Allison Bernhardt just moved to Franklin this past August with her husband and three children, and she brought with her a big heart – a lion’s heart.

In fact, the volunteer, and her teenage children have had such a positive experience with a national community service organization, Lion’s Heart – Teens Giving Back, for teens in 6th to 12th grades, that they decided to begin a chapter in Franklin.

“It’s a nationally recognized program,” says Bernhardt. “Kids can volunteer in the community any way they want to, except fundraising. This includes, says Bernhardt, community work they might do as part of a school or church group.

“They can help the school, help a church, help an elderly neighbor,

be in the Best Buddies program, all of that counts,” she adds. “They can really volunteer any way they like. The only requirement is that they volunteer 30 hours a year and they attend five Lion’s Heart meetings throughout the year.”

Bernhardt brought the organization to Ridgefield, CT after she moved there from California.

“When I moved to Ridgefield, I realized they had the National Charity League there for girls, but no program like that for the boys. My son, Jake and I thought we would start Lions Heart chapter. We started his group with 8 members. Within 3-4 months, we had 25 kids registered in different groups. By time I left, over three years later, it was over

night from 4-8 p.m. In addition to bin sales of original artwork and prints will be a small works table and “clothesline” sale of 8x10 originals. The latter will be sold as a fundraiser for the organization.

Admission is free and the event is open to the public.

“Each member can enter two pieces in any one of the six categories, and each of the categories are judged by a juror (from the Rhode Island Watercolor Society) for 1st place, 2nd place and honorable mentions awards, as well as Best in Show,” says Frank Robertson, a North Attleboro artist, member and past FAA president, who works in water media, watercolors and acrylics. There’s also a “People’s Choice Award,” with votes tallied at the end of the night.

“People who attend the show, we hand them a piece of paper and say, ‘choose your favorite painting.’ Sometimes, that’s a really nice honor, to get chosen by the people who come and watch,” says member and oil and pastel artist Adele Corrigan.

This is the first time the Franklin Art Association will work

with The BLACK BOX, which, according to Corrigan, has been very accommodating. She notes that the lighting may be tricky to get just right for the show.

“Lighting has a lot to do with featuring the work there,” says Corrigan. “We have someone somebody from the BLACK BOX who is going to be working with us.”

The Franklin Art Association (www.franklinart.org) has somewhere between 90 and 100 members, says Robertson. Not all members participate in every meeting, he says, but in order for artwork to be featured in the Spring Art Show, you need to be a member.

“The Association members are terrific in terms of volunteering their time and efforts and to help with all our shows as well as the meetings we have every month,” says Robertson. “Compared to other organizations that I belong to, instead of same 10 volunteers, we have the same 40. It’s a great group.”

The nonprofit group, says Robertson, gets a lot of support from local sponsors, says Robertson.

Thanks to the Franklin Cultural Council, says Adele, the group

was able to buy panels, a great improvement and savings over renting them for each show. Also, many local businesses provide their support.

“So many of the local people help us, there are so many of them. We always acknowledge them in the flyers we do and the programs,” says Robertson.

Membership isn’t necessary to come to a regular monthly meeting, however. These are held the first Wednesday of the month at the Franklin Senior Center, 10

Daniel McCahill St., from 6:30-9 p.m., and they usually feature a guest artist. Anyone can come.

“We have wonderful demonstrating artists,” says Corrigan.

Membership in the group can be a great way to gain encouragement.

“When I first started painting, my instructor said, ‘You’ve got to get out there,’” says Corrigan, who joined for that reason. What she found was she made a lot of friendships, “so much more than just the art,” she says.

“We paint together, do a lot of eating, we like to drink,” laughs Robertson.

Wayne Peltier, an artist who works with oils, ceramic and stained glass comes from North Providence, Rhode Island to be part of the group.

“I just think it’s a real sense of community,” says Peltier. Everyone has the same focus on art, with every venue we do, it’s always positive. Everyone is very supportive of everyone’s work.”

300 kids. It just took off, and my son’s group has done over 4,000 hours of community service.”

Jake, now 17, did a service trip to Nicaragua that counted toward his Lion’s Heart hours, and his group did a number of projects, says Bernhardt, “When Superstorm Sandy hit, they collected cleaning supplies and we drove to Staten Island and helped in the FEMA warehouse, organizing.

They were doing backpack drives of school supplies, did a souperbowl drive for the food pantry, care packages for the troops, collected baseball equipment, helped at a ton of 5K’s, helped with high school cleaning up, after football games and lacrosse games, went to the senior center making Christmas decorations and participated in minks to sinks sales, as well as a lot of volunteer coaching,” says Bernhardt.

Started in 2004 in Southern California, Lion’s Heart has experience tremendous grown since it founding. Its Members have served over 100,000 hours of community service Members grouped by grade level and gender, with a minimum

Page 3

of four per group and maximum of 20, to keep the groups manageable, says Bernhardt. One parent acts as the Class Coordinator, and each group elects their own officers, leads their own meetings, and decides on group community service projects. There is no fundraising in Lion’s Heart; only serving the community in fun and meaningful ways. Parents are encouraged but not required to serve the community. Dues are $130 to join (but discounted or waived for hardship situations), and that money goes toward the computer program, insurance, website costs, t-shirts, trophies and awards.

“What’s nice about Lions Heart, if you meet the criteria at the end of the year you are eligible for certain awards, and that can look nice on a college application.

Any other organization that you’re a part of –you can use those hours toward lion’s heart. I had lots of kids that were Boy Scouts or involved in mission groups, and all of their hours they were able to log with Lions Heart.”

Lion’s Heart is a qualifying organization for the national President’s Volunteer Service Award program; qualified Members receive these awards each June.

