Summer Reading Programs Keep Readers Engaged By Grace Allen The Norfolk and Wrentham public libraries are once again participating in the Massachusetts Library Association’s summer reading program. Children, teens, and even adults are encouraged to keep reading through the summer. According to Marissa Antosh, the Senior Youth Services Librarian at the Norfolk Public Library, summer reading should reinforce the reading skills children learned during the school year, avoiding the much-lamented “summer slide.” Said Antosh, “The idea behind summer reading is to reinforce those reading skills and weave reading into everyday life so it isn’t such a chore.” Summer reading programs let kids choose the books they want to read, instead of being told which books they have to read, which often happens dur-
ing the school year. Of course, no one needs a formal program to keep reading through the summer. Children and adults who love to read will always keep reading. Distractions abound, however, in our wired and connected world. So summer reading programs usually have incentives or prizes to keep kids motivated. And as any parent knows, incentives can go
a long way when trying to get kids to do something. When Antosh became the Youth Services Librarian in 2013, the summer reading prize was a book. She felt, however, that reluctant readers would not appreciate a book for a prize, so she changed the program to offer other incentives too.

Beauchaine has worked as principal in various Massachusetts school systems over the past 11 years. She has been a professional educator for 20 years, but did not originally plan to go into school administration. Her experience was working in the classroom, both regular classrooms and special education classes, K-8, in Reading, Newton, and Attleboro. She has been an administrator in Easton and Brookline. “I had initially thought that my desire to make a difference for students would not be realized unless I worked directly with children in the classroom,” she said. “I went into teaching not expecting to be a principal. I expected to be a teacher.” Because of the encouragement she received from the principal of the school she taught at in Attleboro, she attended a workshop for “aspiring principals” and soon she shifted her career from teaching in the classroom to working primarily

“In my 11 years as a principal, I’ve found the best way to serve a community is by learning more,” Vanessa Beauchaine, Ed.D, new principal at the Roderick School in Wrentham, said in a recent interview. Just a few days into the job when we spoke, she acknowledged that she had a lot to learn about Wrentham and its schools. But she’s already hard at work formulating a plan for how she will get up to speed and make a difference. “I’m excited to be working with a smaller leadership team; my former school district in Brookline was much larger,” she explained. “With the schools here being so close together, it’s much easier to meet face to face and work together more closely,” she continued. “Roderick School is not an island, it’s part of the Wrentham school system. I’m looking forward to working with school superintendant Dr. Allan Cameron, and Delaney school principal Ms. Colleen Wagstaff.”

FSPA Summer Theater Presents High School Musical Franklin, MA – Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) Summer Theater presents the Disney mega-hit High School Musical at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14. The culmination of FSPA’s annual two-week musical theater program, the production features students in grades 8-12 and will be staged at THE BLACK BOX, located at 15 West Central Street in downtown Franklin. A record-breaking, charttopping pop culture phenomenon, High School Musical is family friendly and full of fun. Based on the wildly popular 2006 Disney Chanel original movie musical written by Peter Barsocchini, the stage version features the hit songs “We’re All in This Together,” “Bop to the Top,” “Start of Something New,” and “Get’cha Head in the Game.” With high energy and winning style, the movie’s memorable characters come to life, as star athlete, Troy, falls for brainy beauty, Gabriella, the new girl at fictional East High. When the two audition for lead roles in their high school musical, they

threaten the status quo and divide the school’s social cliques. Along the way, these jocks, brainiacs, thespians, and skater dudes teach us about first love, peer pressure, and the importance of breaking free of others’ expectations and learning to be true to yourself. The stage adaptation of High School Musical features book by David Simpatico and songs by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil, Ray Cham, Greg Cham, Andrew Seeley, Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, Andy Dodd, Adam Watts, Bryan Louiselle, David N.

Page 6 SUMMER READING
continued from page 1
This year’s prizes at both libraries, in addition to books, include coupons for Dairy Queen, Nicky’s Restaurant, FroYo, iTunes gift cards, movie passes, and much more. Adds Antosh, “The teens are fans of the free Chipotle coupons.” Who knew a burrito could be an incentive to read? In addition to incentives, the Norfolk and Wrentham programs ask readers to keep track of the minutes they read, not the number of pages. “A reluctant reader doesn’t have to feel like they need to read so many pages to keep up,” said Antosh. According to the American Library Association, summer reading programs began in the 1890s as a way to keep youth in urban areas reading. (Their counterparts in the country were busy farming.)
Now many libraries also offer adult summer reading programs, too. In 2013, Norfolk Library Director Robin Glasser started the adult program at the library, reasoning busy adults need an incentive to relax and read, too. The hope was that while taking their children to pick out books, adults would peruse the shelves themselves. Said Antosh, “Adults who read are modeling a positive behavior for their children.” Liz Nadow, the Children’s Librarian at the Fiske Library in Wrentham, notes the summer reading program does not have a separate adult program but Marissa Antosh, the Senior Youth Services Librarian encourages families to at the Norfolk Public Library
read together instead. Summer reading programs usually include activities and events other than reading, in the hope of drawing in reluctant readers and showcasing the library itself as a fun and interesting place. Both libraries have a slew of events planned throughout the summer, including music, performances, crafts, and other interactive activities. Obviously, gone are the days when you had to be very quiet in the library. “The library is not just a building with books and computers. It’s also a place to be entertained and informed,” said Antosh. As a nod to current times, readers are free to use Kindles in the program, said both Antosh
August 1, 2015
and Nadow. “Magazines, graphic novels, and newspapers all count towards minutes read,” added Antosh. “Any reading is good reading!” Every year, summer reading programs are built around a theme, and this year’s theme is “Every Hero Has a Story.” The themes give structure to summer library programs, and encourage performances and activities around that theme. According to Antosh, the themes are developed by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). CSLP is a consortium of states that work together to create summer reading experiences. Massachusetts is one of those states. Summer reading programs and their related activities continue this month at both libraries. It’s not too late to stop in and participate or enjoy the planned events.

