Holliston’s 13th Breast Cancer Walk Sunday, October 18th
To date, Holliston’s own Walk Against Breast Cancer has raised $540,000 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Event organizers work hard to ensure that 100% of the proceeds go to their cause. This year’s Walk will take place October 18, from the Congregational Church Green at 1:30 p.m. Photo used courtesy of Jayne Jones.
Holliston’s homegrown effort in the battle against breast cancer will once again take place this month, as the 13th Walk Against Break Cancer steps off
at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 18, 2015 from the Congregational Church Green, 725 Washington Street in Holliston. This walk, in honor of Maryellen Anne Miller, one of the walk founders and personal fighter of

With a little support from the community of Holliston, a couple low-income families might be able to find an affordable home in town. Local folks Todd Barber and Doug Schmidt are working with Habitat for Humanity Metrowest/Greater Worcester and the Holliston Housing Trust to transform two empty lots in town into affordable homes. “I had always said when I think I have some time to give back I want to do something like Habitat,” says Barber, a former 15-year resident of Holliston and property owner in town who says he was inspired by his father to do community service. A friend, he said, who worked for Habitat for Humanity connected him to the Executive Director of the local organization. In February, he says, he really got the project up and rolling by reaching out to Doug Schmidt, who said, without hesitation, that he would help. “So we’re the co-

leaders of the Holliston local project committee for Habitat for Humanity,” says Barber. The idea of Habitat for Humanity is to “offer a hand up, not a hand out, for deserving families,” says Debby Huegel, Director of Development for the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity, which serves 42 towns throughout the region. Qualifying families must fall into the range of 30 to 60 percent of the median income of the town, putting 400-500 hours of their own sweat equity either into the project or by volunteering in other ways for Habitat for Humanity. The land or homes are generally donated to the organization. Bryan Clancy, Director of the Holliston Housing Trust as well as President of Habitat for Humanity Metrowest/Greater Worcester says that after voters voted down a sewer plan on

BLADELESS CATARACT SURGERY? (FEMTOSECOND LASER)
IS YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGIST TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE?
T
here is a new medical device that has been introduced to make the initial incision before for cataract surgery, called the femtosecond laser. It may add a minimal level of precision to the procedure. However, the marketing people have been clever: Note the use of the term "bladeless." This preys on our inherent fear of being cut in the eye. A laser is just as
"sharp" as a blade, but it sounds so much more benign.
$3000 or more per eye extra for their "premium" cataract surgery.
A BOSTON BASED OPHTHALMOLIGIST COMMENTED; “Seems a bit shady to me. I have heard ads on the radio that say, 'If you aren't getting laser cataract surgery you aren't getting the best!'" So what does this mean for the medicare patient convinced by their unethical ophthalmologist to have a premium IOL or toric lens implanted? Well, they not only will be charged for that premium toric astigmatic lens (many times around $1500-2500 extra depending on the surgeon) but also they will be charged an "imaging fee" for use of the femotosecond laser. This imaging fee can essentially be whatever the surgeon wants it to be. The various device companies charge you for the laser and a "per-click" use as well. So now the patient is paying
ANOTHER BOSTON OPHTHALMOLIGIST COMMENTED; “I liken the assistance the femtosecond laser gives cataract surgeons to bathroom attendants in high-dollar nightclubs and restaurants:” “Thanks, but I can grab the towel and soap myself.” The Cataract Surgery Center of Milford
is the first in Massachusetts to obtain the very highly accurate “fingerprinting” imaging of the eye; The Verion System. The Verion System allows your surgeon to now customize every aspect of your cataract procedure. From the measurements taken prior to your surgery all the way through to receiving your new lens, every step of The Verion System procedure is tailored specifically to your eye, your vision goals and your lifestyle. The Verion System works together with the high technology of the Centurion phacoemulsification and Leica microscope in the operating room where the “fingerprinting” image from The Verion System connects the patients information in real time. Since each eye is unique with their own “fingerprint”, there is no mistaken whose image belongs to whom. The best part is that there is no additional charge or “click” fee! It’s all part of giving our patients the very best, “Conceirge, Cataract Care.”
At the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford, not only are we conveniently located in our great community of Milford, we also carry Alcon astigmatic premium lenses for $800.00!
They're your eyes and you should get the very best without compromising your retirement fund. You have choices and you should “shop” around, even for your cataract surgery. You shouldn't have to financially put the brakes on your lifestyle in order to get the best lens implants that technology can offer you today. Explore your options at www.besteyedoc.com or call us at 508-381-5600 We always have and always will strive to provide the very best “Conceirge, Cataract Care”.

Five Weekend Do It Yourself Projects under $1,000 By John Szolomayer Your home is your refuge, and it’s important to take stock occasionally and consider some improvements, even if you are not planning to sell. Home improvement projects don’t have to break the bank or take weeks of your time. There are plenty of projects you can handle yourself in just a weekend. Here are 5 suggestions that are all smart improvements and will not cost more than $1,000.
No. 1: Freshen Up Your Entry If the first sight that meets your eyes when you arrive home is a tired front door with zero curb appeal, it’s time to freshen things up. An inviting entrance makes the whole house better, and it’s not hard to create. Decide whether you need to replace your front door entirely. It’s often enough to apply fresh paint and hardware to your door. Consider putting your house number on the door frame, and
adding an attractive, updated light fixture. Depending on the space, you might consider adding some flowers or greenery in an attractive planter, some comfortable seating, or a colorful doormat.
No. 2: Update Lighting Changing out light fixtures is a quick DIY project that instantly improves the look of a room. Create a harmonious feel by selecting fixtures that complement each other and your home’s overall style. For under-illuminated areas, add a handsome table or floor lamp. Overhead lighting can be too harsh for most rooms, so make your home comfortable and functional. If you’re on a really tight budget, try spraypainting some of your existing fixtures.
No. 3: Modernize the Bathroom The bath is a great place to look for a quick project, and modernizing this small space
can be easy and fast. Even if you need to hire a plumber for some jobs, you can still get a lot done for under $1,000. You can put in a beautiful new vanity within this budget. Or maybe you just need to update the hardware. Put sleek stainless pulls on drawers and cabinets, add a wonderful new showerhead for your morning drench. These small improvements add up to big impact.
favorite things? Adding shelving is a very doable DIY project that will come in well under $1,000. You can create your own shelves or buy them ready to hang for under $100. Then choose some of your favorite items and put it on display! These improvements will make your home a little sweeter and give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment. Give yourself
the gift of better surroundings, and enjoy your home more every day. Information provided by John Szolomayer from Hallmark Sotheby’s International Realty in Hopkinton. Each office is independently owned and operated, John can be reached for more information at (508) 259-4788 or at JohnSzolomayer.com
No. 4: Replace Kitchen Hardware You’ll be amazed at the difference you can make in your kitchen by just changing the cabinet and drawer hardware. The cabinetry makes up the bulk of your kitchen space, so this change is really dramatic. You’ll find hardware in a huge range of styles and price points. Look at your favorite home store, or shop online.
No. 5: Add Storage This weekend why not create an attractive place for your

