DARE to Dream Ready for the Upcoming Year
Two Contested Races in Norfolk Elections
By Alison Osborne Since 1993, the towns of Wrentham, Plainville, and Norfolk have come together to provide children in Grades 3 to 7 a safe, fun, and positive summer experience that teaches the importance of making good decisions. Originally envisioned as a single-day DARE/health program for students in Grades 5 and 6, the program proved so popular that it expanded to longer sessions, and added weeks for Grades 4 and 7, too. Just last year, the program added a two-day program for Grade 3 students. Wrentham Police Chief James Anderson, who has run the program since its start along with Officers Steve Plympton and James Rockett, says, “Many families over the years have sent all of their children to our program and the program has been so successful that many families plan their summer vacation around our summer dates.” With
a mixture of educational speakers, activities, field trips, and arts and crafts, the DARE to Dream camp reinforces the ideas DARE introduces to students in class. The positive responses from campers has kept the program running and growing. Plympton says, “Each year they want to know what some of the activities that will take place for the upcoming year are. We do change up our schedule from year to
year to make it a positive experience for all that attend.” The staff, comprised of DARE officers, teachers, and peer leaders are passionate about the cause and care a great deal about the campers. The program strives to include activities that offer something for each student.

By Grace Allen Norfolk heads to the polls on May 5 for the annual town election. Residents can cast their ballots from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Freeman Kennedy School on Boardman Street. Voters will have few choices to make, since there are only two contested races. King Philip Regional School Committee vicechairman Peter “Michael” Gee is being challenged by newcomer Patrick Touhey, while Board of Selectmen chairman Scott Bugbee faces a challenge from Recreation Commission member Kevin Doolin. Following are statements from three of the candidates in the two races. Doolin could not be reached for comment. Peter Gee Thank you for the opportunity to once again present myself to the voters of Norfolk as their representative to the King Philip Regional School Committee. I have served
on the board since 2010, when I was appointed by the Board of Selectmen, and have been reelected twice. I am currently Vice Chair and serve on the Budget and Finance, Policy, and collective bargaining subcommittees. I ask for your continued support and your vote on May 5. To briefly describe my background, my wife, Jan Cree, and I have four children—three graduates of King Philip Regional High School and the fourth currently in the KP Middle School. So, I am deeply invested in public education. I also have a strong professional interest in education because of my career in educational publishing. I believe that my experience and perspective have enabled me to make a solid contribution to the committee and capably represent the interests of Norfolk residents in the support of our schools. I have a track record of collaboration with stakehold-

DARE
continued from page 4
Campers can enjoy presentations from Bullying to Birds of Prey, and trips to Water Wizz, PINZ for bowling, or McCoy Stadium for a Pawtucket Red Sox game. Each week ends with a trip to Sweatt Beach where the campers can enjoy swimming, karaoke, volleyball, waffle ball, a sandcastle competition, and a barbeque. The DARE to Dream day camp is not just about fun. Socially, it provides a common experience for kids from three different towns. “They recall a lot of the experiences that they have shared in going through the program,” says Plympton. “I hear that they met their good friends that they have today through our program.” This is especially true for campers transitioning from Grade 6 to Grade 7, when they begin attending school with students from the other two towns. Having established friend-

ships at camp makes that change easier for them. The camp would not be possible without the pride and dedication of the staff. The staff includes teachers and high school peer leaders from all three towns, people who want to be there and want to make a difference. Anderson says, “I think I speak for everyone on our staff that we believe in the program and take pride in what we do which has allowed us to sustain the program over the years.” Most of the peer leaders were once campers themselves. The camp had such a positive effect on them that they decided to return and take on positions of leadership. When someone wishes to become a peer leader they write a letter explaining why they want to work in such a position and the qualities they possess to take on the task and are then interviewed. Plympton says, “We do receive a great number of applicants each year who are very high charac-
ter people and a lot of it depends on timing or if we are in need of counselors in that particular year.” Peer counselors can work from their freshman year to the end of their senior year. Plympton says, “We have always said that we are as good as the people around us. We hope that continues well into the future.” With such a dedicated staff, the DARE to Dream program will continue to impact the lives of local children, equipping them with the skills to make the right choices in a fun-filled environment. Some of them will return to pass those experiences on to other campers, who might one day face the same choices. The deadline for this year’s camp registration is May 30. Parents interested in signing up their child can find the forms on the camp’s website (www.daretodreamsummer.com) or distributed through their local school system.
Norfolk Community Day 5k Run/Walk The annual Norfolk Community Day 5k Run/Walk will be held on June 6, 2015 at 9 a.m, starting and ending at Holmes Field on Myrtle Street in Norfolk. All race proceeds will be donated to Norfolk Advocates for Children (NAC), a partnership of public and private agencies that work together collaboratively to help children who experience physical, sexual and domestic abuse (http://norfolkadvocatesforchildren.com). The course is USTA-certified and the race will be professionally timed by Racewire. The registration fee is $25 for individuals. Children 12 years old and younger can partici-
By Anne Parker It was a fun and busy evening at Lake Pearl Pavilion on March 27 when 530 community members from Wrentham gathered for the Dancing with the Wrentham Stars contest. The fundraising event was a great success. The event saw 6 teams of members from the community paired with dance instructors in order to gain attention and votes for the charities they danced for. Each of the 6 teams raised funds
for various groups in Wrentham to help further their missions for residents. The winner of the Judges Choice award for highest judges’ scores was Adam Moon who danced for Wrentham Elementary Schools Trust, more commonly referred to as WEST. His team received the most votes. “Although I was chosen for the Judges Choice Award, I felt any of the other duos could have won as well,” said Moon. “Considering the stress, anxiety and
excitement we all felt that evening, each of them put together a worthy and outstanding dance routine. I was proud to be a part of this group chosen to

It was a great experience that I will never forget, and I was glad I could help out the community.” Deirdre Foley, President of WEST, said the organization is thrilled to have partnered up again with Dancing with the Wrentham Stars, giving them the opportunity to reach beyond the school community. “Every dollar raised with this event will help to fund the 2016 teacher grant cycles which provides enriching educational programs to Wrentham’s children, helping to keep our school district competitive with our neighboring towns,” she said. “WEST is also grateful to Adam Moon for his enthusiasm and dedication to WPS.”

