Paul Lemieux opened Millbury’s Orange Salon in 2009 after moving to the area and discovering that there weren’t any nearby haircare places for him to continue his career in hairstyling. He admits that he didn’t fully know what he was doing, but he believed in himself and in his plans to build a successful salon.

“It was really a case of jumping off a cliff and having a lot of faith that you’re going to grow those wings,” Lemieux said.

For 12 years, Millbury Street Elementary School second grade teacher, Lauri Walsh, has been running a pajama collection drive to give cozy nighttime apparel to children in need. This year, the school collected 648 pairs of pajamas to be donated to the Catholic Charities of Worcester—a new personal record.

“The whole premise behind it is—kids need a good night’s sleep,” Walsh said. “Not every kid has this loving home… They might be living in a car or a homeless shelter. At least giving them this pair of pajamas that you can feel comfy and cozy in… and you can also get this book from Scholastic.”

Millbury firefighter and Coastal Medical Transportation Services EMT, Myles Hebert (Millbury High class of 2018), was honored on Friday at Saint Vincent Hospital for his work in helping save a man’s life after he displayed signs of a life-threatening stroke at the Hanover Theatre in October.

Hebert also had the unique opportunity of meeting that man once again, and reports that Charles Kingsbury of Paxton looks to be recovering well after he suffered the stroke a few months ago.

“[Reuniting with Charles] is a very good feeling… it’s very warming,” Hebert said. “It reminds me of why I do this job… In EMS, it’s just a harsh reality—you’re not going to save everyone. When you’re able to save a life and reunite with that person, it’s an amazing feeling.”

Meet Millbury High indoor track's newest head coach, Andrew Turco (MHS Class of 2017)!

“I’ve always wanted to be a head coach of a program—be able to put my spin on workouts, and [put] my culture into a high school program,” Turco said. “In the back of my mind, being able to give back to the school that I graduated from and coach there as a head coach has always been something that has intrigued me.”
