Dean College – 150 Years of a Personal Experience

By Marjorie Turner Hollman

Dean College celebrated its Founders Day last month. The institution, named for Oliver Dean, has grown from its days as an academy, then a Junior College. The school now offers a residential experience with many 2- and 4-year degree programs. Photo courtesy of Dean College.

By J.D. O’Gara How many college students can even recognize the President of their institution, much less are on a first-name basis?

Dean College just turned 150 years old on February 19, what it refers to as “Founders Day,” and today, its students are guided as personally as they

The night was bitter cold, but for the 20+ folks who showed up at the Franklin Public Library for the first meeting of the Genealogy Club, it was a time to talk about family connections and countries of origin. Many participants were from Franklin, with a few from Milford, Norfolk and Bellingham. The theme of connections was consistent as each person explained their interest in participating in the group.

Linda Batchelder of Franklin noted that she got interested in genealogy because of a relative’s ashes that remain in her attic.

“His name was Bertul—he died during the 1918 flu epidemic— a friend of my grandfather’s,” Batchelder began. “When my grandfather was able to return to Latvia, he was supposed to take the ashes with him, but wasn’t allowed to. They’re still in our attic. We learned that Bertul had been our grandfather’s best man

in his wedding and married a relative of ours.”

Each person had stories to share of what they had already learned in their family research, and all had mysteries they hoped to solve in the future. Vicki Buchanio, Head of Reference and Public Services at the Franklin Public Library told the group, “I have lots of relations who must still be alive—I’ve never found the death certificates for them, even though some of them were born in 1802, so they must still be alive!”

Among those who attended were people with roots in Finland, Poland, Germany, and England, besides several of Scots-Irish descent. Buchanio was pleased with the turnout— she had been afraid no one would show up. Buchanio has had a long-time passion for genealogy

a native of South Franklin, began with 44 students just at the end of the Civil War, two months before President Abraham Lincoln would be assassinated. As an academy, Dean prepared its students to take on the rigors of further coursework.

Growing to offer Junior College courses (1947-1957), become a full two-year residential Junior College (1957-1994), and now an institution that offers nine baccalaureate degrees and 17 associate degree programs, with part-time continuing professional education credit and certificate programs, Dean continues with that mission – to fully equip its students to succeed.

“We’ve built on our strengths,” says Dr. Paula Rooney, President of Dean College since 1995, who, continuing the tradition of past Dean presidents, resides right on the over 100-acre campus, as do a number of faculty.

“When we look at Associate Degree offerings, the first two years are the most important, and that really still is the case. Students get a strong academic foundation in the first two years,” says Rooney.

Dean Associate Degree stu-

dents, says Gregg Chalk, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Dean College as well as an adjunct professor, are 65% more likely to complete it in four semesters or fewer, and that, he says, bucks the national average of 44%. This, he says, is due to Dean’s academic monitoring, something, he says, a lot of colleges miss. At Dean, students don’t slip through the cracks, and 95% of its BA students graduate within four years.

“Students appreciate that academic support, the one on one support they get here and the small class sizes (16:1 student: teacher ratio),” says Coleen Resnick, Vice President of Institutional Advancement.

“We are small. We’re comfortable. We’re hands on. We know what courses students need to keep in that menu. Start here and finish here, and here’s what you need to do that. We’re true to that,” says John Marcus, Vice President of Enrollment Services and Marketing.

Rooney explains that academic monitoring plays such an important role that even when the school experiences snow days, “we know who isn’t going to class, and if anybody’s behind. It’s the way the academy functioned. Everyone knew your name. It’s the

In 1947, Dean Academy became both an academy and a junior college.

Ten years later, it would become solely a junior college, until 1994.

Now, degree programs are expanded, and the school has added more professional and continuing education classes to meet growing needs.

same mantra. This is not a place you come and get lost, it’s where you come to be a student and a scholar, and we always want to know you’re working toward that outcome.”

Even Rooney gets to know the students, inviting each to her home at least once a year. The college president takes pride in cheering at student sporting and other events or even noticing when they appear alone or “down” in the student cafeteria.

“I’m willing to step out of that presidential role. That’s the best part of being in a learning environment, when you can merge what happens in the dining hall with who we are as institution.” She strives to hire people who share that philosophy.

