Nahant Teen Scores Role inBruce Willis Movie

Rachel Tarmy, of FortySteps Lane, had an exciting June.On June 7th, Rachel went to anaudition for people between theages of 18 and 30, who wereready to be part of the action inthe upcoming Bruce Willismovie, The Surrogates. Briefly,this movie takes place not too farin the future and is about asociety in which beautiful surro-gates take the place of ordinarycitizens, in the work world. Thepeople who have surrogates stayat home and relax, while the robotic surrogates do the work. People who choose not tohave surrogates are referred to as dreads and are relegated to a type of reservation.

Rachel was one of about 700 attractive young people who showed up at the opencall for surrogates, in Woburn. After filling out an application and having her picturetaken, Rachel was asked to walk a few steps on a padded surface and then fall down likea released marionette. She did it twice and was told thank you and those who werechosen for the June 29th scene would be called within 10 days or so. Two days later,Rachel was called by the casting company, to take part in a different scene. They musthave seen something promising in her “fall.” (Continued on page 17.)

The Future of Boy Scouting in NahantNahant Boy Scout Troop 50 is the longest, consecutively-chartered group in the

Aquila District, of the Yankee Clipper Council. In its over 80 year history, scouting hasbeen an important part of the lives of many men and boys in our town. Over the years,several men and women have served as Scoutmasters, including a record 25 years forBob Steeves. Recently, Peter Fitzpatrick was inducted as the new Scoutmaster, who willlead the troop into the future.

The outgoing Scoutmaster, John Roy, has served the troop for 14 years, along withhis wife, Alice, who has been the Advancement Coordinator. They joined scouting, inpart, because of their two sons and also because of their love of camping. Their workwas acknowledged at the annual Town Meeting, this past April, when the couple jointlyreceived the “Citizen of the Year” award. As John and Alice stood on the stage of TownHall, with the scouts behind them, Town Moderator, David Conlin, acknowledged thatthis was the first time a joint award had been presented in Nahant. In addition to the joysof camping, hiking and other activities, John and Alice have worked hard behind thescenes, to keep the troop going. At the Annual Court of Honor on June 25th, John de-scribed the great satisfaction he has received from the accomplishments of each scout hehas worked with, no matter how small these achievements may have seemed.

The Roys had made a decision to leave scouting after their youngest son, Alec,turned 18 and completed his Eagle rank, as had their older son, Colin, four years prior. Itwas not clear, at that time, who would assume leadership of the troop.

The future of Boy Scouting in Nahant is now secure and Troop 50 will continue. Atthe June 25th Court of Honor, Peter Fitzpatrick was inducted as the new Scoutmaster.The announcement came as a surprise to many of the scouts and their families in atten-dance, who gave him a standing ovation. Peter has served as Webelo Den Leader, for thepast two years. He moves up to Boy Scouts with his oldest son, Brian, who is 11. Theywere joined at the ceremony by his younger son, Matthew, aged 8.

My Brother’s Table Summer Garden Party

My Brother’s Table (MBT) will hold its Annual Summer Garden Party, August 14th,at 7:00 pm. In a first, the gala event will be moved from Swampscott to the historicNahant Country Club. The fundraiser will benefit this essential, non-profit, feeding pro-gram located in Lynn. Tickets to the Summer Garden Party are $65 per person and may bereserved by calling My Brother’s Table at 781-595-3224, or via its website:www.mybrotherstable.org. Co-chairing the committee this year are Nahant residentsBeverly and Tom Quinn and Kellie and Skip Frary. Patty Forster of Nahant, a member ofthe Table’s Board of Directors, is on the event committee, as is Nahant Garden Clubmember, Marie Ford, who, with the club, has designed and arranged beautiful floralarrangements for the event since 1995.

The Mt. Vernon at the Wharf, the Porthole, G, The Lyceum and George fromBrother’s Deli and other restaurants, will provide signature tastings. Other highlights ofthe event include a tenderloin carving station and passed food, including mini lobster rollsand shrimp. The Nahant Country Club will prepare additional food. The DelRossi Triowill provide music. There will be a silent auction featuring Prime Red Sox Tickets, a LasVegas Getaway and a Zimmans gift certificate. There will also be a dessert room, featuringdonated sweets, many baked by Nahant residents.

