St. Jude Catholic Church Plans 

60 th Anniversary Celebration 

By Grace Allen 

Next month, St. Jude Parish 

in Norfolk will celebrate the 

60 th anniversary of the church 

building’s consecration. A special 

Mass will be held on Sunday, 

December 8 at 10:30 a.m., 

followed by a luncheon in the 

church hall. 

Town and state dignitaries 

and local clergy have been 

invited to the event, as well as 

former St. Jude clergy. Several 

parishioners will share personal 

reflections. 

“We hope to emphasize our 

connection to the community 

at large with this event,” said 

Father Stephen Zukas, the pastor 

of St. Jude. “Everybody is 

welcome to our celebration, not 

just the Catholics in town.” 

St. Jude is part of a collaborative 

with St. Edward the Confessor, 

located in Medfield. The 

two parishes share a staff and 

resources as part of the ongoing 

effort by the Archdiocese of

of priests as well as dwindling 

attendance at Mass. 

Ideally, Catholic collaboratives 

are temporary arrangements, 

with the ultimate goal to 

break apart because the numbers 

of active parishioners and 

of people entering the priesthood 

have increased, explained 

Father Zukas.

Never Forget: 

A Conversation 

with Veterans 

By Marjorie Turner Hollman 

For many, Veterans’ Day is 

just another three-day weekend 

in the list of holidays our 

country observes each year. But 

for veterans, it is a lot more personal. 

We were offered the opportunity 

to spend some time 

with local veterans recently to 

talk a little about what branch 

of the military they served in, 

whether they served stateside 

or were deployed overseas, and 

some life lessons they learned 

along the way. 

We gathered at the Community 

of Pond Meadow and Pond 

Home, in Wrentham. The veterans 

who sat around the table 

had varied assignments. One 

fought in WWII, another in 

Korea, while another was sent 

to Vietnam. Others stayed stateside. 

While their experiences 

were varied, they shared a bond: 

they had all served their country, 

and not a single one present 

expressed regret that they had 

served. 

Edward Cavallari, originally 

from Northampton, served in 

WWII with the Army, witnessing 

the freeing of Paris from the 

Nazis, and much more. 

Joseph Vatkevich, from Osterville, 

served with the Army 

Corps of Engineers during 

the Korean conflict, helping to 

build bridges to facilitate the 

movement of troops throughout 

that country. He was involved 

in helping rescue a general who 

had been taken captive by the 

North Koreans. And yes, the 

general (and Joe) came out of 

the operation alive. 

Kathleen Slader, originally 

from Ohio, was entranced by 

WWII movies with nurses in the 

Navy, dancing onboard ships,

parishioners. About 50% of 

Norfolk residents identify as 

Catholic. 

A town-wide spirit of cooperation 

helped establish the only 

Roman Catholic church in Norfolk. 

The first Mass at the current 

St. Jude Church was celebrated 

on December 20, 1959. 

Prior to that, the approximately 

300 Catholics in Norfolk worshipped 

in surrounding towns, 

with some taking a bus on 

Sundays to Blessed Sacrament 

Church in Walpole. 

In 1947, the members of the 

Norfolk Grange offered the use 

of the hall for Catholic Mass. 

Boston’s archbishop at the time, 

Cardinal Richard Cushing, assigned 

Father Edward Bailey (a 

chaplain at the Norfolk prison) 

to Norfolk, and the new parish 

was established. 

With the permission of the 

archdiocese, the parish was 

named in honor of St. Jude, one 

of the original disciples of Jesus 

Christ. St. Jude, also known 

as Thaddaeus, was known for 

preaching the gospel in difficult 

circumstances, hence he is the 

patron saint of “hopeless cases, 

and things almost despaired of.” 

In “Norfolk Stories II,” an 

oral history book by the Norfolk 

Historical Commission, interviews 

with long-time Norfolk 

residents describe a combined 

effort by residents of all faiths to 

get St. Jude established. 

Brothers Richard and Paul 

Connors, now deceased, were 

interviewed in the book. They 

explained how their father 

Ross, who served in the Navy 

during World War II, arranged 

through the Navy to get chairs 

and benches with kneelers for 

Mass at the Grange. 

“We had to set that up every 

Sunday morning for a 9 a.m. 

Mass and then after Mass was 

over, take it down and put it 

away,” they noted. “In those 

days the community of Norfolk 

was such that everybody got 

together to do whatever they 

could to raise money for the 

church. We had card parties 

and whist parties. (Our) father 

brought up boxers from Quonset 

Point and we brought up a 

football team and they played 

against the prisoners inside the 

Rev. Stephen Zukas, the pastor 

of St. Jude. 

wall. Everybody in Norfolk was 

big on community service for 

the church.” 

By 1950, parishioners had 

raised enough money to purchase 

a large building in the 

center of town for church services. 

Mann’s Store, where 

Santander Bank is now located, 

was converted into a chapel and 

the attached home became the 

new rectory. Father Bailey was 

soon joined by Father Frederick 

Walsh, and St. Jude now 

celebrated three Masses each 

Sunday. 

Fundraising continued for 

the next few years with the ultimate 

goal of building a new 

church for the parish. Dances 

were held at the Legion Hall 

on Myrtle Street, and fairs were 

held in City Mills, and the entire 

community rallied behind 

the efforts. 

In 1957, the parish purchased 

the parcel of land where St. Jude 

now sits for $4,000. The church 

was built and the first Mass at 

the new St. Jude Church was 

celebrated two years later, presided 

over by Cardinal Cushing. 

A young priest named Robert 

Connor was the cross bearer for 

the ceremony. In 1991 he would 

become the pastor of St. Jude. 

A new rectory for the church, 

situated next door, was built in 

1982. 

