“A Christmas Carol” at the Norfolk Grange 

Performances Slated for Dec. 9, 10, 16, and 17 

By Grace Allen 

When Lori Beck walked into 

the Norfolk Grange for the first 

time, she saw the historic structure 

through the eyes of her musical 

theatre background. It was, she 

thought, the perfect venue for a 

community theatre. 

“I went, ‘Oh my goodness, 

what a beautiful space,’” said Beck. 

“’The acoustics are gorgeous and 

it’s tiny but workable.’ And it got 

into my head and I couldn’t get rid 

of it and I kept thinking and thinking 

and thinking.” 

After speaking with a friend 

she had performed with in the 

past, Beck decided the time was 

right to dive back in to theatre. 

“He told me, ‘Yes, you have to do 

this,’ and it just kind of went from 

there,” she explained. 

Beck knew “A Christmas 

Carol” would be the first production. 

“It holds a very special place 

in my heart,” she shared. “I have 

performed it seven times. A year 

can’t go by that I don’t read the 

novel.” 

Written in 1843 by Charles 

(l to r) Actors Tim Danielson (Ebenezer Scrooge) and Trever Chapin (Scrooge’s nephew Fred) rehearsing 

at the Grange. 

Dickens, “A Christmas Carol” is 

the story of a bitter miser who 

atones for his sins after visits from 

the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, 

and Yet to Come. With minor 

adaptations, Beck has stayed true 

to the classic holiday tale. 

“It’s important that people 

hear the original text,” she explained, 

“and see it as the tale of 

redemption that Dickens wrote 

and not a farce. If you listen to the 

words, Dickens had something important 

to say.” 

Beck is both the play’s director 

and producer. “My head is

Tom Brokaw once said, “It’s 

easy to make a buck. It’s a lot 

tougher to make a difference.” At 

St. Mary’s parish in Wrentham, 

volunteer Lynne Adams has been 

making a difference for ten years. 

Adams established the parish’s 

CYO basketball program and directed 

it for the last decade. After 

this season, she will step down 

and hand over the reins to someone 

else. 

When Adams’ children were 

young, they played CYO basketball 

at St. Jude in Norfolk because 

there was no CYO in Wrentham. 

As the St. Jude program grew, 

participating Wrentham residents 

were advised to start up their own 

league. Adams stepped up to the 

challenge, and continued even 

after her own children stopped 

playing. She is widely credited 

with growing the league into a 

successful and popular program 

in town.

Beck, a Norfolk resident, is a 

software developer by day, but also 

has a degree in musical theatre from 

the Boston Conservatory. She has 

performed in public theatre, King 

Richard’s Faire, Attleboro Community 

Theatre, and numerous other 

theatrical organizations. 

That period of time, she says, 

was “life 1.0.” Marriage and parenthood 

and the subsequent responsibilities 

forced her to put her passion 

for the footlights on hold. Her last 

theatrical performance was in 2004. 

Beck is hoping “A Christmas 

Carol” will be the impetus for a 

community theatre program in 

Norfolk. 

“If I can draw from the community 

to make that happen, then wonderful. 

If I can’t, then I will draw 

from a wider pool. I would like to 

involve the community as much as 

possible, because I think it’s a good 

thing for Norfolk.”

VOLUNTEER STEPS-DOWN 

continued from page 1 

According to St. Mary’s CYO 

board member Donna Sullivan, 

Adams “developed the program, 

recruited the volunteers, put in 

place all the systems, processes 

and communication tools necessary 

for it to succeed. She has 

continued to be the ‘go-to’ person 

for all these years, way above 

and beyond ‘director’ duties.” 

Quick to deflect praise, 

Adams says a group of parents 

simply did what they had to do 

to ensure the children of the parish 

had a place to play ball. She 

credits the work of many people 

for the program’s growth and 

success. 

CYO basketball is the youth 

basketball league run by the 

Catholic Youth Organization. 

The program’s purpose is to give 

kids the opportunity to exercise 

Christian values and responsibilities, 

all while playing basketball. 

Operating under the rules of the 

Archdiocese, CYO basketball 

programs are run by individual 

parishes. 

According to Adams, St. 

Mary’s CYO board members 

decided early on to open up the 

program to non-Catholics, looking 

beyond parish boundaries 

in a spirit of inclusiveness. The 

entire Wrentham community, 

they decided, would form their 

boundaries. Two years ago, St. 

Mary’s parish became part of 

a collaborative with St. Martha’s 

parish in Plainville, and the 

boundaries were stretched even 

further. 

“We consider the CYO basketball 

program an outreach to 

the community, so anybody in 

our community is eligible to play, 

Catholic and non-Catholic,” said 

Adams. “Our parish is there for 

the entire community, not just for 

the Catholics.” 

Adams says one of the keys 

to the program’s success is the 

many volunteer coaches, some 

who have stayed with the program 

even after their children 

no longer play. She says they are 

tasked to teach good sportsmanship, 

along with basketball skills. 

“We have pride in our teams. 

We always feel we don’t have to 

go to confession on Saturdays 

after our games,” she laughed. 

“That’s how we run the program.” 

The Reverend Bill Schmidt, 

the associate pastor at St. Mary’s, 

explained that the first CYO 

programs were established in 

1938 as a way to involve Catholic 

youth in church life through 

social, spiritual, athletic, and 

cultural activities. Most of those 

activities now take place through 

youth ministries, and CYO is 

mainly known for its sports programs, 

especially basketball. 

Adams believes the program 

has helped kids feel connected 

to their parish. “Some kids don’t 

go to church every week, but 

they’re still doing something at 

St. Mary’s,” she remarked. 

CYO basketball is considered 

a competitive, not recreational, 

league. This year, St. Mary’s has 

150 young people playing on 11 

teams. Although there are tryouts, 

the program tries not to cut 

players. If there are cuts, often 

it’s because there are not enough 

coaches. Adams says she prefers 

not to cut high school age players, 

knowing for some of them, it 

might be the last place they could 

play a sport. “It’s best to know 

where they are on a Saturday 

night,” she added. 

Board member Sullivan 

speaks to Adam’s ability to connect 

with participants and their 

parents, especially about player 

cuts. 

“Lynne has an incredible ability 

to be able to manage difficult 

and emotional situations and 

provide insight to understanding,” 

offered Sullivan. 

Sullivan also points out that 

Adams’ volunteer role is not just 

a seasonal job. “This position requires 

year-round communication,” 

Sullivan said. “She is the 

conduit to the Archdiocese, helping 

with strategic planning and 

tactical planning year to year.” 

As director, Adams recruits 

the coaches and makes sure they 

undertake mandatory church 

training. In addition, she manages 

the budget, oversees registration, 

and acts as the point person 

and outreach coordinator for the 

program and the towns of Wrentham 

and Plainville. Adams also 

oversees the scheduling of gym 

time for practices and games, no 

easy feat considering the scarcity 

of affordable places for teams 

to play and the competition for 

space with MetroWest and recreational 

basketball leagues. 

