A Community Garden Takes Root

July 1, 2015

Wrentham Teacher Recognized as Teacher of the Year

By Grace Allen It’s easy to get excited about vegetables when you talk to Tina Addison. Her enthusiasm for healthy eating has already resulted in a cookbook, so it was only natural when she turned to a bigger project—a community garden to provide fresh produce for Norfolk’s food pantry.

This is actually the Norfolk resident’s second effort to spearhead a community garden in town. Four years ago, she secured a plot at Gump’s Farm with the help of Kevin Roche, The volunteer farmers at community garden. owner of Norfolk Auto and Master of the Norfolk Grange the intersection of Union and farmer,” said Addison.

By Alison Osborne On May 27 at the United Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Spotlight on Education Breakfast, Jennifer Moon of the Roderick School in Wrentham received the Teacher of the Year Award for 2015. In addition, Moon has been named the Norfolk County Teachers Association Teacher of the Year. These awards honor an educator who exemplifies compassion and caring for her students, school, and community. By all accounts, Moon fits that description, teaching her Grade 6 students not only about acceptance and respect for each other, but also community outreach and service. Along with fellow staff members and the Wrentham Police Department, Moon helps organize charity basketball and softball games for students and families in need.

Moon expressed the overwhelming emotion she felt after receiving the award. “Our school is full of deserving staff members who go above and beyond on

Being honored in front of my students, family, and colleagues made this experience extra special.” Moon credits the effort, and thoughtfulness of the community for making the award possible. Aly Wood, the Grade 6 student who nominated Moon, also received acknowledgment at the breakfast.

When Moon was in the third grade, her teacher Miss Anne West inspired her to pursue teaching. Moon says, “Miss West made every day exciting and made each student feel important.” That experience led Moon to teach with the same philosophy. “If we create a feeling that they too can use this education to better the world and themselves, then we have truly done our job,” she said.

Moon teaches her students about acceptance and mutual respect; that each student has a different way of learning, a different

Fiber Artist N. Maia Howes: Artist, Teacher, Writer

By Anne Parker

The town of Wrentham celebrated its annual Arts on the Common in May. The day was filled with people, food, music and artists. One of the day’s exhibitors was fiber artist N. Maia Howes.

Howes is a resident in Wrentham’s Sheldonville section. She offered lessons in paper making at her display that day.

Fiber art refers to fine art using natural or synthetic fiber and other components, such as fabric or yarn. It focuses on the materials and the artist’s manual labor as part of the work’s significance.

Aesthetic is valued over utility.

This is her third year at Arts on the Common. Making paper by hand is currently her favorite form of art, explained the friendly, vivacious woman who loves to tell a story.

Howes has enjoyed other forms of fiber art during her career. One thing leads to another. “I learned to embroider at the knee of my grandmother, literally,” she said. “I embroidered for years. Somehow I got into quilting. I quilted with friends, and showed some.”Some of her quilts are on display at the Fiske Public Library.

She has created quilts mostly as an art form--you would not use one for a bed or couch. Howes is inspired by personal experiences, family, and nature when she designs a theme.

She has wonderful memories of her family; she speaks fondly of her grandmother who lived to age 98. “There’s a phrase in our family: My grandmother loved to dance and my grandfather didn’t.

So I got this idea to design a quilt about her. It was a rectangle that had pink fancy fabric on the back.

It is all quilted with roses and all off-white in the front. I hung a

pink dance dress I got at a thrift shop, a fan, gloves and corsage on the front.”

The end product is a 3-dimensional piece of art, all soft fabrics and textures. It is on display at the Fiske Library. Howes titled it “My Grandmother’s Fantasy.”

She has another quilt at the library called “Sheldonville Spring.” It’s pictorial and slightly abstract, she says. “I used to walk down Brant Spring Road in Sheldonville. There are fields on one side and the woods on the other side. They fit together and the colors blend.”

Another memory is from Cape Porpoise, Maine, near Kennebunkport, where Howes’ family used to visit. It is called “A Day at the Beach at Cape Porpoise.”

It has fabric that she hand dyed.

She cut fabric into strips and wove them together. “When you walk on the flats you see so many colors mostly blues and greens.

There are small bits of pink. And they are part of the quilt.”

Howe has had a varied career.

After high school she got a degree from New England School of Nursing. She worked in a number of nursing jobs, including a stint as a school nurse. At some point she stopped working and started taking classes at Fuller Art Museum in Brockton. She enjoyed painting and water color. That’s where she first made paper and got the bug.

Attending Fuller Art Museum was pivotal for Howes. “I began teaching there. I had a friend who was director of Special Education in Brockton. He was looking for programs for the kids to stimulate their growth. He believed in their possibilities. He arranged for the kids to come once a week.” She served as teacher and consultant for 16 years. She also developed and oversaw a paper making studio in which the students worked.

Currently, Howes teaches classes at the Fiske Library in Wrentham as well as at libraries in other towns, including Franklin, Medfield, Seekonk, and North Attleboro. “I am the oldest of 5 children. I had a lot of responsibility. I was probably bossy and a

born teacher,” she laughs. These days, teaching at libraries is her bread and butter. And she loves it.

Howes has worked in many different forms, including sculpture, collage and mixed media from the classes she took at the Museum School at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Howes also loves to write poetry. One of them is literally tucked inside the pocket on the back of her quilt entitled “Mountains of Georgia”. She created blue and green mountains with

colors and patterns.

But fiber arts and the feeling of materials is what truly excites her. “It’s texture and tactile,” she explained. “I have to be careful,” she laughs, saying she may like the fabric on someone’s clothing.

“I have to contain myself and not touch someone’s coat! My closet has lots of textures, wools and tweeds. I love to wear sweaters.”

Howes’ life and career as artist have evolved together. She blends memories and emotions, using materials from the world around

her. She always liked the hands-on fun throughout her childhood in the fields and farms she grew up on in Hanover, MA. “I moved from mud pies to paper,” she joked, thinking about her enjoyment of working with her hands. Howes is fortunate to have been able to turn that love into a craft that she can share with others.

has a published book under her belt, “Good Food for Everyone,” in which she tweaked family recipes to make them vegetarian. A nurse as well as a vegetarian herself, Addison is adamant that visitors to the food pantry have access to healthy food items.

