Franklin Resident Stays Strong in
National Senior Games
BY J.D. O’GARA
“What about you, Dad?”
That was the question posed by
one of Weslie Boyea’s two daughters, after the civil engineer had
encouraged her last summer to
enter competitions to keep in
shape.
BY J.D. O’GARA
“She had graduated from college and had used up her NCAA
eligibility,” says Boyea, now 65.
He took her question seriously.
“I looked into it and entered the
Massachusetts Senior Games last
fall,” he says.
According to their website,
www.maseniorgames.org, more
than 1,100 active adults over 40
participate each year in 23 summer events and seven winter
events in the Massachusetts Senior Games as well as an Olympic
Fitness Walk, up from 150 when
they began with just a “Fun Walk”
in 1991.
Boyea, a Vietnam veteran who
has lived with his wife, Debra, in
Franklin for 20 years, worked out
October 1, 2013
Shown here outside the Franklin Methodist Church, of which he is co-chair, Franklin resident Weslie Boyea holds
his medals from the Massachusetts Senior Games, which qualified him to compete in the National Senior
Games, held this year in Cleveland, OH in July. Boyea placed sixth nationally in both the shotput and discus for
his age group.
for about three weeks before the
senior games. He chose events in
which he’d competed in high
school – shotput and discus.
“I grew up in upstate New York
and went to the New York state finals in Syracuse in both those
events. I felt like that was something I’d done in the past, and if
was going to try anything almost
50 years later, I was going to try
an event I’d done in high school,”
muses Boyea.
With people leading such busy
lives, The Franklin Downtown
Partnership’s Annual Franklin
Harvest Festival gives them a
chance to slow down and catch
up with friends, local businesses
and what’s going on in town,
says Lisa Piana, Executive Director of the Downtown Partnership.
The 11th annual Franklin Harvest Festival will be held on Sunday, October 6, from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m., rain or shine. One of the
largest fall festivals in the region,
organizers expect more than
6,000 visitors to attend.

SENIOR GAMES
continued from page 1
Boyea competed that fall, and he
took home two silvers and a
bronze, an achievement that qualified him for the July 2013 National
Senior Games in Cleveland, Ohio,
presented by Humana. (Boyea explains that athletes can also qualify
for the national games through the
U.S. Track and Field Association.)
Later, in the spring state games, he
would take home gold in discus
and silver in shotput.
Boyea participated in the National Senior Games on July 26th.
With his sister and nephew with
his wife and child cheering him
on, Boyea made good on his own
advice to his daughter. Among the
total of more than 10,000 competitors in all the events, with hundreds from Massachusetts alone,
Boyea took home 6th place in both
discus and shotput for his age
group of 65-69-year-old men.
The National Senior Games, according to its website, nsga.com,
is 19-sport, biennial national
championship for men and
women 50 and over. It is the
largest multi-sport event in the
world for senior athletes. It began
in 1985 in St. Louis, MO with just
seven men and women who
formed the National Senior
Olympics Organization (NSOO).
Their goal was to promote healthy
lifestyles for adults through education, fitness and sport.
For Weslie Boyea, who also volunteers as co-chair of the Franklin
Methodist Church, trained as an
early responder to natural disasters, the experience was a positive
one. He says he will “definitely do
it again,” provided he is in good
health in 2015, when the games
will be held in Minneapolis.
“It was something I’d really
wanted to try, and get out of the
comfort zone, I play golf in the
summer and volleyball in the
winter. For the people that go to
that gym – they run and run, or
lift weights – to have a goal, getting out there and competing,”
makes it worth the effort, says
Boyea. He points out how varied
the events are, with almost something for everyone. “This has
horseshoes and badminton and
bocce ball, disc golf, racquetball,” he says.
One extra bonus Boyea found
that he hadn’t counted on was
the camaraderie he felt from
competitors from as far away as
Hawaii and Texas.
“When you’re competing at the
high school level, the guy from
the other school is the enemy,”
says Boyea. “At this, if you
make a nice throw, it’s ‘Nice
throw! Good job!’ from the competitors. There’s more mentoring
going on. It’s very competitive,
but it’s not to the point that
they’re rooting against you.
They’re rooting for you. They
just hope they do better.”

Franklin to Participate in Mass in Motion Healthy Dining Program
Local Restaurants Encouraged to Offer
Healthful Options
Healthy Futures Franklin is
proud to announce its participation in the Mass in Motion
Healthy Dining Program, an initiative of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Restaurant foods tend to be
higher in calories, fat and
sodium, and portions are bigger
than food prepared at home. But
more and more customers are
looking for healthier options
while dining out. The Mass in
Motion Healthy Dining Program
works with local restaurants to
make healthy food and drink options available to customers. By
offering healthy entrees and side
dishes, local restaurants are
making it easier for Franklin’s
customers to make healthy
choices.
Healthy Futures Franklin will
work with local restaurant owners to help them promote smaller
portions, fruit and vegetable substitutions, and healthier drink
options. Restaurants simply fea-
ture healthy menu items they
may already offer or make small
changes to make existing items
healthier. By making these small
changes Healthy Dining restaurants can receive free publicity
in the community and across the
state, increase sales, and attract
new customers.

Artist Spotlight: Shelly Eager
BY J.D. O’GARA
Visiting the home of artist and
Franklin resident Shelly Eager is
an experience. Her house is the
one with the burst of colorful
flowers interrupting the continuous grey of the neighborhood.
Her front door opens to a world
of depth and dimension, where
lighting, color, and handmade
pieces of art and culture from
Eager’s travels around the world
combine to immerse the visitor in
comfort, and, in a way, Eager’s
personality.
The pastel artist is not only a
teacher, skilled in teaching in
many languages, but she is also a
native New Yorker who has a
background in none other than
interior design.
“Nobody knows who you are
until you tell them,” says Eager.
“I’m not afraid to put myself out
there, and I believe that if you put
yourself out there, people will
find out about you, and that’s
what I do.”
“I built a very good, solid business with a very good reputation,
but when the industry fell apart, I
went back to teaching,” says
Eager.
Although she enjoyed teaching,
Eager says she “really missed
being involved in the creativity.”
Having always wanted to study
painting, she went out and bought
a book, some paint and a canvas.
Once she took the canvas and
paints outside, she says, a neighbor who was an artist remarked
on how nice it was to see a fellow
artist.
“So I joined the Franklin Art
Association and went to one of
their demonstrations – a pastel
artist,” says Eager. There, she fell
in love, with color.
In “Two of a Kind,” Eager’s favorite
of her pieces, she and her friend are
shown reflected in the antiques.
“The colors knocked me out,
from pastels,” says the artist,
who’s now been painting for 11
years. “The yellow (of forsythia
being painted) was so intense, I
said, ‘Oh, my God, I have to try
these.’” Eager wasted no time ordering another book and pastel
supplies. Recovering from knee
surgery, she taught herself, page
by page. Later, when the Franklin
Art Association was to hold their
first art show, Eager entered one
of her oil paintings and one of her
pastels.
She won first in both.
The artist figured she was onto
something.
“I dive into things if I like
something,” says Eager. “I just
don’t stop. I would read every
book I could, go to every demonstration I could and would take
workshops. Then, I started to
compete in other art associations’
shows.”
At the North Shore Art Association, says Eager, she got into a
juried show. “Then, my art career
just started flying,” says the artist,
who now teaches a workshop up
there every summer. Again, she
marketed herself and gained students at the Concord Art Association as well. Eager also applied
for 8 Visions, a program through

