The School Building Rehabilitation Committee chairman delivered selectmen a mixed update on the new Avery School, telling them the project should cost a few million dollars less than was expected and that a tentative land-rights swap with a neighboring business has fallen through, forcing planners to move student pedestrian access a couple hundred feet further up High Street. Andy Lawlor said his group received two new budget estimates last month, from the designer and from an estimator hired by the project manager. The news there was that the Avery should benefit from one of the silver linings of the recession. One budget came in at approximately $2 million less than originally estimated; the other estimate came in at $3 million less than originally estimated, he said at the selectmens meeting last Tuesday night. The school rehabilitation committee expects to hire a construction manager at-risk by the end of May, put the project out to bid in August, and then award the contracts in September and break ground late September, early October, Lawlor said. The elementary schools design was completed last month, and Lawlor said changes have

From Page 1
of the race, Peter Reynolds called all participants to the start line. On the word go, a swarm of 4year-olds sprinted to the finish line, where their parents swooped them up into hugs. Everyone who crosses the finish line is a winner, Reynolds said to the next group of kids in the North Star Childrens Ramble, a smaller version of the much bigger race yet to be run. On the back lawn of the East Street estate, the scene was the same as participants in the 27th James Joyce Ramble hunted for their names on printouts and received their numbers. Whole Foods gave out bananas and healthy snacks, while Subaru of New England, one of the events sponsors, showed off a few of its newest models. An hour before the Ramble was to begin, a group of five Boston College students stretched out on the side lawn. Alexandra White, 24, of Harwich, said she heard about the James Joyce Ramble during a Ulysses class at BC and got her friends to join in. Its a cool way to work to celebrate the book, White said. White said she hoped to finish under an hour, but joked that she hasnt really been preparing for the 10K. I just started and thought I would wing it as I go, she laughed, no, Ive been running. White met her goal, finishing in 57 minutes, and was the 947th runner to cross the finish line. As the 11 a.m. start time neared, runners were ushered over to the start line on East Street, where Granite State Race Services had its instruments in place to register the runners times. Upon registration, every runner received a small plastic chip to attach to their sneakers. When the runners crossed the start and finish lines, the device sent a shortwave radio signal to Granite States instruments to register the runners times. Sitting on a stone wall on East Street, Westwood runner Gregory Buckley, 39, said he had eaten Mexican the night before but he was determined to run.
Gordon MacFarland of Arlington grabs a bottle of water after finishing last Sunday mornings James Joyce Ramble in Dedham.
Its like a rite of passage in Dedham, Buckley said. The former Dedham resident was the 100th runner to cross the finish line, completing the Ramble in 42:50. As roughly 1,600 Ramblers found their places on the start line, the Dedham High School Marching Band, led by outgoing conductor Joseph Brogan, prepared to accompany Dedham High student RJ Del Rosario as he sung The Star-Spangled Banner. The runners, wearing bright colored sneakers, tank tops and shorts, placed their hands over their hearts. The start was only minutes away. Brogan was invited to the stage to sound the gong and start the Ramble. As the countdown began, the front row of men had their fingers on their wrist stopwatches to keep

FOXBOROUGH Dorothy C. (Balboni) Mogan, age 87, died Saturday, April 24, 2010 surrounded by the comfort of her loving family. She was the daughter of the late Dante and Vittoria (Tessenari) Balboni. Dorothy was born on April 12, 1923 in Norwood. She married her husband Francis E. Mogan in 1947 in Norwood. Dorothy was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a Foxborough resident for the past twenty years. Beloved wife of Francis E. Mogan. Loving mother of Francis E. Mogan, Jr. and his wife Leah of Centerville, David J.

their times. With one solid swing, the mallet met the gongs drawing of James Joyce and the race began. Along the way, Ramblers were treated to actors mixed in with fans who read from six different works by James Joyce, including Ulysses, The Dead and Exiles. At the finish line, volunteers took their posts to welcome the runners. Kristen Folan, 13, of Norwood and Kari Masters, 14, of Dedham were in charge of holding the finish line tape. I think I am going to mess up, Masters said. She was instructed to let go of the tape as the runner approached, allowing him to pass through with ease. Someone shouted that they saw the course car and the girls held the tape firmly. The first runner was getting close. Coming around the bend, the yellow shirt of 22-year-old Boston University graduate student Brian Harvey could be seen, way ahead of the rest of the pack. Harvey, who lives in Allston, crossed the finish line in 30 minutes, 42 seconds. It feels good, Harvey said. This was a unique race with people all over the place reading. It was cool. Folan and Masters werent done with their volunteer duties for the day. When Maria Busienei, 24, of Charleston, West Virginia, neared the finish line the girls got to their spots. At 36 minutes, 31 seconds, Busienei was the first woman to cross the finish line. Out of breath, she plopped down on the sidewalk after crossing the finish line. Its not bad, she said between breaths. Not bad. I feel good. Amnesty International was at the Ramble collecting signatures to ask the government of
Sri Lanka to free journalist J.S. Tissainayagam. Event organizer Martin Hanely said the Ramble focuses on human rights issues. This year, as in 2009, the event aligned itself with the plight of Tissainayagam, who Hanley said was arbitrarily detained by police in March 2008 and later indicted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act for two articles he wrote for a
monthly magazine. Tissainayagam, who is Tamil, wrote articles that addressed issues Tamils, an ethnic minority, face in the South Asian island nation. Tissainayagam was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison last August, and was granted a release on bail this January while his appeal is pending, according to Hanley. At 9:30 a.m., Shanthi, a vol-
unteer collecting signatures, said roughly 80 people had signed. People are very focused today, she said. Shanthi, a native Sri Lankan who did not give her last name for security reasons, said she knows Tissainayagam has been tortured and is malnourished. She said she hopes the signatures will be enough to convince the countrys government to free him.

Parents of nine Avery School students have sent in letters saying they want to pull their child from the elementary school, choosing an option made avail-
able to them after the Avery failed to make adequate yearly progress in math for the second straight year. The students departing for Oakdale or Riverdale are mostly incoming firstgraders or new enrollees, Principal Clare Sullivan said. One student has a
sister at another school. Im calling parents to have a discussion with them to find out what their reasons are, and to talk about possibly staying, said Sullivan, who had convinced one to remain at the Avery by last Tuesday. Im trying to touch base with
everyone that sends a letter in. With the situation in flux, the principal said she didnt think she would have a definite number until right before school starts on Sept. 8.

On the second day of his Pray for Peace Walk between Boston and New York, Al Forte had one request: I would like it to stop raining now. Forte and his traveling buddy Joe Ross were drinking some coffee in Cafe Fresh Bagel and staying dry, after Forte crossed from Boston into Dedham by the Hess gas station, then made his way into Dedham Square. Touch this, Ross said, holding up a Pray 4 Peace shirt Forte just took off. It was soggy and gross. Forte showed the plastic bag wrapped around his left foot. It keeps your foot completely dry because its a plastic bag, but it looks ridiculous, he said, later sharing that he sometimes wraps lambs wool between his toes to prevent blisters. His journey began last Monday at Old North Church, where the minister gave me a blessing on Paul Reveres pew. He walked to Fenway Park Beacon was a beautiful street where he met a Red Sox representative. He had been invited to go on the field for batting practice, but decided to try and backtrack by car to go to a game another day, once the rain stopped. He said he wanted a delay of the rain. Not many people are out in the rain, and those people walking in the rain are really going some place, Forte

Providing the newest piece of drama in a Norfolk Superior Court murder case full of intrigue, Robert Moccia expected to be a key witness for the prosecution against his younger brother told a judge that he wasnt aware of his Fifth Amendment right protecting him from self-incrimination, then declined to testify. Robert Moccia, 51, was set to speak in a pretrial hearing last week about statements his brother Paul Moccia, 50, allegedly made about the murder of a Framingham man last year. Paul Moccia, of Dedham, and Daniel Bradley, 49, of Westwood have pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the case. Assistant District Attorney Robert Nelson said that in exchange for Robert Moccias testimony to the grand jury and then at the trial, that he would not be charged with being an accessory after the fact with regard to the homicide, or with conspiracy for the homicide. Before Moccia entered the courtroom last Wednesday afternoon, Judge Kenneth Fishman made clear that any testimony he gave would not be considered admissible at the trial if Moccia were unavailable for any reason then.

and they are kinda special to me. At one picnic table, childrens librarian Patricia Reilly greeted all the animals and children to the Teddy Bear Picnic and was quick to notice if something was out of place. This isnt a teddy bear, its a lion, Reilly said as she carefully tied a red ribbon to the stuffed animals paw. All the animals, no matter the species, received a ribbon. By 10:40 a.m. the East Street estate became a sea of blankets and smiling children happily munching away on teddy bearshaped cookies and sipping apple juice.
On one blanket a blond girl with red sugar sprinkles outlining her mouth, proudly held up her stuffed golden retriever. This is Fluffy, 3-year-old Meryl McCormick said, with the half-eaten, bear-shaped sugar cookie in one hand. Her sister Mable, 6, brought two animals a Christmas-themed Beanie Baby bear named Gingersnap and a Hello Kitty doll. I have a lot of stuffed animals, she thought for a moment, like 15 stuffed animals. Just before 11, Debbie and Friends got the kids dancing and clapping but only if they were happy and they knew it. Yet, in between the dancing and snacks, decisions were being made. Six-year-old Siena Oliveri-
Kunnle brought a stuffed Webkinz dog to the picnic. But, Siena said the animal didnt have a name. Her twin sister, Sarina, looked at the tiny pup that was dressed in an oversized wedding dress and veil and decided her name should be Peace, because of the colorful peace signs on the dogs fur. Siena wasnt so sure. I was thinking Rainbow, she said, but that is too long. The girls admitted that naming an animal was the hardest part of owning one. Sarina said she just usually uses her own name for all of her stuffed friends. How many does she have? Well, Sarina estimates about 100 or 35. Their cousin Isabella Antonitis, 10, said she just names her animals based on their col-
or. Her companion at the picnic was Marshmallow, a white Build-A-Bear that was wearing the wrong pants. I think they were made for a bunny, she said, tugging the jeans up.

coat of paint. They said this was a 6 Hour Canoe, said Dedham resident Michael Jameson, in the basement of the High Street church. He had a paintbrush in hand. I was 15 when I started. Hes now 18 and a freshman at Bridgewater State College. The project started three years ago, during World Visions 30 Hour Famine fundraiser, which was held at the church. Paige Durham, 16, of Dedham said that for roughly seven years, the youth group has participated annually in a fundraiser where the teenagers fast for 30 hours straight. To pass the time, she said, we need a lot to do. To fill the hours, youth adviser Adrienne Albani reached out to the church community for activity suggestions. This is where Medfield resident, church member and boat builder Bob Costello stepped in. Bob is just a member of the church who happens to be an outdoorsmen, Albani said. He said to me, I have a great idea. Well build a boat. On Dec. 3, 2008, using the 6 Hour Canoe design, the
teens started. They bought the book, studied the plans and constructed paper models. Costello said before every boat-building meeting, the teens had to build a paper 6 Hour Canoe to keep their focus and to remind them of the task at hand. When we first started this, we basically didnt care about anything or anyone, said Lily Girard, 17, of Quincy. We were 13. We were in middle school. So, we were like, OK, whatever, Ill build a boat, Durham said. But after a while, the fact that we were actually able to actually do this, brought us closer. To fund the undertaking, Costello hit the streets of Medfield with a flier, asking for returnables to recycle for the five cents. So a mere 8,000 bottles and cans later you get one of these, he said gesturing to the green canoe. There has been wonderful participation, first of all from these kids. They are really the whole backbone of this project. Then from people in Medfield and the people from the church. As the project grew and word spread, the help was always there, Costello said. The wood is 103-year-old, rock-solid, recycled, old-

growth yellow pine from a factory in Providence, Costello said. One hour a month for three years, the group learned every aspect of building a canoe. Yet the canoe lesson goes deeper. When you think about Jesus and the Disciples, they were out on the water all the time, Costello said. He said Christians are called to share your experiences, strength
and hope with other people. That is what weve actually done by going to the missions. Over the past three years, the youth group has visited and served meals at the Boston Rescue Mission, the Shattuck Shelter and the Hopefound Womens House. We will go and feed them dinner, Girard said. They will sit there and talk to you about everything. It is cool because most places, you

cant just go and have someone tell you their whole life story and they do. They know we can help them. Adrienne Albanis son, 18year-old John Albani, a freshman at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, said he coordinates volunteer programs on his campus using what hes learned in youth group. It is stories like this that make Adrienne Albani proud. She said working in the shelters builds character. It develops compassion in the kids, to realize that not everyone else has what you have, she said. For her, the boat represents a key lesson of faith. We decided that the kids
were going to be fishers of men instead of fishermen, and spread the good news around by doing service and acts of selflessness, she said. The canoe, handmade by John Albani, Paige Durham, Sarah Feeney, Lily Girard, Michael Jameson and Anthony Primavera will be raffled off at the Dedham Square Holiday Stroll on Friday, Dec. 2, for $1 a ticket. Tickets will be sold in front of the Dedham Community Theatre on High Street, where visitors can also see the finished canoe. Proceeds will benefit one of the missions the youth group has worked with. Andrea Salisbury can be reached at asalisbury@ wickedlocal.com.

For the rest of the month and a bit into the new year, the main branch of the Dedham Public Library will remain closed on Sundays. But Library Director Patricia Lambert told the Board of Library Trustees on Monday night that she will work with the help of volunteers on Sundays. All she needs is their approval. People here know I worked every Sunday, the last fiscal year, Lambert, said at the monthly trustees meeting on Dec. 13 at the Endicott branch. Ive spoken with the Friends (of the Dedham Public Library) and with their help I am will-

Norfolk County District Attorneys Office spokesman David Traub said on Dec. 14 that Deirdre Spada, 26, was still alive, and that the investigation continues into the shootings that took place at the Spada home, 2 Carmichael Circle, during the early-morning hours of Dec. 7. William Spada, 53, killed his wife and shot his daughter before shooting himself, authorities said last week, relying on the account of Deirdre Spadas 27-year-old boyfriend, who was home at the time and called for help.

BOSTON On the first Saturday in December, Nancy Smith of Needham stood in front of a conveyor belt at the Greater Boston Food Bank, sorting four categories of items: protein, breakfast food, pet food and cleaning agents.
Sounds simple but Smith had peered far more than just a few feet down the line as she planned her return to the Food Bank. I actually signed up in July of 09 for this date, she said, and brought along a group of eight friends and family, including her mom.

ing to open the main library every single Sunday 1 to 5 on my own time again. I am willing to do that again. This announcement comes after a Dec. 7 letter posted on the librarys website from Lambert announcing that because the library has exhausted its funds, Dec. 12 was the last Sunday open for the fiscal year. In an interview on Thursday, Dec. 9, Lambert explained that she has about $4,000 left to pay for snow overtime paying custodians to clear the walkways around the two buildings and salary overtime for this fiscal year. At some point the money runs out, she said. And the money that I have left I need to save for snow overtime. Lambert emphasized at the trustees meeting on Dec. 13, that her offer to work on Sundays is a management decision to keep the library open and does not fall under the union contract. Concern was
raised about the possible violation of the custodial contract. Trustee Mike Chalifoux said because volunteers would work Sundays, he doesnt believe there would be a violation of the custodial contract. We are not talking about anyone being paid because there isnt any money, he said. It may be not unfair, but I dont know. Town Administrator William Keegan agreed and added that Lamberts current offer is different than the previous situation, where librarians were working and the custodial staff wasnt. This is a little different scenario and I dont think any of us know the correct answer at this point, Keegan said. The board decided to seek legal counsel before making a decision. If everything goes according to plan, Jan. 23 is the first Sunday the library would be open. Keegan said that the library has a budget of $940,170 for fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2009 the total library budget was
$933,399. Working with the budget they thought they had, Chalifoux said the board voted to open for 25 Sundays, hire three pages, which total roughly $21,000, and provide $3,000 in overtime. He said they also hired a part-time page. The total cost was just under $40,000, he explained. Chalifoux said they initially estimated the budget line item as $36,000 and we said $40,000. We cant add or subtract properly. Im sorry. Thats the honest truth. He also admitted that the board was under the assumption that funds could be moved around and that they didnt factor in the cost of having Sundays open. This is one of the reasons why we went back to see where did we make a mistake, he said. And the mistake is we used an estimated number (that didnt count for pay raises) We spent more than we had. We made a mistake. The trustees have requested more money to cover Sundays and overtime. The Finance Committee plans to meet Wednesday, Dec. 15, at 6:30 to hear the librarys request.
Policy making process
WANTED
25 PEOPLE WHO
Candidates will be selected by
Trustees agreed Monday on a plan to craft a policy to give guidance to the director on when to close the library when staffing becomes an issue. Lambert has explained that two full-time librarians must be at the Endicott branch and three at the main library during open hours for the Dedham Public Library to meet the terms of its union contract. Keeping the library open is objective number one, trustee Joe DAmico argued. The board then agreed on three steps the director should follow if the problem of staffing arises: The director should first, move staff around, at her discretion, to keep the library open. Then she has the option to offer overtime to bring an employee in. The last resort would be to close the library. This decision followed a heated exchange between residents and members of the board regarding the initial, unapproved, version of this policy listed in the November minutes. The line read: Ms. Lambert was directed to develop the staffing schedule such that all personnel would be assigned to their respective work areas. Trustee chairman Robert Desmond questioned the part: all personnel would be assigned to their respective work areas. I just think we are making it even harder now on the staff, or making it easier to go below minimum staffing, Desmond said and Chalifoux quickly answered, We were told that,
that would not occur. We were told that the staff would step up. One resident asked if there was a staff shortage at the Endicott branch, and they needed to shift someone from the main library, could that person be moved from tech services to cover the circulation desk at the Endicott branch. Circulation would be the only one that could come down here (to the branch library), Chalifoux quickly answered. From the audience, several librarians could be heard disagreeing with Chalifouxs assumption. If we needed someone, instead of going into overtime, then why cant we?, trustee Rebecca Peluso asked Chalifoux about shifting staff from different departments. He said he was looking at the situation from a business perspective and argued that when someone is paid to do a specific job, then the employee should do that specific job. He used tech services as an example because they are one of the people hiding in the back and you never see them. But they are ordering books and repairing books. They need to do their job and they are being pulled out of their job (to cover somewhere else), he argued. This is what we talked about beforehand, that we were stretched too thin and we needed to cut back on the hours the staff said they would stand up and we wouldnt have that problem. The agreement on that is the jobs need to get done. Peluso argued that if the library closes because it is below minimum staffing, then no one can do their job. No, Chalifoux retorted, the agreement was that they would step up, so we would not close. I understand, Peluso interrupted. But if we were in a bind and you have to think out of the box, then you will have to do that (shift between jobs). At his first board meeting, newly appointed trustee Brad Bauer questioned the idea of even offering overtime this fiscal year, because there isnt any in the budget and encouraged the board to offer the director flexibility in staffing. The director knows what the hours of the library are, and it is her job to make sure that both those libraries are open as well as she can, Bauer said. Ultimately, the board agreed to give the director the flexibility to move staff as she sees fit, to keep the libraries open. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 11, at 7 p.m. at the main library on Church Street.

ITS ALL IN THE CARDS

By Andrea Salisbury
STAFF WRITER
In one hand she holds a deck of tarot cards, with the other she gently touches the cards already spread out on the table as she reads their energy. The caller, who identifies herself at Marion, said she wants a general reading, nothing in particular, I just want to know when my life is going to change. Jenny, a psychic from Regina Russells Tea Room in Quincy, asks if the caller has been having trouble sleeping and then assures her that there is going to be an end to the stress it is making you sick. By the end of the summer, Jenny says, the stress will be over. Satisfied, the caller hangs up and the first episode of Dedham TVs Psychic Vision, is off to a great start. In fact, after the hour-long live show, program director Justin Cowley said the phone didnt stop ringing. We got tons of calls, he says. We were turning people away. Dedham resident Tina Antonuccio hosts Psychic Vision which features Jenny, who has

been reading cards for six years. Its first live episode aired on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. and executive director Donna Greer said it would return in December. Dedham High School volunteers at the station Zack McCann, Lisa McMurtry and Katherine Berry ran the cameras and control room and even decorated the set to create a supernatural feel. During the show, Jenny says she first encountered the spiritual world in a vision when she
was young. When my grandfather passed away, she explains to Antonuccio, he came to me in the middle of the night (and wanted to play). Then the next day, she says, she awoke to discover he grandfather had died the night before. She was around 6 years old. Then, a few years back, she was trained in card reading and started working at Regina Russells Tea Room, where she holds hours on Thursdays. But

I started Lets Decorate because I LOVE decorating. I found myself decorating from a very young age, painting desks and watching shows, and instead of noticing the characters, I would be looking at the furniture in the back and the accessories! I became a stay-at-home mother after working as a Radiologic technologist for years and found myself giving advice for my coworkers and friends when they were renovating or decorating. They were the beginning!

POLL
Every year, there is a debate among some people as to whether towns and schools should skip using the word Christmas and replace it with holiday. The debate also includes fights over whether towns should be allowed to have nativity scenes on their commons and whether schools can play Christmas songs during winter concerts. And should there be Christmas trees or holiday trees? This weeks poll asks, Should towns have more Merry Christmas and less Happy Holidays?
I find items at yard sales, estate sales, consignment stores, good will, or on the side of the road. If it is a good quality piece, I put it in the truck and take it home!

The Dedham Mall Sears reopened Wednesday morning after it was forced to close the first two days of this week so crews could clear snow from its roof, using cranes to lift the potentially dangerous snow over an 8-foot-high decorative parapet. The job, I think, is complete and were just waiting for the all-clears from the town, mall spokeswoman Shel-
ley Lord said early Wednesday afternoon. Three Dedham Mall stores Toys R Us, T.J. Maxx, and DSW were still waiting to reopen at

Jake Santamaria says he has had many mentors during his 35-year career in the Dedham public schools, but his biggest fan and biggest critic has always been his father. A retired Boston principal, his father led schools for about 18 years in some difficult situations, Santamaria says. And I have always looked toward him for guidance, for advice, and I just always remember as a kid seeing how he ran a building, his relationship with his staff and so forth and to this day, (his) first question (is) Hows school going? That routine, among others, will probably change later this year, as Santamaria retires on June 30 after three years as the principal of Dedham High School. Aside from a short stint in Westwood as a substitute teacher in 1976-1977, Santamaria has spent his whole career in Dedham as a health and physical education

The proposal was great, the 31-year-old graphic designer smiled, paused and picked up 9month-old Vincent. I had been thinking about it for a while. Especially after we bought the house. Ashley (Ingemi) Sarro, a 26year-old teachers aide at Oakdale School, was quick to fill in the details. The couple officially started to date in 2005 and bought the house in February of 2008. There was a lot of renovation work to be done to the house, so they didnt move in right away. In fact, Ashley said, they moved in only a few months before the wedding. In that time frame when we had the house in 2008, Chris said, that was when I proposed to her. Ashley stopped him, Do you remember the date? I dont remember the date, he replied, I want to say it was in March. No, May. May, he shrugged and put Vincent down on the floor, who decided to find a monkey to play with. Close enough.

Little League coach finds love online

Dedham Youth Baseball coach Dan Maher has a pretty cool story on how he met his wife Nicole. She works for FableVision Learning. Heres the tale in his words: We actually met using Match.com. Despite all of these possible search parameters (on the online dating site), the most common and practical search was geographical (based on a radius of where you live). That was exactly what I had done. I searched for matches within 10 miles of Dedham and found Nicole (OBrien). Her profile said that she lived in Newton. She, in fact, did not live in Newton, but all the way down in Wareham. So, our entire relationship is built on a lie. She worked in Newton. Her story is that most of her social life was up in this area, so thats where she wanted her search radius. Our first date was at Joes American Bar & Grill on Rte. 1 in January of 2005. We continued to date and continued to go out in Dedham, frequenting hot spots like Kiku Yama, Deli After Dark, Isabellas and

I always found that there was no substitute for a face-to-face meeting. Technology and online searches can be great, but you cant really get to know someone through e-mail. With Nicole, we contacted one another through Match.com, then we phoned each other, then we met for our first date. We didnt mess around too much with back and forth e-mails. I think thats the best way to make an online dating site really work for you.