The winner of the People’s Choice award for most funds raised was Jill Bell from the YMCA, who danced for the Wrentham Senior Center. “I was so thrilled to win the fundraising portion of the competition! My experience was so positive and one I’ll treasure for the rest of my life,” she said. She will be included in the discussions between the Senior Center and the YMCA as they plan how to use the money raised.
According to Janet Angelico, Senior Center director, they plan to create a physical fitness program for senior citizens. They will work with the Y and determine whether it will be at the Y or the Senior Center. Angelico is pleased with Bell’s help raising the funds for the center’s new program. “Jill did a fantastic job. She’s a fantastic dancer. She went all out. We really appreciate all that she did,” she said.

ers in the district and in all three towns to promote budget transparency, community engagement, K-12 partnership, and operational improvement. Looking forward my focus is on four areas. Foremost is student achievement and enlisting the funding and operational support to continually improve our educational services. Second is to maintain progress in improving communication by the district—about our operations, our challenges, and our achievements. Third is looking for ways to improve and extend our collaboration with our member towns and the K-6 districts. And last (but not least) is preserving local control and keeping our committee’s focus on what is best for our students and their needs. With regard to our evolving state standards and the testing of our students, these need to be carefully monitored and evaluated. However, they are only part of the picture. The quality of our teaching, the breadth of our course offerings, opportunities for curricular and extra-curricular enrichment, meeting our special education obligations, and the budget to support it all—these are the issues that are at the forefront for the KP school committee on a continual basis. Patrick Touhey I am a lifelong residence of Massachusetts and for the past 12 years I have been living in Norfolk with my wife and daughter. I am an Information Technology Services Manager for a large computer company. I decided to run for School Committee because I am concerned that we are losing local control of our schools with the recent adoption
Local Town Pages www.norfolkwrenthamnews.com of the Common Core State Standards. I am also deeply troubled by the associated Common Core assessment test known as PARCC and how it will evaluate students, teachers, and school systems alike. I hope to bring a fresh perspective as well as ideas to the school committee about communicating with the public at large. I’d also like to bring the voice of the parents and taxpayers into the school committee meetings. That’s why I am asking for your vote. Scott Bugbee In May of 2012 I was fortunate to be elected to the Board of Selectmen; now three short years later I am asking for your vote once again. I look forward to continuing the work that I and my fellow Board members have started over the last few years. It is not always easy to keep up with what is happening at Town Hall, so I would like to fill you in on some of the things I have accomplished since you voted me into office. The most visible project that we continue to plug away at is the development of the downtown commercial area. Commercial development is vital to increasing the town’s tax base, but it should be done with an eye toward maintaining Norfolk’s small town character. To that end, the Board of Selectmen hired a Town Planner, and we have charged him with taking a sensible approach to the development of our downtown and other commercial districts. Celia’s Coffee House and a Physical Therapy Clinic will soon be opening next to Walgreens, Pondville Medical Associates has already opened on Pine Street, and a gas station, which will include a Subway and a Dunkin Donuts, will be opening shortly on Route 1A.
One of the other main projects I have worked on, along with our Town Administrator and fellow Selectmen, is the development of the Regional Emergency Communication Center, known as the Metacomet RECC. This has been a long term goal of Norfolk’s and will allow for more efficient dispatching of emergency assistance when needed for the four towns involved. I hope that the success of this project will lead to more collaboration between Norfolk and our neighboring towns. These are just a couple of the more high profile projects I have worked on over the past three years, along with the constant challenge of managing the town’s tight budget with ever-decreasing funds from the state. I ask for your vote so that I can continue what I’ve started. I believe that my reelection will allow me to continue to shape Norfolk’s future so that it can continue to be the great community it is