Lion’s Heart Members can also

License # 15892

earn the annual Torchbearer’s Award, presented to the Member in each group who went “above and beyond” for the community for that year. Members who are active for all six years will receive the Golden Lion award when they are seniors in high school.

For more information about Lion’s Heart or if you wish to enroll, visit their website at www.

LionsHeartService.org. or contact allison.bernhardt@lionsheartservice.org.

“I’m also letting organizations know that we’re here, as kind of

Volunteer Groups Sought for Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup

By J.D. O’Gara The 16th Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 25, on various sites along the Charles River, including in your own neighborhood. Families, groups, and even eco-minded individuals are encouraged to join Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) and partner organizations that join together to beautify the banks of the Charles River from Bellingham to Boston.

CRWA’s director of communication and advancement, Amy Rothe explains that eight different regions of the Charles mobilize for the effort, and a different coordinator manages each. Locally, our region is known as the Upper Watershed, managed by coordinator Bryan Dore. The Upper Watershed region, which encompasses Holliston, Medway, Millis, Nor-

folk, Franklin, Bellingham and Milford, is in need of volunteers The annual cleanup is part of American Rivers National River Cleanup ®, which, thanks to its volunteers, has removed over 4 million of trash from America s waterways. That includes 27 tons that about 3,000 volunteers pulled from the Charles River just last year, from small items such as cigarette butts to larger items such as tires and discarded appliances, says Rothe.

“The trash that the volunteers pick up is removed from the waterways, where it could do ecological damage,” says Rothe. “A lot of times, when it rains, any garbage in the street will wash into the waterways, even if you think it can’t.

We try to build awareness of what you put on the ground. Given the winter we’ve had, (the cleanup) will have a pretty big impact.”

Rothe says volunteer engagement is another goal of the annual cleanup.

“Our goal is to create a sense of stewardship that lasts beyond a single day event,” says Rothe. The cleanup, she says, connects the CRWA to volunteers, and several picnics are planned on those days near various cleanup locations.

At noon on that day, for example, Upper Watershed volunteers are welcomed to a picnic to take place outside Whole Foods, in Bellingham.

“We still have a lot of open sites available. It’s not too late to sign up,” says Alexandra Ash, event coordinator for the Charles River Cleanup. Groups, she says, can register at http://www.crwa. org/charles-river-cleanup. Someone will be designated as the head of each volunteer group, and the CRWA will provide them with cleanup supplies, including gloves and trashbags, and, while supplies last, official 2015 Charles River Cleanup t-shirts.

“We do have sites available for individuals and families,” says Ash. “We have sites according to what town they want to be in and

Dean College Completes Major Energy Efficiency Project Dean College has completed a major energy efficiency project as one of the founding colleges participating in the Mass College Green initiative. The project is expected to deliver more than $691,000 in lifetime energy savings and features energy efficiency measures, campus engagement and sustainability components.

“The project is reducing energy costs in our Campus Center, the Science Center and in five residence halls,” said Dr. Paula M. Rooney, the President of Dean College. “The innovative financing approach provided by Mass College Green is helping us reach

our sustainability goals by providing a solid investment towards our future.”

The College collaborated on the project with GreenerU, a company that implemented the controls and lighting upgrades to the Campus Center, AW Pierce Technology and Science Center, and Adams, Bourret, Ewen, Jones, and Wallace Halls. A range of energy conservation measures were completed, including mechanical and lighting measures that are aimed at improving energy efficiency across a variety of building types.

In addition, behavioral measures have been conducted to engage

We coordinate the trash pickup, as long as the bags are sort of left near the road in piles.

building occupants, create a sense of shared achievement, and enhance campus-wide sustainable behavior, including the development of “Living Green at Dean: It’s What Bulldogs Do.” “Energy efficiency and sustainability projects colleges help our colleges keep higher education affordable for our students,” said Richard Doherty, President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (AICUM). “This initiative integrates what the Dean faculty teaches and what students and staff care deeply about—a smarter, more environmentally

sustainable campus.”

“Recently, GreenerU has been giving special focus to science centers and dorms as high energy buildings whose energy impact greatly relies on the interaction with building occupants,” said David Adamian, VP of Operations and Engineering at GreenerU. “By addressing energy usage in these buildings, Dean College will see reductions in total campus energy usage.”

FPAC Receives Mass. Cultural Facilities Grant for THE BLACK BOX Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) has received a $220,000 capital grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund. This prestigious grant is awarded to cultural organizations for facilities projects with demonstrated benefit to the local economy and transformative impact to the community served. The grant will be used to fund Phase 2 construction and improvements at THE BLACK BOX, FPAC’s new theater, music and event venue located at 15 West Central Street in downtown Franklin.

“We are excited for the anticipated project renovations to make accessible the facility’s 2nd floor, complete the building’s exterior, and provide state-of-the-art lighting and sound,” noted FPAC Executive Director Raye Lynn Mercer.

FPAC celebrated the grand opening of THE BLACK BOX in September 2014 with a 24th season kick-off headlined by Tony Award winner Beth Leavel and Broadway star Alexander Gemignani.

With the new venue, FPAC’s production season has expanded to include five musicals, three plays and a summer festival. At THE BLACK BOX, FPAC has also initiated Children’s, Jazz, Cabaret, New England Artists, and Artists-

in-Residence Series, in addition to the company’s longstanding free Family Concert Series. Initial concerts have been sponsored, well attended and enthusiastically received, helping to establish the flexible venue as a suburban hub for great music. The multi-functional design of the facility reflects an appreciation for the demand for theater, meeting and event space.

Improvements to accessibility, back-of-house support spaces, second-floor multi-use spaces and basement storage respond to this need and will help FPAC broaden the venue’s adaptability, flexibility and function. In Franklin, THE BLACK BOX provides a noteworthy cultural and communityoriented facility to anchor several town-supported renovation, building and revitalization efforts that comprise a multi-million dollar Downtown Improvement Project.

