The search for a newKing Philip RegionalHigh School principalhas ended, and the newperson is very familiarwith the school system.Lisa Oliveira, the asso-ciate principal at KingPhilip Middle School,will take over the topjob at the high schoolthis summer. Accordingto Superintendent Eliz-abeth Zielinski, the 48candidates in the poolfor the position werevery strong, and the fourfinalists were all highlyqualified candidates."The decision camedown to looking at two primefactors," said Zielinski. "Stabilityfor the school and school systemand the ability for an individualto come and hit the ground run-ning."

After four years at the KingPhilip Middle School, Zielinskibelieves Oliveira fits those re-quirements.

Zielinski added Oliveira's workwith students, parents and thesupport of the teaching staff were

all areas of strength. "One of thepieces that really stood out dur-ing the site visits was her workwith parents and students as it re-lates to a child's whole educa-tion," Zielinski said. "When thereis an issue with a child, she reallybrings that team together to workwith and around a child's needsto get what needs to be done. Thestudents know she has their backand she's supportive of the teach-ers."

Oliveira will replace RobertWargo who has been namedprincipal of Scituate HighSchool. She is currently pursuingher Ph.D. at Northeastern Uni-versity and holds master's de-grees from Endicott College andAmerican International College.She earned her bachelor's degreefrom Wells College. Prior to ar-riving at King Philip MiddleSchool, she was a guidancecounselor at Blackstone-Mil-lville Regional School District

and was a facultymember at the Con-necting Link.

The appointmentto the top adminis-trative position isextremely excitingfor Oliveira. "I amabsolutely thrilledto be given the op-portunity to leadKPHS," she said."Having been onthe administrativeteam for the pastfour years, I knew Iwanted to pursuethis opportunity be-cause we have greatstudents, very sup-portive parents who

care about providing excellenteducation for their children andan outstanding staff. I am veryfortunate."

Oliveira says during her time atKPMS she was impressed earlyon with the concern the staffshowed for the students and theiroverall commitment to educa-tion. She says when she first ar-rived the KPMS staff worked on

The creation of a Highway Com-mercial District (HCD) passed over-whelmingly at June’s Town meeting213 to 23 while efforts to increase thePublic Health and Recreation De-partment Budgets failed.

The proposal to rezone the 1.4 milestretch of land running along Route1 from the Foxboro Town Line toThurston St. was put forth by townofficials as a way to attract develop-ment along Route 1. Town PlannerPaige Duncan said this rezoning wasabout planning for the future. “We’renot pretending that overnight therewill be development,” Duncan said.

Most of the land in the proposalwas zoned B-1with five split lots res-identially zoned. B-1, Duncan said isbetter suited for the center of Wren-tham where the businesses sit on

smaller lots. If the land along Route1 was developed under the currentzoning, it would be a series of smallbusinesses, with numerous stand-alone parking lots. The HCD willnow impose new zoning standardsthat officials hope will both addresssome of the environmental issuesthe land faces, such as steep topogra-phy and wetlands, and allow forshared parking and internal accessbetween parcels limiting curb cutsand allow for environmental sensitivedesign. A motion was made byKatherine Deluca to remove one splitlot on Thurston St. from the HCD,and keep it residential in an effortprovide a greater buffer for the homeson Oak Ridge Dr. The motion wasdefeated and the article passed as itwas originally proposed on the War-rant.

The other major zoning article onthe floor was a new use table thatpassed unanimously.

Before the meeting was recessed at11:07 several lengthy discussionswere held on the budget. EverettSkinner made a motion to increasethe salary line for the Board of Healthoffice to have a full-time clerk. Themotion sparked passionate debateabout the frustration to do businesswith the town with a Public HealthOffice that was only open part of theday, but ultimately the motion to addto the salary line failed.

The Recreation Department’sbudget received a great deal of debatebefore the meeting adjourned. A mo-tion was made to use funds from thestabilization account and increase thedepartment’s budget $142,500 in anattempt to lower user fees which haverisen from $15 to $60 per person inrecent years. Greg Klim, presidentfor King Philip Youth Lacrosse, oneof the programs that uses the town’sfields and pays the fees, said, “We’redoing everything we can to offer ahigh level of sports. The Rice Com-plex is great but our user fees are get-

ting to a point where we can’t bringin the training for coaches and equip-ment safe enough for the kids.”

Scott DiFiore, a Wrentham par-ent, spoke in favor of the budget in-crease saying the recreation facilitiesshould be supported by taxes likeother facilities in Town. “The fieldsare a town asset and should befunded by the tax base,” he said.“The Town Hall, Town Common,and Library are all funded by the taxbase, and the fields should be fundedby the tax base.”

Finance Committee Chairman,Jerry McGovern, spoke against usingstabilization funds but was sympa-thetic to the budget pressure theRecreation Department faced.“We’ve done recreation on the cheapin this town,” McGovern said. “Theproblem is we don’t have the moneyto do this.”

Joe Heck also spoke against usingstabilization funds saying recurringexpenses shouldn’t be covered by thetown’s emergency account. “This isa perfect example of something youneed to do on an override,” Hecksaid. “I urge you all to do an override.It’s the only sustainable way to do it.It’s the only fiscally responsible wayto deal with these issues.”

The use of the stabilization fundsrequired a 2/3 vote. The motion failedto reach that mark, receiving only 63votes in favor of increasing theRecreation Department budget to100 votes against.

Earlier in the meeting, McGovernpresented a summary on the TownGovernment Study Committeewhich he chairs. The committee islooking at the structure of the Town’sgovernment and seeing if changesshould be made. According to Mc-Govern, the process is lengthy andwill require feedback from all partsof the town.

The meeting was dedicated to thememory of William Daniel Jr., whopassed away in May. Daniel was adispatcher for the town and wasknown as the King Philip HighSchool crossing guard. “Wrenthamlost one of its finest,” said Keith Bil-lian, the Town’s Moderator. “He wasa town meeting regular attendee. Thistown meeting is dedicated to thememory of William Daniel Jr.”

The final vote of the night was onthe approval of Town’s Fiscal 2013budget of $34,164,134.

celebrating the success of studentsin a more public manner and thishas really had an impact on theculture of the school. "The teach-ers strive for performance aboveexcellence now and take pride insharing their accomplishmentswith the community," Oliveirasays. "We have experienced somuch success this year."

She cited accomplishments ofboth teachers and students.Oliveira points to the recognitionmath teacher Whitney Hartwellreceived from the New EnglandPatriots as one of the "Super Peo-ple for the Super Bowl" and thesuccess two teams of studentsachieved by taking gold medals inan academic competition at MIT.

Looking forward to her new po-sition, Oliveira hopes to continuethe work Wargo did in building apositive climate at the high schoolfor students. She is also aware thather responsibility for student dis-cipline at the middle school maymake some concerned there willbe major changes coming to the

high school. "I recognize that dueto my role as disciplinarian, stu-dents may be concerned aboutsweeping changes," she says."One student asked me at thefocus group, 'Are you going tochange the dress code?' I had tochuckle a bit at the perception, butmy answer is this, it is importantto maintain the student culture thathas been established."

Oliveira added, "I don't plan onchanging policy. There is a venuefor that. Policy is developed withthe school council which is com-prised of students, parents andteachers. My job is to listen to theircollective voices."

Oliveira worked with Wargoprior to his departure. Her positionat the middle school will beposted.

Once Oliveira takes over her ini-tial goals will be to build a senseof stability and trust and she be-lieves her strength in analyzingteaching practices will be key."We have a lot of work to do thisyear with going through the [NewEngland Association of Schoolsand Colleges accreditation]

process and working collabora-tively with the [King PhilipTeacher Association] to developthe best evaluation tool we can,"she says. "This is very exciting forme as this is the focus of my dis-sertation. Specifically, I am inter-ested in how students can providefeedback to teachers so that theymay reflect and improve their in-struction."

