TOPSoccer Takes Kids From the Sidelines to the Field

By Grace Allen If you visit the KP Middle School fields on Sunday mornings, you may be surprised by the activity you see. Kids in wheelchairs, kids chasing balls pellmell, kids blowing bubbles…it looks like chaos but it’s actually a very special program in the area. It’s The Outreach Program for Soccer, or TOPSoccer.

TOPSoccer was developed for children with physical and/or mental disabilities, and furthers the goals of US Youth Soccer to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth of children through the sport of soccer at all levels.

In 2011, long-time youth soccer coach and Norfolk resident Lisa Kellett was approached by Massachusetts Youth Soccer to start a local chapter of TOPS. Kellett, then the president of King Philip Soccer Association (KPSA), thought it would be a good program for the district.

“As a tri-town group our reach was broad,” said Kellett.

Kellett’s background included working with special-needs chil-

dren so the program seemed like a perfect fit. “I recognized there wasn’t a lot of extracurriculars for kids that had special needs.

The timing was right,” she said.

Kellett reached out to area Special Education programs and eventually, through word-ofmouth, parents signed up their

Town Clerk Looks Back as Race Heats Up

By Alison Osborne Elections are quickly approaching for Wrentham, and with them will come a new Town Clerk. After twenty years on the job, Carol Mollica retired at the end of January and certainly left big shoes to fill. Her career has been filled with challenges and changes for the town and she has served on numerous committees, including the Town Hall Building committee, responsible for creating the beautiful Town Hall standing now.

Mollica saw technology improve numerous registration systems and says that it was “quite a learning experience at the time.”

Since she began, the “MotorVoter” registration system, the birth registration system, the death registration system, and the dog registration system have all been computerized and have all grown immensely. Originally, processes like the dog registration system were entered and filed by hand on index cards. Better able to process these registrations, the system now registers approximately 1,800 dogs a year.

For Wrentham voters, the punch cards of old were replaced with computerized voting systems and the heavy, wooden voting booths have been updated with the simpler “quad” booths.

As Town Clerk, Mollica successfully overcame the challenges of preparing the yearly budget in order to not only run the office but also fund town elections. She balanced all this while keeping up with changing state mandates.

Most mandates are unfunded, creating a hurdle for the Town Clerk and administrators.

With her well deserved retirement, Mollica hopes to finish some projects around her home and travel. She’s bound to be busy with five, energetic grandchildren. She also hopes to dedicate some time for volunteer work.

Kristi Mollica and Cindy Thompson are the hopeful Town Clerks and both have experience under their belts. Thompson is currently an Administrative Assistant for the Board of Selectmen’s office and Mollica is a

Happy Feat Keeps Dancing

By Grace Allen The 6th annual Happy Feat Fundraiser, a popular night-out for local women, will be held on Saturday, May 2 at Lake Pearl Luciano’s in Wrentham from 7 p.m. to midnight.

According to founder Eileen Stetter, the event has succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. Stetter recently discussed the impetus for the event and shared her thoughts on its future.

When her mother passed away in December of 2009, Stetter found herself reflecting on her mother’s life. “Like most children who have a parent pass, I spent a considerable amount of time thinking about her and our lives together and what aspects of her are me,” said Stetter.

Stetter realized her mother’s generous nature, as well as her love of dancing, were the two

main memories she would cherish. Mary Anne McGowan grew up on a small farm in Ireland. She couldn’t afford to attend the local dances, but would peek into the windows of the dance halls and study the steps of the participants.

Mary Anne would then return to the fields and practice, her head bopping up and down between the crops, according to family members.

“I too love to dance and I like to help other people,” said Stetter. “I pondered how I could turn this into something.” The very next month, in January of 2010, Haiti suffered its devastating earthquake. Stetter said she was horrified at the death and destruction, and decided the time was right to present her concept to a close group of friends.

With their support and encouragement, Stetter moved forward with her idea.

