11th Annual Event to Take Place October 20th

BY J.D. O’GARA

“The walk was started in 2003 by our friend, Maryellen Miller, who has since passed,” says Katie Connors, one of the event organizers. “ We say ‘Walk on, walk strong.’ We’re feeling very good about it being our 11th year, and the event is going strong, and all of the money we raise goes directly to Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) for patient care and research.”

The 11th Annual Holliston Walk Against Breast Cancer will step off from the Congregational Church at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 20th. (Registration 12:15-1 p.m. in Town Hall.) Photo courtesy of Holliston Walk Again Breast Cancer.

“I came on board just a little bit later than some of the other ladies,” says Connors, “because, as the walk grew, we needed more people. Maryellen was a dear friend, so joining in the effort when she was still fighting her cancer – it was an honor to be a part of it,” says Connors, whose sister also survived breast cancer. Connors says she’s really happy to turn energy that otherwise might go to grief into something positive.

“I can’t say enough about Dana Farber,” says Connors. “They gave Maryellen great care; they’ve given my sister great care. If you walk in the doors there, you just feel the energy toward patients. If I ever have to face cancer, I know that’s where I would go. We’re just so lucky to live where we do and be close to such amazing medical

School’s out for the day, so why not have a yard sale and make some cash? That’s what Holliston High School seniors have been doing on Columbus Day for an estimated 30 years, and this year, their Senior Auction and Yard Sale will fall on October 14th, from 9 a.m. – 2p.m. Admission to the event, held in the Holliston High School Field House, is $5 per person, or for the die-hard yard salers, $20 for admission at 8 a.m. “The money raised is going to defray the costs for the students of the senior class – for graduation, prom, the yearbook, the class trip, and caps and gowns,” says volunteer Alice Foster McCallum. The day, according to McCallum, is “multi-tiered,” including a live auction for some of the bigger ticket items, as well as a silent auction, featuring items such as tickets to sporting events.

Holliston High School Senior Auction and Yard Sale

Holliston Gets Ready to Walk Against Breast Cancer

One thing’s for sure. The town of Holliston. It doesn’t have any tolerance for cancer. This month, on Sunday, October 20th, 400 or so walkers will descend upon the Congregational Church Green, 725 Washington Street, at 1:30 p.m. (registration from 12:15-1 p.m. at Town Hall) to take part in the 11th annual Walk Against Breast Cancer, dedicated in the memory of the Holliston resident who began the event, Maryellen Anne Miller, and to all fighters and survivors of breast cancer.

“There will be a live auction at the event starting at 9:30 a.m.,” says Jill Sykes, from the Live Auction Committee. “An antiques and collectibles appraiser will look over what we have on a few days before the auction and help us decide what is most valuable. It is always a surprise to see what gets donated. Who knows? We may have something of PBS ‘Antiques Roadshow’ quality this year!" A main feature of the fundraiser is the large bazaarstyle yard sale, that boasts home goods, toys, sports equipment, books and more, as well as a concession area in the cafeteria that will feature chili from the Holliston Superette, pizza from Sal’s and homemade baked goods. “They can shop, eat, and go back and shop some more,” says Foster-McCallum, who has three students currently

attending HHS, one of them a senior, who is, of course, volunteering for the event. “All of the kids do get involved in one way or another,” says Foster-McCallum. “My son is going around picking up any items to be donated.” I would say that 90 – 95% of kids will participate in one manner or another,” says Bill Wecshler, Senior Class Advisor. This year is the first year that corporate sponsors have been invited to help out with the event.

"This year, for the first time, local businesses have the unique opportunity to publicly show their support of the senior class by sponsoring this event,” says Theresa Lamkin, from the Community Partners Committee. “It is a wonderful way for them to show how proud they are of the gradating class. This year our list of wonderful sponsors includes: Ashland Lumber, Berry Bon Bon, College Pursuits, Covanta Energy, H. A. Sancomb Trucking & Waste Management, Henry Studio, Sam Alkhoury, Kiley Insurance, Hyper Space Storage, PR Running, Salone De Bella and Star Sign. We’d like to thank them for their support.” The corporate sponsorship helps to defray costs for the event, such as storage. In fact, says Wecshler, “I think the biggest challenge we’ve had through the year has been storage for the amount of things we pick up, and moving all the items from storage back to the school where we will set everything up that Friday of Columbus Day weekend. That is the most daunting of all.” He points out, that pickups increased in May and through the summer, but now that school has started, it has slowed down a bit. “For awhile we were getting as many as 10 calls a day,” says Wecshler,” and they all want them picked up as soon as possible. They forget that the kids picking up are in still in school.” Holliston residents can still call the donation line, (508) 474-

5025, but with the understanding that students can’t pick the items up between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. "As always, the community support is incredible,” says Foster-McCallum. “Our seniors have been at homes all over town since summer collecting donations of salable goods, and the majority of the expenses associated with production of the event are donated by Holliston residents and businesses."

care. It feels great to support them.” Connors says that, unlike federal money, funds raised from the walk are not encumbered in any way. She has actually met doctors from Dana Farber who have personally thanked the group. In fact, the Holliston Walk Against Breast Cancer sends everything walkers raise to the organization. Since the Walk began, the effort has donated over $450,000 to DFCI. “We’re really excited about the fact that we do fundraising on a big scale, but we really do it on a shoestring budget,” says Connors. “Dana Farber has recognized us

as a lean and mean fundraiser. We really do a great job of putting that sponsorship out and getting word out, person to person. We really have great walkers, and we have amazing sponsors.” Some of the biggest sponsors, the $1,000 or more banner sponsors who are listed on the banner over Washington Street, are Edmon Y. Jacobson, M.D., Main Effort Financial, Inc., and the New England Coffee Company. The Walk also has six pink ribbon sponsors, committing $350 or more: AFLAC-Maura and Steve Snow, Andrew M.

