Hopedale Girl Scout Troop #71010 

Earns Silver Award 

Members of Cadette Troop 

#71010 were awarded the Silver 

Award this past week by 

Girl Scouts of Central & Western 

Massachusetts. The Silver 

Award is the highest award a 

Girl Scout Cadette can earn. 

Each girl must complete the 

“Amaze” Journey which was 

about relationships , bullying 

and socal media. They had to 

also spend 50 hours on a service 

project that helped solve 

a problem in their community. 

They faced challenges and certain 

obstacles throughout the 

project, but these girls showed 

leadership, determination, organizational 

skills and dedicated 

themselves to help improve their 

community. 

Inspired by a sewing class 

they took at Maria’s Sews 

Alot, they brainstormed and 

researched ideas for a community 

service project where they 

The Voice of Your Community 

could use the sewing skills they 

learned. They decided to teach 

some “Home Economics”, a 

course which is no longer a 

course offered in the Hopedale 

Schools. 

They reached out to the Bancroft 

Library’s children’s librarian 

Elaine Kraimer to schedule 

sewing workshops for girl scout 

troops and young girls in the 

community. The worshops included 

instructions on how to 

thread a machine and how to 

make a pillowcase out of 1 yard 

of fabric. Each girl in the troop 

would bring their own sewing 

machine and supplies to the li-

Visit 

Battleship 

Cove 

Pack 1 Hopedale recently 

made a trip to Battleship Cove, 

in Fall River, Massachusetts, to 

explore the worlds’ largest collection 

of historic U.S. naval ships. 

After touring the battleship Massachusetts, 

destroyer Joseph P. 

Kennedy Jr., and PT Boats 617 & 

796, the scouts, their parents, and 

adult leaders spent the very chilly 

night of March 11 on board 

the famous USS Massachusetts. 

Scouts from the Tiger, Wolf, Webelos 

I, and Webelos II dens had 

a great time exploring the ship 

and experiencing history firsthand 

including the opportunity 

to sleep in authentic sailor’s quarters.

currently raising funds to donate 

a sewing machine for members 

of the library that would like to 

continue to practice sewing . 

Kelsey Grillo, Jaiden Miller 

and Kayla O’Loughlin called

Milford Regional Hospital. 

Alexandra McCall, Edda

Hopedale over the holidays. The 

staff of the Ledges were very impressed 

and requested another 

project to make privacy catheter 

bag covers for the residents who 

travel in wheelchairs. 

Their goal was to bring some 

cheer and color into their hospital

Conferred upon Edward Iacovelli 

at the Montgomery Lodge 

On the 6th of April at the 

regular communication of 

Montgomery Lodge, Ancient 

Free and Accepted Masons, 

the Joseph Warren medal for 

distinguished service was conferred 

upon Edward M. Iacovelli 

of Hopedale, MA. 

Brother Pat Emery of Westboro, 

MA, District Deputy to

in attendance for this very special 

presentation 

The Distinguished Service

the Battle of Bunker Hill, Dr. 

Warren served in the battle as 

a private on the front lines of

Lasers and the Eye 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Lasers can be very useful in treating 

many eye problems. From helping 

patients eliminate the need for 

glasses to cosmetic procedures of 

the eyelids, lasers have been very 

valuable in performing bladeless eye 

surgery while producing precise and 

safe outcomes. 

The world of eye surgery was 

revolutionized when in 1946, a German 

Ophthalmologist used the first 

laser to treat the retina. Laser is light 

amplified by stimulated emission of 

radiation. This produces photons 

acting in synchrony, with high power 

and precision. 

Health risks from the use of laser 

pointers 

Lasers can be very helpful as a 

bladeless surgical device, but a note 

of caution: Laser pointers in handheld, 

pen-like devices that project 

a beam of laser light are rapidly 

replacing the traditional wooden 

pointers used by lecturers during 

presentations. However, these pointers 

can be misused, for example, by 

students in classrooms or by children 

at home, and this has generated 

safety concerns. There have been 

reports of temporary blindness, 

disorientation and headaches by 

Cosmetic & Family Dentistry 

Relaxed Friendly Atmosphere 

Mother’s Day 

Special 

bus drivers, airline pilots, police and 

teachers. Manufacturers are now 

using similar low powered laser devices 

in toys. Never look at a laser 

pointer and never point it at someone. 

