MIDDLESBORO, KY.—Jamie Coots, a snake-handling Kentucky pastor who appeared on the National Geographic television reality show Snake Salvation, died Saturday after being bitten by a snake.
Coots was handling a rattlesnake during a Saturday night service at his Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name Church in Middlesboro when he was bitten, another preacher, Cody Winn, told WBIR-TV.
"Jamie went across the floor. He had one of the rattlers in his hand, he came over and he was standing beside me. It was plain view, it just turned its head and bit him in the back of the hand … within a second," Winn said.
When an ambulance arrived at the church at 8:30 p.m., they were told Coots had gone home, police said later. Contacted at his house, Coots refused medical treatment.
Emergency workers left about 9:10 p.m. When they returned about an hour later, Coots was dead from a venomous snake bite.
In January 2013, Coots was caught transporting three rattlesnakes and two copperheads. Wildlife officials confiscated the snakes, and Coots pleaded guilty to illegally wildlife possession. He was given one year of unsupervised probation.
Coots said then he needed the snakes for religious reasons, citing a Bible passage in the book of Mark that reads, in part:
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Coots said he took the passage at face value.
"We literally believe they want us to take up snakes," Coots said a year ago. "We've been serpent handling for the past 20 or 21 years."
After he was bitten Saturday night, Coots dropped the snakes, but then picked them back up and continued on. Within minutes, Winn said Coots headed to the bathroom.
His son, Cody, told the television station his dad had been bit eight times before but never had such a severe reaction. Cody Coots said he thought the bite would be just like all the others.
"We're going to go home, he's going to lay on the couch, he's going to hurt, he's going to pray for a while and he's going to get better. That's what happened every other time, except this time was just so quick and it was crazy, it was really crazy," Cody Coots said.
In 1995, 28-year-old Melinda Brown, of Parrottsville, Tenn., died after being bitten at Coot's church by a 1.5-metre timber rattlesnake.
Her relatives disputed accounts that the mother of five had been holding the snake that bit her and disagreed with witnesses who said she refused medical treatment while she suffered the effects of the venom for two days at Coots' home.
The county attorney wanted to prosecute under a 1942 state law that made it illegal to handle or display snakes during religious services. But the judge refused to sign the criminal complaint.
"If the court thought that a trial would act to deter future snake handling in church, my decision would be different," Judge James Bowling wrote. "But you and I both know that this practice is not going to stop until either rattlesnakes or snake handlers become extinct."

First of all, I would like to wish all my readers Happy New Year 2013 and may we will be able to gain more of good things this year.
Well, just recently I was very pleased to see an Iban couple wore Iban traditional costume for their wedding at a long house in Saratok, Sarawak. I did mentioned at my previous post about Mr. Josh Angga's ngepan collection and this time around on 28 December 2012, his cousin got married and wore his collection both for Iban man and woman costume.
Looking at the photo it reminded me of my own wedding also wearing the traditional iban costume for our reception on 28 April 2012 at the Fourpoints Sheraton Hotel instead of our longhouse.
Be it in a hotel or a longhouse I must say I am very glad to see more young couples are now bold enough to wear their traditional costumes.
I believe it is also paying respect to their Iban culture and this is one of the ways that will ensure the continuity of our culture. Here's the link to my wedding held in Kuching 28 April 2013.
Nowadays more and more Iban wedding planners and costumes owners promote Iban costumes for weddings...A good initiative in order to preserve our culture rather than wearing the common evening gown and suits...have an open mind, believe me wearing your ngepan Iban or your ethnic costumes can make a difference in your wedding reception and photos too :)

The line to get into Hudson Terrace wound halfway around the block last Tuesday. Singles, philandering philanthropists and semisocialites gathered for a party to benefit the Special Olympics. An overly fastidious bouncer was letting in guests at a painful trickle as the sun began to sink over the nearby Intrepid.
Finally, making it past the vigilant sentry, The Observer walked up the three flights of stairs to the roof deck. An unlikely crowd had gathered, sipping beer and lounging on deck furniture. "What do you think about the cause?" we asked a group. "What cause? We're here for the beer," one young lady informed us. Slightly taken aback, we inquired with a couple, only to receive the same confused refrain. Perplexed by the cavalier attitude, we approached a waitress, only to learn that the Special Olympics party was in fact one floor below.
Downstairs, a decidedly dressier (if perhaps not much more refined) group had gathered to support the Junior Committee of the Special Olympics. Throngs of Ivy Leaguers rubbed against one another in a rush to get a drink. "Can I get a gin and tonic? Fuck!" muttered one disgruntled young lady in an lovely evening gown. Meanwhile, a fresh-faced lad on the other side of the bar handed the overwhelmed barman a $50 bill, placed his order and was served. (Lesson learned.)