Connors points out that how grateful the organization is to both the Bird in Hand’s former owners, for having offered so much support, as well as to The Grapevine, for picking up the event this year. In fact, “We thank all of the sponsors with placement on our tshirts,” which, adds Connors, are generously donated by The Walking Company.

Connors notes that the event also includes an opportunity drawing (suggested donation), in which people can win prizes. This year, prizes include gift certificates and baskets from lots of local businesses, including Fiske's, Prana Center, Silpada, Mary Kay, Candy Cottage, and L’il Folk Farm, as well as two round-trip American Airlines tickets. Another big fundraiser for the event is the silent auction.

We want to make sure our surrounding towns know they’re invited, so we can keep doing this for years.”

Pink Event to Be Held at The Grapevine November 7th Day-Long Event Will Raise Funds for Maryellen Miller Memorial Scholarship Fund The month of October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in Holliston, it’s the month of Holliston Walks, a fundraising walk for Dana Farber Cancer Research Institute, as well as the month of the annual pink event. For years, the event was held by The Bird in Hand, which has recently closed its doors. This year, Diane Marrazzo, owner of The Grapevine, at 21 B. Charles Street, has taken the event torch, hosting The Pink Event on Thursday, November 7th, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. The event will benefit the Maryellen Miller Memorial Scholarship Fund, which gives college scholarships to deserving seniors from Holliston High School who have given back to their community through volunteer work and/or assistance to family.

soak. She’ll sell these for $5, during the whole month of October, with 100% of the proceeds to the scholarship foundation. “I’m calling it “These Shoes Were Made for Stomping,” says Marrazzo.

“We’re very grateful to the many years The Bird in Hand has done The Pink Event, and, now that they’re closing, The Grapevine has graciously offered to do that event for us all day and evening,” says Katie Connors, one of the organizers of the Walk Against Breast Cancer, which was founded by Miller. Diane Marrazzo says she plans to make it “really, really special.” She will offer raffle items either donated by her vendors or donated by other local businesses, with all proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund, and she’ll devote 10% of her sales from the day as well. “I was flattered to do it,” says Marrazzo, who also has lost family members to breast cancer. She plans on offering pink cupcakes, something pink to drink and has put together a special fundraiser of a pink, high-heeled shoe made of paper, filled with a foot

Citizens of the Year Story BY JOHN "CHOO-CHOO" SHANNAHAN

This article first appeared in and is used courtesy of The Holliston Reporter (www.hollistonreporter.com). Volunteerism took center stage Saturday morning, as Linda Ahronian and Mike Tyman were honored as Holliston’s Citizens of the Year for 2013 at Goodwill Park. When the sun broke through the clouds during the 10 a.m. ceremony, it shined a bright light on two citizens who have dedicated themselves to public service, and who are far more comfortable helping others, than receiving the accolades of a grateful community. Before family, friends, and neighbors, Linda and Mike were recognized by the Holliston Board of Selectmen, Representative Carolyn Dykema and State Senator Karen Spilka. They were cited for their many contributions, including for Linda her involvement in the Holliston Lions Club, America in Bloom, and the Relay for Life, and for Mike, the Holliston

Lions Club, Boy Scouts Troop 73 and the summer track program.

scouts of Troop 73 for giving up a trip to Mt. Greylock this weekend to attend the ceremony.

In accepting her award, Linda brought a smile to the crowd when she announced, “I’m blown away. I am in such good company with the people on this stage, especially Mike Tyman.” A former Lions Club President, she said “Joining the Lions club transformed my life. The only way to get to know how great a town is is to volunteer through something like the Lions Club. It has allowed me to grow into the person I am today who volunteers, which allows me to help other people.” In closing she added “I am standing here being honored for being a volunteer. How awesome is that!”

“As a boy, I never had a chance to be a cub scout, so as a parent, I wanted to get involved,” he said. That statement drastically understates the obvious. Mike’s level of involvement is second to none, as scores of Lions and Boy Scouts can easily testify.

Mike Tyman would agree. Also a former Lions Club President, he raised a chuckle when he congratulated the Celebrate Holliston committee for “making such wonderful Citizen of the Year choices this year.” On a serious note, he thanked his family, particularly his wife Wendy for her support, and also thanked the

Club which has become the "go to" youth community service group for many events (they have a close relationship with the Holliston Lions who sponsor the Club). Over the past two years, Linda has taught confirmation candidates at St. Mary's Church. In 2002, she was diagnosed with breast cancer while serving as the president of the Lions Club. That October was the first Holliston Walks for Dana Farber to benefit breast cancer research. Since then she has volunteered almost every year and walked whenever possible. This is another one of her favorite events chaired by some incredible women. Linda has also been involved with the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Ashland and Holliston for seven years, the last four on the Planning Committee. In fact, this year, she took on the role of Event Chair. Over the past two summers, she has helped out with Holliston in Bloom, this year on the committee as publicity chair. Linda said "meeting the talented judges from around the country and being a part of this event has been a wonderful experience as I have been working side by side with fabulous residents of this town whose enthusiasm is contagious and only overshadowed by their love of this town, which I share".