This year, Adams is helping 

to transition the program to its 

new director, Wrentham resident 

Robert Hickey, who has experience 

in running CYO basketball 

in Hyde Park. She admits she will 

probably still volunteer in some 

capacity next year because she 

finds it so rewarding. 

“You know, I’m a parishioner 

of St. Mary’s. To just drop 

it would probably be a sin,” she 

joked. 

Andy Dunne, the athletic director 

of St. Jude’s CYO basketball 

program from 2010-2015, 

said Adams has had many challenges 

as the St. Mary’s director, 

but has met those challenges with 

a smile and a sense of humor. 

“She was always a pleasure to 

work with,” related Dunne. “She 

never looked for any recognition 

and just enjoyed watching the 

games and seeing how much fun 

the kids had. Without her steadfast 

dedication, there would not 

have been a program.” 

Sullivan agreed the program 

has been so successful because 

of Adams, saying “The bottom 

line, though she is supported by a 

board, Lynne made it all happen 

on her own.” 

She added, “There are thousands 

of kids that had a place to 

play competitive ball for many 

years, because of her.”

Catholic Memorial’s Andrew 

O’Leary Captures State Golf Title 

Notre Dame-bound junior 

Andrew O’Leary cemented his 

dominance on the golf course by 

winning the MIAA Division II 

Individual State Golf Championship 

on October 31 at the Black 

Swan Country Club in Georgetown. 

O’Leary shot one under 

par, a 71 to seal the victory. 

Coming off his second-place 

finish in the Division II South 

Shore Sectional Golf Tournament, 

the Norfolk resident said 

he was pleased with his finish, but 

was focused on returning to the 

course to compete for the individual 

state title. 

cARPENTER’S 

Christmas 

dec 3 

The windy and cold weather 

of the day caused a lot of trouble 

for the golfers. O’Leary struggled 

on the first 8 holes, shooting three 

over par, but proved he is among 

the state’s best golfers by shooting 

four under par on the final 10 

holes. 

O’Leary came out on top of 

25 other area golfers to take first 

place. He was the only golfer to 

shoot under par, and his victory 

came with a three-stroke lead 

over the second-place finishers. 

O’Leary recently committed 

to the University of Notre Dame 

to play golf. 

KP Football Super 

Bowl-Bound 

By Sports Staff 

The 10-0 King Philip football 

team roared into its first MIAA 

Super Bowl appearance by 

downing foe Bridgewater-Raynham 

33-28 in the Division 1A- 

South Championship earlier this 

month. Coach Brian Lee’s Warriors 

used a punishing ground 

game complemented by a stout 

defense to wear down and hold 

off BR, earning a trip to Gillette 

Stadium to face Reading (the Division 

1A-North champion) for 

the Division 1A Super Bowl on 

December 3. The Warriors have 

been knocking on the door for 

the past few years, and this time 

they finally broke through. 

Offensively the Warriors rode 

their ground game, handing the 

ball to junior running back Shane 

Frommer 30 times and watching 

him pile up 183 yards rushing. 

Sprinkling the ball to the other 

backs gave King Philip close to 

300 yards on the ground, allowing 

them to shorten the game 

with long drives and tire out the 

BR defense. 

On the defensive side of the 

ball the Warriors held their own 

as well, continually harassing the 

BR quarterback and making big 

plays at the right time. And for 

the second game in row in their 

playoff run, junior defensive 

back Andrew Dittrich made the 

clinching interception, this time 

with less than a minute to play in 

the game to preserve the win. 

In the regular season, King 

Philip dominated the Hockomock 

League. Combining the 

stingiest defense in the league 

with a potent offense, the Warriors 

rolled undefeated to the 

Davenport Division title. Coming 

off what many felt was a down 

season last fall, King Philip has 

righted the ship and is now one 

win away from bringing home 

their first Super Bowl championship

Healthy Strategies to Survive 

the Holidays 

Each year, the holidays come 

and go, and we seem to fall into 

the same holiday trap. We overeat, 

drink too much, sleep less, 

and stress over how the holidays 

will fulfill all our expectations. 

By the time New Years arrives, 

we are overweight, exhausted, 

and worried about the bills that 

will soon arrive. This is a recipe 

for disaster that will no doubt 

lead to the breakdown of your 

health. Make this year different 

with these fabulous strategies for 

healthy holiday success.

with an 8oz glass of water. This 

will boost your metabolism and 

fill you up! 

STRATEGY #2: 

EAT SMALL MEALS 

Eat a small meal before going 

to a holiday party, so you are not 

famished when you get there. You 

will be able to make healthier 

Dr. Rochelle Bien & Dr. Michael 

Goldstein 

choices if you are not hungry. 

STRATEGY #3: 

GET MOVING 

When shopping or doing errands, 

park your car far from 

the stores. Use the stairs over the 

elevator when possible. This will 

allow you to increase your steps 

and burn more calories. Continue 

with your exercise routine 

through the holidays. DON’T 

STRAY! 

STRATEGY #4: LAUGH 

OUT LOUD 

A good belly laugh produces 

endorphins and provides stress 

relief. These hormones boost 

immune health and your mood 

as well. 

STRATEGY #5: REST UP 

The body restores itself during 

sleep. Lack of sleep can be 

stressful and impact your immune 

system. Sleep provides an 

important foundation for health 

and energy. 

For most healthy people, 

these strategies fuel a recipe for a 

healthy holiday season. However, 

if you are struggling with chronic 

health challenges, this recipe may 

not be enough. This would be 

a good time to contact Dr. Bien 

or Dr. Goldstein at The Holistic 

Center at Bristol Square located 

at 1426 Main Street, Walpole.

Pipeline Opposition Gains Traction 


Norfolk’s Board of Selectmen 

has agreed to file for intervenor 

status in Spectra Energy’s Access 

Northeast pipeline project 

slated to go through Norfolk. Intervenor 

status will give the town 

a formal role and legal options 

to act on behalf of residents if 

Spectra Energy formally files 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) to 

move the project forward. Spectra 

is likely to file with FERC 

soon. 

Spectra Energy plans to install 

a high-pressure, fracked gas 

pipeline through Massachusetts 

as part of its Access Northeast 

project. The 21-mile pipeline, 

called the Q-1 Loop, will go 

through nine towns, including 

Norfolk. Residents and activists 

against the project cite safety 

concerns as well as the environmental 

impacts in the area. 

The Access Northeast project is 

part of a bigger effort to expand 

pipeline capacity along the East 

Coast into Canada. 

