Book BuddiesBrings Outthe Best in Kids,Seniors

By anne Parker

One sunny Saturday morning in

June, after a 10-year wait, the

members at United Methodist

Church finally got their wish: a

new cross atop the peak of its

roof.

The 125-year-old building was

struck by lightning about a

decade ago and its cross was de-

stroyed. The only thing remain-

ing on the roof was a steel rod.

Trustees and friends of the

church volunteered to take the

steps toward a building new

cross. It was a team effort led by

Trustees Chairman Harry

Cochran. "I grabbed this by the

horns and was determined to get

it done," said Cochran. His job as

a trustee is to get projects done

around the church and this was

one he was eager to complete.

Someone donated the time to

make a template for the new

cross. The wood and labor to

build it were donated.

The final product is a simple, el-

egant cross constructed from

cedar and painted gold. It stands

five feet tall and three feet wide.

Jamison Tree removal Com-

pany from Bellingham erected

the cross.

It took a long time and planning

and labor to get to there, but the

final installation took less than

one hour.

Church pastor rev. Dr. Dianne

Carpenter is very happy to finally

see the cross. "It's exciting to see

it put back the way it ought to

be," she said. "also I'm proud of

all the work that the trustees do.

The people of the church do a

tremendous job. Whatever needs

to be done, they're ready to do it."

The Franklin United Methodist

Church and building have been

around since 1872. The present

building was dedicated in June of

1873 and by the end of the year

were sixty-six members.

By J.D. O’Gara

Fifth grade teacher anna Grinley

was looking for a way to grow her

students’ writing skills. What she

ended up doing was building inter-

generational friendships.

In an effort to challenge some

students to write more elaborately

and others to satisfy their thirst for

reading, Grinley started hooking

children up with “book buddies,”

anonymous senior citizens from

Franklin who pledged for one year

to simultaneously read novels with

the children and communicate

about the books through journals.

“Last year we had four seniors,”

says Grinley. “This year we had

eight.”

Children were allowed to pickwhatever books they want, pro-vided the books were at their read-ing level. Grinley would give onecopy of the book to the student andthe other to the student’s bookbuddy. She gave the students oldtest booklets in which to write theirthoughts. The retired seniorswould then stop in and pick themup, returning the booklets withtheir own comments.

She chose a lot of NewburyAward winners,” says NancyRappa, a retired Franklin school-teacher. “I enjoyed totally the sto-ries, and it was nice to hear hertake on the some stories.”

Mary Higginbottom, whose hus-band, Ron, became a book buddythis year after seeing his wife enjoythe first year, says her first youngstudent brought her to read a genreshe’d never considered, sciencefiction, and one that she enjoyed.

Grinley found the willing seniorsby contacting Karen Alves, Direc-tor of the Senior Center, who put anotice in the center’s monthlynewsletter.

Since then, Grinley says, “howit’s grown is the seniors that did doit told others. It pretty much hasbeen word-of-mouth.” Grinley ex-plains that she can only accommo-date as many students as she hassenior volunteers, but as the num-

ber doubled this year, she’s opti-mistic.

Grinley explains that she choosesstudents for the program depend-ing on their need and that herchoice doesn’t reflect the best orworst readers.

“I try to meet who could use it,who could deepen the meaning,”says Grinley, “or I might wantthem to improve their ability towrite deeper. I had a couple kidsthis year who were just voraciousreaders, and I wanted them to haveanother outlet for talking about it.”“It’s been hugely successful for my

children, because it’s forcing themto think deeply about the book,”says Grinley. “The more they writeas they read, the better they read.”The children, she adds, also lovedthe extra attention, and the seniorsenjoyed the experience as well.

“I did it last year, and this yearand then, when he did sneak peeksat my journal last year, I coercedmy husband to do this year withus,” says Higginbottom. “He lovedit. He really did. And he read morethan I think he’s probably everread in his life,” she laughs. Hig-ginbottom adds that she found thequality of the children’s literature

“as good if not better in some in-stances as what we read as adults,and Mrs. Grinley, she’s just won-derful to work with.” Higginbot-tom also notes that many of thechildren had not had actual pen-and-paper letter-writing experi-ences – a sign of the times.

“I’m a retired schoolteacher, sothat project really interested me,because I love to communicatewith kids,” says Rappa, who’sbeen involved as a book buddy fortwo years and says if she missesanything about her job, “I miss thekids.”

Rappa had a student, “Julia,”who she found to be “so insight-ful.” She adds, “It was great towrite to a child I didn’t even know.We communicated all year backand forth…reading books, com-menting on stories, commentingon characters. I think the suspensejust grew. I couldn’t wait to meether. I really couldn’t.”

The book buddies finally got tomeet each other at the end of theyear, at a luncheon. A few likedtheir experience so much; they’vevowed to read the same novels inthe summer.

