to grab the crown yet again. Brandon Hall was the first Hopedale runner to cross the finish line in 9th place with a time of 15:58.4, with Thomas Spillers right behind him in 11th place with a time of 16:07.9. The other three Blue Raiders to account for the team’s overall time were Christian De Boer (16th, 16:15.4), Andrew Doran (20th, 16:26.0) and Sam Dykoff (21st, 16:26.3). Bryce Brown (23rd, 16:35.1) and Jake Murray
(33rd, 16:49.3) also competed in the race but crossed the line after the previous five Hopedale runners. The rest of the team is made up of Colin Black, John McCarthy and Josh Weaver. Hopedale Coach Joe Drugan, who has been at the helm for all 10 titles, believes the team’s success has come from the guys before this team.

Excellent Eye Care for the Entire Family
December 2015
The owners of the Hopedale Package Store on Rt. 16 in Hopedale thought September 26 was going to be a joyous day. Gary Neves and his mother Maria were spending the day with family friends who were getting married—Gary was officiating at the wedding, using a one-day certificate to marry his friends. Shortly after 2PM, however, everything changed for this hardworking family. Gary explained, “A car was traveling from Mendon to Milford, turned into the parking lot and went right through the glass and brick wall of our store. I got the call just prior to my friends’ wedding, and I couldn’t leave. Thankfully, my brother Kevin and some good people dropped everything and came to secure the building. But we couldn’t touch anything inside till the insurance adjustor had seen the damage.” There have been many details
to attend to while the store is getting prepared to reopen. Gary noted, “There are code upgrades, additional approvals—it’s all a process. I suppose anyone going through a significant event would feel the way we’ve felt. It helps to focus on other things when you can.” He expressed gratitude for the prompt response of the insurance adjustor and the general contractor, who got started working as soon as the place had been cleaned up. “I spent the day after the accident making a lot of phone calls,” Gary said. “But everyone has been wonderful to work with.” Joseph (now deceased) and Maria Neves, Gary’s parents, were immigrants from the Azores who came to this country in the 1960’s. “They worked so hard to build a life for themselves and their fam-

Congratulations to the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford for Achieving Re-accreditation. Glen K. Goodman, M.D., F.A.C.S, Medical Director of The Cataract Surgery Center of Milford is pleased to announce the recent successful re-accreditation survey. “Our facility has met the stringent requirements for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, AAAASF. AAAASF requires rigorous standards to be met in order to achieve accreditation”, Dr. Goodman states. All accredited clinics must pass inspection of all practice standards in the following categories: • General environment and patient safety. • Operating room environment. • Policies and procedures. • Recovery room environment.
Pictured from left to right; Julie McDonald, RN, Clinical Director, Jaqueline Nardolillo, ASC Administrator, Teresa Bell, RN, Nurse Manager
• Medical records. • Quality assessment and improvement studies. • Personnel, staff, and anesthesia. Dr. Goodman is especially proud of his ambulatory surgical center (ASC) management staff and wishes to especially thank Jacqueline Nardolillo, ASC Administrator, Teresa Bell, RN, Nurse Manager, and Julie McDonald, RN, Clinical Director, for working so hard to achieve this very rigorous reaccreditation. The surveyors commented that this was one of the easiest surveys that they have conducted and were very impressed with the high standards to which the center adheres. Surgeons, legislators, state, and national health agencies and patients acknowledge that AAAASF sets the “gold standard” for quality patient care.

“This particular group of guys has shadowed the other group for a long time so they’ve learned from them,” Drugan said. “I never thought that this team would be where they are right now after losing six seniors from last year’s team. They were definitely focused, 10 phenomenal athletes.”
Hall and Spillers are the only leftovers from last year’s State Championship team. Hopedale will now head to Westwood to try and repeat. “Fall sports in Hopedale are special; for such a small town we’re known all over the state. In cross country we go up against the top Division 2 runners in the state, we have one shot to win it, that’s it; there are no rounds to go through like
other sports,” the Coach said. “I always tell my kids – No one remembers you for what you do in September and October, but they’ll always remember you for what you do in November.” Hall and Spillers, the only two leftovers from last year’s State Championship team, will lead Hopedale into Westwood next looking to repeat in the Division 2 MIAA All States.
Girls Cross Country End with a Strong Finish The Hopedale girls cross country squad finished second in the Division 2 Sectionals, 27 points behind Tyngsboro and 25 points ahead of Parker Charter Essential. Rita Maurais crossed the line first for the Blue Raiders finishing in second place with a time of 18:23.8 and Isabelle Doran was right ton her heals in sixth place finishing at 18:56.1. The final three female runners to count against the team’s point total were Carrie Maurais (21st, 19:52.0), Katelyn Brunt (25th, 20:01.8) and Madison Gannon (26th, 20:02.1). Anastasiya Borodenko and Erin McCarthy also finished for Hopedale.

