Fifth Annual Action for Jackson Car Show for a Cause Third Annual Kidde-Fenwal Relay for Life Motorcycle Ride September 20 Car Show September 12 By J.D. O’Gara
Event to Benefit Boston Children’s Hospital Leaves from Anthony’s on the Green By J.D. O’Gara Jackson is five-and-a-half years old. He loves Mason, his dog, and he’ll be going to the Placentino School, on the bus (wheelchair van), like all the other Holliston kids. He loves his family, including Wendy and Brian Bisazza, and his big brother AJ. He also loves Bruno Mars and the “Big Bang Theory” and he’s on a first-name basis with Meghan Trainor
The Fifth Annual Action for Jackson Motorcycle Ride will leave Anthony’s on the Green at 11 a.m. on September 20. The event, in honor of Jackson Bisazza, shown here with his dog, Mason, will benefit Boston Children’s Hospital.
and the folks at 104.1 FM. And he’s rocking his new brace, the one after his most recent surgery. He’s had 19 of them. He’s definitely a cool, tough little guy. Maybe that’s why he fits right in with the hundred or so leather-clad bikers who come to support Action for Jackson, a fundraising motorcycle ride in its fifth year from which 100% of the proceeds benefit Boston Children’s Hospital. The event will take place on Sunday, September 20, starting off at Anthony’s on the Green, 212 Prentice Street, Holliston. Registration starts at 10 a.m., and the ride leaves at 11 a.m. The cost is $20 per person ($15 ahead of time by contacting Wendy at wbisazza@ gmail.com), with kids under 4 free. “Jackson’s been through the gamut at Children’s for leg surgeries, and hip surgery,” says Brian Bisazza, referring to the femoral osteotomies, pelvic osteotomies and reconstructions that Jackson has had, some of which left him in full body casts for three summers. “We didn’t know he had Down Syndrome until the night he was born,” says Wendy. “Fortunately, his heart looked great, but at age two was the first time his hip dislocated. That began the nightmare.

It might be a 1966 Mustang convertible, or a 1941 Chevrolet pick-up, or maybe it will be a rebuilt hot-rod. One thing’s for certain, on September 12, from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. on the grassy grounds of Kidde-Fenwal at 400 Main Street in Ashland, is that you’ll see lots of love, care and detailing that went into a host of participating vehicles at Kidde-Fenwal’s Relay for Life Car Show, held to raise funds for the Relay of Life of Ashland and Holliston. “We knew nothing about running a car show when we started,” says Peter Kamitian, Relay for Life Team Captain for Kidde-Fenwal, a United Technologies Corporation company. “The first year we had 60 cars, last year we had 140 cars, and we will probably break 200 this year. We have a huge lawn area, and these guys love having grass as opposed to parking on a paved parking lot.” When it comes to raising money for the American Cancer Society, Kidde-Fenwal, which produces fire detection, suppression and temperature controls equip-

ment for commercial, industrial applications for over eight decades, doesn’t play around. They’ve been the top fundraising team for the Ashland/Holliston Relay for the last four years. In 2014, they raised over $26,000 for the cause, and so far in 2015, they’ve raised $31,230, with more matching donations still coming in. Kidde-Fenwal’s contribution accounted for over a third of the Ashland/Holliston Relay’s total fundraising in 2015, and they’ve already begun their fundraising events for the 2016 Relay. “The reason why we raise so much money is the backing we get from the employees in the company,” says Kamitian, “Our Ashland facility has about 300 employees, and it’s just hat’s off to the people of the company who make this thing work,” he says. The car show, says Kamitian, is one of the team’s biggest fundraiser. Participating vehicle owners may pre-register their cars or trucks for $15, or pay $20 if they join on the day of the show.

HIB Community Celebration a Great Success By Cherry Fenton Holliston in Bloom is appreciative of all friends who joined us for our Community Celebration on Thursday, July 23 to celebrate the hard work we had just finished for the America in Bloom competition. Two America in Bloom judges, Jack Clasen
and Kristin Pategas, spent two days touring Holliston. Local restaurants and businesses as well as individuals generously donated food and services to help make the evening a success. Community Champion Mark Ahronian was recognized by Selectman Jay Marsden, Representative Carolyn Dykema, and
Dennis Giombetti who was representing Senator Karen Spilka. Prana Center actors Claudia McMahone, Evie Simon, and Anna Damigella, gave a magical performance of the original Fiske’s family diary as written by Judy Grosjean, which portrayed the Fiske family as the first telephone operators when the store
was new. The Mudville Baseball Players also provided more of the evening’s entertainment with their wonderful singing and humor. The amazing chocolate raspberry cake was baked for us by former pastry chef George Caouette. Chef Caouette was in charge of the kitchen and was assisted by Holliston Leos
Trevor Pennypacker, PJ Donnelly, Medha Sthalekar and Jess Strzempko. The weather gods granted us perfect weather for the evening’s festivities. We find out our scores in September! Keep up with Holliston in Bloom at www.hollistoninbloom.org or via our Holliston in Bloom page on Facebook.