MBT has served over 2 million daily meals to those in need, in all kinds of weather,during 26 years of economic ups and downs. Many Nahant groups and individuals areregular volunteers and supporters. “This event is a critical fund-raiser for the NorthShore’s largest soup kitchen,” said MBT Board President, Mark Messenger. According toMessenger, in this economy, donations have been much harder to come by. In addition, theneed has increased in recent months. “It is the mission of My Brother’s Table to providenutritious daily meals-—lunch and dinner—to people who need them. The funds raised bythe Annual Summer Garden Party will allow us, again, to extend our helping hands and tofulfill this important mission,” he said.

To ensure the privacy of its guests, My Brother’s Table receives no governmentfunding and is not a United Way affiliate. Instead, it relies on funding from private andcorporate donations. Numerous North Shore businesses and organizations contribute tothe Summer Garden Party’s success. Almost all of the Summer Garden Party goods andservices are donated by local businesses. About 90 percent of the proceeds from the Partydirectly support the operation of My Brother’s Table. Submitted by Mary Magner.

To Renovate or Rebuild, That is the Questionby Joe Moccia, Advanced Building Concepts

Today, it is hard to make any decision without thinking green and thinking energy-efficient. This is most important, when making decisions about your home. Many of us arefacing the choice, do we fix up the old house, or tear it down and rebuild? Are there issuesof lead paint, mold, insects, asbestos, poor air quality, poor water quality, old, unsafewiring, or plumbing?

Today, thanks to modern manufacturing, computer-aided design and laser measure-ment, this decision is easier to make. In the past, tearing down an older home, to constructa new home, meant nearly a year to complete and the relocation of your family, with allthe added hassle and expense involved. It is now possible to have a new, modular home onyour existing lot, in less time and often for less money, than a total renovation of yourexisting home.

An article in This Old House magazine from April 2008, stated, “Modular used to becode for small, cheap and boring. Not anymore. Today’s factory-built housing is designedas well, looks every bit as good and uses the same quality methods and materials, ashouses built one stud at a time. Plus, it often costs less. Modular manufacturers nowcompete at the highest levels of an industry dominated by traditional ‘stick,’ or on-sitebuilding.”

With today’s high quality and high efficiency modular homes, you can be out of yourold home and into your new home in as little as three to four weeks. Your new home isactually constructed in a factory, while you are still living in your old home. When yournew home is completed and ready to ship, your old home is then demolished in one day. Afew days later, the new foundation is complete and your new home can be put on thefoundation.

Advanced Building Concepts is a Nahant-based modular home dealer. We have beenbuilding modular homes for over 25 years and we specialize in high-quality, high-effi-ciency homes. Our homes use the latest construction techniques and are certified EnergyStar homes. We have built homes in Marblehead, Swampscott and several here in Nahant.We focus on the special requirements of homes built in coastal towns, such as high windloads and wind-driven rain.

If you are considering major renovations, or a new home, or if you would just likemore information, or if you would like to talk with some of your Nahant neighbors whohave been through the process, call Joe Moccia, 781-581-8888, or e-mail [email protected].

Summer Bene“Fit”sby Sallee Slagle, Director, Dance Dimensions

How can the summer help us have a healthier eating lifestyle? The heat may makeyou feel less hungry, but don’t skip breakfast. This starts your engines for the day, toburn more fuel, more calories. Try a light breakfast, like a fresh fruit smoothie, slice ofmelon, fruit salad, or yogurt with granola and fruit. Fresh summer fruits are high inwater content and help replenish the body’s nutrient needs quickly. Fruit also digestsquickly, so you may feel hungry again sooner, but just have more, or have somethingelse satisfying later, like whole grain toast, or a small bowl of cereal. Studies show thatactive adults who eat small amounts, several times a day, have leaner bodies and lowerbody fat percentages.

If you’re trying to lose weight, watch out for calories in what you drink. Sodas andother sugary drinks add calories. Iced coffee coolers and others, contain sugar syrups,cream and often topped with whipped cream, are high-calorie thirst-coolers. Plain icedtea, or coffee, is a better choice, even if you add sugar. Vitamin waters can also havesugar and fructose, which add calories too. Also, be sure to quench your thirst withenough water. Have a glass of water before every meal. Thirst is often mistaken forhunger. Quench your thirst first and you may feel satisfied sooner, at your next meal.Alcohol in drinks also adds calories, so limit these and steer away from those summerfrozen drinks, filled with extra calories. Try dry white, or red wine, or wine spritzers, oneof the low-cal options.

