The Washington Street Players is in full swing again this
month, performing Crimes of
the Heart—by playwright Beth
Henley, on November 6th and
7th, and November 13 & 14, at
Holliston’s Upper Town Hall at
8 p.m.
“It’s a pretty well-known
play,” says WSP Director Alecia
Thomas, who takes the reins as
director with the group for the
first time with this play. Thomas
says the group regularly advertises on the Theatre411 website,
and this Pulitzer Prize-winning
play drew a number of people
from towns outside of Holliston
wanting to audition.
This tragic comedy tells the
story of three dysfunctional
Magrath sisters. “Babe” is
the youngest sister, and she is
played by Erica Goddard who
recently graduated from Westfield State. The middle sister,

14th Annual HBA Holiday
Stroll November 28
Jingle all the way into the
holiday season at the 14th annual Holliston Business Association’s Holiday Stroll on
Saturday, November 28, from
noon to 7 p.m. Member businesses and lots of local organizations will work together to
make the season merry, with
special treats and performances
throughout the day.
This year, says Diane Marrazzo, owner of the Grapevine, “Town Hall is going to
be the place where we have
the majority of the entertainment from 12-5 p.m.,” she says.
“We wanted to make use of the
Town Hall, but we didn’t feel
people will go up there for vendors.” Marrazzo worked with
John Paltrineri, Donna Cady,
Stacey Raffi and Kristen Hafford as the HBA Holiday Stroll
Committee. A good number of
vendors will be featured in the
more easily accessible Jordan
Hall, and Holliston in Bloom
and the Garden Club will be
featured on the town green, sell-

“Meg,” is played by Olivia Moriarty, a graduate of Emerson
College, who lives in Framingham, and “Lenny,” the oldest
sister, is played by a Holliston
teacher and Medway resident
Chrissy Petersen.
“I was looking for plays
with a lot of women, because
we tend to definitely get more
women than men to audition,
and our group is made up of
mostly women. It just seems to
be who we get,” says Thomas.
“This is four women and two
men, and it’s just a great, meaty
drama with a lot of super interesting characters. There’s a lot
of good stuff for actors to kind
of sink their teeth into,” she
adds.
In addition to the three sisters is a cousin named “Chick,”
played by Colleen Locke, of
Ashland. One of the male roles

is “Doc Porter,” played by Brad
Walker, of Hopkinton, and a
young lawyer, “Barnett Lloyd,”
played by Nate Callahan of Milford.
The three sisters reunite at
their Old Granddaddy’s home
in Hazlehurst, Mississippi after
Babe shoots her abusive husband. Each sister is forced to face
the consequences of the “crimes
of the heart” she has committed.
November 2015
Thomas, who studied drama
at New York University, sees herself as a guide for her actors.
“My job is to guide and help
the actors develop the characters
and really explore and figure out
how they want to play it. I like to
let the actors experience and develop characters on their own.”
Thomas says she owes a lot
to her stage manager, Yolanda
Greeves, of Ashland, “the director’s right arm,” she says,
who does all of the blocking on
stage. Yolanda’s husband, Rich
Washington Street Players will present Crimes of the Heart at Holliston’s Upper Town Hall on
November 6 & 7, and on November 13 & 14, at 8 p.m. From left, Brad Walker, Olivia Moriarty, Chrissy
Petersen, Colleen Locke, Nate Callahan, Yolanda Greeves, Alecia Thomas, and Erica Goddard.
Greeves, has both designed the
set and is in charge of lighting
and sound design.
“He’s a total Renaissance man
on this production, doing all the
technical stuff,” says Thomas.
“We’re excited to have him on
board.
In preparation for the upcoming play the Washington Street
Players has held rehearsals three
times a week, working on different chunks of scenes at a time,
says Thomas.
“Crimes of the Heart, to
me, it’s a very feminist play.
The women characters are very
strong, and it’s sort of about
these women coming into their
own and becoming strong, independent women, and I guess
that’s what drew me to it.”

Local Business Networking Group Celebrates 10 Years
The Referral Hub, a local
chapter of BNI (Business Networking International), is celebrating its 10th year of passing
referrals and helping its members grow their businesses. The
group has met in Holliston every
Tuesday at 7 a.m. since the summer of 2005, when the group
was founded. They currently
meet at the Lutheran Church
located at 600 Central Street in
Holliston.
The group was founded ten
years ago, when five business
owners and salespeople from
various towns in the area came
together to start their own BNI
chapter. In order to become an
official, sustainable chapter of
BNI, they were required to grow
their chapter to at least 20 members. Each week in those early
months the chapter focused on
who should be invited to join
their group. In November 2005,
less than 4 months later, The
Referral Hub reached its goal
and became an official chapter
of BNI.
BNI, as the name indicates,
has chapters all over the world.
There are over 180,000 members worldwide and last year it
generated more than 6 million
referrals (Inside BNI News, 2015).
Each chapter only accepts one
member from each profession or
specialty. This eliminates competition and enables all of the
members to act as each other’s
sales force. The philosophy of
BNI is “Givers Gain,” meaning that the more you are able
to refer out business, the more
likely you are to have business
referred back to you (Local Business-Global Network, 2014). Each
week at the Referral Hub meetings, the members exchange
new referrals and announce any
business that they were able to
close from a BNI referral in the
previous week. Both the number
of referrals and money earned
from referrals are tracked by
BNI. Last year alone the Referral Hub passed 444 referrals
and $667,803.00 between the
members. In the years since the
new tracking system has been
in place the group has passed
a total 5,455 referrals and
$4,056,989.50 in business.
Members of the Referral
Hub come from many different communities and you do
not have to be a Holliston-based
business to become a member.
While all chapters follow the
same basic meeting format,
every chapter has its own unique
personality. The Holliston chapter prides itself on being welcoming and friendly. Anyone

