37th Annual Feast of
St. Rocco August 13-16
Making a Difference in
Deleting Blood Cancer
Graci Family, St. Mary’s Once Again to
Host Bone Marrow Registry Drive
By J.D. O’Gara
Last year they registered
nearly 400 potential bone marrow donors, and from that
group there were five potential
matches, better than the odds.
This year, they hope even more
people will stop at their booth
for a quick swab of the cheek
to register for the National
Bone Marrow Registry.
Registering as many potential bone marrow donors
as possible is an important
mission for the Graci family, “Because we knew what
it was like to wait for a donor
and find a match. Without the
donors, there is no cure,” says
Rita Graci, who is embarking on the second year of her
bone marrow registry drive at
the Feast of Saint Rocco, from
August 14-16. “If your loved
one, your child, your husband,
your brother – if your loved
one is sitting there waiting for
a cure, you’re hoping to God
that they’re going to find a
match, and the donor is willing to donate.”
Although she eventually
lost her battle to leukemia at
age 21 in April 2010, Rita’s
daughter Kristin Graci received the gift of bone marrow from a donor in England,
which bought her some extra
time in this world with her
loved ones. She was among the
minority (four in 10) of patients

WE NEED HOMES TO SELL!!
By J.D. O’Gara
“You don’t have to go to the
North End to enjoy a good Italian feast.”
That’s what Vinny and Alma
Debaggis used to say, says Feast
of St. Rocco planner Peter
Brunelli of the late, beloved volunteers of the event, which is
celebrating its 37th
year at St. Mary’s
Church in Franklin, this year. The
feast takes place
across from the
Franklin Town
Common behind
the Benjamin Franklin Classical
Charter School. It features food,
rides and entertainment.
Visitors should bring their
appetites, because the event is
a feast in the true sense of the
word, featuring myriad dishes
often found at North Endstyle feasts. Friday night, says
Brunelli, those not sure what to
order can try a sampler platter,
of one stuffed quahog (“stuffie”)
with green pepper sauce, one
macaroni and cheese ball, two
chicken wings, two chicken fingers, two mozzarella sticks and
two toasted ravioli.
“Friday night we sell mostly
appetizers for some reason,” says
volunteer Paula Coughlin.
“We give them some good
food and have some fun doing
it,” says Brunelli.
The Feast of St.
Rocco has kept pace
with the times. In
addition to radio
slots it runs on
WMRC, it now has
a Facebook page,
with over 700 likes. Brunelli
says, “We’ll start posting more
stuff now, and we’re going to
post through the weekend, with
pictures and updates.
The original calzone, featuring pepperoni, black olives,
provolone cheese and a secret
ingredient (come to the booth to
find out) will be back this year,

who are lucky enough to find a
match and receive a transplant.
Even after registering for the
bone marrow registry, the odds
of matching with a patient are
like winning the lottery, according to Delete Blood Cancer
DKMS. The donor and patient
should share at least 8 HLA tissue characteristics. Therefore,
every new donor increases the
odds for those who need it. Donors need to be ages 18-55, and
sign up merely requires a registration form and a tissue swab to
assess the HLA information.
If, however, by some chance
a donor is a good match, donating bone marrow is a lot simpler
than people think, says Graci.
Most (85%) are asked to donate
through peripheral blood stem
cell donation.
“They just do it peripherally.
The hardest part is waiting there
4-8 hours,” says Graci, who says
she finds that young adults are
more willing to sign up than are
those over 30, although mothers
are quick to register, she says.

mation is stored anonymously
on the database until the donor
reaches the age of 61. If the donor
is a match for a patient, the donor
will be asked to provide a blood
sample and possibly undergo
a few more tests. If the tests are
positive, the donor will be asked
to donate either peripherally or

Prior to holding donor drives
in Franklin, Rita says her son Justin Graci partnered with Delete
Blood Cancer DKMS to hold a
number of drives, with the help
of a great group of friends, whom
Graci refers to as her “other children,” at UMass Amherst, where
he was a student. Now, Justin has
graduated, but he and his friends,
whom Rita refers to as her other
children, are equally enthusiastic about registering in Kristin’s
hometown.
Where St. Rocco was the
saint of healing, Rita thought it
would be great to hold it during
the Feast of Saint Rocco. The
organizers of the event thought
so, too.
The Feast of Saint Rocco will
take place in the parking lot of
the Benjamin Franklin Classical
Charter Public School in Franklin from August 13-16, but the
Graci’s and their volunteers will
be manning the booth from the

Some other culinary delights to be found at the feast
include fried dough, Italian sausages (900 pounds have been
ordered), Italian meatballs,
manicotti, eggplant parmesan,
fried clams, clam chowder and

Those looking for a lighter

for tomato salad, which has tomatoes, peppers, pickling cukes,
basil, olve, red wine vinegar

That’s great alone or over pasta.
“It’s very refreshing,” says
Coughlin. “It’s made fresh. The
veggies are all cut up Thursday,
but we make a batch Friday and
Saturday morning and before
the dinner rush Saturday night.”
Don’t forget dessert! The traditional Italian pastry booth will