Increase your fiber intake. A USDA study found that, increasing fiber in your diet,reduces the calories your body absorbs from the other foods you eat. This study showedwomen who doubled their fiber from 12g to 24g daily, absorbed 90 calories fewer. It alladds up.

Pack your own lunch, or picnic, more often and choose wisely, when eating out.Eating out can add hundreds of extra calories a day. When eating out avoid fried foodsand ceam sauces. Always order salads and vegetables. Watch out for portion size. Por-tion size is often two meals and that’s twice the calories!

Fresh summer vegetables are filled with vitamin and minerals, as well as having ahigh water content. Some have higher fat content (like avacados), or higher carbohydratecontent (like peas and corn), but your diet should be a balance of all three—protein, fatand carbohydrates. Indulge in all of them, even avacado. Natural fat sources have greaternutrient value and many are rich in essential Omega’s.

The heat can make you feel tired, but summer activities can lighten your mood,reduce stress and give your metabolism a boost to burn more calories, while having fun!Don’t go to the gym, get outdoors! Walking, swimming, cycling, burns approximately250-450 calories per hour. Summer is a great time to try some new challenges or justhave fun with a new activity. Jogging is a very high energy activity, burning 450-600calories per hour.

For additional summer challenge, run the beach! It will shape your legs in no time.Try kayaking. It not only works your upper body, but also works your abs, back andchest, while burning about 300 calories an hour. Roller-blading can burn up to 600calories per hour and gives your legs and buttocks a great workout. Rowing your boatuses the whole body and can burn 600 calories an hour. Play tennis for a full bodyworkout that burns almost 450 calories per hour. Volleyball is fun on the beach andburns about the same calories. Playng frisbee, or running through the sprinkler, alsoburns about 300+ calories an hour. Don’t worry if you don’t last an hour, short workoutsadd up quickly.

Summer fun can be active and healthy with summer food and festivities. Think fun,choose wisely and get double benefits this summer!

Safety and Precautions in Massage and Bodyworkby Susan Cadigan, LMT, NCTMB/Nahant Therapeutic Massage

The first step in safely receiving massage and bodywork begins with you. A respon-sible massage therapist will require and insist that you fill out a medical questionnaire. Itis extremely important to be thorough, when giving your history and medical background. She/He will then review and ask questions about your daily life, nagging physi-cal problems, goals of the session and keep an eye out for any signs of contra-indica-tions. Some situations, in particular, are any acute pain or swelling-sudden onset, ornagging (this needs to be addressed with your primary care physician as soon as pos-sible), cardiovascular conditions, thrombosis, phlebitis and edema, to name a few. It isalways best to check with your doctor, before embarking on massage therapy, if you havehealth issues.

A responsible massage therapist may also require a doctor’s note. These precautionsare for your benefit and well-being. Massage therapy and bodywork can help you torelax, breathe and feel better, but it must be appropriate for the situation. If deeper tissuetherapy may not be beneficial or safe, gentle Swedish or energy work may be a betterapproach. It is very important to receive bodywork/massage therapy from someone whois experienced and formally-trained in the techniques offered. Your therapist should belicensed and certified. You may locate formally-trained and qualified massage therapistsand body workers by going to American Massage Therapy Association atwww.amtamassage.org or www.mass.gov and click on to search massage-locate alicensed massage therapist.

Susan Cadigan is licensed and nationally certified in therapeutic massage & body-work. Nahant Therapeutic Massage is located at the Nahant Community Center, 41Valley Road. You may contact Ms. Cadigan at 617-240-4252, e-mail @[email protected] and www.nahantmassage.com

See You At “Mitchell’s Cahnah”

Nahant’s own Tudor Cocktail Ice Company has donated very cool “NAHANTISLAND MENTALITY” emblazoned shirts and baseball caps, along with colorful 24ozcommemorative cups, to hold this year’s magical libation, “The COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO,” in honor of our Dad, Frederic Tudor’s, champion rooster “Fandango.” As manyof you avid Ice Shaving readers recall, Dad crossbred Fandango with the company muleand that gave birth to the “Mulooster,” the first multitask animal that could lay 2 lb. eggsand pull our cocktail ice delivery wagon.