On September 20, concerned 

citizens and climate activists held 

an informational meeting at the 

town library about the pipeline 

project and its potential impact 

on the town. Over 80 residents 

attended the presentation, which 

was followed by a question-andanswer 

period. Attendees were 

asked to sign a petition asking 

the town’s governing board to 

file for intervenor status. The 

petition was also made available 

online at Change.org. 

A video of the September 

20 th meeting is available at www. 

norfolkcable.com. 

According to Angela Wilcox, 

a direct abutter to the proposed 

pipeline in Norfolk, filing for 

intervenor status is just the first 

hurdle in a long process to fight 

the project. 

“Our next step is to continue 

to educate the community 

and ask town officials to take a 

position on the pipeline for the 

spring town meeting,” said Wilcox. 

Norfolk residents fighting 

the pipeline will be gathering 

signatures to put the issue on 

the May town meeting warrant, 

added Wilcox. 

The group is planning smaller 

presentations for community organizations, 

neighborhoods, or 

anyone interested in learning 

more about the pipeline and its 

impact on Norfolk. 

Residents concerned about 

the pipeline project are invited 

to attend the Norfolk group’s 

next meeting on January 12 at 7 

p.m. The group meets at Stony 

Brook Wildlife Sanctuary. Contact 

Angela Wilcox at 781-241- 

2083 for more information, or 

visit the group’s Facebook page: 

No Norfolk MA Gas Pipeline. 

Visit www.NOspectraMA.org 

for information about Spectra 

Energy’s Access Northeast project. 

The group is also looking for 

a volunteer to film the meetings, 

as well as create and edit short 

clips to be used in educating residents 

about the pipeline project. 

Norfolk Cable TV has agreed 

to train anyone interested in the 

role, and will also provide the 

equipment. Contact Wilcox for 

more information.

Ring in the Holidays with Two FPAC Original Musicals 

Franklin Performing Arts 

Company (FPAC) celebrates the 

holiday season with two original 

FPAC musicals, A Glass Slipper 

Christmas and Humbug! The productions 

are family friendly, festive, 

and full of fun. 

With a twist on the Cinderella 

fairy tale classic, A Glass Slipper 

Christmas debuts this season at 

THE BLACK BOX, located at 

15 West Central Street in downtown 

Franklin. Performances are 

on December 9 and 10 at 7:30 

p.m., with a Sunday matinee on 

December 11 at 2 p.m. The production 

follows in the tradition 

of a British panto, a type of show 

that retells a well-known fairy 

tale in an exaggerated style filled 

with audience participation, 

popular music, slapstick comedy, 

jokes, dances, and 

more. Audiences 

are invited to cheer 

for the hero, boo at 

the villain, and sing 

along with some of 

their favorite songs. 

The panto also entertains 

with double 

entendre, references 

to modern culture, 

and open satire of 

other works. 

FPAC’s large-cast holiday musical, 

Humbug!, will be presented

Trends in Home Design 

Doug Masters 

By Doug Masters 

Design Tech Innovations 

We are in an age of technology. 

The tech world is constantly 

evolving these days--just when 

you think they’ve done it all, 

there’s a new app you can install 

on your phone that makes 

life a little easier. Rewind to forty 

years ago-- computers and high 

tech gadgets were just starting to 

take off. Anyone from the 70’s 

remembers PONG, one of the 

first home video games. Now, the 

technology has evolved so much 

that you can now send a message 

to somebody on the other side of 

the world in a matter of seconds. 

How cool is that? In our industry 

of remodeling and design, we 

have been able to benefit from 

these technological advancements 

as well. Here’s a look at some 

cool technology innovations that 

have improved the design and 

remodeling industry. 

Design Software 

Home improvement shows are 

all the rage right now, and one of 

the star features is the computer 

rendering of the proposed designs. 

It’s incredible to see a designer’s 

vision in striking detail in a video 

rendering and then see that vision 

come to life. While there are certainly 

some embellishments on the 

renderings you see on TV (many 

of those programs are created 

just for the TV world), in reality, 

software used by most architects 

and design build firms is coming 

close to matching what you see on 

slickly produced TV shows. 

One outstanding example is 

Chief Architect. While not recommended 

as a DIY software 

(although their website begs to 

differ), this is a product used by 

many local firms. Chief Architect 

Software is computer aided design 

software for the home design and 

building industry. Chief Architect 

was originally released way back 

in 1992, but in the last few years, 

improvements have made it much 

more user friendly, and the graphics 

rendering ability of the product 

is outstanding. 

Gone are the days of hand 

drawn blue prints where design 

changes can take multiple meetings 

and weeks to deliver. Once 

a structure is built as a 3D model 

in Chief Architect, then moving 

walls, windows, doors and interior 

design elements such as furniture 

and lighting can be done real time 

during meetings with clients. This 

literally saves months of work during 

the design and development 

phase of a project. 

Chief Architect covers all aspects 

of design from construction 

and framing documents, cabinetry 

and millwork, to interior design 

elements, paint colors, counters, 

flooring, and even furniture. Designers 

can import custom items 

and add them to the design for a 

realistic vision of your project. It 

is truly changing the design world. 

Smart Phones 

The mainstream introduction 

of smart phones in the late 2000s 

brought forth even more improvements 

for our industry. Even 

something as simple as the built-in 

camera and ability to send a picture 

instantly on a smart phone 

has made managing construction 

infinitely more efficient. Project 

foremen can collaborate with customers 

and designers who cannot 

be on site “real time” when they 

need an answer in order to keep a 

job moving. 

Moving to applications, there 

are great new visual tools to envision 

what your home will look like 

with new siding and a new color, 

or what a paint color might look 

like on your walls. It is as simple as 

snapping a few pictures and letting 

the app do the work! 

JamesHardie, manufacturer 

of the #1 ranked cement siding 

in the USA, has teamed with a 

company called Hover. This application 

will provide accurate 

measurements and a rendering of 

a home. This helps siding companies 

provide accurate budgets and 

a sneak peek at what your home 

will look like with new JamesHardie 

siding. 

Production teams in the field 

can install measuring applications 

that will help generate materials 

lists, assist with framing plans, calculate 

angles or room dimensions, 

and more. 

And of course, there is the 

flashlight app on almost every 

phone these days. Simple, and 

used almost every day! 

Online Resources 

Remember buying magazines 

and marking pages or cutting out 

pictures when planning a home 

project? Well, maybe not if you 

are under 30! Today, planning 

your project starts online. From 

finding a design build firm, to creating 

idea books with inspiration 

photos, to researching appliances, 

furniture and other decorative 

finishes, and everything in between-- 

everything you need is at 

your fingertips online. As with design 

software, online research and 

shopping saves lots of time and 

streamlines the design process. 

If you are planning a home 

improvement project or to build a 

new home, one of the best websites 

is HOUZZ.COM. Houzz 

is a website and online community 

about architecture, interior 

design and decorating, landscape 

design and home improvement. 