“That’s what I think sets Dean apart,” says John. “Everyone works together. Student development and staff work together with academic affairs. Everyone knows what’s going on. The expectation

is that all employees are heavily involved in the life of the students that are here.” “ Here, that is our job,” agrees Resnick. “We’re out in the hallway, we’re paying attention to the students, and we’re really a community.”

Families of students are also encouraged to take part.

“Whenever we can involve a family, and family represents a ton of definitions, then you’re providing a support level to the student that makes it more probable that they will succeed. Sometimes today, struggles are pretty significant, whether we like it or not,” says Rooney.

In fact, says Chalk, most (88%) of the 1,100 or so students who attend the college, situated perfectly in Franklin, live on campus, and nearly half (46%) are enrolled in a BA program. And those numbers are just the full-time day students.

A diverse student body with 12% international students, Dean College draws from 32 states and 16 countries.

Conference to Take a Look at Guiding Children Millis-organized Taking the Lead for Children Conference March 23

By J.D. O’Gara Millis company Be Confident, Be Courageous (beconfidenbecourageous.com) is sponsoring the first Taking the Lead for Children Conference, to be held this month, from 8 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., at the Sturbridge Host Hotel, Sturbridge, Mass. on March 23.

“It deals with issues of concern for a lot of kids,” says Maria Melchionda, who taught public school for 25 years and is now an adjunct professor at Bridgewater State, who organized the conference with her partner Kathy Brophy, also an educator at Wellesley High School.

The event is geared toward for parents, teachers, social workers, guidance counselors, clergy and anyone who works with children to come together to listen, learn and engage in open discussions on ways to improve the lives of our children.

“We thought, ‘Why not be on top of this and get the word out on the latest in education?’” says Melchionda.

The conference will feature experts in the fields of education, depression, relationship violence, substance abuse, LGBTQ issues, autism spectrum, suicide, and disability services/awareness.

Be Confident, Be Courageous, says Melchionda, is a company whose message is positive, that gives 20% back to a nonprofit each month. This conference, she

says, is another way to give back.

“We care about kids,” says the mother of two. “That’s what being confident, being courageous is really about. We’re just looking to get the information out to people.”

Melchionda says she and Brophy were careful about the speakers they chose. All are experts in the fields of education, depression, suicide, relationship violence, substance abuse, LGBTQ issues, autism spectrum and disability services/awareness. Many of these speakers are authors and will be available for book signing.

Many of these speakers are inspirational, says Melchionda. “We want people leaving feeling good about the information they’ve received. I think, just to have people take a look and be aware of how they act, and what language they use – what to say and to think before they speak to any kid. No one knows a child’s journey.”

Speakers include Dr. Michael Fowlin, who will speak on worldwide inclusion, Dr. Malcom Astley, who will talk about the problem of relationship violence and communication, Dr. Lisa Machoian, a national expert on adolescent mental health, specializing in girls, Judy Giovangelo, founder of BenSpeaks.org, Dr. Adam Diliberto, who will discuss mindfulness in K-12 education settings, Dr. Shannon Whalen, health education expert, published author David McCullough, Jr.,

time, four-year program.

A lot of folks who’ve had experience with us may not have come to us for the full-time experience,” says Rooney. “We have a rich alumni presence in that group.”

Marcus adds that Dean has offered a part-time option for at least 40 years, one that has changed with the times. Nowadays, online courses and evening courses are offered, and at one time, courses right on the commuter rail was a way the school responded to a need.

“We’re resilient, quickly turning on a dime,” says Marcus, who adds that Dean was the first college in the country to go wireless.

“We’re a small school, yet we’re leading and (on the) cutting edge, trying to meet the needs of students wherever students may be.”

That adaptation and guidance provides a lifelong opportunity.

“We run alumni events throughout the country and world, and at every one, our alumni, regardless of when they graduated, says, ‘If it hadn’t been for Dean, I’d never be where I am today.’ So it is part of our history that we’ve been making this difference,” says Resnick, “It’s a transformational experience.”

Buchanio noted that she uses several data bases, the wellknown Ancestry. com, but also FamilySearch. “I will sometimes start with FamilySearch when I’m looking for something since I find their search results more helpful than Ancestry. com.”

wall” is simply a family connection beyond which you can’t find any information. Bring up the topic of cemeteries and the discussion gets quite animated— cemeteries, it turns out, are great resources for confirming bits of family information.

