Is It Spring, Yet?

Second Annual Holliston AgCom Family Event March 22 at Breezy Hill By J.D. O’Gara

Department Launches Program to Inform Officers of Residents with Special Considerations

It’s been a really long winter. Members of Holliston’s Agricultural Committee, or AgCom, are asking a very logical question – “Is It Spring, Yet?” with their Second Annual Family Event welcoming the season on Sunday, March 22, from 12-4 p.m., to take place at Breezy Hill Farm, 583 Adams Street, Holliston. As it did last year, the event will feature baby animals and farm-related fun for the whole family, and the suggested family donation, which will support Holliston AgCom, is just $5. The Holliston Agricultural Commission’s Second Annual Spring Fam“This is just a fun event for ily Event, “Is It Spring Yet?” – is scheduled for March 22, from 12-4, at families in town, because the Breezy Hill Farm.

By J.D. O’Gara At times, we hear news reports of a beloved parent with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, who has wandered out the front door and into the woods, or other situations where a child or teen with Autism or a mental health issue has an unfortunate encounter with police officers who weren’t aware of the child’s special circumstances and fears. In these cases, a little knowledge can go a long way. The Holliston Police Department aims to arm itself with that knowledge and get to better know and strengthen its relationship with the community it serves and protects – and it needs community response to make it happen. In January, The Holliston Police Department launched

the C.A.R.E. (Children and Residents Encounter) program, aimed at helping police gather information about member of the community with special needs, to help foster a relationship with the community. Lt. Craig Denman is overseeing the program, which was officially launched in January. “Basically, it’s something we became aware of and thought would be beneficial for people in our community, and so we decided to develop and adopt it and get it out there.” Examples of residents who might benefit from this program include, but are not limited to: • Children or adults with autism • Adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease

Support Warren Woods’ Conservation Warren Woods in Holliston and Ashland represents a unique land conservation opportunity to protect 142 acres in a highly developed area, expanding the network of conserved open space to over 1,000 acres! A partnership with these two conservation-minded communities over the past three years has resulted in an unprecedented commitment of more than $5 million in Community Preservation Act funds and other municipal funds. The land is a mix of beautiful wetlands, uplands, open meadows and forest with trails for hiking, skiing, bird watching and exploring. A wide variety of wildlife live there, including red fox, turkey and screech owls. The property is also a key connector of already protected lands, and provides a connection between Holliston Town Forest, Ashland State Park and Mass Audubon’s Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary in Hopkinton and Holliston. Now, Massachusetts Audubon’s final task is to raise $130,000 toward the purchase and stewardship of this property.

“Those funds would be used to support our stewardship program and to support the money that Mass Audubon has committed to the town on that project,” says Bob Ford, who works in land protection for Mass Audubon. In Ashland, for example, Mass Audubon has committed $150,000 in goods and services, as well as funds to help defray the town’s cost in purchasing their 120-acre portion from Northeastern University. Thirty acres of the land are in Holliston, which was acquired last year using Community Preservation funds. The next step in Holliston, says Ford, is to work on the conservation restriction on that parcel, which Mass Audubon

will hold. “The land really connects a conservation land corridor,” says Ford. “The towns will own the land, and Mass Audubon manages the restriction in perpetuity, meaning that annually we would visit and monitor boundaries, and help the town prepare for visitation, etc.” Any contribution will benefit the abundant wildlife at Warren Woods, as well as the generations of visitors who will enjoy and explore this incredible property in the heart of the Commonwealth. To donate to this project, contact Liz Albert, Campaign Manager, at (781) 259-2104, lalbert@ massaudubon.org.

filled with chicks, horses and lots of kids and lambs from PJ Kilkelly’s farm. “We wanted to do something for the residents in the town, something to bring them out of their houses, get them excited about the weather changing and, hopefully, spring coming. Last year what we did was PJ had a lot of baby animals, and it was a fun event for kids and families.” Last year, says Mark, she had a 4H table and hosted a scavenger hunt, where visitors would have to check out all the tables at the event to get their 4H sticker. These included a seed-planting table and information on how important bees are to the community. She

says these types of tables will be at the event this year and will include kids’ crafts as well. In fact, the AgCom is hoping to have

folks plant seeds of a certain type of flower that they can later plant down at the community garden. “We’re thinking families can plant the seeds there and then raise it and then plant it at the community garden out front of it,” says Mark, who says the group hopes to get more word out about the community garden this year, as well as more information on what may be going on at the newly acquired Serocki property in town that was

