Holliston Dancers Step Their Way 

into World Championship 

Team Takes First Place in Category in Irish World Dancing Championships 

By J.D. O’Gara 

It’s one thing to enter a dance competition. It’s quite 

another to become the world champions in your category, 

especially when you’re a U.S. team competing 

with Irish and Scottish teams in the Irish World Dancing 

Championships in Glascow, Scotland. Holliston 

teens Emma Schiller, a junior at Montrose School in 

Medfield, and Meghan Evans, a senior at Holliston 

High School, traveled to Scotland over the Easter 

weekend for the Irish World Dancing Championships. 

Their team placed FIRST in the world in the senior 

girls Ceili competition. 

“It was amazing; it was really cool. I felt we were 

going to do well, but I didn’t know we were going to get 

first, so it was really exciting,” says Evans. 

Both dancers, who are top notch in their own right, 

dance with the Harney Academy of Irish Dance in 

Walpole, Mass. under two-time World Champion 

Liam Harney. Each has been dancing since she was 

4-years-old. 

“I’ve actually qualified eight years now to compete,” 

says Schiller, who’s been to Scotland twice for event, as 

well as Philadelphia, Dublin, Glascow and Montreal. 

“It was in Boston once,” she adds. Evans has been to 

seven world competitions. 

Schiller explains that to qualify to go to world, you 

must receive a top 12th placement in your regional 

completion, called “Orieachtas,” or a top 15th placement 

in your nation. 

Emma Schiller and Meghan Evans, both of Holliston, 

became world champions with six other dancers 

from the Harney Academy of Irish Dance in Walpole, 

Mass. over Easter weekend in the Irish Dancing World 

Championships, this year in Scotland.

Association 

Annual SpringFest 

Saturday, May 14 


The Saturday after 

Mother’s Day will be a 

busy time in Holliston. It’s 

the date of the 2016 Holliston 

Business Association’s 

Annual SpringFest, 

from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., a 

day when neighbors can 

come out to see each other 

after a long hibernation, 

and businesses can get a 

kick-start to the summer 

season. 

“It’s a perfect time,” says 

John Paltrineri, of Fiske’s 

General Store, who’s on 

the planning committee 

along with Kristen Hafford 

and Donna Cady. 

“We’re counting on the 

weather to be good, and 

rather than do it too early, 

where it snowed on our 

SpringFest, we decided on 

after Mother’s Day, before 

Father’s Day, before things 

get crazy for June. May is 

a better month, to move 

forward, so we’ll probably 

continue in May.” 

Down at Blair Square 

and the rail trail, there will 

be the annual flea market, 

run by Bobby Blair and 

the traditional s’mores 

by Holliston Boy Scouts. 

Holliston in Bloom will be 

running a Fairy and Toad 

Garden contest and fundraiser, 

as well as offer face 

painting, for a fee, and a 

free marigold potting 

(while supplies last), and 

that will be set up right 

next to Kilkelly Farm’s 

petting zoo. 

Over at the Gilman 

room at the Holliston 

Public Library, Mary 

Greendale and other 

members of the 8-Arch 

Bridge Restoration Project 

will feature the artwork of 

local elementary students

Mall Display Schools Parents 

on Hidden Drugs 

Community Initiative to Help Parents Spot Signs of Substance Use 


HDAAC, Holliston 

Drug and Alcohol 

Awareness Coalition, 

will join other Metrowest 

anti-drug 

community coalitions 

in presenting “Hidden 

in Plain Sight,” 

a recreation of a teen 

bedroom set up at 

the Natick Mall designed 

to help parents 

and other adults over 

21 spot signs of substance 

abuse. Specially 

trained “tour guides” from MetroWest 

community coalitions 

will walk participants through 

the display, providing education 

about adolescent development 

and common signs of substance 

use. 

“The bedroom will be full of 

20-30 different “warning signs” 

including drug paraphernalia 

and signs of other risky behavior. 

To go alongside the event, 

HDAAC will have a much 

smaller display at the Spring Festival 

to help parents identify high 

risk items in their own homes,” 

says Gina Stucchi, of HDAAC. 

The display will be open to 

the public on weekdays from 

May 9-26, with a kickoff event 

on May 10, at 10 a.m. Hours are 

as follows: 

• Mondays, Wednesdays and 

Fridays: 5-9 p.m. 

• Tuesdays and Thursdays: 

10 a.m.-2 p.m. 

• Select weekend dates of 

Saturday, May 21st and 

Sunday, May 22nd, 12-4 

p.m. 

“During their visit, parents 

will be hands-on with the display 

to find hidden items. There will 

also be a script to go along with 

the tour of the bedroom. It’s really 

an awesome display and we 

are very lucky that the Natick 

Mall donated the empty store 

and the furniture to our cause,” 

says Stucchi. 

HDAAC’s SpringFest booth 

will feature drawers full of items 

typically found in a teen’s room, 

and organizers will ask parents to 

pick out five items that may suggest 

high risk behavior. 

“The training for Hidden in 

Plain Sight really opened our eyes 

to some of the items we may not 

think of as high risk. Some of the 

items may not be risky alone, but 

when multiple items are found, it 

could suggest high risk behavior. 

For example: Red Bull may not 

be considered too risky, but if you 

notice an abnormal increase in 

red bull cans in your teens room 

along with missed curfews and 

slipping grades, then it may suggest 

the Red Bull is being used to 

get your teen up in the morning 

after they stay out late at night 

using substances,” says Stucchi. 

