The Brave Arts Initiative: 

Connecting through Art 

The Brave Arts Initiative at 

the Wrentham Developmental 

Center is a series of exhibits 

featuring individual and 

collaborative work between the 

residents, staff, local artists, KP 

High School art students, and 

other community members. 

Supported by the Wrentham 

Cultural Council, the initiative 

hopes to highlight the benefits of 

creative art experiences while reinforcing 

relationships between 

the center and the town. 

Part of a broader program at 

the center celebrating the work 

of artists with developmental 

disabilities, the Brave Arts Initiative 

hopes to bridge the gap 

of public understanding about 

“who we are, what we do, and 

what we can do.” 

The first exhibit, themed Relics 

Reimagined, took place on 

May 17, in conjunction with the 

opening of a new courtyard in 

the complex’s Quinn building. 

Additional exhibits are scheduled 

for June 4 at the Arts on the 

Gilberto Domingos (WDC resident artist) with Heather Richard 

(KP art student). 

Common in Wrentham, and in 

September and October at the 

Fiske Library. 

According to Carol Pino, the 

project manager and energetic 

force behind the Brave Arts 

Initiative, the program explores 

ways that art can strengthen 

communities by connecting people 

through artistic expression. 

Pino, a recreational therapist as 

well as the director of the center’s 

aquatics facility, said the en-

The boardwalk at Mass 

Audubon’s Stony Brook Wildlife 

Sanctuary in Norfolk has 

been temporarily closed by the 

Massachusetts Department of 

Conservation and Recreation 

(DCR). The historic snow and 

ice from two winters ago likely 

caused significant damage to 

the structure, and while some 

repairs were made last summer, 

more severe, unseen damage is 

probably below the waterline. 

This past winter, newly dipping 

and warping sections suggested 

a more extensive problem and 

on March 30 the DCR decided 

to close the boardwalk because 

of safety concerns. 

According to Doug Williams, 

the director of Stony Brook, the 

boardwalk actually falls under 

the purview of the DCR instead 

of Mass Audubon because the 

structure is technically part of 

Bristol Blake State Reservation. 

Managed jointly for 50 years, 

Mass Audubon’s Stony Brook 

and Bristol Blake State Reservation 

are generally considered 

one-and-the-same for most visitors. 

Behind the scenes, however, 

exists an exemplary partnership, 

said Williams, who works weekly 

with DCR supervisor Tom Ashton. 

“The DCR is 100% committed” 

to fixing the boardwalk, 

said Williams. 

State Representative Shawn 

Dooley, a Norfolk resident, has 

stepped in to hasten the process. 

Dooley reached out to the Secretary 

of Environmental Affairs, 

a personal friend, and set in motion 

the engineering inspections 

to evaluate the damage and determine 

the process to get the 

boardwalk repaired. 

“On the immediate side they 

are working to get the sensory 

part of the trail opened in the 

near future,” said Dooley. “The 

over-water portion of the boardwalk 

is more complicated and is 

going to require extensive work 

which they have slotted to begin 

in October with the goal to have 

it fully open and operational by 

next spring.” The timeline is 

pending additional engineering 

and environmental reviews,

Goodman Eye Medical & Surgical Center 

Receives 2016 Best Of Milford Award 

Glen K. Goodman, M.D., F.A.C.S., Director and President of the Goodman Eye Medical 

& Surgical Center, is pleased to announce that his practice has been selected for the 

2016 Best of Milford Award in the Doctors category by the Milford Award Program. 

The Milford Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements 

and accomplishments of local physicians throughout the Milford area. Recognition 

is given to those physicians who have shown the ability to use best practices and 

implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value to 

their patients. 

Each year, the Milford Award Program identifies physicians whom have achieved 

exceptional success in their local community. These are local physicians whom 

enhance the positive image of small businesses throughout their service area to their 

patients and to their community. These exceptional recipients help make the Milford 

area a great place to live, work and play. 

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the recipients. 

The 2016 Milford Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are 

determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Milford Award 

Program and by data provided by third parties. 

The Goodman Eye Medical & Surgical Center is about to celebrate it’s 7th year at its 

145 West Street location. Dr. Goodman, a Wrentham native and current resident, is very 

proud of the accomplishments achieved during this time. The Cataract Surgery Center 

of Milford, our associated surgery center, is the only full service, Medicare certified, 

ophthalmology surgical center in the area.

deavor is different because it does 

not separate artists by ability. 

“The nice thing is that we’re 

not saying, ‘you’re an artist with 

developmental disabilities so 

you’re going to exhibit here,’ 

while someone without those disabilities 

will exhibit somewhere 

else. It’s drawing us all together,” 

said Pino. 

The Brave Arts Initiative includes 

KP honors art students, 

who work with the center’s residents 

in a class taught by Pino. 

The class, called Art in the Park, 

explores fine art materials, both 

sculpture and painting, and how 

they transform indoor and outdoor 

spaces. 

The act of collaborating on 

artwork can be daunting, said 

Pino. “I think there is something 

very brave about art,” she says. 

“It takes a lot of courage to express 

who you are and let it out, 

especially collaboratively.” 

Working together, she believes, 

is essentially a way to communicate 

as well as a way to experience 

artistic expression. 

“If you have a piece of artwork 

and you’re working on it together 

and one person works on 

it, and then another person works 

on it, that’s a beautiful conversation,” 

said Pino. 

Shannon Cress, the faculty 

advisor for KP’s National Art 

Honor Society, said her students 

had been looking for opportunities 

to use their artistic talents in 

the community. A peer-coaching 

program in the high school’s 

art classes “has brought about 

beautiful friendships culminating 

in authentic art experiences 

regardless of ability levels,” she 

explained. It seemed a natural 

progression to extend the idea to 

the Wrentham Developmental 

Center, she added. 

Cress said the initial group 

of KP students collaborating at 

the center included Rylie Dalzell, 

James Gately, Julia Govoni, 

Heather Richard, Olivia Sottile, 

and Rachel Stephens. Gately, 

KP’s student liaison to the Wrentham 

Cultural Council, helped 

facilitate the project. 

Relics Reimagined was truly 

a collaborative effort, celebrating 

the new sculpture garden in the 

courtyard as well as the talents of 

myriad people. 

The courtyard, in need of a 

facelift, had been renovated by 

Eagle Scout candidate Karlan 

Dewitt and his Troop. The boys

widened the walkways to make 

them wheel-chair accessible, installed 

benches, and added plantings. 

The Boy Scouts, said Pino, 

have embraced the project. Local 

Girl Scouts also provided plants 

to help beautify the area. 

Even the center’s staff took 

part in Relics Reimagined. 

“We elicited participation 

from every discipline at the center,” 

said Pino. A groundskeeper 

created a sculpture from old 

shovels, and staff donated ancient 

keys, tiles and film reels that were 

turned into sculptures. One of 

the center’s plumbers created a 

fountain for the courtyard. 

“We have this great old facility 

here with all these relics around, 

and a historical element is reemerging,” 

said Pino of the 

exhibit. “I love the idea of repurposing 

those relics.” 

She added that other residents 

of the center not involved in creating 

artwork are learning various 

skills involved in implementing an 

art show, such as making flyers 

and acting as greeters to guests, 

with the help of the center’s vocational 

services. 

“It’s really an incredible group 

effort,” said Pino. “There is probably 

no department here that 

hasn’t contributed in some way.” 

According to Donna Arcaro, 

the director of the center’s recreational 

and vocational services, 

“We have a lot of talented staff 

and this sort of thing brings that 

out. It enriches the whole environment.” 

Finding common ground in 

art has been especially motivating 

for Pino. An artist herself, 

Pino has taught classes at the Attleboro 

Art Museum and at afterschool 

programs in the area. She 

has been working at the Wrentham 

Developmental Center 

since 1989, and admits to being 

re-energized by the Brave Arts 

Initiative, as well as by her former 

mentor, Andrea Tooker, who 

passed away in 2014. Tooker, a 

volunteer at the center, inspired 

Pino by her devotion and advocacy 

for the center’s residents. 