Ashley said she would be over with groceries to keep in the house while he worked. Chris had the ring in his pocket with an idea of what to do but nothing final. It couldnt have been more perfect (timing), he said, because she came over and she was in the worst mood. I was miserable, Ashley agreed as Vincent found a bright white toy that made noise when you hit it. She was (angry) at everybody and everything, he said and Ashley just smiled in agreement. It was one of those things she just came through the house, she was like a tornado. Chris paused and looked at his son who moved from the toy to his feet. He leaned down until their noses touched. And to his son he said, Yes she did, your mother was very upset and I still to this day do not know why. As Ashley came into the kitchen with the groceries, Chris said he could tell right away that she was very upset. She had her back to him putting away food. I said, I think I have something here that is going to make you happy, he recalled. So I got

Yet because of the age difference they were just friends. But, Ashley revealed that in her senior year time capsule she did write a note proclaiming she would marry Chris. It is true, he said, I saw it. The two started dating when Ashley turned 20. We finally said, OK I am older now, there is no problem, she recalled. So we slowly started to date and months into it I was like, we should get married. From the hallway Chris asked, Wait, how long into it? OK, a few weeks maybe, she said. No, two weeks you were like we should get married, he said. I dont regret any of my actions, though, she paused. Neither do I, Chris smiled at his wife, baby in his arms. Theyve all turned out well.

Surprise your loved one with this chocolate treat

My husband isnt big on Valentines Day. Oh, sure, he will stop off on his way home and buy a bouquet of overpriced flowers, but just because he doesnt want to risk my pouting. Even so, I love Feb. 14. I love any holiday that gives me an excuse to eat chocolate and even better, an excuse to make chocolates. Most people have something of a fear of confections. Not of eating them, of course, since were all more than happy to do that. No, its making candies and chocolates that terrify even the most capable of cooks. But I want to reassure you that the art of making bon bons is not so complicated. Some of the more beautiful, delicate and traditional confections do take practice. However, while cherry cordials and raspberry creams might be a bit more effort than youve got time for, there is no reason you cant impress your sweetie with some fantastic treats in time for Valentines Day. These goat cheese truffles are so quick and easy that you can make them in less time than it takes to drive to the store for a heart-shaped box of stale chocolate. While traditional truffles are formed of a ganache made with

chocolate, cream, and sometimes butter, the goat cheese in these mock truffles adds a light tanginess and also increases the ease of molding. Of course, you dont have to tell anyone how easy these truffles are to make. In fact, I suggest that you imply that they required hours of effort. I will certainly be letting my husband think I slaved over these treats. It might just get me a bigger bouquet this year!

Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted (or melt over a double boiler, stirring continuously). Add the chocolate to the goat cheese one spoonful at a time, stirring to incorporate until very smooth. Use the back of a spoon to work the chocolate into the goat cheese. Mix the rum into the chocolate mixture. Chill for one hour. Scoop the mixture into balls, using a spoon or melon baller. Roll in your palms to form a smooth ball. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Spread the coconut in a small dish. Coat each truffle with a small amount on melted chocolate. The best way to do this is by dipping a large spoon in chocolate and rolling a truffle in the spoon. Quickly transfer each coated truffle to the coconut and roll to coat. Chill 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before serving, * You can substitute 1 teaspoon coconut extract for the rum if you prefer

Make your flowers last longer

Dedham Floral Shoppe owner Ann Praught says it is easy to make your Valentines Day arrangement last.
Tip 1- Remember, roses are living things. Praught says roses need cool temperatures and cool water. The cooler your home, the longer the flowers will last. Tip 2 - Dont keep it on the TV. The television set generates heat and that can kill the flowers, she says. Tip 3 Thin the water. Add sugar, aspirin, or even a bit of 7up to the water to thin it. The water needs to travel up the stem. Tip 4- Change the water every three days. Dont let the water get mucky. Make sure to change it with cool not cold water. Cold water will shock the flowers.
FLOWER
From Page 1
For a florist, the best day for Feb. 14 to fall is on Tuesday, a Wednesday or on a Thursday, she said. In a good year, Praught said she sells roughly 700 arrangements for Valentines Day, and with roughly 10 delivery drivers, the shop typically makes special deliveries to downtown Boston. She said in the past, her delivery people were required to wear tuxedos to add to the arrangement, but with over 30 years in the business, shes come to alter some of her business practices. But one thing hasnt changed, Praught said, the personal service. Lilies mix with roses to create a scent of spring inside the Dedham Floral Shoppe on a day when Praughts delivery man is bundled up for winter. And thats another problem with Valentines Day, Praught says - its always in the winter. Perhaps the worst sale season she can remember fell only a few months after the Dedham shop opened. Praught had previously worked at a Stoughton flower shop, but after a little pushing from her father, she decided, at 21, to open a shop in Ded-
ham Square. And at the time it made sense, Praught said, because she lived in Dedham. But Old Man Winter had a different plan. That year, roughly 28 inches of snow coated New England in what would be remembered as the Blizzard of 78, or for a florist, the worst Valentines Day she can remember. Oh, it was awful, it was a disaster, she said, There was so much snow you couldnt do anything. It was unbelievable. Praught was stuck in Stoughton because the highway was closed. There werent any planes coming in, so there wasnt any deliveries, she said. When we finally got the flowers, you couldnt deliver them because you couldnt see peoples houses There were people out, but it was just a nightmare. Despite the frigid temperatures and snow, Praught said there are the Valentines Day stories filled with dozens of roses, romance and a little bit of weird. (One year) we delivered an engagement ring tied onto a rose. That was exciting. It was hanging off of a rose, Praught said, reaching for a long stem rose in a vase next to her. She said yes. Praught said she has one
regular customer who likes to think a little outside of the box with his arrangements. We do have one customer who likes the weirdest thing we could possibly make she said, pausing. I mean weird. Most recently he asked for a birdhouse on a sick. Praught gestured to the size of the project, holding her hands above her head. An actual birdhouse on a stick she said. He comes back all the time. We have to think of something thats really weird. But it is the big arrangements, with the singing Mylar balloons, brown teddy bears and mixed flowers that make Feb. 14 special, Praught said, and there are ways to personalize your gift. She suggests bringing in your own vase; not only does it cut down on the cost, but youll also know it will fit the space. In the end, you have to know your clients, Praught said. We do more flowers in cut glass than we do in baskets or in containers now, she said And its easy to take care of them. While roses are the Valentines Day flower of choice, Praught said stargazer lilies are a close second and when mixed with roses can make for a nice arrangement. The average arrangement at Ded-
ham Floral Shoppe is anywhere from $35 to $45 and with over 30 years of experience, Praught says she can help with the card. I hate it when they say Happy Valentines Day, Love Jack, she said. They should say something more involved. Dedham Transcript editor Andrea Salisbury can be reached at asalisbu@cnc.com or 781-433-8322.

n weekdays it looks like a homey, Americana shop with rows of jams and empty baskets just waiting for baked goods. Then Sunday rolls around and the Dedham Square Country Store is packed with shoppers, warm bread, fresh seafood, cheese and con-
versation. The 23-year-old proprietor, Greg Agnew, said there were times he never thought it would make it through the first year. Luckily it did and on Sunday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. the High Street shop will hold its anniversary party. Agnew recently talked to the Dedham Transcript about the first year in Dedham Square and his future plans.

The Dedham-Westwood Water District has just raised its rates, with the average households water bill increasing $61 per year. Two of the three main drivers behind the increase had to do with costs, according to the Water District. The third concerned a drop in revenue due to increased water conservation. The amount of water people consume has been steadily declining over the past 15 years, as they conserve more from one year to the next, said Eileen Commane, the executive director of the Dedham-Westwood Water District. This is not unique to Dedham and Westwood, she said. It is absolutely the trend in Massachusetts. The state has set a goal of 65 gallons of water consumption per person per day. In this district, every man, woman and child used an average of 58 gallons per day in 2009, and 57 gallons per day in 2008, or in the same ballpark, Commane said.

think you would make to this point? : I honestly thought at some points during the last year that we would have never made it to year one. The store is a constant work-inprogress, with so many hours each week put into planning and implementation of new products, store design, and functionality. There were some moments over the past year where I would sit at my desk and wonder if we could survive another week with the budget we had, or the products we were going to offer the following Sunday at the market. I still wonder how we made it this far, but its important to remember that we continue to need the communities unwavering support if were going to succeed and make it to year two. We have a phenomenal following in the town of Dedham, and our customers are the reason weve been in business this long.
pointment to look at the open space at 626 High St. back in October of 2009, thinking wed never be able to afford it. We were hoping to get just a simple winter farmers market-style business up and running to support the following of the summer farmers market, co-created by our friend Adina Astor. As we moved farther along through November, and into the months leading up to now, we realized the town needed more than a farmers market-style outfit, they needed organic, fresh, allnatural produce and other products year round. They needed a place that they could shop, knowing where the ingredients came from, and knowing it was truly all locally-produced. The landlords (The Odd Fellows), my father, and I all worked out a plan that would allow us to survive, and were grateful to Odd Fellows and the community for this wonderful opportunity. My motivation in keeping the market open was knowing that I was filling a need for local, organic, allnatural and fresh products, in a world that offers mostly processed, pesticide-laden foods.

It is good that people are conserving, but one consequence of less water use is that the billing related to that water use goes down, she said. The higher rates will help offset the adverse revenue impact from saving water in households and businesses, the Water District said as it announced
the increase, following a 5-0 vote by the Dedham-Westwood Water District Commission on Tuesday, Jan. 25. The new rates took effect on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The average household, which uses about 65,000 gallons of water per year, will see its water bill increase from $394 to $455 annually which works out to an additional $15 per quarterly bill, or $0.17 per day. The last price hike in March
2009 was more modest, resulting in an increase of $6 or $8 a year for the average residential customer, Commane said. The district said the new increase was also prompted by higher operating costs including labor, electricity and health care, and $3 million of investments it made in replacement water mains, service lines, meters, and other water works equipment in 2009 and 2010.

Water rate analysis and adjustments are periodically necessary for the continued delivery of high-quality drinking water, which is subject to increasingly stringent regulations and standards, Commane said. Our public water supply system is not static. It requires ongoing maintenance and replacement of the infrastructure to stay reliable. Steven Mammone of Dedham, the chairman of the Water District Commission, could not be reached for comment. The Water Districts 2011 operating budget is $8.3 million. Commane said the 65-gallons average daily consumption goal is a number that will come up certainly in any permits that we need from the DEP, or Department of Environmental Protection. The Water District is currently applying to the DEP for a permit renewal for the Neponset River watershed, for example. Fortunately were below the 65 gallons per person. But if we werent, we would have to implement measures to get there, she said. Further explaining its billing changes, the district said it is raising the first and lowest block rate which most residential customers use from $4.09 to $4.17 per hundred cubic feet (or 750 gallons of water). It is also lowering the threshold for the second-rate block or tier from 51 to 42 CCF per quarter. The rate structure is geared to reduce residential lawn irrigation. The prices for the second- and third-rate blocks are much higher, at $6.77 and $8.77 per CCF, but are not changing. The district said it is also putting in place a 2 percent increase for all other meter sizes and non-residential consumption including fire hydrants and fire sprinkler service connections. Finally, the minimum water rate for Dedham and Westwood homes, which has remained at $29.61 per quarter since 2001, will go up to $35.52 per quarter. The threshold for the minimum has also been lowered, from 5 to 3 CCF, or from 3,750 to 2,250 gallons of water. At the same time, the Water District said it plans to introduce a new, low-income rate, though that is still in the works. Were going to (look at) some of the low-income rates that are out there (in other cities and towns), and try to adopt one that seems to have the best features. But in terms of what it would cost, the goal is going to be to get it so that the low-income rate is probably below the old minimal rate of $29.61, Commane said. We just thought it would be an appropriate time, since we are increasing the minimum rate, to offer the low-income rate as kind of a safety net for those for whom this rate increase would really have a more serious impact on.

Feeding stomach and soul through Meals on Wheels

By Andrea Salisbury
STAFF WRITER
Averaging 600 volunteers for 12 communities, HESSCO spokeswoman Mary Raczka said the Sharon-based senior service organization said it is always looking for more hands - especially with its Meals on Wheels program. And, Raczka said, HESSCO works with the schedule of the volunteers.
What is Meals on Wheels: Through HESSCO eligible seniors are home-delivered a hot meal five days a week. Towns HESSCO covers: Canton, Dedham, Foxborough, Medfield, Millis, Norfolk, Norwood, Plainville, Sharon, Walpole, Westwood and Wrentham.
What is the role of the volunteer: A volunteer picks up meals at a congregate meals site and receives its route. Raczka said most towns HESSCO covers have its own meals site and the route rarely changes for the volunteers. (Basically volunteers) pick up the food item and then go off and do their route, she said. (Once they are done, volunteers) return the bags and alert the meals site manager if there were any changes. Get started: Interested volunteers can visit www.hessco.org and download a volunteer form. All volunteers have to go through a CORI check before they can begin. Why volunteer?: We here at HESSCO have a saying: We are not only feeing the stomach we feed the soul, Raczka said and added that for many of the se-
niors, the meal delivery is the only human contact they have during the week. For us at HESSCO it is a safety check. Volunteers are asked to report back to HESSCO any irregularities. Senior in need?: To sign up to receive Meals on Wheels, call HESSCO Elder Services at 781-784-4944. There is no cost for the meal, but a $2.50 donation per meal is suggested, according to its website. Local congregate sites: Dedham: Community Center on ONeil Drive, 781784-4944. Medfield: Council on Aging, 1 Icehouse Road, 508-359-3665 ext. 3. Sharon: Stony Brook Housing Hixon Farm Road, 781-784-9000. Walpole: Town Hall (Rear) Stone & School Street, 508-668-3423. Westwood: Drop-In Center, 60 Nahatan St. 781-329-6514.

Man faces driving charges

DEDHAM Police said they arrested Roger Richardson, 45, of 5 Morse St. in Norwood, on a slew of driving charges after he sped away from a police cruiser at 40 to 50 miles per hour on Tuesday, Dec. 21. Sgt. Michael Feeley was watching traffic on Sprague Street at 2:50 p.m. when an offduty Boston police officer pulled up alongside his cruiser and asked him to stop a red and white Ford pickup truck, Lt. Robert Nedder said. As Feeley pulled up near the truck, it sped up and turned onto Etna Road, he said. The Early Childhood Education Center is located at that intersection, and car and pedestrian traffic was heavy as Feeley saw the truck go down the road at up to 50 mph before he lost sight of it, Nedder added. Next, the Boston officer reported that he tried to stop the truck in Hyde Park, but the driver refused to pull over, Nedder said. But he gave Feeley some possible plate numbers, one of which came back to a red Ford pickup truck out of Norwood, Nedder noted. A dispatcher then was called by a woman on Crane Street, at the end of Etna Road, who said that she was driving when she was almost hit by a man driving a red and white pickup, Nedder said. The woman said the truck then pulled into her driveway, and was now leaving her neighbors driveway and heading toward Savin Street, he added. That is where Officer Paul Cady stopped the 1997 Ford F250 super cab pickup truck, and Sgt. Feeley arrived on the scene and spoke with the driver, who was unable to produce a drivers license, Nedder said. The man, Richardson, said he
was just plowing a few driveways, and told police, Come on, give me a break, its Christmas, according to Nedder. But Feeley could smell alcohol on the breath of Richardson, who was unsteady on his feet, and he arrested Richardson after he failed field sobriety tests, Nedder said. He was charged with refusing to stop for a police officer, driving with a license revoked for drunk driving, fifth-offense drunk driving, drunk driving while suspended for drunk driving, and driving negligently, Nedder said. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court Dec. 24, and returned to court for a pretrial hearing Jan. 21, Nedder added.
Police: Teen led cops on chase

DEDHAM Police said they arrested a 17-year-old Dorchester driver on five charges after he smashed his way out of a police blockade at Rudys Gulf Express, then led police on a late-night chase through Dedham Square and beyond. Justin Liburd, of 24 Mora St. Apt. 1 in Dorchester, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a motor vehicle), receiving a stolen motor vehicle, driving without a license, reckless driving, and failure to stop for police on Sunday, Dec. 26, Lt. Robert Nedder said. Liburd pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court Dec. 27, and returned to court for a pretrial hearing Jan. 25, he added. At 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 26, Officer John Hennessey was patrolling near the gas station when he saw an unoccupied dark Honda Accord parked at a pump and discovered that it was a stolen car from Boston, Nedder said. Hennessey then saw a male
leave Rudys convenience store and begin to pump gas into the car before getting in. Hennessey and Officer Timothy Miranda surrounded the brown 1998 Honda with their cars, and Liburd accelerated toward Mirandas cruiser, striking its front side, and pushing it about 15 feet, Nedder said. After striking the cruiser, the vehicle then took a left out of the parking lot, traveling a short distance the wrong way in the southbound lane of Providence Highway, before pulling a hard left onto Eastern Avenue, jumping over the traffic island right by the gas station, and continuing on toward High Street, Nedder said. The Honda went onto a sidewalk while entering High Street before getting back on to the street itself, said Nedder, who added that no civilian cars passed in the opposite direction as the chase took place. The Honda headed on High Street to Common Street, which turned into West Street, and then Dedham Avenue in Needham. The Honda began to slow down, so Miranda pulled up beside it, but then Liburd swerved his car and hit Mirandas cruiser again, before coming to a full stop, Nedder said. He was taken out of the car and placed in handcuffs, Nedder added.
level, Lt. Robert Nedder said. He saw the iPhone in another car near his car and believed it was his, telling police about it, Nedder said. Starting at about 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 29, officers Timothy Miranda and Ryan McCarthy waited for the suspect in the garage, and at about 1:20 they saw a man get into the car in question, Nedder said. The man, Enoch, said he found the expensive phone in a snow bank and just put it into his car for safekeeping, according to Nedder. When police asked Enoch why he did not give the phone to security or to a detail officer, Enoch said he did not know there was any security around, and he was arrested, Nedder said. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court Dec. 29, and is due back there for a pretrial hearing Feb. 7, Nedder said.

Q&A WITH CARTOONISTS BRENDAN HAYES AND DAN FRANCH
Do you remember your Table Manners?

Brendan Hayes and Dan Franch met in Morocco in 1994, while volunteering with the Peace Corps. During that time, Hayes, a Dedham resident, developed his first singlepanel comic Camel Toe, which was printed in the Peace Corps newsletter. While Hayes crafted the monthly comic, he bounced ideas off of Franch and this relationship has continued. Dan is an idea guy and gifted writer, so weve worked on some childrens book ideas, Hayes said. Writing is his true craft. He spends his free time writing poetry, song lyrics and childrens stories. Since leaving the Peace Corps in 1996, the two have managed to stay in contact. Since then, we have seen each other sporadically and in random places Chicago, Boston, Italy, Lake Placid, Franch said. But we stay in contact regularly via e-mail, our lives paralleling each others in some random, cosmic way. Even though the two are on different continents they regularly collaborate on the Dedham Transcripts newest cartoon Table Manners. Whats your backQ::ground,I havean artist? as Hayes: no Atraining. I startedformal drawing comic characters while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco. I sent homemade X-Mas cards to my family and Ive been making holiday cards ever since. Franch: If you mean visual arts, I have no background or inclinations in that area. I write poetry, childrens stories and song lyrics. All three are hobbies, not an active pursuit.

From more programming for adults and children to a multimedia room to just having more space, 30 Dedham residents came prepared with ideas on how to create a five-star library system in Dedham. Labeling Monday nights gathering as a circle of friends who care about the libraries, Selectman Paul Reynolds and Dedham Library Innovation Team (D-LIT) member facilitated the public brainstorming session at the Endicott Estate on East Street. It is not a static thing and we need everybodys talents and energy to try and figure out what is the next step, he said. What does a library system look like in 2020, 2050? In 100 years from now? To a crowd of librarians and residents, Reynolds pointed to a number of neighboring towns that in the past five years have built onto their libraries or even worked to reopen closed branches. The closest example is the main branch of the Westwood Public Library, which is building a new facility on High Street. The gathering on Monday, Jan. 10, was organized by the grassroots group D-LIT. Its
Dedham Public Library on Church Street
mission is to create best-inclass, state-of-the-art libraries in Dedham. We believe that libraries can and should be vibrant community centers where we celebrate and nurture learning, arts, culture and community development, according to its Facebook page that boasts over 200 members. Since its inception in October, the group has worked to resolve issues at both the main library on Church Street and the Endicott Branch Library. Reynolds
pointed to the creation of a single e-mail (librarytrustees@dedham-ma.gov) that will reach all five library trustees, the repair of the electronic card catalogue system and repairs to an electrical outlet, as ways DLIT has made changes at the two libraries. The biggest effort, however, has been the organization of volunteers for the library. D-LIT member Kristen Walker Overman announced at the meeting, that the library is looking for vol-
unteers to act as pages for three months. They are looking for volunteers to work mid-January to mid-April for two hours at both the main and the branch library. The hours would be 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Endicott library and 9 to 11 a.m., Monday, Tuesday and Friday at the main library. Volunteers can contact D-LIT through its facebook page. Though, Reynolds said, a permanent website is in the works.

ife isnt easy, and school and work doesnt make it any easier. Its stressful and tiring and puts a lot of pressure on students. There are so many things to worry about. That is why three years ago, due to their love of yoga and wanting to help teens cope with the pressures of school, Dedham High School psychologists Liz Vail and Ashley Weagraff formed a yoga club. Life can be stressful, especially the life of a teenager Vail said on a recent Friday morning With all the stresses that go on in high school,

the club has a limited number of mats provided, though girls are welcome to bring their own. It varies from week-toweek how many girls there are due to jobs and after school activities. One week there might be four girls, the next, there might be ten. Weagraff and Vail are co-instructors of the yoga club. Both of them enjoy doing yoga and have been doing it for a number of years. Weagraff said that she loved playing soccer, and that meant a lot of running, but she also realized she needed to incorporate in other things
as well. Thats when she decided to take on yoga and has been doing it ever since. She encourages others to get involved. You go at your own pace and do what your body allows you to do Weagraff said. It is very personal for what your body can do The yoga club is currently open for all Dedham High girls. Feel free to contact Liz Vail or Ashley Weagraff if you would like to get involved.

Selectmen brought down the gavel on a Dedham liquor store after police found the business repeatedly violated regulations. At the Thursday, Jan. 3, selectmens meeting, the board voted to suspend the license of East Dedham Liquors, located at 258 Bussey St., for six months. Three of those months will be served Jan. 14-April 14, and the other three will take place in the next 2 years. He realizes the gravity of the situation, owner Robert Renzis attorney Stephen Miller said at the meeting, and henceforth only he and one other trusted employee will operate the business. The infraction was the fth within 16 months for East Dedham Liquors. Four of the infractions involved serving alcohol to minors, while the fth was the result of serving alcohol to an already inebriated individual. I can see the look on (Renzis) face. Half of me wants to shout, but I cant. This is not the part of the job that I like, selectmen chairman Carmen DelloIacono said.

Dedhams roads are above average for the commonwealth, and road repair costs will come in $74,000 under budget for fiscal 2012, according to the Pavement Management Report presented by Town Engineer Jason Mammone and Deparment of Public Works director Joe Flanagan. In 2012, almost 23,000 linear feet of roads were redone, and over 7,000 linear feet of roads received preventative maintenance. As a result, Dedham scored an 82 on the pavement condition index, up from a 70 six years ago. Most towns aim to achieve a 78 to 82 rating. Because maintenance is cheaper than repair, the higher rating equals savings for the Dedham, Mammone noted. The report also projected that if Dedham continues to receive equivalent funding from Chapter 90, a state program that reimburses roadwork, roads will only need $525,000 from the town of Dedham, down from $1.5 million. Sarah MacDonald cautioned, however, that Chapter 90 funding may be slashed in the upcoming year.

efore taking one of Randy Moys Tai Chi classes at Yoga Now in Dedham Square, participants might want a vocabulary lesson. First word: Qigong. Merriam-Websters dictionary says it is an ancient Chinese healing art involving meditation, controlled breathing and movement exercises. OK, now Tai Chi.

