Chills and Thrills at Haunted Train Ride By Grace Allen The leaves are turning and darkness comes early these days, so that means it’s almost time for the Haunted Train Ride and Spooky Maze. The popular Norfolk event has been scaring area families for the last 15 years, and is a much-anticipated precursor to Halloween. If you don’t already have a ticket, you’re probably out of luck. Ticket sales were held in September, and the event sold out quickly. A joint venture combining the forces of Norfolk Community League and the Norfolk Lions, it’s held in the woods next to the Holmes Bus Company on Myrtle Street in Norfolk. The event is set for Saturday, October 17 from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with a rain date of October 24. Participants ride antique, miniature trains on a half-mile loop through haunted woods, and as the night gets darker, the ride gets scarier. Organizers like to think of the Haunted Train Ride
as a “family-friendly Spooky World.” Geared for children from kindergarten to middle school, the night also includes venues like a spooky maze, and new this year, a Haunted Café with expanded dinner options and seating. Long-time co-chairs and Norfolk residents Tracy Hilfrank and Tara Spellman have watched the event grow more elaborate each year. Originally envisioned as a few scary

By Grace Allen Karen Gessin is preparing for the fight of her life….literally. In just a few days, she will step into the boxing ring to raise money for Dana-Farber. The 49-year-old diminutive hairdresser will be taking on an opponent for 3 two-minute rounds for Belles of the Brawl on October 7 at the House of Blues in Boston. There will be eleven all-women

boxing matches that night, with participants hoping to raise significant money to combat breast cancer. Belles of the Brawl is part of Haymakers for Hope, an organization that raises money for DanaFarber and the Jimmy Fund. In 2009, Haymakers for Hope was founded by two Boston-area residents to raise money through amateur boxing matches. In 2013, Haymakers launched Belles of the Brawl, a female-only boxing event held in October, breast-cancer awareness month. The two hugely successful events have raised over $3 million dollars for cancer research in just a few short years. The Norfolk resident, who calls herself an exercise extremist, was taking boxing lessons at a Medfield gym when she first heard about Belles of the Brawl. Gessin went to the first event in 2013, and was hooked. She signed up that very night,

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”.

amusement park rides. Holmes, a collector, laid the tracks in the woods behind his house, and each year has made more and more improvements to the set up so the event runs smoothly. Both Hilfrank and Spellman are appreciative of the Holmes family’s generosity in offering both the trains and the land every October. Said Spellman, “They are very community-minded. Dick loves, loves, loves his trains and loves to share them and show them off. The family literally allows us to invade their property for two or three days and they are right there helping out.” Volunteers set up, haunt, and clean up after the night. Most of the groups have been participating for years, and include scouts, KP Drama, NHS, and Leo Club students, Tri-County students fulfilling community service hours, and various church groups. The props and themes change every year. The KP Drama Club has stepped up its

role in the last few years, developing and haunting areas like Dead Hollywood, Children of the Corn, Haunted Circus, and the Haunted Cafeteria. Word of the event has spread to other communities, and the night is popular with both Franklin and Millis residents, too. At a reasonable $6 a ticket, it’s a fun way to welcome the Halloween season, said Spellman. Participants are encouraged to come in costume,

and bring a canned good for the Norfolk Food Pantry. “It’s a great family event,” she said. “It’s not the crazy, gory, over-the-top Spooky World. It’s an introduction to Halloween.” Earlier in the night, the venues are told to tone it down for the younger riders. Still, Spellman added, “It IS scary because you are in a train in the dark woods. Just by its nature, it gets scary when it gets dark
because you don’t know what is coming.” Since its inception, the Haunted Train Ride has raised over $100,000, all of which is distributed back into the community. This year, Hilfrank and Spellman have scaled back their roles as new chairs step up to the helm. The new chairs, NCL members Lynne Covel and Kim Shura, believe they are up for the challenge. “My family has been a huge fan of the Haunted Train Ride since we moved to Norfolk five years ago,” said Covel. “It’s amazing to see everyone behind the scenes and on the front lines pull it all together to make this a wonderful community event.” Shura added, “It’s been a great pleasure to join the Haunted Train Ride team. I do emphasize ‘team’ because this amazing community event is truly a team effort.”