Education. Coaching. Support I have been a client for a little over a year now and the results I have seen in that time are like nothing I’ve ever tried before. I am 16 years old and struggled with severe acne for 6 years. Nothing I tried ever worked. I had seen countless dermatologists in that time and had practically given up hope that my acne would ever go away. My results began to show in just 3 months and now my skin skin is clear. - Maren

from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (rain date September 27). The event draws all types of crafters and vendors from all over the state, says Shirley Melle, member of the Holliston Historical Society since 1974 who has chaired the Harvest Fair for five years now. During the fair, 3-piece band Always in Season will provide musical entertainment. “Everybody loved them, so they’re coming again, this year,” says Melle. “There’s something for everybody.” Children’s activities will also provide some fun, including a bouncy house and petting zoo. Midday, visitors will be treated to tours of the historic Asa Whiting House (circa 1812), by Historical Society members in full period garb, and all can participate in a silent auction for pieces submitted by participating crafters. Bring your appetites, as well, because, as Melle says, “There’s a lot of food this year. There’s fudge and cannolis.” She points out that Robert Fecto’s Birch Tree Bread Company, which was a big hit with its scones, croissants and focaccia, will be returning, and Cutler Farm will be onhand with herbs, spices and fresh dips. Of course, the Historical Society’s famous pies will be for sale. Historical Society members bake these pies right before the Fair, so that

they are fresh. “People come from all around for our apple pie, and truthfully, I’ve never had a pie (outside my own) that I like better,” says Melle. As always, Melle points out that vendors come from far and wide, towns all over Massachusetts. “One of my new and exciting new vendors this year is a stained glass artist, Liza Ablelson (www. lizaabelson.com) of Dasken Designs,” says Melle, who accepts only artists offering handcrafted items in addition to some antiques. Last year, the event featured 75 vendors. One returning vendor makes beautiful, lyrical, whimsical wind chimes from household silver, while another sews doll clothes that
fit American Girl Dolls. There are fiber artists, selling beautiful hats and scarves, items by those who knit and crochet, as well as artists who feature their oil and watercolor art. Visitors can purchase handmade cards and even unique tiered dishes, as well as pillows, cut flowers and jam. One artist makes cool name trains, and one vendor makes soaps and creams with no harmful additives. Melle says two new vendors will sell great ceramic pieces. The interesting mix makes for great conversation as well as a unique gift or household item. For example, says Melle, one crafter,

Put Your Acne On Ice Lisa Massimiano, Licensed Esthetician, Certified Acne Specialist, Owner Skin Smart Salon Acne can present on the face in different ways. You can have non- inflamed acne, which consists of bumps under the skin and open, clogged pores, commonly referred to as black heads. You can have inflamed acne or, most often, a combination of the two. The type of acne you have and the severity of it depends on the genetic makeup of your unique skin. Inflamed acne is probably what most people think of as acne. It presents on the face as red, angry looking lesions and white headed pustules sometimes sore to the touch. It can also appear on the back and
chest. Although, inflamed acne can look more debilitating than non- inflamed, with the right treatment, it often clears more quickly. In addition to using appropriate home care products, here are some easy things you can do to help get inflamed acne under control. • Ice your face 1 to 2 minutes every day. The ice reduces inflammation and calms the skin. It soothes painful lesions and helps them heal faster from the inside out, minimizing the risk of scars. • Take daily Zinc and Omega 3 Fish Oil supplements. The anti-inflammatory properties in these supplements help reduce the severity of cysts and inflamed lesions.
• Try to keep you skin cool, heat inflames the follicles and irritates inflamed lesions. • Be aware of straps, head bands, baseball caps, anything that rubs against the skin. The friction on your skin can irritate inflamed acne. There is no quick fix to clear acne, but it can be managed with correct home care, professional treatments and modified life style choices. Questions about acne? Call me at (508) 881-1180 or email me at skinsmartsalon@aol.com. Visit my website skinsmartsalon. com for information on my acne clinic and other services.

In addition to crafts, the Historical Society’s Harvest Fair will feature vintage jewelry and vintage collectibles, including vintage dolls. Melle says she limits the amount of jewelry booths, but the ones at the fair will offer something

unique, such as leather jewelry and copper jewelry, in addition to the vintage.

How Pro Athletes Leave Sports and Enjoy the Game of Life.

