The Voice of Your Community 

Getting by with a Little Help 

from Friends 

Eagle Project Sprouts Community Collaboration 

By J.D. O’Gara 

What started out as an Eagle 

Scout project blossomed into a 

community effort this summer, 

adding some life and color to 

Holliston Town Hall’s central 

burying ground. Lucas Pocher, 

inquiring about the needs of 

the town, contacted Selectman 

Mark Ahronian, asking for 

suggestions for a project to organize. 

With a stroke of serendipity, 

the project grew into an 

impressive effort, ending with a 

hydrangea garden. 

After Lucas reached out to 

Ahronian, Bobby Blair notified 

Ahronian that the American 

Legion Downtown Marigold 

Project had received a $1,000 

donation from a resident that 

the group wanted to use to 

plant blue hydrangeas.

and got a lot of cooperation from family members, volunteers,

Town Hall. Photos by Mark Ahronian 

Holliston VFW 

Installs New Officers 

By J.D. O’Gara 

The Holliston V.F.W. Leonard 

D. Chesmore Post 8507 held its 

2018 Installation of Officers on 

Thursday, June 28, 2018. 

The evening was opened with 

comments from outgoing Post 

Commander Vincent Trunfio, 

who thanked members of the 

Post for their support of his leadership 

and led the Pledge of Allegiance 

to the Flag. 

Next, Keith Jackson, District 

15 State Commander applauded 

Trunfio’s leadership as well as the 

Holliston Post. “You guys know 

what right looks like,” he told the 

group, that among 167 posts he 

oversees, he has no worries about 

Holliston. “You guys are an awesome 

team, do a great job” in 

fundraising and donating over 

$10,000 a year for various veterans’ 

charities and for giving back 

to the community for such causes 

as Thanks to Yanks, Homes for 

Troops, student scholarships, 

sponsorship of Eagle Scout projects, 

support of veterans waiting 

for claims to be processed, donations 

of Bibles for families of 

veterans who have passed on and 

even supporting members by providing 

the V.F.W. uniform. 

Incoming Commander David 

DeGanne said, “I can’t express 

how humbled I am to be elected. 

This is the 70th anniversary year, 

and the fact that this post is still 

here and is as strong as it is is 

entirely due to the efforts of the 

men here. I’m humbled also by 

the idea that they think that I 

could do this.” DeGanne, who 

enlisted in the military at 35 after 

9/11 said that although bringing 

in new members will be a challenge, 

as less than 1% of the U.S. 

population are serving in foreign 

wars, he hopes his experience will 

serve him well in understanding 

what younger veterans are going 

through. He added that he believes 

that although younger veterans 

are “really not interested in

and a few more hydrangeas. To 

cap it off, the Holliston Highway 

Department, directed by Sean 

Reese, donated 10 years of composted 

soil for the project, and 

Frank Chamberlain, who works 

with Community Preservation in 

town, got involved as well. 

“It was all about collaboration,” 

says Ahronian. “I thought 

it was a great project. No one 

organization could afford to do 

this. It’s a good story, for people 

to realize that although it takes 

longer to organize a collaborative 

effort, you get things done 

you wouldn’t normally be able to

The area, says Ahronian, 

“shows respect for our central 

burying ground, and it makes 

the town look welcoming and 

beautiful.” 

Ahronian, who owns Ahronian 

Landscape, acted as an advisor 

on the project. “This is the 

3rd or 4th time I’ve been an advisor 

for an Eagle Scout project,” 

he says. “They really do a lot 

for the community. They show 

up with 15-20 scouts and get a 

lot of work done. They’ve done 

a lot of things all over town, including 

the rail trail, helping out 

building raised vegetable garden 

beds at the senior center ad at 

the police station working on the 

grounds there.” In this case, Ahronian 

helped with equipment by 

demonstrating to the boys how 

to properly plant the perennial 

plant, explaining mudholing and 

how to massage the roots so they 

don’t get rootbound.” 

