Kristen Morse got the idea for Sutton’s In-Line K9 Training about a decade and a half ago when she needed a job while her husband was serving in the military. Despite having to start the business out of necessity, Morse quickly grew fond of dog training.

“It’s just such a wonderful experience, but very challenging and rewarding at the same time, doing all of these things by myself,” Morse said.

Recently, Matt Laramie from Matt’s LEGO Drive for Kids with Cancer, and his daughter, Olivia, stopped by the Millbury Police Department and caught up with Laramie’s close friend, Sergeant Christopher Polselli.

The visit comes after Polselli’s appearance on 101.3FM where he gave a shoutout to Laramie’s LEGO Drive. Afterwards, LEGO set donations started pouring into the MPD, and Laramie and Olivia came to collect the toys.

“We collected toys from our residents, then donated those toys to a guy who hand-delivers the toys to kids with cancer,” Polselli said. “I mean, if that doesn’t hit you straight in the feels, you should probably check your pulse… It takes a long time in life to realize that you get more when you give than you do when you receive.”

Lynn Whitney Turner has become the new chairwoman of the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Women’s Success Network (WSN), succeeding former chair Alise Breton.

“When Alise shared that she would need to step down due to increased professional responsibilities, I felt strongly about supporting the continuity of WSN and the great work she, along with leaders like Pat Hurton and Pat Baker, had built over the years,” Turner said. “I volunteered to take on the role because I genuinely believe in the mission and potential of this network.”
