Original Play The East at 

Dean College, Ponders 

Women’s Role in Holocaust 

The School of the Arts at 

Dean College will perform 

The East, beginning Wednesday, 

October 12, 2016 through 

Sunday, October 16, 2016. 

The East is an original 

play by Dean faculty members 

Matt Greene and Craig 

Handel. With their homeland 

in conflict, five young women, 

19-22 years old, seeking a 

sense of identity and purpose, 

answer the call of duty and 

travel to The East, to provide 

moral support for German 

soldiers during WWII. Their 

story is one of youthful hope 

and optimism confronting the 

harsh realities of war. 

“We wrote it over the course 

of the past year, and we’re still 

working on it,” says Handel, 

who says the inspiration for 

the play was a recent book by 

historian Wendy Lower, called 

Hitler’s Furies. In it, Lower 

writes of recently unveiled

A Reason to Be 

Together: Franklin’s 

Harvest Stroll, 

October 6 

By J.D. O’Gara 

“I live in Franklin, and I love 

these downtown festivals. I love 

bringing my kids – and the fact 

that we don’t have to go to Boston 

for activities and things to do. 

We’re giving people a reason to 

be downtown and be together 

with this community,” says Scott 

Martin, who works at the Bernon 

Family Branch of the Hockomock 

YMCA and is co-chairing 

the Franklin Downtown Partnership’s 

Harvest Stroll this coming 

October 6, from 4-7 p.m. 

“It’s a really cool thing now, 

that we’ve got the downtown redesigned,” 

says Scott. This gives 

people a reason to come down 

and see the unique businesses 

downtown.” 

The Stroll will officially begin 

at 4 p.m. with a ribbon cutting 

ceremony with town administrators, 

Franklin Downtown 

Partnership members and state 

officials Rep. Jeff Roy and Sen. 

Karen Spilka to mark the completion 

of the two-year construction 

project. 

The town, says Scott, is more 

walkable than ever. Organizers 

expect thousands to turn out for 

the event to sample fall-themed 

foods, participate in activities, 

enjoy local artist performances 

and learn about businesses and 

organizations, with over 60 

booths and locations downtown. 

A sampling of the fun to be 

had, not to mention specials 

planned by individual businesses, 

includes: 

• A hayride, sponsored by Hillside 

Nurseries, which will operate 

near the Post Office on 

Main Street.

“It showed all of the ways 

that an industrialized killing 

machine needs to be administrated, 

and the support women 

were providing,” says Handel. 

At the time, 1941, he says, 

German soldiers were involved 

in groups of killing squads, 

and many of them suffered intense 

anguish and guilt. Nazis, 

he says, “established these 

things called ‘soldier homes, 

where these guys could come 

and experience a little bit of 

home, and they would bring 

young ladies to talk with them, 

dance with them, socialize 

with them.” 

“We have a senior class at 

Dean that is almost all female, 

and it’s well-known, well-documented, 

that there aren’t a lot 

of great roles for women in theatre,” 

says Greene. “We wanted 

do something together, to write 

a play and give all these really 

young, wonderful students something 

juicy to sink their teeth 

into.” The five women on the 

journey in The East come from 

all different walks of life, says 

Greene, as many college students 

Photo by 

Daniel Kozar 

do. All of them have different 

perspectives. 

“As they become aware of 

what these guys are doing during 

the day, they kind of have to 

deal with the reality of it,” says 

Handel, who says he has pondered 

the question of how someone 

who grows up and learns the 

moral norms of society becomes 

able to “flick a switch.” 

The play 

portrays their 

journey and subsequent 

ordeal, 

emphasizing 

their humanity 

at odds with the 

inhuman world 

of the Nazis. 

“An insane 

ideology has 

taken over,” says 

Greene. “We 

have a mixture 

of characters, 

from completely 

ignorant to the 

other end of 

the spectrum, to 

someone who 

has a pretty good 

idea of what’s 

going on and are 

all for it.” 

“It’s a look at 

what happens to people when 

they become involved in a war 

that uses dehumanization to 

make it okay to kill your enemy. 

We want people to, in a way, 

recognize a part of themselves 

in these girls and ask themselves, 

‘What would I do?’ I believe that 

all of us have buttons that can 

be pushed, and unless you’re extremely 

vigilant, you’re susceptible,” 

says Handel. “You have to 

be able to imagine that scenario 

and have strategies for it. And 

I think theatre enables us to do 

that, to look at ourselves from a 

safe distance and consider the 

human condition.” 

“It’s a very human story,” says 

Greene. “And it’s about people 

during a very horrible time and 

what they do in that situation.” 

Professor Matt Greene recently 

spent six years as a Blue 

Man in the popular Blue Man 

Group. He performed more than 

1,000 shows, playing in front of 

millions. Professor Craig Handel 

is an actor, director, playwright, 

and combat choreographer who 

has been working professionally 

from New York City to Los Angeles 

since 1978. 

The East will be submitted to 

the New York Fringe Festival in 

December. If accepted, the cast 

and crew could present the play 

in New York during the 2-week 

festival in August 2017. 

Tickets to The East, which will 

run from October 12-17, range 

from $5-$22 and can be purchased 

online. To learn more and

Franklin Elks Plan Free Soccer 

Shoot for Area Youth October 1 

Event among Many Planned by Local Charitable Group 


The Franklin Elks have been 

busy holding a number of events, 

and October will be no different. 

In late September, the Franklin 

Elks Lodge #2136 started up 

their Sunday morning breakfasts, 

open to the public from 

9-11 a.m. each Sunday for an 

affordable breakfast, and they’ll 

continue with Bingo, open to the 

public, each Wednesday. 

On the first of this month, 

Franklin Elks will hold its annual 

Franklin Elks Soccer Shoot, 

from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., at the 

King Street Memorial Park, 

740 King Street, Franklin. This 

free event is open to boys and 

girls 13 and under, and the winners 

will get to advance to the 

District Competition, and with 

a little skill and luck, the State 

and National competitions. All 

competing must bring a birth 

certificate to verify players’ age. 

