Franklin, Bellingham & Wrentham Relay at KP This Year, June 12-13
Remembrances and Awareness at Walk of Tears By Grace Allen On a bright, clear Sunday morning in early May, over 100 King Philip and Franklin High School students took part in the annual SADD Walk of Tears. Held in memory of Maura Howard, a graduate of KP High School, and Amy Callaghan, a graduate of Franklin High School, both victims of drunk driving, the Walk raised over $2,000 for SADD programs and scholarships at the two high schools. On July 31, 1994, Maura Howard of Norfolk was killed when the car she was riding in was struck from behind by a drunk driver. The oldest of nine children, Maura’s death devastated her family and the community. A family friend, then a wellness teacher at Franklin High School, suggested the Howards channel their grief into constructive action and help organize a Walk of Tears in memory of Maura and to

The SADD Walk of Tears rotates between KP High School and Franklin High School to remember two young graduates of the respective schools, Maura Howard and Amy Callaghan, who were lost 21 years ago to drunk driving. The message to young and old: Don’t Drink and Drive.
raise awareness of the dangers of drunk driving. Combining the SADD chapters at both KP and Franklin high schools, the walk would bring together the two athletic rivals for a good cause.
The first Walk of Tears was held in the spring of 1995. The next year, Franklin High graduate Amy Callaghan was killed in a crash with a drunk driver.

The Relay For Life of Franklin, Bellingham and Wrentham will take place on Friday, June 12th this year, and it is happening at the King Philip Regional High School, at 201 Franklin Street in Wrentham. The event, in which relay teams keep members walking all night to point out “cancer never sleeps,” raises money for the American Cancer Society. It will begin at 6 p.m., and the night will include additional opportunities for the public to donate. According to American Cancer Society’s Event Coordinator Mike O’Brien, as of mid-May, 386 members of 53 teams had signed up for this region’s relay, and the total raised at that time was over $22,000. “We raised $107,000 last year, even though it rained throughout
most of the event,” says Christine Walsh, who has participated for four years and is once again one of the organizers, along with Bridget Rymanowski. Walsh’s mother and family friends have been touched by cancer, but she points out, “it’s not a death sentence, anymore.” Teams camp out at the track, bringing their own food. Each year, several traditional ceremonies take place at the Relay for Life. The event will begin at 6 p.m. with an opening ceremony, followed by a Survivor lap at 6:45, which will lead into a Survivor Reception at 7 p.m. Another feature of the night will be the luminaria lap. “That’s at 9 p.m. on Friday night,” says Walsh. “Bags line the track dedicated to survivors,

The walk would now remember both Maura and Amy. SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) was originally founded as Students Against Driving Drunk in 1981. SADD has now become the voice of substance abuse prevention in thousands of schools throughout the U.S. At King Philip, the SADD chapter has between 60 and 70 members. KP High School senior Drew Dunne, the club’s president, believes the Walk of Tears serves to raise awareness of the consequences of destructive decisions. Said Dunne, “Hopefully we can reach some students.” In the past, the group’s activities have included staging a mock car crash with local emergency personnel, a graphic and shocking reminder to students of the dangers of drunk driving. Paul Kelley, a junior at KP and this year’s SADD vice-president, says SADD tries to teach teenagers that resisting peer pressure in the moment will benefit them in the long run.
“We try to let others know that you are accepted for doing the right thing,” said Kelley. Wrentham Police Chief James Anderson believes “SADD promotes a better quality of life in the community.” He said the group uses peer to peer monitoring to empower young people to make positive decisions in their lives. “I can tell you the students are dedicated and motivated to spread the message while not being judgmental towards others,” said Chief Anderson. In a 2014 survey, the National Institute on Drug Abuse found rates of cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and prescription and synthetic drug abuse by children and teens had actually declined. Groups like DARE and SADD hope young people are getting the message, but know their work is never finished. “The goal is to hopefully save lives by reminding kids to make the right decision, and I’d like to believe that we have accomplished this a few times,” said Dunne. Both Kelley and Dunne said they were pleased at the number of people at this year’s Walk of Tears. Although 100 people officially registered for the event,
many more came out in support. This year the sports teams at KP showed up in force, which pleased the organizers. “As a DARE counselor I always believed in the values that are presented by these groups,” said Dunne. “I think SADD has had an impact on a lot of people at KP.” The Howard family spoke briefly at the start of this year’s walk. They are grateful the Walk of Tears has continued for the past 20 years and remain committed to raising awareness about the hazards of driving drunk. Both Tom and Maureen Howard, Maura’s parents, are members of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and Tom Howard has been asked to serve on the board for MADD’s northeast region. Maureen Howard has a bumper sticker on her car that reads, “I’m MADD Because a Drunk Driver Killed My Daughter.” The SADD Walk of Tears rotates between KP High School and Franklin High School each year. The advisors may change and new student leaders emerge, but the message remains the same. “We hope that those who walk remember to never drink and drive,” said Maureen Howard.

Backed by the eight-piece band of worldclass musicians, Electric Youth delivers a fun, high-energy evening of family entertainment with an extensive range of contemporary pop, classic rock, Broadway and country hits for audiences all ages.

Electric Youth first debuted in England and France in 2013 and this season’s itinerary marks a return to those
countries after last summer’s tour of Austria and Italy. Selected annually by audition, the group is chosen for superior musicianship, stage presence, and triple threat accomplishments in voice, dance, and acting. This season’s ensemble of performers, ages 15-17, studies multiple dance disciplines, voice, and acting at FSPA. Electric Youth 2015 includes Madison Asgeirsson, Adriane D’Amato, Kendra Dombroski, Jocelyn Jones, Shaina McGillis, Lauren Szczepanowski and Melissa Wyner of Franklin; Michael Fajardo of Hopkinton; Sam Evans of Medfield; Maddy Williams of Medway; Katie Gray of Milford; Kylee Rollins of North Attleboro; and Jenna McDermott, of Wrentham. The EY singer-dancers are backed by Boston musicians who’ve performed, recorded and toured with such music legends as Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, B.B.

Blaire House of Milford Holds Legislative Breakfast The Blaire House of Milford, hosted their Annual Legislative Breakfast on Monday, May fourth, at 8:30 a.m. at Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living Residence, One Railroad Street. Milford, Mass. The topic of discussion was the many challenges of Long Term Health Care in Massachusetts. Every year, skilled nursing facilities provide quality care and rehabilitation to over 100,000 frail elders and disabled individuals. Nearly 70% or 30,000 individuals rely on Mass Health, the state Medicaid program, to pay for their care. Medicaid has chronically underfunded the cost of quality nursing home care by $37 per patient, per day. This has resulted in a crisis in public funding making Massachusetts the fourth worst in the nation. President, Ned Morse of Mass Senior Care, stated, “The Problem in Long term Care is the appropriate funding. Health Care is dependent on state and federal funds and the cost of that care

Tri-County RVTHS Valedictorian Receives $80,000 Scholarship to WPI Tri-County RVTHS senior Laura Auerbach, of Franklin, has been awarded the $80,000 Worcester Polytechnic Institute FRC New England District Championship Scholarship.

