Tom D’Urso

his love for the people of Hopedale is transparent. “I get a real kick when kids come up to me at Halloween with glowing faces and say, “’Mr. D!’” He continued, “You know, the kids from my first 5th grade class in Hopedale are now in their 30’s and having kids,” he continued on page 5

OFFERING BLADE-FREE LASER CATARACT SURGERY 391 East Central Street Franklin, MA 02038

Tom D’Urso, teacher, coach, umpire, parent, friend; a fixture at Hopedale Memorial School, has retired after 34 years of teaching, but it sounds like he’s not going far. Listening to D’Urso—Mr. D, as he’s known so fondly, describe what he has in mind for his retirement, it hardly sounds as if he plans to retire at all. He still will continue to coach basketball, be a baseball umpire, and volunteer with meals on wheels as well.

“I’m just going to keep going,” he promised.

But instead of showing up every day to Memorial Elementary School in Hopedale, as he has the past 27 years, he has plans to knock some items off his “bucket list.” D’Urso noted, “I started taking piano lessons—I just took my second lesson. Learning to play piano has been on my bucket list.”

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”.

Uxbridge, MA

I quietly sit in my chair with “me”, alone, enjoying the cloudless evening sky and the stillness of thought. A warm, bright evening sun shines in the west over Hopedale Pond, casting a distant glow of burnt orange upon lily pads. Dark shadows from the shore’s trees allow one a quick glimpse of a fish surfacing for that evening meal.

Relaxed in my chair under “The Big Oak”, I find myself mesmerized by the symphony of birds performing a special rendition of “God Bless America.” The cooing of a nearby dove keeps the beat of the performance.

The mood of the Pond is somewhat darker and mysterious, but the bath house, perfectly reflecting its warm yellow image, keeps the shoreline aglow for a very short while; tick, tick, tick, the glow vanishes quickly until tomorrow.

I peer beyond a perfect clump of white birch trees which allows sight of the marsh’s sudden color change to steel grey.

A silent fireworks display performed by a cast of various insects, entertain in ballet-style on the calm water. The grand finale is waiting for its debut in the cloudless sky cast over Fisher-

man’s Island. Briefly happening is the breath taking event called “Hopedale Pond’s Sunset.” Five geese fly above to catch a glimpse of its beauty. I thanked God for the simple beauty of nature and another sunset as He sat beside “me”, alone in my chair. A bull frog announces that evening has officially arrived. The orange ball in the cloudless sky has vanished.

The lightening bugs will accompany me through the darkness as I walk back to my home.

D’URSO

continued from page 1 said. “It feels good to know I had a piece of that, that for one year I had a part in that person becoming successful.”

D’Urso knew he wanted to work with kids after he took a job in high school working with elementary school kids during a summer program. “Ever since then I was hooked on teaching. I’d rather stand up in front of 10 year olds than adults,” he said. “Kids are so real.”

While in college in New Jersey, where he grew up, D’Urso picked up the sport of Ultimate Frisbee.

“I played the sport from when I was 19 till when I was 30,” he recalled. “During that time I traveled to every state but Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington State, and was inducted into the Ultimate Frisbee Hall of Fame in 2006.”

And what brought him to Hopedale? “I followed the Ultimate Frisbee trail,” D’Urso explained. He talked of how one of his Ultimate Frisbee pals persuaded him to move to New England to refurbish houses. At the same time he also got a teaching job in Grafton. A few years later he took a teaching job in Hopedale. “Once I came to Hopedale I’ve never

Local Town Pages www.hopedaletownnews.com looked back—Hopedale has an outstanding educational reputation.”

And D’Urso’s educational philosophy? “I tried to make my classes a fun, an enjoyable environment. Recently a parent came up to me and said, ‘My daughter didn’t realize how much she was learning in your class—she was having so much fun!’”

D’Urso acknowledged that it can be tough on kids to have a parent as involved in the town as he has been. “I’ve got two good kids. It can be tough on them. But family is the most important thing in my life. I try to keep perspective; family is family, and work is work. But it’s tough keeping it separate. We moved from Uxbridge to Hopedale when my oldest son, Tyler, was in 7th grade.