Father Zukas has been the 

pastor of St. Jude for one and 

a half years, but was familiar 

with the town because he had 

friends in Norfolk while growing 

up. The anniversary celebration 

next month will touch on the 

church’s history and celebrate 

its future, he said. The church 

is striving to make inroads with 

the youth of the parish by building 

community through peer 

ministry and the Faith in Action 

program, which offers outreach 

opportunities to serve people in 

need. 

Through events like the recently-held 

church picnic and 

outdoor Mass (220 people attended 

the Mass, and 140 people 

attended the picnic), as well 

as youth outreach, Father Zukas 

hopes more people will identify 

with the parish. 

“Getting families to connect 

to the church and practicing 

their faith, that’s the goal for the 

future,” he said. 

Parishioners serving on the 

anniversary planning committee 

include Deborah Bergerson- 

Moore; Beth Budny; Maureen 

Cappuccino; Ann Cisneros; 

Terry Davis; Eileen Heneberry; 

Jane Hoffman; Mary Sheedy; 

and Joann Squitieri. Contact 

them with any questions by 

calling the church rectory: 508- 

528-0170. The committee is 

also looking for old photos and 

memorabilia to display at the 

celebration. 

The luncheon after the Mass 

will be provided by James Breakfast 

and More in Wrentham.

and when she found herself out 

of high school with no money to 

go to college, she went into the 

service, joining the Air Force. She 

served in peacetime, from 1960- 

1963 and remained stateside. 

Bill Rex was in the Air Force 

from 1954-1956, remaining 

stateside, and was trained in 

chemical and biological warfare. 

He took that training and went 

on to be a science teacher, spending 

the next 38 years in education. 

Roger Mitchell, from Wrentham, 

also remained stateside, 

serving in the Army National 

Guard from 1962-1968. 

Ed Kelly, from Franklin, went 

into the Army and served in Vietnam 

from 1968-1969. 

Each veteran has carried life 

lessons with them from their time 

in the military. 

Cavallari noted that he 

learned about handling finances, 

which was helpful when 

he started a supermarket with a 

partner after he was discharged 

in 1946. “When we were in the 

service we got no special privileges,” 

he recalled. 

Vatkevich pointed to the GI 

Bill. “After I got back I went to 

Bentley. The military offered 

me an education.” He also recounted 

spending an evening in 

Korea with the actor Raymond 

Burr, of Perry Mason fame. “We 

had an evening together, just the 

two of us, and a bottle of whiskey. 

He told me to look him up 

when I got back but I never had 

the chance. He wasn’t famous 

back then. Years later, when I 

was traveling through Virginia I 

noticed a sign for the Raymond 

Burr memorial, so I stopped to 

pay my respects.” 

Slader related that she had 

gotten training to be a medical 

technician. When she arrived 

at her first assignment, she was 

asked what she needed most 

to practice. “I had only drawn 

blood a few times, so I answered 

‘venipuncture.’ They pointed me 

to a room and by the end of the 

day I had drawn blood from fifty 

young, healthy men with great 

veins. I had gotten really good at 

drawing blood by the end of the 

day!” 

At his last physical before 

being shipped out to Vietnam, 

Kelly wondered what the Army 

would do with him—his right 

finger had been damaged in an

accident years before. “Don’t 

worry,” was the doctor’s answer. 

“We’ll teach you how to shoot.” 

And they did…. 

Several of the veterans who 

gathered in Wrentham described 

encountering racism while in the 

service. Vatkevich related a story. 

After going into a bar with a fellow 

service member, they were

smashed the glass on the counter. 

“My friend was black. That 

bartender had to serve my friend, 

but he was making sure no one 

else had to drink out of that 

glass again. That experience has 

stayed with me,” he said, shaking 

his head. 

Cavallari reflected on his time 

in the service and said, “You 

come out with a different outlook. 

You go from being a teenage 

kid to half a man, and then 

things start to happen. From 

there, you go from being a kid 

to a man. I lost a few of my best 

buddies. I’m in favor of mandatory 

service. It’s a form of discipline 

you get nowhere else. You 

learn how to get along, to obey 

rules and regulations, to do what 

you’re told, and accept responsibility.” 

Ed Kelly paused as the veterans 

finished up. After talking together 

for an hour or so he said, 

“It’s good hearing these stories.

splendor of The Nutcracker as 

FPAC stages its cherished annual 

production of the holiday classic 

with live orchestra, special 

guest artists from professional 

ballet companies, and more than 

100 area dancers. The Nutcracker 

remains a highly anticipated 

and treasured part of the FPAC 

season - a popular holiday tradition 

for more than 25 years. The 

world-famous ballet, set to Tchaikovsky’s 

beloved score, delights 

the imaginations of audiences 

young and old with a professional 

production at a reasonable 

price. Fall under Drosselmeyer’s 

dreamy spell and join Clara and 

her Nutcracker Prince on a journey 

full of surprises and wonder. 

The holidays are jolly and 

bright as ’Tis the Season! returns 

to entertain FPAC audiences 

with great merriment, fanfare, 

and fun December 14 and 15 at 

the Franklin High School Auditorium. 

An original large cast 

musical first presented by FPAC 

in 1995, ’Tis is an upbeat, jazzy 

extravaganza featuring members 

of the Kenny Hadley Big Band,

the season with FPAC. 

FPAC will present the world

people worldwide. Patrons 

are invited to be a part of the 

LIVE studio audience of a magical, 

tap-dance infused, holiday

Christopher Rice will bring his 

Christmas variety show to life 

and whirl the audience away to 

a world filled with classic holiday 

songs, tap dancing feet, and

the Royal Conservatory of Music 

(RCM) assessment sessions each 

year. The RCM assessment process 

represents an extremely exciting 

opportunity for students, 

on a national level, to demonstrate 

the skills that they have 

honed through practice. Locally, 

assessments are held at Encore 

Music Academy and Recording 

Studios, which is a Founding 

School and a regional assessment 

center for this internationally-acclaimed 

program. Student participants 

come from all around 

the New England area to take 

the assessments, while adjudicators 

travel from all across Canada 

in order to administer the exams. 