Those in the crowd—so similar in aspect to one another as to give the impression of a Dalton class reunion—could barely hear themselves speak over the blaring speakers. Never the need, it turned out. They were all talking about the same things, anyway: the previous weekend in the Hamptons, the market and college sports. Only a few, however, had anything to say on the subject of the Special Olympics.
We approached an athletic looking group of young men and asked why they had decided to attend the event. "I love the Special Olympics. I also like to donate," said a recent Trinity College graduate. "We like to give back to the community," his friend added. We asked if they had placed bids on any of the auction items. "No. I donated way too much money when I came in," the first said, flatly.
Another guest offered even less explanation. "This is the Special Olympics event, right?I heard this was a good event, so I had to come. I got the last vodka drink," he said with a coy smile.
"Actually my dad was a volunteer at the Special Olympics for the ski races," one reveler told The Observer. "So he was like, 'Absolutely go and bid on whatever … ' in his name," the young man added.
Some, however, did have a personal connection to the cause. "A buddy of ours, who we went to college with, his younger brother has Down syndrome," said Pierce, a former college lacrosse player now living in New York. "We played at Cornell, and his younger brother was by our side on the field every day," he said.
The outdoor space was filled with guests who schmoozed, smoked and yelled over one another. "And I woke up with, like, a $600 bar tab!" one well-dressed man yelled merrily "And what do you think about one-night stands?" another shouted. A passing banker asked if we were Jewish before telling us that we gave off a warm energy. We thanked him.
One guest, a friend of a Junior Committee member, double fisted beers and bragged about his nearby pal. "This guy, he's like big time now. He lives out in Greenwich, he's big time. He's a member of a country club and everything," the man said of his blushing acquaintance.
Inside, guests diligently placed bids on auction items, until Junior Committee members swooped in and collected the clipboards. Cruises, signed sports paraphernalia, Upper West Side spa packages and VIP Fashion Week tickets all disappeared from the auction block, finding happy homes with the charitable guests.
People sat around the red-leather couches, catching up with private-school friends (they really did all seem to know one another), availing themselves of liquid refreshment. A midlevel panic broke out as guests learned that the vodka had run dry. "They're out of vodka!" one guest yelled, drunkenly overcompensating for the loud music. We recommended he try the bar outside. He scurried off, only to return two minutes later. "They're out of vodka there too!" he said, distressed.
As the evening concluded, the deejay catered to the older among the guests, playing hits from the '90s. The touch-of-gray crowd hit the dance floor, letting loose as the emcee announced that the party was soon ending. Finance types fist pumped to the music, drinks in hand, undaunted.
The clock struck 11, the lights went up and the music was cut. Punch-drunk guests continued to talk loudly, apparently unaware that the D.J. had finished his set. We walked down the steep staircase, hoping to beat the rowdy crowd to the cabs below.

July concert guide: Mayhem Festival, Lady Gaga, Kiss
The Mayhem Festival, Lady Gaga, Kiss, a Motley Crue farewell tour, Austin Mahone and Dierks Bentley are among the higher-profile concerts hitting metro Phoenix in July. Here's a look at those marquee events and a number of smaller highlights chosen more because they might be brilliant.
READ: Summer Concert Guide: The Main Events
READ: Summer Concert Guide: The Critic's Picks
7/2: The Donkeys
They won best rock band in 2012 at the San Diego Music Awards. And that was well before they'd hit the streets (or possibly the surf) with this year's model, "Ride the Black Wave," a gently rocking postcard from the California coast with proper surf guitars and Hammond B-3 organ completing the picture on "The Manx," a timeless instrumental. Other highlights range from haunted, organ-driven indie-folk (see "Sunny Daze") to old-school country-rock (the aptly titled "I Heart Alabama").
Details: 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 2. Yucca Tap Room, 29 W. Southern Ave., Tempe. Free. 480-967-4777, yuccatap.com.
7/3: Phillip Phillips
The American Idol will headline the fourth annual Independence Day Music Festival, which also promises the "largest fireworks show in metro Phoenix." Since winning "American Idol" in 2012, Phillips has released a platinum debut, "The World from the Side of the Moon," a success fueled in part by the five-times-platinum breakthrough of his "Idol" coronation single, "Home." A second single, "Gone, Gone, Gone," also went platinum.
READ: Phillip Phillips Q&A
Details: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 3. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, 7555 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale. $20-$40. 888-490-0383, ticketmaster.com.