He had been attending school in Hopedale through school choice. . I was against moving at first, but my wife felt strongly that the kids should live in the same town where they went to school. Tyler’s now in college, and my son James is a senior at Hopedale High school. Both boys have always been interested in sports. I’m glad now that we moved to Hopedale, but I wasn’t sure at the time that it would be a good thing.” He then laughed, “In our marriage I get

50% of the vote, but my wife gets 51%!”

His wife, Deidre, is continuing to teach in Hudson for another three years before she will also retire. “After that, we may become snowbirds to avoid the winter,” D’Urso said. He recalled meeting Deirdre when they were both teachers at Memorial Elementary School. “We were the only two single teachers at the school. My wife is the best.

I’m pretty lucky I got to marry her.”

D’urso’s upbeat personality came through loud and clear as he reflected on the experiences he has had as a teacher, coach, umpire, and mentor to so many children in Hopedale over the years. “I said to a fellow coach the other day, ‘We get to make a difference every day. I’ve made a difference in thousands of people’s lives.’” He continued, “You don’t get rich on a teacher’s salary, but I’m rich. I feel rich!”

If you ask folks in Hopedale, they probably feel pretty blessed that Tom D’Urso and his wife Deidre have made their home and have spent so much of themselves in the community of Hopedale.

Best of luck on your retirement, Mr. D.

Former Hopedale High Graduate Returns For Full-Time Teaching Slot

By Timothy Davis

Recent full-time hire Brian Kiesman knows the Hopedale Jr./Sr. High School community well. He was a high school student under the ‘beloved’ Dennis Breen, while Breen’s mentor Principal Derek Atherton has been working with Kiesman since he was brought back to the high school in 2010.

“Principal Atherton and former Superintendent Breen have both been supportive in my professional career as well as my personal growth,” Kiesman said. “Mr. Breen was my high school principal and I certainly felt a special connection to him. As a high school student-athlete, it was important for my friends and I to have a guy like Mr. Breen leading our school. I know hundreds of Hopedale High School alumni who echo that same sentiment.”

Kiesman has been a part of the high school program since 2010, where he began as a part-time paraprofessional and coach. Last year he was the coach of the boys’

tennis team that had a successful run deep into the MIAA tournament.

“I have been working at Hopedale Jr.-Sr. High School since August 2010, serving in the Special Education Department and Math Department, as well as coaching various sports. I am somewhat a unique case in that I attended Hopedale Jr./Sr. High School and am now working there.” Kiesman wrote in an email to Local Town Pages.

This year, however, Kiesman will be teaching a new course offered at the high school involving Health and Science with an emphasis on the family and its impact.

“The classes that I’m teaching and the lessons that students will be involved in are truly life applicable and long-term. I’m even more excited because I’ve been hearing about a lot of student interest in my classes,” Kiesman wrote.

Principal Atherton has been instrumental in helping develop the curriculum and bringing Kiesman along from the science and math wing to the athletic fields as

Brian Kiesman

a coach for a surprising budding tennis squad.

“I am proud to say that Mr. Atherton is the principal at the school which I work for. He is a professional who has the best interest of the students and (has) the school community in mind at all times, and I feel supported by his efforts. He sets a high standard for the school staff, which leads to a solid experience for all the students,” Kiesman wrote.

On the coaching side, Kiesman

RestauRant

saute & GRill

has strong beliefs and convictions on what athletics should be as a part of the school’s educational system in Hopedale.

“Coaches learn all sorts of things. What I really love about coaching is interacting with student-athletes outside of the classroom. Sometimes students aren’t too interested in being in the classroom environment and their heart isn’t really into it. However, in most cases, a student-athlete allows his or her true colors to shine on the tennis court, or the field, in the weight room, etc. because they want to be there,” Kiesman wrote. “It is their choice to be present, and they truly want to improve and become better at their sport. And since a sport is important to them, it is extremely important to me. I take the duty seriously and expect student-athletes to do the same.”

Having a beneficial connection with young people also serves Kiesman in numerous ways. Yet while he started as a substitute teacher, and is now trying to work up the ladder, his time in Hopedale will pay the most dividends in his future.

“I started my teaching career by working as a substitute teacher.