Not only do the adjudicators assess 

students based on ability to 

perform on the instrument of 

their choice within their skill 

level, but they also administer 

academic assessments in music 

theory, harmony, history, and 

analysis. 

The Royal Conservatory of 

Music provides a recognized 

national standard of success in 

music study from beginner to 

advanced levels. It inspires excellence 

through individual student 

assessments that are central to 

the Program, while also supporting

Chamber Music Concert Series Starts this Month 


Local music lovers can rejoice 

as the Federated Church of Norfolk’s 

popular chamber music 

concert series returns this month 

for the third year in a row. 

Under the direction of Daniel 

Dickson, the goal of the concert 

series is to expose families to 

high-caliber music at a reasonable 

price point while providing 

Boston musicians a place to play. 

According to Dickson, the first 

year the concert series focused on 

the classical genre, while in the 

second year the series presented 

a variety of ensembles. 

“We’re really trying to push 

the boundaries of what people 

know,” he explained. “This year 

we’re planning on doing some 

music that’s a little bit more modern, 

with music that was written 

in the last few years. We want 

to give people a sense of what’s 

out there, and to help them connect 

the dots of how music from 

Brahms and Beethoven has 

evolved to the music of today.” 

The concert series has been 

such a success that the number 

of concerts has been increased to 

seven this year. 

Dickson, a world-class classical 

pianist and cellist, served as 

the church’s music director until 

Daniel Dickson 

this past June, when he stepped 

down due to other responsibilities 

and class work at Boston 

University, where he is a candidate 

in the Doctorate of Music 

program. 

He is now the Artist-in- 

Residence at the church, and 

is tasked with putting together 

the repertoire and assembling 

the musicians for each concert. 

Once a month, he also assists 

the church’s new music director, 

Todor Stoinov, with music during 

church services. Stoinov is the director 

of Ivy Music Academy in 

Norfolk. 

The 26-year-old Dickson, who 

has performed all over the world, 

is scheduled to play in six of the 

seven concerts in the series. 

He also finds time to play with 

the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra. 

“It’s been an incredible experience 

for me, being one of 

the younger members in the 

symphony,” he said. “It’s amazing 

being around these legends. 

These are the people you dream 

about playing with when you’re 

really young.” 

Dickson says the Federated 

Church’s concert series has been 

well-received in Norfolk. Although 

the concerts take place in 

a church, people from all backgrounds 

can enjoy a world-class 

evening of music, something that 

is very important to him. 

“There’s so much good music 

out there and having a chance to 

perform for a hungry audience is 

every musician’s dream.” 

So head down to the Federated 

Church to hear chamber 

music at its finest. Visit the Federated 

Church’s website at www. 

fcon.org for more information.

Holistic Answers for Reflux 

Gastroesophageal Reflux 

Disease (GERD) is a common 

disorder that affects the lower 

esophageal sphincter, which is 

the ring of muscles that lies between 

the esophagus and the 

stomach. The most common 

symptoms of GERD are heartburn 

or acid indigestion. These 

occur when the lower esophageal 

sphincter is weak, and even 

though it opens to allow food to 

pass into the stomach, it doesn’t 

close properly so food and acidic 

juices reflux or return back up 

into the esophagus. 

The most common symptoms 

associated with GERD are 

dyspepsia (indigestion), gas and 

bloating, sore throat from acid 

reflux, chronic dry cough, hoarse 

voice, breathing issues, and vomiting; 

all occurring principally 

after eating. 

Dorothy M. visited The Holistic 

Center at Bristol Square complaining 

of chronic indigestion, 

gas, bloating after meals, and 

headaches. She was diagnosed 

with GERD by her primary care 

doctor but did not want to go 

on the suggestion prescription, 

Omeprazole. She had heard 

through a friend that symptoms 

of GERD could be managed 

holistically and wanted to explore 

that route before going on 

medication. 

Dorothy was put on a therapeutic 

diet, which removed the 

stressors that were aggravating 

her situation. Digestive enzymes 

were added with each meal to 

help rest the stomach so it could 

heal, and specific manual adjustments 

were performed to aide in 

closing the valve. After several 

weeks, Dorothy was already seeing 

significant results and noticed 

that her symptoms had decreased 

in frequency and intensity. 

If you are experiencing the 

symptoms from GERD and are 

looking for a holistic approach 

and solution, call The Holistic 

Center at Bristol Square, (508) 

660-2722, 1426 Main St., Walpole, 

and make an appointment 

with Dr. Michael Goldstein or 

Dr. Rochelle Bien today.

Wrentham Fire Department to Receive Over $1 Million 

Grant to Hire 6 New Firefighters 

Chief Antonio Marino and 

Town Administrator Kevin Sweet 

announced that the Wrentham 

Fire Department was awarded a 

grant over $1 million to fund the 

hiring of six new firefighters for 

the department. 

Distributed by the Federal 

Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA), Staffing for 

Adequate Fire & Emergency Response 

Grants (SAFER) provides 

funding for fire departments to 

help increase and maintain the 

number of firefighters able to 

respond to emergencies in the 

community. 

“Having the ability to hire 

six new firefighters will help immensely 

in bringing our fire department 

up to the proper and 

adequate staffing levels that we 

need to best serve our community,” 

Chief Marino said. “We 

are extremely fortunate and 

thankful to have been selected 

for this grant.” 