“Her core mission was about 

mutual respect, mutual benefit, 

collaboration, and working 

towards a greater good in the 

community by bringing people 

together. She understood that 

individuals with intellectual disabilities 

were valued members of 

the community, and had as much 

to give as anyone else.” 

Added Pino, “I think there 

is a lot of mystery surrounding 

this place. Wrentham is a vibrant 

community and we are a part of 

that vibrant community. There’s 

so much creativity and energy 

here. There’s a lot of beauty like 

you would find anywhere. Individuals 

with intellectual disabilities 

have challenges like everyone, 

and we try to meet those challenges 

with innovative programs 

and creativity.” 

The residents, she said, take 

great pride in their work for the 

Brave Arts Initiative, and are 

looking forward to sharing their 

artwork with the community at 

the other exhibits, too. Pino believes 

both the center’s artists and 

the local artists working with them 

have benefited from this program 

and the sharing of ideas. 

“There’s something that happens 

when you collaborate where 

you have to let go of your ego a 

little bit and let someone else steer 

for a while,” said Pino. “Next, it’s 

your turn to stir. Then you get 

this energy that builds from that. 

It’s really about making something 

together. I think it can be 

very powerful. It could be a great 

model for other programs in the 

state.” 

Added Pino, “The synergy 

that has been created and building 

around this project has been 

fun. I feel good about the kind of 

meaningful integration that is occurring. 

It’s just such a really positive 

thing for everybody.”

added Dooley. 

The iconic structure is wellknown 

among local outdoor 

enthusiasts and in the Mass 

Audubon system, not only as the 

means to the marsh-viewing platform, 

but also as 

a destination itself. 

“It’s what we 

think of when we 

think of Stony 

Brook,” agreed 

Williams. 

The boardwalk 

is also important, 

said 

Williams, to a 

broader group 

of people. 

“A couple of 

years ago, someone 

spotted a 

rare bird from 

the boardwalk… 

a purple gallinule,” recounted 

Williams. “There were people 

coming up from New Jersey to 

see that bird. The boardwalk is 

a well-recognized and significant 

resource for people from all over.” 

In the short-term, Stony 

Brook’s numerous summer programs 

and camps will be impacted. 

Williams said his staff 

has already started making 

changes and modifications to the 

programs, many of which are 

popular with hundreds of area 

children. 

There are a couple of silver 

linings to the 

temporary loss 

of the boardwalk, 

said Williams. 

He leads 

an early-morning 

bird watching 

program 

at the nature 

center from 

March to June, 

and has had 

to revise his 

walk through 

the trails and 

find alternative 

viewing spots 

along the wetlands. 

“Much to my surprise is the 

fact that I’m not seeing a change 

in the species of birds that we’re 

finding,” explained Williams. 

“And what that tells me is that 

while I may not have unrestrained 

access via the boardwalk 

to the wetlands, it’s causing me

to rediscover these places I have 

always walked past on my way to 

the boardwalk that offer good access 

to see birds. It’s forced me to 

recognize there are a lot of other 

places that provide wonderful 

access to the wetlands that I’ve 

skipped over because the boardwalk 

was there.” 

Stony Brook’s director is also 

using the opportunity to solicit 

feedback from users of the boardwalk 

about possible changes during 

reconstruction. “If the state’s 

going to come in and revise the 

boardwalk, this is our opportunity 

to say we wish we had this 

or that. We want to make sure we 

have access to the water for our 

programs, but beyond that I really 

want feedback from people,” 

said Williams. Possibilities include 

a different size viewing deck, or a 

layout in a different direction, he 

added. 

“My goal is to have people 

think about how they use the 

boardwalk and share it with us.”

Middle School Raises 

Money for Cancer 

Seventh graders at King Philip 

Middle School recently raised 

$10,371.38 for the children of 

St. Jude Children’s Research 

Hospital by participating in a 

Math-A-Thon. Every seventh 

grader completed the 250 problems 

in the Math-A-Thon booklet, 

and 190 of the students also 

collected sponsors. The money 

raised will help St. Jude in its 

ongoing fight against childhood 

catastrophic diseases. Much of 

the work done by St. Jude supports 

children with cancer and 

their families. 

The top five fundraisers 

from KPMS were Luke Morreale 

($500); Emma Garabedian 

($370); Lillian Carlow ($320); 

Mackenzie Manning ($300); and

Antiquarian Book Event to be 

Held at Norfolk’s Senior Center 

The value of an antiquarian or 

rare book is determined by a variety 

of factors including its condition, 

binding, provenance, scarcity, 

the presence of inscriptions, and 

whether a first edition or not. The 

evaluation of documents, including 

letters and signatures of wellknown 

people, involves still other 

considerations. 

Ken Gloss, book antiquarian 

and owner of the world-famous 

Brattle Book Shop in Boston (one 

of the oldest antiquarian book 

stores in the country), will be giving 

a special lecture on rare books 

followed by book and document 

appraisals on Tuesday, June 7 at 

6:30 p.m. at the Norfolk Senior 

Center. Known for his appearances 

on the PBS show “Antiques 

Roadshow,” his popular presentations 

are filled with anecdotes as 

well as examples of books and 

ephemera he has acquired over a 

span of many years. 

Mark your calendar to attend 

this free program as both participants 

and observers are welcome 

to attend. Items are limited to 

two per person for a free evaluation 

and appraisal. In addition 

to old books, documents (e.g., 

autographed materials, maps, 

magazines, calendars, posters, 

pamphlets, broadsides, and other 

ephemerae) will also be appraised 

by Mr. Gloss. 

Due to the generous support of 

the Friends of the Norfolk Council 

on Aging, wine and hors d’oeuvres 

will be served. The Norfolk Senior 

Center (508-528-4430) is located 

at 28 Medway Branch Road and

What to Do If You Haven’t Filed an Income Tax Return 

Filing a past due return may 

not be as difficult as you think. 

Taxpayers should file all tax 

returns that are due, regardless 

of whether full payment can be 

made with the return. Depending 

on an individual’s circumstances, 

a taxpayer filing late may qualify 

for a payment plan. It is important, 

however, to know that full 

payment of taxes upfront saves 

you money.

There are several different 

ways to make a payment on your 

taxes. Payments can be made 

by credit card, electronic funds 

transfer, check, money order, cashier’s 

check, or cash. 

Payment Options - For Those 

Who Can’t Pay in Full 

Taxpayers unable to pay all 

taxes due on the bill are encouraged 

to pay as much as possible. 

By paying as much as possible 

now, the amount of interest and 

penalties owed will be lessened. 

Based on the circumstances, a 

taxpayer could qualify for an extension 

of time to pay, an installment 

agreement, a temporary 

delay, or an offer in compromise. 

Taxpayers who need more 

time to pay can set up either a 

short-term payment extension or 

a monthly payment plan. 

• A short-term extension gives a 

taxpayer up to 120 days to pay. 

No fee is charged, but the latepayment 

penalty plus interest 

will apply. 

• A monthly payment plan or 

installment agreement gives

a taxpayer more time to pay. 

However, penalties and interest 

will continue to be charged on 

the unpaid portion of the debt 

throughout the duration of the 

installment agreement/payment 

plan. In terms of how to 

pay your tax bill, it is important 

to review all your options; the 

interest rate on a loan or credit 

card may be lower than the 

combination of penalties and 

interest imposed by the Internal 

Revenue Code. You should pay 

as much as possible before entering 

into an installment agreement. 

• A user fee will also be charged 

if the installment agreement is 

approved. The fee, normally 

$105, is reduced to $52 if taxpayers 

agree to make their 

monthly payments electronically 

through electronic funds 

withdrawal. The fee is $43 for 

eligible low-and-moderate-income 

taxpayers.

Guest Column 

King Philip in Spain 

By Will Linde, 

Editor of the KP Metacomet 

This past April vacation, 42 

King Philip students traveled to 

Spain to experience a once-in-alifetime 

trip with their peers. Upon 

landing in Barcelona, my classmates 

and I began to explore La 

Rambla, a beautiful street in Barcelona’s 

Gothic Quarter that features 

a plethora of high-class stores 

and local artisans. The culture 

shock was instant, but invigorating. 

