<strong>Franklin</strong> Veterans Memorial<br />
Walkway to Be Dedicated<br />
<strong>November</strong> 11th<br />
Event Commemorates<br />
100 Years Since<br />
WWI Ended<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
Both figuratively and literally,<br />
bricks engraved with the names<br />
of those who have served and<br />
are serving are providing the<br />
pathway. The paramount goal<br />
of the <strong>Franklin</strong> Veterans Memorial<br />
Walkway, however, which<br />
will be dedicated in a ceremony<br />
at <strong>Franklin</strong> Town Common on<br />
Sunday, <strong>November</strong> 11th, <strong>2018</strong><br />
at 1:30 p.m., rain or shine, is<br />
the honoring of soldiers from<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> who gave their lives for<br />
their country.<br />
“We always talk about the<br />
bricks, because that’s the funding<br />
mechanism, but the most<br />
important part is the placement<br />
of the pedestals with the bronze<br />
The Voice of Your Community<br />
plaques for the 45 fallen soldiers,”<br />
says <strong>Franklin</strong> Veterans<br />
Services Officer Dale Kurtz,<br />
In fact, over 80 family<br />
members, and possibly up to<br />
100 family members of the<br />
45 fallen soldiers will attend<br />
the Veterans Day ceremony,<br />
which will also mark the 100th<br />
anniversary of the ending of<br />
hostilities of WWI.<br />
“We’re recognizing the ending<br />
of hostilities in World War I,<br />

In October, the granite was<br />
delivered for 45 pedestals to be<br />
adorned with bronze plaques<br />
honoring <strong>Franklin</strong>’s 45 fallen<br />
soldiers as the <strong>Franklin</strong> DPW<br />

Mural Gets a Facelift<br />
Artist Katelyn Chandler Enlisted to<br />
Restore Historic Mural<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
“The first time I looked forward<br />
to going to school was<br />
when I took art classes,” says<br />
Katelyn Chandler. The creative<br />
single Mom, who lives in<br />
Cumberland, Rhode Island,<br />
says she never looked back<br />
once she made the decision to<br />
study painting, sculpture and<br />
art history at the Montserrat<br />
College of Art and later, in Viterbo,<br />
Italy, where she learned to<br />
paint in the Renaissance style<br />
of fresco as well as landscape<br />
plein air painting.<br />
“I think as an artist, you<br />
hone the ability to literally visualize,<br />
an ability to input what<br />
you see through your hand,”<br />
says Chandler. “I see a different<br />
lens of color, space and<br />
composition and things of that<br />
nature.” Her experience, and<br />
that vision, led her to approach<br />

the store’s 25-year-old mural<br />
painted by Newport, Rhode Island<br />
artist Sandy Bacon.<br />
“I basically walked in and<br />
said, ‘I can fix that for you.’ I<br />
knew I had the aptitude and<br />
ability to render it properly and<br />
was very confident in my ability<br />
to paint,” says Katelyn.<br />
“Katelyn’s timing was perfect,”<br />
says Kirk Simon, who<br />
explained that the family business,<br />
begun by his great grandfather,<br />
Abraham Simon under<br />
the legal name of A. Simon &<br />
Sons in 1911, handing it to his<br />
sons Maurice (Kirk’s grandfather),<br />
David and Harry who<br />
later handed it to Kirk’s father,<br />
George in the 1960s, decided<br />
on the mural in lieu of a sign.<br />

MURAL<br />
continued from page 1<br />
Artist Katelyn Chandler and Simon’s Furniture owner Kirk Simon are<br />
shown here with the newly revamped downtown mural.<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> Historical Commission<br />
at the time to get some pictures<br />
of businesses there at the turn of<br />
the century. “(Katelyn) came to<br />
me and said it could use refreshing<br />
and restoration, and we decided<br />
it was time.”<br />
Katelyn says she wanted the<br />
mural to sing.<br />
“I know how <strong>Franklin</strong> can get<br />
dreary in the wintertime. I want it<br />
to be vibrant on a snowy day, and<br />
I know it has historical value, preserving<br />
the qualities of a family<br />
business that has been a big part<br />
of people’s perception of where<br />
they live, where they’re from and<br />
who they are. I love that mural,<br />
and to know I’m building on a<br />
sense of pride in the community<br />
is really fulfilling.”<br />
The project was one of the<br />
most grueling Chandler, who has<br />
also been an art dealer for about<br />
a decade, has ever done. She<br />
challenged herself even more<br />
by giving herself two-and-a-half<br />
weeks, the maximum amount of<br />
time she could spare, for the project.<br />
(The original took an entire<br />
summer to paint.)<br />
“It’s hard work being up there<br />
on the lift in the weather and out<br />
in the sun,” says the painter, who<br />
battled a terrible cold the whole<br />
time. “It’s taken me out of my<br />
element in a good way.” In addition<br />
to wet, rough weather,<br />
“The physicality of it has been<br />
the most challenging,” says the<br />
artist, who devoted 10-12 hours<br />
a day on the project.<br />
Simon says he’s thrilled at the<br />
positive feedback he’s received<br />
from the neighborhood.<br />
“When you go through life,<br />
you don’t realize you need something<br />
until after you get it,” he<br />
says. “That’s sort of the same<br />
feeling you get when you look<br />
at the mural – you realize it<br />
was overdue, it needed to be refreshed.”<br />
The new look is sure to<br />
inspire Kirk’s son, Jared, a fifthgeneration<br />
Simon who is bringing<br />
his technological and social<br />
media savvy to bring the family<br />
business into the future.<br />
Now that the Simon’s mural is<br />
completed, Katelyn will turn her<br />
attention back to a large-scale,<br />
public art installation she’s working<br />
on.<br />
“I do a lot of socially inspired<br />
artwork,” says Chandler. “The<br />
project is already basically finished,<br />
and it’s going to go into<br />
corporate settings and spaces,<br />
to sort of promote the idea of<br />
women’s equality and a lot of<br />
symbolism involved with it,” says<br />
Katelyn. Inspired by a conversation<br />
she had with another artist,<br />
who became a feminist the minute<br />
she was discouraged from<br />
riding an elephant as a woman<br />
in a skirt, Chandler is using the<br />
image of a very large, archangel<br />
elephant as a symbol of women’s<br />
strength.<br />
“The elephant itself symbolizes<br />
(women’s) strength and<br />
courage,” says Chandler, who<br />
will incorporate performance<br />
and audience participation into<br />
a circus-like, story-telling art experience.<br />
Chandler, whose singlehanded<br />
work to promote the<br />
talents of <strong>Franklin</strong> photographer<br />
Peter Willis has created a ripple<br />
effect on the perception of the<br />
professional aspirations of adults<br />
with special needs, is also working<br />
on an art project with Woonsocket,<br />
RI schools aimed on<br />
developing a supportive school<br />
culture.<br />
“I love the idea of rejuvenating<br />
and connecting people,” says<br />
Chandler. “I’m very much a big<br />
thinker, and I want to dedicate<br />
myself to projects that feel like<br />
they make a positive impact. Art<br />
is both your art form, but also the<br />
sort of life you create and the experience<br />
you want to have. I’ve<br />
come across it myself - the stereotype<br />
of being a strong, independent,<br />
forward minded thinker<br />
and talker. I’ve been told I need<br />
to quiet down, not be opinionated<br />
and very much feared, (but)<br />
there’s no part of me that wants<br />
to apologize for my voice. I’m<br />
done apologizing. You only have<br />
one life, and I’m not going to go<br />
dark into the night. I take that<br />
approach in all things.”<br />