Another volunteer who comes
through each year for the Feast
of St. Rocco is Phyllis Ciannavei,
says Brunelli. For 37 years, she
has donated a hand-painted ceramic Christmas tree and ceramic
nativity scene. This year, she’s
added two ceramic pumpkins and
two ceramic turkeys for the raffle.
The North-End style Feast celebrates Saint Rocco, the patron
saint of the sick and impoverished, who was born (with a red
cross birthmark) in Montpelier,
France toward the end of the 13th
century. Saint Rocco is said to
have inherited great wealth, but
gave up his material possessions.
A man of great faith, he is said to
have devoted his time and effort to
the infirm, healing the sick.
A statue of St. Rocco, donated
by Nick Verna in 1959, stands on
the grounds where the annual
Feast is held. As a child, Nick had
been very ill. His mother took
him to a shrine of St. Rocco,
ST . ROCCO

and when he recovered, she
believed that Verna had the patron saint to thank for his life.
The St. Rocco statue, in fact, is
featured as part of the festival
on the final day, when, after a
10:30 a.m. mass, a procession
will carry the statue back to the
festival grounds.
Opening Mass for the celebration will be held at 10:30
a.m. on August 9th, the Sunday prior to the feast, followed
a Mass for the Sacrament of
the Sick on Saturday at 10
a.m., and the closing Mass is
on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
St. Mary’s Parish runs all
the food booths, along with
the help of nearly 600 volunteers, before, during and after
the feast each year. Some volunteers work as few as three

Franklin Library Program Heads to the Rail Trail
By Marjorie Turner Hollman
cardboard creations with the
organizers until the following
Saturday when they could visit
the SNETT to find their owls,
which would be hiding along the
trail. Goody bags were waiting
for the children at the trailhead
after their hunt, courtesy of the
Franklin/Bellingham Railtrail
Committee.
My granddaughter was only
concerned that she might not be
able to figure out which owl was
hers. No problem—each child’s
name was written on the back of
their cardboard owl. But in fact,
they all looked quite distinctive.
Once the owls were created, I
then heard from the same granddaughter, “How long is it till Saturday?” It was hard to wait!
On the Saturday of the owl

If you took a walk along the
Southern New England Railtrail (SNETT) in Franklin on a
recent Saturday morning, you
might have thought you were
experiencing Christmas in July.
Numerous little cardboard owls,
complete with googly eyes, reminiscent of homemade Christmas
ornaments, dangled on strings
from pine branches along the
trail in Franklin, near the Grove
Street entrance to this proposed
railtrail. Franklin is the trail
head of the approximately 22
mile trail system that runs from
Franklin to Douglas.
Franklin/Bellingham railtrail
committee members teamed
up with the Franklin Library to
create a program to entice children and their families onto the
local proposed trail. The idea?
Create small cardboard owls
as a craft project during one of
the Franklin Library’s weekly
drop in craft sessions (Mondays,
1-2 p.m.). After children created their owls, they left their

who brought her daughters Olivia and Abby to find Olivia’s
owl, was excited to visit the
SNETT. “I never knew this trail
was here!” she said.
Committee member Renata
Gilarova noted that they had
30 owls to hide along the trail.
“This is great. We offered the
same program last year and only
got about 8 people to come, but
this year we got the word out. All
but two of the owls got picked
up.” Gilarova’s son Dominik
helped out with the event as
well, as part of his service hours
for Lion’s Heart Teen service organization, (Franklin Chapter).
Patty Digan, another committee member, who brought
her dog Fitzy to the trail for the
event, affirmed the success of
the program. “We really love to

The path of the SNETT

connected central Massachusetts with Connecticut. The
first section, from Franklin to
Blackstone, was completed in
1849; the Blackstone to the

Big Y Debuts
Shopping Carts
for Special Needs
Children
Big Y Foods, Inc. is pleased to announce that they have
installed Caroline’s Carts in 44 of their supermarkets as of July
1. Caroline’s Cart is a shopping cart for special needs older
children and some adults. It provides parents and caregivers
a viable option for transporting a child through a store while
grocery shopping, without having the impossible task of maneuvering a wheelchair and a traditional grocery cart at the
same time. Caroline’s Cart is named after Caroline, the special
needs daughter of Drew Ann and David Long of Alabama.
According to their web site, www.carolinescart.com, Drew
Ann Long saw the need for Caroline’s Cart after realizing that
her daughter would outgrow a typical shopping cart. She designed the cart and worked with the world’s largest cart manufacturer, Technibilt to produce and distribute these carts.
Big Y is the first retailer in Western New England to provide Caroline’s Carts for their shoppers. Their program is in
collaboration with Proctor and Gamble. Big Y management
will continue to monitor cart usage and add to their list of
stores providing these carts since space constraints make it difficult to have them in every store.