Laura, a student in Tri-County’s Engineering Technology Program, achieved a weighted GPA of 4.54 and is the Valedictorian of the Class of 2015. With an academic schedule that included Advanced Placement Calculus, Language and Composition, and Physics, Auerbach still found the time to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. During her four years at Tri-County, Laura participated in Junior Varsity Bas-
ketball, Varsity Track, Math Team, First Robotics, NASA’s HUNCH Program, SkillsUSA and National Honor Society. In addition to an already lengthy roster of extracurricular activities, Laura took on a number of leadership roles. She was captain of the Varsity Soccer team for two years and was one of two students selected to represent TriCounty as part of the Congressional Youth Cabinet for the 4th Congressional District formed by U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III in 2013. In December, Laura was selected as the 2015 recipient of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents (MASS) Certificate of Academic Excellence. The certificate is awarded each year to a student of excellent academic standing who has made significant contributions to the TriCounty community.

FPAC Presents Original New Musical, Zero Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) presents an original new musical, Zero, on June 12-14. Performances will be staged Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 and Sunday at 2 p.m. at THE BLACK BOX, FPAC’s theater, music, and event venue in downtown Franklin. Zero is an energetic and experimental show that incorporates music and dance to tell the simple story of a fool’s journey through life. Notably, the tale will not be presented as a normal narrative. Rather, the fable will be told through 21 distinct scenes, each inspired by the symbolism of a card from the major arcana of a tarot deck. The show will evolve throughout the rehearsal process, but the audience can expect to see magic, video projections, puppetry, innovative choreography, stunning visual
effects and evocative music inspired by cultures from around the world. The musical’s hero, Zero, will encounter joy and loss, fear and wonderment, and will take audiences along for the ride. Franklin’s Nick Paone is the creative force behind FPAC”s newest musical and both directs and appears in the production as well. A prolific FPAC performer and director, the versatile Paone has been featured this season as Captain Hook, Scrooge, and Harold Hill in Peter Pan, Humbug! and The Music Man, respectively. Humbug!, Paone’s contemporary musical adaptation of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, has become a cherished part of many FPAC holiday seasons. Nick is the founder of FPAC’s annual summer Whatever Theater Festival and directs the festival’s One Acts and presen-
tations of Shakespeare on the Common. In addition to Paone, area performers featured in Zero include Jason Barney, Lily Barney, Julia Buccella, Brooke Collins, Aaron Frongillo, Ali Funkhouser, Kelly Irwin, Jocelyn Jones, Sydney Leach, Catherine LeClair, Lindsey Sparages, Hallie Wetzell, Lindsey Wyner, Melissa Wyner, and Peter Wyner of Franklin; Colie Vancura of Medfield; Alan Mercer of Medway; and Griffin Wilkins of Walpole. Musical direction is by Hallie Wetzell, THE BLACK BOX, the home of the Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC), is located at 15 West Central Street. Tickets are $26.

people fighting cancer, and those lost to cancer. It’s one silent lap to remember everyone we’ve lost.” The night features a number of fun laps as well, and the theme this year is movies. “Teams have asked me and designated a movie for their team – we have Despicable Me, Frozen, Grease, and so we’ll have a lap where we celebrate their movie theme. We also have laps for American Pride lap, Holidays, Decades, Superheroes,” she says, as well as a “Miss Relay,” lap in which boys dress in drag. The night includes a DJ, and other entertainment coming this year includes a 7 a.m. Zumba class and possibly America’s Best Defense and yoga, says Walsh. “I also have a dance company coming – Feet in Motion,” she says. Mix 104.1 will also be present, with an ice cream truck. “We’ll be having the survivor reception inside KP this year,” says Walsh. “They’re letting us use
their field house.” Walsh says that several local businesses donate for this reception. “In the past, we’ve had the Commonwealth Barbecue in Wrentham, Café Asisi, and the Rome Restaurant in Franklin,” she says. This year, Walsh says, registration for the Relay for Life is completely free. “You don’t have to sign up for a team,” she says, but it was more of a hassle for American Cancer Society to keep track of it. They think we’ll get a greater amount of people in.” Teams, she says, also fundraise at their campsites, and walkers get lap beads for each lap they take. The event is open to the public all night, but those under 18 need to have a chaperone after 11 p.m. King Philip, says O’Brien, “have been absolute fantastic hosts as far as helping us promote event and getting kids involved and logistically has worked well with us.” He points out that the school actually sought him out to hold the event. “It’s been amazing – KP has
been great,” says Walsh, “they’ve gotten anything we needed, and their principal encouraged each of the student groups to have a Relay team.” Each participant that raises $100 gets a t-shirt, and there are plenty of campsites available, so teams don’t have to pick campsites in advance. Teams and sponsors are still being sought, and anyone interested in contributing either a cash or in-kind donation can contact him at mike.obrien@cancer.org. You can find Relay for Life Franklin, Bellingham and Wrentham on Facebook, listed as Relayforlife Franklin Bellinghamwrentham, or visit www.relayforlife.org/ franklinma to donate or for more information. For additional support of the Franklin, Bellingham, Wrentham Relay for Life, head on down to Making Whoopie, 1 Crossing Plaza, in Franklin on the first Wednesday of June and 20% of all whoopee pie sales will go to this local Relay.