When produce from the garden at Gump’s was first offered at Norfolk’s Food Pantry, Addison had a difficult time getting people to take some of it. “They were veggie-fearful,” she said.

So, she brought cooked samples to convince food pantry visitors to try some new-to-them vegetables, such as pattypan squash.

The Norfolk Grange is once again backing the new community garden. Originally an organization designed to protect the rights of farmers, the Grange has evolved to promote community

service through rural projects. In addition to supporting the community garden effort, the Grange recently sponsored Norfolk’s Clean and Green Campaign for Earth Day. Even though the garden’s crops are in, the work is ongoing.

Addison is relying on her crew of volunteer farmers to keep the weeds down and the plants watered, and eventually to harvest the vegetables. Norfolk resident Zach Ziegler is the “lead volunteer gardener,” according to Addison.

Ziegler is a student at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass, Amherst.

“He has brought not only his energy but also his vast knowledge of gardening,” said Addison. “I love that he can verify that what I am thinking of doing is correct.

He is like a mentor.”

Ziegler and Roche have devised a watering system for the community garden, said Addison, an ongoing issue for gardeners and farmers everywhere. “This has been a work in progress, figuring out the watering system.

The soil is fantastic, the property is beautiful. The water was our Achilles heel.”

Using rain barrels from the Norfolk Transfer Station, the men devised a battery-operated pump system that takes water from a brook on the property, fills the barrels, and then pumps the water into hoses to water the crops. Rain barrels are available for free from the Transfer Station for any Norfolk resident, said Addison.

Misty Meadow Farm is a slice of Norfolk history. Original owner Emily Sharp Jacques named it for the mist she saw rising from the meadow on Diamond Street. In 1946, Jacques painted a mural of the view from her kitchen window.

That mural is now encased in the reading room of the Norfolk Library.

A painter herself, Addison appreciates the significance of farming on that very plot of land depicted in Jacques’ mural.

“What’s so fantastic about this property is that it has brought all these Norfolk people together as a gardening family,” said Addison.

For more information about Norfolk’s community garden, or to volunteer, contact Addison at tinagoodfood@yahoo.com.

Local Food Pantries Need Summer Donations

Both Norfolk and Wrentham food pantries say they could use food donations in the summer months. Most food drives occur in the colder weather or during the holidays, but pantry directors say the summer months can stretch food budgets, too. Children are home on vacation, and at least one more meal is eaten at home instead of at school.

According to Josh King, the Office Administrator for Norfolk’s Food Pantry, the amount of food the pantry receives around the holidays is “overwhelming.” But during the summer months, supplies can dip low.

Dee Harpin, the director of Norfolk’s Food Pantry, said the pantry appreciates fresh produce from area gardens, and is looking forward to the new community garden’s contributions this year.

“We usually just have canned fruit and vegetables, so the fresh ones are a welcome change,” said Harpin. She notes the food pantry has received vegetables from the town’s prison gardens, too.

Harpin said the pantry is low on cereal, tuna, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, and sauces. Donated food items should be checked to make sure they have not expired. In addition, the Norfolk Food Pantry needs volunteers to sort and shelve food, as well as work on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. when the pantry is open to local residents.

In Wrentham, Food Pantry Board of Directors member Diana Eastty echoes her Norfolk counterparts. “The summer is our slowest time of year for donations.

We live in a very generous community but many people are busy or away in the summer.”

Eastty said the Wrentham Food Pantry is in need of peanut butter, tuna, soups, pasta, rice, and cereal.

The food pantry also likes to provide cake and brownie mixes, jello, cookies, spices, and kid-friendly snacks to their clients.

Wrentham has a community garden that provides fresh produce to the pantry in the summer months, said Eastty. In addition, White Barn Farm donates produce weekly.

The Wrentham Food Pantry is located in the Whiston House behind the Original Congregational Church on East Street. It serves 85 to 100 families. For more information, call 508-384-3110 or email food.wrentham@gmail.com The Norfolk Food Pantry is located on the grounds of the Emmanuel Baptist Church on Rockwood Road, and serves 15 to 20 families weekly.

life story, and that despite those differences everyone can succeed.

“Students aren’t afraid to take risks and learn quickly that it’s okay to be wrong.” Moon encourages her students and fosters a connection between their lessons to real life situations. “I am proud to promote a classroom where students feel safe, challenged, respected, and loved.”

Stephen Grenham, principal of the Roderick School, spoke with great respect of Moon. “Jenn is an extraordinary teacher and shows the utmost professionalism with her students at the center.”

Moon’s involvement with Wrentham and the Roderick School is not limited only to a classroom. Moon and other members of the faculty created the S.W.I.S.H (Students with Illnesses Score Help) Charity Basketball Game and the WTA (Wrentham Teachers Association) Charity Softball Game. S.W.I.S.H has collected over $70,000 in the past decade for children and families dealing with serious illnesses.

This year staff members launched an affiliated website with the help of Lucas Sports, and were able to raise the most money to date. The WTA Softball Game has collected close to $6,000 for student scholarships. Moon says, “Neither of these events could be possible without the unwavering support from the Wrentham Police Department and Wrentham staff members.” According to Moon, their goal is to make the fundraisers bigger each year, in the hope of reaching more students and families.

Moon says it’s the role of teachers to show students, “the power their education has in their lives.”

As a recipient of two awards for Teacher of the Year, her work is having an impact. She has taught students to stay positive and to respect their classmates from all walks of life. Families facing illness or other hardships can rely on the organizations Moon participates in for support. It’s clear the Roderick School and Wrentham students are fortunate to have such dedicated staff with teachers like Moon.

Electric Youth to Perform Free Summer Concerts Following a two-and-a-half week summer concert tour of England and France, Electric Youth (EY) will perform two free outdoor concerts on Thursday, July 23, from 6:30-8 p.m. at Norfolk Town Hill and on Wednesday, July 29, from 6-8 p.m. on Franklin Town Common. The Franklin concert will be presented as part of the first annual Franklin Cultural Festival, hosted by the Franklin Cultural District Committee.

The culinary, fine and performing arts celebration will take place at various downtown Franklin locations from July 29 to August 2.