She knew she wanted some type of dancing event, and decided to limit it to women. Women tend

to be the first ones on the dance floor, she reasoned, and the dynamic changes when men are part of an event. “My parents divorced when I was in high school and my mother was in essence a single parent. This would be something she would be comfortable attending,” Stetter said. She decided she would tell women, “Come with friends and just have fun. You don’t need a date.”

That very first year, 43 women showed up for the event, held at the American Legion hall in Wrentham. “It was a blast,” said Stetter.

“I came home that night and had that same euphoric feeling I had when I gave birth.” Stetter knew then she had the makings of a successful annual event.

Last year, the event moved to Lake Pearl Luciano’s and over 200 women attended. That night Happy Feat raised more than $8,000, earmarked for the Women to Women Partnership at St. Mary’s Center for Women and

Children in Dorchester.

Past recipients of Happy Feat also include Fisher House Boston, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the American Red Cross, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Stetter says this year’s charity is New Hope in Attleboro, an organization that works with victims of domestic and sexual violence.

She hopes to raise over $10,000, an amount she knows will have a big impact on the charity. In choosing a charity, Stetter has moved to smaller organizations without the deeper pockets and fundraising abilities of bigger charities.

If you are not a dancer, the event is fun nonetheless said Stetter. “You can come and people watch. You can take part in the raffles, enjoy the food, beverages, and catch up with people you haven’t seen in a while….reconnect after a long winter.” Attendees have ranged in age from 21 to 70.

Friend and co-planner Terry

Ferraris said the night is certainly fun, but more importantly, Happy Feat has raised over $20,000 so far. “I admire Eileen so much,” said Ferraris. “She sees a cause or a need and jumps right in to help.”

Stetter has a deep appreciation for all the women who have helped her organize the event, as well as the businesses that support her efforts by donating prizes. A full list of over 25 prizes and auction items will be available on the event’s Facebook page later this month.

Of course, the women attending Happy Feat are generous too, said Stetter. By participating in the night, they are having fun while helping a charity. She loves watching everyone enjoy themselves during the night, she said.

“The mothers in the families are the doers. They are caring for everybody, they are caring for their own families, they are caring for their parents. They are volunteering in the community, helping with the schools, and working too. Their plates are full. It’s really nice to see them step out of those roles and get back to just having fun with their friends. I would love Happy Feat to keep going and keep growing.”

Tickets will be on sale at the Norfolk Public Library on Tuesday April 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday, April 11 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tickets cost $50. For more information, email happyfeatfun@gmail.com.

been absolutely positive from Lisa down to the volunteers. Lisa really tailors each experience to the child’s ability. The volunteers work hard and treat the kids with such respect,” says Freeley.

Parents are encouraged to sit on the sidelines and just watch their children participate, an opportunity that parents of special needs children seldom get. “They are always tracking or chasing their child around,” said Kellet.

The program has grown exponentially in just a few short years, becoming the second largest

children. Norfolk resident Tracy Freeley heard about TOPS from a friend with a daughter in the program. Freeley’s daughter Olivia then joined.

Olivia, who uses a wheelchair, plays with a big soccer ball in the program, which is easier for her to kick. Her mother says Olivia has gained confidence from the program, and enjoys the cheering from the sidelines when she takes to the field.

TOPSoccer program in the state.

Twenty-six Massachusetts towns host a TOPS program.

According to Kellett, her first TOPS session had 5 players and 12 volunteers. Now the sessions have about 40 players and 70 to 80 volunteers from 8 area towns.

Kellett was named the 2012 Volunteer of the Year by the Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association in recognition of her efforts.

MA Youth Soccer donated some of the initial equipment to get the program off the ground, and We Got Soccer in Foxboro provided more equipment at a reduced cost. Fore Kicks in Norfolk donates field space for indoor sessions during rainy days, as well as meeting rooms for the volunteers.

“They are super generous,” said a grateful Kellett.

The first TOPS volunteers were recruited by Kellett’s daughter Caroline, who reached out to teammates on the KP girls’ soccer

April 1, 2015

team, and eventually the KP boys’ team heard about the volunteer opportunity, too.

