Mendon and Upton Honor Their Mendon Police Building Committee Moving Neighbors Who Gave Their All Ahead By Michelle Sanford Staff Reporter/Columnist Now that the residents of Mendon have supported a $5 million debt exclusion that will build the town a new police station, members of the Police Station Building Committee are already beginning the next steps toward seeing the project through. The plan for the new headquarters is to renovate and expand the former fire station on the Main St. to a 9,200 square foot building for a price tag of approximately $4.9 million. However, because the Main St. structure is deemed historical, Community Preservation Act funding will be utilized to help defray the final costs. As a result of school debt expiring, residents are not expected to see their taxes increase. Approximately a year ago, the Mendon Board of Selectmen voted to form a Police Girl Scout Maya Williamson from Upton Station Building Committee whose members Mendon Girl Scout Troop #12806 march In traditional Memorial Day Troop #64528 reads the poem “In Flanders were charged with investigating locations and in the annual Memorial Day Parade. ceremonies, residents of Mendon and Fields.” Melissa Orff photo. costs associated with building the new police Upton honored members of their Melissa Orff photo. headquarters.

Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850) Papers, ca 1836-1850 Size: 2 Linear inches Acquisition: Materials were purchased from The Goodspeed Book Shop by Clara Endicott Sears BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810-July 19, 1850) was a well known author, lecturer, and Transcendentalist in the Nineteenth Century. She is often called a "bluestocking", because of her feminist beliefs and unconventional life. She was born Sarah Margaret Fuller, the first of nine children of Timothy and Margaret Fuller of Cambridgeport, Massachusetts. Her father was determined to give her a masculine education according to the classical curriculum of the day. The exacting and regimental education began at a very young age and was to take a great toll on her health. But it also gave her abroad knowledge of literature and languages. Following the completion of her formal studies, Margaret gained entrance into the intellectual circles of Cambridge and Harvard. Here she formed lasting friendships with many New England intellectuals. In 1836, Margaret Fuller was hired to teach languages at Bronson Alcott's Temple School. She stayed only a year, but continued her teaching career in Providence Rhode Island at the Greene Street School. In 1839, she returned to Massachusetts and began conducting "Conversations" for society women and others in Boston. At this time, Margaret Fuller also became an integral part of the Transcendentalist Movement. From 1840 to 1842 she edited and contributed to the Transcendentalist journal, The Dial. In 1845, she published her feminist work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century.

Created in 2006 as a statewide initiative to encourage a day of volunteerism, Park Serve Day enables the public to partner with state government in an effort to prepare the Commonwealth’s many state parks and beaches for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Since Park Serve Day began, thousands of individuals have volunteered in an effort to make a difference, such as assisting in cleaning coastlines, clearing trails, picking up litter, planting flowers, and other important tasks. “Our administration is grateful to the thousands of volunteers who will get outside with friends and neighbors to improve state parks throughout the Commonwealth on Park Serve Day,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We look forward to working with local officials on a successful 2019 recreational season.” “We thank the teams of volunteers in state parks across Massachusetts for their dedication and hard work to help get the state park system ready for this year’s season,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito.