New Director for Charles River Chorale Nelson Also to Lead KP Chorus The Charles River Chorale is pleased to announce the appointment of Ashley F. Nelson as its new Chorale Director. With the retirement of Roy Kelley, Founding Director and Director Emeritus, who served as the Charles River Chorale’s Director for 30 years, the Chorale had mighty big shoes to fill. After an extensive search, Ashley was the clear choice given her experience, credentials and vision for the future of the chorale. “I am thrilled to begin this new chapter with Charles River Chorale as their music director. I look forward to a successful season filled with new relationships and wonderful music,” says Ashley. During her tenure as choral director at Hopkinton Middle School and Norwood High School, these choirs consistently achieved superior ratings at festivals and a record number of
students were accepted into District, MMEA All-State, and NAfME All-Eastern choirs. Along with her private music studio, she will begin a new position as choral director at King Philip Regional High School. Ashley, an accomplished composer, arranger, choral conductor/clinician, music educator and vocalist has both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music Education (vocal emphasis) from Boston University’s School for the Arts. She sang with the Boston University’s Chamber Choir and Symphonic Choir and was the music director and primary arranger for Terpsichore, BU’s premier all-female a cappella group. She was a member of, and did the arranging for Undertone, a Boston-based semi-professional a cappella group.
She has spent more than a decade on the MICCA Executive Board as Choral Festival Chairperson, and served as manager

for the MMEA All-State Chorus. Ashley has published articles in music educator journals, frequently presides and presents clinics at MMEA Conferences, and is a hired choral clinician & adjudicator. For the last 15 years, Ashley has been composing and arranging music. In 2004, she independently produced her own album, In My Room, showcasing her songwriting, piano, and vocal skills. Ashley has recently become interested in choral arranging and has several pieces published with Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Inc. Come Join Us! Formed in 1985, the Charles River Chorale is a non-audition group of adult singers. The Chorale attracts members throughout the Charles River watershed area, and from as far as Boston and Attleboro. Two concerts are performed each year, a Holiday Concert in December and Spring Concert in May. The Chorale has also participated in Millis’ Memorial Day celebrations, Tree Light-
ing ceremonies, as well as Medway Pride Day and many other civic occasions. Additionally, the group has performed with the Greater Marlboro Symphony Orchestra, the Claflin Hill Symphony, as well as participated in “A Community Chorus Festival” at the New England Conservatory along with many other groups from Massachusetts.

Is your Macular Degeneration Supplement Up To Date? By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a deterioration or breakdown of the eye’s macula. The macula is a small area in the retina that is responsible for your central vision, allowing you to see fine details clearly. There are two main types of age-related macular degeneration: The “dry” form of macular degeneration is characterized by the presence of yellow deposits, called drusen, in the macula. The “wet” form is caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels from the choroid underneath the macula. Those can leak blood and fluid into the retina, causing distortion of vision. If you have an advanced form of macular degeneration, you are probably taking vitamins and antioxidants supplements to help slow down the progression of this disease. More than a decade after the first Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) showed that taking daily high doses of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper can slow down the progress of AMD, a second study (AREDS 2) has revealed that adding certain antioxidants to the original formula does not provide any extra benefit to patients. Advanced AMD can lead to significant vision loss, and in the United States it is the leading cause of blindness. About 2 million Americans have advanced AMD; another 8 million are at risk. The first AREDS study was conducted by the National Eye
Institute and concluded in 2001. It showed that the original AREDS formula can reduce patients’ risk of the advanced form of AMD by about 25 percent. The formula helps protect people’s central vision, which is needed for reading, driving, recognizing faces and other daily activities. AREDS2, which concluded in 2011, tested several antioxidant nutrients that earlier research had suggested might protect the eyes: lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are produced by plants and are present in oily fish such as salmon. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, a class of plant-derived vitamins that also includes betacarotene, and are present in leafy green vegetables. The body uses these nutrients to maintain the health of the retina, the part of the eye that can be damaged by AMD. Participants in AREDS2 were assigned to take one of four different AREDS formulas daily for five years. The AREDS2 research team did find that two patient subgroups benefited from taking variants of the original AREDS formula. The risk of developing advanced AMD was reduced by about 18% in study participants who took the variant that included lutein and zeaxanthin but no beta-carotene, compared with participants who took the variant that had betacarotene but no lutein or zeaxanthin. And those participants whose diets were low in lutein and zeaxanthin at the start of the study, but who took a variant with lutein and zeaxanthin during the study, were about 25% less likely to de-