“I was pleased to work with the Franklin Performing Arts Company and the Massachusetts Cultural Council to bring these critical funds to our area, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead,” said Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin).

“Having a viable performing arts facility in our town center will breathe new life into the down-

town area and be an economic boost for the other businesses. We have long valued the arts and cultural resources in our town, and this grant furthers our efforts to continue to make Franklin a great place to live, work, and play.”

The Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund (CFF) is a capital grant program of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, administered collaboratively by MassDevelopment and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. To date, the Cultural Facilities Fund has made 601 grant commitments totaling $82.7 million to 350 cultural organizations from every region of the state. The 2015 CFF capital budget appropriation allocated $15 million for this round of funding for the acquisition, design, repair, renovation, expansion or construction of nonprofit cultural facilities across Massachusetts. The $220,000 capital grant to FPAC is the largest awarded to cultural organizations in the MetroWest region this year. Statewide, 2015 CFF grant recipients include such

prestigious and renowned institutions as Boston Ballet, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, Museum of Fine Arts and New England Conservatory.

“We’re pleased to be among some of the finest cultural organizations in the Commonwealth being awarded grants this year,” stated Alan Mercer, Director of

Page 9

Advancement at FPAC. “While the funding is so appreciated, to be a recipient of this grant is an endorsement of our credibility as a valuable cultural asset to our community and the Commonwealth.”

With a focus on youth development and a commitment to live music, FPAC productions draw performers and audiences from more than 120 communities across the Boston MetroWest region, western Massachusetts and New England.

Weight Loss Client Reveals Success on the Radio Milford resident Paul Braza recently discussed his triumphant experience with New England Fat Loss on the air with WMRC radio personality Ray Auger who has also shed extra pounds with the weight loss program. In this excerpt, both men praise New England Fat Loss and its staff while discussing their excitement with their new healthy body compositions.

Auger: When did you do the program?

Braza: I started the end of August,

Braza: Yeah, four or five pounds I think.

pretty much up to Thanksgiving.

Auger: It’s a tough time to maintain during the holidays. How did you do it?

Braza: Willpower. Results speak for

themselves. I lost 45 pounds, feel great, and have a ton of energy.

Auger: That first day was pretty amazing.

Auger: What made you want to do it in the first place?

Braza: Diabetic levels were al-

most at insulin and getting way too big. XXL was fitting too tight [and I was] heading in the wrong direction. So you know, drop 45 pounds, diabetes levels are down below where you need meds, everything else, cholesterol, all goes away as you take care of yourself and eat the right foods.

Auger: That list is different for everybody.

Braza: Absolutely, it is.

great and you can’t even believe the compliments from people and stuff like that.

Auger: It boosts the spirit just going out in public and hearing this. Would you do it again?

Braza: Absolutely! If I need to drop

another 35 pounds, I would probably hop right on the program one more time and bring myself down to that fighting weight.

Auger: Talk about the staff a little bit at New England Fat Loss. Were they helpful through the whole program?

Braza: Very helpful. Dr. Johns, you

text him every day, he gets right back to you.

would do what he said and boom, the next day you would see results.

Auger: Any last words you want to send out to everybody?

Braza: For anybody who has any

health issues out there, diabetes being one of the biggest ones..... and you’re body is carrying a lot of weight, I would say, go see Dr. Johns and let him do your analysis.

Auger: We should stress that this isn’t just for weight loss, it’s a change in your health as well. Not just weight wise but cholesterol, diabetes; like my allergies went away when I first started the program.

Braza: I was on blood pressure

meds, all gone.

Auger: They measure your body when you start and they tell you this is what you need to fix. Like apples could be great for me and not so great for you.

Braza: Yes, that was probably the

nail systems Servicing clients for 25 years... experience does matter

most interesting part because the foods that we used throughout the diet were not my best foods after the diet, because you go on the maintenance plan. I’m still three sizes down in pants, two sizes down in shirts. [I] still feel

Auger: That’s what’s really cool. He wants you to text him every day.

Braza: With me, I had to send him

my blood sugar level and my weight and he just kept on you. It works.

Auger: If you had a rough day too, he gives you words of encouragement.

Braza: And if you were at a pla-

How do we dettermine the value of the home?

Is it best to keep the children in the family home?

What are my refinancing options?

How long do I have to refinance or sell the home after a divorce?

How do I buy my spouse out?

Will I qualify for a mortgage on my own?

Will the bank consider my child support and/ or alimony income?

What are my rights?

High-conflict divorces are bad for everyone, so why not talk to one of our experienced divorce mediators about your options? 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.

Dean College Basketball “Adopts” Pint-Sized Teammate Organization Partners with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation On Tuesday, February 24, 2015, the Dean College Men’s Basketball team had a very special guest for their last game of the season – Jayden Dalton.

Jayden Dalton is a thriving

fifth-grader who loves video games and being with his family.

When Jayden was three months old, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Within days, Jayden began his first round of treatment at the Jimmy Fund Clinic. He endured a demanding 68-week course of chemotherapy. Jayden lost all vision in his right eye, and is legally blind in his left, but he has learned how to adapt and will not let anything hold him back.

the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, an organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children and their families who are battling pediatric brain tumors and to raise awareness about this insidious disease. The foundation includes an Adopt-A- Child Program, which is designed for children battling a pediatric brain tumor. The child is paired with a high school or college sports team as an honorary team member. The team then provides love, support and friendship throughout the relationship. This past Tuesday, Jayden was placed on the Dean College Men’s Basketball team.

