Community Spirit on Display By Patrick Coleman Wrentham Day returned last month and once again it brought out the Town’s spirit of community. It was a day to celebrate annual traditions and perhaps start a new one. Locals braved the heat and humidity to visit the vendors and clubs filling the Town Common. Folks were on hand to run and cheer during the 30th Wrentham Wroad Wrace. Children of all ages waited patiently for the Original Congregational Church to strike 1 o’clock to share in a giant banana split. The Common was filled with smiles and laughs as the Wrentham Lions, Police and Fire Departments participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge which quickly turned into a town spray park. Across the street, people filled The Old Fiske Museum to view a special exhibit organized by a Wrentham Boy Scout featuring the work of homeless from Boston. Wrentham Day also served as the introduction to the Town’s new superintendent of Public Schools and his family, while people’s thoughts were filled with the memory of a beloved mother and town bus driver. The Wrentham Wroad Wrace was the centerpiece of the morning and

By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer Chris Winbourne has all the attributes to be one of King Philip’s all-time best captains in football. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound two-way tackle is a team player, he’s eager to please, he’s willing to learn and he leads by example. Besides possessing high-caliber character traits, the Wrentham native is a dynamic force for the Warriors because he’s athletic, skilled and talented on both sides of the ball.

115 runners signed up for the 30th running of the 5K race. Wrentham Recreation Director Jeff Plympton was pleased with the numbers and said it was one of the best years for pre-registration. “Anything over 100 is good,” he says. The new Wrentham Public Schools superintendent Allan Cameron took the occasion of the race to introduce himself to the town. He ran wearing a shirt with Superintendent Allan Cameron written across the back. His family was on hand and his son even ran the race too. On the job since July, Cameron says he feels great about

“Chris is highly-respected,’’ said KP’s coach, Brain Lee. “When captains were chosen for this year, Chris got 64 out of 65 votes. His leadership is fantastic. As a tackle, he’s got good pursuit, excellent lateral movement and a motor that never stops. He’s also tough, quick and athletic.’’

his new position and the town. He was enjoying the day and said it was a good example of the town’s strong community feeling. “Wrentham Day is just another example of why Wrentham is a great place to live and work,” he says. He appreciated the Town Common’s trees which provided a nice break from the sun after his run joking that some seemed old enough to be planted by King Philip.

Another plus for any leader is being able to handle adversity and Winbourne dealt with misfortune in a positive way last November when KP faced Duxbury. Winbourne suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle, an injury that Lee called “gruesome.’’ Winbourne missed the Thanksgiving Day game against Franklin and the playoff matchup against Natick. “It took 5½ months, which involved three weeks in a wheelchair and six weeks on crutches,’’ Wilbourne said. “I missed the indoor track season but was ready for the outdoor season. The injury made me realize that any game could be my last. I got very good treat-

The race was won by Mark Capparella with a time of 18:56 and

Before I Die... Subm itted by Elizabeth Sm ith, KP Cares Do you know what you want to do before you die?

As teenagers in high school, we are often focused on things such as grades, test scores and college applications. We are so focused on our future plans and dream jobs that we tend to forget about the things that make us unique and are important to us. What do we really want to accomplish in our lifetimes? The KP Cares Community Service Club at King Philip Regional High School recently joined “a global art project that invites people to reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in

public space”(beforeidie.cc) with the creation of a “Before I Die Wall”. After months of planning, this wall took 2 months to complete and is located in the KPHS library. Deborah Colella, former recording secretary of the Wrentham Cultural Council (WCC), suggested the idea of the wall to Kayleigh Connor, student liaison of the WCC and secretary of KP Cares. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Plainville and Wrentham Cultural Councils, local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency network that supports thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences annually. The KP Cares Club was awarded $200 from both the Plainville and Wrentham Cultural Councils, resulting in $400 total for the creation of the wall. Students and visitors of KPHS are encouraged to check out the “Before I Die” wall, and contribute their own hopes and dreams for the future. Together as a community we can help each other reach our individual goals .

Mimi Fallon was the first woman to cross the finish line at 19:28. The first Wrentham finisher was Stephen Corcoran with a time of 21:58 good for 5th overall. The race was run by children, parents pushing babies in strollers, and parents being pushed in their running ability by talented children. Wrentham’s Molly Mullin and her mother Patty Mullin cross the finished line a one second apart both winning their respective age groups. First time Wroad Wrace participant and King Philip High School sophomore Nathan Quinn said before the race that he was there “just to have fun.” Quinn ended up winning his age group and taking home a plaque. Plympton cheered for all the runners as they neared the finish line providing words of encouragement and giving a high-five from time to time.