Electric Youth’s 12th European tour features three shows at Disneyland Paris and several concerts along the coast of Normandy. Performances in England include a July 4th show for U.S. troops stationed at Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Feltwell Air Force

Bases and concerts at Wimborne’s Tivoli Theatre and in Arundel and Hastings. 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.

Backed by the eight-piece band of world-class 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. This season’s repertoire features fully choreographed performances of the best of Adele, Aretha Franklin, Imagine Dragons, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Frank Sinatra, Styx and more.

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 the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA). Electric Youth 2015 includes Adriane D’Amato of Foxboro; Madison Asgeirsson, 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. King,

Diana Ross, The Temptations and Van Morrison. EY’s show band features Kenny Hadley on drums, Bill Miele on bass, Artie Montanaro on trombone, Walter Platt on trumpet, Ken Reid on tenor saxophone, Ben Whiting on baritone saxophone, John Wilkins on guitar, and Raye Lynn Mercer on piano. Under the direction of Mark Poniatowski, musical arrangers for Electric Youth are Rick Hammett, Jeff Perry, Walter Platt, Poniatowski, Mark White and Ben Whiting. Hallie Wetzell is Electric Youth’s Vocal Director. Choreographers include Mercer, Casey Andrade, Cheryl Madeux, Nick Paone and Kellie Stamp.

Electric Youth has released six professional CDs and toured Europe 11 times, with performances at England’s Arundel Festival, Disneyland Paris, professional theaters in Bristol, London and Wind-

sor, and such renowned venues as Sanremo’s Ariston Theatre and Vienna’s Konzerthaus, Musikverein and Schonbrunn Palace. EY has also headlined Fourth of July shows for U.S. troops and their families stationed in Italy at Camp Ederle, Camp Darby, and Aviano Air Force Base. The ensemble has performed on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, on Fox-TV and WBZ Radio, and at Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, Mechanics Hall, the Smithsonian Museum Theater and the United Nations. EY’s music, including the 2014 album, Power Chord, is available at amazon.com and iTunes.

NO SURGERY for This New England Fat Loss Client Through many appointments, 53 year-old Tracey Romanelli received advice from her doctor to lose weight. When he suggested gastric bypass, it took her a year to even consider the option. Relenting, she attending a seminar to learn more about the process.

“It really turned me off,” Romanelli said. “It’s not a cure all. I heard from friends that there are complications, and they eventually gained the weight back and then some.”

The Bellingham resident remembered she had clipped some New England Fat Loss (NEFL) ads and testimonials. She contacted NEFL and scheduled a complimentary consultation.

The program required a lifestyle change in her eating habits, which Romanelli admitted was difficult at first. However, she soon reaped the rewards with significant weight loss.

“I finally came to the point that I was ready to do something,” Romanelli said. “It was very hard at

first, as I got used to it. However, the weight and the inches came off. I am so glad I did it.”

In less than two months, Romanelli dropped 35 pounds and is now in Phase Two of the New England Fat Loss program. During this stage, her menu choices have expanded, but she continues to adhere to healthier eating habits.

“I’ve been trying to lose weight since I had my daughter 18 years ago, so this is a whole new different lifestyle,” Romanelli said. “I’m ok with that, however, because I feel so good.”

In addition to following the NEFL food guidelines, Romanelli also credits her success to the exceptional encouragement of the program’s staff.

“I texted Dr. John every day, and if I was on a plateau, he would give me advice and the next day I would lose a pound,” Romanelli said. “In fact, everyone I have met has been incredibly supportive. It is a big plus having a support sys-

tem.”

Romanelli has personally committed to a year with the NEFL program and looks forward to shedding even more pounds. Each day she is one step closer to her personal goal, but bigger changes are in store for her future.

“The rest of my life is going to be like this,” Romanelli proudly stated. “I’m not going back to the way I was and the way I ate. Now I eat healthy and I feel so much better.”

How to Prepare for a Meeting with Your Designer for a Kitchen Remodel So, you’ve decided to remodel your kitchen, the heart of your home. That’s great! You’ve hired a licensed and skilled company to do the work. Excellent! Now you are ready to meet with your

designer who will work with you on cabinet layout, space planning, finishes, and selections, etc.

How can you ensure a smooth collaboration that results in your dream kitchen? Here are some

tips that I recommend to my clients when they first meet with me about their kitchen remodel.

Understand That Designers Are Not Mind Readers The hardest client meetings I have are with clients who do not know what they want. I am sure this idea that designers can pull your thoughts out of your brain comes from some of the HGTV shows where a design is presented and instantly it is exactly what the client wants. What is not shown is that there are meetings behind the scenes where brainstorming happens and design drafts are created. While free reign is probably a dream come true to most designers, it would not allow for a space that is truly “you.” To make your design meetings go smoothly, it is helpful to have a collection of online photos, a binder of saved magazine clippings, or even just an inspirational image or focal piece you want to incorporate in to the design. My favorite way to collect inspiration ideas is on Houzz.com. Houzz makes it easy to create “Ideabooks” to store ideas online. These Ideabooks, along with gathering information about how you will use the space, will help the designer formulate a design that is right for you and your family. The more info you can share, the better.

With that being said….

Discuss Priorities and Goals With Your Partner Any decision makers for the project need to be on the same page. This is not to say that you and your spouse and/or family

members need to be in agreement right from the get-go on the exact cabinet door pull, but your design meetings will go a lot smoother if you discuss larger items beforehand. Do you love hardwood but your spouse insists on tile? Hating the idea of painted cabinets but your family is refusing to have dark stained cabinetry?

While a good designer will be able to listen to all of the family’s needs and accommodate as best as he or she can, your designer does not need to add “family counselor” to his or her long list of job titles.

(I have actually had clients speak of divorce during a client meeting because they couldn’t agree on a tile. Yes, this is a real issue.)

Have Appliances in Mind While you don’t have to have all of your appliances picked out down to the exact model number, you should have an idea of the type and size of appliances you would like in your new kitchen.