The Franklin United Methodist

Church has been a significant in-fluence in the life of the commu-nity for almost 150 years andanticipates many more years at itslocation at 82 West Central Street.

It has served and reached out tolocal community with many serv-ices of the years. Around 1974 theMethodist Church joined forceswith the Federated Church, St.John's Episcopal Church and St.Mary's Catholic Church and estab-lished an ecumenical outreachgroup called FISH which contin-ues to operate today.

Ministers have come and goneduring the past 150 years, but thevision has always been essentiallythe same for the church. As thechurch's history states: "No churchjust springs into being. Our be-coming a meaningful church waspreceded by years of untiring ef-fort and dedicated involvement ofa few devout men and womenwith a vision and an earnest desireto establish a Methodist Church inFranklin."

ByAnne PArker

If you have ever asked your childwhat's your favorite part of school,you may get the answer "recess!"recess often is the best part formany kids. It gives them the chanceto get exercise and fresh air, runaround, play at the playground, andsocialize with their friends.

At kennedy elementary School,this is also true. The school is plan-ning to rebuild its playground. Theexisting playground structure isolder and has endured the harsh ex-tremes of the new england climate.It is among Franklin's last woodenplay structures and is causing splin-ters and injuries. So the plan is tobuild a new one. A group of parentsat kennedy elementary Schoolformed a committee to raise funds todesign and build a new playground.They have been raising funds for thepast year. They have a goal of$85,000.

"We are currently at approximately$26,863 raised through PCC funds,fundraisers, direct and corporate do-nations, grants and sponsorships,"reports nikki Wisniewski, chair ofthe playground committee.

The playground committee hasbeen seeking grants and donations

from local businesses, and many in-dividual families have made dona-tions. They hoped to break groundfor the new playground Spring of2012. But the price and design willnow be different due to a change inthe plan.

The committee recently altered itsplayground design to build one thatwill be "inclusive." This means mak-ing the playground structure acces-sible to children with disabilities aswell as sensory or motor challenges."We want a design where you canget as much access as you can," saidTisha Arffa, who is also on the com-mittee and the mother of Paris, akennedy student with a disability."The current design has pieceswhere kids can play, but they can'tget to it."

"We are currently meeting withplayground consultants to developan inclusive design," said Wis-niewski. "We have a 'wish list' ofcomponents that meet a variety ofphysical, social, cognitive, and de-velopmental needs as well as beingfun. We need to work with the play-ground consultants to find the bestlayout, access, and combination ofthese components so that we canmeet our goals for inclusion and

budget."

While many people look at a play-ground structure as a big fun playspace, it is actually an important as-pect to a child's development. Work-ing with a consultant, the committeelearned that there is a 'prescription'for a good playground which pro-vides children with various motorand sensory challenges and social-ization opportunities.

During a school day, the play-ground sees around 500 childrenages 5 to 12 years. A typical recesscan have 80 to 120 children at atime. In addition, children fromneighborhoods close by enjoy theplayground.

Although the change will increasetheir financial goal, it has been agreat learning process. "It is an op-portunity for all kids," said Arffa.There are so many children with avariety of issues, she explains."Some have physical disabilities,others have sensory issues and oth-ers may have gross motor issues."By building an inclusive play-ground, all children will be wellserved now and for many years intothe future.

They developed a preliminary de-sign with a consultant. "We are in the

process of fundraising and are re-as-sessing the design with the intent ofan inclusive playground that notonly challenges and supports the de-velopment of all kennedy students,but promotes inclusive play amongthe children," Wisniewski said.

Arffa stresses that an inclusive de-sign goes beyond handicap accessi-bility. 'Inclusion' means allowingchildren of all abilities to be in-cluded. "We are striving for inclu-sion so that children can access theplay structure and play together. Wewould like all the children to be ablehave access to play. And have some-thing for everyone."

By law, all the designs (past andfuture) must be ADA compliant, saidWisniewski. "However, the ADAguidelines are a minimum require-ment for each public playground toadhere to. Unfortunately, ADA com-pliance doesn’t always mean accessor social inclusion for children withdisabilities. Here at kennedySchool, we are trying to provide uni-versal access and inclusion for all ofour children. As such, we will needto do more than the ADA requires."

It's a lengthy process and they an-ticipate to have an updated inclusivedesign in September, she added.

"We have done a great job infundraising, raising kennedy parentcommunity awareness, working ongrant opportunities and reaching outto local businesses. We have a greatteam of people volunteering signifi-cant amounts of their time towardthis project. Their contributions, en-thusiasm and energy are incredible,"said Wisniewski.

The playground project startedwith the Parent CommunicationCouncil (PCC) at kennedy. Parentssaw a need and raised the issue, thePCC voted to seed a playgroundfund with $5,000. The committeewas established to pursue the proj-ect. The PCC continues to donatewhen possible, but the majority ofthe funds raised by the PCC are ear-marked for enrichment programs forthe students.