Finding Fantastic Foliage around the Corner from Where You Live By Marjorie Turner Hollman For many of us, our goal in the fall is to find that picture-perfect view just like we saw in our favorite magazine. You know what I’m talking about: glowing, fiery orange sugar maples on a town common, white church strategically placed amidst the trees, the hillside backdrop aglow. The reality that most of us see? A whole lot of color interspersed amongst trees that aren’t quite with the program yet. Pine trees disrupting the show, while other deciduous trees steadfastly remain on their own time schedule. Trees that have partly “turned” while the rest of the tree stubbornly remains green. And just when we think we’ve found a perfect spot, the rains of autumn arrive, washing all the color away overnight. To find those great spots, it takes a little practice—perhaps even a small amount of “detecting.” In the process of creating two walking guides to very local trails in south central Massachusetts, I’ve taken photos along each of these trails, sharing with others the stunning beauty found on these local paths. Last fall I made a special effort to capture some of fall’s colors.
Look to sources of water to find early Autumn color on walking trails, but hurry! These trees generally are the first to drop their leaves.
And that’s when I realized how very fleeting indeed is this season that New England is so well-known for. Lasting just a few weeks, the season can be dramatically shortened with one heavy rainstorm. And yet…even when all the other trees have dropped their leaves in one fell whommp! the oaks hold on. “Eh, it’s just oaks,” you might say. Yes, oak trees will cling to their leaves, some all the way till the following spring when new growth

finally succeeds in pushing the old leaves out of the way. But sometimes, when the light is right, the oaks will glow with a bronze glory that nearly outshines their sugar maple cousins, the prima donnas of the foliage season. Some basic things to keep in mind to find fantastic foliage around the corner from where you live: Learn where the walking trails are near your local rivers, streams and ponds. Many of these bodies of water have walking trails that are great spots to visit year

round; along the Blackstone River in Uxbridge, Northbridge, Millville and Blackstone; next to the Upper Charles River in Mil-
ford, Bellingham, Medway, Millis and Medfield and Sherborn; the Neponset River in Walpole: the Sudbury River in Framingham. Mill Pond in Westborough offers a great walk; or try walking along the north shore of Lake Whitehall in Hopkinton. Many towns have small ponds that are great spots to look for foliage. By visiting prior to foliage season, you’ll familiarize yourself with those picture-perfect spots. Visit these trails first, since often trees along waterways will drop their leaves first. Start learning to recognize common trees, shrubs and plants. Many plants besides the iconic maples and beeches provide colorful displays. Bringing samples home for identification can help in this learning process, but be forewarned—poison ivy joins the autumnal party. You’ll be very sorry if you bring these colorful leaves back home with you! Search out beech groves, (those trees with smooth, gray bark that people seem to revel in writing their initials on) like the ones at Hopedale Parklands, or Moosehill Audubon in Sharon, and remember where these groves are so you can revisit at the height of the season. As you stroll among the beech

trees, be sure to look up—in the sunlight, the yellow leaves positively glow. Visit spots with views. South Central Massachusetts has many easy walking trails, but not as many overlooks as you’ll find in New Hampshire or Vermont. Plan to visit places like Joe’s Rock in Wrentham, Lookout Rock in Northbridge; Noanet Peak at Noanet Woods in Dover; Rocky Narrows in Sherborn; and the overlook on the Bluff trail at Moosehill Audubon, Sharon, just to name a few. These all offer easy walks to sweeping vistas of the New England countryside. Get acquainted with your local cemeteries. Every New England community has cemeteries, old and new. Many of these places, set aside for remembrance, are ideal for foliage viewing. No power lines get in the way of the view, the “neighbors” are quiet, and many graveyards have mature sugar maples that offer a glorious autumn display in the fall. Many cemeteries have paved walkways that make for easy walking. Check with your local cemeteries, or historical committees to see if they have restrictions, limit parking, or have any rules that would limit your ability to park nearby and explore. Practice using your camera prior to autumn. Foliage looks different at different times of the day. Visit your favorite spots at various
times; early morning, mid day, and late afternoon. Many overlooks face only one direction. Depending on the time of day, you may see very little if the sun is in your eyes, and too much light will wash out any color. And if you can’t get out on the trail? Simply enjoy driving along back roads, which often have sugar maples, ash trees, birch, and other species along the way just waiting for you to come by to appreciate the show. Autumn is a wonderful time in New England. People travel from around the globe to take part in this yearly event. For those of us lucky enough to live right nearby, be sure to enjoy it while you can, and remember to look nearby. With a little practice, you can become a foliage detective, discovering foliage in all the right places. Happy detecting!

