and water and sediment quality of the river improved. The restoration successfully removed invasive vegetation from the wetland and provided habitat for native wetland plants and shorebirds. The restoration and monitoring serve as a model for integrated historic and natural resource preservation. Value Project serves as a model for integrated historic and natural resource preservation.

    Representative Robert A. Durand

    Berkshire Woods and Waters: Durand named to Fisheries and Wildlife Board BY GENE C HAGUE, Eagle correspondent Saturday, May 25, 2019 Robert Durand is sworn in as a member of the state's Fisheries and Wildlife Board of Directors by Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, right, as his wife Nancy watches on. Governor Charlie Baker has named Robert A. Durand, president of Durand & Anastas Environmental Strategies, an environmental consulting and lobbying firm, to the Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board. Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito conducted the swearing-in ceremony for the five-year term last Wednesday. State Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli, D-Lenox, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, was one of about 10 Representatives and Senators who attended the swearing in. Smitty said some nice words and reminded everyone of how close Bob was to the late George (Gige) Darey. “I am so pleased and honored to receive this nomination to the board, which has been a part of my life in one way or another for most of my life,” Durand said. “I’m thankful to Gov. Baker and Lt. Gov. Polito for their confidence in me to carry out this vital mission to protect many critical aspects of our natural world, and with it, our quality of life in Massachusetts.” As one of the seven-member board, Durand will represent the Northeast Region, Middlesex and Essex counties, and replaces Fred Winthrop, who resigned from the board last fall. The board has various duties, including writing and overseeing all hunting and fishing regulations, Natural Resources and Endangered Species Act regulations, and is the appointing authority for the director of MassWildlife.