Curtain’s Up on New FSPA Summer Theater Franklin School for the Performing Arts debuts an all-new FSPA Summer Theater program with opportunity for hands-on immersion in a cabaret show, concert musical, behind-the-scenes theater design, straight play or musical theater production. With a focus on performing opportunities, enrollment is open for one to five weeks, with each week running Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. daily. Registration is underway for all programs and placement auditions will be held on Saturday, May 2 at 38 Main Street in downtown Franklin. Auditions are for placement purposes only, as all students are guaranteed a part in whichever week(s) they
are registered. A makeup audition will be held on Monday, May 4 at 6:30 p.m. or by appointment. The Summer Theater’s Cabaret week, from July 20-24, focuses on performance skills and presentation, including repertoire choices, song interpretation and audition technique. The experience concludes with a cabaret style revue at THE BLACK BOX that showcases the solo and small ensemble pieces that have been workshopped during the week. For grades 5-12, Cabaret participants also will have the opportunity to perform during the Franklin Summer Arts Festival. Students in grades 3-12 enrolled in the Concert Musical
week, from July 27-31, will rehearse and present the iconic Schoolhouse Rock! With timeless hits such as “Conjunction Junction,” “I’m Just a Bill” and “Three Is a Magic Number,” the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series taught an entire generation lessons about grammar, science, math, money and American history in a most animated and catchy way. The July 31 performance of Schoolhouse Rock! will be presented at THE BLACK BOX as part of the Franklin Summer Arts Festival. A two-week musical theater program, running August 3-7 and August 10-14 for grades 3-12, will present the Disney mega-hit, High
School Musical. FSPA will stage the record-breaking, chart-topping pop culture phenomenon at THE BLACK BOX at the conclusion of the second week. FSPA Summer Theater Week 5, running from August 17-21, will focus on the rehearsal and preparation of a play. The play, which will be chosen based on enrollment, will feature students in grades 5-12 and will be performed at THE BLACK BOX August 21. A behind-the-scenes exploration of theater design and production will include staging, lighting, costuming, sets, stage managing and sound. Offered to students in grades 7-12, Behind the Scenes runs August 10-14 and 17-21, with enrollment options for one or both weeks. Participants in the first week will be part of the tech crew for High School Musical, while those registered for the second week will tech the play. Placement auditions on May 2 will begin at 2 p.m. for students entering grades 3-5 in September
and continue at 2:30 for students entering grades 6-8 and 3:00 for those entering grades 9-12. Please prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song. Students auditioning for the straight play may choose to prepare a monologue, but that is optional. Cold readings may also be part of the audition. FSPA Summer Theater is only part of a full roster of programming at the school, which also features two ballet intensives, three-day workshops, weeklong camps, and an eight-week session of voice, instrumental and dance classes.

Modern Classic Plays Kick Off May at THE BLACK BOX THE BLACK BOX, downtown Franklin’s new theater, music, and event venue, presents a wide-ranging lineup of dramatic and musical entertainment this May. Events are slated to feature a double bill of modern classic plays, the Ben Whiting Quintet, BLACK BOX Cabaret, and a Local Artist Series inaugural performance. THE BLACK BOX, the home of the Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC), is located at 15 West Central Street. On May 1-3, FPAC presents a riveting duo of one-act plays – The Dumb Waiter, by Nobel Poet Laureate Harold Pinter, and The Zoo Story, by American dramatist Edward Albee. The two-character, single scene plays unfold in real time with unnerving dissonance and minimal staging. Pinter’s darkly comic tale finds two hit men waiting in an abandoned basement for their next assignment. The Zoo Story probes themes of loneliness and isolation through two strangers, troubled outcast, Jerry, and middle-class everyman, Peter. Franklin’s Nick Paone and Charley Eastman
Hopkins’ Big Band and Nonet, Omar Thomas Large Ensemble, Alex Lee-Clark 8tet, Kenny Hadley Big Band, Beantown Swing Orchestra, Eguie Castrillo and his Orchestra, and many more.

Planning a home improvement project? You better book a contractor soon! The buyer’s market in the home improvement industry during the great recession is a thing of the past. As the economy continues to improve and is coupled with a robust real estate market, builders and home improvement contractors are thriving. Remodeling contractors, roofing companies, painting companies, and even handyman companies are as busy as they have ever been, so if you are planning a project, be sure to plan ahead and expect to wait for any qualified company. On top of an already busy construction and home improvement market, the “winter of the century” was a natural disaster unlike any almost any other. Record snowfall in a short amount of time, combined with the perfect storm of weather conditions caused ice dams to form on thousands of homes. This led to pooling water
m
which leaked inside homes and caused myriad damage, including wet insulation, damaged plaster and paint and even floor damage on wood floors, carpet and beyond. There are countless insurance claims being submitted on a daily basis now, and insurance companies and contractors can barely keep up with the demand. Many folks will remember long waiting lists for construction jobs during the late 1990’s and parts of the 2000’s. Back then, you’d be lucky to get a contractor to call you back, let alone to secure a spot in their schedule. Three to six month waiting lists for basic work such as roofing and painting were the norm, and 6 to 12 months to schedule a kitchen or addition were to be expected. Well, it looks like 2015 is shaping up to be one of those years, so if you are planning summer, fall, or even larger spring 2016 projects, it would be wise to book now! Michael Isaac, Vice President of Residential Lending at Needham Bank, says business is booming in terms of loans for people buying new homes or acquiring construction loans. They have a variety of different loan and banking products for anyone considering a move or a home improvement project. Michael says a pre-qualification letter for a loan can usually be provided in less than 48 hours, and sometimes even more quickly. An average closing for a loan is 30 to 45 days (but they can be turned around more quickly in some cases) so make sure you know your budget

and plan this time so when you engage with a contractor, you’ll be ready to go. “We’re extremely busy," says Greg Testa, owner of Hurley-Testa, a contractor based in Medfield. “On top of already being busy due to an improving economy, we’ve seen an uptick in business due to all the ice dams and flooding. Customers should book in advance to save a spot in our schedule.” “We’re very busy with water damage repair and restoration, along with interior and exterior painting and carpentry,” says Dan Laperle, owner and operator of Laperle painting of Medfield. “I started my business in 1992 and this is by far the busiest year we have ever experienced.” Dave Schofield, owner of Schofield insurances in Millis, says the amount of ice dam and water damage claims is unprecedented. Dave has been dealing non-stop with assisting his clients with their claims and helping them understand what is covered with each claim. Regarding Dave’s contractor customers, he says many are now so busy that they are at the point of turning business away because they cannot take on any new clients at this time. The good economy, coupled with the terrible winter, has contributed to an overwhelming demand for contractors. Nancy Werneken, lead designer at Masters Touch Design Build, said, “I’ve never seen it this busy. From major renovations such as whole house remodels and large additions, to roofing and painting and everything in between, everyone is in the market for work on their home. We have a tremendous back log of all kinds of projects. It’s a mixed blessing, as we’re happy to be busy, but we’re also asking our clients to be patient and understand that we have a waiting list, and there’s a reason for that.” The bottom line? Make sure you plan ahead for just about any kind of project, because right now, many companies are experiencing heavy volume and will have a wait time before they can get to your design or contracting project. Get your deposit in soon, because there’s no end in sight! Doug Masters is the owner of Masters Touch, located at 24 Water St., Holliston.