After a heated exchange Wednesday, Jan. 5, with defense lawyers, a Norfolk County Superior Court judge reluctantly delayed the trial of two men accused of killing a Framingham resident in March 2009. The case against Paul Moccia and Daniel Bradley was set to go to trial on Jan. 18. Judge Janet Sanders was presented with a slew of motions from lawyers representing Paul Moccia and Daniel Bradley, asking that an array of potential evidence be thrown out. Sanders questioned why so much information was being brought forth on the eve of trial, adding that discussing such matters would take upward of four hours and would require several more meetings. As a result, she postponed the trial from Jan. 18 to April 11. Last weeks hearing at the Dedham court was supposed to be the final pretrial appearance for Moccia, 50, of Dedham, and Bradley, 49, of Westwood, who are accused of shooting alleged Framingham drug deal-

TAI CHI
From Page 1
art is simply an emphasis or an individual expression of ones manifestation of energy. Tai chi emphasizes on the internal or meditative aspect of your overall martial arts training, where one would eventually move their body with the mind and not so much muscle. Other martial arts, such as Karate and Muay Thai kickboxing, emphasize only the external and individual movement of their body parts. Tai Chi also differentiates itself from these arts because it emphasizes on moving your body as one unit.
Why Q :inghurtdid I start learnTai Chi? :I myself really A whenhockey,younger bad I was playing ice the doctor
said that I wasnt able to play hockey anymore due to an injury with my knee. I did not like the doctors answer and wanted to continue to play hockey. I pleaded to my father to see if he knew of anyway I could fix my knee so I can get back on the ice again. He told me that he had heard Qigong and Tai Chi could help me out. He introduced me to my Qigong instructor, Donald Wong, and I started to learn Qigong from him. Within a month of very, very diligent practice (About 2 hours a day, 7 days a week), I was able to get back on the ice and skate again. After another month of diligent practice, I felt like I never got hurt and kept on playing up to the end of high school. After reaching a numbers of years into my Qigong training, I started to become curious in Tai Chi. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet another master, my teachers teacher, Cheung Fong Ha in Berkeley, California. Master Ha took me in as his student and taught me everything I know about Tai Chi. I still learn from Master Ha either by visiting him in California (rare these days with expensive flights) or his annual seminars at the Nam Pai Academy in Bostons Chinatown.

New rector has vision for community

PAGE B8
The Church of the Good Shepherd, founded by an escaped black slave from the South, now has its rst non-white rector in Noble Scheepers. Born in South Africa, Scheepers came to the United States in 2008 and got a job as a priest at the Church of the Good Shepherd in March 2011. He was recently made the 11th rector of the church. This is an extremely
closely knit community and they show that they have no hesitation in making you aware they appreciate what theyve got, Scheepers said on Friday, Dec. 28. You want to grow with the people and congregation. Every spiritual leader in the community has to be a visionary. Scheepers vision for the church is to expand it and to make the community more aware of its presence, he said. I see a lot of young people around and yet I dont
see a lot of those young people attached to the church, Scheepers said. In his nearly two years with the church, Scheepers has tried a number of outreach techniques. He has brought in the Ocean State Barbershop Harmony Chorus, of which he is a member, as well as starting the tradition of a South African barbecue every summer. What makes it South African is that there are

Alex Fofonoff s rst lm, A Really Good Movie About a Very Bad Day, had a simple plot. It was just about me, Alex, having a really bad day and then conquering it at the end, Fofonoff said on a Tuesday afternoon at a Dedham coffee shop. That is where it all started. He was 13. Now the 22-year-old lmmaker, Dedham native and New
York University senior has a larger theatrical aspiration. His senior thesis, a 25-minute short titled Kingdom Coming, uses a new glass to see old things through, he said. Set in post-Civil War America, the script follows the return home of a son of a wealthy Northern general who hired another
man to ght for him. Fofonoff said the main character, Robert, returns from abroad to take responsibility for the death of the man he hired. However, during a raucous postwar celebration at his family home, he Alex Fofonoff of Dedham will shoot a short film on nds it is not as easy as he post-Civil War America in Boston over the summer.

said she is still looking for answers. Weve had a drug problem for years. I want to know what the town is going to do about the problem, Victoria said at the Substance Abuse Taskforce
meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Dedham Police Detective Kevin Mahoney presented statistics that back up Victorias assertion. From January 2011 through December 2012, there were 82 overdoses, though not all fatal and some from people overdosing over and over again. Not surprisingly, many of the prescription medicine incidents also appear to include alcohol use as a contributing factor, Mahoney said. He said from 2007-11 there has been a 48 percent increase in non-fatal opiate-related events from local hospitals and that fatal overdose numbers are higher than people that die in car accidents. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with, Mahoney said. Its a problem that doesnt have any boundaries. Its crossed enough lines that people want to do something about it. Part of the problem, according to Dr. Michael Marciello of Dedham Medical Group, is writing prescriptions without being able to adequately know if a person could be prone to addiction. While all prescription in his office are done electronically, Marciello said the thinking and teaching
on pain relief has moved away from an approach that used multiple and different types of medicines to one focused on preventing addiction and abuse. Marciello said abusers are often kids who started smoking tobacco products and marijuana or who experimented with alcohol. Prevention doesnt start with the prescription to the adult. Some of the prevention is before the prescription even gets out there, Marciello said. From the enforcement side of things Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey said his office also works on prevention. He said 26 of 28 communities in Norfolk County have drug drop off sites at police stations so unused medication doesnt get misused by young people. In addition he said there are more state police in the states drug unit and more training is given to them. Drug dealers who are caught see their money, cars, computers, and phones seized, he said. Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Rowe said the countys diversion program is available to prosecutors for younger kids but also to anyone who wants to refer a child. It allows schools to refer
kids who they know use marijuana that we cant prosecute because of current laws, Rowe said. We dont want to wait for someone to be court involved to take advantage of (those classes). Ron Brock, who grew up and still lives in Dedham, said that although he is a former graduate and counselor at the drug recovery program Teen Challenge, he struggled for years with addiction. He said it is still easy for someone to get whatever they want on the street and that stiffer nes and longer treatment programs were needed. I went through a 15 month course, Brock said. Thirty day courses and three month courses are not going to cut it. You need a longer rehabilitation time. Selectmen Sarah MacDonald and Mike Butler said they would bring recommendations out of the task force meeting to the Jan. 17 selectmens meeting to determine if a permanent task force should be created and the goals the community would like to see to address the drug issue.

Fofonoff is planning to shoot Kingdom Coming over two weeks in June. While he has his crew nalized, the actors havent been selected. He plans to do an open casting call in New York to see what comes out of the woodwork of the city. As the young lmmaker returns home to complete his senior thesis, he is hopeful for a career after college. Ideally, Fofonoff hopes to screen Kingdom Coming in festivals, and has already submitted another short, The Fool. From there, he hopes to get recognized and hired as a writer or director.

Whos in charge of shoveling sidewalks?

The issue: Snow piling up on sidewalks Meredith Pasciuto said when she dropped off her children at the Avery School last Friday morning, they found a large pile of snow on the sidewalk blocking them from getting to the crosswalk in front of the school. The children walking this way had to walk around the snow pile onto busy High Street in order to access the crosswalk to get to school. This is a very dangerous situation as Im sure you can appreciate, she wrote in an e-mail to DPW Director Joseph Flanagan. Meantime, in Greenlodge, Garry Sherman is annoyed about the towns sidewalk tractor, which he says is too wide to be effective and too light, so it just rides up on the snow. Sherman said there are lots of telephone poles and fireplugs on his street, Vincent Road, so the plow cant get around those and stops leading to snow piles. The protocol There isnt really one. The town does plow the sidewalks that are on school routes, typically on one side of the road, Assistant Town Administrator Nancy Baker said. But there is no bylaw requiring residents to shovel their sidewalks. We attempted it at Town Meeting several years ago, and it didnt pass, she said. Flanagan could

After years of planning, the red brick Avery schoolhouse in East Dedham ofcially became the Mother Brook Arts and Community Center. On Jan 17, the Board of Selectmen signed a 10-year lease with the arts center. The crew will move in on March 1. The board of directors is chomping at the bit, Selectman Michael Butler said, before signing the lease. I think people will see a lots of positive changes. Dedham may be on the cutting edge of a trend toward arts and community centers nationwide, officials said. Towns are beginning to realize the value of combining a cultural space with a community space, especially one that includes young and old alike, Town Administrator William Keegan said. It begins a new era, one that is not very common in the commonwealth but is starting to grow as an interest, and were pleased to be at the front end of that interest, Keegan said. He added that Dedham should be a prime market for the studio industry as there is not much local competition. Selectmen were careful to emphasize that the agreement should also earn the town money.

strip. Im the fastest builder in my family, he said. Launched in October 2011, the PathFinders Program provides an important opportunity for children with special needs to be healthy and creative, director Marnie Colantuoni explained. That opportunity can take the form of classes such as Legos and arts and crafts, or sports like swimming, basketball, baseball, and soccer. We want kids to be healthy; for some, that means exercise. For others, it means socialization, she explained. On Friday, Jan. 18, seven students joined facilitator Allison Whelpley in Legos and arts and crafts. The seven and eight year olds built cars and space shuttles at the center at 269 Common St. They knelt or sat cross-legged on the wood paneled oor of the dance room, looking down at their projects with intense focus, their work reected in the mirrors-on-wheels that lined the opposite wall. Though they werent all collaborating, they formed
a tight cluster at the far end of the room, save Ava Ricard, who was laying a large, circular track in the middle. Near the entrance, Whelpley kept an eye on the children as she placed their sculptures on the table, laying a brush and a paper cup with fresh water at each place. When the set-up was complete, she called participants to make a semi-circle around her and read aloud to them from childrens book Ish by Dedham resident Peter Reynolds. Afterwards, the kids dragged their chairs back to the table and painted volcanoes, Lord of the Rings sets, and other clay sculptures they had made the previous week. Parents were the driving force behind PathFinders, and they expressed gratitude for the program, which has served approximately 40 students since its inception. We will continue to participate in PathFinders as long as it exists, parent Sara Sountoulidis said. It is the only program of its kind in southern Norfolk County, and draws students from neighboring Hyde Park and West Roxbury, according to
Colantuoni. Students with diverse needs can be accommodated, and every facility is fully handicap accessible Colantuoni underlined, though most of the kids present on Friday were on the Autism spectrum. An extra hand is needed at times to meet all the childrens needs. The previous class had eight kids. A mother whose kid had cerebral palsy would sit through the whole class, and she was a huge help. At the end I gave her a certicate for outstanding assistant, she was amazing. Whelpley said. Whelpley, who has worked for Cerebral Palsy of Massachusetts and the South Shore ARC, admitted that it can be good to have someone else on hand when the unexpected happens. She said she was alone once with all the kids when one took off and started tearing through the Dolan Recreational Center. She had to line up the remaining class and take them with her to locate the runaway child. That is why were always looking for volunteers. High school students, people interested in educational or special

education, she added. One volunteer was present on Friday night 19-year-old Andrew Mancuso, who is diagnosed with a disorder in the autism spectrum. Mancuso, who is also a teaching assistant at the New England Sports Academy, said he enjoys volunteering and looks forward to spending time Saturday and Sunday at NESA. He assisted Whelpley in setting up paint palettes and bringing participants to the water cooler, and he sat on the oor to play with the kids. Socialization is an important aspect of PathFinders. It provides a unique opportunity for kids at all levels to interact on the special need kids home turf. Its a privilege for the regular-ed kids to be able to come to this program, instead of the other way around, which it might normally be, Whelpley

She noted that When kids rst come here their parents say, He doesnt talk to anybody, he doesnt interact a lot with different children at school, and then [the kids] come here, and they all love Star Wars and they all like Lord of the Rings, and all these boys just become immediate friends. The Dedham Recreation

daughter. (The wipes) become a ubiquitous thing, she said. You start to use them for everything. You clean the fridge with them. They are right there. Then came the light bulb moment. I went to drop my baby off at the nanny. It was a joke that they had bought the same ottoman as us, but I walk in and there (on the ottoman) was the same wipes container, she laughed. It was sitting in the same place on the same ottoman and I was just like, why dont we cover this. It should be prettier. Carreiro, an engineer, sales person, and crafter, got to work. One Super Bowl Sunday she bought fabric, and pulled out a tiny sewing machine. I started sewing prototypes and then contacted a patent attorney, she said. She bought Inventions for Dummies, and the ball was rolling. Then, in May 2012, she lost her job. With a positive outlook, Carreiro put her energy into building her product WipesWraps and from there launched CleverRelish. In November 2012, WipesWraps received patent-pending status. She hired Unwrapped Inc, a manufacturing company in Lowell, to sew the covers and the online sale of WipesWraps began. There are currently 24 patterns for the WipesWraps and is priced at $15 each. The cover is made to perfectly t the leading brand baby wipe tubs. Carreiro said it ts Pampers like a glove. Her goal is to eventually market WipesWraps to companies that manufacture baby dcor. In the United States alone there are 200 companies that manufacture baby dcor, she said. They make the bedspread that matches the sheet that matches the pillow that matches the little appliqu thing on the wall. Why do they ignore the wipes tub? She hopes to license WipesWraps to those companies and help moms hide the teal tub. Yet this is just one small step in Carreiros dream of growing CleverRelish. CleverRelish as a company is about the

Choose one: huge fare increases and vast service reductions, or slightly smaller fare increases and even more service reductions. Those are the alternatives the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, saddled with an expected $161 million budget shortfall, is presenting its customers. If we are required to implement these plans, we will see decreased ridership and they could well leave some people without a public transit option, MBTA acting general manager Jonathan Davis said at a Wicked Local editorial board meeting Friday. The first scenario would eliminate 60 bus routes and increase fares by an average of 43 percent. The second eliminates more than 200 bus routes, reduces the length of 11 others and would increase fares by an average of 35 percent.

Thanks for the memories

This past Saturday night over 300 friends of Riverdale came to Moseleys on the Charles to celebrate being part of the Riverdale community. We would like to thank the many people, friends and family that helped make this a very successful reunion. Starting with Vicky Kruckeberg, executive director of the Dedham Historical Society for her insightful presentation of Riverdale, Jane Breed, Bob King, Bob Aldous, and Bob Reissfelder for sharing their wonderful memories of growing up in Riverdale. Special thanks also to Rita Girard and Gloria Nelson for a beautiful performance of Mosey out to Moseleys. We would like to recognize our youngest and oldest attendees, Kristen Lebovitz (16) and Rita McDonald (95). Thank you to all the families that gave us photos for our slide show, especially Evelyn Dorsheimer, David Noyes, Bob King, and the Volante and Amos families. A huge thank you to Joanne Hathaway Curry, Denise Reissfelder Downing-Foley, Linda Cornacchini Cotto, Jeanette Ellis Garber and Maria Collins for all their help throughout the night. Thank you to Nancy Clement and the Riverdale School, Parks and Recreation director Bob Stanley, Joan Foley and the St. Susannas church social group, and special thanks to Dorothy Leonard, Patty Nader Begin, Mike OBrien, and Ed DeVincenzo for all their support. And the biggest thank you of all, to the Facebook Friends of Riverdale that helped to make this event as successful as it was. Sincerely, The Friends of Riverdale Reunion Committee
She lives in her childhood home on Arlington road. (The home) is on the big hill that ends down by the river where we used to skate, she said. Her sister, Laney Clement chimed in with her memory. We used to take our sleds to the top of the hill in the winter, slide down the hill on the snow, put our skates on, skate across the channel to go bowling, Laney smiled. (Then) spend the day in the bowling alley (only to) turn around put the skates back on, cross the channel, grab the sled and then it was (time to go home). From there the stories
just flowed. We would be outside at recess (at the Riverdale School) and Monsignor (Michael J.) Durant from St. Susannas church would get in his car and drive to the parking lot every single day, Laney said and Nancy just nodded, knowing how the story ended. He would throw candy to the kids. It was hilarious. Most memories of Riverdale take place along the Charles. Sixteen-yearold Kristin Lebovitz, who was the youngest person at the reunion, said her family is pretty outdoorsy.

or play kickball on the street, she said and added that she lives on a quiet street. I have a lot of friends in the neighborhood, it was kind of close knit group where we would go over each others houses. As the night turned to
dancing, one question remained: How did Candy Mountain get its name? Through this whole party, weve tried to figure out where the name came from, and nobody knows where the name came from, Mullinix said. While there isnt a specific route to get to the area, Mullinix pointed to a map and said the best way to see the mountain is from West Roxbury. If you are in Millennium Park and you are looking toward Dedham, you are looking at Candy Mountain, she said. Everyone who is here went to Candy Mountain. I have 20-yearold kids now and they went to Candy Mountain. Kruckeberg, executive director of the Dedham Historical Society, said that she too has tried to uncover the mystery of the name. I have no answer for you. We have not been able to find any reference to finding Candy Mountain.

This program will combine talks, health screenings, checklists, handouts, demonstrations and more to help you identify your personal risks, learn fall prevention strategies and take charge of your health. VNA Care Network fall prevention experts, nurses and physical therapists, will provide the program.

The deer that was rescued Saturday morning from the icy Charles River was later euthanized due to hypothermia, the Dedham Fire Department said. Paul and Martha Podolski, of 131 Jenney Lane, called the re department shortly after 11 a.m. when they saw a deer stuck in the icy water behind their home. "He (Paul) went out to his car to leave to his
hockey game. He heard a splash in the water and saw a deer stuck," Martha Podolski told the Dedham Transcript on Monday, Jan. 28. Deputy Fire Chief James Neilan said remen used a rescue sled to retrieve the deer from the water a process that took about three hours. "It was probably 17 degrees out and they were up to the neck in water," Podolski said. "I was really worried when the remen were in the water." After retrieving the deer
from the water, reghters took the animal to the basement of Podolskis brothers home, 129 Jenney Lane, and placed the deer near a woodstove for about 45 minutes. "We had a big comforter over him and (remen) were rubbing his fur," Podolski said. "The deer was denitely improving, but he wasnt able to get up on his own." The deer was taken to the Dedham branch of the Animal Rescue League of

Representatives from Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts presented an overview of its services to Dedhams Sustainability Advisory Committee and explored the possibility of partnering with the town. The towns Environmental Coordinator Virginia LeClair secured $1,600 of the mitigation funds from the construction of Legacy Place to form a green business program. She had already used the funds to create materials such as a logo and checklist when LeClair and the towns Economic Director Karen OConnell realized it might be more effective to partner with the Cambridge-based nonprot than start from scratch. Members voiced that a green program would attract customers, save money, and make Dedham a healthier place to live and work.

it is contagious and catchy, which is why we havent stopped. Almost weekly, the entirely volunteer-run nonprot organizes a variety of family-friendly events. We do collections, collect toys and art supplies, Maxwell pauses and thinks, and sing in nursing homes, cheer on marathon runners. When not in school or participating in sports, his nights and weekends are spent with his family helping others because, we know doing good for others makes us feel happy. This makes Joy proud. She believes that if you teach volunteerism at a young age it will carry the child to adulthood. Start with kids and then they will have it their whole life, she said. Start with families, and it will become solidied and strong within the home. Week-by-week, Joy, founder and director of Catching Joy, actively works to bring this message to the community. The concept of Catching Joy is that we link up with different nonprofits or causes and nd a hands-on project that young kids with their families can do, Joy said. It isnt just families bringing their kids and they are running around and playing If they are coloring then the parents are writing the messages. But together they are all doing things. At the Blue Bunny Bookstore in Dedham Square, Catching Joy recently organized a hats, mittens, scarves, and coats collection for Solutions At Work. Residents joined the High Street business SheepSkate and the Dedham Junior Womens Club to ll baskets for the charity. Keeping with the hands-on project angle, kids decorated mittens that will be attached to the donation and distributed as a way to further spread the joy. The crafts is Maxwells favorite part of Catching Joy. I like making the posters, Maxwell said. A skilled artist, Maxwell will often take the lead at the various events encouraging kids to take time in crafting the card, poster, or bookmark. We donate the cards with the collection or sometimes the cards are the main thing, Maxwell said. We collect books sometimes and with the books we donate the cards or make bookmarks. They will get a card and the book and it will make them really happy.

In September 2013, we will celebrate our fth year, Joy said. We launched it on Maxwells fth birthday at Fenway Park. Joy said that in 2008, she asked party guests to donate to Catching Joy instead of giving presents. (We told them) that we are starting Catching Joy as a way to give young kids and their families the opportunity to feel the joy of giving, she said. At the rst event, participants made cards and posters for the Boston-based charity Birthday Wishes. From that event Catching Joy caught on. They support all of the holiday events for the Ritz-Carlton of Boston. In December, Catching Joy organizes an ornament-making table at the Nutcracker in Boston. Joy staffs the tables with volunteers and families have the opportunity to make ornaments to hang on Christmas trees in the lobby. Often more ornaments are made than needed, so Joy explained she gets other companies to donate trees that were decorated and donated to shelters. We work with over 60 nonprots and have reached over 6,000 kids, Joy says and then jumps to the next project. Her mind doesnt stop. We value what even one child can do because that ripple effect is so great. In Dedham, Catching Joy has partnered with Discover Music and Art, The North Star Childrens Ramble, Dedham Jr. Womens League, Jack & Erics Pirate Lemonade stand, the Dedham Farmers Market and that is just to name a few. Shes also worked with Boston College and students at Lasalle College to teach the basics of running a nonprot. Two years ago a class at Lasalle organized Catching Joys

winter fair. Lasalle put on an entire fundraiser from beginning to end, she said and added that they raised about $7,000. Recently, Microsoft selected Catching Joy to be a community partner. They will be responsible for running tables at different events, but keeping the message of volunteerism. We want to let other
people know (about helping others), Maxwell excitedly said. So they can make other people feel happy. Thats twice the people. When they make other people feel happy, they make themselves feel happy.

5 ways to ensure your health care wishes are carried out
lthough it may be difficult or uncomfortable to discuss the type of health care you wish to receive should you be impacted by an accident, a terminal illness, or circumstances that may warrant skilled nursing care, nevertheless its important to make your wishes known while still healthy and independent. When a person is unable to give clear direction about his or her care because of illness or incapacity, the circumstances for the patient and family are even more difficult. Here are ve ways to increase the likelihood that your wishes will be met.
ATTORNEY MARIA C. BALER
to make health care decisions for yourself, who will do that for you? A Health Care Proxy is the legal document we use in Massachusetts to appoint a person (your Health Care Agent) to make health care decisions for you if your doctor determines that you are unable to do so. This is sometimes called an Advance Directive. If you do not have a Health Care Proxy and your doctor determines that you are unable to make decisions about your treatment, a legal guardian will need to be appointed by the Court to make those decisions for you. A guardianship proceeding is time consuming and expensive, and gives you little or no control over who the Court names to make health care decisions for you. The best way to ensure that your wishes are carried out is to create a Health Care Proxy naming a person you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf. When you create your Health Care Proxy, make sure you give a copy to your doctor and your Health Care Agent. A Health Care Proxy can be prepared for you by an attorney, or forms are available on the website of the Massachusetts Medical Society (www. massmed.org).
1. Create a Health Care Proxy. If you are unable
people who are authorized to speak with your caregivers about your health and your health care. The people listed are given permission to receive information but they are not decision makers. Any decision-making about your health care is done only by the Health Care Agent you have named in your Health Care Proxy. Signing a HIPAA Authorization will ensure that friends or family members you want to stay fully informed about your medical condition will have the legal ability to do that, so they can assist you or provide input to your Health Care Agent if necessary.
3. Write a Living Will or other Instructions. A Liv-
ing Will is a document that specically addresses life-sustaining treatment, and typically states a persons wish to not be kept alive by articial means if they have an incurable condition and are not expected to recover. In Massachusetts, Living Wills serve as an expression of your wishes that your Health Care Agent can refer to when making health care decisions for you. If you do not want your life to be prolonged by articial means, it is important that you let your Health Care Agent know how you feel. A Living Will is a simple and effective way to do this.