They’ll even get to watch! Money raised from this event will go toward a butterfly aviary planned for the community garden, which has seen a lot of changes this year, says Mark. “We’ve increased it, put in chain link fence surrounding the whole garden, added garden plots, and we have a little sitting area for the gardeners just to make it a more pleasant place for the community to come to,” she says. Overall, says Mark, the spring event will raise awareness of all kinds of farming in the town. “It’s important that we all stick together and support each other,” says Mark, who says the turnout last year was larger than expected, despite some cold temps. “It was a freezing cold day,” she says, “but I think people were just happy to have someplace to go with the kids, just to get out of the house. And hopefully, the snow will melt by then.” For more information on the Is It Spring Yet? Event, visit www. hollistonagcom or find them on Facebook.

• Children or adults that use a wheelchair or other mobility device • Children or adults who are non-verbal • Children or adults with Down’s Syndrome In the case of a resident who is lost, says Lt. Denman, “What it does is it saves time for us. If we have information prepared for us prior to somebody wandering off or becoming missing, it expedites the search for us and reduces the time it would have taken to ascertain the information. This will hasten our ability to begin to look for the person.” The form itself asks for information on the special interests a resident in question may have. If the resident likes the water or the woods, or trains, the police department can direct personnel to seek those out in the area where the person went missing. The questionnaire asks names and contact numbers of friends and family who can assist, a physical descrip-

Local Town Pages www.hollistontownnews.com tion of the person with the special circumstance, and even any fears and behaviors that might be important. “If they’re afraid of emergency lights and sirens,” says Lt. Denman, for example, “having that knowledge will help us to approach someone in a calm manner that makes them feel safe. (We ask) does he or she have any fears associated with police, and how would emergency personnel calm them without your presence?” Lt. Denman says it has happened where Holliston residents have become endangered and police have had to come into the situation. “We could get called for a domestic situation, a disturbance, or somebody could be wandering for a multitude of reasons. In general, we’ve had people with Alzheimer’s wander off and we’ve had special needs people wander off. One of the things we can do is we have access to a tool called Blackboard Connect, which will put almost a robo-call out to the perimeter if someone went miss-

PLEASE RECYCLE this newspaper

ing in a particular section of town, and we could get a phone call to be looking out in this area. That can be an aid in our ability to locate somebody.” The C.A.R.E. information, says Denman, will be “a help to us, like in not triggering a violent response. What can we do if we have an encounter that will hopefully keep them in a calm state, not agitated.” This information, in addition to ongoing police training, will keep the police department’s relationship with its community a positive one. So far, the Holliston Police Department had a favorable response to the program on its Facebook page, says Denman, although it may take some time for the community to respond by filling out forms, which are available at the police station lobby and can be downloaded off the police department website at hollistonpolice. com.

Young Holliston Man with MS Fundraising for Accessible Van Hi, this is Chris Tatevosian, family member, friend, acquaintance, graduate of Holliston high school, Johnson state and Trinity colleges of Vermont. I need your help. I realize many of you are familiar with the fact that I have been living with multiple sclerosis, since 1980. As of 2005 I have been wheelchair-bound, but are you aware that I am rarely able to leave my accessible apartment, because I am unable to transport my motorized wheelchair, an absolute necessity from one location to another. Occasionally, I can schedule a pickup with “The Ride” a local transportation service. For those in a wheelchair. These trips have to be scheduled days, sometimes weeks in advance, which is extremely limit-

ing. I missed the Thanksgiving holiday at my sister, Michelle’s house, due to the fact that there was no way to get me there. I’m unable to visit my dear family. My mother in Holliston, MA, my sisters, Michelle and Lynne living in Medway, MA, my aunt and uncles and I never see friends anymore. I hate the fact that I cannot attend Connect church in Ashland, MA, anymore. My church and church family are something that I cherish and desperately need in my life. I’m asking for your help to purchase a wheelchair accessible Van. The cost of which is $54,000. As of November 18, 2014 I have raised $20,000 and am now seeking your help in the process of raising the remaining $34,000 necessary to purchase this lifeline.

