KP Student Walks for Autism
Collecting and Collaborating at the Wrentham Country Store By Grace Allen New England is brimming with antique and vintage stores, but Wrentham can hold its own among the competition. The Wrentham Country Store on Route 140 has been in business since 1992, and has a unique reputation in the area. Stepping into the shop is like walking into a treasure chest full of vintage and repurposed items, as well as antiques. The carefully curated inventory is never static, as the store’s 30 dealers are always on the hunt for new items. Previously run by one dealer, the Wrentham Country Store started operating as a collaborative in January of this year. The five-member, all-women board oversees the details of running and managing the shop, while the dealers maintain and replenish their respective areas (or booths). The board members are also dealers themselves, and

By definition, an antique is an item over 100 years old, while a vintage item is at least 50 years old but less than 100. Long-time dealer and board member Karen Kinch has been in the business for years. A former antiques dealer, she has

By Grace Allen When KP senior Brandon Farrand steps into the Xfinity Center next month for Walk Now for Autism Speaks, he will be thinking of his younger brother Cameron. Farrand has spent most of his young life watching out for Cam, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. “Making sure he has been safe and secure has been my number one priority while I am home,” said Farrand. A typical teenager with myriad activities and college plans, Farrand has had to take on additional responsibilities and duties most kids know nothing about. Helping his parents take care of Cam is just what he does. Autism disorders are characterized by difficulties in social interactions, verbal and non-verbal communications, and sometimes intellectual disabilities. According to Farrand, Cam falls on the lower end of the spectrum and needs lots of support. “He can’t talk, but he can communicate. He can listen, but he can’t say what he wants.” Watching his brother navigate the world has motivated Farrand

to try to make a difference. He’s hoping his participation in Walk Now for Autism Speaks will help raise badly-needed funds that will someday benefit Cam and others living with the disorder. Walk Now for Autism Speaks funds research into the causes, prevention, and treatments for autism. By raising public awareness of the disorder, the Walk unites caregivers and brings hope for a cure. According to Farrand, the number of children diagnosed with autism has grown exponentially. Cam is now 16 and attends the Bi-County (BICO) Collaborative in N. Attleboro. Therapists also visit the house and work with him on various life skills. It’s unlikely Cam will ever be able to live alone, said Farrand. Despite the daily challenges, Farrand said the two of them have a normal sibling relationship. They even argue, he said, but on a different level. “Even if he’s not in a good mood, I can tell he loves me,” said Farrand.

A Performing Arts Campus Grows Up in Franklin
For Director Raye Lynn Mercer, 2015 is a milestone year, marking both the 30th anniversary of the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) and the kickoff to the Franklin Performing Arts Company’s 25th season. Founded by Mercer in 1985 and 1991, respectively, the school and company share a passion for quality arts education and programming, with a commitment to live music and a focus on youth development. Last fall, the non-profit Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) debuted a new theater, music and event venue, THE BLACK BOX. FPAC’s new home is located just behind FSPA, creating a dynamic performing arts campus in the heart of downtown Franklin. Dedicated to the enjoyment of the music, dance and drama for all ages, FSPA offers wide-ranging and multi-level classes in all
dance disciplines, acting, musical theater, voice and instrumental instruction. The school provides a nurturing environment where students grow skills for the stage – and for life. A vibrant community and hub of nonstop activity, FSPA’s home at 38 Main Street is a transformative place. The faculty brings an extraordinary scope of training, teaching and performing experiences to their work at FSPA. Students find mentors who share a love for the arts and peers who enjoy the same interests. An unparalleled calendar of performing opportunities celebrates the achievements and development of even the youngest learners. From the earliest ages, FSPA programming encourages learning through doing, while building skills, confidence and experience. Mercer and Kim Rezendes created the Little Music School (LMS) at FSPA in 2005. Teaching children as young as 18 months to play the piano, the LMS program introduces children to music in a way they understand, through imagination, movement, play and peer interaction.
The innovative Mercer continues to develop new programming and expand opportunities at FSPA. The school launched a Musical Theater Conservatory last year to engage enthusiastic students at a high level in song interpretation and musical theater scene study while exploring possibilities for college and career. This fall, FSPA will introduce a new Dance Repertory Ensemble for students across many disciplines with opportunities to travel to NYC and Walt Disney World for classes and performances. Under the direction of Ballet Mistress Cheryl Madeux, FSPA has created a three-track ballet program to meet the needs of dancers ranging from those interested in recreational enjoyment and those dedicated to pre-professional study. F S PA dancers p u r -

sue many exciting opportunities annually, such as this year’s collaborative performances with the Metrowest Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Pro Musica, presentations of classical variations with FSPA’s Ballet Conservatory Ensemble, and a production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. FSPA’s Drama program encourages students to stretch their imagination, build character and tell stories, with an interactive curriculum that includes Creative Dramatics, Improv, Scenes & Monologues and Principles of Acting. The Music Department provides opportunities to jam with Boston’s best musicians or sing in styles ranging from classical, jazz and musical theater to pop, rock and country. Performing opportunities include acoustic coffee houses, recitals, Glee Club, opera scenes, chamber ensembles and more. Performing is an encouraged part of the FSPA experience and helps students grow and develop. Electric Youth, an ensem-