Both Hilfrank and Spellman said they will remain involved with the event and mentor the new chairs. After fifteen years, it’s hard to step away. The two know the history, the logistics, what works and what doesn’t work. “We have a lot of information written down but a lot of it is in our heads,” said Hilfrank. “We love the train ride, we’ve invested so many years and we don’t want to see it fail in any way,” Hilfrank added. “As long as the Holmes family is willing to do it and there’s interest for it and there’s volunteers, I think it will go on for a long time, hopefully.” Community groups interested in participating in the Haunted Train Ride, or teens needing community service can contact Lynne Covel (617-968-1856), Kim Shura (508-367-7579) or Tom Grant (508-541-4119).

FPAC Presents The Addams Family Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) presents the hit musical comedy, The Addams Family, on October 24 at 7:30 p.m., October 25 at 2 p.m., and October 30 at 7:30 p.m., with two shows on October 31 at 2:00 and 8:30. Celebrate a bewitching holiday with a performance before or after Trick or Treating on Halloween; audiences are invited to come dressed in costume, and prizes will be awarded. Part of FPAC’s 25th anniversary season, The Addams Family will be staged at THE BLACK BOX, the company’s new home and performance venue, located at 15 West Central Street in downtown Franklin. The devilishly delightful musical serves up an original story based on the iconic characters of legendary cartoonist Charles Addams. Inspiring a TV sitcom, TV cartoon series and two feature films, Addams’ illustrations for The New Yorker
spawned a pop culture phenomenon. His famously motley group – Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandma and Lurch – has a taste for everything macabre. Yet there’s a sweetness, charm and humor at the heart of their twisted and dark world. With book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, The Addams Family musical tests that world when outsiders – the respectable Ohio family of Wednesday’s “normal” fiancé – come to dinner, setting in motion a chain of riotous events on one memorable night! Area performers featured in lead roles include Nick Paone (Gomez) of Franklin; Casey Andrade (Morticia) of Lincoln, RI; Katie Gray (Wednesday) of Milford; Andrew Falanga (Pugsley) of Franklin; Alan Mercer (Fester) of Medway; Michael Fajardo (Lucas Beineke) of Hopkinton; and Kellie Stamp
(Mrs. Beineke) of Westport. Ensemble cast members include Janene Asgeirsson, Madison Asgeirsson, Lily Barney, Jason Barney, Christine DiMartino, Greg Leach, Sydney Leach, Guy Rezendes, Michele Webster, Melissa Wyner and Peter Wyner of Franklin; Caroline Merten of Hopedale; Colie Vancura of Medfield; Maddy Williams of Medway; Anna Makova of Norfolk; Susauna Wickstrom of Plainville; Griffin Wilkins of Walpole; and Jenna McDermott of Wrentham. The production’s creative team includes Casey Andrade, Raye Lynn Mercer, Nick Paone, Kellie Stamp and Hallie Wetzell. Tickets are $34.

Local Wellness Shop to Sponsor Meals for the Needy By Grace Allen On Friday, October 16, Norfolk’s Organic Angel Wellness Shoppe will be preparing and serving 150 meals for the Abundant Table in Norwood. Organic Angel owner Angela Cote had volunteered at the Abundant Table in the past, and remained inspired by the organization’s commitment to feed the hungry.

Various groups and organizations sponsor the meals. Friends and patrons of the Organic Angel will shop for the ingredients and prepare the meal that night at the Abundant Table. Some of the meals will be used for Meals on Wheels deliveries, also. According to Cote, the menu will include salad, vegetables, a variety of dressings, minestrone soup, American Chop Suey (both with hamburger and meatless),