Is a Kitchen Remodel Worth the Investment? Answer is YES: kitchens and bathrooms are at the top of the list in terms of return on investment! In the hottest housing markets, springing for a kitchen remodel is a sure-fire investment, often returning 70 – 100% of the cost. Of course there are many other primary factors that will determine your home’s value and those need to be taken into consideration as well. A good realtor will inform you of the variables to consider. Once the market conditions and comparable home values are determined and the overall condition of the home is established as sound, the amenities of the home are considered, and the kitchen is the most valuable! If you are planning to stay in your home and enjoy your new kitchen for a period of years before putting your house on the market, you will probably want to include some personal selections. Some of these may not be the most popular for resale. There is certainly value in your
own personal enjoyment! It is intangible, but value nonetheless. In this case, you may want to plan for a minor update later to make the kitchen attractive to more buyers. So it makes sense to limit those personal selections to materials and finishes that can more easily be changed later. If you are doing your kitchen remodel almost entirely for resale value, it is best to select the materials that will appeal to the largest percentage of your target market. For instance, in most markets stone countertops are a must. Buyers are looking for natural stone such as granite or the latest in quartz products. These are the two most durable choice and will immediately provide a polished, natural look for showing off the kitchen. Next, the

cabinets should be wood as opposed to a laminate or other material. Whether they are stained or painted, new home buyers will be looking for wood. Flooring should be either tile, stone or hardwood. Appliances should
be high quality and have that stainless, commercial look. Interior storage solutions in cabinets is extremely popular and soft close drawers have become standard with many cabinet companies. This is a soughtafter feature in the resale market today. Further, the style of the kitchen should be in keeping with the architectural style of your home. If you have a traditional style home, a contemporary kitchen will reduce your market significantly and vice versa. It is always safe to go transitional. Keep the selections simple and as neutral as possible without getting too bland. Avoid extremes such as exotic wood and bold colors and contrasts. If possible, make the space as open as possible, even if it means removing a wall or reconfiguring the layout. This is almost always worth

the expense. Remember, hiring a professional kitchen designer and reputable contractor will save unnecessary and costly mistakes. The kitchen is the heart of any home and is where the majority of time is spent as well as the largest return on investment. Finally, remember to plan well in advance. If you are considering a job for January 2016, or even spring 2016, it would be wise to hire a company for the work now since the market has been very busy this year, and projects to stay busy right through 2016.

CANCER WALK continued from page 1
its fundraising arm, The Jimmy Fund. Since the Walk’s inception, the event has raised $540,000 for the DCFI, with every penny made donated to the cause. “When you think about it, when we started this walk, there were very few walks in our town,” says Jayne Jones, one of the original organizers and friends of Maryellen. “Subsequently, walks have become a big fundraising event in addition to how they have golf tournaments.” Jones says that she isn’t daunted by a drop in the numbers of people walking in the Walk Against Breast Cancer, because, she says, the people who do walk are actually raising more funds now. “We still think it’s valuable,” says Jones. “It’s still nice to have a community that’s rich with
Local Town Pages www.hollistontownnews.com kids getting out there and adults getting out there and working together. To me, that is part of the essence of why we started the walk, to raise money, but also community awareness,” says Jones. “Small things matter. It’s not as big as the Pan Mass Challenge or Avon, but you can kind of do a homegrown event that’s important to a lot of people. Maryellen was our friend, and you know, we’re happy that there are more walks. People are taking the time to make a difference and do good works.” In addition to pledges by walkers, the event raises funds thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals, who donate items for the silent auction and gift baskets. Volunteer Katie Connors handles those donations and is always looking for a new service or gift to add to the grand prize drawing or silent
auction. She can be reached at connors.kate@gmail.com. Even non-walkers can take part in the silent auction or gift basket chances, with suggested donations 1 for $5, 3 for $10, 8 for $20 (Best Deal!). Donations for these opportunities of chance will be taken starting at 11:30 a.m. “We certainly understand our local sponsors get asked all the time, but the people who have been donating to us continue to do it,” says Jones, adding,” I’m certain everyone has been touched in some way by breast cancer and they want to be a part of it and see what they can do.” Jones and all of the organizers are very proud of the fact that all the proceeds go to Dana Farber. Not only does the money raised pay for patient care, but it also goes to research scientists who need money to run preliminary tests in order to get backers. The
Page 11
organization was chosen, she says, “because Maryellen had such a good experience that she was really passionate about earmarking money raised for breast cancer research and patient care.” Sponsors of the event cover operating costs, says Jones. www. hollistonwalks.org Our sponsors cover our operating costs,” says Jones. She says the Walk has been fortunate for a couple of years, with the Walking Company actually contacting the organization about providing tshirts, but this year, the contact at the company changed and sponsorship also needs to cover the cost of the t-shirts. At any rate, she says, the group always tries to pull off the event “as lean as we can,” to maximize the donation to Dana Farber. Sponsor levels include a Banner Sponsorship, at $1,000 or
more, a Pink Ribbon Sponsorship, for $350 or a Walk Partner Sponsor at $175. Interested sponsors can contact Denise Cronin denisecronin@hotmail. com, (508) 429-1937 or Maryann Marcoux, maryann.marcoux@ verizon.net (508) 898-3754 for more information. Jones says she realizes that there is competition for fundraising around town, but, she says, “That’s what makes Holliston a really neat community. I think with different coaches and teachers and other leaders of organizations, it’s nice to see. I hope people rally around all causes.” You can register at for the Holliston Walk Against Breast Cancer at Hollistonwalks.org, with minimum donation of $100 adults, $50 students and seniors, with family cap of $250 (immediate family members only).

HABITAT PROJECT continued from page 1
two lots of land on Chamberland Street, the Holliston Housing Trust was able to get that surplus land earmarked for low income housing. After receiving approval from the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) in the fall, the Trust entered into a development agreement with Habitat for Humanity this past spring for the project. “Plans are there will be a single family, three-bedroom, 1.5 bath, approximately 1,200 square feet that will benefit two low-income families,” says Huegel. Groundbreaking would not begin until the spring of 2016. First, however, Habitat requires a commitment from members of the town in both volunteers and donations. “When you think about Habitat, you think, ‘Oh great! Let’s go build something!’ but what I quickly realized and found out is you don’t get to actually start building until you have funds committed for a particular project. Part of it is getting enough funding from the community for Habitat to commit to it,” says Barber. “The budget is over $400,000,” says Clancy. “The fundraising goal is $200,000 in cash or in-kind donations. That’s enough for the Habitat board to let us proceed with the groundbreaking.” The project has a YouCaring site to which residents can donate. Those interested can search for Holliston Habitat for Humanity or simply type in the link https:// www.youcaring.com/habitatfor-humanity-metrowest-greaterworcester-406342. “We’ve got about 30 people that have been to at least one of our meetings, which is really focused on community outreach and fundraising, and another 30 who have raised their hands to donate their time or services,” says Clancy. “We’re trying to get the word out,” says Barber, “working on a variety of ideas on how to raise
PLEASE RECYCLE THIS PAPER
the funds.” Barber says the group will approach local corporations about getting their company and employees involved. “A great way to raise funds to have companies sponsor us. For $2,500 they can purchase a ‘build day,’ -- that’s a day they can send 15-20 of their employees to work on the site for community service,” says Barber. Groups can also purchase a “Project Playhouse” kit for $2,500, which can be delivered to their company’s parking lot and assembled at their location in one day. Generally, these are donated to the family of a serviceperson or veteran, and funds benefit Habitat for Humanity. In fact, the Holliston group assembled one of these kits at Celebrate Holliston. Barber adds that money isn’t the only type of donation Habitat tallies up in considering the project. Donations of services by skilled workers also counts. “In-kind donations go a long way to get us to some point where we can break ground and start the process,” he says. The group hopes to receive support from local churches and synagogues, encouraged, says Clancy, because “there’s a lot of experience in mission trips, so there’s interest in this kind of work.” One of the two houses planned for Holliston will give preference to a family from Holliston or an employee of town.