Do you want double ovens? Do you want a counter-depth fridge and an auxiliary under-cabinet fridge? Do you want a hood over the cooktop or a microwave? A cabinet design cannot be finalized until all appliances are selected, but it is hard to start a cabinet design when you don’t know if you need to leave room for a 45” wide built-in fridge or a 48” professional range. Having an idea on what type of appliances you would like to see in your new kitchen will save time in the design phase.

Bottom line: a great designer is a great listener. Tell your designer (and show them) as much information as you can to ensure a beautiful, thoughtful kitchen remodel that functions for all members of the family.

Coffee with an Attitude: Cilla’s Opens in Norfolk

By Grace Allen The buzz was palpable at the soft opening of Cilla’s Coffeehouse in Norfolk center in midJune. In addition to invited guests, social media swiftly gathered a small crowd.

Owner Mary Ellen Blue says it’s been a long three years watching her dream come to fruition.

Blue remembered standing in the parking lot of the Norfolk Cooperative Preschool years ago after dropping off one of her children, and lamenting the lack of a place for the mothers to gather and have a cup of coffee.

A resident of Medfield, Blue was a stay-at-home mom for 19 years before working at a Chatham coffeehouse owned by a friend. She enjoyed the job so much her kids encouraged her to open her own coffeehouse. “I love meeting people. I think everybody has a story to tell,” said Blue.

Cilla’s Coffeehouse, named for Blue’s mother Priscilla, serves breakfast and lunch items in addition to coffees, teas, and other spe-

cialty drinks. But Blue says the focus will be on the beverages.

“I am a coffeehouse with really good food,” said Blue.

Cilla’s cold-brews iced coffee and tea, an hourslong process that results in a smooth beverage with no acidic aftertaste, said Blue.

She melts Swiss chocolate daily for her hot chocolate drinks.

The food is not an afterthought, however, said Blue.

“I have taken a lot of time to get really great products.”

The pastry case is filled with items from The Danish Pastry House in Watertown.

Every morning at 4 a.m. an employee drives to Watertown to pick up freshly baked pastries. Known as “a little slice of Denmark,” the Danish Pastry House uses long-time family recipes for their minimally processed baked goods.

Cilla’s is obviously a family affair. Blue has 21 nieces and nephews, and a lot of them are

behind the counter. Sandwiches are named after Blue’s siblings.

Personal photos decorate some of the walls. On opening day, family members hugged and congratulated Blue on achieving her dream.

Blue is brimming with ideas for

the coffeehouse, and her enthusiasm is obvious.

Employees sport t-shirts that read “It’s all about the attitude” on the back.

Years ago, Blue’s father told her to remember three things to be successful in life and work: attitude, attitude, attitude.

“Everyone who knows me says ‘she has the best attitude,’” said Blue. “It’s all how you are treated.

I feel like I have a great staff, and we’ll go out of our way to make it a good experience for our customers.”

Blue plans on displaying rotating artwork from local artists, and has reached out to the schools, including the preschools, for artwork.

Blue plans open mic nights and trivia nights, too. Cilla’s has a full liquor license, but initially Blue will open the coffeehouse from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. only, until she feels the staff is ready to handle a longer

day and the extra responsibilities.

In addtion, Blue hopes to have a beverage cart on the MBTA platform by August, selling coffees and water to morning commuters.

It’s obvious Blue intends Cilla’s to be a family-friendly place. “I love kids. I have four kids of my own,” said Blue. “Kids are my best customers.” She is also pleased to be creating jobs in Norfolk, she said.

Town officials hope Cilla’s Coffeehouse will be the impetus to the long-stalled evolution of Norfolk’s center. Jack Hathaway, Town Administrator, believes Cilla’s “will help build some momentum for more retail development.”

Jim Lehan, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said “We have a great town center but are always hopeful that more development that blends with our rural atmosphere will be successful.”

Blue believes Cilla’s Coffeehouse will be a welcome addition to the town. “I think I am bringing something a little new and different to Norfolk,” she said.

Guest Column

Massachusetts Boys State 2015

By Will Linde, Editor of the KP Metacomet From June 13 to June 19, I had the honor of attending the Massachusetts Boys State Program at Stonehill College in Easton, MA. When I arrived at the campus Saturday morning, I did not know what to expect for the week; but I had high expectations after everything I had heard and read about the program. When I left Boys State Friday morning, I came home more than satisfied and with hundreds of new ideas and aspirations running through my head.

I would like to begin by thanking my teachers and administrators at King Philip for selecting me for this amazing opportunity, the staff and participants of Boys State for working to create such an incredible week, and I would like to especially thank the Norfolk post of the

American Legion for sponsoring me on this wonderful trip.

For those who do not know, Boys State is a youth government program sponsored by the American Legion. It is a simulation of the state and local governments of Massachusetts, but high school Juniors selected from across the state fill the positions. In Massachusetts, the program has been held at Stonehill for the past twenty years, and it is the only program in the nation where Girls State is held on the same campus. At Boys State, the over three-hundred attendees are divided up into sixteen towns and cities, and each municipality is named after a famous war battle.

The program entails each student to hold an elected or appointed position in his town. The positions range from town moderator and mayor, school and planning

board committeemen, to police chief and constable. Each town must then work to design a budget for a fiscal year, solve a crisis in their town, and pass a bylaw or ordinance. My town, Pearl Harbor, simulated a small locale on the South Shore, and its citizens were tasked with rebuilding our tourism industry after the devastating “Hurricane Rocky.” In this process, I was given a much greater insight into the difficulties and inner-workings of town government to which I had not had much previous exposure to. My AP U.S. Government and politics class taught me a plethora of information about our federal and state government, but Boys State provided me with the learning opportunity to experience the jobs of our local elected officials and what my grandfather might have done as a town selectman in Upton, MA when he served twenty years ago.

Also at Boys State, attendees participate in politics in government on the state and political party levels. At the outset of the week, each boy is given a party, Nationalist or Federalist. These parties have no political affiliation and the students build the parties from the ground up. It is on these party platforms that attendees run for the statewide offices of Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary of

State, Lieutenant Governor, and Governor. After party primaries, nominees from the two parties participate in a candidate’s forum and a general election in which the boys determine the officers.

