Medway Teen Helps Preserve National Park Digging Up History

rails between. It’s been up there over 80 years. We’d take down whole fence and wiring and replace posts and new rails.”
Although a lot of teenagers look forward to summer vacation as a time when they can kick back and relax, Norfolk Aggie student Jamie Barrone saw this past summer as a time to get to work. Barrone spent a whole month of her summer working with the Student Conservation Association (SCA), sleeping in a damp, crowded tent in the rain with other teens she hardly knew and getting up at the crack of dawn to work all day on revamping a section of the Blue Ridge National Park area.
Barrone says the goal of the work being done in that area is to make the Blue Ridge accessible to everyone. She explains that the portion she worked on was near a senior community. Sometimes, she says, older walkers would come by and “we’d hear about how they want to hike like they used to, so what we do is we go down, and we flatten it out and make it really nice so more people can walk on it.”
She’d heard about the program through an older student, her mentor, at Norfolk County Agricultural High School, Valerie Watson. Watson, who lives in Randolph, had participated in SCA, working in Denali.
Every day, Barrone says, the workers had to be ready by 7 a.m., with anyone working breakfast crew up by 6:20. Each day, volunteers worked on breakfast, camera, cleanup, dinner, or as leader. Breakfasts, she says, were not five-star.
When Barrone applied, she got assigned to Blue Ridge. “We worked mainly on building split rail fences on the Bluff Ridge Primitive Trail,” says the 17-year-old junior. “On the parkway, you’ll see these rail fences and two posts with five
Local History Buff to Present Lecture on Millis Archeological Dig at Millis Library Oct.10th
Medway resident and Norfolk Aggie Junior Jamie Barrone spent half of her summer working on a trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains through the Student Conservation Association. Although it rained much of the time, she says, when the clouds cleared, the ridges and mountains “were just beautiful.”
“We had oatmeal every day except Sunday, and granola and brown sugar,” she laughs. Breakfast was followed by a stretch circle in the morning.
BY J.D. O’GARA What began as a relatively unremarkable quest to find the elusive remains of the ancient stone house back in 2005 has snowballed into one of the most intriguing and provocative archaeological investigations in Bay Colony history. It happened right in Millis, and now the man who discovered it will be talking about this find, the artifacts it uncovered and their ramifications in one of the first presentations in the Roche Bros. Community Room at the new Millis Public Library, 961 Main Street, on October 10th, at 7 p.m. “I was hunting around for George Fairbanks’ place, where his stone house was,” says Paul LaCroix, President of the Millis Historical

“They would ask a question, like what’s a good safety tip, what’s your favorite place to be, or if you were stuck on an island what would you eat,” says Barrone. The crew would drive from 5 to 20 minutes to the worksite, she says, and then they would work from that time until 3:30 p.m. each day, from Monday through Saturday. “The first week we were tired by Saturday,” says Jamie. “But then, by the next week it just kind of got easy. We wanted to keep working. We would have stayed another week if we could have. Normally, the crews didn’t get to meet the park rangers, but ours stayed with us, so we became good friends with them.” Despite the heavy workload, says Barrone, getting chosen for the SCA is actually a competi-

“I really wanted to help, because I’ve been always interested in national parks,” says the teen. “ I used to tell everyone I’d be a Mountie in Canada, and last year, my cousin, a National Park Ranger, took me to Idaho and got me really interested in National Parks. When I heard of SCA, I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do.’” Barrone says that at first, she did feel homesick, but that her crew “became like family to me.” “Before, a national park was a great place to visit, but now I can go and think ‘me and my crew built that fence.’ That’s something not everyone gets to say. I hope in my life I can do more things like this. I would be amazed to lead a crew one day after I graduate. I want to thank the SCA for the opportunity.” In addition, she says, “The views were amazing. When we were working a trail, there were

clouds, but one day we looked out and the clouds had disappeared and there were all these ridges and mountains. It was just beautiful.” Barrone, who also volunteers at the Sterling Impressions Animal Rehabilitation Center in Walpole, is not doubt on a path to leadership. Also a volunteer at Sterling Impressions Animal Rehabilitation Center in Walpole, Barrone is a Future Farmers of America officer at her school, having gotten the FFA Greenhand and the Star Chapter degrees, and she is Captain of her cross country. She enjoys studying in the Natural Resources Department at Norfolk Aggie, she says, because, interspersed with academics in the classroom, she’s “climbing trees a lot, or holding a snake,” she laughs. This year, she’ll start exploring colleges and universities. Not surprisingly, she’s interested in environmental studies. To learn more about SCA, visit thesca.org.