ble of singer-dancers trained at FSPA, entertained across England and France this summer, marking the group’s 12 European concert tour. The school’s musical theater troupes travel annually to Walt Disney World. FSPA now stages four all-student productions each year – a musical, ballet, play and opera – at THE BLACK BOX. And many FSPA students participate, through audition, in FPAC main stage musicals, dance, plays and concerts. The community is invited to Back-to-School Open Houses at 38 Main Street on September 1 and 3 from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., September 12 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and September 16 from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Come tour the facility, speak with faculty and staff, and learn more about FSPA programs. Prospective students are also encouraged to try a complimentary class. Registration for all programs is ongoing. For more information or to request a course catalogue and class schedule, call (508) 5288668 or visit online at www.FSPAonline.com.

Norfolk Businesses Donate to Fire Department The Norfolk Fire Department accepted a donation from the businesses occupying the Norfolk Gulf convenience store and gas station located at 242 Dedham Street: Norfolk Gulf, Dunkin Donuts and Subway. The donation consisted of a specialty saw designed to cut concrete and metal. This saw has been placed into service by the Department on Ladder 1 after all firefighters received training.
Fire Chief Cole Bushnell noted “Norfolk is extremely fortunate to have businesses such as Norfolk Gulf, Dunkin Donuts and Subway who place an emphasis on assisting the community. Given austere budgets, this donation will enhance firefighter safety as well ensure the Department has the most up-to-date tools to do the job.”

reputation for providing exceptional chiropractic services, but approximately 15 years ago, owners Dr. Rochelle Bien and Dr. Michael Goldstein recognized the benefits and significance of a comprehensive health center and began incorporating holistic services into their thriving practice “We started as chiropractors only addressing symptoms and enhancing nervous system function through spinal adjustments,” Dr. Bien said. “As the years went on, we saw the need to address so many more health issues. As the demand changed, we added clinical nutrition, Applied Kinesiology and functional health through NIS (Neurological Integrative Systems). We are the only practice from Maine to North Virginia that offers the NIS work which sets us apart from other practices.” This work allows the doctors at the Holistic Center to identify the stressors to the nervous system, and by addressing these stressors (pathogen, chemical, metal, food or scars), they can guide the body back to better health and overall homeostasis. Consultations take the time to look at all facets of one’s life to determine any physical stressors as well. Whether it be the way a person sleeps, the ergonomics at work, their “work out,” or their daily chores, it is important to know any repeated posture or position to help eliminate the cause. Chemical stressors include food preservatives, food dyes, artificial sweeteners, caffeine and high fructose corn syrup just to name a few. Environmental stressors include car exhaust, tree pollens, pesticides and molds.
The range of treated conditions and patient ages might surprise those new to holistic services. Drs. Bien and Goldstein have treated infants and continue to advise and heal though adulthood. In fact, over the past 25 years, they have seen generations of families walk through their doors. Patient’s issues range from allergies and asthma, autism spectrum disorders, learning disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive problems, Lyme disease and other tick borne conditions, pain and injuries from auto accidents or work ,headaches, skin issues, sleep disorders, sports injuries, weight loss, and women’s health. People’s age and health needs change throughout their life and so should their health management. Both doctors are trained and certified in Neurological Integration System (NIS), a ground breaking approach to healthcare management, and are skilled to evaluate and treat many issues through a variety of healing options. Those choices include wellness programs, chiropractic, clinical nutrition ,NIS and allergy relief. This therapeutic combination of treatment is not only progressive, but provides all-inclusive health resources right under one roof. In addition to con-
venience, patients at the Holistic Center have the added value and distinctive advantage of one doctor addressing and personally understanding the full scope of their past, present and future health needs. The doctors at the Holistic Center are trained in many adjusting techniques so that each patient accessing their services has a health plan that is individually tailored to their needs. They pride themselves on the fact that they have built their practice on patient referrals. They do very little advertising and to them, the ultimate compliment is when a parent brings in their child to be seen. Because they have been in practice for 25 years, they see three generations of many families and that alone speaks for itself. Dr. Bien and Dr. Goldstein are currently accepting new patients. The Holistic Center at Bristol Square is located at 1426 Main St. (Rte. 1A), Suite 6, Walpole. For more information, call 508-6602722 or visit their website at www. holisticcenteratbristolsquare.com.