FROM THE EDITOR
Its time to say goodbye now T

wo hours of my week is spent with cartoonist, storyteller and Dedham resident Katy Bussell. She started interning at the Dedham Transcript in 2011, a month after I became Mrs. Michael Calvin. Katy entered my life during a point of great change. Every Thursday we brainstorm ideas for her next Mascots or Mixed Nuts cartoon that will appear in the following issue. Then we maneuver through the comic book shes working on. This month its the sequel to the Secret Library. We battle story lines and character development. She throws out an idea for one situation and I turn it on its head. Right now we are working on a plot of acceptance. One character has to overcome a phobia

to befriend and ultimately accept another. As Katy grows, and changes happen in her personal life, her characters evolve. Shes explained that sometimes a little piece of her is in every story. Together we create, she draws, and we both learn. Katy is just one of the Dedham people that has changed my life. For that I am truly grateful. Friday, Feb. 1, is my last day with the Dedham Transcript. This fantastic journey started in October
2009, with the end of a daily publication and the relaunch of a weekly paper. Like the characters in Katys books, Ive watched the story line of this town develop. From the editors desk, Ive celebrated the approval of the Avery School, the start of the Dedham Square Improvement Project, the 375th birthday of the town, the Dedham Public Art Project, the rst Riverdale Reunion, and now, the launch of the Mother Brook Arts and Community Center. This is to just name a few (I do have a word limit). Ive been a Riverdale pen pal (twice), volunteer, and mentor to a number of college interns. Then there are the folks that have allowed me to share their story. From the short interviews over coffee to the many afternoons
Ive spent with Dedhams unique characters, this town will hold a special piece in my heart. Ive had ve versions now of this column. Every draft is longer than the last with names and stories of the individuals Ive met in the nearly four years Ive covered Dedham. I want to leave you, the reader, with just a sense of the amazing minds that comprise this town. I want to share and re-share the interviews. But, in the end, Ive decided to encourage you to do one thing: Meet your neighbor. Thats what Ive done since 2009. Dedham is lled with courageous, creative souls just waiting to ignite, inspire and transform the town they love. Thank you for sharing.

hoveling - every New Englanders favorite winter activity. Though weve had a mild winter thus far, there have been a few storms, and more snow is bound to be on the way. Those of you who are lucky enough to own a snow blower or plow are certainly saving yourselves from potential injury. For the rest of us, here are some tips to staying injury-free during the winter season. First and foremost, as the temperature drops, its important to keep warm by layering your clothes. When muscles get cold, they are more likely to tear and become injured than if they have been kept warm. Keep your muscles pliable and exible by adding layers as it gets colder. Its better to have too many layers and remove some, than have too few and become injured because of it. If you dont have the luxury of staying home during
a snowstorm and need to head to work, its best to plan ahead when it comes to snow removal. Be sure to keep an eye on the weather the night before so you know when snow is expected, and therefore can give yourself a little extra time in the morning before work to shovel properly. Rushing can lead to poor form, which can lead to back injuries. If youre trapped in the house by drifts of snow and cant make it to the gym, shoveling can actually provide you with good exercise if done properly. But even if you identify yourself as a gym rat, you can still hurt yourself while
shoveling. Since shoveling is not an exercise that most people perform at the gym, some muscles that are used to shovel can become deconditioned over time from lack of use. These muscles can include those between your shoulders, in your upper and lower back, buttocks and legs. To avoid injury, its best to stretch, and even warm up by doing some jumping jacks before diving into that mountain of snow. So what is the best shoveling method to clear the driveway while preventing injury? First, rather than picking up large piles of snow, turning and then throwing, push the snow instead. While holding the handle, place the bottom of the shovel against the ground and push it as you walk. When the shovel becomes full, bend at the knees, lift the shovel with your arms and legs, and carry the snow to its drop-off location. The typical method
of shoveling involves digging into the snow while bending with the back, followed by turning at the waist and throwing the snow violently. This combination of bending and turning is one of the top causes of low back disc injuries, which is why more people end up with back issues as the snow piles up. Finally, its important to pace yourself when shoveling, especially if you do not have a regular exercise routine. Muscle fatigue can leave you prone to injury, so take breaks every 10-15 minutes, or when you feel the need, in order to give your muscles some time to recuperate. Listen to your body and stop shoveling if you feel chest pain, become suddenly extremely tired, or have shortness of breath. These are signs that you may need immediate medical help.

More than two years after two area men were charged with the murder of a 37-year-old Framingham resident, police charged a Plymouth man with helping the pair hide the victims body. John Murphy, 59, of Plymouth, pleaded not guilty through his lawyer, Louis Font, to the charge of accessory to murder, at Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham Friday. Judge Robert Cosgrove set Murphys bail at $80,000 cash. Murphy, in handcuffs and wearing a hooded gray sweatshirt, was silent during the proceedings, staring at the judge. Seated behind him
in the gallery were his wife of 38 years, Elaine Murphy, who fought back tears; his 36-year-old son, Terrence Murphy; and two other relatives. Paul Moccia of Dedham and Daniel Bradley of Westwood are awaiting trial for the March 2009 murder of Angel Ramirez. They are being tried separately; Moccias trial was delayed earlier this month and will begin in February. Bradleys will follow.

RIVERDALE REUNION
Ready to share memories?

Jan. 21 event a time to celebrate old neighborhood

Ask anyone who grew up in the Riverdale neighborhood and you will find similar stories of fishing tournaments at Tropicland, dancing at Moseleys on the Charles, getting penny candy from Hellmans Variety Store and Joe Lynchs driving range. Perhaps, these shared memories are why the bonds of friendship are still strong, Lisa Mullinix said. Growing up in Riverdale gives you a unique closeness with your friends and neighborsI am still close with all
my teenage friends, she said. This alone is a rare thing. On Saturday, Jan. 21, the Friends of Riverdale will host the first Riverdale Reunion at Moseleys on the Charles and everyone is invited. The event will feature music, food, drinks, photos, speakers and, of course, memories. Tickets are $20. To get your tickets and for more information visit the Friends of Riverdale Reunion page on Facebook. It really took off in October, Jim Amos, one of the event organizers said. And from there it just snowballed. What sparked the idea for a reunion was the Friends of
Riverdale Facebook page. The page has over 350 members. We started posting pictures and people were just going nuts, Amos said. And then someone said, We ought to get together. Mullinix, another one of the organizers, said the group hopes to have the reunion every year to educate the younger crowd on what old Riverdale was like. The Dedham Transcript recently asked Riverdale residents to share memories of growing up in the neighborhood. And now for the memories:

In an email to the Dedham Transcript, Mullinix talked about growing up in Riverdale. I have lived in Riverdale all but seven years of my life. We moved here in 1963. When I married (Tom, another
Riverdale resident), we bought a house across the street from my parents house. We raised two boys here in Riverdale, and I wouldnt want to live anywhere else in town.

Growing up here, I loved the fact that we had a park on the Charles River to hang out in, a river to fish in and boat on and a golfing range to hit a bucket of balls. As a teenager, we would spend time in the woods at Candy Mountain, Noble and Greenough School and the Riverdale School itself. I remember as a child, sledding down the hills, across from the school in the summer, on pieces of cardboard and roaming the woods off of Vine Rock Street. Spending lazy summer days playing on the cement animals in the Riverdale Park. Going to Hellmans Variety Store on Bridge Street for penny candy and riding my bike to the pool at the Dedham Community House.

I was born and raised in Riverdale and I left when I went into the service in 1983, Bob Begin said about his time in Riverdale. He now lives in Norwood. When asked about his fondest memory of growing up in Riverdale, Begin shared a tale of fishing. I was probably 10 or 12 at the time. Me and my cousin Billy went fishing a lot. My whole life at that time was fishing. The challenge of trying to catch something was always there. I remember we had seen this fish; it looked like a great white shark every time it was going after anything floating. You would see the white wake, then a fin would come up and then the whole thing would disappear. We had seen this for a while and we had been fishing for it. The thing had some size to it. With perfect detail, Begin shared the day the fish took the bait, a piece of bread, and grabbed the line. He just took it down. I was watching it and my line was going down with it. I knew
there was a current coming, he said and explained that he was trying to figure out if he actually had the fish when the line turned against the current. I was like, alright I got him. The two worked hard to pull the fish up over rocks and over the bridge. We ended up bringing that fish over to the Dedham Transcript and we got our picture taken standing side-by-side with the fish in our arms, he said.
Mary Hathaway
Mary Hathaways journey to Dedham started when she left her home in Ireland on Dec. 19, 1947, for Boston. She lived with an aunt before starting her family. She eventually moved to a home on Massachusetts Avenue Dedham in 1960. I lived in Jamaica Plain and I had four children and lived on the third floor and my landlord said I had to move out (because of the noise), she said. Her family eventually grew to 10 children, many still live in Dedham and all attended Riverdale School. When we moved to Dedham we didnt have a church; St. Susannas Parish broke ground in 1960, she said. She said the monsignor at the time of the groundbreaking presented a shovel to her infant son Kevin in hopes he would follow in his footsteps and become a priest. Of course he didnt.
Special Advertising Feature
Hathaway said the church would meet at Moseleys until it was built in 1962. We had our first Mass in the basement of the church because upstairs wasnt finished. With 10 children in Riverdale, Hathaway was always on hand to take the neighborhood children on adventures. I used to take the kids on field trips and would say it would be a mystery ride, she said. The ride was simple, she would drive down the street and if she saw a kid out walking she would invite them for a ride. They had no idea where we were going. The trips often ended at Franklin Park or the Arboretum for Lilac Sunday. Now living at Doggett Circle, Hathaway is active in the town. Shes served as a Town Meeting member for over 40 years and knits hats and mittens for students at Riverdale School.
Michael OBrien
and go down to what was Joe Lynchs driving range and mini golf. We would have a broken hockey stick with a can nailed to one end for scooping golf balls. We got paid 25 cents for a peach basket, 35 cents for a milk crate and 50 cents for a bushel basket. We would pick in the morning then run to Hellmans Variety Store for penny candy. Then run to school. Sometimes we would go behind the boathouse at Tropicland and fish. We would visit Tropicland (on Bridge Street) and see all the different fish and in the back of the store they had a room with all kinds of other pets sometimes they would have monkeys. I remember my first true love high school sweetheart who is from Riverdale and to this day we are still close friends. The day we moved to Riverdale I met a guy that became my best friend and remains so still. Riverdale isnt just a place to live or grow up, its a way of life to be experienced.

In an email to the Dedham Transcript, OBrien shared his Riverdale memories: My folks bought their home in Riverdale in 1967. Riverdale School was a great school with teachers that cared about each student. The principal at the time was Mr. Raffa. He was a pretty nice guy and you could go to him about anything. When I was in the fifth grade myself and lots of other kids would wake up early

DEDHAM BIOBLITZ
Exploring the great outdoors

By Andrea Salisbury
t the entrance to Wigwam Pond in the parking lot of Atent for Rent, Dedham resident and nature enthusiast Stephanie Radner spotted a large white bird in the distance. At first she thought it was a heron. If I see something like this, she said pointing in the direction of the winged creature thats still too far away to identify. I usually take a picture, walk a couple feet and take another picture. She tries to get closer while still keeping her distance and doubts her first guess. But, she admits, it is still just a guess and pulls out a nature book hoping to better identify the bird. Radner doesnt have formal nature training. She worked for several years as a weather observer the Blue Hill Observatory and Science Center in Canton. But it wasnt until she stopped to look in her own backyard did Radner fully appreciate the nature which surrounded her. It just amazing. There is so much in this town that is just overwhelming, she said moving down the paved path to the bank of the pond. Every time I go out I find something new. Radner said she spends many mornings exploring Dedhams open space. In the summer of 2011 she started Dedham Natural Wonders, a Facebook page where she shares her discoveries, photos and asks questions. Dedham has vast open space, with close to 900 acres of wetlands, 600 acres of woodlands, and hundreds of acres of parks and other recreational space, she said. Excitedly she detailed the first project for Dedham Natural Wonders, a BioBlitz. A BioBlitz is typically a 24-hour event where scientists and volunteers conduct a biological inventory of a specific area. After attending the Berkshire BioBlitz earlier this summer, Rader decided to bring the exploration to Dedham. Some people say you need a year to plan one of these things and budget
Dedham resident and nature enthusiast Stephanie Radner organized Dedhams first BioBlitz for Saturday, July 23, at the Dolan Recreation Center.

and contacts, she said. But was told, If you arent really shooting to get a huge number, but rather to take an inventory of whats there, just do it. On Saturday, July 23, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Dolan Recreation Center, 269 Common St., Radner will hold Dedhams first BioBlitz. In addition to the experts from a variety of organizations including the Neponset River Watershed Association and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation working to build the local catalogue, the event has a family component where parents, children and other family members can explore and help identify various species. In keeping with
Stephanie Radner, founder of Dedham Natural Wonders, encourages residents to explore the open space in Dedham. On a recent Tuesday she explored Wigwam Pond in Dedham.
the towns 375th anniversary Saturdays goal, according to a press release is to tag and identify 375 species, such as plants, lichens, fungi, mammals, insects, birds, spiders, reptiles, and amphibians. Some highlights for the day include nature walks led by naturalist Peter Alden, a kid-friendly bio-scavenger hunt along the banks of the
Charles River, and display of live animals. All educational programs and activities at the BioBlitz are free. During a nature walk guided by someone with a well-trained eye, you can easily find 100 species in one morning - you just have to look around and discover what nature beholds, Alden said in a press release. For Radner this BioBlitz
is a first step in her goal to encourage others to explore their own backyards. Ive done outdoorsy and travel stuff but I never really stopped to look, she said and now that she has she knows there is still so much to learn. I dont know the names of anything, she joked. I learn that if I go out and find something new I will
take a picture and look it up when I get home. Then it will stick for a bit. After getting a bit closer to the white bird, Rader decides it is an egret. And as if he knew she was done, the egret decided to leave its perch for another spot in town.

DEDHAM SCHOOL COMMITTEE
New reading program for elementary schools

Treasures program to start in first and second grade
Who Else Wants To Lose 1230 lbs. In 12 Weeks Or Less?

I joined GISFW because I felt they could help me do what I couldnt do myself get into a fitness routine and stay in it! I have lost more than 35 lbs. in 12 weeks. I couldnt do this without my support system thank you to my GISFW family!
Underscoring the value of literacy education, the School Committee approved funding for Treasures, a new reading program for first and second graders. The School Committee voted unanimously Wednesday, July 13, to spend $35,000 this fiscal year and an equal amount next year for the program, which will include reading materials and audio phonics materials for students. While the district only has enough money to include first and second graders in the short term, Assistant Superintendent Cynthia Kelly hopes to include the other elementary grades as soon as funds are available. Treasures will have all students in each of the four elementary schools learning from the same materials, and replace the districts former literacy program, which was published in 2000, Kelly said. All the schools will be presenting the same curriculum, Kelly said. Before, even though our schools taught the same skill, at the end of the day, we didnt know if everyone got the same education. Now everyone is in the same program.
A 22-member committee including parents, teachers, principals and other administrators selected the program from a group of five. McGraw-Hills Treasures Reading Program offered the best literature selections, including several books that won the Caldecott Medal, Kelly said. The literacy program also features online materials rather than CD or DVD materials, which will provide greater access to those materials, Kelly said. The committee also looked for components for English Language Learners, Kelly said. The district has 132 students for whom English is not a first language, and about half of them are elementary students, she said. Former literacy mainstays at the Dedham schools, such as the Lucy Calkins Writing Program, will remain in effect, and be incorporated into the new program, Kelly said. School Committee member Mayanne Briggs said Wednesday, July 13, she thought the program looked excellent. This is going to be huge for a lot of families, she said. Im glad to see that were moving forward with it. For more information on the Treasures Reading Program, visit http://treasures.macmillanmh.com/.

Town continues A peek inside Callahans Closet to help Haiti

Amanda Cease has found a creative way to celebrate life. As a mother of two, Cease said she was looking for a way to balance work with family, so she started Callahans Closet, an online baby store with a personal touch. The Dedham resident designs and creates all of the items for sale with a bit of sewing help in the busy season and she even packages them in cigar boxes. She recently spoke with the Dedham Transcript on the baby business.

DEDHAM Police said they arrested Patricia Eng, 56, of 112 Cedric Road in Newton, on shoplifting charges after police said she took six DVDs worth $129 from Costco, at 400 Commercial Circle. Police responded to Costco on Thursday, June 3 at 2:10 p.m. after loss prevention saw Eng place the DVD movies in her shopping cart, before putting them in her pocketbook while in the bakery area of the store, said Lt. Robert Nedder. Eng brought the cart to the front of the store and tried to leave but was stopped, according to Nedder. She was arraigned in Dedham District Court on June 7, with the charge dismissed on court costs, he said.

Blaney stopped the Sentra in front of 25 Walnut St., where the driver, McNeil, told him that his license was suspended, Nedder said. Blaney confirmed that and arrested McNeil, who was arraigned last Monday in Dedham District Court, pleading not guilty, and is due back there for a pretrial hearing July 14, according to Nedder.

Dedhams Haiti earthquake relief effort has reached its third and final phase with the arrival in the St. Marys parking lot of a 45-foot trailer that is gradually being filled with shoes, clothes, hospital sheets and blankets. The needs in Haiti are really, really huge. And we still need a lot of supplies. We need money, Philippe Emmanuel Joseph, the pastor of the Dedham Temple Haitian Seventh-Day Adventist Church, said in an appeal to selectmen and the community at large. Joseph said that since the trailer arrived June 4, theyve collected shoes, clothes and towels. He said non-perishable foods like rice and dried beans are needed, as well as walkers and crutches, because we have a lot of amputees in Haiti. And if you have old bicycles you want to get rid of, the trailer will welcome them, Joseph said, prompting laughter from selectmen at their meeting last week. He presented a fast-moving slideshow of images of Haiti before and after the Jan. 12 earthquake, before beginning his talk. Adrienne Albani, who has been coordinating the towns effort to help Haiti, working alongside the pastor, said the container was donated by Recycling Solutions, which operates Dedhams transfer station. It was our plan to ship this container in the middle of June, and Im learning quite a bit about the international shipping business, and there are no schedules and no times, said Albani, who is a parttime town employee. We were told there was a ship leaving June 10 that has been delayed and delayed, and its still being delayed. We are working on getting the container filled and getting it shipped. She said phase 1 of the effort
was establishing an account at Needham Bank to raise funds for the mission trip, and phase 2 was a clothing drive which garnered hundreds and hundreds of bags of clothing, medical supplies, and even 20 hospital beds. And the third phase was the procurement of the container, and raising funds to ship it to Haiti. Joseph left Haiti in 1977, and has been pastor of the Dedham Square church on Washington Street since September. But he plans to return to his home country and distribute the trailers materials in September, as he takes a months sabbatical. Town Administrator said he is perfectly fine with leaving the container on the town-owned portion of the St. Marys lot for the summer, so we can get it filled and then send it off in September, after Joseph said it would take more time to fill than initially thought. Keegan thanked Albani tremendously for her effort. She said it will cost about $5,600 to ship it and weve got about $3,000, so we are getting there. Donations can be made to the Haiti Relief Fund at Needham Bank. Albani said Russell Disposal has donated a very substantial amount of money towards the shipping, and donors have also included Peter Zahka, the Rotary Club, and other businesses and individuals. The container will go to a small town outside the Port-ofPrince area that has not received much aid. Albani said the container is going to be put on a ship, brought to Haiti, rolled off, and brought over to a site, and it will become a permanent distribution site there for the folks that need help. And the pastor and his ministry team will be directly distributing those materials.

DEATH RACE
Gym owner vows to finish

By Andrea Salisbury
After watching the 10minute video on YouMayDie.com, John McEvoy was determined to be one of the 250 competitors in this years Death Race. It just looks completely ridiculous, the 26-year-old Dedham gym owner said. Its kind of like when people look at videos and say those people are crazy, that attracts me to it. Even the organizers of the race admit its not for everyone. You will not like this race and there is a strong possibility that you wont finish, reads a message on the registration pages special instructions section. Thats not a deterrent for McEvoy, whos taking a philosophical approach to the race. When people are really faced with unthinkable challenges and youve been up straight for two days straight, he said, then you see what kind of human you are. The Death Race is a 10mile loop on a mountain in Pittsfield, Vt., that begins Friday, June 24, and runs 48 hours. But McEvoy said there could be a few stragglers still trying to finish on Wednesday. This is the races sixth year, but his first year participating. McEvoy owns CrossFit Craic on Washington Street and said he will use exercise techniques from his gym to prepare for the race. He admits, though, that there isnt a realistic way to prepare for

a weekend of hell. The whole thing is based around mind games. Last year the racers were told it started at 4 a.m. on Saturday morning and there was a prerace meeting at 8 p.m. (on Friday), he said, his Irish accent becoming more pronounced as he got into the details of the race. When they arrived at the meeting they were like it is starting now. The mental games start as soon as you step foot there. Race organizers leave clues on Facebook and through email as to what gear participants need to bring. Last year, McEvoy said, racers had
to bring a 10-pound bag of onions, a post-hole digger and $50 in pennies. The gear is used in the series of challenges that comprise the race. McEvoy has been in touch with past competitors to get a glimpse of what is in store. One challenge had participants stand in a chilly freshwater river for 30 minutes while they solved a puzzle that they had to hold. In another section, participants had to memorize a list of presidents in order at the top of a mountain, then recite it when they reached the base. If a racer messed up, he or she had to start all over again.
Another challenge had participants repairing bridges. The whole thing is based around the fact that you dont know what you are doing. You dont know how long it is going to be. You dont know what is coming next, he said. This year, he said, participants have been told to bring goggles. His business partner, Glen Schleehauf, 29, of Milton, said he completely understands why McEvoy is attracted to this race. It is the unknown element and you are testing your ability to do whatever they throw at you so it is like, a microcosm of life in general, he said. You have to be prepared for any possible thing and you can you succeed you can do anything. McEvoy said there were only 19 finishers out of the 200 people who ran last years race. Regardless of whether I finish or not it is going to make me a stronger person, mentally as well as physically, he said. Maybe later in life when something difficult comes up I will look back at that moment and say, remember when you were in the woods and you were on your knees and you couldnt bear to take a step? And that is going to be nothing in comparison to anything else that I have to do in normal life. With a few weeks left to mentally and physically prepare for the race, McEvoy is confident he will return home victorious. I will finish, he said.

Dedhams theatrical presentation the All-America City Awards competition not only impressed the judges, but also revealed the spirit of an ambitious community, said the towns Environmental Coordinator
Virginia LeClair. Even though we didnt win this time, we still feel like we are winners, LeClair said. She was one of the 40 some residents, public officials, community leaders and students who traveled to Kansas City, Missouri on June 15-17, to share Dedhams story and highlight
distinct examples of community progress in town. LeClair said the National Civic League award is presented to municipalities that are actively addressing challenges and implementing sustainable improvements in their communities. I think we learned from being out
there what an amazing community Dedham is, just how many wonderful initiatives we have implemented and how many successes we have had compared to other communities, LeClair said. She added that 26 towns with big ideas competed in the final

n vacation from New Zealand Grace Bower had the honor of ringing the cowbell announcing the start of the fourth annual Dedham Farmers Market. On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, a variety of vendors set up under colorful pop-up tents and
transformed the towns Permit Lot on Eastern Avenue into a community hot spot. For many the Dedham Farmers Markets is more than a place to shop. Wednesday afternoons from noon to 6 p.m. is a time to catch up with neighbors, create art with kids, learn a new recipe or discover where your food comes from.

