First Franklin Cultural Festival to Take Place July 29-August 2 Free Event Celebrates Visual, Performing and Culinary Arts

By J.D.O’Gara The Franklin Cultural Festival, the first official town

wide celebration of the arts in Franklin, will take place from July 29 through August 2, 2015.

Shown here are members of the Franklin Cultural District Committee and others working to make the first Franklin Cultural Festival one to remember. The Franklin Cultural Festival will take place from July 29-August 2.

The celebration will take place in various locations in downtown Franklin including the Town Common, the Public Library, the Horace Mann Middle School, THE BLACK BOX, the Historical Museum, in locations along Main, Daniel McCahill and Oak Streets and other locations within the Franklin Cultural District.

It’s not a new idea, bringing together all kinds of performing artists and fine artists together in a weeklong celebration of the arts, says Alan Mercer, member of the Franklin Cultural District Committee. Many cities and towns have done something similar, but now that the Franklin Cultural District Initiative has come along, says Mercer, the time has come for Franklin to hold its own such celebration.

Kennedy Student will compete at U.S. Kids Golf Tournament

By Anne Parker You’re never too young for greatness. This is true in the case of Franklin’s Thomas Constantine. The first grader from Kennedy Elementary School is a small but mighty golfer. He has shown a great ability to play golf since he was 3 years old.

Last month, at age 6, he won the New England division championship of the U.S. Kids Golf Tournament in Gardener. He beat out the competition in the 6 and under age bracket. This qualifies him to compete at the international level in July. At the end of this month, he will take his game to North Carolina to the international championships of the U.S. Kids Golf Tour. There he will play against hundreds of other kids from around the world.

Hosted at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina, the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship is the largest and most prestigious event Organ ic Beer & Win e

“Originally, this idea came from our Creative Director, Nick Paone,” says Alan Mercer, referring to his affiliation with the Franklin School for the Performing Arts and Franklin Performing Arts Center. Where the Franklin Cultural Festival was a town wide initiative, however the Franklin Cultural District group was deemed the more fitting sponsor for the project, however. Mercer is organizing the event with other members of the Franklin Cultural District Committee, who include Pandora Carlucci, of Franklin Public Schools, Roberta Trahan, a Franklin Downtown Partnership board member, Sue Sheridan, from the Franklin Art Association, and Jim Schultz, another FDP board member.

“When you receive a designation as a cultural district, one of the things they look for is an organization in the town that can manage programming and manage those organizations that put on the programming, write a budget and fundraise to that budget,” says Mercer. “What

we thought as a committee is, rather than tell the state we could do it, let’s prove it to them and just do it.

“We reached out to organizations that we knew and once again, this is a celebration of not only performing arts but it’s fine arts, culinary arts, there’ll be activities at the library and at the museum, and so we reached out to those organizations and told them what we were trying to do.

They filled out applications and told us what they’d like to do, and we scheduled them.”

“We were thrilled by the quality and quantity of the programs that came in,” says Mercer, who says so many groups came forward that he doesn’t want to highlight any one particular group over another. “I think there’s some 27 different organizations and artists that we’ll celebrate those four days.”

Artwork by local artists, he says, will also be on display at various nonprofit and retail locations in town. There will also be the first Taste of Franklin, offered by Franklin restaurants.

Although the Franklin Cultural Festival still needs more sponsors and individual donors,

it did hold a fundraising event back in May at THE BLACK BOX, although Mercer would like to further spread the word.

“We’re actively seeking sponsors of any amount,” says Mercer. If you’re looking to support this celebration of the arts in Franklin, you can be a Festival Sponsor for a donation of $1,000 or more, and Event Sponsor for $500 or more, or a Friend and Benefactor for $100 or more. Donors get listed on the event website and on all printed material, including the schedule of events.

The event has a website at http://www.franklinsculturalfestival.org/. There, arts lovers can get the schedule of events and more information. Facebook users will also find the Franklin Cultural Festival’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/FranklinCulturalFestival.

Thomas turned 7 since his win in the New England division. He will play in the age 7 and under bracket. He’s feeling a little nervous, he said, but he is ready. In his competition last month, he played 9 holes and finished with a score of 38, with par being 36.

That win earned him the invitation to play in Pinehurst. There is one other golfer from the New England region who will also attend, said George Pimental, Thomas’s coach and instructor from Olde Scotland Links in Bridgewater.

Thomas first became interested in golf at a young age. “We bought him plastic golf clubs when he was 3. He would just hit the ball around,” explains his father Rob Constantine. Rob said they watched “The Short Game,” a television documentary which chronicles a group of kids that went to Pinehurst for the 2012 championship. “Thomas started watching it. It became his goal to get to that,” he said. “He’ll sit and watch golf and learn instead of a cartoon. He’d rather watch the golf channel or MLB channel.”

Then Thomas’s grandfather started sharing his love for the

Constantine, who goes to the Kennedy School in Franklin, has great hand-eye coordination, but he also enjoys the companionship of his grandfather and golf enthusiast Ed Thomas.

sport with him. “A big driving force is my father in law. He’s retired and a golf addict,” smiled Rob. “So he found his little partner. Thomas is extremely coachable and has great hand eye coordination. It translated very well into golf and baseball.”

Thomas enjoys baseball, soccer and basketball. He’ll play any sport, but golf is his favorite. Not only is his grandfather his golf partner, but now he is Thomas’s caddy.

Thomas really started getting noticed at Olde Scotland Links where he plays with his grandfather, Ed Thomas from Uxbridge.

The two would play together at the driving range and on the course. “I take him on a golf course and people would stop and say they can’t believe it, I’m very proud,” reports Ed. “A coach from the course actually saw Thomas on the range hitting when he was 3,” he explained.

“He basically said to me I’ve been a coach here for 35 years and he’s got some extraordinary talent.”

A few years ago Thomas’s grandfather met George Pimental, the instructor at Olde Scotland Links, who also coaches at Bridgewater-Raynham high school. At the time, Thomas was 3.

July 1, 2015 “I thought that’s kind of young. But I did it anyway, and that’s how he got started,” said Pimental. Since then he’s become his coach.

“Everyone who sees him hit a golf ball is so impressed. He’s very competitive. He’s also a nice young man,” Pimental said. He also does junior clinics for older players. He told his grandfather bring him to play with the 9-11 year olds. The junior clinics eventually led him to the USA clinics. “His scores are very impressive,” added Pimental.