Guest Column
The Importance of Local Farms By Christy Kantlehner I am Christy Kantlehner, a vegetable grower at White Barn Farm in Wrentham. My husband, Chris, and I follow organic methods and sell fresh produce to our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shareholders, customers at our roadside stand, and to chefs in Providence. My early childhood in Rangeley, Maine planted in me a deep appreciation of nature and in particular, open spaces. In 2008, I started the farm on our family homestead here in Wrentham (in the family since the 1860s). It is prime agricultural land - we have incredibly few rocks, level land, and although the soil is pretty sandy, our soil is made ideal by amending with organic matter - by addition of compost or growing and turning in cover crops (grains and legumes grown to feed the soil, not to harvest and sell). Although I grew up vowing to never move back and calling gardening “yard work,” I deeply believe in the importance of having a farm here in suburbia, especially a farm that uses no chemical pesticides (we have used a certified
organic insecticide exactly three times), no herbicides, no fungicides. These beliefs are what give us the strength and endurance to keep trucking. Challenges and reasons to farm in suburbia: Water Table. Rather than impermeable surfaces such as paved roads or asphalt shingled homes atop concrete foundations, the area on which we crop absorbs rainwater, filters it through the roots of our plants, networks of mycelium which run through the soil structure, and finally the soil particles themselves. We use compost and slow release certified organic fertilizers on our crops, not fully soluble fertilizers that can release excess Nitrogen and Phosphorous into our watershed. Habitat. The turkeys are one of our worst pests (they just love to demolish romaine), but gosh darn it, it is pretty awesome that such a large wild animal can persist despite the immense infestation of humans in this region. Same for deer, fox, coyote, possum, raccoons, pesky squirrels, rascally chipmunks, and darn woodchucks. And what about the birds?? Gold-
finches, cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, robins, mourning doves, nuthatches, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, hummingbirds, purple finches, sparrows galore, grackles, crows, red tail hawks, and the great blue heron commuting overhead from Lake Pearl to the Trout Pond. And what about the insect world? Yes it is infuriating to watch striped cucumber beetles devastate your curcurbits, or those nasty colorado potato beetle larvae squish their gross orange guts all over your shirt and your face. But finding the swallowtail butterfly caterpillar on your parsley and seeing huge brown praying mantis, brachonid wasp eggs parasitizing tomato hornworms, darling ladybugs, aphidius colemani wasps mummifying aphids and hatching out of them. Madness! And then there is the plant world, and the microbialworld. These creatures deserve to live just as much as human beings. We are an interconnected web of life, and their existence is actually important to our own. Food Security. If so many people are going to live in this region, it is a good idea to preserve
some prime agricultural land for producing food. In times of crisis, diversity is so important. We need little pockets of food production everywhere. What if the drought in California does not stop? What if transportation as we know it becomes impossible? I have a 2-year-old son who is the seventh generation in our family to live at our farm. We need to think seven generations ahead as the native people of this land did. What if erratic weather patterns and strong storms ruin crops in a major food producing region? Small farms everywhere make our population more food secure. Natural Beauty. Daily doses of beauty are what make life wonderful. Community. Human societies come together around food. Feasting is the most common form of celebration. A hub of local food producers gives a community a common bond. A farm has to produce more than they can sell in order to offer the best, most marketable produce. The excess supports the less privileged of us in the community. White Barn Farm donates to three food pantries a
week: Plainville, Franklin, and Wrentham. We also donate plants to community gardens in Norfolk, Wrentham, school gardens, and at two YMCA gardens. Flavor. Fresh food tastes delicious. Farmers who are passionate about their crops and become enchanted with the seed catalogs in the winter, and have the advantage of not having to ship their wares far, far away can grow varieties of crops that are selected for taste and beauty, rather than shipping ability. Biodiversity. This is covered by both habitat and flavor, above. Maintaining a market for seed producers who grow their seeds organically, open pollinated, or using old fashioned hybridizing is muy importante!!! Genetic modification is pure human hubris, in my opinion. When you buy a purple kohlrabi, a lemon cucumber, siberian kale, etc. you are supporting vegetable breeders, and a continued diversity of vegetable varieties.

shifted to mostly vintage with an eagle eye for affordable items that will sell. She really knows her stuff. “We cater to the customer who’s looking for shabby chic, or the cutting-edge customer who’s looking for industrial. The days of chintz and pretty teacups is passé and not current at all. The gals getting married today don’t give the big dinner parties. They don’t want to bother dusting precious things because their lives are so very busy,” explained Kinch. Kinch, like the other dealers, will go anywhere in search of pieces to sell at the store. Most of the dealers get their inventory from estate sales, auctions, and yard sales. According to Kinch, “Our booths are never stale. Thirty women out shopping, buying a plethora of goods…we don’t put it in our garages, because our husbands have had it up to here.