“Jayden is our 573rd adoption placement,” said Stacia Boynton, Director of Adoptions and Family Relations for the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. “Children and their families sign up for the program through their local hospital, in Jayden’s case the Jimmy Fund Clinic, and once we have their name we will place them with one of the 1,000 plus teams nationwide.”

Before game time, the Dean College Men’s Basketball team welcomed Jayden and his family.

He was greeted with a big round of applause, high-fives by the entire basketball team, and official

Dean College Gear. Head Coach Rico Cabral along with Assistant Coach Anthony Baskerville sat with Jayden in Memorial Hall on campus as he was invited to sign a letter of intent to join the Dean College Basketball team – he is now officially a Bulldog. “The team has been looking forward to meeting Jayden for a while now,” said Cabral.

Prior to the meeting, Coach Cabral met with the team to discuss the program, showing them the Friends of Jaclyn video introduction. The team was thrilled to participate, giving Coach Cabral a thumbs up. “Jayden will be a huge motivation at tonight’s game. We will be inviting Jayden to our playoff games, banquet, and graduation. This is not a one-game deal – Jayden is a bulldog for the rest of the year and for years to come,” Cabral added. Jayden, adorned with Dean Gear, visited the locker room, took a few practice shots and had dinner in the dining center with his family prior to men’s game. “This place is so big,” said Jayden. Sheila Dalton, Jayden’s mother, expressed gratitude to both Dean and Friends of Jaclyn for making this event possible. “We are all very excited about this opportunity. Jayden has been looking forward to this for a long time. It is really awesome to let him know that he is part of the team,” added Sheila. With Jayden’s help, the Bulldogs won their 14th straight game with a 90-58 win.

“Jiggs” is one of 16 cats that were rescued from a condemned home in our area. He is a handsome, shorthair, brown tiger who is not as outgoing as some, but with the love and attention from the PCS volunteers he is developing much more confidence. There is now doubt Jiggs loves to play and entertain himself as the toy basket is emptied and strewn all over the room when he’s out. We think Jiggs will definitely benefit from the company of another cat or two and a family that will give him the time he needs to get adjusted to new surroundings.

HipHarp at The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse!

“HipHarpist” Deborah Henson-Conant (DHC) is returning to one of the best Coffeehouse in the country, ‘Circle of Friends Coffeehouse’ at the Universalist Society Meeting House, 262 Chestnut St. in Franklin, on Saturday, April 25 at 8 p.m.

DHC is a Grammy-Nominated performer, composer and probably the world’s most eclectic harp player. She performs as soloist with symphonies and in her one-women shows and concerts world wide - and has made her home in the Boston area for the past 30 years. She dragged her 6-foot concert harp into a Cambridge jazz club in the early 80’s and started a career that includes a

slew of awards, touring as a soloist with the Boston Pops, and as a band member with guitar legend Steve Vai, her own music special on PBS, and shows throughout the US and Europe.

Along the way, DHC invented the wearable 32-string electric harp she plays, that’s now designed for her by the French CAMAC company, and is the top-selling electric harness harp in the world.

What is her show like? Stories, humor, and music from Blues to Flamenco with sounds you never thought could come from a harp.

LIVING HEALTHY Hopkinton Health Center Changing Lives for the Better If you had met Susan a year ago and saw her today, you would have a hard time believing this was the same person. Eight months ago, Susan started attending Hopkinton Health Center 5 days a week. Susan, who is 62, learned of the program through her sister. Prior to going to the center her days didn’t have structure or enjoyment. According to Susan’s sister Jean Turcotte, Susan has been a happier person since starting at the center. “She is a lot more even keeled, more positive,” Turcotte said. “She is also more animated.” The staff doesn’t push her to participate; she feels safe, confident and comfortable, Turcotte added. Susan joins in regularly and even participated in a talent show recently.

“We love the staff, because they have been very supportive of her needs and our wishes as her family,” Turcotte said. “What they do is really important. They have well-rounded activities, discussions, problem solving groups… she loves every bit of it.”

Mona and Keith have a similar story, and though they have become fairly independent since starting at HHC, they still come back for the activities, the support and the friendships they have made. “The camaraderie is good,” said Mona. There is a “good balance of different things,” said Keith, “It is a great change from being at home. Coming here is a great thing.” The couple also discovered something unique about the center, after a recent medical issue that Mona had. “A really important thing to know is when you come here, they will take you to the hospital or doctor if you need it,” Mona said emphatically.

It was the caring staff at Hopkinton Health Center who noticed the problem right away and personally drove her to the hospital.

They even stayed with her in the emergency room. “I couldn’t have done it by myself,” Mona added.

“The nurse here helped Mona find a new primary care doctor, too,” Keith commented, “They really helped a lot.” The couple

also said that they find the staff is accessible and easy to talk to if you have a problem. “They’ll do everything they can to help to straighten it out,” said Keith.

Adding that he thinks the social worker is excellent and he enjoys the groups they offer and exercise programs.

“We will continue to come here, it’s a wonderful place to go,” said Mona, adding, “They take us different places like bowling, out to restaurants, even the Worcester Art Museum!”

Hopkinton Health Center, located at 25 South St. F, Hopkinton, offers a day program for adults 60 and over that includes social activities, organized groups, outings, meals, assistance in personal hygiene, medication assistance and nursing services. They are open Monday-Friday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and may be covered by some insurance and/or Veteran’s benefits.

If you know someone who could benefit from these services or if you would like more information, contact Janice at (508) 497-2300 or visit their website at www.hopkintonhealthcenter.com.

Lisa Massimiano, Aesthetician, Certified Acne Specialist, Owner Skin Smart Salon Going to a dermatologist and getting prescription drugs is often the first choice for many acne sufferers. Patients are usually given antibiotics and/ or a prescription retinoid to use. When this approach fails, the dermatologist will prescribe a new antibiotic to try.