Signs and directions were all 

in Spanish and Catalan, and there 

were new and different sights, 

sounds, and smells all around; but 

when given the chance to roam 

the streets, I didn’t really feel out 

of place. For my peers and me, it 

was wonderful to finally be in the 

native country of the language 

we have studied and practiced so 

much. We were able to navigate 

ourselves, converse with locals in 

Spanish, and view world-famous 

sights all within a few hours of our 

arrival. 

In Barcelona, we also walked 

through centuries-old churches, 

ventured through diverse and 

beautiful food markets, beheld 

an excavated marketplace, drove 

by an Olympic Stadium,visited 

Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona; 

and we sampled delicious 

tapas, paella, and pinchos, staples 

of the local Spanish cuisine. In one 

surprising coincidence, while asking 

a Catalonian for directions in 

Spanish, we learned that she had a 

granddaughter in Boston! Despite

being thousands of miles away 

from home, we still met someone 

who had connections to where we 

were from. This unexpected happenstance 

reminded me that even 

in the vastness of our world, all 

people are interconnected through 

some means. 

After a chance encounter that 

brought us close to home, we 

toured two of Barcelona’s most renowned 

locations, Park Güell and 

La Sagrada Familia. Park Güell 

was constructed by Spanish architect 

Antoni Gaudí to build a close, 

elite community within the city of 

Barcelona. While the project was 

never fully actualized, the curvy, 

mosaic bench built to facilitate conversation 

and filter rainwater was 

completed. As Spanish students, 

my classmates and I have seen 

pictures of this legendary bench 

for years, and just to be able to sit 

on it was really quite incredible. 

Gaudí also began construction on 

La Sagrada Familia; an elaborate 

and enormous church over one 

hundred years in the making. The 

church is slated for completion 

in 2026, the 100 th anniversary of 

Guadí’s death, and I aim to make 

a return trip to see the final vision 

of the church. The intricacies and 

execution of Guadí’s plans left my 

peers and me awestruck, just like 

our entire time in Barcelona. 

Halfway through our trip, we 

took a three hour train ride to Madrid, 

the capital of Spain. After a 

quick lunch, we visited El Prado, 

one of Spain’s most famous museums. 

Inside, we bore witness to 

works by the likes of Goya, Velasquez, 

El Greco, Sorolla, Caravaggio, 

and Raphael. The next day at 

La Reina Sofía, we also saw paintings 

by Dalí and Picasso’s masterpiece, 

Guernica. It was almost 

surreal to see the paintings we had 

seen in books in school, in person. 

Madrid brought many more good 

times and fascinating sights including 

a flamenco lesson and performance, 

a refugee rights protest, the 

Royal Palace of Spain, and tastes 

of gelato and churros. On our final 

day in Spain, the group traveled 

outside of Madrid to the Toledo – 

a city home to harmony between 

Christians, Jews, and Muslims for 

hundreds of years and to one of 

the most stunning vistas I have 

ever seen. After another walking 

tour of Madrid, just like that, our

time in Spain came to an end. 

One of the most amazing aspects 

of the trip was how much 

bonding occurred between the 

students on the trip. I grew closer 

to my already-best friends, but I 

also met a whole new group of 

people with whom I shared some 

of the most special experiences of 

my life. Travel not only immersed 

my classmates and me so fully into 

another culture; it also pushed us 

to learn more about each other. 

This trip to Spain, my first experience 

abroad, showed me how

much the world has to offer all of 

us – people, history, nature, food, 

art, culture. As I go off to study International 

Politics at Georgetown 

University, I hope to continue 

my travels to broaden my worldview 

and engage myself in other 

cultures, or maybe even return to 

Spain and better acquaint myself 

with the country’s unique traditions 

and people. 

A big thank you to all of the 

parents and teachers who made 

this trip possible!

A Visit to Norfolk, Home of Puritan Ancestors 

The Norfolk Historical Commission 

welcomed a visitor from 

Alberta, Canada on April 26 and 

27. David Blake Miller came to 

Norfolk to view where his ancestors 

had settled in 1686, after they 

migrated from England to the 

Massachusetts Bay Colony. The 

Historical Commission escorted 

Mr. Miller during his visit to the 

sites related to his family. 

The first Blakes--John and his 

wife Bridget--arrived after King 

Philip’s War was over. John purchased 

most of the holdings of 

one of the original Wrentham 

Proprietors, William McKiah, 

who is said to have been killed in 

the war. Now part of Norfolk, the 

locations along Stony Brook were 

then called North Wrentham. 

On Tuesday, April 26 the 

Commission escorted Mr. Miller 

on a three-hour auto tour of 

sites related to the Blake Family, 

which followed a route along 

Union Street, Diamond Street, 

North Street, Needham Street, 

Seekonk Street, Campbell Street, 

and Main Street. Historical 

Commission member Barbara 

Bartholomew narrated the history 

and background at each of 

the 15 sites. 

Some of the highlights included 

a stop at Slate Rock at the 

corner of Diamond and North 

Streets, where John Blake built

Section of the Norfolk 

Cemetery at the corner 

of Main and Seekonk 

Streets; and the stone 

ruins of the forge/ 

blacksmith shop that 

James Blake Jr., built in 

1747 behind the Morse 

House at 18 Campbell 

Street. 

On Wednesday, 

April 27 Historical 

Commission Chairman 

Betsy Pyne gave a 

descriptive tour of the 

Solomon Blake House 

at 97 North Street to 

Mr. Miller and members 

of the Historical Commission. 

Solomon built the house 

in 1761 across from the sawmill 

he operated on Stony Brook. 

This was followed by a tour of 

the Mass Audubon Stony Brook 

Nature Center and Bristol Blake 

State Reservation, conducted by 

Doug Williams, the director of 

Stony Brook. 

Solomon Blake House at 97 North Street. 

David Blake Miller is a direct 

descendant of Moses Blake, 

who was born here in 1726 and 

the son of James Blake and Ann 

(Bullard), as well as the grandson 

of John Blake and older brother 

of Solomon Blake. Moses Blake 

migrated to Rehoboth in the 

1750s and made it his home. His 

sons, David and Simeon, joined 

General Rufus Putnam’s Ohio 

Company in 1789 and journeyed 

west to be among the first settlers 

of Marietta, Ohio. Dave Miller’s 

cousin, William Blake of Delaware, 

Ohio visited Wrentham in 

September of 2007, which inspired 

David to make his current 

trip to see for himself where his 

family first settled in America.


Premium Veterinary Service Right at your Door 

No time for veterinary visits? 

Pets anxious riding in the car? 

Tired of waiting in crowded waiting 

rooms? Dr. Michael Gerber, a 

Massachusetts licensed veterinarian, 

of Pawsitively Mobile Veterinary 

Services can eliminate 

the stress of those veterinary visits 

with just one phone call. Pets will 

receive stress-free exams and their 

owners a new patient 15% discount! 

Dr. Gerber founded Pawsitively 

Mobile Veterinary Services 

in early 2016 and began 

seeing patients in his brand new 

custom-built, 28-foot mobile veterinary 

clinic. Together with his 

state-of-the-art mobile clinic, and 

his exceptional veterinary education 

and training, Dr. Gerber’s 

four-legged patients receive the 

best personalized care in the area 

within the comforts of their home. 

Dr. Gerber graduated from 

Western University of Health 

Services with his veterinary degree 

in 2010, and was accepted 

into a highly coveted, advanced, 

post-graduate internship in medicine 

and surgery at the prestigious 

Animal Medical Center in Manhattan’s 

Upper East Side. During 

the 13-month intense training 

program, working alongside some 

of the most respected and talented 

veterinary specialists in the 

nation, he gained valuable knowledge 

and experience in several 

veterinary specialties, including, 

internal medicine, surgery, neurology, 

cardiology, ophthalmology, 

radiology, dentistry, oncology and 

emergency/critical care. Within 

a staff of 100 veterinarians that 

is comprised of intern doctors, 

resident doctors and staff specialists, 

The Animal Medical Center 

is one of the largest private, small 

animal teaching/referral hospitals 

in the country. Founded in 1910, 

it is also one of the oldest. The 

Animal Medical Center has a 

very large case load which affords 

its veterinarians the opportunities 

to experience a very wide array 

of both complicated, routine 

and unusual cases. Completing 

a year-long internship at the Animal 

Medical Center is equivalent 

to at least five years of experience 

in general practice. 