The volunteers range in age from 12 to adult, and include students from the KP schools, Blessed Sacrament School in Walpole, Xaverian Brothers High School, and Westwood High School. Adult volunteers help run the program alongside Kellett.

“We never have a shortage of volunteers. Our volunteers have been so loyal. Once they come and see what the program is like, even if they are a little skeptical at first, I don’t even think I can count on one hand how many have come and said ’this isn’t for me,’” said Kellett.

Several college-age volunteers return for the spring session of TOPS. Rachel Palumbo, a freshman at Bentley University, will be back once her finals are over in May. Palumbo, a former KP soccer

player, was one of the first TOPS volunteers, joining during her freshmen year in high school. “I instantly fell in love with the program,” she said.

At first she thought TOPS would be a fun way to spend time with her friends while playing with the children, but instead found it eye-opening. Palumbo said, “This program has given me perspective and has been very grounding for me. It’s taught me not to take things for granted…all the life opportunities I will have that these kids won’t have.”

Palumbo was recruited to play soccer at Bentley University, but after her freshmen season she made the tough decision to leave the team to volunteer in the afternoons for a Waltham after-school program. She credits TOPS with her passion for working with children and community service.

TOPS’ priorities are safety, fun, and soccer. “Soccer is third,” said

Kellett says the one-on-one attention from a volunteer close in age to the player is important, too. “These kids are around adults a lot. One of the reasons the kids love it is because they have a peer helping them.”

Volunteers usually mentor the same child over several sessions.

Palumbo was paired with TOPS participant Emma for two years and says, “Watching her mature and become more confident has been amazing. You really develop a relationship with a child. I was sad when I left for college and told her I wouldn’t be back for awhile.”

Kellet is flexible, however.

“Some kids are paired with three volunteers, depending on the kid.

If you feel it’s not working, I’ll pair you with someone else. Not everybody gets along,” said Kellett.

TOPS is about more than soccer, says Kellett. With participants ranging in age from 4 to 19, the program offers different things for different kids. “We have kids in walkers, in wheelchairs, with vision issues or intellectual disabilities. Some kids just want to run around and kick a ball and talk… it’s more social for them. Other kids want the competition.”

Kellet, who works for the Accept Collaborative at Holliston High School, believes TOPS has had a positive impact on both the participants and the volunteers.

“The biggest ‘ah-ha’ moment for the volunteers is when they realize the participants, even the kids with severe special needs, are just kids. They have feelings, they like jokes, they like attention, they want to have fun. They like the same music. They get it. They are typical kids, just wrapped in a different package.”

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 multiuse 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 community-oriented 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

Style & savings for the whole family

facility in our town center will breathe new life into the downtown 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 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.

Local Girl Scouts Volunteer at Awards Breakfast

By Grace Allen Members of Norfolk Girl Scout Troop 3616 recently volunteered at the 23rd annual Leading Women Awards Breakfast, held at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston on March 11. The troop was invited to help out at the event for the second year in a row.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts honors outstanding women at the Leading Women Awards Breakfast, and over 500 civic and business leaders from Boston attend. The honorees are chosen because they are leaders in their respective fields, having made a significant impact while serving as positive role models for girls and young women.

This year’s honorees were former Attorney General Martha Coakley; Christa Hagearty, president and CEO of Dependable Cleaners; Dr. Denise Hammon, president of Marion Court College; Elaine Steward, vice president and club counsel of the Boston Red Sox; and Janet Wu, anchor/reporter for Channel 7 News.

The Norfolk girls served as greeters, and troop member Eleanor Spellman was chosen to present Martha Coakley to the

audience. Spellman’s speech touched on Coakley’s impressive background and achievements, including her passionate support for the rights of victimized children and teenagers. Spellman also highlighted her own personal experiences as a Girl Scout in Norfolk and the important lessons learned from Girl Scouting. Coakley is a Girl Scout alumna.