They repaired his hips, his hips look good, but now it’s his knees and ankle,” says Wendy. “They said it was going to be a while before he would walk out with (the new brace), but he walked out of the hospital. He is a much stronger person than any of us. We think ‘it’s not fair,’ but he doesn’t see a problem with it,” she adds. Jackson’s Mom refers to the surgeries he has needed because, with Down Syndrome, in Jackson’s case the most common, Trisomy 21, in which there is a third copy of the 21st chromosome, can cause very low muscle tone, which can lead to dislocations in the joints when he is at rest. The Bisazzas have therefore spent a lot of time at Boston Chil-

dren’s Hospital, and although, the first year, Action for Jackson began in support of the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Council (MDSC), Children’s Hospital has grown close to the family’s heart. “We’ve spent so many months in that hospital. Your insurance pays for a lot of things, but a lot of the things they do there rely on donations and fundraising, so we decided to switch it over and give to Children’s,” says Brian. The Bisazzas explain that because kids with Down Syndrome can have myriad health issues, like heart problems, thyroid issues and a proneness to leukemia, they have to see many different doctors. Boston Children’s Hospital, they say, has coordinated this care, so patients with Down Syndrome see all the various physicians who attend them, cardiologists, endocrinologists and others, on the same day. “The great thing about their Down Syndrome program, where ideally this money ends up, is we go in for a day and we see every doctor – the dentist, the eyes, the ears, instead of spending every week, but you get everything done in a day,” says Wendy, who has cut costs in her fundraising effort this year to maximize the amount raised for Children’s. “Every year it’s getting bigger

and bigger, which is great,” says Wendy. Former rides had taken place from the Medway V.F.W., but this year, the event will take off from Anthony’s on the Green, at 212 Prentice Street, Holliston, Jackson’s hometown. Michael Fico, the owner, who has experience running such events with the Franklin Elks, approached the Bisazzas. “It’s neat, because it’s in Holliston, which is great,” says Wendy. The scenic route, say the Bisazzas, is planned by volunteer Dave Aldrich. The 45-minute to an hour sojourn leads to Cady’s Tavern, in Pascoag, RI, In addition to the ride, Action for Jackson will have a buffet lunch, face painting, and great raffles. Local businesses, say the Bisazzas, have been very supportive. For example, Lista, where Wendy used to work, donates a great tool cabinet each year. Chat Noir Nail Studio, in Medway, donated $5 every time a client ordered Jackson’s favorite color during the month of August, and they donate to the raffle as well. Wendy says local businesses are so generous that three or four buffet tables will be filled with raffle prizes. The Bisazzas say they want to give back to Children’s and to friends, family and community

that have been very supportive of them each time they’ve needed them. They also can’t say enough about the accommodations provided by Holliston Public Schools. In addition to the motorcycle run, the Bisazzas also host medical students each semester, to help teach the potential doctors about the child and family behind the
diagnosis of Down Syndrome. “(Jackson) has changed me, “ says Brian. “I’m a different person because of him.” Wendy agrees, adding, “He inspires me, every single day, and the person AJ has become because of his brother is unbelievable. People fall in love with him wherever we go.”

The Right Tutors to Take Students the Extra Mile “Not college material.” That was how Dr. Steven Perryman, Optometrist and owner of Hopkinton Vision Center for 16 years, was described as a young person making his way through high school. “I didn’t have any interest in school at all,” says Dr. Perryman. “My guidance counselor told my parents ‘Steven is not college material. You should not concentrate on educating him in the future, and my parents believed it.’” After graduating high school, Dr. Perryman spent two years as a lobster fisherman in the summer, unloading trucks in the winter, jobs he soon realized he did not want to do when he was 60. He pursued community college, going on to attain his Bachelor’s Degree, and finally, his Doctorate of Optometry. “I don’t want any other child to face that false perception, simply because they perform poorly,” says Dr. Perryman. “With the right tutors, with the right motivation, I think any child is capable and can do anything he or she wants.” That’s why this fall, Dr. Perryman will open Extra Mile Tutoring on the 2nd floor of 31 Granite Street, in Milford. This month, the service will host two open houses for parents and students to learn more. These open houses will take place on Thursday, September 24th, from 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, September 26, from 1-3 p.m. Visitors can take a look at four private tutoring rooms equipped with a computer, table and chairs and casual area. These include a math room, a reading room, a history room and an English room, as well as a sizeable recreation room, great for those students attending longer sessions or who are waiting for parents to pick up. “This is personal to me,” says Dr. Perryman. “I want to find children who have been told the same thing I was told and link them up

CatCh up or Get ahead tutorinG with a tutor that can inspire them to be the best they can be.” Extra Mile Tutoring, located right across from Fino Field in Milford, will begin its focus on students in grades 3-8, says Dr. Perryman, himself a married father of two young boys. Students can choose one- or two- hour sessions, mainly from 3-8 p.m. weekdays, with weekend hours available. Qualified tutors will be available to any child in this age range from local towns, says Dr. Perryman, who will also look to hire local high school students with an interest in education to serve as helpers to engage children. Having already spoken with local school superintendents and parents’ groups, Dr. Perryman hopes to offer introductory rates to family members of PTO groups. “We’ll offer everything from homework help to standardized testing tutoring,” he says. Extra Mile Tutoring will coordinate all of its efforts with local schools, soliciting parents’ permission to contact children’s teachers and providing weekly or monthly internal progress reports to keep parents informed of their child’s progress. “Rates will vary, and we’ll have some packages for those in financial hardship,” says Dr. Perryman. Extra Mile Tutoring will also offer a college scholarship program. Check the website, www.