Common Core Critics Launch Signature Drive By Grace Allen Foes of the controversial national education standards known as Common Core are attempting to gather enough signatures so Massachusetts residents can vote on the issue in the November 2016 elections. The state-wide ballot initiative, the group believes, will draw parents and educators into the debate over who should decide the standards—the federal government or individual states. The group, known as End Common Core, must collect 65,000 signatures by November 15, 2015, so that next year voters can decide whether to revert back to the pre-2009 K-12 math and reading standards. The pre2009 Massachusetts standards, the group believes, were more rigorous than the national Common Core benchmarks. The group plans to go doorto-door for signatures, as well as
solicit signatures at the Norfolk and Wrentham Post Offices, ball fields, and local stores. On October 1 and October 15, the group will collect signatures at the Cruise Night event at Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro. In May, residents at Norfolk’s annual Town Meeting voted against Common Core and the accompanying PARCC exam for both the Norfolk and King Philip schools. Although the vote was non-binding, local Common Core critics believe a strong message was sent to the state. Norfolk resident Patrick Touhey, who proposed the petition article for the Town Meeting vote, is a vocal critic of the new standards and is leading the signature drive in the area. Said Touhey, “Common Core is an unproven, untested experiment where my child is the guinea pig. Common Core is a race to mediocrity.”
Norfolk public schools superintendent Dr. Ingrid Allardi and King Philip superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Zielinski issued a statement saying, “In the Norfolk Elementary Schools and King Philip Regional Schools, we are committed to providing a rigorous educational experience that challenges all of our students and helps them develop the content knowledge, critical-thinking, problem-solving, communication and technology skills they will require to be college and career ready.” They suggested residents visit www.doe.mass.edu/ parcc/10Questions.pdf for basic information about the Common Core standards. According to Dr. Allardi, “Standards define the minimum core competencies all students should know and master at the conclusion of each grade level. They define the floor, but have never been intended as a ‘ceiling.’”
State Rep. Shawn Dooley, RNorfolk, an outspoken critic of the Common Core standards, said, “I am a big proponent of retaining control of our children’s education. I believe that parents, teachers, and administrators have a much better handle on what is right for our children than some bureaucrats in Washington. I just don›t see how a one size fits all education system will benefit our children. Massachusetts is much different than Mississippi in its approach to education - and that commitment to excellence is something we can ill afford to give up.” Patricia Saint Aubin, the Republican State Committeewoman for Norfolk, Bristol and Middlesex district, is a Norfolk resident and believes the question belongs on the November 2016 ballot. “This is a States’ Rights issue,
plain and simple,” said Saint Aubin. “This is what James Madison and others fought for in the founding days of our country. What Madison argued was States have the power to govern as they see fit, not through a federal mandate. In this case, Massachusetts should have considerable autonomy to pass and interpret their own law rather than the federal powers dictating and governing every state uniformly on education. This ballot initiative on Common Core gives every voter that opportunity.” Added Saint Aubin, “Here in Massachusetts, people should sign the petition sheets to allow this question on the ballot, understand the issue with its federal overview implication, and vote accordingly.”

Musical Theater Takes Center Stage at FSPA With extensive programs in singing, dancing and acting, the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) is well positioned to offer a hands-on, interdisciplinary musical theater experience. Whether for fun or serious study, students can choose just one class or design a full program to meet individual interests. “Musical theater is such a wonderful outlet for recreational involvement in the arts,” says FSPA Founder and Director Raye Lynn Mercer. “And for the career bound, the school offers everything from a pre-college Musical Theater Conservatory to professional management for young performers seeking that level of opportunity.” Celebrating 30 years of quality arts education, FSPA boasts an impressive record of placing graduates in the most prestigious college and conservatory musical theater programs. Alumni are also making their mark on Broadway, in national Broadway tours, cruise line casts, American Idol, film, television and regional theater. But many students choose a path at FSPA that is purely recreational, finding an outlet for creativity and fun. For these students, the benefits of an FSPA experience are not measured in professional performance credits or collegeconservatory placement, but in lifelong memories and friendships, enhanced skills and increased poise and self-esteem. Beginning with Children’s Musical Theater, which introduces
students in kindergarten and first grade to basic skills in acting, singing and dancing, FSPA provides multi-level, once-a-week combination classes. Musical Theater I-IV teaches progressively more challenging technique and styles, involving more advanced song repertoire and scene work and incorporating history and lessons from legends of the Broadway stage. For the musical theater student seeking a greater level of participation, FSPA offers wide-ranging classes in all three performing arts disciplines. The school’s Pro Voice program provides voice classes and private lessons focusing on the development of healthy technique, musicality and stylistic skills. The Dance Department offers multilevel classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Hip Hop, Lyrical/Contemporary, and Dance for Musical Theater, as well as specialized classes for young children, boys, adults and beginner teens. FSPA’s Drama program provides classes in scene study, character development, improvisation, performance skills and audition technique. At any level, ongoing performing opportunities are a hallmark of FSPA’s musical theater experience. Participation in performances is optional, but encouraged as a fun way to apply skills learned in the classroom, grow creatively and gain increased confidence onstage. An unparalleled calendar of performing opportunities features voice recitals, opera scenes, acoustic coffee houses, Glee Club and
trimester showings for all of the musical theater classes. FSPA also presents four all-student productions each year, featuring a musical, play, ballet and opera. Students in grades 5 and up may audition for musical theater troupes, with performances at FSPA, in the community and at Walt Disney World. The Disney experience is an annual weeklong trip over the April school break for select senior ensembles and features two performances on Disney stages and workshops with Disney performers, choreographers and directors. Students in performing troupes also have the opportunity to participate in an annual FSPA weekend at Broadway Artists Alliance (BAA) of New York City, featuring master classes with Broadway performers and casting professionals. Many FSPA students are invited to return for BAA Intensives that culminate in a showcase before an industry panel of NYC agents, managers and casting directors. Broadway also comes to FSPA, as accomplished stars of the musical theater world teach master classes to FSPA students in Franklin throughout the year. Many FSPA students are also cast in the affiliated Franklin Per-
forming Arts Company’s annual season of shows, with productions staged at THE BLACK BOX, the company’s new home and performance venue located just behind FSPA. The flexible theater, with 360-degree catwalk and open floor plan, provides a professional setting to present many FSPA performances as well. The venue is an
exceptional resource for students’ arts learning and enjoyment. Registration for all FSPA programs is ongoing, with tuition prorated. Prospective students are encouraged to visit the school, tour the facility and try a complimentary class. For more information, including course catalogue, call (508) 528-8668 or visit www.FSPAonline.com.