Lucas explains that the Eagle 

Scout project is actually just 

part of a pretty large process 

in attaining the rank. Since he 

joined Cub Scouts at age 6 in 

Troop 73, Lucas has worked his 

way through a number of merit 

badges, camping trips and leadership 

positions up to this point. 

“Not everything you do in 

scouts is recreation. I’ve been actively 

working toward my Eagle 

for six years. Now that I’ve completed 

the project, I’m going to 

have to finish my writeup for it 

and send it to council.” If he attains 

Eagle Scout, Pocher will be 

among only 4% of Boy Scouts 

who do so. A Scout must earn 

21 merit badges, demonstrate 

that he has lived by the principles

“I’ve always been on the 

path,” says Pocher. “Some of 

my best friends I’ve met in scouting. 

It’s a worthwhile experience 

to go to meetings and trips and 

rewarding to get badges to advance, 

and it was just the natural 

progression.” Lucas has been on 

a number of trips with the group, 

including a trip to St. Croix in 

the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2016.

A telescope can now be borrowed 

from the library to watch

and guide to the sky are included.

foreman Ryan Facendola 

helps the scouts with a 

sod cutting machine. 

“My father was great. He was 

a huge help. I had to do the planning, 

and he was always great for 

advice. He worked in landscaping 

in the past. He and Mr. Ahronian, 

of course, was a huge help, 

and he helped me greatly on the 

actual work date.” 

The first work day, Lucas, 

who’ll be a senior in high school 

this coming fall, organized a team 

of about eight scouts and leaders 

from Troop 73 on two different 

days to get the work done. “That 

was really more than enough for 

the type of work we were doing,” 

he says. Although the work took 

longer than the boys expected, 

Lucas was satisfied with the way 

the project turned out. 

“We planted (the hydrangeas) 

at the start of a huge heat wave 

– it took longer than expected. 

It was like 95 degrees working 

out and the sun was brutal. The 

plants took some damage, but it 

already looks better than it did,” 

says Pocher, who, with his group 

of scout volunteers will have to 

keep the plants watered all summer. 

“I think it came together 

nicely.” 

The telescope can be reserved 

in advance and weighs only 14 

pounds. It is powerful enough 

to view the Rings of Saturn, the 

Galilean moons and nearby star 

clusters. 

The library is looking for 

someone who is fluent in French 

to volunteer to lead a conversation

Backpack Drive to 

Benefit Local Kids 

Helped by DCF 

Holliston resident Deborah Sweet, a foster parent ambassador 

for the Framingham office of the Department of Children and 

Families (DCF), is embarking on her fifth year of collecting backpacks 

and school supplies for children in foster care and in families 

that are receiving DCF assistance in the 23 towns represented by 

the Framingham office, including Holliston. 

Since she began five years ago, she’s collected 200-300 each 

year, and every single one is given to a child. 

The drive helps parents who are receiving DCF services, she 

says, because “If a parent is having trouble deciding between a 

meal and school supplies, they’ll choose a meal. And it also goes to 

foster children who have been removed. 

“Oftentimes a backpack is what makes a child feel like they fit in 

at school, like they deserve the education that they’re getting and 

can be a lifeline for them if they are being transitioned form home 

to home.” Sweet adds that the backpack “may be what (foster children) 

put all their stuff in instead of a garbage bag when they’re 

moving from home to home. If we can make a dent in that, it’s 

wonderful,” she says. 

Sweet has partnered with Fiske’s General Store, which will be a 

drop-off location for the backpacks and school supplies.

Keeping Your Cat Healthy 

By Dr. Cristina Valas 

Whether your cat has short 

or long fur, they will benefit 

greatly from regular grooming. 

This helps remove the dead hair 

from their coat so they don’t digest 

it while self-grooming. This 

will also give you the chance to 

notice any changes or irregularities 

in your cat’s body such 

as lumps, bumps or sore spots. 

Cats have their own unique 

physiology, diseases and reactions 

to drugs and treatments. 