So we buy it, clean it up, refurbish it, and bring it in.” In fact, refurbished items are big sellers. Kinch attributes that to Pinterest and Etsy, the online ideas and goods sites where people share, display, and sell unique items. Fans of Pinterest and Etsy are do-it-yourself types, and have driven up sales at the store. “Young people today have vision. They will look at a table here and say, ‘that color won’t work, but I can paint it, I can layer it, I can antique it,’” said Kinch. The rise of big-box stores have helped fuel a countermovement of upcycling and repurposing of items. According to Kinch, “The people who come in here are sick of walking down the beaten path. They want to have something in their house that is unique. I think it’s a backlash against the Ikeas and the Targets of the world. They say, ‘My great-grandma had that and it still looks good.’ They want practical, they want something that’s been worn and true.” Kinch said brides looking for items for their weddings often browse the shop. Barn weddings are popular now, according to Kinch. “The traditional wedding with the bouquets and the pretty venue, dancing, dinner….people are getting away from that. People want something memorable.” The Wrentham Country Store is also a regular stop for photographers in search of props for photo shoots. The store has been the source of decorative items for Wrentham’s Proctor Mansion Inn, too. Scenes from the movie Sea of Trees starring Matthew McConaughey were filmed in Foxboro, and the film crew shopped
the store for the movie set. The shop has a following beyond the immediate area, with clientele from all over New England, and has been featured in two magazines, Romantic Homes and Flea Market Style. Much like the items they sell, the dealers themselves are an eclectic group with diverse backgrounds. Among them are a teacher, a former principal, a mechanical engineer, an artist, and a real estate stager. For most of them, this is a second or additional career. Kinch herself was a school psychologist, but has always had a passion for decorating. Eventually, an antiques dealer convinced her she had the talent to go in another direction. There is a waiting list and application process for dealers wanting to join the shop. Dealer Jane Alfieri has been at the store since January and has a career in technical support/quality engineering. She also has an artistic side she expresses in mixed-media art. Alfieri recycles vintage jewelry pieces into new items, and sells them at the Wrentham Country Store, all while working her day job. “I was a collector like anybody else and then you get out of control. So you say, ‘If maybe I just sell some things I can buy more stuff. It just kind of evolves,’” laughed Alfieri. While most of the dealers are women, the owner of the building has recently started selling items, too. John Engwar has been filling the outdoor sheds next to the main building with his own collection of antique and vintage items. Kinch explained these items are considered primitives, and include old
farm tools, buckets, wheelbarrows, and horse buggies. The hope, she said, is that while the female customer is inside looking at shabby chic, the male half of the couple is entertained outside looking at farm-chic. And who knows, he may be inspired to redecorate his man-cave, too.

September Events at THE BLACK BOX to Feature Soul Kitchen and Lost in Yonkers THE BLACK BOX, downtown Franklin’s new theater, music, and event venue, kicks off its 20152016 season with the highly anticipated reunion concert of Boston’s favorite R&B band, Soul Kitchen. The month’s programming also features Neil Simon’s awardwinning dramatic comedy, Lost in Yonkers. THE BLACK BOX, the home of the Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC), is located at 15 West Central Street. THE BLACK BOX presents a Soul Kitchen Reunion Concert and the venue’s first dance party on September 11 at 7:30 p.m. Drawing musical inspiration from the legendary Rhythm & Blues artists of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, Soul Kitchen lays down a groove with a four-horn section, full rhythm section and male and female vocalists. The instrumentation provides authenticity of sound and enables the band to perform works popularized by male and female artists of the genre, from Aretha Franklin and Etta James to Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. The band is led by arranger/trumpeter Rick Hammett, recording artist for Warner Brothers, Concord Jazz Records, RCA and Electra and 1st trumpet for Stevie Wonder, Ray
Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Boston Pops and others. Showcasing some of Boston’s finest musical talent, Soul Kitchen features vocalist/keyboardist Joe Bargar (who has toured with Otis Rush and recorded with Diana Ross) and the vocal sounds of former Atlantic recording artist April Hall. Tickets for the Soul Kitchen Reunion Concert are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. FPAC presents Lost in Yonkers, directed by Nick Paone, on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on September 27 at 2 p.m. Winner of the 1991 Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Play, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Lost in Yonkers is a deeply moving and beautifully crafted coming-of-age story by America’s great playwright, Neil Simon. Striking a balance between pain and humor, drama and comedy, Simon’s poignant play draws from his own experiences growing up in New York City. It’s 1942 and financially strapped Eddie has just left his teenage sons, Jay and Arty, in the care of their mentally challenged and childlike Aunt Bella and her stern and embittered mother, Grandma Kurnitz.
Spanish Classes
Eddie takes to the road as a traveling salesman to pay back his debt to a loan shark, having borrowed to cover his late wife’s hospital care. Soon Uncle Louie, a small-
time hoodlum hiding from the mob, moves in. Reeling from the loss of their mom and left to contend with this strange new world in Yonkers, the boys embark on a
scheme to make some quick cash and get their dad back. As told through the eyes of the brothers, Lost in Yonkers is a masterful work that’s full of heart. For additional information or to purchase tickets, call (508) 5283370 or visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com.