Cruising To a Successful Weight Loss New England Fat Loss Client Clocks Many Miles to Achieve His Goal East Wareham resident Jeff Monast admits he was initially hesitant to commit to the one hour drive to join New England Weight Loss (NEFL). Once he met Dr. John and the NEFL staff and learned about the program, however, the commute was a minimal factor to achieve his weight loss goals. “When I first heard it was so far away, I thought, that really stinks, but after my experience, it is well worth the drive,” Monast said. According to forty-two year old Monast, the stimulus to walk through that door on April 15 far outweighed inconvenience. He was experiencing lack of energy and was intrigued with their 20 to 40 pounds lost in 40 days guarantee. “I don’t know what clicked in my head, but I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough,” Monast said. “I’ve been fighting my weight since I’ve been 10 years
old, and I honestly did not think it would be this easy to lose the weight. While being interviewed on day 23 of his first stage, Monast had dropped 34.9 pounds, already within reach of that first significant goal. The food combinations, daily weight reports and office visits guided the way, but Monast also found Dr. John’s assistance invaluable. “I knew I would have no time to prepare meals during one weekend and we went back and forth with ideas,” Monast said. He is very accessible.” Monast is thrilled with his success of the Phase 1 portion of the program, but is motivated to enter the next stage. Through an extensive diagnostic process, the NEFL team will identify specific foods to work with his individual body chemistry and trigger additional weight loss.
Hockomock Camp a Great Summer Option YMCA Camp provides exciting and educational summer camp options for school-age children, teens, and options for children with special needs. Collectively the nation’s largest providers of camping programs, YMCAs have operated summer camps for more than 100 years. Each year, YMCAs operate more than 2,000 community and regional YMCA day camps that serve 600,000 individual campers each summer, which includes about 120 specialty camps for kids with disabilities. An additional 1.5 million individuals participate in camp programs throughout the balance of the year in family camps, weekend retreats, and school camping. The Hockomock Area YMCA is an organization committed to serving all persons regardless of their ability to pay. Our Reach out for Youth and Families campaign makes it possible for everyone to participate in all of our programs, services, and events. Parents who want to send their children to camp, but who are in situations that make that seemingly impossible because of finances, should submit a confidential scholarship application as soon as possible. Scholarship applications are available at hockymca.org or at any of our member service desks. Please visit www.hockymca.org or call the Franklin branch at (508) 528-8708 to learn more.
“Once I get through the 40 days, they give me a list of my personal weight-burning foods that are good for my body make up,” Monast said. “I’m pretty excited to see what they are.” From the beginning, nothing has come in the way of Monast reaching his weight loss goals.
Not miles, time or commitment. His true drive, however, comes from his family. “This is a lifestyle change, not a diet, and my number one reason is because I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children that I want to be around a long time for,” Monast said.

Partnership Encourages Residents to Shop Local During Construction The Franklin Downtown Partnership wants to remind everyone to shop locally during the downtown Franklin roadway and streetscape improvement project. The Partnership is working with the Town of Franklin to communicate construction updates in an effort to help residents get around downtown more easily. The FDP is also collaborating with local groups like the Small Shop Co-Op, the #ShopFranklin - Supporting Small Business Facebook group, and WMRC First Class Radio to help encourage residents to shop locally. “If you have a favorite busi-
ness or restaurant, please make that extra effort to visit them frequently. Traffic issues, like the harsh winter, can affect a business’s bottom line. It’s important that we all be patient with the process and help these businesses thrive,” says Partnership President Nicole Fortier. When the streetscape construction is finished, residents will see two-way traffic, improvements designed to slow traffic and increase pedestrian safety, and aesthetic improvements like plantings, greenspace and new lighting. The FDP will help communicate the Town of Franklin’s con-
struction updates about parking, alternate routes and road closures on its website, franklindowntownpartnership.org, and on its Twitter feed and Facebook page. “The Partnership is also collaborating with local groups to help encourage people to shop locally. There are several great promotions and ‘shop local’ efforts happening in Franklin this spring, and we will help get the word out about them. Businesses are working very hard to earn and keep your business,” says Lisa Piana, the Downtown Partnership’s executive director. One example of that collaboration is the Small Shop Co-Op, created by The Cake Bar co-owners Tracie Turinese and Angie McMillan. The co-op is launching the Lady Bug Trek scavenger hunt later this month. Using a smartphone app, shoppers will visit participating local businesses and compete to win prizes. “We are all working toward making this construction process go as smoothly as possible for our businesses and residents. The Streetscape project is a key component to the revitalization of downtown Franklin, which the Downtown Partnership has been working toward since 2001. Ultimately a strong downtown is

Downtown Project Update #2 From Town Administrator’s Office April 21, 2015 Contractor started saw cutting the pavement from West Central at Emmons Street to East Central Street for installation of drainage structures. They expect to start with the drainage structures along West and East Central Streets, and then jump back up to Main Street at School Street then work down Main to Emmons Street, then Emmons Street back to West Central. In the next couple of weeks, they expect to have another crew on the project starting with the roadway reconstruction at the Church and work down Main Street to Emmons Street. The light pole crew is also expected in the next couple of weeks. MASSDOT indicated that they would have the contractor repair any tree protection fencing that was damaged over the winter.

The Franklin Downtown Partnership is a nonprofit, 501©3 organization made up of business owners, community leaders and residents working together to stimulate economic development downtown and create a positive impact throughout the area. The FDP runs the annual Strawberry Stroll, Harvest Festival and
Holiday Stroll, and is involved in economic development, beautification, streetscape and greenspace design, and networking initiatives. The FDP currently has over 200 members and welcomes all businesses and residents.

Kids’ Club Helps Children Who Are Grieving
Ceasar, Enslaved with Susan Elliot, Thursday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Susan Elliott, an avid student of history and volunteer at the Franklin Historical Museum, recently came across a bill of sale for a resident of the Westerly Precinct of Wrentham (later Franklin) by Franklin’s future first town clerk, Asa Pond. She was shocked to make the discovery and soon found that not only was African American slavery common in the North, it was especially popular among ministers, doctors and lawyers. Susan tells true stories of our local history that you may never hear or read of elsewhere.
On Saturday, June 13, 2015 from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., Community VNA Hospice and Palliative Care, 10 Emory Street, Attleboro MA is hosting a children’s grief program. Kids’ Club is designed to help children ages 5 - 13 to deal with loss. In a supportive and understanding atmosphere, experienced grief specialists guide the children to explore and express their feelings through crafts and sharing.

Dallas Cowboys Sign Dean College Alum Rodney “Lucky” Whitehead Dean College graduate Rodney “Lucky” Whitehead has been signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, following the recently concluded National Football League Draft. Lucky is a 2013 graduate of Dean College and a 2015 graduate of Florida Atlantic University. He is a native of Manassas, VA and an Osbourn High School alumnus. During his time at Dean College, he earned first team AllAmerican honors as well as first team All-Conference recognition at both wide receiver and return specialist. Lucky was recognized as the team’s special team player of the year as a senior. “This is a tremendous accomplishment for Lucky,” said Todd Vasey, associate athletic director and head football coach at Dean College “It is really exciting to see all of his hard work, dedication, and perseverance payoff for him. Somehow I have a feeling the best is still yet to come.” Lucky is the second Dean alumnus within the last year connected with the NFL, as D.J. Morrell, 2011 graduate and offensive lineman, was signed by the Detroit Lions, and later moved on to the Buffalo Bills. “The Dallas Cowboys are fortunate to be getting such a tal-