Head in the Game.” With high
energy and winning style, the
movie’s memorable characters
come to life, as star athlete, Troy,
falls for brainy beauty, Gabriella,
the new girl at fictional East High.
When the two audition for lead
roles in their high school musical,
they threaten the status quo and
divide the school’s social cliques.
Along the way, these jocks, brainiacs, thespians, and skater dudes
teach us about first love, peer
pressure, and the importance of
breaking free of others’ expectations and learning to be true to
yourself.

Addiction Expert Dr. John Francis Kelly to
Speak in Franklin August 12
Community Coalition on Opioid Abuse
Draws Volunteers, Momentum
By J.D. O’Gara
At the end of June, Franklin
held its first Community Coalition on Opioid Abuse. This
month, Franklin Boy Scout Ben
Waters, 17, is keeping the momentum going, helping to bring
Dr. John Francis Kelly, Ph.D, to
Franklin High School to give a
presentation on addiction. Dr.
Kelly will speak at Franklin High
School on August 12, at 7 p.m.
Dr. Kelly is an Associate Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard
Medical School, the founder and
Director of the Recovery Research Institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH),
the Program Director of the Addiction Recovery Management
Service (ARMS) and the Associate Director of the Center for
Addiction Medicine at MGH.
Dr. Kelly is President Elect of the
American Psychological Association (APA) Society of Addiction
Psychology, and is also a Fellow
of APA.
He has served as a consultant
to U.S. federal and the national
Institutes of Health (NIH); to
non-Federal institutions and
internationally. He is currently
an Associate Editor for the journals, Addiction, and the Journal of
Substance Abuse Treatment and has
published more than 100 peer-
reviewed articles, reviews, and
chapters in the field of addiction.
“He had a lot of impressive background in the subject,
but part of his presentation was
about this need to treat it as a
brain disease and a public health
crisis than as a drug problem.
For people who are addicted, it’s
not a choice, and he talked about
the words ‘dirty’ and ‘clean’ and
using words in a certain way to
treat it like a public health issue,”
says Waters, who has chosen this
effort, under the guidance of
Rep. Jeff Roy and Town Councilman Peter Padula, as the focus
of his work toward earning Eagle
Scout. Waters reached out to Dr.
Kelly after hearing his presentation to the Needham Coalition.
“Ben Waters has been very
instrumental in putting (this talk)
together. I’m very proud of the
work he’s done in his approach
to Eagle Scout,” says Rep. Roy.
He wanted to do something that
is going to impact lives, and he’s
done a really good job.”
Ben hopes that people who
didn’t go the Community Coalition meeting on June 30 will come
to the presentation by Dr. Kelly.
“I want people who might
not be convinced this is their
problem. At every meeting I’ve

gone to, I’ve either been fired
up, or depressed that this is such
an issue. I’m 17. I’m the demographic, from a suburb of Boston, fairly affluent community.
It’s not the same problem it was
30 years ago. I want people to
understand it’s something that’s
affecting the community, and as
part as the community, it’s affecting them.”
Rep. Roy has been actively
working to make the Community Coalition a successful reality
in Franklin.
“The community forum on
June 30 was fantastic,” Roy says.
He estimates that about 209
people came.
“It was very telling and clearly
demonstrated that there is a need
and a desire in the community to
have this type of conversation. I
was glad to see the tremendous
turnout,” says Roy.
As a result of the initial meeting, says Roy, a commitment
was made to doing some type
of large group meeting on a
monthly basis. In addition, two
support groups developed from
the first meeting, one called
“Franklin Hope” that meets
on Monday nights at the Unitarian Universalist Church on
Chestnut Street at 7 p.m., and
another, “Healing Hearts,” that
meets on Thursdays. In Franklin, two support groups were already meeting on Tuesdays and
Fridays, but at the Community
Coalition meeting it was determined that there is a need for
more support and meetings.
“I think the goal is to have
meetings seven nights a week,”
says Roy.
Rep. Roy was impressed with
the number of people who were
interested in becoming involved,
from all perspectives of the problem. Smaller sub-groups have
formed to hone the organization’s, create the group’s Web
and social media presence, gather
more data from the town by developing a survey, and providing
more programming and speakers.

“I just have to say that I’ve
been deeply motivated by a number of people that have reached
out who have been looking for
this type of group in the community. It’s had a tremendous
impact on me in addressing the
need. I’m so encouraged that we
have so many people who have
stepped up to the plate who want
to lend a hand from all walks of

community that has the type of
people who want to do that,”