The “Boggastow Fort Dig Project” unearthed thousands of colonial artifacts that have lain beneath the hay field just north of South End Pond in Millis for more than three and a half centuries. Consequently, the information disseminating from these diagnostic artifacts has allowed for a whole new and more accurate interpretation of the facts concerning this area's history, while both clarifying and debunking much long held tradition in the process.
Society and whose family’s history in Millis dates back to 1775. “It was supposed to be a fairly large edifice, 50-60 feet long, so I spent 3 years trying to find it, and finally I found it.” LaCroix explains that George Fairbanks was Millis’ first settler, in about 1658. Historical documents had noted that this two-story, stone edifice had been the first permanent structure erected in what would eventually be the town of Millis, built for Boggastow farmers to take refuge during Native American uprisings. LaCroix says he had consulted maps of the area, literally walking in the vicinity where the house should be. He found a hayfield, one with an unnaturally rectangular plateau. He was convinced, he says, that this was the Fairbanks stone garrison. “I got permission from the property owners to dig. Last year was the final year of the dig, and all the artifacts now belong to the Millis Historical Society,” says the avocational archeologist. “We kept it secret on purpose, because this is a fairly important find.” Under the direction of Mr. John Thompson, PG, LSP, and certified

Local Youth Group Will “Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat” October 27th BY J.D. O’GARA This Halloween, those young goblins and ghouls might not just be out for tricks and treats, they might be trying to help hungry neighbors. “Trick-or-Treat-SoOther-Can-Eat” is a program begun in the Ticonderoga area of Millis by Sheri Anderson, Director of the Church of Christ Youth Ministry program. Both children involved in “Kids of the Kingdom,” grades 4-6 and “Pathfinders,” grades 7-12, are invited to take part, in which they dress up and go door to door collecting food for the Millis Food Pantry. This year, it will take place on October 27th, rain or shine. “This goes back to when I was a youth group member,” says Anderson. “I think I invented this, but I

know that there are groups all over the country doing it. As a kid on Halloween at 6th grade, I was yelled at by a neighbor who thought I was too old to go trick or treating.
I was sad and brought it to my youth group, and we thought why don’t we go trick or treating for canned goods?”

because it’s a tight-knit, safe place, but also because, “in my experience, we have found it’s more the working class who are most generous. I’ve seen it across several communities. They seem to have the most joy in it and embrace it the most. It’s a lovely neighborhood, but it’s not the fanciest. And that’s our goal, to collect a lot of food.”
“We came up with idea of going Sunday before Halloween, because it’s fun, and also because it’s doing something to help others.” The group has been doing this in Millis for about six years now.
The group is broken into four routes, and each team has a wagon. When the wagons are filled, they bring the food to a driver who creeps alongside the group.
“We print up a little flyer that lets (the neighborhood) know, and we tell them if you want, to staple this flyer to the bag and leave it on your doorstep,” says Anderson, who says she has gotten “amazing response from that neighborhood.” Anderson is sure to discuss tactics with children ahead of time. “Sometimes there are people who will say, ‘No, I don’t have anything.’ We don’t know their story, It's possible that people who live in one of these beautiful homes, they might be clients of the food pantry. Never ever judge.” Anderson says she chose the Ticonderoga, Lexington and Brandywine neighborhood not only

“We’ll get 20-30 wagons full,” says Anderson. Not only do the children collect the food, but they take it back and sort it for the food pantry as well. The first time, she says, the group sort of “just dumped all of the food in the back of a van and dumped it on the food pantry. Judy Ackerman, of the food pantry, said, ‘That was awesome, but it took us like three weeks to sort it and put it away.’” Since then, says Anderson, the church’s confirmation class, typically 9th and 10th graders, sort the food, checking expiration dates and sorting it by type and placing it on shelves. “They learn about the pantry and get involved in the whole process,” she says.