can visit the chapter, and so
long as their profession does not
conflict with someone’s in the
group, the visitor can join in and
present a 60 second “commercial” about their business and
how to refer business to them.
The group’s visitor hosts work
hard to ensure that all visitors
to the chapter feel welcome and
are able to meet and network
with as many chapter members
as possible.
While the members of the
Referral Hub are friendly and
sociable, the chapter is run like
a business in order to ensure
that everyone is able to profit
from their memberships. There
is a leadership team comprised
of a President (Alfred Adovasio, C.P.A. of Burke & Raphael,
LLC), Vice President (Julie K.
Murphy, Esq. of Rico, Murphy & Diamond LLP), Secretary Treasurer (Gregory Ross
with Jensen Sheehan/Bright
Agency), Membership Committee (Roberta Weiner of the
Prana Center, Joanne Apesos
of College Pursuits, and Holly
Landry of Edward Jones),
Education Coordinator (Alison Morant of AM Insurance
& Investments), Visitor Hosts
(Andrew Carini of Our Town
Publishing and Kristen Hafford
of E-motion computer services);
and a Member Success Coordinator (Jeffry Hattem of Primetime Promotions).
Each chapter member has
their own story of how he or she
joined BNI, but despite different
paths to the chapter, all arrived
with the common goal of growing their businesses. Chapter
President, Al Adovasio, joined
the Holliston Referral Hub over
two years ago because he was interested in growing his business
and increasing his professional
network. “Since that time, I
have seen tremendous growth,
which has resulted in me hiring
two additional people and taking on more office space,” says
Adovasio. “I highly suggest that

seriously consider joining this
group!” Attorney Julie Murphy,
a member since the beginning,
is looking for a mental health
therapist, elder law attorney
and business attorney to round
out her referral sphere.
There are also other benefits to joining this organization.
Roberta Weiner of the Prana
Center shared that, “Being a
sole proprietor, I didn’t have a
team to talk to about my business. Now I do. I feel like the
whole group has my back.” Roberta would like to see a massage therapist, chiropractor and

acupuncturist join the group, as
those occupations are naturally
great referral partners for her.
While an application to join
the chapter only asks for a 1- or
2-year commitment to the group,
the group has several members
who have been in the chapter
for much longer periods of time
and have been able to continually
generate new business through
their membership. Tom Sabbag
of “Tom of All Trades” has been
a member of the Referral Hub
for 9 years. “It has not only benefited me financially, comprising
about 30% of my yearly gross,
but I have a network of people
that I can rely on for help in
other professions and who rely
on me to help them as well,” says
Sabbag. “It’s been the best source
of advertising and growing my
business that I could pay for.”
The Referral Hub is always
looking to add members and
expand its referral network so
please feel free to visit a meeting
or reach out to the group leadership to see the power of referral
marketing in action! More information can be found at bniholliston.com.

Holliston’s Craft Fair adds NEW
Food + Family Fun
by
Cathy Snyder
Holliston’s Craft Fair is an old
standard in town. Going strong
into its 38th year, Craft Fair is the
go-to event on the Sunday before
Thanksgiving. Hold on. What’s
that? Craft Fair 2015 has expanded food vendors and a huge
family fun area? Tell me more.
Come ride Thomas at Craft Fair on Sun, Nov 22 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Craft Fair’s expanded food
vendors include handcrafted
custard ice-cream to go with
Thanksgiving pie!
“We have sweets galore at this
year’s Craft Fair. There’s maple
syrup from VT and pumpkin
latte ice-cream to go with your
pie at Thanksgiving. The treats
don’t stop there. Craft Fair has
hand-filled cannolis, homemade
fudge and honey,” says Danielle Ohman, chair of Craft Fair.
“Come get your Italian fix with
extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegars.”
Over 150 artisans exhibiting handmade work will line
the halls of the Holliston High
School on Sunday, November 22
from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. A longtime
crafter of 20 years says; “The
Holliston Craft Fair is the best
in Massachusetts. Holliston still
juries crafters to make sure that
everything is handmade. Not all
fairs take the time to jury. Other
fairs have lots of things made in
China and commercial products.” Craft Fair this year still has
all your old favorites: iDazz Custom Designs, Warm Fuzzies, and
Little Beehive just to name a few.
Kids will have a blast at Craft
Fair while mom is shopping.
Thomas the trackless train will
be steaming things up around the
high school. Thomas will be a fun
fall ride under the covered wagons. Legos and crafts provided by
the Girl Scouts provide hands on
entertainment. Holliston’s local
celebrity, Pamela Pinter Parsons
will be moving and grooving with
the youngsters. What if your kid
is hungry? Craft Fair has lots of
options: pizza and sandwiches
from Bazels, hotdogs and soup by
Superette, popcorn and cupcakes
piled high at the bake table.
CRAFT FAIR + FOOD 2015
Date: Sunday, November 22
Time: 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Place: Holliston High School,
370 Hollis St
Admission: Adults $6; Seniors