In addition to these constitutional officers, two Senators are elected to represent Massachusetts Boys State at Boys Nation in Washington, D.C. in July, and there is a District court with trials, and a State Senate and House of Representatives. As a state senator, I was able to be an active participant in the legislative process and experience the real life gridlock between party politics and the House and Senate. I was also able to write and pass legislation, including a bill that solved the fictional statewide H29-Y29 virus outbreak. As someone who is extremely interested in government and will likely pursue a career in it, I experienced the government firsthand and Boys State forced me to put my AP Government knowledge to the test. Also, for all the attendees who may not have known a lot about government beforehand, they acquired a wealth of knowledge to bring back to their own towns and cities, and they may have even found their calling in life.

One of the best aspects of Boys State was the overall atmosphere.

Boys came from all over the state, from Westfield to Cape Cod, and

they came from all races, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds; but everyone who attended genuinely desired to be there. Whether a participant was an athlete or an intellectual, a “band kid” or a class president, every student seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and actively worked to solve crises, learn about government, law, and economics, and inspire social and political change. It was sincerely inspiring and enlightening to see so many young men committed to a common goal despite various different political views and upbringings. When the party platforms were announced in the middle of the weak, the ideals were the same: social and economic equality, equal opportunity, and diplomacy with our allies and enemies abroad. Because the youth of our state held these ideals so authentically and patriotically, it was affirmed to me that there are true leaders in my generation; and despite the woes of our towns, state, nation, and the world today, America’s youth is equipped to tackle these issues head on and lead not only our nation, but the global community in the right direction.

This article was also published in the KP Metacomet.

On Wednesday, June 3 Senator Richard J. Ross and Representative Shawn Dooley welcomed students from the H. Olive Day School in Norfolk to the Massachusetts State House. The students gave a performance under the direction of their choir teacher, Bonnie O’Connell. Following the performance, the students received a tour of the historic building.

LIVING HEALTHY The Sun, UV Radiation and Your Eyes

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Here are some interesting facts about Ultraviolet (UV) light and our eyes: Exposure to UV light raises the risks of eye diseases.

When we’re out in the sun without protection, we increase our risks for cataracts, growths on the eye, and cancer. Growths on the eye, such as pterygium, can show up in our teens or twenties, especially in surfers, skiers, fishermen, farmers, or anyone who spends long hours under the midday sun or in the UV-intense conditions found near rivers, oceans, and mountains. Diseases like cataract and eye cancers can take many years to develop, but each time we’re out in the sun without protection we could be adding damage that adds to our risks for these serious disorders. Babies and kids need to wear hats and sunglasses for this very reason. People of all ages should take precautions whenever they are outdoors. Use only glasses that block both UV-A and UV-B rays and that are labeled either UV400 or 100% UV protection. Choose wraparound styles, so that the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. If you wear

UV-blocking contact lenses, you’ll still need sunglasses. Don’t be fooled by clouds: the sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Never look directly at the sun. Don’t forget the kids and older family members: everyone is at risk.

UV Light: Good in moderation for a good night’s sleep.

Some research suggests that light-sensitive cells in the eye are important to our ability to regulate wake-sleep cycles. This may be more critical as we age, when more people have problems with insomnia. While it’s important that we protect our eyes from overexposure to UV light, our eyes also need minimal exposure to natural light every day to help maintain normal sleep-wake cycles.

Time outdoors may prevent nearsightedness in kids Research shows that children who spend more time outside exposed to daylight may reduce their risk of developing nearsightedness. So not only is exercise great for eye health, but now it seems that getting that exercise while outside may be additionally beneficial.

Indoor tanning can damage your eyes just like the sun Eleven different U.S. medical organizations have joined together

to raise awareness of the dangers of indoor tanning, citing rising skin cancer rates, particularly among young women who are more likely to use indoor tanning beds. In addition to causing skin cancer, tanning beds — like prolonged sun exposure — can lead to serious eye damage.

Looking at a solar eclipse is a threat to your eyes.

Looking directly at a solar eclipse is as dangerous as staring at the unblocked sun and can cause damage to the retina, the lightsensitive nerve layer at the back of the eye. Everyone of any age and any degree of skin pigmentation is susceptible to UV damage. Children are particularly susceptible to UV damage.

People with light colored eyes may have an increased risk of certain eye diseases.

Skin cancer, rare eye cancers, such as melanoma of the iris and macular degeneration are more prevalent if you have light colored eyes. UV protection becomes even more important.

People who take photosensitizing drugs can make your eyes more sensitive to light.

You should discuss precautions with your ophthalmologist if you are taking photosensitizing drugs.

Wear UV-absorbent sunglasses

and a hat whenever you go outside for as long as you take them. Some of those drugs include: Antibiotics containing fluoroquinolones and tetracycline (including doxycycline and Cipro), certain birth control and estrogen pills and some antiinflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen and naproxen (though the reaction is rare).

Recommended Types of Sunglasses Often the labels on sunglasses promise protection from ultraviolet light and other kinds of natural radiation. It is important to know what kind of light you need to protect your eyes from and what type of light is not necessarily harmful.

• Blocks 99 percent of ultraviolet rays: You should always buy sunglasses with this feature. UVB radiation is considered more dangerous to the eyes and skin than UVA radiation.

• Impact resistant: All sunglasses must meet impact standards set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety. No lens is truly unbreakable, but plastic lenses are less likely than glass lenses to shatter when hit by a ball or stone.

• Polarized: Polarized lenses cut reflected glare — sunlight that bounces off smooth surfaces like pavement, car windows, chromed

surfaces or water. They can be particularly useful for driving and fishing.

• Lens darkness: A medium lens is good for day-to-day wear, but if you use the glasses for very bright conditions, choose a darker lens.

• Photochromic: A photochromic glasses lens automatically darkens in bright light and becomes lighter in low light. Most of the darkening takes place in about half a minute, while the lightening takes about five minutes.

• Wraparound style: Wraparound glasses are shaped to keep light from shining around the frames and into your eyes. Studies have shown that enough UV rays enter around ordinary eyeglass frames to reduce the benefits of protective lenses. Large-framed wraparound sunglasses can protect your eyes from all angles.