Franklin Strawberry Stroll Will Be Thursday, June 11 The Franklin Downtown Partnership will serve up sweet, juicy, whipped cream-topped strawberry shortcakes at the 13th annual Franklin Strawberry Stroll on Thursday, June 11. The event will happen throughout downtown Franklin from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., rain or shine. “The Strawberry Stroll was the first event the Downtown Partnership organized to bring the community together in the heart of downtown. In the past 13 years the event has grown but our mission has stayed the same – to give people a fun way to meet up with
friends, discover new downtown businesses and create more engagement,” says Nicole Fortier, event chairperson. “Especially this year we want to remind everyone to visit, shop and dine out downtown because of the road construction project. We won’t let a little roadwork get in the way of a good party,” she added. Volunteers will slice up more than 160 quarts of ripe strawberries to top nearly 700 shortcakes. Dozens of cases of whipped cream will top off the Stroll’s signature desserts, which will be
served up outside Dean Bank on Main Street. More than 25 local businesses have strawberry or spring-themed specials, food items, giveaways, face painting and kids’ activities planned for the afternoon. For example, the Historical Museum invites visitors to browse the Horace Mann exhibit while enjoying punch and cookies. A complete list of happenings will be available at the Stroll and on the FDP website, franklindowntownpartnership.org, and its Facebook page. Along with sweet treats and
activities, the Stroll promises great local entertainment. Music Odyssey Productions DJ Domenic Cotoia will entertain crowds browsing the booths in the Main Street parking lot. Jane’s Frames is sponsoring Jamie Barrett with his guitar, and a talented lineup of Franklin High School musicians will perform at The Cake Bar. Kevin Wolfe is set to perform at Pisini Shoes. Generous sponsors make the Strawberry Stroll possible. The Platinum Sponsor for his event is Dean Bank. Gold Sponsors are Dean College and SolarFlair,
and the Silver Sponsor is DCU. Bronze Sponsors include Chestnut Dental Associates, Franklin Ford, Franklin Health & Rehabilitation Center, Keefe Insurance Agency, Middlesex Savings Bank and The Estate at Franklin. Friends of the Festival Sponsors are Garelick Farms, Jane’s Frames, Leaf Filter Gutter Protection, Nexamp and Simon’s Furniture. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for this popular event. If interested, contact FDP Executive Director Lisa Piana at downtown.franklin@yahoo.com.
Dean College and the Kraft Sports Group Partner to Create The Center for Business, Entertainment and Sport Management The Kraft Sports Group, the holding company for the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, announced today they have finalized an exclusive academic partnership with Dean College to create The Center for Business, Entertainment and Sport Management; establishing numerous opportunities for students to gain insight from Patriots and Revolution executives. “Our organization is proud to expand our relationship with Dean College,” said Murray Kohl, vice president of corporate sales for the New England Patriots. “We look
Licensed
forward to offering Dean students new opportunities to gain realworld exposure in the sports, business and entertainment industries through this new venture.” The agreement is an enhancement to an existing relationship between the two organizations that has been in place since 2009. This relationship will strengthen the synergy of the two parties through the direct involvement of Patriots and Revolution executives, who will participate with members of the Dean Faculty in classroom activities for programs Dean College offers. Programs include:
Arts and Entertainment Management, Business, Media Studies and Communications, Security Management, Sport Management and Sports and Fitness Studies. The partnership also includes the introduction of a scholarship program, stadium and event management programs and the development of a formalized internship program where Dean College students will have the opportunity to work. Teaching in collaboration with the Dean Faculty and internships are also a part of the arrangement. Members of the Kraft Sports
Group’s staff will provide insight and analysis on their area of expertise both on the Dean College campus in Franklin, Mass. and at the team’s Gillette Stadium headquarters in Foxborough, Mass. Personnel from multiple areas within the organization will lecture and oversee the students during their internships, providing a collaboration of academics with modern business. In addition, Dean College student-athletes will have the opportunity to utilize training facilities and access various strength, conditioning and nutrition pro-
grams through the Patriots and Revolution organizations. This invaluable benefit provides Dean coaches’ and players access to state-of-the-art equipment and direct contact with training staffs consistently recognized among their respective league leaders. “The Kraft Sports Group is a true business leader and we are proud that they have chosen Dean College to be their exclusive academic partner. It says a lot about our institution and where we are going,” said Dr. Rooney.

HMEA’s Moloney Appointed Chair of Provider’s Council On Tuesday, April 28th, 2015, The Provider’s Council held their Annual Business Meeting and 40th Anniversary Party at The Beechwood Hotel. The event recognized and celebrated those who started the Council back in 1975, and those who continue to do great work in the human services sector. Speakers included Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, who delivered the keynote remarks, and Executive Office of Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders. The Providers’ Council is the state’s largest human service trade association and is widely recognized as the official voice of the private provider industry. Human services refers to both state and private agencies and their employees who provide services for people who may need assistance or support, such as: people with developmental disabilities; people with physical disabilities; people with mental illness; children; elders/ senior citizens; veterans; people who are homeless, among others. The Provider’s council represents hundreds of agencies across the field of health and human services that work with these vulnerable populations. Prior to the celebration, the Council held its Annual Business Meeting and appointed new officers. Michael Michael Moloney, President and CEO of HMEA Inc, a Massachusetts non-profit serving 4,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, was elected to chair the 2015-16 Board of Directors for
the Provider’s Council. The Board also welcomed two new members: Michelle Smith of AIDS Project Worcester and Wayne Ysaguirre of Nurtury. Mr. Moloney provides leadership for the Caring Force, a grassroots effort advocating for better economic conditions for direct support staff. In 2012, Michael was named “Executive Director of the Year” by the Council for his work with the Caring Force in securing raises for 29,000 workers. He also chairs the Autism Committee for the Association of Developmental Disability Providers and is the representative to the Governor’s Commission on Autism. Michael is actively seeking to establish “networks of sustainability partners” by leveraging thought leadership from both the non-profit and for-profit worlds. In this effort, HMEA is working with corporate sponsors for mutual benefit and for the benefit of the broader community in the areas of technology and autism/ disability education and support. Under his leadership, HMEA has used corporate donations for IT infrastructure to develop a start-up business, Cloud4Causes, which provides hosting, networking, and help desk services at affordable prices to smaller non-profits. For his work, he has been named a “Master Social Innovator” by the Boston College Center for Social Innovation. For more information, please visit www.hmea.org.