Fandango’s manure droppings could pro-duce 5 lb. tomatoes, 20” long ears of corn andgreen beans the size of golf balls. Our companylogo proudly honors the mulooster and thememory of the great Fandango.

Believe us, we are also getting support fromother Town greats. Mike O’Callahan is, again,bringing the pizzas, Brett Henry is getting thebeer trailer and barbeques, JC Connolly is bring-ing enough generators and lighting to illuminateFenway Park, Dave Doyle is going to power upJoe Dowling’s house, in the heart of Mitchell’s Cahnah, for the band, while WayneWilson is setting up the stage on Joe’s front yard. (Joe, didn’t get married again last year,thank Gawd, the first thing she’ll do is plant a lawn with flowers and shrubs and we cankiss the bandstand goodbye. He could orchestrate a “Mitchell’s Cahnah Exemption”clause in a pre-nup)!

Remember, this adult event has a purpose, “OUR ISLAND KIDS.” The mainrecipient of the event will be the Nahant Education Foundation, along with the NahantLittle League, and the Nahant Recreation Committee. So come on down for some“dancin’ in the streets,” admission is FREE, Sunday, August 31st, from 7:00 to 11:00p.m. (Rain date: Labor Day Monday, September 1st, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Remember folks, it’s Free Admission, but it “IS” a fundraiser, so please buy “our”food and drinks, along with some cool memorabilia AND DON’T BRING YOUR OWNSTASH FROM HOME...

Hey Nahanters, speaking of Fandango’s magical manure, the present owner ofFandango’s residence, the stone house at the corner of Spring Road and High St. Ext.,evidently has discovered its power. He has forgone building a structure on the grounds,in favor of planting an award-winning vegetable crop, in that Fandango-enriched soil,(just in time for Nahant’s entry at the Topsfield Fair).

That house came as a gift, along with Fandango, to our Dad, from the Crown Princeof Martinique and his voodoo high priest Iatolduso. They were given as a thank you toDad for bringing ice to their island. As you all remember, that stone house originally wasFandango’s home in Martinique, disassembled, stone-numbered, loaded on a TudorCocktail Ice Co. cargo schooner, along with Iatolduso and shipped to Nahant. Iatoldusosupervised the numbered stone-by-stone reconstruction of the home on the present sight.

The Nature of Nahant“The Wind Birds”

By Linda Pivacek

They’re back! I was thrilled to see a flock ofshorebirds flying along Short Beach in mid-July, thebeginning of fall migration. The birds did their re-markable precision flying maneuvers, a tight flockturning as one, each rapid turn changing the color ofthe flock from bright white to dark, then back again,in an instant. The purpose of this flocking behavior is,however, not for its entertainment value, but to con-fuse and evade predators.

Nahant is a great place to witness the fall shore-bird migration. The birds fly south from breedinggrounds in the arctic tundra to wintering grounds inSouth America. Some shorebird species migrate 6,000miles! Nahant is a key area, where these birds find thefood that they need during the journey. After restingand feeding here, they will sometimes fly continu-ously for several days. Research clearly shows that,without the opportunity to rest and “fatten up,” theysimply perish on their journey south.

I hope you have a chance to experience thisnatural event. Although shorebird numbers may drop,the migration will continue into September. In lateJuly and early August, the adults migrate south afterbreeding, then 3 or 4 weeks later, the juveniles movesouth. The north end of Short Beach toward LittleNahant, is where the birds congregate, especially nearhigh tide. This is where there is the least disturbanceand where the pilayella algae collects: the bane ofbeachgoers and a boon to birds! I would like to findways to alert beachgoers to the importance of ShortBeach to these birds, so that disturbance is kept to aminimum, while folks still enjoy the beach.

As I watch the shorebirds foraging on ourbeaches, I am very moved by their incredible journeyand their dependence on Nahant for food and rest.This is their sanctuary, after hundreds of miles offlight and with hundreds more to go. Below, are thewords of the wilderness writer, Peter Matthiessen,from his book, The Wind Birds.

