Olivia Richman photos

STURBIRDGE — Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, veterans, the Fire Department and the town’s Colonial Militia all marched throughout Sturbridge on Monday, May 25 to commemorate Memorial Day and remember all of the veterans who put their lives on the line to serve their country. The Memorial Day parade was led by Honorary Parade Marshal Roland “Rollie” Hewitt, a World War II veteran and resident of Sturbridge. Hewitt was a survivor of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Sturbridge’s parade began at the Old Fire Station. After boarding school busses, the parade reformed once again in front of the Public Safety Complex, where a ceremony was held in front of the Firefighter’s Monument. After making their way down Main Street, the marchers and town residents were invited to an Open House at the American Legion.

The Memorial Day Parade heads to North Cemetery for a reading of the Gettysburg Address.

Cub Scout Pack 161 hold up the flags they carry throughout the Memorial Day parade.

American Legion Auxiliary Post 109 prepares to march down Main Street.

Firefighter Ryan Mullen reads the “Fireman’s Prayer” at the Sturbridge Safety Complex.

Daisies and Brownies from Troop 1507 take a quick break from marching. The Fire Department joins the Memorial Day Parade as they march down Main Street towards the Town Commons.

It just felt right to do it. “I thought it would be great to give the seniors a clean and updated room to enjoy,” he said. “They made this town what it is today and they deserve to have a nice room. It was our pleasure to give back to our town and seniors.” The senior center staff and the seniors who participate in activities at the senior center were in agreement that the room looked much more updated. It also looked more open and spacious, bright and inviting. A steering committee was recently appointed to look into whether the cur- The Senior Center was peach and green for many years.

There’s never been a sat- isfactory answer.” The Memorial Day program began with sixth graders from the Middle School Chorus sing- ing the National Anthem, fol- lowed by the American Legion Charlton Post 391 posting the colors. The Memorial Day Program included an introduction of the veterans at Charlton Police Chief James the retirement home. As the names were read members of the American Pervier sang “My Buddy,” as Legion shook hands and thanked the veteran for their service.

Massachusetts takes great care of the vets in our state. What these men and women have gone through is something that we can’t even imagine. When you put yourself in harms way for others I think it’s the noblest cause.

He also noted the commitment The American Legion members shake hands with a Navy veteran.

Stuffed Salsa Burgers Ingredients: 105 Masonic Home Road • 1 lb. ground meat. I use ground turkey. • 1 C. Salsa of your choice. Charlton MA 01550 • 1/2 C. bread crumbs. • 1 or 2 garlic cloves – roughly chopped Combine the first four ingredients Pizzas • Calzones • Seafood • Grinders

• 1 lb. baby spinach Salads • Pasta • Dinners • Appetizers • 1 roasted red pepper (not from a jar – do your own in the oven or on the grill or stove burner) • 1 medium onion cut into rings • 3 – 4 ozs. Goat cheese (or cheese of your choice) Cut into 4 slices.

Directions: Sauté onions in a little olive oil until soft. Toss in spinach and roughly chopped roast- ed red pepper. Cool mixture completely. HOURS: Take your meat mixture and form 8 patties. Four should be slightly larger than the other four. The four larger patties will be the bottom patty. SUN.-WED. 11AM - 9PM Once vegetable mixture is cool, take a tablespoon full and lay it on top of the larger burger. Take a slice of cheese, and lay that on top of the veggie mixture. Take the THURS.-SAT. 11AM - 10PM smaller patty and place it on top of the larger patty, veggie mixture, and cheese. Press down just a little. Take the larger patty and begin to seal the side of the meat with the sides of the meat on the smaller patty. Seal them well. Once they’re formed, place in the refrigerator until they’ve firmed up. Once they’re firm, fire up the grill Free Delivery! and enjoy.