The playground committee alsoholds playground specific fundrais-ers and is still seeking grants andcorporate donations and sponsor-ships. In September, the committeewill enter the Pepsi refresh Chal-lenge grant project for a chance towin $25,000 toward the fund. Viewthe website www.kennedyPlay-

“as long as there are veterans,the benevolent and protectiveorder of Elks will never forgetthem.”

That phrase is etched on a stoneoutside the lodge of the FranklinElks (FBOE 2136) at 1077 PondStreet, and it’s clear from the ac-tions of these volunteers, that thosewords live on.

Sure, the Elks do a lot of wonder-ful things for a number of charities.according to Mark Ellis, a trusteewho has lived in Franklin for about25 years and has been with theElks for 22 years, the lodge gaveout 15 scholarships of approxi-mately $750 each last year, and theMassachusetts State Elks gave out10 scholarships to Franklin resi-dents. Back in april, the lodge alsodid a bowling fundraiser for theamerican Brain Tumor associa-tion at Walnut Hill Bowl inWoonsocket, rI. On June 26, theyheld a “Touch a Truck,” with freehamburgers and hotdogs, askingfor just donations of food for thelocal food pantry.

The Franklin Elks, however, oneof 71 Elks Lodges in Massachu-

setts, pay special attention to ourveterans.

Two years ago, they dedicatedthe town’s Iraq/afghanistan mon-ument. This past winter, the veter-ans of Franklin stayed a little bit

warmer thanks to the Elks.

“One of our biggest programs westarted this year,” says Ellis, “anyveteran that needed fuel assistancethis winter, we donated 100 gal-lons of home heating oil to them

for free.” The Elks were able to dothis with the assistance of Jillian’sOil, of Medway, which donatedthe oil at cost.

In the spring, says Ellis, the Elkshosted a big luncheon for the

Brockton Va hospital at the lodge.

“We serve them a big lunch andthen we played bingo with (theveterans) with cash winnings,”says Ellis.

Each year, the Elks also host aMemorial Day breakfast for veter-ans, and they also put together twohuge mailings of care packages foractive military each year.

“We probably send about 100(care packages) a year,” says Ellis.“a lot of it is paid for by the lodge,but last year, the Franklin HighSchool Community Service Clubhelped out, too. They did a collec-tion for us.”

The Elks will be following upwith a cookout at the Brockton Vahospital on august 7.

For Flag Day, the Elks honoredour flags and veterans with a cere-mony open to the public. JimmyHuang, District Deputy, ECD wasan honored guest, as was ColonelMike Matondi, of Medway, andBob Fahey, Veterans agent for thetown of Franklin.

More is planned, however. TheElks are planning another bigfundraiser, a motorcycle run, totake place on august 20. registra-tion, which costs $20 for each

“Hopefully, we’ll get 200 motor-cycles,” says Ellis. “We’ll allcome back to the lodge after andhave a big dinner made by ourchef, George Coolidge. All theproceeds that we raise from thebike run event will go to theWounded Warriors Project, for thesoldiers that come home from Iraqand Afghanistan, for their care,”says Ellis. “We will also be doinga golf tournament in Septemberand all that money will go towardWounded Warriors program aswell.”

Confidence.

Despite advanced degrees, yearsof work experience, amazing timemanagement skills, confidence iswhat Linda Waters, Franklinowner of Back to Business, foundwomen need most. Those lookingfor a career change or looking toget their careers back on track afterstaying home with the kids oftenfeel hopeless, she says, becausethey need to build confidence.

Waters is a self-described “cor-porate refugee,” who left a well-paying position where she traveleda lot when her schedule and the“politics” of it became too over-whelming. although she thoughtstaying home with her two chil-dren would make her life easierand happier, she found herself con-stantly juggling monotonous tasks,with little recognition or reward.

“I learned for the first time whata challenge it is to be a stay athome mom,” says Waters. “It’seasy to lose your sense of self.”

In addition to losing faith in theirown abilities, says Waters, womenwho choose to stay home oftenface a challenge getting back intothe workplace.

“It’s so upsetting to me thatwomen make this supreme sacri-fice to stay home with their chil-dren, and when they get back tothe workforce, they’re treated withdisrespect,” she says. “Suddenlythe MBa doesn’t count. There aresome employers that get that, andthere are some that don’t.”

Seeing a need, Waters created herBack to Business career counsel-ing, where she helps women “trusttheir process.”

“People wait too long to make achange,” says Waters. “My job isto help them. Everyone has theirown brand of intelligence. Thetrick is to figure out how to use itand apply it to a career. That’swhen you’re going to be wildlysuccessful.

Waters’ own process led her todream up a concrete representationof women’s strength in a number

of ways. Waters envisioned a sym-bol, something beautiful that awoman could feel and touch, atangible reminder of her strength.