A few hours after the Library Board Trustees opted not to renew her contract, Dedham Library Director Patricia Lambert was preparing to leave for the day for her meditation and yoga class. She wasnt surprised by the boards decision. This decision was probably reached collaboratively, she said. Our paths were diverging. In a 4 to 1 vote, with Trustee Michael Chalifoux casting the lone yes, the trustees decided to not renew the Lamberts contract. Unless they negotiate an earlier end date, her last day will be June 30, 2012. I think was fairly clear that they wanted me gone, she told the Transcript on Thursday afternoon. Prior to the vote on Thursday, June 16, Chalifoux spoke

Before hundreds of plastic ducks were dropped from Dedhams Bridge Street into the Charles River on Saturday, Molly Jordan, 8, asked her mom a question. What if the ducks dont move in the duck race? she asked during the Neponset Valley Sunrise Rotary Clubs ninth annual Duck Race. Then would they put
a fan to make them move? Luckily, Mollys worries were never realized. As soon as the race began, hundreds of ducks tumbled into the river and within in 10 minutes they reached the finish line without any help. We think its great, Mollys mom and Dedham resident Ann Jordan said of Saturdays event held at Riverdale Park.

in favor of Lambert. She may have been a little acerbic, a little prickly, he said. But she is also highly qualified. He argued that the library as a whole is in for a a very rough year. Even now, trying to figure out where to get money for pages, he said. All things considered, I think we ought to consider her reemployment in a positive manner. Trustee chairman Joe DAmico explained Lambert asked the board to vote on a contract renewal, and according to her contract this needed to be done not more than 13 months but no less than 12 months from when her contract expires.
He reiterated that the vote has absolutely nothing to do with the selectmens meeting or anything else, referring to a contentious June 9 meeting.
Sparks at the library
The bidding process the trustees used to hire a consultant to produce a longrange strategic plan for the library came under fire at the Thursday, June 9, selectmens meeting. Selectmen said at the meeting that they were surprised to discover trustees were taking on more responsibilities than they should At the trustees meeting in May, the board voted 4-1 to accept the bid of the one person who responded to the statement of work. Chalifoux distributed the statement to hire someone to pro-

duce the five-year strategic plan. The library has $25,000 in mitigation funds to use, and it hired well-regarded library consultant Nancy Rhea for less than $20,000. Its possible she could also do a second item, the 10-year vision, Chalifoux told the Transcript in March. The town administrator is currently reviewing the long-range plan, Chalifoux said at the June 16 meeting. The spotlight has also been on the library after the firing and immediate un-firing of three pages. Amber Socci, who supervises the pages, sent termination letters to the three on Monday, May 16. Lambert explained she didnt fire the pages because the person you report to lets you go. Trustee Rebecca Peluso read the letter at the June 16 meeting. She noted the termination letter wasnt on town or library letterhead. It is with regret that I write to tell you that as of June 22 the library can no longer employ you, she read. Due to financial constraints, the library has made the decision to reduce the page budget. It has been my pleasure to work with you and I wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Peluso asked Lambert who instructed Socci to send out the letter. Lambert responded that she was following direction from me. My question is, why werent you doing it? Peluso asked. Because they dont report to me, Lambert responded. I dont feel that, thats Peluso said and Lambert interrupted, Then write your
policy because that is how its always been I dont even know who half the pages are if they work down here (at the Endicott branch). Peluso fired back, you dont know who the pages are? I dont hire them, Lambert said, adding that there used to be 12. Peluso questioned how often Lambert visited the Endicott Branch of the Library. Very rarely, Lambert said. Very rarely do you come and oversee part of your library? Peluso asked. Trustee Brad Bauer said bylaws for the library say, You need the boards permission to lay people off or to hire people. That very clear in the town bylaws. The trustees voted to create a policy dealing with terminations. Peluso said she would like to have all termination letters on town letterhead. With the three pages being unfired, Bauer turned the meeting to how the library should fund the positions for fiscal 2012. Lambert objected to taking money from overtime, travel and professional development. Bauer said the money, an estimated $12,000, could be moved from the state aid line item to cover the three page positions.
Whats next?
With her contract for the next 12 months under negotiation, Lambert said shes learned to just be in the moment. The next library trustee meeting is Monday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the main library on Church Street.

CLOTHES CALL AT LEGACY PLACE

Locals kick up their heels at Sex and the City 2 event at Showcase Cinema De Lux
By Andrea Salisbury and Julie M. Cohen
STAFF WRITERS
Walking with poise in a pair of towering green heels from Aldo, store manager Cassandra Cavalieri modeled her stores wares last Thursday at Showcase Cinema De Lux at Legacy Place, greeting Sex and the City fans at the opening night of the sequel. Aldo was just one of the shops at the open-air mall located along the Providence Highway in Dedham to showcase its spring line at the fashion event in the lobby of the cinema. Joan Jolley, director of marketing and business development for Legacy Place, said over 40 shops participated in the fashion event that included raffles, modeling, and free makeovers. But, like the HBO series, the focus was on the clothes, she said. This is a way to show off the clothes, Jolley said. Even people who work (at Legacy Place) dont know whats here. A few hours before the evening festivities, the newly opened Salon Capri, with a second location in Newton, was abuzz as neighboring store employees took a break from the sales counter to get glammed up for the fashion show. Stylist Jamie Champagne, of Boston, has been working as a hairdresser for eight years, and admitted that she was looking forward to doing something not conventional, for the Sex and the City fashion event. For her first up-do of the day, Champagne curled and pulled back Kara Murphys dirty blond hair. Looking at her from across the room, Champagne explained Murphy has shoulder-length hair and isnt used to something so short. Murphy, of the Paper Store, couldnt hold back the smiles. I am up for anything, the Dedham resident said when asked how she was chosen to model for the store. My boss asked me and I said sure. Amy Penna, owner of Salon Capri, said stylists at her newly open salon at Legacy Place, had at least 15 up-dos booked for the fashion event. As her hair was being pampered, Rebecca Stein, director of marketing for National Amusements, said she was excited for the nights festivities. She said the cinema de lux was the perfect place to see Sex and the City 2. Where else can you can have your drink and watch the movie? she asked. When the clock struck 5, the lobby of the cinema was transformed into a fashion extravaganza. With waiters offering free appetizers and models weaving through the crowds of mostly women, many stopped to have their photograph with a cutout of Carrie Bradshaw (aka Sarah Jessica Parker) or to enter one of the many raffles. Gap employees Abdoul Cisse, 20, of Roslindale; Maria Simone, 20, of Dedham; and Kate Budzilko, 22, of Stoughton all strutted their stuff in store garb for the event. Simone, daringly dressed in
a bathing suit under a white tunic, said it was no big deal to her to don beachwear for the show. And, compared to some of the outfits worn during the movie, her clothes were quite modest. At Salon Capris station set up near the Studio 3 restaurant and bar, hairstylists were busy curling, twisting, gelling, primping, spraying and styling coifs for all who wanted to try out an instant new do. Across the lobby, Beauty and Main offered free makeovers to complete the look. Darlene Fuller, of Florida, was visiting the area and came to the event since she was a fan of the show. I love those girls theyre sassy, she said while getting some new curls at the Salon Capri station. Her daughter, Keyona Fuller, was also getting her hair curled for the movie. With wide eyes, Keyona said she loves Sex and the City and owns all the TV episodes. Sitting on another pedestal having her hair styled was Oakley store manager Courtney Boudreau, 28, of Rhode Island. When asked if she liked the show and the first movie, Boudreau said, yes, obviously I am a girl. Yet not all models were enthusiastic about the new movie. Oakley employee Griffin Walker, of Norfolk, said he was asked that day to model the eyewear. I showed up for work, printed a sign (with the stores name on it) and here I am, he said. When asked if he was a Sex and the City fan, Walker shrugged and said Why not? Dedham Transcript editor Andrea Salisbury can be reached at 781-433-8322 or asalisbu@cnc.com.

DEDHAM SQUARE COUNTRY STORE
Going local year round

Sunday market features treats, sweets and meats

Tip leads to the arrest of robbery suspect

Police say Georgia woman was staying at the Fairfield Inn
By Edward B. Colby
STAFF WRITER
Greg Agnew had a plan to pick up where the popular summer farmers markets left off and make sure everyone is still warm. All it took was a little patience, a lot of time and some elbow grease. I saw the enthusiasm of the summer farmers market and wanted to continue it throughout the year, the 22-year-old said, standing at the back of the Odd Fellows Hall as customers moved around the room picking up breads, cocoa mixes and preserves. Weve been working on it since November with concepts, ideas, labor. It is an intensive project. It has been a journey. With new floors and a fresh coat of paint, the Westwood resident has worked with the landlords, Dedhams branch of the Independent Order-Odd Fellows, on High Street to fit his needs for the indoor country market. Overall it had been late nights, he said. Going from work to here, to bed and then to work by 7 the next morning. Michael Froimowitz, building committee chairman for the Odd Fellows, said the market has been a perfect fit for the spot and the Square as the farmers market is good for the entire community, he said. In its second month, the Dedham Square Country Store has seen a steady stream of Sunday shoppers looking for all-natural, fresh, local food, Agnew said. And with new local vendors popping up each week it isnt a wonder why. Manning the table closest to the door, Agnews father, also named Greg, makes a promise. Thats going to be the best cherry preserve you ever tasted, he said to a customer, who ended up buying a case of jelly and preserves. The senior Greg Agnew runs LemonThyme Farm in Hanson and said that he is his own best customer, as he eats everything he sells. I know what goes in them, he said with a smile. At the next table, Ed Lawton of Lawtons Family Farms, 70 North St. in Foxborough, boasts that his cheese spread has a non-processed taste and a bite of lemon. Lawton said that the farm is one of five surviving dairy farms in Norfolk County and has been in his family for seven generations. Continuing with the family theme, Dartmouths Ed Jacobs said his wife decided a few years back to follow her dream and start a granola company. With flavors like Fig n Nuts, Jammin, A Choc-work Orange, and Mac Daddy, Jacobs says The Best Damn Granola Companys natural granola is packed with attitude and taste. The Best Damn Granola is cooked in small batches in a shared-use kitchen in Dartmouth. According to its Web site, the Dartmouth Grange shared-used kitchen is rented out to local farms for cooking, cleaning and food preparation. Perhaps the biggest draw of the afternoon was Arlingtonbased Best Friends Cocoa. In her

Bread, cheese, granola and jams were just some of the locally made products available at the Dedham Square Country Store in the Odd Fellows Hall on High Street. Below, Monika Wilkinson of Dedham checks out Best Damn Granolas offerings.

cocoa colors, Linda Guttman, the queen of cocoa, said she doesnt know why people dont drink her product year-round. If people drink coffee in February, why cant they have cocoa in May? she asked while readjusting the display of Marshmallow Cloud, Raspberry Truffle and Cinnamon Twist. Guttman said she once worked as a massage therapist and would offer the cocoa to her clients. Then one year when she went to place an order, Guttman said she discovered they were going out of business. So she bought the company. Six years later, her cocoa is sold in grocery stores nationwide. But Guttman is still the biggest fan, starting each morning with a cup of Cinnamon Twist, ending the day with Raspberry Truffle and filling in the gaps with a mug of Marshmallow Cloud. She said the Dedham Square Country Store has been wonderful. There is no place in Dedham where you can get this variety, she said, gesturing to the other vendors. Everything is really top notch. The younger Greg Agnew agreed. He said he hopes the
Police said an anonymous tipster led them to the Fairfield Inn last weekend to arrest a 24-year-old Georgia woman wanted for armed robbery taking her into custody after they used a ruse to get a male companion out of their hotel room. Samantha Sanford of 52 Shope Ridge Road in Ringgold, Ga. was arrested and given a charge of fugitive from justice on a court warrant, said Lt. Robert Nedder. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in Dedham District Court last Monday, and is due back there for a status hearing March 30, but could be picked up by Georgia authorities in the meantime. Nedder said that last Saturday Detective Robert Walsh spoke with someone from the Norfolk House of Correction who had received an anonymous phone call telling him that a woman named Sanford was staying at the Fairfield Inn, at 235 Elm St. The caller said Sanford was wanted for an armed robbery in Dalton, Ga., and that she would be with a black man named Ramon, Nedder said. Dalton is the Carpet Capital of the World. The small town of Ringgold a little farther up I-75 in northwest Georgia is where the famed Great Locomotive Chase of the Civil War ended in 1862. Walsh got in touch with a Dalton detective, who gave him all the personal identifying information for Sanford and a color booking photo from 2007, Nedder said. When Walsh and two other Dedham police officers went to the Fairfield Inn on Saturday, the hotel had no record of Sanford or any man named Ramon, Nedder said. But on Sunday, a hotel manager phoned
Walsh and told him that on Friday police had actually been called there for a domestic dispute between a white woman and black man. But when police went there that day, the couple was gone, Nedder said. The manager told Walsh the room was under the name of Samantha Wynn. After speaking with Georgia authorities again, Walsh found out that Sanford had previously been married and that her married name was Samantha Wynn, Nedder said. At about 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, five officers went back to the Fairfield Inn to begin surveillance of the room she was supposed to be in, Nedder said. They used a ruse and were able to draw the male party out of the room, Nedder said. That man, Ramon Walker, 37, of 1850 Washington St. in Boston, was detained in the stairwell, he said. Walsh and Detective Daniel Panciocco then went to the room and knocked on the door, which was answered by Sanford, who was taken into custody without incident, according to Nedder. Walker had a Social Security card with a different name, and claimed he was that person, also 37 years old, Nedder said. But police called numbers in his phone and were able to identify him as Ramon Walker, and saw that he had the number 6 tattooed on the left side of his neck, just as Boston Police had told them, Nedder said. The suspect eventually said his name was Ramon Walker and that he had outstanding warrants, Nedder said. Walker has one warrant from Plymouth Superior Court for cocaine trafficking, and four warrants for breaking and entering into a building in the daytime, according to Nedder. Two of those warrants are from West Roxbury District Court, one is from Quincy District Court, and one is from Suffolk Superior Court, he said. Dedham Transcript staff writer Edward B.

Q&A WITH CHRISTOPHER DIRAFFAELE
Scout thinks out of the box

or his Eagle Scout project Dedham resident Christopher Diraffaele, 17, has placed handmade wooden boxes around town in a collection effort for The Home for Little Wanderers. The Dedham High senior hopes to collect 300 toiletry items, 75 used or new DVDs and 100 books for children. Items will be collected through April 4. He has received cash donations from the Dedham Odd Fellows, BJs Wholesale Club, Sams Club and Wal-mart. He recently sat down with the Dedham Transcript to talk about his Eagle Scout project.
Christopher Diraffaele is a Boy Scout with Dedham Troop 8. For his Eagle Scout project, he is collecting items for The Home for Little Wanderers. WICKED LOCAL STAFF PHOTO BY
ANDREA SALISBURY
What is your Eagle Scout Project? It is a donation collection project for the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston. What I am trying to collect is used DVDs, childrens books and basic toiletry items like toothpaste, toothbrushes and shampoo. In a few weeks, I will collect all the boxes in a day and then bring the donation to the house. Where are the collection bins? We have one at the Dedham Public Library, the Blue
Bunny, Dedham Community Theatre, Dedham High School and the Riverdale School. The boxes will soon be at the Town Hall and the Endicott Branch Library. What made you decided to do a donation collection? My mom gave me the idea and it really expanded from there. My grandfather went to The Home for Little Wanderers, so it is a thank you in some way. What was your favorite moment in your Boy Scout career? Learning how to tie my shoes.
Its true; I learned how to tie my shoes in Boy Scouts. And, having a pet toad. What is the importance of being an Eagle Scout? People look up to Eagle Scouts. When people think of Eagle Scouts they think you are a good leader and that you know what to do when things get sticky.

TEDDY BEAR TEA
ONLINE NOW AT
Sharing memories of Maureen

By Andrea Salisbury
Seventy six stuffed animals spilled over the playpen. Olivia and Isabel Haglund pointed to their favorites, a giant pink teddy bear and small brown bear. But these animals wont join their personal collection. Instead, the Norwood sisters will be donating them to the Boston Childrens Hospital and Norwood Hospital, just as they did last year. On Saturday, March 10, the Haglund sisters hosted the second annual Teddy Bear Tea in memory of their aunt Maureen Mink. She died in September of 2010 from pancreatic cancer. She was from West Boylston. She used to bring us to the teddy bear tea at the Ritz (Carlton in Boston), Olivia, 12, said on Sunday, the day after the tea. Olivia explained that the bears collected there would then be donated to the hospital. When (Mink) died we wanted to do something special. The girls decided to host a tea at their home on Chapel Street in honor of their aunt and invite friends and family. It is something that even though she is gone we can still do something, Olivia said. We can still remember her and how much she gave to people.

Mink was the oldest of 12 explained their dad and Minks brother, Brian Haglund. She never had kids of her own, but was an auntie to everybody. Olivia said for her fourth birthday, her Auntie Maureen rented a van and invited her cousins, from both sides, to a day of makeovers on Newbury Street. I was two so I had to say at home, while they were all out, Isabel remarked. Guests to the tea typically include many of Minks friends and relatives. This year the event was held from 2 to 4 p.m. and over 70 people attuned. Each person brought a stuffed animal. Preparing for the tea can be crazy, said their mom Jennifer Bradley. The girls make sure to incorporate as many of Minks favorite things into the day. Swedish pepparkakor cookies are bought at her favorite bakery in Worcester and the house is decorated with calla lilies. Even the party favors, small bags of M&Ms, have a connection to Mink. My sister would always come with a bag of M&M for the (girls), Brian said and added that MM was also her initials.

She used to think the blue ones were minty, Olivia smiled. The girls prepared finger sandwiches with options for both kids and adults. Then there is the tea. Olivia and Isabel have received a teacup every birthday from an aunt, so between them they have a good collection. This year several of Minks teacups were added to their supply. Guests are encouraged to sign a book and add a special message. They hope to use the same book every year. Toward the end of the party, the girls count the bears. Isabel said the counting was her favorite part. We sit on the couch and
they just put them all around us and they count, the 10year-old explained. Then all you can see your head sticking out of the pile. The girls said they plan to continue the Teddy Bear Tea tradition. Olivia added that she would also like to do more to help cancer research. The day can be emotionally hard, but also a good way to remember their aunt who always served dessert before dinner because you might run out of room.

Two pedestrians were hit while crossing Washington Street on Thursday, March 8, according to police. Police said three people were crossing Washington Street about 11:15 p.m., trying to get to a pub, but they were not in the crosswalk, according to our newspartners at WCVB. One of the victims, a 23year-old woman suffered traumatic head injures, and her boyfriend was also taken to a Boston hospital with after he made sure one of the friends was not hit. There was three of them crossing the street and he pushed one of them to safety, said Norwood police offi-
cer Kevin Grasso. She was OK, but was distraught and shaken. The driver did stop, and police said it did not appear that speeding was a factor. She did not see the pedestrians crossing the road. She said it was due to it being dark. That road is lit. I dont know why she didnt see them, Grasso said. According to police reports, Norwood Officer Paul Zorzi spoke with the driver of the 2002 Toyota sedan that hit the pedestrians. She told police that she hadnt been drinking or speeding, according to reports. The car had damage to the driver side front end and the driver side windshield and the passenger side headline.

Police: Drug deal ends in car crash at a softball field

Cops say Roslindale man had 41 grams of cocaine
By Edward B. Colby
STAFF WRITER
After a hand-to-hand drug deal and car chase that ended at the middle school softball field, a 24-year-old Roslindale man was arrested last Saturday on cocaine trafficking charges, police said. At 5:55 p.m., last Saturday, Officer Kevin Mahoney was in an unmarked car, monitoring traffic where drug activity had been recently reported. During this time, Mahoney saw a brown, older-model Nissan Maxima pass him, Nedder said. Mahoney started to follow the slow-moving Maxima later identified as a 2000 model and after running its license plate and speaking with other officers, Mahoney discovered that the owner had been involved in some other drug investigations, Nedder said. The Maxima entered the parking lot of the Dedham Hilton, where Mahoney saw an individual approach the side of the car and participate in a hand-to-hand drug deal, Nedder said. Both people left the parking lot, and Mahoney asked for marked cruisers to stop both vehicles, Nedder said. One officer pulled behind the Maxima with his blue lights flashing, and the car stopped just before leaving Allied Drive,
though the officer noticed the suspect did not take his foot off the pedal, Nedder said. When the officer put his cruiser into park, the suspect drove off, he added. In the ensuing chase, police followed the driver, later identified as John Jimenez, of 8 Kittredge St. Apt. 9 in Roslindale, as he went north on Rte. 128, then immediately exited onto Providence Highway heading into Dedham, Nedder said. Lt. Detective Francis Bielawski tried to stop the Maxima on Elm Street, but Jimenez drove up on the sidewalk to avoid his car, and tried to push Bielawskis car out of his way as he went around it, according to Nedder. The pursuit continued on East and Jefferson streets, among others, before Jimenez drove back onto a sidewalk on Whiting Avenue to avoid Bielawskis car again, Nedder said. After that maneuver at Abbott Road, Jimenez came off the sidewalk and back onto Whiting Avenue, followed by Officer John Barrett, Nedder said. Jimenez hit Barretts cruiser, then lost control of the Maxima, which jumped over the curb on the opposite side of the street and went through the fence surrounding the softball field, he said. The car came to rest in the fence and got hung up on the wall with
its wheels spinning, Nedder added. About 20 feet of the fence and 15 feet of the stone wall were damaged, according to the police log. But the chase was not over. Jimenez ran from his car, but officers quickly caught up to him, Nedder said. Jimenez resisted arrest and during the struggle, Barrett noticed that he was holding a tennis ball-sized bag of white powder in his right hand, which he threw, Nedder said. Jimenez continued to hold several smaller baggies of white powder in his hand, he added. Police found bags containing 41 grams of cocaine worth about $3200 with John Jimenez, of 8 Kittredge St. Apt. 9 in Roslindale said Lt. Robert Nedder. Besides the drug offense, Jimenez was also charged with possession of a Class B drug in a school zone, reckless driving, failure to stop for police, resisting arrest, and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, to wit motor vehicle, Nedder said. The Roslindale man had not yet been arraigned in Dedham District Court as of 12:30 p.m. Monday, Nedder said. Dedham Transcript staff writer Edward B.

gressive ideals. An organized group has formed to encourage Wu, who held a leadership role in the Needham for Obama group, to run for the U.S. House of Representatives. The movement began after Lynch made it clear that he would not support the national health-care bill that eventually passed. Wu has pulled papers for a potential run, and the group said it is working to receive enough signatures to put her on the ballot. But Wu, who has never held a political office aside from Town Meeting, has yet to decide if she will run. People are trying to get me to campaign, Wu said. I am considering if I want to be a candidate. There are some serious questions to related to what this means to me personally and my family. The support for a run for a U.S. Representative seat in the 9th Congressional District, which includes Needham and Lynchs residence in South Boston, stemmed from frustration with Lynchs position against the national health-care bill that went before the House earlier this week, Wu said. Ive been working for a year to get Congress to pass a good health-care bill, Wu said. Weve
Moe Handel
been in contact with Lynch as constituents and I met with him in his office, and it was clear he was setting himself up to vote No. Wu also felt Lynchs office failed to articulate the reason for his vote. With this feeling that were not able to get through with this Congressman on this vital issue, the idea of if hes not going to do it, someone should, developed, Wu said. People mobilized around the idea of challenging Lynch for not supporting progressive values they hold. A Facebook page entitled Draft Harmony Wu has popped up, and there was a push to collect signatures for a potential run in South Boston. As of Wednesday, she has not collected enough signatures. Whether I decide to do it myself or not, this progressive feeling, this momentum, shows there could be serious contenders for Lynch, Wu said. Im honored and stunned at the energy. Wu, who was an instructor at Emerson College and published a book on media and culture, was the campaign manager for Needham Selectman Moe Han-
del when he ran for the vacated seat last year. He feels Wu would be a viable candidate. I think shed do a great job, Handel said. She has lots of energy, shes very intelligent and has great values. She works very hard. Sarah Compton, who has worked on several campaigns, including being President Barack Obamas field director in Massachusetts, said word got out very quickly when Wu pulled papers and the Facebook page soon went up. Compton is among the people who are organizing an effort to support a potential run. Harmony is a highly respected activist in her district and across the state for her Obama work and the healthcare campaign, Compton said. (The effort) is an acknowledgement of their respect for Harmony. Compton said the Facebook group has received volumes and volumes of e-mails from people who want to help. The group has a link to donate to a potential campaign on the Facebook page. Money is coming in and people are asking how they can contribute, Compton said. Were doing anything we can to support Harmony and her decision-making process. We hope she decides to do this. Phil Dunkelbarger, an independent who ran against Lynch as a Democrat in 2006, and Keith Lepor, a Republican, have already announced their candidacies for Lynchs seat.
Jenny Crisp and Claudia Abou-Hamad will spend two days in May walking 39 miles as two breast friends. The Dedham High graduates said coming up with a team name was easy. Theyve been friends since middle school. We were trying to get other people on our team but no one was really committing, Crisp, 21, said. So we decided to just be Two Breast Friends. In their hot pink shirts, the friends will hit the streets of Boston in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer on May 15 to 16. The walk, which starts and ends at UMass-Boston, requires every participant to raise $1,800. As a team, Crisp and Abou-Hamad said they are almost halfway there. While they have until the start of the event to fundraise, Abou-Hamad said it is important they get enough cash because if we dont raise it, we cant walk. And walking is something the friends are determined to do. Crisp, a nursing major at St. Josephs College in Maine, has a personal reason for participating in the Avon Walk. Her aunt, 1977 Dedham High graduate Linda Rando-Stuart,
found a lump in her breast last year. I always wanted to do a breast cancer walk because you hear about it the most, Crisp said. Now that it is in my family, I wanted to do it more. Crisp said her aunt has undergone surgery, many months of chemotherapy and radiation treatment to remove the lump. She has lost all the hair on her head, eyelashes and eyebrows, Crisp wrote in her fundraising letter. Rando-Stuart is a hairdresser. One of her prize possessions is her hair and it was awful to see her lose it all. She looked more beautiful than ever, though, in all the different types of wigs she wore. Throughout all of this she never lost her spirit once. She took this diagnosis head-on. Abou-Hamad, an education major at Bridgewater State College, said through the walk, she is hoping to teach women her age about breast cancer.
I dont think there is enough awareness for people our age, Abou-Hamad, 21, said. We are trying to bring awareness to them and once we participate in the walk we will know a lot more. In addition to screenings, treatment, support services and research, the funds raised through the Avon walk go toward education, according to its Web site. Nationwide, the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer raised more than $265 million from 2003 through 2008, according to a press release. With close to 180,000 women in the United States diagnosed with breast cancer, the Two Breast Friends say now is the time to find a cure. You just dont know when you are going to get it, Crisp said. No one thought my aunt was going to get it and then a lump just randomly showed up.