Furthermore Linda commented "I volunteer for many reasons. A big part of it is that I love to be of service and hope I can make a difference in the lives of others who need assistance. I like to pay back for the research that helped me survive cancer by raising funds for more research or for patient and family services. The benefits include meeting new people and making friends along the way. It's also been a lot of fun!"

This past summer over 500 kids between the ages of 3 to 16 participated. It has become a fun night out for families and friends. During the many years that his 5 children were in school, he was always volunteering as a soccer coach, being a member of parent groups or chaperoning for Natures classroom, Washington DC trips and the Disney trips. If you need to find Mike around the holidays... you can check Santa's schedule as for the last 5 years he has been Santa's number one guy... The Holliston Elf. Mike stated "My favorite part of Holliston is the way the people of Holliston care about their Community. What I enjoy most about volunteering is giving back to the community and helping those in need .Volunteering has become my social life!"

Milford to Vote on Casino Deal Next Month Anti-Casino Groups Urge Residents to Spread Word, Get Out Milford Vote BY J.D. O’GARA Although Milford selectmen signed a host community agreement in early September, putting casino gears in motion, the town of Milford will actually vote on the measure on November 19th. A simple majority is needed to move the plan ahead, at which time the town of Milford would have to hold a town meeting and attain a two-thirds majority to vote on a zoning change. What can residents of Holliston who oppose a casino in Milford do? According to Doug Fierro, volunteer for Casino-Free Milford, they can spread the word, talk to everyone they know in Milford and get them to vote no on November 19th, and help keep the issue in the forefront. They can also help raise funds for CasinoFree Milford. In fact, on Thursday, October 3rd, Truffle’s Restaurant, 198 East Main Street, Milford, will graciously host a fundraiser for Casino-Free Milford. Truffles will donate 20% of all food and beverage sales for the night. Reservations are suggested. Call (508) 482-1700

Milford Town Hall. Visit casinofreemilford.com. In addition to the Casino-Free Milford group, another group, Repeal the Casino Deal, is a statewide coalition of volunteers looking for all of Massachusetts to have a chance to vote on casino gambling in the state. Although Massachu-

setts Attorney General Martha Coakley has rejected the group’s initiative petition to repeal the 2011 law that legalized casino gambling as unconstitutional taking of property, the group will fight the ruling and continue to try to gain support.

The Artists of Holliston Mill BY ELIZABETH RICKETSON The Holliston Mill Artists will host their annual Open Studios at the Mill Building this month, October 26th and 27th, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. both days. The manufacturing building on Water Street that we refer to as the Holliston Mill was built in 1891. The town wanted to attract a shoe manufacturer and initially Beals Company fit the bill. It was a short lived occupancy, lasting only 18 months but, according to an excerpt from Holliston Town Historian, Joanne Hulbert's Holliston, A Good Town, "The Goodwill Shoe Company was the answer to prayers so long awaited. Providing steady employment in a stable economic environment, Williams had one of the longest and most successful business records in Holliston history and became Holliston’s first 'moneyed man' of the twentieth century." Nowadays, the Mill Building provides an open, airy space for a number of local artists, artists like Arlene Chaplin. Sitting and chatting with artist Arlene, in her Holliston Mill studio, scanning the room, my eyes settled on a quote: “everyone should carefully observe which way their heart draws them, and then choose that way with all of

Artist Arlene Chaplin is fascinated with colors and patterns. Her artwork can be seen at 8 Visions, at the Attleboro Museum, in addition to the upcoming Holliston Mill Open Studios.

has approached her artistic journey.

Chaplin then plunged right in to art classes and workshops.

Chaplin, a resident of Sherborn, has held studio space at Holliston Mill for seven years. Prior to devoting herself to artistic pursuits, Chaplin was in the Healthcare Industry, working at notable hospitals Deaconess and Tufts. Chaplin’s epiphany came when she was in a business meeting surrounded by men and was more interested in their neckties, admiring the patterns and colors.

Chaplin’s first box of crayons was her first inspiration. Designated as the family photographer growing up, Chaplin used the camera as a creative outlet learning about composition, picture set-up and color. Artist and teacher Bonnie Mineo, http://www.bonniemineo.com taught the first real workshop Chaplin took at The New Art Center in Newton, MA.