ily,” Gary said. “The store is close to their home, and running the store gave them a sense of controlling their destiny. I’m sad to see how much stress and sadness my mom has experienced throughout all this.” And how have they all managed while the store has been closed? “Thank God for savings,” Gary said. “We’ve had to make adjustments, and if we had thousands of dollars we could have simply done the work and gotten reimbursed later. There’s insurance, but it’s a process.” Despite all the heartaches, what does Gary find himself thinking about? “The loyal customers. Their response has been incredible. And we’re so grateful that no one was hurt in the accident.” Until the accident, the store had always been open 7 days a
week, 10-10 Monday through Friday, 9AM to 10PM Saturdays, and 12-6 on Sundays. “We close only three days a year, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas,” Gary noted. Gary talked about the number of people who stopped by the store to express their concern for the Neves family. “We’re really looking forward to welcoming our customers by Thanksgiving. We’ll have to shut the store again for a day or two to install the window glass, but then we’ll be open,” he promised. Gary and his family are ready to get back to keeping the store open like they always have. “Everything is coming together,” he noted, the sounds of construction audible during our phone interview. “I’m looking forward to seeing Mom happy again. We have such loyal customers—we consider them extended family. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone again.”

Milford Federal Savings Protects Veterans Offers Crime Prevention Program in Veteran’s Homes Milford Federal Saving and Loan has been a partner with the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF), the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the American Bankers Association (ABA) to do our part to ensure that veterans living in Massachusetts are able to live out their lives in safe, secure, enhanced quality of life environments free from the daily fear of crime, abuse, neglect, hostility and deprivation of personal freedom, as provided through the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation’s Senior Crimestoppers program. “Protecting our nation’s 40,000 elderly veterans living in long-term care is a need that must be addressed, and I can’t think of a better way to get this done than by asking every bank in the country to allocate a portion of their annual Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) budget to securing the Foundation’s successful Senior Crimestoppers program in their bank’s assess-
ment area,” said SHCPF Chairman, President & CEO Edward J. Genry. “We are proud to support the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation in their efforts toward providing the nationallyacclaimed Senior Crimestoppers program to every Veterans nursing home in the nation at no cost to the facilities or their residents,” said Milford Federal President
and CEO Cynthia Casey. “We honor our nation’s service men and women and are grateful for their service to our country.” For more information regarding how to protect Veterans in your community or the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation, please contact us at 877-232-0859 or visit us at www.

Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love.

Living Healthy Weight Loss is a Family Affair A little sibling rivalry can be a good thing; at least it was for this Lunenburg family. It started when 26 year-old Andrew Pelletier joined New England Fat Loss in the spring, 2015. As his mother, Andrea Pelletier, watched her son drop an impressive 41.2 pounds, she was sold on the program and joined in the fall. Andrea Pelletier’s sister Justine Morgan was equally enthused by her sister’s success and a month later, their friendly sister challenge began. “Deep down I am a competitor,” 56-year-old Justine said. “I
saw how good my sister was doing and I thought, ok, if she and my nephew can do it, I can too.” Once Justine joined, the game was on. In 60 days, Andrea lost 36.2 pounds and dropped four clothing sizes and Justine lost 18.6 pounds in only 26 days. Of course, the competition is all in good fun. The pair work cooperatively and share their daily experiences, especially on Sunday mornings when they get together to prepare their menus for the week.
“We weigh everything, put them in food savers and throw the meals in the freezer to take out each day,” Andrea said. “It makes it so easy. We also swap recipes!” “I think it is fun to have someone to do it with,” Justine said. “We take turns buying the food and I have someone to talk to and cook with.” The advantage of purchasing and preparing their own meals while following NEFL was a big appeal for this motivated duo. While their portions and combi-