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

SVdP Backpack Drive August 21-23
Annual Drive at St. Mary’s Church Helps
Students in Need
By J.D. O’Gara
Going back to school can get
pricey these days. Gone are the
days where one package of number two pencils and a five-subject
notebook would do the trick in
back-to-school supplies. These
days, filling one backpack with
pencils, pens, highlighters, post-its,
binders, composition notebooks
and more as required by each
grade can set a family back by $50
or more per child. For those not
making ends meet, sending a child
back to school with the necessary
supplies may be a formidable task.
Thankfully for area residents,
the St. Vincent de Paul Society
of St. Mary’s Church in Franklin
conducts a backpack collection
each year.
“The comments we receive
from the people who get these
backpacks are just incredible,”
says Mary Hazlett, SVdP volunteer, who says that not only are
people in need grateful to get
them, but that some donors are
very generous. “Some of them
are L.L. Bean backpacks, some
with five bucks in it that say ‘the
first lunch is on me.’”
Last year, says Hazlett, the
group gave out somewhere between 80 to 100 backpacks, for all
different grades.
“Students help put them together,” she says, “the get service
credits for that.” Hazlett says that
the kids will think of things to put
in the backpacks that adults might
not, such as a magnetic locker mirror for a teenage girl’s backpack.
This year’s collection will take
place the weekend of August 21,
22, and 23.
“We ask (donors) to bring completed backpacks down to the
lower church. We have tables set
up for them,” says Hazlett, who
adds that volunteers group them
by grade.
“We distribute them on August
24 and 25. They come right in and
they go right out,” she says, not-
ing, “People have already actually
started to call us to make sure that
they’re on a list to get one.” The
charitable group of St. Vincent
de Paul does not ask where callers
come from.
“It’s open to anyone who’s in
need,” says Hazlett. “We also will
give food to everybody,” referring
to the food pantry the society operates from St. Mary’s.
Usually, says Hazlett, there are
no backpacks left over, but in the
case that there is, “we distribute
them to the school nurses,” she
In particular, items for the high
school backpacks are always in
need, she says.
“A lot of thought goes into
this,” says Hazlett. “I think some
parents, when they are buying
their children a backpack, might
think to buy an extra one.”
The Society of St. Vincent de
Paul also holds a Friends of the
Poor Walk each year. This year,
that walk is slated for 9 a.m. –
11 a.m. on September 26. Look
for more information in our next
issue.

says, “because we know there are
children who come to school who
don’t have what they need, so they
are very happy to get them.”
If you would like to help out
and donate a backpack, the St.
Vincent de Paul Society of St.
Mary’s asks that the backpack be
new. Supplies such as gluesticks,
pencils, crayons, washable markers, composition notebooks, pencil
pouches, one-inch binders, USB
drives, scissors, loose leaf paper,
red ink pens and highlighters are
the types of items also sought.

Medical Savings Plan Used for Weight Loss Program
Having the advantage of his
medical savings plan to cover the
costs to join New England Fat
Loss (NEFL) was a great bonus
but not the primary influence for
John Ford joining the weight loss
program. With his first grandchild
due in November, and warnings
from his doctor of the dangerous
physical consequences of excess
pounds, Ford felt an urgency for a
healthier life.
In a physical the week before
he joined NEFL, Ford’s doctor
suggested medications to regulate
his cholesterol and blood sugar
levels to add to his blood pressure
prescription. He was extremely
uncomfortable with the thought
of taking additional medications. He remembered reading
a NEFL article that talked about
the results one patient had where
his weight loss resulted in the reduction of medications he had to
take. Ford asked his doctor for
some time to see if losing weight

might help him reduce his symptoms.
“I said, give me 50 days, and he
said ok, you’ve got 50 days,” Ford
said.
On April 23, Ford joined
NEFL.
“I needed to do something and
this type of approach resonated
with me,” Ford said. “Part of my
logic was, I can probably stand on
my head for 40 days, if I can’t do
something like that [NEFL], there
is something tragically wrong.”
The 58-year-old could and did
commit to 40 days and lost an impressive 28 pounds. In fact, at the
time of this interview, Ford has
dropped a total of 36 pounds! The
Hopedale resident was thrilled
with the results, and revisited the
doctor almost two months later as
promised.
“It was literally 50 days later
and I was in his office and the first
thing he said to me is, ‘Wow, you
kicked ass!’ Ford said. “My blood
pressure was 100/70 and the
medication was working too well
and he took me off. My cholesterol
levels were now well within range
and I am no longer pre-diabetic.”
Ford’s commitment to his
health, as well as the support of
the NEFL program and staff
all contributed to his successful
weight loss. During Phase I, he
was in daily contact with Dr. John
to guide him through obstacles
and plateaus and received a tremendous education on his personal metabolism.
“I would text the doctor every
day and within a half hour he
would respond with encouragement or adjustments,” Ford said.
I am thrilled I did it, and kicking
myself that I did not find it earlier.”
Don’t look back, look forward