The grant covers a period 

of three years in which Wrentham 

Fire will use the funds to 

recruit and retain an additional 

six full-time career firefighters. 

The awarded $1,004,828 will 

cover approximately 75 percent 

of the salaries and benefits in the 

first two years and 35 percent of 

the same costs in year three. Any 

contractual increases in years two 

and three are the responsibility 

of the town. At the closing of 

the grant the funding for the new 

positions will be the responsibility 

of the town. 

“I would like to acknowledge 

Chief Marino and Captain 

Ken Jefferson who sought much 

needed funding for a staff shortage,” 

Town Administrator Sweet 

said. “Chief Marino has shown a 

continued dedication to address 

the increasing service demands 

of our community for the shortterm 

and long-term.”

Countdown Begins for Shoebox Project 

3 rd Annual Drive Runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 2 


November 1 kicks off the third 

annual Norfolk Shoebox Project, 

an initiative that collects and distributes 

shoeboxes filled with gifts 

for women who are homeless or 

at risk of homelessness. 

The Norfolk chapter is part of 

an international program called 

the Shoebox Project for Women. 

Started in Canada in 2011, the 

501©3 non-profit organization’s 

message for women in crisis is 

“You Are Not Alone.” 

Norfolk resident Maura Feeley 

Birenbaum started the local 

chapter as a way to give back during 

the holiday season. 

“We are so privileged to live 

here,” she said. “My goal was 

to teach my kids to always try to 

help someone less fortunate no 

matter how busy you are.” 

Participants fill a festivelywrapped 

shoebox with about 

$50 worth of unwrapped, small 

luxury items intended to make 

women feel special. These gifts 

may include makeup, skin care 

products, soaps, chocolate, warm 

clothing items like scarves or 

gloves, and gift cards to coffee 

shops or movies—items unlike 

the usual donations received by 

shelters. Volunteers can also include 

notes or letters. 

Birenbaum says the shoebox 

and its cover must be wrapped 

separately so the boxes can be 

checked for prohibited items like 

razors, candles, or used goods. 

Pre-decorated boxes, available at 

retailers around the holidays, are 

also an option. 

Birenbaum hopes to collect 

200 shoeboxes this year, and 

deliver them to Rosie’s Place, a 

women’s shelter in Boston. The 

gifts will be distributed during the 

organization’s annual Christmas 

party. 

Alyssa Schoppee, Development 

Associate at Rosie’s Place, 

noted the importance of drives 

like the Shoebox Project to help 

make the holidays a bit easier for 

women in distress. 

“Every holiday season brings 

more women in need, both at 

Rosie’s Place and in our community,” 

said Schoppee. “We 

work to brighten the season by 

providing gifts for more than 

eight-hundred guests who ‘shop’ 

in our Holiday Store. We rely 

on the generosity of individuals, 

companies and organizations like 

the Shoebox Project to create this 

special opportunity for women 

who may feel particularly alone 

during the holiday season.” 

Since 2011, the Shoebox 

Project has distributed more 

than 180,000 shoeboxes, valued 

at more than 9 million dollars. 

There are about 80 volunteerrun 

chapters across North America. 

Birenbaum says organizing 

and participating in the drive has 

been personally rewarding. 

“Bringing the boxes into 

Rosie’s Place is always such an 

uplifting day,” she said. “I’m 

always overwhelmed by all the 

people who participate from Norfolk, 

Wrentham, and Plainville, 

and from my gym and work, too. 

I don’t have a lot of time to volunteer 

but this is something I can 

do in my limited free time and I 

know it makes a difference.” 

To participate in the Shoebox 

Project, drop off completed 

boxes to Norfolk Town Hall, 

Town Clerk’s Office, 1 Liberty 

Lane, Norfolk; 270 Main Street, 

Norfolk (Maura Birenbaum); or 

35 Metacomet Street, Wrentham 

(Sue Danson).

8 Estate Planning Mistakes to Avoid 

Estate planning can be complicated, 

and it’s not uncommon 

for people to make mistakes with 

their plans. But financial advisors 

make errors, too, so here are the 

most common mistakes I have 

encountered from other financial 

and estate planners. 

1. Improper beneficiary 

designations 

I frequently see advisors improperly 

completing beneficiary 

designations. Examples: not 

changing the beneficiary due to 

divorce or a death, or listing a 

special needs child or grandchild 

directly as a beneficiary, rather 

than a trust FBO (for benefit of), 

thereby affecting their eligibility 

for Social Security disability benefits. 

2. Not changing asset 

titles to trusts 

Incorporating revocable living 

trusts into a client’s estate plan 

but forgetting to update all the 

account titling to the name of the 

trust. Not changing titles creates 

problems that include having to 

pay additional probate costs, losing 

the private nature of settling 

the estate, etc. 

3. Incorrectly assuming 

clients’ goals 

Many advisors assume a client’s 

main goal is to save estate 

taxes, for example. However, 

when really connecting with a 

client, we might find that taxes 

are only a small aspect of their 

objectives. Sometimes, in listening 

to the client, we realize that 

their fears are more about their 

heirs’ ability to manage the inheritance 

as well as decisions 

such as trustees, etc. 

4. Naming minor children 

as account beneficiaries 

Letting clients name minor 

children outright as primary or 

contingent beneficiaries of life 

insurance or retirement plans. 

When minor children inherit, a 

court must appoint a guardian 

who must be bonded and must 

file a laborious annual accounting 

with the local court. 

5. Wrong choice of 

executors and trustees 

Naming a financial institution 

as successor executor/trustee 

after surviving spouse or instead 

of surviving spouse. In some 

cases, this is to the detriment of 

the spouse and other beneficiaries 

because large institutions 

usually follow their fiduciary 

responsibilities with a less personable 

approach than another 

trustee could provide. 

