Three from Halifax FD graduate
STOW – State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey and Deputy State Fire Marshal Maribel Fournier, acting director of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy (MFA), announced the graduation of 35 recruits from the MFA Call/Volunteer Recruit Firefighter Training Program. The graduates received certificates of completion at a ceremony held this evening at Bridgewater State University.
Three graduates from the Halifax Fire Department are Anjolina Cronshaw, Michael Fryer, and Alec Thompson.
The 35 graduates represent the 16 fire departments of Acushnet, Berkley, Chatham, Dartmouth Fire District 1, Fairhaven, Halifax, Lakeville, Marion, Medway, Plympton, Raynham, Rehoboth, Rochester, Truro, Wareham, and West Bridgewater.
“First responders are on the front lines of any crisis and these newest firefighters are needed now more than ever,” said Deputy State Fire Marshal Fournier, who is the acting MFA director. “The rigorous training they’ve completed provides them with the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to protect their communities safely and effectively.”
The Call/Volunteer Firefighter Recruit Training Program is unique in that it delivers a standard recruit training curriculum, meeting national standards, on nights and weekends to accommodate the schedule of firefighters in suburban and rural areas. Bringing the training closer to firefighters means more can participate and allows them more time to practice training skills with instructors.
The MFA, a division of the Department of Fire Services, has offered the program since 2003. To date, nearly 3,000 call and volunteer recruits have graduated.
Today’s firefighters do far more than fight fires. They train to respond to all types of hazards and emergencies. They are the first ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to Fentanyl overdoses or a gas leak. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice or who has locked himself in a bathroom. They rescue people from stalled elevators and those who are trapped in vehicle crashes. They test and maintain their equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), hydrants, hoses, power tools, and apparatus.
At the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, they learn all these skills and more, including the latest science of fire behavior and suppression tactics, from certified fire instructors.
They also receive training in public fire education, hazardous material incident mitigation, flammable liquids, stress management, and self-rescue techniques. The intensive program involves classroom instruction, physical fitness training, firefighter skills training, and live firefighting practice.
Basic Firefighter Skills
Students receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fire attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fires to multiple-floor or multiple room structural fires.
Graduates have completed 240 hours of training on nights and weekends. Upon successful completion of this program, all students have met the standards of National Fire Protection Association 1001. In addition, they have the ability to become certified to the level of Firefighter I and II and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operations Level by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.

Plympton girls are CYSL Coastal Cup Champions!
BY AMY HEMPEL
SPECIAL TO THE EXPRESS
On Saturday, June 18, the Plympton U12 (under age 12) girls competed in the Coastal Youth Soccer Leagues Coastal Cup Playoffs. The playoffs are made up of the top nine teams across the Coastal Cup level groups, 30 teams total, on the South Shore. The Plympton team consisted of a roster of fifteen girls in grades four, five, and six, coached by John Sullivan, Head Coach; Amy Hempel, Asst. Coach; and Keith Sexton, Asst. Coach.
Plympton placed second in the CC1 division and was the 4th seed in the playoffs.
On Saturday, Plympton played their first game against a very strong Marshfield team that went undefeated all season. Haley Peters scored two goals for Plympton with assists from Alyssa Peters and Norah Sanda.
Marshfield matched Plympton’s goals tying it up at the end of the game with just three minutes remaining, sending the game to overtime. At the end of overtime, the game remained tied and went to penalty shots. Haley Peters and Zoe Sullivan both scored on penalty kicks for Plympton and our goalie, Avery Flynn, held Marshfield to just one goal in overtime giving us the win.
On Sunday, Plympton was back again with a game against a strong Hingham team. Haley Peters scored all three goals with help from Plympton’s midfielders Ava O’Hearn, Izabella Canale, and Delyla Lomba. Plympton won 3-0 and punched their ticket to the finals!
In the finals, Plympton faced an undefeated Duxbury team who only let in 5 goals all season. This Duxbury team had defeated Plympton earlier this year, so Plympton knew it would be a difficult game. As the game began, the Plympton U12 girls set out strong and attacked the Duxbury goalie with everything they had. Avery Flynn scored for Plympton on a corner kick early in the first half and Zoe Sullivan had a breakaway goal at the end of the first half to secure the victory for Plympton.
Plympton’s incredible defense consisting of Adelyn Sexton, Lena Spicuzza, Taylor Hempel, Nora Hickey, and Angel Sarras let nothing by them! This group of players held our opponents to just two goals across all three games!
The teamwork, determination, and heart these girls played with were unmatchable! Congratulations to the Plympton U12 Girls our 2022 CYSL Coastal Cup Champions!