According to the members of Girl Scout Troop 3616, their experience at the Awards Breakfast was inspirational. “It was interesting to learn about their jobs,” said member Caitlin Donahue. She found the honorees’ accomplishments something to which she could aspire. “You could achieve what they achieved,” she believes.

Troop leaders Tara Spellman and Megan Donahue said they are proud of the girls, who have been together since kindergarten.

Several are now working towards their Gold Award, the highest award for a Girl Scout.

Troop member Katie McMahon believes the benefits of working on the various awards are numerous. “You learn not only about yourself and your strengths and weaknesses, you also learn about working with the other peo-

ple who come in and out of the project.”

The leaders said the troop members have seamlessly fit their Girl Scout duties into their

lives, along with everything else.

“It’s just something they do every day,” said Spellman. “Our girls are involved with every aspect of high school extracurriculars.

They juggle a lot. But it’s part of their leadership skills that they’ve learned to do it all. They really are role models for others.”

Corinne Palumbo, Caitlin Donahue, Hannah Bruno, Martha Coakley, Eleanor Spellman, Katie McMahon, Lauren Chandler, Maggie Pickard.

Her voice described as “glorious” by The Boston Globe, Hall combines her deep roots in southern gospel and blues with an urban soulfulness and jazz sophistication. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, where she received the prestigious Louis Armstrong Performance Award, Hall has done projects for Atlantic Records, under the direction of Arif Mardin, for the legendary Chaka Kahn, Melissa Manchester and Bette Midler. She has performed with artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Al Jarreau, Jim Ed Brown, Helen Cornelius and Dinah Shore. Hall’s “Room for Two” was named one of Jazz Times top 50 Jazz Records of 2012.

member of the School Committee.

Mollica is the daughter-in-law of Carol Mollica.

For Mollica, Wrentham’s close-knit community is something she deeply appreciates, having grown up in a small-town herself. In her first year, should she be elected, she hopes to earn her Certified Municipal Clerk certification and plans to do so by immersing herself in the movements of the office while also attending numerous conferences.

Mollica says she is able to serve the town of Wrentham in full capacity because she has experiences working in office management and customer service.

She feels it is incredibly necessary that a Town Clerk be able to relate closely to the community, especially one like Wrentham. Her goal is to serve as Town Clerk for many years.

Much like Mollica, Thompson has a deep-rooted passion for her hometown. She has knowledge about the town, its history, and has already formed relationships with department heads and committee members. As such, Thompson already has a background in municipal government operations. In her full capacity, she hopes to streamline and modernize some recordkeeping functions and manage routine tasks in a more timely fashion. She wants to work efficiently for the residents of Wrentham, as much as the responsibilities mandated by Massachusetts General Laws allows.

Both candidates demonstrate a great deal of care for their town and have goals for making the system even better, making it easier to serve the Wrentham community.

Voters will be able to decide on their new Town Clerk, and other municipal positions, on April 6th.

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. Prepackaged 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 lessexpensive alternative and makes a great eye scrub.

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

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, 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.

Braza: Yeah, four or five pounds I think.

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

Braza: Diabetic levels were almost 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.

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 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 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.

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.

LIVING HEALTHY Running… One Step At A Time…

Contributed by Kristi Paradis, Physical Therapist Assistant at Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab, Inc. “I’m a ‘runner’ so I don’t need to strength train, right?”

“Running strengthens my legs!”

“I wouldn’t run through an injury.”

“It’s totally normal to hurt during or after a run.”

“Stretching isn’t that important.”

Are these some of the thoughts that go through your mind? I get it…I’m a runner (and even worse, a triathlete) and I have made these same comments before changing careers and landing in physical therapy.

Running absolutely strengthens your leg muscles, but not the ones that prevent injury. Instead, running strengthens the large muscles in your legs (such as the thigh and calf muscles). Injury prevention requires a strong core which is abdominals, back muscles and hip/buttocks (the glutes) - as well as strong foot muscles. When running, these muscles work hard to keep your body aligned since all

body weight lands on one foot.