“The restlessness of shorebirds, their kinshipwith the distance and swift seasons, the wistful signalof their voices down the long coastlines of the worldmake them, for me, the most affecting of wild crea-tures. I think of them as birds of wind – as windbirds.”

If you would like to witness the shorebird migra-tion, please join the Open Space Committee for afield trip at Short Beach, on August 8th. We will be infront of the Life-Saving Station, beginning at 6:00p.m. Please bring binoculars, if possible.

No Discharge Area Making Progressby Polly Bradley

Good news for cleaner waters around Nahant! The Lower North Shore No Dis-charge Area (NDA) is coming along nicely, according to Kathryn Glenn, North ShoreRegional Coordinator for the Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM). A draftnomination document has been written and information on conditions and facilities hasbeen received from all five communities, that will be in the NDA: Revere, Saugus, Lynn,Nahant and Swampscott. When the final details are taken care of, the NDA should beunderway. Boston Harbor and Salem Harbor are in the final stage of a process that willforbid any discharge of boat, or ship, waste, whether treated, or untreated, within thethree-mile state limit around Boston and Salem. It is essential for Nahant also to be partof an NDA, or we will be just outside their NDAs and vulnerable to dumping from theirboats. For more information, call Kathryn Glenn, at 978-281-3972, or [email protected].

CZM asked me to send in a paragraph outlining why a Lower North Shore NoDischarge Area is necessary. I sent in the following draft as part of the working docu-ment.

Lower North Shore No Discharge Area - Revere, Saugus,Nahant, Lynn and Swampscott

The sweep of wide, sandy beaches and blue ocean waves that includes Revere,Saugus, Nahant, Lynn and Swampscott, has justly been called the Sapphire Necklace.Lynn Shore Drive, in fact, was designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted, creatorof Boston’s Emerald Necklace. Nahant is the gem in the center of the blue necklace.

Clean water, the goal of the No Discharge Area (NDA) program, is essential to theuse of these beaches. The beaches are within walking distance of thousands of people,many of whom are too poor to own a car. They are accessible by public transportationfrom Boston. These shores are intensely used in the summer, well-used in spring and falland frequently crowded with pedestrians on pleasant days in winter.

They are a prime destination of bikers in the Greater Boston area and much trea-sured for their beautiful views of the Boston skyline, behind a foreground of commercialships, fishing vessels and sailboats.

Northeastern University Marine Science Center in Nahant requires clean water forits study of the ecology surrounding Nahant and beyond, as well as for the seawaterintakes for its experiments.

Fishing and lobstering were the reasons these communities were settled, almost 400years ago and there are still professional fishermen and lobstermen in Revere, Saugus,Nahant, Lynn and Swampscott. Recreational fishing and lobstering are popular and

actually bring significantprotein to many families.

Clean water wouldmake shellfishing equallypopular and would benefitthe migratory birds thatstop over on their way upand down the AtlanticFlyway, every spring andfall. There is commercial,seashore-dependent activityin every community, butespecially in Lynn Harbor,which is undergoing arevitalization program thatis expected to bring a Lynn-Boston ferry service soon.

For all these reasonsand more, that would take abook, not a paragraph, theLower North Shore NoDischarge Area should beestablished.

Letter to Ms. CanadayRe: The Causeway Reconstruction Plan

I write to you to strongly oppose the Causewayreconstruction plan, as proposed by the DCR. I wasunable to attend last evening’s hearing, because of priorcommitments; however, I did attend the first hearing. Atthat time, I thought I stated my public safety concerns inan understandable manner. Even after the modificationsto their first proposal, the second proposal still leaves alot to be desired. It appears to me that more thought hasbeen placed in esthetics, rather than safety and function-ality and with more care and thought being given to the“Nahant Beach Reservation” and beach parking, thanthe safety of the Causeway.