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 sought-after 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 Nancy Werneken wood and bold colors and contrasts. If possible, make the space as open as kitchen is the heart of any home possible, even if it means remov- and is where the majority of time ing a wall or reconfiguring the lay- is spent as well as the largest return out. This is almost always worth on investment. the expense. Finally, remember to plan well Remember, hiring a pro- in advance.

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.

The event adheres to USA Boxing rules and regulations, so boxers must be compatible in weight and age as well as go through an application process before being chosen. Gessin, all of 5’2” and 115 pounds, speculates no one her size and age was available. This past spring, she was nursing a shoulder injury and caring for her ill mother when organizers at Belles of the Brawl contacted her and asked if she was still interested. They had found an opponent for her. Despite all she had on her plate, Gessin agreed to the

match. “This is the time I was supposed to do this,” she believes. Participants train for four months leading up to the match. Gessin thought she was up for the task. After all, she was already taking boxing lessons. A former gymnast, she had always worked out and enjoyed all kinds of athletic pursuits. She considered herself fit and strong. She soon found out, however, that the preparation for the match was nothing like she expected. “Hitting a heavy bag for exercise doesn’t even compare to being in the ring. It’s a whole different animal. It’s definitely mentally, physically, the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” Gessin trains at Fitness Advan-

tage in Medfield, and credits her trainer, Sione Tu’ukofe Finau, for getting her ready for the match. He is a professional boxer and has trained 17 Haymakers so far, and 16 of them have won. The training includes bag work, offensive and defensive drills, and then actual sparring in the ring with former Belles of the Brawl. “That’s been tough,” said Gessin of the sparring. “I’ve gotten a lot of bloody noses, a couple of black eyes. I do get hurt. It’s not fun, but it’s so challenging.” Still, Gessin is undeterred. “A lot of times I think, this is hard
work for me, but imagine having cancer, and going through that. That’s a lot harder than an hour of sparring. I can leave it and go home and I am healthy enough to do this with my body.” In August, Gessin’s mother passed away from congestive heart failure. Gessin was in the middle of training, yet pushed on despite the emotional toll of losing a parent. “That has been very challenging,” reflected Gessin. “There were times I would get into the ring and had nothing to give. Just punch me. I have nothing left. It

brought me to tears.” Gessin, who has committed to raising $20,000, anticipates a big crowd to cheer her on during the match. Her husband, she says, is supportive, after initially thinking she was crazy. His mother passed away from breast cancer, and Gessin will be boxing for him, too. “It’s been a great journey for me, an unexpected journey,” said Gessin. “I do think my mother is looking down on me, proud of me. She was a little horrified I was doing this…she was afraid for me. But at the same time she knew this kind of physical challenge was always my thing. She will be in my corner like she has been for everything in my life.” The fight takes place at the House of Blues, 15 Landsdown Street, Boston, on October 7 at 7:30 p.m. The doors open at 6:30.

