FINALLY! Here it is, bloggers!
Rec Rag 4th Edition - Summer 2011
Can you believe it is the last day of our summer 2011 program? Time flies when you are having fun. Since this is the last edition of the Rec Rag, we are trying to recap as much dirt, important info, etc. related to our staff as possible.
Margaret Hall has turned into a kickboxing fanatic and took Jocelyn C. to a class. Jocelyn won’t go back anytime soon. Ali A., Andrew P., and Katie H. went on a lunch date after park, but Ali and Katie may have forgotten to mention to Andrew that they were going to DQ after to get free ice cream from Corey M. Marc B. had a fun time pretending to be a king with Brendan L. at Monica C.’s house. Kenny P. skipped the last trivia day for some alone time with the GF. Justin G. could not stop putting the moves on the hostess at Applebees and was spotted walking her to her car. Kayla D. us now familiar with the roads of Lawrence after so many trips in two weeks. Congrats on getting your permit. Meg B. and Corey M. had a great ½ day at Crane’s Beach and had a fabulous drive in the “death cage” or “jail bus”. Anna J. showed that Bruce’s Panther Athletic Zone worked out well because she survived her first summer with the Rec. Dept. Alex M. and Jake S. ran a great 5K during Homecoming week, but Jake Stokes pulled out the win in the end for the Rec. Dept. team. Matt M. also ran a good race considering he hasn’t worked out since April. What’s Brewin’ has become the most popular site of the Rec Dept. Janessa B., Monica C., Robbie D., and Kristina L. are spotted there almost daily by Jocelyn C. (who has a drink named for her). Ryan M. stopped to pick up Ryan L. and drive him to rangering after Cranes. What a nice guy! Tim A. thinks there are 6 states in New England. Looks like he could receive some tutoring from Corey M. Rachel F. and Collette F. were seen duking it out trying to see who could have friends over. So sad for Aaron S. and Kate S. who were already there and had to change plans. Jocelyn R. has a nice house-warming gathering. Everyone loved her dog Seguin and his sharp teeth. Bill B. and Matt M. are gonna miss driving with each other during the year. Luckily Bill was there to assist Monica C. with an angry parent whose child wasn’t going to Cranes. Matt M., hope you have a cool, awesome, without a doubt, for sure year to come.
Marco had fun turning the LUV into a beach party. He also escorted his grandmother, who was working some great bedazzled crocs. Regan and Meghan N. loved the nice ride. Stef h. and Meghan had a great time planning their director day. Everything went so smoothly, and they beat the lifeguards to the beach. Bethany M. is such a great counselor. She is willing to check pull-ups at a moments notice. Katie L. chases softballs as if they are butterflies, however she is rumored to be better at softball than her sister Sarah. Skev’s sister divulged the secret that Skev is the actual voice for the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Dan C., who celebrated 2 birthdays this summer, likes to think of himself as Babe Ruth and was seen hitting homeruns out of Obear Park. Hayley M. was seen gazing into Connor’s eyes at trivia. Everyone got to see how cute Joclyn B. and Nicole B. were back in the day when Jenna passed around one of her pictures from the past at the CIT bash. Nick D. likes to work the room while doing karaoke to “Semi-Charmed Kind of Life.”
Sam Sto., Sarah L., and Collette F. were again trying to perfect their “Lady Marmalade” act at karaoke. Too bad J.C. has to wait until next summer to perform her Jay-Cee act. Kristina L. received a great insult from a camper the other day. Sarah L. used to make homemade cookies to suck up to people but now she just settles for Dunkin Donuts for the rest of the Jr. staff. Sam Sta. has great fashion sense with his colorful vest. Look out Tim Gunn! Kelsey F. has been a good third wheel for Marco and Regan this summer. He has continuously showed up late at trivia and sat with the lovely couple. Max M. showed off his driving skills by successfully making it to Obear with the mini golf course in his truck.
What will Sam Sto. do when she is at college, after being in the habit of waiting for a wake-up call from Tim everyday all summer? Cassie P. couldn’t avoid the plunge into the water at Cranes, as the guys were fighting over who could throw her in. Poor Jackie R., lost in the eyes of Kris M., tripped over a child while skating to Lady GaGa.
Ryan L. admitted why he has walked home from so many shifts as night ranger: he didn’t know how to dial out from the office phone. Scott B., alias “eagle eye”, was watching for anyone putting things into coolers during homecoming and subbing for other staff members. Just a word to the wise, don’t call Will “Willy!” Josh has trouble turning off the radio while trying to talk over the radio. Jeremy S., who has a soft spot for the song “Hey Jude, “ loved going to Canobie and Cranes.
