Donate socks

Natick Public Health Nurse Leila Mercer and Natick VeteransAgent Paul Carew are seeking donations of new mens white socks to be dropped off in the lobby of Natick Town Hall no later than Wednesday, Aug. 25. The Metrowest/Central Chapter of the Massachusetts Association of Public Health Nurses (MAPHN) has participated annually in Operation Stand Down, sponsored by the VA Boston Healthcare System and the Volunteers of America. Held at Clifford Park in Boston, this annual two-day event provides homeless veterans a hand up, not a hand out to a number of medical and social services to which they may not otherwise have access. The event will take place on Aug. 27 and 28. The MAPHN nurses will provide foot inspections and warm water soaks that are in addition to the podiatry foot care services offered. We would like to provide our veterans with clean white socks after having their foot soak, and also give out hotel-sized toiletries that we are able to collect for this event. Contact Leila Mercer at the Natick Health Department, 508-647-6460, or Paul Carew at the Kennedy Senior Center, 508-647-6545, for more information. Please leave any new mens white socks and/or hotel-sized toiletries in the designated box in the lobby of Town Hall, 13 East Central Street; or at the Kennedy Senior Center, 117 East Central St.

There is no secret formula, said Zoran Tulum. We have a world full of geniuses without determination, we have a world full of talents without determination, but thats what makes the difference when you have a student who is determined to work, and work, and work to improve. Tulum is talking about fencing. The sport is his passion. He has been fencing for more than 40 years, amassing a glittering resume along the way. He has coached at Harvard University for two years, Stanford University for 12, and is a past winner of the Yugoslavian National Championships. He moved to the U.S. 25 years ago after growing up in Yugoslavia. He founded the Zeta Fencing Studio in Natick Center 10 years ago, in an airy third-floor space on South Main Street across from the Natick Common. During that span, fencers from his studio have won four national titles and accumulated more than 30 medals at national championship events. When he teaches in his Natickbased studio, he does not just teach his students the basics because in Tulums mind, fencing is not all about technique. According to him, a lot of success is about who you are. You can have the same move taught by 10 people and you will have 10 different results. I can give you the same technique and somebody else the same technique and the result is going to be the difference, he said. I can teach you how to change the shift in a car and somebody else, yet you will drive the car totally differently because that depends on your personality. We are a sport in which the personality and character are as important as the physical talent. And in Tulums experience, physical talent and success in one sport does not necessarily carry over to fencing, like it can in some sports. I had some amazing athletes who could not fence or do anything interactive because they were uncomfortable dealing with other people they wanted to do it all by themselves, but only measured by clock or distance, he said. And then I had people who were awesome soccer players, who were very bad fencers,

Fencing instructor Zoran Tulum is shown working with a student during a class at Zeta Fencing Studio in Natick Tuesday. Since he founded the studio 10 years ago, fencers from Zeta Fencing have won four national titles and accumulated more than 30 medals at national championship events.

I was always challenged by fencing because its not only physical skill but its also mental skill, Tulum said. We are known as Physical Chess thats the nickname for fencing so being tall, or strong, or fast does not help you.

because they had to hide in a team. Above all, Tulum thinks the key to fencing is that it is an interactive, individual sport. The worst, or most complicated situation is when you have an interactive sport one-on-one, said the fencing coach. Boxing, tennis, fencing, wrestling because its you against another person, and thats it. Nobody can save you. You cannot say, Oh yes, I played well, but the goalie, it is his fault. You cannot share the defeat with anybody, but also you dont share the victory with anybody.

I was always challenged by fencing because its not only physical skill but its also mental skill, Tulum said. We are known as Physical Chess thats the nickname for fencing so being tall, or strong, or fast does not help you. You will just die faster, stronger, or taller. You have to use your brain at least 50 percent more than your body, if not more. Something that you do with or against another person and not against a time clock or a measure meter, like STAFF PHOTO BY KEN MCGAGH diving, or swimming these are Tulum watches students fence at Zeta Fencing Studio in Natick on not interactive sports. Theyre Tuesday. He says fencing is a sport in which the personality and

his caliber. Musicians also show up at classes to speak with The selection process for the Boston University the students, Creary said. CREARY, page 8 Tanglewood Institute is very competitive, with 811 high school students seeking 338 spots. Naticks Serena Creary is part of an even more select group. She is one of just a dozen students studying composition at the institute. Creary, who will be a senior at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in the fall, is in the midst of her six-week of study in the Berkshires, where she is learning about music from some of the finest in the business. I was lucky enough to be selected, Creary said. I had to send in three different, contrasting pieces. I sent in pieces for different ensembles ones with different (combinations) of instruments. Creary said she has already picked up a lot in just the first few weeks. I have definitely learned a lot, Creary said. All classes are helpful. The classes help me think about the music Im writing and want to write. It helps me think in a more logical way. One of the perks of being part of the institute, Creary said, is getting to see professionals play, for free. Yesterday, I attended a concert for the Tanglewood Music Center and saw Michael Tilton Thomas, who is a conductor in California (with the San Francisco Symphony), Creary said. I only spoke to him briefly, but he was interested that I am COURTESY PHOTO a composer. It was interesting to meet someone of Serena Creary is studying at the Tanglewood Institute.

Sophia Wolmans trip to Israel and the West Bank came at a very interesting time, especially for someone interested in peace making and conflict resolution. The area has been rife with conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians for decades, and the Natick resident and soon-to-be senior at Indianas Earlham College visited the Middle East during one of the latest clashes. While she was in the West Bank city of Ramallah in late May with a group called Interfaith Peace Builders when a convoy of ships sailing from Turkey to Gaza tried to break the Israeli blockade. One of the ships was boarded by Israeli commandos and nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed. The incident sparked demonstrations, and political debate around the world, with some say-

ing the activists were non-violent protesters and some saying the Israeli government is protecting its people by trying to prevent weapons from coming into Gaza. In Ramallah Wolman witnessed the Palestinian reaction to the incident. We saw huge demonstration, all non-violent, Wolman said. There were many Palestinian flags and many Turkish flags as well. She was surprised what she heard when she observed a television news crew from Israel doing a report afterward. One of the members of our delegation was Israeli, and could translate for us, Wolman said. The news reporter was saying `Its pretty quiet, not much is going on here. That was 15 to 20 minutes after we had seen hundreds of Palestinians demonstrate.