velop advanced AMD, compared with similar participants who did not take lutein and zeaxanthin. The researchers say that removing beta-carotene from the AREDS formula and adding lutein and zeaxanthin will result in a single formula that is safe and effective for all AMD patients. Until now, people who were current or former smokers could only use a formula that excluded beta-carotene, because it had been linked to risk of lung cancer for these patients. About half of AREDS2 participants were former smokers. Another recent AREDS report showed that the benefits of taking the AREDS formula appear to be long-lasting. Participants in the first AREDS study who took the original formula daily for five years continue to enjoy a 25% lower risk of developing advanced AMD. Most report that they are still taking the supplement. How about if I do not have AMD or an early stage of this disease? Should I take these supplements anyway? There’s no evidence the supplements help the vision of healthy adults or people with earlier stages of AMD. The best advice for most people is to eat a good balanced diet with plenty of leafy greens and fish. Such a diet is good for hearts, and it certainly can’t hurt your eyes. If you have an advanced form of AMD, you will find on your local pharmacy shelves supplements labeled “AREDS-2.” These are the updated supplements to look for.

Tips For A Healthy Home As a certified green remodeler, I’ve learned a lot over the years about designing and building healthy living homes. Green building and remodeling is not just about using less resources to build or building energy efficient structures-- it’s also about building happy and healthy living spaces. While this is fairly easy with new construction, it’s a lot more difficult when remodeling existing homes. There are millions of existing single family homes in the United States that were built anywhere from the 1700’s to the last couple of decades. The last thing most of us want to see is for the materials used for those homes to end up in landfills, so preserving and improving existing housing stock for future generations is an important job for homeowners and remodeling contractors alike. Planning a green remodeling project or home addition is a big job, and we’ll focus on that in another article. In the mean-time, there are many easy things you can do to ensure your home is as safe and healthy as possible. Go shoeless. Don’t wear the shoes you wear
outside inside your home. The germs and chemicals you’ll track in are just awful. The growing popularity of mudrooms has helped a lot with this, but even if you don’t have one, have an area to leave your outdoor shoes. It’s a good idea to have a few sets of indoor shoes or slippers, especially if you have any back, leg, or foot problems. Added bonus: Your floors will lasts a lot longer if you are not tracking dirt into them, which destroys the finish. Use natural cleaners and laundry detergents. Just read the label on most cleaners and you’ll be blown away by the number of chemicals you can’t identify---or even pronounce! Plus the warnings alone are enough to make you call 9-1-1 right away! Most folks overdo it with cleaners and other house hold “chemicals” such as clog remover or insecticides. There are great natural alternatives, so use them! Use natural toiletries. It’s bad enough we use toxic chemicals for cleaning, but to
puter schedule manager of choice. At the very least, add these items: Change batteries in all detectors in your home, make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors, have your heating and cooling system serviced at least once per year or more as needed, change the filters on your heating and cooling system per manufacturers recommendations (so many people neglect this!), have your chimney cleaned on a regular basis, and clean your gutters several times per year. bathe ourselves in chemicals and then put them all over our body each day is not a smart decision. Deodorants, toothpastes, hair products, shampoos, soaps, makeup, the list goes on! Consider products like Ava Anderson (avaandersonnontoxic.com). for all natural alternatives. Create a routine safety check list. Make a yearly checklist and add it to your calendar or your com-
Think about indoor air quality. Always. There are so many toxins in the air in most homes that it’s hard to know where to start. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can be found almost anywhere, from various paints, chemicals, and household items, to toys, foam in carpets and furniture-- the list goes on. Add to that mold which can vary greatly from home to home depending on conditions, and
you’ve got toxic air soup. To top it off, if your home was built before 1978, there could be lead paint in the home and even small amounts can be dangerous for small children. What to do? For starters, see the list above and get the chemicals out of your home. More importantly, have an indoor air quality expert visit your home for a thorough analysis and home check up. A qualified inspector can help you find trouble spots in your home ranging from damp basements to carpet and furniture that could be off-gassing dangerous chemicals. Contact me for a referral if this is something you need for your home. These are just a few tips to help you on the way to a happy and healthy home. There are myriad other things you can do, so this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

“behind the scenes” to help facilitate learning. Beauchaine has several very specific goals as she begins her new job as principal of Roderick School. “We all need to continue learning. I need to continue to be a more effective leader and my teachers need to continue honing their teaching craft.” And the pathway to these goals? “I learn through conversations with others, and by observing in the classroom. My ultimate goal is to be a support.” She explained, “I found that as a principal, I can support, encourage, coach, and lead in a way that can make a difference for children and for teachers. The centrality of the classroom is the most important--the work that takes place between and among teachers and students each day will have the greatest impact as we consider what is right for our students. Therefore much, but certainly not all of my work, happens behind the scenes as I take in information (what I am observing, what I am hearing, and what I am learning) and monitor how we are progressing toward our goals, providing the necessary support and direction by reflecting back what I am learning with the school community so we can work in concert with one another to move the school forward.” She continued, “There are other times when it is important for me to be out in front, and I’m comfortable with that role as well.” Beauchaine is looking forward to getting acquainted with the