The lifeguards never had to save anyone this summer. Ben C., Pat W., and Peter T. have made a fashion statement with their “short shorts Fridays.” They could have tried to save our eyes from the sight of them, however.
We wish Emily W. well at her new job down south and wish all the other guards much success in their sports and academics. They are in love with the rangers since they never have to bring their equipment down to the beach.
We hope you all have a great year at school, work or just bumming around. Thanks for all your hard work. Until next summer…

Summer Rec Rag #3
Homecoming Week is almost at a close and that means... another Rec Rag! Enjoy, there's only one left! AHHHH!
Rec Rag 3rd Edition - Summer 2011
Wow, session 3 has come and gone. Two weeks of summer 2011 to go. It has been a busy two weeks since we last put out the Rec Rag. Inquiring eyes and ears have been checking for any possible “dirt.” We really want to include everyone in the last edition, even if we have to make up things.
The Lip Sync was a success, even if it was the first time there was a rain delay. Parents got familiar with each other in the “circus tent.” Staff got to really know their campers and playground kids. Hopefully everyone had put on plenty of deodorant prior to the event. Kayla D. stayed in the background for the first time during the Lip Sync Extravaganza. Robbie D. and Monica C. aged about 59 years waiting for the Lip Sync to continue. Corey M. and Megan B. were very serious on stage, trying to remember all the correct moves. Sam S. and Ryan L. proved to be a great team by putting on a great performance with their kids, even though Ryan had rejected a perfectly fine cup of hot coffee from her earlier in the week. Tim Mc. certainly didn’t reject the French congratulations from Sam S. when he found out he was hired for a job. Matt M. received a sweet thank you smooch after delivering Jocelyn C. a chicken kabob salad. Newbie Ryan M. has been seen flirting with Janessa B. Later that evening Bill was asked to leave the P.O. to change into another shirt. Speaking of the P.O., Kris M. let his hair down and was dancing very closely with Sarah L. Tim and Sam St. remind Kris M. of Brendon and Rachel from Big Brother. Tim took his intense dance moves to the floor doing the “Dougie” along with Jackie R. and many other staff members.
The Adventure Camp staff survived a stormy trip to Six Flags. Matt M. may never volunteer to chaperone again. Tim picked a good one to injure his ankle for the 10th time this summer. If anyone sees him without a brace on, please yell at him. Jackie R. embarrassed herself by mistaking her sister Jocelyn for Joscelyn R.K. on the phone and giving her the cold shoulder and talking to her in an anything-but-friendly tone. Cassie continues to behave herself and not do anything newsworthy… or hasn’t been caught yet. Oh, this just in… there is dirt on her. Tim and Kris couldn’t stop crying after laughing so hard watching Cassie and Jackie jumping into the Ipswich River. Although the water was only 3 feet deep, they continued to struggle to prevent their lovely pedicured feet from touching the bottom. The part they underestimated was how thick the seaweed or “river weed” was, which was pulling them down like quicksand. They literally spent 10 minutes not knowing what to do. Cassie was also excited to go to the Red Sox game with the A.C. staff and seeing Jacoby hit a walk-off homerun. She and Jackie also asked if “mounding” was allowed… they’re most certainly pink hats.
The Tykes staff continues to work hard singing songs, eating snack, and looking for hermit crabs. A little Tyker has learned how to do faux painting this session. They were also amused that a child could not say his last name. Even Katie L. knows that since she has her emergency card. Skev, ever the concerned director and citizen, in general, has been concerned about the health status of the Trivia Man. If anyone has any information, please let him know. Marco continues to suck up to Gail to try to get a raise by bringing her homemade pasta and soup. Ryan L. was overheard mentioning that he wanted to surprise Meghan N. with an ice cream; but don’t tell her.
ACME staff members have been pretty low-key the past two weeks. Dan C. revealed the secret that he is not a confident swimmer by wearing a life preserver while in the dunk tank. Hayley M. proved she is brave enough to conquer the “burning skin” Alpine Slide unscathed, as well as the Mountain Coaster at Attitash. Everyone is waiting to see how Connor M. looks after having his wisdom teeth out…probably less scary than he looked at the Luau. The beard might hide the swelling and bruising.
The lifeguards have had difficulty with one physical exercise each morning: bringing equipment to the beach. They are saving their energy for their sports tryouts in a few weeks. Too bad none of them are studying to be taxidermists, since a dead seagull and “bunnycat” were found on the beach. Maybe it’s a good idea that they don’t rake the beach every (or any) day. Who knows what else they would find.