“He’s one of the top golfers for his age group. He’s phenomenal for the place he’s at right now.”

The 7-year-old Thomas old really loves the game. He practices 3-4 times a week, he said. He is also a member at Maplegate Country Club in Franklin. He felt great when he won the New England tournament. His favorite part of golf is driving. He just loves the feeling of hitting the ball far. He said he has hit as far as 178 yards.

The most important thing about golf is having fun, says the young man who hopes to be a pro golfer some day. When asked whether golf takes skill or luck, he replied “Skill.” He will carry that skill with him as he moves onto the next level this month.

Franklin TV Addresses Drug Use “It Takes a Village” Host Anne Bergen Hosts Panel Discussion

By J.D. O’Gara On the heels of recent losses in Franklin to the opiate epidemic throughout the state and country, the town of Franklin needs to begin a discussion. Anne Bergen, host of Franklin.TV (Franklin’s Community Access station) show “It Takes a Village,” held a panel discussion to address the issues of heroin and other addictions on Wednesday, June 3. Bergen welcomed Police Chief Stephen Semerjian, Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski, Representative Jeffrey Roy, and Franklin Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting to the discussion on drugs. The episode, entitled “The Challenges of Resilience,” will continue to air this month and will be available at franklin.tv.

One point on which all panelists agreed -- opiates are an increasing problem, and Franklin is not immune to its effects.

However, Franklin’s struggles are what are being seen in many

cities and towns.

“There is somewhat of an uptick in the use of prescription medications and opiates,” said Chief Semerjian, who says he agrees with D.A. Morrissey’s encouragement of a dialogue within the community. The problem is driven by supply and demand, he said, and he encouraged residents to use prescription medication disposal units at the police station.

Bergen asked the question of how do parents of adults with addiction get their children help when they are afraid their child will be arrested? Chief Semerjian responded that his officers “will always try to seek assistance” for those who are addicted and will work with a family to get some assistance for the individual, who does have to be willing to get help.

Rep. Roy added that the state has specialty courts for those with drug problems.

“If somebody gets in legal trouble, and it’s a drug offense,

“It Takes a Village” on Franklin TV recently tackled the topic of drugs in our community with a panel discussion with community leaders.

Sitting, from left, Town Administrator Jeff Nutting, Police Chief Stephen Semerjian, Show Host Anne Bergen, Rep. Jeffrey Roy and Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski.

as long as they’re committed” to getting help, says Roy, they can work with the system and not go to jail. Roy talked about how the local availability of anti-narcotic, Narcan, is saving lives in the event of overdoses, how the legislature is aiming to increase the number of beds available for treatment, and he highlighted a new Commu-

nity Coalition, supported by the D.A.’s office, that will be forming in Franklin.

Nutting added that the Franklin Town Council expressed overwhelming support for such a Community Coalition. He added that, regardless of the substance, “Addiction is addiction.”

agrees and says that at the school level, they are not yet seeing heroin, but more alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs when there are problems. Post high school populations seem to be using heroin more than high school students.

“Our approach has been to focus on prevention, teaching children how to be resilient,” she says, noting that the focus is on the whole child development and keeping the child engaged in the community. The role of the school counselor, she says, has expanded, and thanks to an IDEA grant, some positions that have been funded have “had a profound impact,” she says.

“When you look at why students seek substance, it’s really to feel better,” she says.

Roy Announces Franklin Community Coalition to Combat Drug Abuse First Meeting June 30 at Franklin High School

By J.D. O’Gara It’s an epidemic that has been plaguing Massachusetts, and after being approached by a young constituent in October of 2014, Representative Jeffrey Roy wanted Franklin to address the issue of drug use in town head on.

The first meeting of a new Community Coalition was to take place on June 30, at Franklin High School, at 7 p.m., open to anyone from the town interested in helping establish a direction for the coalition to take, to hear from experts, and to hear from coalition members in other towns on their progress.

Representative Roy has been working with a group since February to develop a Community Coalition to combat this epidemic. “While I was pleased to be a part of the discussion, it was unsettling to see the damage that

I N FANT

■

is wreaking havoc on people and their families,” said Representative Jeffrey Roy (D-Franklin) “We need to do more to help those who struggle daily with the disease of addiction and I think a coalition is the first step.”

“The response (to a Community Coalition in Franklin) has been incredible,” said Rep. Roy, in a telephone interview. The email list alone had 120 subscribers as of early June, he said, with another 130 indicating their interest through a Facebook invitation.

“Originally, I was going to have this at the Town Hall,” says Roy, who thought he’d draw 30-40 people, “but now it looks like we’re over 200. Certainly that’s an indication that there is recognition that this is an issue we need to do something about.”

“Franklin is doing the right things in dealing with the effects

of drugs in our region, and particularly the Commonwealth’s deadly opiate epidemic,” Norfolk County District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey said, “We see prevention coalitions successfully changing attitudes about substance use in other towns. Enforcement and supply interdiction remain important.

But groups like this one are key to addressing the demand for drugs in our communities. I applaud the elected officials, police, educators and other community members who are making this happen. I’m glad to support it and offer the help and assistance of my office.”

Franklin will be the 19th such community coalition in Norfolk County, with a member of the Walpole coalition assigned to guide Franklin through the process. Close by, the towns of Foxboro, Medfield, Westwood, Needham and Sharon are among those coalitions, which D.A. Morrissey’s office has been

■

active in helping to spearhead and of which the Massachusetts Legislature has been supportive.

Some community coalitions, like Oasis (Organizing Against Substance in Stoughton) in Stoughton—already existed, says David Traub, spokesperson for D.A. Morrissey’s office, as did ACES in Avon (Avon Coalition for Every Student). Overall, two had been operating independently, and five had been funded

by Drug Free Communities, he says. These were good models for 11 others that the D.A.’s office has helped support.

“It’s different for every town,” says Traub. “It’s not a top-down structure. These are very local.

One community may be dealing with binge drinking. Another may be dealing with the opiate crisis, and they’re maybe dealing with early onset use in another community. Part of the idea of having these organizations in each town is each town can look at their own needs and see

what are other towns doing, talk about best practices.” The coalition leaders meet at the D.A.’s office once a month, except for July and August, not only to try to address their particular issues, he says, but also to listen to scheduled speakers impart information on resources.