entire school community in these early days of her new job here in Wrentham. “I want to talk with teachers, families, students, custodians, office staff, instructional aides, lunch staff. Some parents have already stopped by, and I’ve met some of our hard-working teachers who are already preparing their classrooms for the coming year.” The new principal has a helpful acronym to guide her decision making. “I use the acronym THINK to help me make decisions,” she explained. “I must be Truthful, Helpful, an Inspiration, Necessary and Kind. In all I do, I try very hard to THINK.” But Beauchaine is not always going to be behind the scenes, if her experience in other schools is any indication. “My training at Colby College was in music,” she pointed out. “I’m primarily a vocalist, and I also play electric bass,
flute and piano. In my previous school I played my electric bass along with our 6th grade chorus. I’m looking to find a balance between work and my personal life. I believe that music can help me with that.” Beauchaine has lived in several of the communities where she has worked. “I’m a Wrentham resident. My family moved here last November, and when the opportunity came up, I had to apply for this principal’s position. I love to serve in the community in which I live.” Look for Vanessa Beauchaine to be out and about, walking her dog on local trails, getting better acquainted with the community, and seeking to provide support to those around her who can make the difference. Best to you as you begin this new work at Roderick School, Principal Beauchaine!

Medical Savings Plan Used for Weight Loss Program Having the advantage of his medical savings plan to cover the costs to join New England Fat Loss (NEFL) was a great bonus but not the primary influence for John Ford joining the weight loss program. With his first grandchild due in November, and warnings from his doctor of the dangerous physical consequences of excess pounds, Ford felt an urgency for a healthier life. In a physical the week before he joined NEFL, Ford’s doctor suggested medications to regulate his cholesterol and blood sugar levels to add to his blood pressure prescription. He was extremely uncomfortable with the thought of taking additional medications. He remembered reading a NEFL article that talked about the results one patient had where his weight loss resulted in the reduction of medications he had to take. Ford asked his doctor for some time to see if losing weight might help him reduce his symptoms. “I said, give me 50 days, and he said ok, you’ve got 50 days,” Ford said. On April 23, Ford joined NEFL. “I needed to do something and this type of approach resonated with me,” Ford said. “Part of my logic was, I can probably stand on my head for 40 days, if I can’t do something like that [NEFL], there is something tragically wrong.” The 58-year-old could and did commit to 40 days and lost an im-
pressive 28 pounds. In fact, at the time of this interview, Ford has dropped a total of 36 pounds! The Hopedale resident was thrilled with the results, and revisited the doctor almost two months later as promised. “It was literally 50 days later and I was in his office and the first thing he said to me is, ‘Wow, you kicked ass!’ Ford said. “My blood pressure was 100/70 and the medication was working too well and he took me off. My cholesterol levels were now well within range and I am no longer pre-diabetic.” Ford’s commitment to his health, as well as the support of the NEFL program and staff all contributed to his successful weight loss. During Phase I, he was in daily contact with Dr. John to guide him through obstacles and plateaus and received a tremendous education on his personal metabolism. “I would text the doctor every day and within a half hour he would respond with encouragement or adjustments,” Ford said. I am thrilled I did it, and kicking myself that I did not find it earlier.” Don’t look back, look forward and visit one of New England Fat Loss’ two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton.

LIVING HEALTHY A Berry Bonanza at Local Farms By Grace Allen Local u-pick farms are harvesting blueberries right about now, and apples are not far behind. The area is lucky to have several farms with u-pick operations. If you don’t mind working in the sun and getting your hands dirty, u-pick farms are a great way to get upclose and personal with your food, as well as teach your kids where food really comes from. The growing eat local and farm-to-table movement have spurred interest in u-pick farms. All farmers say they are busy with a steady stream of people willing to work a bit for their food. Despite the record-breaking snowy winter, crops are doing well, said area growers. According to Peg Morse, co-owner of The Big Apple in Wrentham, the snow acted as good insulation for the berry plants. And the consistent cold was better than fluctuating temperatures, added Morse. Laura Tangerini, of Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm in Millis, agreed. “This year’s blueberry
crop is the best we’ve ever had, and the apple crop looks to be fabulous, too,” said Tangerini. The local farms grow many varieties of highbush blueberries, such as Patriot, Jersey, Bluecrop, and Blueray. Aside from their differing harvest times and sizes, each berry has a slightly different flavor, said Paul Newton, owner of Jane and Paul’s Farm in Norfolk. According to Tangerini, “If you have a refined palate, you can definitely taste the difference” between the varieties of blueberries. While July and August are typically the months to pick blueberries, some early apples are available by the end of this month, and definitely after Labor Day. If you’re looking for an activity to do with the kids, or maybe just want some extra-fresh produce in your summer meals, check out the following local farms and enjoy nature’s bounty while you can. Jane and Paul’s Farm, Norfolk This friendly, family-owned farm features an indoor farmstand with fresh eggs, produce, and plants for sale. Pack a lunch and let the goats,