attic or finished basement can provide a play area for the kids, a home gym space for workouts, a secluded office for increased productivity, or even a theater room for hours of entertainment for you and your family. The options are seemingly endless. Finishing the underutilized space you already have in your home provides the best value for increasing usable space within your home. Attic and basement finishing projects require careful consideration and planning and can be a challenging process due to the unique challenges these spaces present. The attic and basement are true “mixed-use” spaces, often housing home infrastructure systems, mechanicals, and necessary storage spaces. For this reason, it is imperative to have a team of home improvement specialists with years of experience on your side to ensure a successful outcome. Working with a design-build team and using a design-build approach lends itself beautifully to such projects and provides a true turnkey solution for your basement and attic refinishing needs. The sales team can help you through the budgeting process, the design team can design and carefully space plan while ensuring you maintain efficient and necessary storage, and the production team will deliver a finished space

There will also be a lemonade vendor, Lou Lou, and a pretzel vendor, Vinny’s Gourmet Pretzels. “100% of the proceeds is going to go to the American Cancer Society,” says Kamitian, who personally got involved with the Relay about six years ago, although Kidde-Fenwal has participated for about eight years. “Our DJ donates his time, the band donates their time, and we pick up the cost. You can bring your whole family to it.” Kamitian adds that the atmosphere is positive, because the folks who bring their vehicles to show “are the most down to earth people, so friendly.”

WEEI Producer Has Last Laugh with Weight Loss Radio listeners hear it all the time. Innovative bits and ribbing between the anchors and their producers. For one producer on the Dennis Callahan Morning Show, 93.7 WEEI FM, that perpetual joking turned into a lifechanging event. Craig Sawisch and a fellow producer were often
teased on air about their weight and the subject of New England Fat Loss (NEFL), a program advertiser, was raised. More for the sake of the show, and definitely skeptical on the program, Sawisch visited the NEFL office just after Memorial Day for a consultation. To his surprise,
his preliminary apprehension was gone in a week when he quickly dropped ten pounds. Intrigued and encouraged, he continued on and completed the 40-day, Phase 1 portion of the program. “I can’t deny the results,” Sawisch said. “My high point after the 40 days was a weight loss of 47

pounds.” Today, the 25 year-old is committed to the maintenance phase of the program and is no longer the butt of on-air weight jokes. Since he began, he has shed an impressive 57 pounds! In his words, ‘they [NEFL] have proved him wrong.’ Even throughout a summer filled with tempting foods and drink, adhering to his personally tailored meal plan demonstrates that not only does the plan work, but clients receive valuable information to achieve a healthy lifestyle. “The diet doesn’t keep me from living,” Sawisch said. “It prevents you from falling into bad habits.” Sawisch admits Phase 1 was challenging, but worth the effort. He also not only credits his success to his personal commitment, but to the daily support and menu tips from Dr. John and the NEFL staff. Most importantly, this experience
has taught him to make better choices. He now opts for kale or lettuce over his favorite green bean vegetable and even learned which types of alcohol work better for his metabolism. Sawisch still undergoes his daily ribbing from the morning show staff, but now the topics have changed. “I have a noticeable weight loss, and they definitely don’t tease me as much about my weight, but anything goes,” Sawisch said. “They tease us about everything. It’s just one less thing.” Whether public or private, start a weight loss journey today by visiting one of New England Fat Loss’ two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton. To learn more, visit their website at www.newenglandfatloss.com, or call 1-844-437-8446.

O’Gara The event is said to attract 6,000 residents, and it’s a great way to meet up with your neighbors. It’s Celebrate Holliston, which is marking its 24th year on September 19, 2015. (Rain date September 26.) Come on down between 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., or come even earlier to take part in the parade, which begins lining up at 8 a.m. at the Placentino School, 235 Woodland Street.

The parade follows Woodland (which turns into Railroad Street, to Central Street up to the square, and then left on Washington to Goodwill Park, on Green Street. The day is a great tradition, and a great way to fundraise for events around the town.

According to its website, donations have funded the downtown clock, provide plantings around the Holliston Green, supported student scholarships and electricity to Goodwill Park, and more. Celebrate Holliston has supported public safety efforts, such as radios and tables for the auxiliary police, defibrillators in public locations, funds toward a police cruiser, a fire department sign, and such public aids as public trash
cans, benches and a public clock. They’ve also funded local sports organizations, the food pantry, the senior center, the library, and a number of local nonprofit efforts. Celebrate Holliston also names a male and female Citizen of the Year each year. Holliston residents can nominate their neighbors who have made a great contribution to the town by filling out the form on the Celebrate Holliston website. The field day portion of the festival will take place at Goodwill Park from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and about 200 area businesses, organizations, crafters and artisans participate to showcase their goods and services.