“It just came to me one day. Con-fidence Beads™” she says. In2009, she created a line of beads,each one with a “story to tell.”Each bead, crafted from Muranoglass and sterling silver, is im-printed with an inspirational mes-sage. For each bead she sells,Waters donates $1 to Ovations forthe Cure, a nonprofit organizationdedicated to a cure for ovariancancer, and to $1, in partnershipwith New Hope, to local programsaimed at stamping out domesticviolence.

“I’m so excited because the twocauses that I chose with thesebeads, they are locally based,” saysWaters. Both causes are “reallyimportant causes, because they areeverywhere, but no one wants totalk about them.”

Waters’ most recent creation is aninspirational bead specifically forthose who have struggled with

ovarian cancer. The “PrincessBead & Bracelet” is a complimen-tary gift offered only to ovariancancer patients and survivors. Thewords “Ovations” and “Princess”are inscribed on either side of thebead.

“The bracelets truly are a positiveapproach of guiding patients ontheir roads to recovery,” said LisaCollamore of Ovations. “Thesewomen have already paid a heavyprice—and Ovations will do any-thing possible to give them hope.”

Waters designed the bead tohonor women fighting ovariancancer. “This is more than a beadto match her outfit,” says Waters.“It’s a badge of courage to matchher soul.”

Ovarian cancer patients who areinterested in receiving a compli-mentary Princess Bead & Braceletcan submit a request by visitingwww.ovationsforthecure.org.

We Could Tell You Why You Should Work With Us. But We Prefer To Let Our Clients Do The Talking... Dear Jules, Karen O’Connell is from Coldwell Banker and lives in the area as well, she is amazing. Additionally, Jim Hanewich of NE Moves Mortgage was our mortgage broker. He is also amazing. He got us approved for a great mortgage at the best rate and because they work together it makes it so much smoother. Karen’s counseling experience comes in handy and Jim responds to me immediately even when I email him on a Sunday night at 9p.m. I highly recommend this real estate and mortgage team to everybody I come across. Love, Megan S.

“Callingfor thePantry”

Dial, ring, ring, ring - no answer,hang up, mark the sheet, move tothe next one and try again.

Dial, ring, ring, ring - no answer,hang up, mark the sheet, move tothe next one and try again.

the next one was a good one, I got through, let them know who I was and what I was doing. Ithanked them for having made acontribution to the Food Pantrypreviously. they appreciated thecall. they wanted to help. Weworked out the details and wentour separate ways. I recorded thetally on my listing and moved onto the next one.

the first annual phone-a-thon,“Calling for the Pantry” was heldover four days at the end of Apriland beginning of May. More thanforty volunteers made hundreds ofcalls to obtain thousands of dollars.For my own two shifts on thephone, I made over 70 calls getting

through more than half the time.yes, I considered myself lucky. Wehad heard the success rate wouldbe only reaching one of seven wedialed. Reaching half of my listwas outstanding.

More importantly, all of the folksI reached wanted to help. Somewanted to but could not at this time.Some were unemployed and look-ing for work. I have been there. Iknow the struggle of looking forwork in this economy. Some werewilling to drop off some food orgoods at the Pantry. I thanked themagain for their prior gift and weended the call.

Why do a phone-a-thon?

It was an idea well worth trying.We need the resources to continueto provide services to our clients.By calling, we could have a one-on-one conversation with ourFranklin neighbors. the Pantry al-ready has a personal relationshipwith our clients. they come inonce a month for their regular visit.As the summer rolls around andthe Farmer’s Market produce be-comes available, they will be ableto visit for fresh produce once a

week.

the phone-a-thon expense wasminimal. Dean College graciouslyallowed us to use their phone bank.the volunteers provided the timeand effort to make the personalconnection. the lists were updatedafter each call. Most folks electedto respond via mail. Some did usethe website to process their creditcard securely. For the cost of someprinting and stamps, in addition tothe donations, we obtained stories.

one donor was apologetic thatshe hadn’t been to the Food Pantryyet to drop off her check. She hadread about the phone-a-thon in thepaper and got her check ready thenshe caught a cold and had to stay into recover.

one donor thanked us for the call.they had been contributing viapayroll donation for sometime andhadn’t heard from us before. theywere very appreciative that we hadcalled to thank them.

More than one caller needed toverify that were not “some paid or-ganization collecting money on be-half of the Pantry, takingsomething for ourselves, along the

way.” No, sir. We were all unpaidvolunteers calling directly for thePantry. Reassured, they generallycontributed.

Franklin is a caring place. We areso grateful for the donations offood and money that have beenpledged and received. the FoodPantry will be a good steward ofwhat it receives so that in turn wecan maximize the benefits to sharewith our neighbors in need. thankyou for allowing us to help ourneighbors.