Ultimately she is looking for im-provement and that, she says, re-quires change and adoption ofnew innovations. It requires vi-sion, collaboration, a plan and re-sources. "Currently, resources arevery tight for all educational insti-tutions so hopefully we can getcreative to provide our teacherswith what they need to examinestudent data, take risks, reflect andcollaborate," Oliveira says. "Thesky is the limit because our stu-dents are the greatest."

Though he’s played in front ofthousands of people, New Eng-land Patriots linebacker MikeRivera admitted to being a littlenervous while speaking to KingPhilip Middle School students lastmonth.

Luckily, he was working in frontof a friendly crowd.

Rivera, at the school along withteammate (and fellow linebacker)Jeff Tarpinian to kick off its sum-mer reading program, was fieldinga question about whether he gotnervous before games.

“When something’s important toyou, you get nervous,” he said.“When you know what to do, andwhen you’re prepared, it’s better.”

Tarpinian agreed.

“If you start looking ahead andworrying about things you can’tcontrol, it’s stressful,” he said.“My high school coach taught meto focus on the things I can con-trol, like my attitude and effort.”

The school is working in con-junction with the Patriots to en-courage students to keep theirminds active in the coming sum-mer months. Teachers have chal-lenged students to read 3,000books – or, as they put it, “tackle3,000 texts” - over the vacation.

Should the school meet the goal,players from the team will return,and a student will get a chance tohave lunch with them.

“We’re giving the kids play-books for the program, so we cantell them that, while the Patriotsare tackling their playbooks overthe summer, the kids can be work-ing on theirs,” said middle schoolEnglish teacher Nancy Fischer.“It’s a nice analogy that we’rehoping the kids can relate to.”

High school English teacherSean Skenyon said he hoped for asnowball effect.

“Maybe a student will read onebook they’re interested in, andthen read another by the same au-thor,” he said. “In today’s day andage, with iPods and cell phones,there are a million distractions.”

Rivera, in his speech, encour-aged the students to reach the3,000-book goal.

“I think you guys can do it,” hesaid. “Look at how many peopleare in here – you can do it if youjust read three books each.”

Tarpinian said reading was inte-gral to his own success as a foot-ball player.

“I’m in my second year with theNew England Patriots, and onething I’ve realized is how intelli-

gent and smart all the players are,”he said. “People don’t realize howmuch work we do during theweek – how much studying we doand how much film we breakdown. It’s important to keep upwith that.”

Rivera said the players must dotheir homework before eachgame.

“Every week, we take on anotherteam, and we have to learn allabout them – what they’re good at,what they do on offense and de-fense,” he said. “We have to readtons of pages, so we know whatwe can expect.”

He went on to say that he intendsto keep on learning throughout hislife.

“I hope to educate myself aboutthings after football, so, in my nextstep, I hopefully can have a jobthat I enjoy and love doing,” hesaid.

KP student Rebecca Phillipsasked Tarpinian which teammatehe’d take with him if he werestranded in the desert.

“I think I’d want an outdoors-man – Tom [Brady] is a nice guy,but I don’t know if he knowsabout the outdoors,” he said.“Logan Mankins is a big guy anda hunter. I’d feel comfortablegoing into the wild with him.”f

Hi Doug,

We are planning a home renova-tion project for later this year orearly in 2013. We’re hoping to ex-pand the size of our home so we canadd a larger family room while re-modeling the kitchen. We’d also liketo add a master suite and a mud-room. How do we start thisprocess?

Cindy, Needham

Hello Cindy,

Thanks for sending in an excel-lent question. In the last few years,I have been invited several times tobid on large renovation projectsafter the homeowners have hiredprofessional architects, investedcountless hours, and spent hardearned money on terrific blueprints. The trouble is, all too oftenthe homeowners only then find outthat the value of the project waswell beyond what they could af-ford. For that reason, it is impor-tant that you start with a realisticbudget.

If you already have funds avail-able for the project, set a firm capfor your project and don’t forget toinclude all the ancillary costs asso-ciated with a project such as land-scaping, furniture and accessories,and even high tech gear such as atelevision and stereo system for thefamily room area.

If, on the other hand, you plan tofinance your project or take a

home equity loan, than you shouldstart by meeting with your bank.Lending practices have changedgreatly over the last few years, asbanks have become much stricter.There may be months of paper-work, appraisals, and other redtape to cut through before youtruly know what your budget is.

At this point, you still may havesome due diligence to do beforeyou are ready to proceed with de-sign plans or construction firm in-terviews. Unlike years ago, whenyou could count on your home’svalue increasing on a regular andconsistent basis, now you have tobe much more prudent when con-sidering any type of renovationproject. It’s not easy to completea major renovation project on yourhome and “flip” it with a high re-turn on your investment. For thisreason, you should carefully con-sider how long you plan to stay inyour home. If you plan to stay for10 or more years, than it’s proba-bly safe to swing for the fences!After all, you deserve to have abeautiful home.

If, on the other hand, you maymove in the next few years, youshould take this into considerationas you plan your project. Willthere be a good return on invest-ment? Is it worth going throughthe construction process only tosell in a few years? Should youmove to another home that alreadyhas everything you want? Theseare all questions to consider beforeyou move forward with any homerenovation project.

When you have a firm grasp onyour budget and future plans forthe home, it’s probably safe to startinterviewing building and remod-eling firms or architectural firms.There are several paths you canchoose at this point, so considerthese factors:

If you plan to hire an architect,you may be anywhere from 3 to 6months away from having plansthat are ready for constructionbids. Make sure you build thistime into your schedule. For ex-

ample, if you are starting the blueprints phase in June, you’d belucky to have a late fall start. In-stead, plan for winter or evenspring of 2013. Another importantdiscussion point with architects isbudget. Thisshould include thecost of the blueprints, what man-agement role thearchitect will playduring actual con-struction, if any,and of course, thebudget of the en-tire project. Besure to let the ar-chitect know pre-cisely what yourbudget is, includ-ing blue prints,and insist theywork with you todesign a job thatwill keep the pricewithin your range.Some architectsare very good about this, others arevery vague and non-committalwhen it comes time to talk budget.As noted above, I’ve been handedformal (expensive!) blue printsmany times, only to have to informa client that the beautiful designwould cost more than twice whattheir actual budget is. That’s a lotof heartache after months of emo-tional and financial investment.

Another option is to work with adesign /build company. Most de-sign/build firms have architectsand designers on staff, so they canassist with budgeting and planningfrom the start. This process shouldalso start with a frank conversationabout your budget, along with yourexpectations for the scope and thetiming. A major advantage ofworking with a design/build firmis faster time to completion. Un-like the architect option, where youinterview contractors and obtainquotes much later in the process,you can reserve a place in theschedule of a design/build firmwhile you are working on designsand budgets. In addition, you will

be dealing with only one company,so you’ll save a lot of your owntime and reduce headaches byworking with a single source in-stead of an architect, a designer,and a contractor.

Another great reason to workwith a design/build firm is costcontrol. Since the design team isworking hand in hand with theconstruction team, communicationis better from the start. This meansthat as the project moves from con-ceptual stage to more detailed blueprints and specifications, thebudget is always a major factor inthe decision making process.Major cost overruns are usuallydiscovered early in the process, sothat by the time the project is readyto start, there will be a contract inplace that specifies all the detailsand finishes on the job at a firmprice.