Dance the Night Away with Holliston Knights of Columbus Sept. 26! The Holliston Knights of Columbus Council 14224 is sponsoring their 4th annual Charity Fundraising Event. This year the Fundraiser has a new twist – it will be a Beer and Wine Tasting “Dance Party.” CRAFTED (Merchants of Craft Wine and Beer) located at 400 Washington St, Holliston, will be organizing various beer and wine distributors for the Event. Bertucci’s will be providing hors d’oeuvres (bruschetta, garlic knots, meatballs, Tuscan wings, ravioli & rigatoni). Brian Ahronian (Ahronian Productions), a local Holliston DJ, will be supplying the music. The Event will be held at the Holliston Upper Town Hall on Saturday, September 26th from 7-10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from Tony Polise, (508) 429-5083, CRAFTED, Holliston Superette, Coffee Haven or Nick’s Garage. Proceeds from the Event will benefit various K of C charities including: Holliston Senior Center, Holliston Pantry Shelf, Veterans Organizations, Special Needs, St Mary’s Parish, Emergency Relief Activities and other K of C charities. The Knights of Columbus is a non-profit organization that supports various charitable organizations. Over the last few years the Holliston Council has raised over
$100,000 and has contributed to various charitable organizations. In 2014, The Holliston K of C donated $5,000 to the Holliston Senior Center, $5,000 to the Holliston Pantry Shelf and $5,000 to Veteran’s organizations. These funds were generated through the Council’s annual Raffle and the annual Beer & Wine Tasting Event. Complimentary wine glasses will be provided to each quest
and various donated items will be raffled off. Last year, over 130 people purchased tickets to the Event. This year’s goal is to meet or exceed that amount.

Bringing Our Veterans (All the Way) Home Old Guard New England Seeks Volunteers for Task in Laying Soldiers to Rest By J.D. O’Gara Should all our country’s veterans be laid to rest with dignity and recognition of their service? Old Guard New England, a local group of volunteers (and motorcycle enthusiasts) thinks so. Missing in America is a project many people might not have heard of, but it’s a project that struck the hearts of this group of folks in New England. Old Guard New England carries on the mission of Missing in America by identifying forgotten cremains of honorably discharged veterans and getting them to a proper resting place. “These guys fought for our country and deserve more than to sit on shelves for the rest of their days,” says Dave Cardillo, Webmaster, and Co-chair of the RonsTire.com
presentation committee for Old Guard New England, an organization comprised of veterans and non-veterans who strive to make sure all those who fought for our country are properly honored in their eternal rest. “You start off with whatever information they have on the cremains, and we make sure they get to a national cemetery,” says Bob Bolandria, Chair of the Executive Board of Old Guard New England. “Part of the veterans’ benefit is any veteran who gets an honorable discharge has the right to be buried in a national or state cemetery,” he explains, “but like so many benefits the government offers, they don’t tell you.” Old Guard New England also provides honor guard services for families laying a deceased and honorably charged veteran to Ron Saponaro

rest. These include an escort, flagfolding service, a gun salute and a bugler. Old Guard New England began when Don MacNeil, its president and founder, got a call from Missing in America in Arizona. “They said they were looking for people in my area,” says MacNeil, a veteran. What they were doing was locating unclaimed cremains of veterans and making sure they got a proper internment. That was probably about 10 years ago now,” says MacNeil, who began his effort at a funeral home in Worcester, Mass. “They had 260 sets of ashes in the basement,” he says. Of those,
18 were those of honorably discharged veterans. “It’s taken the full 10 years to get all of them (the vets) out of there.” What Old Guard New England first has to do is research. They contact Jefferson Barracks, part of the Department of Defense, says MacNeil, to verify social security information. They also research on ancestry.com “It’s a long process,” says MacNeil. “Once set of ashes could take us three days, or it could take us six months.” The oldest one, he says, was a brigadier general from the Spanish American War. How does this happen? “The deceased could have been the last of a circle of family

and friends,” says Bolandria. The effort, he says, means something to him, and a lot of the other volunteers, both veterans and non-veterans alike. Cardillo says he believes a soul doesn’t rest if not properly buried. “I saw a lot of guys pass away, even in peace time, and it has to be done,” he says. “It’s my small way of giving back,” noting that it pains him to see these veterans without a proper burial. “The group heads down to Bourne National Cemetery twice a year, escorting a bus full of veterans from the Framingham Elks headquarters the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend. (They also do a cookout for veterans at the Holyoke soldiers’ home each August.) In December, they head down again to participate in Wreaths Across America. Not only do they help place wreaths, but also this year, Old Guard New England has been asked to provide a gun salute. Veterans’ cremains, which have been identified, are either brought down to Bourne, or they are brought to a state cemetery in Agawam or Winchendon, say the volunteers. “We do the full military salute, graveside,” says MacNeil. “I like to think of it as that final leg home,” says Bolandria. “We’re bringing our veterans home.” Old Guard New England is looking for volunteers to help them bring these veterans home, as well as donations. You can find out more information at www.oldguardne.org.