The very next day Chaplin went to the Arlington Art Store to buy supplies which became a frequent stop for her. Artist Pat Mattina taught Chaplin about the creative process: “be your creative self with no judgement.” Additionally, Mattina taught her painting technique through copying the Great Masters of Art. Chaplin’s work has evolved, as is evident in her latest show, 8 Visions, at the Attleboro Museum http://attleboroartsmuseum.org. Working with 3-foot squares is quite different than working on rectangles. Chaplin’s new work will be on display during the Open House. Chaplin is in transition right now and mentioned she is “wandering, looking, going to exhibits, doodling, reading books and will see what happens.” She did express an interest in writing a novel, novella or short stories. She has nearly finished a memoir for her grandchildren with pictures and her life chronology. There is much material to draw

from since Chaplin has kept a journal for years, and they are like pieces of art in and of themselves because a number of entries include a small strip of her work. According to Chaplin attendance at the annual Open Studios event is great. She sells any where between 5 and 7 pieces each year, but the event is not about selling as much as it is “good for your soul.” It is a great way for artists to show and share work with the public. It is a day for the community, music, wine tasting, families where kids have the opportunity to ask the artists questions. The atmosphere is festive and introduces the community to art, and people can look at art without feeling intimidated. In addition to the local traffic, visitors include people from surrounding communities, guest artists and followers of particular resident artists. For Chaplin, her studio is her “very own space.” Down the hall and just a few doors on the left is Joan Hill’s studio. Each studio is as individual as the artist that occupies it. Hill, a Holliston artist and resident is a citizen of the world with a very special place in her heart for our town. Corner to corner and any place in between you will be transported by her images of locations far and near. Boxes packed and ready for upcoming exhibits, photographs of places in Holliston that we take for granted are made unique and new by Hill’s artistic eye. Turn your gaze in another direction and visually you have arrived in Mexico or another U.S. destina-

tion. Hill travels around the country in her camper van, spends a couple of months annually at a Buddhist retreat in England and has travelled to Amsterdam for the past six years. From Joan Hill’s website: http://eclipse-photographics. squarespace.com. “Joan is a Photographer, Graphic Designer and mixedmedia Artist, currently working in her own Studio with an eclectic mix of artists in a converted Mill. Her special photographic interests include making art in nature and photographing the process/result, large and small scale spirals, Mandalas (which she creates digitally from her own original images), and the ongoing pursuit of creating compelling, moving and memorable images from her travels. Other creative passions in-

clude beading, leather work and pen and ink drawings which incorporate elements of both sacred geometry and Zentangle drawing technique. From being a manager at Underground Camera to receiving her Beth Israel Photography Certificate, Hill has always had a passion for imaging which began with an influencial high school teacher from Windsor CT. Currently Hill is on a quest to discover her ancestral roots which has brought her to new locations as well discovering she has family in Oklahoma. Hill is concentrating on her web gallery, making her own Tarot Cards and ‘exploring psyche and some legacy for my kin.’ ” Holliston Mill is located at 24 Water Street, Holliston, MA 01746.

Milford Franklin Eye Center Many patients will be aware of small flying “black spots” in the field of vision in one or both eyes. These are called floaters and may be associated with flashes of light. Flashes and floaters may have serious implications on the vision. What are floaters? Floaters are small black shadows in the vision of one or both eyes, especially when looking at a pale surface like a white page, a bright sky or perhaps when walking on the beach. These black spots are impurities in the fluid that fills the back cavity of the eye. This jelly fluid is called the “vitreous” and is a thick fluid which has a consistency similar to “egg white.” This vitreous fluid is present in the eye from birth, and is not replaced or exchanged during life. It is initially attached to the surface of the retina, which is the light sensitive nerve tissue layer that lines the back surface of the

wall of the eye. It is important to note that it is not necessarily abnormal to see black spots in the vision. The size and number of floaters seen is variable; some patients (especially short sighted people) will be aware of numerous floaters, while others may never be aware of the symptom at all. Some floaters can interfere severely with vision, while others are barely noticeable. Although annoying, floaters are usually harmless, and come and go over the years. What are flashes? Flashes are usually caused by the vitreous body tugging on the retina. This tugging occurs when the vitreous body shrinks as a normal part of the aging process. Flashes may last for a few seconds or several minutes, and can occur on and off for weeks or months. They are usually seen at night or in poor lighting. Eye migraine can cause the perception of similar light flashes although often these flashes of light may have nu-

merous colors. The abnormal light flashes seen with migraines are usually very different, appearing as jagged lines blocking an area of vision or moving slowly across the field of vision in one or both eyes. People who suffer from migraine headaches will often know the familiar pattern of these visual experiences, often occurring just before the headaches begin. These migraine flashes are unrelated to the vitreous body and its attachment to the retina. What causes flashes and floaters? The vitreous is composed of collagen, and this undergoes structural changes with age, and will become more liquid like and watery in later life. At some point, the chemical bonds that link the vitreous fluid to the surface of the retina will become weaker and the vitreous jelly will separate from the retina. This process is called posterior vitreous detachment or PVD and is a normal consequence of aging. Approximately half of us will have a

PVD in one or both eyes by the age of 60. PVD will often cause us to notice the sudden onset of new floaters, often associated with flashes of light. Unfortunately, the vitreous body is sometimes more firmly attached to the surface of the retina and may pull away a piece of the retina or tear the retina as it separates. This can cause fluid to escape, pushing the retina off the inside of the eye. This is known as retinal detachment, which is a serious threat to sight. Surgery is needed to reattach the retina if a retinal detachment occurs. When should I seek help? See your ophthalmologist if new floaters appear, with or without sudden light flashes. Any loss of peripheral (side) vision should be investigated without a delay. Your ophthalmologist will give you a com-

plete eye examination. Drops are put in the eyes to enlarge the pupils and determine whether PVD, retinal tear, retinal detachment or bleeding is present. If you have occasional floaters and flashes, you should have an annual eye examination.