herself “out there.” The artist loves to paint themes of the city, in vibrant
colors.
the Attleboro Arts Museum that
selects eight artists per year and
displays about 12 paintings. “I
put in for that, and I got juried
in,” she says. That event, she
says, led to a call from a gallery
in Boston. The lesson, she says,

is to share your gift.
“You’re putting yourself out

going to see you,” says Eager.
In Boston, she says, she was approached from a member of the
Copley Society, who emailed her
an invitation to apply.

“I had had the application on
my desk for two years,” laughs
Eager. “I didn’t think I was ready.
He said, ‘Not ready? They’re not
ready for you!’”
In a similar fashion, Eager got
her work shown in the Pastel
Journal and became a member of
the Pastel Society of America.
Eager’s paintings combine vibrant color with the use of light
and reflections, all of which give
her paintings a multi-dimensional
feel. An image of a store window

closely, the viewer will see that
the reflection of the city is shown,
a hint at the bustling life moving
about the city outside the window.
“I truly believe you paint your
personality,” says an enthusiastic
Eager. “I have a tremendous
amount of energy. You can’t be an
exuberant person and paint calm
paintings.”
As for her medium, Eager says,
excitedly, “Color is everything to
me. Once I discovered the colors
of pastel there was no bringing
me back to any other medium.
It’s made up of pure pigment, not
diluted, and the pigment is made
up of crystals, so luminescent and
alive, they reflect the light.” The
artist likens painting with a pastel
stick to “painting from your finger. It’s like magic.”
And although you can take the
girl out of the city, you can’t take
the city out of the girl. “The city,”
says Eager, “inspires me. To me,

show people the beauty that they
don’t necessarily see.”

Area 8th Graders (and Parents)
Invited to BFCCS High School Fair
13th Annual Event Open to All Students,
Features Many High Schools
BY
J.D. O’GARA
These days, shopping for a secondary school can be a little bit
like looking at colleges. Choices
can be overwhelming. That’s
why, for local 8th graders and
their parents, the Benjamin
Franklin Classical Charter Public School (BFCCPS), located in
the St. Mary’s school building at
201 Main Street in Franklin, will
host its 13th annual High School
Fair night on Thursday, October
3rd, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the
BFCCPS Dr. Kevin O’Malley
auditorium.
“We started doing the high
school fair to be able to answer
the sort of questions about what
Fine Jewelers Since 1936
other options there are beyond
traditional high school,” says
Heather Zolnowski, BFCCPS
Principal, who says that about
45% of her 47 eighth graders
will go to district schools, while
55% will go to either private, independent or vocational schools.
She hopes to help streamline that
process for parents.
Open to the public, 8th grade
students both from BFCCPS and
from other surrounding towns
are invited to attend; admittance
only with parent or guardian.
The fair showcases private and
independent high schools in the
Metrowest
area,
Boston,
Worcester, and northern Rhode
Island. As of October 3rd, the
following schools were registered to attend:
BC High
Bishop Feehan
Boston Trinity Academy

Students are invited to browse,
pick up brochures and applications, ask about fall open house
dates and speak directly with
representatives and current students of the schools in attendance.
“I think the high school fair is
an amazing opportunity for our
students,” says BFCCPS School
Counselor Hannah Hinds. “It allows them to develop skills that
they’ll need later in life – how to
talk to prospective schools just
like they would have to talk to
prospective colleges or prospective employers. They have to
think ahead and plan questions
and critically decide what’s best
for themselves and separate that
from what they’re friends are
doing.”
“A lot of (students) end up
going to traditional public high
schools, but they feel like it’s a
good experience for them to go
through. They feel like it’s a
good practice,” says Zolnowski,
who says that usually 75% of
students who attend are from her
school, which also offers an
SSAT prep course.
The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter School, she says, is
one of the oldest charter schools,
beginning in 1995. Parents who
designed the school based it on
four pillars of learning: character
education, community service,
parents as the prime educator
and classical education.”
At the fair, she says, students
can compare what kinds of
schools are similar or different
from what they’ve experienced.
“I think they come away with
an opportunity for seeing what
other types of schools are out
there. To move to a school where
there’s 250 to 500 in their class
can be overwhelming,” says
Zolnowski.
Not only does the fair feature
representatives who work at the
prospective high schools, says
the principal, but also “one of really neat things about high
school fair is that admission people who come from the high
schools usually bring alumnae,”
says Zolnowski. Eighth graders,
she says, like the opportunity to
interview the former students.
Most of the schools, says Zolnowski, are looking for wellrounded students with high
academic standards.
“Kids have a lot to balance
these days,” says Zolnowski.
“They are so involved in sports,
extra academic classes, in dance,
voice (and more). They really
have to learn how to do all those
things and academics at the
same time.”

schools attending, please go to:

available in the school parking
lot off Pleasant Street, just north
of Main Street in Franklin.