“We are trying to help parents 

connect the dots before the risky 

behavior turns into a bad habit 

or lifestyle.”

Holliston Athletic Boosters Brings 

Bubble Soccer to Metrowest 


Who wouldn’t want to at least 

watch grown people don giant, 

inflatable bubbles and bump 

each other around while attempting 

to get a soccer ball into a 

goal? Holliston Athletic Boosters 

Association is bringing the crazy 

fun of bubble soccer to the area 

for the first time with 

Holliston’s first Bubble 

Soccer Tournament, to 

take place from 1-4 p.m. 

on Saturday, May 14, at 

Kamitian Field in Holliston. 

“My son did it in college 

at their spring weekend 

last year, and he said 

it was so much fun,” 

says HABA President 

Jill Sykes, “You have to

be in high school or older.” She 

explains that the players must be 

tall enough to be able to bend 

their legs inside the bubble. The 

event welcomes adults of any 

age, in particular recent graduates 

who might be home from 

college. Teams of 6-8 adventurous 

souls of any gender will play 

a round robin tournament of

8-minute games. 

“I’m really excited to be able 

to try something so different,” 

says event organizer Alice Mc- 

Callum, who has three kids involved 

in Holliston sports. “We 

usually get really good support 

because everyone supports what 

HABA is doing, but everyone is 

really excited about this simply 

because it’s fun. Even 

people who don’t realize 

what HABA does 

are excited about 

coming out.” 

Four players at a 

time line up at opposite 

ends of the field 

and a soccer ball is 

placed in the middle. 

When the whistle is 

blown, players charge 

toward the ball in an 

attempt to score on 

their opponents while knocking 

them out of the way. There are 

no goalies. 

Bubble soccer started as a 

gag on a Norwegian TV show, 

but when video of it went viral 

on YouTube, people everywhere 

began to try it. It is now popular 

in Norway, Italy, Austria, and 

other countries, and has generated 

around 40 leagues in the 

U.S. (People curious about what 

it looks like can find videos online 

of Jimmy Fallon giving it a go on 

“Late Night” with Colin Farrell 

and Chris Pratt.) 

“We’re encouraging families 

to stop by for the entertainment 

On May 14, the day of the Holliston SpringFest, HABA will present 

Internet-famous Bubble Soccer. The fundraiser will be as much fun to 

watch as it will be to play and will take place on Kamitian Field from 

1-4 p.m. Photos provided by MA Sports Leagues. 

value,” says Sykes, of the fundraiser. 

“We’ll have our concession 

stand open for lunch food.” 

Complete rules and information 

are available on HABA’s 

web site, (https://sites.google. 

com/site/habaholliston/ ). Entry 

is $150 per team, and proceeds 

benefit HABA (a nonprofit organization) 

and the Holliston High 

School athletic programs it supports. 

Registrations must be received 

by May 11. 

“HABA’s mission is to provide 

opportunities for parents, 

alumni, and friends to support 

all interscholastic sports teams at 

HHS,” said HABA President Jill 

Sykes, noting the organization 

supports 26 teams at the high 

school level. “We do that by providing 

funding for field and field 

house improvements and specialized 

sports equipment, and by 

supporting teams’ own efforts for 

events such as Senior Nights. We 

also provide four $500 scholarships 

each year to college-bound 

senior athletes that have been 

HABA members.” 

HABA raises its funds through 

member dues, concession income 

and fundraising events 

like this bubble tournament, says 

Sykes. Each sport has a liaison on 

the HABA committee. 

“We provide money and all 

the athletic achievement awards 

for their banquets, do all the banner 

updates in the Fieldhouse; we 

built the concession stand, have 

done such field improvements, 

updated the press box, bought 

training equipment and Panther 

team chairs, paid for bleachers. 

Since 2006, we have spent 

$205,000 on improvements,” 

says Sykes.

DANCERS 


“At regionals, I got 5th place 

(in solos), and then Meghan actually 

won her regional competition,” 

says Schiller. “At the 

national competition, I got 8th 

place, and Meghan got third.” 

The girls’ team of 8 did win 

its regional competition. Schiller 

explains that getting eight 

dancers of this high a quality 

together can be difficult, but, 

“it just happened this year, 

now that we’re all older and do 

competitions and a few other 

girls were willing to travel over 

and compete with us.” The 

other team members came 

from Norfolk, Sherborn, Mansfield, 

Walpole Rhode Island. 

Once at the competition, 

Schiller explains that there are 

hundreds of dancers competing, 

and there were scores of 

teams competing in the same 

category as their team. 

“There’s just a lot of people,” 

says Schiller, explaining 

that teams perform in front of 

seven judges. Winning there 

was significant, she says, “especially 

when it comes to overseas 

competition, home teams 

have the upper hand when it 

comes to jet lag, and a lot of 

overseas judges own the different 

dance schools. There’s all 

sorts of things that play into 

that.” After competing in a 

round, the top 50% of teams 

get called back. After the second 

round, scores are calculated. 

“What was most exciting 

was the team right in front of 

us, their scores were being said 

right before ours, they were 

phenomenal, a Scottish team 

that were phenomenal,” says

Schiller. “I think we all thought 

so.” The final score for that 

Scottish team, however, was 

412.5, and Schiller and Evans’ 

team received 415. 