LIVING HEALTHY Laser Bladeless Cataract Surgery By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective medical procedures performed today. More than 3 million cataracts are removed every year in the United States alone. 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 a small incision (a cut) through the eye where the ultrasonic needle was introduced. 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 advancementa 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

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

Why You Shouldn’t Overdo It... Physical Therapist and CEO of Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab By John Vacovec We have all heard the phrase ‘No pain, no gain’. When it comes to the human body, discomfort is acceptable, but pain is not. It’s important to understand and respect your threshold of pain tolerance. When the body is pushed past its ‘breaking point’, injuries and long-term damage can occur. On the other hand, the right approach towards exercise, nutrition and rest can actually cause the body to become stronger while avoiding injury. Overtraining syndrome occurs when an individual participates in new activities that the body is unaccustomed to or when an individual does the same actions for a prolonged period especially in the absence of warm ups and stretching routines. Athletes with overtraining injuries may display fatigue, disturbances in sleep patterns and appetite suppression in severe cases.
The Physical Therapy Arsenal If left unchecked, overtraining can lead to long-term pain and disability. Physical therapy goes a long way in the prevention of overtraining. A variety of physical therapy techniques can be used to evaluate, prevent and treat overtraining injuries. These include: Therapeutic Massage – Relaxation of soft tissue and increased blood circulation to affected areas
Manual Manipulation and Mobilization – Using a combination of specialized active and passive techniques, a physical therapist can increase joint mobility and facilitate a return to full function.
YOUR RECOVERY IS OUR EXPERTISE
When Less is More
can relieve pain and inflammation associated with overtraining. Clinical Pilates – The specialized Pilates exercise programs help improve flexibility and build core and pelvic floor strength. Aquatic Therapy – The buoyancy of water allows the body to gain strength, coordination and flexibility in a gradual manner. Dry Needling – Similar to acupuncture, dry needling is used to release muscle tension, alleviate pain and stimulate the body›s natural healing abilities.
Overtraining injuries can happen suddenly or can develop gradually. Simple ways to prevent overtraining includes progressive exercise, appropriate footwear and adequate warm up and stretching. A physical therapist can teach you the right technique, range of motion and breathing when you exercise. A therapist can customize a training program with your appropriate degree of intensity and frequency. The goal is to challenge - not overwhelm. When you remain within your ‘threshold’, expect significant improvements in strength, flexibility and mobility over time. If you or someone you know has complained of pain or discomfort after swimming, cycling, running or any activity, give us a call. We will look for signs of overtraining and take action accordingly. Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab Inc. can be reached at 781769-2040.

Sports Girls Cross-Country Off and Running By Christopher Tremblay Staff Sports Writer Having not only lost its top four runners to graduation, the King Philip girls cross country team also said goodbye to its long time coach Julie Nievergelt. Warrior basketball coach Marty Crowley will take over the vacancy left by Nievergelt this fall. “I’m very excited about what lies ahead for this team. It’s awesome that a first year coach has the respect of his athletes where they are embracing his philosophies,” the first year cross country coach said. “The girls have all worked hard in the off season to be ready for the upcoming season. With that said, it all starts and stops with the two senior captains Sarah Butts and Nicole Jutras.” Crowley just happened to meeting with KP Athletic Director Steve Schairer when he was told the team was looking for a coach for the upcoming season. Having run both cross country and indoor track at LaSalle Academy out of Providence Rhode Island as well as coaching cross country at Burrillville High
School for 12 years, Crowley decided to take on the responsibility. Being a first year coach in the cross country program, Crowley will be looking for his veteran runners to assist him in the program this season until he can get up to speed; so in the meantime they will be the ones to carry out the coach’s instructions. Although still early into his KP cross country coaching career, he does know a little about the girls that will be returning to run the Wrentham course. With the team’s top four runners leaving, Nina Sitarski looks to be the top runner this fall for the female Warriors. Sitarski was the fifth KP female to cross the finish line last fall, not that far off the number four runner. Junior Danielle Devine was right behind her in sixth place. The coach will be looking for Sitarski, Devine and the two captains (Butts and Jutras) to be the team’s top four runners this season and lead the team. The squad will also have five newcomers to the program including