Unfortunately, prescription drugs often fail to clear acne, and they can have many dangerous side effects.

Antibiotics There is a growing concern that overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics is causing an alarming increase in drug resistant bacteria. Using antibiotics to treat acne is an example of this problem.

While antibiotics may suppress acne flare ups temporarily, they don’t treat the root cause of acne.

When acne sufferers stop the antibiotics, the acne often returns. So they go back on the drug, creating a constant cycle of antibiotic use and increasing the risk of becoming drug resistant.

While there is no reported “dangerous” side effects of prescription topical retinoid, there are problems with using it for acne.

The cream form of Retin-A contains isopropyl myristate, a pore clogging ingredient which makes acne worse. Even if the patient is prescribed an appropriate retinoid, the retinoid often makes their skin so sensitive and irritated that they stop using it before it becomes effective.

Isotretinoin Accutane is often prescribed for acne. This powerful drug is linked with many severe side effects including depression, Crohn’s disease and birth defects.

Treating acne without drugs I have worked with many acne clients and have seen their skin clear successfully without the use of prescription drugs. As Dr. James Fulton, renowned acne expert, pointed out, although acne bacteria is present, it is only a

symptom of the true cause of acne which is retention hyperkeratosis.

That is an inherited tendency of the pores to shed skin cells more quickly than normal pores. So when acne prone individuals use products that keep the pores free from excessive cell buildup, their skin will clear.

Exfoliating serums used in combination with benzoyl peroxide get the job done. Using the correct products is vital, but just as important, is how the products are used. An individual with acne needs to start slowly then gradually increase the strength of the products and frequency of use.

Under this system it takes about three to four months for most people to get clear. The only potential side effect of this modality is some temporary dryness of the skin.

LIVING HEALTHY Doctor, I Have a Stye

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center A stye is a small bump that sometimes appears on the outside or inside of the eyelid. A stye is also referred to as a hordeolum. 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, but also seem to be brought on by stress.

If you have a stye, you may be suffering from watery eyes, pain, tenderness, itching, or redness. Your eye may feel bruised and sensitive to light.

You may also notice a reddish bump on your eyelid. If your stye is severe, you may develop an internal hordeolum. Pus will build up in the center of the stye, causing a yellowish spot that looks similar to a pimple. If the stye is painful, it will feel better once it ruptures and the pus drains.

What causes a stye to happen?

Clogged eyelid glands seem to be one cause of styes. If you suffer from chronic blepharitis, bacteria may often

build up and infect the glands, making you prone to developing styes.

Eye makeup sometimes causes styes.

Some people notice the development of a stye during times of stress. Recent research is implicating the potential role of a parasite called demodex in the development of styes. Demodex, while normally a commensal mite living in the eyelid as a parasite and eating sebum and skin cells of many adults and more rarely in children, can and under certain conditions, proliferate and accumulate in the lid meibomian oil ducts rather than held in check by the immune system. Mechanical blockage occurs as the density of mites increases and bacteria proliferate in this micro environment. Both mites and bacteria turn oil to paste blocking the egress of the meibomian oil and creating blockage and infection.

How To Avoid a Stye?

• Relax. Styes often develop in times of stress. College students cramming for exams often wake up with a stye. During times of stress,

our bodies excrete certain chemicals and hormones that may play a role in developing styes. Because stress is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to reduce or prevent stressful incidents and strive to decrease negative reactions to stress.

• Keep It Clean. Clogged glands that line the eyelid can become infected and possibly develop into a stye. Take time daily to properly clean your face, gently washing your eyelids to remove excess debris. Never fall asleep without removing makeup.

Residue from cosmetics can easily clog the glands of the eyelids.

• Scrub. If you are prone to blepharitis, an inflammation and infection of the eyelid, put yourself on a schedule of weekly or even daily eyelid washes.

Pre-packaged and pre-medicated eyelid wipes are available in stores, making it easy to scrub the eyelids to reduce or eliminate bacteria that cause blepharitis, reducing the chance of developing a stye. Tear-free baby shampoo applied to a warm washcloth is a less-expensive alternative and makes a great eye scrub.

• Warm Compress. Right before bed, apply a warm compress or wash-

cloth soaked in very warm water to your eyes for 5 to 10 minutes.

How to Treat a Stye?

Styes tend to linger longer than most people would like. The following steps might speed up healing time.

• Warm compress: Lightly press a warm washcloth against your eyelid for 10 minutes. Try this up to 4 times a day.

• Massage: Gently massage the affected area.

•Apply eye drops: Medicated eye drops or antibiotic ointments may help with the infection. Your eye doctor will be able to tell which is best in your situation.

• Demodex treatment: In some cases resistant to simple and consistent lid hygiene and other ointments, treating demodex mites may be needed, which consists of applying a cream called ivermectin and tea tree oil wipes.

What are the Complications of Styes?

The longer a stye hangs around, the more likely it is to turn into a chalazion. A chalazion is a blocked oil gland that has become infected. A chalazion usually causes pain and inflammation, as well as a hard lump or

bump on the eyelid. Your eye doctor may suggest lancing the chalazion for draining, and possibly a steroid injection to reduce swelling.

Stye Tips

While you may have a strong urge to squeeze or pop a stye, it’s probably best to allow the stye to drain on its own. Squeezing the stye may cause a severe eye infection.

See your doctor if you have a stye for longer than two weeks and it is resisting your application of warm compresses.

To prevent the possibility of infection, avoid wearing eye makeup or contact lenses until the stye completely heals. Keep your eye lid margins clean.

Styes tend to be common. Our center and ophthalmologists have state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat many eye problems, including styes.