St. Mary's Health Ministry to host
Hospice Palliative Care Program
BY
J.D. O'GARA
What is Palliative Care and
what is Hospice Care? Nancy
Rafter, the Pastoral Associate
Parish Nurse for St. Mary's
Health Ministry, found that a lot
of people have questions about
the two, and so she decided to
reach out to the Community
VNA to create a program for
Franklin residents.
The Journey: Palliative and
Hospice Options will be presented on Monday, November 4,
2013 at 7:30 p.m. in the lower
church presented by Community
VNA Attleboro MA. Anne
Bivins RN, MSN, NC-BC, Manager of Community VNA’s Hospice and Palliative Care program
and Kathryn Henderson, M Div.,
ThM, Spiritual Care Coordinator
will define palliative care and
identify the similarities and differences between hospice and
palliative care. They will also
discuss ways to initiate the conversation related to palliative and
hospice care patients and families and how to assist caregivers
in honoring and maintaining a
personal connection with their
loved ones at the end of life.
"This was something that people had been asking for," says
Rafter, who coordinates the outreach that the St. Mary's Health
Ministry does, incorporating
body, mind and spirit. "Palliative
care has become more and more
important to people, because
people are getting cancer treatment right up until it's no longer
working. They need people to
help them, and hospice is for
people who are no longer getting
treatment."
Anne Bivins, RN, MSN, MBA,
NC-BC, who is the Manager of
Community VNA’s Hospice and
Palliative Care Program, has
been certified as a Nurse Coach
by the American Holistic Nurses
Association. Recognized as an
official nursing specialty by the
American Nursing Association,
holistic nursing is a practice that
focuses on promoting health,
preventing illness, alleviating
suffering, and supporting people
to find peace, comfort, harmony,
and balance. The practice of holistic nursing also encourages
nurses to integrate self-care, selfresponsibility, spirituality, and
reflection in their own lives. This
awareness further enhances
nurses’ increased understanding
of their patients and caregivers.
A Norwood resident, she joined
the Community VNA staff in
2012.
Kathryn Henderson, M.Div.,Th.M.,
who is the Spiritual Care Coordinator for Community VNA’s Hospice and Palliative Care Program,
has recently earned a Masters of
Theology Degree from Boston
College School of Theology and
Ministry. A North Attleboro resident, she joined the Community
VNA staff in 2012. Henderson has
studied meditation practices from
many traditions for more than 30
years and brings a commitment to
finding gentle and holistic means of
supporting the spiritual needs of
patients and their caregivers.
Rafter describes St. Mary's
Health Ministry Mission as a
connection between health and
faith, a way to support and educate in a non-invasive way that is
Gospel centered and inclusive of
all peoples. "We visit people,
and then we advocate," she says.
In one instance, she explains, the
ministry found a cat for a
woman who was lonely. The
ministry reaches out to the community in other ways, too.
"We do an insert in the bulletin
that has all different ways for
people to be healthy," says
Rafter. "For example, we promoted walking and the farmers'
market, and where to get organic
vegetables, and then we talk
about health issues. We're trying
to help people of the church to
be healthy in mind, body and

Fall Kickoff at
Franklin’s Church of
the Redeemer
While there’s lots of focus on
returning to school in the fall,
the Anglican Church of the
Redeemer, 31 Hayward Street
in Franklin, began its fall
events with a focus on family.
Redeemer aims to encourage
families to grow in the Christian faith together, supporting
parents’ efforts as parents share
their faith with their children.
All members of our church
seek to live their faith as one
large family, the youngest in
the parish to the oldest.
Father Jack Potter, Father
Dan Sylvia and the members
of the congregation invite
everyone to come, to study and
to worship with us. You don’t
have to be a believing Christian; if you are a “seeker,”
please come and seek God
with us. There is ample parking and the church is accessible to all. Information is
available by calling (508) 3463423 or at www.redeemeranglicanchurch.org.

Beads for a Cause® Announces New
Partnership for Ovarian Cancer
Launches "Teal Warrior" Bead
Last month, Ovarian Cancer
Awareness Month. Beads for a
Cause® of Boston, Mass., has
launched the new "Teal Warrior"
bead in partnership with the
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA) based in Washington, DC.
OCNA advocates at a national
level for increases in research
funding for the development of
an early detection test for ovarian cancer, improved health care
practices and life-saving treatment protocols. The Ovarian
Cancer National Alliance educates health care professionals,
advocates, and raises public
awareness of the risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer.
Franklin resident Linda Waters,
Founder of Beads for a Cause®
states "Less than 20% of all
cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed at the most treatable
stages, meaning early. And the
symptoms make it nearly impossible to detect early. They include bloating, low back pain,
abdominal pain, and bladder
trouble, among others. For every
woman I know, these are not unusual aches and pains to have, so
ovarian cancer can easily be
overlooked in the early stages"
said Waters, "Understanding genetic predisposition and most
importantly, development of an
early detection test will be the
pivotal turning point to catching
this disease in time to really
make a difference and eventually, to find a cure."
For more information on the
“Teal Warrior” bead, visit the
Beads for a Cause ® website,

FRANKLIN – It was a memorable week for the Franklin Performing Arts Company. Fresh
off news that FPAC had received

selected to sing alongside Anne

scores performed by professional
artists such as drummer Kenny
Hadley, who’s played with music
legends Van Morrison, Dizzy
Gillespie and The Drifters, or
renowned violinist Olivia De

Grammy-winning Esperanza
Spalding. Live music lends an
exciting dimension to FPAC presentations and supports the disciplined and important work of
talented musicians. As community and student performers share
a creative experience – and stage

from Boston, New York and beyond, the interaction raises the
level of production experience