first time cross country runner senior Hannah McNeil. The senior has run both indoor and outdoor track for King Philip and won the heptathlon last year. Other runners who have looked good in
the early stages are juniors Erica Layne and Lucy Hamilton. With only five seniors, two of which have varsity experience; as well as a handful of first year runners, Crowley is hoping that the
girls can get the most out of his coaching. “It’s going to be an interesting season, but I’m hoping that the girls can go out there on a regular basis and challenge themselves,” the coach said. “There is no greater joy than running against another team representing your school, but for yourself as well. While a previous KP coach, Crowley is familiar with the Hockomock League in general but not so much when it comes to cross country running. “In the Hockomock you really don’t have to do your homework to know about the success the teams have in the league; there are a lot of established teams,” Crowley said. “When it comes to cross country it’s tough for me being new to the sport here. I do know that we will be competitive and take it one meet at a time. How well we run in late October and early November will be the key to our success.” Having a great group of girls that love the sport, in addition to being excited and ready to get the season going, is a step in the right direction for the first year coach if he is to have success with the Warriors.

Sports Carlow’s KP Pedigree is a Plus for New Hockey Coach By Ken Hamwey Staff Sports Writer
KP’s hockey season may be two months away but Carlow is excited to be the head coach and eager to get started. “We came close to being in the tourney the last two years but we’ve got some work to do to achieve our goals.’’ His objectives are to elevate the Warriors into tournament play and to be a team that’s respected for competing hard. “My goals are to qualify for the playoffs, continue to build a strong tradition for KP and for our players to compete the right way,’’ said Carlow, a native of Norfolk who’s lived in Wrentham for 15 years. “My style will be defense first with an emphasis on no breakdowns in that end. We’ll work hard to manage the puck and create opportunities on offense.’’ As an assistant the last two years, Carlow won’t have to deal with a major transition — his players know what to expect. “Most of the kids know me and my assistants,’’ he said. “I’m not coming in green so they know what’s expected. They’ll be well-conditioned, on time, wellversed in the basics and able to execute. If a player loses his cool or doesn’t display sportsmanship, then he won’t play.’’ Carlow was pleased that Lehan highly recommended him and called the former head coach
When Jim Lehan stepped down after two years as King Philip’s hockey coach, he was replaced by Paul Carlow, whose Warrior pedigree is well-know to those familiar with KP’s athletic past. Carlow was a three-sport star for the Warriors, was inducted into the school’s hall of fame for hockey and was a KP assistant coach in football, hockey and baseball, the three sports he played before graduating in 1989. The 44-year-old Carlow most recently was an assistant coach for Lehan for the last two seasons. The new coach excelled as a hockey player, scoring 116 points from his forward slot. He was a captain in both hockey and football, was a two-time Hockomock League all-star in hockey and was selected to play in the league’s all-star game in baseball. His induction into KP’s Athletic Hall of Fame came in 2012, an event he vividly remembers. “That was a tremendous honor,’’ he said. “All my family and friends attended. I was humbled and delighted to be included with great athletes and it was an opportunity to see former players and coaches.’’
“a gentleman who’s a great ambassador for hockey.’’ Lehan said he didn’t expect to be coaching KP long-range and knew that Carlow would be an ideal successor. “Paul is liked and respected by the kids,’’ Lehan said. “He’s a good coach who bleeds green and gold. He’s got passion for hockey and he’ll be a quality leader.’’ Carlow’s assistant corps will remain intact. Ed Movsessian will be the assistant head coach, Steve Hearon will be the junior varsity coach, Rob Mills will coach the goalies and Tom Carlow (cousin) will be a volunteer assistant. “The team I’m inheriting will be strong on defense,’’ said Carlow, who played football for four years at Plymouth State before graduating in 1995. “We’ll have three defensemen who played last year, six forwards return and there’s some experience in goal. We lost our top scorer in Tom Hanson to graduation, so we’ll need to find some scoring. That’s where we have to improve.’’ Carlow already has made some changes to KP’s schedule. He’s dropped Millbury and Somerville and added Bridgewater-Raynham and Walpole. He’s also added a second game against Mansfield. “We’re a Division 1 team and I felt it would
be to our advantage to schedule teams comparable to our size,’’ he emphasized. Married and the father of two daughters, Carlow rates Franklin and Mansfield as the teams to beat in the league’s Kelley-Rex Division. He also views Canton as the power in the Davenport Division. “Although Franklin graduated many players, they’ll still be tough,’’ said Carlow, who works in sales for a health and nutrition firm. “Mansfield also is
traditionally strong. These teams are well-coached and we’ll be tested against Franklin, Mansfield and Canton.’’ KP’s new hockey boss no doubt wants his first year as a head coach to be smooth and successful. His pedigree and familiarity with KP are excellent attributes that should ensure a good partnership with the sport.