At the Old Fiske Library, Boy Scout Benson Colella held an art sale and exhibit featuring the work of six homeless artists from Boston. They are part of Common Art, a program that gives the homeless of Boston an opportunity to create artwork which is then available for sale. In addition, Colella organized an art supply drive. Boxes of supplies were donated and Colella was happy with the turn out and the interest in the program. “A lot of people came,” Colella said. “I’m very happy people had an opportunity to see these artists.” Wrentham Cultural Council chairperson Donald Smith was also pleased. He said Colella came to the Council with the idea and they thought it was pretty unique. “Benson has done a wonderful job,” he says. Other highlights of the day included the Wrentham Lions giant banana split that runs nearly the full length of David Brown Way. While the heat did its best

to turn the ice cream into a dairy soup, town folks did their best to devour the treat quickly. Overheard in the crowd, a woman reminisced about the days when the banana splits weren’t served in individual container. “We didn’t even have spoons,” she said. “We shoved our whole face into it.”

The hose was turned on a few more times to the delight of the children in the crowd and others trying to escape the heat of the day. It was also turned on to douse Sgt. Barry McGrath who didn’t get wet during the initial deluge.

Enjoying a Wrentham Day Tradition.

After the ice cream was cleaned up, Wrentham Fire Department prepared the ladder truck for a multi group, community Ice Bucket Challenge to Strike Out ALS. Last month, Wrentham’s

The excitement and joy the crowd felt with the chance to run around in the spray of the hose has to make you think Wrentham’s version of the Ice Bucket Challenge might make a return in 2015. The day was also an opportunity to remember Cheryl Maduskuie, who passed away last month. The wife of Wrentham Firefighter Bob Maduskuie, and mother to Brett and Connor, she was also known for being behind the wheel of Wrentham School Bus 2 and safely transporting the town’s children back and forth from school. Maduskuie’s family and friends were on hand with a booth, raising money, wearing Team Cheryl Shirts with the words “Fight Like an Irish Girl.”

gency responders joined the groups too to be on the receiving end of a torrent of water. As the water fell, the sounds of laughter rose filling the air. It’s hard to imagine that Wrentham Town Common ever had more smiles than at that moment. “And it’s all for a good cause,” said Fire Chief Jay McMorrow.

ment and therapy and I learned to develop patience.’’ A starter both ways last year, Winbourne was effective as a pass and run blocker on offense and he was highly aggressive in his defensive pursuits. His best game before his injury came in a 49-19 blowout against North Attleboro. “I had eight tackles for losses and on offense I threw a block that enabled Mark Glebus to score,’’ Winbourne noted. “I enjoy defense more because there’s pursuit and the challenge of dealing with more complex signals. To be solid both ways, the key is to rely on footwork and form on offense, and to use your hands and speed on defense to shed your opponent.’’ Starting this season with a 2-0 record, Winbourne is optimistic his final campaign on the gridiron will result in another playoff berth and hopefully a shot at winning a Super Bowl. He spent his summer preparing to meet those goals by being in the gym five days a week for weight train-

Winbourne rates fellow-captain Glebus (running back and safety) and Kyle Loewen (wideout and defensive back) as top-notch teammates. “Mark is our fastest player and he’s so dedicated, and Kyle has skills, good hands and speed,’’ he said. “And, our coach deserves lots of credit for the success we’ve had at KP. Coach Lee is a motivator who knows a lot about strategy. He focuses on doing things the right way.’’ Winbourne’s individual goals include yielding zero sacks on offense and compiling more sacks on defense. He’s also aiming for an interception. “Chris never gets tired and he’s very tenacious,’’ Lee said. “When he got injured last year, the first thing he said was ‘I’m sorry.’ That’s the kind of competitor he is.’’ A good student, Winbourne plans to play football in college, most likely at a school that has a quality criminal justice program. Calling his older brother Michael, who’s a freshman at the Air Force Academy, a role model for setting high examples and being motivating, Winbourne banks on an athletic philosophy that stresses “giving 100 percent and doing your best.’’

ing by example. Whether we win or lose, my primary emphasis is on performing at a high level.’’ The 64 votes Winbourne received in the election for captain is an indication of how he’s viewed by his teammates. “That tells me my teammates trust and respect me,’’ he said.