LIVING HEALTHY Strength Training and Safety for the Upper Body Contributed by Michael Fiore, Physical Therapist, Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab, Inc. Strength training is an important component to a well-rounded fitness plan; however, many wellmeaning enthusiasts unknowingly risk injury due to improper form especially when performed repetitively or over an extended period of time. Many novices simply copy exercises they see others doing. Although, many fitness magazines and websites suggest exercises and even provide pretty good instruction, following proper safety techniques is crucial.

The Rules for Upper Body Exercise: • Rule #1: Avoid activities that involve pressing or pulling behind the head.

Pressing or pulling activities performed with a bar behind the head places increased stress on the rotator cuff (shoulder muscles) and can lead to poor posture and neck/spinal disorders. Pulling or pressing in front of the head is more efficient and less destructive to the shoulder.

• Rule #2: Do not let the elbow pass the shoulder.

Whether performing pressing, pulling, fly, or reverse fly activities, the point at which the elbow and shoulder are in alignment should be the endpoint of the range of motion. When the elbow is behind the shoulder, tendons in the shoulder may become strained resulting in injury over time.

• Rule #3: Perform raising activities up to shoulder level and not above.

•Raising the hand to the shoulder is an excellent way to improve shoulder strength, however, if these exercises are performed above shoulder level the top rotator cuff tendon gets pinched and over time repetitive pinching may cause inflammation, tendonitis, tearing, and even rupture. Many people simply lift too high not realizing the potential risk and because it is easier due to momentum.

• Rule #4: Avoid compensation or “cheating” “Cheating” or compensation is a breakdown in

form due to exhaustion or using too much resistance. It is important to choose the correct amount of weight and increase gradually while making sure that form doesn’t suffer. Form breakdown includes: • excessiveshrugging • straining one’s head for ward with a movement • swinging of a weight or one’s body to initiate movement It’s important to choose the appropriate resistance for the number of sets and repetitions. It’s also vital to rest between sets to prevent breakdown in form (at least 30-60 seconds, but no more than 1-2 minutes). Following these simple rules can mean the difference between working towards one’s goals or imminent injury.

Norfolk Legion Squad is Scrappy but Inexperienced

By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer The 2015 edition of the Norfolk American Legion baseball team will be a work in progress.

Coach Bill Lagos, however, likes the versatility and the scrappy style of his Post 335 contingent, but he’s also acutely aware that his squad is extremely young, lacks pitching experience and must improve its hitting.

“Of the 17 players we have, 15 will return next year,’’ said Lagos, who’s been the Norfolk coach for the last six years. “We’re very young and we need to gain experience quickly. If we improve individually, then we’ll be better as a team. A major key for us is how quickly our players adapt to a higher level of competition.’’

Since the 53-year-old Lagos, who once coached Falmouth of the Cape Cod League, took Norfolk’s coaching reins, Post 335 has had only two .500 seasons. This year, Lagos has seven returning players, led by centerfielder Noah Sorrento, who excelled at Xaverian in football, hockey and baseball.

“There’s a lot to like about Noah,’’ said Lagos who’s lived in Wrentham for the last 15 years.

“He’s tough as nails, has a good arm, good speed and hits for power. He hit .364 last year and is in his third year of Legion ball

with Norfolk. He’ll attend Williams College.’’

Two other key contributors are infielder Reid Spears of Bishop Feehan and catcher Alex MacDonagh of Milton Academy.

“Reid is in his second year with us and Alex has four years in the program,’’ Lagos noted. “Reid can play shortstop or second.

He’s smooth, has good range and a strong arm. He’s a quality hitter, compiling a .321 average last year. Alex is a skilled catcher who’s great on defense. He hit .290 last year and he’s improved his arm.

He’s very good working with our pitchers.’’

Another key returnee is Ryan McDermott of Worcester Academy, a four-year Legion veteran who’ll play a middle infield position. “Ryan has a good bat and he’s a smart player,’’ Lagos said.

Three other players with Legion experience are infielder Michael Cleary of Millis and pitchers Keegan MacEwen and Rich Bedard, both of Xaverian.

“Michael can play first or third base,’’ Lagos said. “He’s strong defensively, has a good arm and

will bat in the middle of the order.

Keegan, who’ll be at St. Anselm’s next year, can start or help in relief.

He’s got an effective fastball, slider and change-up but his control can improve. Rich will be a senior at Xaverian. He can also play the outfield. He’s got potential on the mound and he’s working to improve his curve ball. He hit well last year in a pinch-hitting role and also as a starter.’’

Six pitchers who can also play other positions include Jonathan Rolfe (King Philip), Stephen Murray (King Philip), Jake Lannigan

(King Philip), Darren Kelly (Foxboro High), Jack DiCenso (King Philip), and Robbie Bedard (Xaverian).

“All six will still be in high school next year,’’ Lagos said. “They’ll all get an opportunity to pitch for us, they’re quality athletes and they’re ready to accept the challenge of Legion ball.’’

Two players who’ve displayed lots of talent and versatility are Will Weir, who’ll be a junior at KP, and Stephan McMeans, who’ll be a KP senior in the fall.

“Will played shortstop for KP in the spring,’’ Lagos said. “And, Stephan can play anywhere. Both give us flexibility.’’

Darren Kelly, a junior at Foxboro High, is another versatile player who could see action as a middle infielder.

Two competitors, who’ll be juniors at KP in the fall, are middle infielder Kyle Guenthner and outfielder Eli O’Neill. “Both are young and will have to learn fast,’’ said Lagos.

Norfolk, which dropped its first two games of the 2015 season, competes in Zone 6, which has 18 teams and is the largest zone in the state. Post 335 is in the Western Division, which is comprised of defending champion Walpole, Westwood, Medfield, Foxboro, Needham, Franklin, Norwood, Brookline and Norfolk. The Eastern Division includes Quincy, Braintree, Holbrook, Weymouth, Milton, Canton, Hyde Park, Cohasset and Stoughton.

“The top four teams qualify for the playoffs,’’ Lagos said, “and we’ve made it once in my six years, in 2009, my first year coaching the team. “Our goal this season is to gain experience fast and improve. As far as the top contenders in our division go, I see Walpole, Franklin, Foxboro and Westwood battling it out. They’re all traditionally strong.’’