nations may differ based on their individual analysis and activity levels, they prefer having full control over their personal food choices and grocery budget. “It is totally opposite of what you usually do,” Andrea said. “With other diets, you have to buy their food and do this or that, but here, you follow guidelines and pick what you like and that is what you eat.” In addition to the program’s proven principles, Justine also credits the support from Dr. Johns and the entire NEFL staff as an important factor in her weight loss success. “They give you their cell phone numbers and you can call any time, 24/7,” Justine said. “You are encouraged to call any time you need a question answered.” Weight loss, however, was not Andrea and Justine’s only motivator for turning to NEFL. Both were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and Justine with high blood pressure, but once on the program, their blood sugar numbers quickly dropped and maintained healthy levels.
“I have wanted to control my diabetes for a long time,” 55 yearold Andrea said. “I haven’t taken a pill since the first week I went on the diet. I knew weight loss would help stabilize my blood sugar, but I had no idea my body would react so quickly and the diet would be so effective.” “After my second day, I stopped two of my diabetes medications,” Justine said. “I still take pills for my blood pressure, but that dosage has been lowered also.” All three family members visited the New England Fat Loss Hopkinton location, and while not necessarily convenient from their homes in Lunenburg, they felt the commute was a worthy investment for their good health. Isn’t your wellbeing worth it?

Living Healthy Excellence in Cataract Surgery: What you should expect in 2015 By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center
ELIZABETH G R A D Y
Cataract surgery is by far the most common surgery performed in the United States. With advanced technology and highly skilled surgeons, modern cataract surgery should be a rather quick outpatient and a minimal risk procedure. If you are considering cataract surgery, your expectations should not only be to improve your vision, reduce glare at night, see brighter and more vivid colors and improve your day to day activities, but you should also be given an opportunity to reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts and in many cases eliminate this need. In 2015, many choices exist on where to have the surgery and by whom. What is more confusing and potentially misleading is that many providers claim they are or provide “the best” without defining what their “best” means or having their own definition of the same. Here are the specific questions to ask when you are trying to select the ideal resources, experience, skills and outcomes for cataract surgery. What type of anesthesia am

I going to get? With modern cataract surgery, most surgeries should be completed under topical anesthesia and local sedation. Local sedation means that the anesthesiologist will give you minimal sedation, allowing you to recover your activities after surgery almost immediately with little or no health risk. Topical anesthesia means that the surgery eye becomes numb with drops. No need for injections and shots around or behind the eye. No shots translates into no risk of bleeding and serious complications from the shots. Ask your surgeon about his techniques and how your procedure will be performed. What are the risks? One of the most dreaded risks of cataract surgery is accidental damage to the posterior capsule, which is the back wall of the bag holding your lens. The best practices have a rupture rate of 2 to 4 per thousand cases. The source of this information should be credible, and ideally made available by an

Alumni Association Funding Academic Grants for Hopedale Schools By Lori J. Koller When the faculty of Memorial Elementary School saw an urgent need for course materials to teach the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) curriculum, Principal Brian Miller contacted the Hopedale High School Alumni Association and was soon ready to proceed after receiving an initial grant of $10,000 from the group. The Alumni Association provided a second grant of $10,000 this year, fully funding the new program. In the photos above, Mrs. Kathi Brown, a consultant with Science Curriculum Improvement, LLC is seen in June 2015 demonstrating the Full Options Science System (FOSS) kits for Memorial teachers, left to right, Alexa Romasco, Jen Loucks and Maria Castiglioni. Mr. Miller noted “I am very proud of our teachers’ collective commitment
to learning with these new materials and the collaborative spirit they have shown.” Alumni Association President Henry Cyr said that in the 2014-2015 school year, the group gave a total of $35,000 to the Bright Beginnings Learning Center, Memorial Elementary and the Junior-Senior High School and planned to give that amount again this year. The Association, which was founded in 1887, one year after Hopedale became a town and graduated its first high school class—of two students—has given college scholarships every year since 1930, with donations from Association members, families and friends. The addition of academic grants and an increase in scholarships were made possible when the Alumni Association received