I know it’s a lot to ask, but anything you can donate gets me closer to living a happy, healthy life. A life beyond the three room world where I have existed over the past two and a half years. Mr. Tatevosian’s fundraiser is on the crowd funding site, Giveforward at https://www.giveforward.com/ fundraiser/9yk6/chris-tatevosians-accessible-van-fundraiser?utm_ source=facebook&fb_ ref=Default. It will end March 2. Although edited, this article first appeared in and is used courtesy of The Holliston Reporter, www.hollistonreporter.com

Mass Academy of Math and Science Students Place Top 3% at Math Competition Students Problem Solved Hypothetical Real-World Scenarios in International Contest Worcester, Mass. – In February, a team of students from the Mass Academy of Math and Science at WPI placed in the top 3 percent at a worldwide, high school, math competition in which students used mathematics to solve realworld modeling problems. The team of George Botev, of Groton, Mass.; Stephanie Donegan, of Charlton, Mass.; Wayne Hobby, and Francheska Torres, of Charlton, Mass., earned Finalist distinction in the annual High School Mathematical Contest in

Modeling (HiMCM). A second team composed of Dari DeWalt, of Ayer, Mass.; Isay Katsman, of Shrewsbury, Mass.; Dan Larrabee, of Shrewsbury, Mass.; and Joshua Perlmutter, of Holliston, Mass., earned Meritorius designation by placing in the top 25 percent, announced the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP). The winning teams were listed within the following categories in this order: Outstanding, National Finalist, Finalist, Meritorious, Honorable Mention,

Successful Participant, and Unsuccessful. A total of 671 teams from 151 schools worldwide competed. The teams worked at their schools during a designated 36-hour period after selecting one of two mathematical modeling problems: unloading commuter trains or handling the breakout of a plague. “The math modeling contest truly supports the mission of Mass Academy,” said Michael Barney, director of the Mass Academy of Math and Science. “It allows

students to collaborate and apply their math skills on real-world problems. It brings the subject to life.” The competition was an opportunity to problem-solve in a group setting, Donegan said. “The experience taught me a lot about how to work within a collaborative environment by playing to each individual’s strengths in order to reach a common goal.” Torres agreed. “Through this 36-hour math competition I was able to practice my teamwork

and communication skills,” she said. “ Even though it was a lot of work, I think the fact that we were all interested in attempting to solve such an interesting problem helped us work as a team.” Botev referred to the competition as an ‘eye-opening’ experience. “It changed my perspective on the mathematical thinking process,” he said.

Bringing Together Scouts and Community at the Teddy Bear Tea By Celeste Salley and Katie Vaughn, Junior Troop #72933 Co-Leaders

have for girls in today’s world. All Scouts organizing and attending the event were encouraged to bring a new teddy bear to be donated to Project Just Because in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Our Daisy Teddy Bear Tea event was held Sunday, January

25, 2015. It was a wonderful community event bringing together Scouts and community members alike, and we are so proud of our Scouts as they pursue their Bronze Award.

Our Junior Girl Scouts from Troop #72933 are earning their Bronze Award, which is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can achieve. As a part of that process, the girls worked at developing their leadership skills and organized a philanthropic event for Daisy Girl Scouts. The event’s theme focused on “Being All that You Can Be” and “Sharing What You Have with Others.” The Daisy Scout guests practiced their etiquette skills and enjoyed refreshments while hearing from leading women in our community. Junior Scout organizers invited Detective Ciara Ryan, Firefighter Angela Lawless, and War Veteran Erin Mahoney to share what it means to be a woman in their profession, what it takes to get there, Zoe Goughan welcoming with Daisy Scouts to the Teddy Bear Tea while and what recommendations they7:55other BHM-ALFretail2_Layout 1 2/11/15 AM Page 1 girls get ready for their skits.