Young Artist Challenges Medium & Gender Stereotypes BY J.D. O’GARA
As a tattoo artist, Robinson doesn’t always have artistic freedom to create what she likes, but she says that her favorite work has been a Harry Potter-themed piece (as she’s a big fan), as well as a big floral motif.
“If you told me, when I graduated high school, that I would be a tattoo artist when I grew up, I would not have believed you,” laughs Ariel Robinson, tattoo artist at Visions Tattoo & Art Gallery in Medway. The 27-year-old Bellingham native has no formal training, yet is able to create intricate, in-depth artwork on skin. “I’m literally self taught with everything. I grew up with an aunt who went to art school, and I just used to go to the library and take out four to five books a week and do all the exercises,” says Robinson. The artist also likes to create using paint, but prefers Prisma colored pencil for their capacity for blending. What’s more, she’s skilled at “assemblage,” an art form in which three-dimensional or two-dimensional artistic compositions are put together using found objects. In fact, Robinson won an award for her assemblage entry at the Grafton Music and Arts Festival last year. She has also shown her work at art shows in Medway, as well as at “a lot of tattoo-related openings,” she says.
“I really love doing flowers. I do have one sleeve that I’m proud of. It’s a rainbow-colored sleeve, and it’s ridiculously colorful. I like the floral motif, because even if you ask
Page 5 for the same flower 100 times, you can do them 100 different ways. I could have 100 people ask for 100 roses, and they’ll be different each time.” Now, says Ariel, she loves what she does, and her preconceptions about who gets tattoos have gone out the window. She says she meets all kinds of people in her profession. “I really do like chatting with people, and you get to talk to so many different kinds of people with so many different stories. It’s one of those jobs where you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Medway tattoo artist Ariel Robinson never envisioned herself in the profession, but the self-taught 27-year-old’s artwork is respected in a field, that, she’s found, doesn’t always take female artists seriously.
tion of what types of people get tattoos. “I just grew up where tattoos were a scary thing, not necessarily an art form … I didn’t think it was for me.”
pretty girl at the desk, but I specifically don’t wear anything revealing here, because I want to be taken seriously as an artist. If you’re not butch looking, if you’re the pretty staple girl of the shop, people sometimes don’t’ take you seriously,” she adds.

Robinson came across this perception at the recent Boston Tattoo Convention, which took place at the beginning of September at the Hynes Convention Center. Hearing that her co-worker was planning on dressing up in a suit, Ariel decided that she, too, would dress to the nines, wearing a dress to the event.

Robinson began her career going to Blackstone Valley Tech for auto body. “I learned to airbrush there,” she says. “People used to have me airbrush motorcycles.” Since her boyfriend owns a motorcycle shop, Robinson would attend rallies with him, and through this she met an owner of a tattoo shop, who asked her if she’d considered doing tattoos.

Church of Christ Cooking Up Some Family Fun on October 5th Annual Family Fun Fair from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. to Feature New Activities BY J.D. O’GARA Millis is once again gearing up for the Family Fun Fair, an annual event sponsored by the Church of Christ Congregational, 142 Exchange St., Millis. This year, the event will take place on October 5th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We’re finalizing the entertainment schedule,” says event chair and church member Pam Mustard, who says the community oriented event is backed by “too many volunteers to event count,” including a number from the church youth group. “Millis is a wonderful community, and you really get that incredible community sense during the fair,” says Mustard.
“You see people, both young and old, and one of our goals is that we really try to appeal to a variety of ages and interests with different vendors and different types of entertainment and reaching out to some nonprofit groups.” Mustard says that, although the event is a fundraiser, planners really try to make the Family Fun Fair affordable. “We want it to be affordable and fun, and really a wonderful sense of community. Families are really incredibly busy, so we’re hoping that in between soccer and flag football and all of the busy-ness, that people will stop by.” The event boasts a yard sale

The Chic Boutique Opens in Medway! The Chic Boutique today announced that it has opened the doors of its new shop in Medway as it enters its 10th year. Owner Amy Darst took the summer off while her new shop, which is visible now along Route 109 next to Restaurant 45, was built for her. The Chic Boutique is not a “young boutique” says Darst. She tries to showcase items and outfits that befit the typical Metrowest woman. She typically is dressing customers who are busy local ladies who dress nice and sincerely adore the unique, stylish offerings at The Chic Boutique. She has successfully operated her business with a unique flavor, call it Service before the Sale. This means that Amy is often called upon by her cus-

The other day, one of my long time customers wrote to me that she needed to come in so I could get her dressed and ready for a speaking engagement at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

tomers to “dress them,” and she seems to always be able to put together a stunning ensemble for her customers, or direct them to the single item to complete their look. Service before the Sale and her customers love her fashion sense.
While located at 45 Milford Road (Route 109), the Chic Boutique now also offers online shopping on their website. For more information, call (508) 533-4225, check out her website at amyschicboutique.com or her very active Facebook page.