With his mobile veterinary 

service and diverse medical background, 

Dr. Gerber is able to provide 

virtually any service offered 

at a traditional brick and mortar 

veterinary facility. Those diverse 

services include the following: 

• Routine wellness care (including 

vaccines) 

• Sick visits 

• Lab work, including heartworm 

and tick screening, full 

chemistry and CBC, urinalysis 

• Fecal testing 

• Microchipping 

• Dentistry 

• X-rays 

• Surgery 

• In-house/point of care labs/ 

diagnostics 

• Hospice care 

• Euthanasia 

• International and domestic 

health certificates 

While Dr. Gerber initially considered 

a career as a specialist in 

emergency and critical care (E/ 

CC), a specialty he found both 

challenging and rewarding at 

AMC, there was a facet of E/CC 

that didn't completely fit with his 

long-term, animal care goal aspirations. 

"I liked the complexity of the 

cases and the adrenaline surge of 

triaging emergencies, but I wanted 

to get to know and see a pet not 

only in crisis, but during good 

times as well," Dr. Gerber said. 

"And getting to know the people 

and form lasting relationships with 

them… that is something you really 

don’t get as a critical care specialist." 

After graduating from the intern 

program at AMC in July 

2011, Dr. Gerber worked in both 

emergency/specialty referral hospitals 

as well as in general practices. 

When designing his truck, he 

drew on his experience at AMC 

working with the latest medical

equipment and personally handpicked 

every piece of equipment 

in his clinic to accommodate all 

pets and potential conditions. 

With those advanced tools and his 

extensive veterinary background, 

he now looks forward to helping 

animals through all stages of their 

good health. 

"My experience and training 

allow me to problem solve cases 

at a higher level," Dr. Gerber said. 

Dr. Gerber's mobile practice 

also allows him the flexibility to 

give back to the community and 

homeless pets. Once a week, he 

travels to the Norwood Petco and 

performs cat examinations at the 

Bay State Animal Cooperative, an 

all-volunteer cat rescue organization. 

Pawsitively Mobile Veterinary 

Services’ clients will find rates 

similar to fixed-location veterinary 

practices (with an additional 

travel fee) and will receive the personalized 

service that can only be 

found through a concierge service. 

An average house call is approximately 

one hour and pets will 

receive a complete examination 

within the comforts of their own 

home by Dr. Gerber and his certified 

veterinary technician, Tim 

Levesque. To learn more about

Kitchen Cabinet Selection 101 

Nancy Werneken 

Lead Designer at Masters Touch Design Build 

1. Custom or Manufactured 

– This is your first decision when 

selecting cabinets. There are pros 

and cons with both. Custom cabinets 

are typically the more expensive 

choice (however, not always so 

some homework may be needed 

here), but will better utilize the 

space available and you can control 

the details and enhancements 

more. Also, a custom finish will 

have more personality; more of a 

human touch than a factory finish. 

However, a factory finish will 

last longer in most cases and some 

cabinet manufacturers offer so 

many modifications, that it is easier 

today to achieve a more custom 

look with manufactured cabinets 

than in the past. Fillers are still a 

necessary evil with manufactured 

cabinets that you can avoid with 

custom, because width options 

are still limited with manufactured 

cabinets. 

2. Species and Finish – This 

topic assumes you are using wood 

– cabinets can be made from other 

materials too: laminate and Thermofoil 

are two materials used for 

cabinets that are not wood. These 

use different manufacturing methods 

to make the cabinet look like 

wood yet is more durable and 

resistant to humidity, nicks and 

scratches. We typically reserve 

these two types of cabinets for 

more commercial uses or more 

industrial areas of the home. By 

far, the vast majority of cabinets in 

residential kitchens in New England 

today are wood. The three 

most common species of hard 

wood used in kitchen cabinets are: 

cherry, maple and oak. They all 

have distinctively different appearances. 

Cherry is naturally darker 

with a dense, smooth grain. Maple 

is very light with a similar, dense 

smooth grain and oak is a medium 

color tone with a definite open 

grain that can also be felt on the 

surface. Cherry tends to cost more 

than the other two and develops a 

deeper, redder coloring with age 

which is very beautiful, so staining 

cherry is the most popular method 

of finishing this species. Maple is 

also beautiful and stains evenly. It 

will age to a deeper pinky-golden 

yellow to orange tone which is 

beautiful, but not as rich as cherry. 

Maple is also popular to paint 

because it is priced well and the 

grain is hidden within the surface, 

resulting in a smooth, painted finish. 

When making these decisions, 

keep in mind that painted finishes 

come with an upcharge, whether 

you are going custom or manufactured. 

Oak is less popular than 

maple or cherry but can be used 

to create a more traditional look 

or in other ways, such as combining 

with a modern door style 

and painted so the grain shows 

through to create a more unique, 

updated look. The number of 

stain and paint colors, combined 

with many glaze colors (and distressing 

options) make the choices 

overwhelming - your kitchen designer 

will help to narrow this 

down and show you samples of all 

of the possibilities! 

3. Frame style – Full overlay, 

partial overlay or inset: full overlay 

is where the door covers the face 

frame (leaving only ¼” reveal for 

door/drawer operation) like the 

European style. Partial overlay is 

where the face frame is exposed 

by at least an inch around the 

door/drawer. Inset is where the 

door is actually inset within the 

face frame. Full overlay is very 

popular and can be used to create 

more contemporary looks but 

can be used to create a traditional 

style kitchen as well (depending 

on the door style and finish 

selected). Inset is typically used 

to create a shaker, farmhouse or 

more traditional look, but can be 

paired with a modern door style 

for a fresh, updated look. Generally, 

inset is more expensive than 

the other two frame styles. 

4. Door Style – Once you have 

decided on species, color and 

frame style, the door style is an 

important decision: it will set the 

style for the kitchen and also can 

significantly affect pricing. Some 

general guidelines: flat profile, 

shaker and flat center panel doors 

create a more contemporary, classic 

or transitional style. Raised 

panel doors are used to create traditional 

style kitchens. Of course, 

molding styles, hardware and 

other embellishments further contribute 

to the specific style you are 

going for. Also consider the drawer 

heads: some will come flat or plain 

and some will come as a fivepiece 

unit to match the door. This 

choice will also contribute to the 

look you are trying to achieve, as 

well as price. 

5. Color – This is where your 

designer can really help: many 

combinations are commonly used 

to create that specific look you are 

trying to achieve. Often the island 

is done in a different color or different 

door style and color. Or, 

you can use one color for the base 

cabinets and another for the wall 

cabinets, stain one section and 

paint another, change countertop 

materials, change colors and countertops, 

the options are endless! Be 

sure to look at plenty of pictures 

and ask plenty of questions during 

the process. 

Choosing the right cabinet can 

be daunting or it can be simplified 

if you follow these five selection 

steps!

It May Be the Flu, But It May 

Be Lyme Disease 

Lyme Disease often goes undiagnosed 

as the symptoms often 

mimic the flu. When symptoms 

last several weeks, those signs 

should be followed up with a 

blood test. Lyme Disease is typically 

treated with doxycycline. 

This antibiotic, however, is not 

always effective, especially with 

the many co-infections of Lyme, 

such as Borellia, Bartonella, 

Babesia, Rickettsia and Rocky 

Mountain Spotted Fever. 

According to the Center for 

Disease Control (CDC), an estimated 

300,000 Americans are 

diagnosed with Lyme Disease 

each year, and the numbers are 

rising. Although it is believed that 

Lyme is a result of a tick bite, the 

infectious bacteria can be spread 

by other biting or blood-sucking 

insects, including mosquitoes, spiders, 

fleas and mites. 