They also have their own set of 

behaviors that can make noticing 

illness very difficult. Cats 

The Family Pet Hospital is 

CAT FRIENDLY CERTIFIED 

• CAT Only Entrance 

• CAT Only Waiting Room 

• Dog Odor Free Exam Rooms 

are very good at showing that 

they’re not sick, and tend not 

to show obvious signs like other 

animals do. They often become 

quiet and stoic, and unless you 

notice a change in their normal 

behavior, you may not even 

notice that there’s something 

wrong. For this reason, it’s very 

important to bring your cat to 

see the veterinarian on a regular 

basis. 

Annual visits give the veterinarian 

a chance to catch any 

potential feline diseases in their 

early stages, administer vaccines, 

and keep an eye on their 

oral health. The vet can also tell

you if your cat is at a healthy 

weight! Just like in human 

health: good nutrition, keeping 

a healthy weight and exercising 

are important for cats. Keeping 

them free of parasites such 

as fleas, worms and ticks is also 

important, as is appropriate 

vaccination, which should be 

discussed at length with your 

veterinarian. It is best to find 

a hospital that is certified cat 

friendly through the American 

Association of Feline Practitioners. 

The Cat Friendly Practice 

program is designed to elevate 

care for cats by reducing the 

stress for the cat, caregiver and 

veterinary team. Cat-friendly 

practices understand the unique 

needs and behaviors of cats and 

have a feline-friendly environment 

in order to make veterinary 

visits more cat-friendly. 

Cats usually prove to be difficult 

to get in the carrier to 

bring to the vet, but don’t let 

that deter you from making it 

your appointments! Keep the 

carrier out and feed the cat inside 

the carrier prior to the appointment. 

Make sure your cat 

is transported in an appropriate 

carrier that is designed specifically 

for pets. Allowing your cat 

to roam freely in the car can 

distract you from driving safely, 

which can lead to accidents that 

may harm both you and your 

cat. If you have any questions, 

please contact drcrisvalas@thefamilypethospital.com.

Letter to the Editor: 

Advocates Respond to House’s Failed 

Leadership on Climate 

7/12/18 

Today, climate and environmental 

advocates were angered 

by the Massachusetts House of 

Representatives’ decision to pass 

a paltry increase to the renewable 

portfolio standard, rejecting 

more progressive options. 

The Mass Power Forward coalition, 

comprised of more than 

150 member groups supporting 

climate and environmental justice 

policies, denounced the bill, 

H.4738, as an utter abdication of 

progressive leadership on renewable 

energy. 

“For a state that continually 

touts its progressive leadership, 

this is embarrassing and 

our members are angry,” said 

Andrew Gordon of 350 Massachusetts. 

“This is more than just 

a missed opportunity, this was a 

choice not to lead. Considering 

the federal government’s stance 

on climate, such a choice is unconscionable. 

” 

Amendments designed to 

improve the Renewable Portfolio 

Standard, protect ratepayers 

from the pipeline tax, and codify 

environmental justice languageoffered 

by Reps Khan, Kulik, 

and Vincent-enjoyed broad support 

across House membership, 

but were rejected by leadership. 

In an attempt to appease progressives, 

the House adopted 

amendment language instructing 

DOER to study the impact 

of additional offshore wind procurement, 

relinquishing further 

action to an executive administration 

with a strong preference 

for fracked gas and hydro power. 

“As a climate justice advocate, 

I know that time is of the essence. 

Our communities can’t wait until 

next session. Heat waves, floods 

and storms are happening now,” 

said Claire Miller of Toxics Action 

Center. “As a constituent 

of Rep. Sanchez, I’m also just 

shocked. Renewable energy and 

environmental justice should be a 

no-brainer.” 

Earlier this summer, the utility 

companies, regular campaign 

contributors to members of 

House leadership, argued that 

we don’t need to increase the renewable 

portfolio standard, even 

as Massachusetts falls behind its 

neighboring states. 

“It’s disappointing that environmental 

justice and solar access 

for all have seen little to no 

progress in a decade,” said Vick 

Mohanka of Clean Water Action. 

“Now more than ever we 

need to make sure that our laws 

prioritize public health and equity.” 