Holliston Habitat Donates Playhouse to Local Veteran’s Family By J.D. O’Gara Celebrate Holliston was a great place to familiarize thousands of Holliston residents with Habitat for Humanity and the effort to build two local, affordable homes for deserving lowincome families. How better to spread the word than to have a “build day” right on the grounds of Goodwill Park. “Project Playhouse is a part of Habitat for Humanity,” says Debby Huegel, of Habitat for Humanity Metrowest/Greater Worcester. The fundraiser for Habitat, she says, is a popular one for companies and other groups, who purchase a playhouse kit (sponsorship) for $2,500 and then have 10-12 of their employees or members of their group build it in one day. In the end, the playhouse is donated to the family of a veteran or service member. That family at Celebrate Holliston, found by the Blue Star Mothers, was the Westberg family of Uxbridge, who included Keith, an Iraq veteran, mother Marilyn, Emily and Nathanial. (The latter wasted no time getting acquainted with his new play digs, that’s complete with a little solar panel to

Wear White at Night or Reflective Clothing, Women’s Network Exchange Meeting Oct. 20th Cautions Motorist Dear Editor I have been a resident of Holliston for many years and I reside in the Queens development. I am writing to you in hopes that you will print this for all who read your paper to see. There are many people who go out walking, jogging, or walking their dogs when it is dark outside. Many of these people wear no reflective clothing or shoes so that they can easily be seen by motorists. I have had close en-
counters when I go out driving in the evening, as they are difficult to see until you get very close to them. This is a potential danger to both the pedestrian and the motorist. Even a reflective armband would be a great help. Let’s keep out community safe by being cautious and aware when out after dark. Thank you for any assistance you can offer. Sincerely, Alan Abbott

FAA Authorizes Use of Heavy-Lift Drone by Holliston’s UAS Unmanned Aerial Systems Development, Inc. (UAS Development), with headquarters located in Holliston, MA, is pleased to announce it has successfully petitioned for authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to commence operations utilizing their fleet of small unmanned multi-rotor vehicles. This authorization along with the FAA issued Certificate of Authorization (COA) will allow UAS Development to conduct controlled close range flight operations and expand its program of research and development with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for industrial and commercial markets. UAS Development selected representation by Mintz, Levin, P.C. as counsel of record for the creation and submission of the petition. Jonathan Cain of Mintz DC acted as UAS Development’s chief counsel for this petition. UAS Development operates a broad range of UAVs, from “micro” units up to their flagship heavy lift multi-rotor UAVs. This large UAV is built as a mission specific platform for feature film quality aerial cinematography and film/video production. UAS Development will provide
equipment and licensed crews to conduct operations to satisfy currently unmet film industry demand for aerial production using UAVs through a partner company, Oversite Productions, Inc. Through its association with the New England chapter of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems I n t e r n at i o n a l ( AU V S I - N E ) , UAS Development has run several events demonstrating their capabilities and workflow to the film & television industry, as well as regional robotics & autonomous systems companies and other researchers in the robotics field. UAS Development will continue to explore advancements in UAV systems efficiency, operational safety and commercialization through integration of remotely piloted and autonomous aerial systems into diverse applications. UAS Development seeks collaborative research and
development programs with engineering and industrial services clients to advance these initiatives. UAS Development is a pri-
vately held corporation chartered in Massachusetts. The principals are Jeff Adams, Joel Laino and Matthew Greenway. Jeff Adams is a 20-year veteran of commercial and advertising production, and is a member of the Board of Directors for AUVSI New England. Joel Laino has also been in the production industry for over 20 years and serves as Creative Director for the firm’s production business. Matthew Greenway is a mechanical engineer and has 15 years experience in aviation and
electronics manufacturing. UAS Development was founded in 2014 to conduct research in the unmanned aerial vehicle market. Our interest is in developing mission specific UAVs to service commercial and industrial applications of remote imaging and data collection from light weight and cost effective platforms. Our initial market focus is in aerial cinematography and video production, making use of high definition, production grade digital camera systems, with an emphasis on integration of similar camera capabilities into remotely controlled gimbals with robust stabilization and operating capacities. We integrated technologies to compose a heavy-lift airframe and payload management configuration that provides our operators the ability to run camera kits up to 20 lbs for 10-15 minute intervals. Our proprietary equipment
configuration lends itself to a wide variety of alternative applications including: Thermal imaging, GIS mapping, bio-chem & composite spectrometry, remote sensor data acquisition and video/photography recording. UAS Development has established collaborative relationships with a variety of sensor manufacturers, with the intention of delivering robust data acquisition configurations to satisfy a diverse range of mission parameters and program initiatives. UAS Development is also working with the FAA during the beta test phase of the FAA’s new UAV operator app, “B4Ufly.” The app seeks to enhance communications between UAVs and manned aviation traffic mangers to avoid conflicted airspace. Unmanned Aerial Systems Development, Inc., a Holliston, MA based firm has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct commercial flight services utilizing a number of UAS Development’s multi-rotor drones. The FAA authorization includes approval for the firm’s flagship heavy-lift UAV with capabilities to conduct operations with robust payloads of up to 20-25 lbs.