Exsultet! Still Seeks a Few Great Sopranos Auditions to be Held September 14 By J.D. O’Gara
Exsultet!, a chamber choir of 12 singers, aspires to be the premier women’s ensemble of the Metrowest area. It will hold open auditions this month on September 14, from 7 – 9 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Holliston, 725 Washington Street, Holliston. Entering its third season, it seeks vocally experienced singers who have an aptitude and the skill level to learn musically challenging pieces. “They must be able to learn their music on their own before rehearsal,” says Richard Larraga, artistic director. “Typical for the average community group is that you learn the notes in rehearsal. We’re expecting them to learn the notes before rehearsal. We’re looking for women who want a musical challenge.” Although Exsultet! has residence in a church, the group is not otherwise affiliated with any church or church group. In fact, singers come from a variety of faiths and backgrounds. “We are not a church choir. We do perform a mixture of sacred and secular music of many different centuries and styles,” says Larraga.
“We are musically flexible, eclectic and diverse.” In addition, Exsultet!’s performances fuse dramatic prose with eclectic, yet artistically vibrant musical selections. Exsultet!’s last performance, for example included “Ride on King Jesus” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” “Our musical fare runs a large gamut of musical styles. We don’t all into a typical pattern of serious in fall, popular in spring. We do a mix at every concert.” The group presents two concerts a year, one in January and one in May, with occasional smaller performances at local events, as permitted. Upcoming concerts include an “Around the World” themed concert on January 23, 2016, featuring lullabies from around the world as well as a spring concert dedicated to first respond-
DESOUSA PLASTERING ers on May 21, 2016. The group hopes to draw singers who not only sing well and know music, but whose voice blends well with other singers of the same caliber. Potential singers will be able to download and review the audition piece on the group’s website at www. exsultet.us. The group’s active season runs from September through May, with rehearsals on Monday evenings, from 7-9 p.m. including holidays except for Labor Day. Larraga also invites high school singers to come intern with the group. For more information, please visit www.exsultet.us, find them on Facebook (Exsultet), or contact Malinda Teague at malindateague@ gmail.com. C

Introducing Dr. Armani to Our Practice
According to the National Institutes of Health, sun-protective clothing can protect adults and children from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, exposure to which can cause skin cancer. Sunprotective clothing is typically made with fabrics designed to absorb or reflect ultraviolet, or UV, radiation. Much like sunscreen is rated for its sun-protection factor, or SPF, sun-protective clothing is given an ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF. UPF even provides a broader spectrum of protection than SPF, protecting from both ultraviolet A and B radiation, whereas SPF protects largely against ultraviolet B. Clothing with a UPF rating of 40 or greater provides excellent protection, blocking nearly 98 percent of UV radiation. Doctors recommend that people who are at greater risk of skin cancer, such as those with blue eyes, fair skin, a large number of moles, and red hair, wear sun-protective clothing when exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time.

Sports Holliston Seventh-Grade Skater Takes Gold at State Games of America By J.D. O’Gara When she was little, Michaela joined a learn to skate program, and seven years later this young Holliston resident has nabbed a gold medal in her division at the State Games of America, in the U.S. Figure Skating Preliminary Program, which recently took place in Omaha, Nebraska. Overall, 16,000 total competitors competed in various events at this competition. Michaela DeToma, a student at the Adams Middle School, first qualified for the games here in Massachusetts, in Williamstown at the Bay State Winter Games. “Michaela actually qualified two times, separately, to go to the State Games,” says her father, Richard DeToma. “Really you Photo by Kevin Devine Photography only have to qualify once in a twoyear period, but she qualified two years in a row.” chooses the music, and her coach “I’ve been skating since I was will then cut the music down to the five,” says Michaela, who says she time she needs it. thinks she enjoys the artistry of it “Her music usually can’t exthe most.

routine, the seventh grader skated to “Slow Boat to China.” “The routine that I was entered in was called ‘light entertainment spotlight,’ and in that event you basically have to take the music you have that your choreograph a normal program to and add props,” says Michaela. “When you add the props, you have to interact with them in the program, and the judges basically give you points for the skating and for how you interact with the props.” “The piece of music is kind of a swing number,” says Richard, “and so she wears a sailor outfit, and the prop looks like a cruise ship railing and life preserver.” “There’s a lot of prep involved,” says Michaela. “You and your coach, after weeks of practicing, you’ll just make sure you have everything right, and everything is the way your coach likes it,” says Michaela, who admits that when she realized what a big deal the event was she “sort of freaked out, but I then I kind of got used to it, and it kind of sank in, and when I went out and skated I just skated the way I did like I always do. I guess it kind of worked out.” DeToma says she watched the other skaters and noticed that