Loss’ two convenient locations: 22

Exsultet! Seeks a Few
Great Sopranos
By J.D. O’Gara
Are you a soprano singer looking for a musical challenge beyond the traditional lineup of
a community chorus? Would
you like to sing with and learn
from other talented singers, collaborating on musically-infused
artistic presentations? Exsultet!
may be just for you,
and they’re holding
open auditions on
August 31 and September 14, from 7 – 9
p.m. at the First Congregational Church of
Holliston, 725 Washington Street, Holliston.
Exsultet!, a chamber choir
of 12 singers, aspires to be the
premier women’s ensemble of
the Metrowest area. Entering
its third season, it seeks vocally
experienced singers who have
an aptitude and the skill level
to learn musically challenging
pieces.
“They must be able to learn
their music on their own before
rehearsal,” says Richard Larraga, artistic director. “Typical for the average community
group is that you learn the notes
in rehearsal. We’re expecting
them to learn the notes before
rehearsal. We’re looking for
women who want a musical
challenge.”
Although Exsultet! has residence in a church, the group
is not otherwise affiliated with
any church or church group. In
fact, singers come from a variety of faiths and backgrounds.
“We are not a church choir. We
do perform a mixture of sacred
and secular music of many different centuries and styles,” says
Larraga. “We are musically flexible, eclectic and diverse.” In addition, Exsultet!’s performances
fuse dramatic prose with eclectic, yet artistically vibrant musical selections.
Exsultet!’s last performance,
for example included “Ride on
King Jesus” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.”
“Our musical fare runs a
large gamut of musical styles.
We do a mix at every concert.”
The group presents two concerts
a year, one in January and one
in May, with occasional smaller
performances at local events, as
permitted. Upcoming concerts
include an “Around the World”
themed concert on January 23,
2016, featuring lullabies from
around the world as well as a
spring concert dedicated to first
responders on May 21, 2016.
J
The group hopes to draw
singers who not only sing well
and know music, but whose
voice blends well with other
singers of the same caliber.
“I’m not listening to you as a
soloist, I’m listening to you as a
choral member, and that group
is going to be no larger than 12
women. A fit is very important
to us, on a personal level as well
as on a musical
level,” says Larraga, who explains
that potential singers will be able to
download and review the audition piece on the
group’s website at www.exsultet.
us.
The group’s active season
runs from September through
May, with rehearsals on Monday evenings, from 7-9 p.m.
including holidays except for
Labor Day. Larraga also invites
high school singers to come intern with the group.
For more information, please
visit www.exsultet.us, find them
on Facebook (Exsultet), or contact Malinda Teague at [email protected].

New Director for Charles River Chorale
The Charles River Chorale is
pleased to announce the appointment of Ashley F. Nelson as its new
Chorale Director. With the retirement of Roy Kelley, Founding
Director and Director Emeritus,
who served as the Charles River
Chorale’s Director for 30 years,
the Chorale had mighty big shoes
to fill. After an extensive search,
Ashley was the clear choice given
her experience, credentials and vision for the future of the chorale.
“I am thrilled to begin this
new chapter with Charles River
Chorale as their music director. I
look forward to a successful season
filled with new relationships and
wonderful music,” says Ashley.
During her tenure as choral
director at Hopkinton Middle
School and Norwood High
School, these choirs consistently
achieved superior ratings at festi-
vals and a record number of students were accepted into District,
MMEA All-State, and NAfME
All-Eastern choirs. Along with
her private music studio, she will
begin a new position as choral
director at King Philip Regional
High School.
Ashley, an accomplished composer, arranger, choral conductor/clinician, music educator
and vocalist has both Bachelor’s
and Master’s degrees in Music
Education (vocal emphasis) from
Boston University’s School for
the Arts. She sang with the Boston University’s Chamber Choir
and Symphonic Choir and was
the music director and primary
arranger for Terpsichore, BU’s
premier all-female a cappella
group. She was a member of,
and did the arranging for Undertone, a Boston-based semi-
in music educator journals, frequently presides and presents clinics at MMEA Conferences, and is
a hired choral clinician & adjudicator.
For the last 15 years, Ashley has
been composing and arranging
music. In 2004, she independently
produced her own album, In My
Room, showcasing her songwriting, piano, and vocal skills. Ashley
has recently become interested in
choral arranging and has several
pieces published with Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Inc.
professional a cappella group.
She has spent more than a decade on the MICCA Executive
Board as Choral Festival Chairperson, and served as manager
for the MMEA All-State Chorus. Ashley has published articles

Over one hundred bowls were
handmade by art association
members. The glazing and firing
took place in the Franklin High
School with the help of FHS ce-
ramics teacher Brenna Johnson.
Throughout the festival,
member artists will have art and
photography on display at Dean

Mosquito Control Applications
in Area on Monday Nights
Norfolk County Mosquito Control
District Also Offering Free Tire Recycling
The Norfolk County
Mosquito Control District
(NCMCD) conducts weekly,
ground-based, area-wide mosquito control applications. The
NCMCD conducts these applications in Franklin, Medway
and Millis, on Monday evenings
after sunset until midnight.
Areas to be treated are based on
mosquito surveillance and resident requests. The applications are conducted weather
permitting; low temperatures
and rain preclude applications.
NCMCD uses a product
called Zenivex. The active ingredient in Zenivex has been
tested and approved through the
EPA for use in outdoor residential and recreation areas. It is the
only mosquito adulticide on the
market today that has received a
reduced risk classification from
the EPA. The product has a low
toxicity profile for mammals,
avians and plants.
Residents who wish to request
that the District spray their area
should fill out an online request
form at the District’s website,
www.norfolkcountymosquito.
org (click on the menu link at
the top of the home page), or
call the office at (781) 762-3681
any day, but before 10 a.m. on
the day of the application, to be
included in that week’s application.
If any resident wishes to
know where the District may
spray in their town, they can
visit the District’s website where
an interactive map is available
after 3:30 p.m. on that day
showing locations where applications are scheduled to take
place. Residents may also call