Buchanio suggested forming this club two years ago, and recently library director Felicia Oti included the hosting of a genealogy club in the library’s strategic plan. “So I simply picked a date for us to meet, Buchanio explained. “This is my private passion.”

As we were leaving, someone said, “I thought I might meet a cousin here, because you never know!” Indeed, the possibility of connections, confirmed and hoped for, appears to drive those who participate in genealogical research to keep looking. Newcomers are always welcome.

But be warned—starting down this road can become addictive!

The club plans to continue meeting through June, the last Thursday evening of every month from 6:30-8 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room. The public is welcome. There’s also a meeting March 1, Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., when

Teen Volunteers wanted for Franklin Community Service Organization Lion’s Heart–Teens Giving Back, a national community service organization for teens in 6th through 12th grade, has opened a chapter in Franklin. Enrollment runs thru August 1, 2015. Started in 2004 in Southern California, Lion’s Heart has experience tremendous grown since it founding. It’s members have served over 100,000 hours of community service.

Lion’s Heart is open to teenagers in 6th through 12th grades. Members perform at least 30 hours of community service each year, and are grouped by grade level and gender. One parent acts as the Class Coordinator, and each group of up to 20 elects their own officers, lead their own meetings, and decide on group community service projects.

BFCCPS Presents Camp Rock

By J.D. O’Gara On February 7, a cast of 35 middle schoolers from the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School, along with about 25 of their classmates working backstage, presented Disney’s Camp Rock, the Musical, under the direction of Ben Benjamin. Each year, the school’s sixth to eighth graders present a production, says Benjamin, who has been overseeing them for 17 years.

Camp Rock, he says, was “great for a middle school production.

Sixth to eighth graders at the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School, under direction of Ben Benjamin, performed Camp Rock, the Musical, last month. The school presents a production each year.

PLEASE

R E C YC L E

The plot involves a rivalry between “Camp Rock” a camp for aspiring young musicians, and its rivalry a new, flashier camp called “Camp Star.”

“We’ve got a lot of talented kids. The music is fantastic with a lot of very danceable moments,” says Benjamin. Students not only learned to perform, he says, but they also learned to help with lighting and sets, forming an idea of what it’s like to work on a stage crew. The production took a lot of family involvement, as well, he says, which included a “family build day,” in which entire families, down to the youngest siblings, got involved, paintbrushes in hand.

Lead roles were cast by audition, with students performing bits from the actual score.

Franklin Police Officers Learn Safe Response for Persons with Mental Illness Officers from the Franklin Police Department are attending a new mental health training course as now required by the Commonwealth’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The curriculum for this training was developed by the Massachusetts National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Mass), the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC). All municipal police officers in the state will receive updated mental health training by the end of 2015.

“This is a major step forward in providing all law enforcement officers better tools for the safe and responsive management of incidents involving people experiencing mental health crises,” said June S. Binney, director of the NAMI Mass Criminal Justice Project.

“The intent of this vitally important training is creating better outcomes during encounters with those who suffer mental illness and other populations. We are grateful to NAMI Mass and the Department of Mental Health for

collaborating with the Municipal Police Training Committee to develop this crucial, best-practices training for new and existing police officers,” said Dan Zivkovich, MPTC executive director.

The intensive, interactive curriculum is taught by specially trained police officers from across the state and includes: n An overview of the symptoms of mental illness n Learning verbal and non-verbal communication skills to safely de-escalate potentially dangerous situations

Recognizing trauma and PTSD Nearly 60 million Americans experience a mental health disorder every year. One in 17 lives with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. And one in 10 children and adolescents suffers from serious emotional and mental disorders that cause n

FSPA Launches New Summer Programs Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) introduces a new series of summer theater programs, two ballet intensives, unique three-day workshops and weeklong camps, and an eightweek session of voice, instrumental and dance classes. The summer session runs from June 29 to August 21, with registration beginning March 2.

FSPA Summer Theater provides the opportunity for handson immersion in a cabaret show, concert musical, behind-thescenes theater design, straight play or musical theater production, with enrollment for one to five weeks.