Community Bank Heroes is an annual award that honors the achievements, commitment and dedication of financial professionals who go above and beyond for their institution and community. “It is a pleasure to recognize and honor the hard work and dedication of this year’s recipients of the Community Bank Heroes Award,” said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group. “Each individual’s approach to their profession represents a true passion for their work and an admirable commitment to the communities in which they serve.”
Maria has been providing exemplary customer service to our community throughout her 40+ year career at Milford Federal Savings & Loan Association. Her warm generous spirit, smile, empathy, heart of gold and exceptional customer service extend far beyond the bank building and regular banking hours, as she often makes herself available to many of our homebound, hospitalized and nursing home customers, often sitting with them long after their business is settled and lending a caring ear. Her support, both professional and personal, extends not just to her customers but to her staff and all her fellow employees. An active, trusted, and well respected member of the Portuguese community, she is also a
valuable contributor to her community through her involvement and volunteer work with St. Jude’s Hospital, the Milford Area Chamber of Commerce, and St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Milford. “I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve my community both in my professional and personal life, said Maria. It is very satisfying to know that I have made a difference in the lives of my customers especially the homebound, the non- and limited-English speaking members of my community and others through my efforts on various committees throughout the years. To have my work and volunteerism recognized in this way is such an honor.”

HOME & GARDEN Free Rain Garden Workshop on June 13 Open to Franklin Residents By J.D. O’Gara Rain gardens do a lot more than just look nice, according to the Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA). They actually help keep your local watershed clean. Plants in soil soak up a lot of the contaminants,” says Alexandra Ash, Director of Communica-
tions and Outreach for the CRWA. Much of the time, she says, rainwater that falls on paved areas, such as driveways, runs off, depending on how the land is configured, into a storm drain that then may drain into the Charles River, for example. In fact, Franklin contains 10 watersheds, or areas of land that drain water to the Charles River. The rain, while being fairly

clean, picks up contaminants from roofs and on top of the pavement, including oil. “Rain gardens sort of filter the water, let the water go into the ground,” says Ash. She explains that a rain garden workshop the CRWA did in Franklin last year focused on planting native plants hardy in drought and wet conditions. “In our demo project last year, you hook up a drainpipe, and instead of having it go where it usually goes, you have it drain into a garden,” she says. Much of what will be soaked up by the plants, she says, especially in Franklin, is phosphorous. “It’s a nutrient,” says Ash, “but it’s not good in the river in large quantities, because it makes the ecosystem out of balance. Too much phosphorous makes too many plants grow in the river out of control.” This becomes a problem for the river in the lower basin,
in Boston, where the temperature is elevated, and it promotes the growth of psiano bacteria, or bluegreen algae, which can be toxic, causing a rash in humans and occasionally something more serious for pets that drink the water. “Phosphorous is present naturally in our environment, but that sometimes gets disturbed. In Massachusetts, you shouldn’t use fertilizer with phosphorous in it, but it can also come from car exhaust and other different sources.” As part of a project funded in part by US CPA, CRWA will present another free Rain Garden Training and Demonstration for Franklin residents on Saturday June 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (with lunch provided) at the Remington/Jefferson School, 628 Washington Street, Franklin. This hands-on workshop will involve participants in designing, building and maintaining a home rain garden to treat polluted rainwater
from driveways and roofs while adding visual interest. The training will be provided by groundSwell Designs, LLC. Each participant will be entered to win a $100 gift certificate to purchase rain garden plants. “It’s going to be hands on so we’re going to plant a rain garden at the school,” says Ash. The training is free for Franklin residents. Space is limited and advanced registration is required. Please register by June 5th, 2015.

LIVING HEALTHY Building Trust, Effort & Discipline, One Athlete at a Time Business Spotlight: APECS There’s a reason athletes from all over, including league MVPs, all-Americans and All-Stars from multiple state title teams and league championship teams come to APECS (Athlete Performance Enhancement Centers). The athletes who come out of APECS, one of the longest running athletic sports performance, team training and adult cross training venues in the Metrowest, are consistently lauded not only for the mastery of their sport and physical condition, but also for their positive attitudes and leadership outside their field of play. “We build a foundation of trust, effort, and discipline. Include some underlying physical ability and you have success,” says Jason Shea, owner of APECS at 276 Village Street in Medway, who says it’s the athletes who put in the work and should take credit for
their own successes. Shea builds trust among his athletes with a focus on safety as a constant consideration within a rigorous program combining Olympic weightlifting instruction, speed and agility sandpit training on their private 40’ X 100’ sandpit, conventional technique-focused weight training, modified Strongman training, Vertimax training, structural balance/injury prevention work and metabolic conditioning. “We practice a need to have versus nice to have approach toward all adult, youth, and athlete strength and conditioning and cross-training,” says the trainer. “What that means is we put a complete emphasis on safety for all our athletes and adults. We find that certain elements of popular cross-training methodologies are dangerous, for example, running

400 meters and then performing 15 handstand pushups in a fatigued state can increase the potential of acute injury to one’s shoulder or neck.” Working as the Massachusetts Municipal Police Statewide Health and Wellness Coordinator, Shea also implements this philosophy toward the training practices at municipal police academies. APECS carefully implements baseline testing for all athletes. These involve structural balance evaluation, anthropometric measures, and performance markers including vertical jump, 10-yard dash and 5-10-5. This determines athletes’ strengths and weaknesses, and what they need to work on. The training he and his staff provide is constantly evolving into something better. That’s because Shea, who also has a master’s degree in Human Movement, has been an adjunct professor of Exercise Science at Dean College in Franklin, is a board member of the Hockomock YMCA and author and Gatehouse Media columnist, is constantly learning, and adapting that knowledge to maximize the performance and safety of the athletes he and his staff train. In fact, APECS works with athletes as young as 10, helping them to grow an awareness of their body and space, strengthen their skeletal structure, and mind-body connection. Closely working with kids at this age, says Shea, can prevent the development of mechanical and structural balance issues as their bodies adjust to growth. The college and high school athletes pass it on by mentoring these younger athletes, as well. Shea explains that APECS’ holistic approach to training begins with a positive mindset. “We try to be so much more than the physical element. We help the athletes set goals and expectations and consistently give them constructive feedback,” states Shea, who strives to build self-confidence in each and every athlete. “Every kid is treated the same. We’re very supportive and inclusive. When the kids trust in their coaches and the staff, they begin to trust in each other as well. From here, the kids start to believe in
themselves and each other,” says Shea. Humility is a characteristic he and his staff hold in high regard. Humility is emphasized by the coaching staff. As a result, “All the athletes that come out of here are very humble,” he says. “We don’t have athletes who feel entitled walking around APECS. We try to teach kids it’s a privilege to play on sports teams, to be able to go to school, to earn good grades, to go off to the military, etc. Rather than focus solely on talent, we put the emphasis on the controllable processes of hard work and the effort you put into things.” What factors combine to produce a successful sports team or program? This is the subject of Shea’s latest research and his sixth book, Building a Culture of Winning. For this project Shea has accumulated over 150+ hours of interviews with dozens of state and national championship-winning coaches from across the na-
tion, identifying key elements in nurturing athletic team success. These include several high profile football coaches from Texas, Washington, Tennessee, Louisiana, and South Carolina, hockey coaches from Minnesota and Massachusetts, wrestling coaches from Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, volleyball coaches from California, military and business leaders from throughout the country, and many more. He’s already begun implementing what he’s found in his work with local high schools and club teams. “I’ve had the opportunity to learn elements of culture, discipline, effort, trust, respect, and team building from some of the best high school coaches from around the country” says Shea. “Prior to the book’s release, we are starting to work with schools in the implementation of building winning cultures throughout their entire high school athletic programs based on this information,” says Shea.