Norfolk Lions Honor Veterans with “Field of Flags” on Town Hill The Norfolk Lions Club is raising money to honor veterans by selling 12” x 18” American flags. The flags will be placed in a grid on Town Hill for viewing from May 17 through May 31. A formal “Salute to the Flags” will be held on Saturday, May 23 at 10 a.m. to honor the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. The Norfolk Lions also encourages residents to visit the “Field of Flags” after the town’s Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 25.
Norfolk residents should have received a package in the mail from the Norfolk Lions requesting support for a “Field of Flags” on Town Hill. Residents of surrounding towns are also welcome to participate in this tribute to veterans. The flags cost $10.00 each and may be dedicated to the memory of or in honor of a veteran. Donor names and dedications will be on display at the Norfolk Public Library. The Norfolk Lions believe 1000 flags on Town Hill will be an inspirational sight, proudly commemorating veterans.
The net proceeds from this “Field of Flags” will be donated to The Fisher House Boston, a nonprofit charity that provides a home away from home for families of veterans who are receiving treatment at the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury. There is no charge for any family to stay at The Fisher House. The Lions ask the community of Norfolk and surrounding towns to buy a flag and rally around this commemorative in support of the men and women who have sacrificed so much. They ask that residents return the remittance envelope received in the mail or send a check with name and dedication to Norfolk Lions Club/Fisher House, PO BOX 608, Norfolk MA 02056. For further information, contact Lion Don Hanssen at 508-520-0225 or Jen Deluca from the Fisher House Boston at 508-728-8781.

Time for Some Financial “Spring Cleaning” We’ve just about arrived at spring, the time when many people spruce up their homes, yards and other parts of their surroundings. This year, why not extend that practice a little further and
give your financial and investment environment a good “spring cleaning”? Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: Reduce duplication. If you’ve

ever worked to “de-clutter” your home, you may have discovered a lot of extraneous items. Did you really need three blenders? Did you have more remote control devices than you did televisions? As you look through your investment portfolio, you might also find some duplication, perhaps in the form of multiple stocks of companies in the same industry. You might want to consider whether you’d be better off by reducing this concentration and using the proceeds to broaden your investment mix to create new potential for growth, income or a combination of both. Repair your “roof.” As part of your exterior spring-cleaning efforts, you might examine your roof to determine if you need to repair or replace any torn or missing shingles. After all, a strong roof is essential to protecting your home. And your financial foundation needs protection, too — so, review your life and disability insurance to ensure they are still adequate to meet your family’s needs. You also might want to consult with a financial professional for ways of dealing with
the potentially devastating costs of an extended nursing home stay or another type of long-term care. Plant some “seeds.” Spring is a good time for re-seeding parts of your lawn that may be bare. Once you’ve planted the seeds, of course, you’ll need to water and fertilize them to encourage growth. As you look over your financial landscape, you may also find areas that are somewhat barren. For example, you might be adequately funding your own retirement goals through your employer-sponsored retirement plan and other investments, but are you putting away enough money for your children’s college education? If not, you might need to “plant some seeds” for potential growth by investing in a college savings account, such as a 529 plan. And you may need to continually “nourish” your plan by contributing money each year. Update your “furnishings.” When you bought and arranged your home’s furnishings, they might have been perfectly suited for your needs. But now, many years later, your situation may be quite different. Perhaps you’ve
said goodbye to grown children who have struck out on their own, so you might want to make new uses for old rooms. And maybe your old “stuff” just isn’t as comfortable as it was before, or the layout of your furniture isn’t as efficient. Whatever the case, it may well be time to update your environment. And the same thing can happen with your financial “house.” To reflect changes in your family situation, employment, economic circumstances, retirement goals and other factors, you will need to periodically review your financial strategy and your investment portfolio, and make adjustments as needed. Tidying up your living space may help improve your overall outlook on life. The same might be said of a financial spring cleaning — and you won’t even need a mop.