We also have a fully equipped surgical suite in our office to lance the stubborn styes. We are now able to better understand and manage this problem and continue our mission to provide world class eye care for the entire family.

Franklin Sports Franklin Hockey 2014-15 Team Make History Reaching Super 8

By Christopher Tremblay Franklin High School hockey is synonymous with tradition, a tradition that runs deep with success, and through the years, the Panthers have done just about everything that a high school athletic program could possibly do on the ice. Unfortunately Franklin was eliminated from the Division 1A State Ice Hockey Tournament, but in getting there, the 2014-15 squad accomplished something that no other Franklin team has been able to do.

The Panthers concluded the regular season with a 16-2-3 record, including an undefeated 10-0 record to grab the Hockomock League’s Kelley Rex Championship. The success Franklin had on the ice got them recognized by the state coaches and the MIAA selected the Panthers to be a contestant in the Division 1A Super 8 Tournament.

“Never in our wildest dreams did we think that we would be a Super 8 participant,” Franklin Head Coach Chris Spillane said. “This was a proud moment for Franklin hockey.

No other Franklin team had ever accomplished this, a public school going up against all these private schools in this elite tournament.”

As the regular season started winding down, coaches through-

The Panthers’ Hockey team this year was recognized with an invitation to the Division 1A Super 8 Tournament, something no Franklin team had ever accomplished.

out the state nominated their top 25 ice hockey teams and eventually whittled it down to 14. The 14 teams were submitted to the MIAA, where the top 10 were selected and the 7th10th seeds would take part in a play in game to determine the Super 8.

Franklin, the seventh seed, defeated Xaverian 3-2 in overtime to earn their inaugural spot in the Division 1A Tournament.

“As the seventh seed, we knew right from the onset that we’d get a play in game, the Panther Coach said. “We also knew that once we got past that initial game that we

would either get Springfield Cathedral, the number one seed or Malden Catholic, the two seed. Both these teams are pretty much head and shoulders above everyone else, so we knew that we had our work cut out for us in a three game series.”

Franklin held their heads high and lost a close game one battle, but Malden Catholic was too much for them in the second game, and the Panthers were sent packing form the tournament.

“The kids were upset in the locker room at first, but once I explained to them what we had just

accomplished and the magnitude of it, they were ok,” Spillane said.

“The ride home from the Tsongas Arena in Lowell was a very happy ride, despite just losing and getting knocked out of the tournament.”

The blue and white entered the 2014-15 season with 18 returning seniors in addition to another three coming out and making the team.

Prior to the season beginning Spillane and the team’s goals were to win another Hock Title and then make a strong run through the tournament.

Leading the Panthers throughout the season and into the post-season was goaltender Ryan Shae. The senior net minder posted a 1.55 goals against average; stopped 345 of 370 shots for a .932 save % and recorded 4 shutouts; but prior to the season the coaching staff was not sure what they were going to get from Shae.

“Although a three-year varsity athlete, Ryan was our third string goalie his sophomore and junior seasons, and patience paid off this year as we passed the reins to him,” Spillane said. “We were unsure of how he would react, but obviously he was up to the challenge and carried us from start to finish.”

Offensively, the Panthers’ top line of Ryan Spillane (center), Joe Bourque (right wing) and Alec Borkowski (left wing) consisted of Franklin’s top three scorers. Spillane notched 23 goals and 18 assists (41 pts) lead all Franklin goals scorers; Borkowski (13 goals-24 assists for 37 points) was second and Bourque (13 goals-18 assists for 31

points) was third.

In addition to the Panthers’ top line putting the puck in the back of the net, Franklin had six other athletes that topped double digits in points; Alex Campbell (5-16=21), Matt Daly (7-9=16), Nick Downie (9-5=14), Nick Morris (5-7=12), Kyle Filbert (2-9=11) and Mason Saunders (2-8=10).

Flibert, Saunders and Morris in addition to Sean Cole were the defensive stalwarts that the Panthers relied on game in and game out to keep the puck away from its goaltender.

As the 21 seniors depart the Franklin ice for the final time, Spillane is left with only seven juniors returning next winter; leaving the coaching staff with a problem they knew would eventually happen.

“This has been in the works for four years now. As freshmen. we started out with 32, and now we are down to 21,” the coach said. “We knew that next season was going to be a challenge, but at the same time, it was going to be an opportunity, with many kids dying to play high school hockey. We may not have the same athletes, but we are not going to change our philosophy.”

Next winter may be a tough season in terms of putting together a new group of hockey players that will become the latest edition of the Franklin tradition, but as the Panthers motto goes – Franklin Athletes Never Quit and neither will the coaching staff.

Franklin Sports Franklin’s Jeffries Aiming For Major Success In Lacrosse

By Ken Hamwey Emily Jeffries has all the attributes to lead Franklin High’s girls lacrosse team to its fourth consecutive Kelly-Rex Division championship in the Hockomock League and to repeat as Eastern Mass. champions.

The 5-foot-5 senior, who led the Panthers in scoring last year with 57 goals and 19 assists, is a two-time captain and a league and statewide all-star. She’s also earned a partial scholarship to play lacrosse at UMass-Amherst.

Franklin coach Kristen Igoe labels her midfielder as “a smart

player who’s like a coach on the field. Emily is an excellent player in transition, able to run and pass effectively. She’s got good stick skills, she’s athletic, smart, and has a good shot. She plays lacrosse year-round at the club level and was a quality leader for us last year as a junior captain.’’

As her final season as a Panther gets under way, Jeffries has some individual and team goals that are lofty but definitely within reach.

They include winning the KellyRex crown, repeating as Eastern Mass. champs and battling for the state championship.

“Individually, I’d like to win more draws,’’ she emphasized.