LIVING HEALTHY Opinion
The Public Health Crisis In Our Backyard That Everyone Is Ignoring We have a major public health crisis on our hands in Massachusetts, but it has been mostly ignored. Opioid overdose related deaths have spiked in recent years, hitting 1,008 deaths in 2014, topping the previous record deaths set the year before of 908 overdose deaths (Department of Public Health Report, Massachusetts, 2015). Many point to overprescription by doctors, the high availability of pure heroin as well as spiked causing fatal overdoses. Most municipalities have first
responders now carrying Nalexone (Narcan), which is a drug that can reverse overdoses. Nalexone does not contain any opioid or other potentially abused drug. Thanks to this development, police departments have successfully reversed many opioid overdoses, saving many lives in the process (DPH report, Massachusetts, 2015). Many first responders recognize the sign of addiction and try to offer help to those individuals. Police departments use jail diver-
sion programs to send individuals to treatment for addiction instead of jail, and the Chief in Gloucester recently stated that addicted individuals who come to the police station will be sent for treatment, not arrested. Here lies our crisis however: there are not enough beds for the treatment of opioid dependence. In this state, we do not even have enough beds for addiction treatment. The current number most recently cited is 3,772 beds (Boston Globe, March 15, 2014).
No state agency monitors the number of calls for detoxification bed at any facility, but many complain of the wait list. With so many addicted, how do they get help when they are ready? The answer is they don’t. They continue to use in order to
avoid withdrawal symptoms. And then they are judged by the ones they love as not wanting the help. We need more treatment beds or this crisis will continue and the numbers will continue to climb. Steve Bisson, LMHC

As pollen flies about this season, a number of people are talking about allergies, and what we can do to help alleviate them. One local company believes it has a good solution to help minimize allergens in the house – Aeroseal Duct Sealing. “Basically duct systems in homes have a lot of leaks, metal upon metal so it’s not airtight. Allergens can get inside and blow through the house,” says Heather Logrippo, who says she has had Holliston-based Rodenhiser Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning install this system in her own house. “I had it done about two months ago. It shoots almost like rubber into the duct system, which fills the holes, so not only is it saving you money, but also the allergens can’t get into the ducts. I had it done in my home and the difference is just unbelievable.” Rodenhiser is one of two companies in the state that currently does this, but does the duct sealing really do much to guard a home against allergens? Local Town Pages consulted Dr. Michael McCormick, a Hopedale allergist who belongs to Tri-County Medical Associates, a physician’s group associated with Milford Regional Medical Center.
“Because the weather has been warm, and there have not been a lot of rainy days, it is probably a bad year for allergies,” says Dr. McCormick. “Rain tends to eliminate some of the pollen in the air. When you have a long period without rain, there tends to be a higher pollen count.” In spring, through early June, says McCormick, the biggest irritant is going to be tree pollen. “Of the three seasons, tree, grass and weed, tree tends to have the most sufferers and cause the most significant symptoms,” says Dr. McCormick. From mid-May to the first part of July, grass pollen is prevalent, and weeds, especially ragweed, will start pollinating in the middle of August through September to the first frost. Dr. McCormick notes that about 15-20% of the population will develop allergies or allergic rhinitis, and that they have a genetic predisposition to it. “You need some type of exposure,” he says. “If somebody, say, lived in Spain, where they don’t have much birch pollen, and then they came to New England, it would probably take several seasons of exposure to birch pollen before developing an allergy.” Someone who has seasonal allergies is usually sensitized to pollen, he says.

In this sense, he says, closing your windows and using the air conditioner will probably be beneficial, and sealing up the ducts that could help filter out pollen is probably beneficial, but by no means the first defense against allergies. “Any type of air conditioning equipment will provide reasonable filtration,” he says, although he is skeptical this could cause significant improvement in people’s symptoms. “They might be touting it for dust allergies,” he says. “A dust allergy is really allergy to dust mites, eight-legged microscopic creatures that live in our homes. The most effective way of dealing with dust mite allergies is step one, allergen impermeable covers on pillows, mattresses and box springs, step two, making sure all bedding is washed weekly, step three, removing any carpeting in the room if possible. My point for listing those, is taking care of ductwork is a very distant four or lower. You’re not going to get any relief at all if you have a dust mite allergy unless you take care of the bed.” While the best home remedy, or natural remedy for allergy problems is avoidance, Dr. McCormick says he does think a neti pot, or “nasal saline in multiple different forms can be very effective,”