Smart boards, and student leadership seminars, in addition to curriculum materials. The Association’s Board of Directors decides on academic grant requests submitted by the three Hopedale Public Schools and holds colcommittee inside the surgery center. Where will the surgery be performed? Different centers have different equipment and resources. For instance, Massachusetts has only few centers offering bladeless cataract surgery. Bladeless laser assisted surgery should be an option if you want to reduce dependence on glasses and treat low grades of astigmatism at the same time as your cataract surgery. This technology can also soften the cataract if it is dense and thick, allowing a safer and better outcome as it is the case in a specific eye disease called Fuch’s dystrophy. Ask your Ophthalmologist if he/ she is able to offer this technology. What type of advanced technology is available at the center? Larger centers can often times afford better technology. For instance, a new technology called ORA can allow the surgeon to adjust the power of the lens implant placed in the eye while you are having the surgery. This is critical if you had LASIK before. This technology has the added benefit to reduce errors in the implant power calculations and improve chances of reducing your need for glasses after surgery. Ask your surgeon is this technology is available in his/her center.

lege scholarship selection boards in the spring. Scholarships in 2015 totaled more than $77,000. Principal Miller said “These curriculum kits provide increased opportunities for hands-on learning and our students are notably more enthusiastic about their science classes than ever before. Many thanks to the Hopedale High School Alumni Association for their generous and impactful grant award.” The Alumni Association has nearly 900 Life Members. To learn more, go to the website hopedale-alumni. org or send e-mail questions to hopedalealumni@gmail.com.
What type of implant am I going to get? Different lens implants can be used during cataract surgery with different materials, quality and ability to reduce your need for glasses. A lower cost does not always translate into savings, as you may be getting a different implant with a lower base cost and not used by the majority of surgeons. Ask your surgeon what type of implants he/ she uses and why. Will my need to wear glasses be reduced? Cataract surgery is a wonderful opportunity to limit or eliminate your need for glasses. As the surgeon removes the cataract, there is an opportunity to replace the cloudy lens with a special high tech implant able to achieve this goal. The new bladeless laser assisted surgery offers the opportunity to correct astigmatism at the same time as the surgery, allowing the lens implants to correct for distance, near and everything in between. Ask your surgeon if he/ she is able to achieve this goal. Will I have stitches? It is ideal to eliminate the need of stitches such as the surgery is a no-stitch surgery. Placing a stitch can be complicated by stitch induced astigmatism, a foreign body sensation and a broken and irritating stitch. Ask your surgeon if he or she is still using stitches.

Sports Hopedale Hockey Team Opens Season Against Grafton By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer Hopedale High’s ice hockey team will begin its third year with a game against Grafton on Dec. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Blackstone Valley Ice Rink in Hopedale. The Blue Raiders currently are a co-op team comprised of skaters from Millis, Hopedale and Douglas. However, they could be adding another school to that mix if they get approval for Whitinsville-Christian to join them. A decision had not been made by Local Town Pages deadline. Two years ago, Hopedale and Millis skaters posted a 5-11-2 record and last year Douglas was added to the group and the squad finished its second campaign with a 3-13-2 campaign. “We’d like to add WhitinsvilleChristian to get more numbers, to elevate our program and to be more competitive in our conference,’’ said Greg LaBossiere, who’s been Hopedale’s only hockey coach. “We’ve had about 30 boys out in each of our first two seasons but that’s for a jayvee and varsity team. Hopedale plays in the Russell Conference, which includes Worcester (co-op team of city schools), Northbridge, Assabet, and Littleton.
“Our goals for the season are to be competitive in every game and every practice and to qualify for tourney play,’’ LaBossiere said. “We’ve got some strengths but my prime concern is a lack of depth. Our assets are a strong work ethic, good speed and having some players with experience. Sharpening our skills will be an area where we’ll spend time.’’ LaBossiere, who also is the boys soccer coach at Hopedale, employs a blue-collar style where his skaters dump the puck into the offensive zone, chase it, and crash the net. “We don’t have an excess of talent so we’ve got to rely on fore-checking and the basics on defense,’’ he emphasized. Hopedale’s attack will be led by senior captain Nick Tamarro, a left wing who led the team in scoring and also was named as a central Mass. all-star. “Nick showed an ability to lead as a junior,’’ said LaBossiere, who’s been a special education teacher at Hopedale for three years. “He’s got speed, he can skate and his release is quick. He’s also a good passer who’s very unselfish.’’ Junior defenseman Shane MacQuarrie was the Blue Raiders top-scorer on the back line. He returns for his third varsity season. “Shane is tough, hits hard, can pass and has a good
slapshop from the point,’’ LaBossiere said. Senior Jared Pittman of Millis will play right wing and LaBossiere likes his grit and desire. “Jared is hard-nosed,’’ LaBossiere noted. “He wins a lot of puck battles and he’s not afraid of battling hard into the corners. He can pass and get his share of assists and he’s got a good wrist shot.’’ Three forwards who’ll be key components of Hopedale’s
nucleus are senior Noah Luccini, eighth-grader Bryan Testa and junior Bryan Goldstein. Luccini’s uncle (Bob) was the boys varsity coach for 24 years at Franklin High and led the Panthers to a state championship in 1983. He ended his career with 400 victories, then became a fulltime scout for the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League. “Testa will play either center or wing,’’ LaBossiere said. “Based on pure skills, he’s phe-
nomenal. He’s an exceptional skater, handles the puck well and can shoot a wrist shot or a slapshot. He had three goals and three assists last year. Goldstein is coachable and has a high hockey IQ. He’s got a great work ethic and hopefully he’ll provide depth on the second line. Noah will play center or wing. He skates well, can control the puck and is a good shooter. His playing time is probably going to increase.’’ Dan Hollis and Collin Burgess of Millis are sophomores who played defense on the varsity last year. They’ve got solid potential and should get more ice time. “They’ve got good knowledge of the game, they’re tough and they have a high hockey IQ ,’’ LaBossiere said. Senior goalie Jon Brunt spent his first two seasons on the jayvee squad but he’ll likely get the nod to start in goal. “Jon has good instincts and he’s smart,’’ said LaBossiere. “His skills are good and he’s still developing. He should turn into a formidable goaltender very quickly.’’ LaBossiere’s staff consists of Mike MacQuarrie, who’ll direct the jayvee team, and John Tamarro and Ed LaChapelle, both volunteer coaches.