With so many crafters---both
new and long-time Holliston

be there on Sunday, November
22 waiting for the doors to open

Holliston High School’s Theatre 370
to Present Into the Woods
By Tracy Alexander
Have you ever wondered
what happened to Little Red
Riding Hood, Rapunzel or Cinderella? Into the Woods, coming to Holliston High School as
a production of Theatre 370, entertains us with possibilities but
this is no Disney version.
Into the Woods, a musical
with music and lyrics by Stephen
Sondheim and book by James
Lapine, is a fractured fairy tale
which intertwines the plots of
several Brothers Grimm and
Charles Perrault fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the
characters’ wishes and quests.
The characters from “Little Red
Riding Hood,” “Jack and the
Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” and
“Cinderella” show us different
sides to their characters. When a
The musical is tied together
by the story of a baker and his
wife who have been cursed
with childlessness by the Witch
next door. Their quest to find
the special objects required to
break the spell wends its way
through the lives of all the other
fairy tale characters. This story
doesn’t stop with the “happily
ever after” but continues on to
what comes next.
This is Brandon Price’s first
production as a Director in
Holliston. Mr. Price comes to
Holliston High School from
Westwood High School where
he taught Drama and directed
their after-school drama program while the permanent, part-

time drama teacher was on a
sabbatical leave. Mr. Price holds
a Master of Arts degree from
Emerson College with a major
in Theatre Education.
Senior and Student Producer
Lanie Meyers who plays Cinderella had these thoughts on the
production, “We have so much
to learn from Mr. Price’s directing style, because it’s very different from what we’re used to.
He leaves more up to the actors
and moves through individual
scenes very quickly, but in the
end it’s getting us faster results.
The end result is going to be
very polished, and I can’t wait
to show everyone. As a student
producer, I hope the audience
fills for the sake of ticket sales,
but as an actress and cast member I hope it fills so we can share
our hard work and entertain the
community.”

Sign Up Now for Gingerbread House Decorating
December 12
Event Raises Funds for Holliston Newcomers Grants
Two years ago we kicked off
the Gingerbread House Decorating Event to much success and
raised funds directly benefitting
the Holliston Food Pantry Shelf
– almost $1,700! It was a wonderful event for all who attended,
both young and old! Last year, we
made this an annual fundraising
even, and all proceeds went to
the HNC Grant Pool for 201415 and we met our goal of ONE
HUNDRED HOUSES, so close
to $3,000 raised!
This year we want to equal
that result, if not more! This
year’s event will be held on Saturday, December 12th, 2015, and
we will again host the Gingerbread Event at the Mount Hollis
Lodge on Washington Street in
Holliston. The folks at the Lodge
continue to be our supporters
making this event happen!
Back again with her amazing
skills is Blue Ginger Pastry Chef
Deanne Steffen. She and Blue
Ginger in Wellesley continue to
be a great partner for this event
as well as Dee makes all of the
Gingerbread fresh and donates
her time to us – she is a gem and
we are so grateful to have her
every year!
We will need volunteers on
Friday, December 11th, 2015 for
setup from 6-9 p.m., and then on
the day of the event on December 12th when we will have four
seatings (setup at 9 a.m., seatings
from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) in hopes
of seeing 100 houses built and
enjoyed by all!
I want to proactively thank the
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of
Holliston who also have donated
their time to support this event the
last two years and we already have
some HHS Senior Girl Scouts
ready to give their time!
Houses will be $32 per house.
This event is open to ALL – in
or out of Newcomers, Holliston
etc. so please spread the word!
More details to follow and please
feel free to contact
us to volunteer your
time either December 11th or December 12th or for any
other questions on
this fun and great
family event. This
is Lisa’s and my 3rd

More than $2,000 Raised so Far
for Water Pipe for Kenyan Village!
A Crowdrise site, an online
website that helps people fundraise for charitable causes, has
been set up to raise funds to
build a water pipe for a village
in Kenya in great need of clean
water. So far, more than $2,000
has been raised online and from
direct donations toward the
$4,000 goal. The organizers of
the site are asking for donations
of any size: $10, $20, $25, $50,
or more would be greatly appreciated. https://www.crowdrise.
com/helpbringwatertoamaa/
fundraiser/sherryanderson2
In the small village called Ingarooj, Kenya, it is very difficult
to get water for cooking, drinking, bathing, washing clothes,
and feeding the cattle, goats and
sheep, which the people depend
on for their livelihood. During
the rainy season, the people
collect rainwater in a big vessel
and use that until it is depleted.
Then, villagers – mainly women
- hike to the closest dam, ¾ of
a mile away, with donkeys and
big barrels. They fill the barrels
and walk the water back to the
village. This water is also unclean and needs to be purified.
Unclean water causes sickness
among the people and causes
the animals to become sick and
die.
The need for water became
apparent to Sherry Anderson,
a Holliston resident of 25 years,
whose son, Kyle recently volunteered in Ingarooj with the
Maasai Youth Outreach Organization (MAYOO). Kyle
graduated from Holliston High
School in 2011. One of the
many great things that MAYOO
does is help orphan girls go to
school and live a better life.
Upon Kyle’s return to the
U.S., Sherry began communicating with Jonathan Saoyo Simel,
the founder and executive direc- Kyle Anderson, of Holliston, with residents of Ingarooj, a small village in Kenya.

About Maasai Youth Outreach
Organization (MAYOO)
MAYOO was founded in 2006 by Jonathan
Saoyo Simel and has been able to help the
poorest families and orphans who need parental care in the Maasai community. One of its
main goals is to identify young girls, usually
orphans (upper elementary and middle school
age), who are in danger of early marriage and/
or female genital mutilation (FGM). MAYOO
helps the girls by paying school fees and providing a safe house for them to live and thrive.
Part of the reason that there are so many
orphans in Kenya is that diseases such as HIV/
AIDS, cancer, malaria, typhoid and tubercu-
losis ravage the people. Young girls and boys
are sometimes left with no one to take care of
them. That is where Jonathon’s organization
steps in.
MAYOO receives funding from individuals around the world, particularly in the U.K.
and U.S., and partners with other organizations to help the entire Maasai community end
poverty by empowering them to achieve their
goals in life. To learn more about MAYOO,

to clean and safe water.
A few years ago, MAYOO
raised a portion of the cost to
build a water pipe to bring clean
water to the village. However,
they were not able to raise the
total needed to complete the
project.
The community needs
$4,000 to complete the pipeline,
and it will serve 100 families! In
addition to serving more than
1,000 people, the pipe will also
serve 4,000 goats, 3,500 sheep
and 6,500 cattle since the Maasai people buy and sell animals,

and draw milk from them as
their way of making a living. The source of the water is a
well in a secondary school 10 kilometers away from the village.
Officials there have given permission to pipe the water. The
water is clean and purified. The
pipe can be completed fairly
quickly and get water to the village in less than a month! A portion of the funds will be used for
a water storage tank.
Sherry was inspired to coordinate this fundraiser after
hearing about Kyle’s journey
and experience in Kenya, and
speaking with Jonathan at length
about the village and water
needs. Completing the water
pipe will greatly improve the
lives of these beautiful people
who endure a difficult life because they live in a poor and

“I’m so excited about that.
I’ve wanted them to be involved
for awhile,” says Marrazzo. “It
will be nice for people to see what
talent is available in Holliston.”
For the artists among the
strollers, the Holliston Library
will host crafts from 12-4 p.m.

