On Friday, September 24, 2010 Congressman John Olver paid a visit to the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School. While there, he watched the Mahar Senators win their fifteenth consecutive game (dating back to 2009) by a score of 52 – 0 over Palmer High Schools’ Panthers. Congressman Olver was treated to a special surprise in between the first and second quarters of the game when he was called out to the 50 yard line to receive an award. The Ralph C. Mahar School Community honored him for his assistance in procuring more than $200,000.00 in federal funding to pay for the fully handicapped accessible seating that was installed a little more than one year ago.
Congressman Olver was met on the field by Mahar School Committee Chair, Maureen Donelan (left), Superintendent, Michael Baldassarre (presenting award), and Mahar Principal, Scott Hemlin (left). Fittingly, Olver’s friend and colleague, State Representative Christopher Donelan offered kind remarks about Olver and ended my naming the Congressman “An Honorary Mahar Senator.” Donelan worked closely with Congressman Olver to procure the funding necessary to complement the 2005 multi-million dollar Mahar renovation with the handicapped accessible bleachers. Donelan was also honored by Mahar for his works in a September 2009 ceremony.