WALKWAY<br />
continued from page 1<br />
which is the reason we’re doing<br />
the dedication on that day,” says<br />
Kurtz. “We’re honoring those<br />
vets who died during our nations’s<br />
conflicts from WWI to<br />
today. The connection between<br />
<strong>November</strong> 11th and the <strong>Franklin</strong><br />
Veterans Memorial Walkway is<br />
very tight.”<br />
Bricks engraved with the<br />
names of soldiers, living or deceased,<br />
along with their branch<br />
of the military, continue to be<br />
sold for $100 apiece, funds that<br />
contribute to the project. The<br />
first delivery of bricks took place<br />
on October 10th, and in mid-<br />
October, work for the Veterans<br />
Memorial Walkway was ahead<br />
of schedule, according to Kurtz.<br />
Sales of the bricks, which is<br />
ongoing (the walk can accommodate<br />
12,000), are going well.<br />
So far, says Kurtz, the V.F.W. has<br />
received around 950 orders.<br />
“That’s many more than we<br />
anticipated,” says Kurtz. “We<br />
didn’t know what to expect.<br />
We’ve gotten orders from 21<br />
states, plus the District of Columbia.”<br />
The project has received<br />
“tremendous support, from the<br />
Town Administrator and Town<br />
Council, from the residents,<br />
and we’ve also received a grant<br />
from the state to help with our<br />
construction, which has been<br />
very helpful. Senator Ross and<br />
Representative Roy were the big<br />
drivers, and Senator Spilka also<br />
assisted,” says Kurtz.<br />
The town sponsored and privately<br />
funded project, managed<br />
by the <strong>Franklin</strong> V.F.W. Post 3402<br />

is possible thanks to a number of<br />
participants. The <strong>Franklin</strong> DPW,<br />
says Kurtz, has provided a mountain<br />
of work, including digging<br />
and brick-laying. The bricks are<br />
being engraved by Permanent<br />
Mark, out of Clinton, Mass.<br />
Other companies with noteworthy<br />
contributions to the project<br />
include Allegra Printing, Vicario<br />
Studios of <strong>Franklin</strong>, Signs by<br />
Cam, Allavatto Architects (HFA<br />
Creative Solutions),Darrell<br />
French and C&A Masonry, to<br />
name a few. A more comprehensive<br />
list of local businesses<br />
that supported the project can<br />

Ross Highlights Local Funding<br />
An “FY19 Budget Round-<br />
Up,” provided by Sen. Richard<br />
Ross, highlights local earmarks<br />
from the recent budget signed by<br />
Gov. Baker. As Sen. Ross writes:<br />
“I am pleased that the budget<br />
signed by Governor Baker<br />
includes funding for many important<br />
programs and projects<br />
throughout my district. This<br />
funding will go a long way in improving<br />
the quality of education<br />
at our schools, providing transportation<br />
to our citizens, especially<br />
seniors, improving streets<br />
and dams, and fighting the opioid<br />
epidemic. There is more I wish<br />
we had done, as far as cost saving<br />

Dean College<br />
Presents: Footloose,<br />
the Musical,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 14-18<br />

he is not prepared for the<br />
strict religious local edicts, which<br />
include a total ban on dancing.<br />
Ren breaks all the rules in trying<br />
to restore dance to the heart of<br />
a community held back by lingering<br />
memories of a tragedy.<br />
In addition to the original film<br />
score’s songs, such as “Let’s Hear<br />
it for the Boy,” “Holding out<br />
for a Hero,” and the title song,<br />
“Footloose,” dynamic new songs<br />
written specifically for the stage<br />
production are sure to get you to<br />
your feet!<br />
Music by Tom Snow; Lyrics<br />
by Dean Pitchford with additional<br />
music by: Eric Carmen,<br />
Sandy Hagar, Kenny Loggins,<br />
and Jim Steinman; Stage Adaptation:<br />
Dean Pitchford and Walter<br />
Bobbie.<br />

Tiered Focused Monitoring Review<br />
at BFCCPS Second Week of Month<br />
Heather Zolnowski, Executive<br />
Director of the Benjamin<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> Classical Charter Public<br />
School was informed by the<br />
Department of Elementary and<br />
Secondary Education of an upcoming<br />
Tiered Focused Monitoring<br />
(TFM) Review that will<br />
be taking place this school year.<br />
As part of this TFM Review,<br />
Department staff will visit the<br />
charter school during the week<br />
of <strong>November</strong> 12, <strong>2018</strong>. Such visits<br />
are routinely conducted by the<br />
Department to satisfy federal and<br />
state requirements for the periodic<br />
review of specific education<br />
programs and services in schools<br />
throughout the Commonwealth.<br />
The Department is reviewing<br />
several programs during a single<br />
visit in order to use Department<br />
and school staff ’s time most efficiently<br />
and to encourage strong<br />
connections among the programs.<br />
The Department’s TFM<br />
Review will involve reviewing<br />
charter school procedures and<br />
individual student records, interviewing<br />
administrators and<br />
a Special Education Parent Advisory<br />
Council member, and<br />
surveying parents of students<br />
with IEPs. After the onsite visit,<br />
a report will be prepared for the<br />
Executive Director and Board of<br />
Directors, with detailed findings.<br />
Using a scale of ratings ranging<br />
from “Commendable” to<br />
“Not Implemented,” the report<br />
will rate the implementation<br />
of each requirement reviewed<br />
by the Department. Where<br />
requirements are found not<br />
implemented or only partially<br />
implemented, the district [or<br />
charter school] must propose to<br />
the Department corrective action<br />
to bring those areas into<br />
compliance with statutes and<br />
regulations. Districts and schools<br />
are encouraged to incorporate<br />
the corrective action into their<br />
district and school improvement<br />
plans and professional development<br />
plan. The school district [or<br />
charter school] will be provided<br />
with technical assistance from<br />
the Department in developing a<br />
corrective action plan. Both the<br />
Department’s report and the<br />
corrective action plan are public<br />
information and will be available<br />
to the public upon request. TFM<br />
Review Final Reports are also<br />
available on the Department’s<br />
Internet website at: http://www.<br />
doe.mass.edu/pqa/review/cpr/<br />
reports/.<br />
Any member of the public<br />
may request to be interviewed<br />
by telephone by a member of<br />
the Department’s visiting team.<br />
Those wishing to be interviewed<br />
should call the charter school<br />
leader’s office at (508) 541-3434<br />
no later than 11/9/<strong>2018</strong> to leave<br />
their name and phone number,<br />
or they may call the Department<br />
of Elementary and Secondary<br />
Education at (781) 338-3704. A<br />
member of the visiting team will<br />
contact each person desiring an<br />
interview within two weeks after<br />
the completion of the onsite visit.<br />
If an individual is not comfortable<br />
communicating in English<br />
or requires some other accommodation,<br />
the Department will<br />
make arrangements to communicate<br />
appropriately with the individual.<br />