Finally, before you decide tomove forward with an architect,contractor, or design/build firm,make sure you check credentials.Ask for copies of current licensesand insurance certificates. Any-body working on your propertyshould be properly insured, andthat includes architects and theirprofessional staff. Think aboutthis: If someone is working at yourhome and they somehow get in-jured on the job, YOU and your in-

surance company are responsibleif the worker is uninsured or im-properly insured. It is critical to doyour research here to ensure youdon’t expose yourself to expensivelawsuits. Be sure to check refer-ences, too. You are talking about aserious investment of your owntime, energy, and money, so take

the time to speak directly with ref-erences, and make sure said refer-ences are for projects similar toyours. These tips will all help youto make certain that you have apleasant renovation experience andare happy with the results for yearsto come.

if there is anything else i cando just let me know!

A year ago, Dr. Trish Moore liter-ally hung out her shingle and startedher own business to help people im-prove their health. If you've drivendown West St., you might haveseen it. The changing white signhangs in front of her home and heroffice. One day it might read“Whole Body Wellness," while an-other day it might say “IncreaseYour Energy” and “Body Transfor-mation," or it might say all three orsomething completely different.

For Moore, her business isn’t justa chiropractic office. Rather, it’s anextension of who she is and herwhole body philosophy to wellness.It’s not just about spinal adjust-ments. "It's not a simple formula Iuse," Moore explains. "I talk topeople about their nutrition, theirfitness, their sleep habits and their

happiness. I'm really working withpeople to find their unique healthsuccess."

This isn’t the first business she’srun. She started a chiropractic of-fice, sold it, and she’s worked forother doctors. But she wanted tooffer something a little different.She wanted an office that providesthe traditional chiropractic treat-ments but also addressed nutrition,fitness and a person’s overall health.“I wanted to make my practiceunique,” Moore says. “It's a part ofwho I am and what I do for my lifeand my family.”

Not only is it a part of who she is,but it’s a part of her home. She saysrunning the business office out ofher house really provides her pa-tients with a relaxed environmentand she is able to have some flexi-bility as to when she sees patients.

“I can see patients by appointment,yet, if people call and I can get themin, I'll see them. I'm not limited bydriving to an office and opening thatoffice,” she says.

Moore sees everyone from babiesto granddads and helps address amyriad of health problems. Sheworks with patients on pain relief,postural corrections, overall heath,weight loss and fitness. “Some-times people come in withheadaches and they don’t knowwhat it’s from,” she explains.“Sometimes it’s from a spinal mis-alignment. Chiropractic is verybeneficial for a variety of health re-lated symptoms like that.”

In addition to being a trained chi-ropractic physician Moore, hastraining in sports related health is-sues and working with people to re-cover from injuries and preventfuture problems. She completed apost-doctoral program in special-ized sports medicine topics, andpassed a Board exam to earn thecredential of Certified ChiropracticSports Physician. Her unique ex-pertise in the management of ath-letic injuries improves her patientoutcomes. “I have a lot of peoplethat are runners, triathletes, profes-sional athletes,” she says. “Manyare trying to get their performanceto a higher level. Sometimes it's amatter of alignment of their spine. I

work on extremities as well, I workon their ankles or knees, or correct-ing joint functions of knees and feetand shoulders.”

To emphasize the fact she workson the body from the toes all theway to the head, one of her signssays, “Head, Shoulders, Knees andToes.”

“People are always laughing withthat one because they’ll sing thesong,” Moore says. “I really dealfrom the head to a toe, with any sortof problem.”

Moore is trained to diagnose and,if she has to refer out to a medicaldoctor or recommend massagetherapy, she will. “If it's something Ican't help I will certainly refer iton,” she says. “I don't claim to beable to fix every problem, but a lotof times I can be helpful in guidingpeople along the right path.”

To contact Moore call 508-889-0677 or visit her web site www.drtrishmoore.com.

Night two of Wrentham an-nual town meeting movedquickly to wrap up its re-maining business (includingthe purchase of a new ambu-lance and consideration of aregional dispatch center for911 calls).

The town considered 15 ar-ticles in the sparsely at-tended, hour-long meeting.

Voters approved $250,000for the purchase of a new am-bulance for the town's emer-gency services.

Finance Committee mem-ber Sue Kost said her com-mittee recommended thepurchase (along with fundsfor new election equipment),despite typically addressingcapital items in the Novem-ber Town Meeting. That rec-ommendation, she said, wasspurred by an immediateneed for the items in ques-tion.

"[One of the town's currentambulances] is pretty muchoff the road at the moment,so that needed to be re-placed," she said. "The elec-tion equipment is needed for thefall elections."

The town also voted to petitionthe legislature to allow the region-alization of 911 dispatch forWrentham, Norfolk, Plainvilleand Franklin. That measure isbeing undertaken as a way to cutcosts and use emergency person-nel more effectively.

Norfolk and Plainville had pre-viously considered and passed a

similar article at its town meet-ings.

The matter was passed withoutcomment.

The only matter eliciting contro-versy was a new requirement thatelected boards and officials holdpublic hearings before deciding tochange the fees it/they assess.

Conservation Commissionmember Leo Immonen expressedconcern over the change.

"I wonder why the town clerk orrecreation committee would berequired to have a public hear-ing," he said. "We elect the townclerk to do a job, and that includessetting fees."

Selectman Michael Carroll saidthe change would simplify mat-ters, as current procedure requires

the town appointing authority -the board of selectmen - to setfees. He said this procedure often

isn't followed.

Fiske Library TrusteeMaureen Osolnik asked ifthe library would have tohold a public hearing be-fore changing its overduecharge from 25 cents to 35cents.

Carroll said it would, butadded that such hearingscould simply be a part ofthe library trustees' regularmeetings.

Assessor Joan Dooleysaid she was concerned thatthe boards couldn't act onthe fee changes immedi-ately after the public hear-ings.

Carroll said he believedsuch a delay would beminor.

"By properly planningyour meetings, deferring [afee change] for a couple ofweeks shouldn't be a prob-lem," he said.

The matter passed by a25-19 vote.

Boy ScoutsSpruce Up WDC By mike Gleason

Once confined to the GreatPlains of the country, coyotes havefound their way eastward in thepast half-century, causing concernas suburban areas report more andmore activity by the animals.

Norfolk recently hosted a talk byLaura Conlee, furbearer projectleader for the state Department ofFisheries and Wildlife, to addresscitizen fears about the animals.

Conlee said the coyotes moved toMassachusetts as conditions herebecame more amenable to theirexistence.

“As settlers came in, they tookdown the forests and removed thelarge predators,” she said.

Though coyotes may appear in-timidating, Conlee said, they typi-cally avoid contact with humans.

“They’re generally shy and elu-sive,” she said. “They can be activeduring the day or night, but theirpeak activity is at sunrise and sun-set.”

According to Conlee, coyotesmay sound threatening at night,but their howls typically aren’t ma-licious.

“We get a lot of calls about coy-otes howling,” she said. “Moreoften than not, they’re communi-cating with other groups.”

At the talk, one Norfolk residentsaid his dog had been attacked bytwo coyotes at night. He said thedog left the floodlit section of hisyard at night and came back, bat-tling the animals.

Conlee said such fights are oftenspurred by the pets themselves,seeking to protect their mastersand defend their territory.

The best way to keep coyotesfrom coming in to neighborhoods,Conlee said, is to teach theseadaptable animals not to do so.

“They’re territorial animals,” shesaid. “If you’re not in charge ofyour territory, they learn that peo-ple will let them be and [they’ll] dowhatever they want.”

Conlee said people who see coy-otes should stand their ground.

“Don’t let coyotes intimidate you– make noise,” she said. “Honkingyour horn doesn’t work very well,though… the reason they don’t runis that coyotes cross roads on aregular basis, so they hear horns allthe time.”

She recommended throwingsmall objects at the animals, squirt-ing them with a hose or water gunor just banging pots and pans to-gether to create a startling noise.

To prevent coyotes from comingto one’s yard, Conlee suggestedremoving shrubby areas and brushpiles from one’s backyard, usingfences and eliminating potentialfood sources by not leavinggarbage bags out overnight and notusing open composting for foodscraps.