chickens, and rabbits entertain the kids after picking. U-pick strawberries are available in June, followed by blueberries in July and August. Apple picking starts around Labor Day, and be sure to visit the pumpkin patch and corn maze later in the fall. Open 9-6 every day, cash or checks only. 33 Fruit Street, Norfolk, 508-528-0812. The Big Apple, Wrentham Since 1950 the Big Apple has been a mainstay in the area, offering farm-fresh produce to residents and visitors. In addition to u-pick blueberries, raspberries, and apples, visitors can shop the farm store for fresh produce, baked goods, and other treats. Open daily 9-5, cash or checks only. 207 Arnold Street, Wrentham 508-3843055. Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm, Millis Although established in 1995, the farm currently known as Tangerini’s has been around since the 1800s. Boasting a farmstand with organic produce, ice cream, and space for special events, Tangerini’s has grown quickly. U-pick options include blueberries, apples, tomatoes, and eggplant. Check out the walking trail, too. Open daily at 9 a.m. with various closing times, so it’s best to check their website or follow them on Facebook for updated information. Cash, checks, and credit cards welcome. 139 Spring Street, Millis, 508-376-5024. Gianetti’s U-Pick Blueberries, Franklin This Franklin institution has been around for 40 years, and is a favorite with residents. Open only two days a week, this farm is all about the blueberries. Like the other farms, their blueberry varieties ripen at different times, so a steady supply should be available through the end of the month. Call ahead or check their Facebook page for updates, and bring your own containers. Open 8-4 on Fridays and Saturdays, cash or checks only. 557 Union Street, Franklin, 508-528-9430.

Keeping our bones healthy is a vital part of aging. Osteoporosis literally means “porous bone” and is a disease where too little bone is made, too much bone is lost, or a combination of both, resulting in less dense and weaker bones. According to the National Osteoporosis Society, one in every two women and one in every five men over the age of 50 will fracture a bone due to osteoporosis. In fact, osteoporosis is a silent disease and often isn’t diagnosed until a bone is fractured. Keys to Preventing Osteoporosis… To reduce the likelihood of developing osteoporosis, it is important to live a healthy lifestyle combining: • Eating right- Foods high in calcium, such as dairy and green leafy vegetables, are an im-
portant part of a healthy diet to support strong bones. • Getting plenty of physical movement and exercise- Recent studies have reported that physical activity may stimulate bone formation and increase bone mineral density and strength. The best types of exercise are ones with light impact as well as some resistance for strengthening. A thirty minute walk or jog a day,
along with muscle strengthening exercises 2-3 times a week, is recommended. The best way to strengthen is to use your body weight as resistance. Weight bearing exercises such as bridges, mini squats, wall pushups, or exercises on your hands and knees do this well. Adding balance exercises (such as yoga moves and tai chi)
will also help with fall prevention, therefore, keeping your bones safe from fractures. • Supplementing with key vitamins and minerals - Diets lacking the needed calcium will require a Calcium supplement. Other essential vitamins and minerals (such as Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, and Magnesium) are much harder to get through diet and a dietary supplement is necessary.

Sports MacDonagh Catches On By Christopher Tremblay Staff Sports Writer Since the age of 14, Alex MacDonagh has been a fixture for the Norfolk American Legion behind the plate and although not an All Star-caliber player when he first landed the starting job, he has continued to work to become one. “Usually you’re apprehensive about a 14-year old being your starting catcher, but you could see his desire to get better and his work ethic allowed me to put him behind the plate right away,” Norfolk American Legion Coach Bill Lagos said. “He’s a fabulous catcher, who has had to work with a lot of inexperienced pitchers and has done a phenomenal job blocking balls in the dirt. I don’t know if there is anyone better than he is.” The Norfolk resident, who attended Milton Academy and is headed to the University of
Miami this fall, began playing baseball at the age of 6 and it wasn’t until four years later that he picked up a catcher’s mitt. “Once I tried playing catcher, I didn’t want to leave. I loved the fact that I was involved in just about every play and had command of the field (directing fielders, communication),” MacDonagh said. “It was during my AAU years that I started to realize that I was making progress as a catcher due to the fact that I had a lot of good coaches around me.” During his first year at Milton Academy, the Norfolk resident earned a spot on the freshman team and moved up to the junior varsity program before finally graduating to the varsity team during his junior campaign. “High school baseball is special as your teammates are your classmates and you see one another on

awarded him the starting catcher position. “It was a little difficult at first being thrown right into the fire that year. I’ll say it was definably an interesting and new experience,” MacDonagh said. “Unlike high school, there is a diversity of talent; we had a couple of college pitchers throwing to a freshman and boy was my left hand sore that summer catching them. Coach Lagos not only trusted me
a regular basis,” he said. “Together you’re building that confidence in one another’s skills with everyone playing for each other, there are no divided goals.” Although a first year player at Milton Academy on the freshman team, such was not the case that summer when he not only played his way onto Post 335’s roster, but also learned Coach Lagos had

but inspired me to come back to the program and in doing so I believe that I got a lot better.” While his defensive skill behind the plate was good enough to get him through the first season with Norfolk, his batting left much to be desired. “My batting was not up to par, I was nowhere where I needed to be that first year,” MacDonagh recalls. “In fact, that year my av-