The Houzz platform and mobile 

apps [2] feature photos, articles, 

product recommendations, and a 

user forum. On Houzz, you can 

browse over 12 million pictures, 

find a designer or contractor, and 

shop for finish materials for your 

home. Finding inspiration photos 

and sharing them with your design 

time will make collaboration 

a breeze and will help your designers 

to understand your vision! 

Online Collaboration 

Let’s face it, everybody is overbooked. 

Work, kids, gym, school, 

church, friends … when do you 

ever get off the “treadmill of life”? 

For many, weekends are reserved 

for kids’ sports or recitals. Nights? 

You’ve got kids’ practices! It’s 

hard to carve out time to focus 

on a major home project--but it 

is critically important. When I’m 

dealing with a client who cannot 

focus on a project or invest a little 

of their time and energy, it’s a 

red flag. Those are the folks who 

rush through everything and then 

end up complaining because they 

think the project wasn’t planned to 

their liking. 

Fortunately, technology is helping 

solve this problem. With Go 

To Meeting and other live meeting 

software, presentations can 

be done from anywhere at any 

time. This makes a world of difference 

during the design and 

development phase of a project, 

and it ensures all parties are on 

the same page. Sometimes, emails 

and calls are just not enough to 

solve problems and collaborate on 

design details. 

Speaking of emails, you’ll 

also see a major reduction in the 

amount of email used as online 

collaboration becomes the standard 

of the industry for project 

management. While this has already 

happened in many industries 

with larger corporations, the 

design and remodeling industry 

is just now starting to embrace 

this great technology. A perfect 

example is the Microsoft 365 

platform. With this product, each 

project or customer has an online 

“newsfeed” where all communications 

and files are stored. The 

communications are much like a 

Facebook newsfeed, so it is easy to 

track all communications among a 

team of designers, project managers, 

and customers and refer back 

to the feed later if there are questions. 

Clearly, the technology advancements 

over the past ten years 

have drastically improved the design-build 

industry. We can’t wait 

to see what the next ten years may 

hold!

King Philip Marching Band Wins National Championship 

By Ian Proffer 

Contributing Writer 

On November 12, the King 

Philip Regional High School 

Marching Band competed in the 

USBands National Championship, 

held at Meadowlands Stadium 

in Rutherford, NJ. For the 

second consecutive year, the band 

took top honors in the Division 

III Open group. 

King Philip also swept what 

are called “caption” awards: Best 

Percussion, Best Color Guard, 

Best Visual, Best Overall Effect 

and Best Music 

The 2016 show, “Bella Rosa,” 

featured tango music and other 

selections from Carlos Gardel, 

Mitch Leigh (Man of La Mancha), 

Arturo Marquez and 

Michael Gandolfi (Vientos y 

Tangos). 

The students, after months of 

practice, were thrilled with their 

accomplishments. 

Senior pit member Jake Webster 

said, “Finals was a great way 

to end a season of lots of hard 

work and a fantastic way to cap 

my final year in the marching 

band.” 

Added Austin Crabtree, 

“Being a senior this year, it was 

wonderful to see all the students, 

especially the younger ones, blossom 

as the year went on. They 

truly rose to the challenge.” 

Senior Nora Johnson, a drum 

major, described the impact the 

music program has had on her. 

“Over the past five years, being in 

the program has helped me grow 

not just musically but as a human 

being. It’s an experience that I’ll 

take with me as I move on to the 

next stage of life,” she said. “It’s 

an experience I wish everyone 

could have.” 

Joshua Wolloff, KP High 

School’s music director, acknowledged 

that the talents of the 

music students, as well as the assistance 

of the parents and community 

members in the program, 

contributed to the group’s success. 

“It was clear early on that 

we had an exceptional group of 

students,” said Wolloff. “We are 

very fortunate to have the support 

of the community. There is an incredible 

group of parents who do 

everything from sew flags, build 

and move props, to chaperone 

trips to name a few. Once again 

we have an incredibly dedicated 

staff who truly care about the students’ 

experience.” 

The King Philip Warriors’ 

Marching Band, known 

as “the Pride and the Passion,” 

features 66 middle and high 

school students from 8th through 

12th grade. King Philip Regional 

High serves the towns of Wrentham, 

Plainville and Norfolk. 

USBands has grown to become 

the largest competitive 

marching band circuit in the 

nation. Each fall more than 700 

schools participate in over 150 

local, regional, state and national 

marching competitions.

Glaucoma: What It Is and How to Treat It 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Glaucoma is a progressive 

disease of the optic nerve which 

works like a cable, connecting 

the eye and the brain. Glaucoma 

happens when the pressure inside 

the eye is higher than the optic 

nerve can withstand. The most 

common form of glaucoma is 

silent in the beginning, but can 

cause a patient to slowly lose the 

vision if left untreated, starting 

with the peripheral vision. The 

most frustrating characteristic of 

glaucoma is that for many years, 

the loss of vision will go unnoticed 

by a patient. 

Although anyone can get 

glaucoma, some people are at 

higher risk than others. Some 

of the most common risk factors 

include: African Americans, over 

age 40, people with a family history 

of glaucoma and patients 

with diabetes. 

Almost 2% of Americans

have been diagnosed with glaucoma. 

Approximately 1/4th of 

those diagnosed with glaucoma 

are African Americans. Worldwide, 

2.4 million people per year 

are diagnosed with glaucoma. 

The prevalence of glaucoma 

increases with age. By the year 

2020, it is estimated that the 

number of patients diagnosed 

with glaucoma will increase by 

50% to 3.6 million patients. 

Glaucoma accounts for approximately 

12% of all new cases of 

legal blindness each year. 

The optic nerve is like a cable 

made up of over 1 million nerve 

fibers that carry the information 

collected by your eye (retina) to 

the visual cortex of the brain for 

processing. Glaucoma slowly decreases 

the ability of your optic 

nerve to carry this information to 

your brain. 

The buildup of pressure, 

in your eye, causes glaucoma. 

There are currently two basic 

theories as to why excessive ocular 

pressure causes glaucoma. 

Either high intra-ocular pressure 

decreases blood flow to the optic 

nerve, or high pressure, over 

time, physically crushes and kills 

the individual nerve fibers. 

At first, open-angle glaucoma 

has no symptoms. Vision stays 

normal, and there is no pain. 

As glaucoma remains untreated, 

people may notice that although 

they see things clearly in front of 

them, they miss objects to the side 

and out of the corner of their 

eye. It may seem as though they 

are looking through a tunnel. 