LIVING HEALTHY
Fledgling Anti-Addiction Coalition Begins to Take Flight in Holliston Holliston Drug & Alcohol Awareness Coalition (HDAAC) Launches Youth Program, Gathers Info. By Judith Dorato O’Gara “I can’t think of anything more amazing than what I’m doing now,” says Gina Stucchi, of Holliston and the chair of the Holliston Drug and Alcohol Awareness Coalition (HDAAC). She says she’s amazed at the response HDAAC has received in their effort to raise awareness and resources, and in regard to her own experiences as a recovering addict. “I think most people in recovery feel the same way – they want to give back, and just by sharing our story, I think we can save a life.” Last month, at Celebrate Holliston, HDAAC launched Holliston’s version of The THP Purple Project Initiative, part of the Chris Herren Project (theherrenproject. org), which encourages young people to stand up to peer pressure to use alcohol and drugs. The local group will be called Purple 4 Prevention, and Holliston High School student Kelly Alves is taking the reigns as a youth leader for the project. “We had a float that was purple, handed out purple bandannas and purple beads, and Shelly Savino, owner of Salone de Bella, did purple Fair Hair all day, with proceeds going to HDAAC. Everyone all around was covered in purple,” says Stucchi, who
says the stylists were “nonstop all day long doing hair,” collecting $650 in donations for the cause. “We’re at a turning point right now, getting our website up (www. HDAAC.org) and running, and we’re actually applying for a grant through the Metrowest Health Foundation, which was created to help start up coalitions like this in the community.” Stucchi explains that although the website is not complete, there is a way for people to volunteer or ask questions with the email link info@HDAAC.org. Holliston residents can also visit the HDAAC Facebook page. Stucchi became involved after a drug forum the town held in the spring. “After the meeting, we had talked about possibly getting a group together, so we started in April,” says Stucchi. Since then, she says, the group has worked with the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) in getting started. CADCA administers the Drug Free Community (DFC) grants, for which HDAAC intends to apply for eventually. CADCA’s grant process puts forth a strategic prevention framework for potential grantees. One of the things HDAAC needs to do first is assess the needs of the community, says Stucchi. The frame-
The Holliston Drug and Alcohol Awareness Coalition (HDAAC) has begun rolling to combat addiction, gathering information and resources. At Celebrate Holliston, the organization launched a youth campaign, Purple 4 Prevention, which encourages young people to stand up to peer pressure to use alcohol and drugs.

work has really helped, she says, because, although many people came forward from all walks of life, it was not easy to focus the cause with everyone’s different background. “Our first step is assessing needs,” says Stucchi. To that end,
the group has been interviewing what it calls key community stakeholders, about how they’re affected and what they see is needed. Some of these stakeholders include the fire department, Youth & Family Services of Holliston, school personnel, clergy, businessowners,

police and people directly affected by alcohol or substance abuse in their family. In fact, the clergy in the town are working to coordinate schedules to have a focus group, says Stucchi, with Mark Peterson, a pastor at Christ the Lutheran Church heading up the effort. “Once all the data is collected, we plan to share it with the community” says Stucchi. The group will have an evaluator from MassTAPP come in to assist with strategic planning and implementation. So far, says Stucchi, preliminary data suggest that “parent education is a weak spot,” she says. “And then, youth education, there’s never enough of that. There’s no such thing as too much drug and alcohol education.” The launch of the Purple 4 Prevention at Celebrate Holliston was a start, she says. “Kids pledged to not only make good choices, but to support friends,” says Stucchi. “That they don’t need drugs and alcohol to have a good time, but that if somebody does trip up, you should help them and support

LIVING HEALTHY The Holliston CF Cycle for Life October 3rd Event Raises Awareness of Cystic Fibrosis, Funds for a Cure By J.D. O’Gara Once again leaving from Fatima Shrine in Holliston, the Holliston area CF Cycle for Life bicycle fundraiser is set to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (www.cff.org) on October 3.
HDAAC Chair Gina Stucchi with her son, Anthony. “It’s never too young to talk about substance abuse,” she says.
them. Build them up and help build each other up.” Stucchi says the biggest goal in this whole process is “getting people in general, the town, to talk about it.” Personally, she says, “Since I’ve spoken up in the community and said ‘I’m in recovery,’ I have received calls, emails, Facebooks messages from people in the community asking for guidance and resources or sharing their story with me.” HDAAC will be in Jordan Hall for the Holliston Holiday Stroll on November 28, and this month, HDAAC will be meeting in the meeting room at the Holliston Central Fire Station at 6:30 p.m. on October 13, for those who are interested in being part of the discussion. For future meeting dates and times, go to their website at www.hdaac.org. Holliston’s move to address this issue is coming at a time when the issue figures prominently nationwide. This month, on October 4, a Unite to Face Addiction Rally will draw over 600 organizations worldwide to Washington, D.C. to show solidarity for the 22 million
Americans with addiction, and 23 million more in recovery (facingaddiction.org).
Each year, the Holliston Auxiliary Police Department has donated its time directing traffic for the bicycle riders in the CF Cycle for Life, this year called the The Actavis+Allergan CF Cycle for Life due to its sponsors. Ride options include a challenging 65-mile trek, which takes off at 8:30 a.m. (registration 7:30

a.m.), as well as a 30-mile and 12-mile ride, which both leave at 10 a.m. (9 a.m. registration). Riders need to be 16 or over, wear helmets, and pay a nontax-deductible $45 registration fee, with an additional fundraising requirement of $250. Although the ride’s goal this year is $280,000, by midSeptember, teams and riders had raised just over $142,000, although there is still time to donate.

Approximately 30,000 people in the United States are affected by the life-threatening genetic disease that affects their lungs and digestive systems. The cause of Cystic Fibrosis is a mutation in the CFTR gene. People with Cystic Fibrosis have defective or missing CFTR proteins, which the body needs to control the flow of salt and water into and out of the cell. A CTFR protein that is defective causes abnormally thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and affects the digestive tract and other organs, causing related problems. Nationwide, thousands participate in regional rides in the Actavis+Allergan CF Cycle for Life. Last year, this joint effort raised nearly $4 million to bring those with cystic fibrosis closer to a cure. Promising medicines have improved prognoses and outcomes, but lives of people with CF are still cut short.