Millis Public Schools Welcomes New Technology Director BY J.D. O’GARA Millis Public Schools welcomes a new technology director for the district this fall. Kay Tessier, an Ashland resident who has served as a curriculum and technology director for the past 15 years, leaves her most recent position as Director of Instructional Technology for Ashland Public Schools to serve Millis. “I was aware of what was happening in Millis, particularly in the 1:1 with the iPads, so I felt it was a very special opportunity to join a district that was kind of at the forefront of these 1:1 initiatives,” says Tessier, who says she began her career in technology as a parent volunteer, writing basic math programs for kids. Now grandmother, as well as a mother of three, Tessier says that her background in both technol-
ogy and in curriculum have given her the tools she needs to provide the support that teachers and students need. “My most immediate challenge, personally, is just getting to know the district, the culture and the staff. I’m beginning to meet with people and get their input on how I can support them.” Tessier says that Millis has a district goal of personalized learning, which means that goals are for “teachers to have the tools to really meet the individual student’s needs, and then the students, they have the tools to customize/personalize what they need best for learning.” Those tools might be access to a video, rather than printed material, for example, and providing the material in a format that works best for the student.
“It’s not a one size fits all,” says Tessier. “In Millis, in addition to the iPad initiative, many of the teachers are using It’s Learning, which enables the teachers to put a lot of resources out there for kids, so they can access it whenever and as many times as they need. It’s about making it easier, taking the content and making it accessible in multiple ways, and the same thing for demonstrating what you’ve learned.” Tessier says one of her goals is to sustain current technology initiatives, while at the same time, continuing to move forward. “The joy in this job is that people become engaged when they’re immersed in using new technology either to learn or do something. I get joy in being part of that,” says Tessier, who also happens to be a fan of both the
New England Patriots and reading thrillers. “So far, people have just been welcoming and gener-
ous with their time with me. I feel like it’s going to be a really nice fit.”

Library, Schools Encourage Millis to Read “Millis Reads” Program Launches this Month through January 2014 The Millis Public Library and Millis Public Schools have embarked on a joint effort to improve the community through collaboration and dialogue among individuals and across organizations by encouraging all the citizens of Millis to read the same book at the same time. The first book chosen for this program is entitled How Children Succeed, by Paul Tough. The book explores the question “Why do some people succeed while others fail?” The story we usually tell about childhood and success is one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in his book, Tough argues that the qualities that matter more have to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism and self-control. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood and success itself. How to participate: Read the book. Copies are available at the library. Attend a program related to the book’s theme.
Guest speakers: We are pleased to announce that our inaugural speakers are Dick and Rick Hoyt (Team Hoyt) who will be presenting their inspirational story of facing and overcoming adversity on 11/8 at the Millis Middle School/High School assembly and on 11/16 at the library for the general public. Panel Discussions: Listen to experiences from multiple panel members related to grit, curiosity and the hidden power of character. Come see an art exhibit based on the book’s themes. Participate in a book discussion. Join with others from the community in a facilitated discussion. Start a conversation. Find out what your friends and neighbors around town think about the book. Explore related materials. The school and library will highlight related material.

Living Healthy Flashes and Floaters By: RogeR M. Kaldawy, M.d., MilfoRd fRanKlin eye CenteR
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
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.
“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.

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 numerous 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 complete 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. 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 people, treatment is not necessary. Floaters and flashes usually subside over time, causing no permanent deterioration to vision. At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 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. For more details, see our ad below.

Living Healthy a difficult time cleaning the teeth. Similarly, sweet foods, including some fruits that are high in sugar, can feed bacteria on the teeth. Braces make it more difficult to clean the teeth effectively, so consuming excessive amounts of sugar may result in decay.
How to Make Smart Food Choices When Wearing Braces Getting braces is a rite of passage for many children. The American Association of Orthodontics estimates more than 3.5 million children ages 8 to 17 wear braces in a given year. While some children cannot wait to get braces and correct problems with crooked teeth, others are a bit nervous about the experience. When braces are in place, it helps to know the dos and don'ts of maintaining braces, including which foods can be comfortably eaten and which should be avoided. Braces use a series of brackets and wires to treat malocclusion, a Latin term that translates to "bad bite." The wires used today are smaller and stronger than they used to be, which has helped to shorten the length of time that braces may need to be worn. There also are braces that can be worn behind the teeth or are the same color as the teeth, minimiz-
ing the appearance of the braces.
Small foods also can become lodged in between brackets and wires. When such foods are not removed, they can promote bacteria growth and cavities.
Many brackets are cemented to the teeth with an impermanent product that is designed to be durable while the braces are worn. When the braces need to be removed, the cement is scraped off, leaving no damage to the teeth. But it doesn't take much force to remove these brackets from the teeth, necessitating repairs. Certain foods can break brackets or bend wires, while others can get stuck in rubber bands used when wearing braces. Monitoring diet can prolong the life of the braces and shorten the amount of time they need to be t is probably safer to avoid sticky peanut worn. butter when wearing braces, especially if Hard foods, such as nuts, ice there are small bits of peanut inside. cubes, apples, and crunchy crusts, can damage the fragile candies, gum, and taffy, can pull components of the braces.