<strong>Franklin</strong> Turkey Trot Helps Feed Local Families in Need<br />
5K Family Fun Run Benefits <strong>Franklin</strong> Food Pantry<br />
For the hundreds who will<br />
come out on Thanksgiving morning<br />
for the <strong>Franklin</strong> Turkey Trot<br />
5K Family Fun Run, the motto is<br />
“Run now, gobble later!” When<br />
families gather together for their<br />
traditional feast after the event,<br />
there will be many more grateful<br />
for the bounty that results from<br />
the race. The registration fee of<br />
$20, or 20 nonperishable goods,<br />
goes directly to the <strong>Franklin</strong> Food<br />
Pantry, keeping donations local<br />
to help feed those in need.<br />
The event begins and ends<br />
at the Church of Jesus Christ of<br />
Latter Day Saints (LDS Church)<br />
at 91 Jordan Road in <strong>Franklin</strong>.<br />
The race, open to runners<br />
and walkers of all ages, attracts<br />
experienced runners as well as<br />
families who want to get out and<br />
exercise together before their<br />
traditional holiday get-together.<br />
A professional race organizer officially<br />
records timing, pace and<br />
rankings for each runner.<br />
“Thanksgiving is truly a time<br />
to be grateful for the many blessings<br />
we have,” said Erin Lynch,<br />
executive director for the <strong>Franklin</strong><br />
Food Pantry. “But it is also an<br />
occasion to think of others who<br />
are struggling to put food on<br />
their tables. The <strong>Franklin</strong> Turkey<br />
Trot rallies our community to<br />
give back and help protect others<br />
from the threat of hunger. The<br />
nearly 1,000 individuals we serve<br />
are grateful to our community for<br />
coming out to support us.”<br />
The <strong>November</strong> 22 race will<br />
begin at 8 a.m. Registration can<br />
be done online at franklinturkeytrot.org;<br />
at the LDS Church from<br />
7 – 9 p.m. the Wednesday before<br />
the race; or the morning of the<br />
race from 7 – 8 a.m. Official race<br />
t-shirts can be purchased online<br />
for $10 for those who register by<br />
<strong>November</strong> 2.<br />
The registration fee of $20 is<br />
preferred as it allows the Pantry,<br />
which is dependent entirely on<br />
donations, to “stretch our budget<br />
for leaner times,” said Lynch.<br />
“Our capacity to store the donated<br />
goods is extremely limited<br />

prefer to donate goods, Lynch<br />
said they can check the list of<br />
current needs on the Pantry’s<br />
Many who come out for the <strong>Franklin</strong> Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving<br />
morning don creative hats and attire to show off their festive spirit.<br />

Lynch is grateful for the hard<br />
work of Race Director Krystal<br />
Whitmore who volunteers her<br />
time and energy to coordinating<br />
this traditional event. “We are<br />
fortunate to have an incredibly<br />
hard-working group of volunteers,<br />
led by Krystal, who make<br />
this event possible,” said Lynch.<br />
“Krystal organizes church members,<br />
high school students, and<br />
her own family members to volunteer.<br />
The amount of work involved<br />
is amazing. We could not<br />
do this without them.”<br />

Dr. Michael Botticelli for a<br />
Conversation with Community<br />
Leaders to an event at the <strong>Franklin</strong><br />
Country Club. Also in attendance<br />
was Rep. Jeff Roy, Rep.<br />
Sean Dooley and aide from Rep.<br />
Spilka’s office.<br />
Affectionately known as the<br />
“drug czar,” Botticelli is the Executive<br />
Director of the Grayken<br />
Center for Addiction Medicine<br />
at Boston Medical Center. He<br />
previously served as the director<br />
of the White House Office<br />
of National Drug Control<br />
Policy (ONDCP) from March<br />
2014 until the end of President<br />
Obama’s term. Prior to joining<br />
ONDCP, he worked in the MA<br />
Department of Public Health,<br />
and he understands addiction<br />
from the perspective of one who<br />
treats, and one who suffers.<br />
The night began with an overview<br />
on what S.A.F.E. has accomplished<br />
by S.A.F.E. president<br />
Jennifer Knight-Levine. Knight-<br />
Levine noted that substance<br />
abuse disorder is a leading cause<br />
of death among men and women<br />
in their 20s, 30s and 40s. She described<br />
the evolution of S.A.F.E.<br />
Some of the milestones and<br />
future plans S.A.F.E. has made<br />
include:<br />
• Community Conversations,<br />
a series of discussions with<br />
town and school district administrators,<br />
the first one<br />
planned for the town of<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> in <strong>November</strong>. (see<br />
the S.A.F.E. Facebook page<br />
for further details.)<br />
• Hidden in Plain Sight displays<br />
and Narcan® and CPR<br />
training: S.A.F.E. has recently<br />
been MCSR Certified and<br />
can purchase and train in the<br />
use of Narcan<br />
• Mobile Grief Counseling:<br />
S.A.F.E. has enlisted<br />
the help of grief counselor<br />
Megan Brewer to help families<br />
who’ve lost loved ones to<br />
SAD.<br />
• Established High School Peer<br />
to Peer groups<br />
• Increased Local Support<br />
Groups<br />
• Established a Support Line<br />
(508) 488-8105.<br />
• Published and then updated<br />
a Resource Manual for families<br />
dealing with SAD. This<br />
copyrighted manual can be<br />
adapted for other districts.<br />
• Work to increase medicine<br />
disposal options<br />
• Increased support in helping<br />
families file Section 35<br />
• Increased referrals for mental<br />
health support<br />
• Produces a quarterly newsletter<br />
• Comedy Show for Awareness<br />
• Employee Support<br />
• Public Community Events<br />
Knight-Levine then introduced<br />
Rep. Jeffrey Roy, who introduced<br />
Dr. Botticelli.<br />
Botticelli began by praising<br />
the gathering of community<br />
members, law enforcement,<br />
health care providers and legislators<br />
noting that their willingness<br />
to come together to address the<br />
problem of substance abuse disorder<br />
was “emblematic. The true<br />
measurement of what we do is<br />
what happens at the local level,”<br />
he said. “All prevention is local.”<br />
“This epidemic doesn’t exist<br />
in a vacuum,” continued Botticelli.<br />
“Conditions must be right<br />
for it to take hold. We can’t talk<br />
about the current epidemic without<br />
highlighting the role stigma<br />
has played. It keeps people from<br />
asking for help and from seeking<br />
care.”<br />
Stigma, said Botticelli, even<br />
manifests itself in clinical care,<br />
in the language used to describe<br />
those with substance abuse disorder,<br />
and in media coverage.<br />
In medical training, he continued,<br />
the subject of addiction has<br />
often been optional, (although he<br />
has worked to ensure that every<br />
doctor now has at least minimal<br />
treatment in SAD), and both<br />
public and private insurance<br />
have not offered treatment benefits.<br />
In Massachusetts, said Botticelli,<br />
“Only 10-14% of (those<br />
with addiction) get care and<br />
treatment. 85% of people with<br />
Diabetes get care. Why? We usually<br />
wait until people reach the<br />
most acute level before we refer<br />
them. It’s not the same with hypertension.”<br />
Botticelli noted that only 8%<br />
of those referred to treatment<br />
come from health care centers,<br />
while the plurality (36%) are<br />
coming from the criminal justice<br />
system.”<br />
In addition, Botticelli pointed<br />
to what’s going on in the community<br />
as playing a role in the<br />
epidemic. The declining life expectancy<br />
among men, for example,<br />
he said, was related to drug<br />
overdose, suicide, and diseases relating<br />
to alcoholism -- also known<br />
as diseases of despair. Are community<br />
members lacking in education,<br />
are they socially isolated,<br />
engaged in school or in faith, he<br />
asked. Community engagement<br />
was important in stemming<br />
harmful behaviors.<br />
“The good news is, we have<br />
solutions,” said Botticelli, who<br />
added he wanted to support<br />
those who are tackling the problem<br />
on a local level. Preventing<br />
early use, for example is important<br />
(and more cost effective than<br />