Common effects of tick bites 

include an itchy “bull’s-eye,” but 

this rash only occurs in about

half of those infected. Other 

symptoms include unrelenting fatigue, 

recurring fever, headaches/ 

migraines and achy muscles and 

joints. 

For six years Pauline suffered 

with various ailments, including 

muscle aches, joint pains, brain 

fog, extreme fatigue and unrelenting 

headaches. Her primary 

care physician diagnosed Lyme 

Disease, prescribed doxycycline, 

and notified her several weeks 

later she was successfully treated 

for Lyme. An appointment with 

a Rheumatologist for her “arthritic” 

condition resulted in a 

prescription for antidepressants, 

a side effect of dealing with the 

pain. Pauline felt her life was 

slowly slipping away. A referral 

to the Holistic Center at Bristol 

Square set her on a new path. At 

the center Pauline was diagnosed 

with Bartonella, a co-infection of 

Lyme, and was treated homeopathically 

for the strain as well 

as for her other related health issues. 

Within three months, Pauline’s 

life started to return. Today, 

she is virtually symptom free and 

enjoying her life free of pain and 

fatigue. 

If you suffer from Lyme Disease, 

don’t delay, call the Holistic 

Center at Bristol Square today

with a number of local 

organizations are in the final

Enjoy the food, games and 

fun all sponsored by various local 

groups. Many local organizations 

are selling baked goods to 

raise funds, as well as providing 

literature about their groups. It’s 

a great day for everyone to get together 

and celebrate Norfolk. 

In addition, food pantry supplies 

are at their lowest during 

the summer months, so to help 

alleviate this problem, the Lions 

are running a food drive at Community 

Day. The goal is to Stuff- 

A-Truck full of food to be shared 

between the Norfolk and Franklin 

food pantries. Some of the items 

currently needed are jelly, maple 

syrup, hamburger/tuna helper, 

mayonnaise, tooth paste and 

hand soap. 

The Norfolk Lions could not 

undertake this fun event without 

the wide-spread assistance of all 

those who volunteer their funds, 

materials and time. The Lions 

would like to thank the Norfolk

Step Outside to Walk or Run 

Contributed by 

John Vacovec, Physical 

Therapist and CEO of 

Physical Therapy and Sports 

Rehab, Inc. 

People enjoy walking or running 

for a number of reasons. 

For many, it’s a simple form of 

exercise. For some, it’s about ‘the 

freedom of the road’ and 

‘being one with nature’, 

while others find it an effective 

way to decrease 

stress. 

Walking or running 

helps condition the body 

and improves blood circulation. 

Regular walking 

is associated with a 

healthier heart and a 

greater sense of wellbeing. 

For those who like 

to run, the right running 

technique combined with 

appropriate footwear 

helps minimize injuries. 

The Mechanics of Motion 

With the proper walking and 

running technique, you can avoid 

injury and improve endurance. 

Here are a few things to consider: 

1. The right degree of flexion 

in your knees and elbows is 

important to reduce strain on 

your joints. 

2. Posture is important. In fact, 

your entire technique is dependent 

upon your posture for efficiency 

and safety. 

3. An appropriate range of motion 

helps minimize injuries 

and improve running technique. 

4. Proper stride length is an important 

aspect of efficiency 

and injury prevention. 

5. Proper rhythm will help minimize 

injury by eliminating 

unnecessary overuse of your 

muscles. 

6. Coordination between upper 

and lower body is an important 

aspect of running technique. 

Each of these components 

plays a vital role in running technique. 

As you progress with each 

component, expect an improvement 

in strength, efficiency, distance 

and possibly speed. 

Injury Prevention with 

Physical Therapy 

A physical therapist can identify 

muscle imbalances and improper 

joint alignments. The 

physical therapist will conduct 

a detailed evaluation, which includes 

an analysis of gait, foot 

alignment, upper body strength, 

hip alignment and spine alignment. 

With an adjustment of running 

technique and 

correction of muscle 

imbalances, the therapist 

will get you on your 

feet so that you can 

walk (and possibly run) 

if your body allows it. 

The best thing for 

you to do right now is 

call for an evaluation 

of your movement patterns 

before you start 

a walking or running 

program. We can also 

create a rehabilitation 

program if you are currently 

experiencing any discomfort 

while walking or running. 

Your body deserves the right kind 

of care. Call us directly and if 

treatments are necessary, we can 

coordinate with your MD. Your 

recovery is our expertise! 

Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab 

Inc. has 3 convenient locations to serve 

you! Call (781) 769-2040 to schedule 

an appointment at our Norwood 

clinic, our Norfolk/Wrentham clinic or

Lasers and the Eye 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Lasers can be very useful in 

treating many eye problems. From 

helping patients eliminate the 

need for glasses to cosmetic procedures 

of the eyelids, lasers have 

been very valuable in performing 

bladeless eye surgery while producing 

precise and safe outcomes. 

The world of eye surgery was 

revolutionized when in 1946, a 

German Ophthalmologist used 

the first laser to treat the retina. 

Laser is light amplified by stimulated 

emission of radiation. This 

produces photons acting in synchrony, 

with high power and precision. 

Health Risks from the Use 

of Laser Pointers 

Lasers can be very helpful as 

a bladeless surgical device, but a 

note of caution: Laser pointers 

in hand-held, pen-like devices 

that project a beam of laser light 

are rapidly replacing the traditional 

wooden pointers used by 

lecturers during presentations. 

However, these pointers can be 

misused, for example, by students 

in classrooms or by children at 

home, and this has generated 

safety concerns. There have been 

reports of temporary blindness, 

disorientation and headaches by 

bus drivers, airline pilots, police 

and teachers. Manufacturers are 

now using similar low powered 

laser devices in toys. Never look 

at a laser pointer and never point 

it at someone. Serious eye injury 

(sometimes permanent) can result. 

Laser Use in Diabetes 

In some cases of diabetic eye 

disease, small blebs can form on 

the blood vessels of the retina. 

These can later cause bleeding 

and blurry vision. An Argon 

Laser can be helpful in treating 

these blebs. The same laser can 

treat the entire retina in a scatter 

fashion when more proliferation 

of abnormal blood vessels is 

noted. 

Laser Use in Glaucoma 

The laser can be used in a focused 

beam of light to treat the 

drainage angle of the eye. This 

surgery makes it easier for fluid to 

flow out of the front part of the 

eye, decreasing pressure in the 

eye. Two types of laser eye surgery 

exist to open up the drainage 

angle of the eye: Argon laser 

trabeculoplasty and selective laser 

trabeculoplasty. 

Laser Use in After 

Cataract Surgery 

The lens capsule is the thin 

bag that holds the intraocular lens 

implant in position after cataract 

surgery. This capsule becomes 

clouded in about 25% of cataract 

surgery patients. This causes 

blurry vision and is also known as 

secondary cataract. A YAG laser 

can create a small opening in the 

center of the capsule, allowing 

light to enter the eye through a 

central clear area. The procedure 

is painless, requires no anesthesia, 

and has very little risk. 

Laser Use in Laser Vision 

Correction 

An excimer laser can be used 

to correct a variety of refractive 

errors of the eye, from nearsightedness 

to farsightedness and 

astigmatism. This type of laser is 

extremely precise. It creates targeted 

removal of tissue to reshape 

the cornea, which reorients the 

light in the correct place inside 

the eye.

as blepharoplasty, is designed to 

rejuvenate baggy or droopy eyelids 

and to restore youthful eyes. 

The laser provides excellent precision 

for this procedure. Since 

the laser seals small blood vessels, 

there is very little bleeding during 

surgery. As a result, bruising and 

swelling are kept to a minimum 

and recovery is fast. 

Laser Use in Macular 

Degeneration 

In selected cases of wet macular 

degeneration, a photodynamic 

procedure can be helpful: A laser 

in combination of a light-sensitive 

medicine target the abnormal 

bleeding blood vessels to block 

them. 