erage was embarrassingly low and my hitting was just not happening. I didn’t even have the consistency of lining out hard; instead all I was getting was a little blood here and there for hits.” Having classified himself as an embarrassment to his teammates at the plate, the Norfolk catcher decided to work on his hitting by going to the batting cages as much as he could and by joining a team during the fall. “Through the years you can see that he has not only improved at the plate, but has stepped up as a leader on this team,” Lagos said. “Early in his legion career he was batting in the lower half of the lineup (seventh, eighth or ninth), but now he’s hitting anywhere from second to fourth and has the power to hit there.” MacDonagh has seen his hitting improve over the past few years and knows that because he now has the power and bat speed to make contact on a consistent basis he is deserving of hitting in the heart of the Norfolk lineup. As he heads south to college this fall, where he’ll double major in Marine Science and Biology with a possibility of leaning toward pre-med, the Norfolk resident most likely will not be playing baseball for the Hurricanes. “As much as I would love to play baseball there I don’t see myself breaking into their lineup as they’ve got a lot of talented athletes there,” he said. “I will most likely play on a club team, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up on trying to play baseball there, even if I can make the team as a bullpen catcher I’d take it.” Through the years MacDonagh has noticed a majority of his coaches have played local amateur baseball and it is something that he foresees himself doing in the future just to keep baseball in his blood.

Sports Geuss Stepping Up As New KP Volleyball Coach By KEN HAMWEY Staff Sports Writer Kristen Geuss is the right person at the right time to be coaching the girls varsity volleyball team at King Philip Regional. Geuss, who coached the Warriors’ jayvee girls for the last five years, has replaced Tim Layman who stepped down after his work schedule changed. The 49-year-old Geuss has plenty of experience — both as a player and a coach. She played volleyball, basketball and softball at Saugerties, N.Y., High School then continued with volleyball when she enrolled at SUNY-Cortland, a Division 3 state college in New York. After earning her degree in physical education, she worked on her masters at Purdue University, majoring in phys-ed and health. As her husband moved around the country in his job, she turned to teaching and coaching, and directed volleyball teams in Canandaigua, N.Y., East Stroudsburg, Pa., and Winters, Calif. “I coached jayvee teams and was a varsity assistant,’’ said Geuss,
who’s lived in Wrentham for the last 14 years. “I also coached the Metrowest Junior Volleyball Club in Wrentham for a year. Coaching the KP girls this fall will be my first experience directing a varsity team.’’ That task shouldn’t be a problem, considering that Geuss (pronounced Gurse) led the KP jayvess to a 73-23 record the last five years. Last season’s team rolled to a 20-0 record and her mark for the last two seasons was 38-2. “At the junior varsity level, I strived to help the girls become competitive,’’ Geuss noted. “We developed their ability by stressing fundamentals and developing good attitudes. We also worked on helping our kids build character, to be good teammates and good people and for them to establish tradition in the program.’’ Geuss doesn’t expect a difficult transition to the varsity, primarily because just about every volleyball player in the last five years has
played for her. “It should be a smooth transition,’’ she said. “I’m familiar with the kids and they know what to expect. However, when a new person becomes head coach, there has to be some change.” The girls who’ve played for Geuss will be acutely aware that her style will focus on effective serving and crisp passing. “If we execute those two functions well, then we’ll be a formidable offensive team,’’ she emphasized. “KP’s varsity has won the Hockomock League title the last two years and our goals won’t change. We’ll work to win the league crown, qualify for tourney play and go deep in the playoffs.’’ Four returning players who could form a key portion of Geuss’ nucleus are Gwen Uyrus and Josie Rowean, a pair of hitters, and Micaela Murray and Francesca Tonelli, two back-row players. All four are seniors. “There will be a strong group of junior varsity players who’ll
be battling for positions,’’ Geuss emphasized. “I’m very passionate about volleyball and I want our players to love it, too. I prefer they play in the off-season and put 100 percent effort into the sport.’’ Players will learn very quickly that their new coach has plenty of attributes that will help them to be better competitors. “I’ve always maintained that a coach is a teacher first,’’ Geuss noted. “I’ll be approachable and I’ll be a good listener. But, I’ll also have high expectations and be very tuned in to continuing KP’s winning tradition in volleyball. I’ll be a good communicator but each girls will learn that they’ll have to earn a spot on the team.’’ Geuss has a vibrant connection with KP and it isn’t strictly about her years as the jayvee coach. Her daughter Amanda played volleyball and ice hockey and her son Clayton currently is a member of the soccer team and ice hockey
squad. And, it was Geuss, along with other parents, who lobbied the athletic department and the administration to start a girls ice hockey program. “There were many people involved who helped make that program a reality,’’ Geuss said. “Some of us had middle-school-aged girls playing for the Walpole Lady Rebels club team. We also got a lot of support from Bob Piotti, the former boys ice hockey coach; athletic director Steve Schairer; and former superintendent Richard Robbatt.’’ That program jelled quickly and attained tournament status last year. When it comes to volleyball, however, Geuss is eager to get started. “I love the KP community and I’m honored and privileged to be coaching the girls,’’ she said. “I’m really excited about coaching the team in the coming season.’’