“From tonight’s actions we see 

that the Mass. House is prepared 

to offer tepid clean energy legislation,” 

said Emily Norton, Massachusetts 

Director for the Sierra 

Club. “But the science calls for 

bold and aggressive action, if we 

are to avoid the worst predictions 

for climate change, especially in 

our own region. We will only be 

ramping up the pressure now.” 

“It is baffling and, frankly, 

untenable that the leadership 

of the Massachusetts House appear 

incapable of adequately 

adjusting to our rapidly changing 

circumstances being brought 

about by climate change,” said 

Rosemary Wessel of No Fracked 

Gas in Mass. “All across the state, 

we are being impacted by climate 

change, whether sea level rise in 

the east or heat, drought, severe 

storms, tornadoes and species 

shift statewide. We need to take 

bold action now, and once again, 

the House leadership has fallen 

short, even when House members 

stood up to co-sponsor positive 

amendments.”

“Americana”- A Musical Revue 

Enter Stage Left Theater presents 

Americana, a musical revue 

that explores our American ideals 

through a distinctly homegrown 

art form — musical theatre. 

What does it mean to be 

American? What are the values 

we share and the principles we 

aspire to? 

Directed by Mark DiCampo 

and featuring songs from Hamilton, 

Ragtime, Assassins, Hair, Oklahoma, 

and many others, Americana 

is an entertaining yet thoughtful 

look at our national identity and 

how it will be defined by the next 

generation.

Lorenzen Selected to Coach Holliston’s 

Girls’ Varsity Hoop Squad 

By KEN HAMWEY, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Kurt Lorenzen is Holliston 

High’s new girls’ basketball coach 

and to say that the 57-year-old 

Illinois native is well-qualified 

to handle the position would be 

a monumental understatement, 

because he’s paid his dues at 

every conceivable level. 

Lorenzen played high school 

and college basketball, and he’s 

coached at the youth level (in 

Holliston) and in AAU programs. 

He’s also been around the block 

as an interscholastic coach. At 

Holliston, he’s been the girls’ 

freshman and junior varsity 

coach, and he also served as a 

varsity assistant. 

A resident of Holliston for the 

last 23 years, he played guard for 

three varsity seasons at Crete- 

Monee High School in Illinois 

and was a league and all-state 

selection. He also was his team’s 

captain as a junior and senior 

and was chosen as the league 

MVP. A top-notch shooter, the 

6-foot-2 guard scored more than 

1,000 points in his career, numbers 

that earned him a scholarship 

to Division 1 Eastern Illinois 

University. 

His college career included 

four varsity seasons, the last oneand-a-half 

spent as a starter for 

the Panthers. 

“My best game in college was 

my last game as a senior,’’ Lorenzen 

recalled. “We were playing 

our rival — Western Illinois 

— and I scored 20 points. But, it 

was my free-throw shooting that 

helped us win by two points. I 

sank four free throws in the last 

20 seconds.’’ 

Lorenzen, who owns a manufacturer’s 

representative firm, 

began coaching in the Holliston 

Youth Basketball Program when 

his children started playing. He 

coached for eight years, then became 

vice president and fulfilled 

that role for 12 more years. At 

Holliston, he coached the freshman 

girls for three years, then 

worked for six seasons as a varsity 

assistant for head coach Kristen 

Hedrick. He later took the jayvee 

reins for two-and-a-half years 

and, last May, accepted the varsity 

position when Dan Keefe 

resigned to devote more time to 

his job in the Natick Recreation 

Department. 

“I’m excited about coaching 

the varsity,’’ Lorenzen said. “I 

feel confident about my ability. I 

know the Tri Valley League and 

all the teams. When I officially 

got the job, it was great to hear 

from opposing coaches. They all 

were very welcoming.’’ 

Lorenzen wasted little time 

meeting his players, most of 

whom he’s coached at the jayvee 

level. “My first meeting was 

with our three captains,’’ he 

said. “Brooke Geoffroy, Melaine 

Colman and Eliza Altobelli are 

quality captains who’ll lead by 

example and by being vocal. 