an after-hours hotline (617-5826216) after 3:30 p.m. on the day
of spraying to find out if their
street is to be included in the application for that evening.
If a resident wishes to be excluded from these area-wide applications, they must follow state
regulations, which include sending a request for exclusion to the
Town Clerk’s office. A request
for exclusion must be made each
year. More detailed instructions
and a link to the state law are
available on the District’s website.
In an effort to reduce the
mosquito population, NCMCD
is also recycling used tires (off
the rim, please) for residents of
member communities at no cost.
Tires must be passenger and
light-truck tires (again, OFF the
rim), and up to 10 tires may be
recycled per household per year.
A Used Tire Recycling form is
available at the website www.

Test Optional
Admissions Policy
Begins at Dean
College in Fall 2016
Dean College has joined the
growing list of colleges to become
SAT/ACT Test Optional. After
years of requiring these tests for
admission to the college and after
careful consideration, Dean has
decided to embrace the emerging
policy beginning with students enrolling in the fall of 2016.
“The test-optional policy will
better align the College with its
commitment to a student-centered education. We do not want
to put any barrier to enrollment
at Dean. We value applications
from students of all backgrounds
and all academic experiences,”
said John Marcus, Vice President
of Enrollment and Marketing at
Dean.
The Office of Admissions
will evaluate each prospective
student based on the high school
(and college if any) transcripts,
personal essay, extracurricular
and leadership activities and letters of recommendation. While
students who take either or both
tests are encouraged to send them
to the college to supplement their
application, the tests will not be
required. Students without test
scores will receive the same consideration for merit scholarships
based on their submitted application materials.
As a result of this new policy,
admissions officials hope motivated students who did not take
the test or have more modest test
scores will be encouraged to apply.
“We approach our decisions in
a very holistic manner, considering the entire experience the student has had over their four years
of high school. We are looking
for student’s potential for success
based on their experiences both
in and out of the classroom,” said
Iris Godes, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment and Dean of
Admission.
To learn more about Dean
College’s new test-optional policy,
please contact the Office of Admissions by calling 1-877-TRYDEAN or email admissions@
dean.edu.

involvement and grade point average. Once applications are reviewed, finalists are interviewed by

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,
Milford Franklin Eye Center
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a deterioration or
breakdown of the eye’s macula.
The macula is a small area in the
retina that is responsible for your
central vision, allowing you to see
fine details clearly. There are two
main types of age-related macular degeneration: The “dry” form
of macular degeneration is characterized by the presence of yellow deposits, called drusen, in the
macula. The “wet” form is caused
by the growth of abnormal blood
vessels from the choroid underneath the macula. Those can leak
blood and fluid into the retina,
causing distortion of vision.
If you have an advanced form
of macular degeneration, you
are probably taking vitamins and
antioxidants supplements to help
slow down the progression of this
disease. More than a decade after
the first Age Related Eye Disease
Study (AREDS) showed that taking daily high doses of vitamins
C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and
copper can slow down the progress of AMD, a second study
(AREDS 2) has revealed that
adding certain antioxidants to the
original formula does not provide
any extra benefit to patients.
Advanced AMD can lead to
significant vision loss, and in the
United States it is the leading
cause of blindness. About 2 million Americans have advanced
AMD; another 8 million are at
risk. The first AREDS study was
conducted by the National Eye
Institute and concluded in 2001. It
showed that the original AREDS
formula can reduce patients’ risk
of the advanced form of AMD
by about 25 percent. The formula
helps protect people’s central vision, which is needed for reading,
driving, recognizing faces and
other daily activities.
AREDS2, which concluded in
2011, tested several antioxidant
nutrients that earlier research had
suggested might protect the eyes:

lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3
fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids
are produced by plants and are
present in oily fish such as salmon.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, a class of plant-derived
vitamins that also includes betacarotene, and are present in leafy
green vegetables. The body uses
these nutrients to maintain the
health of the retina, the part of
the eye that can be damaged by
AMD. Participants in AREDS2
were assigned to take one of four
different AREDS formulas daily
for five years.
The AREDS2 research team
did find that two patient subgroups benefited from taking
variants of the original AREDS
formula. The risk of developing
advanced AMD was reduced by
about 18% in study participants
who took the variant that included
lutein and zeaxanthin but no betacarotene, compared with participants who took the variant that
had beta-carotene but no lutein
or zeaxanthin. And those participants whose diets were low in lutein and zeaxanthin at the start of
the study, but who took a variant
with lutein and zeaxanthin during the study, were about 25% less
likely to develop advanced AMD,
compared with similar participants who did not take lutein and
zeaxanthin. The researchers say that removing beta-carotene from the
AREDS formula and adding lutein and zeaxanthin will result in
a single formula that is safe and effective for all AMD patients. Until
now, people who were current or
former smokers could only use a
formula that excluded beta-carotene, because it had been linked
to risk of lung cancer for these
patients. About half of AREDS2
participants were former smokers. Another recent AREDS report
showed that the benefits of taking the AREDS formula appear
to be long-lasting. Participants in
the first AREDS study who took
the original formula daily for five
years continue to enjoy a 25%