Over time, the remaining vision 

may decrease until there is no 

vision left. Optic nerve damage 

caused by glaucoma is permanent; 

therefore, it is important to 

seek treatment in the early stages 

of the disease. Most people think 

that they have glaucoma if the 

pressure in their eye is high. This 

is not always true. High pressure 

puts you at a higher risk for glaucoma; 

however, an elevated pressure 

by itself does not make the 

diagnosis of glaucoma. Whether 

or not you get glaucoma depends 

on the level of pressure that your 

optic nerve can tolerate without 

being damaged. This level is different 

for each person. Although 

normal pressure is usually said to 

be between 12-21 mm Hg, a person 

might have glaucoma even if 

the pressure is in this range. That 

is why an eye examination is very

important. 

A patient being evaluated for 

glaucoma will typically have a 

dilated eye exam to look at the 

shape of the optic disk; gonioscopy: 

in which a lens is used to 

evaluate the trabecular meshwork 

where the fluid in the eye 

exits the eye; tonometry: which 

measures the pressure in the eye; 

pachymetry: which measures the 

thickness of the cornea; fundus 

photos; pictures of the eye are 

helpful to look for changes in the 

appearance of the optic nerve 

over time; visual field testing: 

which measures the peripheral 

vision and optical coherence tomography 

(OCT): to measure 

the thickness of the nerve layer 

transmitting the image to the 

brain. Recently, more advanced 

technology like Visual-Evoked 

Potential (VEP) and electroretinograms 

(ERG) have been found 

to be useful in making the diagnosis 

of glaucoma in more challenging 

cases. 

Glaucoma is a lifelong disease 

that will always require treatment. 

Glaucoma is much like hypertension 

and diabetes. We can 

control these diseases, however 

we cannot, as of yet, cure them. 

Today there are numerous ophthalmic 

medications available to 

us in the treatment of glaucoma. 

Some are eye drops that are used

Living Healthy 

I Can See Clearly Now, the 

FAT is Gone! 

To successfully drop those 

excess pounds, 46-year-old Tom 

McAullife knew he needed a defined 

weight loss program. Between 

his hectic work schedule 

as president of WMRC Radio, 

1490 AM, in Milford, and an 

active home life with his wife 

and three teenage sons, a clear 

plan was the only answer. He 

was already familiar with New 

England Fat Loss as an advertiser 

on his station and from 

friends who shared their successful 

results. In July, he and his wife 

joined at the Hopkinton location. 

“I needed a program to follow,” 

McAullife said. “I have all 

this exercise equipment in the 

basement, but without someone 

like Dr. Johns and his staff, 

it wasn’t going to happen. I 

can be extremely disciplined 

if you give me a road map.” 

McAullife made the right choice. 

After only 27 days on the program 

he lost 30 pounds. The 

The Norfolk Lions, the Norfolk 

Public Schools and the

bonus was, the effect on how his 

new menu plan fueled his body. 

“By the time I got literally seven 

days into it, I could feel my metabolism 

on fire,” McAullife said. 

“I felt like whatever I was eating 

was getting burned up, the 

water was getting washed out.” 

McAullife admits shedding the 

weight was the initial goal, but 

he also joined NEFL to influence 

other aspects of his life. His 

demanding schedule promoted 

poor eating habits, and he felt 

a loss of control. Before joining 

NEFL, his body took charge, 

driving his actions, attitude and 

even sleep habits. After only 

one month, everything changed. 

“What I really wanted most of all 

is clarity,” McAullife said. “With 

a busy family and stressful, crazy 

work schedule, and feeling lousy 

because of eating bad food every 

day, I felt like I had lost clarity 

and organization in my head.” 

Since his success with New England 

Fat Loss, McAullife experiences 

a good night’s rest, free of 

previous sleep apnea and snoring 

and wakes at 5 a.m. to prepare 

the day’s schedules. A restful 

sleep is even more vital when 

approximately 230,000 people 

rely on him and his station to 

stay informed with their local 

news, weather, traffic, music, 

religious and consumer programming 

and sports coverage. 

“I feel so good, it is simply 

amazing. The only thing I can 

point to is because of my experience 

with New England 

Fat Loss,” McAullife said.

England Fat Loss’ convenient locations:

General Manager, was excited 

to point out some of the positive 

changes that are occurring with 

the remodeling. “It’s on the same 

footprint,” Marshalsea explained, 

“The entrances are ADA compliant 

with ramps that make it easier 

for anyone to come inside to soak 

up the warmth of this local pub 

with an Irish twist.” She continued, 

“Once the Red Rooster was 

a ‘shot and a beer’ kind of place, 

but now it’s not just a pub. We’re 

emphasizing the quality of the 

food.” 

The menu items are mouthwatering 

steak tips, always a staple, 

are on the menu. Specialty 

burgers and new specialty pizzas 

are among the offerings, as 

well as other old favorites such as 

turkey tips. You may want to try 

their popular Irish-themed dishes 

such as Irish Nachos (homemade 

potato chips doused with cheese, 

bacon, scallions, and sour cream);

an Irish flavor. The decor will reflect 

the owner’s heritage as well. 

Music is and always has been 

an important piece of the puzzle 

for them, with the jukebox constantly 

playing everyone’s favorites. 

Look for live music to be 

playing during the week at the 

Red Rooster. “We’re still working 

on the lineup,” noted Marshalsea, 

“but we’ll have live music 

playing here for sure.” 

During our visit, we learned 

of a number of charitable events 

that have taken place at the Red 

Rooster. Marshalsea is looking 

toward the pub’s reopening when 

they will again be a drop-off location 

for “Toys for Tots.” They 

hold a meat raffle once a month, 

with past proceeds from the raffle 

going to Home Start, an organization 

based in Boston that benefits 

homeless veterans. (https:// 

homestart.org/). When the Red 

Rooster’s remodeling began, all 

the wall decorations were raffled 

off and the proceeds went to the 

LaBonte Fund to benefit Wrentham 

policeman George LaBonte 

and his family. (https://www.gofundme.com/rrx8heqk). 

“We’ve been a part of the 

community for years,” Marshalsea 

explained. “Giving back is 

an important part of the business 

for owner John Carroll. This 

has been a favorite local spot for 

years, and the business has picked 

up in the past year, so we want to 

keep up the momentum.” 

So come on down to see all 

the changes, catch up with folks 

you haven’t seen for a while, or 

make some new friends. Hours of

division. Defense was a hallmark 

for the Warriors, with a back four 

of senior captains Cam Mullins 

and Ryan Coulter in the middle, 

flanked by juniors Larsen Keys 

and Jack Bush. These four stood 

tall in front of senior goalkeeper 

Eli O’Neill, who notched a 

school-record 16 shutouts. 

Not to be outdone by the defense, 

the offense piled up goals at 

an impressive rate. Lead by senior 

Colby Koch (2 nd in the league in 

scoring), junior Tom Lugten, and 

sophomore Tony Bozza, the King 

Philip offense was always a threat 

to blow any game open. And 

like the defense, the offense was 

clearly the class of the league, as 

its 44 goals play easily outpaced 

all the other competing squads. 