Green Film Series Starts Fall Program

Marching Band Show at KP High School

The Green Reel Collaborative will be offering a film series this fall at the Boyden Library in Foxboro. Films were previously shown in Attleboro for the past six years.

The King Philip Music Association proudly announces the annual King Philip Fall Classic Marching Band show sponsored by USBands on Saturday, October 4, 2014 at 6 p.m. at the King Philip High School,

The sustainability of our life on this planet is a concern of us all. We wish to provide opportunities for a broad audience to view the work of today’s film documentarians and obtain well sourced information that they can use in their individual lives as well as their communities. There are many talented filmmakers presenting important information about the challenges facing us and their vision for resilient communities. Three films that present a cross section of some of the most significant conerns will be shown this fall. All films shown on Sundays at 1:30 pm at the Boyden Library on the Foxboro Common are free. Deconstructing Supper – October 19 Chef John Bishop leads viewers on an eye-opening and engaging journey into the billion-dollar battle to control global food production. Starting with a gourmet meal in his five-star restaurant, Bishop travels the world -- from farmer’s fields to biotech laboratories to supermarket aisles -- on a personal quest to find out what our food choices are. Heist: Who Stole the American Dream – October 26 Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? traces the worldwide economic collapse to a 1971 secret memo entitled Attack on American Free Enterprise System. Written over 40 years ago by the future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, it called for a money-fueled big business makeover of government through corporate control of the media, academia, the pulpit, arts and sciences and destruction of organized labor and consumer protection groups. Wisdom to Survive – November 23 Wisdom to Survive accepts the consensus of scientists that climate change has already arrived, and asks—what is keeping us from action? In discussions with thought leaders and activists, the film explores how unlimited growth and greed are destroying the life support system of the planet, the social fabric of the society, and the lives of billions of people. This film discusses meaningful action that can be taken by individuals and communities.

Apps for the Interior Design World What was life like before smart phones? I have only had a smart phone for three years, but now that I have one, I don’t know what I would do without it. It has a camera so I can snap a quick picture, a calculator so I can quickly figure the 35% discount on a pair of shoes, and a GPS in case I get lost. I can check my email, keep up with my friends on social media, and play games when I am bored in a waiting room. It seems as though there is an app for just about everything. There are even apps that make my job as an interior designer a little bit easier, and can also be very helpful for people looking to remodel or redecorate. Here are a few of my favorites: Houzz--There was once a time when gathering design inspiration meant flipping through design magazines and putting paper clips on the pages that caught your eye. Or, you’d tear these pages out and stick them all in a bulky folder, but inevitably, you’d lose that one image that really spoke to your vision. Called “the Wikipedia of interior and exterior design” by CNN, Houzz is the new way to organize your design inspiration

images and ideas. The app, which features over 2 million high resolution photos, is a wonderful on-thego resource for finding, saving, and sharing inspirational images in “Ideabooks”, so that you always have them handy. I highly recommend that all my clients start an Ideabook for any project we work on together so I can get a better sense of their style and their desires for the space. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so having a plethora of inspirational images is invaluable. Photomeasure Lite--This app allows you to take a picture of a space and then draw measurements right on the picture within the app. While I prefer good old fashioned graph paper and pencil for typical measures, this app is great if you just need to take a few quick notes on a space. It is also good for homeowners searching for furniture or art to determine whether a piece will fit within the space, and is a great way to always have these notes and measurements on the go. Bubble Level (or any free level app)--This one is pretty simple, but it is so great having a level always

at your fingertips. It makes hanging wall art and pictures a cinch! Color Capture--Let’s say you have a tea kettle in a pretty pale yellow color that you really want to represent in your kitchen design. You’d love to paint your walls that pale yellow color. The old method would be you take home a bunch of paint chips, only to find that none of them are quite right. The next step is you start bringing the darn tea kettle around with you to paint stores trying to find a coordinating color, but you just end up looking silly. Cue the Color Capture app! With this app from Benjamin Moore, you can take a picture of pretty much anything, and as long as it is properly lit, the app will provide you with a color match, as well as coordinating colors to choose from! Alexandra Yavarow is one of the lead interior designers at Masters Touch, a design-build firm in Holliston, Massachusetts.