Stretching before a run is critical! Proper stretching and use of a foam roller can prevent injuries – tight muscles lead to overuse injuries, overcompensation tendencies and compression of the joints. When stretching, make sure to focus on the quads, hamstrings, IT band, soleus and gastrocnemius. Dynamic stretching is recommended prior to activity and static stretching is recommended after or later in the day. Look for an article on dynamic stretching in the near future!

Important Tips…

• Don’t ignore pain or run if injured. Icing sore areas and/or using an ointment like Biofreeze or Badger balm can decrease local pain and inflammation.

• Cross training can prevent overuse injuries. Anything from swimming, biking, elliptical, or rowing machine will challenge you aerobically while certain muscles rest and recover.

• Finally, a good pair of shoes is imperative to staying injury free. Find a local run shop that can evaluate you in a pair of shoes. In

general running shoes should be lightweight, level in the thickness of the heel cushion to the forefoot cushion, and neutral, or not containing motion control or stability components that may interfere with normal foot motion. Overall, running shoes should be changed every 350 to 450 miles.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

April 1, 2015

Less Certainty but Potential Opportunity for Today’s Investors The world of today is vastly different from the one that existed in, say, 1974. Innovations such as the Internet, smartphones, tablets, Facebook, Twitter and so on have made our lives more enjoyable, efficient and productive in many ways, and have vastly improved our access to the world’s knowledge. Yet, when it comes to one important area of our lives — investing for the future — many of us may actually face more challenges today than we might have in the past.

At least two main factors are responsible for this apparent regression. First, following a quarter century during which U.S. workers’ income rose fairly steadily, “real” wages — that is, wages after inflation is considered — have been flat or declining since about 1974, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Secondly, during this same time period, we’ve seen a large drop in the percentage of private-sector workers covered under a “defined benefit” plan — the traditional pension plan in which retired employees receive a specified monthly benefit, with the amount determined by years of service, earnings history and age.

So, unlike your counterparts in the 1950s and 1960s, you may not be able to count on a rise in

real wages, and you may not have the promise of a regular pension.

What, then, can you do to improve your prospects for eventually achieving a comfortable retirement?

First of all, in the absence of a formal pension, you will need to create your own retirement plan. That means you will need to consider all the opportunities available to you. If your employer offers a 401(k) or similar account, such as a 403(b), contribute as much as you can afford — at the very least, put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. And even if you participate in your employer’s plan, you may also be eligible to open an IRA. If you’re self-employed, you still have options such as a SEP IRA or a “solo 401(k).” While these accounts may differ from each other in terms of eligibility, income restrictions and contribution limits, they both offer the same key benefit: the ability to defer taxes on your earnings for many years, typically until retirement.

As for your next main challenge — the need to compensate for stagnant real wages and the subsequent difficulty of boosting your savings — what can you do?

For one thing, you will need a reasonable percentage of your port-

folio — both inside and outside your IRA, 401(k) and other retirement plans — devoted to growthoriented investments. It’s true that the value of growth vehicles, such as stocks and stock-based instruments, will always fluctuate. But you can help control this risk by owning a mix of investments, including stocks, bonds, Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs) and other securities. Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings, it can’t guarantee profit or always protect against loss.

As far as attaining rising wages and enjoying guaranteed retirement payments, we don’t have the “certainties” that many people had in the 1950s and 1960s. But you can still help brighten your future — through diligence, discipline and the determination to explore the opportunities available to you.

Last-Minute Tax Tips for Procrastinators

It’s April already. Are your taxes done? If your answer to the question is no, you are not alone. The Internal Revenue Service says as many as 25 percent of taxpayers file their returns the final two weeks before the filing deadline. The bad news for procrastinators is that they do not have the few extra days to get the job done as they have in the past with a weekend deadline and Monday Patriot’s Day Holiday.

The traditional tax return filing deadline is April 15 of each year, and April 15, 2015 comes a few days after Patriot’s Day here in Massachusetts so you do not have

extra days to timely file this year.