Franklin Town Councilor Robert Dellorco added his vote of confidence to the coalition by saying, “When I found out about the overwhelming response to the coalition meeting, it reinforced the pride that I have in the Franklin community, and the confidence that together we can make a difference.”

Roy said he expected to have, in addition to the Walpole coalition member, the Franklin Police Chief, Milford Drug Counselor Amy Leone, Ryan Walker, from the D.A.’s office, and possibly D.A.

Franklin Showcase Pro Wrestling Match Supports Elks’ Vets for Oil July 24th Event Features Six Bouts, Fun Night for a Cause

By J.D. O’Gara The Franklin Elks Lodge BPOE 2136 and Veterans for Oil, will host a Showcase Pro Wrestling fundraiser on Friday night July 24th at the Elks Hall, 1077 Pond Street, Franklin. Two former Milford natives will be on the outstanding six-bout card, the first match begins at 7:47 pm.

The event will raise funds for the Veterans for Oil program, a

program begun by Peter Gaw, of the Franklin Elks, formerly of North Attleboro Elks.

In North Attleboro, says Gaw, the Elks would fundraise to help families at Christmastime, he says. When he came to Franklin, someone suggested that what homeless people and

military people could use is common items.

“I asked about electric bills and oil bills, and if we can help some of the guys over there and their families,” he says. That’s how it began.” Gaw spoke to the owners of Julian’s Oil, and they agreed to deliver oil in 100-gallon increments at cost for the effort. (Now that company has sold to Devaney Oil, says Gaw, which is still helping out the cause.) Gaw, whose son has been wrestling in independent circuits in the last six or seven years, decided to fundraise with a wrestling match. Others, like the late Vinny DeBaggis, he says, joined in to help with the effort, with another member saying she wanted to run a raffle for the cause, “and it took off,” he says.

Gaw explains that the Elks have held a couple of motorcycle runs for the cause, most recently on May 30, which bought in $1,800.

Money also comes in from the raffle, and from dribs and drabs from members, he says.

The Elks, however, do not have contact with the people they help in the Oil for Veterans program.

“It’s all confidential,” says Gaw, “It’s strictly between the veterans’ agent and Devaney Oil. Bob Fahey just retired as the Veteran’s

Agent, but there will be a new contact person. The only thing we know is what the balance of the account is.”

Gaw explains that from 20142015, the Franklin Elks Oil for Vets program delivered 700 gallons of oil, for a total of 3,900 for the last five years at a value of $12,260.

“People run into hard times, as we all know. This winter was incredibly bad. We were able to provide some relief for quite a

few folks,” says Gaw. This upcoming fundraiser is a fun way to help, and it features Superstar Shawn Candido defending his Showcase Pro Wrestling title against former Champion Cargill Vinton. A special challenge match has been added to the card. Former WWF superstar, three-time New England Heavyweight Champion, member of the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, originally from Milford now making his home in Franklin, Sgt. Muldoon returns to the ring. Another Milford native, also a former WWF star, Richie Rich will be in action against the biggest man in wrestling today Robbie “the Giant” Arujo. Also appearing will be “Simply God’s Best” G. A. West, Buck Nasty, The Refflers, The Middlesex Express, and many more.

Tickets $12 for this wrestling event are on sale at the Elks Hall.

No Surgery for This New England Fat Loss Client Through many appointments, 53 year-old Tracey Romanelli received advice from her doctor to lose weight. When he suggested gastric bypass, it took her a year to even consider the option. Relenting, she attending a seminar to learn more about the process.

“It really turned me off,” Romanelli said. “It’s not a cure all. I heard from friends that there are complications, and they eventually gained the weight back and then some.”

The Bellingham resident remembered she had clipped some New England Fat Loss (NEFL) ads and testimonials. She contacted NEFL and scheduled a complimentary consultation.

The program required a lifestyle change in her eating habits, which Romanelli admitted was difficult at first. However, she soon reaped the rewards with significant weight loss.

“I finally came to the point that I was ready to do something,” Romanelli said. “It was very hard at

first, as I got used to it. However, the weight and the inches came off. I am so glad I did it.”

In less than two months, Romanelli dropped 35 pounds and is now in Phase Two of the New England Fat Loss program. During this stage, her menu choices have expanded, but she continues to adhere to healthier eating habits.

“I’ve been trying to lose weight since I had my daughter 18 years ago, so this is a whole new different lifestyle,” Romanelli said.

“I’m ok with that, however, because I feel so good.”

In addition to following the NEFL food guidelines, Romanelli also credits her success to the exceptional encouragement of the program’s staff.

“I texted Dr. John every day, and if I was on a plateau, he would give me advice and the next day I would lose a pound,” Romanelli said. “In fact, everyone I have met has been incredibly supportive. It is a big plus

having a support system.”

Romanelli has personally committed to a year with the NEFL program and looks forward to shedding even more pounds.

Each day she is one step closer to her personal goal, but bigger changes are in store for her future.

“The rest of my life is going to be like this,” Romanelli proudly stated. “I’m not going back to the way I was and the way I ate. Now I eat healthy and I feel so much better.”

Thanks to more of a head start on the second fundraiser, the next year the event drew about 200 people and 100 auction items, making $37,000, and last year, the event grew to 137 auction items and 220 people. It made $43,000 for the organization.

Hall, 703 Washington Street, Holliston. Tickets are $35 ahead of time and $40 at the door.

Two large raffles, with great odds, will also be drawn at the event.

“A friend has given us a week at their beautiful home in St. John, a house valued at $3,700 a week, and we have a Boston Sports Raffle, in which one winner will have two premium game tickets for each of the four Boston sports teams. The Bruins seats are Patrice Bergeron’s family seats, and the Celtics ones are four rows behind the Celtics’ bench,” says Regan. For each of those raffles, only 250 tickets will be sold for $50 each.

Electric Youth to Perform Free Summer Concerts FRANKLIN, MA – Following a two-and-a-half week summer concert tour of England and France, Electric Youth (EY) will perform two free outdoor concerts on Thursday, July 23, from 6:30-8 p.m. at Norfolk Town Hill and on Wednesday, July 29, from 6-8 p.m. on Franklin Town Common. The Franklin concert will be presented as part of the first annual Franklin Cultural Festival, hosted by the Franklin Cultural District Committee. The culinary, fine and performing arts celebration will take place at various downtown Franklin locations from July 29 to August 2.