At Milford Franklin Eye Cen-

ter, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to treat a variety of eye problems, including retinal tears with full evaluation of flashes and floaters. We are proud to have a dedicated

retina specialist in our practice, specializing in the treatment of retinal eye disease. With the addition of the new specialist, we bring to our practice world class eye care closer to home.

Symptoms of a PVD most often occur in one eye at a time. Even though your ophthalmologist will check both eyes at the first visit, it is important to realize that if similar symptoms are experienced in the other eye, you should see your ophthalmologist again with the onset of new flashes or floaters as you could be having a PVD in this eye. Is there any treatment for flashes and floaters? Flashes and floaters are usually just annoying, not harmful. However, they can be signs of serious problems (like a tear on the retina) and, for this reason, must not be ignored. For most

Smile $

people, treatment is not necessary. Floaters and flashes usually subside over time, causing no permanent deterioration to vision.

Although you may still have summer on your mind, staying warm gets expensive when winter hits. Many utility companies offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;budget billingâ&#x20AC;? plans that allow you to spread your heating costs over the year while avoiding a surprisingly large bill for a particularly cold month. Also, winterizing your home this fall conserves energy and saves money. â&#x20AC;˘ Start saving for the holidays. It may sound excessive to start thinking about the holidays in October, but Christmas is a less than 90 days away. Now is a great time to create a holiday spending plan. For instance, if you plan to spend $300 on gifts, you should start saving $3-4 per day to get there. Stashing away cash in advance allows you to buy gifts for everyone on your list without taking on debt. Resolve to start a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Clubâ&#x20AC;? savings account in the New Year to jump-start your savings habit.

Sell items at a local consignment shop or donate them (by making a tax-deductible contribution). â&#x20AC;˘ Conquering the Clutter in your Financial Closet. You need only to keep credit card receipts, ATM transactions, and deposit and debit card receipts until you verify the transaction on your monthly statements and then you can shred them.

National Honor Society Kids to Trick or Treat So Neighbors Can Eat Annual Halloween Food Drive Will Take Place the Night of October 30th BY J.D. O’GARA Juniors and seniors in high school trick-or-treating? And it’s not yet Halloween! Don’t shut that front door. These students, all part of the Holliston High School’s National Honor Society, are on a mission. They’ll be taking part in an annual food drive to stock the shelves of the Holliston Pantry Shelf, which serves over 200 families in the town. “It’s really a neat event, and the kids enjoy it, especially because they’re dressing up, “says Marissa Ferrante, one of Holliston’s two advisors to the National Honor Society. “They do it the week of Halloween. This year, it will be Wednesday, October 30th.“They split up in teams and go around town in mini groups to collect food for the food pantry. The (Holliston Pantry Shelf) really depends on

us for filling the food pantry. It’s really helpful for them, because they can stock up before Thanksgiving.” Ferrante says the event has been going on for at least 13 years. The Honor Society students, which this year has 57 members, 29 of whom are seniors this year, take all of the food back to the High School, sorting it in the hallways. Both juniors and seniors participate. The kids do follow a rule of honor while they are out trickor-treating, but Ferrante says that this particular group, as members of the National Honor Society, “uphold the standard, because they maintain qualities of character and leadership.” Once the kids collect the food, they bring it back to the high school.

“The students make signs for different foods on each table out in the hallway outside the gymnasium, and the kids sort their food. It’s easier for the pantry to then take it,” says Ferrante. The Pantry Shelf provides transportation and crates to help pick up the food. The event is actually a mandatory one for all of the members of the National Honor Society in Holliston, but Ferrante says it’s also one of the favorites. “(The event) kind of kicks the year off with a nice feeling, that’s positive and exciting, and the kids have fun doing it,” she says, “Halloween is still my favorite holiday. It kind of marks the holiday season. It’s not about gifts. It’s about having fun and spending time with your family.” “I personally have been involved in the project for two years now, and it is one of my favorite activities we do in NHS,” says Senior Maggie Naughton. “It is a good way to keep the spirit of Halloween alive when

you are older and no longer trick-or-treating necessarily, but allowing the treat to be something even better than what you wanted as a kid (though when people give us candy in addition to their donations, no one complains)!” Naughton says that the residents of Holliston are “extremely responsive to the project … People will be prepared with multiple shopping bags filled of donations, so ready and excited to be a part of it. I don't think anyone's had any particularly bad experiences, aside from a few expired items,” says Maggie.

For first time food pantry trickor-treaters, the senior encourages them to “Have fun with the event and realize the great thing that you are doing for your community. Wear a ridiculous costume, get a group together from the organization that you have fun with, and try and get as many donations as you can. Also, make sure you have a car with you the whole time...you are going to need a lot of space for all the goods you collect, and we cover a lot of ground!”

Proper long-term financial planning requires time, skill, discipline, and confidence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a combination that many individuals may lack.