Holiday Stroll
Holliston LEO’s to Run Lions District
33K Eyemobile During Stroll
Breakfast with Santa, and they
will assist in the Veterans’ Day
luncheon, she says. “Last year,
they adopted a Holliston family of one child and bought gifts
for that particular child,” says
Kirkpatrick, who says, again,
that the Leos help in all sorts of
ways and are open to ideas and
suggestions.
If you would like to reach out
to the Holliston Leos, this year
led by student P.J. Donnelly, you
can call Louise Kirkpatrick at
(508) 429-1995.
The Candy Cottage
Youth Volunteers Will Provide Free Eye, Ear,
Blood Pressure Screenings
The Lions 33K Eyemobile will have a presence at the
HBA Holiday Stroll this year,
but the operators may be a little
younger than you’d expect. This
time, it will be run by the Holliston Leos, according to this year’s
advisor to the Leos District Advisor, Holliston Lion Louise
Kirkpatrick.
“Essentially, they will be running it themselves,” says Kirkpatrick, explaining that the Leo
Club is “the high school version
of the Lions Club. The kids
learn how to run the station and
screen the residents. They are
able to see the people who they
are helping, and it’s more meaningful to them, because they’re
actually working with clients.”
The Leos will screen residents
for visual acuity, blood pressure,
glaucoma and hearing. Residents fill out a form, says Kirkpatrick. “If there is a concern,
these forms are read by doctors,
and if there is a need, (the person screened) will be contacted,
but information is not shared,”
she says.
Right now, the strong Holliston club touts about 60 to 70
members. “It’s a good size, and
it’s been growing quite rapidly
over the past years, which is
wonderful,” says Kirkpatrick.

Enter a
World of
Magic at
Upper Town
Hall
Magician John Henry
Will Delight at 1:45 and 4 p.m.
during Holiday Stroll
“No matter where you go in the world,
people love magic, and they can relate to
it,” says Magician John Henry, who will
present two shows at Holliston’s Upper
Town Hall on the day of the HBA Holiday Stroll, at 1:45 p.m. and at 4 p.m.
Henry says he got into magic the usual
way, by getting a magic kit for his birthday, and he loved it, gaining more than
one mentor along the way and eventually
delighting in tricking his teachers.
“I’ve been doing magic professionally
for about 25 years, before that it was an
avocation. I put my wife through college
doing magic shows and have traveled all
over the world and done magic,” says
Henry. “It’s been a wonderful avocation
and a wonderful career.”
Henry, who is a retired teacher, and has
also been a scout leader, a scout, a karate
instructor, first aid instructor, ski instructor, mountain climber, sky diver and scuba
diver, enjoys working with kids.
“I bring a lot of my life experience to
my show,” says Henry, who says he found,
when he was in the classroom, that many
kids lacked self esteem. “They were not
getting a lot of positive feedback from
other teachers and even their parents and
certainly some peers,” says Henry. “A lot
of my things I do in my magic show is
about believing in themselves. The kids
do the magic. They just have to believe
in themselves, and from that point on,
they’re doing the magic.”

All of Holliston Won America in Bloom Award
Holliston in Bloom brought
home a few special awards from
the America in Bloom National
Symposium held in Holland,
Michigan in late September.
HIB won the highly coveted
Best in Population Category
12,500 – 16,000 beating out 3
other town/cities. HIB had a
tremendous year and wishes to
acknowledge that the award was
won by the entire town, not just
the Holliston in Bloom committee! The committee collaborates
with a multitude of organizations, businesses, individuals, and
town departments to accomplish
all the work throughout the year.
HIB also received a Special
Mention award of 4 blooms for
Community Involvement; only
the top 3 of the 40 participating communities received the CI
special mention. Lastly, co-chair
Mark Ahronian was recognized
as a nominee for the national
Community Champion award
with a special plaque. Mark’s
plaque reads: “Mark exemplifies the spirit of a true community champion. He has an
innate ability to nurture not only
plants but also people. He is renowned for his dedication to his
community and an advocate for
peoples’ interests. He is the consummate community leader.”
In addition to the special awards,
HIB’s Kathy Shore was asked
to give a talk about Holliston’s
efforts in Historic Preservation
to the other convention attendees. Historic Preservation was
another criterion for which we
had received a Special Mention
award in 2014. Since our first
year of participation in 2012,
we have won Best in Population
Category twice, as well as Special
Mention awards for Community Participation, and for Historic Preservation three times.
We celebrated the Best in Population Category with the public on
Thursday, October 29 at Anthony’s on the Green Restaurant at
Pinecrest Golf Club in Holliston.

The AIB judges report was
also released last month. HIB
will be carefully reviewing the
suggestions, prioritizing, and deciding which improvements may
be implemented in 2016. In addition, we will also have beautification project(s) for next spring/
summer with the help of other
organizations, municipal departments and other volunteers. In
fall of 2017, the America in

attendees will be flying to Boston
and visiting the host town for a
day – Holliston, Massachusetts!