Serious eye injury (sometimes 

permanent) can result. 

Laser use in Diabetes 

In some cases of diabetic eye 

disease, small blebs can form on the 

blood vessels of the retina. These 

can later cause bleeding and blurry 

vision. An Argon Laser can be helpful 

in treating these blebs. The same 

laser can treat the entire retina in a 

scatter fashion when more proliferation 

of abnormal blood vessels is 

noted. 

Laser use in Glaucoma 

The laser can be used in a focused 

beam of light to treat the 

drainage angle of the eye. This 

surgery makes it easier for fluid to 

flow out of the front part of the eye, 

decreasing pressure in the eye. Two 

types of laser eye surgery exist to 

open up the drainage angle of the 

eye: Argon laser trabeculoplasty and 

selective laser trabeculoplasty. 

Laser use in after cataract surgery 

The lens capsule is the thin bag 

that holds the intraocular lens implant 

in position after cataract surgery. 

This capsule becomes clouded

in about 25% of cataract surgery 

patients. This causes blurry vision 

and is also known as secondary 

cataract. A YAG laser can create a 

small opening in the center of the 

capsule, allowing light to enter the 

eye through a central clear area. 

The procedure is painless, requires 

no anesthesia, and has very little risk. 

Laser use in Laser Vision Correction 

An excimer laser can be used to 

correct a variety of refractive errors 

of the eye, from nearsightedness to 

farsightedness and astigmatism. This 

type of laser is extremely precise. It 

creates targeted removal of tissue to 

reshape the cornea, which reorients 

the light in the correct place inside 

the eye. 

Laser use in cosmetic eye lid surgery 

Eyelid surgery, also known 

as blepharoplasty, is designed to rejuvenate 

baggy or droopy eyelids 

and to restore youthful eyes. The 

laser provides excellent precision for 

this procedure. Since the laser seals 

small blood vessels, there is very little 

bleeding during surgery. As a result, 

bruising and swelling are kept to a 

minimum and recovery is fast. 

Laser use in Macular Degeneration 

In selected cases of wet macular 

degeneration, a photodynamic 

procedure can be helpful: A laser 

in combination of a light- sensitive 

medicine target the abnormal bleeding 

blood vessels to block them. 

Laser use in cataract surgery 

The laser has revolutionized 

cataract surgery, allowing for a completely 

blade-free procedure. In 

addition to producing precise cuts 

needed for surgery, the laser used 

in bladeless cataract surgery breaks 

up and softens the cloudy cataract 

so there is less ultrasound needed to 

remove the cataract. Less ultrasound 

delivered inside the eye translates 

into less energy used in the eye and 

clearer corneas, which in turn help 

producing better vision on the first 

day after the surgery. The same laser 

is able to treat astigmatism during 

the cataract procedure, producing a 

better chance for being glasses-free 

after the surgery. 

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 

we use state-of-the-art laser technology 

to treat a variety of eye problems. 

Dr. Kaldawy was the first to 

offer bladeless laser cataract surgery 

in the area and among the first in 

New England. The top 5 eye hospitals 

in the country offer bladeless 

femtosecond laser cataract surgery. 

We offer the same. We are proud to 

bring this technology locally. Laser 

technology can help us take care of 

your eyes including no blade laser 

cataract surgery. This technology is 

now offered in our offices and closer 

to home. For more details, see our ad 

on the front page.

Mass Audubon Stony Brook Announces 

Its May Programming 

Warm days and longer evenings! What could be better than that? 