If you have not completed your taxes yet, here are some stress-relieving ideas: Don’t Procrastinate Anymore - Resist the temptation to put off your taxes until the very last minute. Your return takes time to prepare and your preparer may need to request certain documents from you, which will take additional time.

Don’t Panic If You Can’t Pay - If you can’t immediately pay the taxes you owe, consider some alternatives.

You can apply for an IRS installment agreement, suggesting your own monthly payment amount and due date, and getting a reduced late-payment penalty rate. You also have various options for charging your balance on a credit card. There is no IRS fee for credit card payments, but the processing companies charge a convenience fee. Electronic filers with a balance due can file early and authorize the government’s financial agent to take the money directly from their checking or savings account on the April due date, with no fee.

Request an Extension of Time to File, But Pay on Time - If the

clock runs out, you can get an automatic six-month extension, bringing the filing date to October 15, 2015. The extension itself does not give you more time to pay any taxes due. You will owe interest on any amount not paid by the April deadline, plus a late-payment penalty if you have not paid at least 90 percent of your total tax by that date. Contact your tax professional for a variety of easy ways to apply for an extension.

To get an estimate of what you owe, you generally have to do a dry run of your tax return—which probably means you will have almost everything you need to file anyway. If they’re 90% done, it’s really in your best interest to just get it done and file by April 15th.

Senator Ross Statement on Governor Baker’s FY16 Budget Proposal Boston – Senator Richard J. Ross issued the following statement on Governor Charlie Baker’s budget recommendation for the Fiscal Year 2016: “As a member of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, I applaud Governor Baker’s FY16 budget proposal; a common sense, responsible budget that makes significant increases to local aid without raising taxes or dipping into the state’s Rainy Day Fund.

The proposal, filed on Wednesday, recommends a $34 million increase in unrestricted local aid, $105 million for Chapter 70 school aid, and the restoration of FY15 budget levels for the METCO program. Additionally, Governor Baker filed accompa-

nying legislation that would also double the Earned Income Tax Credit up to 30% of the federal credit over three years, which will go a long way for working families across the Commonwealth.

Given the recent budget deficit and fiscal challenges facing the state, it is crucial that our cities and towns are not negatively impacted and I believe this proposal has the interest of the people at heart. In the Governor’s budget proposal, it is also projected that $87 million in gaming revenues will be utilized to fund unrestricted local aid to cities and towns. With Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville set to open in a matter of months, it is comforting to know that this project will be keeping much needed

revenue that our communities depend on in Massachusetts.

I agree with the Governor that the Commonwealth must not turn its back on our cities and towns.

We must do all we that we can to return crucial funds to the local level and keep our agreement in not short changing municipalities with cuts to local aid and UGGA. This is just the beginning when it comes to the budget process, but I once again praise Governor Baker for his positive and responsible recommendations.”

KP Girls Hockey Makes School History

By Christopher Tremblay The King Philip girls’ ice hockey team recorded the best record in school history by going 17-0-3 during the regular season playing in South Eastern Massachusetts Girls Hockey League (SEMGHL). Under the guidance of head Coach Paul Lyons, the Warriors not only captured the North East Division Championship but was also the only team in the SEMGHL to go undefeated.

Unfortunately, after being named the number one seed in the MIAA Division 2 Tournament, KP fell to Winchester in the first round 4-1.

“Down 3-1 in the second period we had numerous opportunities, but we just couldn’t connect,” Assistant Coach Jack Unger said.

“Winchester came in hot and played an aggressive, fast paced game and we couldn’t find the type of space that we’re used to operating in.”

The successful season on the ice came with a fairly young group of skaters (7 freshmen and 3 eighth graders) suiting up for the Warriors. Having only 12 athletes on last year’s roster, KP applied and was granted by the MIAA the ability to use eighth graders on their varsity team.

Although the entire squad played a very unselfish style of hockey, it was the first line of junior captain Cassie Curtain, freshman Liz Furfari and eighth grader

Katie Holmes that made a lot of the offensive noise for the Warriors. The three girls all ended up in the top 20 of the state in scoring. Left winger Curtain notched 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points), while on the other side Furfari had 11 goals and 25 assists (36 points).