Here are the foods that you may want to avoid for the duration of your time wearing braces. * Hard pizza crust * Popcorn * Bagels * Hard candies * Chips and other crunchy snacks * Peanut brittle * Nuts * Raw carrots
It is important to maintain scheduled professional dental cleanings when you are wearing braces. Regular brushing and using small devices designed to get into the crevices created by the braces can help keep teeth clean. When eating, cut foods into bite-sized pieces to avoid having to bite down into them. Many foods, such as chicken wings, ribs or corn on the cob, can be enjoyed by those wearing braces so long as they are eaten with a fork. Apples also can be sliced and eaten.
* Pretzels * Candy * Gum * Beef jerky * Hard tacos * Soda and sugary soft drinks Some people wear braces for a few months, while others must wear them for a few years. Keeping teeth clean and avoiding problem foods promotes dental health and makes maintenance less difficult.

Living Healthy Quest for Better Health Helps Change a Community Nurses are known for helping others. So it should be no surprise that when a Texas nurse decided to make changes to improve her own health, she began to better the health of others as well. This is the story of Austin resident Shirlet Fowler, a registered nurse who was overweight and had high cholesterol, which put her at risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African-American adults, like Shirlet, are 1.4 times as likely as Caucasians to be overweight or obese. "This means they are at a higher risk for high blood pressure and chronic diseases such as diabetes," said Leonard Jack, Jr., PhD, MSc, director of the Division of Community Health at the CDC.
But Shirlet decided not to stay on this path. When she started having pain while picking up her two-yearold daughter, she realized it was time to make a change. She started walking and asked family members and friends to join her. "It wasn't easy," recalls Shirlet of that first day. But within six months, her group went from walking a couple miles to five miles every day. The group meets monthly to celebrate, share healthy recipes and check blood sugar and cholesterol. They enjoy monitoring their goals and socializing while walking. They also enjoy better health. Several walkers have lost weight, Shirlet's cholesterol has dropped 100 points, and she can pick up her daughter without pain. She also feels in control of her health for the first time, which has improved her self-confidence and
well-being. • Independent Living
Today, Shirlet says, "I feel stronger. I am stronger."
• For People 62 and Older
The healthy habits Shirlet has adopted set a good example for her young daughter, too, which Shirlet feels is extremely important.
• Easy, Maintenance-Free Living

"If you don't have your health, nothing else matters," she said. Inspired by the success of the group, Shirlet teamed up with the Alliance for African American Health, an organization that helps make it easier for African Americans to get exercise. She also became a spokesperson for healthy living habits through a partnership with a local medical center and her local school district.

"Shirlet's story is one of many healthy success stories around the United States," said Dr. Jack. "The CDC applauds her and all the many other individuals and programs working to improve access to healthy foods, physical activity, and reduce tobacco use and exposure in their communities."

Yoga tip for Being at Ease ADDIE ALEX, LIGHT OF THE HEART YOGA™ When you breathe with awareness, then each breath has the power to relax you deeply, right into every cell of your body!
Easy Breathing Mostly you breathe with little or no awareness. However, as soon as you become aware of how you’re breathing – smooth and full, or tight and constricted, or somewhere in between – then your breathing begins to shift. With the busyness of the fall season, you can find yourself nearly hyperventilating. This happens when you’re not even noticing that you inhale and exhale. Paying attention to your breath allows you to con-
nect with your own easy rhythm of breathing. Take four or five breaths and notice how each one is more relaxed than the previous one. Relaxed, easy breathing allows you to move through your day with more ease.