6. Failure to address 

medical directives 

Many attorneys will draft a 

health-care power of attorney 

(POA) and living will. If the two 

documents co-exist, they may 

conflict since the POA allows another 

to make decisions while the 

living will already states what is 

to be done. Absent statutory (or 

document) direction, health-care 

providers may experience a conflict 

in what to do. 

7. Ignoring state estate 

and inheritance taxes 

Many states follow the federal 

$5 million-plus exemption 

for taxable estates, but the states 

do not always exempt this larger 

amount. For example, in Massachusetts, 

estates over $1,000,000 

that are not left to the surviving 

spouse are subject to a Massachusetts 

estate tax. 

8. Failure to address 

asset protection 

Most couples fear losing their 

assets to nursing homes. For couples 

nearing retirement, strategies 

that protect assets should 

be explored. Strategies include 

lifetime credit shelter trusts, life 

estate deeds, gifting and other 

techniques that make assets available 

for use but beyond the reach 

of creditors. We have a great

World-Class Cataract Surgery Closer to Home 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Cataract surgery is by far 

the most common surgery performed 

in the United States. 

With advanced technology, and 

if you choose an experienced 

and highly skilled surgeon, modern 

cataract surgery should be 

a rather quick outpatient and a 

minimal risk procedure. If you 

are considering cataract surgery, 

your expectations should not only 

be to improve your vision, reduce 

glare at night, see more vivid colors 

and improve your day to day 

activities, but you should also be 

given an opportunity to reduce 

your dependence on glasses or 

contacts and in many cases eliminate 

this need. Your expectations 

should also be to have your surgery 

by a world-class surgeon 

close to where you live and not 

be told to travel hours for testing 

and surgery. Many choices exist 

on where to have the surgery and 

by whom. Here are the specific 

questions to ask when it’s time to 

have the surgery: 

Why are you referring me to 

this surgeon? Your eye care provider 

may ask you to travel miles 

and hours away from home to 

have your surgery with a particular 

surgeon of their choice. When 

you have experienced surgeons 

within minutes from where you 

live and when those top-notch 

ethical surgeons with excellent 

nationwide reputation will perform 

your surgery in a state-ofthe-art 

surgery center closer to 

home ask your provider why they 

want you to travel hours and 

miles. Beware referral bias. In our 

center, 100% of the surgeries are 

performed in a state-of-the-art 

facility in Milford. Very close to 

home. 

What type of anesthesia am 

I going to get? With modern 

cataract surgery, most surgeries 

should be completed under topical 

anesthesia. This means that 

the surgery eye becomes numb 

with drops. No need for injections 

or shots around or behind your 

eye. No shots will reduce the risk 

of bleeding and serious complications 

from the shots. Ask about 

the techniques of the surgeon you 

are being ask to travel to see. In 

our center, 100% of the surgeries 

are performed under topical 

simple anesthesia. 

What are the risks? One of 

the most dreaded risks of cataract 

surgery is accidental damage 

to the posterior capsule, which is 

the back wall of the bag holding 

your lens. The best practices have 

a rupture rate of 2 to 4 per thousand 

cases. The source of this 

information should be credible, 

and ideally made available by an 

independent review committee 

in a surgery center. Ask about the 

complication rate of the surgeon 

you are being asked to travel to. 

In our center this rate is close to 

zero percent. 

What is the rate of infections 

in your center? Another potentially 

devastating risk of cataract 

surgery is an infection inside the 

eye called “endophthalmitis”. Ask 

the complication rate of the surgeon 

you are being asked to travel 

to. In our center this rate is close 

to zero percent. 

Where will the surgery be 

performed? Different centers 

have different equipment and resources. 

For instance, Massachusetts 

has only few centers offering 

bladeless cataract surgery. This 

should be an option if you want 

to reduce dependence on glasses 

and treat low grades of astigmatism 

at the same time as your 

cataract surgery. This technology 

can also soften the cataract if 

it is dense and thick, allowing a 

safer and better outcome as it is 

the case in a specific eye disease 

called Fuch’s dystrophy. Ask your 

referring provider if this technology 

is available where they want 

you to go. Our center was among 

the first in the state and New 

England to offer this technology. 

What type of implant am I 

going to get? Different lens implants 

can be used during cataract 

surgery with different materials, 

quality and ability to reduce 

your need for glasses. Ask your 

referring provider about his/her 

surgeon choice of implants. Our 

center was the first in the greater 

Boston area to offer the new Panoptix 

trifocal implant. With this 

implant, you can see clearly at distance, 

close and intermediate, like 

phones and computer screens. 

Will my need to wear glasses 

be reduced? Cataract surgery is a 

wonderful opportunity to limit or 

eliminate your need for glasses. As 

the surgeon removes the cataract, 

there is an opportunity to replace 

the cloudy lens with a special high 

tech implant able to achieve this 

goal. Ask your referring provider 

about his/her surgeon of choice 

ability to achieve those goals. Our 

center has plenty of happy and 

glasses-free patients. 

Will I have stitches? It is ideal 

to eliminate the need for stitches. 

Placing a stitch can be complicated 

by stitch-induced astigmatism, 

a foreign body sensation 

and a broken and irritating stitch. 

Ask your referring provider if 

his/her surgeon of choice is still 

using stitches. 100% of our cataract 

procedures are stitch-free. 

What will be my vision on day 

1 after the surgery? One of the 

measurements defining quality of 

outcomes after cataract surgery 

is the quality of vision on day 1

John of All Trades 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Staff Sports Writer 

Plainville’s John Berdos entered 

King Philip High School 

in the fall of 2011, where he ran 

cross country and track all four 

years for the Warriors. Following 

his graduation from KP he 

continued his education at the 

University of Massachusetts at 

Lowell, where he participated 

in the 400-meter hurdles for the 

track team during his first three 

years. Now he’s an assistant cross 

country and track coach at King 

Philip. 