Holliston Junior Girl Scout Troop #72933 recently reached out to mentor younger Daisy scouts in an event focused on etiquette and sharing.

Holliston High Pops Concerts March 13 & 15 Whether your taste is jazz music or rock and roll, show tunes or golden oldies, you will probably find it at the Holliston High School Music Department’s Annual Pops Concerts March 13 and 15. Each year around this time, Holliston High School’s cafeteria is transformed into an intimate cabaret setting. White tablecloths and soft candlelight set the mood while wait staff serve refreshments to you at your table. An elevated stage for the performers further enhances the cabaret-style experience. The talents of Holliston students are showcased in vocal and instrumental numbers under the direction of Mr. Stuart Britton (vocal) and Ms. Laura Bilodeau (instrumental). The concerts feature the high school’s large ensembles: Chorus, Act 2, Harmonics and Testostertones, Concert Band and Jazz Band. A significant number of soloists and small groups also perform throughout the evening. These smaller acts vary for each of the two shows.

Tickets for each show are $12 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens. Seating can be reserved in advance by sending payment with a student performer or by contacting Mr. Britton at brittons@holliston.k12.ma.us. These tickets may be claimed prior to the show. Please make checks payable to HHS Music. General admission tickets may also be purchased at the door for both performances. All proceeds from the two concerts go to support music programs throughout the Holliston school district. Mr. Britton and Ms. Bilodeau orchestrate the event with assistance from the arts booster group Holliston Music and Arts Parents Association. Adults wishing to volunteer at the event or to donate drinks may contact leslierdooley@gmail.com. The public is invited to attend one or both performances Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. or Sunday afternoon, March 15 at 4 p.m. in the HHS Cafeteria.

We’re Somebody Now. Not since Steve Martin’s character in The Jerk discovered his name in the phone book, has so much excitement about a new publication rippled through a community. Such is the exhilaration presently engulfing our Mudville neighborhood upon word that it has been included in a new book entitled 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out. Yes, Mayor Blair’s shrine to Mighty Casey now stands with The Field of Dreams Movie Site, The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and Babe Ruth’s grave, as one of the nation’s top baseball destinations. The book, authored by Josh Pahigian, is the 2nd edition of a publication that was a finalist for the 2008 Casey (appropriately enough) Award. The new book profiles America’s greatest baseball museums, pop culture landmarks and

ballpark sites. From sandlots and skyboxes to TV rooms and sports bars, America’s love for baseball has inspired countless memories, discussions, and tributes which Pahigian explores. Pahigian will be signing books at Casey’s on Saturday, March 21st at noon. The signing is intended to honor Mudville’s historic link to the game, while celebrating Holliston’s contribution to its development during the 19th century. Books may be pre-ordered at Fiske’s and will also be available at the event. The cost is $20 each. Pahigian will read excerpts from the book at the event, while revealing Mudville’s ranking among the 101 locations. It will be a day that baseball fans, as well as devotees of all things Holliston, will not want to miss. Things are going to start happening now.

Senator Spilka Named Chair of Senate Ways and Means Committee Senator Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) has been named the new Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, which oversees the budget and finances of the Commonwealth. “I would first like to thank Senate President Stan Rosenberg for this honor,” said Senator Spilka. “I am grateful and humbled that he would place his confidence, faith and trust in me. This is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. I will work hard every day to help President Rosenberg achieve his ambitious, bold agenda to empower all members, increase transparency and reduce public skepticism about government. I will work hard every day with my colleagues to assist our communities and help raise up all of the residents of Massachusetts. Now, we have a lot of work to do.”

How Do I Know if I Need an Interior Designer?

Four important reasons to hire a professional interior designer: 1. 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 lacking in personality or taste is clearly NOT what you intended. 2. 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

4. 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.

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.

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.

3. 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 profes-

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, 8:00 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 coura-

geous 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 communi-

cation, 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., Brenda Dater, Director of Child & Teen Services at Aspergers Association of New England, Pam Garramone, former PFLAG Executive Director, Jeff Lafat, who founded Empowering People for Inclusive Communities (EPIC), Nancy O’Neil, an athletic director and director of PE/health/wellness programs for 32 years, and Mary Kaye ~ Yoga Instructor and motivational speaker, talk show guest and mother of two college girls and a high school boy.