The Cabaret week focuses on performance skills and presentation, including repertoire choices, song interpretation and audition technique, and concludes with a cabaret style revue at THE BLACK BOX. Students enrolled in the Concert Musical week will rehearse and present the iconic Schoolhouse Rock!

With timeless hits such as “Conjunction Junction,” “I’m Just a Bill” and “Three is a Magic Number,” the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series taught an entire generation lessons about grammar, science, math, money and American history in the most animated and catchy way. A behind-the-scenes exploration of theater design and production will include staging, lighting, costuming, sets and sound. A two-week musical theater program will present the Disney mega-hit, High School Musical. FSPA will stage the record-breaking, chart-topping pop culture phenomenon, along with a junior version, “Middle School Musical,” for younger performers, at THE BLACK BOX. n FSPA also launches two new Ballet Intensives this summer, featuring guest artist Brian McSween from the Joffrey Ballet, a field trip to Jacob’s Pillow, and a performance at THE BLACK BOX. The four-week Advanced Intensive (July 20-August 14) and three-week Young Intensive (July 27-August 14) provide training in classical bal-

let technique, pre-pointe/pointe, modern, dance history and character dance, with partnering, variations and choreography offered at the advanced level.

How Do I Know if I Need an Interior Designer?

Four important reasons to hire a professional interior designer: n You have invested a good deal of money into your home and you want to showcase it to look its best. For example: you’ve paid for an addition or other major renovation.

A professional Interior designer will be invaluable to you during every phase of the project: in the pre-construction phase by planning the interior space for the function you intend and helping with preliminary materials selections. Further, your designer will assist you, the architect and the construction team throughout the process maintaining the integrity of the design.

When the construction is completed, your designer will help you by finishing the design; adding visual interest and details that will enhance the space and provide that wow factor you’re looking for. Many people leave out this last vital step by not budgeting enough to actually finish the project.

Bare walls, incorrect furnishings and a space lack-

ing in personality or taste is clearly NOT what you intended. n You have some ideas but are not sure how to pull it all together. The professional training and natural ability of a good interior designer will save the day! Because a professional designer has been formally trained, the benefit of hiring one for reassurance and general recommendations amounts to more than just another set of eyes. A designer will think of things you won’t.

A designer knows how to provide the look and feel you want

without doubt or second-guessing. You are also buying talent: a good designer has a built-in sense of proportion, style perception, aesthetic ability and good taste. Some of this can’t be taught. It’s innate artistic ability. n You are overwhelmed with your home and don’t know where to begin. A designer knows how to organize, prioritize and execute in the correct order. A professional interior designer has the experience and knowledge to systematically take you through the process in a methodical way, keeping the project on track. n You want to avoid costly

mistakes by planning ahead and hiring the professional. This applies to any remodeling project, preparing for resale or simply updating your home. Proper lighting plans, traffic plans, visual balance, use of focal points, color and finish selections and arrangements are crucial to the success of the project, whatever it may be.

When you make the decision to hire a professional interior

designer, meet with a few first.

Don’t hire the one with the lowest fees or the one your friend likes. Hire the one that shares your vision and earns your trust.

Nancy Werneken is the lead designer at Masters Touch, a local design build firm in Holliston, Massachusetts. For questions or comments call (508) 359-5900 or email info@masterstouchweb.com.

When facing a divorce, remember...

Some Relationships Last a Lifetime.

All of our mediators are seasoned divorce attorneys, and we’ll be there for you every step of the way. We’ll help you understand what you need to know so you can make good decisions in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere.

If you have post-divorce conflict over child support, parenting time, or something else, mediation can help you reach a lasting resolution while lowering your stress level and legal fees.

Pet of the Month

Feral Beauty “Vixen” Needs Quiet Love “Vixen” is a young adult, with very pretty dilute tortie markings.

She was an older feral kitten when trapped and needed time to domesticate. Progress has been made and now it’s time for her to leave her foster Mom and learn to allow all the volunteers to love her and shower her with attention. Since arriving we’ve seen even more progress and she will seek out petting and grooming from the volunteers. She does not like to be held, but she is very affectionate. Vixen is a very gentle, non-aggressive cat and would be best in a quiet adult home.

If you are interested in meeting Vixen or any of our other cats available for adoption please visit www.purrfectcatshelter.org for an adoption application or call (508) 533-5855 to have one sent to you.