Don’t Let These Myths Stop You from Getting Proper Coverage Figuring out if you need disability insurance is pretty easy. If you have a job, you need it. Why then do the majority of American workers lack this basic protection? Common misconceptions are largely to blame. Here I will debunk four of the big myths surrounding this essential insurance coverage. 1. Myth: I’d rely on my savings until I could get back to work. Reality: Most people overestimate the resources they have to cover their expenses if a disabling illness or injury kept them from earning a paycheck. According to a LIFE Foundation survey, half of working Americans say they couldn’t make it a month before financial difficulties would set in, and more than one in four would have problems immediately. Keep in mind that disabling illnesses or injuries often last for months or even year. 2. Myth: I don’t need it – I don’t work in a dangerous profession. Reality: You actually have a three in 10 chance of suffering a disabling illness or injury during your career that would keep you out of work for three months or more. While it’s true that people in professions like farming, law enforcement, and construction face
greater risks, the odd of suffering a long-term disability are high for all workers because illness – not accidents – account for 90 percent of disabilities that keep people out of work. 3. Myth: The government provides assistance when people get disabled. Reality: According to the National Safety Council, 73% of long-term disabilities are a result of an injury or illness that is not work-related and therefore wouldn’t qualify for state-based Workers’ Compensation programs. If you were hoping for Social Security disability benefits, know that about 45 percent of those who apply are initially
denied, and those who are approved receive an average monthly benefit of just $1063, which would leave you with an income barely above the poverty online. Government programs are a good back-up plan, but shouldn’t be your main line of defense. 4. Myth: I have disability coverage at work. Reality: Disability insurance through work is a great benefit, but you need to find out exactly what coverage you have. According to the U. S. Department of Labor, more than 70% of employers don’t offer long-term disability coverage. And short-term or partial coverage wouldn’t be enough to allow you to meet your current and future financial obligations if you were unable to work for an extended period of time.

Dr. David Harrington Joins MetroWest OB/GYN of Framingham and Millis
Dr. David Harrington recently joined the MetroWest OB/GYN practice at 260 Cochituate Rd in Framingham and 969 Main Street in Millis. He practices general obstetrics and gynecology. His special clinical interests include female incontinence, urodynamic testing, related surgical procedures and medical management. Dr. Harrington’s practice spans from the treatment of women before, during and after pregnancy to and through menopause. After receiving his medical degree from Brown University, Dr. Harrington completed his residency at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut. Along with his experience as a physician at Norwood Hospital and as a

eye, decreasing pressure in the eye. Two types of laser eye surgery exist to open up the drainage angle of the eye: Argon laser trabeculoplasty and selective laser trabeculoplasty. Laser use in after cataract surgery The lens capsule is the thin bag that holds the intraocular lens implant in position after cataract surgery. This capsule becomes clouded in about 25% of cataract surgery patients. This causes blurry vision and is also known as secondary cataract. A YAG laser can create a small opening in the center of the capsule, allowing light to enter the eye through a central clear area. The procedure is painless, requires no anesthesia, and has very little risk. Laser use in Laser Vision Correction An excimer laser can be used to correct a variety of refractive errors of the eye, from nearsightedness to farsightedness and astigmatism. This type of laser is extremely precise. It creates tar-
geted removal of tissue to reshape the cornea, which reorients the light in the correct place inside the eye. Laser use in cosmetic eye lid surgery Eye lid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is designed to rejuvenate baggy or droopy eyelids and to restore youthful eyes. The laser provides excellent precision for this procedure. Since the laser seals small blood vessels, there is very little bleeding during surgery. As a result, bruising and swelling are kept to a minimum and recovery is fast. Laser use in Macular Degeneration In selected cases of wet macular degeneration, a photodynamic procedure can be helpful: A laser in combination of a light- sensitive medicine target the abnormal bleeding blood vessels to block them. Laser use in cataract surgery The laser has revolutionized cataract surgery, allowing for a completely blade-free procedure.

Lasers and the Eye By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Lasers can be very useful in treating many eye problems. From helping patients eliminate the need for glasses to cosmetic procedures of the eyelids, lasers have been very valuable in performing bladeless eye surgery while producing precise and safe outcomes. The world of eye surgery was revolutionized when in 1946, a German Ophthalmologist used the first laser to treat the retina. Laser is light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation. This produces photons acting in synchrony, with high power and precision. Health risks from the use of laser pointers Lasers can be very helpful as a bladeless surgical device, but a note of caution: Laser pointers in hand-held, pen-like devices that project a beam of laser light are rapidly replacing the traditional wooden pointers used by lecturers during presentations. However, these pointers can be misused,
for example, by students in classrooms or by children at home, and this has generated safety concerns. There have been reports of temporary blindness, disorientation and headaches by bus drivers, airline pilots, police and teachers. Manufacturers are now using similar low powered laser devices in toys. Never look at a laser pointer and never point it at someone. Serious eye injury (sometimes permanent) can result. Laser use in Diabetes In some cases of diabetic eye disease, small blebs can form on the blood vessels of the retina. These can later cause bleeding and blurry vision. An Argon Laser can be helpful in treating these blebs. The same laser can treat the entire retina in a scatter fashion when more proliferation of abnormal blood vessels is noted. Laser use in Glaucoma The laser can be used in a focused beam of light to treat the drainage angle of the eye. This surgery makes it easier for fluid to flow out of the front part of the
In addition to producing precise cuts needed for surgery, the laser used in bladeless cataract surgery breaks up and softens the cloudy cataract so there is less ultrasound needed to remove the cataract. Less ultrasound delivered inside the eye translates into less energy used in the eye and clearer corneas, which in turn help producing better vision on the first day after the surgery. The same laser is able to treat astigmatism during the cataract procedure, producing a better chance for being glassesfree after the surgery. At Milford Franklin Eye Center, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to treat a variety of eye problems. Dr. Kaldawy is the first to offer bladeless laser cataract surgery in the area and among the first in New England. We are proud to bring this technology locally. Laser eye surgery is now available when you need it and closer to home. For more details, see our ad on page 1