7/5: Chris Schlarb
A multi-instrumentalist who has worked with Mike Watt, Sufjan Stevens and Dave Longstreth of Dirty Projectors, Schlarb is touring on "Making the Saint," a meditative, improvisatory headphone album he recorded in a cabin in the mountains. PopMatters responded with, "It is indeed an unrushed, introspective piece of work — not music for a bright sunny Sunday, but perfect for a Sunday during a meditation retreat in a haunted monastery."
Details: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 5. Trunk Space, 1506 N.W. Grand Ave., Phoenix. 602-256-6006, thetrunkspace.com.
7/8: Wye Oak
This indie-folk duo worked up a pretty good buzz for "Civilians," with the A.V. Club declaring it best album of 2011 and the title track being used in the trailer for the second season of "The Walking Dead."
Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 8. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $19; $16 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/9: Kiss and Def Leppard
Rock and roll all night with the members of Kiss as they celebrate both their 40th anniversary and their long-delayed induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.They'll be joined by Def Leppard, who ruled the rock-radio landscape in their '80s prime with such headbanging hook-fests as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," "Foolin'," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Armageddon It" and the power ballad that landed them at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100, "Love Bites."
Details: 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 9. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $29.50-$159.50. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/10: Boz Scaggs
Having launched his career with a two-year stint in the Steve Miller Band, Scaggs made his first appearance on the U.S. album charts with a self-titled album in 1969. It was seven years later, though, that Scaggs' invasion of the mainstream hit the fast track with the five-times-platinum "Silk Degrees," the soft-rock classic that gave the world "It's Over," "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown."
Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, July 10. Talking Stick Resort, 9800 E. Indian Bend Road, Salt River Reservation. $60-$125. 480-850-7734, talkingstickresort.com.
7/10: S. Carey
The Bon Iver drummer earned raves in 2010 for his solo debut, "All We Grow," which the BBC Music reviewer declared "the ultimate headphone album." This year's model, "Range of Light," is, like its predecessor, best enjoyed on headphones, allowing Carey's richly textured sense of haunted atmosphere to seep into your dreams, a fragile blend of post-rock, jazz and Steve Reich worship with choir-like vocal arrangements and indie-folk levels of intimacy.
Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, July 10. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $15; $12 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/11: Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival
The heaviest lineup of the summer features Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Asking Alexandria, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Suicide Silence, Body Count, Miss May I, Emmure, Mushroomhead, Texas Hippie Coalition, Veil of Maya, Upon a Burning Body, Darkest Hour, Ill Nino, Wretched, Islander, King 810 and Erimha.
Details: 1 p.m. Friday, July 11. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $29.50-$79.50. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/12: Cloud Nothings
Their self-titled 2011 release rocked with plenty of promise, but Cloud Nothings really came into their own on 2012's "Attack on Memory," an explosive assault on the senses produced by Steve Albini, a man whose reputation rests on capturing this sort of racket. And this year's "Here and Nowhere Else" should speak directly to anyone who came on board with that 2012 release without necessarily surpassing it.
Details: 8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 12. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $15; $12 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/13: Chevelle
These alt-metal veterans named their second album "Wonder What's Next" and then became the answer when three singles from that platinum breakthrough hit the mainstream-rock and modern-rock charts, including "The Red" and "Send the Pain Below," which went to No. 1 on both charts. They've gone on to top the mainstream-rock charts three more times since then, with 2004's "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)," 2011's "Face to the Floor" and this year's "Take Out the Gunman."
Details: 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 13. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $33. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.
7/13: Destruction Unit
These local rockers set the tone for last year's aptly titled "Deep Trip" with a hail of feedback and reverb-saturated noise guitar before following through on that promise with an album's worth of reckless rock and roll that effectively blurred the lines between Stooge-y garage punk and post-Sabbath stoner rock.
Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, July 13.Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $10; $8 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/14: Yellow Ostrich
These Brooklyn indie rockers caught the ear of Barsuk Records while touring 2011's "The Mistress." This year's "Cosmos" is their second effort on the Barsuk imprint, named for Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" and following through on occasion by drifting into space-rock territory but fleshing out that sense of atmosphere with meaty pop hooks and gritty distorted guitar.
Details: 8 p.m. Monday, July 14. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $14; $12 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/15: Steely Dan
Jazz-loving slick-pop perfectionists Donald Fagen and Walter Becker topped some of the '70s most sophisticated pop recordings with cryptic, often bookishly ironic lyrics. And yet, they managed to be wildly popular -- while almost never touring! -- thanks to singles as indelible as "Do It Again," "Reelin' in the Years," "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," "Peg" and "Hey Nineteen."