Basement Remodel or Attic Finish - Smart Ways to Add Living Space If you are looking to add livable space to your home, but are not ready to tackle a full addition project, a basement remodel or an attic finishing may be just for you. Finishing your unfinished attic and/or basement is one of the smartest ways to add usable living space to your home. A finished 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 ap-
proach 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 ready to use and enjoy for years to come. You may even forget what the basement or attic looked like before the renovation, because the change will be so drastic! Whether you would like to add
a wet bar in the basement with custom cabinetry, a home theatre in the attic with a high quality audiovisual system, or simply add finished living space for family and friends to enjoy, you can be confident that your attic or basement remodel will increase the livability of your home, up the value of your home and provide you with a multifaceted space that you will love. For more information contact (508) 359-5900, e-mail info@MastersTouchWeb.com or visit www.MastersTouchWeb.com.

You might say Farrand is a natural at caring for others. He is involved in numerous community service activities, including King Philip’s Leo Club. He has volunteered with the Kiwanis Club and rings the bell at Christmas time for the Salvation Army. He even delivers meals to the homeless for the Lions Club on Thanksgiving Day. Farrand played on the KP boys soccer team freshman and sophomore year, but was cut his junior year. Still, he stuck around and decided to help the team as a manager. According to Kip Lewis, last season’s varsity coach, Farrand managed the equipment, recorded stats during games, and dealt with ros- (L to R) Brandon and Cameron Farrand ters and MIAA forms.

Personally He was my right hand man and speaking, I truly felt lucky to have
him as our team manager,” said Lewis, who is also the Assistant Principal at the high school. “Brandon is an exceptional young man of high character with a drive and determination to be the best that he can be.” Farrand is a passionate sports fan and hopes to attend St. John’s University in New York and major in sports marketing or management. He has not missed a day of school since elementary school, and has made the honor roll every term but one in high school, both tough achievements given all he has on his plate. Walk Now for Autism Speaks will be held on October 18 at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield. Farrand hopes to raise $6000 and encourages others to join his team and walk for Cam.

Take a History Tour Through Norfolk By Grace Allen with Barbara Bartholomew The Norfolk Historical Commission has completed a five-year project that has produced five historical information panels which are located on various sites in town. With the use of maps and photos, the panels paint a narrative history of the sites. These fiberglass tilt panels are similar to those used in national and state parks, as well as in historic sites throughout the U.S. Four of the five panels are the work of Norfolk Historical Commission member Barbara Bartholomew, while the remaining one is the work of member Betsey Whitney. The panels were created with the help of Tri-County students, and paid for by Community Preservation Commission funds. The best way to view the panels is to take a tour through town. Following is a description of the locations and directions. The Historical Commission invites residents to travel the route and view the panels, and gain an appreciation for the history in our
own backyard. Finding the Panels Start at Town Hill, between the library and the flag pole. Here is the first panel, which was installed in the summer of 2012. The panel is on the precise location of the town’s original Town Hall that dated back to 1800 and burned in December 1922. It displays a map of Norfolk’s original town center, and includes historic photos of the area, including the Ware Crypt from 1730. Continue up Main Street towards Franklin, to Mill Pond opposite Camger Chemical Systems. Here is the City Mills panel, which tells the story of the first arrival of a Dedham foraging party in the 1640s and the attempts to harness the water power of the Mill River. A part of Franklin until 1870, this area was known as the “City of Mills.” Find the third panel by traveling back down Main Street to-
wards the other end of town, past the Norfolk Cemetery. Continue onto Main Street, which is a left hand turn at the prison, past Norfolk Auto. Cross the Walter H. Fisher Bridge over the Stop River. Turn left at 14 Main Street on to the access road, now named Fales Park Road. A short way down this
road there is a pull-off area, and here is the third panel. This panel depicts Highland Lake Grove, a center of activity from 1875 to 1900. Transported by railroad, the area was a favorite summer outing location for thousands of city dwellers. Civic and charitable organizations also sent
underprivileged urban children to the locale for fresh air and a day in the country. A boxing camp was held on the lake, and the first Heavyweight Champion of gloved boxing, John Lawrence Sullivan, also known as the Boston Strong Boy, held an exhibition bout there in 1883. President Rutherford B. Hayes stopped by on his way to Boston in 1877 to have breakfast in the pavilion on the west banks of Highland Lake. To reach the fourth panel, return to Main Street, heading towards Walpole. Drive across the town line and turn left on Highland Lake Road. Drive until the Arch Bridge and back into Norfolk, where the road becomes Campbell Street. On the left is the fourth panel, located at the entrance to Fales Memorial Park, which was officially opened on May 26 of this year. This panel tells the story of the Walpole Iron Foundry, built by Squire Miller Fales. This area was
once an important industrial site. Next, leave Fales Park and drive under the railroad bridge. Directly ahead on the right is the recently renovated Silas Fales House. Continue along Campbell Street and cross Stop River. A small bungalow appears on a knoll on the left at 18 Campbell Street. This is the Benjamin Morse House, build in the 1720s, and is among the oldest dwellings in Norfolk. Continue driving until reaching Seekonk Street, and then turn left and back towards Main Street at the corner of Norfolk Cemetery. Drive back towards the center of town and turn on to Rte, 115 towards Foxboro. Cross Rte.1A, pass the new Pondville Medical building, and turn left on Valley Street. A short way down Valley is Old Pond Street, and here is the fifth and final panel. This panel tells the story of the settlement of the Pond Family in 1730s. The Pondville section of town is named after them, and the area’s importance has been well-documented.