Laser Use in Cataract Surgery 

The laser has revolutionized 

cataract surgery, allowing for a 

completely blade-free procedure. 

In addition to producing precise 

cuts needed for surgery, the laser 

used in bladeless cataract surgery 

breaks up and softens the cloudy 

cataract so there is less ultrasound 

needed to remove the cataract. 

Less ultrasound delivered inside 

the eye translates into less energy 

used in the eye and clearer corneas, 

which in turn help producing 

better vision on the first day 

after the surgery. The same laser 

is able to treat astigmatism during

Cruising To a Successful 

Weight Loss 

New England Fat Loss Client Clocks Many Miles to Achieve His Goal 

East Wareham resident Jeff 

Monast admits he was initially 

hesitant to commit to the onehour 

drive to join New England 

Weight Loss (NEFL). Once he 

met Dr. John and the NEFL staff 

and learned about the program, 

however, the commute was a 

minimal factor to achieve his 

weight loss goals. 

“When I first heard it was so 

far away, I thought, ‘That really 

stinks,’ but after my experience, it 

is well worth the drive,” Monast 

said. 

According to forty-two yearold 

Monast, the stimulus to walk 

through that door on April 15 

far outweighed inconvenience. 

He was experiencing lack of energy 

and was intrigued with their 

20-to-40-pounds-lost-in-40-days 

guarantee. 

HAIR TODAY, 

HAIR TODAY, 

GONE 

TOMORROW. 

“I don’t know what clicked in 

my head, but I honestly couldn’t 

recommend it enough,” Monast 

said. “I’ve been fighting my 

weight since I’ve been 10 years 

old, and I honestly did not think 

it would be this easy to lose the 

weight. 

While being interviewed on 

day 23 of his first stage, Monast 

had dropped 34.9 pounds, already 

within reach of that first 

significant goal. The food combinations, 

daily weight reports and 

office visits guided the way, but 

Monast also found Dr. John’s assistance 

invaluable. 

“I knew I would have no time 

to prepare meals during one 

weekend and we went back and 

forth with ideas,” Monast said. 

He is very accessible.” 

Monast is thrilled with his success 

of the Phase 1 portion of 

the program, but is motivated to 

enter the next stage. Through an 

extensive diagnostic process, the 

NEFL team will identify specific 

foods to work with his individual 

body chemistry and trigger additional 

weight loss. 

“Once I get through the 40 

days, they give me a list of my 

personal weight-burning foods 

that are good for my body make 

up,” Monast said. “I’m pretty excited 

to see what they are.” 

From the beginning, nothing 

has come in the way of Monast 

reaching his weight loss goals. 

Not miles, time or commitment. 

His true drive, however, comes 

from his family. 

“This is a lifestyle change not a 

diet, and my number one reason 

is because I have a beautiful wife 

and two beautiful children that 

I want to be around a long time 

for,” Monast said. 

Your journey can begin today!

Beach. The lessons run in two 

week sessions, Monday through 

Thursdays, from June to August. 

Registration forms can be found 

on the Wrentham town website. 

Class sizes are limited, but there 

are several different sessions available. 

The schedule is likely to 

change depending on enrollment 

numbers and interest. 

Weather permitting, the beach 

will open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 

p.m. Daily fees are $5 for adults 

and $3 for children, for residents 

and non-residents. Seasonal 

family passes are also available.

FPAC Presents Killer Comedy 

Musical Little Shop of Horrors 

Franklin Performing Arts 

Company (FPAC) presents the 

sci-fi smash musical Little Shop of 

Horrors on Friday, June 10 and 

Saturday, June 11. Performances 

are at 7:30 p.m. at THE BLACK 

BOX, FPAC’s home and theater 

located at 15 West Central Street 

in downtown Franklin. 

With book and lyrics by Howard 

Ashman and music by Alan 

Menken, the popular comic rock 

musical delivers an uproariously 

good time. With catchy, early 

Motown-inspired tunes and a 

basics such as money management, 

saving and investing and 

wise use of credit are taught early. 

For the twelfth year, Youthweek 

highlighted how young people 

earn, spend, save and manage 

their own money. Norfolk Credit 

Union encouraged the children 

to open an account and begin 

saving by offering the children 

free giveaways. 

The three-day free celebration 

was open to the public and 

the “Credit Union Strong” theme 

was celebrated with a festive gym, 

wacky tale, Little Shop of Horrors 

follows a down-and-out skid row 

floral assistant who becomes an 

overnight sensation after discovering 

an exotic plant with a mysterious 

craving for fresh blood. 

Soon “Audrey II” grows into an 

ill-tempered, R&B singing carnivore

the required gym activity 

such as jumping and hopping. 

They all tried to break into the 

play vault by using the correct 

four digit code. Tickets were 

awarded for each activity the 

children participated in and the 

children used the tickets to take 

shows of all time, becoming a cult 

film classic as well.

Senator Ross Officially on the 

Ballot for Re-Election 

Senator Richard J. Ross recently 

submitted the required 

nomination signatures to the office 

of the Secretary of the Commonwealth 

officially putting his 

name on the ballot for re-election 

to the Massachusetts State Senate. 

“It has been an honor serving 

the people of my district for the 

past six years in the Massachusetts 

State Senate. Every day I 

work hard to ensure they have a 

voice on Beacon Hill and across 

the Commonwealth. For six 

years they put their trust in me 

and I humbly ask for their vote 

once again in 2016 so that I may 

continue fighting for them,” said 

Senator Ross. 

In order to have their names 

placed on the ballot, candidates 

for State Senate must have certified 

signatures from 300 registered 

voters in their district. 

Senator Ross had help from a 

number of constituents collecting 

signatures, securing more than 

500 so far. 

“I am immensely grateful for 

the outpouring of support from 

constituents and volunteers to 

help me collect the signatures 

necessary to get on the ballot. 

My district is made up of truly 

incredible people and I am looking 

forward to November,” said 

Senator Ross. 

Senator Richard J. Ross is the 

Assistant Minority Leader of 

the State Senate, representing 

twelve cities and towns across the 

Norfolk, Bristol, and Middlesex 

District. Senator Ross currently 

serves on several key committees 

including the Senate Committee 

on Ways and Means, the Joint 

Committee on the Judiciary, and

Franklin, Bellingham, and Wrentham Relay for Life 

Returns to KP 


The Relay for Life of Franklin, 

Bellingham, and Wrentham 

will take place on Friday, June 

3 at King Philip Regional High 

School. The event, which raises 

money for the American Cancer 

Society, runs from 6 p.m. to 

6 a.m. Teams set up tents, and 

members take turns walking 

around the school’s track through 

the night because “cancer never 

sleeps.” 

The family-friendly event, 

free and open to the public, will 

include activities, themed laps, 

music, food trucks, and more. 

There will be multiple opportunities 

to donate to the American 

Cancer Society during the night. 

The event is all-volunteer run. 

Louise Fonteyne, the New 

England Division’s Community 

Manager for Relay for Life, said 

that as of mid-May, 30 teams had 

registered and over $13,000 dollars 

had been raised. 

This is the second year in a 

row the event will be held at KP. 

According to Franklin resident 

Teresa Fernald, the high school is 

a perfect venue for Relay. 

“We love King Philip,” said 

Fernald, one of the organizers. 

“They are very accommodating. 

The school really participates and 

the students are really involved. 

It’s easy to get on and off the 

field, especially for the survivors.” 

Each year, several traditional 

ceremonies take place at Relay 

for Life. The event begins at 6 

p.m. with an opening ceremony, 

followed by the survivor lap and 

caregiver lap. Survivors are then 

invited into the school for the survivor 

reception. The moving luminaria 

ceremony takes place at 

9 p.m. Bags lining the track are lit 

with glow sticks and then participants 

walk a lap in silence. The 

bags symbolize people fighting 

cancer, and those lost to cancer. 

In 2012, Fernald was diagnosed 

with an aggressive form 

of lymphoma. Her treatment included 

a drug right off a clinical 

trial, and she has been in remission 

for four years. 