LIVING HEALTHY
Laser Bladeless Cataract Surgery: Facts and Myths
By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,
Milford Franklin Eye Center
Each year, U.S. News and World
Report publishes a list of the best
Eye Hospitals in America. In
2015, the 5 best rankings are
as follows: 1- Bascom Palmer
Eye Institute in Miami, 2- Wills
Eye Hospital in Philadelphia,
3- Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore, 4- Our own Mass. Eye
and Ear Infirmary in Boston, 5Stein/ Doheney Eye Institute in
LA. There are thousands of eye
centers in the Nation, and those
five were hand-picked by other
ophthalmologists for excellence
in eye care. What is one of the
common denominators between
all those state-of-the-art institutions? They ALL offer bladeless
laser cataract surgery.
We are honored to have in
Boston one of America’s top 5
Eye Hospitals, and the best Eye
Hospital in the Northeast: The
Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary is a center of excellence
training scores of new Ophthalmologists each year and participating in ground breaking
research. This fine Boston institution uses not only one but two
femtosecond bladeless lasers. In
fact, this Boston center teaches
femtosecond laser cataract surgery daily to future ophthalmologists, and advertises what it
does to the general public on the
Infirmary website: http://www.
masseyeandear.org/specialties/
ophthalmology/cataract/lasersurgery. Yet, you may read rare,
misinformed statements by some
practitioners who do not understand or even use this advanced
technology attributing false
claims to “specialists,” none of
whom practices in Boston. Don’t
allow those practitioners to take
you for a ride: The best Boston
specialists have made their voice
heard loudly and clearly: They
are already performing laser
cataract surgery.
The American Society of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) is an international, educational society with
more than 9,000 members. Its
mission is to advance the art and
science of ophthalmic surgery
and the knowledge and skills of
ophthalmic surgeons. Eric Donnenfeld, MD, the past president
of ASCRS, says the clinical
benefits of bladeless femtosecond laser cataract surgery are
fourfold: 1. The primary incision allows the surgeon to create
a uniform and consistent threeplane incision with a self-sealing
reverse side cut, which has the
potential to reduce the incidence
of endophthalmitis. (Eye infec-

tions after cataract surgery), 2.
Incisions are more accurate,
safer and reproducible, 3. Capsulotomies (Openings in the bag
hosting the cataract) are more
precise, and 4. the procedure is
safer.
There are no eyes like yours,
and there is no cataract procedure like customized bladeless
laser cataract surgery for your
eyes. Bladeless laser cataract
surgery is a major advancement
in cataract treatment, is FDA
approved and embraced by
top ophthalmologists here and
around the world. Armed with
this knowledge, you can now
separate myths from clear solid
facts.
In addition to producing precise cuts needed for surgery, the
laser used in bladeless cataract
surgery breaks up and softens
the cloudy cataract, so there is
less ultrasound needed to remove the cataract. Less ultrasound translates into less energy
used inside the eye and clearer
corneas, which in turn helps
produce better vision the first
day after the surgery. This becomes even more critical if you
have a weak cornea or a small
eye with a dense cataract.
Bladeless laser cataract surgery is not only used to perform
delicate incisions with high
precision, but it is also, more
critically, able to correct corneal astigmatism with the laser,
perform the opening needed in
the cloudy lens with reliability
and precision and use the same
laser to soften the lens and facilitate its removal. This circular opening is one of the most
challenging steps for a surgeon
to perform with his hands, and
the laser makes this part precise
and reproducible. The laser advanced bladeless precision and
ability to correct astigmatism
translates into outcomes that
increase the likelihood of seeing
well without glasses. When it
comes to cataract surgery in
2015, there are different choices
and strategies to achieve the best
outcome. Bladeless cataract sur-

Quick Weight Loss Results That Will Last A Lifetime
Paul Baldassari initially
needed some coaxing from his
wife Janice Parisi to explore
the possibility of joining New
England Fat Loss (NEFL).
He had tried several national
weight loss programs over the
past years, all with disappointing results. But Baldassari was
open to a solution. Weighing
250 pounds and entering a potentially harmful pre-diabetic
stage, he needed the key that
would help improve his overall
health. The answer came with
NEFL. Less than five months
into the program, Baldassari lost
over 54 pounds, and through
the guidance of NEFL Clinical
Director Dr. Dirk Johns, developed a healthy diet and lifestyle.
“I feel absolutely fantastic!”
Baldassari exclaimed. “It’s a
shame I got myself that bad, but
it’s a wonderful thing I found
them.”
Results came quickly for
both 64 year-old Baldassari and
56 year-old Parisi. In just 40
days, Baldassari shed 40 pounds
and his wife lost 20 pounds.
Although they have completed the formal plan, the
Ashland residents continue to
implement their improved eating habits. With New England
Weight Loss, participants are
educated not just on healthy
food choices, but also following
guidelines designed specifically
for their body type and makeup,
how to read food labels and how
to prepare delicious meals without adding calories.
“The beauty of this program
is that you can continue your
lifestyle to a point,” Baldassari
said. “They teach you simple
common sense things and encourage you every day.”
As Baldassari explained,
New England Fat Loss is not
your typical weight loss program. People want immediate
results to stay motivated and
NEFL does just that. It also does
something unlike other plans; a
guarantee of shedding 20-40
pounds in just 40 days! Their
unique process starts with a full
body scan, a body medical analysis and an information session
explaining how and why their
weight loss system is unique.
Baldassari was influenced to
join by his spouse, but future
participants should consider this
article their personal encouragement. Come with a partner or
come alone. New England Fat
Loss works for anyone looking to lose 15 pounds or 300
pounds. A personal support
system and day-to-day encouragement is waiting within the
qualified staff at NEFL.
New England Fat Loss is located at 22 South Street, Suite
204, in Hopkinton and at 188