“If you feed birds, keep the seedclean,” she said. “Use feeders thatdon’t let the seeds spill onto theground. It’s not the seeds that at-tract coyotes, but the small animalsthat eat the seeds.”

Norfolk animal control officerHilary Cohen said it was hard totell if there had been an increase incoyote activity recently.

“We’ve seen more people wit-ness their dog being bitten or at-tacked [by coyotes],” she said. “Inthe past, we’d see a dog walkingaround with a wound of unknownorigin – whether that’s an increase,I can’t say.”

“It goes in cycles,” she said.

The decision to invite Conlee forthe talk, she said, was spurred bytwo recent instances involvingdogs and coyotes interacting.

Cohen said, in 16 years on thejob, she had never seen or heard ofa coyote attacking a human.

Conlee agreed that such an inci-dent was unlikely.

“Coyote attacks on people arevery, very rare,” she said. “We’vehad five confirmed attacks in Mas-sachusetts – two of those coyoteswere rabid, and we suspect thethird was as well.”

Wrentham animal control officerChristopher Wider said his townhad seen two or three incidents thisyear in which coyotes had attackeddogs.

“The latest was two weeks ago,when a couple of coyotes attackeda spaniel,” he said.

He added, though, that such callsare rare.

Young children to aging veter-ans met on Monday in the centerof Wrentham to say a solemn“thank you” to the men andwomen who have served in ourmilitary and who gave their livesin protection of this nation. As istradition, the town held its an-nual Memorial Day parade withmarching units stepping off fromRandall Rd. traveling north onSouth St., before turning right atthe Original CongressionalChurch and then into CenterCemetery where residents andparade participants met for a cer-emony of remembrance.

Elected officials for the townand the Commonwealth spokereverently of the lives thatwere lost in combat, the veter-ans who were among us andmilitary still serving in harm’sway off in distant lands. KenOles, the Town’s Veteran’sService Officer, was master ofceremony and spoke of howyoung children cover theirhearts as the flag would passby in the parade. “It’s very re-freshing to see that again,” hecommented.

Joe Botaish, Chairman of theBoard of Selectmen, speakingon behalf of the entire board,

thanked the Department of PublicWorks for their efforts gettingready for Memorial Day and alsospoke of our military with grati-tude. “Let us not forget the sacri-fice of all our servicemen andwomen with us today and whohave passed for the freedom wehave today,” he said.

State Senator Richard Rossspoke of remembering all the mil-itary deaths in Iraq andAfghanistan since terrorist attackson New York and Washington, DCover ten years ago. “On this Me-morial Day we remember the 111Massachusetts service men andwomen who have died since Sep-tember 11, 2001 in service of theUnited States,” Ross said. “I hopeas we take the time today to reflecton the lives that were lost. Youmight also give thought to whothey might have become had theybeen allowed to return to us.”

Ross added, “It would have beensuch a gift to have them back, butthey gave us the ultimate gift forour freedom and for that we areeternally grateful.”

State Representative DanWinslow spoke rememberingArmy Sargent Adam Kennedyfrom Norfolk who was killedwhile serving in Iraq in 2007 andall those who died in combat

through the country's history.“These men and women of ourmilitary service did not want todie,” Winslow said. “Nobodywants to die, but they did not wantus to live under tyranny or oppres-sion. Their sacrifice is the gift ofour freedom and our gift to them isto never forget."

The ceremony featured poetry,prayers and the reading of namesof all military servicemen fromWrentham who died in combat. Aseach name was read, a voice an-swered, “Absent.” Taps wasplayed by a trumpeter near the cer-emony with a second off in the dis-tance repeating the performance atthe volume of a faint echo. Bothplayers were from King PhilipMarching Band.

After the ceremony at CenterCemetery, the marching unitsmoved to the Town Common wereservices were held near the warmemorials.

The Memorial Day services ac-tually started on Sunday, when allWrentham veterans were invited tothe Sheldonville Baptish Churchfor a Sunday workship.

Young Artists Use Their Talents toHelp Fresh Air Fund

Franklin’s Kim Rezendes, Direc-tor of the Little Music School(LMS) at the Franklin School for thePerforming Arts (FSPA), celebratesher 15th anniversary teaching piano,developing curricula and leading theLMS program at FSPA. Rezendes’history with FSPA extends fardeeper, however, to 1980 when shewas eight-year-old piano student ofRaye Lynn Mercer, FSPA Founderand Director.

When FSPA opened its doors in1985, Rezendes was among the firststudents, taking musical theateralong with her piano lessons. Shewas also among the original sevenmembers of FSPA’s first performingtroupe, Broadway Light – alongwith four of her closest friends whoare still a big part of her life today.In high school, Rezendes also par-ticipated in FSPA’s SummerStageprogram, performing alongsideJudy Bergesen, then a teacher atFSPA. As Bergeson rejoins theFSPA faculty, teaching in the LMSprogram this fall, yet another aspectof Rezendes’ FSPA experiencecomes full circle.

After earning a Bachelor of Artsdegree in Music from ProvidenceCollege and a Master’s Degree inTeaching Music from Rhode IslandCollege, Rezendes began workingfull time at FSPA in 1997. Initiallyteaching musical theater, privatepiano, and Kindermusik, she helpeddevelop a new sequence of chil-dren’s music classes for kids ages 1-

5, accompanied by aparent or caregiver.Rattles and Rhythms,Wee Play and Do-Re-ME! are still part of thecurriculum today. Theclasses comprise abroad general musiccurriculum, establish-ing a foundation inbasic music conceptsin a fun, energetic way.

In 2005, Rezendesand Mercer sought tooffer a new music pro-gram geared to chil-dren as young as 18months that would bemore structured, fo-cused on piano and provided with-out a parent in the classroom. Seeingthe possibility in an 18-month-oldlearning to play the piano and readmusical notation, Rezendes andMercer introduced the Little MusicSchool at FSPA. The innovative pro-gram invites children up to the pianoduring their very first lessons andbegins to teach them how to read,understand, notate, enjoy and playmusic.

The strength of the Little MusicSchool program is measured,Rezendes notes, in the commitmentstudents feel and make toward theirinvolvement. Nearly 100% of stu-dents who enroll in the programgraduate and continue on in theirmusical studies at FSPA. Rezendesattributes that success to the small

class size, with no more than sevenstudents, that facilitates individual-ized instruction and attention to theneeds of each child. Both parentsand students appreciate the sense ofindependence and accomplishmentthat comes from learning in a safeand nurturing environment wherestudents succeed without a parent inthe classroom. Students gain confi-dence and social independence at anearly age.

As an educator, Rezendes enjoys“seeing music through such youngeyes and minds and seeing students’excitement and wonder.” Over theyears, she has taught many siblingsand appreciates how differently chil-dren react to the various facets of theprogram. Students find success indifferent aspects of the curriculumand find comfort either with more

structured compo-nents or with morecreative outlets forexpression. And be-cause core aspects ofthe program extendfrom year to year,children expandupon their knowl-edge and build uponwhat they’velearned. In this way,families with stu-dents at differentages and levels canstill engage with oneanother about theirmusical experiencesand learn from one

another.

Rezendes drew upon her own ex-perience as a mother in creating theLMS program and enjoys seeing herown children, twins Hannah andMadison, age 9, develop their ownmusical interests. Both went throughthe LMS program and continue totake piano, ballet, tap and voice atFSPA. In fact, the FSPA experiencehas become a family affair for theRezendes clan. Her husband, Guy,performs in many of the FranklinPerforming Arts Company (FPAC)productions and serves as a tech co-ordinator for the shows. Guy enjoysthe camaraderie with other dadswho are involved with the produc-tions and the girls love having theirdad onstage and backstage withthem. Rezendes’ father, SteveCrowley, is also part of the FPAC

community, appearing in many per-formances. Her mom prefers to sup-port from the audience – and thrillsto see three generations of her fam-ily sharing the stage.