treatment) as is employing highly<br />
effective and under-utilized pharmaceutical<br />
treatments.<br />
“People do better when<br />
they’re on medicine and they<br />
get the support they need,” said<br />
Botticelli, “but only 5% of those<br />
who have had a nonfatal overdose<br />
get on methadone.” The<br />
expert praised law enforcement<br />
for its role in pushing for treatment<br />
options, but lamented that<br />
those who have suffered an overdose<br />
are 120 times more likely to<br />
suffer a fatal overdose than the<br />
general public. Parent education<br />
and support is crucial, he said, as<br />
well as is employer support.<br />

Clock Returned to its Main St. Location<br />
Kevin R. Goffe, President<br />
and CEO of Dean Bank, has<br />
announced that, as part of the<br />
bank’s major renovation of its<br />
downtown <strong>Franklin</strong> headquarters,<br />
the historic stained-glass<br />
clock has been returned to its<br />
Main St. location.<br />
Goffe stated that the bank almost<br />
lost the clock a few months<br />
ago when the base of its metal<br />
frame began to collapse due to<br />
rust. An emergency call to local<br />
sign company Signs by Cam resulted<br />
in a successful salvage operation<br />
before any permanent<br />
damage occurred. Repair and<br />
reconstruction was performed by<br />
Electric Time, Co. in Medfield,<br />
MA. The project was completed<br />
on September 14th with a rededication<br />
ceremony on Main St.<br />
Goffe added that the clock<br />
has been a part of downtown<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong>’s history for at least the<br />
last 100 years. “We have photos<br />

of our original Main St. bank<br />
building dating as far back as<br />
1918 or so and the clock can be<br />
seen prominently affixed to the<br />
building’s exterior. It’s a unique<br />
timepiece as the face is made entirely<br />
of stained glass. Protecting<br />
and returning it to the downtown<br />
landscape was a priority of ours<br />
and we’re relieved that we were<br />
able to salvage it before it too<br />
much damage took place.”<br />
Goffe added that when the<br />
bank moved across Main St. to<br />
what is now the Vallee’s Jewelers<br />
building, the clock was stored in<br />
the basement and disappeared<br />
from view for about 30 years.<br />
It wasn’t until 1980 or so, when<br />
the bank moved back across the<br />
street to its current 21 Main St.<br />
location that James Vallee, owner<br />
of Vallee Jewelers discovered it in<br />
storage, restored it and donated it<br />
to Dean Bank.<br />
“Dean Bank is extremely<br />
grateful to the Vallee family for<br />
returning a piece of <strong>Franklin</strong>’s<br />
history to its rightful location on<br />
Main St. It looks better than ever<br />
now and we hope that residents<br />
appreciate its beauty and its legacy<br />
as part of the fabric of downtown.<br />
We hope that travelers to<br />
our downtown enjoy seeing it as<br />
much as we do.”<br />
Dean Bank, founded in 1889, is<br />
a Massachusetts state-chartered,<br />
mutually owned institution with<br />
assets of $300 million. The bank<br />
has offices located in <strong>Franklin</strong>,<br />
Blackstone, Bellingham, and<br />
Mendon. As a member of both<br />
the FDIC and the SIF, the bank’s<br />
deposits are insured in full.<br />