about how to deal with bullying and the feelings that stem from bullying. She gives students tools to help those who are being bullied, and she empowers children who are being bullied to not only respond differently to outside bullies, but to slay the inner bully within themselves by cultivating positive thoughts and confidence. Ben Speaks pairs younger students up with mentors in their 20s who have been through some of the same issues. “These 25-year-olds have been there. They’ve made it through, and (younger kids) listen to these kids and the hear they have value,” says Susan Wood, Operations Manager for Ben Speaks, "when
they’ve been told by all the other ones that they don’t. Sometimes these kids tend to appear very normal, but on many levels are emotionally and socially challenged. They react very strongly in situations they feel are unfair, and they become targets.” Giovangelo says that rather than try to protect the kids who are vulnerable to social bullying, Ben Speaks’ mission is to help them “navigate that emotion rather than put kids inside a bubble,” she says, adding that conflicts are inevitable. “We are going to be left out. We are going to be misrepresented. We are going to have people talk bad. I think so many parents are trying to cocoon their kids from feeling disappointment, from feeling life’s
challenges, and that’s at a detriment to our kids.” Ben Speaks, she says, is coming back to Medway on the back of the fourth teen suicide in town. She sees her mission in Medway “to be a real presence and a real resource for the town.” A Concert to Remember is being presented with the support of Keith Greenfield and Sarah Clancy from Open Fields nonprofit creative arts organization from Dover and will feature the addition of youth performers from their organization. The event will also feature an auction of original works, donated to the cause. To find out more information about Ben Speaks or A Concert to Remember, or for tickets, visit www.benspeaks.org. The suggested tax-deductible donation, which benefits the nonprofit organization, is $25.

NE Patriots to Host HERO Walk at Gillette to Promote Designated Driving A campaign to prevent drunk driving will hold its inaugural HERO 5K Walk on Sunday, Oct. 20, 11 a.m. at Gillette Stadium, in Foxborough, Mass. The event, hosted by the New England Patriots and Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey, is expected to attract hundreds of walkers from throughout the Boston area in support of the John R. Elliott HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the stadium’s NRG Plaza. To register online, log on to www.theherowalk.org, or call toll free at 1-866-700-HERO.
The non-profit HERO Campaign was established in 2000 in memory of Navy Ensign John R. Elliott, who was killed by a drunken driver two months after graduating from the United States Naval Academy, where he was named the Outstanding HERO officer of his class. Over the past four years the Patriots have set an NFL record by registering more than 80,000 designated drivers at HERO booths throughout Gillette Stadium in partnership with the HERO Campaign and the NFL’s TEAM Coalition alcohol responsibility program. Each participating desig-
nated driver for friends or family receives a complimentary soft drink at stadium concession stands and Patriot Place. Designated drivers also receive the chance to be selected for the coin toss at the following Patriots home game, or if selected HERO of the Year, win tickets to join the Patriots if they are in the Super Bowl.
The partnership of Norfolk D.A. Morrissey with area schools and colleges, law enforcement, veterans groups, bar and tavern owners and area businesses to promote the campaign is especially meaningful as drunk driving is one of Norfolk County’s biggest problems. A county of commuters, with Gillette Stadium as the area’s premiere

Medway Veterans Sought to Be Celebrated this Veteran’s Day Save the date, as plans are in motion for Medway’s celebration of veterans coming up on November 11th, according to Col. Michael Matondi. “We’re going to have a program inviting veterans and their families to attend a ceremony at the Medway V.F.W.,” says Matondi, who notes that a short ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. sharp (please get there by 10:30), after which a ceremony for veterans will take place at the V.F.W., 126 Holliston Street, Medway.
“We are hoping to send out invitations to veterans we can have access to,” says Col. Matondi, who points out that if anyone knows a Medway veteran who should be included, they should contact one of the following: Col. Michael Matondi: (508) 5338400 Robert Saleski: (774) 634-9247 Dougas Downing: (508) 533-8150 Veterans may also sign up at the Medway Senior Center.

destination, drunk drivers are the second leading cause of unnatural death in Norfolk County. Last year, 40 lives were lost in Norfolk County at the hand of drunk drivers. “Time to step up and be a HERO," Morrissey said. "The more we involve people, particularly young people, in activities encouraging safe driving and good decisions, the more lives we will save and injuries we will prevent. This walk raises money for the project and enlarges the circle of people who are involved. It gives students an opportunity to earn community service credit in a way that is as fun as it is constructive – a chance to walk among HEROES.”
All student participants, from Norfolk County and beyond, will receive community service credit for participating in the HERO 5K Walk. Presenting sponsor Tedeschi Food Shops will be joined by businesses from Patriot Place, who will sponsor and enter teams for the HERO 5K Walk, to begin at Gillette Stadium’s NRG Plaza and proceed around the stadium, past the practice field, around Patriot Place Plaza, and finish in front of CBS Scene for awards and musical entertainment.