Nothing to Lose...But Pounds When 41 year old Stefanie Youssef walked into New England Fat Loss on October 29, 2014 it was a bittersweet day. She was confronting the reality of her excess pounds and the effect her weight was having on her physical health, but was also excited to take that first step towards a healthier lifestyle. “It was a sad day,” Youssef said. “I didn’t have the motivation, but getting there is the first step, then actually seeing that [body] scan and how unhealthy my body was, was enough motivation for me.” Although now motivated, Youssef was a little skeptical on that first visit as she had unsuccessfully attempted many other weight loss plans. Will it work? How much is too much to invest in losing weight? When she learned more about the program-
and its guarantee, however, there was no turning back. Youssef did not need to take advantage of the guarantee. In her first 40 days, which fell during the holiday season, she shed 31.6 pounds. She was so impressed with the program, she joined for a second 40-day round and lost approximately 20 more pounds! As of April 12, 2015 she has dropped over 80 pounds and has incorporated an exercise program into her new lifestyle. “I just joined karate with my two kids,” Youssef said. “It feels good to be exercising again.” In addition to the guided program and her personal commitment to her health, Youssef credits the New England Fat Loss staff as a significant factor in her success. Their consistent support and encouragement gave her valuable tools to successfully reach her
goals. “Dr. John checks in with you every single day,” Youssef said. “My primary care physician doesn’t even do that. The enthusiasm at the office is also really nice. They genuinely want you to be healthy.” Through the education she received from New England Fat Loss, Youssef is now aware of her personal fat burning and fat storing foods and continues to make beneficial menu choices that will direct her to her goal weight. Youssef’s successful journey could be your story. New England Fat Loss offers two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KP Nine Has One Launches Second Goal — Improve Game by Game “Good to Know” Advertising Campaign #GoodToKnow By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer
Campaign focuses on brand awareness, agent expertise and consumer diversity; $50,000 Sweepstakes announced in conjunction with HGTV and hit TV show Fixer Upper Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, part of the HSF Affiliates LLC family of real estate brokerage franchise networks, and Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Page Realty have launched a new national advertising campaign to increase brand awareness and demonstrate agents’ expertise through the real estate process. The multi-media campaign, produced by BBDO Minneapolis, positions Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices as a brand that’s “Good to know” when selling or buying homes. It features a poignant television spot that captures the emotional gamut of the home-sale process. The spot, titled “Calls,” includes vignettes of home sellers who get the call from their Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents with the news their homes have sold. “You immediately sense clients’ relief, excitement and elation as they receive and share the good news with loved ones,” said Gino Blefari, CEO of HSF Affiliates. “Our message captures the honesty of the selling process and demonstrates the true value of our knowledgeable agents.” The campaign casts a diverse set of home sellers to ensure the commercial reflected real-life experiences and emotions, including a single mother, empty nesters and same-sex partners. “We celebrate the diversity of our clients,” explained Kerry Donovan, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices vice president for Marketing. “Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is in business to help everyone with their real estate goals and dreams.”
The campaign launched¬ March 16 with 30- and 15-second spots airing on HGTV, along with print and digital segments in industry trade publications. As part of the campaign, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices will sponsor HGTV’s popular show Fixer Upper featuring remodeling and design pros Chip and Joanna Gaines, and will launch the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices $50,000 Sweepstakes in conjunction with the show. From March 30 through mid-June, viewers simply register at www.50kFixUp.com for a chance to win $50,000 toward a home improvement or renovation project. The prize will include a design consultation with the Gaineses. “We’d love to see the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices $50,000 Sweepstakes winner come from our market area,” said Paul Rao, Broker-Owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Page Realty in Medway.” “We urge our clients and local residents to log on to www.50kFixUp.com and register.” Finally, the Gaineses will appear in specially produced short videos featuring design and renovation tips to maximize homesale potential. Those tips will appear on HGTV and related digital properties. “We’re excited to be featured on HGTV and work with Chip and Joanna Gaines,” said Donovan. “HGTV is incredibly popular among our key demographics and Chip and Joanna have one of the hottest shows on the network. We anticipate another big step this year for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ brand awareness.”
The 2015 edition of the King Philip baseball team will have to overcome some obstacles if it hopes to qualify for tourney play. Obstacles that include a lack of experience and depth. But, if there’s a squad in the Hockomock League that can overcome long odds, it’s the Warriors. Last year, new coach Patrick Weir guided KP to a 9-11 record, missing out on the tourney by one game. Not bad for a coach who inherited a program that struggled during a season that produced a 1-19 record before his arrival. Weir’s goals and objectives for this season don’t focus on contending for the Kelly-Rex Division title or qualifying for the playoffs. His goals are all about improvement. And, Weir’s forces obviously have improved nicely after a tedious pre-season that was slow to get outdoors. The Warriors won their first two games, downing Sharon and North Attleboro. “We’re a very young team and what I’ve stressed is improving on yesterday,’’ said Weir, a KP graduate who played baseball for the Warriors. “Our goals are to practice harder than the day before and get better from game to game. We lost seven starters from last year’s team and we’ve got only two returnees with experience.’’ Four key losses include centerfielder Mike Murray who hit .404; right fielder Stephen Beattie who hit .350; shortstop Owen Galvin, a .350 hitter; and pitcher Eric Cote, who posted a 5-1 record and had an E.R.A. of 0.97, which was best in the Hockomock League. “Although depth and experience are concerns, we do have some strengths,’’ Weir said. “Two of our starting pitchers return, our defense is steady and we’ve got good overall speed. We’ll have to work on our hitting. Small ball likely will be our style. We’ll try to make contact and see what happens. We’ll be stealing and bunting, too.’’ The Warriors displayed an aggressive small-ball style against
Sharon, winning 5-4 on three hits, then defeating North Attleboro, 4-1. Senior John Harvey and junior Jake Lannigan are KP’s captains and starting pitchers. Harvey won two games last year and had a 1.70 E.R.A. Lannigan also had two wins and his E.R.A. was 1.60. Both are right-handers. “John has good placement on his fastball and his change-up is reliable,’’ Weir said. “He’s a tough kid who can handle pressure. Jake has a good fastball and curve and his control is fine. He’ll also play in the outfield and John will see time as a utility infielder.’’ Two pitchers who’ll start or be used in relief are juniors Jon Rolfe and Jake Cavanagh. “Jon is our starter in right field,’’ Weir noted. “He’s our No. 3 hitter in the lineup and we’ll rely on him for some power and RBIs. He’s got a good curve and fastball. He’s passionate about the game. Jake has a great slider. His accuracy is pin-point and he keeps the ball low. He’ll also be used as a utility infielder.’’ Weir’s infield will include James Cooke at first base, Ryan Guenette at second, John Hurley at shortstop and Will Weir (nephew) at third. “Cooke is steady and solid at first,’’ said Weir, who works as a corrections officer. “He’s big and strong and we’ll rely on him for offense. Guenette is intense,
has great hands and is quick to the ball. He’s a top-notch fielder. Hurley has a strong arm and will make the tough play. He’s a good contact hitter. Will does what it takes to make a play. He’s solid, has a strong arm and finds ways to get on base. He’s a contact hitter with good speed.’’ Senior Jackson Fleming is a take-charge competitor who has experience catching. “Fleming is solid on defense and his arm is strong,’’ Weir said. “He’s like a quarterback on the field, taking charge and able to settle down the pitchers if needed.’’ The outfield will consist of freshman Ben Furfari in left, junior Stephan MacMeans in center and Rolfe in right. Reserves include Nick Staples, Michael McCarthy and Lannigan. “Furfari is a left-handed hitter who has power,’’ said Weir, who was North Attleboro’s jayvee coach before arriving at KP. “He’s got great speed and a good arm. MacMeans will be our leadoff hitter. He’s got a strong arm and his speed enables him to cover a lot of ground. Our reserves are very capable.’’ The 39-year-old Weir rates Oliver Ames as one of the top teams in the league. In KP’s division, he rates Franklin and North Attleboro highly. “Both Franklin and North have quality players returning,’’ Weir said. “Oliver Ames has a great program led by coach Leo Duggan, who’s been there for 40 years.’’ No matter where the Warriors finish or how many games they win, there’s no doubt about the life lessons they’ll learn while playing for Weir, a coach who’s demanding but fair. “It’s important that our players work as a team, learn to deal with adversity and maintain a quality work ethic,’’ Weir emphasized.