Both dancers say the experience 

is life changing, worth the 

15-20 hours of dance and cross 

training they need to do each 

week. 

“It’s fun to come together 

with people who share the 

same love as you. It’s fun, a 

crazy atmosphere. We’re all 

teenagers, all excited to be 

there,” says Schiller. 

“I love traveling around 

the world,” says Evans, who 

is headed to UMass Amherst 

this fall. “It’s really cool and 

I probably wouldn’t do that 

otherwise as much, and I love 

all my friends at dance. It just 

keeps me really motivated to 

do many things.”

give the perfect blonde highlight,

You’re going to get that red carpet 

hair. We want clients to feel

good,” says Cohen.

Boy Scout Beautifies Holliston PD for Eagle Project 


If you’ve been past the Holliston 

Police Department lately, 

you’ll notice that it’s been 

spruced up. That’s thanks to Boy 

Scout Brandon Battick, of Holliston 

Boy Scout Troop 73. The 

17-year-old student at Holliston 

High School decided to beautify 

the police station property as his 

project to earn Eagle Scout, the 

highest rank a Boy Scout can 

earn. 

“So what we’re doing, we’re 

beautifying the police station, 

planting flowers, cutting down 

weeds, kind of tuning it up,” 

says Battick. “I was looking for 

a thing to do, and I noticed the 

police station. There was nothing 

to it; it was just sort of dead 

bushes and stuff, and I thought, 

there’s an opportunity right 

there.” Battick says with Memorial 

Day coming up, he thought 

it would be great to improve the 

spot. 

Battick says he got a lot of 

advice from Mr. Ahronian, from 

Ahronian Landsaping. 

“They’re helping a lot—and 

donating compost,” says Battick 

The landscaper helped Battick 

mark out beds weith spraypaint, 

and later the flowers were donated 

by Holliston in Bloom. 

In mid-April, Battick recruited 

a number of people from 

his troop to come out on a weekend 

and help. 

After getting his project approved 

by the Boy Scout council, 

Battick will now have to submit 

more paperwork on how the 

process went. 

“It’s the final step to Boy 

Scouts,” says Battick. “It’s the 

big thing. There’s all kinds of 

ranks to build up.” Battick says 

Boy Scout Brandon Bettick decided to beautify Holliston Police Station 

for his Eagle Project. 

he has been in Boy Scouts for 

seven years. 

“I just kind of enjoyed being 

outside and just camping. It 

was just fun being with all your 

friends and stuff and just going 

on all these adventures. There’s 

a lot of stuff we do, but simple 

camping in the woods where we 

bring tents, those are my favorite, 

because they feel laid back,” 

says Brandon. He adds that the 

troop has also done things like 

indoor rock climbing, Sky Zone, 

summer Boy Scout camp and 

Arcadia. “And those are just a 

few of them,” he says. 

Since he’s been a scout, says 

Battick, the numbers of Boy 

Scouts in town has risen. He says 

he’s worked with leaders including 

Mike Tyman, Brian Ogilve 

and Chris Flanagan. 

“It’s insane, it’s grown so 

much. People just keep coming,” 

he says. 

Brandon Battick worked with 

Mark Ahronian to spruce up 

Holliston Police Station grounds 

in mid-April for his Eagle 

project.

Vesta’s Community 

Shredding Day 

Honoring Earth Day 

Vesta Real Estate Group’s 5th 

annual Community Shredding 

Day will be held on Saturday, May 

21st from 9 a.m. to Noon. Held 

at the parking lot of the Holliston 

High School, it is a great opportunity 

to recycle and repurpose 

many items around the house. 

Vesta Real Estate Group of 

Keller Williams Realty hosts this 

event in Holliston, making it free 

of charge to residents. “We saw 

this event in another community 

and felt it was a terrific idea 

to bring to Holliston,” says Vesta 

Team member Ed Daniels, “The 

participation has grown every year 

and we really enjoy celebrating 

Earth Day with residents in this 

way.” 

Activities that take place at this 

event include: 

• On-site, secure Shredding of 

personal documents 

• Donations of Clothing, Shoes, & 

Books to Habitat for Humanity 

A large on-site shredding truck 

from iShred allows you to watch 

your personal documents being 

shred right in front of you. Last 

year we filled the shredding truck 

15 minutes before shutting down 

the event. Let’s fill it again this 

year! 

Vesta Real Estate Group is 

happy to announce a partnership 

with Habitat for Humanity for this 

year’s event. Habitat for Humanity 

is a non-profit organization 

building 2 homes in Holliston. 

Representatives will be on hand to 

collect clothing, shoes, books, etc. 

All financial donations collected at 

the event will also be passed along 

to the local Habitat chapter. 

In year’s past, we have also offered 

electronics recycling, but the 

industry has changed a lot over 

the past year, and many options 

have dried up in this field. Unfortunately, 

we were unable to find a 

vender to offer these services to the 

community this year. 

To allow us to provide this service 

to the community as a FREE 

event, a Very Special Thanks go to 

this year’s sponsors: 

• Edward Moloney of GM 

Mortgage 

• Guy Oliver of Affordable 

Mold Removal 

• Scott Mayo of Mayo Industries 

• The Corner Market, Holliston 

Full details about the event, and 

a list of items that Habitat for Humanity 

is taking, is available on our 

website at www.VestaMA.com. 