Keefe Tech Drama Club Presents Peter Pan The Keefe Regional Technical High School Drama Club presented their production of Peter Pan, based on the novel by J.M. Barrie and adapted by Craig Sodaro, on Friday, February 13, in the school auditorium located at 750 Winter Street in Framingham. Established in 2009, the Keefe Drama Club is co-advised by Keefe English teachers Valerie Rector and Sarah Clifford and is open to students in all grade levels. The club rehearses from October through mid-February, three days a week with full week rehearsals the last two weeks before the performance. In addition to offering students the opportunity to act and learn technical and backstage skills, the Drama Club teaches students about teamwork and creativity, and helps build confidence and friendships within the club. This year’s production was the most elaborate to date due to the number of scene changes and onstage activity. With a cast and crew of over 30 students from grades nine through twelve, Peter Pan is an adaptation of Scottish novelist J.M. Barrie’s 1904 play about a mischievous boy who refuses to grow up.

In addition to Peter Pan, the play features unforgettable characters including Tinker Bell - the fairy, Captain Hook - the evil pirate and Wendy, John, and Michael - the three children who fly off with Peter Pan to Neverland. Their adventures lead them to cross paths with the Lost Boys, the Pirates and several Indians. “This year’s cast and crew had fun, worked very, very hard and simply enjoyed that time when you just pretend, believe in fairies and don’t quite yet “grow up.” We wanted to offer a lighthearted and enchanting show to younger audiences this year. We were very excited to be performing for our neighbors at the Barbieri Elementary School,” noted Mrs. Rector, Co-Advisor. Cast and Crew members included Gabrielly Almeida, Ella Rivas, Erin Dowdy, Jessica Rackauskis, Taylor Moore, Yasmin Barbosa, Brianna Medina, Hudson Bickford, Liberty Cornett, Katelin Copithorne, Abby Keeney, Derick Martinez, Vitoria Martins, Talia-Anne Rodriguez, Breeana Choate, Lee Ann Conzo, Derrick Hollis, Darah Case-Kane, Stephanie Rigot, Eric Lundberg,

Michelle Chase, Sammie Phipps, Nicole Shearer, Sean McGillicuddy, Stephen Aitken, Michael McDonald, Eric Lundberg, Chris Rossini, Nick Forristall, Dan Hamel, Kevin Guzman, Jimmy Medrano, and Jasmine Minasian. “Joining the Drama Club this year was one of my best decisions. It got me involved in the school and helped me make more friends. The play is amazing and definitely worth seeing,” said Abby Keeney, a junior from Holliston who plays Slightly, one of the Lost Boys. This year’s play was produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., of Englewood, Colorado. About Keefe Technical High School Keefe Regional Technical School is a four-year public high school located in Framingham, MA and is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition to 15 career and technical programs, Keefe Tech offers a complete college preparatory and honors academic program to students from the communities of Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton and Natick.

at all times. Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide in 2014. Last year, Over 500 people participated in Ashland/Holliston and raised over $122,000 all to support the Society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer once and for all. “The Relay For Life movement unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all,” said Linda Ahronian, a long time Relay For Life volunteer “Many participants are our family, friends, and neighbors who have faced cancer themselves. Each new team that registers brings us one step closer to saving more lives.”

LIVING HEALTHY NewEnglandFatLoss.com Student Becomes Teacher 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.

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,” Sixty-three 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-yearold-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.” Your personal passage to weight loss can start today!