I can remember some of my favorite teachers when I was a student

October 2015

and the qualities they brought to the table. Therefore, I keep those qualities in mind when going about my day-to-day business in the school. One of my long-term goals that I strive to achieve is one that I may not witness come to fruition. Here’s what it is: when some of these students are far removed from school-age, I hope that when they are asked who their favorite teachers were in high school, that some of them rattle off ‘Mr. Kiesman,’ — that would be truly awesome,” Kiesman wrote.

With Kiesman’s young enthusiasm, he certainly brings an amount of energy that high school students can feed off, not to mention a few hobbies in the past, that are known to get the heart pounding.

“I lived in San Jose, California as a youngster, and I periodically take trips to California to visit family and friends. I don’t consider myself a typical ‘Hopedalian.’

I am happy to help create, and share connections, which may lead to opportunities for people.

I’ve been skydiving three times so far — a huge adrenaline rush. I’m left handed and quick witted and I really enjoy music, and have a variety of tastes, and have seen many (music) shows,” Kiesman wrote in his email.

LIVING HEALTHY Laser Bladeless Cataract Surgery Modern cataract surgery uses ultrasonic waves to break up a cataract, making it easier to remove. When this technique became widely available, it made an extended hospital stay unnecessary and shortened recovery time. Until recently, delivering these waves to the cataract meant that a blade (a surgical knife) was required to make

When rolled up, an artificial replacement lens is implanted through the same very small (2-3 mm) incision through which the cataract has been removed. Once in the eye, the lens implant unfurls and returns to its normal shape.

Is it possible to perform cataract surgery without a blade? Yes, this state-of-the-art scientific breakthrough is now here! There are no eyes like yours, and there is no cataract procedure like customized bladeless laser cataract surgery for your eyes. Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery is now a reality and is the first major advancement in cataract surgery in 20 years. The FDA approved laser systems able to produce precise cuts without any blades. It gives the surgeon image-guided control and the ability to plan and customize each procedure to the unique characteristics of the patient’s eye. Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery uses a computer-guided femtosecond laser to do many of the steps currently performed by hand, and is designed to provide a greater level of precision and safety to modern cataract surgery.

The laser advanced bladeless precision and ability to correct astigmatism translates into outcomes that increase the likelihood of seeing well without glasses following cataract surgery. In fact, the femtosecond laser creates incisions in areas that will relax the cornea to reduce astigmatism and often decrease the dependence on glasses.

Many patients do not realize it, but cataract surgery is a type of refractive surgery. Refractive surgery is designed to reduce and in many cases eliminate your need for glasses after the surgery. By combining the use of the laser during the bladeless surgery and premium advanced technology implants, we can replace your natural lens with a new lens that corrects your vision and help eliminate your need for glasses. This will help you to see better and without glasses not only for distance, but also for reading.

In addition to producing precise cuts needed for surgery, the laser used in bladeless cataract surgery breaks up and softens the cloudy cataract, so there is less ultrasound needed to remove the cataract.

Less ultrasound delivered inside the eye translates into less energy used in the eye and clearer corneas, which in turn help producing better vision on the first day after the surgery.

Bladeless cataract surgery includes a two-step approach: Prior to starting the process of removal

of the cloudy lens with the ultrasound, the femtosecond laser is first used to perform all the incisions needed with high precision, including the opening needed in the cloudy lens. This circular opening is one of the most challenging steps for a surgeon to perform with his hands, and the laser makes the opening safer, more precise and more accurate. Using the laser means that no surgical blades touch the eye. This step is then followed by activating the same laser to soften the lens and facilitate its removal. Once the laser surgery is completed, the surgeon uses the ultrasound needle to remove the lens, now much softer courtesy of the laser. The surgeon then implants the artificial lens needed to replace the cloudy lens. Once the implant is in, the surgeon completes the surgery and the patient is discharged in a routine outpatient procedure. Vision improvement is often immediate, with drops used for few weeks to help with healing.

Laser bladeless cataract surgery is all about better precision, more safety and excellent outcomes. The laser brings a new level of customization to cataract surgery, allowing each procedure to be specifically tailored to patient anatomy. Across the country, only a small number of these specialized lasers are available and in use. At Milford Franklin Eye Center, Dr. Kaldawy was the first surgeon in the area and among the first in the nation to offer laser bladeless laser cataract surgery. We are proud to bring this technology to the area.

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.