However, it was the new comer, Holmes, who registered 32 goals and 26 assists on the season for 58 total points in her first campaign

with the Warriors.

“Katie definitely has the potential to be a fantastic player. We saw that she was good, but didn’t think she’d be amongst the tops in the state for scoring,” Unger said.

“She passed the puck quite a bit when she could have just taken the shot herself, but that shows she’s not in it for the stats.”

In addition to the phenoms playing on the first line, KP also

rolls out an impressive rotating second line. Kat Jacobson, Sarah Glass, Olivia McCarthy, Talia Quinn and Kyleigh Remmes can all find themselves skating on the second line at any given point of the game and it most likely will not be with the same girls each time they jump over the boards.

Much like the second line, the defensive corps relies on the same philosophy; the KP Coaching staff

moves the pairings around depending on the situation at hand.

Sharing time on the blue line are senior Jamey Olean, junior Molly Alfond, freshmen Katie Crowther and Jessica Daniels, and eighth grader Nicole Connor.

The last line of defense is senior goaltender Molly Potts, who posted a league-leading 7 shutouts on the season with a 0.99 goals against average and a .928 save percentage, en route to posting a 14-1-3 record through the tournament.

Other KP skaters were Deirdre Cannon, Meaghan Gorman, Abby Ray and back-up goalie Nicole Lyons, who went undefeated in her three starts.

Despite the loss in the tournament, KP is looking forward to next season when the majority of the team should be back to make another run in the tournament.

“It was very disappointing to have our first loss of the season come in the tournament and have to go home because of it,” the Assistant Coach said. “I felt for the seniors playing in their last game, it was a tough way to end their season. On the bright side, we’re looking forward to next season where we hope to go deeper into the tournament.”

Former KP Coach Boucher Settling in as Milford’s A.D.

By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer Peter Boucher has been on the job as Milford High School’s athletic director for four months and the 1989 King Philip graduate has settled into his new surroundings nicely.

The 44-year-old Boucher, who competed in track and crosscountry at KP and later coached the Warriors in those sports for 12 years, is a good fit for Milford because of his vast experience in the Hockomock League. Selected as the U.S. national track coach of the year in 1999, Boucher was inducted into the KP Hall of Fame in 2012. During his tenure as a KP coach, his teams won 21 Hockomock titles and seven state championships.

“The position in Milford was the only A.D. job in Massachusetts for a six-week period,’’ said Boucher who left Canton where he was principal of the Lt. Peter M. Hanson Elementary School.

“I got the job over 100 candidates after three thorough interviews.’’

Boucher, who admits his love of athletics is off the charts, was eager to return to a sports setting and he also wanted a position where he could lean on his experience as a K-12 Health and Wellness Director and a former A.D. Before taking the reins as an elementary principal, Boucher was

the Canton Public Schools’ Director of Wellness. Before his job as Wellness Director, he and his family resided in Florida for threeplus years where he worked as an assistant A.D. at Venice Middle/ High School and later as an A.D. at Manatee Community College in Bradenton.

“Canton was a wonderful place to work but I was looking for something closer to our home in Blackstone,’’ Boucher said.

“There were three important factors. I wanted my commute to be about a half hour. I wanted to be within the Hockomock League and I wanted to work for a community that is fanatical about athletics.’’

The new job has fulfilled all three of Boucher’s wishes and he’s

quick to credit his solid foundation in athletics to his days at KP as a student-athlete, phys-ed instructor and coach.

“KP helped me build a great foundation for academics and athletics,’’ he said. “It helped me strive to be No. 1 as a runner, and as a coach, KP helped me to make my squads the best they could be.

KP no doubt taught me to be successful.’’

Now in its third year in the Hockomock League, Boucher is right at home helping the Scarlet Hawks navigate their way in what he calls “the NFL of high school conferences.’’

“I firmly believe that if your team is in the top three of the standings in the Hock, then you’ve got a good chance to win either a Sectional and/or a State championship,’’ Boucher emphasized.