Free Prostate Cancer Screenings by
Greater Boston Urologist
On Monday, November
2nd, Greater Boston Urology
(GBU) physician, Dr. Michael
Geffin will join Dr. Joseph
Aronovitz, a radiation oncologist affiliated with practices
such as MetroWest Medical
Center, to facilitate free prostate cancer screenings. The
screenings will be held at the
MetroWest Medical Center on
115 Lincoln Street in Framingham and will be offered to men
throughout the community, in
an effort to provide access to
lifesaving early detection tests.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 220,800
new cases of prostate cancer
will be diagnosed within the
United States in 2015. When
found early, prostate cancer is
highly curable. Factors such
as age, race, and family history contribute to the risk of
developing the disease, which
is the second leading cause of
cancer related deaths in American men. Though the disease
is serious, the American Can-
cer Society reports that there
are over 2.9 million men in the
country who are prostate cancer survivors.
“Our hope is that by offering prostate cancer screenings
at no cost to the patient, in a
convenient location, more men
will participate in the screenings. If a diagnosis is made,

doctors will have a chance to
prevent the spread and possibly cure a patient’s cancer,
which otherwise may have
gone undetected,” said Dr. Michael Geffin of Greater Boston
Urology.
GBU was founded in 2010
with the goal of uniting the
most talented urology physicians and specialists in Massachusetts, and is a leader in
urological care. The practice
is dedicated to providing its
patients and the community
with education and resources
to proactively maintain their
health.
The prostate screenings,
which are recommended for
all men age 55 to 69 by the
American Urological Association, will include a PSA blood
test and a digital rectal exam
performed by a physician. For
the convenience of participants, exams will be scheduled
after normal business hours,
between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
To participate in the screenings, men must preregister by
calling (508) 383-1260. Those
with known prostate cancer
or elevated PSA levels are not
eligible for the screening. On
November 2, patients will have
admittance to free parking and
may use the Cancer Center’s
Main Entrance. Screenings
will take place on the Lower
Level of the building.

Baker Fits In Nicely as Holliston’s Athletic Director
By Ken Hamwey
When Matt Baker was appointed to replace Craig Najarian as Holliston High’s athletic
director in late August, it was a
natural fit.
After all, the 36-year-old lives
about a mile from the school,
his four children will eventually
all attend Holliston schools, he
played in the Tri Valley League,
for the long haul and be the best I
can be at all times.’’
Baker took the A.D. reins one
week before school opened and
he passed his baptism-under-fire
test with flying colors. “I learned
on the fly and asked a lot of questions,’’ he noted. “The help I received from our principal (Nicole
Bottomley) and assistant principals (Anne Connoni and Patrick
Kelley) was fantastic. They’ve
Matt Baker stepped into the role of Athletic Director for Holliston High
School this past August. The Interim Director hopes to stick around for
awhile.
and he’s worked for two college
athletic departments — Framingham State University and
Mass. Bay Community College.
Baker, whose father (Dennis)
is athletic director at Bellingham
High, already knew many of the
TVL’s A.D.s and the officials
who assign referees. His brother,
Dennis Jr., also has TVL roots.
He played in the conference, is a
teacher in Hopkinton and is the
Hillers’ varsity softball coach.
“There’s a lot to like about
Holliston,’’ said Baker, who
signed a one-year contract as
the Panthers’ interim A.D. “The
school has a solid reputation in
academics and athletics. The kids
show sincere interest in being the
best they can in sports and studies, and I sense plenty of enthusiasm. My goal is to be at Holliston
been great resources and very
supportive. Veteran coaches also
have been great and my father is
always available if I’ve got questions about the league. It’s been a
true collaborative effort.’’
Baker already had vast knowledge of the types of duties he’d
be called on to execute. At Framingham State, where he worked
for 12 years for veteran A.D.
Tom Kelly, he directed the intramural program and was in
charge of the recreation center.
He also dealt with varsity sports
programs, monitored the equipment room and served on a variety of athletic committees.
For the last two years, Baker
was the associate A.D. at Mass.
Bay in Wellesley. Working for Bill
Raynor, who formerly was head
basketball coach at Holy Cross,
Baker was responsible for scheduling and eligibility, and he also
was an academic advisor. He also
served on many college committees.
“Tom and Bill were excellent
mentors,’’ Baker said. “They
gave me plenty of responsibility
and that prepared me for becoming an A.D.’’
Baker is quick to list his primary objectives in year one at
Holliston. “I want to support
and encourage student-athletes,
aim for increased participation
and to continue our excellence in
as many programs as possible,’’
Baker emphasized. “The key for
me is to be patient, flexible, organized, communicate effectively
and be a good listener.’’
Baker is acutely aware that
much of his time will be devoted
to hiring, budgeting, scheduling
and purchasing, but he’s also cognizant that an effective A.D. must
be visible. “I want to get to know
all the kids and get to their practices and their games,’’ he said.
“The great thing about being an
A.D. is that no day is the same.’’
During his first week, Baker
had to shift into hiring mode
when Emily Shiner, who was
about to start her first year as
cheerleading coach, resigned.
“We decided to hire last year’s
assistant, Dianne Chester,’’ Baker
said. “And, we’ll be hiring a new
baseball coach soon. When Craig
resigned, we also lost our varsity
baseball coach.’’
Speaking of baseball, Baker
was a TVL all-star as a first baseman at Ashland High where he
hit .350. He also played basketball and ran cross-country.
After graduation, the 6-foot-1,
180-pounder enrolled at Assumption where he majored
in communications. He later
earned his Master’s degree from
Framingham State in public administration.
One major change has occurred since Baker became Holliston’s A.D. When the Panthers
face Bellingham or Hopkinton,
he no longer cheers for his father
or his brother’s schools. His colors now are red and white. “I’ll
be rooting for Bellingham and
Hopkinton when Holliston isn’t
opposing them,’’ he said.
Another change Baker hopes
will happen down the road is removing the “interim’’ label from
his A.D. post. “I’m sure that situation will be revisited,’’ he said.
“I hope to be at Holliston for the
long haul, and I’m building towards that objective.’’
Matt Baker has all the qualities, attributes and experience to
be a superb athletic director.