“That would give us more possession time. Also, I wouldn’t mind being our leading scorer again but we’ve got other girls who can score.

Winning the division and Eastern Mass. titles are within reach and a state title isn’t unrealistic because we’ve got players with talent and our team chemistry is good. And, our coach always schedules strong opponents during the regular season.’’

Relying on an aggressive style, Jeffries is Franklin’s quarterback in midfield and in transition, especially

Hoop Fever – It’s Catchy!

The basketball season may have ended, but not for the 4th annual Hoop Fever Basketball Camp. This program, for boys and girls ages 8-13, has been well accepted in all our neighboring communities as a great opportunity for learning and enjoying basketball during April School Vacation. This year’s camp will begin Marathon Monday, April 20th, in the late afternoon to allow for watching or attending the event. From Tuesday the 21st to Friday the 24th, the camp meets from 8:30 to 1:30. That includes a break for lunch except on Friday when we have our annual Pizza and Award Party.

The program is designed so that youngsters learn the game,

play it in competitive situations and have a great time. Campers drill every day in the basics of the game; from dribbling to passing, from rebounding to defense, all designed to gain basketball concepts for better play and understanding the game. Games are 3x3 games, allowing all players to be part of every play. Everyone touches the ball and everyone experiences the fun of playing!

The staff are all coaches from the college level to youth programs.

They take their work seriously and try to make all players appreciate and develop a love for the game.

Steve Curley is the director of the Hoop Group, Inc. A former Holliston resident, he

is the Owner/Director of the internationally-known Red Auerbach Basketball School, now in its 55th season, as well as the All Cape Hoop Camps. The Program Director is Don Grimes, former Head Coach at Medway High School and currently a certified board official in two college leagues. Together with their staff, they bring a dynamic enthusiasm that generates to the campers making for a great week of basketball.

Information on all the Hoop Group camps can be obtained either by calling (617) 899-5433 or online at www.superhoopcamps. com. Registration is limited, so sign up today and you can catch the Hoop Fever!

Emily Jeffries hopes to win the Kelly-Rex crown, repeating as Eastern Mass. champs and battling for the state championship.

And she might just get there.

when she’s moving to the ball. “I rely on instincts, always looking to pass,’’ she emphasized. “My speed and my footwork are strengths but I can keep improving on defense and by communicating more.’’

A four-year varsity competitor in lacrosse, Jeffries enjoyed her best outing last year in a match against Natick. “It was a non-league game where I scored six goals,’’ she recalled. “It helped build confidence for the tourney, and it provided a spark.’’

Indeed it did.

Franklin opened tourney play by beating Natick, then Lincoln-Sudbury before capturing the Eastern Mass. crown by downing ConcordCarlisle in double overtime. “That run enabled us to face Longmeadow

in the state semifinals,’’ Jeffries said.

“We lost, but to play in the state tourney was a great thrill.’’

Jeffries, who was a midfielder and center back in field hockey, played for coach Lisa Cropper’s squad for four seasons. She played on three teams that were Kelly-Rex Division champs, was a captain and a Hockomock all-star. “Lacrosse, however, is my favorite sport,’’ Jeffries said. “I’ll be at UMass next year and the coach (Angela MacMahon) said if I keep improving, I should get some playing time as I gain more experience.’’

A National Honor Society student, Jeffries, who plans on majoring in business at UMass, is a big fan of Igoe, a coach she calls “a solid motivator.’’ She’s also inspired by professional athlete Tom Brady, saying “He’s always calm and composed under pressure,’’ she said.

“That’s how I strive to perform in lacrosse.’’

How well Franklin does this season and how it fares in tourney play will be a prime concern for Jeffries, who’ll be wrapping up a superb two-sport career this spring for the Panthers.

“I’ve had a great time in athletics and academics at Franklin,’’ Jeffries noted. “It has prepared me well for the future. In sports, I’ve enjoyed competing and winning but the best part has been working together with teammates. As I finish up this spring, it would be great to win a state championship. It would be the frosting on the cake.’’

A state crown would indeed be sweet for Emily Jeffries.

Franklin Sports These Young Ladies Are Out to Win Hockey Players Head to National Tournament in Wisconsin

By Marjorie Turner Hollman While most of us are thrilled to see longer days, melting snow and spring on its way, some area girls and their families have still been thinking ice and hockey. These girls, members of the Spitfires, an all-girls youth hockey team, practice out of the Foxborough Sports Center in an all girls youth hockey league founded by Vickie Movsessian, win-

like losing, especially in bigger situations, but you’re a team, so if you lose you just work harder. Everyone makes mistakes, but we want to win.”

Cassi agreed, and pointed out that ‘”Losing is learning—but we don’t like to lose! If you win all the time you don’t learn.”

Coach Ronan nodded. “It’s a hard lesson to learn when you hate to lose.”

Marlee struggled with the additional challenge of injury this year, suffering a fractured ankle. She is still recovering, did physical therapy and has had to learn to play with discomfort as she continues to heal.

“There’s still pain,” she acknowledged, “But the hockey skate is rigid so that helps. Sometimes I get frustrated with the pace of recovery from the injury.”

Coach Ronan noted that he coached boys before he took on

coaching his daughter’s team and was warned that he’d need to coach girls differently than boys.

“I haven’t found that to be true,” he said. “I’m just as hard on the girls as I have been on the boys. These

girls are good listeners. Hockey is a game of anticipation, not reaction.

One of the techniques I use is prac-

ner of U.S. Olympic gold in hockey.

They traveled to Green Bay, Wisconsin March 26-30 to compete in the Tier 1 level National Tournament for USA Hockey. The Spitfires are in the U-14 level, that is, girls who were born in 2000 and 2001, mostly 8th and 9th grade students.