“The league has parity — a parity of excellence. It’s a good partnership for Milford because the town is right along the 495 belt. It’s a league that makes sense for us.’’

Boucher, who is a native of Norfolk, graduated from Bridgewater State, then earned two masters degrees — one in education from Cambridge College and the other in administrative leadership from Framingham State. And, now that he’s in a position he’s always wanted, he sees himself at Milford for the long haul.

“I want to be in this post for 20 years,’’ Boucher noted. “And, our goal at Milford is to win lots of championships. What I like about the community is its pride in athletics and its demand for competitive teams. Fans, students and parents are legitimate spectators and they embrace hard-working teams.’’

Administrators at Milford like Boucher’s style — which he says “borders on fast and nuclear fast.’’

He’s passionate, experienced and devoted to student-athletes.

“I’m a high energy guy,’’ he said. “I don’t go slow and I don’t shift into neutral. I use the running analogy all the time. I want to be the fastest and I want to move forward.’’

Chosen in Florida as Teacher of the Year in Sarasota County in 2006, he also was named Florida’s Wellness Teacher of the Year.

Those honors were well-deserved but Boucher, nevertheless, had the

urge to return home to New England.

“When I was inducted into KP’s Hall of Fame three years ago, I was truly humbled by that,’’ Boucher said. “It was a serious night and a huge thrill. I went in as both an athlete and a coach.’’

When Boucher was named U.S. National Track Coach of the Year, his Warrior teams had amassed three state titles in 12 months. He took KP track and cross-country to another level.

Boucher and his wife Melissa have two children — Wyatt, 9; and Lucas, 7. Residents of Blackstone for almost 10 years, Boucher labels the Milford A.D. post as “athletic heaven.’’

Peter Boucher and Milford High appear to be a perfect partnership.

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.

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.

shore. The male woodcock displays for nearby females by flying from his calling grounds in an upward spiral and then fluttering like a leaf back to earth while making a very distinctive “whirring” call.

Our Town Publishing Home of Local Town Pages Expands To New Location Will Focus on Being Small Business Specialists Our Town Publishing is excited to announce its new location in Gould’s Plaza at 74 Main Street in Medway. The new site will enable Our Town Publishing to open its commercial printing to the public.

“It has been a long time since I had a retail location,” said owner Charles Tashjian.

Tashjian was also the owner of Photosite, a photo lab in Millis in the Roche Bros. plaza. “I have always had a great relationship with my customers but when I saw that digital printing was going to be the end of photo labs, I had already begun transitioning to offset printing and publishing by adding Our Town Publishing,” he observed.

Tashjian added digital printing and graphic design, and has been helping his clients by creating everything from business cards, envelopes and brochures, to helping schools with program guides, yearbooks, and sports programs.

Our Town Publishing was located at 163 Main Street in Medway at the Stone Mill for 8 years. “We always helped anyone who came in, but we were not set up to help the everyday retail client,” Tashjian said. The new location at 74 Main Street has plenty of parking and a central entrance that makes it easy to just walk right in. Our Town Publishing is next to Yama Fuji Restaurant.

Our Town Publishing is also the home of Local Town Pages, its newspaper division. In 2010, Tashjian launched his first newspaper, Medway/Millis, an every door direct mailed monthly newspaper. “I had no idea how popular a local paper would be,” said Tashjian. “I wanted to bring back what I thought a local paper should be—a town-oriented paper that would give the local organizations a chance to be heard.

In other papers you would be lucky to read one or two articles about your town.” After the initial launch of the Medway/Millis paper, Tashjian started a Norwood paper and by the end of the year, a Franklin edition.

“I must admit launching three papers in under a year was a lot to take on,” said Tashjian. Since then, he has added

home MARKETPLACE It’s A Sign of The Times...

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.

William Raveis/Delta Realtors 503 Main Street I Medfield I MA 02052

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.

Our Ad & Editorial Deadline is the 15th of each month, for the following month’s issue.