lower risk of developing advanced
AMD. Most report that they are
still taking the supplement. How about if I do not have
AMD or an early stage of this
disease? Should I take these
supplements anyway?
There’s no evidence the supplements help the vision of healthy
adults or people with earlier stages
of AMD. The best advice for most
people is to eat a good balanced
diet with plenty of leafy greens
and fish. Such a diet is good for
hearts, and it certainly can’t hurt
your eyes.
If you have an advanced form
of AMD, you will find on your
local pharmacy shelves supplements labeled “AREDS-2.” These
are the updated supplements to
look for.
At Milford Franklin Eye Center, we use state-of-the-art technology to treat a variety of eye
problems, including macular degeneration. We are proud to have
a Boston Harvard dedicated retina
specialist in our practice, specializing in the treatment of retinal eye
disease and AMD. With the presence of this service, our practice

McLaughlin Continued a Family Legacy
in Tri-County Lacrosse
By Christopher Tremblay
He had begun playing lacrosse with the Franklin Youth
Program nearly a decade ago as
a midfielder, and by the time he
stepped off the Tri County field
for the final time, he was a prolific goaltender for the Cougars.
“When I originally began
playing lacrosse for the youth
league, I just went out and
played because I enjoyed the
sport,” Tri-County midfielder
Dan McLaughlin said. “In high
school, I continued to play midfield for the junior varsity and
varsity team before the coach
tuned me into a goalie.”
The team currently had a
Mayflower League All Star in
TJ McLaughlin (Dan’s older
brother) but Coach Matt Murphy knew that come the following season, the team would
once again be without a goalie
so he approached the younger
McLaughlin to be the predecessor.
“Dan was the fourth of seven
kids where his older brother was
a goalie for us back in 2009 and
his third brother, who was originally an attacker, became an all
star goalie,” the Cougar head
coach said. “I was once again
going to run out of goalies, so I
said the same thing to him; your
Dan McLaughlin cashed in on some inherited talent when he was urged
to play the position his older brothers had played, that of lacrosse
goalie for the Franklin Youth Program. The athlete will attend UMASS
Lowell in the all, to play hockey and lacrosse.
brothers played the position at a
high level and I believe you can
too.”
Therefore midway through
his sophomore season, where he
was not a bad midfielder, Murphy decided to move yet another
McLaughlin between the pipes
for the good of the team. TJ had
led the Cougars to back to back
State Vocational Championships,
the second with his younger
brother as his back-up.
“Coach told me that TJ was
SPRING CLEAN UPS
MULCH • LAWN MAINTENANCE
a good goalie, so I should be a
good goalie,” the former midfielder said. “I did it for the team,
and although I was just a backup that first year, I did get to get
into a few games here and there
and was nervous at first but eventually got used to it.”
As a junior, the goaltending
job was his and his alone, and
not wanting to dishonor the success that his two brothers had
before him he worked extremely
hard to uphold their accomplishments. As a two-year starter for
Tri Country McLaughlin did his
brothers proud.
“Danny lead us to the Mayflower League Championship
this year and was named the
team’s Unsung Hero,” the Coach
said. “He posted a 3.8 league
goals against average despite only
playing partial games. We usually
took him out when we were up
by the half and his goals against
was .09 per quarter.”
Although his numbers were
low, McLaughlin was a bit
upset at the team’s run through
the tournament this season.
“We still had a decent team that
made it to the tournament, but
the school was moved up to the
larger school tournament and
unfortunately we didn’t do as
well,” McLaughlin said. “We
pretty much went undefeated this
year, but lost in the first round of
the tournament.”
He may not have gone out the
way that he would have liked,
back-boning the Cougars to another State Vocational Championship but he did do his coach
and family proud.
“Dan had the head to play the
position, and although you could
see that he was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, he did
have the natural instinct,” Murphy said. “He improved upon his
speed and quickness, especially at
close range and was not afraid to
get in front of the ball.”
McLaughlin, who also
played hockey and football at
Tri-County, will be attending
UMASS Lowell this fall where
he’ll continue to play hockey and
lacrosse on club teams.