A Gift to the Library Benefits the Whole Community

October 1, 2013

Preparing for Your First Meeting To help you create a formal financial plan, your financial professional will need to assess your personal situation, including your tolerance for risk, current portfolio allocation, and time horizon, among other matters. At your first meeting, you may want to bring important documents such as wills, insurance policies, and savings and investment account statements. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for your advisor to get a clear understanding of your situation and goals. Some investment professionals use a series of worksheets to identify a client's current financial circumstance and to design a personal plan of action. Because a financial plan is a longterm, working document, it makes sense to meet with your professional at least once a year to make adjustments for any changes in lifestyle and market conditions. Building a relationship of trust takes time. The sooner you contact a financial professional, the sooner you will be able to take charge of your finances, simplify your financial life, and devote your energy to other important matters.

Sports Waddell’s Prowess In Soccer Makes Him A Special Leader BY KEN HAMWEY Troy Waddell has all the qualities that make a high school athlete a stunning success. The 5-foot-10, 150-pound senior at Holliston High is a dynamic center midfielder in soccer, a relentless competitor who controls the Panthers’ transition game and whose adept field vision allows everyone to get involved, whether it’s on offense or defense. Waddell also is a two-time captain, elected by his teammates to be one of their leaders after missing his entire sophomore season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. After his junior campaign last year when he scored 11 goals and had nine assists, Waddell was chosen as a Tri Valley League all-star and also voted as the conference’s runner-up as MVP. He also was named an Eastern Mass. All-star and selected to the All-State team. But, what makes Waddell a breed apart is his penchant for team play and team success. He hasn’t set any individual goals for himself this season. But, he’s got some definite thoughts about the team’s objectives. “Even though I’m a senior, I’m not focused on getting a certain number of goals or assists,’’ he said. “But, I do think our team has a legitimate chance of winning the TVL title and also competing for a state crown. We’ll be in Division 3 this year and with our talent, we should be able to make a state title one of our priorities.’’ Waddell, who started playing soccer at age five, has plenty of passion for the sport. He cherishes the friendships that have resulted from the sport and he rates his Panther teammates as “very special.’’

“When I was sitting out every game as a sophomore because of my ACL injury, I was at all our games,’’ Waddell said. “After that season, my teammates voted me to be a captain. That was humbling and I was greatly honored.’’ Waddell says every player on Holliston’s roster belongs and he’s proud to be their teammate. He especially lists the other captains — Ryan Snow, Jake O’Connell and Matt Schaney — as extremely capable competitors. “Ryan is a forward, Jake plays midfield and Matt is on defense,’’ said Waddell who scored a pair of goals in Holliston’s opening game this season. “They’re all skilled and very passionate about their team and the sport.’’ Playing in every game as a freshman, Waddell was visibly down when he was forced to forgo his soph season. But, he knew there were two more years to hone his skills and help the Panthers achieve some success in the playoffs. “I was down a bit but I knew I had more time to play in high school,’’ Waddell emphasized. “My first two years we lost in the tourney in the first round but last year we bounced back and got to the Sectional semifinals by beating Duxbury and Martha’s Vineyard before losing to Medfield.’’ Waddell’s best game as a junior, when Holliston recorded a 13-3-2 record, was the tourney

win over Duxbury where he scored a goal and assisted on another. “We won, 3-0, and that was a big thrill because we got by the first round. We stepped up and played well in spite of tourney pressure.’’ Waddell, who also competes in track and basketball, enjoys playing center midfield because “I’m in the middle of all the action.’’ “It’s a fun position because you get to involve everyone in the action,’’ he said. “You get a lot of touches and it’s a position that allows you to lead. A center midfielder also sees the entire playing field.’’ Relying on speed and a sound ability to distribute the ball, Waddell also is superbly efficient in the classroom — he’s a member of National Honor Society. He prefers a business major in college and is interested in schools like Wake Forest and Richmond. “If I play soccer, it could be at the club level in college,’’ he said. “I might consider trying out as a walk-on if I go the Division 1 route.’’ Waddell’s coach, Jay Dupuis, is optimistic his star player will excel at the collegiate level because of his versatility. “Troy is a terrific two-way player,’’ Dupuis said. “He’s a solid defender, he’s phenomenal in transition, he attacks with speed and makes the right calls. He’s our quarterback and he’s like having a coach on the field.’’

"Princess" and "Patches," who are mother and son, were surrendered to the shelter by a woman helping out a friend. She was asked to hold her cats while the friend moved into her new place. Sadly, the friend never came back to get the cats! The woman who surrendered the cats couldn't keep them, because she found her children were allergic, and each cat is now looking for their forever home. Princess is a very affectionate, domestic shorthair, sleek black beauty. Patches is a black and white handsome, young adult who is also friendly, playful and very social. Princess and Patches would love to meet their new families soon. If you are looking for kittens to adopt, PCS currently has a variety of adorable kittens available.Visit our website www.purrfectcatshelter.org or call the message center at (508) 533-5855 for more information an adoption applications.

Senate, House Bill to Raise Age of Juvenile Court Jurisdiction Now Law The Massachusetts legislature passed legislation, which Gov. Deval Patrick signed, to raise the age of adult criminal responsibility in Massachusetts from 17 to 18 years old, Senator Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) announced. Raising the age of juvenile court jurisdiction brings the Commonwealth’s approach to young criminal offenders in line with most other states, recent developmental research and many other legal age limits in the Commonwealth.