The breakdown of the 16-man roster shows eight players from KP, four from Xaverian and one each from Foxboro, Millis, Bishop Feehan and Milton Academy.

“I preach strong defense,’’ Lagos said. “We’ll be a scrappy team that will focus on one at-bat at a time and one base at a time.

We’ll rely more on singles and doubles than power.’’

Another Successful Season for KP Lacrosse

By Christopher Tremblay Staff Sports Writer Last spring first year Coach Jacob Kravitz guided King Philip’s boy’s lacrosse team to a 16-4 record, but fell in the first round of the Division 1 South Tournament to Catholic Memorial. This year the Warrior’s record wasn’t as good finishing 13-7 overall and grabbing third place in the Kelley Rex Division of the Hockomock League behind Franklin and North Attleboro.

The 13 wins earned King Philip another visit to the state tournament where this year they defeated Marshfield before falling to Duxbury in the Quarter Finals.

Although the Warriors did not win as many games as the year earlier, they did manage to do better in the state tournament.

“Finishing 13-7 this season was a 3 game swing from what we did last year in terms of wins and losses, but I’d much rather win a playoff game than have a better win/lose record,” the second year coach said. “We played a much harder schedule this year and challenged ourselves. I think 16 or 17 teams on our schedule made the tournament in one division or another.”

Offensively senior attack Brandon King was the Warriors leading scorer this season netting 53 goals and 10 assists during the regular season which tied him for the most goals in the Hockomock League. He also added three goals in the Warriors first round win over Marshfield.

King, who plans on attending Clarke University where he’ll continue to play lacrosse, was also named to the Hockomock League All-Star team and compiled 141 goals during his KP career, landing himself as the second all time scorer.

Juniors Weston Narewski and Mike Riggs are the elder statesman of the defense. Riggs is usually matched up with the opponents’ leading scorer, while Narewski handles the team’s next best player. In addition to the two juniors, the KP defense also relies on a trio of sophomores in Conor Hung, Craig Kelleher and Steven Eaton, who was a Hockomock All-Stat honorable mention.

Eaton scoops up a lot of ground

(L to R) Nick Sajdak, Lukas Cepkauskas, Coach Jacob Kravitz, Brian Donahue, and Brandon King.

“During my first year as coach Brandon posted similar numbers scoring 57 goals,” Kravitz said.

“Although I’ve only coached him for two of his four seasons at KP, I’ve got to witness 110 of his 141 goals scored.”

Behind King in terms of goals was sophomore Tim Watson who notched 29 goals and 13 assists on the season. As a freshman Watson saw the bulk of his time with the junior varsity squad, but did manage to find the back of the net three times as a member of the varsity team. With King moving on Kravitz will be looking to Watson to take on an increased role next spring. Senior Lukas Cepkauskas was second on the team in total points scoring 25 goals and added 22 assists, which lead the team. King, Cepkauskas and Nick Sajdak are the Warrior’s tri-captains, with Sajdak leading the team in assists before he went down with an injury.

Although KP has many talented defenders, sophomore goalie Paul Macrina really put on a show.

In addition to being named to the Hock All-Star team, the second year player also led the league in total saves, save percentage (68.5) and goals against average (6.9).

He also made an incredible 20 saves against lacrosse powerhouse Duxbury in the Warrior’s Quarter Finals loss.

In front of Macrina Kravitz fields the team’s best asset – its defense.

“I firmly believe that our defense is the strength of our team and that five of our defenders can go on to play college lacrosse,” the coach said. “We should continue to be a good defensive team next year with five long poles and our goalie coming back.”

balls for the Warriors and is the guy who usually starts the King Philip transition. The sophomore is a dynamic player that can get the fast break, offensively or defensively, moving.

Having such a stellar group of defenders returning, Kravitz is going to have to rely on some of his players stepping it up to play

offense; whether that comes from the junior varsity squad or some of the midfielders moving to the attack position.

“There is a lot of youth on this team and they are going to be called upon to replace the seniors next year,” Kravitz said. “We have a deep bunch of middies that are close to being a point a game players and hopefully they’ll take the next step.”

Those athletes that have put up around 15 points during the 20-game season are junior attackers Anthony Truini, Harry Fallon, Liam Clifford and sophomore John Deluca, who has not accounted for as many points as the other three, but does play a two way role for the Warriors.

Sam Agricola was a midfielder for the good part of the season for King Philip, but was changed to an attacker when Sajdak went down with his injury. Agricola showed some offensive talent during his stint as an attacker netting 17 goals for the team.

According to Kravitz, while the team is losing some talented offensive threats in King and Cepkauskas, there is still a lot of talent and ability that will be returning next season and if those athletes can step up and take over the production of the departing seniors there is no doubt in his mind that King Philip will be back in the state tournament once again.

What Are Your Excuses for Not Investing?

We all make excuses. Most of the time, they’re pretty harmless.

But you could be hurting yourself if you make excuses for not taking action in some areas — and one of those areas is investing.

Not investing, or not investing enough, can have serious consequences. In fact, a lot of people are poorly prepared financially for retirement. Consider these figures from the Federal Reserve: The median retirement account value for individuals between 35 and 44 is just $42,700; for people 55 to 64, the corresponding figure is $103,000. These figures are frighteningly low, especially when retirement can easily last two or three decades.

In short, you need to invest.

So, what’s stopping you? Here are some common excuses: “I’ll do it later.” The longer you wait before you start investing, the less time you have to accumulate money, and the less likely it may be that you’ll achieve your goals, such as a comfortable retirement lifestyle. If you haven’t begun investing, do it today.

“I don’t have enough money to invest.” The cost of living is unquestionably high, and you may feel that you have just enough money to pay your bills before your next paycheck. But if you look for ways to economize, you may well be able to free up even a little money to invest each month.

And then, when your salary goes up, you can increase the amount you invest.

“I’ll have Social Security.” Social Security benefits generally account for only about 40% of an individual’s pre-retirement income, according to the Social Security Administration. Unless you want to scale back your lifestyle greatly during your retirement years, you’ll need to supplement Social Security with your employer-backed retirement account, such as a 401(k), plus your own investments, such as those that go inside an IRA. “Can I really invest enough money for my retirement?” Consider this: Going back to 1990,

if you had invested $10,000 in the stocks that make up the S&P 500, and simply held on to these stocks, you would have amassed more than $76,000 after taxes by the end of 2013. Of course, past performance of the market is not a guarantee of how it will perform in the future, and the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not meant to depict an actual investment — but this illustration still shows that patient, diligent, longterm investing can produce positive results.