Sports Unselfishly Kincaid Leads Hopedale Soccer Having parents who happened to coach your older sibling’s soccer team would lead one to believe that the younger child would follow in those same footsteps. Hopedale’s Colleen Kincaid did follow in her older sister Emily’s footsteps, but it wasn’t because she had to. “It was about 10 years ago when I started playing soccer after watching my parents coach my older sister’s town teams,” Kincaid said. “I would go to the games and just watch (Emily was about three years older than Colleen) and eventually I decided to try it out. I’m not sure why, but I found that it was fun and I liked it.” It wasn’t long after that Kincaid joined club soccer teams as a forward and when she played for the U12 squad her position changed to midfielder, a position she has held on the Hopedale varsity soccer team for the past four seasons, a position she felt was a good fit for her ability. Having grown up playing in the area with a lot of girls on the high school the then junior high student was looking forward to making the jump to the high school where she would have a chance to play with the senior girls on the varsity team. There was no doubt in her mind that she’d make the squad. “I expected to make the (varsity) team being that Hopedale is a small school and the pool look-
ing to make the team was not all that large,” she said. “I was really excited to make the team, but it was a much different game than I was use to on the club level. High school seemed to be a more physical game and not as technical and I considered myself a technical player so it took a little adjusting.” That freshman campaign was a rather special one for Kincaid and her teammates. After finishing the regular season 11-4-2 the team eventually lost 1-0 in the Division 3 Central Semi Finals to Sutton, who would lose in the Division 3 State Championship game. “We had a great year and I was glad to be a part of it, but that loss was a heartbreaker,” she said. “I had never felt as sad as I did after losing that game. I took it to heart because of the seniors.” Having said goodbye to nine seniors from that squad the following year was considered a rebuilding season in Hopedale, but someone forgot to tell Kincaid and her teammates. Despite putting together an 8-7-3 record the Blue Raiders snuck into the Division 4 Central Tournament as the 12th seed out of a possible 13 teams to qualify. During this rebuilding year Hopedale eventually saw its season come to an end once again to Sutton, who did capture the state title this time around, in the
Sectional Championship tilt 4-2. There were no playoffs during her junior season so coming into this year she had only one real goal in mind. “I really only set one goal for myself – to get Hopedale back into the tournament, especially after missing out last year,” Kincaid said. “After going 10-7-1 we were seeded eighth, but lost to the number one seed Maynard (3-1) in the Quarter Finals. We still had a pretty good year and I’m not disappointed.” In addition to being named a captain on the squad, the senior midfielder also lead the team in scoring notching 20 goals and 13 assists for the Blue Raiders. “To her credit she could have scored a lot more goals, but she likes to get her teammates in-
volved and distributes the ball,” Hopedale Coach Nelson Machado said. “Colleen is always giving 100%; while some players will take it easy in practice she’s still going strong. She’s a disciplined athlete that leads by example.” Although as a senior captain Kincaid concluded her career with a balanced scoring attack, but she wasn’t always like that. In fact, in the early stages of her soccer career she loved the attention she would receive from scoring. “I’m a scorer, right off the bat I began scoring and I liked the feeling so I scored more and more that I became a natural,” the senior said. “Now I’m much more team oriented and having
matured I like to get my teammates some chances. I feel that I’m usually involved with the scoring one way or another, so I don’t care as long as we win and the team benefits.” Having already been named to the Dual Valley Conference All Star team in her sophomore and junior seasons, Kincaid added her third this past fall while finishing in second place in the league MVP voting. The senior midfielder was also named to the All Central Mass team as well as the ALL State team. Having the ski and tennis seasons still to go through Kincaid is hoping that her stronger of the three sports lands her a scholarship when her high school career comes to an end. “Right now I’m looking at UMASS Boston where I would definitely play soccer, but academics are my top priority, she said. “In the long run academics are going to get me a job, not soccer.” Machado believes that Kincaid would have no problems playing on the next level. “If she attends a Division2 or 3 school she’ll be a perfect fit for their soccer team, but I know she’s looking at academics first because she near the top of her class,” the coach said. “Losing her is going to be an impact on the team next year, there is going to be a big void that we must fill in her absence.”
Hopedale Volleyball Proudly Makes Hopedale History By Christopher Tremblay For the third straight year and the fourth time in school history Hopedale earned a trip to the Division 3 Central Volleyball Tournament. Going 13-5 in the regular season earned the Blue Raiders an eight seed in the playoffs where they ran the table shutting out the first three (#9 Ayer-Shirley, #1Tri-County and #4 Bethany Christian) they came in contact with before meeting up with Sutton, the third seed in the tournament. Sutton took out Hopedale with a 3-0 sweep to capture the championship.
“This was the furthest that the team has gone in school history; they reached the Semi Finals in 2011,” Coach Andrew Mainini said. “Usually at the beginning of the season I set goals, but this year I didn’t. I knew what this team was capable of despite being a young team (2 seniors, 1 junior, 4 sophomores, 3 freshmen and 2 eighth graders) and I didn’t want to box them in. Making the tournament was not a goal, but an expectation.” Playing on a competitive level throughout the season Mainini
had faith in his girls and once he saw the seedings and who they would have to go through he was very optimistic about his team’s chances. “I thought that we could play with the number one team (Tri County) as their regular season opponents were not as strong as ours and the number four team (Bethany Christian) we had played the last game of the season with the winner getting the four seed and the loser the eight,” the coach said. “We lost that game 3-0, but we knew we
could play with them and started planning right away for them so we started to put together an aggressive approach to the match.” Hopedale lost to Sutton twice during the regular season (3-1 and 3-2) and during the championship contest the senior laden team had much more explosiveness than the Blue Raiders. Providing the spark Hopedale needed to get through to the championship game was senior captains Vicki Van Zile and Jenn Chiarello. Van Zile, the team’s setter is also the most experi-
enced athlete on the team, while Chiarello was the one to keep the team in check when they got into a rut. According to the Coach, Chiarello would calm the team down and tell them to relax; it’s not a big deal, just go out there and give it your all. Sophomore Jenna Van Zile came into the season, not as an unknown, but grew into her role much faster than Mainini expected. The sophomore especially turned her aggressive game on during the playoffs.