LIVING HEALTHY I can see clearly now, the FAT is gone! To successfully drop those excess pounds, 46 year-old Tom McAullife knew he needed a defined weight loss program. Between his hectic work schedule as president of WMRC Radio, 1490 AM, in Milford, and an active home life with his wife and three teenage sons, a clear plan was the only answer. He was already familiar with New England Fat Loss as an advertiser on his station and from friends who shared their successful results. In July, he and his wife joined at the Hopkinton location.
“I needed a program to follow,” McAullife said. “I have all this exercise equipment in the basement, but without someone like Dr. Johns and his staff, it wasn’t going to happen. I can be extremely disciplined if you give me a road map.” McAullife made the right choice. After only 27 days on the program he lost 30 pounds. The bonus, the effect on how his new menu plan fueled his body. “By the time I got literally seven days into it, I could feel my metabolism on fire,” McAullife said. “I felt like whatever I was
eating was getting burned up, the water was getting washed out.” McAullife admits shedding the weight was the initial goal, but he also joined NEFL to influence other aspects of his life. His demanding schedule promoted poor eating habits, and he felt a loss of control. Before joining NEFL, his body took charge, driving his actions, attitude and even sleep habits. After only one month, everything changed. “What I really wanted most of all is clarity,” McAullife said. “With a busy family and stressful, crazy work schedule, and feeling
lousy because of eating bad food every day, I felt like I had lost clarity and organization in my head.” Since his success with New England Fat Loss, McAullife experiences a good night’s rest, free of previous sleep apnea and snoring and wakes at 5 a.m. to prepare the day’s schedules. A restful sleep is even more vital when approximately 230,000 people rely on him and his station to stay informed with their local news, weather, traffic, music, religious and consumer programming and sports coverage.
“I feel so good, it is simply amazing. The only thing I can point to is because of my experience with New England Fat Loss,” McAullife said. Take control today at one of New England Fat Loss’ two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton. To learn more, visit their website at www.newenglandfatloss. com, or call 1-844-437-8446.

The content may be “normal” but help is needed when a child is experiencing too much worry or suffering, preventing him or her from fully participating in typical activities of daily life. This presentation will discuss various types of anxieties and their symptoms, the affects it has on functioning, how to determine if it is healthy or not, and treatment interventions.

Shaving Tips for Acne Prone Skin By Lisa Massimiano, Licensed Esthetician, Certified Acne Specialist Owner Skin Smart Salon If you have acne, shaving can be a problem often irritating acne prone skin. Here are some tips you can try in your shaving routine to help. • P ay attention to your preshave routine. Soften the bristles of your beard by using lukewarm water and an acne-safe, pre-shave soap for a smoother shave. • S top using rotary or multiple blade razors. These can cause aggravating ingrown hairs, leading to inflamed acne. Instead, use a single edge, disposable razor and replace it often. • Shave in the direction
of the hair growth, not against it, using slow overlapping strokes. This prevents ingrown hairs and irritation from going over the same area more than once. • Avoid after shave lotions. • I f you use clippers or T-edger blades, keep them clean and sanitized. There is no quick fix to clear acne, but it can be managed with correct home care, professional treatments and modified life style choices. Questions about acne? Call me at (508) 881-1180 or email me at skinsmartsalon@ aol.com. Visit my website skinsmartsalon.com for information on my acne clinic and other services.

LIVING HEALTHY Snack foods that promote better sleep According to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that difficulty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day.
enough to make falling and staying asleep easier. • Bananas: Much like almonds, bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey. While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.
But even though difficulty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the AARP notes that the following are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep.
• Cheese and crackers: One more traditional snack may just help you get a better night’s sleep. Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night’s sleep and help you fall asleep sooner. • Cherries: Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not.
• Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be
• Hummus: The primary ingredient in hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock. • Peanut butter: Peanut butter is another snacking item loaded with tryptophan. Spread some peanut butter on a carbohydrate, whether it’s a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer sleep. • Walnuts: Like cherries, walnuts contain melatonin, which can contribute to a longer, more restful night’s sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping difficulty. Many men and women experience difficulty sleeping as they age. But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night’s sleep.

LIVING HEALTHY Eyes on health: What your eyes can tell doctors People who have been putting off eye examinations may want to call their opthalmologists to schedule an appointment. That’s because vision checkups can do more than protect your eyes. By examining the eyes, doctors may have a window into health problems affecting other areas of the body. Researchers recently discovered a link between detected retinal amyloid plaques and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. While evidence was found in lab mice, autopsies of at least eight Alzheimer’s disease patients have also shown amyloid plaques, which are known to interfere with memory and other mental functions, present in the retinas. Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, Calif., are gearing up for larger studies of humans to determine if an Alzheimer’s imaging technique can be perfected. Dementia is not the only thing that doctors may be able to detect through an eye exam. Jaundice in the whites of the eyes may indicate liver disease, and early warning signs of diabetes may be detectable in the eyes. The American Academy of Opthalmology says the eye is the only place where doctors can see veins, arteries and a nerve with-
out surgery, and eye examinations are increasingly being relied on to gauge overall health. The following are a few additional conditions that may be detected through the eyes.
Allergies
Patients may be referred to an allergy specialist if they exhibit dark under-eye circles. While this can be a sign of aging, dark circles, sometimes referred to as “allergic shiners,” also may indicate certain allergies. When clogged sinuses cause a blockage of blood flow in the nasal passages around the eye, darkness may result. This symptom in conjunction with persistent nasal congestion could be a sure sign of allergies.
High cholesterol The presence of bumpy, yellowish patches on the eyelid, known as xanthelasma palpebra, is a warning sign of high cholesterol, which is often initially diagnosed during a routine eye exam.
Cancer Some cancer metastases can be detected during an eye exam. The presence of a bump or brown spot on the eyelid also may be indica-
Certain medical conditions can be detected early during routine eye examinations.
tive of skin cancer. Many malignant eyelid tumors are basal-cell carcinoma. If the spot is brown, it’s more likely to be malignant melanoma.
Thyroid issues When the outer one-third of the brow (the part closest to the ear) begins to disappear on its own, this is a common sign of thyroid disease. The thyroid helps regulate metabolism, and thyroid hormones

are essential to hair production. Hair loss may occur elsewhere, but is much more visible in the brows.
Clogged arteries Blockages in the smaller veins in the retina may indicate clogs caused by arterial plaque. This will show up as a retinal occlusion in a visual exam. If blood vessels in the eyes are blocked, clogged arteries may be present elsewhere in the body, so a cardiology workup may
be ordered.
Bell’s palsy The inability to close one eye or to control tear production in that eye may be a sign of Bell’s palsy. This is a condition of the nervous system that controls facial muscles, causing temporary paralysis in one side of the face. Sometimes Bell’s palsy follows a viral or bacterial infection.