LIVING HEALTHY Preventing Eye Injuries at Home
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center
Summer is upon us, and everyone is busy in and around the house. Protecting your eyes from injury is one of the most basic strategies to keep your vision healthy throughout your life. You may be somewhat aware of the possible risks of eye injuries, but are you taking the easiest step of all to prevent 90% of those injuries: wearing the proper protective eyewear? If you are not taking this step, you are not alone. According to a national survey by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, only 35% of respondents said they always wear protective eyewear when performing home repairs or maintenance; even fewer do so while playing sports. Eye Injury Facts and Myths Men are more likely to sustain an eye injury than women. Most people believe that eye injuries are most common on the job — especially in the course of work at factories and construction sites. But, in fact, nearly half (44.7%) of all eye injuries occurred in the home.
More than 40% of eye injuries are caused by projects and activities such as home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking. More than a third (34.2%) of injuries in the home occurred in living areas such as the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living or family room. More than 40% of eye injuries every year are related to sports or recreational activities. Eyes can be damaged by sun exposure, not just chemicals, dust or objects. Among all eye injuries, more than 78% were in people not wearing eyewear at the time of injury. Of those reported to be wearing eyewear of some sort at the time of injury (including glasses or contact lenses), only 5.3% were wearing safety or sports glasses. You might think that the family home is a fairly unthreatening setting. However, medical statistics tell a different story: nearly half of all eye injuries each year occur in and around the home, and home-based injuries are increasing each year. This alarming trend is why the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma now recommend
that every household have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear for use during projects and activities that may present risk of injury. Common Eye Injury Risks in the House: • Using hazardous products and chemicals such as oven cleaner and bleach for cleaning and other chores (accidents involving common household products cause 125,000 eye injuries each year). • Cooking foods can that can splatter hot grease or oil. • Opening champagne bottles during a celebration. • Drilling or hammering screws or nails into walls or hard surfaces like brick or cement; the screws or nails can become projectiles, or fragments can come off the surface. • Using hot objects such as curling irons around the face; inadvertent contact with the user’s eyes can cause serious injury. • Loose rugs and railings or other hazards that could cause falls or slips.
Common Injury Risks in the Yard: • Mowing the lawn. • Using a power trimmer or edger. • Clipping hedges and bushes. • Common Eye Injury Risks in the Garage or Workshop: • Using tools (power or hand). • Working with solvents or other chemicals. • Any task that can produce fragments, dust particles or other eye irritants. • Securing equipment or loads with bungee cords. For all of these activities, it’s important to remember that bystanders also face significant risk and should take precautions against eye injuries, too. This is particularly important for children who watch their parents perform routine chores in and around the home. Bystanders should wear eye protection, too or leave the area where the chore is being done. Preventing Eye Injuries at Home Wearing protective eyewear will prevent 90% of eye injuries, so make sure that your home has at least one approved pair and that you and your family members wear the eyewear when risks come into play. There will still be occasions
when accidents and injuries happen. Consider taking some of these safety steps around the home to diminish the risks even more: • Read the labels of chemicals and cleaners carefully, and don’t mix products. • Secure rugs and railings. • Cushion sharp corners and edges of furnishings and home fixtures if you have children or the elderly in your house. • Check the lawn or the outdoor area where you will be working for debris that can become a projectile. • Keep your tools in good condition; damaged tools should be repaired or replaced. • Make sure that all spray nozzles are directed away from you. • Use grease shields on frying pans to protect from splattering. Our center and ophthalmologists have state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat many eye problems, including eye injuries. Learn how to recognize an eye injury and get appropriate care if you or a family member is injured at home, even if you think the injury is trivial. We are now able to better understand and manage these problems and continue our mission to provide world class eye care for the entire family.

Summer is here and everyone is ready to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. But where to go? More Easy Walks: Ashland, Dover, Easton, Foxboro, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Mansfield, Medfield, Natick, Norfolk, Sharon, Sherborn, Walpole, Westborough, is the just released companion book to Easy Walks in Massachusetts: Bellingham, Blackstone, Franklin, Hopedale, Medway, Milford, Millis, Uxbridge, Wrentham and Woonsocket, RI. The two books point you to 65 very local trails in 25 surrounding communities. Written by freelance writer and Bellingham resident Marjorie Turner Hollman, it’s all about
finding places nearby to spend time in the outdoors. Each chapter offers directions to a trailhead, a location map, notes distance and trail conditions, suggests points of interest and indicates where dogs (and their owners) are welcome and more. There are trails along the Charles, Blackstone, Neponset and Sudbury Rivers, short climbs to nice views, walks alongside rushing streams, or around quiet ponds. Several railtrails, completed or in process are included. These are all great locations, close by, to head to when you want to get outside either for some solitude, or with your family.
It’s all here, right in our backyard. Summer is short; it’s time to get out and explore. Hollman will be offering slide show “sights along the trail” presentations to local groups that are interested in hearing more about easy walks that are right around the corner from where you live. More Easy Walks is available on Amazon. For more information or to contact her, email Marjorie@marjorieturner.com or www.marjorieturner.com

Franklin Sports Humphries Displays a Quiet Confidence on the Court By Christopher Tremblay With her father being a big tennis fanatic and her grandfather a Wimbledon qualifier, there was no doubt that a young Anna Humphries would eventually find herself returning lobs on a tennis court. The Franklin resident has played tennis as long as she can remember and believes her parents put her on a court as soon as she could walk. “I actually have a baby picture of myself holding a tennis racquet,” Humphries said. “As soon as I was old enough to know the rules, my parents drilled them into my brain, and at five, I began taking lessons.” Growing up, it wasn’t long before Humphries knew that she had a talent to play the sport that was in her family’s blood. “I was always that kid that was picked at lessons to demonstrate things to others. It was here that I knew that I was good, but I pretty much knew that when I stepped on the court for the first time,” she said. “I love the ability to see your improvement. I’m not all that into team sports, I like being responsible for my own actions.”
That individualism has allowed Humphries to earn a black belt in Mixed Martial Arts in addition to intimidating her opponents on the tennis courts. The karate has helped with her athleticism on the courts and allows her to focus on the task at hand. “Anna’s not very tall and somewhat thin, but she can pound the ball,” said Franklin Tennis Coach Dave Sutherland said. “She’s also quick and very strong with a powerful serve. She’s a committed tennis player that really enjoys the sport.” Although she considered herself a talented tennis player, the incoming freshman to Franklin High School was very nervous when she went out for the team. “I was afraid that I wasn’t going to make the team,” she said. “When Coach Sutherland approached me a few days into the tryouts and told me that I’d be playing first singles I was relieved.” Playing in the first singles position for Franklin Humphries put up solid numbers going 8-8 that first season playing against some of the Hockomock League’s best players.
“I did better than I expected that year, and facing the older kids didn’t really bother me. I took to being the underdog, because they didn’t expect my ability as a freshman,” Humphries said. “Once in awhile I’d come across that one girl who would be intimidating, but I didn’t let it bother me. I had confidence in my ability, otherwise the coach wouldn’t have me playing here.” Despite performing admirably at first singles for the Panther in her freshman season, Humphries was moved down to second singles during her sophomore campaign with Franklin. While too many, the move may have been devastating, but to Humphries it was no big deal. “I knew that Hannah (Sweeney) was good and I expected to lose to her,” she said. “As a freshman I knew that it would be my only year playing first singles with Hannah coming in the following year – she was that good and I was ok with it.” That sophomore season, Humphries went 13-2 with both loses coming to the same girl and was selected to her second
Junior Anna Humphries, named a tennis captain for Franklin this year, enjoys competing based on her own actions. She has tennis in her blood.
straight Hockomock League All Star team. This year, as a junior, she was selected to be a team captain while once again playing at second singles. “Anna can play in both first or second singles, she’s a very committed player and we are going to rely heavily on her this season,” Sutherland said. “Being named a captain as a junior is something that you don’t do all the time, but she is respected and deserving.” As her junior season gets underway (she is already 2-0 at the time of this writing) Humphries would like to make it a three-peat in terms of being named to the Hock All Star squad once again as well as improve upon her record on the court, while going undefeated would be nice according to the third year player. Although the Franklin racketeer is only just beginning her junior season and still has another to go with the Panthers she has thought about playing tennis
on the collegiate level after high school. “I’ve thought about it a lot,” Humphries said. “But I also heard that it’s really time consuming on the college level, and I’m not sure about that. I still have another year of high school and the time to think about it.” If Humphries has been able to play tennis at a high level, earn her black belt in karate and still keep her grades respectable she should be able to continue playing tennis following high school career while still maintaining her grade point average – that is if she wants to. Something tells me, she’s not going to give up tennis that easily, it runs too deep in her blood. “Anna is a very focused individual and will listen to any criticism given to her,” Sutherland said. “She’s a very responsible person, and if she puts her mind to it she can play tennis on the college level and successfully.”