<strong>Franklin</strong> Knights of Columbus<br />
Thanksgiving Pie Sale Taking Orders<br />
Get a Great Pie from Montilio’s Bakery for Just $15 a Pie!<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
The Knights of Columbus<br />
Sacred Heart Council 1847<br />
in <strong>Franklin</strong>’s first ever Annual<br />
Thanksgiving Pie Sale is not<br />
just for members of St. Mary’s<br />
Church, it’s for everyone in<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong>.<br />
It’s not just for members of<br />
St. Mary’s Church, says <strong>Franklin</strong><br />
Knights’ Deputy Grand Knight<br />
Jim Lane<br />
“We’re going to take orders<br />
from outside,” says Lane, “The<br />
only thing they’ll have to do is<br />
pick them up on <strong>November</strong> 20th.<br />
They can call me weeknights,<br />
and we’ll make sure they get an<br />
order form to fill out and sign.<br />
We can actually email an order<br />
form or they can visit our website<br />
(https://kofc1847.org/).”<br />
For $15 per pie, order a highquality,<br />
freshly-baked Mile-High<br />
Apple, Blueberry, Pumpkin<br />
or Pecan pie from the famous<br />
Montilio’s Bakery for your<br />
Thanksgiving table. Pick up your<br />
Thanksgiving pie orders at the<br />
front of the church on Tuesday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 20, <strong>2018</strong>, from 3-6<br />
p.m. All proceeds support the<br />
ongoing charitable efforts of the<br />
Knights of Columbus.<br />
The Knights will also be accepting<br />
Thanksgiving pie orders<br />
in the back of the Church after<br />
all Masses on Saturday, <strong>November</strong><br />
3, <strong>2018</strong> and Sunday, <strong>November</strong><br />
4, <strong>2018</strong> after all Masses.<br />
Order forms will be available<br />
at the entrances of the Church.<br />
We will collect your Thanksgiving<br />
Pie orders and payment after<br />
Masses on Saturday, <strong>November</strong><br />
10, <strong>2018</strong> at the 4 p.m. Mass and<br />
after ALL the Sunday, <strong>November</strong><br />
11, <strong>2018</strong> Masses. Orders must be<br />
completed by <strong>November</strong> 11th.<br />
Lane explains that the <strong>Franklin</strong><br />
group has modeled its pie fundraiser<br />
after one that’s been done<br />
by the Knights of Columbus in<br />
Mansfield.<br />
“They’ve been doing it for<br />
40 years and have a gentleman<br />
named Brian Healey, the coordinator<br />
for it. He has spent tremendous<br />
hours and time with the<br />
documentation, letters going to<br />
Montilio’s the supplier – we even<br />
have certificates made to thank<br />
the supplier.” Lane explains that<br />
members of the Catholic men’s’<br />
charitable group volunteer to<br />
box, string and label the pies,<br />
working with Montilio’s staff.<br />
The four flavors available<br />
were carefully chosen due to their<br />
popularity, says Lane.<br />
“People are really focused on<br />
flavors at Thanksgiving,” says<br />
Lane. Pecan, for example, was<br />
very popular, but despite pecans<br />
being expensive, “Montilio’s is<br />
going to sacrifice a lot of margin<br />
just to provide the pies to us. The<br />
cost on pecan is far above (our<br />
price), but they do it as kind of a<br />
charity thing,” says Lane.<br />
You don’t have to just purchase<br />
a pie for yourself. You can<br />

use this great deal on bakeryquality<br />
pies to donate pies to<br />
the <strong>Franklin</strong> Senior Center. The<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> Knights chose to work<br />
with this charity, Lane says, because<br />
“the <strong>Franklin</strong> Senior Center<br />
is one of our leading senior<br />
facilities, and we have so many<br />
seniors in <strong>Franklin</strong>. It’s really<br />
popular and great.”<br />
The Knights of Columbus in<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> are a constant presence<br />
in the town.<br />
“We just (participated in) the<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> Downtown Partnership<br />
Harvest Festival,” says Lane,<br />
“and we just finished our Tootsie<br />
Roll drive.” The Knights are active<br />
volunteers for the St. Vincent<br />
de Paul Walk for the Poor each<br />
September, sponsor memorial<br />
Masses for families of passed<br />
Knights of Columbus members,<br />
will hold a movie “Knight”<br />
for children on <strong>November</strong> 23,<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, and sponsor an Annual<br />
Free Throw Basketball Shooting<br />
Contest at the Hockomock<br />
YMCA (this year’s will take place<br />
on January 19, 2019). In December,<br />
the Knights will man a table<br />
outside <strong>Franklin</strong>’s Stop & Shop<br />
to run a gift card drive for St.<br />
Mary’s Church’s St. Vincent de<br />
Paul Society.<br />

<strong>Franklin</strong> Food Pantry Honors Volunteers<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong> Food Pantry volunteers<br />
were honored recently with<br />
special recognition awards for<br />
their extraordinary service.<br />
Eight volunteers were presented<br />
with the President’s Volunteer<br />
Service Award, which is<br />
an initiative of the Corporation<br />
for National and Community<br />
Service. “Through a shared mission<br />
of inspiring more to answer<br />
the call to service, the President’s<br />
Volunteer Service Award celebrates<br />
the impact we can all<br />
make in bettering our communities<br />
and our world,” says the organization’s<br />
website.<br />
At the annual recognition luncheon<br />
honoring volunteers, Erin<br />
Lynch, Pantry executive director,<br />
was joined by State Representative<br />
Jeff Roy and <strong>Franklin</strong> town<br />
officials Jeff Nutting and Jamie<br />
Hellen.<br />
“Presidential recognition sets<br />
you apart from your peers,” said<br />
Roy in presenting the awards.<br />
“It is a tremendous honor. Even<br />
though you may not seek recognition,<br />
your example delivers a<br />
powerful message that encourages<br />
others to take action.<br />
“We are all involved in this<br />
journey called life. Good character<br />
reminds us that we must keep<br />
an eye out for one another and<br />
make an extra effort to encourage<br />
one another. And to you volunteers<br />
who gave your measure<br />
State Representative Jeff Roy<br />

from food insecurity, we give our<br />
heartfelt thanks.”<br />
Sue Strittmatter, executive<br />
assistant, received the Gold<br />
Award for more than 500 hours<br />
of service during the year. Silver<br />
Awards for 250 – 499 hours of<br />
service were given to Molly Kilburn,<br />
information and resource<br />
coordinator; Dan Davis, code<br />
specialist; and Donna O’Neill,<br />
client services and trainer. Bronze<br />
Awards for 100 – 249 hours of<br />
service were given to Dave Strittmatter,<br />
driver; Diane Daddario,<br />
inventory; Kym Pruitt, stocker<br />
and client services; and Jeanne<br />
Hummel, client services and Mobile<br />
Pantry.<br />
“We are truly fortunate<br />
to have such devoted and<br />
compassionate volunteers,” said<br />
Lynch. “We count on so many<br />
volunteers in our operation of<br />
the Pantry. Their dedication is<br />
extraordinary, with many giving<br />
us a weekly, and sometimes a<br />
daily commitment. They make<br />
it possible for us to serve the<br />
nearly 1,000 individuals who<br />
count on us.”<br />
Along with the ultimate honor<br />
of presidential recognition,<br />
award recipients received a personalized<br />
certificate, an official<br />
medallion, and a congratulatory<br />
letter from the President of the<br />
United States.<br />
Volunteers donated nearly<br />
5,000 hours of service to the<br />
Pantry last year. They work directly<br />
with clients in the Pantry<br />
store, pick up food from local<br />
grocers and farms and deliver<br />
it to the Pantry, stock and organize<br />
shelves, and assist with the<br />
Weekend Backpack Program<br />
and Mobile Pantry. The Pantry<br />
relies on more than 60 volunteers<br />
each month to fulfill all the operational<br />
responsibilities.<br />