Little Red Shop Museum and Historical Commission “Preserve History Together” The Hopedale Historical Commission (HCC), as appointed by the Board of Selectmen, and in partnership with the Little Red Shop Museum’s (LRSM) Volunteer Curator, continues to oversee the operations and contents of the town-owned Museum. Built in 1841, the LRSM is the Town’s oldest industrial building and home to the original Draper Shop. When the building was moved to its current location in 1951, Draper Corporation opened it as a corporate museum. The building and its contents were gifted from Draper Corporation’s successor, Rockwell International Corporation, and accepted at Hopedale’s Annual Town Meeting on May 5, 1975. The Little Red Shop resumed operation as a Museum in October 2009. The Museum is staffed solely by volunteers and is open year-round to the public. In addition to a small budget from the Town, the Museum is supported in part with volunteers and funds from the Friends of Historic Hopedale (FoHH), an
independent 501(c)3 non-profit. The Historical Commission continues to maintain a strong and viable relationship with the National Park Service (NPS) and the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, Inc. (BRVNHC). In April, the Commission was awarded a $15,000 grant from the Blackstone Heritage Corridor, Inc. (BHC). It will be used for reimbursement of funds expended for the training of an all-volunteer staff in the best cataloging practices for the LRSM, cataloging its various artifacts and documents, FY2016 storage fees for looms, and consultant fees for the development of a LRSM strategic master plan, statement of vision, and collections policy. In May, with grant money from the BRVNHC, the HHC sponsored, approved, and installed an interpretive sign about the Hopedale Community House and the Unitarian Church which is currently on display at the corner of Hopedale and Draper Streets. Execution of the final