Berdos has always considered 

himself best suited for the decathlon 

and heptathlon. While at 

UMass-Lowell, he came across 

the icosathlon (also called the 

double decathlon), a two-day, 20- 

event competition held annually 

in Elaintarha Helsinki, Finland. 

Berdos immediately realized 

that this was something that he 

wanted to do. 

“I was a decent runner in high 

school and college, so when I first 

heard about the competition during 

my freshman year at UMass I 

put it on my bucket list of things 

to do,” he said. “After I was released 

following my junior year 

at college I decided that it would 

be a good time to sign up for the 

event the following August.” 

Berdos began working toward 

taking part in the multi-event 

competition despite the threeyear 

layoff since he last participated 

in a field event at King 

Philip. To get back into a routine 

that would involve all 20 events, 

during his senior year of college 

he declared himself unattached 

and took part in competitions 

throughout the area. He even 

entered a heptathlon at Wheaton 

College where he did quite 

well. All of these competitions 

.D. MURPHY 

JCONSTRUCTION 

Since 1976 

allowed him to get his feet back 

underneath him while preparing 

for the icosathlon in Finland the 

following year. 

The icosathlon consists of 

12 running events and another 

8 field events. Berdos considers 

himself not only a good runner 

Building • Remodeling • Additions 

Kitchens • Baths • Replacement Windows • Decks • Garages 

Licensed • Insured • Registered 508-376-5003 

but also better than average in 

the field events. One field event 

he had never attempted was the 

hammer throw, so he had to 

learn the event before traveling 

abroad. 

In the icosathlon Berdos finished 

in second place with 9833 

points, behind Germany’s Florian 

Herr who was able to rack 

up 10,101 points to grab first 

place. Although a solid performance, 

the Wrentham native was 

hoping to do a little better. 

“The competition was good 

and I met a lot of people over 

there. Finishing second was good, 

but looking back on it I could 

have done better here and there,” 

Berdos said. “Overall I was very 

happy with my performance. 

I was hoping to score north of 

10,000 points, but finished just 

short of that due to little things.” 

The 28 th annual multi-event 

competition took place this past 

August 24-25. Berdos flew out 

the Wednesday night prior to the 

weekend event and arrived in 

Finland around 2 on Thursday 

afternoon. He used the next day 

and a half to acclimate himself 

to his new surroundings before 

taking part in the all-day events 

on Saturday and Sunday. 

“The seven hour time 

changed really messed with 

me,” he said. “You’d have an 

early breakfast and then halfway 

through the competition (around 

2 or 3) you’d have lunch and then 

dinner about 9 or 10.” 

Icosathlon participants arrived 

at the facility in the early 

morning hours and didn’t leave 

until almost midnight, making 

for a very long day of athletic 

competition. Although a welltrained 

athlete, Berdos found 

himself in some serious pain. 

“After day one I was beat up 

and my body was feeling it, but I 

fought through it,” he said. “After 

my final event (10,000-meter) at 

10:30 p.m. on Sunday evening 

I was OK for a few minutes but 

then my legs went limp.” 

Berdos finished in the top 

four of every event except for a 

seventh place finish in the hammer 

throw. He took first place 

in the high jump and second in 

the pole vault, long jump, triple 

jump, 100-meter, 1,500-meter, 

3,000-meter, 5,000-meter and 

the 3,000-meter steeple chase. 

He grabbed third place finishes 

in the 400-meter, 800-meter, 

10,000-meter, 110-meter hurdles, 

200-meter hurdles, shot put, discus 

throw and javelin while capturing 

fourth in the 400-meter 

hurdles and the 200-meter. 

“I was satisfied, I accomplished 

what I had set out to do,” 

Berdos said. “The 14 months of 

training were well worth it. By 

competing in this I was able to 

close the book officially on the 

sport.” 

With the icosathlon completed, 

Berdos will now concentrate 

on being a coach for the 

King Philip cross country and 

track teams.

Fallon-Comeau Selected to Coach KP Softball Team 

By Ken Hamwey 

Staff Sports Writer 

A familiar face with a familiar 

name is the new softball coach at 

King Philip Regional. 

Kate Fallon-Comeau, who 

directed Franklin High’s softball 

team for the last nine years, has 

been chosen to replace Norm 

Beauchemin, who led the Warriors 

to seven tournament berths 

and a State championship in 

2016. 

During her tenure at Franklin, 

Fallon-Comeau guided the 

Panthers to seven playoff berths, 

and although the deepest advance 

Franklin managed was 

an appearance in the Division 1 

South Sectional semifinal, Fallon- 

Comeau’s squads could never be 

taken lightly. Franklin eliminated 

the tourney’s No. 2 seed twice in 

consecutive years. 

“My top thrill was facing 

Sandwich one year and Silver 

Lake the next,’’ she recalled. 

“They both were seeded second 

but we knocked them out of the 

playoffs. The credit, however, 

goes to Franklin’s players. They 

worked hard, came to play and 

always strived to improve.’’ 

Fallon-Comeau is acutely 

aware that at KP she’ll be coaching 

one of the premier programs 

in the state. The Warriors have 

won three State championships 

in a seven-year span (2010-2016). 

“There’s always pressure when 

you coach and I know there are 

high expectations at KP,’’ she 

said. “That was also true in

and it’ll be hard work that will get 

results. KP’s program is one of 

the best in the state. A lot of talent 

was developed over the years 

and I’m honored and humbled to 

have been selected.’’ 