“I did extraordinarily well,” 

said Fernald. “So I decided that 

maybe I was given a chance to 

do something for someone else. 

The American Cancer Society 

funds so many clinical trials and 

research. That’s why I put my 

whole heart and soul into Relay. 

I am fighting for every single person 

who comes behind me.” 

Also on the Relay committee 

with Fernald is Cheryl Rowe, the 

Faculty Advisor for KP Cares, a 

Last year’s Relay for Life at KP. 

community service organization. 

KP Cares was started several 

years ago by a student to support 

a teacher at KP Middle School 

who was battling cancer. Since 

then, several KP students 

themselves were diagnosed with 

the disease. 

“It means a lot to have Relay 

at KP again,” said Rowe. “The 

cancer diagnoses here at KP 

really hit hard. It made the kids 

much more aware that cancer 

can hit anybody. They really feel 

impacted by it. They get it.” 

Members of KP Cares, added 

Rowe, helped spearhead the 

drive to bring Relay to the high 

school. Three of KP Cares’ 

board members—students 

Kerry Morgan, Maggie Smith, 

and Krista Cepkauskas—are on 

the Relay for Life committee, 

and attend meetings with 

ACS representatives and other 

organizers. 

Organizers emphasize that 

anyone can come to Relay and 

enjoy the events, walk a lap, and 

participate in the family-friendly 

activities. Themed laps include 

Dr. Seuss, Scrabble, Decades, 

Country, Cotton Eye Joe, and 

Boston Pride. Local band Co- 

Pilot will perform, as well as 

several area dance studios. 

Cancer survivors are 

encouraged to attend the 

survivor reception, with 

food generously donated by 

Commonwealth BBQ, the 

Rome Restaurant, Cole’s 

Tavern, Whole Foods 

Market, PJ’s Bar and Grill, 

and Noodles & Company. 

Floral centerpieces will 

be donated by Moore’s 

Flowers. Survivors 

attending the free dinner 

can register the night of 

the event. 

“Come on down and 

see what we’re about,” 

said Fernald. “There’s 

absolutely no obligation 

to do anything. We are 

really just honoring the survivors 

and remembering those who 

have passed. Anybody can come 

who’s been affected by cancer… 

patients, survivors, caregivers, 

friends and family.” 

To enter a team in Relay or 

to donate, visit www.relayforlife. 

org/franklinma, or register the 

night of the event. There are 

no fundraising minimums, but 

participants who raise $100 

receive a t-shirt. Relay for Life 

is open to the public all night, 

but those under 18 must have 

a chaperone after 11 p.m. For 

more information about the 

event, contact Louise Fonteyne

Net Result: Ricci Excelling For KP Girls Tennis Team 

By Ken Hamwey 

Staff Sports Writer 

Rebecca Ricci is enjoying 

her tennis career at King Philip 

Regional, following the path of 

her mother who not only was 

a highly-skilled player, but also 

competed for current coach Bob 

Goldberg. 

Ricci plays first singles for the 

Warriors, always facing the best 

tennis players in the Hockomock 

League and always aiming to put 

KP in position to triumph. So far, 

the 5-foot-4 junior has a 6-8 record 

and the Warriors are 10-5, 

a record that has earned them a 

berth in the tourney. 

“Playing first singles is very 

competitive,’’ Ricci emphasized. 

“I match up against the best 

player our opponents have. I’m 

not afraid of losing but it is annoying. 

In my role, it’s about taking 

a hit if it helps the rest of our 

team.’’ 

Ricci’s mother, the former 

Rebecca Lewicki, played for KP 

and relied on “blinding speed,’’ 

according to Goldberg. Ricci’s 

mother currently is the women’s 

tennis coach at Providence College. 

“It’s fun playing for the same 

school as my mom did,’’ Ricci 

said. “It’s interesting because we 

share stories about tennis and I’m 

honored to be following in her 

footsteps. I don’t feel any pressure 

succeeding her and it’s neat that 

we’ve played for the same coach.’’ 

Nicknamed “Becca,’’ Ricci 

draws high praise from her coach. 

“She’s a great communicator, 

a top-notch team player and a 

competitor who’s very intense,’’ 

said Goldberg, who’s coached at 

Norfolk’s summer concert series begins 

this month. The concerts are usually 

held Thursday evenings on the town 

hill at 6:30 p.m. 

Rain dates are scheduled for the following 

Monday. Bring a lawn chair and 

a picnic and be sure to enjoy the all-too 

fleeting summer nights. 

KP for 44 years. “In all my years, 

which includes nine coaching at 

Dean College and 35 as a tennis 

ref, I’ve seen only six or seven 

players who hit a two-handed 

forehand and backhand. Becca 

hits effectively with two hands 

from either side and her shots are 

usually well-placed.’’ 

Goldberg is quick to laud Ricci’s 

effort and refers to her 6-8 record 

as commendable. “There’s 

no way we’d be 10-5 if Becca was 

not at first singles,’’ Goldberg emphasized. 

Ricci’s goals as the season 

winds down are focused on tourney 

play. She’s aiming for success, 

both for the squad and in her 

individual matches. “Last year, 

we made it to the tourney but 

lost in the first round to North 

Attleboro,’’ she recalled. “We’ve 

got the talent to advance. As for 

myself, I’m striving to get by the 

first round and advance as far as 

possible.’’ 

Ricci is a big fan of her teammates 

— Emily MacDonald and 

Meghan Sepich in singles and 

Corinne Palumbo, Kelly Masse, 

Molly Citarel and Megan Davenport 

in doubles. “Meghan and 

Emily are very competitive and 

consistent and Corinne, Kelly, 

Molly and Megan are all talented, 

work hard and are determined. 

As for coach Goldberg, 

he’s a great motivator and he’s 

very analytical. At practice, he’s 

always ready to work.’’ 

The 17-year-old Ricci relies 

on power but she’s also capable 

with her placement. She hits 

hard, especially when employing 

her two-handed backhands and 

forehands. “I was advised to use 

both hands when I was younger,’’ 

Ricci said. “I use spin on my 

serve and try to place my lobs effectively. 

Whether I’m ahead or 

behind in matches, I try to stay 

upbeat, but I’m intense, always 

thinking about what I need to do 

to win.’’ 

A native of Wrentham who 

now lives in Plainville, Ricci 

played first doubles as a freshman 

and went 10-5. Last year at 

first singles, she compiled a 13-7

she plans on a college career

Roger Williams University is a 

potential venue. 

Ricci says her best effort so far 

was a victory over Taunton last 

year when she won, 6-0, in the 

third set. “My match decided the 

outcome and we won as a team,’’ 

she noted. “But, what was significant 

is that I kind of figured out 

what’s needed to be a consistent 

player.’’ 

Goldberg revealed how strong 

Ricci’s will is when she refused to 

default in her first match of the 

year against Canton. “She was 

sick and I suggested she not continue,’’ 

he said. “But, she refused, 

stayed in and won her match. 

Ricci said she was nauseous and 

believed she had a virus. When 

asked if she wanted to default, 

her response was “absolutely 

not.’’ 

Ricci relies on an athletic 

philosophy of competing hard, 

improving and having fun. And, 

she blends in all three aspects 

perfectly. “I’m not going to Wimbledon, 

so it’s important to have 

fun,’’ she said. “I like to improve 

and that leads to winning. Athletics 

teach life lessons, like working 

together, setting goals and overcoming 

problems. Sports also 

teach maturity. I’ve learned not 

to get angry over little things.’’ 

Rebecca Ricci has a bright future 

in tennis and she also has a 

great grasp on perspective.

KP Boys Tennis Nets New Coach, Wins 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Staff Sports Writer 

After King Philip lost long 

time boys tennis Coach Laurie 

Puddester to relocation, the Warriors 

were in need of a coach. 

Enter Jim McGonigle. The first 

year KP Coach acquires a team 

that went 12-7 last spring, but was 

bounced in the first round of the 

Division 1 South Tournament to 

Wellesley. The Warriors have advanced 

into the tournament for 

the past 4 years and 8 out of the 

last 9 seasons with two trips to the 

Quarter Finals. 