Rezendes reflects on her decades-long involvement at FSPA and howthose experiences inform her teach-ing and work with kids. “So muchof who I was and who I am was builtat FSPA,” she says. “I know howimportant a job it is to be a mentorin these kids’ lives – emotionally, so-cially and musically. That knowl-edge guides and motivates me.”

Rezendes will hold several up-coming LMS open houses at FSPAfor prospective students and familieswho would like to learn more aboutthe program. The open houses willfeature hands-on demonstrationsgeared to children of specific ages.On Wednesday, July 11 and Tues-day, July 24, children ages 18-24months are encouraged to visit at10:30, children ages 2 and 3 years at11:00, and children ages 4 and 5years at 11:30.

Two Convenient Locations

Few activities embody the spiritof summer like sailing. Smellingthe ocean air while catching somefish or preparing the boat for a fun-filled day on a nearby lake are ac-tivities synonymous with summerrelaxation.

As enjoyable as sailing can be,it's in the best interests of sailorsand their passengers to take certainprecautionary measures to ensureeveryone makes it back to shoresafely. One such measure is pro-tecting skin from the sun. Whensailing, men, women and childrenspend a significant amount of timesoaking up the sun's rays, whichcan lead to chronic skin damage oreven skin cancer for those whodon't take steps to protect them-selves. The following are a fewways boaters can ensure their nextsailing trip is as safe as it is fun.

* Don protective clothing. Whensailing, women might be temptedto wear a bikini while men mightprefer to wear some swim trunksand nothing else. Such attire mightbe relaxing, but it's not very safe.Instead of beach gear, wear protec-tive clothing, including long-sleevet-shirts and wide-brimmed hats

that protect both the top of yourhead, your neck and your facefrom sunburn. Sunglasses will alsoprotect your eyes from overexpo-sure to the sun's rays.

* Be even more diligent whensailing. When sailing, it's importantfor sailors and their passengers tobe especially diligent with regardsto skin protection. Sand and waterreflect the sun's rays, increasing aperson's risk of sun damage. So beeven more careful and protective ofyour skin on the water or at thebeach than you would be if relax-ing in the backyard.

* Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. The AmericanAcademy of Dermatology recom-

mends a generous application of abroad-spectrum, water-resistantsunscreen with an SPF, or SunProtection Factor, of at least 30.Re-apply the sunscreen every twohours, and immediately after goinginto the water or if you find your-self sweating. Be sure to use a sun-screen that is "broad-spectrum," asthis means it protects your skinfrom both UVA and UVB rays.

* Spend some time in the shade.Even though you're on a boat, thereare opportunities to escape the sun.Sit in a shaded area on the boat, es-pecially during certain hours of theday when the sun's rays are at theirstrongest. The AAD notes that thesun's rays are strongest betweenthe hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.One trick of the trade is to alwaysseek shade when your shadow isshorter than you are.

* Be prepared. A boat carries ahost of supplies so sailors don't endup stranded at sea. But don't forgetto stock up on protective items justin case some sailors forget to bringalong sunscreen or protective gear.In addition to packing extra bottlesof sunscreen, store some extralong-sleeve t-shirts and wide-brimmed hats so friends and fam-ily don't fall victim to the sun orfeel as thought they need to sit inthe cabin or out of the sun for theduration of the trip.

Living Healthy

Last year, Massachusetts enactednew requirements for healthyschool lunches beginning with the2012-2013 school year. This initia-tive is part of a national movementto provide healthier cafeteria food.Thanks to the efforts of the Nor-folk Wellness Committee and Nor-folk Public Schools Food Services,the town’s elementary school chil-dren are already making big strideswhen it comes to nutrition andhealth.

The Wellness Committee wasfounded in 2009, as the NutritionTask Force, to help improve thenutritional value of school lunchesand encourage families to makehealthy food choices. The Nutri-tion Task Force subsequentlychanged its name to the Norfolk

Wellness Committee in early2012, to better reflect its overallfocus on nutrition, exercise and en-vironmental awareness.

Recent Program Highlights Chefs Move to

School Program

As part of First Lady MichelleObama’s Let’s Move initiative tocombat childhood obesity, chefsaround the country are partneringwith schools to promote nutritiousfoods. In collaboration with ChefRodney Poles and Healthy EatingSpecialist, Terry Michaelson, ofWhole Foods in Bellingham, twogroups of 5th and 6th graders par-ticipated in the Chefs Move toSchool program during the 2011-2012 school year.

This after-school class providesstudents with a hands-on approachto preparing nutritious recipes suchas stir-fry vegetables and blackbean brownies.

According to Jane Sylvestre, reg-istered dietician and WellnessCommittee founder “the ChefsMove to School program providesa great way to test and identify kid-

friendly recipes that meet new fed-eral nutrition guidelines requiringa wider variety of vegetables andwhole grains. The program notonly teaches good nutrition, butalso incorporates food preparationand clean-up responsibility.”

Fruit Day

Research has shown that studentswho eat better, perform better inschool. Thanks to donations fromlocal grocers and businesses, theNorfolk Wellness Committee dis-tributed fresh fruit to all K-6 class-rooms each school year as a wayto encourage healthy snack optionsat school.

Salad Bar

As part of a national campaign tohelp schools increase fruit andvegetable choices, Norfolk Free-man Centennial School studentshave a new healthy lunch option.Several times each month, studentscan choose from a wide array of

vegetables and beans in the cafete-ria salad bar thanks to a grantfunded by Whole Foods, UnitedFresh, NFVA (National Food andVegetable Alliance) and FoodFamily Farming.org.

“The salad bar allows students tomake their own healthy choices atlunch. We’ve received a thumbs-up from children and look forwardto offering it on a regular basis be-ginning next year” says NatalieZodda, Head of the WellnessCommittee.

Norfolk Schools Food ServiceDirector, Linda King adds “ in ad-dition to the salad bar, schoollunches will also include fresh fruitand a vegetable bar providing stu-dents with the nutrition they needto succeed in school.”

Ongoing Wellness CommitteeInitiatives Additional programssupported by the Wellness Pro-gram during the school year in-clude:

• Nutrition Detectives Programfor third grade students: an inter-active program, based on the workof renowned nutrition expert Dr.David Katz, that teaches studentshow to identify nutritious foods byreading and interpreting food la-bels.

This program was sponsored bythe Hockomock Area YMCA andthe Stop & Shop Family Founda-tion.

• An on-site vegetable gardenmaintained by parents, teachersand students

• A school-based bottle and juicepouch recycling program

The Norfolk Wellness Commit-tee is a collaborative effort of morethan 20 volunteer members includ-ing school principals, the school’sfood service director, nurses, a di-etician, and many health consciousparents dedicated to providing ahealthier environment for theirchildren.

People experiencing the blues,feelings of depression and othermood disorders might be able touse vitamin D to alleviate symp-toms of depression. New studiespoint to low blood levels of vitaminD as a culprit in depression. Simplyincreasing these levels offersmarked improvement.

A study conducted by VU Uni-versity Medical Center in Amster-dam found that low levels ofvitamin D may be linked to depres-sion and other psychiatric illnesses.The Amsterdam research, whichtracked over 1,200 people aged 65to 95, showed that blood vitamin Dlevels were 14 percent lower in in-dividuals with major and minor de-pression compared withnon-depressed participants. A studyin the United States indicated thatvitamin D deficiency occurredmore often in certain people, in-cluding African-Americans, citydwellers, the obese, and those suf-fering from depression. People withvitamin D levels below 20 ng/mLhad an 85 percent increased risk ofdepression compared to those withvitamin D levels greater than 30ng/mL.