Contact Ed Daniels of Vesta 

Real Estate Group, at Ed@ 

VestaMA.com or (774) 233-1926 

for more information or to take 

part as a volunteer at the event.

Tickets on Sale for Knights of Columbus Annual Raffle 

Proceeds from the Event Support Pantry Shelf, 

Senior Center and Veterans’ Organizations 


Now’s the time to get your 

raffle ticket for the St. Mary’s 

Knights of Columbus Council 

#14224 8th Annual Charity 

Raffle. The drawing for the raffle 

is coming up on Tuesday, June 

15, 2016, and you could have a 

chance to win some great cash 

prizes, totaling $2,000, including 

a $1,000 First Prize, $500 

Second Prize, $250 Third Prize, 

$150 Fourth Prize and $100 Fifth 

Prize. Proceeds help the organization, 

which began this local 

chapter in 2007, support community 

causes. 

“Our major beneficiaries are 

the Holliston Pantry Shelf, the 

Holliston Senior Center, and veteran’s 

organizations – this year 

Homes for Troops and possibly 

another one,” says Tom Anguish, 

the Knights of Columbus member 

who began the charity raffle. 

“Last year, with a combination 

of our Raffle and our annual 

Wine and Beer Tasting 

Night in the Fall, we were able 

to donate over $20,000,” says 

Anguish, including $5,000 each 

to the Holliston Pantry Shelf, 

Holliston Senior Center and 

veterans’ organizations, as well 

as a combined $5,000 in other 

donations. In total, the Knights 

of Columbus have been able to 

donate over $100,000 from the 

funds of its raffle since it began 

seven years ago, which translates 

to over $32,000 for the Holliston 

Pantry Shelf, $22,600 to the 

Senior Center, $24,600 to veterans’ 

organizations, $8,000 to 

St. Mary’s Parish and $20,000 

to other causes, which include 

among others, Eagle Scout projects, 

Special Olympics, wheelchairs 

for veterans, and Wreaths 

Across America. 

This year, Anguish is running 

the raffle with Hal Scaramella, 

Aaron Pyman, and Ryland 

Hanstad, three of the 55 members 

of the Catholic men’s group, 

most of whom (94%) helped out 

with the raffle in some way last 

year, from selling certificates to 

donating. The group is also looking, 

for the first time this year, for 

ways to help support Habitat for 

Humanity (www.habitatmwgw. 

org). 

“They’re as dedicated as I 

am,” says Anguish, “and if I 

could raise $50,000 I would. 

Amy porter, from the Holliston 

Pantry Shelf, says, “We 

are extremely grateful for that 

so many people from our community 

join together as a unified 

group for just one of many worthy 

causes and that we are one of 

the recipients of their efforts. Accepting 

the check from Knights 

of Columbus, year after year in 

front of the crowd at Celebrate 

Holliston is an honor and provides 

a great example of volunteerism 

for people of all ages. We 

truly appreciate their dedication 

and commitment to helping our 

organization fight hunger in Holliston.” 

Anguish notes that in February, 

the Holliston Pantry Shelf 

supported 214 families in Holliston. 

“The $5,000 we donated lasts 

almost 2 weeks,” he says. “Their 

budget is $2,800 a week on groceries, 

down from $3,700 last 

year since they partnered with 

New location. 

New deals. 

89B West Main Street (Next to Starbucks) 

Hopkinton 508-497-0700 

the Greater Boston Food Bank, 

but 86 cents of every dollar donated 

goes to groceries, and their 

donations last year were 40% 

lower than in 2014. The rest is 

for rent, the van and other expenses. 

There’s no paid staff,” 

says Anguish. 

The donation to the Senior 

Center goes a long way as well. 

“We are extremely appreciative 

and grateful to have that 

$5,000. I don’t know if people 

know how it helps our seniors in 

Holliston. The money is used for 

wellness programs, lunches and 

other special events. There’s no 

town funding for any of those 

programs,” says Jean Boulette, 

director of the Holliston Senior 

Center, who explains, “Our senior 

center budget is used only for 

salaries and operating expenses 

of the building. (The donation) 

really helps the seniors. We can 

offer more free programs, such as 

the one with Gary Highlander in 

May and then in June. 

The Knights of Columbus 

present their donations to the 

Pantry Shelf and Senior Center 

at the annual Celebrate Holliston 

event. Veterans’ donations 

are made on Veteran’s Day, and 

Anguish says other donations are 

made when appropriate. 

The Knights of Columbus 

will sell no more than 6,000 tickets 

for this raffle, and tickets are 

$5 each or a book of 5 for $20. 

You must be 18 years or older to 

purchase a ticket. There are no 

refunds, but the sponsor reserves 

the right to refund ticket price in 

lieu of awarding prizes if insufficient 

number of tickets are sold, 

and taxes are the sole responsibility 

of the winners, who need not 

be present to win. 

You can purchase a ticket 

from any member of the Holliston 

Knights of Columbus, or

to take advantage of group sale

Pinecrest Golf Course, Then and Now 

Thirty Years Has Seen a Big Change, 

Thanks to Grassroots Effort 


Thirty years ago, Pinecrest 

Golf Course looked a lot different. 

And as always, there’s a story 

about its transformation. 

In 1986, a developer offered 

its then owner person $1 million 

to buy the 181-acre parcel

of land and turn the property 

into a development of townhouses. 

Deb Moore, chair of the 

Pinecrest Golf Course Advisory 

Committee, remembers it well. 