For questions about this, contact 

Mike Mele (508) 509-0789 or 

mjmele7@gmail.com. 

Want to take time off from 

your daily routine and simply 

rock out, old-fashioned style? 

Join the Franklin Elks on October 

14 for the Dirty Deeds 

AC/DC Tribute Band. $30 

will include dinner and the 

show. Visit www.facebook.com/ 

events/1765166613708140/. 

In September, the Franklin 

Elks Lodge #2136 partnered 

with the Local YMCA and Public 

Schools System to distribute 

245 FILLED backpacks, filled 

with required supplies for different 

grades, a project led by Elks 

Maureen Josselyn and Michele 

Walker. With the help of Lodge 

Members and a Grand Lodges 

ENF Promise Grant, the Franklin 

Elks were able to quadruple 

the number of backpacks collected 

in a similar YMCA drive 

last year. The lodge is grateful 

for the hundreds of donations 

from members and the local 

community, and families were 

beyond grateful for the financial 

burden and stress that was lifted 

off of their shoulders. 

In memoriam of 9/11 and its 

2,977 victims, Franklin Elk Sharon 

St. Hilaire spearheaded an 

effort to place one flag for every 

victim on the lawn of the Franklin 

Elks Lodge at 1077 Pond 

Street. pho 

In late September, the Franklin 

Elks Lodge #2136 sent a team 

of members to participate in the 

7th annual George Woods Jr. 

Scholarship Golf Tournament, 

raising over $3,000 toward the 

George Woods Jr. Scholarship 

Fund, which helps high school 

students pay for college.

Jim Henry & Abby Gardner 

at Circle of Friends 

Coffeehouse October 15 

Abbie Gardner, the fiery 

Dobro player with an infectious 

smile has been touring with 

Americana darlings Red Molly 

for the past eleven years. After 

gracing stages from Denver to 

Denmark, from Australia to 

Austin, the band decided to take 

an indefinite hiatus in 2015, so 

Abbie is striking out on her own! 

No stranger to solo performing, 

she has three CDs to draw from, 

each with award-winning songs. 

Jim Henry is an American 

folk singer/songwriter 

and world-class multi-instrumentalist. 

At center stage, whether as 

a solo artist or leading a band, 

Jim delivers his finely crafted 

original songs with a smooth, 

rich baritone voice and engaging 

story telling and humor. 

As a sideman, on a variety of 

electric or acoustic guitars, or on 

mandolin or dobro, Jim can render 

emotional sensitivity in one 

moment then tear into a rock or 

country solo with such fire it’s 

hard to catch your breath. He is 

a master of adding whatever is 

needed at any musical moment. 

He has produced, recorded, 

played and traveled the world. 

These two performers are 

magic together and we hope you 

can join us. 

The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse 

is a non-profit organization 

affiliated with Franklin’s 

First Universalist Society. Concerts 

are presented in a smoke 

free and alcohol free environment 

at the Society’s handicapped 

accessible Meetinghouse, 

262 Chestnut St. in Franklin, 

and begin at 8 p.m.; doors open 

at 7:30 p.m. Beverages and gourmet 

desserts will be available. 

Tickets for these shows are $20. 

Please call (508) 528-2541 or

information.


2 nd Harlem Wizards Vs. Franklin 

Public Schools Event November 18 

Tickets Sold Out Last Year – Get Yours Online Now 


Tickets are on sale right now 

for the second Harlem Wizards 

Vs. Franklin Public Schools 

(“Team FPS”) Community Basketball 

Event, a fundraiser for 

the Franklin Educational Foundation 

that will take place on 

Friday, November 18 at 7 p.m. at 

Tri-County Regional Vocational 

Technical High School Gymnasium, 

Franklin, Mass. The Harlem 

Wizards will bring their team 

to Franklin to compete against 

“Team FPS” for a 2-hour tournament. 

The Harlem Wizards 

brand of “Trick Hoops & Alley 

Oops” entertainment basketball 

has been packing gyms across 

the globe for over 50 years! Their 

show includes amazing slams, 

world-class tricks, precision teamwork 

and humor. “Team FPS” 

will include teachers and staff 

from Franklin Public Schools. 

“It went so well last year we’re 

doing it again this year,” says Kit 

Brady, of the Franklin Education 

Foundation, which has raised 

over $350,000 for special grants 

distributed to Franklin Public 

Schools since 1997. “We sold 

out, with a crowd of 1,200 parents, 

students and children.” 

Brady says that the feedback 

from those who attended last 

year’s event was all positive. 

“Parents wished we had more 

seating and really liked the things 

we offered in terms of the food 

and the souvenirs, the teachers 

who signed on to be on the team 

loved it, and the sponsors got really 

great exposure, both at the 

event and on the website,” says 

Brady. 

This was a positive change 

from previous years, when the 

FEF had held “Casino Night.” 

Casino Night was not as familyfriendly, 

says Brady. It yielded a 

small turnout, because “a lot of 

times families couldn’t come and 

would have to get a babysitter. 

This you can actually bring the 

kids and have a good time with 

a much more inclusive event kids 

could enjoy.” 

This event has now become 

FEF’s largest, most visible fundraiser, 

and numerous sponsorship 

opportunities are still 

available. Details on sponsorship 

can be found at www.franklined. 

org, or by contacting Lisa Brady 

at l.lisabrady@comcast.net. All 

sponsorship entries must be received 

by Friday, October 14th. 

“This really is our biggest 

fundraiser,” says Brady. “and the 

more money we have, the more 

Franklin Public Schools gets. We 

are all volunteers. There’s no salary, 

or anything like that.” 

All Franklin Public School 

staff members are eligible to submit 

creative, innovative ideas for 

programs or activities that would 

not traditionally be funded by tax 

dollars.