The Town of Nahant complained for years aboutthe unsafe condition of the Causeway before the defunctMDC finally placed “Jersey Barriers” to divide theroadway. Prior to the placement of the “Jersey Barri-ers,” there were numerous fatalities and very seriousaccidents, caused in no small part, by the lack of barri-ers. Now the DCR comes along and wants to removethe “Jersey Barriers” and replace them with some typeof guard rail system. A guard rail and “Jersey Barrier”function in vastly different ways. A vehicle hitting aguard rail at the right speed and angle can easily jumpthe rail and wind up into oncoming traffic. A “JerseyBarrier” prevents this. When struck by a vehicle, thebarrier is designed to keep the vehicle within its ownlane of travel.

Another very serious flaw with the current designproposal, is the reduction of two lanes to one, at variouslocations of the roadway. This, without a doubt, willlead to accidents and bottlenecks by creating artificialchoke points. The current configuration should bemaintained.

What is needed is better drainage, improvedlighting for both the roadway and parking lot and acomplete reconstruction of the roadbed andsurface. Replace the cement wall between the outboundlanes of the Causeway and the parking lot and topping-off the new wall with a wrought iron fence, similar towhat is on the Michael Carroll Highway. Also, morerip-rap is needed on the harbor side, to prevent some ofthe tidal surges that affect flooding, during coastalstorms. More and clearer sign placement for enteringthe “Reservation” parking area, would alleviate most ofthe confusion experienced by first-time beach users.

I am very disturbed that as this process was in theinitial planning stages, no one from DCR ever contactedthe Nahant Police Department for input, as to safetyconsiderations. It appears to me that the DCR is using acarrot-and-stick approach to this project with the Townof Nahant. The attitude they project is, if you want theCauseway reconstructed, you will have to live with ourdesign.

After more than forty years involvement withpublic safety and the Nahant Causeway, I really dobelieve I know what I’m talking about. I most respect-fully request that the DCR will place common-senseand safety, as the priority for this project.

—William F. Waters, Chief of Police, NPD

Nahant Education Foundation Kicks Into Full Swing

Nahant Education Foundation got into full swing, the month of June, with twokick-off parties to introduce themselves to the community. Ann Schiffenhaus, Presi-dent of the Board and Joe Lisi, Superintendent of the Johnson School,

both spoke on Nahant Education Foundation’s plans to raise funds from privatesources, to improve and enrich Nahant’s Johnson Elementary School.

“The need for technology and innovative teaching programs have increasedsignificantly over the years, with no increase in state funding,” said Ann. “We feelthat we can make a huge difference with private funding. Our children deserve thevery best. They are our future and it is the most important investment anyone canmake.”

Joe Lisi feels that Johnson Elementary has good fundamentals, but believes thatit can be even better, with money for: advanced technology, enrichment programsafter school, extra curricular activities, science equipment for its expanding marinebiology curriculum, first through sixth grade, Study Island, concert series at BostonSymphony, Peabody Essex Museum multi visit program, and the list goes on. NEFhopes to raise $100,000 this year, with plans of $2 million endowment over the nextfew years.

In just two short months, the Foundation has already raised over $20,000, thanksto the incredible generosity of Nahanters. NEF would like to thank everyone who hascontributed. To find out more, or how you can help, please visit our website atwww.nahantef.org, or call Ann Schiffenhaus at 593-1814.

Early morning windstorm.The surf surges, a furious grayFull of thick brown waterMixed with stinking seaweedsOnto the shore.By afternoon the wind grows quietThe ocean backs off smoothlyReturning the blue viewAnd clear water.But filth remainsLike the swelling chatter of gossiping womenWho turn the air blueWith nervous, uncontrollable word-storms.How unlike angels they appearAfter theirAfternoon Martini.

Tarmy in Bruce Willis Movie

(Continued from page 1.)On Wednesday, June 11th, Rachel reported to

Taunton, to film a scene as a “dread” farmer. During thefilming, she had the good fortune to actually meet and talkto Bruce Willis. She said he seemed very nice, but likeyou always hear people say, he looked a lot different inperson. Rachel worked again in Taunton the next day, thistime bringing her dad, Les, along. As luck would have it,the production company needed more people for that dayand Les got to be in a scene with Rachel. They had to bepart of a crowd and listen intently to the Prophet, playedby Ving Rhames, while he gives an inspiring sermon.During this scene, Bruce Willis walks through the crowd.