Franklin Sports Prolific Statistics Put Franklin’s Vail In Elite Category By KEN HAMWEY Jack Vail’s is one of Franklin’s all-time greats in lacrosse. Consider these numbers — his 108 points (60 goals, 48 assists) played a major role in his being selected as the Player of the Year in the Hockomock League last year, and his 64 points this season with four games to go puts the senior attackman in elite company in high school lacrosse. Vail’s 108 points last year left the 6-foot-2, 170-pounder second in single-season scoring in the program’s history. And, his 108 points last season and his 64 this year are obviously prime reasons why Springfield College wasted little time in making him one of its prized recruits. But, all the accolades and all the numbers pale in comparison to the goal Vail set at the start of the season. He wants to end his fouryear career with the Panthers by going deep in tournament action. “We’ve gone to the playoffs every year, but we can’t seem to get past the third round,’’ said
Vail, one of the Panthers’ captains. “Last year, we bowed out to Needham after a bye and a win over Dartmouth. As a sophomore, we got to the third round but were eliminated by Lincoln-Sudbury. I want to advance in the playoffs and get to the states. We’ve got the talent. We just all have to be on the same page, be prepared mentally and physically and get a break here and there.’’ Coach Lou Verrochi, who’s had exceptional players during a lengthy career as Franklin’s coach, rates Vail as one of his best. “Jack is very quick, his moves are deceptive and he goes to the net well,’’ Verrochi said. “He knows how to avoid defenders and if he draws a double-team, he can find an open man. He’s got great field awareness.’’ Vail, who played midfield in soccer for two years, added 30 pounds since his freshman year so he could withstand the rough and aggressive action that lacrosse offers. The added muscle has helped him rise to any challenge.
“To be effective at attack you need good finishing moves, a quick release, stick smarts, and strong hands to catch the ball and make passes,’’ Vail emphasized. “An assist is as valuable as a goal. Speed and field awareness are also major assets. Where I need to improve is to get bigger, stronger and faster. College lacrosse has a faster pace. I plan to spend lots of time this summer in the weight room and on strength and conditioning.’’ The Panthers, who were 12-2 as the regular season was nearing an end, likely will win their fourth Kelly-Rex Division title. Vail has played a key role in this year’s superb season. His best game, however, came in non-league action against Newton North. “They’re always a top-notch team,’’ Vail said. “We trailed early, then re-grouped at halftime. I scored the go-ahead goal, then got another for insurance and we won, 11-9. That was a memorable game. As far as a top thrill in my career, I’d rate the Player of the Year honors last year very high.
Jack Vail will take his lacrosse skills, and the results of his strength conditioning, to Springfield College this fall. He hopes to see Franklin achieve high results this season.
It showed that hard work pays off. The recognition is also praise for my teammates who helped me win that award.’’ Vail specifically points to Franklin’s other captains and Verrochi for praise and admiration. “Kyle Lungdren and Kyle Filbert are midfielders who’ve done a great job,’’ Vail noted. “They’re good defenders who transition well to offense. They work hard, are skilled, and we all try to help our younger players. Coach Verrochi is a fine motivator who pushes us to excel. He knows the sport.’’ Vail will get an early taste of college lacrosse when he joins his future Springfield College teammates for a trip to Ireland to play college and club teams. He’ll be in Ireland from July 1-9. “That’ll be a great experience,’’ Vail said. “It gives me a chance to go overseas (first time) and it’s a great opportu-
nity to get to know my teammates. It’s truly a head-start.’’ Vail also will get to know his next head coach. Keith Bugbee indicated to Vail that he’ll get playing time as a freshman. “Coach Bugbee told me during my visits that he likes my style but advised me that I’ll need to get faster because college lacrosse is a faster paced game.’’ A top-notch student, Vail plans to major in business administration at Division 3 Springfield. And, when he’s on a lacrosse field, he expects to rely on the same competitive philosophy that’s taken him a long way in high school. “I’ll play to win and be highly competitive,’’ he said. “Also, I’ll strive to reach my potential and always make the game enjoyable.’’ Jack Vail and lacrosse have been a superb partnership.

We had a purr-fect adoption when Jiggs and Newton went home, together. Newton was trapped, along with his mother, Lula. He is a gray and white, young adult. When he first came to us he was very shy, but has since come out of his shell. He loves to be groomed and petted and will head butt the volunteers to keep the sessions going. Jiggs is the last of the 16 cats we took from a hoarding situation. This handsome tiger was, also, extremely shy and scared when he came to the shelter. The difference between Jiggs and

Going WILD about Saving with NCFCU Norfolk Community Federal Credit Union went WILD celebrating our Eleventh Annual National Credit Union Youth Week April 22-24, during Spring vacation. The credit union’s goal is financial education, including preparing our young people for the financial challenges they will meet as they grow and mature. Our commitment to serve our younger members reflects our belief that financial education has the greatest impact on young people when basics such as money management, saving and investing and wise use of credit are taught early. For the eleventh year, Youthweek highlighted how young people earn, spend, save and manage their own money. Norfolk Credit Union encouraged the children to open an account and begin saving by offering the children free giveaways. The three-day free celebration was open to the public and the “Wild About Saving” theme
m
was celebrated with a festive safari atmosphere including fun activities and goody bags for all the children. The children enjoyed making animal sand art creations and lion heads using curly pasta. They also got to decorate animal picture frames and tried to break into the play vaults by using the correct four digit code. Tickets were awarded for each activity the children participated in and the children used the tickets to take chances on many prizes including Southwick Zoo tickets, PawSox tickets, WaterWizz tickets and many summer activity prizes. The children also posed as a safari guide and their pictures are on display at our office. Norfolk Community Federal Credit Union has announced the Youthweek winners and the list is posted in the credit union lobby.