Tying the offense and defense 

together were a trio of outstanding 

junior midfielders. Tyler 

Mann provided an offensive

punch from his midfield position, 

leading the league in scoring 

and earning Hockomock League 

MVP honors for his efforts. Connor 

Mullins provided a calming 

influence, settling balls and distributing 

passes all over the field. 

Mike Rowe provided a little bit of 

everything, getting up to make his 

presence known in the offensive 

half and working hard to get back 

and help out on defense. Midfield 

play was truly the glue that held 

this team together. 

While this season will be tough 

to match, the cupboard won’t be 

bare for head coach Nick Gale 

when practice starts again next 

August. The seven returning 

starters will be joined by a number 

of reserves who received valuable 

experience this year and will 

be looking to make their mark 

next season. The future looks 

bright for King Philip soccer.

The fresh trees come from 

northern Maine, and include 

Balsam and Frasier Firs, as well 

as wreaths. The Lions will also 

be selling tree bags and tree life 

preservative to promote needle 

retention and keep the trees fresh

years of growing time and professional 

care to bring a Christmas 

tree to harvest. 

All of the proceeds from the 

sale of the trees go right back 

into the Norfolk community and 

to various Lions charities. “Monies 

that the Lions generate go to 

seed such research as blindness 

prevention, diabetes prevention

Two Sisters – Two Styles – One Dream 

Looking for something fabulous? 

Whether it is an eye-catching 

outfit, accessory, a one-of-a-kind 

piece of home décor or handpainted 

gift, you are unlikely to 

find a collection of items quite 

like Rustic and Chic: A Sisters’ 

Boutique, located in Norfolk at 

114C Pond Street (near the corner 

of Routes 115 and 1A). 

“We are as different in personalities 

as we are in styles,” says 

fashion-forward Kim Ringuette, 

who has partnered with her sister 

and artist, Corinne Parker, 

former owner of Walpole’s The 

Primitive Window. 

When asked how the idea of 

the store came about, Kim explains 

that a bell went off when 

she and her aunt ventured into a 

small boutique a year and a half 

ago. “I found myself thinking 

about the changes I would make 

if I were the owner, and also how 

my sister has always wanted to 

open up another store, and suddenly 

I thought, how crazy would 

it be if we brought the two styles 

together? I knew we could find a 

way as sisters and best friends to 

make it work.” 

The resulting shop, an eclectic 

treasure trove of high-end fashion 

and every day wear seamlessly 

presented against a cozy backdrop 

including Corinne’s creations, 

physically illustrates how 

the concept of chic need not be 

relegated to Fifth Avenue. 

“It is one of those places you 

can come in and get a fabulous 

holiday dress or date outfit – or 

a special hand-painted personal 

gift,” says Kim. “We have brought 

our two worlds together with a 

‘living boutique’ that changes 

and evolves, so it is always a fun 

experience.” 

Everything in the quaint little 

Cape-style building is designed 

to be “touchable, made to try on, 

even to bend down and take a 

peek under the tables or look in a 

drawer to see what you can find,” 

says Kim. “New and different 

items will constantly be added, 

and nearly everything in the shop 

is for sale.” 

Corinne has, in fact, made or 

refinished many of the furniture 

pieces in the store which are for 

sale, a labor of love she calls her 

“therapy.” She says she found 

her calling in primitive style and 

the folk art of tole painting, and 

what started as a few small signs 

and projects grew into furniture 

and custom orders. “I love the 

older look, the rustic look,” says 

Corinne, of her art. “I basically 

redo every single thing that I 

touch. It makes me feel good to 

stand back and think I created 

that.” She says she hopes Rustic 

and Chic’s clientele will feel 

a similar satisfaction when they 

bring home her creations, from

Sports 

Furfari a Leader for KP Girls Ice Hockey 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Staff Sports Writer 

Growing up with hockey all 

around her because of her father, 

it was no wonder that Elizabeth 

Furfari would gravitate toward 

the sport and eventually take to 

the ice for her high school team, 

the King Philip Warriors. 

“I began playing around three 

years old. I had originally started 

with figure skates, but my father, 

who not only played hockey in 

high school, but was coaching 

it at the time, switched them to 

hockey skates,” the KP junior 

right winger said. “I would always 

watch the Boston Bruins games 

with my father and that’s when I 

knew that I wanted to play.” 

The young Furfari began skating 

with the King Philip/Walpole 

local team before moving 

onto the Walpole Rebels and the 

Boston Terriers, where she played 

one year for each team. While 

playing with the Terriers, the program 

decided to go to a boys-only 

team and Furfari then hooked up 

with the Walpole Spitfires, an organization 

that was among the 

best for competition according to 

the KP winger. 

Around the age of 10 Furfari 

realized that hockey was not only 

a sport for enjoyment, but one 

in which she found herself to be 

rather good at. It was then that 

she decided to work on improving 

her game so that she could play 

on the high school squad. 

“With my Dad in the driveway 

I would do drills, which correlated 

well to when I actually got 

on the ice,” she said. “I started 

becoming comfortable with my 

stick handling as well as my puck 

control.” 

When the time came to try out 

for the high school team, she was 

nervous but wanted nothing less 

than a spot on the Warrior team. 

“I went into those tryouts caring 

a lot about making the team. I 

put everything that I had into that 

tryout,” she said. “When I made 

the team I was happy with the 

end results.” 

The end results landed her on 

the Warrior’s top line with two 

of her friends, Casey Curtin and 

Kate Holmes. The trio worked 

exceptionally well together and 

each notched similar numbers 

throughout the year. 

Unfortunately, during her 

sophomore campaign Holmes 

left KP, leaving a vacancy on the 

first line. Coach Jack Unger 

kept Curtin and Furfari paired 

together, while switching back 

and forth between Ally Wilson 

and Megan Gorman as the third 

member of the first line. 

“Casey and I worked well together 

having played on the same 

team (KP/Walpole),” Furfari 

said. “By this point we knew each 

other’s tendencies and once we 

figured out each other’s game, we 

worked off that.” 

Having no seniors on this 

year’s team, Unger is relying on 

his juniors to play the role of the 

upper classmen on the ice. 

“Playing in her third year, Elizabeth 

has always shown she’s a 

very good player with her skating 

and shooting ability,” the coach 

said. “I think she’s beginning to 

come into her own. In the past 

there was too much engine, but 

now she’s catching up with it and 

has improved her footwork and 

stick handling.” 

Last year Furfari was the 

team’s number two scorer behind 

her line mate and 100-point 

scorer Curtin. However, with 

Curtin moving on, it’s time for 

Furfari to take the reins and lead 

the Warriors on the ice. According 

to Unger, there are only two 

100-point scorers for girls hockey 

in KP’s eight-year program history. 