As exciting as these two days were, the real thrillcame when Rachel had to play one of the elegant surro-gates, who had to walk down Munroe Street, in Lynn,while a motorcycle and two Boston Police Cruisers wentracing past and two helicopters swooped down after them!Her character was not allowed to react in any way. Shesaid it was nerve-wracking at times, because the helicop-ters came so close and appeared to be right on top of eachother. Two Tarmy family cars were also used in the chasescene.

Rachel wound up putting in a total of seven days,filming four very different scenes. She hopes to be calledagain, if they do more filming in Massachusetts, althoughshe wishes the call times could be later than 6:00 a.m. Itwas an experience of a lifetime and she gained a newperspective on the “glamorous” life of movie stars, afterspending 15 hours doing over 150 takes of the samescene, while wearing exceptionally high-heeled shoes!!Ah, the price of fame.

The Surrogates is scheduled to hit movie theaters inNovember 2009.

They will serve as an inspirationto the younger scouts, to also continue along the path. Thefour new Eagle Scouts, along with Peter Fitzpatrick andthe present Cub and Boy Scouts, invite other Nahant boysto share in the fun, camaraderie and achievements ofscouting.

Meet the Harbor Review Home Delivery Crew!

A year ago, the Nahant Harbor Review stopped mailing the monthly newspaper toNahant residents. Due to rising postal costs, another delivery method had to be found.Nahant was broken up into eight delivery routes, ads were placed in the paper for deliv-ery people and reliable crew members were found for each route and home delivery ofthe Nahant Harbor Review began!

Nahant Scout Troop Marks 75 Yearsof Community Service

Nahant Boy Scout Troop 50 will be celebrating 75 yearsof community service to the town, at a special celebration onSaturday night, at the Town Hall at 6:00 p.m.

At the celebration, the troop will also be retiring their flag,which they will hand over to the Historical Society. Accordingto Jeanne Baranek, who was a scout master from 1989-97,Troop 50 is one of the oldest troops in the 85-year history ofthe Boy Scouts.

The reason the flag will be retired is because the area ofthe Boy Scouts that Nahant belongs to has changed its namefrom the North Bay Council to the Yankee Clipper Council.The Yankee Clipper Council covers the southern New Hamp-shire area to Winthrop.

Though the flag will retire, the commitment to publicservice will not. “I’m on the (Troop 50) committee to makesure it doesn’t die,” said Robert Steeves, who was a Scoutmas-ter from 1951-72. “It’s an interesting way to grow up.”

According to Troop 50 Committee Chairman Nancy Roy,the scouts are always there if the town needs them. “Everyyear, they decorate the veterans’ gravestones with flags andflowers,” Roy said. “The troop marches in the Memorial DayParade. They help out with the beach cleanups in the springand fall. Anything else that any town organization needs, theyhelp out. They learn to support the town through com-munityservice.”

One major project that the scouts participated in was thatthey helped to identify veterans in the Greenlawn Cemetery.

Baranek said before the boy scouts participatged in thatproject, “some of them (the veterans) were identified, and somewere not. Let’s just say there was not a consistent recordingsystem.

“They took sections of the cemetery and wrote down whatthey found on the gravestones,” Baranek said. “They gotinformation from cards, where they found out who was buried,in Town Hall, and they compared that information with whatthey found on the gravestone.”

Scouts not only learn about community service, but theypass on their knowledge. “Being a scout is a continuing learn-ing process,” said Steeves, who was a scout himself during the1930s. “Some of the kids who were scouts (when Steeves wasScout Master) are now working with local people now. Theirown kids are in the cub scouts, so there’s another generation ofscouts.”

In fact, Baranek said, part of the reason that the troop haslasted for so long is because the troop has always been able tofind new leaders. “We’ve always been able to find new leader-ship and try to make it thrive,” she said. “We’ve always beenable to pass on the torch.”

Historical Society Curator, Calantha Sears, said she hopesthat having the flag in the archives will serve as a source ofpride for past and future members of the troop, which she saidhas always been an active part of the town. “We hope thatfuture generations will see how the scouts have been part of thefabric of the town for so many years,” she said.

Local Songwriter Receives National Award

Lynn singer/songwriter, Kelly Riley, recently received an Honors Award in theCountry category of the national Great American Song contest, for her song, “PleaseMama, Please.”