Goodbye, Child Care Costs ... Hello, College Savings Opportunities If you’re a working parent, you know firsthand about the difficulties of finding quality, affordable care for your children. But eventually, your kids head off to school, and those child care bills go away, or at least diminish greatly. When that happens, you could start putting away money for another one of your children’s milestones: college. Just how expensive is child care? Costs vary greatly among the 50 states, but the national average for a 4-year-old at a child care center is approximately $7,880 per year, according to Child Care Aware of America, a child care resource and referral agency sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. What could you do with this money once your child enters kindergarten? Of course, not all schools provide all-day kindergarten, so you still may have some child care costs. For the purposes of illustration, let’s presume you can finally say “goodbye” to child care costs when your child is in first grade, and let’s also assume your child is attending a public school. If you invested that $7,880 every year for 12 years, until your child reaches 18, you could accumulate more than $150,000 in a tax-advantaged college savings account, such as a
529 plan — assuming the money was placed in a hypothetical investment that earned 7% per year. (Keep in mind, though, that the word “hypothetical” means exactly that, because whenever you put money in any variable investment, there are no guarantees.) Actually, earnings in a 529 plan accumulate and are distributed tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty on the earnings.) Also, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility. A 529 plan offers other benefits, too. For one thing, the lifetime contribution limits are generous; while these limits vary by state, some plans allow contributions well in excess of $200,000. And a 529 plan is flexible: If your child decides against college or vocational school, you can transfer the unused funds to another family member, tax and penalty free.
A 529 plan is a widely used choice for college savings, but it is not your only option. You could also consider a Coverdell Education Savings Account, which, like a 529 plan, can generate tax-free earnings if the money is used for higher education expenses. You can typically only put in a maximum of $2,000 per year to a Coverdell account, but it lets you use the funds on K-12 and college expenses. Whichever college-savings vehicle you choose, it will take discipline on your part to continue investing in it, year after year. And after freeing yourself from those child care bills, you can certainly think of other ways to use this “found” money. That’s why you might want to automatically move money from your checking or savings account to your 529 plan, Coverdell account or other investment earmarked for college. As your income rises over the years, you can increase the amount of these automatic transfers. In any case, once those child care bills stop, you can put that money to work on your children’s behalf. Make the most of this opportunity. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Did you know? Parents have long relied on coupons to help them reduce the cost of raising their families. While it might once have been necessary to scan grocery store circulars and break out the scissors to take advantage of store discounts, more and more consumers are now turning to digital coupons offered via their mobile devices to save money. According to eMarketer, a firm
that covers digital marketing, media and commerce, the number of adults who redeem coupons via their mobile devices is expected to rise to roughly 104 million people by 2016. That’s a significant uptick from the number of digital couponers in 2014, when a little more than 78.5 million adults took advantage of digital coupons offered via their mobile devices. The
growing popularity of mobile coupons has sparked increased interest among marketers, as eMarketer projects that 44.5 percent of marketers will offer mobile coupons in 2016, compared to just 36.5 percent in 2014. Families looking to save money on their next shopping trip would be wise to take their mobile devices along with them.

Paying Off Debt the Smart Way Try not to be discouraged! Remember, you’re going to break this down into manageable chunks while finding extra money to help pay it down.
Being in debt isn’t necessarily a terrible thing. Between mortgages, car loans, credit cards, and student loans - most people are in debt. Being debt-free is a great goal, but you should focus on the management of debt, not just getting rid of it. It’s likely to be there for most of your life - and, handled wisely, it won’t be an albatross around your neck. You don’t need to shell out your hard-earned money for exorbitant interest rates, or always feel like you’re on the verge of bankruptcy. You can pay off debt the smart way, while at the same time saving money to pay it off faster. Know Where You Are First, assess the depth of your debt. Write it down, using pencil and paper, a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel, or a bookkeeping program like Quicken. Include every financial situation where a company has given you something in advance of payment, including your mortgage, car payment(s), credit cards, tax liens, student loans, and payments on electronics or other household items through a store. Record the day the debt began and when it will end (if possible), the interest rate you’re paying, and what your payments typically are. Add it all up, painful as that might be.
Identify High-Cost Debt Yes, some debts are more expensive than others. Unless you’re getting payday loans (which you shouldn’t be), the worst offenders are probably your credit cards. Here’s how to deal with them. Don’t use them. Don’t cut them up, but put them in a drawer and only access them in an emergency. Identify the card with the highest interest and pay off as much as you can every month. Pay minimums on the others. When that one’s paid off, work on the card with the next highest rate. Don’t close existing cards or open any new ones. It won’t help your credit rating. Pay on time, absolutely every time. One late payment these days can lower your FICO score. Go over your credit-card statements with a fine-tooth comb. Are you still being charged for that travel club you’ve never used? Look for line items you don’t need. Call your credit card companies and ask them nicely if they would lower your interest rates. It does work sometimes! Save, Save, Save Do whatever you can to retire debt. Consider taking a second job and using that income only for higher payments on your financial obligations. Substitute free family activities for high-cost ones. Sell high-value items that you can live without. Do Away with Unnecessary Items to Reduce Debt Load Do you really need the 800-channel cable option or that dish on your roof ? You’ll be surprised at what you don’t miss. How about magazine subscriptions? They’re not terribly expensive, but every penny counts. It’s nice to have a library of books, but
consider visiting the public library or half-price bookstores until your debt is under control. Never, Ever Miss a Payment Not only are you retiring debt, but you’re also building a stellar credit rating. If you ever move or buy another car, you’ll want to get the lowest rate possible. A blemishfree payment record will help with that. Besides, credit card companies can be quick to raise interest rates because of one late payment. A completely missed one is even more serious. Do Not Increase Debt Load If you don’t have the cash for it, you probably don’t need it. You’ll feel better about what you do have if you know it’s owned free and clear. Shop Wisely, and Use the Savings to Pay Down Your Debt If your family is large enough to warrant it, invest $30 or $40 and join a store like BJ’s or Costco. And use it. Shop there first, then at the grocery store. Change brands if you have to and swallow your pride. Use coupons religiously. Calculate the money you’re saving and slap it on your debt. Each of these steps, taken alone, probably doesn’t seem like much. But if you adopt as many as you can, you’ll watch your debt decrease every month.