The Town of Millis does not have any form of public transportation. There are no buses, trains or taxis. Fortunately, Millis does have a Council on Aging which provides transportation for seniors and disabled residents to medical appointments, physical therapy, dialysis treatments and grocery shopping. The Council on Aging has two 8

Sports Medway Boys Soccer Eyes the Tourney BY CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY Jeff Hallenbeck took over the Medway boys soccer team four years ago. His first season at the helm was not all that impressive, housing a team that was relatively young and inexperienced in regards to varsity play. However, that team bought into Hallenbeck’s system and philosophy and quickly turned things around, earning a spot in the Division 2 South State Tournament. Last year, the Mustang kickers made another positive stride in advancing all the way to the championship contest. The Medway Boys Soccer team made it to the state tournament last year. This year, they're out to win it. Unfortunately, Medway fell to Medfield 1-0 on penalty kicks. great seeing the large number of keeper in senior striker Sean While the offense looks to have This fall Medway is hoping to fans that came out to support us.

they can move up, which opens up
the space to move the ball.” Hallenbeck will look to junior midfielder’s Adam Karacaoglu and Brendan Robinson to help control the pace of the game through the middle of the field, while looking for stellar play from sophomore goalie Mike Bagdon between the pipes despite this being his first varsity season. “We expect him to play very well us even though it’s his first year on the varsity squad,” Hallenbeck said. “He could have been the team’s back-up last year, but we decided to leave him on the JV team so that he could gain game experience.” The Mustangs will be looking to hang another Tri-Valley League Championship banner within the school, having grabbed their first one since 2007 last season, but it won’t be easy. “As always, it’s going to be tough, every team in the league is well coached and prepared to play,” the Medway coach said. “With that said, I have high expectations for this team. We did graduate a lot of good seniors, but we have quality athletes returning.” Charles River: a tugo-war! Millis won the tug-o-war across midfield but Medfield won the scrimmage. But both teams would agree that there was a bigger cause that everyone was playing for on Friday night and to that end the event raised $4,500 for the Taylor Sack Foundation. It was a job well done by two caring communities on a beautiful summer night in August.
Scrimmage Raises Funds for Local Athlete On Friday night August 30th the Millis/Hopedale and Medfield football communities came together at Millis for a scrimmage but also to help raise money for the Taylor Sack Foundation. Both teams warmed up on the field wearing matching gray t-shirts that read ‘staystrongsack’ on the front and Taylor’s
number 11 on the back. In a touching tribute to Taylor, the Medfield captains presented him with a Medfield game jersey with ‘Sack’ on the back. Instead of the traditional coin toss to decide the opening possession, the two teams turned the clocks back to an old tradition between the two towns once done across the

Sports Medway’s Sheehan Again Aims For Excellence On The Gridiron BY KEN HAMWEY Kevin Sheehan was the Tri Valley League’s lineman of the year as a junior last season when he competed as a two-way tackle for Medway.
Sheehan, who rates his parents (Bob and Lynne) as his role models, has a well-grounded philosophy of competition. Winning is very important but it goes hand-inhand with other values.
“Playing guard is appealing because it’s a physical position where you’re in the trenches,’’ Sheehan said. “I’m excited about the switch, because at guard you have to rely on athleticism. The key will be to stay sharp and quickly learn the nuances of the position.’’
“Kevin is smart, he’s strong and he’s athletic,’’ said Dave McSweeney, the Mustangs’ coach. “He dominates on offense, driving opponents way off their mark. On defense, he displays good lateral pursuit. He plays football only one way — relentlessly.’’ Medway suffered its first losing season of McSweeney’s coaching tenure last year, going 5-6. One of Sheehan’s objectives this year will be for the Mustangs to be a contender. “Obviously, we’ll strive to make the playoffs,’’ Sheehan said, “but to achieve that we have to look strictly at the short term. We need to improve each week and jell quickly. All the players know Medway has never been to the playoffs. We don’t talk about it much but it’s something that motivates me to excel and succeed. Being denied lights a fire in me.’’ Sheehan’s senior year should be another smashing success on the academic side. An honor student, he’s drawn interest from 30 schools, including Ivy League uni-
Sheehan, who plays back-up center in basketball, rates last year’s game against Dover-Sherborn as his best and one that helped the Mustangs get untracked. “It was our first victory of the year,’’ Sheehan noted. “What was rewarding about that game was the way the entire team improved and focused. We had a goal-line stand that sparked us and I remember blocking well on offense.’’
This year, the 6-foot-4, 285pounder has been moved to guard, and if he masters that position, chances are he’ll once again be in the running for high honors in the conference.
An aggressive lineman, Sheehan banks on size, strength and quickness, and when he’s on defense, his style is full speed ahead. Double-teams are no stranger to him and his ability to fight them off and cause havoc in an opponent’s backfield are what motivates Sheehan.
in me as a sophomore.’’
“I enjoy competing to win,’’ he said. “But, it’s also important to reach your potential and have fun. Our coaches don’t get wrapped up in individual statistics. They want us to do our job, and if we do, then we’re limiting our opponents’ yards. Everyone needs to work together.’’ Sheehan, who plans to major in business administration when he decides on his collegiate venue, has a favorite pro athlete. It’s Patriots all-pro tackle Vince Wilfork. “He has a hard edge on the field, but off it, he just seems to be a nice guy. I like that attribute,’’ Sheehan emphasized.