Two town department heads laid out a road paving plan that could cost the town $6.5 million over the next three years. Director of Engineering Jason Mammone and Public Works Director Joseph Flanagan presented the plan to selectmen on Thursday, March 2. The proposal looks at the towns $15.7 million worth of needed road re-
pairs. Major roads being rebuilt, a process called reclamation, this year are Eastern Avenue between High Street and Route 1, High Street between Ames Street and 250 feet north of Eastern Avenue and Washington Street between High and School Streets a total of 2,211 feet of road. A list of 23 smaller roads will also be reclaimed, making up 22,854 feet of road. The remaining 7,596 feet of
road in this years plan will undergo either overlay or preventative maintenance. Subsequent years in the plan will increasingly deal with more minor roads and shift from preventative to routine maintenance. Pavement condition index score averages improved from 70 to 79 out of a possible 100 over the past five years of the plan, according to Mammone. With

something creative, Harper said. There can be an elephant but an elephant cant talk. And there can be monkeys but there cant be purple monkeys. Standing on one side of the room, Barrington-Haber watched as the actors found their places. As with most dress rehearsals, at times the room is chaotic. But then, the music starts and everyone finds a groove. There have been so many parts of this play where the actors come through and when it happens there is this amazing energy, BarringtonHaber said. My favorite part so far is when the entire cast comes out in the beginning, and what makes it is their energy and their enthusiasm. This is the fifth Parish Player show that producer Virginia Hickey-Ferentinos has been a part of, the first being The Wizard of Oz in 2007. She said the group has taken some creative liberties with the characters and points out actor Jim Parr who will portray the famous elephant Horton. Parr, wearing gray coveralls and a knit cap explained that the trunk, ears, tail and size are all in the imagination of the audience. Working on a shoestring budget, the Parish Players got creative with its costumes. Becca (Hutton) said bring in your old T-shirts and she made these feathers, HickeyFerentinos said and gestured to the colorful strips of fabric attached to the Bird Girls and Chicklettes. Costume designer Hutton said she had thought about going with boas but it wouldnt be Dr. Seuss. In matching red T-shirts and ripped jeans, Jim Duncan and Wyatt Staton-Todaro warned the audience of the Wickersham Brothers Bouncing back and fourth the two explained the four mischievous characters. We are these blue monkeys who seek trouble. We make trouble. We make fun of Horton. And steal many things. We are just all around hooligans, and then just as they appeared the boys bounced off to backstage. The musical of familiar stories has something for everyone, said BarringtonHaber.
The cast rehearsed for the show at the First Church and Parish in Dedham on Monday, March 26.
Harper Staton-Todaro will portray a Bird Girl in the musical
I would ask the audience to look for something that they can personally relate to, some struggle that they have gone through because the whole play is about personal struggle and either changing yourself or learning something about yourself or sticking to your guns and hoping that the people around you will change, she said. I think there is really something here that people can look forward to. As the cast and crew prepared for its 17th performance, many reflected on their past director. Diane Winchester was a director, musical teacher, and
a one woman whirlwind, said Hickey-Ferentinos. Winchester died in February 2011. Her last performance with the players was Godspell. Although a year has passed, by starting a new show, it is the first year doing it without her, Meg Duncan said. At the beginning especially there was some reawakening of the feelings of loss. Anne Schiraga will portray Matilda Moose in the upcoming musical. She said that Winchesters spirit is a part of everything in the theater. When I feel like things are really tough, Schiraga said, I can see her saying, Just try it again. The cast has pulled together, Hickey-Ferentinos said, but remembers that every moment in this pro-

TOWN HALL, 4
As Dedham officials have worked their way through demanding fiscal times the last few years, the 2011 budget has loomed as an even tougher obstacle. So when Town Administrator William Keegan presented his plan for the upcoming year, this was a somewhat surprising takeaway: 2011 should not be so bad. Giving his annual budget message last week, Keegan said that by and large fiscal 2011 has indeed turned out to be one of the most difficult years to prepare for. But through conservative planning by many boards, departments and his administration, Dedham is in one of the more enviable positions heading into the year, Keegan said. We anticipate having a balanced budget on July 1, 2010. Many of our collective bargaining agreements will be settled. The town is continuing to improve its capital infrastruc-

bby Jenest says she was already making bead bracelets at home with her mom before an earthquake struck Haiti but the tragedy prompted her to take her craft to another level. After the mid-January disaster, I
watched a video (online), and I got really upset, so I asked my mom if we could do something, said Jenest, 10, who is in fourth grade at the Oakdale School. Two weeks of brisk recess sales later, that something a temporary bracelet shop set up in the Oakdale principals office added up to one big donation, topping $850, for Haiti re-
lief efforts. Besides the video, which she watched on Yahoo, the young fundraiser was motivated by the really pretty bracelets she saw her moms friend selling at Uniquely Global. Those were $10, so Jenest and her mother thought of selling theirs

A Dedham mans auto repairs went awry last Tuesday when a car he was trying to jump-start caught fire, with the blaze spreading from his garage to a room above it, a deputy fire chief said. The fire at 87 Booth Road started at 10:30 a.m. in the garage, which is attached to the house. When it was over, it had left roughly $200,000 in damage to the building and its contents, including two vehicles that were totaled, said Deputy Fire Chief John Fontaine. He said the man doing repairs was the only person home when the fire began, and that no one was injured. The man is staying with relatives, Fontaine added. Edward B. Colby

Dedham teen Laura Diraffaele will compete in July in the National American Miss pageant. This will be her third pageant.
Her eyes danced from word to word as she recited, in one breath, her introduction speech. I know every day will bring another challenge, but I am ready for whatever comes my way and I would be honored to be your 2010 National American Miss, Miss Massachusetts Junior Teen representing this state at the national pageant. I am Laura Diraffaele and I am a girl with dreams, the 14-year-old Dedham High student smiled and closed her purple binder with the National American Miss label. The Fourth of July weekend will be Lauras third National American Miss competition, and she has been planning for almost a year.

When the pageant ended (last year), I was like, I want to do this next year, she said, opening her binder again and pointing to her speech. That next week I was already writing all this. Looking back, Laura said it was on a whim that she even got involved in National American Miss. One day we got a postcard in the mail that said, would you like to join the pageant? she said. It was a $20 entrance fee and if you didnt get in you would get $20 back. We figured, might as well see what happens. So we sent it in and we got a letter back saying, Congratulations, you are a state finalist. The first year, everything was rushed, said her mother, Linda Diraffaele. They got the acceptance late and had to fundraise to cover the $440 sponsorship fee, hotel cost and additional fees for each competition. But the friendships and confidence gained from the whirlwind weekend, Laura said, was worth the stress. When we first started it was a $20 fee and I was like, oh, what the heck, Linda said. And its turned into something that she really, really I love it, Laura said, taking over. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has helped me to build confidence and I am not afraid to speak up in front of people. People used to bully me a lot. Now its like, No, I am done with this, I am not taking this anymore. Laura insists that National American Miss isnt a beauty pageant. It is about being yourself and it shows you how unique you are, she said. Who you are on the inside and not just beauty on the outside. The confidence gained is the big perk of participating in the pageant, Laura said. The statewide competition is spread out over three days and is held at the Marriott in Burlington. National American Miss has six different pageants depending on age, but the competition format is the same. The required com-

petitions include formal wear, personal introduction, interview and community involvement. In addition, girls can
enter different competitions for a $50 fee, including casual wear and talent. Prizes include cash, passes to Disney-
Land and college scholarships. With this being her third year, Linda said they only had to pay half of the $440 for the sponsorship fee, but Laura still needs to raise $600 to cover the hotel, a new dress a formal purple number from Davids Bridal and the additional contest fees that are $50 each. Laura is doing it all herself. She wants this. I said youve got to raise the money, Linda said. So that is what she is doing. She is sacrificing every Sunday to help sell raffle tickets. From going door to door with a donation cup, to selling flowers and raffle tickets at the Dedham Square Country Market, to putting donation cups out at local businesses, the Riverside Drive teenager has been hard at work. Ive made about $100-
something so far, just doing all the fundraisers Ive been doing, Laura said. Last year we put out donation cups at a few businesses and I got $50 last year from that. We put them out at (places like) The Blue Bunny and Dedham House of Pizza. Every little bit helps, Linda added as Laura jumped from the table to search for her contest ribbons from the previous years. Her trophies are proudly displayed on her bedroom shelf next to a giant poster of Edward Cullen from the movie Twilight. She couldnt find the ribbons, but explained while her mom went on the hunt that the trophies and thank you cards were from her first year as a contestant. She was awarded the National American Miss sash and tiara last year for selling a page of ads. One page of ads,
Laura said, means youve reached the gold level. This year, she plans to reach diamond level nine pages of ads. For the state competition, the National American Miss program book is divided by region and contestant. The girls have until May to sell ad spots for local businesses. The ads start at $60 for a business card size and go up from there. Every page in the book can fit 10 business card-size ads. Laura explained that businesses can also combine their sponsorship efforts for a single ad and the National American Miss design staff can customize the advertisement. Pointing to an ornate quarter-page ad from last year for Dedhams 50s Diner, Linda explained that the diner gave them the logo and the words and the design team did the rest. Laura hasnt started selling ads for this years program yet, but plans to hit up businesses soon. The whole pageant theme is just such a wonderful opportunity to see her grow and mature. I would just love to see the entire town get behind her, Linda said, pointing to the various community efforts Laura has done with the Girl Scouts. It would be a good way for the community to help her out, because she is going to be representing Dedham. Linda turned to smile at her daughter who was thumbing through her National American Miss binder. There is really no one word that can describe this pageant, Linda said. Laura chimed in, Its like Im a girl with dreams and I have something I want to work for and accomplish through this pageant.

and bullied in school. What happened out there in South Hadley, thats every parents nightmare, every communitys nightmare, but its also every school committee and every superintendents nightmare as well, said Thomas Ryan. The Dedham school board devoted two hours of its meeting last week to bullying and cyberbullying, with nearly every principal speaking about the programs they have in place to prevent and deal with the abuse. After more than 90 minutes of discussion, parent Laurie Reisner came to the podium, asking the board to consider forming another subcommittee to review the policies that you have in place, take a very close look at them, and see if there is anything that we can do to improve them. Reisner brought up bullying at a School Committee meeting in July 2007, and then participated in a subcommittee that put new policies in place. For example, each incident of bullying is supposed to be documented. It seems like that is being done, Reisner said. Levels of punishment are supposed to be used, so that the same bully cant continue to wreak havoc on fellow stu-
dents without the consequences reaching a higher level, she added. That, I think, is a concern parents still have: what exactly is being done, how much do you really step it up, and whats the point where it get stepped up? School officials said repeatedly that they use progressive discipline as they respond to bullying with corrective actions including detention, suspension, community service, and education for bullies to try

and ward off future incidents. The State House bill was approved by the Joint Committee on Education and is now before the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. The comprehensive measure would prohibit bullying at all school facilities; at schoolsponsored or school-related functions; on school buses; through school technology and electronic devices; and, importantly, at non-school-related locations and through
non-school technology or electronic devices, if the bullying affects the school environment. Its noting that it isnt just devices owned by the school, but through personal devices if indeed the bullying affects the school environment, said Superintendent of Schools June Doe. And, of course, I think every principal here can attest to the fact that thats what life in school is today, just an expansion of electronic devices. I think its good language, and I wish a speedy vote on this. State Rep. Paul McMurtry, D-Dedham, said the most significant focus of the legislation is just the act of prevention, and really to help children understand to be more respectful of each other. He said one negative aspect of the bill is that the school districts will be required to have and implement a bullying prevention plan for every student every year. The Senate passed an antibullying bill last session, but it was never voted on in the House. McMurtry said he hoped the House would take a final vote on this new bill in April. Its something that the speaker, Senate president and the governor are all supporting, and in favor of, and I would imagine that the action wouldnt be delayed, he said.

ixteen years ago Deham held its first Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis, and Kelly Doucette and Karen Erasmi took the reins in its second year. Its a really fun family day, Doucette, 34, told the Dedham Transcript. It is a real quick walk and a great day. It is all about family. A very dedicated and loyal committee organizes the event that features food from the Chuck Wagon and music from disc jockey Patrick Lally at South Shore Entertainment. Doucette said the upcoming walk on May 22 will be the last one she helps organize, but I will still go the walk. She recently shared with the Transcript her favorite moments from past Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis and her experiences.
Q Do you have a favorite team? A I really dont they are all
great. We have teams that are from Dedham and then we have others that travel from Weymouth, Mansfield, Westwood, and even as far away as New Hampshire. All the teams show up in T-shirts with their team names on them. Its quite spectacular to see them gather on the Endicott Estate grounds and then take off.
Dedham Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis will take place on Sunday, May 22 at the Endicott Estate. FILE PHOTO Q What are other highlights of the day? A We have a cookout spon-
ple. This is a walk for all ages, its 4.2 miles and a bus follows along the route and will pick people up if they cant finish.
Q In the years youve helped to organize this, what was the best moment? A Honestly, I dont have a
Q How many participants do you have walking this year? A Hopefully we will have
continued momentum and be right around 1,000 peo-
best moment the entire day is just wonderful. From getting there at 7 a.m. and
seeing the volunteers arrive to when the walkers start to arrive along with more volunteers. The next thing you know the Endicott Estate is packed with all different colored T-shirts representing 20-25 different teams and the music is playing, tents are up, grills are smoking, kids running around, the energy is so fun and its truly something amazing especially if
Mother Nature is on our side.

Q: Why should someone get involved, either by walking or supporting a team? A Simple, its a great cause
and scientists have come so far in research, a cure is right around the corner. By walking, volunteering or sponsoring a walker you are changing lives.
sored by Chuck Wagon Catering and Dedham Savings Bank, we have music provided by South Shore Entertainment, the Dedham Police provide safety measures along the course, the Dedham Fire Station usually brings a truck down for kids to see and climb on and we have a huge raffle.

After growing spending 29 as part of the Dedham Savings Bank, Elm Street Main Office branch manager and senior vice president of retail banking, Rob Erasmi looks forward to celebrating the banks 180th birthday with its loyal customers. I started as a teller myself and worked my way up, Erasmi said, which is true of many of the banks employees. They take care of their employees here and their customers and Ive been here 29 years and enjoyed it. The Dedham Savings Banks 180th birthday falls on Wednesday, May 11,
when each of the ten branch locations will celebrate the banks success and service throughout the years. The original bank location was in Dedham Square by the courthouse in the home of the banks first treasurer, Jonathan Cobb, said Tom Filbin, the executive vice president and selfproclaimed unofficial historian. Filbin said Cobb held banking hours on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in the front parlor of his home in 1831. Since the beginning, the Dedham Savings Bank has always been a mutual savings bank, something that sets it apart from many others, he said. We have no sharehold-
ers, Filbin explained, So that means we cannot be bought out because no one owns the bank. The main office of the branch has held four different offices in Dedham Square before settling at its current location on Elm Street in 1977. Filbin said the banks greatest growth happened after World War II as veterans returned home and had continued since. Our longest employee has been here for 45 years, said Filbin who has been with the bank for almost 38 years. Weve had at least a half dozen people working here for 40 years or longer and I think its because were like a family company.
I think the best thing about us is our relationship with the customers, said Anna Conte, the branch manager at the East Dedham branch. Its the same customers coming through and they know us from when we started part time teller jobs. They know that when they come here, they can ask for a particular person and not just get sent to a different window. Our longest employee has been here for 45 years, said Filbin who has been with the bank for almost 38 years. Weve had at least a half dozen people working here for 40 years or longer and I think its because were like a family company. The Dedham Savings
Bank has been actively involved in the communities it reaches through grants and financial support to local organizations. For the past eight years, the Dedham Savings Bank has donated 10 percent of the earnings of its charitable foundation to different organizations to benefit schools, senior citizens, and people with special needs. They also give out grants twice a year and constantly look for ways to interact with and support their surrounding communities. I love working with my coworkers as well as my customers, Erasmi said. We all come together and get to be out there in the community and support the towns.

ing a donation, Crisp said at the School Committees latest meeting May 4. It was a community-wide effort, he emphasized. It was alumni, it was businesses, it was friends of Dedham High School, and it took off, and it was larger than I believed it would be, and I think a lot of us on the committee believed it would be. In addition, Prime Auto Group just donated $5,000, the first installment of the total of $20,000 it plans to give over the next several months, Crisp said. The progress Crisp said in a phone interview May 5 that he expected the bases for the lights to be installed on the Whiting Avenue site within two weeks. Im told the bases have to sit for about one month before
they can actually put the poles onto the bases, he said. Consigli Construction Co., which is overseeing the athletic project, wants to have the new artificial turf field finished by the end of July, Crisp added. But wait, theres more: the walkway Contributions of $100 or more get a brick in the Dedham Walk of Fame. Crisp said the $28,500 walkway will also be ready to go for September. It will be prominently located in front of the new restroom/concession stand building. There are still some brick pavers available on the walkway. Those will be put on sale early next year, and likely put in place next spring before next years graduation, Crisp said.

I think it is just going to be a wonderful opportunity to see this scene in a courtroom setting, Dedham Library Innovation Team member Rachel Forsyth-Tuerck said. It is a very powerful and emotional scene. We are just excited that people in the courthouse have been so accommodating. The plot of To Kill a Mockingbird builds to the courtroom scene where the widowed father and lawyer Atticus Finch defends a black man, Tom Robinson, who is falsely accused of raping a white woman. The charges against Robinson are brought by Bob Ewell, portrayed by actor Kevin Prentice. Bob is the villain of the play. He represents the racist white man in the South, Prentice said of his character. As far as the plot line goes, he brings charges against a black man who he claims has accosted his daughter. And it goes to trial. This scene reveals the

racism of the 1930s and the innocence of youth, as the entire novel is seen though the eyes of a child, Jean Louise Scout Finch. The court scene is simple to direct, Fiddlehead founder Meg Fofonoff said; it will be 45 minutes packed with emotion. Be prepared to be moved to tears by Toms testimony, stunned by the power of Atticuss speeches and awed by the beauty of Harper Lees description of the town delivered with touching wisdom by Scout, Fofonoff said. The six actors were re-
cruited by Fofonoff to perform in this scene and have been preparing for the show for months now. Brighton actress Lara Fox will play the accuser, Mayella Ewell. (She) is the oldest of seven children, and her family is very poor. Her mother is dead. And her father is abusive and an alcoholic, and so a lot of the responsibilities of the house and of taking care of the kids falls to her, Fox said of her character. Shes read the novel in English class and seen the movie. Fox said the message of
the book is still relevant today. The main message really is were all people. And I think its great to be bringing something to life that has such a positive message of taking a timeout, and just accepting people, and not judging people because theyre different than you, she said. Whether its race or education or gender, the message is be tolerant and accepting. To prepare for his role as the prosecutor Mr. Gilmer, Steve Budkowitz said he pulled from different reference points.
I visited Mississippi and Alabama in the 60s and 70s and was aware of what goes on down there and the mentality of the area, said Budkowitz, who admitted hes never read the book, but has seen the 1962 movie. (Mr. Gilmer), the DA is a real Southern guy, who is trying to nail this guy to the wall. I took an accent to fit that scene and era and the time. He said the audience should be prepared for the realism of what life was like in that time and the era. Prentice said the chance to perform in a working court-
house is really cool because that just makes it so much more real. It makes it feel much more important. Youre really on trial, he said. People really are in this room being tried for crimes, and it definitely adds to the weight of that reality. In preparing for Junes show, Steve Triebes said hes been going back to the book. He will portray Judge Taylor. Ive been going back to see what kind of character this is, he said. To really understand that the judge is truly shocked by the outcome, an emotion he cant really show. Tribes said one unique aspect of the show is the role of the audience. They will be jury members. They will be the courtroom audience, he said. The audience is just as much as part of the scene as the actors themselves.

The event, which was attended by many of the local subjects themselves, also served as the unofficial kickoff to Dedhams inaugural Open Studios event that weekend. When we heard that Dedham would be celebrating its 375th, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to refresh the exhibit. So we sat down and figured out whom to photograph, said realtor and art lover Jay Donahue. He assisted Francis in picking her subjects and happily invited her to display them in his Bryant Street office. Francis said started photographing residents in 2003, after realizing that there were a number of people in town who she wanted to know more about. She grabbed her camera, natural for a professional photographer, and set out in search of Dedhams finest. That year, she caught Marie-Louise Kehoe sitting tall behind her desk at Town Hall, Paul McMurtry

In addition to featuring faces easily found in Dedham Square, Francis also profiled well-kept secrets about local residents who contribute to the town in unique ways. While pointing to a happy snapshot of John and Joan Sweeney, posing with their three dogs in front of Ursuline Academys pond, Francis explained that the husband and wife run the company The GooseBusters and are famous for training their dogs to chase away birds in public areas.

Though Francis said she has not decided if she will continue to snap away in anticipation of a third showing, she said it would be hard to stop with the number of intriguing people still yet to be captured on film.

community, that his mother, sister and family are very focused on supporting him, and that he has a son. Noting that Bradley has been incarcerated for a significant amount of time since his arrest, Reddington suggested $100,000 cash bail, or a similar posting of real estate. The lawyer also mentioned possibilities such as GPS monitoring and restricting Bradley to his home, saying that he could meet with Bradley there. Im trying to limit his incarceration time at this point, Reddington said. Hes certainly not going anywhere. Bradley and Paul Moccia, 50, of Dedham were arrested in June 2009 for the slaying of Angel A. Ramirez, a construction worker and Guatemalan native who lived in Framingham. Authorities argue that Moccia was unable to pay $70,000 he owed Ramirez in drug money and decided to kill him, enlisting the help of his friend from high school, Bradley, as part of a planned murder swap in which they would have later taken out Bradleys romantic rival. Ramirezs body was dismembered and disposed of at Bradleys familys concrete business in Walpole and has not been found, prosecutors have said. Last month prosecutors agreed to separate trials for the two defendants, who have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Moccia, who will be tried first, has since filed a motion to appoint a new lawyer. In court Monday, Reddington said he thought Moccia would get a courtappointed lawyer but that attorney Steven Boozang would stay on the case. Boozang had no comment when reached by phone. Judge Kenneth Fishman said it is unusual to grant bail in a first-degree murder case. But with a new counsel, there inevitably will be a delay before Mr. Moccias trial gets underway, so Bradleys trial will be set back considerably, he noted.
Fishman said that unlike in the past when he has rejected bail arguments on the spot, he needs to contemplate it further this time, given his concerns about delays. He took Reddingtons motion under advisement. As a practical matter, I have my doubts about whether Mr. Bradley will be tried in the fall of this year, Fishman said. Were probably looking at a fall trial for Mr. Moccia, and then who knows when Mr. Bradleys trial takes place. When Assistant District Attorney Pamela Alford said that none of the circumstances have changed from when bail was initially considered, the judge pointed out that the length of time has changed, and that the future delay of (Bradleys) trial has changed dramatically. He remains unsuitable for any bail amount given the charge of first-degree murder, Alford said. When Fishman asked if that would remain her position even if it became two, three, or 10 years without a trial, Alford maintained it would. After Mondays final pretrial conference, Bradley is due back in court July 21 for a status hearing. Fishman said he would issue a written order on the bail motion well before then. Moccia has a status hearing May 24, when he could get his new lawyer, paid for by the state. Fishman still has not ruled on the motions that were argued before him last month, including defense attempts to suppress statements Bradley and Moccia made to police in April 2009, when they were not read their Miranda rights as suspicion was focused on them at the time, defense lawyers argued. Police said they were doing fact-gathering and not suspect interviews. Fishman said one reason the motions are still pending is that he was concerned that a new attorney for Moccia would ask to reopen the evidence suppression hearing.