Electric Youth’s 12th European tour features three shows at Disneyland Paris and several concerts along the coast of Normandy. Performances in England include a July 4th show for U.S. troops stationed at Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Feltwell Air Force Bases and concerts at Wimborne’s Tivoli Theatre and in Arundel and Hastings. Electric Youth first debuted in England and France in 2013 and this season’s itinerary marks a return to those countries after last summer’s tour of Austria and Italy.

Backed by the eight-piece band of world-class musicians, Electric Youth delivers a fun, high-energy evening of family entertainment with an extensive range of

contemporary pop, classic rock, Broadway and country hits for audiences all ages. This season’s repertoire features fully choreographed performances of the best of Adele, Aretha Franklin, Imagine Dragons, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Frank Sinatra, Styx and more.

Selected annually by audition, the group is chosen for superior musicianship, stage presence, and triple threat accomplishments in voice, dance, and acting. This season’s ensemble of performers, ages 15-17, studies multiple dance disciplines, voice, and acting at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA). Electric Youth 2015 includes Adriane D’Amato of Foxboro; Madison Asgeirsson, Kendra Dombroski, Jocelyn Jones, Shaina McGillis, Lauren Szczepanowski and Melissa Wyner of Franklin; Michael Fajardo of Hopkinton; Sam Evans of Medfield; Maddy Williams of Medway; Katie Gray of Milford; Kylee Rollins of North Attleboro; and Jenna McDermott, of Wrentham.

The EY singer-dancers are backed by Boston musicians who’ve performed, recorded and toured with such music legends as Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, B.B. King, Diana Ross, The Temptations and Van Morrison. EY’s show

band features Kenny Hadley on drums, Bill Miele on bass, Artie Montanaro on trombone, Walter Platt on trumpet, Ken Reid on tenor saxophone, Ben Whiting on baritone saxophone, John Wilkins on guitar, and Raye Lynn Mercer on piano. Under the direction of Mark Poniatowski, musical arrangers for Electric Youth are Rick Hammett, Jeff Perry, Walter Platt, Poniatowski, Mark White

Life

and Ben Whiting. Hallie Wetzell is Electric Youth’s Vocal Director.

Choreographers include Mercer, Casey Andrade, Cheryl Madeux, Nick Paone and Kellie Stamp.

Electric Youth has released six professional CDs and toured Europe 11 times, with performances at England’s Arundel Festival, Disneyland Paris, professional theaters in Bristol, London and Windsor, and such renowned venues as Sanremo’s Ariston Theatre and Vienna’s Konzerthaus, Musikverein and Schonbrunn Palace. EY has also headlined Fourth of July shows for U.S. troops and their

families stationed in Italy at Camp Ederle, Camp Darby, and Aviano Air Force Base. The ensemble has performed on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, on Fox-TV and WBZ Radio, and at Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, Mechanics Hall, the Smithsonian Museum Theater and the United Nations. EY’s music, including the 2014 album, Power Chord, is available at amazon.com and iTunes.

Munchkin Auditions for The Wiz This summer, the Star Players of Massachusetts and Dean College are teaming up to present smash Broadway hit The Wiz. Performances will be presented in August at venues in Taunton and Franklin, Massachusetts.

The Wiz,, with music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls and book by William F. Brown, premiered in 1974 at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore. It is a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a film adaptation was released in 1978.

The Wiz marks the 29th summer musical for the Star Players, and the second season that the company has collaborated with Dean College. Shows are August 6-9 at the Gerald A. Croteau Theater in Taunton, and August 20-23 at the Dean College Main Stage in Franklin.

If cast, children will be required to attend two Saturday morning rehearsals followed by evening rehearsals in the weeks prior to the show. Children may perform in one or both locations (Taunton and/or Franklin). There are no production fees required to participate.

Each youth auditioner is asked to bring one photo (that the producers may keep) and come prepared to move in comfortable clothes. Chil-

Benefits of Social Activities As human beings most of us are inherently social, we gravitate to one another for comfort, companionship, laughter, security and love. So why is it as people age they become more reclusive? Why do so many elderly people stay in their apartments, shades down, blinds drawn and only go out to get the necessities, if they go out at all?

That is a question that has many possible answers. Sometimes the bad weather or cold keep elders in. Another possibility is simple finances, they are on limited incomes and don’t have money for ‘extras’ even gas to go visit friends. Another theory is that that as they age, the losses they experience make some people uncomfortable going out, they feel less sure of their ability to judge distance due to vision changes. Often as we age some people loose depth perception or peripheral vision making it harder to navigate new spaces.

As we get older our tissue loosens up, we slow down, maybe become a little more forgetful.

If there is some forgetfulness or beginning stages of dementia the easiest way to mask that or prevent embarrassing oneself is to stick to what is well known, familiar or routine.

But is staying shut in the

house all day, all night, day in and day out really a good way to live? Is it really helping? For most, the simple answer is no.

The days blend together, lacking definition which often leads to more forgetfulness. If you have taken a vacation where, after a few days, you have to stop and think about what day it is now imagine magnifying that by literally years sometimes as many as 15 or 20 years of retirement where one day is not too different from the last.

Granted a new retiree often has many different activities happening, volunteering, going to a senior center etc. but as time goes on these activities typically diminish leading to days that are hard to tell one from another. So what do you do?

Does an elder who is staying home more and more need to “be placed” or moved to an assisted living? Absolutely not. Most towns have wonderful resources in their towns at the local senior center. These often provide a mid day meal for just a few dollars, they provide stimulating activities and exercise classes and often provide scheduled transportation to area destinations like shopping, museums and sometimes appointments. This can be a

ADULT & GERIATRIC DAY CARE

vital difference for an isolated elder or any adult who, for various reasons may be unable to get out on his or her own. For the individuals who may not be as independent, there are day centers or adult day care centers, often covered by insurance, that provide transportation, hot, nutritious meals and often have a nurse on site for care or well being oversight even medication management.

These centers are committed to providing important socialization, stimulating activities and even exercise classes. Study after study has proven the positive effects of feeling good, staying active and regular exercise which can also decrease depression, slow down the progression of dementia symptoms and many other health issues.