Beginning Birding: Wednesdays, 

May 3, May 10, May 17, 

and field trip May 20 from 6 

to 7:30 p.m. Birding is one of 

the fastest growing pastimes in 

the U.S. Birds are spectacularly 

beautiful and make for very interesting 

subjects to study. Our 

four primary objectives will be 

to learn the skills to identify the 

birds on sight, to recognize the 

association between birds and 

their preferred habitat, to hone 

our skills of observation and finally 

to learn to recognize birds 

by their calls and songs. No experience 

necessary, just a bit of 

interest and enthusiasm. Each 

evening class will start with a 30 

– 40 minute birding session outside 

in various habitats. A portion 

of the final class will focus 

on optics, guidebooks, and some 

reliable birding destinations. Fee: 

$60m/ $72nm 

Tiny Trekkers: Saturdays, 

May 6 and May 20 from 10:30 

a.m. to noon. Start your weekend 

off right with a fun and knowledgeable 

Stony Brook teacher 

on the trails learning about nature. 

Each day will have a special 

topic created to excite your child 

about the natural world. There 

will be crafts, activities and lots

where they live or what they look 

like, bees are responsible for pollinating

including 75% of the nuts, fruits 

and vegetables grown in the 

United States. Native bees face 

many environmental challenges,

the scenery, there are ample opportunities 

to view a great variety 

of unusual and beautiful ferns, 

orchids and other wild flowers 

including foamflower, miterwort, 

painted trillium, and jack in the 

pulpit. This area is also home 

to a great variety of interior forest 

birds such as black-throated 

green warblers and scarlet tanagers, 

as well as species such as 

chestnut sided warbler and indigo 

buntings that tend to be 

associated with more open habitats. 

This trip includes round-trip 

transportation from Stony Brook 

and a picnic lunch. We will be 

hiking several miles so pack accordingly. 

You will need to carry 

water, sun and insect protection, 

any personal items you may need

Hopedale Girls Tennis Team Keeps Building Tradition 

By KEN HAMWEY 

Staff Sports Writer 

The Hopedale High girls tennis 

team knows how to get results. 

Consider the last four years. 

The Blue Raiders have won 

the last three Dual Valley Conference 

championships and have 

captured the last two Central 

Mass. titles. They’ve been to the 

tournament four times and finished 

as state runners-up the last 

two years, bowing to Martha’s 

Vineyard twice. 

Last year, the girls finished 

13-3 in the regular season, then 

posted a 4-1 record in the playoffs, 

ending the 2016 campaign 

with a 17-4 overall record. What 

was remarkable about those 

numbers was the teams average 

age. It was 14½ and yet the 

girls came up one match shy of a 

state crown. 

Amy Wersted, who’s been the 

Blue Raiders coach during this 

dynamic four-year run, could be 

directing another ultra-successful 

squad because this season’s contingent 

returns all of last year’s 

players. And, even more amazing, 

there are still no seniors on 

the roster. 

Youth usually translates to a 

lack of experience but in Hopedale’s 

case it’s a plus. 

“We are young but we’ve 

got players with tourney experience,’’ 

said Wersted, who works 

as a tennis instructor. “Many of 

our girls also play tennis out of 

season.’’ 

This year’s team has an array 

of other strengths. “We’re cohesive,’’ 

Wersted said. “Team 

chemistry is fantastic and our 

style is to play smart, intelligent 

tennis. We don’t rely on power, 

we stress good placement. The 

girls also have talent, utilizing 

drop shots and good top spin. 

Our depth is another asset. We 

have girls who’ve competed in 

varsity matches as seventh and 

eighth graders.’’ 

Consistency is a word Wersted 

uses often and it’s an area 

where she continually aims for 

improvement. Another element 

that she emphasizes is footwork. 

“Footwork is very important,’’ 

she noted. “Players should always 

be moving. I don’t want my 

players competing as if they’re 

stuck in cement.’’ 

This season, opponents will 

discover they’re in for some

tough sledding when they face 

Hopedale’s first and second singles 

players. Sophomore Aimee 

Figgins plays No. 1 and junior 

Megan McLellan is in the second 

slot. Both were DVC all-stars 

last year and Figgins was voted 

the circuit’s No. 1 singles players 

while McLellan got the nod 

for the No. 2 ranking. Figgins is 

a four-year varsity player while 

McLellan is a five-year veteran. 