Furfari has the potential to 

be the next. 

“I’m not exactly sure where 

she stands at this point, but she is 

only a junior and has two years to 

play – there is no doubt that she 

could be the next one to eclipse 

that mark,” the KP Coach said. 

“This year I’ll be looking at her 

to be a leader on that top line; setting 

the pace not only for her line, 

but the rest of the team as well.” 

Over the past three seasons 

the Warriors have continued to 

advance into the Girls Division 

2 Hockey Tournament, but unfortunately 

KP has not been able 

to get out of the first round. The 

year before Furfari’s arrival, KP 

fell 5-3 to Cohasset. Two years 

ago, the team went into the tournament 

with a 15-0-3 record as 

the number one seed and was 

upset 4-1 by Winchester. Last 

winter the team was shutout by 

Plymouth 4-0. This season the 

Warriors want to right their past. 

“I want to take to the ice and 

contribute to this team to the best 

of my ability; working the puck 

into the offensive zone, but being 

able to get back on defense when 

needed,” the junior right winger 

said. “As a team, we all know our 

place and I am trusting Coach 

Unger will put the best players on 

the first line. Having been to the 

tournament my first two years, I 

want to get this team back again, 

but with much improved results.” 

If the Warrior right winger, 

who loves to play aggressive and 

score goals, can elevate her team 

to the next level, King Philip can 

quite possibly be looking at their 

first-ever tournament win come 

early next year. 

Dean Men’s Soccer Season Ends at 

USCAA National Tournament 

The Dean College men’s 

soccer team ended their season 

with an outstanding 17-2 record. 

In its first year as a fouryear 

program, the team earned 

an at-large bid as the number 

four seed in the United States 

Collegiate Athletic Association’s 

(USCAA) National Tournament 

held in Virginia Beach, Virginia 

November 10-14, 2016. 

The Bulldogs were placed in 

Pool D of the preliminary round 

with Florida National University, 

the fifth seed, and Berkeley

College of New Jersey, the ninth 

seed. 

On Thursday, November 10, 

Dean fell short to FNU with a 

final score of 2-1. Dean’s Justin 

Freitas scored with fifteen minutes 

to go in the contest. 

To advance to the semifinals 

on Sunday, the Bulldogs had to 

defeat Berkeley (NJ) on Friday, 

November 11 and Berkeley (NJ) 

had to defeat FNU on Saturday, 

November 12. 

The Bulldogs soundly defeated 

Berkeley (NJ), 6-0. Pepe 

Vieira scored two goals to lead 

all Dean scorers as the Bulldogs 

raced to a 4-0 halftime lead. 

However, the outcome was not 

favorable for Berkeley (NJ), who 

were defeated on Saturday by 

FNU 6-0, ending Dean’s tournament 

journey. 

Besides their 16-1 record, the 

Dean Bulldogs were first in the 

USCAA in goals (99), assists (77) 

and goals against average (0.18), 

giving up only three goals all 

year. 

Additionally, four members 

of the team (Brendan Pacheco, 

Isaac DeSouza, Justin Freitas 

and Murilo Zanette) were 

recognized at the USCAA 

Championship banquet for 

making the Men’s Soccer 

National All-Academic Team.

New KP Boys Hoop Coach Optimistic 

about Playoff Chances 

By Ken Hamwey 

Staff Sports Writer 

The King Philip boys basketball 

team will open its season at 

home against Milford on Tuesday, 

Dec. 13, and that matchup should 

provide new coach Mark Champagne 

with some idea about his 

Warriors’ ability to achieve several 

goals he firmly believes are 

realistic. 

The 60-year-old Champagne, 

who led Ashland High to a Tri- 

Valley League championship 

during his six years at the helm, 

expects his forces to qualify for 

tourney play and to compete for 

the Kelley-Rex Division crown. 

But he’s acutely aware that those 

objectives will be met only “if 

a healthy culture is developed.’’ 

And, that consists of a team-first 

mentality with all players contributing. 

“Our kids wear T-shirts that 

say three towns, one community,’’ 

Champagne noted, referring to 

Wrentham, Plainville and Norfolk. 

“KP draws players from those 

three towns but I want our kids to 

aspire to make our team feel like it 

represents one community. 

Champagne, who’s lived in 

Wrentham for the last 13 years, 

likes the quality of the players 

he’s inherited from last year’s 

5-15 squad and he’s convinced 

they can qualify for the playoffs. 

“We’ve got six players back with 

varsity experience,’’ he said. “And, 

we’ve got players who have a desire 

to succeed. They’ve done a 

lot of off-season work and the 

team chemistry is good. We’ve 

got depth and we’ve got players 

who’ve got good technique.’’ 

The Warriors three senior 

captains — Noah Goodwin, Seth 

Sullivan, and Will Weir — all have 

leadership qualities and Champagne 

views them as solid role 

models. 

“Noah is a second-year captain 

who’ll play small forward at 6-3,’’ 

Champagne said. “He’s a very 

strong inside player with good 

skills. Seth is a six-foot shooting 

guard who has worked extremely 

hard during the off-season and 

has developed good skills. He’s a 

terrific outside shooter. Will is another 

second-year captain who’ll 

play power forward at 6-2. He 

competes hard and has a great 

work ethic.’’ 

Sophomore Kyle Layman, 

a 6-foot-4 forward, is a returning 

starter who has huge upside. 

“Kyle is our best rebounder and 

best defensive player,’’ Champagne 

said. “He’s athletic and has 

a high hoop IQ. His offensive skills 

and confidence are improving at a 

rapid pace.’’ 

Three seniors Champagne 

hopes will be major contributors 

are Tom Sullivan (6-5 center), 

Pharoah Davis (5-11 guard), and 

Matt Lehoullier (5-11 guard). 

“Tom is a good passer and he has 

a strong inside presence,’’ Champagne 

noted. “Pharoah is a returning 

starter, he’s athletic and a 

good ball-handler who can drive. 

He just needs to be more efficient. 

Matt has a good IQ on the court 

and is a solid all-round player who 

is strong on defense. He just needs 

to develop confidence.’’ 

Three juniors who’ll get playing 

time are Tom Madden (6-4 

small forward), Justin Vine (6-1 

shooting guard) and Nolan Bradley 

(5-10 guard). “Tom is athletic 

with good length,’’ Champagne 

said. “He’s an inside or outside 

player. Justin has become a good 

all-around player because of his 

work in the off season, and Nolan 

is a smart player who’s solid on the 

defensive end.’’ 

The new staff at KP will include 

varsity assistant Steve Linehan, 

who was with Champagne at 

Ashland; Michael Vine, the jayvee 

coach; and freshman coach Nick 

Glabicky. 