Your local adult day care center is Hopkinton Health Center located at 25 South St. F, Hopkinton and open Monday-Friday; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and may be covered by some insurance benefits for more information please call (508) 497-2300 or visit www.hopkintonhealthcenter.com.

Franklin Community Leaders Recognized at Hockomock YMCA

Swim Programs Offer a Mix of Fun, Physical Activity and Safety

The annual meeting of the Hockomock Area YMCA was held on May 13, 2015. The organization gave special recognition to several members of the Franklin community, including teen leader Tara Lambert and the Franklin Food Pantry.

Tara Lambert, a Franklin resident, was honored as the Bernon Family Branch Youth of the Year at the Hockomock Area YMCA. A near constant presence in the life of the Bernon Family Branch, Tara has served as a member of the Leaders Club, a Member Services volunteer, a swimming instructor, a lifeguard, and camp counselor.

In addition to Tara’s Youth of the Year Award, the Franklin Food Pantry was honored with the Bernon Family Branch’s Red Triangle Award. The Franklin Food Pantry is committed to providing immediate hunger relief and healthy sustainable solutions.

It does so by empowering the community through resources, education, and collaboration, efforts that go far beyond bringing food to people. Upon presenting the Food Pantry with the award, Bill Chouinard, the Chairman of the Bernon Family Branch’s Board of Managers and himself a Franklin resident, remarked how the people at the pantry

As swim season approaches, the YMCAs across Massachusetts encourage children and parents to explore the many benefits of swimming, while also keeping safety top of mind. In the Y’s swim programs, participants can enjoy water sports, enhance or learn new techniques, meet new friends and develop confidence, while also learning safety skills that can save lives.

Massachusetts YMCAs encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s safety.

The following are safety tips to practice when in and around the water: • Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone.

• Adults should constantly and actively watch their children.

• Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

Serving 600 families through traditional food pantry operations, the Franklin Food Pantry also partners with the Hockomock YMCA and Stop & Shop to create the Healthy Futures Shelf. This service provides the Pantry’s clients access to nutritious choices, and helps to prevent chronic health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

• Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach.

• Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities.

In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation, and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with winning and losing.

Milford Regional Health Care Foundation Announces New Community Fundraising Initiative The Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation is proud to announce its newest volunteer engagement initiative, the Community Fundraising Program for Milford Regional.

The Community Fundraising Program encourages local residents to organize fundraisers to benefit Milford Regional Medical Center. Examples of fundraising ideas range from car washes and garage sales to an online fundraising page to celebrate a special occasion by collecting donations in lieu of gifts.

“For me, I knew I could not afford a lot to donate personally and thought what a great idea to have fun and raise money for a great cause,” said Rachel Tebeau, Zumba Party event coordinator.

Event coordinators receive support, guidance, and tools from the Foundation office to help reach their goals. The Community Fundraising Program is open to all ages and residents of all local towns. In addition, students who participate may be eligible for community service hours.

Milford Regional Recognized for Excellence in Lactation Care Milford Regional Medical Center has received international recognition for its lactation program and the highly-trained team of maternity nurses that help protect, promote and support breastfeeding.

Milford Regional received the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® Care Award from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners ®(IBLCE®) and the International Lactation Consultant Association® (ICLA®).

The award recognizes Milford Regional for its seven maternity nurses who hold the International Board Certified Lactation Consultants® certification (IBCLC®), as well as the lactation program offered on a nearly daily basis for breast-feeding families.

There are currently 27,450 IBCLC professionals in 101 countries.

“This award speaks volumes about our team of lactation consultants who are dedicated to the patients who choose to breastfeed. These nurses also educate and support those patients - both on an inpatient and outpatient basis - to help them achieve that goal,” said Rose Galimi-Hayes, director of maternity and pediatrics at Milford Regional.

With breastfeeding rates on the rise, there is also a need for trained lactation professionals.

“Breastfeeding is natural and often works quite well without intervention, but there can be complications or risk factors and mothers may need extra support,” said Decalie Brown, president of ICLA. “This recognition highlights the efforts being made by maternity facilities all across the world to help mothers get off to a good start with breastfeeding and to support them in reaching their goals.”

There are a lot of “urban myths” out there about acne and you’ve probably heard many of them. Here are the top five acne myths and the real truth behind those fallacies.

Myth: Washing your face multiple times a day prevents break outs.

Fact: Washing your face sev-

eral times a day will not prevent break outs, and it may even irritate and dry out your skin. Acne lesions start deep inside the pores, and you need products that penetrate inside the pores to prevent acne from forming.

Myth: Acne is caused by candy and french-fries.

Fact: A diet high in iodides (the salt on the French fries)

can make acne worse, but neither candy nor fried foods cause acne. Acne is an inherited disorder – you are either acne prone or you’re not.

Myth: Toothpaste can cure acne.

Fact: This is truly one of the most bizarre urban myths.

While toothpaste may dry out existing acne lesions it does nothing to prevent acne from forming. If you want a spot treatment, there are better alternatives. Toothpaste can burn your skin, and many types of toothpaste contain pore clogging ingredients.

Myth: Moisturizer will make you break out.

Fact: Products that are strong

enough to control acne are often drying, so it’s important that you hydrate your skin.

Many moisturizers do contain pore clogging ingredients, so you have to be careful that you use one that is acne safe.

Myth: Accutane will cure your acne, and you will never break out again.

Fact: I have many clients come to me who have taken Accutane and whose acne has come back. Accutane can work well for some people, but it’s not the magic treatment people think it is, and it comes with a lot of potential side effects.

Snack Foods that Promote Better Sleep According to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age.

Steps to improve their sleeping patterns can be taken. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the AARP notes that the following are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep.

• Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make falling and staying asleep easier.

• Bananas: Much like almonds,

bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey.

While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.

• Cheese and crackers: One more traditional snack may just help you get a better night’s sleep.

Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night’s sleep and help you fall asleep sooner.

• Cherries: Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not.

• Hummus: The primary ingredient in hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock.

• Peanut butter: Peanut butter is another snacking item loaded with tryptophan. Spread some peanut butter on a carbohydrate, whether it’s a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer sleep.

• Walnuts: Like cherries, walnuts contain melatonin, which can contribute to a longer, more restful night’s sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping difficulty.

Many men and women experience difficulty sleeping as they age.

But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night’s sleep.