Flashes and Floaters<br />
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,<br />
Milford <strong>Franklin</strong> Eye Center<br />
Many patients will be aware<br />
of small flying “black spots”<br />
in the field of vision in one or<br />
both eyes. These are called floaters<br />
and may be associated with<br />
flashes of light. Flashes and floaters<br />
may have serious implications<br />
on the vision.<br />
What are floaters?<br />
Floaters are small black shadows<br />
in the vision of one or both<br />
eyes, especially when looking at a<br />
specific surface like a white page,<br />

a bright sky or perhaps when<br />
walking on the beach. These<br />
black spots are impurities in the<br />
fluid that fills the back cavity of<br />
the eye. This jelly fluid is called<br />
the “vitreous” and is a thick fluid<br />
which has a consistency similar<br />
to egg white. This vitreous fluid is<br />
present in the eye from birth, and<br />
is not replaced or exchanged during<br />
life. It is initially attached to<br />
the surface of the retina, which<br />
is the light sensitive nerve tissue<br />
layer that lines the back surface<br />
of the wall of the eye. It is important<br />
to note that it is not necessarily<br />
abnormal to see black spots in<br />

the vision. The size and number<br />
of floaters seen is variable; some<br />
patients (especially short sighted<br />
people) will be aware of numerous<br />
floaters, while others may<br />
never be aware of the symptom<br />
at all. Some floaters can interfere<br />
severely with vision, while others<br />
are barely noticeable. Although<br />
annoying, floaters are usually<br />
harmless, and come and go over<br />
the years.<br />
What are flashes?<br />
Flashes are usually caused by<br />
the vitreous body tugging on the<br />
retina. This tugging occurs when<br />
the vitreous body shrinks as a<br />
normal part of the aging process.<br />
Flashes may last for a few<br />
seconds or several minutes, and<br />
can occur on and off for weeks or<br />
months. They are usually seen at<br />
night or in poor lighting.<br />
Eye migraine can cause the<br />
perception of similar light flashes<br />
although often these flashes of<br />
light may have numerous colors.<br />
The abnormal light flashes seen<br />
with migraines are usually very<br />
different, appearing as jagged<br />
lines blocking an area of vision<br />
or moving slowly across the field<br />
of vision in one or both eyes.<br />
People who suffer from migraine<br />
headaches will often know the<br />
familiar pattern of these visual<br />
experiences, often occurring<br />
just before the headaches begin.<br />
These migraine flashes are unrelated<br />
to the vitreous body and its<br />
attachment to the retina.<br />
What causes flashes and<br />
floaters?<br />
The vitreous is composed of<br />
collagen, and this undergoes<br />
structural changes with age,<br />
and will become more liquid<br />
like and watery in later life. At<br />
some point, the chemical bonds<br />
that link the vitreous fluid to the<br />
surface of the retina will become<br />
weaker and the vitreous jelly will<br />
separate from the retina. This<br />
process is called posterior vitreous<br />
detachment or PVD and is<br />
a normal consequence of aging.<br />
Approximately half of us will<br />
have a PVD in one or both eyes<br />
by the age of 60. PVD will often<br />
cause us to notice the sudden<br />
onset of new floaters, often associated<br />
with flashes of light. Unfortunately,<br />
the vitreous body is<br />
sometimes more firmly attached<br />
to the surface of the retina and<br />
may pull away a piece of the<br />
retina or tear the retina as it<br />
separates. This can cause fluid to<br />
escape, pushing the retina off the<br />
inside of the eye. This is known<br />
as retinal detachment, which is a<br />
serious threat to sight. Surgery is<br />
needed to reattach the retina if a<br />
retinal detachment occurs.<br />
When should I seek help?<br />
See your ophthalmologist if<br />
new floaters appear, with or without<br />
sudden light flashes. Any loss<br />
of peripheral (side) vision should<br />
be investigated without a delay.<br />
Your ophthalmologist will give<br />
you a complete eye examination.<br />
Drops are put in the eyes to enlarge<br />
the pupils and determine<br />
whether PVD, retinal tear, retinal<br />
detachment or bleeding is present.<br />
If you have occasional floaters<br />
and flashes, you should have<br />
an annual eye examination.<br />
Symptoms of a PVD most<br />
often occur in one eye at a time.<br />
Even though your ophthalmologist<br />
will check both eyes at the<br />
first visit, it is important to realize<br />
that if similar symptoms are<br />
experienced in the other eye, you<br />
should see your ophthalmologist<br />
again with the onset of new<br />
flashes or floaters as you could be<br />
having a PVD in this eye.<br />
Is there any treatment for<br />
flashes and floaters?<br />
Flashes and floaters are usually<br />
just annoying, not harmful.<br />
However, they can be signs of serious<br />
problems (like a tear on the<br />
retina) and, for this reason, must<br />
not be ignored. For most people,<br />
treatment is not necessary. Floaters<br />
and flashes usually subside<br />
over time, causing no permanent<br />
deterioration to vision.<br />
At Milford <strong>Franklin</strong> Eye Center,<br />
we use state-of-the-art laser<br />
technology to treat a variety of<br />
eye problems, including retinal<br />
tears with full evaluation of<br />
flashes and floaters. When those<br />
are associated with a retinal tear,<br />
we have in our practice a dedicated<br />
retina specialist specializing<br />
in the treatment of retinal<br />
eye disease. Our retina specialist<br />
is an internationally known expert<br />
in his field and is on staff at<br />
Harvard Medical School. We are<br />
the area’s leading eye care practice,<br />
and we continue to bring<br />
you world class eye care closer to<br />
home.<br />

MASSAGE HEALS YOU<br />
While we all feel compelled<br />
to be busy and feel connected,<br />
it is necessary to occasionally get<br />
away from the stresses of daily<br />
life. Along with meditation,<br />
endorphin-inducing exercise,<br />
and a steam bath or sauna, few<br />
things help to reduce stress more<br />
than massage. This “laying of<br />
the hands” is scientifically proven<br />
to ease pain, reduce swelling,<br />
promote flexibility (by stretching<br />
and relaxing muscles), flush the<br />
by-products of muscular activity<br />
(lactic and pyruvic acids) from<br />
tired muscles, and break up<br />
fibrous tissues and loosen stiff<br />
joints. If you exercise regularly,<br />
a deep-tissue massage will help<br />
speed recovery and improve<br />
your stamina. Even if you do<br />
not have the time to exercise<br />
regularly, massage can help you<br />
keep in tune with your body and<br />
improve flexibility.<br />
Even a single massage session<br />
has been shown to significantly<br />
lower heart rate, cortisol and<br />
insulin levels - all of which help<br />
reduce daily stress. One of the<br />
telltale signs of anxiety and<br />
stress is constricted breathing.<br />
Massage can play an important<br />
role in relieving respiratory<br />
issues and training the body<br />
how to relax. At MACMED<br />
SPA SALON & MEDICAL,<br />
our team of professionals offers<br />
massages that will leave you<br />
feeling relaxed and ready to take<br />
on all that life throws at you!<br />