Vitamin D has long been recog-nized as a nutrient essential to thedevelopment and maintenance ofstrong bones. It has also recentlybeen discovered to be of crucial im-portance to several aspects of over-all health. Being deficient invitamin D has been linked to anumber of disorders, including can-cer, autoimmune disease, diabetes,and now depression.

Vitamin D, also known as the"sunshine vitamin," is one of thefew vitamins the body can produce.The body can get all the vitamin Dit needs simply by being out in thesun with ample skin showing to ab-sorb the rays. However, increasedawareness about skin cancer, theimportance of sunblock and wear-ing clothes that protect skin fromharmful UV rays has decreasedmany people's production of vita-min D considerably. In the UnitedStates, the National Health and Nu-trition Examination Survey foundthat nearly three-quarters of Amer-icans are deficient in vitamin D.

Although there are some foodsources of vitamin D (salmon, tuna,mackerel and vitamin D-fortifieddairy products, such as milk), the

best way to get the vitamin isthrough moderate sun exposure.According to an article in U.SNews and World Report, it's impos-sible to produce vitamin D from thesun during the winter if you livenorth of Atlanta because the sunnever gets high enough in the skyfor its ultraviolet B rays to penetratethe atmosphere. But during thesummer, when UV-B rays hit theskin, a reaction takes place that en-ables skin cells to manufacture vi-tamin D. If you're fair skinned,experts say going outside for 10minutes in the midday sun -- inshorts and a tank top with no sun-screen -- will give you enough ra-diation to produce about 10,000I.U. Darker-skinned individualsmay need a little more time.

During the winter and for an extraboost, you will need to take an oralsupplement. A doctor can help de-termine how much you need basedon a simple blood test.

With anxiety, depression, risk forheart attacks and a number of otherhealth problems associated withlow levels of vitamin D, it may bein your best interest to supplementwith the vitamin.

Also known as refractive surgery,Laser Vision Correction refers toelective operative eye proceduresthat use a laser to reshape thecornea and change the way light isfocused or “refracted” by the eye.The goal is simple: to reduce yourdependence on glasses or contacts.If you are nearsighted, farsightedor have astigmatism and feel thatglasses or contact lenses limit youractivities, Laser Vision Correctionmay be the right choice for you.

The most common Laser VisionCorrection procedures are donewith an Excimer Laser. The Ex-cimer Laser is a computer con-trolled cool laser that correctsvision by reshaping the cornea toimprove the way light is focused orrefracted by the eye. Two majorprocedure types are available fortreating low to moderate levels ofnearsightedness, farsightednessand astigmatism: Laser AssistedIn-Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK)and Photorefractive Keratectomy(PRK). In both cases, the lasersculpts the cornea in about 30 to 60seconds and the entire procedureusually takes less than 15 minutes.

The Excimer Laser has beenFDA approved for use in bothPRK and LASIK. This type oflaser is ideal for corneal surgerybecause it emits a “cool” or non-thermal light beam that eliminatesthermal or heat damage to sur-rounding tissue. Newer lasers arenow state of the art and employcustom software able to treat near-sightedness, farsightedness andastigmatism up to a specific level.Lasers also employ eye-trackingdevices, providing additional levelof precision as the surgery is beingperformed. This feature allows thelaser to continuously detect andcompensate for eye movements,while guiding the laser beam tokeep it centered over the treatmentarea.

Laser Assisted In-Situ Ker-atomileusis (LASIK) changes theshape of the cornea to improve theway light is focused or “refracted”by the eye. After eye drop anesthe-sia is used to numb the eye, an in-strument or a different laser areused to create a corneal flap. Thesurgeon carefully lifts the flap, andin 30 to 60 seconds, ultraviolet

light and high-energy pulses fromthe Excimer Laser reshape the in-ternal cornea. By adjusting the pat-tern of the laser beam, the surgeoncan treat high levels of near-sight-edness and moderate amounts offarsightedness and astigmatism.After the cornea has been re-shaped, the flap is gently reposi-tioned in its original position.Because of the cornea’s naturalbonding qualities, healing is rapidand does not require stitches.

LASIK is performed as an outpa-tient procedure. Some patients re-port a slight, post-operativediscomfort that is usually alleviatedwith eye drops. Many patients seea dramatic improvement in theirvision within the first day. For oth-ers, vision may fluctuate and con-tinue to improve for several weeks.

Photorefractive Keratectomy(PRK) utilizes the same laser, butthe procedure is different: After eyedrop anesthesia is used to numbyour eye, the epithelium (the out-ermost layer of the eye) is removedfollowed by applying the same Ex-cimer Laser as in LASIK to re-shape the cornea. PRK isperformed as an outpatient proce-dure. Immediately following theprocedure, a bandage contact lensis placed over the eye for three tofive days to protect the eye while itheals.

PRK has a lengthier healingprocess and more discomfort thanLASIK. Patients may report somediscomfort after the procedureuntil the outer portion of the cornea(epithelium) heals, usually within48 to 72 hours. Some patients seea dramatic improvement in theirvision within the first week. Forothers, vision may be blurry andfluctuate for several weeks to sev-eral months.

LASIK and PRK almost alwayslead to the exact same results.

LASIK is faster to heal, but thereare risks including the need to per-form a cut in the cornea, possibledry eyes because of the cut and thepotential for weakening the struc-ture of the cornea if too much cor-rection is needed or if the shape ofthe cornea is too weak to start with.PRK, on the other hand, has dra-matically lower risks of these sideeffects and of course, there is nocutting to worry about…But thehealing time is longer.

Refractive surgery cannot correctpresbyopia (need for readingglasses when we are over 40). Al-though the need for glasses/ con-tacts will be much lower after laservision correction, the need forreading glasses will persist if youare over 40. In order to alleviate theneed for reading glasses (if you areover 40), we sometimes planmonovision. This describes a situ-ation where one eye is corrected toprovide good distance vision butthe other eye is left slightly near-sighted on purpose. In this case,and for many people, the brain au-tomatically adjusts to use the bettereye for the specific targeted vision.The nearsighted eye focuses wellon near objects and can be used forreading or similar activities,whereas the other corrected eyecan be used for driving, sports, orother activities requiring distancevision.

Our center and surgeons are spe-cialty trained in laser vision correc-tion. Patients are offered the bestand latest technology available,closer to home. While others askyou to travel somewhere elsewhere you only see your surgeononce or twice, your care with us isby the surgeon himself before, dur-ing and after the surgery. Laser Vi-sion Correction can alleviate yourdependence on glasses and con-tacts, and in many cases eliminatesthis dependence. This is indeedone of the smartest decisions onecan make.

Understanding LaserVision Correction

Living Healthy

Summer draws people outdoors toenjoy fun in the sun. But not everyaspect of summertime weather canbe pleasant, especially when sun-burn rears its blistery head.

Despite the health warnings aboutsun exposure, people still ventureoutdoors repeatedly without the useof a protective product with a highenough SPF. Side effects of failingto protect the skin can include nastyburns and an increased risk of skincancer later in life. Perhaps individ-uals fail to take sunburns seriouslybecause they don't associate sun-burns with anything dangerous. Butsunburn is just like any other burnand the skin pays the price.

Most people wouldn't intentionallyset fire to their skin or play withcaustic chemicals. But they willspend hours in the sun unprotected.Just like the flames of a fire, the suncan cause serious burns, even sec-ond- and third-degree ones. A sec-ond-degree burn causes not onlydamage to the epidermis, or the outerlayer of skin, but extends deeper intothe dermis as well. A third-degreeburn seriously harms the entire epi-dermis and dermis, as well as nervesand fatty tissue contained within, ac-cording to The Children's Hospitalof Wisconsin. Because the epidermisand hair follicles are destroyed, newskin will not grow.