Where will the Franklin School 

for the Performing Arts (FSPA) 

take you? Every journey is different, 

as each student enters 38 

Main Street—FSPA’s home in 

downtown Franklin—with individual 

interests, ability levels, 

and goals. For students in FSPA’s 

top musical theater troupes and 

senior dance company, their adventure 

includes annual trips to 

Walt Disney World, where they 

perform in the parks and take 

workshops with Disney professionals. 

For the teenage members 

of Electric Youth, trained

FSPA’s youngest learners in the 

innovative Little Music School, 

their exploration takes them as 

far as their imaginations lead, 

discovering the joys of music 

making through color, creativity,

piano, opening up a whole new 

world of communication and expression.

and dance classes help students 

broaden their horizons through 

storytelling, creative movement, 

and improvisation. From once-aweek 

fun to more serious training, 

there are classes and performing 

options for every age and level. 

As young performers grow and 

develop, so do their opportunities. 

Each year, about 30 FSPA 

students travel to New York City 

for a weekend program of workshops 

with Broadway performers, 

choreographers, and casting 

professionals at Broadway Artists 

Alliance. Many of FSPA’s 

advanced-level dancers, guided 

and prepared by their teachers, 

attend prestigious summer ballet 

intensives across the country, including 

American Ballet Theatre 

(ABT), Bolshoi Ballet Academy,

Ballet, Joffrey Ballet School, Ballet 

West, and Miami City Ballet. 

No matter what their personal 

or professional goals, FSPA students 

discover a nurturing environment 

to enjoy the performing

their dreams.

FSPA students have the assistance 

of faculty mentors and

Despite Drought, 

Tri-County’s Garden Tops 

300 Pounds Donated 

Dry conditions presented new 

challenges to the teacher and 

student volunteers responsible 

for maintaining the garden at 

Tri-County Regional Vocational 

Technical High School this summer. 

Despite the drought, the garden 

yielded 300 pounds of fresh 

produce by Tuesday, August 23. 

The garden yielded 325 pounds 

by the same time last year. 

All of the produce harvested 

from the garden is donated to 

local food pantries. 

Walking through the garden 

Tuesday, Culinary Arts Instructor 

and Garden Coordinator 

Culinary Arts Instructor and 

Garden Coordinator Nancy 

Haney organizes nearly 100 

pounds of vegetables to be 

transported to the Franklin 

and Medway food pantries 

on Tuesday, August 23. 

Nancy Haney pointed out that 

although the plants were wilting 

at a faster rate than in the past, 

the garden was still enveloped in 

vibrant red tomatoes and hulking 

yellow sunflowers. This year’s 

newest additions to the garden, 

cabbage, kale, and corn, were 

also alive and well. 

The school has donated 

nearly 3,000 pounds of produce 

to food pantries in Franklin and 

Medway since the garden was 

established four years ago. The 

initiative educates students about 

proper gardening techniques and 

helps to bolster philanthropy.

Franklin Cultural Council Seeks 

Funding Proposals 

The Franklin Cultural Council 

(FCC) has set an October 

17 deadline for organizations, 

schools, and individuals to apply 

for grants that support cultural 

activities in the community. This 

funding encourages individuals, 

groups and not-for-profit organizations 

to bring to the community 

unique programming 

that centers around the arts, humanities, 

history or interpretive 

sciences for children, adults or 

intergenerational groups. 

This year, the Franklin Cultural 

Council will distribute 

about $11,000 in grants. Previously 

funded projects include: 

programs/field trips for five of 

Franklin’s schools (public and 

charter), Franklin Downtown 

Partnership Strawberry Stroll, 

LiveArts, Franklin Performing 

Arts Company Whatever Theatre 

Festival, Southeastern MA 

Community Concert Band, and 

the Franklin Art Association, to 

name a few. 

According to Stacey David, 

FCC Chairperson, these grants 

can support a variety of artistic 

projects and activities in Franklin 

-- including exhibits, festivals, 

field trips, short-term artist residencies 

or workshops, lectures, 

and performances in schools, 

the library, the senior center, or 

for the community at large. 

While the focus of the proposals 

should remain similar 

to past years—community-oriented 

arts, humanities, and science 

programs—this year the 

FCC is encouraging new applicants 

to apply. All grant applications 

are due by Monday, 

October 17. Proposals that are 

past the deadline will not be 

considered. Also new this year is 

that the application process will 

be done entirely online. Log on 

to https://www.mass-culture. 

org/Franklin for grant guidelines 

and to apply. 

FCC Chairperson Stacey 

David also noted that Council 

members are a small but dedicated 

group looking for other 

residents who are interested in 

bringing first-rate arts, humanities 

and science programs to the 

Town of Franklin. For more 

information about the FCC, 

contact Stacey David, FCC 

Chair atfranklinculturalcouncil02038@gmail.com. 

The Franklin Cultural Council 

is part of a network of 329 

Local Cultural Councils serving 

all 351 cities and towns in 

the Commonwealth. The LCC 

Program is the largest grassroots 

cultural funding network in the 

nation, supporting thousands 

of community-based projects 

in the arts, sciences and humanities 

every year. The state 

legislature provides an annual 

appropriation to the Massachusetts 

Cultural Council, a state 

agency, which then allocates 

funds to each community.

A Year Later, Healthier than Ever Before! 

When Larry Regan joined 

New England Fat Loss (NEFL) 

in October of 2015, he did not 

anticipate a long-term successful 

weight loss. He’s now in maintenance, 

having over 50 pounds of 

fat gone and being free of multiple 

medications, he happily admits, 

“I was wrong.” 

“I didn’t think I would EVER 

be where I am today,” Regan said. 

“I tried everything; working out, 

almost every kind of diet there 

was, with no success. This was the 

first time I ever saw any real results 

immediately.” 

The real triumph for Regan, 

however, is that 12 months later, 

he is still substantially lighter and 

much healthier. At the beginning 

of the program, he weighed 232 

pounds, had been diagnosed with 

type 2 diabetes, had high blood 

pressure and elevated cholesterol 

counts. He was referred to New 

England Fat Loss and his entire 

life changed. 