alike.
“I am proud of the level of excellence we have achieved with

that we’re so fortunate to work
with, but keeps them returning
season after season.”
FPAC’s 2013-2014 season
opens with the record-breaking
sensation, Les Misérables, with
performances October 18-20 at
the New England Chapel in
Franklin. The world’s longestrunning musical, Les Misérables
has enjoyed a storied presence
on the world stage for 28 years.
With music by Claude-Michel
Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert
Kretzmer and book by Alain
Boublil, the show’s enduring appeal may be attributed to its
Tony Award-winning score,
memorable characters and epic
storyline. The tale follows Jean
Valjean as he is released from 19
years of unjust imprisonment in
19th century France. Finding
only continued hardship and
mistreatment, he breaks his parole in the hopes of starting
anew. Valjean seeks redemption,
but is relentlessly pursued by his
nemesis, police inspector Javert,
who refuses to believe Valjean
can change his ways. Set against
a backdrop of the 1832 Paris uprising and reflecting a nation in
the grip of a revolution, Les Misérables is a timeless – and
timely – tale of idealism, passion, resiliency and triumph of
the human spirit.
23RD SEASON
continued on page 11
October 1, 2013
23RD SEASON
Les Misérables is entirely sungthrough and the breathtaking harmonies and emotionally charged
melodies are in turn haunting, humorous, devastating and uplifting. FPAC’s
creative team cast a large ensemble of
area talent – 85 voices strong – to add
considerable depth and drama to the
delivery of the musical’s unforgettable
score. Audiences will be moved by
such beloved classics as “Bring Him
Home,” “On My Own,” “I Dreamed a
Dream,” “Do You Hear the People
Sing?” and “One Day More.”
Following Les Misérables, FPAC’s
23rd season continues with a festive
double bill of holiday entertainment,
featuring the Company’s annual presentation of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker on December 14 and 15 and a
new original musical, Carol’s Christmas, on December 21 and 22. A popular holiday tradition for more than 20
years, FPAC’s production of the timeless classic The Nutcracker features
more than 100 area dancers, professional orchestra and special guest
artists (historically from such prestigious companies as American Ballet
Theatre, Boston Ballet and New York
City Ballet), bringing the magic up
close for suburban audiences. The joyous and uplifting Carol’s Christmas
debuts this holiday season, following
one family’s travails and triumphs as
they wrestle with the question: What
do we really want (need!) for Christmas this year? FPAC also presents the
popular comedy rock musical, Little
Shop of Horrors, in March.
FPAC’s annual season also features
the popular Family Concert Series and
Whatever Theater Festival, with all
events offered free to the public. A trio
of Family Concert Series performances, presented in the winter months,
provides audiences of all ages with a
fun and interactive introduction to the
world of live music and theater. The
summertime Whatever Theater Festival showcases an exciting range of
dramatic and comedic works, including a series of one-act plays and a production of Shakespeare staged on
Franklin Town Common.
FPAC also supports Electric Youth,
an international touring ensemble of
talented young singer-dancers backed
by an eight-piece show band of Boston
musicians, and the Friend in Me Theater Company, pairing teens from the
Franklin School for the Performing
Arts (FSPA) with students with special
needs to provide weekly musical theater experiences.
Les Misérables will be performed on
Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday,
October 20 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $28
and $30. For more information and to
purchase tickets, visit www.fpaconline.com or call (508) 528-8668.

NE Patriots to Host HERO Walk at
Gillette to Promote Designated Driving
A campaign to prevent drunk
driving will hold its inaugural
HERO 5K Walk on Sunday, Oct.
20, 11 a.m. at Gillette Stadium, in
Foxborough, Mass. The event,
hosted by the New England Patriots and Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey, is
expected to attract hundreds of
walkers from throughout the
Boston area in support of the
John R. Elliott HERO Campaign
for Designated Drivers.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. at
the stadium’s NRG Plaza. To register online, log on to www.theherowalk.org, or call toll free at
1-866-700-HERO.
The non-profit HERO Campaign was established in 2000 in
memory of Navy Ensign John R.
Elliott, who was killed by a
drunken driver two months after
graduating from the United
States Naval Academy, where he
was named the Outstanding
HERO officer of his class.
Over the past four years the Patriots have set an NFL record by
registering more than 80,000 designated drivers at HERO booths
throughout Gillette Stadium in
partnership with the HERO Campaign and the NFL’s TEAM
Coalition alcohol responsibility
program. Each participating des-
ignated driver for friends or family receives a complimentary soft
drink at stadium concession
stands and Patriot Place. Designated drivers also receive the
chance to be selected for the coin
toss at the following Patriots
home game, or if selected HERO
of the Year, win tickets to join the
Patriots if they are in the Super
Bowl.
The partnership of Norfolk
D.A. Morrissey with area schools
and colleges, law enforcement,
veterans groups, bar and tavern
owners and area businesses to
promote the campaign is especially meaningful as drunk driv-

pete this spring at Festival Disney.
Name brand mattress sets
(Symbol, Restonic, and Therapedic) will be sold at 30 percent to 60 percent below retail
prices. One manufacturer has
won the Consumer Digest Best
Buy Award and Women’s
Choice Award for the eighth
consecutive year. These are all

available. Floor models will be
displayed. The sale is one day

ing is one of Norfolk County’s
biggest problems. A county of
commuters, with Gillette Stadium as the area’s premiere destination, drunk drivers are the
second leading cause of unnatural death in Norfolk County. Last
year, 40 lives were lost in Norfolk
County at the hand of drunk drivers.
“Time to step up and be a
HERO," Morrissey said. "The
more we involve people, particularly young people, in activities
encouraging safe driving and
good decisions, the more lives we
will save and injuries we will prevent. This walk raises money for
the project and enlarges the circle
of people who are involved. It
gives students an opportunity to
earn community service credit in
a way that is as fun as it is con-
structive – a chance to walk
among HEROES.”
All student participants, from
Norfolk County and beyond, will
receive community service credit
for participating in the HERO 5K
Walk.
Presenting sponsor Tedeschi
Food Shops will be joined by
businesses from Patriot Place,
who will sponsor and enter teams
for the HERO 5K Walk, to begin
at Gillette Stadium’s NRG Plaza
and proceed around the stadium,
past the practice field, around Patriot Place Plaza, and finish in
front of CBS Scene for awards
and musical entertainment.

Berry Insurance Kicks off
the 7th Annual Halloween
Costume Drive
It’s that time of year again!
Berry Insurance is participating in the 7th Annual Halloween Costume Drive along
with Four Points by Sheraton
located in Norwood, MA. All
donations are to benefit patients at Children’s Hospital
Boston and their annual Halloween parade. Last year we
had a great turn out of donations from the local community, and we are hoping to top
that this year!
The company is accepting
NEW Halloween costumes,
accessories, and other Halloween “treats,” as well as
cash donations for the cause.
The possibilities are endless,
from make-up, to props, coloring books, stickers, puzzles,
or games. Please, nothing
scary or violent and no
food/candy items. The do-
nated items are collected for
all age groups, from infant to
teen sizes. Costumes for both
girls and boys are welcome!
The donations collected
allow the kids at Children’s
Hospital Boston to celebrate
the joy of Halloween during
their hospital stay. If you
would like to make a contribution to this great cause, please
visit the Berry Insurance office before October 25th, 2013
to donate your gifts or mail
them to Berry Insurance, 31
Hayward Street Suite J,
Franklin, MA 02038.
For more information, please
contact Kaitlyn Pintarich at
(508) 440-2290. Thank you in
advance for helping to make
this Halloween exceptional at
Children’s Hospital Boston.