Fallon-Comeau, who also 

coached Southeastern Regional’s 

softball varsity for four years, emphasized 

that leaving Franklin 

wasn’t easy and she lauded everyone 

that played a role for the 

Panthers. 

“After nine wonderful seasons 

at Franklin, I gave it a lot 

of thought before taking the KP 

job,’’ Fallon-Comeau said in a 

statement to her team. “I was 

fortunate to work with incredible 

players, parents and coaches. I 

loved every minute of it. Saying 

goodbye to my returning players 

is very difficult but I know they’ll 

move on and do well. Franklin 

High will always hold a special 

place in my heart.’’ 

Fallon-Comeau’s goals at KP 

reflect a desire to maintain the 

top-caliber play Warrior fans are 

accustomed to. “We want to continue 

the great tradition of the 

past,’’ she noted. “Going deep in 

the tourney is another goal and at 

some point we want to win a Sectional 

and State championship.’’ 

There shouldn’t be many 

roadblocks or detours to achieving 

those objectives, primarily 

because of the attributes that 

Fallon-Comeau prefers when assembling 

a roster. 

“Some of the characteristics 

I look for are a high softball IQ, 

athleticism, technique, and leadership,’’ 

said Fallon-Comeau. 

“Other keys are having players 

who are fundamentally sound, 

accountable, coachable and responsible.’’ 

Softball candidates will discover 

early on that their new 

coach will challenge them “to be 

the best athletes they can be and 

also to be the best person they can 

be.’’ And, they’ll benefit from Fallon-Comeau’s 

patience and her 

teacher-first approach as a softball 

instructor. 

On the field, Fallon-Comeau 

wants balance. Defense, hitting 

and pitching all carry a high priority. 

“Balance is important,’’ she 

said, “and so, too, is teamwork. 

The players will know their roles 

and they’ll know that their contributions 

are important.’’ 

Hired in late August, Fallon- 

Comeau didn’t get an opportunity 

to meet potential players but 

she did connect with her three 

captains — Liliana Rolfe, Destiny 

Goyco and Grace Kelly. The 

coach and her leadership team 

seemed to strike a positive chord. 

“They’re excited to go to work,’’ 

Fallon-Comeau said. “I was impressed 

with them and got good 

vibes. Their leadership should be 

a big plus.’’ 

When Fallon-Comeau played 

softball, her ability and leadership 

took her a long way. She was 

a Hockomock League all-star 

pitcher at Mansfield High, and at 

Curry College she was dominant 

as a pitcher and catcher. She was 

the Commonwealth Coast Conference’s 

Rookie of the Year and 

later became a two-time league 

all-star. She helped Curry set a 

school record that still stands — 

44 victories in a season. 

KPHS Recognized as Special Olympics 

Massachusetts Unified Champion School 

Superintendent Paul Zinni is 

pleased to announce that King 

Philip Regional High School 

has been recognized by Special 

Olympics Massachusetts as an 

official Special Olympics Massachusetts 

Unified Champion 

School. 

Special Olympics Massachusetts 

honored King Philip’s commitment 

to inclusion by awarding 

the school with a certificate for 

its continuous efforts to provide 

opportunities and activities for 

all. The school was honored for 

embodying what it means to 

be a Unified Champion School 

through unified sports, inclusive 

youth leadership programs and 

whole-school engagement. 

“We strive to provide effective 

activities that equip our students 

with the tools and training 

needed to create a community 

that welcomes everyone,” King 

Philip High School Principal Lisa 

Mobley said. 

King Philip has joined the 

ranks of 26 other Unified Champion 

Schools in Massachusetts. 

The schools have been invited to 

continue their community-wide 

efforts of inclusion and apply for 

national recognition as a Unified 

Champion School in the spring. 

An education major, she 

coached the Cardinal Spellman 

jayvee volleyball team for four 

years and also directed Spellman’s 

jayvee softball team for a season. 

Both those coaching tenures occurred 

while she was a Curry College 

undergraduate. 

After graduation, Fallon- 

Comeau was hired as a physical 

education instructor at Southeastern 

Regional in Easton where she 

coached the softball team. After 

seven years on the Southeastern 

faculty, she was hired in 2014 to 

teach phys-ed in the Brockton 

school system. 

Calling Dave Lewery, the 

Taunton High softball coach for 

the last 20 years, “a quality mentor’’ 

for his sound advice and 

for his ability to get outstanding 

results, Fallon-Comeau should 

experience a smooth transition 

since she’ll still be coaching in the 

Hockomock League. “I hope it’s 

smooth,’’ she said. “I know the 

league, the teams and the coaches. 

It’s a very competitive conference 

where softball is taken seriously.’’ 

When the winter rolls around 

and softball sign-ups are held as 

that season gives way to spring, 

Fallon-Comeau likely will have 

met most of her prospective 

candidates. The players and the 

coach no doubt will be eager to 

get started. The intensity level will 

be high and so will expectations 

— because at KP softball is a way 

of life. 

Kate Fallon-Comeau wouldn’t 

want it any other way. 

“King Philip aims to be a 

leader in acceptance and embracing 

our differences,” Superintendent 

Zinni said. “Our goal 

is to foster a climate of understanding 

in our schools where 

students with disabilities feel welcomed 

and included.”

Representative Dooley Receives the John Collins 

Warren Award 

On October 8, State Representative 

Shawn Dooley (R- 

Norfolk) accepted the John 

Collins Warren Award from the 

Massachusetts Chapter of the 

American College of Surgeons 

(MCACS) during the College’s 

annual advocacy day at the State 

House in Boston. 

The award, given each year, 

recognizes Representative Dooley’s 

leadership to strengthen 

Massachusetts’s trauma system 

of care and his work to protect 

patient access to safe, high-quality 

surgical care. 