The PUrR-fect Cat Shelter

Pet of the Month

Available for Adoption! Meet our girl, Sweetie, who was surrendered to us about 2 years ago by a young man who said Sweetie had belonged to his girlfriend. When they broke up, he was “stuck” with Sweetie. He moved home and his mother told him that the “cat had to go”! Sweetie is an adult cat with a beautiful, long, white coat with some brown tiger patches. Though her coat is long, it is soft and she takes good care of it, and she has the most gorgeous tail of which she is very proud. Sweetie is a definite princess and like any princess, she wants attention, but only on her terms!! While not a lap cat, she loves to play and be around people. She is a fun girl... We feel that Sweetie needs to be the only “royal” pet in the household and she would do best in an adult home or a home with older children. If

Magical Summer Night of Music It was a very special Concert on the Common as Jeffrey Gaines hit the gazebo with a guitar and a little help from local musician Brian Stratton. The singer, songwriter from Pennsylvania filled the Wrentham evening air with his powerful voice for over 90 minutes and clearly enjoyed the crowd by commenting on children dancing and saying he wished there was a “town square” like Wrentham’s in his home of Philadelphia. Gaines willingly took requests from the crowd playing songs from his repertoire including “Hero in Me,” “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face,” “Nursery Rhyme,” Tom Petty’s “The Waiting,” and Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” Gaines also entertained the crowd by telling stories about Kenny Loggins, James Taylor and pausing to listen to the bells in the Original Congregational Church.

Victims of 9/11 Remembered By Patrick Coleman

This was the third year Wrentham held a ceremony to the town's 9/11 Memorial. In 2012, the memorial was dedicated after Boy Scout Troy Neubecker led a town-wide campaign to raise funds for its construction. Since its unveiling, the Boy Scouts have continued to hold annual ceremonies in honor of the victims of 9/11. (This article originally appeared online in The Wrentham Times, www.wrenthamtimes.com)

A ceremony to remember September 11, 2001 was held last month in the front of the Wrentham 9/11 Memorial. The brief gathering was organized and led by members of Wrentham Boy Scout Troop 131 and included members of Wrentham's emergency responders. The Scouts marched onto the Town Hall's lawn, the home to the 9/11 Memorial, presented the American Flag and led the crowd in the Pledge

of Allegiance. Members of Wrentham Police and Fire lined the brick path in front of the memorial. In addition to the placing of the wreath, a moment of silence was held, followed by the playing of God Bless America. "This is a tragedy we can not forgot," said Boy Scout Ryan Skinner, the service's only speaker. "May it never happen again."

Heroic Action By Eagle Scout Last month an SUV was spotted rolled over in the pond at the Big Apple Orchard. While calls were being made to 911, Wrentham's Will O'Rourke, an Eagle Scout with Troop 131, heroically dove into the water to see if anyone was in trouble. According to O'Rourke's father, Kevin O'Rourke, his son saw the vehicle rolling down the hill Will Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke into the pond. "He wanted to make sure no one was in the car," Kevin said. "That is why he jumped in."

The SUV proved to be unoccupied, but O'Rourke didn't know it at the time and that impressed Wrentham Police. On the department's Facebook page, they noted the Wrentham 17-year old "put his own safety aside for the sake of others." His heroic actions were brought to light by witnesses and O'Rourke simply "shrugged off the attention his heroic actions were getting." His parents, when asked how they felt about their son's selfless act, simply responded "proud." When told of O'Rourke's actions, his longtime scoutmaster Alan Plantamura said, "I'm not surprised at all."

LIVING HEALTHY Excellence in Cataract Surgery: Know What You Should Expect

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center

Cataract surgery is by far the most common surgery performed in the United States. With advanced technology and highly skilled surgeons, modern cataract surgery should be a rather quick, outpatient and minimal risk procedure. Your expectations should not only be to improve your vision, reduce glare at night, achieve brighter and more vivid colors and an overall improvement of your day to day activities, but you should also have an opportunity to reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts and in many cases eliminate this need. In 2014, how do you know you are getting the best resources, experience, skills and outcomes? Here are the questions you should be asking your surgeon: • What type of anesthesia am I going to get? With modern cataract surgery, most surgeries should be completed under topical anesthesia and local sedation. Local sedation means that the anesthesiologist will give you minimal sedation, allowing you to recover your activities after surgery almost immediately with little or no risk on your health. Topical anesthesia means that the surgery