Town Hill Concert to Feature Music with an Eco-Friendly Twist By Grace Allen Johnny Fireseed & the Junkyard Dogs will be performing on Norfolk’s town hill on Thursday, August 6 at 6:30 p.m. Part of Norfolk Recreation’s Summer Concert Series, the concert is sponsored by the Norfolk Cultural Council and is made possible by a generous donation from the Norfolk Lions. This unique band performs on instruments made entirely from recycled and re-purposed materials, and their music promotes an “eco-message” of sustainability and awareness of the environment. Like Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch, this band loves trash. The upbeat, interactive performance will involve children from the audience. According to Rick Tedoldi, Chairperson of the Norfolk Cultural Council, it’s impossible to tell the band’s re-purposed instruments from the real thing. “You cannot tell the difference between
a Jamaican steel drum and the steel drum they use,” he said. “To look at it you wouldn’t believe it.” Dan Balter, co-founder of FireSeed Arts, said “Our goal as a band musically is to write and play honestly, in celebration of nature, and as a means of healing and expanding our connection to nature and each other. We share a unique
sound of joy, jubilation and new ways of thinking about waste and consumption.” The group appeared at Norfolk’s Community Day in June and Tedoldi is enthusiastic about the town hill performance and its tie-in with the Cultural Council. “This is something totally new and we hope it takes off,” said Tedoldi.

Wrentham Festival to Benefit Troops with PTSD
508-376-0800
Milliston Common, Millis MA Open: Tue 9-6, Wed 9-7, Thur 9-6, Fri 9-5, Sat 9-4
The 2nd annual Boots & Strings Food and Music Festival will take place at Lake Pearl Luciano’s on August 30 from 12 to 4 p.m. The event will raise money for musical therapy programs to help veterans with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Over 30 restaurants will offer tastes of their signature dishes, while bands will play during the event. The United States Marines and the New England Revolution will be among the organizations participating, with interactive areas for participants to complete missions or play games. In addition, there will be a children’s section with carnival games, slides, obstacle courses, bouncy houses, touch-a-military-truck, crafts, and face painting. This year the festival will feature a large memorial for deceased veterans, and each area of the festival will be
named after a fallen hero. The event is the brainchild of two organizations, Hero Helpers of America and Ernie Boch’s Music Drives Us. Hero Helpers of America was founded by Mansfield resident Lauren Eliopoulos to support U.S. troops and raise awareness of PTSD. Music Drives Us is a non-profit that supplies grants to organizations that use music as a tool to better the lives of people. The Boots and Strings Festival came to fruition as a way for Eliopoulos to support her brother, who is set to deploy to Afghanistan this summer for the second tour of his career. The inaugural festival raised over $30,000 in 2014, and organizers hope to top that this year. “Hero Helpers of America is looking forward to making this event memorable for each supporter that attends. Spreading awareness, and
ideally making an impact on the community while having a great time, is the best of both worlds. I’m looking forward to another spectacular day!” said Lauren Eliopoulos. Tickets are $25 for adults and $7 for children over the age of 6. VIP tickets are $60, which includes access to the VIP lounge as well as a gift bag, two drink tickets, two raffle tickets, and more. Gold star families are free. To submit the name of a fallen hero, apply for free tickets for a Gold Star family, or to learn more about the festival or either organization email: Lauren@HeroHelpersofAmerica.org. The official hashtag of the festival is #BootsandStrings2015.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Page Realty to Conduct Food Drive to Assist Local Food Pantries Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Page Realty will be collecting for local food pantries from August 3 - 11. Agents from their offices in Medway, Medfield and Wrentham will be leaving empty shopping bags in area neighborhoods with a flyer detailing the program. If you do not receive a bag and would like to participate, you may drop off items at any of their offices or call to arrange a pick-up. The announcement was made by Paul Rao, Broker-Owner of the 52-year-old firm. “We’ve been doing food drives for several years but primarily in the fall,” said Rao. “Food pantries really can use the help in the summer because children are home on vacation and have more meals at home. Donations also tend to slow in the summer.”
Some suggested items include cereal, tuna, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, sauces, soups and rice. Pantries also like to provide cake, cookie and brownie mixes, jello, spices and kid-friendly snacks to their clients. Donated food items should be checked to make sure they have not expired. Donations will be accepted between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm Monday – Saturday at any Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Page Realty office: 82 Holliston Street at Route 109 in Medway, 489 Main Street (Route 109) in Medfield and 26 Franklin Street (Route 140) in Wrentham.