LIVING HEALTHY Milford Regional Medical Center Receives Award for Care and Treatment of Stroke Patients Milford Regional Medical Center has been recognized by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for its commitment and success in treating stroke patients, as well as meeting specific guidelines as a Primary Stroke Center.

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With the Guidelines®- Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award has been given to Milford Regional in recognition of the hospital’s adherence to all Get With the Guidelines-Stroke achievement indicators and quality measures.

As a Primary Stroke Center, the hospital has a comprehensive system for rapidly diagnosing and treating stroke patients.

“With a stroke, time lost is brain lost, and this award demonstrates our commitment to ensuring patients receive care based on nationally-respected clinical guidelines,” said Dr. Jeffrey Hopkins, chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Milford Regional. “Milford Regional is dedicated to improving the quality of stroke care and the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Get With the Guidelines - Stroke helps us achieve that goal.”

Get With the Guidelines is the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s hospital-based quality improvement program that provides hospitals with the latest researchbased guidelines.

In order to achieve the award, Milford Regional had to achieve 85% or higher adherence to all Get With the Guidelines – Stroke achievement indicators for two or more 12-month periods, and had to achieve 75% or higher compliance with five of the eight Get With the Guidelines – Stroke quality measures.

The quality measures are designed to help hospital teams provide the most up-to-date,

evidence-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recover and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. The quality measures focus on appropriate use of guideline-based care for stroke patients, including aggressive use of medications such as clot-busting and anti-clotting drugs, blood thinners and cholesterol reducing drugs, preventative action for deep vein thrombosis and smoke cessation counseling.

Stroke is the number five cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association.

On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

LIVING HEALTHY The Sun, UV Radiation and Your Eyes

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center

protection we could be adding damage that adds to our risks for these serious disorders. Babies and kids need to wear hats and sunglasses for this very reason. People of all ages should take precautions whenever they are outdoors. Use only glasses that block both UV-A and UV-B rays and that are labeled either UV400 or 100% UV protection. Choose wraparound styles, so that the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. If you wear UV-blocking contact lenses, you’ll still need sunglasses. Don’t be fooled by clouds: the sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Never look directly at the sun. Don’t forget the kids and older family members: everyone is at risk.

Here are some interesting facts about Ultraviolet (UV) light and our eyes:

Exposure to UV light raises the risks of eye diseases.

When we’re out in the sun without protection, we increase our risks for cataracts, growths on the eye, and cancer. Growths on the eye, such as pterygium, can show up in our teens or twenties, especially in surfers, skiers, fishermen, farmers, or anyone who spends long hours under the midday sun or in the UV-intense conditions found near rivers, oceans, and mountains. Diseases like cataract and eye cancers can take many years to develop, but each time we’re out in the sun without

light-sensitive cells in the eye are important to our ability to regulate wake-sleep cycles. This may be more critical as we age, when more people have problems with insomnia. While it’s important that we protect our eyes from overexposure to UV light, our eyes also need minimal exposure to natural light every day to help maintain normal sleep-wake cycles.

Time outdoors may prevent nearsightedness in kids Research shows that children who spend more time outside exposed to daylight may reduce their risk of developing nearsightedness. So not only is exercise great for eye health, but now it seem that getting that exercise while outside may be additionally beneficial.

Indoor tanning can damage your eyes just like the sun Eleven different U.S. medical organizations have joined together to raise awareness of the dangers of indoor tanning, citing rising skin cancer rates, particularly among young women who are more likely to use indoor tanning beds. In addition to causing skin cancer, tanning beds — like prolonged sun exposure — can lead to serious eye damage.

Looking at a solar eclipse is a threat to your eyes.

Looking directly at a solar eclipse is as dangerous as staring at the unblocked sun and can cause damage to the retina, the lightsensitive nerve layer at the back of the eye. Everyone of any age and any degree of skin pigmentation is susceptible to UV damage. Chil-

dren are particularly susceptible to UV damage.

People with light colored eyes may have an increased risk of certain eye diseases.

Skin cancer, rare eye cancers, such as melanoma of the iris and macular degeneration are more prevalent if you have light colored eyes. UV protection becomes even more important.

People who take photosensitizing drugs can make your eyes more sensitive to light.

You should discuss precautions with your ophthalmologist if you are taking photosensitizing drugs.

Wear UV-absorbent sunglasses and a hat whenever you go outside for as long as you take them. Some of those drugs include: Antibiotics containing fluoroquinolones and tetracycline (including doxycycline and Cipro), certain birth control and estrogen pills and some antiinflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen and naproxen (though the reaction is rare).

Recommended Types of Sunglasses Often the labels on sunglasses promise protection from ultraviolet light and other kinds of natural radiation. It is important to know what kind of light you need to protect your eyes from and what type of light is not necessarily harmful.

• Blocks 99 percent of ultraviolet rays: You should always buy sunglasses with this feature.

UVB radiation is considered more dangerous to the eyes and skin than UVA radiation.

• Impact resistant: All sunglasses must meet impact standards set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety. No lens is truly unbreakable, but plastic lenses are less likely than glass lenses to shatter when hit by a ball or stone.

• Polarized: Polarized lenses cut reflected glare — sunlight that bounces off smooth surfaces like pavement, car windows, chromed surfaces or water.

They can be particularly useful for driving and fishing.

• Lens darkness: A medium lens is good for day-to-day wear, but if you use the glasses for very bright conditions, choose a darker lens.

• Photochromic: A photochromic glasses lens automatically darkens in bright light and becomes lighter in low light. Most of the darkening takes place in about half a minute, while the lightening takes about five minutes.

• Wraparound style: Wraparound glasses are shaped to keep light from shining around the frames and into your eyes. Studies have shown that enough UV rays enter around ordinary eyeglass frames to reduce the benefits of protective lenses. Large-framed wraparound sunglasses can protect your eyes from all angles.

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, we use advanced technology to treat a variety of eye problems, including sun related eye diseases.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s why we have state-of-the-art optical shops with dedicated opticians ready to help in selecting good sun glasses.

Letter to the Editor

Victims of Domestic Violence Face Lack of Housing and Legal Services The National Network to End Domestic Violence released the results from its 2014 Census, an annual report which tracks unduplicated requests for domestic violence services across one, 24-hour period. Once again the numbers are staggering: 2,193 individuals requested services across Massachusetts in a single day (September 10, 2014). That is enough people to fill the Green Monster seats at Fenway Park – ten times over!