versities, Boston College, Purdue, Cincinnati, Connecticut and New Hampshire. “There’s little doubt Kevin will wind up in the Division 1 mix,’’ McSweeney said. “He’s been to lots of camps. If we bounce back this season, he will be one of the major factors.’’ Sheehan is quick to point to other teammates who’ll play key roles. He lists lineman Cam Smith, tail-
back Anthony Parchesky and linebacker-tight end Tim Huffam. “Cam is essential to our line, Anthony is one of the hardest runners in the league and Tim is so versatile and aggressive,’’ Sheehan said. “Also, our coaches are very supportive. Coach (Kevin) Clarke was my line coach last year and he helped my development. Coach McSweeney is all business and he’s motivating. He showed trust

Millis Golfers Make the Most of Their Small Group BY CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY Not being one of the larger schools in the Tri-Valley League has its disadvantages for a smaller stature school like Millis when it comes to athletics. While this may be the case, Millis golf coach Andy Ingham is not letting it bother him or his team. “The size of the school does create a challenge in the number of kids that we have to pick from, compared to other schools in our league,” the Mohawk Coach said. “But we’re not going to let it bother us. We’re going to be as competitive as we can, be ability wise, and improve from match to match while doing so with respect.” The golf team realizes that they are not going to miraculously rise to the top of the league and capture the championship. However, they are striving to show up as a team while playing respectful golf as they have in the past under Ingham. Millis has been honored by the league four straight years with the TVL Sportsmanship Award. “We may not have all the talent, but we do have a good group of kids who go out and play the game
while acting accordingly,” Ingham said.
Spangenberg, a sophomore who tried golf during the summer and found he enjoyed the sport more than football and Carter Burruss, a freshman who only took up the sport a year prior. Although young and inexperienced to the golf world, Burruss has shown the ability to find his way into the lineup on a regular basis this year.
Leading the Mohawks into battle on the links this fall will be senior co-captains Matt Dwyer and Camden Morrison; both whom have been with Ingham since the seventh grade. The two will compete for the number one spot for Millis. Last fall, Dwyer shot a 41 through nine holes of play and has improved considerably through the years according to the coach. “When he first came out, he was a much smaller athlete with what looked like kids' golf clubs,” the Coach said. “Now he’s grown into adult clubs and has decreased his average score from 55 to 41.”
ally tee off in the same location as the boys do,” Ingham said. “She was not all that happy with her performance at the beginning, but she recently shot a 37 and seems to be getting back into the swing of things.”
Dwyer’s main threat is Morrison, the team’s only female golfer. Playing alongside the boys doesn’t pose a threat to this senior either.
Not only will it be the co-captains that carry the load for Millis this fall, Ingham is relying on them to get the younger kids on the

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.

ages increased for all 35 projects examined for the 2013 survey, a remarkable turnaround from just a year earlier, when only three of the 35 projects saw an increase in cost-recouped percentage. Replacement projects proved especially beneficial for homeowners, who likely also benefitted from a real estate market that finally started to stabilize after an extended period of economic uncertainty that heavily influenced both buyers and sellers. While an economy on the rebound no doubt benefitted homeowners looking to recoup as much of their home improvement investment at resale as possible, other factors likely contributed as well. For example, homeowners surveyed for the 2013 report who added a backup power generator recouped more of their investment than in previous years. That's likely because heavily publicized storms, such as Superstorm Sandy in late 2012, have forced homeowners and prospective homeowners to place a greater emphasis on being prepared for such storms. Among the upscale projects surveyed, none recouped more of a homeowner's investment than replacing existing siding with fiber-cement siding. Homeowners who financed such a project recouped 79.3 percent of the project's cost, placing it just ahead of a garage door replacement, which recouped an average of 75.2 percent of its cost. After years of many home improvement projects recouping little of their initial costs at resale, the tide finally seems to be turning for homeowners.