Details: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 15. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $48-$128. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/17: Rakim
This hip-hop veteran earned the right to call himself an icon when he and Eric B. dropped 1986's "Eric B. Is President," a debut single Rolling Stone looked back on in its latest album guide as "one of the two or three biggest moments in hip-hop." Then they followed through with one of rap's first full-length masterpieces, "Paid in Full." Rakim's latest solo release is 2009's "The Seventh Seal," to which a Mojo reviewer responded, "He sounds as raw and vital as ever."
Details: 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $15-$25. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com.
7/17: Antlers
The Brooklyn indie rockers drew raves in 2009 for a concept album titled "Hospice" that told the story of a hospice worker, a female patient with terminal bone cancer and the romance that ensues between them. And they kept the critical consensus in their corner while taking a less conceptual approach to bumming everybody out with Peter Silberman's eerie post-Thom Yorke falsetto on their next release.
Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, July 17. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $20; 17 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/17: A Sunny Day in Glasgow
They're not from Scotland, as the name suggests, although the name was dreamed up by a former member who did live in Glasgow at one point, so there's that. Theirs is an echo-laden brand of indie-pop, both dreamy and melodic. This year's "Sea When Absent," their fourth full-length release, brought home a rave from Pitchfork, whose critic noted: " 'Sea When Absent' has the quality of one of those spectacularly bright summer days when the color in everything seems a little over-saturated, and it induces the same dizzy, woozy feeling you get after staring directly at the sun."
Details: 9 p.m. Thursday, July 17. Last Exit Live, 717 S. Central Ave., Phoenix. $10; $8 in advance. 602-171-7000, lastexitlive.com.
7/18: Summer West Fest
The Game headlines this hip-hop bill, which also stars E-40, DJ Quik and Mack 10. It's been nine years since the Game released "The Documentary." And his biggest hits remain that double-platinum debut's 50 Cent-assisted breakthrough singles "How We Do" and "Hate It or Love It." But "Jesus Piece," his latest album, suggests that he's still in the game. The first single released from the album, "Celebration," went Top 40 on the R&B charts and Top 20 on the rap charts, thanks in part to guest appearances by Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne and Tyga. And "The Documentary 2" is due in January.
Details: 8 p.m. Friday, July 18. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $47-$93. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com.
7/19: Motley Crue/Alice Cooper
The rock-and-roll history books are full of occasions in which artists stage a big farewell tour, make a ton of money, then go on to do another tour. Or two. Or three. But the guys of Motley Crue have signed a cessation-of-touring agreement. So legally speaking, they're screwed if they decide they want more money. That makes this the last chance you will ever have to see the Crue in Phoenix. But go for the opener. Really. The legendary Cooper promises a full theatrical production, which we rarely get to see here in the Valley because, apparently, there's no room for a guillotine at Christmas Pudding.
Details: 7 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $25-$125. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/19: Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo
A four-time Grammy winner, Benatar broke through on the eve of the '80s with "Heartbreaker," following through with hits as big as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Treat Me Right," "Shadows of the Nights," "Love is a Battlefield" and "We Belong." Rick Springfield, a pop-rocking soap star whose "Working Class Dog" also featured guitar by Giraldo, opens.
Details: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $35-$75, 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/19: Chris Isaak
He's worn his share of hats since "Wicked Game" turned up in David Lynch's "Wild at Heart." He's been a talk-show host, a sitcom star, a SWAT commander in "The Silence of the Lambs," No. 68 on of VH1's list of sexiest artists and a singer whose music continues to embody the qualities that made his early records so evocative. Last year's "Beyond the Sun" found him covering the best Sun Records had to offer (Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and more).
Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, 5040 Wild Horse Pass Blvd., Gila River Reservation. $57-$99. 800-946-4452, wingilariver.com.
7/23: The Go-Go's
The Go-Go's gave us any number of the spunkiest pop singles of the New Wave era. And few eras have been spunkier. Just consider the hits: "Our Lips Are Sealed," "We Got the Beat," "Vacation" and "Head Over Heels," to name the biggest and the best. Or dust off "Beauty and the Beat," a debut that offsets the charms of its chewiest pop hook with edgier moments of relative darkness (see "Lust to Love," in particular). You'll fall head over heels in love with effervescent girl-group pop hooks all over again.
Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 23. Talking Stick Resort, 9800 E. Indian Bend Road, Salt River Reservation. $60-$150. 480-850-7734, talkingstickresort.com.
7/24: The Voice Tour
The stars of NBC's hit reality show, plus a few choice former contestants, will perform. Along with this season's winner, Josh Kaufman, and runners-up Christina Grimmie and Jake Worthington, you can hear last season's highlights, including champ Tessanne Chin and runners-up Jacquie Lee and Will Champlin. Rounding out the list is season one finalist Dia Frampton.
Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 24. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. 602-379-2800, livenation.com.
7/24: Lyle Lovett
A whole new brand of country outlaw, Lovett has recorded 13 albums, consistently pushing the boundaries of country with the sort of airplay that approach would tend to generate ("Cowboy Man," his highest entry on the country charts, hit No. 10) . He's won four Grammys, though, including best male country vocal performance and best country album.
Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 24. Mesa Arts Center, 1 E. Main St. $48-$78. 480-644-6500, mesaartscenter.com.
7/25: Boston
Among the biggest-selling rock releases of the '70s, Boston's self-titled debut went 17-times-platinum while spinning off "More Than a Feeling," "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind." The hits kept coming two years later with a second, remarkably similar-sound effort, the seven-times-platinum "Don't Look Back." Then, after spending eight years on the followup, they topped the charts again with the quadruple-platinum "Third Stage," which spawned their biggest, most annoying hit, "Amanda." Those early songs are great. "Amanda?" Not so much.
Details: 8 p.m. Friday, July 25. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $35-$95. 602-379-2800, livenation.com.
7/25: Tori Amos
Thirteen albums down the road from "Little Earthquakes," Amos hit the charts at No. 7 earlier this year with "Unrepentant Geraldines," a return to pop (or what passes for pop in the world of Tori Amos) after focusing more on the classical side of her musical interests for a string of albums. It brought home a rave from the A.V Club, whose critic said that while her classic forays can feel labored over, this one "has a lightness—and even creative joy—that makes it a thoroughly enjoyable listen."
Details: 8 p.m. Friday, July 25. Mesa Arts Center, 1 E. Main St. $35-$85. 480-644-6500, mesaartscenter.com.
7/26: Dierks Bentley
This local-country-boy-made-good found success after moving to Nashville in the '90s. Five of Bentley's seven studio releases have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart, including this year's model, "Riser," which spawned the Top 5 country hit "I Hold On." Bentley calls this tour "the culmination of everything I've been working on for the past two years, both out on the road and in the studio." And he intends to give the people what he knows they want, he says — "a kick-ass show, an affordable ticket and a good parking-lot scene to get the pre-game going."
Details: 7 p.m. Saturday, July 26. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $29.25-$54. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.
7/26: Peter Murphy
Well, he was the voice of Bauhaus, a chapter Murphy celebrated in high gothic fashion on last year's Mr. Moonlight Tour, pegged the 35th anniversary of Bauhaus' birth. But this year, he's touring a 10th solo album that effortlessly lives up to his legacy – to such an extent that the critic for Magnet called it "Murphy's most enraged, engaged and engaging album."
Details: 8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $20; $100 VIP. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
7/28: Dead Rider
These Chicago-based experimental rockers were assembled by U.S. Maple guitarist Todd Rittmann. They're touring in support of "Chills on Glass," a Drag City recording that pulled in raves from Dusted magazine, Alternative Press and Blurt, whose critic noted: " 'Chills on Glass' may be rock viewed sideways, through a cracked mirror, after 48 hours without sleep, but it is till the recognizable thing. As such, it fits uncomfortably into the places you've made for rock, jarring you even as it feeds you."

Behind the scenes of the Instrumental Music Department is the Marina Band Booster Club. Even though "band" is the prominent name, ALL involved in our activities are under this umbrella.
The Booster Club helps provide financial help and hands on support to our students.
Every family who has a student in our program is automatically a member of the Booster Club.
The board meets monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of each month, for about an hour. All are welcome to attend the meeting.
Nominations and election of the new board happens in April and May. No board position is horribly difficult or time-consuming.
If your teenager plays an instrument or tosses a flag, you should become an active parent. Don't wait! These years really will fly by.
Click the "Calendar" tab and put the booster meetings in your calendar – you are needed!

According to the latest reports from the U.S. Drought Monitor and the U.S. Geological Survey, our area is in a severe drought.
On July 8, the MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs sent out a press release declaring a drought watch and advisory. "Residents and businesses need to heed water use restrictions and take steps to fix leaks and limit non-critical water use to assure adequate supplies for health and safety in the coming months." Read the entire press release.
What can you do to help?
- Take shorter showers. Use a kitchen timer if you need a reminder.
- Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when completely full.
- Fix leaky faucets. Small leaks waste hundreds of gallons of water a month.
- Stop watering your lawn and let it go dormant. Let's save our water for public health and safety.
- Follow the Town of Sharon watering restrictions.
- Upgrade to water efficient toilets, clothes washers, showerheads, and faucets.
- Be more water efficient.
