CELEBRATION–continued on page 2 Stroll, the Library’s picnic stories on the Common, the Lighting of the Common every holiday season, and various other events held by church and civic organizations. “Many people call the Town Common the focal point of town, and I agree,” said Arcand. “It’s a welcoming place where people of all ages can

enjoy walking, having picnics, playing games on the grass, and having fun on the two children’s playgrounds. It’s a scenic and serene setting where one can sit on a park bench and enjoy a good book.” The Town Common Trustees look forward to meeting everyone at the upcoming celebration.

Unlicensed Dogs to Result in Citations Contributed to Bellingham Bulletin

Bellingham Town Clerk Ann Odabasian once again reminds dog owners that a $50.00 citation fee was instituted on Aug. 1 for each unlicensed dog; 21 days later, that fee will be increased to $60.00, and 21 days after that, the fee will be increased again, to $100.00. These fees are cumulative and are part of the new State laws Section 137 & 137A of the General Laws, Chapter 140. “We begin licensing dogs when the census is mailed out in mid-February,

and continued through June 30 before any fees were instituted,” Odabashian explained. “Reminders have been printed in the Bulletin and on the town website for months now, as well as on your license from last year. Please come in and license your dog(s) as soon as possible to avoid a citation.” According to Odabashian, problems with dogs should be referred to the Animal Control department at 508-966-5823.

SCHOOLS—continued from previous page post of Curriculum Director. “The Assistant Superintendent’s role is to enhance curriculum, improve instruction throughout the district and create a comprehensive assessment process that focuses on student learning,” Marano said. Forty candidates applied for the position, five were interviewed and Rafferty was hired in June. ENROLLMENT — Marano dispels any notion that Bellingham’s school enrollment is in decline. He said that the 2016-17 school year included 2,171 students in Grades K through 12 and the projected number for the 2017-18 year is 2,200, an increase of 29. “There was a time, starting around 2010, when enrollments were moderately declining,” he noted. “We’re now seeing a slight increase. In August, 2016, our K through 12 enrollment was 2,154 but by June, 2017, the figure was up by 17 to 2,171.” CURRICULUM — Improving the district’s curriculum is a continual process, and Marano emphasizes that reviewing and enhancing curriculum is a very high priority. He offered eighth-grade mathematics as an example. “We offer 12 AP (Advanced Placement) courses at the high school,” Marano said. “Our eighth-graders have the opportunity to take double periods of math. They’ll be in an algebra class and a geometry class the same day. That will prepare them for AP calculus.”

NEW PROGRAMS — Instructional leadership the progress we’ve made and hope the year ahead teams and a Chromebook initiative headline new is safe and academically fulfilling for our students. concepts for the current year. Instructional leadership teams involved the training of four teachers in each of the district’s schools. Their focus, Marano said, was to work with their peers “in establishing cutting-edge instructional practices.” Marano said that cutting-edge practices are a method “to hone and improve teaching and learning.” Openings are available for the Milford/BellingThe Chromebook program involves all seventhham Family & Community Network Playgroup. grade students and sixth-grade math classes.

Summer Reading Program Concludes with Community Science Fair

Bellingham VFW Holds Family Fun Day story & photo by Dave Dunbar, Contributing Writer Once a year, the VFW post in Bellingham hosts a free, all-day, intothe-night cookout for the community, post patrons, and area vets. Close to 170 people attended this year’s Summer Slam Family Day, held on August 19th. Thirty-year Bellingham post member Bob “Stubbie” Bragdon came up with the idea to host the annual party. “The VFW works for the good of the Bellingham community and for the good of veterans,” says Bragdon. Twenty years ago, he thought, “Let’s do a family day to say thanks,” and that is what the post has done.

To read Amy Bartelloni’s coverage of the Community Science Fair, the culmination of the Library’s 2017 summer reading program, and her story on the “Sciencetellers” program that took place on the same evening, as well as reporting on other events that took place after Bulletin deadline, please visit our website, www.BellinghamBulletin.com.