Franklin High’s Star Goaltender
Shea’s Dream Comes True — He’ll Play
Hockey At Norwich
By KEN HAMWEY
Ryan Shea’s dream to play college hockey seemed miles away,
but the former Franklin High
goalie turned freshman at Norwich University will be listed on
the Cadets’ roster when the season
opens in October.
The 6-foot-3 Shea played at
Franklin for three years, but didn’t
get the nod to be the starting
goalie until his senior season. Shea
made the most of his limited opportunity, leading the Panthers to
a 17-3 regular season record and
a 10-0 mark in the Hockomock
League’s Kelly-Rex Division that
gave Franklin the crown.
In tournament action, the
18-year-old net-minder guided
Franklin to a 3-2 overtime victory
against Xaverian in the Super 8
Tournament before bowing out
after a pair of losses to secondseeded Malden Catholic. The
Super 8 appearance was the first
time a Franklin hockey team was
invited to play in what is considered the post-season’s elite playoff.
For one season in goal, the
ride was magical and Shea’s statistics were eye-opening. He had
four shutouts, a goals-against av-
erage of 1.55 and a save percentage of .932.
“I hadn’t decided if I was going
to college or if I was going to play
junior hockey,’’ Shea said. “I had
been accepted to eight colleges, including Stonehill and St. Anselm’s,
but when Norwich inquired about
my future, everything changed. I
was shocked the school was interested. I never expected it, but playing there will be a dream come
true.’’
Norwich, located in Northfield,
Vt., is a traditional hockey power
in Division 3 and there aren’t
enough trophy cases to display the
number of championships the Cadets have amassed, both in ECAC
regular season play and the playoffs. The university has won three
Division 3 crowns since 2000.
Shea’s eventual journey to
Norwich began with a phone call
to Franklin coach Chris Spillane
after the Super 8 Tournament. A
scout called the veteran coach and
was curious about Shea’s plans.
“Coach Spillane gave the
scout my phone number, and I
soon got a call,’’ Shea noted. “I
went for a visit, met head coach
Mike McShane and watched the
team defeat Plymouth State in
Although Ryan Shea wasn’t a
starting goalie for Franklin until
his senior year, he snagged a
scholarship to Norwich University
and a spot on the Cadets’ hockey
team for this fall.
a playoff game. Everyone was
friendly, the setting is beautiful,
and it’s small. I was offered an
academic scholarship, and I’ll
be majoring in political science.
They’ve already guaranteed me a
roster spot, and my first year will
be mostly a developmental season. There’s a junior and sophomore goalie ahead of me.’’
During his frosh season, Shea
will be working mostly with assistant coach Cap Raeder, a former National Hockey League
goaltender.
“Ryan made the most of his
opportunity at Franklin,’’ Spillane
said. “He had to wait for two years
to start, but he put in a lot of time,
worked year-round and paid the
price for the success he had as a
senior. He’s very capable. He plays
the angles well and he’s aggressive
and instinctive.”
Reflecting on his Franklin career, Shea, who was selected as a
Hockomock League first-team
all-star, is quick to point to teammates like defenseman Mason
Saunders and forwards Ryan
Spillane and Alex Campbell for
the Panthers’ success.
“Mason always played solid
defense and he bailed me out

often,’’ Shea emphasized. “Ryan
Spillane was our top scorer and it
was his goal that won the Xaverian game. Alex was a spark on
the second line and he got his
share of assists.”
As for his coach, Shea says
he has great respect for Spillane.
“Coach Spillane helped me so
much,’’ Shea said. “He’s an intense guy who wants the best for
his players. He pushes his players to do their best, and he shows
confidence in them. He’s a man I
respect, and he’s been my favorite
coach over the years.’’
Shea’s style should be a plus
when he faces the cream of Division 3. He’s a butterfly-type goalie
who goes low to cover the bottom
half of the net. He likes to challenge shooters and his ability to
make a quick save without much
time to think about it is an asset.
“Where I have to improve is
becoming quicker on my side-toside movement and controlling
the puck behind the net,’’ said
Shea, who started playing hockey
at age four.
Shea rates Franklin’s overtime
win against Xaverian in the tourney as his top thrill, even ahead of
his selection as a league all-star.
“We wanted to beat Xaverian
because we lose some studentathletes to them,’’ he said. “We respect them but to beat them was a
great achievement, especially since
it was our first Super 8 appearance. I had 34 saves and one of
my best came against Jake Farrell,
who had scored their first goal.’’
Ryan Shea relied on patience
and he calmly waited his turn to
star at Franklin. He may be Norwich’s third goalie on the depth
chart, but he’s got plenty of time
to climb the Cadets’ ladder.

Give “Hope” Some Hope
Poor Hope, she has lost all faith in mankind. Her former owner threw her out of
the house, locked the door and put the
house up for sale! This cat was terrified!
She had always been an indoor cat, and
it was a neighbor who called to inform us
of the situation. Hope is a cat who needs a
lot of reassurance and love. A quiet home
with someone who will give her the time
she needs to once again feel safe and secure
so that she can become a loving, confident
companion.
If you are interested in meeting Hope
or any of our other cats available for adop-
tion please visit our website www.purrfectcatshelter.org for an adoption application or
call the Message Center (508) 533-5855 to
have one sent to you.
All cats and kittens at the Purr-fect Cat
Shelter have been examined by a Veterinarian, spayed or neutered, tested for feline leukemia and FIV, vaccinated, dewormed and
microchipped prior to adoption. The Purrfect Cat Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill, all
volunteer organization providing care and
shelter to homeless cats and kittens with the
ultimate goal of finding permanent, loving
homes for each cat.