Entering this season, McGonigle 

will reign over a rather young 

Warrior squad, but one with a lot 

of depth. 

Moving up from his second 

singles position last spring, sophomore 

Cole Ginter will be the 

Warriors top dog playing first singles 

this season. A baseline tennis 

player with a big serve, Ginter 

plays tennis year round and currently 

finds himself 4-1-1 during 

the early goings. 

“People have told me that he 

is a much more confident player 

this year,” McGonigle said. “Last 

year he was new to the varsity 

tennis experience as a freshman.” 

Another warrior racketeer 

moving up a notch is senior cocaptain 

Garrett Schneider, who 

will play behind Ginter at second 

singles. Schneider is currently 

6-4 overall, having played four 

matches at first singles. Rounding 

out the singles players is freshman 

Blake Ginter, who currently finds 

himself undefeated at 6-0, and 

according to the coach has totally 

dominated his opponents. 

“I walked into some good fortune 

as a coach with these two 

young athletes,” the new coach 

said. “In addition to the Ginter 

brothers we have some talented 

young tennis players that should 

give us a bright future.” 

Juniors Ryan Gemelli and 

Sam Colella will play as the Warriors 

first doubles tandem. The 

duo, which seems to have good 

chemistry, is 7-3 thus far on the 

courts. 

“Having played together last 

year they communicate well and 

seemed to feed off one another,” 

McGonigle said. “Ryan has a big 

serve and Sam is more aggressive 

at the net.” 

While the first doubles team 

is established, the second doubles 

team is primarily the only constant. 

The senior co-captain Justin 

Rohan has played with five 

different partners thus far. With 

junior Jake Webster as his partner, 

Rohan has gone 3-0 and 2-1 

with freshman Marco DiStefano. 

In addition to Webster and DiStefano, 

the senior co-captain has 

also teamed with sophomore 

Aidan Ignatius and juniors Tim 

Constanzo and Nick Ihley. 

The first year coach is hoping 

to extend KP’s streak to five 

straight years of making it into 

the state tournament. And although 

a tough feat, the Warriors 

are looking to capture the Kelly 

Rex Division of the Hockomock 

League. 

“The Hockomock League is 

very tough with Franklin as the 

favorite. North Attleboro will also 

be right there,” the KP Coach 

said. “We dropped a couple of 

early matches that we could have 

won against these two teams, but 

we believe that we can take them 

out the next time we meet them. 

If we can do that then we’ll have 

a shot at the Kelly Rex, but may 

need a little help.” 

The young King Philip tennis 

players have shown that they can 

continue to improve and making 

the tournament should not be an 

issue. 

“We’re getting better as the 

year goes on,” the coach said. 

“Right now we’re playing to get 

into the tournament and draw a 

home match. Once you get in you 

never know what can happen in 

the tournament; we have a bright 

future and it’s very exciting.”

MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE 

should list NOW! This year does 

seem to have especially high demand. 

The mild winter weather, 

low interest rates and a stronger

contributing to this strong demand. 

Periods like this can create frustration 

for buyers but the good 

news is it will not stay like this 

forever and as we get into June 

more and more homes will come 

up for sale. If you see the house 

of your dreams between now and 

then you should take your best 

shot at it. Here are some proven 

tips to winning a bidding war: 

Experienced Buyer’s Agent 

The Importance of Having a Buyer’s 

Agent in a multiple offer situation 

really cannot be emphasized 

enough and it is the first step you 

should take when setting out to 

buy a home. They will guide you 

through the entire Home Buying 

Process and provide you with all 

the data and analysis you need to 

compare properties and decide 

How Much to Offer on a home in 

a bidding war situation. They will 

prepare you for what is to come 

each step of the way and give you 

very valuable insight into how to 

negotiate in a multiple offer situation. 

Have an Updated Pre-Approval 

Letter in Hand 

Have your pre-approval letter 

in hand even before you start 

looking, and have it updated so 

you don’t miss out on getting the 

home you want. Make sure the 

amount you’re pre-approved for 

is the amount you’re offering on 

the home. If you want to make 

an offer on a home that is priced 

above what you’re pre-approved 

for, get it updated to match that 

amount so long as you qualify. 

Getting the Right Mortgage Broker 

and obtaining a pre-approval 

ahead of time is a must in order 

to buy a home in this market. If 

there are multiple offers on the 

home, having a recent, up-to-date 

pre-approval letter is a distinct advantage 

over a buyer who doesn’t. 

Make it Personal 

Writing a letter to the seller 

about why you are the best person 

to own their home. It may help to 

humanize the transaction. Most 

sellers want someone to love the 

house as much as they did. Tell 

the seller why you love the home, 

why you would be the best owner 

for the home, and tell them a little 

about yourself so the seller can


picture you as the owner. A home 

seller may connect with a buyer 

who expresses how much they love 

the neighborhood or will maintain 

the garden they planted. A personal 

letter may give you an added 

advantage when it comes time for 

the seller to accept an offer. 

Keep Contingencies/ 

Demands at a Minimum 

A seller will prefer a buyer who 

doesn’t put any contingencies in 

their offer, such as having to sell 

an existing home before they can 

purchase a new one, or having a 

home inspection done. Although 

we generally do recommend that 

buyers have a home inspection, 

in a competitive situation it can 

help not to. Keep your demands 

at a minimum as well. Too many 

back and forth negotiations about 

repairs or appliances will make the 

seller turn to another buyer. Only 

request what is necessary. If you 

must have contingences such as 

a home inspection, make sure the 

timelines for them are short so you 

get it over with as soon as possible. 

Make Your First 

Offer Count 

The most popular question 

that Realtors receive from buyers 

is How Much Should I Offer? 

Speak with your buyer’s agent 

about what your first bid should 

be, and make sure it’s your best. 

Also be aware that you will not 

be able to find out what the other 

buyers are offering. You will often 

only get one chance to bid on a 

home, and an experienced agent 

will know the market and what the 

best offer will be for your budget. 

Don’t waste your time – or the 

seller’s time – with a lowball offer. 

Above all be patient! Don’t get 

caught up with emotions when 

presenting your offer or take it 

personally if your offer is rejected. 

There are many factors in play 

during multiple offer situations, 

and you won’t always know all the 

reasons why a seller chose another 

buyer”. Source: Unknown

on the trail often reinforce that 

notion. You never know what 

you will find on a walk around the 

trails after sunset. We’ll be on the 

lookout for the many creatures 

that roam the wetlands, fields 

and forest in the early evening. 

We might hear, or even see, owls, 

beavers, frogs, otters, bats or other 

nocturnal animals. Minimum 

age 6. Fee: $9adult/$6childm - 

$11/$7nm 

What’s the Buzz? Native Bees 

of Massachusetts: Saturday, 

June 18, from 1 to 3 p.m. Bees are 

fascinating and very important 

contributors to healthy ecosystems. 

Although bee keepers have 

been stewarding honey bees for 

thousands of years, those bees are 

not native to our country and are 

not the best pollinators for many 

of our native plants. Join Sean 

Kent, Education Coordinator for 

the Museum of American Bird 

Art at Mass Audubon to see his 

beautiful images of these incredible 

pollinators and learn about 

their natural history and efforts 

to conservation these amazing 

creatures. Fee: $8m/$10nm 

Learn the Ferns: Saturday, 

June 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 

12:30 p.m. Ferns have been an 

important component of the 

landscape since before dinosaurs 

roamed the earth. They predate 

the pines, spruces, hemlocks and 

all the beautiful flowering plants. 

Although they do not flower, 

their graceful arching forms add 

their own special beauty to our 

forests, fields and gardens. There 

are fewer than 100 kinds of ferns 

growing in our landscapes; we 

will focus on recognizing the key 

characteristics for identifying the 

common and not so common 

species. Join us to learn the skills 

you will need to recognize the 

common ferns in your landscape. 

Fee: $17m/$21nm 

Pre-registration is required for 

all programs (except as noted).