Steve Sherlock is shifting hisfocus from volunteering as Com-munity Information Director forFranklin Matters to volunteeringfor the Franklin Food Pantry. Re-cently elected as Chairperson of the

Board of Directors, he will be help-ing the Board as it continues the re-vitalization of the Pantry.

If you did not get a phone callduring the recent drive and wouldlike to contribute, your donationcan be made securely via our web-site http://franklinfoodpantry.org/or your check can be mailed to theFranklin Food Pantry, Po Box 116.Franklin, MA 02038.

Question: i hear so manyconflicting reports when it comesto high-fructose corn syrup(hFCs). is it really as bad as somepeople say it is?

AnsWeR: Let’s be clear—hFCs is not good for you. it cer-tainly doesn’t offer any healthbenefits, that’s for sure. But ifyou’ve been convinced that itposes additional health risks com-pared to sugar, or is simply worsefor you from a health perspective,then you may need to rethink

things. the preponderance of thescientific evidence indicates thathigh-fructose corn syrup andsugar, or sucrose, affect the bodyin very similar ways. Unfortu-nately, some health professionalshave ignored this research whendiscussing hFCs with the generalpublic and/ or the media. i thinksome of this misinformation stemsfrom the name of the ingredient it-self. Fructose is known to haveseveral adverse metabolic effectson the body, so based on the name,one might assume that hiGh-fructose corn syrup does indeed

pose additional health risks aboveand beyond that of traditionalsugar. however, hFCs is not re-ally high in fructose. in fact, it hasabout the same amount of fructoseas regular table sugar, which iscomprised of equal parts fructoseand glucose. Bottom line—avoidhFCs as much as possible be-cause it’s considered a source ofempty calories and it’s devoid ofnutritional value.

Question: My personaltrainer has been trying to get me todo olympic lifts, but i’m a littleapprehensive. What do you think?

AnsWeR: if you have a goodtrainer and he/ she thinks you’reready for some olympic lifts, i saygo for it. olympic lifts are greatbecause most of them are multi-joint, full-body exercises. themovements used by most recre-ational weight lifters are isolationexercises, so you should relish theopportunity to utilize the musclesof the entire body in a coordinatedfashion. olympic lifts are designedto help increase strength andpower (think strength at highspeed), and amazingly enough,they positively affect your cardio-vascular system too. another ben-efit is the fact that significantvolume (sets x reps) is not needed,meaning you can do an effectiveworkout in less time compared to

more traditional forms of strengthtraining. it is important to be prop-erly trained on form, however,since these lifts typically involveheavier weights and overheadtraining. that said, i assume yourtrainer is well prepared to teachyou these lifts (at least i hope so).Like i said, give ‘em a shot. i thinkyou’ll find that they’re quite fun todo!

Question: are there any se-rious health implications when itcomes to caffeine?

AnsWeR: interesting questiongiven the fact that caffeine hasbeen vilified in the past. however,that’s not the case anymore. Caf-feine is actually studied more forits health benefits nowadays as op-posed to any significant healthdetriments. it does increase heartrate, blood pressure, and respira-tory rate, but only to a small de-gree. if you have pre-existingmedical conditions that could beaffected by these “side effects,”then you may want to moderate oravoid caffeine entirely. and somepeople are considered caffeine-sensitive, so in addition to theabove, they may experiencetremors, anxiety, or insomnia.again, these folks might want tolimit or avoid caffeine as well.thankfully, those adversely af-fected are in the minority. For mostof us, caffeine is pretty benign. infact, some studies indicate that upto 90% of americans take in someform of caffeine each and everyday. that’s pretty amazing! aswith most dietary constituents, it’sa good idea to moderate your over-all intake, so keep track of foodsand beverages you consume andthe caffeine in them.

As a youngster growing up, Millis resident Julia Correa didn’tparticipate in sports. It wasn’t untilshe got to Tri-County as a fresh-man that she decided to try out forthe cheerleading team.

“Cheerleading was the first sportI was ever allowed to do,” Correasaid. “My mother didn’t allow meto play sports as she didn’t wantme to get hurt. As a freshman Iwent out for cheerleading andmade varsity.”

Correa participated in cheerlead-ing during the fall and winter sea-sons of her first two years at theFranklin-based school, but in thespring of her sophomore seasonshe decided to take on track.

“Track interested me as I was oneof the fastest on the team and I en-joyed running sprints,” she said.“The shorter the distance the bet-ter, I’m not a big fan of distancerunning I find it boring.”

As a sophomore Correa prima-rily ran the 200 meter dash – thatwas until her coach noticed thatshe could take on many differentevents with success. As a juniorthis past year, Correa not only ranthe 200, but she was also involvedin the long jump, the shot put, the100 meter dash and any of therelay teams that the coach found

needed.

“For the past two years she hasbeen one of the best athletes on theteam,” TC Track Coach TomRonan said. “It was at the hep-tathlon last year when I noticed alot of potential outside of her run-ning the 200.”