Then, I next met with our returning 

players to discuss training 

and summer league play. The 

theme at both meetings focused 

on expectations and goals.’’ 

Lorenzen’s objectives as varsity 

coach are clear and direct. 

They involve improvement and 

achievement. “We want to get 

better as a team, and that means 

improving individually,’’ he emphasized. 

“We also want to compete 

hard in the TVL and aim 

for a berth in the tournament.’’ 

A proponent of fast-break 

basketball, Lorenzen would like 

to develop a style that “stresses 

full speed, lots of running and 

pressure defense.’’ If his players 

are talented and techniqueoriented, 

an up-tempo game is 

definitely in the mix. 

“We’ll be without four senior 

starters from last year,’’ Lorenzen 

noted. “We’ve got seven returnees, 

so some girls from the jayvees 

will have to step up. We’ll have 

some size and an inside presence. 

If our work ethic is good and we 

develop team chemistry, then our 

rebounding and defense will be 

strengths.’’ 

When compiling a roster, Lorenzen 

has some specific attributes 

he looks for in prospective 

players. “I prefer players who are 

fundamentally sound, athletic 

and coachable,’’ he said. “A high 

basketball IQ is also desirable 

along with a strong work ethic. 

And, quickness and speed are 

also assets.’’ 

The Panthers last winter 

earned a playoff berth but were 

eliminated early, losing to league

Kurt Lorenzen and his daughter, Kylie both have links to Holliston. 

Kurt is the new girls’ varsity basketball coach and Kylie, who scored 

1,000 points at Holliston, finished her junior year at Southern New 

Hampshire University as an all-American. 

powerhouse Hopkinton. The 

tourney date, however, ended 

a two-year absence from postseason 

play. To be a playoff 

team continually isn’t easy but 

if Lorenzen’s forces adhere to 

his philosophy, they should enjoy 

success. 

“Winning will happen if the 

girls relay on teamwork, fundamentals, 

going full-speed on both 

offense and defense and being 

eager to improve every day,’’ 

Lorenzen emphasized. “Basketball 

can be a great experience 

but players have to be accountable 

but also enjoy their athletic 

experience. I want them to learn 

valuable life lessons that will help 

them get ready for their next 

step.’’ 

There are a number of 

coaches who helped prepare Lorenzen 

for his step-up. He points 

to his college coach (Rick Samuels), 

Hedrick and Keefe. 

“Rick taught me the concepts 

of what it takes to be a coach,’’ 

Lorenzen noted. “He taught his 

players how to deal with personalities. 

I still use some of his techniques 

and terminology today. 

When I worked as Kristen’s assistant 

and later with Dan, we 

learned a lot from each other. 

Kristen taught me to be a good 

listener. Both she and Dan were 

very supportive of my taking the 

varsity job.’’ 

Lorenzen, who hopes to add a 

new jayvee coach soon and possibly 

a freshman coach, is married, 

and he and his wife Barbara have 

a son (Christian) and a daughter 

(Kylie). His daughter, who became 

Holliston’s fourth female 

player to scored 1,000 points, 

finished her junior year at Southern 

New Hampshire University 

as a collegiate all-American and 

a Northeast-10 all-star. She averaged 

17.5 points and 9.5 rebounds 

a game. 

Like her father, who sharpened 

his skills playing for the 

Panthers at Eastern Illinois, she 

honed her technique playing for 

the Panthers at Holliston High. 

Now, it’s Kurt Lorenzen’s time to 

develop a new corps of Panthers 

who just may become playoff 

contenders on a regular basis.

Sports 

For Bergloff, Hard Work Makes Natural Throwing Talent Pay Off 

By Christopher Tremblay, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Having a father who was not 

only a track and field thrower 

himself, but a former coach, 

Holliston’s Isabella Bergloff continually 

heard how much fun 

throwing the discus and shot put 

was. While her father (David) 

found the sport to be enjoyable, 

he was not going to push it on his 

daughter. 