“I have fought for many years to make this change a reality,” Senator Spilka said. “Teenagers have unique developmental needs, and our juvenile justice system plays a critical role in helping them get back on track. Raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction will increase public safety and provide teenagers with the age-appropriate rehabilitation and support services they need.”

ically tried as adults in criminal court, regardless of the circumstances or severity of the offense. Thirty-nine other states and the federal government set the age of adult criminal jurisdiction at 18 years old. Nearly every other law in Massachusetts, including laws setting the minimum age for voting and for serving on a jury, also assumes 18 years old to be the age of adulthood.

The bill amends current law requiring all 17-year-old persons accused of a crime to be automat-

The juvenile court system in Massachusetts focuses on rehabilitation services and support,

Page 27

and school attendance and parental involvement are mandatory. When 17-year-olds are prosecuted in the adult system, they are more likely to re-offend and to re-offend by committing more serious crimes. Compared with teenagers in the juvenile justice system, youth in the adult system receive significantly less adequate education, mental health treatment and age-appropriate rehabilitative programming. They are also at a greater risk for suicide and sexual abuse while in confinement, and they face serious barriers to future employment, education and housing due to their adult criminal records. Raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction also allows the Com-

monwealth to comply with recent changes in the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). New PREA regulations require detention facilities and court systems to provide “sight and sound separation” between adult inmates and minors, to better protect young inmates from rape and sexual assault. In order to comply with these federal regulations and keep 17-year-olds separate from adult inmates, Massachusetts would have to implement expensive staffing and construction changes to adult facilities. Including 17year-olds in the juvenile justice system saves the state money by eliminating the need for costly compliance measures.

Religious School Rebirth in Milford Brings Generations Together Jewish Family Workshop’s Religious School Celebrates Anniversary of Move to Temple Beth Shalom in Milford, MA

an excellent environment for our students, teachers and curriculum, while maintaining our pluralistic religious values.”

For more than a decade, the Rosenfeld Hebrew School located in the Community Center at Milford’s Temple Beth Shalom sat vacant and unused. Now, for the second year in a row, the long-dormant facility has come alive with the sounds of young children learning Hebrew and studying cultural history in a place that has a fair amount of its own history. The Jewish Family Workshop (JFW) and Temple Beth Shalom are celebrating their second year of an agreement to house the Workshop’s religious school at the Temple’s facilities on Pine Street, in downtown Milford, MA, and both congregations are benefitting from

After more than 10 years using a public school in Ashland for their one day a week program, the JFW saw their 2012 move to Milford as a chance to have a more dedicated location and access to a traditional synagogue. Bruce Kallin, President of Temple Beth Shalom, believes his congregation recognizes their Sunday tenants as a chance to attract younger families and rekindle a piece of their history that had faded in recent years.

The Jewish Family Workshop religious school provides an affordable Jewish education and preparation for Bar/Bat Mitzvah for Grades K though 7, but the congregation never had a synagogue to call “home.” “The Workshop membership and staff are excited at how well this new location has worked for us.” said Jeff Krasner, President of the Jewish Family Workshop. “As a cooperative, focused on educating children of Jewish and interfaith families, Temple Beth Shalom and the associated Rosenfeld Community Center provide

ago, we’ve been looking for the right opportunity to serve our community, and the Workshop provides an excellent fit. We offer a religious community to Workshop members who wish to join the congregation as well as educate their children.” Families are invited to be members of one organization or the other, or both, with discounted fees offered to those who desire membership in both the temple and the school. On Sunday, Sept. 29th, the 50+ students of the JFW were dismissed early to celebrate Sukkot at Temple Beth Shalom. For some, it was one of their earliest experiences with Jewish education and culture, while others will be taking their final steps towards Bar or Bat Mitzvah. But for all of the families in both congregations, it was another chance for the two groups to work together and revitalize the Jewish community in Milford. About Jewish Family Workshop: The Jewish Family Workshop is a collaborative of local families, founded in 1975, who have joined together to educate our children in Jewish traditions and to join in the celebration of the Jewish holidays. We represent varied religious backgrounds and training, but share a desire to provide our children with a quality Jewish education. JFW accommodates the schedules of busy, well-rounded children with a one day a week program that meets on Sundays during the school year. Our curriculum is designed to give children a sense of Jewish identity, introduce them to the rich history

and culture of the Jewish People, and provide a solid foundation for Bar or Bat Mitzvah. For information about Sunday school, contact: Rich Zupan, Membership Chair through the Jewish Family Workshop website www.jewishfamilyworkshop.org

About Temple Beth Shalom: Temple Beth Shalom is celebrating over 100 years of service to the Milford Community. We strive to make it a place where all can feel at home and enjoy their children and family. Temple Beth Shalom is a jewel in the midst of Milford, established well over a century ago by local Milfordians. We are an independent and unaffiliated congregation. Over the years Temple Beth Shalom has recreated ourselves many times and now we are reaching further than the surrounding towns and welcoming the Jewish Family Workshop to worship with our membership and become part of the our community and a center for social activates. Temple Beth Shalom provides the Jewish community and inter faith families with a place to share good fortune with family and friends, learn or study Jewish Laws, or just come for inspirational nourishment. If you would like more information about Temple Beth Shalom, please contact Rabbi Sol Goodman, 401 434 1108 or President Bruce Kallin 508 473 2775.