“I don’t know where to begin.”

If you work for a company that provides a retirement plan such as a 401(k) or something similar, you’ve already got a great place to

begin. You only need to sign up for the plan and start deferring a part of your salary, and you’re an investor. It’s also quite easy to open an IRA, another popular retirement savings account. In any case, if you have doubts about how to get started investing, you will find it valuable to meet with a qualified investment professional.

Don’t let excuses get in the way of developing good investment habits. With time, determination and effort, you can overcome many of the obstacles you thought prevented you from becoming a full-fledged investor.

new techniques, meet new friends and develop confidence, while also learning safety skills that can save lives.

Swimming is a fun and enjoyable activity for children and adults alike, and it’s an easy way to stay physically active and improve strength, flexibility and stamina.

YMCAs across the state are committed to providing as many opportunities as possible for everyone to swim and learn water safety practices.

As part of National Water Safety Month, Massachusetts YMCAs encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s safety. Following are safety tips to practice when in and around the water: • Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone.

• Adults should constantly and actively watch their children.

• Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guardapproved life jacket.

• Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach.

• Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities.

In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation, and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high selfesteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with winning and losing.

As a leading nonprofit committed to youth development, the Y has been a leader in providing swim lessons and water safety for more than 100 years. The Y continues to help youth and adults experience the joy and benefits of swimming, so they can be healthy, confident and secure in the water.

There are a variety of programs to choose, including swim lessons for all ages, water fitness classes, competitive swimming, and family swim times. To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, financial assistance is available to those in need to help cover the costs.

The Hockomock Area YMCA offers swim programs at their branches in Franklin, Foxboro, and North Attleboro and will provide youth campers with daily swim lessons during the upcoming Summer Camp season.

About Hockomock Area YMCA: At the Hockomock Area YMCA, strengthening community is our cause. The Hockomock Area YMCA is an organization of men, women, and children sharing a commitment to nurture the potential of kids, promote healthy living, and foster a sense of social responsibility.

Our YMCA is committed to partnering and collaborating with others to create and deliver lasting personal and social change in the 15 communities we are privileged to serve. The Hockomock Area YMCA is a not-for-profit charitable cause-driven organization with facilities in North Attleboro, Foxboro, Franklin, and Mansfield.

Protecting Your Financial Records From Disaster

Among other worthy causes, July is Bioterrorism/Disaster Education and Awareness Month. With all of the unexpected happenings in the world, it is important that we are prepared for an emergency disaster. Take this time to educate yourself and your whole family on what to do in any type of disaster. Get a plan ready and have needed supplies handy if you ever need them.

Identification. If you suddenly find yourself standing in a pile of rubble that was once your home and your worldly possessions, establishing your identity will be of paramount importance.

Access to personal identification documents such as your Social Security card, driver’s license, marriage license, birth certificate, passport and any citizenship papers will help you quickly establish your identity and speed up the coordination of your efforts with insurance companies, construction contractors, bankers and other entities involved in rebuilding and

recovery.

Create a Backup Set of Records Electronically. Individuals and businesses should keep a set of backup records in a safe place. The backup should be stored away from the original set. Keeping a backup set of records - including, for example, bank statements, tax returns, insurance policies, etc. is easier now that many financial institutions provide statements and documents electronically, and much financial information is available on the Internet. Even if the original records are provided only on paper, they can be scanned, which converts them to a digital format.

Once documents are in electronic form, taxpayers can download them to a backup storage device, like an external hard drive, or burn them onto a CD or DVD. You should also consider online backup, which is the only way to ensure data is fully protected. With online backup, files are stored in another region of the country so if a hurricane or other natural disaster occurs in your area, documents remain safe.

Document Valuables. Another step you can take to prepare for disaster is to photograph or videotape the contents of your home, especially items of higher value. A photographic record can help prove the market value of items for insurance and casualty loss claims. Photos should be stored with a friend or family member who lives outside the area, or in the above mentioned online backup solution. Such

proof can include photographs or videos of personal possessions; remember, digital cameras and camcorders make it possible to quickly and easily create a complete home inventory record.

Update Emergency Plans. Emergency plans should be reviewed annually. Personal and business situations change over time, as do preparedness needs. When employers hire new employees or when a company or organization changes functions, plans should be updated accordingly and employees should be informed of the changes.

Make sure you have a means of receiving severe weather information; if you have a NOAA Weather Radio, put fresh batteries in it. Make sure you know what you should do if threatening weather approaches.

We’re Here to Help. Rebuilding your life in the wake of a disaster is a daunting task. However, advanced preparation can go a long way toward making recovery easier. If you don’t have your documents in order, there’s no time like the present to get started. Once you have everything in its proper place, remember to update it. If you lack the time or energy to keep your files updated on an ongoing basis, schedule a yearly checkup and use it as an opportunity to put the latest version of everything into your files.

Even the most well-organized disaster recovery materials will be of no use to you if they are out-ofdate. Please contact my office for

your free “Emergency Planning Guide” today. This detailed guide will provide more in depth plans to help you protect your financial records from disaster.

King Philip Middle School Raises Money for Cancer Seventh graders at King Philip Middle School recently raised $10,152.71 for the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by participating in the education-based Math-A-Thon fundraiser. Every seventh grader completed 250 problems in the Math-A-Thon booklet, and 220 of the students also collected sponsors. The money raised will help St. Jude in its ongoing fight against childhood catastrophic diseases. Much of the work done by St. Jude supports children with cancer and their families.

The top fundraisers for KPMS were James Munn ($620); Jamie Sanislow ($320); Ryan Lacy ($285); Diego Cordero ($280); and Tristan Stephani ($275). Since 2007, KPMS has raised over $112,000 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital through the Math-A-Thon event.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.

St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC®, its fund-raising organization, through such events as the Math-A-Thon. For more information, please visit www.mathathon.org.