“I had heard how much fun 

it was from my father, but he 

wanted me to make a decision 

on my own. So, when I eventually 

got the opportunity in middle 

school, I had to check it out,” 

Bergloff said. “I honestly don’t 

know what it was, but everything 

just seemed to click, and I fell in 

love with the sport. I’m really not 

sure why, but I found it really 

fun, especially doing it with my 

friends. There was also a satisfying 

feeling when I made a good 

throw.” 

As a seventh grader Bergloff 

threw the discus 67’, upped that 

to 86’ as an eighth grader and 

eventually broke 90 with a throw 

of 94’ to qualify for the Junior 

Olympics all before entering high 

school. 

While the Holliston Middle 

School allowed the throwing of 

the discus in practice, there was 

no taking part in the event during 

meets, so going into the state 

meet, Bergloff had no idea what 

to expect. 

“I had never thrown the discus 

during a meet before and 

only had two weeks to practice,” 

the then seventh grader said. 

“After throwing 67’ (good enough 

for third place) I knew that with 

some time and practice I could 

do much better.” 

Following her eighth-grade 

season, she threw 94’ to qualify 

for the Jr. Olympics, where at the 

Regionals she once again found 

herself finishing in third place. 

“I was happy with my placement, 

but not too super excited 

with my throw of 83’, especially 

after throwing a personal record 

of 94’ to qualify. I was a little disappointed.” 

Bergloff said. 

Coming into the high school 

indoor season, there was no discus 

throwing, so Bergloff decided 

to try shot put since it was then 

only throwing event. Despite trying 

the event for the first time she 

finished third in the Tri-Valley 

League as a freshman and once 

again knew that she could only 

get better with hard work. 

“It was my daughter Kelly 

(who threw at Holliston and is 

now throwing for UMASS Amherst) 

who first told me that I 

needed to check her out,” Holliston 

Throwing Coach Manny 

Alves said. “After watching her 

a few times, I knew that she was 

going to be special with some 

hard work. She has a very strong 

work ethic, and we just needed 

to make her a better, stronger 

thrower.” 

Holliston Girl’s Head Coach 

Jenn Moreau believes Alves’ 

hit the nail right on the head 

when talking about the Panther 

thrower. 

“It’s in her blood, and as a 

freshman, she came in as a hardworking 

individual and was very 

mature for her age,” Moreau 

said. “Bella takes her throwing 

seriously and has become our 

‘go to person’ if anyone has any 

questions.” 

During the spring season, she 

threw the discus 114’, finished 

third in the TVL and went onto 

the Sectionals, but didn’t fare all 

that well. 

“It was my first really big 

meet, and my nerves took over,” 

she said. “Throwing against juniors 

and seniors, who were a 

lot older than me, I just went out 

and choked. When I look back 

on it, it was all about the experience, 

not how well I did that first 

time.” 

Coming into this past season, 

her sophomore campaign, Bergloff 

was primed to not only take 

on the TVL but the other female 

throwers in the state. 

“This year, she was more focused 

with a goal of breaking 

the school record of 125’ in the 

discus,” the Panther Coach said. 

“While she now does own the 

school record, she didn’t quite get 

the results she was looking for at 

the New England’s and Nationals. 

Falling short will only drive 

her to do better.” 

As a sophomore this past year, 

Bergloff put together an amazing 

indoor and outdoor season, definitely 

her best to date. During the 

regular indoor season she went 

undefeated in the TVL throwing 

the shot put and went on to win 

the TVL Championships in the 

event. Then, in the spring, the 

sophomore went undefeated in 

the discus and took the majority 

(two second place finishes) in 

the shot put and finished second 

overall in the TVL. 

While she didn’t fare all that 

well in the Divisionals during 

the shotput during the indoor 

season, she was able to grab a 

second-place finish in the discus 

during the outdoor season. 

“It was my first indoor divisional 

tournament, and I had just 

converted from a glide to a spin 

so I was looking at a rebuilding 

year,” Bergloff said. “My glide 

felt choppy to me and just didn’t 

feel right – the spin was more 

natural and smoother.” 