My role was that of a play-maker.” A captain in high school and college, Abernethy was a vocal leader who also led by example. Calling Ranieri “a versatile all-star,” she also credits goalie Amy Carbon. “Amy was a junior on the 2005 team,” Abernethy noted. “She was skilled and vocal and she was our leader on defense.” Abernethy, who also played varsity softball and baseball, credits Wernig for her disciplined coaching style. “I returned and coached for Carrie at the middle school level and also with the jayvees and varsity,” she recalled. “Carrie was a great motivator who stressed a 110 percent work ethic.” A Bellingham native and a good student in high school and college, Abernethy, who’s now 30, majored in criminal justice. For the last six years, she’s been a case worker at the Norfolk County Sheriff ’s office. Abernethy ’s competitive philosophy was to win, to reach her potential and to have fun. “The emphasis, however, was on winning,” she said. “Athletics also enabled me to learn great life lessons. Overcoming adversity was one. I also learned leadership qualities and how to work as a team and set goals.” The 18-0 field hockey season of 2005 was one for the record books at Bellingham High.

Five seniors have graduated from last year’s Bellingham High volleyball team, but coach Steve Mantegani likes what he sees from his returning players and is optimistic that there will be continued improvement in 2017, his second year at the helm. Last year’s team won three matches. Returning outside hitters include Maddie Mantegani and Jenna Venuti, and his middle blocker is Gianna Sannicandro. “We’ll be looking for other returning players, such as Sonny Nelson, Cailey MacGregor, Rose Nelson, Makenzie Boucher, and Julia Milot to step in and get more court time left by our graduated seniors,” Mantegani said. “Maddie is a third-year starter who’s athletic, passes the ball well and plays strong defense,” Captains Big Plus for Field Hockey Team The Bellingham High field hockey team will be said her coach and father. “She’s a smart player at FOR OFFICE USE ONLY relying on three senior captains and a new slogan the net and getting stronger.

We held our first BHS volleyball camp this summer for grades 5-8.” Mantegani noted that BHS will be moving from Division 2 to Division 3 this year, providing the team with a more competitive opportunity for the post-season. “We’ll still compete in the TVL, which remains one of the stronger leagues in the state with returning D-2 state champ Hopkinton and perennial D-2 powerhouse Medfield,” he noted. The Blackhawks, who will open their season Sept. 6 at home against Millis, have three other coaches in the system. Chris Ridolfi will assist Mantegani, the jayvee coach is Whitney McKay and the freshmen coach is Deb Sacco.

SPORTS SPOTLIGHT—cont. from page 23

Three players, whom Elster labels as “team leaders,” are Jason Mardo (junior goalie), Ernesto Ramirez (senior defender), and Ramon Petrov (senior defender/striker). “Jason has passion for soccer,” Elster said. “This year he’s really stepped up as a leader and continues to improve as a goalie and field player. Both Ernesto and Roman add speed and physicality to the team. They’ll battle hard and meet challenges. Both are good leaders.” Elster, whose team opens its season on Sept. 6 at home against Norton, also is bullish on sophomores Dennis Fuentes and Derek Ojukwu. “Dennis has a positive attitude, he’s a strong leader and he’s also got another year of club soccer under his belt,” he noted. “Derek is a natural athlete with lots of speed, which could help our team greatly.”

Successful Season for the Bulldogs

represented us on the all-star team—Sean Williamson, Derek Izzo, Ian McSweeney and Matt Montgomery,” said Dunn. “Our team played with grit and class and competed through any adversity we faced.” Dunn thanked the players whose age prohibits a return next year: Danny Begley (pitcher/outfielder) and Derek Izzo (pitcher/outfielder). “I’m thankful for the opportunity to coach them and I was pleased with the way they played the game,” he noted. “Danny could shut teams down on the mound with a commanding fastball and Derek became one of the most feared, if not the most feared, outfielders in the league, making numerous spectacular catches in center throughout the season.” Dunn said that he and his coaches welcome back those players who are eligible to return next year “so that we can continue to build off what Byrnes we have been ableTeam to accomplish, put together another successful year Realty Groupand make a run at the championship.”