Champagne, who is KP’s 

fourth head coach in the last 

seven years, has paid his dues at 

a variety of venues. He started his 

career as an assistant at UMass- 

Dartmouth and later worked for 

one season as an assistant with the 

Boston University women’s team 

before taking the head-coaching 

reins at Bridgewater State, where 

his teams compiled .500 records 

during a 10-year span. 

Leaving Bridgewater to focus 

on his painting business, Champagne, 

who is married and the 

father of two, later got the urge to 

return to coaching, spending two 

years as an assistant at Taunton. 

He returned to the head-coaching 

ranks at Ashland in 2010 where 

his squads compiled a 70-54 record. 

“If kids have a passion for basketball, 

then it’s my job to fuel it,’’ 

he said. 

A familiar face because of his 

volunteer work with the Wrentham 

Recreation Department, 

Champagne is very pragmatic in 

his approach, utilizing a threeprong 

philosophy that allows winning 

to take care of itself. 

“It’s imperative that the basketball 

court be an extension of the 

classroom,’’ he emphasized. “Secondly, 

players should reach their 

potential as positively as possible, 

and I strive to develop our players 

to be good citizens. If those three 

situations are fostered, then winning 

will follow.’’ 

Hosting Milford on opening 

night could be the barometer that 

points to the KP boys basketball 

team making a comeback for the 

2016-17 campaign.

cookies and treats and receive 

hugs and kisses from the residents. 

Shhhhh, don’t tell Mrs. Claus! 

Santa’s parade will begin at

Holiday Open House at Old Fiske Museum on December 3 

Community Organizations Team Up to Host Festive Celebration 

A Holiday Open House featuring art 

and historical exhibits will bring seasonal 

cheer and merriment to the Old Fiske 

Museum on Saturday, December 3 from 

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is co-sponsored 

by the Wrentham Cultural Council 

and Wrentham Historical Commission, 

who share the Old Fiske Museum facility 

located off the town common at 55 East 

St., Wrentham. 

Originally known as the Old Fiske Library, 

the building was built in 1894 as 

the town’s first free library. Resplendent 

with period architecture, it was Wrentham’s 

library until the 1990s when the 

new Fiske library on Randall Road replaced 

it. The building has since been 

repurposed as a town museum and art 

gallery, complete with handicapped accessible 

doorways and bathrooms. It 

hosts a variety of gallery exhibits and 

open houses throughout the year. 

Exhibiting artists and representatives 

from the Wrentham Cultural Council 

will be at the Holiday Open House to 

greet visitors. Representatives from the 

Wrentham Historical Commission will 

be on hand to answer questions about 

artifacts of historical significance on display, 

which showcase Wrentham’s rich 

history. 

The Old Fiske Museum will be festively 

dressed for the holidays thanks to 

decorations and arrangements created 

by the Sohoanno Garden Club. All ages 

are welcome to enjoy this free and festive 

community event. 

Artists interested in exhibit space may

Norfolk Boy Scouts Donate to Fire & Police Departments 

By Jane Lebak 

Boy Scout Troop 80 has 

long been a part of the fabric 

of Norfolk, both receiving from 

the community and giving back 

to it as part of its charter. At a 

ceremony this past November 6, 

Troop 80 presented generous financial 

donations to the Norfolk 

Fire Department and the Norfolk 

Police Department. 

In the past, the Boy Scouts 

have donated to the Federated 

Church of Norfolk where they 

hold their meetings, to the Norfolk 

public library, and to the Boy 

Scouts Old Colony Council. 

“One of the basis of Scouts 

is a sense of purpose and a sense 

of community: to serve. This is 

a great way that they can show 

their appreciation,” says Peter 

O’Neil, assistant Scout leader 

and current troop treasurer. 

“When we talked about where to 

donate, first responders were our 

highest priority. There was not 

even a hesitation.” 

Troop 80 has recently engaged 

in a Purpose Driven fundraising 

campaign, raising money primarily 

through the sales of chocolate 

bars ($2 apiece) and Christmas 

tree pickup. They donated $2500 

each to the Police Department 

and to the Fire Department. 

That’s a lot of chocolate. 

“Some of our funding comes 

from many years of effort from 

past Scouts, so we’re giving in 

their honor and to recognize the 

young Scouts. This is also the 

beauty of having a troop whose 

needs have been met,” says 

O’Neil. “We’ve got the equipment 

we need for camping, the 

facility for our meetings, and 

last spring we got jackets for all 

of them to wear proudly. Our 

next level is to give where else it’s 

needed.” 

Fire Chief Coleman Bushnell 

is proud of Norfolk’s Boy Scouts 

and their generosity. “The community-minded 

spirit of the Boy 

Scouts is shown by their gracious 

donation to the Fire Department. 

During their meeting, when they 

made the presentation, it was 

obvious that they were enthusiastic.” 

Bushnell adds, “Even more 

importantly, you could see the

enthusiasm and commitment of 

the parents.” 

The Fire Department has 

conducted programs with the 

Boy Scouts in the past. Chief 

Bushnell says, “Our Community 

Service lieutenant, Mike Findlen, 

will periodically do programs 

with them, sometimes work for 

community badges. We had one 

Scout who did a GIS study for 

location of fire hydrants in the 

town. We passed that info along

to the Department of Public 

Works, and that was really helpful.” 

The donation was presented 

to the Police and Fire Departments 

with no restrictions on how 

they use the money, only that 

they would use it for the safety of 

their team and the protection of 

the community. 

“Not for copy paper,” O’Neil 

says with a laugh. “They have a 

budget for that.” 

More choice. More reason to call us.

The Fire Department is working 

to determine the best use 

of the Boy Scouts’ gift. “We’ll 

use it in line with their request 

that it was for the safety of the 

first responders,” says Bushnell. 

“Whether we use it for a training 

program or to buy a piece 

of equipment not funded by the 

town, that’s up in the air.” 

Troop 80 has a long history 

in Norfolk. Chief of Police 

Charles Stone Junior mentioned 

during the award ceremony that 

his father was a Boy Scout troop 

leader, as was his grandfather before 

him. 

“The hard part is,” says 

Peter O’Neil, “where do we go 

next?” Troop 80, which is very 

active and will honor its 100th 

Eagle Scout in a court of honor 

next spring, is already looking 

to its next donation. One possible 

cause would be children uprooted 

from dangerous situations 

and thrust into the foster care 

system. “Sometimes they have 

only a paper bag,” says O’Neil. 

In his speech during the award 

ceremony, he mentioned that the 

troop was considering the purchase 

of “luggage for children 

caught up in the foster care program 

who do not have a place for 

their belongings when they have 

to move from home to home.” 

Whatever the future holds, 

Troop 80 will continue its efforts 

to build character and invest in 

the Norfolk community. “It’s not 

just about raising funds,” says 

O’Neil, “but putting thought into 

action.”