Fall Financial Tidbits
Summer has come to an end. Now that the hottest days, family vacations and back-to-school rush are behind us, it’s a great time to give some attention to your personal finances. Prepare for the coming months – and the holidays on the horizon – with these fall tips:
• Pay quarterly estimated taxes. If you’re self-employed or you have extra income you haven’t reported on your W-2, now’s the time to make sure you’re paying both state and federal quarterly estimated income taxes so you don’t get stuck with a big bill from Uncle Sam in April. September 17th was the deadline to pay your third quarter estimates, but don’t let that stop you from sending something in anyway. • Prepare for the cooler months. Although you may still have summer on your mind, staying warm gets expensive when winter hits. Many utility companies offer “budget billing” plans that allow you to spread your heating costs over the year while avoiding a surprisingly large bill for a particularly cold month. Also, winterizing your home this fall conserves energy and saves money. • Start saving for the holidays. It may sound excessive to start thinking about the holidays in October, but Christmas is a less than 90 days away. Now is

been stockpiling. Sorting through clothes you no longer wear, along with electronics and unused household items can free up space and even make you a little cash. Sell items at a local consignment shop or donate them (by making a tax-deductible contribution). • Conquering the Clutter in your Financial Closet. You need only to keep credit card receipts, ATM transactions, and deposit and debit card receipts until you verify the transaction on your monthly statements and then you can shred them. Always remember that any financial transaction, receipt or account statement should be shredded. NEVER throw them in the trash. PERMANENT items you may want to keep: Educational records Employment records Health records Retirement and Pension Plan information Contents of your safe deposit box
CURRENT items, which need to be reviewed every 3-6 years, before deciding whether to continue keeping or shredding them include: Cancelled checks Bank statements Insurance policies Home purchase, repair and improvement records Warranties Income tax records Jeffrey Schweitzer can be found at Northeast Financial Strategies Inc (NFS) at Wampum Corner in Wrentham. NFS works with individuals and small businesses providing financial and estate planning, insurance, investments and also offers full service accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, income tax preparation, and notary public services.

a great time to create a holiday spending plan. For instance, if you plan to spend $300 on gifts, you should start saving $3-4 per day to get there. Stashing away cash in advance allows you to buy gifts for everyone on your list without taking on debt. Resolve to start a “Christmas Club” savings account in the New Year to jump-start your savings habit. • Teach children to save. When kids return to school, they often have a renewed sense of focus and determination. Schools across the country are incorporating financial literacy into the classroom. Take this opportunity to talk to your children about money and the importance of saving. Your efforts will be rewarded as your child develops an understanding of financial principles and positive financial habits. We offer a great FREE guide entitled “Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees... Teaching Kids About Money.” • De-clutter and donate. As summer winds down and you start spending more time inside, take a hard look at all the stuff you’ve

Community Takes Part in 34th Annual Wrentham Day By Alison Osborne On Saturday September 5, Wrentham Day celebrated its 34th year on the town center. With flawless weather, residents turned out in droves to enjoy food, crafts, music, games, and the celebrated Wrentham Wroad Wrace. There were 62 booths from regulars and newcomers, a road train, a bouncy slide, and the popular Barn Babies Traveling Petting Zoo. The zoo, which operates throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island, showcased cuddly rabbits, ducklings, chicks, and kittens, as well as piglets, puppies, and baby goats. This year, 189 runners took part in the Wrentham Wroad Wrace 5K, the highest number of participants the race has ever had. Rob Norcross was the first male to finish the race with a time of 17:26 and Josie Wilson was the first female with a time of 20:28. After the race, runners enjoyed pizza and drinks, and collected awards and raffle prizes.
reation Committee has been organizing Wrentham Day from the beginning. She said of the community groups, “I think they all work so well together. They all help each other. I think that’s the biggest thing.” Wrentham Day ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., but vendors began set up at 7:30 a.m. with Duffy’s guidance. She was also
present after the Wroad Wrace to provide refreshments for the participants. Duffy said that one of the best parts about Wrentham day is visiting with the various town groups and people. “We get to talk to them all and see what they have to say.” This year’s event was considered a huge success, with an estimated 1000 residents attending and participating. Even after 34 years, Wrentham Day continues to be an opportunity for residents to celebrate their community and herald the start of the fall season.