eye becomes numb with drops. No need for injections and shots around the eye. No shots translates into less risk of bleeding and side effects from the shots. Ask your surgeon about his techniques and how your procedure will be performed. • What are the risks? One of the most dreaded risks of cataract surgery is accidental damage to the posterior capsule, which is the back wall of the bag holding your lens. This complication should happen in less than 5% of the cases, and the source of this information should be credible. Ask your surgeon about his/ her complication rate. • Where will the surgery be performed? Different centers have different equipment and resources. For instance, Massachusetts has only two centers offering bladeless cataract surgery, one of which is located in Waltham, MA and offering free door to door transportation service. Bladeless laser assisted surgery should be an option if you want to reduce dependence on glasses at the same time as your cataract surgery is being performed. This technology can also soften the cataract if it is dense and thick, allowing a safer and better outcome. Ask

your Ophthalmologist if he/ she is able to offer this technology. • What type of implant am I going to get? Different lens implants can be used during cataract surgery with different materials, quality and ability to reduce your need for glasses. Ask your surgeon what type of implants he/ she uses and why. • Will my need to wear glasses be reduced? Cataract surgery is a wonderful opportunity to limit or eliminate your need for glasses. As the surgeon removes the cataract, there is an opportunity to replace the cloudy lens with a special high tech implant able to achieve this goal. The new bladeless laser assisted surgery offers the opportunity to correct astigmatism at the same time as the surgery, allowing the lens implants to correct for distance, near and everything in between. Ask your surgeon if he/ she is able to achieve this goal. • What will be my vision on day one after the surgery? One of the measurements defining outcomes of cataract surgery is the quality of vision the day after the surgery. Surgeons should strive to produce a corrected vision as close to normal as possible on day one.

LIVING HEALTHY

The Role of Physical Therapy in Women’s Health Contributed by John Vacovec, Physical Therapist and CEO of Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab, Inc. Ever since the New York Times bestseller “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” by John Gray was published, more and more people have asked the question “What makes men and women so different?” It is important to understand that there are several physical and physiological attributes that are unique to women.

Physical therapists understand the physical differences (and unique needs) of the female population and are uniquely qualified to assist women to live healthy, painfree lives.

Healthy Aging for Older Women Specific actions need to be taken to ensure healthy aging for older women. Physical therapy can help identify (and eliminate) risk factors for falls and fractures. Regular strengthening and weight bearing

exercise can slow down the reduction in bone density as women age. Here are some of the conditions, common among women, in which physical therapy can play an important role: • Osteoarthritis • Osteoporosis • Breast and other cancers • Rehabilitation following breast surgery • Lymphedema • Post-menopausal heart disease • Chronic myofascial pain • Patellofemoral pain syndrome • Hypermobility syndrome • Multiple sclerosis • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction • Fibromyalgia • Ailments unique to female athletes Physical therapy, also, helps reduce discomfort and recovery before, during and after pregnancy.

Physical Therapy and Women’s Health Exercises and techniques to treat issues specific to women include: Muscle retraining – This creates body awareness (how you get in and out of your car, how you bend to pick things up, how you sit, overall posture, etc.) and improves movement patterns. Kegel exercises to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles in addition to Pilates can be very beneficial. Exercise Therapy – helps improve mobility, strength, and endurance. This also strengthens bones and joints.

Modalities – Application of heat and/or ice, electrical stimulation therapy, and massage therapy to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling. Manual therapy – helps improve joint and soft tissue flexibility and mobility by using repetitive and specific hands-on movements and motions. Every physical therapy program is different and is customized

to the patient’s needs. Physical therapy can make a difference to every member in your family at some point. Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab. Inc. has 2 convenient locations.

Youthful KP Golf Team Takes on the Hock By Christopher Tremblay

KP Golfers Sebastian Ladouis,Todd Bushway, Dan McLoughlin, Derek Roschlein, Greg Jacobson, Mickey Riley & Matt and Jeremy Smith.