“Aimee is like a backboard,’’ 

said Wersted. “Whatever shots 

come at her get returned. She’s 

smart, covers the court well and 

uses top spin. Her patience is excellent 

and she’s got great mental 

toughness.’’ 

McLellan is a co-captain and 

Wersted not only likes her leadership 

style, but also her ability. 

“Megan has a very welcoming 

style and she leads by example 

and also by being vocal,’’ Wersted 

said. “She’s another smart 

player who competes very well 

at the net. She’s patient and has 

a winning mentality. She could 

also play first singles.’’ 

Junior Brittany Dupuis, a 

four-year veteran, will see action 

at third singles. “Brittany is 

consistent, good at the net and 

has power,’’ Wersted said. “And, 

she’s excellent at wearing down 

her opponent and she could also 

play second singles. 

Junior co-captain Jennie 

Holland and freshman Maddie 

Laprade will compete at first 

doubles. “Jennie is a perky and 

spunky leader who keeps team 

morale high,’’ Wersted emphasized. 

“She’s phenomenal at the 

net, uses power, has a great slice 

serve and is a fine all-around 

player. Maddie played volleyball 

and she’s good a spiking the ball. 

Her serve is excellent and at the 

net she’s a force to be reckoned 

with. She has a very calming disposition.’’ 

The second doubles 

team will feature juniors Missy 

Davis and Rachel Szemethy. 

“Missy hits with power and is 

an animal at the net,’’ Wersted 

said. “Her serve is good and she’s 

consistent. I like her encouraging 

style as a double partner — she’s 

always cheering her teammate. 

Rachel is one of our most consistent 

players. She’s got a great 

back-hand, is a good net player, 

and her reflexes are outstanding.’’ 

Wersted has depth at doubles 

and can call on eight-grader 

Katelynn Brunt, who competed 

in four varsity matches last 

year, or eighth-grader Madison 

Deppe. 

“Katelynn covers the court 

very well and has great instincts,’’ 

Wersted said. “A finesse player, 

her placements are good, she’s 

consistent and she backs up her 

partner very well. 

Madison compiled a 4-0 record 

as a seventh-grader last 

year. She does what it takes to 

win. She’s determined, consistent, 

and very capable at returning 

shots.’’ 

Wersted, whose Blue Raiders 

were 2-0 at Local Town Pages 

deadline, has some goals for the 

season. She wants her players to 

improve daily, play smart tennis 

and improve on last year’s 

record. As for winning another 

DVC title and getting back to 

the state tourney, she’s content 

to focus on “smart tennis’’ that 

hopefully will lead to another 

Central Mass. crown. “We’ve 

won two straight Central Mass. 

championships and it would be 

nice to make it three,’’ she said. 

The Blue Raiders again are a 

young squad that has depth and 

experience on its side. Another 

season of success likely will unfold 

because the squad is focused, 

committed and devoted to the 

task at hand.

Hopedale Softball Poised for another Tournament Run 

Over the past three years, the 

Hopedale varsity softball team 

has accumulated a standout 

regular season record of 49-10 

while consistently earning qualifying 

bids to play in the Division 

3 Central District Tournament. 

Having made it to the Semi Final 

round in the 2013 and 2014 seasons, 

the Blue Raiders were finally 

able to capture their first 

District Title in nineteen years in 

the 2015 season. 

Last year, Hopedale recorded 

another successful regular season 

amassing a 16-3 record and 

earning the top seed in the tournament. 

However, a disappointing 

loss in the first round ended 

the season prematurely. Heading 

into the 2017 season, Head 

Coach Shanna Lathrop and this 

year’s squad look to avenge that 

tournament loss by putting together 

another solid regular season 

that gets them back into the 

tournament for another run. 