Theology on Tap: Finding Religion in a Wrentham Pub By Marjorie Turner Hollman This summer Father Bill Schmidt of St. Mary’s Parish in Wrentham started a local “Theology on Tap” program, which started out in 1981 in a Catholic church in Chicago as an effort to provide a comfortable setting for young people to meet to discuss matters of faith. “Young people can ask questions and have discussion in a pub or restaurant,” explained Father Schmidt. “I had organized a Theology on Tap program when I served in Stoneham. It’s informal, more comfortable. Some people get a meal, others simply get some appetizers.” Topics are chosen by individual groups that sponsor the summer series. The local Theology on Tap series met in Wrentham at Mr. Dooley’s Olde Irish Pub on Shears Street in Wrentham. Father Schmidt noted that the three sessions drew between 25 and 40 adults each night. “The last night drew an overflow crowd, and older adults wanted to join us. We may put together a program for those who are older. This program is geared to people in their 20’s and 30’s,” Father Schmidt explained. He arranged for the space and lined up topics and speakers. Father Matt Westcott, of St. Mary’s Parish in Foxboro, spoke about “War and Peace.” Father Richard Clancy of Tyngsboro,
until recently the Catholic Chaplain at M.I.T., spoke about “Why won’t God go away?” And Msgr. Timothy Moran of Medway provided an overview of Pope Francis’ recent encyclical on the environment. Father Schmidt noted, “We had many regular churchgoers who joined us. Others came who are searching. Many different opinions were expressed, especially the night our topic was “War and Peace,” but it all remained respectful. Father Matt, from Foxboro, the speaker that night, recently returned from deployment to Iraq with the Marines, and has been a Marine Chaplain. He’s dealt with both sides of the issue.” Father Schmidt continued, “We had a good discussion of the impact of the war on terror and what that means for people of faith.” Schmidt explained that “The pope’s encyclical on the environment has generated intense discussion around the world on issues pertaining to the environment and social justice. Msgr. Moran served previously the Vatican’s diplomatic service in Germany and India, so he was in a good position to explain what a papal encyclical is.” The program has proved popular enough that people are willing to travel to attend a session. Father Schmidt noted, “People
came from as far away as Brighton, Arlington, and the campus ministry program at M.I.T. There are a number of meeting places in the Boston area: Winchester, Brighton, Canton. And there are people who attend the circuit. People are starting to notice.” The meetings were held in August, but the series proved to be so successful Schmidt is planning to continue the series once a month starting in October. No location was confirmed by press time, so call St. Mary’s church office, 508384-3373 for details of where and when the next session will take place. Information is also available on the group’s Facebook page (Theology on Tap-Wrentham). War and peace, faith, responsibility for the environment—these are all issues many think about, struggle with, and are deeply concerned about, regardless of age. TV or the internet tends to steer the discussion, but how much better to provide an opportunity for thoughtful discussion in a relaxed atmosphere with those who are willing to talk, as well as listen. Theology on Tap: not a completely new idea, but new to the Wrentham area. Hopefully its success will provide many more opportunities for young people to be challenged and take the time to really think about the choices they make every day.

The variety show is open to performers ages 8 to 18, from Norfolk and surrounding towns. First, second, and third prizes of $250, $150 and $75 will be awarded at the end of the show. Auditions will be held on Sunday, November 1 and Sunday, November 8 at 4:00 p.m., and Thursday November 5 at 6:00 p.m. at the Norfolk Public Library.
Acts can be no longer than 5 minutes and no accompaniment will be provided, so auditioners must bring their own music (iPod, CD, etc.). To schedule an audition, please register at www.youngperformersvarietyshow.com or call Jonathan at 508-308-7974. Tickets to the show are $8 for children and seniors (65 and over), and $15 for adults. To order tick-
ets, visit www.youngperformersvarietyshow.com. All proceeds from this event will be used to benefit Norfolk Lions charities. So if you are a singer, dancer, actor, instrumentalist, comedian, magician, gymnast, juggler or have any other hidden talent – start preparing your act now. We are looking forward to seeing you perform!