“I had read an article on the 

front page of the Metrowest Daily 

News that this was coming before 

the town, and I initiated a grassroots 

movement in town. We got 

a petition and got 750 signatures 

in three days and went before a 

Board of Selectmen’s meeting. 

So many came they had to hold 

the meeting up for 30 minutes 

while people checked in,” Moore 

remembers. The petition encouraged 

the town of Holliston to exercise 

its right of first refusal and 

purchase the land. 

Once the town decided to 

purchase the property, the next 

step was figuring out the best way 

to run it. Moore was selected to 

chair the committee of seven that 

would research how it would operate. 

“I was only non-golfer and 

the only female at the time. We 

looked at about 10 other golf 

courses in the New England area 

and made a proposal to selectmen 

on how to run it, which they 

adopted, and they still use that 

model today,” she says, noting 

that the golf course is leased to 

Johnson Management and the 

clubhouse restaurant is leased 

to John Ficco. With this model, 

rather than being supported by 

the town, the golf course brings 

$50,000 to $60,000 to the town’s 

general fund every year. 

And it boasts a big change. 

“Over that course of time 

to the present, we’ve done numerous 

capital improvements,” 

says Moore, who is on the committee 

along with Larry Wise, 

Bob Smith, Sylvia Stickney and 

Chrysso Lawless. (There are two 

open spots.) 

“We have built the new clubhouse, 

pro shop, new maintenance 

building. We’ve put in two 

parking lots and a septic system 

(completed in 2001), built a practice 

range, the best in the area, 

all sodded.” Moore notes that 

the committee even refurbished 

a well at the top of the practice 

range, and then had the pond on 

the golf course dug out to make it 

deeper. “We pump water 

from the well to the 

pond, and put in a new 

irrigation system to the 

course, with water that 

is in the pond.” The golf 

course also features new 

tees and boasts a tree 

planting program that 

adds not only beauty, but 

safety for golfers as well. 

Deb and John Moore 

have also put a lot of 

sweat into beautifying 

the course. 

When asked, Deb 

Moore concedes that the 

work she has done for the golf 

course is all voluntary. “Over the 

years, I’ve probably put in thousands 

and thousands of hours, 

since 1987,” she laughs, and adds 

that she is still not a golfer. What 

she is, however, is a lover of flowers. 

“As I was doing projects, I 

thought I should start planting 

flowers to spruce the place up. I 

started doing that more than 25 

years ago,” says Moore, who says 

she has worked alongside her 

husband, John, who is the “muscle” 

of the flower-planting duo. 

“I couldn’t do it without him,”

she says. 

The effort began with simple 

planters and hanging baskets on 

what Moore calls “the shack of 

a clubhouse we had.” After the 

new clubhouse was built, she 

had a vision of a white fence 

with plantings on both sides, and 

when that came to fruition, she 

says, “I started getting carried 

away, putting window boxes on 

decks, and planters, and doing 

walkways, and then I have flowers 

planted on all 18 holes.” 

Caring for the plantings takes 

up so much of the Moores’ time 

that the couple, who own a vacation 

property, often find that 

they must take turns retreating 

to their summer home in order 

for one of them to take care of 

all the plantings. 

“It’s just us, and then we have 

to water. Watering takes 

probably four days a week, 

and then of course we have 

to fertilize, and we have 

to go out and shop for the 

plants,” says Moore. 

The effort has paid off. 

Not only does the property 

look exceptionally beautiful, 

but America in Bloom 

judges gave Pinecrest 

awards for their efforts 

twice. In addition, Deb 

Moore was recognized as a 

Celebrate Holliston “Citizen 

of the Year” in 2001. 

Moreover, Moore derives 

a lot of satisfaction 

Atrius Health Names 

Dr. Bradley Denker as 

Chief of Nephrology 

Atrius Health, in Newton, 

Mass., is pleased to announce 

that Dr. Bradley Denker, of Holliston, 

has been named as the organization’s 

Chief of Nephrology. 

Dr. Denker has worked at Atrius 

Health since 2000 when he joined 

its Harvard Vanguard Medical 

Associates practice. As Chief, Dr. 

Denker will lead the Atrius Health 

Nephrology Department, which 

offers comprehensive care to patients 

with various kidney-related 

problems, including chronic kidney 

disease, electrolyte disorders, 

kidney stones, and peritoneal dialysis, 

among many others. 

Dr. Denker practices at Harvard 

Vanguard’s Boston Kenmore 

office located near Fenway. A 

graduate of the State University of 

New York Medical School in Syracuse, 

NY, Dr. Denker completed 

his internal medicine residency at 

the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, 

Maryland. He completed 

a one-year fellowship in hematology 

in the laboratory of Dr. Peter 

Agre (2003 Nobel Laureate for 

the discovery of Aquaporins) at 

Johns Hopkins before completing 

his nephrology fellowship at the 

Brigham and Women’s Hospital 

from 1988-1992. Dr. Denker is 

also an associate professor of medicine 

at Harvard Medical School 

and the clinical chief in the renal 

division at Beth Israel Deaconess 

Medical Center. 

from seeing what the golf course, 

located right in her back yard 

as it abuts her property, get use 

from the town. ”Quite a few people 

ski, skate and snowshoe, so it 

gets used all four seasons, which 

is nice,” says Moore. “So many 

people from town of all ages golf 

there, from the very youngest to 

our senior citizens,” she says. 