“Caring friends brought me 

here [NEFL], because I had been 

diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 

and they said they both had success 

with it,” Regan said. “I could 

see it in them. I was pretty upset, 

so I was going to try one more 

thing.” 

Armed with a full education on 

his personal metabolic food triggers, 

Regan is not only more comfortable 

within his own body, he 

does not feel restrained with menu 

choices. Once NEFL’s technology 

helped identify his individual 

body makeup, his outlook on food 

completely changed. 

“The food list I’m now on, is 

food that metabolizes quickly in 

my specific body. We all have a 

different biochemistry, so we all 

get a different food list,” Regan 

said. “All the foods are listed as 

positive or negative, with the 

negative food metabolizing 

slowly. If I want to eat something 

that metabolizes slowly, I 

combine it with something that 

metabolizes quickly and that can 

turn my meal from a negative 

into a positive.” 

Today, 60-year-old Regan 

proudly declares his entire physical 

and mental outlook has 

changed from balancing his hormones 

and burning fat. He not 

only possesses a healthy blood 

sugar count, he is medication free, 

more active and more confident. 

“I am stronger than I have 

ever been,” Regan said. “I have 

the information to maintain balance, 

and there is a sense of well 

being that I didn’t realize would 

come along with that. I feel very 

comfortable. I wear clothes now 

that I never thought I would 

wear again. It has even improved

third season of Local Artist 

and Jazz series entertainment 

this October. A suburban hub

Jeff Roy, the acoustic 

rock band Ben Gardner’s Boat 

also features Don Larsen, Tom 

Grillo, Pat DeGregorio and 

Scott Mueller. The five have 

played together since the 1990s. 

The Chick Magnets showcases 

a lineup of veteran players and 

multi-instrumentalists, featuring 

bluesy keyboards, saxophone 

and trombone, plus a healthy 

commitment to vocal harmonies. 

The seven-piece group, including 

Barry Madden of Franklin 

Ford, performs Rhythm and 

Blues and older rock and roll, 

including what Madden calls “a 

lost jukebox selection.” 

The Mark Poniatowski Situation 

headlines a BLACK BOX

composer and arranger Mark

The Allman Brothers, and the 

Eagles. The music tells timeless 

stories of happiness, heartbreak, 

rejection and redemption with 

rhythm that keeps audiences 

dancing. Combining rock and

craft a sound that is filled with 

hard riffs and soulful melodies.

Berry Insurance Gives $5,000 to 

Boston Children’s Hospital as Winner of 

2016 Safeco Insurance® Make More Happen Award 

Berry Insurance in Franklin 

has earned a 2016 Safeco Insurance 

Make More Happen 

Award for its community work 

with Boston Children’s Hospital. 

The award includes a $4,000 

donation to Boston Children’s 

Hospital from Safeco Insurance. 

Berry Insurance agent, 

Amanda Spittell, and Boston 

Children’s Hospital also had a 

story featured on Safeco.com, 

which awarded the hospital an 

additional $1,000. For the hospital 

to win the extra money, at 

least 50 different individuals had 

to leave a virtual “cheer” on the 

Safeco.com story. 

Safeco’s Make More Happen 

Awards recognize independent 

agents who demonstrate extraordinary 

volunteerism for a 

nonprofit organization. These 

awards focus on nonprofits in 

the areas of health and safety, 

education and civil service. 

Berry Insurance was selected for 

the Make More Happen Award 

based on a photo and application 

demonstrating its commitment 

to Boston Children’s 

Hospital, which serves Boston 

and the surrounding area by 

providing care, leading research 

and educating the next generation. 

For 10 years, Berry Insurance 

employees have collected 

Halloween costumes for children 

to wear during the hospital’s 

parade and trick-or-treating 

events. The insurance agency 

has provided nearly all of the 

approximately 400 patients, and 

their siblings, the chance to participate 

in Halloween. 

“Safeco is committed to encouraging 

agents to make a 

difference in their local communities, 

and through the Make 

More Happen program, we enable 

them to directly support 

the programs where they personally 

see the greatest need,” 

said Meghan Chase, Safeco 

Insurance northeast territory 

manager. “We are thrilled to see

so many agents participating in 

this program, and we’re proud 

to help them support the local 

charities they care about most.” 

Throughout 2016, Safeco 

will select a total of 66 independent 

agencies for the awards and 

donate up to $330,000 to the 

nonprofits they support. The 

Make More Happen Awards 

are a part of Safeco Insurance’s 

Agent Giving Program.


Fall Financial Tidbits 

Jeffrey Schweitzer 

Summer has come to an end. 

Now that the hottest days, family 

vacations and back-to-school 

rush are behind us, it’s a great 

time to give some attention to 

your personal finances. Prepare 

for the coming months – and the 

holidays on the horizon – with 

these fall tips: 

Pay quarterly estimated taxes. 

If you’re self-employed or you 

have extra income you haven’t 

reported on your W-2, now’s the 

time to make sure you’re paying 

both state and federal quarterly 

estimated income taxes so you 

don’t get stuck with a big bill 

from Uncle Sam in April. September 

15th was the deadline to 

pay your third quarter estimates, 

but don’t let that stop you from 

sending something in anyway. 

Prepare for the cooler months. 

Although you may still have 

summer on your mind, staying 

warm gets expensive when winter 

hits. Many utility companies 

offer “budget billing” plans that 

allow you to spread your heating 

costs over the year while avoiding 

a surprisingly large bill for a 

particularly cold month. Also, 

winterizing your home this fall 

conserves energy and saves 

money. 

Start saving for the holidays. 

It may sound excessive to start 

thinking about the holidays 

in October, but Christmas is a 

less than 90 days away. Now is 

a great time to create a holiday 

spending plan. For instance, if 

you plan to spend $300 on gifts, 

you should start saving $3-4 per 

day to get there. Stashing away 

cash in advance allows you to 

buy gifts for everyone on your list 

without taking on debt. Resolve 

to start a “Christmas Club” savings 

account in the New Year to 

jump-start your savings habit. 