Listen up pimple poppers; you know who you are, always picking at your skin, scrutinizing your face in the mirror everyday looking for any signs of an emerging pimple. There is even a name for this excessive skin picking, “acne expire.” Although picking and squeezing may give an immediate sense of satisfaction, in fact the skin damaging fall out from overzealous picking can leave you with permanent scars that are very difficult to remove. Adverse effects from picking. Besides dark marks and pitted scars on the skin’s surface, a more serious problem with picking is

how it effects your acne overall. Squeezing and picking a pimple damages the follicle wall deep inside the skin causing more inflammation and breakout. You could get a cluster of pimples in the picked area or the popped pimple may come back in the same place again and again because the follicle wall inside the pore has been damaged. How to get rid of a pimple. The best way to get rid of a pimple is to apply ice to the lesion for a few minutes twice a day. The ice reduces the redness and swelling, healing the pimple from the inside out, and minimizing the chance of scarring and post inflammatory pigmentation. I tell my acne clients if they pick at their skin subconsciously (like while watching TV) to wear

gloves or wear something around their wrist that makes noise like jangling bracelets or bells. If they pick in front of a mirror, tape a picture of a picked scar on the mirror to remind them to keep their hands off their face. Whatever it takes to break the picking cycle. Instead of picking, schedule an acne treatment to have your follicles cleaned out safely, without damaging the follicle wall and spreading bacteria. Better yet, get on a good home care program to prevent the breakout in the first place. Questions about acne? Call me at (508) 881-1180 or email me at skinsmartsalon@aol.com.

LIVING HEALTHY Winning Smile, Winning Approach “A great smile is key to one’s self-esteem. However, dentistry is not only about treating teeth, it’s about treating the whole person…,” says Dr. John Park, Owner and President of the recently-opened Park Place Dental Associates, in Hopedale, MA. This holistic approach is at the heart of Park Place Dental Associates (www.parkplacedentalma. com), which just opened its doors last summer (July, 2014). Dr. Park knows that creating a great smile goes beyond the clinical aspect. He believes in forming a solid relationship with the patient before creating that beautiful smile. “A foundation of trust between patient and dentist should be established before beginning dental work, and support continued throughout treatment. We try to insure that patients understand the need for dental procedures and feel comfortable before proceeding…We try to talk to patients, not at them.”

Both adults and children are welcome at Park Place Dental Associates. Dr. Park notes that parents sometimes think that children must see a pediatric dentist, which is often not necessary. Dr. Park recommends that children start visiting a dentist around the age of 3, not only to monitor dental health but also to familiarize them with the clinical setting, dentist, hygienist, etc. Negative dental impressions formed at a young age can create dental phobias into adulthood, “…So it’s important to create a positive dental impression early in one’s life to help insure a lifetime of good oral health,” explains Dr. Park. Having a single dental office instead of two for parents and kids can also help busy parents schedule multiple appointments more easily. “We often see families schedule the whole gang on the same day,” notes Daron Minor, Office Manager. Convenient afterschool, extended evening, and

Saturday hours can make scheduling multiple appointments more manageable. Park Place Dental Associates is open Wednesdays, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursdays, 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Fridays 8 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturdays by Appointment. Despite the relatively young age of Park Place Dental Associates, Dr. Park’s dental wisdom comes after 15 years of practicing dentistry after graduating from the Boston University School of Dental Medicine in 2000. Dr. Park is also the proud Owner and President of Hopkinton Dental Associates in Hopkinton, MA (www. hopkintondmd.com) open since 2007. Under Dr. Park’s direction, Hopkinton Dental Associates was voted #1 Favorite Dentist in Hopkinton in the 2013 and 2014 annual Wicked Local Readers Choice awards, a success he hopes to carry over to Park Place Dental Associates.

Sports Dracoules Displays True Grit On & Off The Ice By Ken Hamwey Matt Dracoules has a lot of upside as a student-athlete. The Holliston High senior is a co-captain on the Panthers’ ice hockey squad and he can play either defense or forward. In lacrosse, the 6-foot, 160-pounder usually plays as an attackman, but he’s also been used as a midfielder. An honor-roll student, Dracoules, who plans to study criminal justice, has been accepted to Endicott College, Roger Williams University and St. Anselm’s College. The 18-year-old Holliston native is easy to admire, but it’s how he cares for his parents (Linda and Chris) that makes Dracoules a breed apart. Both his mom and dad have been dealing with cancer since Dracoules was in elementary school. And, although academics and athletics are very important to him, his No. 1 priority is his parents’ situation. “My parents’ illnesses present a challenge, but helping them comes first,” said Dracoules. “When I play hockey, my focus is all on the game. Currently, my dad is in remission and my mom’s on a new treatment that’s been helpful. Their medical condition now is a lot better than times in the past. It’s something I’m used to.” Early on, hockey coach Rick LeBlanc saw outstanding character traits in Dracoules, elevating him to an assistant captain as a junior. LeBlanc also was quick to