“It’s a very busy place.” 

One of Moore’s favorite 

things, she says, is seeing “people 

from the town up there enjoying 

themselves. Sometimes in our 

busy lives, we don’t get to enjoy 

ourselves or enjoy our neighbors. 

It’s lovely to be able to sit up 

there, on the deck in the fresh air, 

watching golfers and enjoying 

each other’s company… that’s 

really the best thing for me.”

Most people think acne is a teenage condition. The truth is, many people continue to experience 

acne well into adulthood. 

Acne is mostly an inherited genetic condition that is caused by too much oil and excess shedding 

of skin cells inside the pores. Many acne prone individuals start to experience break outs during 

puberty when the follicles mature. Acne often occurs in males during adolescence because of surging 

testosterone, an oil producing hormone, but women can experience acne for the first time in 

their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s without ever having had it as a teen. 

Several factors can contribute to adult acne: 

Hormonal Fluctuations. Hormones stimulate oil production. Women’s hormones fluctuate 

throughout their lives with ovulation, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. 

Medications. Adult acne can occur with the use of medications like anabolic steroids, thyroid 

medications and some brands of birth control. 

Stress. It stimulates the adrenal glands which release testosterone stimulating oil production. 

Pore Clogging Ingredients. For those who are acne prone, some ingredients found in cleansers, 

moisturizers, shaving creams, make-up and shampoos can aggravate acne. 

Environmental Influences. Poor diet and certain work environments. 

There is no quick fix for acne, but it can be controlled with proper home care, professional treatments 

and modified lifestyle habits.

The Boston Molasses Flood, 

Thursday, June 16, 1 p.m. 

In the early afternoon of January 

15, 1919, a fifty-foot steel tank 

filled with over two million gallons 

of molasses collapsed in Boston’s 

North End sending its sticky contents 

in a fifteen-foot wave through 

the neighborhood streets. The disaster 

was blamed on immigrant 

anarchists. The event knocked 

Prohibition and the end of World 

War I out of the headlines and resulted 

in a huge civil law suit that 

was not resolved until 1925.

Volunteer Dentists Mark Stone, DMD, MScD, Paul Hubley, DMD, and Tim Hempton, DDS, with Massasoit 

Community College Dental Assistant Director and Students at the Free Dental Screening Clinic 

A free dental screening clinic 

for senior citizens will be held 

in Attleboro on Saturday, May 

7 from 8:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 

the Rev. Larsen Senior Center, 

25 South Main Street in Attleboro. 

To schedule your free appointment 

at the screening, call 

the Attleboro Council on Aging 

at (774) 203-1906. Appointments 

are open to any older adult, age 

60 or over, from any town. 

At the free screening clinic, 

participants will receive a dental 

screening exam and have the opportunity 

to discuss the findings 

with the dentist in the clinic’s relaxed, 

friendly setting. Dentists 

from our area, including Dr. Donald 

Pierce, have volunteered to examine 

patients for problems with 

their teeth, gums, and dentures. 

Participants will also be screened 

for oral cancers and have the opportunity 

to receive free denture 

cleaning and labeling provided by 

students from the Massasoit Community 

College’s Dental Assisting. 

Students will also offer tips and 

answer questions about good oral 

hygiene. All students are under 

the supervision of their instructor 

as they participate in the screening 

clinic. 

Nutritional information will 

be provided about food choices 

to those experiencing chewing 

problems, dry mouth, medication 

interactions, and other concerns. 

“More than three-quarters 

of older adults in Massachusetts 

don’t have dental insurance,” explains 

Dr. Donald Pierce, a North 

Attleboro dentist and planning 

committee co-chair. “Many of 

the seniors who attended the free 

screening clinic haven’t been to 

a dentist in a while, so they have 

concerns they want to discuss. At 

the screening clinic we take time 

to talk with them and answer their 

questions.” 

It is the mission of the Elder 

Dental Program to support oral 

health prevention and education 

for seniors. Studies have shown 

that lack of oral health care can 

lead to serious overall health care

risks. According to the CDC, recent 

studies link oral infections 

with diabetes, heart disease, and 

stroke. Most oral diseases are preventable. 

During the screening, 

which is open to any older adult 

from any town, participants can 

also learn more about the Elder 

Dental Program, a project of the 

Community VNA, which helps 

low income seniors to access 

local dental services provided at

Holliston DI Makes a Historic 

Run to Global Finals 

On May 25th, ten Holliston 

High School students will travel 

to Knoxville, TN to compete 

in the 2015-2016 Destination 

Imagination Global Finals at the 

University of Tennessee. But before 

any of these talented teens 

step foot on a plane, they will 

already have made history, not 

once, but twice. 

Destination Imagination is a 

not-for-profit organization that 

teaches students of all ages creative 

problem-solving through 

innovative challenges and competitions. 

Every year, hundreds 

of elementary, middle-school 

and high school teams from 

across Massachusetts compete 

in regional tournaments, then 

MADI State Finals, vying for the 

right to represent the Bay State at 

Globals. But in what may well be 

a first for the state, this year one 

town will send two teams from 

the same age group to compete 

in Global Finals in the same challenge. 

As if that wasn’t enough, 

John’s 

family owned and operated for 45 years 

DESOUSA PLASTERING 

No Job Too Big or Too Small 

one of those teams will also compete 

in a second challenge as 

well. 