Girls Lax Takes Aim at the Hock
By Christopher Tremblay Staff Sports Writer The King Philip girl’s lacrosse team is hoping that 2015 is the year that the Warriors are able to overcome Franklin and capture the Hockomock League. Last spring KP finished second in the league to its neighbor with a 12-6 overall record and although they earned a spot in the Division 1 East Tournament it was a quick stay as the Warriors were sent packing in the first round with a 13-3- loss to Framingham. Having lost some quality lacrosse players to graduation, coach Julie Boudreau still has a strong sophomore and junior class this fall to rely on. “We have an overall wellrounded team and our goal, as it is every year, is to win the Hockomock League,” the KP coach said. “We’ll definitely be fighting for that top spot within a very strong league.” Leading the charge on the field will be senior tri-captains Maria Woodall, the team’s goalie and overall best player; attackers Alyssa DeLuca and Caroline Arnold, both of whom should be able to find the back of the net numerous times a game for the Warriors. Also coming back will be a pair of junior midfielders in Jenn LaCroix, a Hock All Star last season, and Abbey Buchanan. LaCroix was the squad’s second leading scorer last season, while Buchanan is more defensiveminded player. In addition to the juniors, KP will also have a pair of underclassmen who should have a big impact on the offensive side of the ball: sophomore Meghan Wagner and freshman Katie Crowther. Wagner was one of the team’s top scorers last year as a freshman
while Crowther, who plays the lower attack position, should be able to set up a lot of individuals for the Warriors. “Meghan, who has played since a young age on a bunch of club teams, should be a main player for us on the attack and should have a big year for us. As a freshman she was already being recruited by Division 1 colleges,” Boudreau said. “Katie is a very smart player that sees the field like an upperclassman.” Unfortunately at the time of this writing, Wagner was still nursing a knee injury and in order to protect that knee the coach planned on moving the sophomore from midfield to lower attack so she wasn’t running around as much. Defensively, Boudreau will rely heavily on Francesca Tonelli

and Olivia Dort, two quick athletes that have considerable stick work. The one issue that Boudreau foresees is the team’s lack of numbers. “The only thing that could be a problem is our short bench; not having too many subs,” the coach said. “Many of those subs will be freshman so it’s going to be a big learning curve going from eighth grade lacrosse to high school lacrosse.” King Philip should be able to once again advance into the state tournament with its younger players getting the experience they’ll need to take this team into the future, and winning the Hockomock title along the way would be that much sweeter.

Did you know? Damage to a lawn may be indicative of various problems. Everything from insects to rodents to the family pet may be responsible for causing burnt patches, holes and other eyesores. Getting to the bottom of the problem is the first step in remediation. Burning and discoloration of the lawn is often a result of high concentrations of dog urine pooling in one area. Diluting the urine by hosing down areas of the lawn can clear up many problems. Birds, raccoons, skunks, moles, and other rodents may feed on grubs that reside just under the

thatch of the lawn, and animals may tear up lawns in search of this delicacy. Treating the grub problem usually alleviates damage caused by animals. Mole crickets are another common lawn destroyer. These insects resemble crickets, but they burrow beneath the turf to feed on plant roots. The mole crickets can push up channels of turf as they burrow, exposing roots to the elements and causing the grass to die. Getting rid of the insects can revitalize the lawn.