they didn’t make eye contact with judges, so she made sure that was part of her program. “It’s also practice,” says Richard. “She makes it sound like it’s nothing, but it’s actually hours and hours of running that routine, perfecting the moves on it.” DeToma credits Coach Zima with tweaking the routine to an extremely professional level. “What might pass you or me by, she’ll work that edge to her liking,” says DeToma.” And that particular event is meant to bring out a fun, happy, uplifting kind of feeling, and that’s what the judges look for when the kids are skating. She really comes alive when she’s skating this routine.” As for winning the medal, Michaela says she knew something was up after her routine, when her
coach’s daughter, who had seen the results along with her coach, couldn’t stop smiling. “She and her had seen the results before me, and they came back, and my friend couldn’t wipe the smile off her face,” she laughs. Michaela’s Mom, Debbie, gets emotional talking about her daughter’s achievement. “It makes me very happy, it makes me cry, because it’s such an accomplishment. I’m very proud,” she says. “I’m amazed at what she’s been able to accomplish so quickly, and she’s smart, too.” Michaela, too, is proud of her achievement. “Of all things, I hoped (skating) would at least take me kind of far,” she says. And it has.

Sports Dupuis Eyes More Success For Holliston Soccer Squad By KEN HAMWEY During Jay Dupuis’ four-year tenure as the Holliston boys soccer coach, he’s led the Panthers to a Tri Valley League championship and four straight tournament berths. With his fifth campaign ready to get under way on Sept. 8 at Medway, the veteran mentor is optimistic that another playoff appearance is in the cards. “We’ll be a very young team that will surprise some people,’’ said Dupuis, who previously coached girls varsity soccer at Millis and Norwood. “We hope to continue our streak of consecutive playoff berths.’’ The 46-year-old coach is no stranger to building teams and leaving them in better shape when he moved on. After a year as the jayvee boys soccer coach at Millis in 2001, he took the reins of the struggling Mohawks girls varsity. Although no tourney berth was realized with the girls, that squad gained respect and became an elevated program. Dupuis, who teaches health and physical education at the Coakley Middle School in Norwood, next coached the Norwood girls varsity and made some huge strides. “Norwood had never won more than six games in its history,” Dupuis said. “We got to the tourney twice in four years and our best record there was 13-4-3. In one of our non-playoff seasons, we missed the tourney by a point.” When Dupuis took the Holliston boys coaching post in 2011, he called the position “a job he’s always wanted.” Within the last year, Dupuis, his wife and son moved to Holliston.
“After two years on the job, my 2013 team posted a 14-1-3 record and won the TVL title,’’ he recalled. “That’s been my top thrill as a head coach,” Dupuis noted. “It was one of my best teams ever. Capturing a league championship is difficult to achieve. That team allowed only 13 goals and the year before we allowed only six.” Last year, in what was a true rebuilding season, the Panthers finished 9-9. Not one to embrace a .500 record, Dupuis, nevertheless said that campaign was “very satisfying.” “I never set a goal to finish at .500,” he said, “but we were super young and had incurred some injuries. I was pleased because we got to the tourney in what was a year of rebuilding.” Dupuis considers his successful formula a mix of offense and defense. His primary focus, however, is to prevent opponents from scoring. “I consider myself a defensive coach but I’m also aggressive on the offensive end,’’ he said. “I try to make our players better on defense. I won’t take risks by making poor decisions on defense.” The attributes Dupuis seeks in players are geared to both physical skills and mental approach. “I want players who are skilled but also have the ability to be good team members,” he emphasized. “Speed and strength are important and a can-do attitude is very crucial. I also prefer players who believe in their ability.” Holliston’s captains are a good example of the attributes Dupuis admires. They are senior Karl Cousseillant and juniors Cameron Waddell and Kyle Papulis.
Cousseillant can play any position, Waddell is a midfielder and Papulis is a forward. “They’re a great group that works hard to get our kids ready,’’ Dupuis said. “They’re very skilled players who lead by example. All three played on the varsity as freshmen.” Two other capable players Dupuis will have on board are sophomore midfielder Jacob Curto, who started as a freshman, and soph Adam Gilbert, who’s recovering from an ACL tear but likely will be available at the end of the season. “We’ll have a number of freshmen out for the team who’ll have a chance to make a positive impact,” he said. Dupuis, who also coaches boys indoor and outdoor varsity track at Millis, is indeed a coach for all seasons. At Holliston, however, he’s definitely at home coaching soccer, a sport he played at Franklin High. He also was captain for two seasons at Framingham State, where he played striker, goalie and defense. Besides his bachelors degree in business from Framingham State, he also has a bachelors from Bridgewater State in physical education. And, he’s currently working on a masters in education at Framingham State. Rating defending soccer champion Medway as the team to beat in the TVL, Dupuis has worked diligently to maintain Holliston’s program as one of the best in the area. He’s given clinics on soccer skills at the youth level and emphasizes that he wants “to continue to have a good, working relationship with our youth program.”
Jay Dupuis will coach Holliston soccer for the fifth year, this year, and he has worked to build the program into one of the best in the area.