Karin Knapik has been involved 

with Destination Imagination 

for decades, first as a 

competitor, then as a team manager, 

and now as the Affiliate 

Director for Massachusetts DI 

and even she can’t remember a 

showing like this. “I would say it 

is very rare if it has happened at 

all.” 

At the MADI State Finals, 

the “Creative-a-trees” team of 

Joshua Perlmutter, Ariana Ameli, 

Ryan Cahill, Abby Meltzer, Kent 

Perlmutter, and James Crews 

took part in two different events, 

one a service-learning task, the 

other an improvisation challenge. 

The four seniors and two 

sophomores finished second in 

the state in the former, and were 

crowned champions in the latter, 

earning the right to attend 

Global Finals and compete in 

both events against teams from

But they quickly learned they 

wouldn’t be alone, as the “Accidental 

Peanuts,” comprised of 

HHS sophomores Maria Gentile, 

Olivia Palmer, Hazel Peters 

and Jenna Pralat, finished right 

behind them in the Improv challenge, 

punching their ticket to 

Knoxville as well. 

“I really didn’t fully comprehend 

what was happening,” admits 

Peters, thinking back to the 

awards ceremony at the state 

tournament, when the two teams 

were called up to the podium in 

succession. “It was unreal because 

I knew it was such a rare 

occurrence.” 

With nearly two months 

between the State Finals and 

Global Finals, the teams have 

plenty of work to do, and not all 

of it involves practicing their performance 

skills and flexing their 

creative muscles. Fundraising to 

defray the cost of making the trip 

to Tennessee will take up even 

more time and creativity. 

Kristine Perlmutter, team 

manager of the Creative-a-trees 

and the MADI Region Seven 

Coordinator, has tallied up the 

costs and set an ambitious goal. 

“With ten students heading to 

the tournament, we’re trying to 

raise $10,000 to cover their registration 

and travel costs.” 

The two teams will certainly 

On Monday, April 16, Fiske’s General Store donated $345 to Holliston’s 

Destination Imagination Teams, headed to the Global Finals in 

Knoxville, TN late this month.

go head-to-head against each 

other at Globals, but in the 

meantime, they’ve decided to 

work together rather than compete 

for local donations. All ten 

students will combine their fundraising 

efforts which will include 

pink flamingo “flocking” on the 

lawns of Holliston in the coming 

weeks, and a May 6th “Kids 

Night Out” event for 3rd-5th 

graders at Miller Elementary 

School. 

“The members of the teams 

will act as counselors for the 

night,” according to the Accidental 

Peanuts’ team manager, 

Shawn Peters. “Parents can drop 

their kids off and head out to dinner 

while their kids play sports, 

watch a movie, and even learn 

improv games. It’ll be about the 

same as a babysitter, but a lot 

more fun, and for a better cause.” 

With generous donations from 

Holliston PTSA and Fiske’s General 

Store, the teams are on their 

way to their goals. Local businesses 

and organizations that 

would like to help sponsor their 

efforts or community members 

interested in their fundraising 

events and initiatives can email 

the teams at HollistonDI2016@ 

gmail.com . 

By Memorial Day Weekend, 

both teams will know how 

they’ve stacked up against the 

hundreds of other teams they’ll 

face at Global Finals. But win or 

lose at Globals, these ten teenagers 

will know they’ve already 

made a little bit of history, and 

put Holliston on the map as an 

unlikely creative capital in Massachusetts.

Holliston Boys Lacrosse Aims to 

Move Ahead this Season 

By Christopher Tremblay 

The Holliston boy’s lacrosse 

team is looking to improve upon 

last year’s 5-13 season under first 

year coach Anthony Karpouzis. 

The team lost some talented seniors 

from last year’s squad and 

will find themselves very young 

entering this year’s campaign.

“Honestly, I know that we 

are a young team, with only 7 

or 8 seniors, but our goal is to 

be the best that we can be,” the 

new Panther Coach said. “We 

may even find ourselves playing 

spoiler for some as the year goes 

on, but our ultimate goal is to get 

into the tournament.” 

Although early in the season 

the Panthers find themselves sitting 

at 1-2 through the first three 

games. In its most recent contest 

Holliston caught Wayland off 

guard and went into the half with 

a 5-4 lead, but eventually fell 8-6. 

“We play in the Tri-Valley 

League with a lot of heavy 

teams,” Karpouzis said. “I’m still 

unfamiliar with all the teams, but 

the tournament is on our radar. 

If we surprise a few in addition 

to winning the games that we 

should, we’ll not only have a fun 

season, but one that ends up in 

the tournament.” 

Karpouzis sees his team more 

as a defensive squad that plays 

every game tough; the offense 

is starting to come together and 

make this team a well rounded 

one. 

Leading the Panthers are its 

quad captains in senior Zack 

Spering (a well rounded defender 

who does everything) and juniors 

First-year coach Anthony Karpouzis plans to make the most of 

Holliston’s young lacrosse team’s great defensive skills while 

sharpening its offense this year. 

Ben Salley (the team’s tough 

guy, the enforcer who brings a 

edge), Nate Haywood (text book 

and analytical) and Dalton Ring 

(midfielder). According to the 

coach, each captain beings a different 

aspect to the game. 

As he mentioned earlier, Karpouzis 

believes that at this time 

in the season the defense is the 

focal point giving the Panthers a 

solid beginning to success. The 

defense begins but also ends 

with sophomore goalie William 

“Wayne” Celorier. 