All cats and kittens have been examined by a

Veterinarian, spayed or neutered, tested for feline leukemia and FIV, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption. The Purrfect Cat Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill, all volunteer organization providing care and shelter to homeless cats and kittens with the ultimate goal of finding permanent, loving homes for each cat.

LIVING HEALTHY Eyelid Margin Disease By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Eyelid margin disease, including blepharitis, occurs when the eyelids become coated with oily particles and bacteria near the base of the eyelashes. This condition is very common and unfortunately, is often misdiagnosed by many eye professionals as allergy, which it is not.

With eyelid margin disease the eyelids are inflamed. Symptoms include: Eye and eyelid irritation, itchiness of the eye, redness of the eye and a burning sensation.

This condition frequently occurs in people who have a tendency toward oily skin, dandruff or dry eyes. It may cause irritation, itchiness, redness, and stinging or burning of the eye.

What causes blepharitis?

Everyone has bacteria on the surface of their skin, but in some people, bacteria thrive in the skin at the base of the eyelashes. Large amounts of bacteria around the eyelashes can cause dandruff-like scales and particles to form along the lashes and eyelid margins.

Blepharitis is also associated with meibomianitis — a dysfunction and inflammation of the nearby oil glands of the eyelids (called meibomian glands).

Blepharitis is also common in association with a skin disorder called rosacea. In this case, we call the eyelid problem “ocular rosacea.”

What is ocular rosacea?

People who have acne rosacea, a common skin condition causing pimple-like bumps and facial redness, may suffer from ocular rosacea. This can affect the eye-

lids with redness and swelling. If you have ocular rosacea, reduce alcohol, caffeine and chocolate in your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil and flaxseed oil) are also helpful. Doxycycline or similar derivatives can help improve the dysfunctional oil glands as well as both facial and eye symptoms.

What if I get a stye?

A stye develops from an eyelash follicle or an eyelid oil gland that becomes clogged from excess oil, debris or bacteria. Styes can be a complication of blepharitis.

If you have a stye, treat it like you treat blepharitis, and if not better within two weeks, see your ophthalmologist.

How is blepharitis treated?

Blepharitis is often a chronic condition, but it can be controlled with the following treatment:

n

Warm compresses. Wet a clean washcloth with warm water, wring it out and place it over your closed eyelids for at least one minute. Repeat two or three times, rewetting the washcloth as it cools. This will loosen scales and debris around your eyelashes. It also helps dilute oil secretions from nearby oil glands, preventing the development of a chalazion (stye) - an enlarged lump caused by clogged oil secretions in the eyelid. n Eyelid scrubs. Using a clean washcloth, cotton swab or commercial lint-free pad soaked in warm water and few drops of baby shampoo, gently scrub the base of your eyelashes for about 15 seconds per eyelid. n Antibiotic ointment. Your ophthalmologist may prescribe an antibiotic ointment.

Using a clean fingertip or cotton swab, gently apply a small amount at the base of the eyelashes before bedtime. n Artificial tears or steroid eye drops may also be prescribed temporarily to relieve dry eye or inflammation.

Eyelid margin disease is very common … With a full time external disease specialist on premises, our center offers state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat many eye problems, including blepharitis. We are now a referral center for difficult cases of lid disease, blepharitis and ocular rosacea. With our knowledge and experience, we can manage this problem and continue our mission to provide world class eye care for the entire family.

Local real estate agent Debbi Mosher spent many years researching for a reputable weight loss program. After two decades and thousands of dollars on nutritional books, she came across a New England Fat Loss article. She was intrigued with their methods and after reading and viewing every testimonial she could find, she decided to join.

“When I went in for my appointment on September 9, 2014, I knew this was for me,” Mosher said.

“The staff was very supportive and having contact with the doctor everyday was such a benefit to me and my success.”

With Mosher’s successful outcome and high recommendations on the guidance of Clinic Director Dr. Johns, three of her friends have since joined New England Fat Loss and achieved winning results. The Medway resident credits her weight loss success (35 pounds and 48 inches) with the program’s diagnostic process and individual customized plan. Once her trigger weight gain and weight loss foods were identified, the pounds quickly came off!

“It’s more than just food combinations,” Sixtythree year old Mosher explained. “I am eating the food that is good for my body, good fat-burning food.