VETS–continued from page 1 “The first thing that went through my mind was to sell the bike,” said Bortone, who has been riding a motorcycle for nearly 30 years. “I could barely walk at that time and depression set in.” He knew he might not ever ride again. Rather than let destiny call the shots, however, Mike Damon and other friends stepped in and convinced Bortone to take part in the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, ND—something Bortone has always wanted to do but hadn’t. “I basically threatened to tie him to his bike,” quipped Damon. “It became basically a ‘F*** MS’ tour for me, to prove that even though something bad happens in your life, you can overcome it. You can’t let it consume you.” (This from a man who has been told by his doctor that he’ll be wheelchair-bound within two to eight years.) Somewhere enroute, the men split up and visited other vets with whom they had served. That decision was life-changing, because on the way back to New England, they decided to continue the visits and, as Damon put it, “make it about the vets now and not about us.” “There’s a ton of assistance out there for vets,” said Damon, “but a lot of them don’t know about it,” so he has launched the website www.VetUnite.org to identify resources available to veterans, both by state boards and by benefits, such as ADA and disability rights, claims, dental and health benefits, housing and home loans, service dogs, small business assistance and much more. They have also set up the Facebook page www.Facebook.com/VetUnite, which Bortone used to post what they were planning to do; requests came rolling in from

Shown (L-R): Jerry Dubois, Mike Damon, Tom Ciario, Rocco Bortone, Linda Trites and Jill Allsop all over the country almost immediately. “Vets can be pretty isolated and keep to themselves, not reaching out even though they need help, but usually, someone close to them—usually another vet—knows about it and lets us know,” explained Post Commander Linda Trites, also referring to their own Post outreach efforts. The two men have planned an 18-day road trip to visit fellow vets, American Legions, VFW Posts, and even a Gold Star mother. (They also welcome any other vets who want to join them.) On August 1, they made their first stop on the 9,000-mile, 25-stop journey at Bellingham’s VFW Post 7272 on South Main Street. The Post had a hot meal and several members and guests waiting to give the men a sendoff with their

best wishes, including 91-year-old Tom Ciarlo, father of Bellingham resident Lynn Scornavacca. “I served in the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery rather than overseas, but I’m an honorary member of the AMVETS and American Legion,” Ciarlo explained. “I think it’s great, what they’re doing.” Post Senior Vice Commander Jerry Dubois, who had notified the Bulletin of the men’s arrival, explained, “Most older veterans are familiar with organizations like the American Legion and the VFW, but a lot of the younger ones don’t understand everything that the paternal and fraternal organizations do, so it’s great that these guys are spreading the word.” Bortone planned to post live updates during the trip at www.Facebook.com/TaskForceVetVisits. For more information on veterans resources, visit www.VetUnite. org or www.Facebook.com/VetUnite. To read/view a brief interview that CBS affiliate KXNews of North Dakota conducted with Bortone on his 2016 trip to Sturgis, visit http://www.myndnow.com/news/dickinson-news/massachusetts-man-diagnosed-with-msattending-sturgis-motorcycle-rally-for-the-first-time. There were other benefits besides just being able to cross the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally off his bucket list. Bortone reflected, “After meeting dozens of veterans, supporters and Gold Star families, this journey has reenforced my belief that regardless of age, era, color and religion we are one family. We may not know each other but we will always be there for each other. No veteran should ever feel alone.”

EDWARDS—continued on page 29 letes was no different from facing runners in the U.S. “There’s no difference,” she said. “You don’t think about who you’re competing against. It doesn’t matter.” What does matter is Edwards’ competitive desire to learn, prepare and excel. Peter Lacasse, her coach at Bellingham High, detected early on that Edwards was a special competitor. “Sarah’s competitive nature is in her blood,” he said. “She’s got a high compete level. It’s a quality that can be coached but it can’t be taught. It’s her soul. As a freshman in high school, she didn’t have any experience running, but she rose to the top at Division and State meets. Her compete level is what defines her.” Lacasse noted that Edwards’ learning curve is very good. “She finished 10th at the NCAA Championships in the steeplechase,” he recalled; “but she learned from that experience and wasn’t going to be denied in Sacramento or Peru. The experience and training she’s received are tools for her tool box. She can use them when needed.”