Trend Alert … The Great Gatsby!
Yes, it’s true….the blockbuster
movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio
has inspired everything from fashion to interior decorating. The
movie, based on a novel written by
F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925 is a tale
of love and ambition set on The
Gold Coast of Long Island during
the jazz age. The style that is
prevalent in this movie is called
“Art Deco” first made popular during this time period.
In the new millennium, opulence
has gone by the wayside for the
most part, but we can still pull in
some features that will add some
of the luxury of this exciting time
in American history.
If you love the idea of decorating
in Art Deco…be sure to incorporate some architectural elements
which have angular line, like the
Chrysler Building for example.
Silver and gold can both be used
for mirrors, picture frames, and al-
ternative wall art. Furniture is
stream lined and sleek, but comfortable.
Use highly lacquered black paint
to cover wood tables and room
screens. Cover an exposed black
wood chair with luxurious white
leather and bring in a bright red,
citron green, blue or yellow sofa
with high arms covered in velour
or chenille. Both will be sumptuous and give off a bit of shine.
Windows should have full length
draperies hung from thick decora-
tor rods or hung under a top treatment. Fabric motifs may include:
birds, leaves, branches for prints or
geometric designs such as
chevrons (zig zag), trapezoids, or
sunbursts.
Go ahead, add a little “Gatsby”
to your interior décor, and see how
it will bring a unique quality to any
room in your home.

Franklin Food Pantry Takes Stock,
Gives Thanks and Reflects on Its Role
Pantry will continue to be to provide immediate hunger relief but it
will also play a pivotal role in
bringing the community together
as one.
Each year the Franklin Food
Pantry assesses its accomplishments and how it can better serve
the needs of the community. The
Pantry has been taking steps toward a three-year plan of action
that encompasses clarifying its
mission and role, and establishing
short and long-term priorities.
Over the next three years, Franklin
Food Pantry hopes to achieve a
solid infrastructure including expanded Board and Committee
membership; enhanced client services and outreach; a first annual
community dinner, and development for future facility improvements.
has also seen a 43% increase in
clients returning weekly for bread
and produce. To help meet the
steadily rising need for services,
the Board of Directors brought on
Erin Lynch to serve as Director of
Development. Ms. Lynch has a
strong background in nonprofit
leadership and community
building, which aligns
with the Pantry’s
goal to create a
broad network
of resources
collaborating
on sustainable solutions.
The Franklin Food Pantry currently provides service to approximately 600 households; which
translate to 1,590 neighbors, 35%
of whom are children. Many of
these households have at least one
working adult but are still unable
to make ends meet. Linda Sottile,
Director of Operations, stated that
in Fiscal Year 2012, the Pantry distributed 186,000 pounds of food,
which is an increase of 35,000
pounds over last year. The Pantry
To g e t h e r
the staff and
board
have
used the last six
months to evaluate
the Pantry’s image,
message and goals for the
future. First on the list was to
design a logo symbolizing its philosophy and role in the community. With the expertise of Ian
Kabat, Director at the Franklin Art
Center, the Pantry found their new
Building the infrastructure necessary to do the work is essential.
“We depend on the support of our
community: the dedicated volunteers, donors, corporate partners,
schools, churches and all of our
neighbors to reach our goals. Food,
non-food and financial donations
are greatly appreciated at all
times throughout the year.
We are thankful for the
continued support
and efforts of
every individual
and group that
has paved the
way to nutrition and steady
meals for our
community,”
said
Lynch.
Fundraising events
are planned to stock
the shelves, drive
awareness and engage the
community in fun ways.
Thank you for helping your neighbors! Last year we distributed 186,000 pounds of food to
1,590 people. The need in our community continues to rise steadily. We are committed to
providing immediate relief from hunger while working towards healthy sustainable solutions.
At this time we are in serious need of shampoo, hand
soap/sanitizer, toothpaste, deodorant, cereal, shaped pasta,
granola bars, and white tuna.
Donations of food and health care products can be dropped off at
43 West Central Street, Tuesday - Friday 9am-1pm.
We also have a bin by the front door to accept non-perishables after business hours.
Monetary donations can be mailed to Franklin Food Pantry, PO Box 116, Franklin MA 02038.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization FEIN#04-3272663.

shaped puzzle made up of four
pieces: people connected and unified in a common purpose. Speaking on behalf of the Board of
Directors, Ms. Lynch said “The
decision
to break away
from traditional images associated
with food pantries, such as corn
husks or loaves of bread, was intentional to relay the larger message that the Pantry is a
collaboration of all residents to
nourish each other in body, mind
and spirit. While we are here to fill
a significant need, we are only a
piece of the total puzzle.”
“We are all in this together,”
states Steve Sherlock, Franklin
Food Pantry’s Board President.
“There are many factors and circumstances that create food-insecurity. We feel well suited to take
the lead with other Franklin agencies and organizations to make
available the necessary resources
for those who can benefit from
them.” The primary role of the

one,” says Piana. “Now, you’d be
hard pressed to find somebody
that doesn’t know about it.”
Piana says families call months
in advance to plan their own activities around the Harvest Festival, so they will be in town for
the event. “They go apple picking in fall, and they come to the
festival.”
The festival will offer more entertainment than ever before, and
over 100 crafters, community
groups and businesses will set up
booths along Main and East Central streets. “The Harvest Festival
has become one big block party
where people can come downtown. It’s that chance to see a lot
of people you’ve been meaning
to call, and to enjoy some really
good food, and see what’s new in
town,” Piana adds. “There is a
growing sense of community
here and we look forward to
showing even more people all
that Franklin has to offer.”
DJ Domenic Cotoia of Music
Odyssey Productions will entertain festival goers with his mix of
Top 40, country and rock and roll
hits throughout the day from his
Main Street location in front of
Rockland Trust Bank, a platinum
sponsor of the event.
Just down the block, the Franklin
School for the Performing Arts
will present three costumed performances with live musical accompaniment on their stage in
front of the school. Show times
are 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30
p.m. Following each performance, families are invited to meet
costumed performers.
Jamie Barrett will entertain the
crowds on the patio outside The
Cake Bar. Barrett, a festival favorite, is sponsored by Jane’s
Frames. Other local bands will
perform throughout the day on
the center island at the corner of
Main and East Central streets.
Also at that end of town, a fun
activities area at the corner of
East Central and Summer streets
will feature an artist creating balloon animals.

On top of great food and entertainment, says Piana,is a chance
to get a head start on holiday
shopping.
“One of the things that I like is a
lot of the businesses that participate are just local businesses, and
a lot of things that they’re selling
are made in America, like the
Franklin Honey Company.
They’re right from here, not imported. We have some local
people that make jewelry, a new
vendor Jam Jar Farms and we
have artists, and pottery. We
even have a lace man, who’s
been involved for a number of
years, who sells beautiful lace.
It’s exciting. You’re going to
buy local things, things made
very locally or at least, for the
most part, made in America.
People are going to find something here, and you’re not going
to be able to go to a big box
store and get it.”