During the Divisionals, Bergloff 

threw 122’, 124’ and 126’ 

breaking the Holliston school 

record not only once but twice. 

The record then fell yet again at 

the All States when the sophomore 

threw the discus 128.6’. 

“I knew that I could eventually 

break the record, since I 

had already thrown a personal 

record of 114’,” she said. “I felt 

that I could improve my throwing 

15-20 feet each season, and I 

would break it. Throughout the 

season I was around 119.4 and 

beginning to peak as the season 

came to an end, so I thought that 

it was very possible.” 

Looking at Bergloff, you 

would never picture her for a discus 

or shotput thrower, but more 

of a runner. 

“Bella is 5’8”and not as big 

and powerful as most throwers. 

She works hard and has developed 

her discus technique that 

clearly stands out among her 

Holliston record-breaker Isabella Bergloff showed a lot of promise 

throwing discus and shotput as a sophomore. With two more years to 

improve, she’s sure to impress. 

peers,” her father said. “I have 

yet to see a boy or girl in Massachusetts 

with comparable technique. 

That is easy for a parent 

to say, but I do say it objectively.” 

With still two years remaining 

in her high school career there 

is a lot of room for her to grow. 

Bergloff would not only like to 

place first or second at the All 

States as well as do well in the 

New Englands and eventually 

take her talents to a Division 1 

College. 

“The future for Bella is limitless 

and will be very exciting to 

watch. I think over the next two 

years, she will continue to work 

very hard and has a very good 

chance to possible break the 

State Meet record of 157’ 4”,” 

Alves said. “She is also a very 

good shot putter, too.” 

Due to her leadership, Bergloff 

has been named a captain for 

the Panther squad this upcoming 

season and with her estimated 

growth of 15-20 feet per year, it 

is more than likely by the end of 

next year’s outdoor season she 

should be holding onto the State 

Meet record in the discus. If she 

does that then, she would have 

just been finishing her junior season 

and would have one more 

left before she left Holliston.

Fresh Perspectives: HCA Students and Teachers 

Through August 23, 2018: 

Reception: August 10, 6 - 7:30 p.m. 

How does a teacher influence a student? 

Is a six-year-old more likely than 

a sixty-year-old to take on the teacher’s 

style? Here’s an exploration of those questions. 

Fresh Perspectives: HCA Students and 

Teachers is installed in HCA’s Lotvin Family 

Gallery in clusters, students’ work radiating 

from the sun of the teacher. Let’s see 

what we can learn. 

Four teachers - Sarah Alexander (painting 

and drawing), Richard Denzer (watercolor), 

Heather Heverling (sewing), and 

Cathy Howe (painting and drawing) in 

whose classes kids from 4 to 82 expanded 

their creativity, are the hubs of this show. 

“These teachers and students represent 

the more than two dozen teachers and 

400 students who made art at HCA in 

the past year,” says HCA co-director Kris 

Waldman. 

Beau Vienneau is 6. In his Sharpie 

and watercolor painting Happy Tree, 

hundreds of blue squiggles make a shimmering, 

spindly shape outlined by yellow 

squiggles. From its branches hang fruit of 

concentric circles in many colors. 

Cindy Yang, 14, studies the forms and 

refractions of cat’s-eye marbles in her watercolor, 

The Outsider. They’re piled high. 

Light passing through casts soft shadows. 

Off by itself is the big, serious-looking 

shooter, gravely apart from the crowd. 

Jack Miller, 10, shows The Bearded 

Dragon. Out of this pastel peers a lizardly 

reptile, scuttling in front of dry hills on taloned 

feet. Under a striated sky of purples, 

greens, blues, and greys, he stilly eyeballs 

the viewer. 

Annaleigh Crantz, also 10, worked 

with Perler beads, tiny plastic circles that, 

once arranged, can be ironed into keeping 

their places. Annaleigh’s View from a 

Distance is a knockout. Her 1740 beads 

make a pixel-like portrait of a tousledhaired 

gentleman, wide-eyed and smiling 

broadly.