Teach children to save. When 

kids return to school, they often 

have a renewed sense of focus 

and determination. Schools 

across the country are incorporating 

financial literacy into the 

classroom. Take this opportunity 

to talk to your children about 

money and the importance of 

saving. Your efforts will be rewarded 

as your child develops 

an understanding of financial 

principles and positive financial 

habits. We have a great FREE 

guide entitled “Money Doesn’t 

Grow on Trees...Teaching Kids 

About Money.” Please feel free 

to call me and I will send you a 

copy right away. My number is 

below. 

De-clutter and donate. As 

summer winds down and you 

start spending more time inside, 

take a hard look at all the stuff 

you’ve been stockpiling. Sorting 

through clothes you no longer 

wear along with electronics and 

unused household items can 

free-up space and even make 

you a little cash. Sell items at 

a local consignment shop or 

donate them (by making a taxdeductible 

contribution). 

Conquering the Clutter in 

your Financial Closet. You need 

only to keep credit card receipts, 

ATM transactions, and deposit 

saute & GRill 

RestauRant 

and debit card receipts until you 

verify the transaction on your 

monthly statements and then 

you can shred them. In the event 

that you have a small business, 

some of these records should be 

kept longer. Feel free to reach 

out to me and I can provide you 

with some details on how long 

to keep specific items. Always 

remember that any financial 

transaction, receipt or account 

statement should be shredded. 

NEVER throw them in the 

trash. 

PERMANENT items you 

may want to keep: 

• Educational records 

• Employment records 

• Health records 

• Retirement and Pension 

Plan information 

• Contents of your safe deposit 

box 

CURRENT items, which 

need to be reviewed every 3-6 

years, before deciding whether 

to continue keeping or shredding 

them include: 

• Cancelled checks 

• Bank statements 

• Insurance policies

staple of the musical theatre 

canon. Set in the small village

and hold onto traditional values 

in the face of changing 

social mores and the growing 

anti-Semitism of Tzarist Russia.

theme of tradition has won the

Dean College Ranks Among the 

Top Best Regional Colleges 

Dean College, a private, residential 

college located in Franklin, 

Massachusetts, has been 

ranked 19th in the U.S. News & 

World Report for the Best Regional 

Colleges, North category. Additionally, 

Dean placed 9th in this 

category for Best Value Schools. 

This is the sixth consecutive 

year that Dean College has received 

the honor, and the highest 

ranking in the college’s history. 

“We are thrilled to be recognized 

by U.S. News and our peer 

institutions once again this year,” 

said Dr. Paula M. Rooney, Dean 

College President. “Of particular 

note this year is our designation 

in the Best Value Schools 

category, as we continually look 

for ways to assist our students 

achieve their education goals 

with the best financial aid solutions 

possible.” 

The U.S. News ranking system 

for the Best Regional Colleges 

rests on two pillars. The formula 

uses quantitative measures that 

education experts have proposed 

as reliable indicators of 

academic quality, and it is based 

on research of what matters in 

education, including: graduation 

rate performance, academic reputation, 

and financial selectivity 

among others. 

This year’s ranking is a testament 

to The Dean Difference 

– the hands-on and engaging 

faculty & staff, strong academic 

support, valuable internships, 

and real life workforce preparation 

that Dean College provides. 

The College recently welcomed 

a robust class of incoming students, 

making this its highest 

total enrollment in the past 25 

years, representing 30 states and 

26 countries.

Senator Ross Completes Fifth 

Year of Perfect Voting in 2016 

Senator Richard Ross was 

recently recognized by Beacon 

Hill Roll Call for his 100% voting 

attendance record in the 

Massachusetts Senate in 2016. 

This marks the fifth year in a 

row Senator Ross has received a 

perfect attendance record. 

“I am honored to once again 

have served and represented the 

people of the Norfolk, Bristol, 

and Middlesex District,” said 

Senator Ross. “While it is important 

to speak and listen to the 

request of my constituents, it is 

even more important to be their 

voice on Beacon Hill. I hope to 

continue serving them in 2017.” 

In 2016 the Senate held 469 

roll call votes – more than double 

held in 2015. The near 500 

votes pertained to legislation including 

topics such as the FY17 

budget, pay equity, economic development, 

energy diversity and 

MBTA fare increases. Throughout 

the remainder of the year 

the Senate is continuing to hold 

informal sessions and will return 

to formal sessions in January of 

2016.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

Support for Charter Schools 

Dear Editor, 

On Nov. 8, voters will go to 

the polls and, along with voting 

for our next President, have 

an opportunity to weigh in on a 

number of local issues - including 

Question 2 which, if approved, 

would lift the cap on public 

charters. Nearly 32,000 families 

are stuck on a waiting list to attend 

one of these great public 

schools because of an outdated 

and arbitrary cap on the number 

of charter schools in Mass. 

As we get closer to election 

day, we wanted to make sure 

you had the facts around charter 

schools, and to clear up some 

misinformation which is being 

promoted by special interests 

who are opposed to expanding 

access to charter schools. 

Save Our Public Schools - a 

special interest-backed coalition 

which opposes families’ right to 

choose the best public school 

.D. MURPHY 

JCONSTRUCTION 

Since 1976 

for their children - makes the 

following claim in a new advertisement: 

“$400 million dollars - 

that’s how much charter schools 

will drain from Massachusetts 

public schools this year.” 

This is a deliberately misleading 

attack on public charter 

schools, designed to scare voters 

away from supporting equal 

opportunity for thousands of 

families desperate for a better 

education. Here’s the truth about 

public charter schools and school 

funding: (PDF also attached with 

backup to support these facts) 

Charter Schools ARE 

public schools. 