move his star defenseman to forward this season to generate more offense. “Matt is willing to do whatever it takes to help his team,” LeBlanc said. “He’s made the move to forward and it’s helped us. As a cocaptain, he leads by example and by being vocal. He’s good with our younger players, always helping when needed.” The Panthers, who were 9-8-2 as the season was in its final stages, have qualified for a tourney berth — a goal that’s been uppermost in Dracoules’ thoughts. “Our team’s objective has been to get into the tourney and advance to Boston Garden,” Dracoules said. “We’d like to finish up as seniors playing for a state title. It’s a realistic goal.” Dracoules, who earned a starting job in hockey as a freshman, enjoyed his team’s tourney run two years ago when Holliston beat Bourne, Abington and Blue Hills before bowing to Medway. That streak remains his top thrill in hockey. “I had a solid game against Abington,” he recalled. “My passes were sharp and I took away some of their 2-on-1 breaks. We had great teamwork, and we did a good job. I’ve had some strong games this year playing left wing. I had a goal and an assist in a win over Dover-Sherborn. I scored two goals in a victory over Bellingham and got the winning goal in a 2-1 triumph over Dedham.” An instinctive skater, Dra-

Holliston High senior Matt Dracoules will head to Endicott College this coming fall, where he hopes to play hockey. The athlete, skilled in lacrosse as well as hockey, has shown he’s up to the challenge of not only school sports, but whatever challenge may head his way.

coules has a high hockey IQ and he’s adept at passing, shooting or checking. “My style is aggressive,” he said. “I like to skate hard to the puck and cause mayhem.” Calling teammates Brad Arvenitis (goalie), co-captain Derek Bedard (forward) and Preston Trudeau (forward) quality players who give Holliston good chemistry, Dracoules also is a fan of his coach. “The players trust coach LeBlanc,” Dracoules said. “He’s always trying to help us improve, and he’s a great motivator.” A fractured wrist as a freshman cost Dracoules a few hockey

games and prohibited him from playing lacrosse. But, he plans to play his third year of lacrosse in the spring before he moves on to college, where he hopes to play hockey. “Right now, however, I’m focused on the tourney,” Dracoules said. “If we don’t do well, I’ll be disappointed, but I wouldn’t blame anyone. We win as a team and lose as a team.” Relying on an athletic philosophy that focuses on improving daily, winning and having fun, Dracoules lists his parents as his role models for their support and

encouragement. “They get to as many games as possible,” he said. Dracoules may not think so but he, too, is a role model. He’s a leader who’s displayed true grit, courage and class.

Sports Holliston Swim Sees Fresh Faces, Better Stats Emerge By Christopher Tremblay In the past, the Holliston co-op swim team has not had the numbers in terms of athletes to compete on the highest level with the rest of the Tri Valley League. This winter, while Mother Nature was continually dumping snow all over the state on a regular basis, Holliston, who now co-ops with Medway, was doing basically the same thing to their opponents in the pool. For the first time in a long time, Holliston was sporting decent numbers in terms of athletes, and those numbers were just what the doctor ordered. “The kids this year are much more committed to the program,” said third year head coach Julia McAdams. “I’ve got some serious depth to call on to get us some points. It’s a big change from anything we’ve had in the past, and a good amount of these athletes swim for club teams, giving us another plus.” The fresh new faces that have graced this year’s squad took things seriously and not only went undefeated (6-0) on the season but were also able to claim stake of the league championship with a 5-0 record. McAdams believes this fast rise from last year’s single victory to the league championship is the program she installed when she became the coach. “When I took over three years ago, I set up a program with a level of expectation – you have to make the commitment and obviously they’re doing that,” the coach said “We had a lot more kids come out for the team this year. Our numbers nearly doubled from a year ago.” Not only has Holliston increased their numbers to the tune of success, but a lot of these first time swimmers are in their first year of high school. The freshmen have taken over the pool and are making a name for themselves. The all-freshman team of Sanjay Sekar, Will Hein, George