Holliston Artist Brings
Custom Figurines to
a New Level
By J.D. O’Gara
It’s a labor of love.
Holliston resident Joe Gunning loves sports. Even back in
1989, he had the opportunity to
work as a bat boy for the Boston
Red Sox.
“They gave out these Starting Lineups sports figurines,”
says Gunning. “Years later, I
saw someone on the Internet
that painted other people’s faces
on them.”
Gunning knew he could do it
better.
“It was cool, but you could
just see it was terrible,” says Holliston resident Joe Gunning has found some success in his labor of

The business has taken off.
“I’m into the realism of the

Gunning, and his son, Jason,

Gunning buys the original
figurines from toy stores. For a
custom figurine, he works with
parents or whoever is ordering
to decide which pose to use, and
then he paints the figure white.
“Say you have a favorite picture

Milford Regional Golf Classic Raises More Than $250K
To Benefit Milford Regional Medical Center
The 26th Annual Milford Regional Golf Classic, held on August 24 at the Franklin Country
Club with 184 golfers participating, has raised $257,000 to benefit Milford Regional Medical
Center’s historic new building
project.
“We have a great community who, for the past 27 years,
has come together with tremendous enthusiasm and generosity
to support our Medical Center
through our annual golf tournament. The generous support
from all the sponsors, players,
and our friends at radio station
WRMC have helped make this
event one of the most successful
golf tournaments in the state,””
said Francis M. Saba, president
of Milford Regional Medical
Center. “The millions of dollars
raised from this event over the
years have helped our Medical
Center purchase critical equipment, develop new services and
programs and build new facilities. We are most grateful to the
community for its support and
for its recognition of the importance of a first class healthcare
system to the quality of life for all
of our residents.”
“Milford Regional’s Golf
Fundraiser Committee is comprised primarily of volunteers
from local businesses, many of
whom are long-term participants
who serve with great enthusiasm
and provide valuable continuity from year to year,” said Joyce
Gilmore, chairwoman the Golf
Fundraiser Committee.
The Golf Classic is sponsored
by more than 30 local businesses
and organizations, with major
sponsors including Oliva’s Market, Catering & Gourmet Gifts;
Waters Corp.; Christine’s Pallets;
and Milton CAT.

Claflin Hill Symphony Unveils 2015-16 Concert Season
The Claflin Hill Symphony
Orchestra is preparing to launch
its Sixteenth consecutive season
of world-class symphony concerts in The Grand Ballroom at
Milford Town Hall in November, and also the Fourth Season
of the Claflin Hill Alternatives
Chamber Music Series at the
Singh Performance Center in
the Alternatives Whitin Mill in
Northbridge this fall.
Coming off of the euphoria
of its Crystal Fifteenth Anniversary Season last year, and the
Twentieth Anniversary Season
of Family Night at the Bandstand this summer, the CHSO
staff, volunteers and musicians
have been in a steady stream
of frenzied activity throughout
the summer months as they prepare for the upcoming year of
concerts, even as they moved
the orchestra’s operations into a
more spacious suite of offices in
The Grant Building at 208 Main
Street in Downtown Milford,
and launched a new website.
The CHSO Symphony Series begins on Saturday evening, November 14, 2015 with
“Rogues, Rascals and Rapscal-
lions!” – a program featuring
music of American composer
Aaron Copland, (whose birthday is celebrated on November
14th), Richard Strauss, Mozart
and Gounod. The program also
features a solo performance with
the orchestra from its longtime
Principal Violist, Dimitar Petkov.
“For the opening concert of
our “Sweet Sixteen” season, it
was fortuitous that it fell on the
birthday of Aaron Copland,
which made it incumbent that we
perform one of his great works
that night,” said Paul Surapine,
Founding Executive & Artistic
Director of the CHSO. “One of
my favorite Copland works is the
music from the ballet, “Billy the
Kid” and that choice inspired the
rest of the program as it evolved. German composer Richard
Strauss’ exciting and adventurous orchestra tone poem, “Till
Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks”
describes the antics of a mythological “village prankster” and
Mozart’s opera “Don Giovanni”
is about the legendary, womanizing libertine, Don Juan. It’s
a program that mixes music of
three centuries and musical styles
into one evening.”
Other highlights of the
CHSO 2015-16 season include the annual Holiday Pops
concert on December 12th; a
“romantic” program, “From the
Heart” on February 6, 2016;
The Irish & Italian Summit”
on March 5, 2016; the annual
Family Symphony Matinee on
Sunday, March 20th at 3 p.m.
and the Season Finale, “American Dreamscapes” on April 30,
2016.
All concerts take place at the
Milford Town Hall, 52 Main
Street, Route 16 in Downtown
Milford. All Saturday evening
concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and
the Sunday matinee in March
begins at 3 p.m.
A full roster of concert dates
and descriptions follows and can
also be accessed at the CHSO
website.
Ticket prices range from $25
to $40 for single concert ticket
purchases, and $99 to $150 for
season tickets. Season tickets can
be purchased by calling Claflin
Hill at (508) 478-5924. Individual concert ticket purchases
can be made on line by visiting