According to Massachusetts 

state law, a charter school is a 

“public school operated under a 

charter granted by the Board...a 

charter school is considered a 

local education agency for all 

purposes.” In Massachusetts,

education funding is assigned 

to a student, not to a school. So 

when a student opts for a public 

charter school, the money to 

educate that student simply follows 

her from one public school 

to another, exactly how it would 

if she moved from one district 

school to another. According 

to Scot Lehigh of The Boston 

Globe, implying that charter 

schools are not public schools, 

because they’re overseen by the 

state, is “akin to saying that the 

state police aren’t public law enforcement 

officers.” 

Public charter schools 

have actually INCREASED 

funding for 

public education. 

Whenever a new public charter 

school opens, the state provides 

traditional public school 

districts with more state aid, 

which has increased overall education 

spending on public education 

by hundreds of millions 

of dollars. Opening new public 

charter schools has led to more 

than $236 million in state aid for 

public education over the last five 

years, including more than $41 

million in FY15. 

Spending on public 

education in 

Massachusetts has 

increased dramatically, 

not decreased. 

Over the last five years, due 

in part to the spending outlined 

above, education spending has 

increased in Massachusetts by 

16.9%. This has amounted to an 

additional $1.7 billion in public 

funding for public schools. 

Non-partisan research institutions, 

editorial boards, and 

opinion leaders across the Commonwealth 

have rejected the idea 

that public charter schools take 

money from public education, 

calling Save Our Public Schools’ 

argument everything from “absurd” 

to “an outright lie.” 

I hope you’ll consider this as 

we come closer to November 8.

Preserving a Piece of the Past 

DinnerWear Jewelry 

Mary-Ann Wood’s home 

studio is a treasure trove – a 

collection of delicate china 

pieces impressed with unique 

colors, patterns, and most of 

all, memories. Her craft has 

taken her to the honored 

position of preserving, and 

even reinventing, cherished 

family heirlooms, turning 

them into wearable artwork 

to be passed on and shared 

with loved ones. Dinner- 

Wear Jewelry, hand-cut earrings, 

pendant necklaces, lariats, 

bracelets and pins, are, literally, 

“pieces of the past.” 

“I’ve loved china since I 

was very young,” says the artist. 

“When I was a little girl, I 

would beg my grandmother to 

set the table with her fine china 

for Sunday dinners.” The selftaught 

artist, whose creativity 

was encouraged within her 

family of artists, had originally 

experimented with creating mosaics 

from beautiful dinnerware, 

but she didn’t enjoy the work. 

Instead, she began perfecting 

her own technique of handcarving 

and shaping the designs 

from the plates into jewelry. 

“Local people started asking 

me if I would take their grandmother’s 

china and make keepsakes 

for the family,” she says. 

So she did, and soon she featured 

her work at over 30 shops 

in New England as well as in 

her family’s Woodshed Gallery, 

in Franklin. 

“I was never thinking it 

would be a business,” says the 

artist, “but it became popular 

very fast.” Wood began taking 

her work to craft shows, 

and the demand for her talents 

grew to where she now works 

large shows all along the east 

coast. The jewelry designer enjoys 

turning out one-of-a-kind, 

sentimental designs from your 

original pieces for Christmas, 

weddings and family events. 

“There’s always a story attached 

to the piece,” says Mary- 

Ann. “They become a memory 

of the person whom the plate 

belonged to, and the stories are 

as unique as your own family. I 

often feel very emotional about 

the piece that I’m working on 

from hearing the stories, and 

there are a lot of happy tears 

when they’re given as gifts.” 

Dinner Wear’s first client was 

a Millis woman in 1998. 

“She had me design pieces 

from her grandmother’s china, 

and she even had me make 

extra pieces for the children who 

weren’t born yet,” says Mary- 

Ann. “They didn’t have a lot to 

pass on, so it was a great way to 

have it go from generation to 

generation.” 

“A lot of times I hear, from 

the people 

I meet, that 

they recently 

had someone 

pass in 

the family, 

and they’ve 

got boxes of 

china in the 

attic. Young 

girls don’t want 

it, because it 

can’t go in the 

dishwasher. I 

help these young 

people downsize 

by making 

jewelry from it. 

They have that 

special piece to 

wear close to their heart, to remember,” 

notes Mary-Ann, 

who fashions the pieces to suit 

the tastes of different generations 

of family members. She 

even recently created beautiful 

keepsake gems for herself, her 

sister and her niece from a broken 

piece of her mother’s china. 

“The older it is, the more I 

enjoy it,” says the artist, who 

even works with teacups and 

pasta plates. She enjoys the 

challenge of working with intricate 

shapes and isolating flowers 

from leaves for balance and 

color, using a variety of grinders, 

drills and Dremel tools in 

her work. 

The reward is the feedback 

she gets from her clients. 

“I love hearing from the 

families after they’ve given the 

jewelry,” says Wood, who gets 

pictures of people wearing it 

and, often, requests for additional 

pieces. She has brought 

peace to a number of sisters 

who’ve quarreled over who is 

going to keep the family china. 

By making the jewelry, “if 

one person has the china, other 

people get to enjoy it,” she says. 

The jewelry is also, of course, 

a big hit for weddings and bridal 

parties as well as for special family 

gifts. She accepts orders by 

mail from all around the country, 

with potential customers 

outlining exactly what they’d 

like made through a simple 

order form on her website, DinnerWearJewelry.com. 

In fact, for $48 or more, you 

can have customized jewelry 

from your own family heirlooms.

Cataract Surgery: Symfony is here! 

By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D. 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

The U.S. Food and Drug 

Administration has recently 

approved the first cataract intraocular 

lens implant that provides 

cataract patients with an 

extended depth-of-focus, which 

helps improve their sharpness 

of vision (visual acuity) at near, 

intermediate and far distances. 

The Symfony is here, a masterpiece 

in design and function and 

a real advancement in cataract 

surgery implants.

Cataracts are a common eye 

condition where the natural 

lens becomes clouded, impairing 

a patient’s vision. According 

to the National Eye Institute, 

more than 20% of Americans 

will have cataracts by the age of 

65, and the prevalence increases 

with age. In cataract surgery, the 

clouded natural lens is removed 

and replaced with an intraocular 

lens implant. 