placement of the LRSM’s 10-loom collection is nearing completion, with seven looms going to the Noble and Cooley Center for Historic Preservation (NCCHP) in Granville, Massachusetts, for long-term storage; the Atwood silk loom being donated to the Windham Textile and History Museum (WTHM) in Willimantic, Connecticut; and the Northrop and barn looms remaining at the Museum in Hopedale. At its April 1st meeting, the HHC, by a unanimous vote, reaffirmed the mission of the LRSM that was put forth by the HHC when the LRSM reopened in 2009. It was then established that the LRSM would be about “all Hopedale history,” not just about looms and/or the Draper Corporation. The mission was substantiated in a report, The Red Shop’s Future, published in March 2003 by the BRVNHC/ NPS. It provided a summary of recommendations from the community workshop held in Hopedale on December4, 2002. Those recommendations were to help guide future planning efforts for the Red Shop.
The LRSM Committee, an ad hoc committee of the HHC, was dissolved on April 1st. The HHC unanimously voted to fully absorb any functions, of the ad hoc LRSM Committee, into the HHC. As of December 19, 2014, the Blackstone River Valley (BRV) became the 402nd unit of the National Park Service, with its mission being to create a world-class, bi-state National Park that will interpret the nationally significant sites and districts that convey the industrial history of the BRV, and work to support the network of partners and stakeholders, and related resources, and, facilities throughout the John H. Chafee Blackstone River National Heritage Corridor. The Hopedale Village Historic District was named a partner and stakeholder in the park legislation. The NPS has begun holding stakeholder meetings to discuss the planning process and to answer any questions about the new Park. The first Hopedale “stakeholder” meeting was held in July, including representatives of the
Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Town Administrator, and Hopedale Historical Commission. The NPS wants to partner with stakeholders to bring resources and rangers to the “mill” villages to offer outreach and education to our community. As its part, Hopedale would need to lead a local effort to establish a local historic district (LHD). LHD’s can help to bring tourism, economic development and open up grant opportunities. The BHC Partnership Grant Project, establishment of a LHD, and the remediation of the moisture problem in the LRSM basement (study published in 2013) will no doubt require much attention by members of the HHC, and other volunteers, and our Community going forward. The HHC continues to work with its partners to “preserve our history together.” Current members of the Hopedale Historical Commission are: Jonathan Chase, Chairman; Raymond Andreotti, Treasurer; Suzan Ciaramicoli, Recording Secretary; Kelly Merchant, and Frederick G. Oldfield, III.

