 Kraft
Services “caterers to the Stars” is now buying NRG BARS, an All Natural
Energy Bar, and a Southborough business. Dan O'Rourke walked up to the
trailers behind the church with a case of NRG BARS and asked to speak to
whoever was in charge. They were all very friendly and brought him right
over to Charlie. Charlie owns Kraft Services of New England. Dan gave him
the first case as a thank you for coming to Southborough and let him know
that NRG BAR is a local business. He said great, I’ll put them out and if
people like them I’ll buy them from you. A few days later Dan went back and
Charlie started buying and will continue to buy. The bars are placed on a
cart of snacks which follows the “important” people around, as Dan was told.
Very Exciting.

MASSWILDLIFE ADVISORY- 5/28/09
WHO:
Dept. of Fish & Game, Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Staff and
Turtle Partners
WHAT: Headstarted
Endangered Turtle Release
WHEN: Friday, May
29—Turtles brought to MassWildlife Headquarters in Westboro for weighing
and marking
Monday, June 5—Turtle
Release in Middleborough 10:30 AM. Department of Fish and Game
Commissioner Mary Griffin and MassWildlife staff will be present to
answer questions. Public is invited to assist in releasing the turtles.
BACKGROUND:
Hatchling Northern Red-bellied Cooters (turtles) were removed from the
wild last fall and placed with partnering educational and scientific
facilities from across the state to accelerate growth and reduce
mortality during a turtle’s first year of life. Raised in warm aquarium
environments with unlimited food, these turtles grow quickly and are no
longer as vulnerable to predation when released the following year. The
process is called “Headstarting”. Cooperating partners will be bringing
headstarted turtles to MassWildlife’s Field Headquarters in Westborough
for final weighing, measuring and shell marking. Release will take place
at Great Quittacas and Pocksha Ponds in Middleborough on Monday, June 1
at 10:30 AM.
Originally, known as
the Plymouth Red-belly turtle, Northern Red-bellied Cooters are
classified as endangered species at both the state and federal level.
These turtles are Massachusett’s second largest freshwater turtle,
behind the snapper, measuring up to 12 inches in shell length and
reaching weights of up to 10 pounds. They are only found in the Plymouth
County region of southeastern Massachusetts, completely isolated from
other populations found in the mid-Atlantic states. They are named for
their coral-red plastron (underbelly of shell).
Only a few hundred
adult red-bellied cooters were believed to exist in the Commonwealth in
1984. Low survival rates of eggs and hatchlings are a factor limiting
the species’ population. Turtle nests are plundered by scavenging
raccoons and skunks, while quarter-sized hatchlings emerging in late
summer face a gauntlet of predators such as fish, frogs and wading
birds, not to mention ever-encroaching residential development complete
with kids, pets and cars, all of which spell death for the tiny
reptiles.
Habitat management
efforts have been initiated with area landowners on lakes and ponds
where turtle nests have been located and protected. Over 2,000 turtles
have been released through the Headstart program since it’s inception
since the mid-1980’s. At least three headstarted turtles are known to
have nested in this time period.
For more information
about northern redbellied cooters, see the following fact sheet:
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/nhesp/species_info/nhfacts/pseudemys_rubriventris.pdf
DIRECTIONS TO RELEASE
SITE IN MIDDLEBOROUGH
Long Point Road,
Middleborough: From Rte 495 take Exit 4 for Rte 105 south. Follow 105
through Lakeville center and past Assawompsett Pond on left and stay
straight when Rte 18 turns to the right. Take left on Long Point Road
and follow across causeway between Pocksha and Great Quittacas ponds to

 SPACE
STATION FLARES: Lately, a growing number of observers are reporting
intense "flares" coming from the International Space Station (ISS). During
some nighttime flybys, the luminosity of the space station surges 10-fold or
more. Some people have witnessed flares of magnitude -8 or twenty-five times
brighter than Venus. A movie featured on today's edition of
http://spaceweather.com shows what is
happening: sunlight glints from the station's recently expanded solar arrays
in a shadow-casting flash. Currently, the flares are unpredictable. You
watch a flyby not knowing if one will happen or how bright it might be.
That's what makes the hunt for "ISS flares" so much fun.
Sky watchers in North America should be alert for flares this week. The ISS
is making a series of evening passes over many US and Canadian towns and
cities. Flyby times are available from the Simple Satellite Tracker:
http://spaceweather.com/flybys

hometown? Sign up for Space Weather PHONE:

dress up,” sun exposure screenings, heart health and stopping germs from
spreading, to name a few. Marlborough Public Schools will have an
interactive health and wellness exhibit featuring school programs that
encourage healthy children’s activities, such as Safe Routes to School, a
walking-to-school program, and the after-school program, Mission Nutrition.
The Marlborough Fire Department will also be there teaching fire safety and
the Marlborough Recycling Committee will educate residents on recycling. The
day will also feature fun, family-oriented activities such as face painting,
balloon animals, an obstacle course, a trackless train, a deejay, games and
contests. Tours of fire trucks and ambulances are also planned. A barbecue
provided by the Rotary Club of Marlborough will be available for a nominal
cost.
New to this
year’s event is the UMass Memorial Medical Center Trauma Service’s “Mobile
Safety Streets,” and UMass Memorial Health Care’s Ronald McDonald Care
Mobile. Mobile Safety Streets is a traveling exhibit designed to teach
children how to recognize and prevent common safety hazards that can lead to
injuries. Among the skills taught are pedestrian and bicycle safety, street
smarts (for example, recognizing stranger danger and street hazards),
kitchen safety, fire, burn and poisoning prevention, dealing with a gun
found in the home, emergency and disaster preparedness, to name a few.
Another new participant will be Child Protection Resources who will be
providing a free child safety digital fingerprinting and photo
identification.