FSPA to Perform at
Harvest Festival
The Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) will present three costumed, half-hour performances, with live musical accompaniment, during the Franklin Harvest Festival on Sunday, October 6. Show times are 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and will take place on the Festival Stage,
in front of the school’s 38 Main Street location. Following each performance, families are invited
to “walk the red carpet” and step inside FSPA’s Character Club, to meet favorite characters and
get autographs as a take-away souvenir. All activities are offered free to the community in celebration of Harvest Festival.
Tours of the facility will be offered throughout the day. For more information about FSPA programs
in music, dance and drama or the Harvest Festival presentations, call (508) 528-8668.
An oversized mural is waiting for kids of all ages to share their
creativity and help create a piece of art for the community. This
piece was begun at the Strawberry Festival, and we expect to finish
it during the Harvest Festival. Children of all ages are welcomed to
join in and create a group mural on a ceiling to floor canvas that
will be stretched, mounted and framed. The finished piece will be
auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Franklin Food Pantry.
Last year, the Franklin School for the Performing Arts presented the debut of its Project Dance at the
Franklin Harvest Festival. This year, the school has three performances planned, all free of charge for festival
attendees, as well as tours of their facility throughout the day.

Flashes and Floaters
BY ROGER M. KALDAWY, M.D.
Milford Franklin Eye Center
Many patients will be aware of
small flying “black spots” in the field
of vision in one or both eyes. These
are called floaters and may be associated with flashes of light. Flashes
and floaters may have serious implications on the vision.
What are floaters?
Floaters are small black shadows in
the vision of one or both eyes, especially when looking at a pale surface
like a white page, a bright sky or perhaps when walking on the
beach. These black spots are impurities in the fluid that fills the back cavity of the eye. This jelly fluid is called
the “vitreous” and is a thick fluid
which has a consistency similar to
“egg white.” This vitreous fluid is
present in the eye from birth, and is
not replaced or exchanged during
life. It is initially attached to the surface of the retina, which is the light
sensitive nerve tissue layer that lines
the back surface of the wall of the
eye. It is important to note that it is
not necessarily abnormal to see black
spots in the vision. The size and
number of floaters seen is variable;
some patients (especially short
sighted people) will be aware of numerous floaters, while others may
never be aware of the symptom at all.
Some floaters can interfere severely
with vision, while others are barely
noticeable. Although annoying,
floaters are usually harmless, and
come and go over the years.
What are flashes?
Flashes are usually caused by the
vitreous body tugging on the retina.
This tugging occurs when the vitreous body shrinks as a normal part of
the aging process. Flashes may last
for a few seconds or several minutes,
and can occur on and off for weeks
or months. They are usually seen at
night or in poor lighting.
Eye migraine can cause the perception of similar light flashes although
often these flashes of light may have
numerous colors. The abnormal light
flashes seen with migraines are usually very different, appearing as
jagged lines blocking an area of vision or moving slowly across the
field of vision in one or both eyes.
People who suffer from migraine
headaches will often know the familiar pattern of these visual experiences, often occurring just before the
headaches begin. These migraine
flashes are unrelated to the vitreous
body and its attachment to the retina.
vitreous body is sometimes more
firmly attached to the surface of the
retina and may pull away a piece of
the retina or tear the retina as it separates. This can cause fluid to escape, pushing the retina off the inside
of the eye. This is known as retinal
detachment, which is a serious threat
to sight. Surgery is needed to reattach
the retina if a retinal detachment occurs.
What causes flashes and
floaters?
The vitreous is composed of collagen, and this undergoes structural
changes with age, and will become
more liquid like and watery in later
life. At some point, the chemical
bonds that link the vitreous fluid to
the surface of the retina will become
weaker and the vitreous jelly will
separate from the retina. This process
is called posterior vitreous detachment or PVD and is a normal consequence of aging. Approximately half
of us will have a PVD in one or both
eyes by the age of 60. PVD will often
cause us to notice the sudden onset
of new floaters, often associated with
flashes of light. Unfortunately, the
When should I seek help?
See your ophthalmologist if new
floaters appear, with or without sudden light flashes. Any loss of peripheral (side) vision should be
investigated without a delay. Your
ophthalmologist will give you a
complete eye examination. Drops
are put in the eyes to enlarge the
pupils and determine whether PVD,
retinal tear, retinal detachment or
bleeding is present. If you have occasional floaters and flashes, you
should have an annual eye examination.
Symptoms of a PVD most often
occur in one eye at a time. Even
though your ophthalmologist will
check both eyes at the first visit, it is
important to realize that if similar
symptoms are experienced in the
other eye, you should see your ophthalmologist again with the onset of
new flashes or floaters as you could
be having a PVD in this eye.
Is there any treatment for
flashes and floaters?
Flashes and floaters are usually just
annoying, not harmful. However,
they can be signs of serious problems
(like a tear on the retina) and, for this
reason, must not be ignored. For
most people, treatment is not necessary. Floaters and flashes usually
subside over time, causing no permanent deterioration to vision.
At Milford Franklin Eye Center,
we use state-of-the-art laser technology to treat a variety of eye problems, including retinal tears with full
evaluation of flashes and floaters. We
are proud to have a dedicated retina
specialist in our practice, specializing
in the treatment of retinal eye disease. With the addition of the new
specialist, we bring to our practice
world class eye care closer to home.

Yoga tip for Being at Ease
Did You Know?
ADDIE ALEX, LIGHT OF THE
HEART YOGA™
There are a host of ways fitness-minded folks can burn a few extra
calories, even if they don't know they're doing it. For instance, those
who can't sit still and tend to have a nervous personality may burn
more calories than a person who is calm. That's because fidgeting can
burn up to 350 calories a day. Laughing more can also burn extra calories. Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10minute workout on a rowing machine. Remember to get some
shut-eye as well. Research has found that dieters who get adequate
sleep can more easily shed weight. For those who are feeling amorous,
engaging in intimate behavior can burn up to 360 calories an hour.
When you breathe with awareness, then each breath has the
power to relax you deeply, right
into every cell of your body!
Easy Breathing
Mostly you breathe with little or
no awareness. However, as soon
as you become aware of how
you’re breathing – smooth and
full, or tight and constricted, or
somewhere in between – then
your breathing begins to shift.
With the busyness of the fall
season, you can find yourself
nearly hyperventilating. This happens when you’re not even noticing that you inhale and exhale.
Paying attention to your breath
allows you to connect with your
own easy rhythm of breathing.
Take four or five breaths and notice how each one is more relaxed
than the previous one. Relaxed,
easy breathing allows you to
move through your day with
more ease.