Hopedale only lost two girls 

to graduation, so the team is in 

a relatively good position coming 

into the 2017 season. Returning 

are last year’s battery mates of 

senior pitcher Julia Alberto and 

sophomore catcher Taylor Goldstein. 

Alberto enters her second 

year as the team’s starting pitcher 

and one of the team’s captains, 

while Goldstein takes her position 

behind the plate with a year 

of varsity experience now behind 

her. 

“Julia has a lot of different 

pitches that keep hitters off balance; 

it’s probably her biggest 

asset,” the Lathrop said. “Taylor 

calls most of the game herself 

which is quite impressive for a 

sophomore. I like to get involved 

with the play calling, but being 

the only coach there is so much 

going on I can’t always do it so 

having her there is great.” 

The infield is led by Senior 

captain Katie Koller who begins 

her fourth year in the varsity 

starting line-up and her third 

year as the team’s third baseman. 

Katie is recognized as being a 

smart athlete whose play at the 

hot corner is both solid and consistent. 

At the plate, she does 

a real good job of driving the 

ball and moving runners along. 

Koller also serves as the team’s 

secondary pitcher. 

Another senior captain who 

Lathrop will look to help carry 

the team is Jordan Wilson, who 

is one of the team’s power hitters 

having batted in the four and five 

spots last season. She will be relied 

upon to continue to provide 

the team with extra base hits on 

a regular basis. 

The outfield is anchored by 

returning center fielder Kathleen 

Maloney who is quick and can 

effectively read the ball off the 

bat. At the plate, the sophomore 

has the ability to play small ball, 

but does possess power to hit the 

ball. The rest of the outfield play 

is made up of senior Julia Holt 

and senior captain Catherine 

Clement 

Heading into the 2017 season, 

Coach Lathrop sees her team 

captains’ (Alberto, Koller, Wilson 

and Clement) ability to deliver 

their expertise on the field as 

being the key to having another 

successful campaign in a tough

Dual Valley Conference. 

“Our main goal is to take 

control of the league and capture 

another title (Hopedale 

won the Dual Valley Conference 

Championship in 2015 and 

tied with Nipmuc last year), said 

Lathrop. “Once that is complete 

we should be playing good ball 

as we enter the tournament and 

this year should be a different 

outcome.” 

Last spring after earning that 

top seed in the Division 3 Central 

Tournament Hopedale fell on 

hard times mainly due to the fact 

that the majority of the squad 

didn’t have that tournament experience. 

The only remaining 

players from the 2015 District 

Title team are Katie Koller and 

Jordan Wilson. 

“We’re still a young team, but 

they have worked hard and dedicated 

themselves to winning,” the 

Lathrop said. “Last year we had 

three freshman playing fulltime 

with no real experience, this year 

as sophomores they do which 

puts us in a much better place.” 

Hopedale is once again hoping 

to have a successful campaign 

within the DVC and ride that 

wave into the tournament; this 

year with a much better experience.

Hopedale 6th Grade Boys Earn a Spot In State 

Small Town Tourneyment 

Hopedale 6th Grade Boys 

travel basketball team had another 

stellar season. The team 

finished the season with a record 

of 9 wins and 2 losses and qualified 

for the playoffs in highest division 

in the league. 

In the quarter finals of the 

playoffs, Hopedale defeated an 

up and coming team from Spencer. 

Earlier in the season, Spencer 

shocked our boys by handing 

Hopedale only their third defeat 

in two years of league play. 

For the third year in a row, 

our Hopedale Boys advanced 

to the league championship 

game. Hopedale has won it all 

the past two seasons. Unfortunately, 

Hopedale lost a hard 

fought game against their arch 

rivals from Douglas. 

A second place finish earned 

Hopedale one of six spots in 

the State Small Town Tournament. 

It wasn’t Hopedale’s 

weekend. The competition was 

of the highest caliber. Hopedale 

played some very close games but 

came up short. 

It is a remarkable feat for 

Hopedale, one of the smallest 

towns in the state, to compete at 

the highest level of youth basketball.