While intraocular lenses have 

been the mainstay of cataract 

treatment for many years, we

continue to see advances in this 

technology. The Tecnis Symfony 

Extended Range of Vision implant 

provides a new option for 

patients that may result in better 

vision across a broader range of 

distances. 

Traditional monofocal implants 

have been limited to improving 

distance vision. With 

those traditional implants, only 

one distance is corrected, so if 

you choose to correct for distance 

only, close-up vision is blurry… 

and vice versa. The Tecnis Symfony 

implant improves visual 

acuity at close, intermediate and 

far ranges and, therefore, will 

reduce the need for patients to 

wear contact lenses or glasses 

after cataract surgery. 

The FDA approval of the 

Symphony implant was based 

on a review of results from a randomized 

clinical trial comparing 

148 cataract patients implanted 

with the Tecnis Symfony to 151 

cataract patients implanted with

a monofocal IOL. The study 

evaluated visual acuity at near, 

intermediate and far ranges; 

contrast sensitivity (the ability 

to distinguish small differences 

between light and dark); and adverse 

events for six months after 

implantation. Of the patients implanted 

with the Tecnis Symfony 

implant, 77% had good vision 

(20/25), without glasses at intermediate 

distances, compared to 

34% of those with the monofocal 

implants. For near distances, 

patients with the Tecnis Symfony 

implant were able to read two 

additional, progressively smaller 

lines on a standard eye chart 

than those with the monofocal 

implant. Both sets of patients 

had comparable results for good 

distance vision. 

The Tecnis Symfony implant 

is also available in four toric 

models, which are indicated for 

the reduction of residual refractive 

astigmatism or imperfections 

in the curvature of the eye. This 

is indeed good news as astigmatism 

was a limitation in the past

Ian McSweeney – A Talent for Tri-County Football 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Growing up in the town of 

Franklin, when it came time to 

enter high school, Ian McSweeney 

had two choices: Tri-County 

Regional Vocational School or 

the Franklin High School; Mc- 

Sweeney chose the latter. As 

a three-sport athlete, the now 

Franklin Panther was looking 

forward to wrestling, playing 

baseball and football for his high 

school, but things didn’t work 

out as he had hoped. 

“My freshman year, I played 

football for Franklin High, but I 

really didn’t enjoy myself,” the 

Franklin native said. “I wanted 

to be a running back, but the 

freshman team was loaded with 

them, and the coach told me that 

I was going to be an offensive 

lineman. I was not at all thrilled 

with the position, but played it 

for the good of the team.” 

Following his disappointing 

freshman football campaign, 

McSweeney decided to look into 

transferring to the other Franklin 

school. His parents were not 

too keen on the idea, and his 

friends thought he had lost his 

mind. 

“My parents were iffy about 

it at first, as my grades were 

Senior Ian McSweeney took his 

football skills and ambition to 

Tri-County in his sophomore year, 

and he hasn’t looked back. 

not the best. Although football 

was the first reason I wanted to 

transfer, I did like the idea of academics 

one week and shop the 

next,” McSweeney said. “My 

friends were like, dude, what are 

you doing, but I welcomed the 

new situation, something different, 

and it wasn’t like I was leaving 

all my friends, as I had other 

friends who went to Tri-County.” 

Upon completion of his first 

two semesters at Franklin High 

School, McSweeney changed 

lockers to one across town at 

Tri-County at the beginning 

of the new calendar year. And 

while it was not set in stone that 

he would play running back for 

the Cougars, the Franklin athlete 

was ready for the new beginning. 

“He’s a great all-around athlete 

that plays three sports, has 

a great work ethic and always 

puts his team first,” TC Football 

Coach Tony Mazzola said 

of McSweeney. “After he transferred, 

we were able to have 

some good conversations. However, 

I told him that I would 

give him the opportunity to play 

where he wants, but at the end 

of the day, I am the coach, and I 

have the final say.” 

Being that it’s tough to get talented 

athletes to stray away from 

their home towns, especially if 

they have a well-established program 

that is continually advancing 

into the tournament year 

after year, Mazzola likes to give 

kids a shot. Needless to say, he 

liked what he saw in McSweeney. 

“I saw that Ian had really 

good vision with potential. He 

saw some JV action at running 

back, but he primarily played 

outside linebacker for us as a 

sophomore,” the Coach said. 

“As a junior, he was our go-to 

back and rushed for 956 yards 

and 10 touchdowns. It happened 

to work out for him, but 

for every Ian, there are many 

other athletes that just can’t play 

the position that they think they 

can. At the end of the day, they 

can play the position that I think 

is best for them or they can walk 

away, it’s their decision.” 

As a sophomore, the transfer 

student had to adjust to an entirely 

new offensive and defensive 

philosophy at Tri-County 

and found things rough going at 

first. 

“It was definitely tough at 

first, trying to learn the Tri- 

County mentality on both sides 

of the ball,” McSweeney said. 

“When Coach Mazzola saw 

how hard I was working to de-

Franklin Sports 

Lounsbury a Major Plus for 

Franklin’s Field Hockey Team 

By KEN HAMWEY 

Thirteen players have graduated 

from Franklin High’s field 

hockey team that compiled a 

15-2-3 record last year and advanced 

to the South Sectional 

semifinals before bowing to Mansfield. 

Younger players obviously 

will have to step up in capable 

fashion to fill those vacancies if 

the Panthers expect to repeat or 

improve on their success of 2015. 

That’s where senior tri-captain 

Caroline Lounsbury hopes 

to play a significant role. 

The 5-foot-4 Lounsbury is 

a three-year varsity midfielder 

who’s been playing field hockey 

since she was eight. The highlyskilled 

17-year-old not only is a 

major asset on the field, but she’s 

also a quality leader off it. 

“We’re young but our players 

have talent and skills,’’ Lounsbury 

said. “My sights are set 

on winning the Kelly-Rex Division 

of the Hockomock League 

and going deeper into the tourney. 