Of those 2,193 victims of violence, 855 victims found safety in emergency shelters or transitional housing and 940 were assisted by

a crisis hotline or received counseling, advocacy or group support.

The balance – some 398 victims – were unable to receive help due to resource shortages. This most starkly plays out in the arenas of affordable housing, financial assistance and legal representation.

Locally, New Hope is seeing the same trends.

Due to a lack of affordable housing, New Hope clients are unable to transition out of our emergency shelters and into their new homes, resulting in a lack of room vacancy for other at-risk victims looking to flee their abusers.

Similarly, the shortage of low or no-cost legal services in the area makes it more difficult for victims to pursue legal protections from their abusers.

Add to this mix a sharp increase in the demand for services New Hope is experiencing as a result of domestic violence legislation passed in 2014. Enrollment in our Batterer’s Intervention program, RESPECT, is up 19% over year-to-date fiscal 2014 as are requests for counseling (up 30%), supervised visitation (up 26%) and crisis hotline calls (up 4%).

We at New Hope are meeting

these demands with resolve and are working with our legislators to make domestic violence funding a priority in Massachusetts. You can join our efforts by contacting your local representative and asking them to petition State Senator Karen Spilka, Chair of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, to support funding for domestic violence programs. Your phone call could save someone’s life.

Franklin Boys Tennis, a Successful Season Despite Lack of Courts

By Christopher Tremblay The Franklin boy’s tennis team has found themselves on the road for the good part of three years, and although not being able to play in front of their home town fans have done quite nicely. Two years ago the Panthers finished 12-4, last year they were 8-8 and this past spring finished 13-3 tied with North Attleboro for the Hockomock League Title.

After earning a home match in this year’s Division 1 South Tournament Franklin AD Brad Sidwell searched the area to find a court in which Franklin could call their own. Sidwell was able to secure Medway’s court to host Mansfield in the first round, unfortunately “home” cooking was not to the Panther’s liking and Franklin fell 3-2 to Mansfield.

With the first round loss in the state tournament, maybe Sidwell should consider having the new Franklin tennis courts put on hold for a little longer.

“It all started with the bad winter where every team in the area was trying to get into the Adirondack Club to get some practice in.

While very grateful to the time we did get it really wasn’t that much time, but we still had a successful season,” Franklin Coach Paul Par-

Franklin Boys Tennis did well this year despite having to travel.

nell said. “Having no tennis courts in town outside the Adirondack Club, we found ourselves on the road for every one of our matches.

We were involved in something like 50 straight games away from Franklin; that’s a lot of bus rides.”

Despite having found themselves living on the road, in terms of tennis matches, the kids have

Toys Games Floats

adapted well while at the same time the bus rides have given them the opportunity to bond, forming a strong team camaraderie.

“Being on the road all the time didn’t allow us to have the student support we would have liked,” Coach Parnell said.”I was pleased with the amount of parents who made the drive from court to court. It wasn’t like going to a nearby town we had some trips to Stoughton and Taunton, so I was impressed with their commitment.”

Although the Panthers finished at .500 last year their record was rather deceptive as Franklin found themselves in a lot of close matches. And with the hard fought wins/loses Parnell knew that he would be getting a good number of those experienced kids

back this spring.

Sophomore Rahul Herur beat out senior Kyle Pandiscio in the challenge matches to earn the right to play first singles for Franklin, while Pandiscio would be at second singles. Although playing first singles for the first time in his high school career Herur finished 7-9 on the season and Pandiscio went 13-3 at second singles.

“The two were very dissimilar players,” the Coach said. “One (Rahul) shoots from the hip anywhere on the court, while the other (Kyle) is reserved, but a bulldog that wears you down.”

James Johnston opened the season with two straight wins at third singles but in order to strengthen the team Parnell was forced to move him to second doubles.

There teamed with junior Cam

Piana the duo only lost once all season. With the displacement of Johnston from the third singles position sophomore Eli Brooks took his position and went 7-2.

Rounding out the starting 2015 team was the tandem of senior Sean Barker and junior Tom Mancini who went 10-3 at first doubles.

The duo had played together last season and Parnell knew that the twosome would not disappoint this season now that they had a year under their belt.

In addition to the starters, Parnell found a diamond in the ruff in junior Jeremy Gan, who showed up to play for the first time. According to the coach, Gan would have started for the Panthers any other year but this one with all the talent in front of him.

“My eyes lit when I saw him play,” Parnell said. “Along with freshman Derek Wu they became our third doubles team and when they were inserted as our first doubles team against North Attleboro they almost beat them.”

In the past, tennis at Franklin was a 10-week program that began with the athletes dusting off their racquets before the season began and then went back into hiding for the next 10 months.

However, this is 2015, and tennis is becoming a year round sport for Franklin athletes and if they continue to work hard, it should not be long before the Panthers are considered elite, like many of the other sports housed in the town.

Franklin Sports Next Stop: Franklin Pierce College LoMonaco One of Franklin High’s Athletic Gems

By Ken Hamwey Franklin High’s athletic teams featured some top-notch competitors who paid the price for success during the 2014-15 school year by working diligently in practice, striving for excellence and performing at a high level in game action.

On the softball diamond, cocaptain Sabrina LoMonaco was one of those blue-chip athletes who not only improved every season, but also became a Hockomock League all-star and earned a scholarship to play softball at Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, N.H. The 5-foot-10 pitcher-first baseman compiled some impressive statistics during her justcompleted senior campaign and also during a three-year varsity career that concluded with the Panthers bowing in the South Sectional Tournament, 3-2, to Norwood in the second round.

LoMonaco was 11-8, had an earned-run average of 1.63 and struck out 106 hitters in 115 innings. At the plate, she compiled a .369 batting average, hit four home runs and knocked in 19 runs. For her career, she was 25-16 and had an E.R.A. of

Sabrina LoMonaco heads to Franklin Pierce, but will miss Franklin High.

1.65. Her career batting average was .333.

“Sabrina was a dominating presence as a pitcher and at the plate,’’ said Franklin coach Kate Fallon. “On the mound, she displayed speed, moved the ball around to confuse opposing batters and she hit her spots. She worked hard to make herself a better player, and as a captain, she led by example and was a great role model.’’

