NORTHBRIDGE — The Read Around the Town programs took kids to the Whitin Community Center, Monday, July 15. Kids lined the bleachers in the center’s gymnasium for a story before taking off the various areas in the WCC to have some free fun. Some chose to play a game of friendly basketball, while others enjoyed cooling off the competition pool. Next week’s Read Around the Town event will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, July 22, at UniBank on Church Street.

Thomas and Sophia Robbins cooling off in the pool. Brooklyn Barsanti gets a little help going for a slam-dunk.

Two-year-old Florissa Lundquist would rather sit than shoot. Isaiah Thelemarque, 2, ready to take a shot. Kids get tickets to enter for a prize from the library.

BY GUS STEEVES STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — For 12 years, Maysha Peckham, of Lawrence, has been doing most of the things everyday Americans do, including raising her kids and work- ing toward a nursing degree. But, as a native of Uruguay,she couldn’t vote. On Independence Day, Thursday, July 4, in the blazing heat at Old Sturbridge Village, that changed. She finally got to say she’s an American citizen, alongside nearly 100 other people from 44 countries. The citizens recognized reside Acton, Agawam, Amherst, Andover, Burlington, Chicopee, Clinton, Dunstable, Fitchburg, Great Barrington, Greenfield, Hinsdale, Holden, Holyoke, Hudson, Lawrence, Leicester, Leominster, Longmeadow, Ludlow, Marlborough, Methuen, Millbury, North Reading, Pittsfield, Reading, Rowley, Shrewsbury, Springfield, Sturbridge, West Springfield, Westfield, Westford, Williamstown, and Worcester.

The two had just led the Pledge of Allegiance as part of the ceremony and hailed from Cameroon and India, respectively. Farther back in the crowd sat Jorge Castro, of Peru, a student at Williams College who has been here five years. “I moved to the United States without any hopes for my future, but through edu- cation, I’ve stumbled through the doors of opportunity and it showed me the light for my future,” he said before things start- ed. “Becoming a citizen is a special way to give back.” Castro, whose parents brought him here at age 14, is studying chemistry and geo-science, hoping to “improve how the big oil companies treat the ocean.” He said he’s particularly happy about how Americans view education as a “powerful Maysha Peckham shows off her naturalization cer- tool,” noting, “If everyone in America tificate. were educated, our democracy will work.” When asked what he saw as the biggest Members of OSV’s militia regiment prepare to march off the common at the ceremony’s end. similarity and difference between the U.S. and Peru, he cited the fact “big companies dominate both countries” for the former but that the U.S. has a greater variety of cultures and ideas. That variety gave Federal District Judge Henry Boroff, who presided over the ceremony, much of the inspiration for his remarks. His own family were immi- grants; his parents came from Poland after surviving Nazi concentration camps in World War II. When they came, he said, they believed four key things – “they’d be safe from oppression, they could raise a family free of oppression, their children would have opportunity and one could even possibly become a judge, and the streets were lined with gold. Well, three of the four were true.” Boroff described the participants’ 44 countries of origin, which included Iran, Britain, Kazakhstan, Fiji, Ghana and the former Yugoslavia, as “a wonderful vari- ety of cultures and countries.” He urged the new citizens to uphold their oath of allegiance, but that “does not mean you should abandon your culture or tradi- Will Contino reads the full text of the Declaration One of the participants holds a little piece of tions.

To Peckham, the country has made many strides and “equality has been accomplished in many ways.” She said she’d like to see the U.S. become “the safest place,” but always maintain its practice of “keeping open the doors to everybody.” Peter Stefanik, an Andover resident, didn’t have has big a transition as Castro, Peckham or many of the others present.

‘Wizard of Oz ” to be performed at VMS

Courtesy photo WHITINSVILLE — The culminating performance of the Senior Summer Theater Arts Workshop at the Valley Music School will be a production of the classic musi- cal “The Wizard of Oz.” This will be presented to the public on Friday, July 19, at 7 p.m., and again on Saturday, July 20, at 1 and 7 p.m. The stage show will be held at the Northbridge Middle School Auditorium on Linwood Ave. in Whitinsville. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for students 12 and under, with tickets available at the door. Senior citizen tickets of $7 will be sold for the 1 p.m. show on Saturday. The Summer Theater Arts Workshop, now in its 17th year, has been in session at the Valley Music School during the past two weeks. High school students from around the Blackstone Valley have been taught acting, singing, dancing, and all the many skills needed for a live stage production. The beloved story of “The Wizard of Oz” comes alive with the costumes, scenery, and props which give an authentic fla- vor to the musical. The young actors show a great talent in their abilities to tell the story through their singing, dialogue, and movements. The talents of the theater camp directors, all from the Blackstone Valley,are most impressive also. Russ Whittaker, Karen Hastie-Wilson, Debbie Kogut, and Harriet Forman, who have worked together over the seventeen years, have brought togeth- er a wonderful combination of experience and talented artistry to share with the participants. This show is supported by The Northbridge Cultural Council.