Representative Dooley, also 

an on-call firefighter and EMT 

in Plainville, has been the driving 

force behind Massachusetts’s 

Stop the Bleed movement, which 

aims to eliminate preventable 

deaths by equipping bystanders 

with the necessary tools to control 

serious bleeds before first responders 

arrive. Representative 

Dooley’s efforts, highlighted by 

his legislation--H.1870 An Act 

relative to requiring trauma kits 

in public buildings--seek to address 

this issue by requiring all 

public buildings in Massachusetts 

to house basic bleeding control 

kits, containing a tourniquet and 

other necessary tools, and a person 

trained to use the kits much 

in the same fashion as the state’s 

laws concerning AEDs. 

Rep. Dooley has also brought 

the Stop the Bleed movement 

into his district, where he has 

personally donated bleeding control 

kits and the necessary training 

to his schools. 

“I am beyond humbled to receive 

this award,” said Dooley. 

“I know that there are so many 

other important people who I 

have worked with along the way 

that are more deserving, but it

State Rep. Dooley Secures 

Funding For King Philip Regional 

Animal Shelter 

State Representative Shawn 

Dooley (R-Norfolk) announced 

that he has secured $50,000 in 

funding for the establishment of 

a King Philip Regional Animal 

Shelter serving the towns of Norfolk, 

Wrentham, and Plainville, as 

a part of the State’s Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2020 Budget. The budget 

was approved by the Legislature 

on July 22 and was later signed 

into law by Governor Baker on 

July 31. 

“An animal shelter serving the 

KP area has been a glaring need 

for many years now” said Dooley. 

“I’ve worked over the past few 

years to secure this funding, and 

I am happy we were finally able 

to get it into the budget. It is my 

hope that by having a regional 

shelter, our entire community will 

be able to have a facility that will 

help all of our animals by sharing 

and maximizing our resources.” 

“I am very pleased to see this 

start to come into fruition” said 

Christopher Wider, who is both a 

Norfolk Select Board member and 

the Animal Control Officer for 

the Towns of Wrentham and Plainville. 

“A great deal of work was

to see an animal shelter happen, 

and both Angelcat Haven and KP 

Animal Rescue this past couple 

of years have picked up the torch 

with fostering and care for at times 

over 100 felines! Rep. Dooley and 

Richard Ross saw these efforts and 

took it to the next level! Thank 

you Rep. Dooley.”


Lending Activity Soars in 3 rd Quarter 2019 

Register of Deeds William P. 

O’Donnell reported on October 

18 that mortgage lending activity 

continues at a brisk pace when it 

comes to the Norfolk County real 

estate market. 

The Register noted, “During 

the 3 rd quarter 2019 (July-September), 

a total of 8,796 mortgages 

were recorded, resulting 

in a 33% increase year over year. 

The strong performance in lending 

activity can be directly attributed 

to low interest rates and the 

continuing strong economy in 

eastern Massachusetts. Clearly, 

consumers are more comfortable 

about borrowing for big ticket 

items including housing, home 

improvements and educational 

expenses.” 

Regarding real estate sales, 

the total number of transactions 

in Norfolk County, for both residential 

and commercial property, 

was 5,098, a 1% decrease from 

the previous year’s quarter. 

“The flat performance in real 

estate sales,” noted the Register, 

“can be directly attributed to a 

continued and persistent lack 

of available real estate inventory. 

Homeowners remain skittish 

about putting their home on 

the market due to a concern that 

while they will reap a nice profit 

on their existing property, they 

may not be able to afford a new 

home on the back end.” 

The impact of limited real 

estate inventory was also seen 

in the continued rise in housing 

prices. The average real estate 

cost, again for both residential 

and commercial, was $826,408, 

a 13% increase from the 3 rd quarter 

2018. Total dollar real estate 

sales for the county was $2.8 

billion, a 9% increase for the 

quarter in comparison to the 3 rd 

quarter of last year. 

On the consumer front, there 

was a 2% increase in the number 

of Homesteads recorded during 

the 3 rd quarter. A total of 3,648 

Homesteads were recorded compared 

to 3,572 year over year. 

O’Donnell stated, “A Homestead 

provides limited protection 

against the forced sale of a 

homeowner’s primary residence 

to satisfy unsecured debt up to 

$500,000. I urge Norfolk County 

residents to consider this important 

consumer protection tool.” 

Foreclosure activity also 

showed continued improvement 

during the 3 rd quarter. The total 

number of foreclosure deeds recorded 

was 38, a 40% drop-off 

year over year. The percentage 

decrease was more modest when 

it came to Notice to Foreclose 

Mortgage filings, the first step in 

the foreclosure process. There 

were 116 Notice to Foreclose 

Mortgages recorded during the 

quarter, a 5.6% decrease compared 

to the 3 rd quarter of 2018. 

O’Donnell noted, “My office 

continues to closely monitor 

the number of foreclosure 

filings in Norfolk County. The 

Registry of Deeds has partnered 

with Quincy Community Action 

Programs, 617-479-8181 x376, 

and NeighborWorks Housing 

Solutions, 508-587-0950 to help 

homeowners who have received 

a Notice to Foreclose Mortgage 

document. A third option is to 

contact the Massachusetts Attorney 

General’s Consumer Advocacy 

and Response Division 

(CARD) at 617-727-8400.” 

Register O’Donnell concluded, 

“Mortgage activity 

should continue unabated during 

the 4 th quarter assuming interest 

rates remain at low levels. 

Real estate sales volume will not 

rise until we see improvement in 

the number of available homes 

and condominiums for sale. The 

current real estate market is good 

news for sellers, but remains a 

challenge for first time homebuyers 

and those trying to buy a 

home in their price range.”