Two of LoMonaco’s best efforts came in her junior year when she matched North Attleboro’s ace,

Meg Colleran, pitch for pitch and secured a victory in a 2-1 pitchers’ duel. Another superb outing came in the South Sectional Tournament quarterfinal when Franklin downed Silver Lake to advance to the semifinals where it lost to North Attlelboro.

“The Silver Lake game was memorable because we all realized we could beat them after a scoreless game for five innings,’’ LoMonaco recalled. “We pushed across a run in extra innings and then I had the final putout at first base. The regular season win over Colleran was exciting because I helped my own cause by getting

a base hit to win the game. There was a lot of celebrating after that victory.’’

LoMonaco got the call when Franklin needed a victory over Taunton to clinch a tourney berth this spring. “They had beaten us earlier,’’ LoMonaco noted. “It was definitely a game we wanted and needed. I pitched solidly and had good control. We won, 3-2, to qualify for a tourney berth.’’

A power pitcher who can be patient at the plate, LoMonaco excelled by developing a drop curve to go with her fastball, screw ball and change-up. “A lot of hitters chase it and fail to connect,’’ she said. “It moves down, then goes left. But, at the college level, I’ve got to improve the speed of my fastball. I plan on training all summer, focus on mechanics and do strength and conditioning drills. ’’ LoMonaco, who captured Hockomock League all-star honors as a junior and senior, chose Franklin Pierce after the college expressed interest in her as a student-athlete. “I researched the college, visited and liked it a lot,’’ LoMonaco said. “The size is good (Division 2), the location is pleasant and students there seem friendly. I’m not sure what I’ll major in but I hope I can play right away.’’

An honor-roll student, LoMonaco, who threw the shot put in winter track for four seasons, enjoyed her softball career She

admired playing for Fallon and liked working with co-captain Brie Flaherty. “Coach Fallon is a great motivator who knows the game,’’ said LoMonaco who moved to Franklin from Stoughton at age 6.

“Brie was my catcher since middle school. She’s a league all-star who hit and played great defense.’’

Now that graduation has come and gone and so, too, have the softball playoffs, LoMonaco admits she’s a bit sad to see the curtain come down on her Franklin days but knows a new chapter in her life is about to begin at Franklin Pierce.

“It is a bittersweet time,’’ she said. “I played on winning teams every year at Franklin. There were lots of moments filled with joy and excitement. Great relationships also were built with teammates and coaches. But, I know a new chapter is starting when I begin college.’’

LoMonaco no doubt will rely on the same competitive philosophy in college that carried her to excellence at FHS. “I give 100 percent at all times,’’ she emphasized. “I’ll strive to improve daily and also enjoy the game. Whether you win or lose, there’s no regrets when you give an all-out effort.’’

Franklin High had many high caliber athletes during the 201415 school year. In softball, Sabrina LoMonaco was a gem on the diamond.

THE PURR-FECT CAT SHELTER

Loving Volunteers Kneaded

Pet of the Month

Purr-fect Cat Shelter is looking for people who would like to volunteer as cat caregivers. Caregivers are those people who work directly with our cats and kittens. They are responsible for cleaning the rooms and cages, emptying and washing litter boxes, washing and filling water and food dishes and, of course, grooming, playing with and spending time with our cats. Caregivers must be at least 18 years old. We ask that our volunteers sign up for at least 3 shifts a month and that they give us at least a 6 month commitment. There are a.m. and p.m. shifts and a shift lasts about 2 hours. Caregivers will go through 3 training sessions with one of our volunteer trainers. During this time you will go over shelter policies and procedures and will be given a chance to see what a shift is like.

If you are interested in joining our dedicated group of volunteers, go to our website at purrfectcatshelter.org, click on the link for volunteers and download the “cat caregiver” application. Once it is filled out and sent in, our volunteer coordinator will be in touch with you.

If you feel that you are unable to give the time that it takes to be a cat caregiver, there are other opportunities to help PCS. These include foster care, working at events such as petwalk, the yard sale and the bake sale, baking for the bake sale, cat transportation, handyman, clerical, or some other talent you might have. If you are interested, go to the website, click on the volunteer link and download the “volunteer” application form. Once we receive it, someone will be in touch.

Please consider volunteering. You will not be sorry!

This Little Sweetie Loves to Be Brushed The volunteers are in love with this beautiful black and white girl who loves to be brushed. She and a number of other adult kitties could really use a loving home. For whatever reason, a number of loving adult kitties get passed over time and again, and some have been in the Purr-fect Cat Shelter for years. Please consider giving them a forever home.

If you are interested in meeting any of our cats available for adoption 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 Purr-fect 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.

You can also find updates on Purr-fect Cat Shelter on Facebook.

MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES

Lawn Watering Restricted to One Day a Week on Trash Day • • •

No lawn watering between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

No holiday delays for watering.

No lawn watering is permitted on other days of the week.

The summer Water Conservation Measures are needed to limit the daily demand on the water system in order to ensure that adequate water is available to meet the public health and safety needs of the Town of Franklin.

This measure is necessary to maintain the water levels in the tanks for fire protection and nortmal consumption. During the summer months, the Town experiences excessively high demands for water due to lawn watering.

There have been 24-hour periods during which water consumption has been more than twice our average daily water usage for the year. Because of the tremendous increase in the demand for water and State restrictions on the amount of water that can be pumped daily, the Town of

Franklin must place mandatory water conservation measures in effect for lawn watering during the summer months.

A total of 1-inch of water once per week from rain and watering promotes the healthiest lawns.

Non-compliance with these regulations could adversely affect public health and safety. Violators are subject to fines up to $200.

Every Drop Counts Did you know that the average American uses 100 gallons of water every day? But we can all reduce our water use by as much as 30 percent by taking a few simple steps, such as installing WaterSense labeled plumbing fixtures and using water efficiently in our yards. Did you know that the town of Franklin pumped over 990,000,000 gallons of water last year?

The Town of Franklin DPW is committed to protecting the future of our national and local water supply through water-efficient practices, products, and services.

That is why we are partnering with the U.S. Environmental Pro-

Dave Matthews, CPA, Realtor Century 21 Commonwealth

tection Agency (EPA) to bring to you WaterSense, a national program that offers people a simple way to make product choices that use less water—and perform as well or better than your existing products.