Based on a mother’s continued pleas for her single daughter to wed, the singer’sresponse is, “Please mama, please! Don’t ask me again when I’m gonna get married.”

Riley says, “It’s somewhat autobiographical; a comical, lighthearted take on aconversation between a mother and her daughter. I was initially inspired by a phrase ortwo, then proceeded to throw in some country ‘twang’ and some fun lyrical referencesand I was off. I guess it’s somewhat of a ‘universal theme’ for single gals.”

A native of Old Saybrook, CT, Riley attended Berklee College of Music in Boston,before moving to Lynn, where she writes songs and teaches piano, guitar and voicelessons, from her home studio.

After attending Berklee, Riley went on to pursue a professional career in music andhas been the opening performer for Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett and others.

Several songs from Riley’s debut CD, “Live and You Learn,” have been featured indaytime television shows, such as “One Life to Live” and “The Young and the Restless.”

Riley previously won the Top Prize in the Nashville Songwriter’s AssociationInternational Competition, for her song, “Love Bug” from Live and You Learn” and wasalso a Lilith Fair Competition Finalist and a Providence Song Slam Winner.

In addition to playing her original music with the “Kelly Riley Band,” Riley per-forms with the Country/Blues group, “Porch Party Mamas.” The Porch Mamas will beperforming at a “Veterans for Peace” Benefit at Johnny D’s, 17 Holland St., DavisSquare, Somerville, on Tuesday, July 29th, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door andall proceed will go to the Veterans groups. Call 617-776-2004 for more info.

Presented byAARP, the classroom refresher course focuses on compensating for physiologicalchanges that can affect the perceptual skills of drivers over 50 years of age.

The course, taught by Nancy Doherty, a trained volunteer instructor, covers manyfacets of driving, such as traffic interaction, vehicle safety, adverse driving conditions,and the rules of the road. The course focus is on the aging process affecting hearing,eyesight, driving response time and how to recognize and compensate for these condi-tions. Also, ROAD RAGE, which is an extremely important factor today!

GLSS and Legislators Call for StateSummit on Spiraling Energy Costs

It may be just the beginning of another beautifulsummer in New England, but already Greater Lynn SeniorServices (GLSS) is working with other senior advocacygroups and state legislators, to prepare for what is beingcalled the “No Heat, No Eat” crisis looming on the hori-zon when temperatures turn cold this fall and winter.

“Mass Home Care, the umbrella advocacy organiza-tion for agencies like ours throughout the state, is request-ing that Governor Patrick convene a summit on the impactof energy prices on all Massachusetts consumers, butparticularly those on limited, or fixed, incomes, like manyseniors and low-income families,” said Ron Airey, Execu-tive Director of GLSS. “While we have faced the ‘Heat orEat’ crisis during many recent winters, the fear is thatescalating fuel costs will result in a ‘No Heat, No Eat’winter for many here in Massachusetts.”

“Last year, the high cost of heating a home caused afinancial crisis for many families and senior citizens, inLynn and around the state, forcing them to chose betweenstaying warm and buying food and medicine,” said Repre-sentative Steven Walsh. ”This year, the crisis could reachcatastrophic proportions, with recent reports stating that adelivery of oil, that cost $500 last year, will cost $850 thiswinter. We need to take action now to prevent seriousconsequences for elderly residents and families thiswinter.”

The typical retiree on Social Security receives justunder $13,000 a year. Filling a 275-gallon oil tank cancost $1,300. If the retiree fills their oil tank six timesduring the winter, they will spend as much as 60 percentof their total income on fuel, just to heat their home. “It isunconscionable that residents of Massachusetts face achoice of heating their homes, or putting food on theirtables,” said Representative Mark Falzone. “

“The consequences of no action will be seniorsfreezing to death in their unheated apartments and serviceprograms running out of funds to help them,” Mass HomeCare spokesman Al Norman said, in a letter to GovernorPatrick. “This is not conjecture at this point—we havealready passed the tipping point, economically, for fami-lies relying on their Social Security checks.” Normannoted that the Massachusetts congressional delegationneeds to address the financial relief options available toMassachusetts residents, such as increased outreach forfood stamps, increased allotment of food stamps, higherthresholds of LIHEAP energy assistance and higherincome and asset eligibility for fuel assistance.