Tri County Golfer Brody Dalzell Drives<br />
forward in His 2nd Year<br />
By Christopher Tremblay, Staff<br />
Sports Writer<br />
Growing up in a household in Wrentham<br />
where his father played golf on a<br />
regular basis Brody Dalzell finally decided<br />
to give the sport a try. Already playing<br />
hockey as a forward and lacrosse as an<br />
attackmen, Dalzell didn’t know what to<br />
expect from golf, but once he tried it he<br />
found that he was hooked.<br />
“My dad was a golfer, so I decided to go<br />
out with him one day to see what it was all<br />
about,” the Tri County sophomore said.<br />
“I was not very good at all, but once I hit a<br />
shot, it was very satisfying, and I wanted to<br />
continue the sport and chase satisfaction.”<br />
Dalzell began playing golf at 4 Kicks<br />
in Norfolk, but soon found out that the<br />
smaller course was not giving him the full<br />
feeling so he began playing at the Bungay<br />
Brook golf course in Bellingham. Not too<br />
long later, he decided to give the sport a<br />
try on the high school level as an incoming<br />
freshman.<br />
“I was enjoying the sport, so I figured<br />
I’d give it a try in high school,” he said.<br />
“During tryouts, I found myself very nervous,<br />
but I knew that I could make the<br />
team despite only playing for two years.”<br />
While he was full of confidence during<br />
tryouts, playing in his first match on the<br />
Tri County varsity team was the total opposite.<br />
Dalzell was a total wreck, and as he<br />
sat on the bus top, he was not only very<br />
quiet, but he was also nervous and trying<br />
to focus. Unfortunately, the then freshman<br />
couldn’t come to grips with his nervousness<br />
and didn’t play particularly well that<br />
afternoon.<br />
It would be another two or three<br />
matches before Dalzell settled down and<br />
found himself in the Cougar lineup.<br />
“Brody was eventually our number six<br />
golfer last year during his freshman year,”<br />
Tri County Coach Ryan Hippert said.<br />
“He was shooting in the high 40’s last fall<br />
and is averaging 43-44 so far this season<br />
while moving up to one of our better golfers.”<br />
In order to make the jump up to the<br />
top of the team’s depth chart, the Tri<br />
County athlete took lessons over the summer<br />
to improve his game. He had found<br />
that his short game (chipping and putting)<br />
was lacking on the golf course.<br />
Coming into the season, Hippert has<br />
noticed a difference in the sophomore’s<br />
approach to the game.<br />
“Not only is he a great kid, the rest of<br />
the team looks up to him, and he’s only a<br />
sophomore,” the Coach said. “Brody can<br />
hit the ball a mile and has a great chip shot<br />
and will definitely be a team captain next<br />
fall.”<br />
Dalzell would like to continue to improve<br />
his game, but his biggest goal is to<br />
return to the state tournament and shoot<br />
much better than he did as a freshman.<br />
The tournament also threw a curve in his<br />
game being that the golfers play 18 holes<br />
compared to the 9 they play during the<br />
season.<br />
As for the team, Dalzell would like to<br />
see the Cougars qualify for as many tournaments<br />
as they can.<br />
In addition to being a three-sport athlete,<br />
Dalzell is also a twin. His brother<br />
Bryce also plays the same three sports at<br />
Tri County.<br />
“It’s great playing with my brother<br />
Tri County Sophomore Brody Dalzell’s hard<br />
work on his golf game over the summer has<br />
earned the three-sport athlete better play<br />
this season and the respect of his peers.<br />
as there is a lot of chemistry between us<br />
whether it’s on the ice, the lacrosse field<br />
or the golf course,” he said. “On the ice is<br />
where we work the best, as I know where<br />
he is at all times. In lacrosse, we play different<br />
positions; Bryce is a defenseman.”<br />
While he loves his teammates dearly<br />
and loves having fun with them on the<br />
course, he also loves having his twin<br />
brother alongside. When Tri County wins<br />
in any of Dalzell’s three sports, his sibling<br />
will be there to celebrate along with the<br />
rest of his Cougar teammates.<br />

<strong>Franklin</strong> Girls Soccer Has a<br />
Three-point Plan for Tourney<br />
By KEN HAMWEY,<br />
Staff Sports Writer<br />
Tournament soccer is about to<br />
begin, and if the <strong>Franklin</strong> High<br />
girls squad hopes to advance, it’ll<br />
need to adhere to coach Tom<br />
Geysen’s three-point plan for<br />
“staying alive.’’<br />
“We must control the ball on<br />
offense, be able to finish plays and<br />
be physically healthy,’’ said Geysen<br />
who’s coached the program<br />
for 34 years and directed the<br />
2012 team to a state championship<br />
by defeating Nashoba. “I’m<br />
not sure how this year’s team will<br />
fare, and I wasn’t sure how well<br />
we’d do in 2012. You can lose in<br />
the tourney early on by running<br />
into a dynamic goalie, and being<br />
in a one-and-done situation is always<br />
a challenge.’’<br />
The Panthers’ goals at the<br />
start of the season were to be the<br />
best they could be and to qualify<br />
for the tourney. As far as improvement<br />
goes, Geysen’s corps<br />
can check that box. They’ve also<br />
sharpened their skills, thanks to<br />
playing in the demanding Kelly-<br />
Rex Division of the Hockomock<br />
League. The Panthers were 7-2-4<br />
at Local Town Pages deadline.<br />
“Our strengths are our work<br />
ethic, experience, athleticism,<br />
our soccer IQ, and our conditioning,’’<br />
Geysen noted. “My<br />
prime concern is staying healthy.<br />
During the last few years, we’ve<br />
gone into the tourney injured<br />
and bruised.’’<br />
Unfortunately, one of Geysen’s<br />
top players — captain Halle<br />
Atkinson —<br />
won’t be available for the playoffs.<br />
The four-year veteran, who<br />
could play forward, midfielder<br />
or defense, tore her ACL in the<br />
Mansfield game and is out for the<br />
season. “Halle was a key player,’’<br />
Geysen said. “She was versatile,<br />
athletic, fast and very capable.<br />
A three-sport athlete, she led by<br />
example.’’<br />
Atkinson’s absence hurts, but<br />
<strong>Franklin</strong>’s other two senior captains<br />
— central defender Grace<br />
Gallo and midfielder/forward<br />
Calen Frongillo — are skilled<br />
leaders who’ll likely play key roles<br />
in the tourney.<br />
“Grace has a high soccer IQ,<br />
is well-skilled, reads the game<br />
well and anticipates effectively,’’<br />
Geysen said. “Calen knows the<br />
game, gets good touches on the<br />
ball and is strong on corners and<br />
re-starts. Grace leads by example<br />
and so does Calen who can also<br />
be vocal.’’<br />
A trio of seniors who all play<br />
on the outside are talented and<br />
top-notch. They include Maddie<br />
Stewart (defender), Hailey Toolin<br />
(midfielder) and Emily Landry<br />
(defender).<br />
“Maddie is athletic and has<br />
excellent speed,’’ said Geysen.<br />
“Well-skilled, she’s very capable<br />
defending in key situations. Hailey<br />
also has speed, is tough and<br />
is strong in transition. She’s got<br />
good endurance and has developed<br />
a scoring touch. Emily is<br />
coachable, knows her position,<br />
has a high soccer IQ, can play<br />
angles well and isn’t afraid of<br />
contact.’’<br />
Two senior forwards, who<br />
Geysen labels as “aggressive and<br />
physical,’’ will be counted on<br />
in a strategic manner. “Kaylee<br />
DeSimone and Olivia Dellorco<br />
will be expected to put pressure<br />
on our opponents’ backs,’’<br />
said Geysen. “We want them to<br />
pressure the ball and disrupt offenses.’’<br />
The junior class has been<br />
a major plus this year and no<br />
doubt will display a high-quality<br />
skill level. Sabrina Addi is a central<br />
back, Carly Alston plays center<br />
midfield, Breanna Atwood<br />
is the Panthers’ goalie, Anna<br />
Balkus can play either forward<br />
or midfield and Sami Powderly<br />
can handle a midfield or back<br />
position.<br />
“Sabrina has size, is physical<br />
and skilled,’’ Geysen said. “She<br />
knows the game. Carly is skilled,<br />
has a high soccer IQ and gets<br />
good touches on the ball. Breanna<br />
is in her first year starting<br />
in goal. She’s very athletic, has<br />
excellent hands and is instinctive<br />
when the ball is hit. Her technique<br />
has improved and she’s<br />
more vocal. Anna creates opportunities<br />
because of her athleticism<br />
and excellent speed. She’s<br />
also quick, hard-working and<br />