The All Night Party: Going Strong for 25 Years By Grace Allen King Philip High School is throwing a party…an All Night Party. Close to 300 teenagers will descend on the school and celebrate from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on graduation night. Police, EMTs, and dozens of adult chaperones will be there too. The All Night Party is a schooland community-sanctioned event held each year for graduating seniors. This year is the 25th anniversary of the All Night Party, making it one of the longest-running events of its kind in the area. In 1989, Norfolk residents and KP High School parents Maureen Howard and Linda Keene decided there needed to be better communication between the high school and families. Working with thenprincipal Winston Fairfield, the women formed the KP Parent Network.
food, activities, casino games, hypnotists, and much more. Parent volunteers spend many hours creating decorations and planning the night from start to finish. At KP, over 100 volunteers step into the process at some point. Parents are needed each year for fundraising, food, decorating, chaperoning, and clean-up. Norfolk resident Gail O’Hara had children in the KP Middle School when she was recruited by Howard and Keene in the early 1990s to join them in their efforts. Soon, O’Hara found herself involved in every aspect of both

big,’” O’Hara said. The rise of technology has made life easier for the organizers. Pre-cell phones, chaperones had to use walkie-talkies to communicate with each other in the building. A videographer taped the entire night for at least 15 years, according to O’Hara, and each graduate could purchase a copy. Now, students bring their cell phones and capture their own memories. Past and present organizers said the cost of the party has remained consistent from nearly the beginning. Fundraising and grants such as Operation Graduation from the Norfolk District Attorney’s office help keep the cost of the party in check for the graduates. According to organizers, KP’s $50 ticket price remains one of the lowest in the area, and financial assistance is available so no graduate has to miss the last night with classmates.

organizing and running the first All Night Party at KP. Keene, a teacher in the Mansfield school system, noted that Mansfield held an all-night party after their senior banquet. She and Howard decided KP could benefit from a similar event too, and that the Parent Network should run it. According to SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), graduation night is one of the scariest nights of the year for high school staff and parents. The rise of the “All Night Party” coincided with SADD’s national movement to combat drinking and driving by providing a safe, substance-free environment to celebrate with classmates. On graduation night, schools in the area are transformed into exciting venues with entertainment,

the Parent Network and the All Night Party. According to O’Hara, convincing parents to help at first was a battle. The first couple of years, the extent and concept of the All Night Party was lost on parents, she said. “They didn’t understand the amount of planning. You could throw up a few balloons and serve the kids some food, but it’s so much more than that. Every year after the party we got thank you notes from kids and when I ran into parents around town, they said, ‘I had no idea this was so

years on the King Philip and Norfolk school committees, said she is thrilled the tradition she started so many years ago is still continuing. “It was…it is…a safe place to be together with supervision. It is a night to enjoy activities galore, no peer pressure, good food, time to reflect, time to look ahead, and time with friends and classmates.” This year’s All Night Party will be held on Sunday, May 31 until Monday, June 1.

Guest Column
Local and Global Support for Autism Awareness By Will Linde, Editor of the KP Metacomet April is National Autism Awareness Month, and this year Autism Speaks kicked it off with their annual Light It Up Blue campaign on Autism Awareness Day, April 2 in celebration of the organization’s tenth year of research and progress. On the night of the 2nd, buildings and monuments all around the world lit their facades up blue to show global support for a disorder that affects so many. The campaign received a significant amount of media attention and brought more awareness to the cause of autism research. The One World Trade Center, the Sagrada Familia, the Empire State Building, the Great Sphinx, the Pyramids of Giza, the White House, and even the International Space Station all participated in the worldwide event, glowing blue in an astounding and universal display of awareness and encouragement. This year’s Autism Awareness month also celebrates the passage of the ABLE Act in
the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. This act will help financially support individuals with autism and enable them to “Achieve a Better Life Experience.” As an individual with friends and family members on the Autism spectrum, it was inspirational to see the global community take part in a wonderful event for a worthy cause that affects 1 in 68 children in the United States alone. The National Institute of Health defines Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a “range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior.” Autism comes in varying degrees of severity and proves itself a difficult disorder to combat despite years of in-depth analysis by top-notch researchers. Due to the complexities and intricacies of ASD, it takes years of dedication and devotion of friends and family to take care of an individual on

the autism spectrum. Because of the commitment it takes to raise an autistic individual, Autism Awareness month also serves to honor those caretakers and guardians as well. To take an active role in Autism Awareness month, the juniors of the King Philip National Honor Society organized a bowling fundraiser for Autism Speaks on Tuesday, April 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The fundraiser involved students, families, and members of the community bowling at Ficco’s Bowladrome in Franklin, MA in order to raise money for this deserving cause. Sadly, Ficco’s will close its doors at the end of the month after 78 magnificent years in the community. Dozens donated or came to the local landmark to bowl in support of the NHS and Autism Awareness, and the students who organized the event were able to raise a grand total of over $520 to donate to Autism Speaks. The National Honor Society fundraiser illustrates how individuals in a community can partake in Autism Awareness on a more intimate and local level, acting in tandem with the global participation exercised in the Light It Up Blue event on April 2. This kind of involvement, local and international, was undeniably crucial in raising autism awareness in the past ten years, and it will continue to lend itself to fostering another ten years of reaching new achievements!