Prior to their trip out to Green Bay, we had the chance to sit down with two of the team members, Marlee Paterson and Cassi Ronan, both of Franklin, and their head coach, Cassi’s dad, Ed Ronan. Marlee, who plays forward, is a freshman at Franklin High School and is not only on the Spitfires team, but the Franklin High School Hockey team as well. Cassi is an 8th grader at Remington Middle School and plays defense for the Spitfires. Additional team members include Rachel

erson and Nate Dudley are assistant coaches for the team.

Both Marlee and Cassi were excited about competing in this national tournament, and their coach was clearly proud of what the girls have accomplished simply by qualifying for the national tournament.

Coach Ronan noted that “This team has played some tough games against really good teams, but they’ve been able to improve through the year and surpassed other teams. Everyone wants to be on a winning team. Last year was a growing year for them and they didn’t do that well, but this year they have been able to beat teams that have all-stars on their roster.”

Both girls clearly enjoy competing—and winning—but have learned to be philosophical about losing as well. Marlee said, “I don’t

Franklin Sports Dean Basketball Teams Once Again Reach NJCAA Tourneys by

Christopher Tremblay

There’s something about first year coaches at Dean College. Last winter Grahm Smith took over the women’s basketball program and took the team to a Region XXI Title (their first in 12 years); this season it was Rico Cabria, who was coaching the men’s basketball program for the first year when the Bulldogs grabbed the Region XXI Title.

More impressively was both the men’s and women’s team not only won the title last year, but both programs backed it up this winter grabbing their second straight title.

While the men took out Community College of Rhode Island 88-66 in the championship game, the women were Orange County Community College 65-58. Unfortunately, both teams fell in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Tournament in New York.

Region III Champ Genesee Community College, who was ranked third in the NJCAA, took care of the Bulldogs 96-79 ending the men’s season at 20-3. According to Dean Athletic Director John Jackson, Genesee was a much bigger team and the Dean team found

themselves down by 13 at the half and were never able to recover. Joe Clarke (NY) scored 29 points to lead Dean, while Brandon Marshall (Hartford CT) and Devin Stallings (Waterbury CT) each knocked home 12 points in the loss. Genesee had a balance scoring attack with all five of its starters scoring in double figures. The five accounted for 86 of the team’s 96 total points.

In the women’s game of the District Tournament Dean fell 62-57 to

the number one seed Union County Community College (25-4 and 18th ranked team in the country) in yet another close fought contest. Last year the Bulldogs lost by seven points in the Tournament and this year they took the number one team to the brink and only lost by five.

“It wasn’t that they outplayed us, it was just that we had too many turnovers and missed numerous shots,” Coach Smith said. “Basically we killed ourself and couldn’t

The women Bulldogs shot 34% from the floor against Union County and were a dismal 1-10 from beyond the three point arc. Woburn Mass’ Victoria Nguyen lead all Dean scorers with a game high 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in the loss.

During the regular season, the Dean men were lead by Clarke (19.4 points per game), Ryan Jones (4.6 assists) from Weymouth Mass and Charles Correa (5.3 assists). For the women Bulldogs it was Janaysia (New Jersey) who lead the squad in scoring (16 points) and rebounds (9), while Nguyen, the team’s sophomore point guard averaged 13 points and 8 assists per contest.

With the 8 assists, the Dean sophomore was number one NJCAA in assists and led the nation in steals (5 per game), while also adding 5 rebounds.

While the women once again found themselves one win away from advancing to the National Tournament, they will return a strong group of athletes next winter in hopes of making that goal come true.

“Next year, once again, we will be returning a good nucleus of athletes and go for the three-peat,” Smith said. “Two years in a row, falling short by one game - the girls are ready to move on.”

ticing cross-ice, rather than using the whole rink. It makes everything happen more quickly.”

Coach Ronan is no stranger to tournament competition himself, having played on a Stanley Cup team, the Montreal Canadiens, when they won in 1993.

At press time we don’t know how the team has fared, but regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that these girls will give it their best and will have as much fun along the way as they can. Best to all the Spitfires, their coaches and families who have supported them along the way.

Local Performers Invited to Audition for The Wiz This summer, the Star Players of Massachusetts, Dean College School of the Arts, and Dean College Palladino School of Dance are teaming up to present Tony-award winning Broadway hit The Wiz. Shows will be presented in August at venues in Taunton and Franklin, Massachusetts. Local singers, dancers, and actors are invited to audition for this exciting performance opportunity.

The Wiz, with music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls and book by William F. Brown, premiered in 1974 at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore. It is a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. While the original production of “The Wiz” featured an all African-American cast, this summer’s Star Players/Dean College production will be multicultural.

It’s a Sign of the Times…

As the snow banks continue to melt, the demand for fresh resale listings escalates. Homeowners are now calling their real estate agents to become updated on the amount of equity currently in their property.

The numbers continue to change as the market evolves.

The town of Franklin, Mass. is experiencing a seller’s market, with 3 months of resale inventory remaining for sale. When the absorption rate is less than 5 months, that is referred to as a seller’s market; when the absorption rate is 5 or 6 months, that is a level market; and when the absorption rate is greater than 6 months, that’s a buyer’s market.

Sellers are in a very strong position in the current real estate market. Markets change quickly and frequently. One never knows when or how fast it will happen. We can only work with the current status, and that equates to listing and expecting to receive an offer quickly, if the home is priced properly. Bidding wars are expected and the fewer the contingencies, the more desirable the deal.

Buyer agents are waiting in the wings for the listings to surface, and the buyers would be wise to update their pre-approval letters.

The strongest buyer wins, and the competition is fierce. Homeowners who expect to list soon will be in a strong position. It’s a sign of the times, and it’s certain to change in the future.