Although the name of their group sounds bland, these women were radicals ahead of their time. In advocating dress reform, equal rights and equal pay, women’s rights in divorce and child

custody, abolition, pacifism, and choice of last name, they pushed for a fairer deal for women.

Abby Hills Price formulated a philosophy that she brought to the Women’s Rights Convention, where it inspired future feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan.

Sports Hopedale’s Chaplin Heading For Milford Hall Of Fame

By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer Ernie Chaplin usually gets good results as co-chairman of the mission and outreach team at Sacred Heart Church in Hopedale, where he’s lived for the last 25 years. His goal is to make a difference in the everyday lives of youths and to motivate them to be active beyond their community.

A member of the church for 20 years, the 54-year-old Milford native, who also directs the confirmation process for 14 and 15-year-olds at Sacred Heart, enjoys using his church as a vehicle to work with youths.

“I want our kids to go beyond Hopedale and serve the less fortunate,’’ Chaplin emphasized.

“I stress that we all need to serve one another and I strive to assist our youths to make good choices.

They’ve fed and helped clothe the needy in Providence and they’ve prepared meals for the homeless there. The most satisfaction I get from them is when I’m told that they’re lucky because they see how less fortunate people exist.’’

Chaplin, who is married and has three children, commits to volunteering at least 100 hours each year to the educational and spiritual development of youths in Hopedale. Those he’s encouraged and influenced, past and present, probably aren’t aware of

inducted into the Milford High Athletic Hall of Fame for his exceptional talent as a goalie in soccer and a catcher in baseball.

When Chaplin competed, he won with dignity and he lost with dignity. And, most importantly, he represented Milford respectfully.

“I’m honored and humbled that others consider me worthy for induction,’’ Chaplin said. “We had success in soccer and baseball and I was pleased to be part of excellent teams.’’

In soccer, Chaplin played at 5-10 and 155 pounds. His slight frame, however, was deceiving.

He was an aggressive, instinctive goaltender who started as a sophomore and eventually became a captain. He had a goals-against average of 0.90, turned in six shutouts his sophomore year and helped lead coach Charlie Stand’s teams to winning records.

“We went to the district tourney three straight years,’’ Chap-

lin recalled. “As a sophomore in 1976, he guided the Scarlet Hawks into the tourney finals where Milford lost, 1-0, in overtime to St. John’s of Shrewsbury.

“That was the best game of my schoolboy career,’’ Chaplin noted.

“That game put us on the map in soccer and we suddenly had tradition. I made 17 saves against a team that was more skilled than us.’’

Chaplin was selected as a Midland League, Milford News and Worcester Telegram all-star. “I loved playing for coach Stand,’’ Chaplin said, “because he taught us to think about others. He often incorporated special needs students into our program as managers. He was a motivator but he made us think of others.’’

On the diamond, Chaplin excelled as a defensive catcher. He hit .280 during his two seasons, and in 1979, his graduation year, Milford went 16-7, qualified for

the tourney and started a qualifying streak of 37 years.

“My best game was a 4-for-5 effort in a win against Marlboro,’’ Chaplin said. “But, my top thrill was breaking up a perfect game in the seventh inning against Shrewsbury pitcher Brian Ryder.

I got a single but he still won the game. He later signed with the Yankees.’’

After graduation, Chaplin enrolled at Fitchburg State to major in industrial science. He played four seasons of soccer and, as a sophomore, helped his team compile a 9-0-9 record that included four shutouts. “That was the school’s first tourney appearance in 25 years,’’ Chaplin noted.

“We lost in the ECAC Division 3 Tournament final to UMassDartmouth.’’

Chaplin, whose best game came against Division 1 Boston University — a 1-1 tie in Boston — was named a MASCAC allstar and selected to the All-New England team.

While in college, Chaplin was invited to play in Puerto Rico in an international tourney that included teams from Spain (Real Madrid), Columbia, Mexico and the Caribbean. “They were national junior teams and they were high-powered,’’ he said. “I learned quickly that beyond Milford there was great soccer.’’

Chaplin, who works in the printing and software business for Atlantic Zeiser, also played five years of semi-pro soccer for the Milford Portuguese Club in the La ZAR League. That squad won several championships.

“I’ve got no regrets,’’ Chaplin said. “There was nothing better than playing for Milford. And, playing for Charlie Stand, we were taught to work hard, set goals and not make excuses.’’

