We are calling it The Armory of Horror. 02145 In addition to the haunted maze, The Armory of Horror will have a family day geared for kids and special activities to celebrate Halloween in a cool and fun place. There will also be a special “lights on” backstage tour that will show folks all the secrets lurking in the shadows and shed light on how a Haunted House is produced! Matthew Martino, a veteran haunted attraction and horror movie producer, leads The Armory of Horror and brings decades of experience to the creation of this show. Matt is a local Somerville resident who has worked at Halloween shows such as Spookyworld, Castle of the Damned and Horrorville. He is excited to bring such a thrilling event to his hometown. The Armory of Horror will open on October 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st and November 1st from 6pm to 10pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for kids. The “lights on” tour is from 2pm to 4pm on October 26th and on a donation basis. Family day is November 1st from noon to 4pm and tickets are $5!

Hundreds of supporters attended an event this past Friday evening at the Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge to celebrate “Respond,” RESPOND- ing to Domestic Violence 40th Anniversary Gala!

There were silent auctions, full bloom live actions, food galore and a packed function room full of energy and excitement. Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone, former Somerville Mayor Gene Brune as well as including some of Somerville’s most distinguished members of society and Somerville’s business community were in attendance.

proceeds raised at the event will go to benefit RESPONDS programs and worthy charitable causes.

RESPOND is New England’s first domestic violence agency and the second oldest in the nation, RESPOND, Inc. is a pioneer in the move- ment to end domestic violence. Its work began in the early 1970s, when four Somerville, Massachusetts women started a grassroots effort to support victims of domestic violence by opening their own homes as safe havens for women fleeing abuse. In 1974, these “founding moth- ers” formed RESPOND. For over 40 years RESPOND has provided life-saving shelter, support services, training and education to more than 100,000 members of the community. Services are free and confidential, and available to all survivors of domestic abuse.

In the early 1970’s there were few protections, no shelters and no one to call. Determination, generosity and tenacity paved the way for us to celebrate 40 years of RESPONDing to Domestic Violence. 16 Tuesday October 28th, 2014 The Somerville News Weekly The Somerville News Weekly Tuesday October 28th, 2014 17

Hair Cuttery Celebrates Salon Opening with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Somerville Photos by William Tauro

New full-service, value-priced salon arrives at Assembly Row. Somerville, MA– Hair Cuttery celebrated the grand opening of its newest salon in Somerville, MA on Tuesday, October 21st with a ribbon cutting ceremony officiated by Mayor Joseph Curtatone. In addition to Mayor Curtatone, Tim O’Malley from the Somerville Chamber of Commerce also participated in the ceremony. The new salon is located at 495 Artisan Way in the Assembly Row shopping plaza. As part of the grand opening festivities, Hair Cuttery team up with the Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS). From September 24th to October 21st, five percent of all proceeds from the new salon were donated to CAAS in recognition of the outstanding work they do for the community. A check for $500.00 was present- ed to David Gribb, Executive Director of CAAS, at the ribbon cutting ceremony. “As we open our newest salon in Somerville at the beautiful new Assembly Row shopping plaza, we are thrilled to be providing jobs and services to people in the Somerville area, said Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. “Our goal is to bring value and style to the entire family through our services and products,” said Ratner. “We are a family-owned business and feel it’s important to serve as a community partner and support local charities and causes that impact our neigh- bors, said Ratner. “We look forward to being an active participant in the Somerville community.” Hair Cuttery has an established legacy of charitable support. For the past 15 years, it has sponsored Share a Haircut, a national charitable campaign aimed at giving free back-to-school haircuts to children in need as well as haircuts for the homeless. Through partnerships with local social service agencies, Hair Cuttery has donated more than 125,000 haircuts in the last year and more than 950,000 haircuts since the program’s inception in 1999. Hair Cuttery salons also support local charities and community causes through cut-a-thons and donations. Hair Cuttery salons offer the full complement of services, including cuts, color, styling, texturizing and waxing services at an affordable price. They also offer an ex- tensive assortment of professional retail products, including Redken, Paul Mitchell, Matrix and TIGI. All locations are open 7 days a week with no appointment neces- sary. Hair Cuttery is the largest family owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, with nearly 900 company-owned and operated locations on the East Coast, in New England and the Midwest. http://www.haircuttery.com Find The Somerville News Weekly at Patsy’s Pastry! 28 Tuesday October 28th, 2014 The Somerville News Weekly The Somerville News Weekly Tuesday October 28th, 2014 29