Holliston Pantry Shelf Set to Work with Greater Boston Food Bank Monetary Donations Down & Need Up, Volunteer Group Seeks More for Dollar By J.D. O’Gara The Holliston Pantry Shelf once again put on its annual turkey dinner on the night of Celebrate Holliston, and this year, money from the fundraiser, which has run for 21 years, is very needed. “We have more shoppers per week than we’ve ever had before. By the end of August we were serving 525 Holliston residents,” says Amy Porter, of the Holliston Pantry Shelf, which is run entirely by volunteers and funded entirely by donations. “We are down $24,000 in monetary donations in FY 2014 from FY 2013,” she says. “And we’re spending $3,500 a week in groceries. We’re spending even more money, and getting less money in.” Porter notes that the annual turkey dinner fundraiser is not the biggest fundraiser for the Holliston Pantry Shelf. (In fact, the Holliston Pantry Shelf ’s annual
appeal to residents will be sent in the mail next month.) At one time, she says, the food was donated by a local business. Nowadays, having to purchase food through Holliston High School food services, the Pantry Shelf takes in about $500 from the event. “It’s not only a fundraiser,” says Porter, “It’s meant to be a continuation of Celebrate Holliston. We try to keep ticket prices down to keep it affordable.” Adults are generally $12, seniors and kids 7-12 $8, and children six and under free. Sylvia Stickney, a founding member of the Holliston Pantry Shelf, points out that the event began as a Celebrate Holliston event, but after a couple of years, it made sense that the Pantry Shelf would run the dinner. “We discussed it and thought it might not only be a fundraiser, but because we feel very strongly the people in town are extremely supportive, it might be nice, after having a field day which is fun and busy, to come to a dinner already prepared,” says Sylvia Stickney, who has run the turkey dinner for about 21 years and, busy with other volunteer duties, is ready to hand the task to a volunteer willing to take it on. “You don’t want to be working at the
Shown here are some of the young volunteers for the annual Celebrate Holliston Turkey Dinner, a 21-yearold tradition that Holliston Pantry Shelf’s Sylvia Stickney has organized throughout the years. The event is but a small fundraiser for the Pantry Shelf, which has seen fewer monetary donations and more in the way of hungry Holliston patrons. Photo by Charles Tashjian
field from seven-thirty, eight in the morning until four-thirty, five and then go home and make a dinner. And this is nice and delicious, essentially what we have at Thanksgiving – turkey, mashed potato, cranberry sauce and stuffing.” Stickney says the Pantry Shelf is delighted with the response they usually get to the dinner, and the event’s success is due in great part to the wonderful volunteers not only serving that night but every day at the food pantry. “I feel it’s a gift to be a volunteer there, and I’ve made some friends. Outreaching into the community is such a gift, it just is and the people are wonderful, our shoppers are wonderful,” says Stickney. Porter explains that since the food pantry is so pressed right now, the Holliston Pantry Shelf is beginning to work with the
Greater Boston Food Bank for the first time. “In the past, their program had required us to give them our shopper information, which we would never do,” says Porter. All shoppers are assured complete confidentiality by the 120 volunteers of the Holliston Pantry Shelf. They need only prove they are Holliston residents and are then issued a numbered card with a town seal on it, a policy instituted years ago by Nancy Norris, says Stickney. Porter says the Pantry Shelf decided to use the lowest level of four of the GBFB and continue to honor the privacy of its clients. “If we’re not getting the donations we have in the past, we have to figure out a way to get more for our dollar. It’s just a supplement to what we’re already spending for groceries, because even prices at Market Basket and
Hannaford’s have gone up. What we’re doing from the Food Bank is just finding a new supermarket to shop from that has better prices than the two we’re shopping from. Another reason for using the Food Bank is all their produce is free. They’re very committed to offering good nutrition.” Porter explains that a large portion of the greater number of shoppers are seniors. “They have to choose between medicine and groceries,” she says, “and that’s why we’re here – to help out.” The organization is looking forward to its biggest fundraiser, the Souper Bowl, which takes place the night before Superbowl Sunday. “Truthfully, it is amazing to me how kind and generous people can be,” says Stickney, “and we are most appreciative of the support we get from the town.”

Holliston Boys’ XC – Diamonds in the Rough By Christopher Tremblay The Holliston boys’ cross country team got off to a rocky start last fall dropping their first four meets of the season, but were able to regroup and finish fifth in the Tri-Valley League meet. After losing an outstanding runner in Mike Glazebrook, the Panthers find themselves a young and inexperienced squad entering this season. Looking to avoid the same situation the team encountered to open the 2014 season, Coach Phil Ryan went scouting for a few additions to join this year’s roster. One of Ryan’s add-ons, as he called them, was sophomore Tim Strang, an indoor/outdoor track star. “Tim runs the mile and 2-mile and is not afraid to compete,” the Holliston coach said. “He trains hard and is going to be a very good cross country runner.” Another track athlete making the jump to cross country is junior Rick Brown, a 400-meter runner. Ryan likes Brown because of his speed and is a very knowledgeable individual. “He’s an extremely fast kid, who once he gets the hang of distance running and masters the conditioning, he’s going to be a great one,” Ryan said. Looking to lead the Panthers across the finish line will be tricaptains Ben St George, Ben Durkee and junior Andrew Milton. Durkee is a four-year runner for Ryan and had come into camp ready and running exceptionally well, while St George is hoping to return to last year’s form. “Ben was one of our top three runners last year and named to the TVL All Star team,” the coach said. “He is currently injured and not running for us, but when he does return, hopefully in another week or so, he is going to make us better.” Another senior returning to the fold this fall, which impressed the coaching staff in his first cross country season, is Kevin Montain. Junior Own Savage, like Montain, is also participating in his second cross country season. According to Ryan, the
“This team is composed of a bunch of coachable kids who not only want to learn, but get better,” the coach said. “Once they get better, they’ll have the success they’re looking for.” then sophomore last fall continued to improve throughout the year, finishing in the top five meet after meet. To take it to the next level Savage just needs to put everything together, which is some-
thing the junior is quite capable of doing. Two other new comers to the squad freshman Liam Engell and indoor/outdoor track athlete Dan Leary have impressed the
coach in the early goings. “Liam has continued to run in the top five so far and is running extremely well for a freshman,” Ryan said. “Dan finished fourth in our very first meet
this season and I don’t think he truly believed in his ability. Following the fourth place finish I asked him he now realized that he could be successful in cross country.” In order to have a successful season Ryan believes confidence, positive attitudes and aggressive running will get the runners to the top of the league. “The kids have a lot of ability, they just don’t have the aggression yet,” the coach said. “Once they put it all together, they’ll be good runners. Tim (Strang) and Liam (Engell), these two kids already have it.” The goal for the season for the Panther runners is too put together a winning season, especially in the TVL, where one team can beat one another any time out. Putting together a winning team record will also allow Holliston to advance into the State Meet, where the squad looks to have success. “This team is composed of a bunch of coachable kids who not only want to learn, but get better,” the coach said. “Once they get better, they’ll have the success they’re looking for.”