Ernie Chaplin adhered to those standards. He was a rare breed athlete and now he’s influencing and encouraging Hopedale’s youth to travel a path that leads to solid decision-making and sacrificing to help those less fortunate.

Milford High’s Hall of Fame Induction Committee soon will be honoring a very classy role model.

Sports Hopedale Boys Soccer It’s been five years in the making, but this is what Hopedale Coach Greg LaBossiere was hoping for when he took the job of the boy’s soccer coach. When LaBossiere first took over the reins of the Blue Raider soccer

qualified to participate in the Division 4 Central Tournament.

After going 8-6-4 during the regular season Hopedale made it all the way to the Quarter Finals, where they fell to Advance Math and Science 1-0. The tourna-

program n 2010 he was only getting about 20 combined athletes coming out for both the junior varsity and varsity teams.

The numbers slowly increased through the years, but this fall the coach saw an influx of athletes come out for the team.

“Since my first year here the numbers had continued to increase, but this year we had numbers ion the high 40’s,” the coach said. “In the past we had to keep everyone, but this year I actually had to make cuts.”

One of the reasons that Hopedale boy’s soccer never saw the quality numbers they needed was their lack of game on the field, but that all changed when the program began to pick up those all important wins.

“Through the early years we had a lot of young kids starting on our teams; we struggled and were not that good,” LaBossiere said. “However, the seventh, eighth and ninth graders that began with me four years ago stuck with the program despite our won-loss record and now we have turned things around.”

Last fall, for the first time in a long time, the Blue Raiders

ment appearance suddenly had Hopedale emerging as a team on the rise and athletes flocked to the program to be part of the uprising.

While things are looking up for the Blue Raiders after a successful year, the team did lose five starters from last year’s squad that were very big components to what the team accomplished on the field in 2014.

“We will be looking for someone to step up and take a leadership role this year, but I firmly believe that the soccer skills and technique this year’s player’s posses seem to be better, giving us better soccer players,” the coach said.

One area the leadership may arise from is the senior tri-captains of cornerback Tim Martin, right back Nick Spinelli and goalie James D’Urso. Offensively LaBossiere is looking for junior Austin Firth to regain his freshman scoring touch. According to the coach, Firth lead the team in scoring his freshman campaign, but was snake bitten last fall. Another key cog to the flow of the Hopedale offense will be sophomore Jeremy Martin.

The center midfielder lead the squad last fall in assists. Having a good field vision will give Martin the ability to set up his fellow teammates for more scoring possibilities than he will get.

Playing in the Dual Valley Conference the Coach sees a lot of low scoring events once again this year.

“My philosophy is if we continue to defend well, then the offense will produce,” he said.

“The DVC is a difficult league with teams like Sutton and Nipmuc always near the top; Douglas had a good season last year and didn’t lose anyone and Whitinsville was a young team but they too will be returning everyone. Generally every game in the DVC is going to be a tossup that can go either way, we just need to go out and play our game.”

If the Blue Raiders play to LaBossiere’s philosophy the coach believes that they will be near the top of the league; worst case scenario will be that Hopedale will be in every game that they play win or lose.

home MARKETPLACE Michael Shain Receives Certified Military Housing Specialist Designation Michael Shain, Senior Loan Originator with Village Mortgage in Milford, Massachusetts, has earned his Certified Military Housing Specialist designation, which provides him with specialized tools and knowledge to deliver the skilled service military borrowers expect and deserve. As

founder of Thanks to Yanks, an organization founded by Mike to recognize the sacrifices military personnel endured in response to 9/11, finding ways to support our military, veterans and their families is near and dear to Mike’s heart.

“With the knowledge from this course, I can better understand

the unique needs of military borrowers and assist them with finding a mortgage that fits their needs.” said Mike. “I work closely with borrowers along the entire mortgage process to help them prepare for the mortgage process, then carefully explain what they can expect along the way. I

take pride in knowing that I am guiding borrowers through what may be one of the most important transactions they will make in their life.”

VA loans are popular for those who have served our country, they offer 100% financing with no Private Mortgage Insurance. FHA

and conventional mortgages may provide attractive options as well.

Utilizing his 26 years of experience helping people with their mortgage needs, Mike Shain will work with his clients to review the options available and determine what program is best suited for each client’s situation.