The rangers are causing problems, as usual. Will M., who needs to go to the Y with Tim and Sam S. was seen struggling to bring up a tool box of medical supplies that was as long as he is tall. Will also received a scolding from a “senior employee” for “trashing” Jocelyn C. on the radio. Molly F. and Ryan M. are still looking everywhere for the naked person on the beach. Josh, crying in a corner, was seen receiving kisses on his boo-boo from young people in red shirts. Friends With Benefits has proven to be a popular movie this week. Scott B., with a mystery date, saw Joclyn B. Jocelyn C., Mike C., and Matt M. heard Sam Stan. laughing in the crowd and saw him “macking” later with his G.F.

Summer Rec Rag #2
BREAKING NEWS - Someone abandoned a cat at Lynch Park, so we now have a mascot. Meet Panther, who is residing in Bruce's office until we find a good home for this healthy, friendly, 5 year old male cat. Anyone want a nice cat?
Rec Rag 2nd Edition - Summer 2011
Well, we have reached the half-way mark of our summer program. We were able to dig up some more dirt on some of our staff. Remember, it is our goal to include every Bev. Rec. staff member in one of our publications.
Park attendance has continued to increase and will most likely stay in the high numbers with the anticipation of the annual Lip Sync Extravaganza, which is not a competition… right Adventure Camp? Matt Mc. looks like he is a character in “Driving Miss Daisy,” being chauffeured to the parks by Bill each day. One day he seemed a bit surprised when he received a “bikini text” meant for “another guy”. He did appreciate it, though. Bill is working his way up to being a guest choreographer for “So, You Think You Can Dance.” Speaking of personal service with a smile, Will M. has a personal driver in Jocelyn C., who picks him up from park each day. A secret was recently revealed regarding Matt M.’s sleeping habit… of occasionally sleeping on the floor. Ryan Lane wants everyone to know that he is the perfect prototype for the male physique. All along we thought it was Kris M! Justin G. has a little competition of his own going on, as he challenged an Adventure Camper to a magic duel. Maybe we will see this at the next special event. At the Cartoon Catastrophe everyone was lucky enough to see Ryan L. (perfect male prototype) and Sam S. awkwardly slow dance. Corey M. looked beautiful as Jasmine. Will Mc. had some great tights.
Sarah L.’s name came up a few times this week. One time someone asked why her name is usually included in a sentence related to Cat Woman. In fact, we do have the perfect cat for her if she wants. Hopefully someone will adopt it. Some do have a question for Sarah: “Were you texting Max M. while he was leaving trivia the other night?” Fellow Acme Jr. instructor, Jenna J., was spotted in Target preparing her outfit for the special event.
Dan C. probably wasn’t too thrilled to have the Director title when his alarm “malfunctioned.” Connor looked excited as he wore the “Accidental Tourist” camera around his neck and directed his kids to the next station. Nargaret showed their ambition to be future members of Blue Man Group.
The Tykes have been making emergency cards… and that includes instructor Katie L., who made one to remember her address, phone number, and directions on what to dial for 911. Skev, in between running from crafts, the beach, and setting up sprinklers, revealed his itinerary for his romantic Vermont weekend getaway. We have copies in the office, if anyone is interested. The happy couple has enjoyed fishing for stripers and watching the latest Harry Potter movie at the IMAX in Reading. Alyssa C., who has worked at all the camps except Adventure, was asked out by a 4 yr. old.
It was revealed that newbie Jeremy S. and Aaron S. are cousins, although they don’t exchange presents when they see each other on Christmas. Jeremy had a special female friend join him for lunch. Josh M. is back and hasn’t stopped painting since he returned. He paints so slow that he never gets any on himself. Jocelyn C’s backside showed that she really gets into the paint.
Kris M. does seem to be in better shape to keep up with his younger male sidekick. Jackie R. was seen dancing with 2 guys at Rockefellers. Tim, a.k.a. Cinderella, was anything but happy having to move Sam S. car the other day. Kris M. said leaving the group will negatively affect his evaluation.
Hope everyone stays cool over the next few days and get ready for the 2nd half of summer.

Summer Rec Rag #1
When the sun is blazin and the summer gets hot, your Bev Rec blogger is too busy to write. Here is the first of 4 summer Rec Rags, so you can catch up on the gossip. Another will be out shortly.
Many thanks to Jocelyn Cassola and Joshie Melanson (he's baaaack!) for co-authoring the summer Rec Rags! And thanks to the whole staff for their submissions.