When I started, my metabolism was like a 78-year-

old-woman, by the end of the program, my body is running as a 50-year-old. There is no way I could have figured that out on my own.”

In addition to shedding the pounds and inches, Mosher now feels rejuvenated and energetic, feelings she was missing with her added weight.

More importantly, she is able to enjoy special events, going on vacation, attending parties and eating out, and continues to lose weight.

“You are totally satisfied and not hungry,” Mosher said. “I walked out of there knowing how to live the rest of my life without gaining weight. I think that is phenomenal!”

Mosher was so impressed with the New England Fat Loss Program she asked if she could join their organization and will soon be sharing her story and helping other people through their weight loss journey.

“I know how long I searched,” Mosher said. “I would love to help other people.”

Panthers’ Martin Aiming For Tourney Title In Girls Hoop

By KEN HAMWEY Lexi Martin would like to experience what a Sectional or State championship feels like in basketball. She already knows what it’s like to be a State champ in soccer.

Franklin High’s versatile guard-forward, who’ll play basketball at Merrimack College next season on scholarship, has competed in the post-season playoffs as a sophomore and junior, but the Panthers tri-captain has never been a tourney champion in basketball. She’s hoping her final chapter at Franklin will have a different ending.

“To finish my career as a State champion would be one of the best moments of my life,’’ Martin said. “We’ve set high goals this year and if a state title occurred, it would be so rewarding because of our hard work. It would be like studying hard for an exam and getting and A on the test.’’

Coach John Leighton’s squad, which was 15-4 as the regular season was concluding, likely will be a high seed in the playoffs, and Martin no doubt will play a key role if the Panthers are to get to the Sectional and State finals.

“We’ll need our confidence level to be high and we can’t be timid,’’ said Martin who has averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals a game. “If we’re mentally tough, then we’ll have a chance to win a Sectional title, then advance to the States.

The 5-foot-11 Martin has played inside and also on the perimeter. She’s athletic, solid defensively and extremely capable

in transition or from behind the three-point arc. She’s got a 40 percent average shooting threes.

“She’s a special player, so athletic and versatile,’’ Leighton said.

“She’s got a high basketball IQ, her court awareness is excellent and she can play any position. I’d rate her as one of my all-time best defenders.’’

Martin labels her style as “aggressive’’ and lists quickness, instincts, jumping ability and rebounding as her strengths. “Where I can keep improving is on my mid-range jumper,’’ she said. “I

need to get more comfortable as a shooter.’’

An eight-year veteran of AAU basketball, Martin rates her outing last year at Mansfield as her best high school game. “They were unbeaten,’’ she recalled. “I hit some threes and scored on some drives.

Then, they double-teamed me, so I moved to power forward and I scored in the paint. I finished with

a career-high 29 points and we won.’’

A two-time Hockomock allstar, Martin calls that honor “a tribute to my teammates.’’

“It’s nice to be recognized but it also shows the players around me contributed,’’ Martin said. “Our other captains — Julianne and Tracy Pisani — are quality players who deserve credit. Julianne is a smart point guard and Tracy is our best defender. The rest of the girls all play effective roles for us and have helped greatly with our team chemistry. Also, coach Leighton has done a terrific job. He’s a great motivator, he’s positive, knows the game and cares about the team.’’

A starter since her sophomore year in basketball, Martin played soccer for three years and also competed in track (200 and 4x100 relay) for two seasons. She was a defender in soccer and was part of the Panthers’ 2012 State title team that defeated Nashoba, 2-1.

“That was a great experience,’’ Martin said. “It was a great thrill and it was exciting to be a State champion. My athletic career at Franklin will soon be ending, but it’s been a great run and it’s been awesome to be part of it.’’

Listing her parents (Kerri and Joaquim) as role models for their support, encouragement and interest, Martin rates Kevin Garnett as her favorite pro because of “his attitude and his work ethic.’’

Martin likely will major in business at Merrimack, a college she chose not only because of its scholarship offer, but also for its balance. “Merrimack is a good fit for me academically and athletically,’’ Martin emphasized. “It’s a Division 2 college, but in two years it will move to Division 1.

Coach (Monique) LeBlanc indicated I’ll have a good chance to get playing time.’’

Last year, Martin was unable to compete in tourney play because she suffered a sprained MCL in her left knee. She won’t be sidelined this time around and her presence could be a major factor if Franklin is to challenge for a Sectional or State championship in basketball.