Community Gathers to Support LGBTQ Youth
Organization’s Expanded Programming
More than 200 guests joined
OUT MetroWest at the Marriott Newton for a festive evening
celebrating the organization’s
success in providing social
and educational programs for
LGBTQ middle school and
high school youth. Congressman Joe Kennedy served as the
honorary chair for the Come
OUT MetroWest and Celebrate
event, which recognized U.S.
Senator Edward J. Markey for
his commitment to the rights of
LGBTQ individuals.
The evening was emceed by
OUT MetroWest’s Executive
Director Jack Patrick Lewis,
whose introductory remarks
highlighted the organization’s
role in teaching “youth to not
only survive within this world,
but also to actively change it
from within.” Lewis also reminded guests that attendance
at OUT MetroWest programs
has grown exponentially since its
first group was founded in 2011.
“We have gone from 32 youth at
our first meeting to having now
served 600 area teens.”
According to Lewis, the gala
met its ambitious fundraising
goals, paving the way for an
expansion of services. He explained, “In a post-marriage
equality world, there are those
who feel that the work of OUT
MetroWest is, or soon will be,
unnecessary. But for the youth
we serve, our work is just beginning. Their needs are immediate. As such, we plan to
launch an additional program
for middle school youth in the
Newton area, in order to make
our first-in-the-Commonwealth
program accessible to more
young people.” He also shared
that OUT MetroWest has expanded so quickly that the organization has brought on a new,

and Communications. Julie Bla-

How to Care For Your Granite Countertops
One of the most popular
countertop surfaces today is
granite, a natural stone. If I had
to guess, I would say that 80% of
my clients select a granite for the
countertops in their kitchen remodel or bathroom renovation—
and for good reasons! Granite is
durable, dramatically beautiful, and low maintenance—all
of which are qualities that my
clients look for in a countertop
material. But, what many people
do not realize is that low maintenance does not mean NO maintenance. Here are some tips to
properly care for your granite to
insure a lifetime of performance
and beauty from your stone. Remember, it’s always a good idea
to speak with the company that
installed your counters for more
information on protecting and
maintaining granite.
need to make sure that the label
specifies it is for granite. Sealing is
very simple. All you need to do is
put a few capfuls of the sealer on
your granite, rub it in with a clean
cloth, and let it sit for the recommended amount of time noted on
the back of the bottle. Then, simply wipe it off. It is as easy as that!
(See sealer bottle for more thorough directions.) A trick to remember to seal your granite—do it on
your birthday and “half birthday.”
While sealing your granite countertops may not be the most fun
birthday chore, it is a good way to
remember to do it!
Cleaning:
While sealing might be a once
or twice a year procedure, general cleaning should be done on a
regular basis. Dusting should be
done often to minimize scratches.
For general cleaning, it is best to
use a mild detergent with warm
water and a non-abrasive cloth.
(Anything abrasive could tarnish
the polished finish of the granite countertops.) The soap you
use for your dishes is typically
fine. However, stay away from
products that contain acids, as
they, too, could eat away at the
polished finish. Many people ask
if it is okay to use Windex. The
answer is both yes and no. The
key is you must check the label.
If the label says it is safe for granite or natural stone, then Windex
away! However, certain Windex
(and other glass cleaner) formulas
do not say “granite-safe” on the
label, so be sure to check before
you spritz!
Protecting:
Although granite is hardwearing, it is still an investment
that you should protect. Therefore, utilize coasters under drinks,
trivets or mats under dishes, and
placemats under dishes if possible. These extra protective measures will help prevent accidental
staining and scratching and help
maintain the inherent beauty of
the natural stone.
By utilizing these tips and
tricks, you will be able to enjoy
your natural granite countertops
for years and years to come.

Although granite is very hard
and durable, it still has some porous qualities to it as it is a natural

stains, it is recommended that you
seal your granite countertops every
6-12 months, although many people go years between sealing with
no issues. Natural stone sealer can
be purchased at any hardware

Reap the Benefits of a Well-insulated Home
By Scott McGillivray
Many of us know that insulation plays a key role in keeping our homes warm in the
winter and cool in the summer.
But did you know the benefits
can go well beyond achieving
basic R-value requirements?
Quality insulation can provide
a number of added benefits
that contributes to the comfort, safety and efficiency of a
home, including:
Sound absorbency — Life
is loud, but the right choice of
insulation can help reduce
noise transfer throughout your
home. Insulating between
floors and interior walls can
help create a peaceful sanctuary in areas of your home,
even when life is chaotic.
A safe indoor environment — Good indoor air
quality goes a long way toward ensuring personal com-
fort. Choosing insulation that
is water repellant and resistant
to mold, mildew, fungi, bacterial growth and rot can help
to prevent common issues
behind your walls that may
pose serious health and safety
concerns and lead to costly
repairs. Look to products that
will not off-gas or emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic
compounds).
Savings — A properly insulated building will be more
energy efficient, a benefit that
will continue to provide return
on investment long after the
insulation install is complete.
The result is reduced heating
and cooling costs, less stress
on your furnace and air conditioner (potentially leading to
a longer equipment lifespan)
and, at the end of day, more
money in your pocket.
Fire-resistance — Certain
insulations, particularly stone
wool insulation products such
as Roxul Comfortbatt and
Safe ‘n’ Sound, can help buy
valuable minutes in the event
of a fire, withstanding temperatures of up to 1,177˚C.
Non-combustible, this insulation exceeds the limits of most
other insulating materials, and
it won’t produce smoke or encourage the spread of flames.
Performance — It’s important to remember that
not all insulations are created
equal. Some insulations can
sag or contract over time,
leaving gaps that can let outdoor air in and conditioned air
out. Choosing insulation that
is dimensionally stable, durable and that offers long-term
thermal performance will ensure your home can stand up
in even the most challenging
conditions. Stone wool prod-
ucts are proven to perform
in even the most extreme
conditions, making them
ideal for use in the United
States.
Ultimately, you can purchase insulation as many
do, based on basic R-values.
But when it comes to quality, comfort, safety and efficiency, is basic really the
best choice? Quality counts
when it comes to all building materials. Always look
for products that will deliver
benefits well beyond the status quo.