home MARKETPLACE Hopedale’s Bancroft Memorial Library to Host Home Financing Symposium David Hodgdon, Realtor of Hopedale with Millennium Realty, is presenting an educational panel of experts to discuss the new home financing process and the products available. Future home-buyers from throughout the area are encouraged to attend the Home Financing Symposium at Hopedale’s Bancroft Memorial Library on Saturday, Devember 12 from 10:30am to 11:45am. This free event will be helpful for those that have never purchased a home and those who have previously owed but would like updated information on today’s home financing process and options.
The panel will consist of three experts representing different aspects of the mortgage industry. Mary Ann Brennick, Senior Loan Officer for Residential Mortgage Services, will speak from the perspective of a mortgage brokerage. Beth Gilmore Caico, Mortgage Loan Specialist, from Milford Federal S&L Association, will represent a bank on the panel. Finally, Heather Putnam Graham, Business Development Officer from MassHousing, will speak about the programs available through MassHousing, including their new veteran’s mortgage. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask the panel
questions during the last fifteen minutes of the Home Financing Symposium. Hodgdon was inspired to organize the class after hearing many of the same questions from prospective buyers. He said, “Mortgages and the mortgage process are a big mystery to many people. There are so many types and sources out there, some people don’t even know where to begin. My goal is to give people a starting point so that they know the right questions to ask mortgage professionals, and bring them one step closer to financing a new home.” The Home Financing Sympo-
sium will be held at Hopedale’s Bancroft Memorial Library at 50 Hopedale Street in the downstairs program room on Saturday, December 12, 2015 from 10:30am to 11:45 am. Space is limited to just forty participants, so attendees are strongly encouraged to preregister by e-mailing David Hodgdon at davidhodgdon@hotmail.com or calling 508-246-8311. Coffee and donuts will be served and there is no charge for the event. David Hodgdon has been a Real Estate Agent with Millennium Realty since September of 2014, joining the office soon after receiving his real estate salesper-
son license (#009532775). He is a member of the Worcester Regional Association of Realtors and the Massachusetts Association of Realtors. Formally in restaurant management for over ten years, Dave was also the Marketing Manager for the Massachusetts Lodging Association. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from Ithaca College. Dave lives in Hopedale, Massachusetts with his wife Lisa and their three children. When he is not showing houses to prospective homebuyers, he enjoys skiing with his family, planting the vegetable garden, and cooking gourmet meals.
Home Energy Efficiency Means Cost Savings By Deborah Burke Henderson, Contributing Writer With today’s focus on climate change and global warming, you might consider ways you can reduce energy waste in your home. My husband, Bill, and I have taken several steps to reduce our carbon footprint by retrofitting our three-level Ashland townhouse over the past 15 years. Here is what we have learned in the process and how you might optimize your home’s energy efficiency and reap annual cost savings. An easy first step was to install a programmable thermostat. This allows us to customize our heating system schedule for each day of the week. During the heating season, we set the indoor temperature to the recommended 68 degrees for daytime hours and 63 degrees at night. If there’s an unusually warm day in the fall and we want to open our slider door and enjoy the air, we simply adjust the thermostat by switching the heat to “off ” and reactivate the schedule with another touch of a button. It’s especially easy to schedule lower temperatures for long periods of time, if you’re away from home. Programmable, and new wireless thermostat technologies, can
our townhouse. This provided better insulation, and we immediately noticed a reduction in outside noise. These windows do save some money but maybe not enough to justify their extra cost, unless you know you’ll be staying in your home over the long haul. As we have replaced wornout appliances, we’ve invested in those products with an ENERGY STAR® or other high-energy efficiency rating as another proven way of saving money and energy.
Conservation Ideas Other energy conservation steps we took included setting our water heater temperature to 120° F; using cold water to launder clothes (about 16 percent of an average home’s energy usage goes toward heating water); always turning off lights, computer,
printer, and our TV when not in use; and replacing and weatherstripping our front door after ice dam damage in 2013. Explore ways you can invest in home improvements that will start paying off immediately and the savings will add up year after year. Plus, by improving your home’s energy efficiency, you will make your home safer and more comfortable and help reduce your carbon footprintimproving the environment and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. For more information about a no-cost Home Energy Assessment, available incentives, rebates on heating equipment, and other energy conservation tips, visit www.MassSave.com or call 866-527-7283 to schedule your assessment.

help you to save energy in your home as well. Through the Mass Save® program, Ashland residents are able to take advantage of rebates for both programmable and wireless thermostats. Right now, Mass Save is offering rebates of up to $100 per thermostat purchased at retail. Eligible customers residing in 1-4 unit
homes can also purchase select discounted wireless thermostats and have them installed at no cost. With these rebates, it is easy to start saving energy and money in your home. One year we took advantage of a tax incentive by having energy efficient triple-pane slider windows installed throughout