The Perils of Chasing High Yield This month, we take a break from our discussion of more general financial topics to cover a more “technical” investment strategy currently in favor among some money managers and DIY investors: chasing high yield. Simply put, this strategy involves targeting specific asset types such as preferred stocks, “high-yield” bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other vehicles that offer rates of return that are often much higher than those being delivered by the market in general. You might reasonably ask, based on that definition, why pursuing higher returns for your portfolio could be described as “perilous.” After all, isn’t growth the goal? Our answer, with a caveat, is: yes, strong returns are a good thing, but chasing high yield is often little more than a gamble that the market is wrong. High-yield products exist, frankly, because no one would ever buy them without the lure of the returns they promise to compensate for higher risk of default.

As we’ve mentioned in past articles, helping our clients benchmark their tolerance for healthy risk is one of the cornerstones of our investment methodology. High-yield investment products are inherently high risk. Take preferred stocks, for example. The promise of receiving regular dividend payouts before common stock holders is very attractive to most investors. However, the high-yield trend toward “hybrid preferred” stock carries with it the very real risk that your holdings could be automatically converted to common stock, meaning both a reduction of income AND capital! Careful attention to technical nuances like yield-to-call date is especially important when investing in preferred stocks. If you have the time and the energy to spend in this sort of analysis, preferred stocks may work for you. Otherwise, you’re gambling on a high cash yield that may or may not ever materialize. High-yield bonds also provide a cautionary tale. As with pre-

ferred stock, there is often a reason that the returns on high-yield bonds are so tantalizingly attractive, and that reason is usually linked to the bond’s rating. Issuers often have to offer high returns because the bonds are poorly rated or offer significant risk of default! Without the lure of a high interest rate, very few investors would put their money into these types of bonds. As the old saying goes, “You can put lipstick on a pig…but it’s still a pig.” In our experience, highyield bonds wear a LOT of lipstick. Wanting average or above-average returns is fundamental to investing. No one wants to lose money, after all. But chasing high yield is not for the faint of heart, and is often little more than an “educated bet” on market performance. Building a solid investment strategy that focuses heavily on managing risk, allocating assets prudently, and being patient may not have the flash and glitz of chasing high yield, but it will assuredly pay

Masons Mt. Hollis Lodge to Hold Open House Oct. 19th More than 230 Lodges meeting in approximately 160 towns and cities throughout Massachusetts will open their doors to the public on October 19th, including the Mount Hollis Lodge, at 657 Washington Street, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.. Freemasons will be on hand to give tours of their building, and to help the public gain a better understanding of the fraternity, its history, and why Freemasonry has been the common denominator of so many great men throughout our country’s history.

off better than gambling on a sucker’s bet. In this rising interest rate environment, lower your yield to maturity and be patient.

ASK THE REALTOR

E.R.A. Key Realty Services by E. “Cappy” Capozzoli

Becky and Michael ask, “In your opinion, which are the best towns to buy real estate?” Well that depends on your meaning of “Best.” Just like the word “Beauty” beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are many factors to consider when you are selecting a town. You need to decide what is most important to you and your family. Here are just a few to consider. Schools • Commuting • Hospitals Churches • Shopping Public services Most people understand that some towns are higher priced than others. This can be for the reasons stated above and also because certain towns have a very desirable “image.”

An interesting point is that an 8 ft 2x4 stick of lumber cost the same in the most expensive town as it does the least expensive town. What does cost more is the land in the most expensive town. The easiest way to research is to “hop” on the internet and search the town’s name and add the word “ profile.” You will be shocked how much info is there. After you have completed your computer work the next step is to hop into your car and drive there. Please don’t just drive through. Stop and have lunch at the local diner. Find a friendly face and ask them what’s happening in their town, and how they like living there. Maybe you could even a stop by the town hall, or a police or fire station. You will be surprised how much people like to talk about “their” town. Don’t be afraid to ask “what challenges or problems are facing the town.” This process will not only be educational for you, it can also be a fun adventure, (I have done it many times for my real estate clients). If computers are not your thing, let me know as we keep a profile of most towns at my office.

It’s A Sign of the Times… The main reason that the 55+ group has decided to make the move to a condo is the convenience of a first floor master bedroom suite. The convenience of one level living is ideal, and if there is a second floor, it’s for a guest room with a full bathroom. All the necessary rooms for everyday living are on the first floor including the laundry room and the attached garage. Baby boomers are down-sizing and searching for the right active adult community. The town of Franklin MA has several new adult communities under construction, and open house Sundays are usually a very busy day for real estate agents and baby boomers.

Another reason for moving to an adult community condo is the maintenance free factor. Leave the shovels, rakes and lawn mowers with the resale property. Those are the chores that will be addressed by the management company. Still another reason for moving is

to be surrounded by other people of the same age group with similar interests. Every occupant needs to be over 18, and one needs to have reached 55 years of age. If you are 55 year of age or older, and the thought of not climbing stairs is running through your mind, take a moment and call or visit an active adult community in Franklin MA. Maybe you’ll like the idea of moving and maybe you won’t, but until you look at all of your options, you won’t know. There are three active adult communities in Franklin MA that are at their last phase. Most will be sold out soon. Get there while you can, and see what others are enjoying for modern, convenient living.