important part of students’ development. Students in grades 5 and

performers, choreographers and
directors through FSPA’s affiliation with Broadway Artists Alliance (BAA) of New York City.
An unparalleled calendar of performing opportunities at FSPA

Since 1985, FSPA has been dedicated to the enjoyment of the arts
for all ages and to the artistic
growth and development of young
people. Founded by Director Raye
Lynn Mercer and built upon the
notion that arts experiences are an

activities in the community.
According to Council spokesperson, Deanna Grimm, these state

which provides subsidies for Norfolk school age children to attend
cultural field trips.
The Norfolk Cultural Council is part of 329 Local Cultural
Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth.
The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of community-based
projects in the arts, sciences and humanities every year. The state
legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Massachusetts
Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to
each community.
For year 2012-13, the Norfolk Cultural Council will have distributed $3,770.00 in grants. Some of the 2013 grants supported
by the council included the Norfolk Public Library, Girl Scouts,

"Princess" and "Patches," who are mother and

helping out a friend. She was asked to hold her
cats while the friend moved into her new place.
Sadly, the friend never came back to get the cats!
The woman who surrendered the cats couldn't
keep them, because she found her children were
allergic, and each cat is now looking for their forever home. Princess is a very affectionate, domestic shorthair, sleek black beauty. Patches is a black
and white handsome, young adult who is also
friendly, playful and very social. Princess and
Patches would love to meet their new families
soon.
If you are looking for kittens to adopt, PCS
currently has a variety of adorable kittens available.Visit our website www.purrfectcatshelter.org

Fall Financial Tidbits
Summer has come to an end.
Now that the hottest days, family
vacations and back-to-school rush
are behind us, it’s a great time to
give some attention to your personal finances. Prepare for the
coming months – and the holidays
on the horizon – with these fall tips:
• Pay quarterly estimated taxes. If
you’re self-employed or you
have extra income you haven’t
reported on your W-2, now’s
the time to make sure you’re
paying both state and federal
quarterly estimated income
taxes so you don’t get stuck
with a big bill from Uncle Sam
in April. September 16th was
the deadline to pay your third
quarter estimates, but don’t let
Run Your
Listings &

Call Lori Koller
(508) 934-9608
that stop you from sending
something in anyway.
• Prepare for the cooler months.
Although you may still have
summer on your mind, staying
warm gets expensive when
winter hits. Many utility companies offer “budget billing”
plans that allow you to spread
your heating costs over the year
while avoiding a surprisingly
large bill for a particularly cold
month. Also, winterizing your
home this fall conserves energy
and saves money.
• Start saving for the holidays.
It may sound excessive to start
thinking about the holidays in
October, but Christmas is a
less than 90 days away. Now
is a great time to create a holiday spending plan. For instance, if you plan to spend
$300 on gifts, you should start
saving $3-4 per day to get
there. Stashing away cash in
advance allows you to buy
gifts for everyone on your list
without taking on debt. Resolve to start a “Christmas
Club” savings account in the
New Year to jump-start your
savings habit.
• Teach children to save. When
kids return to school, they
often have a renewed sense of
focus and determination.
Schools across the country are
incorporating financial literacy into the classroom. Take
this opportunity to talk to your
children about money and the
importance of saving. Your efforts will be rewarded as your
child develops an understanding of financial principles and
positive financial habits. HarborOneU in Mansfield has a
great free class called “Piggy
Bankers” that can help.
• De-clutter and donate. As
summer winds down and you
start spending more time inside, take a hard look at all the
stuff you’ve been stockpiling.
Sorting through clothes you
no longer wear along with
electronics and unused household items can free-up space
and even make you a little
cash. Sell items at a local consignment shop or donate them
(by making a tax-deductible
contribution).

as well as reviewing your estate

Giardino Broadcasting Games For
Yankees’ N.J. Farm Team
BY KEN HAMWEY
Adam Giardino’s broadcasting
career is continuing to blossom.
The young Franklin High graduate, who started as a cable TV announcer for two of the Panthers’
sports teams, is currently calling
games for the Trenton Thunder,
the double-A affiliate of the New
York Yankees. A year ago, Giardino was in the booth for the
Lakewood (New Jersey) BlueClaws, the single-A affiliate of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Before connecting with the two
minor league squads, Giardino
spent four years at the University
of Connecticut, majoring in journalism and communications. And,
during those days, he immersed
himself in sports, calling games for
10 of the Huskies teams for
WHUS, the campus radio station.
When he was a senior, Giardino
was the station’s sports director.
“I broadcast my first game
within my first two weeks on campus,’’ Giardino said. “I had
emailed the sports director of the
station and told him I was interested in broadcasting. My first
game was men’s soccer. I handled
the color for the UConn-South
Carolina game.’’
Giardino, who finished with a
3.74 GPA at UConn, rates working
at the Final Four in Houston as his
top thrill. The Huskies had won
five straight to capture the Big East
Tourney title, then rolled to six
more triumphs for the NCAA
crown. Giardino was behind the
microphone for all 11 contests.
As a freshman, Giardino already
had made a giant leap as an announcer, going from Franklin girls
basketball and girls lacrosse to
UConn soccer. That soccer game
led to Giardino eventually handling the broadcasts of UConn’s
Final Four basketball appearances
in Detroit and Houston in 2009
and 2011.
“The title came against Butler,’’
Giardino noted. “That was a great
thrill, something I think about
often. I grew as a person and in my
field during that experience. And,
I realized what a good opportunity
John Leighton and Chris Schmidt
had given me when they asked me
to call games for their teams at
Franklin. I knew then I wanted to
be a broadcaster.’’
“I felt like I had a good delivery
for the soccer game,’’ Giardino
said. “I never had done soccer before but it went well. I exhaled bigtime when I was heading back to
my dorm.’’
Working as an intern for the
Pawtucket Red Sox after graduating from UConn, Giardino was
hired as the No. 2 announcer for
the BlueClaws last year. He was