“Wil is a big kid who covers a 

lot of net; he’s very vocal and has 

great reflexes,” the coach said. 

“He’s good at what he does. He’s 

not shy about bringing the ball 

up field and is a very big asset to 

this team, especially being only a 

sophomore.” 

Offensively, Holliston will look 

to senior attack Ryan Jensen, junior 

midfielders Ring, who is also 

one of the team’s faceoff specialist, 

and Ryan Vazza, the one who 

brings the lumber. Karpouzis will 

also lean heavily on senior Nick 

Skarmeas and junior Mike Alibrandi 

for offensive support. 

One other key cog to the 

team’s success will be junior attack 

man Sam Goldberg. 

“He’s a ranked wrestler with a 

low center of gravity that brings a 

different aspect to the game,” the 

coach said. “He’s not only solid, 

but one hell of an athlete.”


Baker Now Holliston’s A.D. 

Without ‘Interim’ Label 

Sports 

By Ken Hamwey 

The process took five weeks, 

but in the end, the “interim’’ 

label no longer applies to Matt 

Baker, who’s been Holliston’s 

athletic director since last August. 

The 37-year-old Baker became 

the Panthers’ A.D. through 

2018 after interviews with a 

10-member search committee 

and later with three principals, 

and after a public forum where 

he answered a variety of questions. 

“I’m thrilled to be on board 

without the “interim label,’’ said 

Baker who was selected from a 

pool of numerous candidates. 

“This is the outcome I hoped for, 

and we’re already deep into the 

planning for next year.’’ 

Last August, Baker was selected 

on an interim basis to replace 

Craig Najarian, who took 

the A.D. post at Catholic Memorial. 

A former Ashland High 

three-sport star, Baker earned a 

Bachelors degree from Assumption 

College where he majored 

in communications. He later 

earned his Masters degree from 

Framingham State in public administration. 

Baker, who is married, has 

four children and lives in Holliston, 

has some specific goals for 

the future. “I’d like to see participation 

numbers increase for 

some teams, find ways to improve 

some of our facilities, continue to 

assemble a top-notch staff and 

maintain the success that many 

of our squads have achieved,’’ 

he said. 

In his first few months on 

the job last year, Baker was at 

the helm of an ultra-successful 

autumn season. Five of the 

Panthers nine varsity teams competed 

in tournaments and the 

football contingent once again 

brought home a Super Bowl 

crown. The winter campaign 

didn’t quite measure up to the 

fall but the boys’ basketball team 

finished 10-10 and split a pair of 

tourney games after a 1-19 season 

a year ago. Combining the 

fall and winter seasons, Holliston 

has played host to seven MIAA 

tournament games so far. 

Holliston currently has 27 

varsity sports with three of them 

— gymnastics, swimming and 

girls ice hockey — competing as 

co-op ventures. Skiing could become 

the Panthers’ 28th varsity 

offering. “There has been some 

interest and we’re looking into 

skiing as a possible addition,’’ 

Baker said. “Joining another 

school as a co-op team may be 

the way to go.’’ 

Since taking the A.D. reins, 

Baker has hired five new coaches 

(cheerleading, boys’ lacrosse, 

boys’ hockey, boys’ indoor and 

outdoor track and baseball). 

And, there’s little doubt that the 

recently-hired coaches and any 

future appointees will understand 

their roles when participation is 

the topic. 

“To increase our numbers, it’s 

important to reach out to youth 

programs,’’ Baker emphasized. 

“There’s got to be a connection 

with the coaches at the youth 

level. We also have to promote 

youth nights and inform parents 

of what’s ahead. Also, we can 

increase participation by publicizing 

our programs to middle 

school students and by using our 

current student-athletes to promote 

their sport to classmates.’’ 

Bakers hopes to keep athletic 

fees, which are $225 across the 

board, steady and stable. “We 

want to keep fees manageable 

for families and we would never 

deny a student the opportunity to 

compete,’’ Baker said. “Fees have 

become a necessary evil, but we’ll 

strive to keep them stable.’’ 

Baker previously worked for 

two college athletic departments 

— Framingham State University 

and Mass. Bay Community 

College. At Framingham State, 

where he worked for 12 years, he 

directed the intramural program 

and was in charge of the recreation 

center. He also dealt with 

varsity sports programs, monitored 

the equipment room and 

served on a variety of athletic 

committees. 

Before arriving at Holliston, 

Baker was the associate A.D. at 

Mass. Bay in Wellesley where he 

was responsible for scheduling 

and eligibility. He also was an 

academic advisor and served on 

New, permanent HHS A.D. Matt Baker says he will strive to increase 

player numbers by connecting with youth programs and keeping 

playing fees steady for pressed families. 

many college committees. 

Baker says that being an A.D. 

at the high school level differs 

from college in a very distinct 

way. “There’s more interaction 

with the students and there’s definitely 

more of a feeling of community,’’ 

Baker said. “There’s 

more opportunities to be involved 

with students’ activities.’’ 

Baker’s father, Dennis, currently 

is in his second stint as 

A.D. at Bellingham High, often 

has been a great resource. It’s 

that link that no doubt has prepared 

him well for his role at 

Holliston. 

“Some of the key attributes 

for being a good A.D. are patience, 

organization, flexibility, 

objectivity and being a good listener,’’ 

Matt Baker said. 

Words to live by in a position 

that is challenging and constantly 

changing.