Having graduated a good number of athletes from last year’s program, King Philip High School Coach Joe O’Halloran knows this season’s team needs to bring their “A” game each and every match. “We’ve graduated most of our team from last year and this year we’re going to be young and unskilled,” the Warrior Coach said. “We had a decent team last year, but this year is going to be a learning process with only one senior.” Greg Jacobson is the team’s one and only senior to tee off this fall for King Philip and although trying out for the team for the first time he should himself as one of the eight golfers in the starting rotation somewhere each match. With only one senior, O’Halloran

will have 11 of the 12 from this year’s squad coming back next season. One individual who has made a big impact early on this fall is freshman Danny McLoughlin. The first year varsity golfer has not only been impressive, but has shown a lot of poise on the course. According to the Coach, the freshman has played some tournament golf prior to making the KP team so he has not shown any nervousness at all. Sophomore Sebastian Ladoulis is another golfer that O’Halloran has high praise for. “Last year as a freshman he played in every one of our matches where his scores were used a majority of the time,” the coach said. “He definitely looks like one of the strongest golfers on the team. Right now he is

very good, but in the future he will become a great golfer.” Junior captain and three year starter, Todd Bushway has been a solid golfer for the Warriors over the past two years and the Coach is looking for him to lead the squad this season as he continues to shoot in the low 40’s.

all depends on how everyone comes together. Experience is definitely needed; repetition won’t really help, putting the ball into the hole will,” O’Halloran said. “All I know is that we lost a lot of starters and this year everyone is going to be looking to make an impact

and they will all certainly have the opportunities to do so.” As the season progresses Warrior golfers are going to use each and every match this season to perfect their game in hopes that next year King Philip will be a team to be reckoned with.

Other golfers on the KP squad are juniors Kyle McCarthy, Mickey Riley, Matt Smith and Derek Roschlein; sophomores Jeremy Smith, Sam Williamson and Jack Citarell and Matt Stanton. KP unfortunately has to play in the ever-so tough Hockomock League and how the Warriors do will all depend on how fast the golfers adapt. “At this point I have no idea on how this team will do; it

Proposed Wrentham Town Charter Vote to be conducted on November 4 On November 4, 2014, Massachusetts will conduct its General Election. Within that election, Wrentham will conduct a Special Election where voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballot to adopt or reject a town charter for Wrentham. Bringing a town charter to a ballot question for Wrentham has been more than a two year effort. In the spring of 2012 the Wrentham Board of Selectmen (BOS) formed a Town Government Study Committee (TGSC) and gave them the charge to “evaluate the effectiveness of the town’s organizational structure, manage-

ment systems and processes”.

to send a proposed charter to the General Court to be passed as a Special Act. At the Special Town Meeting on November 12, 2013, Wrentham Town Meeting affirmed this by a vote of 90-21. Secondly, the Massachusetts Senate and House of Representatives must vote to enact the charter. They did this in May 2014 and the Governor signed it into law on May 23, 2014. The third and final action is for Wrentham voters to accept or reject the approved Special Act at the ballot box on November 4.

From May 2012 to May 2013 the TGCS met with numerous state agencies and every board, committee and department in Wrentham to analyze and assess the town’s management systems and processes. In July 2013, the TGSC reported back to the BOS and recommended that the key tool to overall improvement would be to develop and enact a town charter. The BOS accepted the recommendation. Adoption of a town charter is a three step process. First, town meeting must vote affirmatively

The purpose of the proposed town charter is to articulate the

organization, responsibilities and authorities of town government in a single comprehensive governing document. The charter modernizes the general structure of Wrentham’s town government to handle the increasing governmental complexity, and to more professionally serve the municipal requirements of the town. The charter in effect acts as constitution for the town. Over 130 cities and towns in Massachusetts have already enacted a Charter. One of the primary reasons towns have enacted a Charter is to move to a more professional administration of local government.

Wrentham currently operates without a charter. Copies of the proposed town charter can be found outside of the BOS on the second floor of Town Hall, in the lobby of the Fiske Public Library on Randall Road, and at the Senior Center on Taunton Street. Copies can also be found on the Town’s web site at http://wrentham.ma.us/. Click on “Click here for Final Signed Charter” on the yellow scroll bar at the top of the page.

from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Yoga is more than the yoga exercise and postures (asanas). Yoga is about “yoking” or bringing together - aligning, balancing, and centering the mind, body, and spirit. When we rely on the steady flow of our breath, yoga postures and ultimately meditation becomes easier; the daily challenges of life become less taxing and we are better able to relax and be at peace. We will go through a yoga practice, emphasizing the idea of “your mat - your practice” which simply means honoring your body and doing what feels right for you to do during the time that we share. Finally, we will close with a guided meditation. No experience with yoga or meditation is necessary. Children over 12 welcome. Fee: $50m/ $60nm Pre-registration is required for all programs (except as noted). For more details, visit the Mass Audubon webpage at www.massaudubon. org or contact us at (508) 5283140.