We can realistically achieve 

those objectives if we create good 

chemistry. As a captain, I’ll offer 

advice if asked, be supportive of 

all players and help with technical 

skills. I want our younger 

players to be comfortable and I 

want them to know they can approach 

me and talk any time.’’ 

Coach Lisa Cropper is a big 

fan of Lounsbury and is acutely 

aware of her value on all fronts. 

“Caroline is steady and reliable 

on and off the field, and she’s 

unselfish,’’ Cropper emphasized. 

“She’s not flashy, but she plays 

with great field awareness and is 

instinctive. She had five goals and 

four assists last year, but her goals 

came at key times.’’ 

Relying on speed and endurance, 

Lounsbury has a keen 

passing ability and is superb in 

transition, able to shift gears from 

offense to defense in a split second. 

One reason she makes her 

goals count is her ability to get in 

position for rebounds. 

“Caroline is able to score off 

rebounds, because she’s aggressive 

getting into the circle and 

taking charge,’’ Cropper said. 

“She can judge where the ball is 

going.’’ 

As a junior last year, she 

won the team’s Most Improved 

Award. Her effort in the second 

round of the tourney against 

Dennis-Yarmouth was an indication 

of her progress and her 

improving skills. She scored two 

goals in a 3-1 victory. “We had 

lost to them twice before, but I 

scored off a rebound in the first 

half, then scored 23 seconds into 

the second half,’’ Lounsbury recalled. 

“Those goals helped build 

momentum.’’ 

Franklin High senior tri-captain Caroline Lounsbury is an asset to her 

field hockey team, stepping up where it counts. 

Lounsbury is sure the Panthers’ 

other two senior captains 

—defenders Dana Lewandowski 

and Kayla Marshall — will play 

key leadership roles in Franklin’s 

season. “Both are aggressive and 

solid on defense,’’ Lounsbury 

said. “They’re vocal, have good 

field awareness, and it’s comforting 

to see them in our backfield.’’ 

Lounsbury also is bullish on 

Cropper, a coach who still competes. 

“Coach Cropper has vast 

experience, knows the game 

and is a tremendous motivator,’’ 

Lounsbury noted. “She’s 

respected and wants nothing but 

success for her players.’’ 

Lounsbury will play her second 

varsity year of lacrosse this 

spring and she plans to again be 

effective on both sides of the ball. 

She plays attack but she’s adept 

at both scoring and assisting. 

“Lacrosse is an explosive game,’’ 

she said. “Even on attack, there’s 

defense to be played. My most 

memorable game came in a victory 

against Acton-Boxboro last 

year in the East Sectional final. I 

liked my transition game, my offthe-ball 

moves were good and I 

was able to maintain possession 

as time was running out.’’ 

An honor-roll student, Lounsbury 

likely will attend a Division 

2 or 3 college and major in physical 

therapy or childhood education. 

Her athletic preference is to 

continue with lacrosse. 

Relying on a competitive philosophy 

that focuses on winning, 

reaching one’s potential and enjoying 

sports, Lounsbury says: 

“Winning is important, because 

it makes you appreciate it more 

when you’re on the losing end.’’ 

It’s early in the season, but so 

far Lounsbury and Franklin have 

started strong, defeating North 

Attleboro and Milford for a 2-0 

record. 

Lounsbury also is acutely 

aware of the value of athletics 

teaching life lessons. She knows 

that setting goals, working as a 

team and overcoming adversity 

are all valuable lessons learned 

from athletics. “Sports also teach 

you to not get down when you 

make a mistake,’’ she said. “Instead, 

focus on successes and always 

set high goals.’’ 

Lounsbury is hoping to be selected 

to the Hockomock League 

all-star team in field hockey this 

year. It’s a lofty goal that she 

knows will take hard work to 

achieve. But, a strong work ethic 

is no stranger to the Franklin native. 

She proved that in July, when 

she traveled to Virginia Beach for 

a national dance competition. 

“I take lessons in different 

kinds of dance at the Patti 

Eisenhauer Dance Center,’’ 

Lounsbury said. “I competed in 

contemporary dance for a national 

championship in a duet 

and a team routine, and we won 

both events.’’ 

Not surprising. 

Because Caroline Lounsbury 

always devotes herself to the task 

at hand. 

FOOTBALL 


velop my game, he told me that 

I would be the next guy in line. 

Although I had a great junior 

year with the varsity team, I feel 

my sophomore year was my best 

year as I averaged 10 yards a 

play.” 

As a senior this fall, McSweeney 

is expected to contribute at 

both his running back position 

as well as his outside linebacker 

position on defense instead of focusing 

on the production aspect 

of the game. TC will probably 

rotate three different backs this 

year depending on who has the 

hot hand. McSweeney was given 

the game one duties and proved 

he can still produce. During the 

Cougars opening day victory 

over Marian Keefe Tech (18-6) 

the senior back ripped off 100 

plus yards and found his way 

into the end zone. 

“The biggest thing is finding 

out if he’ll be able to check his 

ego and watch as others run the 

ball while he does what it takes 

to help the team win,” Mazzola 

said. “He’ll be a big part of this 

team one way or another.” 

McSweeney has no issues 

about his shared responsibilities 

this fall, as a senior he’s looking 

to be that leader on the field. 

“We are a band of brothers, 

and I want to lead this team 

into the playoffs,” he said. “I am 

looking for nothing less than a 

league championship; something 

this program hasn’t had 

since the 2009 season. I not only 

want to get Tri-County back 

into the tournament, I want 

teams to fear us.” 

As the team looks to move 

closer to a tournament berth 

with each and every victory, 

McSweeney would like nothing 

more that rushing for another 

1,000 yards this fall. In fact, the 

senior back really would like the 

school’s rushing record that belongs 

to Tyler Koffman. 

If he stays healthy and continues 

to produce, he should be 

the featured back in Mazzola’s 

offensive scheme game in and 

game out, and if that happens, 

who knows? McSweeney just 

might be able to topple the 

school record.
