BY AMANDA COLLINS STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER Continuing his endeavor to col- lect 200,000 pairs of shoes for the needy, the “shoe man” is issuing a challenge to local schools before they break for summer. The “Shoe Week Challenge,” a push running June 10 to 14, will pit area districts against each other in a friendly competition to see which schools can collect the most footwear for the Feet Need Shoes project in just five days. The win- ner will get a personal visit from the shoe man himself, Alexander Diaz, who will present the district with a donation on behalf of his Auburn UPS Store, and personally load up the shoes and haul them away. Since January, Diaz has collect- ed more than 21,000 pairs of shoes through his Feet Need Shoes cam- paign, a drive that benefits the global nonprofit Soles4Souls, which distributes new and used shoes to disadvantaged people worldwide, including victims of Alexander Diaz keeps a track of his shoe collection with last week’s tornado in Moore, posters and Post-Its that line a wall inside his Auburn UPS Store.

CHARLTON — As State Sen. Stephen Brewer remarked, Memorial Day is “a history les- son.” Not only did several speakers Monday,May 27, make the references to past wars and fall- en soldiers commonly heard during such commemorations, Charlton’s Memorial Day parade included veterans garbed to represent the nation’s major con- flict eras: the Revolution, Civil War (both sides), World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Mille Eastern wars. Although he didn’t detail the bloodshed, Brewer urged people to read upon “the abject horror of what war is” and visit Arlington National Cemetery’s 300,000 graves by themselves, not as part of a tour. Those comments came while the senator referred to the “citizen sol- diers” who fought America’s wars as the basis of freedom, noting Memorial Day “is more about them than it is about generals.” One was Billy Knight, killed in action in Korea, but only recently identified by genetic testing and returned to Oakham for burial. State Rep. Peter Durant cited a dif- ferent Democrat while urging resi- dents to “make [veterans’] legacy a living, dynamic quest.” Quoting President Bill Clinton, he said, “There is nothing wrong in America that can’t be fixed by what Sheila Daniels brings the honorary wreath to the Civil War is right in America.” Monument.

MASONIC HOME VETERANS HONORED IN SPECIAL MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE

BY MARK ASHTON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER CHARLTON — The theme was how to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. The place was the Masonic Nursing Home, and the event was a special Memorial Day program, held Wednesday, May 22, to honor more than two dozen veterans residing in the nursing home, along with an estimated one million American veterans lost since the Revolutionary War. “Memorial Day is not a glorifi- cation of war,” Selectmen Vice Chairman Kathleen Walker told those in attendance. “It’s a time to remember … and to give thanks.” She said it was also a time to honor those who “died for a dream – a still unrealized dream – of liberty and justice for all.” Those sentiments were echoed Keith Krewson, Past Commander of Charlton American Legion Post 391, served Mark Ashton photos frequently during the hour-long as emcee for the Memorial Day ceremonies at the Overlook. The Fifth-Grade Chorus from Charlton Middle School sings the National Anthem for ceremonies, which included Masonic Home residents and veterans at Memorial Day ceremonies on Wednesday, talks, presentations, poems, May 22. prayers, and music provided by members of the Charlton Middle School’s Fifth-Grade Chorus under the direction of Karen Potter. Keith Krewson, a Past Commander of Charlton American Legion Post 391, served as emcee for the program. Following an invocation by the Rev. Dr. John Lindsay asking for “grateful hearts,” the middle- schoolers sang the National Anthem and led attendees in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Krewson explained to the youngsters the difference between Memorial Day (“Decoration Day when I was growing up”) and Veterans Day. He asked for support of those around the world now serving in American Legion members and veterans took part in the program. harm’s way and for appreciation of the “tremendous sacrifice” of those who have died – that “they A Legion member approaches Masonic Home veterans to thank them for their mil- shall not have died in vain.” itary service. Sewell Frank and Armand Richards placed a wreath at the podium remembering the career – and death – of Gen. Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War hero best remembered for send- ing Paul Revere on his historic nighttime ride on April 18, 1775. Masonic Home Activities Director Stephanie Nikopoulos read – by service branch – the names of 25 veterans residing in the nursing home, and pianist Peggy Krewson played, by mem- ory, the theme songs for each branch.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER UPTON — Even during what head coach Shaune Ducharme has called a “midseason lull,” the Shepherd Hill baseball team con- tinues to impress. The Rams defeated Nipmuc, 5-0, on May 22 to improve to 15-2 and win their 12th straight game. “We’ve been playing lax lately, [but] today was a good turn- around. We played good defense and the bats were there,” Ducharme said after The Hill beat the Warriors on Nipmuc’s home field, although it was considered a home game for the Rams since it was scheduled to be played in Dudley but the field was too damp to have a game. Shepherd Hill’s bats have been strong all season and it started early against Nipmuc. In the bot- tom of the second inning Al Augustine clubbed a three-run homer to give the Rams a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Shepherd Hill plated another in the bottom of the third on a Tyler Faille RBI double and one more in the fifth on a Brady Ravenelle RBI double to account for their five runs. From there it was all Adam Nick Ethier photos Darling on the mound and the Shepherd Hill’s Al Augustine fires toward first base after making a nice play at defense behind him.