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.

your eyes periodically to prevent eyestrain. Every 20 minutes, look away from your computer to a distant object for 20 seconds. This will give your eyes a chance to refocus. After two hours of continual computer use, rest your eyes for 15 minutes. 4. Blink often Our eyes need lubrication to see well. This is accomplished by a blinking reflex and leads to production of moisture (tears) on the surface of the eyes. People normally blink about 18 times a minute, but computer users tend to blink only one-fourth as often. This increases the chance of developing dry eye. To lessen this risk, blink more often, and refresh your eyes periodically with lubricating eye drops. 5. Get your eyes checked Uncorrected vision problems— farsightedness or astigmatism, problems focusing or coordinating the eyes and eye changes associated with aging—can contribute to eye strain and musculoskeletal pain. Even if you don’t need glasses for daily activities, you may need them for computer use. If you wear glasses or contacts and need to tilt your head or lean toward the screen to see it clearly, your lens prescription may not be right for computer use. Having the correct prescription can help prevent pain in the neck, shoulders or back resulting from contorting the body to see the screen. If the above measures don’t work, don’t put off seeing an ophthalmologist. If the underlying cause of CVS is not addressed, symptoms will continue and may worsen in the future. Your ophthalmologist can do a visual acuity measurement to determine how your vision is affected, test your eyes to find a prescription that will compensate for any refractive errors, and check how well your eyes focus, move and work together. Computer vision syndrome is very common… As more screen work is needed, more eye strain can be expected. Our centers and ophthalmologists have state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat many eye problems, including CVS. We are now able to better recognize and manage this problem and continue to provide world class eye care for the entire family. For more details, see our on page 1

Wrentham 12’s Cap Another Successful Season By Christopher Tremblay Staff Sports Writer It’s been a rather impressive season for the Wrentham Youth Baseball 12A’s. After capturing the regular season Hockomock Title, the Wrentham squad finished second in the Hockomock Tournament, losing to Bridgewater16-11 in the Championship contest and winning the Cal Ripken District Title. Participating in
the John Steele double elimination tournament in Dartmouth, the team grabbed another second place finish before their annual trip to Cooperstown. “We were pleasantly surprised in our second place finish amongst the 18 teams in the tournament,” Wrentham Coach Matt Hjort said. “Playing six games in three days took a toll on our pitching, but we still managed to go 4-2

overall.” Three Wrentham athletes were recognized for their play in the Dartmouth Tournament. Connor Cooke, who batted .611 with 4 homeruns and 13 RBI, and Pat Zarba, who batted .538 with 3 homeruns and 11 RBI, were both named to the All Tournament Team, while shortstop Liam Foley received a Gold Glove for the most putouts in the tournament. Wrentham found themselves trailing 10-7 late in their very first contest of the tournament, but was able to come back and win 16-11; got themselves a 130 pitch win in the semi finals and then lost to South East Youth Athletic Association’s New Bedford 13-5 in the championship game. “Most of these kids have played together since 8 years old and they’ve been competitive year in and year out,” the coach said. “This year we went the furthest we’ve ever gone.” Things weren’t always rosy for the 12A team, having opened the season with a lot of injured pitchers. While the majority of innings were eaten up by Rob Hjort and Patrick Zorba, seven different athletes found their way to the mound for Wrentham this summer. The younger Hjort, who not only throws hard, but is extremely accurate and can locate his pitches, found himself as the team’s ace

with the knuckleball as his go-to pitch, while Zarba was catching batters off balance with his power pitching. “At 5’ 7” and 150 pounds he’s tough to hit. When he’s healthy and on his game, he’s the best – no one is going to get around on it,” the Wrentham coach said. While Hjort and Zarba held the bats at bay, Connor Cooke, the team’s catcher and first baseman, was the top hitter at the plate batting .560 on the year with 14 homeruns. Cooke is also considered the team’s vocal leader on the field. Other athletes on the squad included Ryan McCarthy, the team’s jack of all trades on the field and consistent batter in the box; Brendan Donahue (pitcher /outfielder); Aidan Driscoll (outfielder, who used his speed to steal home and give Wrentham the win in the last game of the season) and Harry Brown, a gutsy individual who refused to come out of the game despite limping around the field. Alex Sawyer, who hit a grand slam in the Cal Ripken Tournament, was probably the team’s best overall outfielder, despite Bryan Sugrue being the fastest kid on the team. According to Hjort, Sugrue is so fast that he could hit the ball to the first baseman and still beat it out.
Rounding out the team is Carter Campbell, an outfield with pop; Foley, the team’s leadoff hitter and lockdown second baseman and Geoffrey Bowes, a first year player who got through the season with superstition. “Geoffrey struggled at first, but by the last week of the season he became our third best pitcher and his five homeruns came out of nowhere,” Hjort said. “When I asked him where this power suddenly came from he told me that he had kissed Sally before the game. He then told me Sally was his dog and everyone made sure he kissed Sally before every game.” Along with Bowes and his Kiss to Sally, the Wrentham team rattled of four wins to conclude the regular season and then grabbed two more in the tournament before losing in the championship game. As the season winds down, Wrentham has one more tournament to participate in before they trade their gloves in for school books. The squad will travel to Cooperstown, New York to play seven games in six days at the All Star Village, all the while living on site. Whatever happens during those six days well be nothing more than icing on the cake, as Wrentham has already scripted a season in which they will remember for years to come.