Fall Financial Tidbits Summer has come to an end. Now that the hottest days, family vacations and back-to-school rush are behind us, it’s a great time to give some attention to your personal finances. Prepare for the coming months – and the holidays on the horizon – with these fall tips:

• Pay quarterly estimated taxes. If you’re self-employed or you have extra income you haven’t reported on your W-2, now’s the time to make sure you’re paying both state and federal quarterly estimated income taxes so you don’t get stuck with a big bill from Uncle Sam in April. September 17th was the deadline to pay your third quarter estimates, but don’t let that stop you from sending something in anyway. • Prepare for the cooler months. Although you may still have summer on your mind, staying warm gets expensive when winter hits. Many utility companies offer “budget billing” 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. • 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 “Christmas Club” savings account in the New Year to jump-start your savings habit.

PERMANENT items you may want to keep:

• Teach children to save. When kids return to school, they often have a renewed sense of focus and determination. Schools across the country are incorporating financial literacy into the classroom. Take this opportunity to talk to your children about money and the importance of saving. Your efforts will be rewarded as your child develops an understanding of financial principles and positive financial habits. HarborOneU in Mansfield has a great free class called “Piggy Bankers” that can help.

Employment records

• De-clutter and donate. As summer winds down and you start spending more time inside, take a hard look at all the stuff you’ve been stockpiling. Sorting through clothes you no longer wear along with electronics and unused household items can free-up space and even make you a little cash. Sell items at a local consignment shop or donate them (by making a tax-deductible contribution).

Cancelled checks

• 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. Always remember that any financial transaction, receipt or account statement should be shredded. NEVER throw them in the trash.

Rescue of the Bounty Financial Focus Presentation at Norfolk Library Prepare Yourself for the Unexpected a Mayday explaining that the vessel’s pumps could not keep up with the incoming water. A few hours later, in the dark of night, the vessel suddenly heeled over, sending the crew tumbling into the ocean filled with crashing thirty foot waves. Some were swept far from the ship, others found themselves tangled in the rigging, while others were trapped below the surface by the masts and spreaders. “I enjoy doing these programs,” says Tougias, “because I like to transport the audience into the heart of the storm so that they ask themselves ‘what would I have done.’ It’s like watching a movie with the author giving behind the scene details.” Tougias says that besides focusing on the voyage and the disaster he will recount the heroic rescue attempts by Coast Guard rescue swimmers and pilots. A book signing will follow the program, and the presentation is suitable for all ages. (Rescue of the Bounty is dedicated to librarians, and Tougias acknowledges that “our libraries are national treasures.)

Michael J. Tougias, co-author of Rescue of the Bounty, will give a dramatic visual presentation about this event at the Norfolk Public Library on October 1st at 7 p.m. The tall ship Bounty, featured in the Marlon Brando movie Mutiny on the Bounty, sank during Superstorm Tougias, known for his fast paced Sandy in 2012. The captain and a writing style and character-driven crewmember perished in the acci- stories, has written several true surdent but the Coast Guard performed harrowing helicopter rescues to save the other fourteen sailors. Tougias will use slides of the storm, the survivors, and the rescue to make this “an edge-of-your seat” visual program.

vival thrillers, including The Finest Hours, which is currently being made into a major motion picture by the Disney Corporation. His other sea saga’s, include Overboard!, Fatal Forecast, A Storm Too Soon, and Ten Hours Until Dawn, which was selected by the American Library Association as an Editor’s Choice, “One of the best books of the Year.” On a lighter note, the author penned the award-winning memoir There’s A Porcupine In My Outhouse: Misadventures of a Mountain-man Wannabe. His latest two books are Derek’s Gift: A True Story or Love, Courage and Lesson’s Learned, and a new book he co-authored with his daughter Kristin titled The Cringe Chronicles: Mortifying Misadventures with My Dad. Visit www.michaeltougias.com for more information. The Norfolk Public Library is located at 139 Main Street, Norfolk and the program is offered free of charge and is open to the public.

