CHARLTON — Cosmetology stu- dents at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School got together last week to “think pink” and raise funds for breast cancer awareness. For the third year in a row (and for the second year of opening the event to the public), the students added pink hair extensions to clients who donated $5 to the cause of cancer awareness. All 35 of the school’s cosmetology students participated in the fund- raiser, adding the pink extensions to fellow students’ hair during lunch breaks and then opening up the pro- gram to walk-ins from the communi- ty from 3-6 p.m. last Wednesday,Oct. 3. The hairdressers also “did a team of Shepherd Hill Regional High School students” the day before, in order to accommodate the athletes’ schedule. The fundraising was a prelude of sorts for National Denim Day,the offi- cial kick-off for Breast Cancer Awareness programs. The Bay Path cosmetologists raised $1,381 as a group with the pink hair extensions in 2010, and $1,660 last year. “We’re hoping to surpass the $1,660 record this year,” said Lead Cosmetology Instructor Denise Maesto during the afternoon pink- hair sessions. Young and old alike donated to the cause by getting streaks of pink added to their tresses. And not all were female. “We did a lot of guys’ hair at lunchtime,” said one of the student hairdressers. Jami Collard of Oxford, left, provided a flash of pink to Lauryn Mulcahey’s hair at Along with Maesto, Pam Staney last Wednesday’s fund-raiser. and Sharon Gemme are Cosmetology Department instructors, aided by assistants Cheri Mitchell and Kim Gaboury.

SOUTHBRIDGE – It was “A September Night of Magic (and more)!” last Friday, Sept. 28, at the Tri-Community YMCA on Everett Street. With torrents of rain outside, more than 75 YMCA and community members gathered in the basement for a performance of practiced pres- tidigitation from magician (and former Y member) Paul Kafig early in the evening. After a 45-minute show featuring lots of audience participation, the kids (of all ages) enjoyed free snacks (popcorn, cotton candy) upstairs before heading off to some recreational “Gym and Swim” time for another hour. The Y holds monthly family night events, which are open to members (for free) and the gen- eral public (for a small fee). Erin Kirschner organizes the family events for the Y, which has nearly 5,000 members enjoying a variety of programs and events for everyone from toddlers (Kid Watch) to Silver Sneakers (senior citizen exercise programs). For information on the next family night program or other YMCA o fferings, call 508-765-5466, or visit the website at: www.tricommunityYMCA.org.

Mark Ashton photos Mya Rodriguez, 5, helps make an egg disappear from “the bag of mystery.” Magician Paul Kafig turns blank pages into colorful drawings using his audience’s favorite colors and a few words of magic.

Showing his audience the ropes, magician Paul Kafig uses sleight of hand to impress youngsters and their parents.

The reason for the rally was the serving of Danielle Watkins, whose unconventional serve posed problems for the Warriors. “She’s really developed a very nice jump- float serve,” Caffelle said. “When she’s on she really causes problems for the other team. It’s a float serve so it doesn’t have much spin. It’s like a knuckleball in baseball and the fact that she jumps, that throws people off too because they don’t see it all the time.” By the time Tantasqua was able to side out it was 11-2 and they could never get back into the set. “I don’t think we were warmed up,” Rousseau said. The next two sets were much closer, though. In the second set Miranda Dry’s serving staked the Warriors to a 9-2 early advantage. But the Rams continued to claw back and Victoria Moriarty’s block and coinciding point tied the score at 16-16. Shepherd Hill then held its slim lead until a Tantasqua serve sailed out of bounds, ending it at 25-22.