Unger Taking Reins as KP Girls Ice Hockey Coach By Ken Hamwey Staff Sports Writer The learning curve shouldn’t be a problem for Jack Unger who’s taking the head-coach reins of the King Philip girls ice hockey team. Unger replaces Paul Lyons, who coached the squad for all seven years the program has been in place. Lyons decided to leave coaching and Unger seems like a natural to succeed him. “I was an assistant for Paul all seven years and had a daughter go through the program,’’ said Unger, a native of Mansfield who now lives in Wrentham. Unger’s background in hockey is lengthy. He knows the KP program and he’s coached a girls’ select program for 10 years. He also coached boys youth teams and the KP Junior High boys. Unger coached in the Assabet Valley Girls Ice Hockey Youth Program in Concord for 10 years. That select program involved coaching girls from ages 8-18 and many of the teams in that organization won national titles. The 50-year-old Unger inherits a KP team that last year compiled a 17-0-3 record, the only girls ice hockey team that finished unbeaten in the state. The Warriors this year will again be competing in the Southeastern MA Girls Hockey League but will move from the Northeast Division to
the West circuit. The teams in the West include Franklin, Medfield, Medway-Ashland, Dover Sherborn-Hopkinton, Oliver AmesMansfield and Westwood. “We’ll be competitive and should do well in the West,’’ Unger noted. “The division, however, will be very strong. Medfield was the West champion last year, and Medway-Ashland, Westwood and Franklin are all very strong.’’ Depending on personnel, Unger said his Warriors will rely on speed, quickness and being aggressive to the puck. “I prefer gaining control of the puck and maintaining possession,’’ he emphasized. “The key is keeping possession with movement in the defensive, offensive and neutral zones and getting the puck to the open ice, the open lane and the open player.’’ A proponent of fundamentals, Unger’s coaching style will focus on his players being consistent and willing to reach their potential. “I want players to challenge themselves, be consistent, know the rules, be dedicated, reach their potential and go beyond that,’’ he said. Five returnees who’ll form a key part of KP’s nucleus are forwards Casie Curtin (senior), Liz Furfari (sophomore), Olivia McCarthy (sophomore), defensemen Molly Alford (senior) and Jessica
Daniels (sophomore). “Casie is gritty, has good technique, a hard shot and is a good skater,’’ Unger said. “Liz has raw talent, she hustles constantly and has a hard shot. Molly is solid behind the blue line and is effective in transition. Jessica has hockey smarts, she’s blossomed and can play offense or lead our transition game. Olivia anchored our second line and has huge potential. We’ll also have a handful of sophomores who could become an integral part of the team.’’ Last year’s team bowed in tourney play to Winchester, losing 4-1. Two years ago, the squad had its only other tournament appearance, losing to Cohasset-Hanover. “The first five years were sub-.500 campaigns,’’ Unger recalled. “We didn’t have a feeder system and the girls had limited experience. We averaged about four or five wins a season but we seldom got blown out. We displayed competitive spirit all the time and that paved the way for our undefeated season last year.’’ Unger said he expects a turnout of 27 candidates and “if the numbers continue to increase, we may have some sub-varsity games for those who don’t get varsity playing time.’’ Unger and his wife Kathy have two children — Giselle, 22, who played ice hockey at KP;
and Dylan, 19, who’ll be attending the University of Vermont. Unger, an engineering graduate of Northeastern University, works for a medical firm developing new technology for repairing bones that are damaged by cancer or trauma-related injuries. Delighted that his work schedule allows him to coach, Unger said that replacing Lyons is an opportunity that “I’m excited about and eager to get started.’’
The transition to a new coach who knows the players and the system should be smooth and the KP girls already have a good idea what objectives Unger has in mind. “Our top goal is to get to the tourney and we also will strive to win the division title,’’ Unger emphasized.