The story begins on October 25, 2012 when Captain Robin Walbridge made the fateful decision to sail the HMS Bounty from New London, Connecticut to St. Petersburg, Florida. Walbridge was well aware that a hurricane was forecast to come up the Eastern seaboard. He explained to his crew of 15 that the ship would fare better at sea than at port, and that he thought he could sail “around the hurricane.” He told the crew that anyone who did not want to come on the voyage could leave the ship and there would be no hard feelings. No one took the captain up on his offer, and this decision would have fatal consequences. Four days into the voyage Superstorm Sandy made an almost direct hit on the Bounty. The captain issued New pricing on this stunning custom built estate home located on a scenic dead end country road. Picturesque setting. The property offers a resort style atmosphere with oversized patio, heated in ground gunite pool ,spa, cabana, and children’s playhouse .Chef kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, oversized island with granite counter.

Article 10 – Sept. 8, 2014 Are you ready for this? September is National Preparedness Month. Sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Preparedness Month seeks to educate Americans on preparing for natural disasters and other types of emergencies. But you’ll also need to prepare for unexpected events in many other areas of your life — particularly those events related to the financial security of you and your family. Here are some of the most important of these events, along with possible preparations for them: • Unanticipated early retirement – If you encounter a “downsizing” or other occurrence that results in the loss of a job, or even the end of a career, before you expected it, would you be able to avoid major disruptions to your lifestyle? To help prepare for such a loss of income, make sure to fully fund your IRA each year. The maximum contribution is $5,500 per year plus an additional $1,000 for those age 50 and older. • Disability – Even a short-term disability can seriously harm your finances — and a long-term disability could prove devastating. Your employer might offer some form of disability insurance, but it may not be sufficient. So you may need to explore private coverage. • Personal liability – If someone were ever injured on your property or due to some action of yours, you could face legal actions demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars. To help protect yourself, consider adding umbrella liability insurance. • Changing family situation – Changes in your life — marriage, divorce, remarriage, children, stepchildren — can drastically affect your estate plans and the type of legacy you want to leave. To prevent unpleasant surprises for your family, make sure you periodically review beneficiary designations on your investment accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k), and work with your tax and legal advisors to update your estate-planning documents — will, living trust and so on — as needed. • Outliving your money – Once you reach retirement, your greatest

concern may be that you’ll outlive your money. To help prevent this from happening, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy — that is, determine how much you can take out each year from your investment and retirement accounts, and stick to this amount. • Need for long-term care – You can’t predict whether you will ever need to enter a nursing home or require the assistance of a home health care worker, but one thing is for sure — these services are extremely expensive. Consider this: The national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To help prepare for these costs, you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor, who can suggest appropriate solutions. • Untimely death – Your absence could jeopardize your family’s financial security, particularly if you passed away while your children were still at home. To help ensure that your family could remain in the home and that your children could go to college, if they choose, make sure you have adequate life insurance. Your passage through life will be filled with twists and turns, and you can’t always see what lies ahead. But you can ease your journey by preparing yourself for the unexpected.

home MARKETPLACE It’s a Sign of the Times...

The town of Franklin is experiencing an extreme sellers’ market with only 1.5 months (6 ½ weeks) of resale inventory remaining for sale. When there is an absorption rate of less than 5 months, that’s indicative of a seller’s market; with 5 or 6 months, it’s a level market; and with more than 6 months, it’s considered a buyer’s market. What does this mean to a homeowner? What this means is that the homeowner needs to be very careful when selecting a real estate agent to market their home. As with any task, there is a right way and a wrong way to approach this important step. Hiring a Realtor requires an “interview process” and there should be more than one Realtor interviewed. All Realtors are not created equally. “Marketing” is the main function of every listing agent, and this should be the main focus of the interview. There are a series of questions that are often overlooked, and I’ve provided a small sample of what a homeowner might want to consider asking. The Internet is a critical tool for selling a home. How will you market my property online? Do you have your own personal Real Estate website for marketing homes? Will you be using video and virtual tours to market my home? Do you use social media marketing in your business such as Google+? Since people want to do business with successful people, another important question is this: As far as production is concerned, if I called the owner of your company would he/she tell me you were one of the top producing agents in the company or a middle-of-theroad agent? Another very important question to ask of every agent you will be interviewing is: “Will

you allow me to terminate the listing contract if I am not completely satisfied?” A Realtor who is confident that he/she will get the job done should have no problem putting this clause in writing! Listing property is a major responsibility for the Realtor, and a seasoned agent will understand what is required to provide the best exposure to secure the most money in the

shortest period of time. Asking the right questions during an interview will provide the homeowner with a clear picture of whom to select.