Oh, and the last poll indicated that Will McAuliffe will be the counselor of the week for week one. Will is awesome, but is the poll accurate? Let's check the Rag and make sure. I suspect that the Skevster still has more mentions...
Rec Rag Edition 1 - 2011
Summer is upon us. It is time to start living the dream!! Welcome back to all the veterans and good luck to the newbies. Two weeks have passed and now it is time for another edition of the Rec Rag. For all of you newbies the Rec Rag is a gossip and informational bi-weekly column…we have been compared to People Magazine… get the picture.
Time for some off-season news. It is a huge surprise that the office is still standing. Ranger Connor reported a “branch” fell on the roof of the office. This “branch” took down our chimney with it and was actually half of a tree. Thanks Connor for your wonderful reporting skills. For all of you that have not heard Skev raving about the infamous Leslie, it has been confirmed that she is real and was sited at the park last Sunday with Skev getting her tan on. It has also been rumored that he is planning a weekend getaway for them… sounds like it’s getting serious. On the topic of weekend getaways, Sam Stokes and Tim McAuliffe went on a short trip to New Jersey because Sam missed Ronnie so much since the last time she saw him. Rumor is that Sam Stokes might be changing her name to Sammi Sweetheart in the near future.
Speaking of couples there are still some Rec couples going strong. This year we have Josh M and Molly F, Matt M and Jocelyn C, Marco E and Regan G, Sam Stokes and Tim M, Kelsey F and Ben C and last but not least Corinne W and Peter T. Rec love is in the air. <3 No wonder it was so hard to make so many camp placements this year based on that list. Sarah Lane has been missing out on the Rec Romance and was heard asking, “why can’t I mate with a goat? What if I was blind and didn’t know?” Sorry Sarah we don’t have any goats on staff, but Molly F was seen sporting some nice new Zebra print shorts.
We welcome in all of our new staff members. One that is sticking out in our minds is our new Ranger Scott Blanchette. He has been seen driving around with the gate box on top of his car and has spent a lot of time chasing dumpsters down hills. Jocelyn C has hopped on board as the new Head Ranger. Bruce has been irritable lately, I wonder if it is because Jocelyn has been slacking in the food department.
Special events have been going fabulously. ‘Nargaret’ have turned into quite the power couple. Will and Connor have been shopping for their outfits in ridiculous places. Joscelyn Ruelle-Kersker spotted them basically everywhere they went. But they have yet to let us down with their costume choices so keep up the good work. Word on the street is Hayley Mahan is really into the costumes! Another employee who has made quite the impression on the staff is Justin Grabowski. His short shorts were said to have harassed Jocelyn C everytime she looked at him. But Skev said he “liked it if you can pull it off.”
The lifeguards are always good at trying to stay off the radar. It is very hard for them to stay out of the Rec Rag though because they all seem to be related or have dated each other or in some cases both. However with less beaches to watch over then ever before it still seems like they have been complaining more than ever. Pat Wilson has been training for Shark Week and has won the award for lifeguard of the week due to his quick pick up of a dead seal on the beach. The lifeguards have been pretty upset about the sun and cannot seem to function without a canopy. They were spotted looking like Siamese twins huddled under an umbrella. Better hope they don’t melt before the summer’s over.
If you have any juicy information for next week’s Rec Rag make sure you come into the office and let us know. For now happy trails to all and keep up the great work!

Many thanks to Jocelyn Cassola and Joshie Melanson (he's baaaack!) for co-authoring the summer Rec Rags! And thanks to the whole staff for their submissions.
Oh, and the last poll indicated that Will McAuliffe will be the counselor of the week for week one. Will is awesome, but is the poll accurate? Let's check the Rag and make sure. I suspect that the Skevster still has more mentions...

This Place About to Blow
Hey Blog-kateers! It's been a LONG time since we rapped at ya, but get used to it, because it's summer and we're up to our eyebrows in campers, medical forms and woodsies. We'll do our best to keep you updated in June, July and August. At least you can plan on seeing the summer Rec Rag here whenever it's published. You're welcome.
New Poll - Who will win counselor of the week next week? Vote! Turns out from the last poll that you all think, "That's what Bruce said" will be the next Bev Rec catchphrase. I think it's going to be, "Without a doubt", ala Matt McAniff.
The Skev Report - Saturday was Skev S. Lynch's birthday! He was rangering, so we left him some blondies, the birthday hat and strict instructions to get a pic of himself enjoying the day. Here it is...