Savino and Jack Creonte (from Medway) captured the TVL Championship in the 400 relay. The four freshmen took the crown in convincing fashion defeating its nearest competitor by a full 10 seconds. Individually Sekar swims the backstroke, Hein, the breaststroke, which he finished second at the league meet and Savino grabbed a third place finish in the butterfly at the league meet. Junior Elizabeth Hein will swim the 100 yard breaststroke as well as the 100 yard freestyle. Two other swimmers McAdams relied heavily on were senior captains Ryan Lynch and Rilly Conroy. Lynch is a great short distance swimmer that dealt in the freestyles, while Conroy was the coaches ‘go-to girl’ in the 500 yard freestyle. “Both Rilly and Ryan have provided great leadership skills to

The relay team of Katie Rolan, Catherine Dunne, Corinne Carbone (Medway) and Elizabeth Hein (Holliston).

the entire team, especially at practice when I can’t be watching all 40 kids,” McAdams said. At the Central/South Swimming and Diving Sectional Tournament the freshmen males qualified to advance to the State Tournament in the 200 yard medley relay (11th place with a time of 1:46.29) and the 400 freestyle

relay (8th, 3:29.16). Also qualifying were Sekar in the 100 backstroke (16th, 58.77) and Elizabeth Hein in the 100 yard freestyle (8th, 56.06); 100 yard backstroke (17th, 1:03.68), also part of the 200 yard medley relay and the 200 yard freestyle relay. Other Holliston swimmers that will participate in the state tourna-

ment will be Hein (200 freestyle and 100 breast stroke and Savino (100 butterfly and 100 freestyle). Overall, the Holliston boys finished 16th and the girls 14th at the Central / South Swimming and Diving Sectionals.

Holliston co-op swim, which partners with Medway, saw some new talent this year, bringing their standing up. Shown, Sanjay Sekar, Will Hein, Marc Plumb, George Savino, Jesse Young (all of Holliston), Jack Cronte and Nick Dunne (both from Medway)

Criterion Child Enrichment Supports Milford Regional’s Building Campaign The Milford Regional Medical Center Foundation officially acknowledged news of a $25,000 gift from Criterion Child Enrichment in Milford to the hospital’s building campaign. The gift is part of $23 million the capital campaign has already raised towards a goal of $25 million. “We are truly appreciative for the generous support we have received from all corners of our community toward our building campaign, and this gift from Criterion Child Enrichment is a wonderful example of Milford’s collaborative spirit,” said John Burns, Chairman of the building campaign as well as the board of trustees of Milford Regional. “Criterion is a social services organization founded by one of our new board members, Dr. Robert F. Littleton Jr., who clearly understands the value of enhanced health care, and the benefit of contributions toward the effort to reach the highest standards in that area. Dr. Littleton and the Criterion board of directors also recently provided a campaign gift to our building project from an-

other of his social service organizations, the Evergreen Center. His commitment to bettering people’s

lives is extraordinary, and again, it is our pleasure to thank him for his generosity.”

Criterion Child Enrichment specializes in developmentally appropriate programs and ser-

vices for young children and their families. The private non-profit corporation offers communitybased developmental enrichment groups, child care, early intervention and newborn home visiting programs. Founded in 1985, Criterion Child Enrichment has grown to be one of the largest providers of child and family development services in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, serving more than 5,000 families each year with a staff of over 300 professionals at 12 locations throughout Massachusetts. The building campaign is supporting a major capital initiative that will result in a new emergency department, intensive care unit and private patient rooms. The new two story structure will more than double the size of the current ED from 30 to 52 private treatment rooms, increase the number of patient rooms in the ICU from 10 to 16 expanding their size to accommodate the latest technology, and add a Milford Regional Medical Center accepts a $25,000 donation from Criterion Child Enrichment towards their building campaign.
