Sullivan s Travels: Help determine future of South Natick dam
Wicked Local
For nearly 90 years, since the days of the Great Depression, the dam at South Natick has drawn visitors – animal and human – to its beauty.
It has been the inspiration for artists, a few moments of peace for bench-sitters, and even where the occasional fish becomes dinner for the occasional heron.
But the dam is aging. There’s the possibility the dam could fail, causing damage to property downriver.
According to information provided by the town, the current dam – there’s been a dam at this site since colonial times – provides no flood control. It’s there more for aesthetic and recreational purposes.
Sullivan s Travels: Local Relay for Life takes to the road this year
This year’s Relay for Life of Natick, Framingham, Sherborn, Ashland and Holliston is hitting the road.
According to Lewis Glass, one of this year’s organizers, plans call for a “Rolling Relay,” starting at Dover-Sherborn High School, then on to Natick with a finish in Framingham.
There will be an FM transmitter to broadcast the ceremonies in each location and “on the road” between locations.
Organizers are also planning a modified luminaria ceremony using lawn signs, as well as live entertainment along the route, a car decorating contest, and a scavenger hunt.