Buyer clients wanted. First time buyers welcome.
please skip the wadded up newspaper approach. Newspaper spreads dust and dirt evenly around your windows and adds a static charge to the glass that attracts more dirt and dust. Instead, invest in a strip cloth applicator, squeegee, and chamois. With just a few drops of dish soap in a bucket of warm water, use the strip cloth to gently scrub the windows. Too much soap will make your job harder. Use the squeegee in an S pattern to remove the dirty water and soap. Wipe the squeegee clean after each swipe with a lint free rag. Finally, use a rung-dry chamois on the edges of the glass and a separate rag to wipe the window sills. Remove the Climbing Ivy. Unless you live in an old English castle, you should remove any
greenery that appears to have eaten your home. You will need a ladder, hand pruners, gloves, a paint scraper, and an orbital sander. Gently pull the ivy away, pruning stubborn stems. Scrape dead branches from the siding and use the sander to remove staining. Cut the Ivy low to the ground to prevent the return of the green monster and utilize brush herbicide in the spring to kill it for good. Power Wash Walkways. You might not notice the blackish grey tinge on your walkways, but potential buyers do. You will need to rent or buy a powerwasher, chlorine bleach, rubber gloves and a bristle brush. Start with a low-pressure nozzle and hold a few inches from the surface. Direct spay at an angle, away from yourself. Switch to a more aggressive nozzle if needed. Power wash the entire surface then mix nine parts water and one part chlorine bleach in a bucket
and scrub the walkway with the solution and a wire brush twice to kill all algae. Once your walkway is clean, it will open your eyes to a whole host of things you can wash with a powerwasher; siding, decks, and patio furniture. Just be careful the power you yield can destroy as easily as it cleans. To avoid blasting the paint off of your house, consider hiring a professional. Now you’re ready for new exterior paint, fresh shrubs, and the potted plants to complete your property. With these simple, yet often forgotten tips, your deeper understanding of curb appeal will help add potential buyer traffic and significant dollars to your greatest investment.

Stony Brook Announces Its September Programming! Tiny Trekkers: Saturdays, September 5th and August 19th, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Start your weekend off right with a fun and knowledgeable Stony Brook teacher on the trails learning about nature. Each day will have a special topic created to excite your child about the natural world. There will be crafts, activities and lots of laughter. So come and join the fun. This month’s themes: Squirrels and Acorns/ Feathered Friends in Fall. Ages 2.9 to 6 with a parent. Fee: $5m/$6nm per person per session Raptor Identification Primer: Wednesday, September 9th, from 7 – 9 p.m. It’s a bird? It’s a plane? NO, it’s a hawk! But what kind? There are over a dozen birds of prey that migrate south for the winter right over our heads. With some good instruction and a little practice we can learn to reliably identify these amazing birds. Join master naturalist and exemplary teacher Jack Lash as he covers all the important points for raptor identification BEFORE the onset of hawk migration. You will come away with the knowledge and confidence that will set the stage for a fun and fulfilling experience. This is the perfect way to prepare for a visit to Wachusett Mountain or Mount Watatic (or both) later in the month. Fee: $28m/$34nm per person Wachusett Mountain Hawk Watch: Sunday, September 13th, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Join us for our annual pilgrimage to the
Princeton area to watch thousands of hawks migrate south through Massachusetts on their way to warmer places. Researchers are on the mountain every day, counting broad-winged hawks, cooper’s hawks, peregrine falcons and many other species as they glide past Wachusett heights. This trip starts at the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation visitor’s center at10:00 am (call for directions). Be sure to bring your binoculars, lunch, and layers of warm clothing. Fee: $16m/$20nm per person Mount Watatic Hawk Watch: Saturday, September 19th, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Join us for our annual pilgrimage to North Central Massachusetts for a chance to observe some of the thousands of hawks that migrate south through the area each fall. This year we are headed to Mt. Watatic located on the MA/NH border. Our trip starts and ends with a moderate hike through a beautiful northern hardwood and hemlock forest. Mt. Watatic is one of the prime locations where hawk watchers monitor the passage of migrating hawks annually. Migrants may include broad-winged, cooper s, bald eagle, American kestrel and peregrine falcon. We will meet at the Mt. Watatic parking lot located on Rt. 109 west of Ashby, MA approximately ½ mi. west of the intersection of Rt. 101 at 9:00 a.m. (call for directions). Be sure to pack your binoculars, lunch, and layers of warm clothing. Fee: $16m/$20nm per person.

We will not need our telescopes or binoculars to get the full impact of this rare event but we will have them on hand so that we can take a closer look. While watching the eclipse, we will have
time to learn and practice some techniques for navigating from star to star in the night sky and to view other celestial objects that would normally be obscured by the light of the moon (full the following night). We will provide a snacks and warm drinks. Minimum age 12. Fee: $10m/$12nm per person Pre-registration is required for all programs (except as noted).