Looking to next spring Ronanbelieves that he may even movehis then senior into the hurdles, ashe’ll be rather thin in the event andCorrea has shown a lot of poten-tial.

It was as a sophomore when Cor-rea first decided to attempt theheptathlon (seven events: 200me-ters, 800 meters, 100 meter hur-dles, high jump, long jump, shotput and javelin) for the first time.outside of the running events,everything else was new to her, in-cluding the shot put.

“That’s when I was introduced tothe shot put. It was part of the hep-tathlon and I didn’t know anythingabout it,” Correa said. “I basicallyhad one week to learn and perfectthe sport, luckily I’m a fast learner.I did so well that year I told thecoach I wanted to try it this year.”

When she first started throwingthe shot put the Millis resident wastossing the rock in the 23-footrange. By the time the track seasoncame to an end she had thrown a

personal best of 27 feet 8 inches,something many would thinkhighly unlikely looking at her.

“I’m not very big in size (5 foot4 inches and 110 lbs), but I’m ascompetitive as they come,” Correasaid. “I like the fact that the othergirls look down at me because ofmy size. Their underestimatingmotivates me to prove themwrong.”

“Julia has a lot of genetic talent.In freshman, you sometime see alot of potential, but at that age mostof them don’t know how to har-

ness it,” Ronan said. “She is themost competitive individual thatI’ve ever meet, and that’s some-thing that you just can’t coach.”

Although Correa posted somepersonal best numbers at thisyear’s heptathlon, sprinting is herbest event. Competing in NorthRedding the Tri-County speedsterfinished 18th in the state out ofsome 100 contestants, setting per-sonal records in the high jump,shot put, javelin, high hurdles andthe 800 meters.

As a sophomore Correa went un-defeated in the 200-meter dashwith her only loss coming at theMayflower League Champi-

onship. This spring at the leaguemeet she finished fourth in the200-meters and second as a mem-ber of the 4 x 100 relay team. Therelay team advanced to the Stateswhere they also finished second.

During the summer Correa ishoping to be able to train harderthan she’s ever trained before sothat she can improve upon any andall events she participates in duringher senior season.

“My goal is to go onto collegeand run track,” she said. “A schol-arship would be nice, but I justwant to be able to run.”

Julia Correa is Taking the Fast Track to the Top

Julia Correa tried sports for the firsttime as a freshman in cheerleading.Since then, she has made the mostof what her Tri-County track coachcalls “genetic talent.”

Tom Geysen never played var-sity sports in high school or col-lege, but that didn’t stop him frombecoming one of Franklin’s top-notch coaches.

The 65-year-old Geysen, whowon Hockomock League champi-onships in girls soccer and boystrack, also was a high-calibercoach in boys basketball and soft-ball. Retired since 2003 after 35years of teaching english, Geysencontinues to direct the Panthers’girls soccer team and the boystrack squad.

“Those blue and white colors arein my blood,” said Geysen abouthis association with Franklin. “Igrew up in Boston and didn’t evenknow where Franklin was as a kid,but I’m glad my career as a teacherand coach has been in Franklin.’’

at Boston english High, Geysenalways commuted to school —from Charlestown to Brookline.and, he usually worked. He did,however, join the CharlestownBoys Club, and it was there that hegot interested in swimming andbasketball.

Only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds

when he graduated in 1962, Gey-sen grew to 6-1 and went from off-guard to forward in a verycompetitive setting.

“I played for the club for 11years, my last six in the seniorleague,” Geysen recalled. “I couldshoot and slash to the basket.’’

Geysen worked for a year, thenenrolled at Boston State. One ofhis classmates and friends at eng-lish and at Boston State was DonCotter, who left the city and joinedthe Franklin High faculty, eventu-ally becoming head basketballcoach.

“Before I graduated college in1967, Don told me about Franklinand its need for teachers there,”Geysen said. “Then Superintend-ent Ben Thomas asked me if Icould mix coaching with teaching,and I told him I was willing.’’

Geysen began teaching seventhgrade english in 1968, and beforelong, he was coaching junior highbasketball and football, freshmanhoops, JV soccer and varsity soft-ball.

“when Don Cotter became theboys hoop coach, I became thejayvee coach and did that for 12years,” Geysen said. “when Don

stepped down, I took the varsitypost in 1980 and coached until1987.’’

Geysen’s first year was dynamic.His team went 16-4 and advancedto the third round of the tourney.But, his stay wasn’t alwayssmooth. His 1984 club started 1-8,then went 8-1 for a .500 record.His last squad finished 3-17. Over-all, Geysen’s mark was a plus .500record.

“The 16-4 team was a thrill be-cause most of the veterans hadgraduated, and we had little varsityexperience,” Geysen said. “But,they worked hard and paid theprice for success. The .500 team of1984 never quit, and my last teamnever quit either and worked theirtails off, even though we won onlythree games.’’