Plympton Fire Department held its annual Fireman’s Sunday June 12 at the Plympton Fire House, led by Department Chaplain Rev. Gary Blume, and included a few words by Fire Chief Stephen Silva, Capt. John Sjostedt, and two prayer readings.
After the remembrance, families who were present enjoyed a small cook out at the fire station.
Brownies and Daisies tend the gardens
The Plympton Girl Scouts combined Brownies and Daisies took over the care and planting of the Plympton community gardens last spring. The gardens are made up of varying perennials such as several types of Daylilies, Bee Balm, Fringed Loosetrife, Dense Blazing Star, and Rose Campion. The troop received donations of annuals to mix in for color and texture from John and Sue DeLuca who own and operate DeLuca Greenhouse in Plympton. They also received compost and expert advice from Vicki Alberti of Schoolhouse Farm in Plympton. This year the girls dedicated a whole bed to several varieties of sunflowers that were purchased from Maeve Kinsman, a Dennett Elementary student, who is fundraising to support Ukraine. She has a Facebook Page, Seeds for Democracy.
There are almost 30 girls in the combined Daisy and Brownie troop. They have created a troop sign up genius where each family chooses a few days to water and weed the gardens over the summer. They will be receiving a community garden badge for their efforts.
Scouting has offered these girls many fun and rewarding opportunities. Recently they helped build the Girl Scouts Bridge to Tomorrow float for the Memorial Day Parade!
Daisy troop leaders are Tara Lorenz and Samantha Hickey. Brownie troop leaders are Jill Medas and Heather Sanda.
Flower & Soul plans June opening
There’s a new guy in town – and he is enthusiastic about opening in Halifax. “I want Flower & Soul to be a part of the community,” Brian Wall said on Friday. His cannabis dispensary is due to open this month and he expects great things.
The building, at 894 Plymouth St., Route 106 in Halifax, has a bright blue and white sign making it hard to miss.
Wall, a finance person, credits the pandemic with part of the impetus to start the business. “We want to educate the customer who is looking for information,” Wall said. All of our Flower clerks will have at least 40 hours of instruction in the products we sell so they can assess what customers want and provide good sales advice as to which products might bring what they want.
Cannabis products range from edibles, concentrates, and flowers to CBD and THC salves and tinctures that deliver relief. Wall said he is all about encouraging small businesses and he buys mainly from small growers with high quality product,
Rich Coward, General Manager and director of operations, said that customer care is paramount at Flower & Soul. On entering the building, clients sign in, are buzzed into the secure area, and are invited to consult with a member of the team.
“Our aim is to provide our communities with the highest quality cannabis products tailored to the needs of each individual we serve. Each soul is unique and deserves a positive cannabis experience.” For those who are familiar with the products and know what they want, they may enter their order at a freestanding kiosk to have it packaged.
There is plenty of parking, and a striking beautiful blue and white interior to Relax Your Mind.
Now it Begins!
The Friday evening, June 3 graduation celebration of Silver Lake Regional High School saw a class full of determination and resilience stride across the stage to accept their diplomas.
The resounding theme of speeches by Class President and Salutatorian Hailey E. Beatrice, Valedictorian Delaney R. Arendt, Vice-president Will P. Canniff, Class Secretary Colleen M. Gabriel, Treasurer Caroline S. Dean, and Historian Stephanie K. Murphy was the obstacles they had overcome and come through stronger and more capable than they ever would have thought.
Class President Beatrice chose resilience, constantly interrupted, and unpredictable, as the words to mark her high school career. Being able to get through a gas leak, school shutting down, a remote year – these made her class stronger. Having met those obstacles, she proclaimed her classmates are “ready for great things.”
Anthony Weber, history teacher and invited faculty member, said through it all the class of 2022 “demonstrated a maturity far beyond your years … setting an example for those who follow.”
Class Valedictorian Delaney R. Arendt, whose brother Lt. Logan Arendt attended graduation through Facetime from his military posting, said, “we have a wealth of high school knowledge to build on… Time, failure, and experience… I learn nothing from an A; failure keeps us humble, motivates you to try harder. And with all the lessons learned at Silver Lake, “I think we’ll be all right.”
Michaela Gill, principal of Silver Lake Regional High School told the class, “Had you asked four years ago I never could have imagined a global pandemic, a worldwide shutdown, an unprecedented national school closing…there is no greater honor than to know that your students are leaving your school as thinkers, entrepreneurs, and leaders.”
Dr. Jill Proulx, Superintendent of Schools, told about her heroes, and being a part of something much bigger than yourselves. She told the class of 2022 to dream big dreams. You can make mistakes and get up. Rejoice in the possibility of a better tomorrow. “In the end we are all stories… make it a good one.”

TRIAD group hears Halifax history
History buff Marc Valentine spoke at the last TRIAD meeting bringing answers to questions you might not have known to ask, such as “Did Buffalo Bill ever come to Halifax?”
He did. The famous frontiersman and showman visited the area on several occasions and the stories were written in The Brockton Enterprise. Buffalo Bill was interested in the Native American artifacts and vistied Sachem Rock.
What is the connection between famous Charles “Lucky” Lindberg and the Town of Halifax?
According to the front page of the Brockton Enterprise dated May 20, 1927, the “Lone Wolf” in his monoplane “The Spirit of St. Louis”was sighted in Halifax, flying a mere 100 feet of the ground, skimming treetops and coming dangerously close to the steeple of the Congregational Church, one of the highest points in Plymouth County at the time.
Residents were looking skyward hoping to catch sight of the plane on its solo flight across the Atlantic to Paris. They weren’t disappointed. In fact many said they could read the tail numbers NX-211. Their cheers and waves of encouragement were rewarded when “Lindy” sent a telegram to the town from Paris thanking them for their spirit.
Valentine, who is also known in the area as the keeper of the huge American flag, is quite a history buff and tells his stories, all documented, to willing listeners.
TRIAD meets in the meeting room of the Halifax Police Station, Route 106, on the first Tuesday of each month, offering speakers with topics of interest. This month’s meeting, June 7, at 10 a.m. will feature the Sheriff of Plymouth Coumty who will tell his audience about the history of the country’s oldest Sheriff’s department and share stories and anecdotes about some of the famous people who have been in custody there, as well as other historical items about the area.
Memorial Day post pandemic
After two years inside it was obviously time to get out and celebrate. Families lined the parade routes, veterans, kids, and adults marched, and solemn words were spoken to honor the fallen and those who served.
When the parade concluded and all the words were said, in Plympton, people went on to a cookout and a Touch A Truck display, both put on by the Plympton Fire Department.
Kingston rolled out the welcome mat and invited all to come celebrate at their post-parade cookout with some of Kingston’s best chefs preparing the food, alongside some well-known Town Hall persons..
Everyone was ready – and the weather couldn’t have been better.