Sunburn can occur after roughly 15to 30 minutes of exposure to the sun.

The burn itself may not show up forhours later, which is why peopleoften think they've avoided a burn.The results of sunburn are often pain,redness and potential blistering, de-pending on the level of damage. Al-though there is no specific treatmentfor sunburn, there are some remediesthat can help the pain and help tospeed up recovery.

* Drink plenty of water. Damagedskin may not be able to properly in-hibit the loss of moisture from thebody, resulting in dehydration.Drinking water can replenish fluidsneeded for comfort and health.

* Over-the-counter pain medica-tions may alleviate the stubbornpain. If the pain is very severe, con-sult a physician, who might feel pre-scription-strength pain relievers arenecessary. There also are topicalpain-relief sprays that temporarilydull the pain and cool the skin.

* Cool, wet compresses as well aslotions that soothe can also be help-ful and reduce swelling. Look forones with natural ingredients, suchas aloe vera.

* Oral antihistamines can helpwhen the skin eventually starts topeel and becomes itchy.

* If blisters are present, leave thembe until they break on their own. Pre-maturely breaking sunburn blisterscan increase the risk of infection. Anantibiotic cream may be appliedafter the blisters break to speed uphealing and prevent infection.

* If the sunburn is severe or ac-companied by a fever, consult aphysician.

The best way to treat sunburn is notto get it in the first place. This meansbeing diligent about applying sun-block before going outdoors.

Get ReliefFrom thePain ofSunburn

With just a few weeks remain-ing in the school year there was asmall electrical fire at the KingPhilip Regional High Schoolcausing the school day to be cutshort. Students were sent homeearly. An email to parents fromthe High School about the inci-dent said, "The Fire Departmentarrived on the scene immediately.All students were evacuated im-mediately. No one was injured.Students that walk home havebeen allowed to do so. Studentsthat are getting rides home will re-port to the tennis courts for parentpick-up."

Students in the building said thelights kept flickering off and on inthe auditorium. Many originallythought it was a student prank andlaughed it off. A burning smell wassoon noticeable in the the hallwaynear the cafeteria followed by thesound of the fire alarm.

Later in the day, principal RobWargo wrote parents saying, "Thehigh school building has beendeemed safe to occupy. For stu-dents who left their belongings in-side the building I encourage themto return and pick them up. Stu-dents who were eating lunch at thetime of the evacuation, your thingsare on tables in the cafe."

He added, "I want to thank

everyone for their assistance andcooperation during today's event.All students and staff played a crit-ical role in the safe and orderly re-sponse to this incident."

Reports of at least seven firetrucks and an ambulance were onthe scene along with a signficantpolice prescense.

July Library Programs

BY JEFFREY SCHWEITZER

Among other worthy causes,July is Bioterrorism/Disaster Edu-cation and Awareness Month.With all of the unexpected hap-penings in the world, it is impor-tant that we are prepared for anemergency disaster. Take this timeto educate yourself and yourwhole family on what to do in anytype of disaster. Get a plan readyand have needed supplies handy ifyou ever need them.

Identification.If you suddenly find yourselfstanding in a pile of rubble thatwas once your home and yourworldly possessions, establishingyour identity will be of paramountimportance. Access to personalidentification documents such asyour Social Security card, driver'slicense, marriage license, birth cer-tificate, passport and any citizen-

ship papers will help youquickly establish your iden-tity and speed up the co-ordi-nation of your efforts withinsurance companies, con-struction contractors, bankersand other entities involved inrebuilding and recovery.

Create a BackupSet of Records Electronically.Individuals and businessesshould keep a set of backuprecords in a safe place. Thebackup should be stored awayfrom the original set. Keepinga backup set of records - in-cluding, for example, bankstatements, tax returns, insurancepolicies, etc. - is easier now thatmany financial institutions providestatements and documents elec-tronically, and much financial in-formation is available on theInternet. Even if the originalrecords are provided only onpaper, they can be scanned, whichconverts them to a digital format.Once documents are in electronicform, taxpayers can downloadthem to a backup storage device,like an external hard drive, or burnthem onto a CD or DVD.

You should also consider onlinebackup, which is the only way to

ensure data is fully protected. Withonline backup, files are stored inanother region of the country - soif a hurricane or other natural dis-aster occurs in your area, docu-ments remain safe.

Document Valuables.Another step you can take to pre-pare for disaster is to photographor videotape the contents of yourhome, especially items of highervalue. A photographic record canhelp prove the market value ofitems for insurance and casualty

loss claims. Photos should bestored with a friend or familymember who lives outside thearea, or in the above mentionedonline backup solution. Suchproof can include photographs orvideos of personal possessions; re-member, digital cameras and cam-corders make it possible to quicklyand easily create a complete homeinventory record.

Update EmergencyPlans.Emergency plans should be re-viewed annually. Personal and busi-ness situations change over time, asdo preparedness needs. When em-ployers hire new employees or whena company or organization changesfunctions, plans should be updatedaccordingly and employees shouldbe informed of the changes.

Make sure you have a means of re-ceiving severe weather information;if you have a NOAA WeatherRadio, put fresh batteries in it. Makesure you know what you should do

if threatening weather ap-proaches.

We're Here to Help.Rebuilding your life inthe wake of a disaster is adaunting task. However,advanced preparation cango a long way towardmaking recovery easier. Ifyou don't have your docu-ments in order, there's notime like the present to getstarted. Once you haveeverything in its properplace, remember to updateit. If you lack the time orenergy to keep your filesupdated on an ongoing

basis, schedule a yearly checkupand use it as an opportunity to putthe latest version of everythinginto your files. Even the most well-organized disaster recovery mate-rials will be of no use to you if theyare out-of-date. Please contact myoffice for your free “EmergencyPlanning Guide” today. This de-tailed guide will provide more indepth plans to help you protectyour financial records from disas-ter.

Entering the season King Philipboys tennis coach Laurie Puddesterwas unsure of what she actuallyhad. The Warriors had finished 8-11last spring and missed out on thestate tournament for the first time in6 years. To make matters worse thecoach had said goodbye to TomEaton and Tom Yang, her secondand third singles players respec-tively.

As the season opener loomedcloser it looked as though the onlyracketeer to return to the court heplayed on last year was going to besenior captain Mike McCarthy atfirst singles. Six of the seven posi-tions on this year’s squad weregoing to be occupied by athletesthat didn’t play that position lastyear and four of the seven positionswould be occupied by new comers.

“Last year was a disappointmentin a way and with four brand newplayers looking to start I was hop-ing for a .500 season and making itback into the playoffs,” the KPCoach said. “This year’s squad did-n’t seem to have all the skills, butyou could definitely see they werea very competitive bunch.”

The competitiveness shonethough and King Philip capturedthe Rex-Kelley Division of theHockomock League, their secondleague title in four years (KP andSharon were co-champions in2009). However, this time it wasthat much sweeter as they didn’thave to share it with anyone andwhile many were saying the leaguewas watered down due to the twodivisions, King Philip was letting itfall on deaf ears.

“This meant a lot to us,” Pud-dester said. “I knew that these kids

could accomplish this and that’swhat we set out to do. We were inthe gym on a rainy afternoon prac-ticing when I looked up at all thebanners and right there it becameour goal. It was also on that day thatI realized that we had a legitimateshot at doing this.”

McCarthy, who had been a fresh-man on the 2009 team, like hiscoach noticed something differentin this year’s team that would allowthem to accomplish their goal.

“This year we had more fighters,more athletes with a competitivespirit. Every match they’d go outand want to win, I think we werelacking that a bit last year,” the cap-tain said. “We had a lot of new guyswho hadn’t played the sport before,but were eager to get going . Theypicked it up quickly and wanted towin.”