Geysen felt it was time for newblood to take the reins and put bothbasketball and softball in his rear-view mirror. He continued tocoach girls soccer and guided thePanthers to Hockomock League ti-tles in 1994, 1995 and 2010. His’95 contingent went 17-2-2 andlast year’s squad posted a 19-3-1record overall after winning theDivision One South Sectional.

working as an assistant in boys

track, Geysen took the head coach-ing post when Paul Davie suc-cumbed to cancer.

“Paul’s passing was a sad timefor us,” Geysen said. “He was apositive force for student-athletes,and he cared about them.’’

Geysen has been head coach ofboth indoor and outdoor boys trackfor a decade. His 2002 squad went8-0 and won the Hockomockcrown.

what Geysen has achieved is re-markable, especially since hiscoaching background at the startwas an empty cupboard.

“There was a combination ofthings that helped me,” Geysensaid. “I knew I wanted to coach, Ihad confidence I could, and I hada willingness to listen to others andask questions. I also went to count-less clinics, read books andwatched videos.’’

what has led Geysen’s squads tosuccess is his emphasis on teamfirst.

“I also tell my players that hardwork will pay off and eventuallylead to winning and having fun,”he said.

now in his 27th year as girls soc-cer coach, Geysen admits he’sbeen “blessed with team-orientedgirls who promote good chem-istry.’’

a resident of Franklin for 40years, Geysen and his wife mar-garet have three children and fourgrandchildren. Calling his late par-ents (Frank and winnie) role mod-els for their disciplined teachings,Geysen spends his leisure timeswimming and enjoying his fam-ily.

“I’ve been fortunate the way mycareer went at Franklin,” Geysensaid. “I’ll keep coaching as long asI enjoy it.’’

Tom Geysen is a coach for allseasons and for all the right rea-sons.

Franklin High’s lacrosse seasonended on June 1 after its loss toNatick in the preliminary round ofthe Division One east Tourna-ment, but for midfielder Jake Ver-sprille it marked the start of whatshould be a busy summer cam-paign.

The 6-foot, 165-pound tri-cap-tain, who was named a Hocko-mock League all-star, easternMass. all-star and team MVP, isgearing up for his seventh year inthe New england Select LacrosseLeague (NeSLL), which featuresthe state’s top talent competing ina tourney-style format. The leagueshowcases players from 11-19years old.

“At the high school level, I’ll befacing many all-star players fromMassachusetts,’’ Versprille said.“Our schedule is about 30 games,we practice at both Harvard Uni-versity and Belmont Hill School,and we’ll travel to tournaments inBaltimore, Philadelphia, NewYork and New Jersey. It’s a qualitysummer league where collegecoaches scout players they mightbe interested in recruiting.’’

The coach at St. Joseph’s Collegein Philadelphia already has aninkling about Versprille’s abilityand likely will be in the hunt forhim next year when Versprille willbe a senior. Coach Pat Cullinandidn’t scout Versprille in theNeSLL but discovered him at anunexpected meeting on thePhiladelphia campus.

“I’m interested in attending acollege that has a good businessadministration program,’’ said Ver-sprille who is an honor-roll stu-dent. “I visited St. Joseph’s with acousin and uncle who live in NewJersey. We decided to drop into thelacrosse office and possibly meetcoach Cullinan. We were lucky.He was available, gave me lots oftime, and it was just an awesomesession.’’

Versprille’s play as a junior wasawesome, too. He scored 15 goalsand assisted on another 35. And,when coach Lou Verrochi’s Pan-thers battled eight-ranked Hing-ham in a non-league game,Versprille opened some eyes.

“We trailed, 9-8, and lost, 13-9,’’Versprille noted. But, we stayedwith one of the best teams in thestate. I was able to get two goals

and two assists and I played con-sistently in midfield.’’

Verrochi, who used Versprille asan attack man as a sophomore,feels comfortable employing in avariety of positions.

“He can also play close defenseor long-stick midfielder,’’ Verrochisaid. “He’s very versatile, has greatstick skills and possesses terrificfield vision. He can break down anopponent, find the open man orfinish the play. He’s the motor ofour team.’’

Franklin had another quality sea-son, finishing with a 12-6 regularseason record that gave the Pan-thers the Kelly-Rex Division title.

Versprille, who also plays varsitysoccer, is adept in lacrosse becauseof his super instincts, field visionand speed. But, he also knowsthere are areas where he can im-prove.

“I’m a finesse player but I knowI need to work on gettingstronger,’’ he said. “I could add afew pounds. And, I need to workon my weak-hand shot.’’

Although Versprille was disap-pointed that Franklin didn’t ad-vance far in the tourney this year,

he’s hopeful his senior year willproduce a different result.