One thousand pink balloons will line Dedham Square Saturday, May 7, as team Mind Over Matters fundraiser is in full swing. For the past few months, Dedham resident and breast cancer survivor Mara Gorden has tirelessly worked to turn Dedham pink on Mothers Day weekend. Dedham Goes Pink for me is my big, bold, statement. I believe it is important to talk about breast cancer and to raise awareness, she said. I believe that many of us think that it will never happen to us perhaps because we do not have a family history or we think we are too young. The three-day event is a fundraiser for her Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure six-member team Mind Over Matter. Gorden set a personal goal of raising $20,000 as a team for the walk in July. The required fundraising amount is $2,500 a person. Gorden formed team Mind Over Matter in 2010 after a close friend was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Her team of three raised just over $11,000 last year. With three more members the goal is set even higher. The team includes Gorden, Cherry Bernard, Marianne Martin, Perri Matthew, Christine Rose and Dusty Showers. For Gorden, this years 3-day walk will bring her mission to a full circle. Gorden was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer a few days after her 40th birthday. I have no family history of breast cancer and before my friend was diagnosed at age 38 had not even thought about the possibility of it touching me or any of my young mom friends, she said. The walk this year will truly be full circle for me. At the time of the walk I will be approaching my one-year cancerversary, otherwise known as my one year as a survivor. If you had asked me last year if this is where I thought Id be today I would have said you were crazy.

Dedham Goes Pink kicksoff at Endicott Estate on Friday at 7 p.m. with a dessert reception, silent auction and a presentation by motivational speaker Dusty Showers. Most recognizable as the Man in the Pink Bra, Dusty Showers has participated in seven Komen 3-Day walks and raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer research since 2005. Dusty Showers formed The 2nd Basemen in 2009. This group works worldwide to raise breast cancer awareness, education and support research. Dusty and I have gotten to be friends over the past year. During my treatment I spent hours in doctors waiting rooms, she said. It was Dusty who helped me see the light at the end of tunnel of treatment and who so of-
On Saturday follow the pink balloons donated by Prime Honda and Toyota of West Roxbury to pink events throughout Dedham Square and Oakdale Square. Events run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be an old-fashioned fire truck, decorated for the occasion, and Devaney Oils pink oil truck in the Square. In the towns municipal lot on Eastern Avenue, Music Together will hold a free interactive concert from 11 to 11:30 a.m. After the concert, Music Together will hold other music circles. I recently had two friends (very young) pass away after struggling with two different and very rare cancers, Marianne Ryan, director of Discover Music and Art said, explaining why she is participating in Dedham Goes Pink. [I work to find] opportunities for my company, Discover Music And Art, to offer students a variety of charitable experiences, learning from an early age the spirit of giving and becoming involved with their community with fundraising concerts. Raffle tickets would be on sale at various locations in Dedham and Oakdale Squares. Ticket sales will start on May 5, during Dedham Square Circles Ladies Night Out. Raffle tickets are one for $5 and five for $20. All proceeds will be donated to Team Mind Over Matter. The first 100 people to purchase a raf-
fle ticket will receive a reusable Music Together grocery bag with a shaker egg and a Music Together CD, Ryan said. Winners will also receive train whistles, a percussion set and Music Together Favorite CDs. Later on in the day Saturday, head on over to Boch Ice Center, 1105 East St. in Dedham for a family skate at 1 p.m. There will also be raffle giveaways, food, and family fun at the arena.

DEDHAM DETECTIVE
am going pink this Mothers Day weekend. How about you? If you missed the latest buzz, Dedham resident, Mara Gorden, a breast cancer survivor and a personal inspiration, has tirelessly worked ANDREA SALISBURY to turn Dedham pink on May 6-8. I met Mara last spring, a few months before her team, Mind over Matter, participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk. She was still in the fundraising phase with a personal goal of $2,300. There was a fire in her eyes as she shared her motivation behind the walk: Her close friend was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. That year Mara poured her energy into the 3-Day, from organizing yoga fundraisers to promoting the team on Facebook, a social networking tool that, at the time, she wasnt too familiar with, but now seems to be second nature. Then in July her team of three walked. They raised over $11,000 for cancer research. Through Facebook, I followed Mara on the walk. The first day she was energized and ready to join the millions in Boston. Then there was a post about her going to the medical station, followed by the post of her fear of not being able to participate. She never finished the 60-mile walk; she had to pull out for medical reasons after the first day. During an interview in October of 2010, I learned Mara was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Three days before the walk she went in for a mammogram and they discovered something odd. After several doctors visits, a biopsy and lumpectomy, they made their diagnosis. But this mother of two young boys is a fighter. I look at my children and think how grateful I am for every day with my children, she said in October. And it makes me care less about things ... I dont feel sick. They found something, I had some surgery. We are trying to just go day to day and not have it anything more than that. Ive been working in newspapers for 8 years now, and there are only a handful of interviews that have stuck with me. Maras is one of them. Her energy is contagious. Her outlook is powerful. She is a woman on a mission and I just captured a segment of it to share. Time passed and life seemed to go on as usual. Then, a few months ago I got a Facebook message from Mara. She wanted to turn Dedham pink, and not just for an evening, but for an entire weekend. I wasnt surprised Mara thinks big. To promote breast cancer awareness and to help in the fundraising efforts for this years 3-Day walk, Mara has successfully planned three days of pink events in Dedham. From Friday nights kick-off event at the Endicott Estate, to Saturdays festivities in the Square to the closing childrens concert on Sunday, there is something for everyone. So Ill ask you again. Will go you pink this weekend?

5 services an elder law attorney can provide

his month is National Elder Law Month. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the assistance elder law attorneys can provide to seniors and their families. Elder law is often described as a holistic area of law, as elder law attorneys are experienced in reviewing and providing legal advice about may different aspects of a seniors life from housing options, to health care, to estate planning, to public benefits, and more. Elder law attorneys are different than traditional lawyers in that they focus on a specific population, rather than one practice area. In furtherance of the purposes of National Elder Law Month, here are five important services an elder law attorney can provide to seniors and their families:
ATTORNEY MARIA C. BALER
resource for families who live at a distance from an elderly relative and need an experienced and knowledgeable local person to be familiar with the elders day- to-day needs, monitor care, and advise the family when changes are necessary. GCMs can also help identify appropriate assisted living and nursing facilities if the need arises.

Creating and maintaining appropriate estate plan documents is important for people of all ages. Documents such as Wills and Trusts ensure a persons assets will be left to their intended beneficiaries and that their wishes will be carried out upon death. Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies allow individuals to appoint people to make financial and health care decisions on their behalf if they are no longer competent to make those decisions themselves. Unlike many typical estate planners, elder law attorneys have a particular focus on integrating estate planning with other goals that are important to seniors, such as protection of assets from long-term care costs or qualification for veterans benefits or other public
Estate planning
Elder Law attorneys are familiar with the network of services and providers available to assist elders in a number of areas. These include local state agencies, called Aging Service Access Points, which serve as the entry point for services available to elders in a given community. Elder law attorneys help identify the appropriate state and federally funded programs that provide services and support to elders and their families. Elder law attorneys can also connect seniors with local Geriatric Care Managers (GCMs) who can be an important resource for seniors and their families. GCMs focus on the unique needs of elders who require assistance and can help locate resources and coordinate care specifically tailored to the needs of an individual elders situation. GCMs can be a particularly valuable
Locating resources for care and assistance
There are many public benefit programs available to assist low-income and low-asset elders with the care they need. These include the different veterans benefit programs as well as the Medicaid/MassHealth program, which provides both community and institutional benefits to eligible individuals. Elder Law attorneys stay updated on the frequent changes to the laws and regulations that govern these benefit programs and the eligibility requirements. Elder law attorneys also advise clients how to obtain and maintain eligibility for these programs, which can provide important care and other types of assistance often crucial to allow older adults to maintain their independence.
Guardianship and Conservatorship
In circumstances where an elder is no longer able to make decisions for him or herself, an elder law attorney can assist family members in obtaining authority from the court to make decisions on the elders behalf. If the

DEDHAM JUNIOR WOMANS CLUB

an Civian says her son teases her about being part of the Dedham Junior Womans Club.
COURTESY PHOTO
Below, as part of its September meeting, members of the DJWC held a clothing and accessory swap.
But, we are the juniors, Civian, a Dedham resident and co-president of the group explained, saying they are part of the Greater Federation of Womens Clubs. The other groups are comprised of older members. Then again, after 17 years in the club, we are starting to move toward the senior end, she quipped. The group recently held a joint wine and cheese social with Dedham Parent Time at the Dedham Community House on High Street. Its purpose was for members and those interested in joining to gather in a casual setting. Attendees flowed from room to room, nibbling on cheese and crackers and sipping drinks. In the main room there was laughter as attendees caught up on life events and discussed upcoming activities through the various clubs. Standing in front of the Dedham Junior Womans Club informational booth, Oakdale resident Holly Dixon said shes been with the club for at least 8 or 9 years. She joined after being invited by friends. It is a good way to meet other people and to get involved in the community, she says. My kids were getting older and (the club offered a way) to connect with others outside of the schools. Civian had a similar story. I had always known that I wanted to get involved in community service work, she says. Women in her neighborhood kept on inviting her to join the womens club, but her kids were young and she didnt know how much she could commit. Even-

Dedham Junior Womans Club co-presidents Jean Martens and Jan Civian, right, said they both joined the group to become more involved with the community.
Preparations are underway for the Dedham Junior Womans Club Annual Craft Show on Saturday, Nov. 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Craft Show will be held at the Dedham Middle School on Whiting Avenue. Members of the Craft Show committee gather around one of the many signs that will be around town to help promote the fair. Members of the committee include, from left, Gerri Roberts, Dee Campbell, Holly Dixon, Elaine Mellen, Lisa McKinnon, Ellen Burns, and Barbara McKenna.
tually she joined and realized an important element of the club. It depends on what is going in your life, (in terms of how involved on becomes), she said. You can do more or do less. There are lots of opportunity to do little or a lot depending on your life demands. The clubs mission is to encourage its members to be active volunteers in the community through a variety of projects, according to its website. Or as copresident Jean Martens explains, the club is about, coming together on common goals and doing something for other people. Martens has been with the club since 2003. She said when she moved to Dedham she didnt really know anyone. I am very civic- and volunteerminded and I had a young son, she said and joked with Civian that she joined to find both a babysitter and friendship.
But the main reason to join the Dedham Junior Womans Club, Civian says, is to meet people and learn about the town on a common ground which is civic outreach.
A bit of history
The Dedham chapter was founded in 1979 by Karen Baker. According to the clubs website, Baker was a member of the Junior Womans Club in Billerica and was eager to get involved in a similar group in Dedham. When there was nothing beyond church and military organizations for women, she decided to start a club in Dedham. She gathered a few friends and planned a public meeting at the Endicott Estate. The club, with approximate-
ly 45 members, meets the last Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Endicott Estate on East Street. To be a member, Civian says, all you need to do is show up, pay the $25 annual fee and fill out a form. From there members sign up for one of the 11 committees that range from arts programs to planning the annual craft show to conservation. The club offers a variety of programs for the community. During the summer the club holds free weekly concerts at the Endicott Estate. Last month they organized a toy and costume swap for children at the library. Civian said the various programs offered really depend on the members. The kinds of things we do change year after year, she said.
Its largest fundraiser is the annual craft show at Dedham Middle School on Saturday, Nov. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Now in its 29th year, the craft show features handmade items ranging from jewelry, quilts, food and holiday decorations. It is out of this world this year, Civian said. We work really hard to make it happen to raise this money and give it back. Dixon says it is a yearlong planning process. Yet at the end of the day, she said, its exciting to see how much it has grown. Through its fundraisers and volunteer projects, the Dedham Junior Womans Club provides annual scholarships to Dedham residents, and supports a large number of community groups including Dedham Civic Pride, Dedham Council on Aging, Dedham Education Foun-
dation, and the Dedham Food Pantry. We even get our kids involved in the volunteer activities, Civian said.
Women helping women
Every member at the social had a story about different times the Dedham Junior Womans club was there to lend a hand. Dixon said when her husband was injured, members showed up with meals and gift cards. There were people that came out of nowhere, she remarked, Everybody steps right up and they are right there for you every day. Civian agrees, It is the most caring and supportive group of women you will ever want to meet.

About John
Age: 57 Children: Two daughters, Jennifer, 24, and Melissa, 20. They both worked for the Halfway Cafe and they were treated like everyone else. Fun Fact Number 1: Before entering the restaurant business, John Grasso taught in the Boston public schools. Website: www.thehalfwaycafe.com
Twenty years ago John Grasso and David Steen saw an opportunity on Washington Street. The two friends purchased the Halfway Cafe in Dedham and from there the business grew to six other locations in Canton, Holbrook, Watertown, Marlborough, Marshfield and Maynard. Grasso recently stat down with the Dedham Transcript to talk about the last 20 years, the death his business partner and his plans for the future. : What was Qbought it 20your vision for the Halfway Cafe when you years ago? : I needed a job (laughs) AI hadup on the restau-Shore owned a rant/bar North and I had sold it. Then my plan was to be Mr. Mom for a while and then get a job outside the industry. At that point in time, my second child was on the way and I needed a job. Then David Steen, he and I had been the best of friends for years, and I knew that this place was for sale and I was familiar with this location because I grew up in Roslindale. I remember there used to be lines going out the door. (Grasso explained that after Tom ORiordan sold the Halfway in the 70s there had been a number of owners that couldnt maintain the Washington Street restaurant). But, we saw the potential and we saw what was there and we went about our business. How did Q::Halfway? you reinvent the We was a institution, but the Aham knew itoff the Dedluster had come pumpkin. I can remember when we were kids, my parents taking us here and it was the red-checkered tablecloths, pizza, pitchers of beer and soda. I think the main thing that David and I looked at first off was to clean

the facility up and we opened for a couple of weeks to establish ourselves. Then we closed it down and we made, at that point in time, what was $35,000 of cosmetic cleanups Even to this day, we are not fancy but we are all about value and service It has been an interesting road in the 20 years. One thing that we have tried to do is maintain that personal touch. We have seven locations and we have close to 300 employees. What Q::the lastis the high point of 20 years? The combination of the Aroad constructionup and out front, Legacy Place opening the economy it has been the perfect storm of negative factors. But we are going forward Whats the high point? Someone told me a long time ago that when things are good, they are never as good as you think they are, when they are bad, they are never really bad. Instead of asking whats the high point, I am going to say: I consider it more of a journey. A journey from the perspective of, we opened up and we hit the ground running. What your vision for Q::the nextis20foremost, we years? First and Awant to survive this economic tsunami. We want to survive and we want to prosper
and we still want to grow We have a viable product to sell. I am a firm believer that people make a difference. People dont work for us, people work with us. As much as my role has evolved through the years, through the growth of our company and through the death of my business partner, I am still a restaurant guy at heart. How Q::your 20will you be8marking year anniversary? Next week (Nov. to 11), Awe are rolling back our core menu to 1990s prices. Which basically you can get a burger for under $5 and you can get steak tips for around $7. We are going roll everything back for those four days. What are the different Q::roles can take itheld? when you have You from opened up Awethe kitchen,the doors. I was in I was working the line Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. David and I were in the kitchen the first 2 years we were open and working the front door. Then when we opened in Watertown (in 1995), I was pretty much running the Watertown store the first 1 to 2 years that we were there. Running one store was something David and I could do in our sleep. Running two stores was easy. For me, expanding to three, when we opened up Marlborough and
the growing pains where you cant be on top of every detail of everything, that goes on in every store. Tell us about David. Q::David was diagnosed with Astage IV lung cancer thethe day before we were taking over Holbrook location in 2006. He never really came back to work after that; he passed four months to the day. David was the consummate restaurant professional. David was the face of the Halfway. I was sort of the behind-thescenes guy who ran the business. Jokingly, David never knew what bank we used, he was more concerned with the people ... One of the things we believed in was the people that work for us. One of the things we have, is on Nov. 14 we have the Halfway hall of fame. Any employee that has been with the company for five years is inducted into the hall of fame. is next for Q::IWhatalways haveyou?finger will this industry somehow, AIinwant to teach hotelmy but and restaurant management. I want to get back to my roots. Being in this industry, it keeps you young, you have to stay current I will always be involved in the business in some way, shape or form.

Selectmen honor Senate leader

SELECTMEN NOTEBOOK
But Wait, Theres more

Video: Check out Sen. Marian Walshs speech to the selectmen at WickedLocalDedham.com
Selectman Carmen DelloIacono said he was 17 when he first met Sen. Marian Walsh. It was the very first time you ran, he said to the outgoing state senator, and the very first time I worked on a campaign. At that moment, DelloIacono said he knew she commanded authority. You were, you are and you will be a leader doing whatever you are going to do when you retire, he said during the Nov. 4 Dedham Board of Selectmens meeting. Walsh said when she was running for office someone said to her if you can make it in Dedham, you can make it anywhere. There is so much talent and intensity (in Dedham). she said There are people with passion and Dedham has a lot of leaders. Early last year, Walsh announced she would not be running for re-election. Two days prior to the selectmens meeting state Rep. Mike Rush, D-West Roxbury, was elected to her seat. Walsh said the decision not to run was emotional. Gratitude is a funny thing, she remarked. It is so important that we express it. I find that happy people are grateful people and grateful people are happy people. From the front row in the Francis OBrien Meeting Room on the top floor of Town Hall, Walsh graciously listened as the remainder of the board praised her years of service for the district and residents of Dedham. (Sen. Walshs) constituent service has been unmatched, Selectman Michael Butler said. I know a number of peo-
ple that have called your office over the years and there has been no delay and that makes the constituent happy to know that the person on the other end of the phone is taking all of their concerns seriously. He noted that Walsh has been to countless events around town and she was always ready to work and attend any event, large or small. Selectman Paul Reynolds echoed Butlers praise and remarked that he has no idea how she attended all the events. There has to be an underground tunnel system, he joked. Reynolds praised Walshs reaction and outreach during one of the first meetings when the economy started collapsing. There was such a panic in that room and people werent really sure how we were going to get out of this, he said. You gave such a sense of determined optimism balanced with reality. Sarah MacDonald praised Walshs commitment to legislations. I have not met a legislator with such an intensity of focus when there was an issue that needed to be addressed, MacDonald said. It couldnt wait. (You handled things) then and immediately and with all of the resources that you could bring to bear. Town Administrator Bill Keegan thanked Walsh for all the work she did to make the open-air mall, Legacy Place, a reality. As a token of their gratitude, the board presented Walsh with

a local gift: a Dedham Pottery serving platter. Walsh has been a senator for towns within Norfolk and Suffolk County. She said during her 18 years in the Senate shes learned that everyone wants the same thing, we might (just) package it differently. We all want really the same thing. We want respect. We want someone who cares about us and our family and our hopes and our dreams and to explain ourselves, she said to the Board of Selectmen. Representing the peo-
ple of Dedham, and feeling your dreams and your hopes, and your anxiety - that is such a gift you gave me. To be able to and try and represent you and to fight for you and defend you and explain how much you matter.

In a joint meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Board of Selectmen on Thursday, Nov. 4, Dan Hart was appointed to the seat left empty by Kevin Flaherty earlier this October. Chuck DelloIacono was also a candidate for the position for the Parks and Recreation Commission and because of this his brother, Carmen DelloIacono, who is a selectman, recused himself from the vote. Hart, a Dedham native, says he has worked in a variety of ways with the parks department dating back to the 70s as an employee and he also helped for 28 years with the Dedham Fourth of July Road Race. I ran for parks and rec. a few years back, he said. Since that time, Ive been actively involved with going to meetings and some of the initiatives. (Ive also been involved with) a few committees that have been formed, most recently the Open Space Committee (in connection) with the parks and rec. subcommittee. From a priority standpoint, Hart said, the number-one task in front of the board is filling the directors role. This position has been unfilled since Anthony JuJu Mucciaccio retired in August. Without (a director) in place, the department is going to struggle in direction, he said. Flaherty was one of two newcomers elected to the Parks and Recreation Commission in the April 2009 town election. He resigned in early October, with a year and a half left in his term, and has not returned calls for comment about his resignation.

After leaving Norwood in June of 2009, The Fiddlehead Theatre has found a new home at 619 High St. in Dedham. Our roots are in Dedham. Ive lived in Dedham all my life, theater director Meg Fofonoff told the selectmen at its recent meeting. The first show we did was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, at Dedham High School Then we proceeded to roam. I always, always wanted to be in Dedham. Fofonoff said it was all a matter of finding space. The theater was in Norwood for 13 years. After leaving that location, she said she was driving down High Street in Dedham when she saw the former Christian Science Church and the for-rent sign. She then contacted the property owner, Dr. Lou Swan, who recently rehabbed the building. I went and looked at it and said (to Swan) if I in my head had designed a vision for a theater school, a theater academy this would be it, she said. Fofonoff said the first order of action is to start the Fiddlehead Theatre Academy and then organize a performance. Selectman Carmen Dello Iacono asked Fofonoff about the theaters name. She quickly explained, It is a young fern that unfurls and to me that is a magical image of what theater can bring to everybody. To contact Fofonoff, e-mail fiddleheadinfo@aol.com or call 617-888-5365. For updates check out the website www.fiddleheadtheater.com.

I went and looked at it and said (to Swan) if I in my head had designed a vision for a theater school, a theater academy this would be it, she said. Fofonoff said the first order of action is to start the Fiddlehead Theatre Academy and then organize a performance. Selectman Carmen Dello Iacono asked Fofonoff about the theaters name. She quickly explained, It is a young fern that unfurls and to me that is a magical image of what theater can bring to everybody.

MATH, 13
To a full room in the Dedham Public Library, Joe DAmico made the announcement everyone was waiting for: There will be no cut to hours. Ive spoken with a few of the staff
members, and they said it was their opinion that the trustees didnt have to cut hours. That the staff would step up, when needed, if needed to be able to keep the library open, DAmico, a member of the Board of Library Trustees, said during its monthly meeting on Nov. 16 at the main branch.
At its October meeting, trustees proposed the idea of cutting hours at both the main branch on Church Street and the Endicott branch library at the Endicott Estate on East Street. One of the proposals would have severely cut back the hours at the Endicott branch, leavLIBRARY, PAGE 6
We are going to go with the staff (on this decision). That means no changes to either building as far as hours, because the staff is telling us that they can do this.

