A Boylston resident, Kassidy Linnete, this month has her photography displayed in the community room at the Fiske Public Library off Randall Road. But there is an interesting Wrentham connection.

David Lee Black, a local resident and expressive arts therapist, has been working with Linnete, 15, for several years with expressive arts therapy. During their weekly sessions, Black takes his client out into the natural world, visiting such places as Wachusett Reservoir and Audubon Society sanctuaries with their cameras.

"I coach Kassidy on observable differences in the natural world, and Kassidy teaches me that there are many wonderful ways to look at the world in which we live," Black said. "Sometimes we travel to our photogenic destinations on my Harley Davidson which Kassidy absolutely loves."

There will be a reception Friday, Aug. 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. For more information, visit zhibit.org/davidleeblack.

Rec complex donations

Looking to donate money for the town's first full recreation complex being developed off Emerald Street? About $1 million is needed to complete the complex, being built on 80 acres of town land near Wrentham Developmental Center.

Donations should be mailed to: Wrentham Recreation, 79 South St., Wrentham, MA 02093. Checks should be made out to William Rice Gift Account.

Volunteer labor and materials are also being sought. Call the recreation department at 508-384-5427. Fields draw praise

Those who use the new fields are full of praise. "It is excellent. They really did a nice job," said Wrentham Youth Baseball coach Dan Clifford, whose team uses the fields for practice and games. "They are really good fields. I just love playing on them," chipped in one of the players, Ryan Guenette, 10.

Wrentham was plagued by a shortage of athletic facilities, especially for the growing popularity of soccer, and the town hadn't built any new facilities since Sweatt Field more than 20 years ago.

Rice, the former longtime recreation director for whom the complex is named, and recreation committee members worked for years to get the land for the facilities.