stamina and is relentless.’’<br />
Two juniors — defenders<br />
CJ Buckley and Katie Nguyen<br />
— have been utilized in reserve<br />
roles this year and have displayed<br />
a solid work ethic.<br />
Outside midfielder Erin<br />
Quaile and forward Sydney St.<br />
Marie are high-profile sophomores<br />
who’ve earned Geysen’s<br />
praise. “Erin is a natural athlete,’’<br />
he noted. “She uses her body so<br />
well on both sides of the ball and<br />
she absorbs contact effectively.<br />
Sydney is tenacious, always<br />
going hard to the ball. She’s finishing<br />
better, and her work ethic<br />
is great. She’s like the Energizer<br />
bunny.’’<br />
Two soph reserves include<br />
goalie Julia Bertone, who has<br />
seen action on the jayvees, and<br />
midfielder Bridgette Ginley. Junior<br />
Hailey Donahue, a backup<br />
goalie like Bertone, has also<br />
played on the junior varsity and<br />
briefly with the varsity.<br />
Two freshmen who get lots<br />
of playing time include center<br />
midfielder Stella Regan and<br />
defender/forward Izzi Arnold.<br />
“Stella is small in stature but big<br />
on skills,’’ Geysen emphasized.<br />

Register O’Donnell Promotes<br />
Homestead Act<br />
Norfolk County Register of<br />
Deeds William P. O’Donnell<br />
today reminded homeowners<br />
about the importance of filing<br />
for Homestead protection.<br />
Under Massachusetts law, a<br />
Homestead recording provides<br />
for limited protection against<br />
the forced sale of an individual’s<br />
primary residence to satisfy unsecured<br />
debt up to $500,000.<br />
“For most people, their home<br />
is the most important financial<br />
asset they have,” noted Register<br />
O’Donnell. “If you own a home,<br />
and it is your primary residence,<br />
one way to protect it is to file a<br />
Homestead. The Homestead<br />
law also allows for the filing of<br />
an Elderly Homestead application,<br />
which defines an elder as a<br />
person who is 62 years of age or<br />
older. This protection can be increased<br />
if the elderly couple files<br />
jointly.”<br />
O’Donnell further stated,<br />
“The Homestead Law was significantly<br />
enhanced by an act of the<br />
Massachusetts Legislature back<br />
in 2011. Language in the new law<br />
states a valid Homestead cannot<br />
be terminated when refinancing<br />
a mortgage. Other changes include<br />
wording which states that a<br />
Homestead can provide protec-<br />

Register O’Donnell Warns<br />
Homeowners About Deed Scam<br />
Continuing his efforts to combat<br />
consumer fraud, Norfolk<br />
County Register of Deeds William<br />
P. O’Donnell is once again<br />
advising county residents to disregard<br />
a direct-mail solicitation<br />
offering them a certified copy of<br />
their property deed for an outrageous<br />
fee of anywhere from<br />
$59.50-$86.<br />
Register O’Donnell stated,<br />
“Currently, there is a California<br />
company that continues to send<br />
direct-mail solicitations to unsuspecting<br />
homeowners asking<br />
them to send a check for $86 to<br />
receive a copy of their deed. If a<br />
consumer knew that the Registry<br />
of Deeds would provide them the<br />

same certified copy of a property<br />
deed for a charge of only $1 per<br />
page, plus an additional $1 for<br />
postage, they would never agree<br />
to pay such an outrageous fee for<br />
service. The average price for a<br />
mailed homeowner’s deed by<br />
the Registry (usually two pages)<br />
is $3.”<br />
“These solicitations,” noted<br />
O’Donnell, “are labeled Recorded<br />
Deed Notice and request<br />
that the homeowner forward a<br />
check in the amount of $86 for a<br />
copy of their deed. The Registry<br />
has been contacted by many who<br />
have received this solicitation.<br />
Do not fall for this scam.”<br />
If you receive such a deed solicitation<br />
notice, please contact<br />
the Registry’s Customer Service<br />
Center immediately at (781)<br />
461-6101 or by email at registerodonnell@norfolkdeeds.org.<br />
Additionally, if you desire a copy<br />
of your own deed, also contact<br />
the Registry’s Customer Service<br />
Center and we will be glad to<br />
provide you with one for a nominal<br />
fee of usually $2-$3<br />

tions for a primary home even if<br />
it is kept in trust. The definition<br />
of a primary residence has been<br />
further expanded to include a<br />
manufactured or mobile home.”<br />
While a Homestead provides<br />
important protections for homeowners,<br />
it is important to note<br />
there are certain debts that are<br />
exempted from protection under<br />
the Homestead Act. These include<br />
federal, state and local tax<br />
liens, as well as mortgages contracted<br />
for the purchase of a primary<br />
home and nursing home<br />
liens. Most other mortgages,<br />
debts, and encumbrances existing<br />
prior to the filing of the Declaration<br />
of Homestead, along<br />
with probate court executions<br />
for spousal and child support,<br />
are also not covered under the<br />
Homestead protection statute.<br />
Homestead recordings can be<br />
filed at the Registry of Deeds for<br />
a state imposed fee of $36. To<br />
