Northborough- Northborough and Southborough teens have a new option for outdoor adventure, called Venture Crew 11. This unit is different from other Boy and Girl Scouts in town because it is co-ed, and its core focus is adventure and even high-adventure. Venture Crew 11 activities include sailing, canoeing, zip lining, backpacking, or whatever the crew decides to tackle. Jeffrey Somers, of Northborough, along with McKinley Hackett, of Southborough, came up with the idea at a BSA training event last year. The two got to talking and found that they had similar situations with daughters in high school who were interested in doing a variety of outdoor activities, and were looking for an organization that would provide that. They then formed a group of like-minded adults and teenagers and have reformed Crew 11 Venture as a joint Northborough/Southborough unit.

Southborough/Northborough - For 2010 Algonquin Regional High School graduate Dayna Altman, heading off to Providence College to pursue a degree in social work brought excitement and eager anticipation. Being a perfectionist, though, it was not long before the pressure of school and the desire to excel in every area caused her to feel out of control. Like many young women, Altman turned to food as her source of control. She began actively restricting her food intake.