As the team’s number one playerby far McCarthy went 11-3 on theseason and was someone his team-mates could look up to. As a na-tionally ranked USTA athlete theother Warriors not only knew thatthat had a leader, but someone theycould talk to about improving theirgame.

Although it was McCarthy thatled by example on the court it waslast year’s rookie of the year, Ian Pi-mental, which provided a goodnumber of athletes to this year’sleague championship team.

“Ian was a big part of this year’srecruitment as well as the competi-tiveness,” the coach said. “I neverthought that he would have pro-gressed to where he is today afterhaving never really picked up aracket before last year. He pushedthe others.”

Prior to the season beginning, Pi-mental was slated to play either sec-ond or third singles, but as thingsprogressed, it was quite obviousthat Pimental was a much betterdoubles player and eventually wasreunited with Jon Marinelli, hispartner from last year about fourgames into the season.

“We had a match coming upagainst Brockton and I knew thatwe would need a win at doubles soI decided to move Ian back to dou-bles with Jon,” Puddester Said.“The two came through and de-feated a strong Brockton team andwent on to an 8-2 record the rest ofthe year.”

While playing singles was some-thing that Pimental really wanted todo, he also knew that in order forthe team to succeed he needed to goback to his strength. Paired withMarinelli the two would comple-ment each other to victory on a reg-ular basis. Marinelli would providethe power stroke, while Pimentalwould run down everything.

“I wanted to give singles a whack,but doubles seemed to be a better fitfor me. It worked out in the long runas Jon and I had a great season.” Pi-mental said. “I was shaky at singlesand doubles was definitely myhome, a more guaranteed win – asafe bet. I absolutely wanted thechallenge of playing singles, butalso wanted what was best for theteam.”

While the first doubles team wasestablished, Puddester had to gothrough numerous combinationsbefore settling on Christian fair andMatt Sullivan. The tandem wouldonly lose twice on the season andonce they figured out the sport andgained confidence in one another

they were unbeatable.

The biggest surprise of the seasoncame in the form of ex-baseballplayer Matt Nicholson who took astrangle hold on the number twosingles position and would not re-linquish it.

“During practice Matt was beat-ing everyone, except Mike, in chal-lenge matches and just moved hisway up the ladder,” the coach said.“There was nothing fancy abouthim, but he did possess eye andhand coordination and was able toanticipate where the ball was goingto be.”

The junior recorded the same 11-3 record as McCarthy in the top po-sition.

Rounding out the starting rotationwas another junior Nick Baraiolo,another athlete that moved into thethird singles by chance. The coachhad gone through four or five indi-viduals, but no one really seemed toclick so she went back to the chal-lenge matches and Baraioloemerged.

“Nothing was working. Nick wonthe challenge matches and has beenthere ever since,” Puddester said.“He defeated Alex Marshall fromFranklin in his first match in straightsets and then beat another qualityopponent from North Attleboro andkept improving. He finished 6-3on the season.”

Although King Philip did post a14-4 record in capturing the Rex-Kelley, the team’s post seasondidn’t go as planned. As a five seedin the Division 1 South tournamentthe Warriors were upset by BostonCollege High School, a 12 seed, inthe first round.

Staff Sports Writer

Athletic Director Steve Schaireris optimistic about the present andthe future direction of sports pro-grams at King Philip Regional.

Now that the 2011-12 schoolyear is in the books, Schairer ispleased that when September rollsaround, there’ll still be 27 varsityteams, student participation re-mains consistent, various pro-grams continue to be successful,facilities are respectable, andthere’ll be some new faces in head-coaching roles.

One area that does concern theveteran administrator is user fees,

which have increased.

Athletic fees last year were in athree-tier group that included acost to students of $285, $215 and$165. For the 2012-13 school year,there will be a four-tier schedulewith students assessed 25 percentof the tab while the school picks up75 percent of the cost.

The four categories are: $500 forboys and girls ice hockey andgymnastics; $400 for boys andgirls basketball; $300 for football,golf, boys and girls swimming,wrestling, baseball, softball and

boys and girls tennis; and $200 forcheerleading, field hockey, boysand girls soccer, winter and springtrack and boys and girls lacrosse.

“The fees unfortunately have in-creased but they’re based on thenet cost to run a sport and the num-ber of kids playing,’’ Schairer said.“Basketball is a higher cost thanfootball because there are twice asmany games and we don’t get theamount of revenue at the gate aswe get from football.’’

There is no cap on costs, even ifa family has multiple athletes com-peting. A family, however, canapply for a waiver if it meets lowincome guidelines.

Schairer is upbeat, however, withthe overall picture for Warriorsports. He’s especially glad nosports teams were eliminated andthat participation is holding steady.

“Often when there are tough fis-cal times people save money bycutting programs,’’ he said. “I’mvery pleased our administrationhas maintained a status quo.’’

When Schairer arrived five yearsago to direct KP’s athletic for-tunes, boys and girls swimmingand girls ice hockey were added tothe menu. Gymnastics, which had

been eliminated, was revived in2007.

Schairer also is glad student par-ticipation in athletics is about 50percent. Currently there are 1,260students enrolled in grades 9-12.

“Last year, we had 1,000 kidscompeting but that number in-cludes athletes who play more thanone sport,’’ Schairer said. “The1,000 figure counts a three-sportathlete as three and a two-sportathlete as two. Our programs havegood numbers, not one of them ison the ropes and that’s a healthysign. Some fans may look at winsand losses but what really mattersare the participation figures.’’

Schairer notes, however, that 15teams last year qualified for post-season playoff activity. Thoseteams included football, softball,girls lacrosse, boys cross-country,boys and girls tennis, boys basket-ball, boys and girls swimming,boys and girls winter and springtrack squads, boys soccer and golf.

The girls softball team, whichwas aiming for its third straightstate crown, lost in extra innings toBridgewater Raynham in theSouth Sectional final. Other no-table efforts were turned in by theboys swim team, which finishedNo. 3 in the states, and the girlsswim squad, which had a fifth-place finish.

The coaching landscape will bedifferent, starting in the fall seasonwith girls volleyball and boys soc-cer. Tim Layman, who was an as-sistant volleyball coach the last twoyears, will direct the varsity whileGary Pichel takes the helm of thegirls soccer team.

“Tim has a varied volleyballbackground,’’ Schairer said. “He’splayed the sport at various levels.Gary comes to us from NipmucRegional where his teams won apair of state championships. Ourgirls squad has struggled in thepast.’’

The winter season will see musi-cal chairs played in basketball.Sean McInnis is leaving the boysprogram and taking the reins of thegirls team. The boys will becoached by former assistant TimClifford.

“Sean felt the timing was rightfor a change,’’ Schairer said. “Ourgirls team has struggled and he

sees rebuilding the program as achallenge. Tim is a Walpole guywho played at Holy Cross and inEurope, and also coached as an as-sistant at Walpole.’’

The only other coaching changeis in wrestling. Mike Ragussa hasleft the coaching ranks for the busi-ness world and Scott Flaherty, aKP aide for the last two seasons,moves up as head coach.

Schairer is satisfied with KP’s fa-cilities, most of which were refur-bished five years ago. The fieldhouse, wrestling room and fitnessroom remain in good condition butthe football field could be headingfor a major facelift.

“An artificial turf field could be-come a reality in 2013,’’ Schairer

noted. “It’ll have to be included inthe school budget for the three-town district and passed at theirtown meetings. A vast majority ofpeople in Norfolk, Wrentham andPlainville see a need for it. I’m op-timistic it’ll happen by next yearbecause I believe there’s supportfor it.’’

The state of KP athletics appearsto be healthy and on an upswing.Schairer says the school is retain-ing athletes it once lost because“we’ve got good facilities andwe’ve had success with many pro-grams.’’

“Because of our success, kidswant to attend KP and their parentswant them to stay in the district,’’Schairer said.