Berg A Premier Goalie for Holliston Field Hockey Team By Ken Hamwey Catherine “Cat’’ Berg, selected as a Tri Valley League all-star last year, is in her fourth season as the starting goalie for Holliston’s field hockey team. But, the senior captain would gladly trade her all-star status for a chance to compete in the state playoffs. “I was honored to be chosen as the only junior on the all-star team last year, but I’d give up being an all-star to get to the tournament,’’ said Berg, who had a goals-against average of 1.00 last season. “I’ve never played in the tourney. We missed qualifying my sophomore year by a point, and we were close again last season, missing out by two points. As a senior now, this is my last chance’’ The Panthers, who have started the season with a 1-0-1 record, will need another solid season from Berg if tourney play is in their future. The 5-foot-11 netminder possesses all the necessary attributes to be a premier goalie. “The most important ingredient for success is the ability to stay upbeat after allowing a goal,’’ Berg said. “You can’t get down. Cat Berg, a team captain in Holliston field hockey this year, would You’ve got to move on and know like to see the team take on the tourney this year. that the next time an oppone Other characteristics Berg a big fan of her goalie’s tenacity. year as the Panthers’ coach. “As relies on are quick feet, good in- “Cat plays the angles well, she’s one of our captains, Cat is vocal stincts and an ability to commu- got natural athletic ability and she and also helpful with the younger nicate. communicates with her defense,’’ players. She’s very approachHer coach, Alyssa Wesoly, is said Wesoly, who’s in her second able and has been a good mentor to Addie Raymer, our jayvee goalie.’’ Berg is acutely aware of her role as a leader and understands the importance of assisting young RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL SNOWPLOWING players. But, she also knows that she has to be firm at times. “I like being a friend and being helpful but one area I strive to improve on is being WALKWAYS • PATIOS • RETAINING WALLS more authoritative,’’ she said. 508-450-9506 “As a goalie, I have to let c.jwenzel@comcast.net teammates on www.cjwenzellandscaping.com defense know they have to be in a certain position.

have to show some authority.’’ Berg admires Holliston’s other three captains — Annie Croke, Genevieve Kent and Marissa Ledger. “We all play different roles and have different leadership styles,’’ Berg said. “But together, as a group, it’s an amazing mix. We all want to be quality leaders.’’ A native of Holliston, Berg also is bullish on Wesoly, her third coach in four years. “Coach Wesoly is a great motivator who pushes us to play our best,’’ Berg emphasized. “She’s the best coach I’ve had in my four seasons.’’ Berg’s best game of her career came against defending-champion Dover-Sherborn last year. She had 23 saves but Holliston bowed, 1-0. “Dover-Sherborn had three players who now are playing at Division 1 colleges,’’ Berg noted. “I made some difficult saves, and I was pleased that only one got by me. Our team played so well that day against the league champs.’’ An honor-roll student, Berg will be mulling where she’ll be attending col-
lege next fall. So far, Marist College (New York) and the Univer-
sity of Charleston (South Carolina) are high on her list. “I want to major in communications, and both have good programs,’’ Berg noted. “As far as playing field hockey goes, chance are that I’d play at the intramural level at a Division 1 school.’’ For the present, however, Berg is interested only in the welfare of Holliston field hockey. And she knows what it’ll take to qualify for the tourney. “We need to outwork and outplay our opponents,’’ she said. “We’ll also need to stay healthy and make sure our talent blends into good team chemistry.’’ Relying on an aggressive style, Berg says she strives on being intense and focused when the ball is in her territory. “I think of myself as a quarterback,’’ Berg said. “One of my roles is to get the players in position to do well. Another area we can all do better is defending corner plays. That’s when we have to be strong on defense after committing an infraction.’’ Berg’s team goal is the tourney. A personal objective is to allow less goals than last year’s total of 12. In her first two games this season, she’s allowed only one. She plays to win, to have fun and to reach her potential. But, it’s obvious that Catherine “Cat’’ Berg’s top priority is her team. “My biggest desire is to help our team and for me to achieve that means staying on top of my game and striving for excellence,’’ she emphasized.

“Hello, Marcia... It’s Robert Kraft”: New Hope Receives the Call of a Lifetime
When her cell phone rang on the morning of the Patriots season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, the last person New Hope’s CEO Marcia Szymanski expected to hear on the other end of the line was Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “It was completely surreal. I thought it was a family member pulling my leg,” Szymanski recalls. But it was no joke: Kraft was calling to inform her that the New England Patriots Foundation was making a $100,000 commitment to help New Hope deliver prevention education about domestic and sexual violence. As was reported in The Boston Globe, Robert Kraft has been embarking on a series of “surprise philanthropy” telephone calls to area nonprofit organizations. The gift to New Hope is a part of his latest commitment to agencies working to end domestic violence. In addition to four gifts to area programs, Kraft and the New England Patriots Foundation have pledged $1.5 million to Jane Doe, Inc. – the Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence – in support of their Institute for Safety and Justice. Kraft is also collaborating with Attorney General Maura Healy on a program, Game Change, to prevent violence among high school students. Information about New Hope event can be found at www. new-hope.org.

home MARKETPLACE Maximize fall and winter energy savings with simple tips By Scott McGillivray
4. Make use of natural sources of heat.
As temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet.

A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency.
Add insulation to your base-
In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.