For Lexi Martin, a second State crown would be a fitting way to end her athletic career at Franklin.

Rob Saraf and Tri-County Wrestling – A Great Match

By Christopher Tremblay Upon entering high school at Tri-Country Regional in Franklin, Plainville native Rob Saraf continued playing football and basketball during his freshman season.

However, when it came time to take to the court his sophomore season, he just wasn’t feeling it and decided to forgo playing basketball, but he needed something to fill that void.

“I played basketball my freshman year, but it just wasn’t clicking for me anymore, so I decided to give it up,” the Plainville resident said. “I just didn’t want to sit out a season without taking part in a sport, so I decided to try out for the wrestling team, as it’s an aggressive sport, and I like contact.”

Having played middle linebacker for the Cougars football team, Saraf came to love the contact his position entailed thus the aggression that he was able to put forth on the mat gave him the outlet he was looking for in wrestling.

“Wrestling is an aggressive sport, and I liked the feeling I got from it. It’s a feeling that you can’t get anywhere else,” he said. “I knew a few kids from my shop that wrestled as well as the coaches, some of the best around.

I knew that this sport was for me.”

Unfortunately his first wrestling year was not all that long.

The first year grappler didn’t get to see anytime on the mat due to a broken ankle, but was more than ready to let out his aggression the following year.

“During my junior year I finally got into my first match. I was very nervous, but then I’m nervous every match before I settle down,” Saraf said. “Each time I get on the

Rob Saraf likes the aggressive nature of wrestling, and he does well in the 182 pound weight class, a class he takes on for the good of the team, despite weighing only 170.

mat, I used to let things get to me, but now as a senior, it doesn’t play any part – I just go out there and wrestle while focusing on nothing else.”

As a junior he split time with Alex Fair, wrestling at 160 pounds where he went a respectable 9-6.

This winter Fair is wrestling at 170 pounds as Saraf grapples in the 182 pound weight class, despite being underweight by 10 pounds.

“We already had a wrestler at 170, so Rob took the 182 pound weight class to help out the team,” TC Wrestling Coach Steve LaPlante said. “He’s strong enough to handle himself in this weight category and uses his speed to his advantage. He’s definitely been holding his own despite going up against kids 12-14 pounds heavier than he is.”

Saraf went the way of his coach, saying he did what was beneficial for the team, not necessarily for him.

“It doesn’t matter the size, its David vs. Goliath. You’ve just got to step up and accept the challenge,” Saraf said. “If I wrestled at my weight, we’d be weaker as a team having no one to wrestle in the 182 weight class. Overall it’s what’s best for the team.”

Currently the Tri-County senior has posted a 20-6 record on the mat, including a second place finish at the Cohasset Tournament where he lost to the previous year’s state champion. One of the reasons behind Saraf’s success this season has been Nick DePe-

dro, his wrestling partner.

“Nick is someone that I look up to and am honored to be his partner. He pushes me each and every practice and I feel obligated to do well for him,” Saraf said.

“Nick, along with the TriCounty coaching staff has made me the wrestler that I am today.”

Saraf would love for the team, which is currently undefeated at the time of this writing, to capture the league championship. Individually, he wants to make the state tournament but is unsure of what to expect if he does get there as it’s

a place the senior has never been invited to in the past.

“I don’t have anything to go by, but I promise if I get there I’m going to step it up and accept the challenge,” he said.

Coach LaPlante believes that when Saraf gets to the post season, the senior will do more than enough to make the school proud.

“I expect Rob to have continued success the rest of the year.

He’s invested not only in himself, but the team,” the coach said. “He has been working extremely hard and has matured as an athlete throughout the season, and I see no reason why he won’t be successful in the tournament.”

Dean College Football Players Accept College Offers Five Dean College athletes accepted offers to continue their college football careers on National Signing Day on Wednesday, February 4th.

Dean’s defensive lineman Allen Edwards signed to play at the University of Pittsburgh; linebacker Raeshawn Finney signed to play at Central Connecticut State; defensive lineman Tyree Holmes signed to play at Merrimack College; offensive lineman Shane McQuillan also signed to play with Central Connecticut State; and offensive lineman Tarrance Wells signed to play with