Callbacks (if needed) will be held on Thursday, September 10 at 7 p.m. and rehearsals will begin on September 12. For character breakdown, including descriptions, ages and voice parts, please visit www.FPAConline.com. FPAC will present The Addams Family at THE BLACK BOX on October 24 at 7:30 p.m., October 25 at 2 p.m., and October 30 at 7:30 p.m., with two performances on Halloween at 2 and 8:30. The devilishly delightful musical serves up an original story based on the iconic characters of legendary cartoonist Charles Addams. Inspiring a TV sitcom, TV cartoon series and two feature films, Addams’ illustrations for The New Yorker spawned a pop culture phenomenon. His
famously motley group – Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandma and Lurch – has a taste for everything macabre. Yet there’s a sweetness, charm and humor at the heart of their twisted and dark world. With book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, The Addams Family musical tests that world when outsiders – the respectable Ohio family of Wednesday’s “normal” fiancé – come to dinner, setting in motion a chain of riotous events one memorable night! FPAC’s magical journey of The Nutcracker features more than 100 area dancers and special guest artists. Presented with live professional orchestra, The Nutcracker remains a highly anticipated and treasured part of the FPAC season, a popular holiday tradition for more than 20 years. Open auditions for The Nutcracker will be held on Sunday, September 20 at THE BLACK BOX. Students, ages 6 and older, from all area dance schools are welcome. Ballet attire is required. Audition times are 9:30-10:00 a.m. for ages 6 and 7, 10-10:45 for ages 8 and 9, 11:00-11:45 for ages 10 and 11, 11:45-12:45 for ages 12 and 13, 1-2 for ages 14+ (off pointe), and 2:45-3:45 for ages 12+ (pointe audition; must be on pointe for at least one year).

Backpack Safety
By Deborah Arscott Physical Therapist at Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab Inc. School opening is around the corner so now is a perfect time to think about backpack safety. Backpacks are an efficient tool to organize and carry one’s materials for the school day, work day, hiking or camping. Created with straps that evenly distribute the load over several muscle groups, the greater number of contact points between the body and straps, the better the distribution of the content’s weight. Worn correctly, they are practical and efficient. Worn incorrectly, they compromise posture and increase muscle stress across the low back, shoulders and neck. What to consider when purchasing a backpack: 1. Keep the pack itself lightweight and sized appropriately for the person wearing
it, especially for youngest students.
2. Look for thicker padded straps for both comfort and wider distribution of the load. 3. A waist or hip strap will anchor the pack near the body’s center of gravity which further disperses the load. 4. A padded back protects one’s back from feeling the hard edges of backpack contents.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests students carry no more than 10-20 percent of their body weight. Compartmentalize the items, using the pockets. Pack heavier items closest to the back of the pack, the part that rests on the back. As with all movement of external loads, use good body mechanics when bending and standing - keep your back straight and use your knees. Always stand tall with straight posture. If this is difficult to do with the
5. A rolling backpack offers an advantage when the load is heavy and for those who have to lug lots of materials every day. Wheels don’t move well on snow or up/down stairs, but still offer diminished stress on the body. To optimize the benefits of a backpack, always use all straps provided and keep the load as light as possible – packing only the essentials, reviewing the needs regularly.
Wrentham Day Slated for September 5 Celebrate all things Wrentham at the 34th annual Wrentham Day, set for Saturday, September 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The popular community event, held on the town common, has something for all ages.

There are 95 million adult Americans without life insurance, according to LIMRA, an insurance industry research group. “The fact is, the vast majority of Americans need life insurance and, sadly, most people either have none or not enough,” says Schweitzer. “If someone depends on you financially, you need life insurance. It’s that simple.” September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to take stock of your life insurance needs. Schweitzer offers three additional reasons why now is the best time to look into getting life insurance. You’ll never be younger than you are now. While that may sound obvious, youth is on your side when it comes to life insurance. It makes good financial sense to get coverage when you’re young and healthy, as premiums are based on your age and health. For most policies, your premiums will be locked in at that rate over the life of the policy, and can’t be raised due to a change in your health status. It’s affordable, with rates near historic lows. People overestimate the cost of life insurance by nearly three times, according to a recent study conducted by LIMRA and the LIFE Foundation, a nonprofit insurance education organization. In fact, life insurance rates remain near historic lows; the cost of
basic term life insurance has fallen by nearly 50% over the past decade. A healthy 30-yearold can buy a 20year, $250,000 level-term policy for about $13 per month. Life happens. One day life is going along smoothly, and the next, you’re thrown a curve ball. No one knows what the future holds. None of us expect to die prematurely, but the truth is roughly 600,000 people die each year in the prime of their lives. That’s why today is always the best day to take care of your life insurance needs. “Life Insurance Awareness Month is the ideal time for a life insurance review,” says Schweitzer. “I urge everyone to take a few minutes out of their busy schedules this month to make sure they have adequate life insurance protection.” According to Schweitzer, consumers can get a general sense of their life insurance needs by going to www.lifehappens.org/
lifecalculator and using the online calculator offered by the LIFE Foundation. The next step, suggests Schweitzer, should be to contact a local insurance professional, who can conduct a more comprehensive needs analysis and help you find the right products to fit your specific needs and budget. About Life Insurance Awareness Month Held each September, Life Insurance Awareness Month is an industry-wide effort that is coordinated by the nonprofit LIFE Foundation. The campaign was created in response to growing concern about the large number of Americans who lack adequate life insurance protection.