York Yankees.
selected from a pool of 100 candidates.
Now at Trenton, Giardino is enjoying his role with an organization, which is a stone’s throw from
the Yankees in New York.
“As the color man, I interviewed
Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson in
the booth one game,’’ Giardino
noted. “He’s a Yanks advisor and
knows a lot about their prospects.
We also talked on air with Gene
Michael, a former manager of the
Yankees. My top thrill so far was
calling a home run by Alex Rodriguez, who was on a rehab assignment with the Thunder.’’
Although the 6-foot-2 Giardino
is relishing his work in professional baseball, his primary goal,
however, is to return to college athletics.
“Right now, I’m in a good place
at age 24,’’ he emphasized. “I’m
getting great experience that can
lead to future opportunities. I really hope to land a job at a Division 1 university calling football
and basketball games.’’
Giardino’s only varsity sports
venture at Franklin was in golf
where he was usually No. 3 or 4 in
the lineup. He was only 5-foot-7
then and hardly thinking of basketball. His father, Michael, was a dynamic pitcher for the Panthers and
later excelled at Brandeis.
“My parents have been my role
models,’’ Giardino said. “They’ve
been very supportive. And, I’m
grateful to coaches Leighton and
Schmidt for their help. Because of
the chance I got at Franklin, I became pro-active at UConn. Broadcasting is so rewarding because it’s
the next best thing to competing.
You feel like you’re part of the
game.’’
Giardino’s older brother, Sean,
also got a feel for being part of the
game when he provided organ
music at 10 of the Thunder’s
games. Sean is a musician who
studied at the University of New
Hampshire.
Giardino has worked 142 games
for the Thunder. He knows there
are other career stops but he’s also
acutely aware that he must keep
learning and improving on his previous broadcasts.
At 24, Adam Giardino is indeed
in a good spot.

Franklin Volleyball Squad Hopes to Make
Last Year in Field House Memorable
BY CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY
For the past eight years Kate
Horsmann’s Franklin volleyball
squad has never failed to make
the state tournament under her
watch. More impressive is where
the Panthers finish in those tournaments.
Franklin finished 15-4 last Fall,
at second place in the Hockomock League and earning a four
seed in the Central-West Division
1 State Volleyball Tournament.
“We’ve never finished worse
than the Quarter Finals in the
tournament,” the Franklin coach
said. “Unfortunately, we always
seem to hit Lincoln Sudbury
along the lines.”
Franklin once again made it to
the Quarter-Finals of the State
Tournament last season and once
again hooked up with LincolnSudbury, the eventual CentralWest Champions, and was
knocked out of the tournament.
Although the Panthers have
successfully made it into the
State Tournament on a regular
basis, this year is special to the
team and they are hoping to go
out in style.
“We’ll be competitive and have
a shot at winning the Hock once
again,” Horsmann said. “That
would be a big accomplishment
being that this is the last year of
the (Woodrow Wilson) Field
House. The girls would like the
building to go out with a bang.”
Horsmann will be relying heavily on a core of five seniors to
make that dream come true this
fall. Lauren Irvine, whom is the
teams and possibly one of the
best in the league, will play middle hitter for Franklin. The three
year varsity athlete is not only
quick on her feet, but a great
blocker as well.
Beginning the season with a 62 offense Franklin will employ
two setters. Jaimie Marenella will
hold down the number one spot.
Another three-year varsity athlete, she has played a lot of volleyball and is very good
defensive minded player, which,
according to the coach, is unusual
for a setter.
“Not being a big team, to be
successful were going to have to
go with a lot of quick sets and
rely heavily on Jaimie’s ability,”
the coach said.
The other three seniors Horsmann will look to help carry the
team are Amanda Farnan, a defensive specialist who is a very
vocal leader on the court; Rachel
Balon, another defensive specialist and Ashley Kennef, an outside
hitter that has improved her athletic ability over the off-season.
Other athletes that important to
Horsmann's mix are Maggie McDonald, Katelyn Marr, Lauren

Under the guidance of Coach Kate Horsmann, the Franklin Panthers volleyball squad has never failed to make the state tournament, but winning has
been just out of reach. This year, the last at the Woodrow Wilson Field
House with the advent of the new Franklin High School, the girls hope to
go out with a bang.
Although playing in the Hockomock League is never easy Horsmann likes her chances this year,
due to the depth the squad has.
going to depend on who’s playing good at any given time. Some
of the young players will get a lot
of minutes if they continue playing well,” Horsmann said.
“Chemistry and rhythm will also
be a big factor, but I think a big
difference this year will be our
depth at hitter. If someone is having an off game, we can make an
adjustment, unlike last year.”
“The Hock is always tough

Playing in the Hockomock
League will give the Panthers the
high quality competition it needs
to advance through the tournament. According to the Coach,
Canton (which captured the Division 2 Central Finals) will be extremely tough, despite playing in
the small school division of the
league. In addition to Canton,
Franklin will also have the likes
of North Attleboro, Mansfield and
King Philip (a loser to Newton
North in the Division 1 Central
East Finals) to contend with.

Kuney-Todaro Team Places 3rd
The top 25 Teams in New England for the month of August
were announced today by
RE/MAX of New England. The
Kuney-Todaro Team placed #3 in
the top 25. That’s a great accomplishment in such a challenging
real estate market.
The Kuney-Todaro Team focuses
on the town of Franklin MA and
surrounding areas, and there is
currently one month of inventory
in that extreme sellers’ market.
The task of finding fresh listings is
a daily test of marketing proficiency.
There are two very knowledgeable and professional team members who are responsible for this
production. Lorraine Kuney and
Tammy Todaro are the two team
members who surpass the produc-
tion numbers of larger teams. Barbara Todaro is the marketing agent
for the team and the members’ listings. The Kuney-Todaro Team is a
small team with big production!!
Call them for a Free Market
Analysis, and you’ll understand
why The Kuney-Todaro Team
consistently ranks in the top 25 in
all of New England.
It’s A Sign of the Times…
one level living is ideal, and if
there is a second floor, it’s for a
guest room with a full bathroom. All the necessary rooms
for everyday living are on the
first floor including the laundry
room and the attached garage.
Another reason for moving to
an adult community condo is
the maintenance free factor.
Leave the shovels, rakes and
lawn mowers with the resale
property. Those are the chores
that will be addressed by the
management company.
Baby boomers are down-sizing and searching for the right
active adult community. The
town of Franklin MA has several new adult communities
under construction, and open
house Sundays are usually a
very busy day for real estate
agents and baby boomers.
Still another reason for moving is to be surrounded by other
people of the same age group
with similar interests. Every
occupant needs to be over 18,
and one needs to have reached
55 years of age.
The main reason that the 55+
group has decided to make the
move to a condo is the convenience of a first floor master bedroom suite. The convenience of
If you are 55 year of age or
older, and the thought of not
climbing stairs is running
through your mind, take a moment and call or visit an active
adult community in Franklin
MA. Maybe you’ll like the idea
of moving and maybe you
won’t, but until you look at all
of your options, you won’t
know.
There are three active adult
communities in Franklin MA
that are at their last phase. Most
will be sold out soon. Get there
while you can, and see what
others are enjoying for modern,
convenient living.