“My goals next spring are tocompile the best record in both di-visions of the Hockomock Leagueand advance deep into the tour-ney,’’ he said. “Winning the statetourney is a lofty goal, but it’s notout of the question.’’

Versprille has lots of praise forthe efforts of defenders Ryan Gar-land and Luke Cowper, the team’sother two captains. He workedwith them closely and enjoyed hisrole as a captain, leading by exam-ple but being vocal if situationscalled for that tact.

Versprille also likes Verrochi’scoaching style, which has been akey in helping him mature as anup-and-coming player.

“Coach Verrochi knows what tosay to help a player improve,’’ Ver-sprille emphasized. “He’s veryknowledgeable, stresses funda-mentals and is easy-going. He’s awell-respected coach.’’

A defensive-minded player whorelies on an athletic philosophythat focuses on winning first, Ver-sprille also competes for other rea-sons.

“I’m an intense competitor,’’ hesays. “I hate losing more than Ilove winning. But, I also playsports for enjoyment and I use it asa way to reach my potential. I alsogo hard in practice because thatusually is a blueprint for how onewill play in game situations.’’

Thanks to his cousin, SamScoba, who starred in lacrosse atFranklin and now is playing atQuinnipiac College; Versprillewas introduced to lacrosse at theage of seven. He quickly becameenamored with the sport’s speed,contact and degrees of aggressiveplay.

Jake Versprille’s partnership withlacrosse should be long lasting andhighly successful at the collegiatelevel.

Patrolling the defensive zone forthe Franklin girls lacrosse teamgives Kailyn Burke piece of mind.the senior is allowed to go abouther job without the pressure that isput upon while playing for twoother varsity sports.

Burke has played goalie for thegirls hockey team as well as thefield hockey team during the falland winter seasons, but she canrelax to some extent while playingdefense during the spring.

“i’m very comfortable playingnet,” Burke said. “Playing defenseon the lacrosse team is a nicechange of pace, and it’s somethingthat i enjoy doing.”

While that comfort zone wassomething that the senior really en-joyed, it quickly came to an end.Following the graduation of anne

Versprille, who has gone onto toplay goalie at springfield College,the Panthers were left with a largevoid – who was going to playgoalie for Coach Chris schmidtcoming into this season. enterBurke.

having played defense for thepast two varsity seasons, Burkemoved into the goalie position toosave the Panthers season, althoughshe would have much ratherplayed defense.

“We had an excellent goalie lastyear and Kailyn knew that we hada void to fill. having been a goaliein two other sports, she took it on,”Coach schmidt said. “We had afreshman make the team, but play-ing goalie in lacrosse is a very dif-ficult position, so Kailyn steppedup.”

“Coach had watched me in myother sports and knew that i could

play the position,” Burke said.“obviously the coach had faith inmy athleticism and mentality totake over the position. it took me awhile to come to a decision, but ieventually realized it was the bestfor the team.”

although having played the stop-per in both field hockey and icehockey Burke had all the tools tosucceed as a lacrosse goalie de-spite the differences in the sports.according to the coach, the sportsare completely different in the waythey are approached, it is definitelysomething that the senior cantackle, especially with the talenteddefense in front of her.

“Being a good athlete helps, butit’s a position that takes getting useto,” the Panthers Coach said. “Wedidn’t need her to be phenomenal,just solid; she has the intangiblesbecause of the other sports.”

Burke agrees with her coach thatit was a transition with some ad-justment.

“the angles and space are com-pletely different in lacrosse. i reallydidn’t think it was going to be thatmuch different than the other twosports,” Burke said. “it took mesome time to perfect the skill, andunfortunately i only had one yearto do so.”

anyone who has watched Burkeplay goalie on the lacrosse fieldwill agree that the senior prettymuch mastered the position insuch a short time. With Versprilleplaying between the pipes lastspring Franklin went 17-1 in theregular season and eventually lostto Wellesley in the miaa Division

1 south semi-Finals. this seasonBurke backboned the team to animpressive 16-5 record and unfor-tunately once again was done in byWellesley (6-5), this time in thequarter-finals.

“in no way, shape or form did shehinder our chances. i really didn’texpect to have the type of seasonwe had last year as we adjusted ourschedule to play top tier non-league talent,” schmidt said.“Doing what we did was phenom-enal, and she had a big hand inhelping us get to that point.”

Burke attributes her success toher goalie coach rick Grover andVersprille, whom she texts regu-larly.

“i’ve definitely surprised myself.i put a lot of pressure on myself tosucceed, but the entire team hasnot only supported the move, butplayed hard in front of me,” shesaid. “it was a hard sacrifice togive up my field position. i thinkabout it all the time wishing i wasstill out there, but the underclass-men have filled the void nicely,and that has made me work thatmuch harder.”

to give up her only non-goalieposition during her senior seasonshows the type of athlete thatBurke is. she is definitely a Pan-ther by heart and one that neverquit.