Fiddlehead Theatre academy to open in Dedham

Down a flight of stairs at 619 High St. is where Meg Fofonoff s vision unfolds. This is the theater school space, she says, standing on the bottom step of a wooden stair-
case. The air smells like fresh paint. She points to a smaller room. Heres the entrance, and the coat rack, and where the kids will check in. She walks through the doorway to a larger room. The walls are a soft pink, almost coral

color and the hardwood floor looks newly polished. Fofonoff explains that this is where classes for the Fiddlehead Theatre Academy will be held. To come into a space, that is just such a fantastic place with a vintage feel, she smiles. It is just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears it is just right. The process of finding a location for the theater academy has been a homecoming of sorts, the Dedham native says on a recent Friday morning. A journey that started in Dedham in 1994 with the theaters first performance at the high school; took her to a downtown theater in Norwood for 13 years; and now back to Dedham. You have to come full circle to come home, she says. The building is owned by Dr. Louis J. Sawan, a dentist at Dedham Medical Associates and a Dedham native who bought the former Christian Science Church three years ago. He says he always envisioned using the space for something artistic. I didnt want to make another half-dozen offices in Dedham Square, he says during a phone interview earlier this week. His voice echoes and he explains he was actually at 619 High St. getting things ready. Fofonoff explains her degree in theater is one of experience. She holds a bachelors degree in English literature, and started her masters degree in theater education. (But) I had two kids and it was just a matter of time, she explains as to why she never completed her degree. I just wanted to be with my kids. This job, she says, provided an opportunity for her children to work with her as she builds the reputation of the Fiddlehead Theatre. For 13 years, Fofonoff called the theater at 109 Central St. in Norwood home. Its last show in 2009 was My Fair Lady, one her favorite productions, Fofonoff said. While larger productions are in the future for the Fiddlehead, right now Fofonoff is putting her efforts in the Fiddlehead Theatre Academy. She has a core group of five teachers that are certified and have worked either professionally on stage or have their masters of fine arts. Classes, she says, will range from set design, musi-

cals, and mask making, to dance and costume design. We are probably going to expand pretty quickly, she smiles and looks around the space. She adds that she hopes to
expand one day to include a puppet theater and possibly country line dancing. Im a country nut, she jokes. The first wave of classes will prepare for performances of 101 Dalmatians, for kids ages 6 to 8 and Beauty and the Beast, for kids age 9 to 15. They will be held Saturdays starting Jan. 9 through Feb. 19. Through the class, students will receive a script and a CD with which they can rehearse at home. This, Fofonoff says, really gets the parents involved. At the end of each session, students will perform for an audience. Fofonoff has worked professionally in the theater for 18 years and maintains that her passion has always been about the kids.
There is nothing better than doing theater with kids, she smiles and explains that, while there can be only one Belle, every young actor will feel like they can really shine. She says there is one key aspect kids will learn. It is not about the amount of time on stage, she says. It is about making the most of the moments you are. An open house will be held on Saturday, Dec. 18 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 619 High St.. The teachers will be on hand to answer questions.

cancer research and Lance Armstrongs foundation LIVESTRONG, which puts it toward important programs to support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting 1 in 6 men, according to the PCF. In most cases the cancer is slow-growing, so it takes years to detect. And nearly all men who are diagnosed and treated when their cancers are in the local and regional stages are free of the disease after five years. Still, a man with prostate cancer has a 1 in 6-8 chance of dying from the disease, the foundation notes.
A link to donate to the Dedham police team, The DP Mos, can be found on the departments homepage. Officer Michael Doyle is the team captain. The mustache is the ribbon for mens cancer awareness, he said. Morale has gone up since Movember began, Doyle and dEntremont agreed. Thanksgiving, however, will be a little weird, as people arent used to seeing people with mustaches at their family gatherings and everything, Kennedy said. Theres nothing funnier than a room full of cops with mustaches, Doyle said. I sent that e-mail out, and I think thats what got everybody going.

ing it open only one day a week. The rationale behind reducing hours, Library Director Patricia Lambert said, was staffing. Lambert has said with her current staff of five librarians, the town cannot maintain hours at both locations. There had been seven, but one retired and one found work elsewhere. The town is under a hiring freeze and the positions cannot currently be filled. There are a total of 15 employees at the library. Despite their reduced numbers, DAmico said the library staff told the trustees that they will work to keep both locations open. The trustees agreed to give them the chance to do that, DAmico said. So we are not going to change hours, he said. Not at this meeting, not at subsequent meetings, unless there is a problem. We are going to let this play out. Trustee Michael Chalifoux echoed DAmicos sentiment, but addressed his concern about paying for overtime. Both of us are trying to predict the future, he said. We are going to go with the staff. That means no changes to either building as far as hours, because the staff is telling us that they can do this. One of the other items to make this work is, we need to have adequate funding for overtime to fill the holes. Chalifoux tossed out the idea of cutting Sunday hours and putting that money into the overtime account, but the board ultimately decided to ask the town for more money to cover overtime.

The public outcry that followed the October meeting to save the Endicott library and not only keep the hours, but rejuvenate both branches, sparked the formation of the Dedham Library Innovation Team, or D-LIT. Selectman Paul Reynolds officially un-
At an informal meeting in October, Reynolds said a dozen people, including library trustees and Lambert, sat around the table and formed D-LIT. The group also boasts close to 100 members on its Facebook page. Our mission is this, he read from a flier at the trustees meeting: The group is a circle of dedicated residents whose mission is to create best-inclass, state-of-the-art libraries in Dedham. Our vision is to within five years be declared a
5-star library. And we are on our way and there is certainly a lot of work to be done The question is, why cant we be better than the rest? Why cant we be leaders? With the cut in hours on hold, the focus now turns to filling the empty board seat after the recent resignation of library trustee Edward Fitzhenry. This position will be voted on and filled at the Nov. 18 Board of Selectmens meeting. This is an interim position until a replacement is elected in April. The three candidates, who are also members of D-LIT Brad Bauer, Kristen Walker Overman, and Rachel ForsythTuerck introduced themselves at the trustees meeting. Going in alphabetical order, Bauer was first to speak. I got my first library card when I was 5 years old, so I have a lot of experience in attending libraries, he smiled and added that his wife, Diane, has been a childrens librarian for years. All my life Ive been surrounded by librarians. He said he wants to be on the board because hes seen some things that he would like to change. The one thing that this library needs, very strongly, is a vision and plan, he said. A vision first and then a plan and from that plan can come a budget the whole community needs to get on the same path. Forsyth-Tuerck moved to Dedham in 2005 and said one
of the first things she did was go to the library. There she met Diane Bauer and worked to organize the moms book group through the library. Ive meet some of my best friends in Dedham through that organization, she said. From that Ive really come to depend on the Dedham library. I feel strongly about it functioning as a vital part of our community There is an opportunity here for a positive moving forward and I would like to be part of that. Last to speak, Kristen Walker Overman, a Dedham native, expressed her longtime love for books and libraries. I feel very strongly about Dedham and building a stronger community, she said, noting the library is one of the towns best resources. The whole population as it ages, they need libraries more and more. (A town) needs a place where you can interact with (many) generations. There is nothing like seeing my boys when they meet older people and they are just really delighted I think this is how libraries should be too, where you dont have closed doors for children and closed doors for grownups. Trustee Chairman Robert Desmond, who is leaving the board in March, offered a bit of advice to the candidates. Ive done it for a lot of years, he said. It is not easy. It is a lot of work.

he Dedham Food Pantry gave away turkeys and all the fixings to about 115 clients at its Turkey Day at First Church and Parish on Sunday, Nov. 21. The fixings were a turkey pan filled with 5 pounds of potatoes, carrots, gravy, stuffing, squash, and brownie mix, all wrapped in cellophane, said Lindsay Barich, the pantrys co-president. A Norwood business, Personal Best Karate, made the turkey pans and donated all of the food, including the birds, Barich said. We didnt have to spend any money this year, which was great, and it saved us all the labor from volunteers putting together the fixings bags, he said.
Mark Downey, who donates his services every Thanksgiving, drove down to Mansfield to pick up the baskets and turkeys with his truck. It was about six pallets worth of food, Barich said. First Church parishioners and local students helped out, and Mocha Java donated baked goods and coffee for clients and volunteers to have, he said. The Dedham Food Pantrys next big day is Saturday morning, Dec. 18, when Dedham Police will hand out Christmas meals that they are donating, Barich said. That event will also be held at First Church.

Q&A WITH ROBERT MANCUSO
As the school districts health director cracks down on lifethreatening allergies, the School Committee is considering a move that would ban bake sales during school hours in Dedhams preschool through elementary grades. Gail Kelley, the districts director for health services, said she is not trying to put a squash on fundraisers, but kids safety must come first in an era when an increasing number of children have allergies to peanut and dairy products. Its a big change. It basically is eliminating food fundraisers at the elementary level, such as bake sales, Kelley told the school board as she presented a revised version of the allergy policy that was approved four years ago. She said there are almost 120 students with life-threatening food allergies in Dedhams public schools, and its just getting more and more difficult to man-

At first the room was quiet that is, except for the snap, snap, snap of apple skins as knives pierced the green flesh, and the inevitable thuds when the knives hit the chopping board. After watching executive chef Eddie Cerrato flawlessly create an apple pie complete with cheddar cheese piecrust nearly 20 participants in the Chef for a Day themed weekend at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham rolled out their newly-learned baking skills and got to work. Though from the crowd, one participant voiced her concerns because he makes it all look so easy. From the back of the room, Denise Carroll, food and beverage director at the house, explained that the themed weekends started about four years ago. And theyve been taking off in a good direction.
The Endicott House is a historic mansion on Haven Street in Dedham and is owned by MIT. In his opening speech outlining a brief history of the home, General Manager Michael Fitzgerald said everyone working at the 25-acre estate is an MIT employee. Most of the year the house hosts business conferences, but on select weekends it offers get-away packages. Each weekend has a theme like cooking, writing or gardening. It is a great secret that we like to share,

Eddie Cerrato, executive chef at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham, gives tips on brining a turkey during a recent cooking weekend at the Haven Street house.
Dedhams new library trustee says he reads about 50 books a year, both fiction and nonfiction. One recent title: Work Song by Ivan Doig, who mostly writes about the West. Thats a story about copper mining in Butte, Montana. Its a novel about that. And being a mining engineer, I enjoy things like that, said Brad Bauer, who was selected by library trustees and selectmen for the board last week. I bring engineering experience with all the project management and things that Ive done in the past, said Bauer,

Carroll said of the packages. During the various weekends, participants get hands-on lessons from experts and spend one night at the home. Prices vary, depending on the weekend. The chef s weekend started at $199 a person and the Aspiring Writers Weekend hosted by author Jane Cleland, carries a price tag of $495 a person. Carroll said the classes are kept small and attract a variety of people. You will get VPs in here, Carroll said. And one minute later they are all crushing garlic together. Although most of the participants at the chef weekend held Nov. 13-14 were in some way connected to MIT, there was a boisterous group of women from Mass General hospital Christine Kennedy, Trisha Luberto and Eleanor Cotter. The women laughed as Luberto attempted to create a rose out of excess piecrust a technique Cerrato demonstrated only minutes earlier. Over a table, Stephanie Keeler and Mark Hansen, of Belmont, pinched the crust on their creation. I dont think we are there yet, she laughed and explained

that Hansen is more of a baker. As the day progressed with a guided tour of the greenhouse (featuring an orange tree and potted pineapple tree) by head gardener Andy Turcotte, and a mulled wine demonstration the crew found themselves back in the kitchen with Cerrato. You will see lots of garlic to-
day, Cerrato said about his recipes. Garlic in everything except for the desserts. From brining turkey, to tips on creating mouthwatering butternut squash soup with apples, the chefs in training were guided through the dos and donts of holiday cooking. The next themed weekend is an Aspiring Writers Weekend and features author Jane Cle-
land. The weekend, held Jan. 14-16, runs $495 a person and includes overnight accommodations and meals. For more information on the MIT Endicott House, visit www. mitendicotthouse.org.

tion, management, and emergency response, is developed for each student with a medically diagnosed, life-threatening emergency, Kelley said. Using food as a reward or incentive during the school day would be banned. We just feel that thats inappropriate in this day and age with the number of students we have with allergies, Kelley said. But the biggest change would be ending the time-honored practice of bake sales, and prohibiting all such sales of competitive food or beverages that are not sold or provided through the school breakfast or lunch program. They are not permitted at the secondary level during the school day, but are allowed afterward, said Kelley, who explained that by middle and high school, students know exactly what they can and cannot have to eat. She proposed eliminating bake sales during and after school at the elementary schools. School Committee Chairman Thomas Ryan suggested allowing them after school hours between K-12, however. So if you had Oakdale family night and youre serving some food, its not that youre in violation of the policy, its just that we have to make sure that every student who is on file to have an allergy, the parent would be contacted and have some kind of menu, bill of fare provided to say this is whats going to be there, Ryan said. He said he doesnt want to preempt family fun night or the Avery Spooktacular, but said the School Committee needs to adopt a more stringent policy as peanut allergies explode in number. Another important change states that parents and guardians are responsible for managing their childs lifethreatening allergies during par-
ent- or community-sponsored events that are held on school properties beyond school hours, Kelley said. That is an expansion from the previous policy, which only addressed the school day on that issue, she said. For such events held after school, the expectation is that parents and guardians are responsible for their child and will be attending with them, Superintendent of Schools June Doe said. After talking with the School Committee, Kelley said she would make revisions to her draft. Overall, however, she stuck to a strict, cautionary stance. When School Committee member Dimitria Sullivan asked about the grandmas coffee cake fundraiser Riverdale just held, Kelley referred to another section which says that food is allowed at a curriculum-based event if it is approved by the school nurse and principal. I have no problem with grandmas coffee cakes as long as the kids are bringing home the order form, the parents are filling out the order form, and the parents are picking up grandmas coffee cake, and the kids arent carrying grandmas coffee cake home with them, Kelley said. She added a short time later, I really think that for the most part we need to try to keep our elementary kids away from the food, even carrying the food home. Sullivan agreed that kids need to be protected, but suggested making the policy more flexible, and giving PTOs more flexibility. I work extensive hours, and if I got a note home that said if youd like to purchase a coffee cake but you have to come between 8 and 3 to pick it up or you cant participate in this, Im not going to participate in it, she said. I need some extension on the other end, maybe to 5 oclock, to be able to pick that up.
Ryan suggested that the policy subcommittee have a meeting for people to voice their concerns. After making some tweaks, the School Committee could hopefully take up the policy again at its next meeting, he said.
Parents say precautions are justified
Lori Purdy says something needs to be done, especially at the elementary school level. Her son, who goes to Greenlodge, has dairy and egg allergies. During the school day, when everybody is involved in something, I dont think theres any reason why the allergy kids should be singled out, because they cant participate, Purdy said. Is my son (having) lifethreatening peanut allergies? Absolutely not. But he breaks out into hives, he throws up. Purdy said that unfortunately parents with kids who do not have allergies just dont get it. It just doesnt even come across their radar, she said. Parents complain that kids with allergies are ruining things for everyone else, but these few kids with allergies could die from their allergy, she said. Purdy said one reason she is on the Early Childhood Education Center PTO, where she is president, is to make sure that at functions where cookies and cakes are served there is also food that kids with allergies can have. At the ECECs annual Polar Express book event, I will have cookies that all the kids can eat peanut-free, dairyfree, egg-free, she said. The end of bake sales is the passing of an era, said Riverdale parent Meg Duncan, but she has tremendous sympathy for parents whose children have allergies. Theyve already been heading in that direction for awhile. Over the last few years theyve eliminated being able to bring in food for your childs birthday,
she said. So I think this is just extending that policy. Avery PTO Co-President Mary Von Schoppe took the opposite view. Weve already lost the classroom party. Theyve taken away what was a fun event, the classroom party, and now theyre so controlled, she said. The school is a place where education is, and I think it would be better if they educated the children with allergies. Von Schoppe emphasized that the Averys bake sales are only held during parent events. She was happy to hear that the ban would only apply to school hours but she also said that she did not see why they would have to lose the bake sale they were planning for the Christmas concert. For the holiday concert, we would just start the bake sale right at 3, I guess, she said. Von Schoppe said she understands the nurses concerns, but making the individual child aware of their own allergies, to me, is assisting them more. Food allergies is a way of life, and adapting to them does not have to prohibit others from enjoying those things. Deirdre Zaferacopouloss daughter has already had to adapt. The Avery student loves peanut butter, but Zaferacopoulos said she wont send her daughter to school with the sandwiches because of the danger to other kids. (Think of hands with the nutty substance on them.) A peanut butter sandwich doesnt seem worth it to me to put someones life in danger, Zaferacopoulos said. No bake sale is worth anybodys life, she added. If thats what they need to keep the children safe, then thats what they need to keep the children safe.

CROSSFIT AUTOMILE
Are you ready for a high intensity workout?

Manseld couple opens new Norwood gym that offers space and community
By Andrea Salisbury
Emily Anderson joined to lose weight and Sam Burrell wanted to stay active, but both found a passion for CrossFit because they saw a difference. Instead of doing a mirror test or hopping on a scale, you see that you are actually better, that you are stronger. That you are able to go longer and harder (with every exercise), Burrell, 25, said in his new gym. The Manseld couple recently opened CrossFit Automile on Pleasant Street behind the Four Points by Sheraton Norwood. Boasting more than 7,000 square feet of space, Anderson said the gym has plenty of room to grow. On a recent Friday afternoon the couple had just ended a morning session.
Emily Anderson and Sam Burrell recently opened CrossFit Automile at 661 Pleasant Street in Norwood.
WICKED LOCAL STAFF PHOTO BY ANDREA SALISBURY
They had 18 new members register during the grand opening on Sept. 3. Everyone that weve had in here so far is pretty much new to CrossFit, Anderson, 21, said. So, right now our programming is more simple. We are starting
with the basics and as we go we will get to more of the compound movements and things that are more difficult. CrossFit, as the couple explains, is simply varied functional movement performed at a high intensity.
Or, as Burrell said, a lot of things that you might see in every day life. It depends on what you do for a living, but we all move, he said. It can be as simple as picking a pen off the ground or a big bag of groceries. But, we all squat everyday. (CrossFit) is functional things that we do, but performed at a high intensity, but again, intensity is relative. Anderson said the hourlong sessions combine a warm up, mobility, skills, conditioning and a warm down. We combine things in every possible way, she said. Participants keep track of their routines and personal scores, so it is about individual improvement and competition. Everyone is treated like a hero and encouraged throughout the routine.
The most common answer for why people come back to CrossFit is community, she said. You compete with the same people. It makes you do better. It is friendly competition that makes you go further than you ever would on your own. Burrell said when he rst started the biggest draw was, simply, the fun. Most people dont have the chance, as an adult, to do a gymnastics program, he said. You come in here and you have the opportunity to learn new skills. And there is a sense of accomplishment The gym is open seven days a week. Monday through Thursday, it hosts classes at 5:15 a.m., 6:30 a.m., 8 a.m., 9:15 a.m., noon, 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Fridays feature the same schedule except for the 7 p.m. class.
On Saturdays, the gym offers a 10 a.m. class and Sunday is open gym from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. There are several levels of membership available. An unlimited membership is $165 per month; three times a week is $135 a month. Through Nov. 1, the gym is offering one week free and then $50 for the rst month. CrossFit Automile has also teamed up with the Sheraton Four Points hotel to offer members access to the hotels locker rooms, pool and hot tub. Other discounts can be found at www.crosstautomile.com. Anderson and Burrell hope to eventually host CrossFit competitions at the gym and expand its staff, but for now, Burrell said, our big goal is to ll this gym with smiling faces, just having a good time.

NORWOOD RECREATION
Town Halloween plans in the works

By Brad Cole
bcole@wickedlocal.com
October is just around the corner, which means children will soon get to enjoy dressing up in costume, eating candies and celebrating Halloween. Its a fun time to be a child and a fun time to be a recreation director, Recreation Director Jerry Miller said at the Sept.
18 Board of Selectmen meeting. Halloween is just such a big time. The Norwood Recreation Department is sponsoring several Halloween-themed events, several of which are new to town. The first is the Halloween Costume Swap, which runs from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12. Parents are encouraged to donate gently-worn Halloween costumes to the recreation department by Oct. 11, and then search through the donated costumes on Oct. 12, to try to find a new childrens costume
for Halloween 2012. The kids go through costumes like they go through ice skates or soccer cleats, Miller said, and this gives parents an opportunity to swap their older Halloween costumes. Also new this year are pumpkins and scarecrows on the Norwood Town Common. Were just trying to bring the feel of Halloween to the downtown area, Miller said. On Saturday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., families are invited to come to the Norwood Town Common to design and decorate scarecrows and pumpkins. A wood post will be supplied, but families must bring materials for decoration. Prizes will be awarded to the most unique scarecrows and pumpkins. There is a $10 entry fee.
Once it catches on, we think people will enjoy it, Miller said. He said he would love to see scarecrows and pumpkins throughout town, not just on the town common. The third new activity is Halloween Trunk or Treat. Miller said some parents feel uneasy about letting their children go trick-or-treating, and Trunk or Treat provides a safe alternative. People pull in, decorate their trunks, and children can trick-ortreat right there, Miller said. The event is free, and runs from 5 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 in the municipal parking lot across from the Civic Center. People interested in handing out candy from their car must register with the recreation department by
Saturday, Oct. 13. Spaces are limited. Two longtime Halloween traditions are returning. Once again, the Recreation Department is sponsoring the Halloween Pumpkinfest and the Halloween Spooktacular. The pumpkinfest is on Thursday, Oct. 25, and runs from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Children ages three to eight are invited to attend, and they will be given the opportunity to decorate pumpkins with feathers, hats, hair and more. The pumpkinfest costs $5 for residents and $10 per non-resident. The Halloween Spooktacular is on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 3 to 4:30 p.m., and features games, a DJ, a costume parade, crafts, snacks, face painting and more. The Spooktacular costs $5 for residents and $10 per non-resident.

A Norfolk Superior Court judge ordered two brothers who claimed their sister was red from a car dealership because she had cancer to pay Clay Nissan $1.5 million for defamation. Adam and Jonathan Colter organized a protest at the dealerships Newton location in July, claiming that their sisters termination from her job at Clay Nissan in Norwood was immoral. The two brothers organized a social media campaign against the dealership with
a BoycottClayNissan website and Facebook page. Judge Renee Dupuis found that the Colters jumped to the conclusion that their sister was red because she had cancer. The judge ruled that the Colters ignored facts that wouldve caused a reasonable person to conclude that Jill Colter wasnt red because she had cancer and found that they instead stepped up their campaign against the dealership. Employees of the dealership received angry, threatening and disturbing emails
from followers of the Colters Facebook page and website. Clays business has been severely and adversely impacted, Dupuis wrote in the decision. In the month of July 2012 alone, the business suffered a loss of over $100,000 higher than normal. The judge heard the case in an evidentiary hearing held on Aug. 13-14, where four witnesses testied. Dupuis is ordering Adam and Jonathan Colters assets to be seized.

LOVE STORY
It started in Riverdale
By Andrea Salisbury
They call it serendipitous love. The story of Billy Lewis and Louise Molander spans decades, starting with them meeting as twinkly-eyed middle schoolers in Riverdale and ending with a chance meeting at Lowes. Forty-four years later, Louise said, smiling and shaking her head. She was on Day 3 of being Louise Lewis. Billy sat across from her in their Norwood living room as Louise explained their history. They grew up in the same Riverdale neighborhood. Louise said in grade school she would bike past his house, but it wasnt until middle school that Billy started to notice her. He eventually gave her his tie clip. As they got older, the two attended junior high dances, but they became closer through church. The two attended Riverdale Congregational Church, sang in the choir an organized various events. It is this shared faith, Louise said, that sets the foundation for their relationship today. Upon graduating high school in 1967, Louise and Billy went their own ways. They each started families and they each got divorced. In 2009, Louise joined the Dedham High Alumni Association to help plan a 60th birthday party during the annual grand reunion. Part of her job was to send out invites. She got about 70 envelopes back as undeliverable. Billys wasnt one of them, but he never responded to the in-

vite. To this day he insists he never received one. The party came and went and there was still no word from Billy. Then he went to Lowes in Dedham. A mutual friend who worked at the hardware store part time saw Billy and shouted from the ladder, Lousie Molander is looking for you. Email addresses were exchanged and eventually Billy and Louise met for dinner at Joes American Bar and Grill on Providence Highway. That was July 9, 2010. Perhaps it was a matter perfect of timing, Louise said, that they met when they did. We can get into this destiny thing. If Billy had gone to the party, he was involved with someone and I was involved, nothing would have happened, she said. It was just, it was just amazing. And it was just our time because back in the day, maybe we wouldnt have made it. Over the following year
their relationship evolved over with nights out at the Oasis in Dedham, dancing to songs performed by Demetri Tsaniklides and becoming reacquainted. And then there was the proposal. With high school girl excitement, Louise shared the story, which involves spinach. Her daughter had given them a gift certificate to Olivadi in Norwood. Now it was only seven months later, she said. I said, lets go use that gift card. At that point I didnt know what he had up his sleeve. The two planned on a nice night out, but didnt consider reservations. There were no seats in the inn, Billy said. Yup, we didnt make reservations, she said. We go in there and the place is empty, but it was all reserved. The waitress eventually came out and said a table opened up. Anyway, I had something on a bed of spinach. And I was smiling and a laughing and Billy said to me would it be appropriate for a boyfriend to tell his girlfriend that she has spinach on her tooth, Louise said. She then ran to the bathroom and when she came back, he had taken his mothers ring out of his pocket. There really was spinach on my teeth he said, look to your left. Louise said she took the ring and pushed at back to him and said, put it on. And I said yes. Then bang-bang before you knew it, it was (our wedding day) and that was it, she said.
AYP
From Page 1
In 2011, for English language arts, the state target for AYP was 95.1 percent of students being proficient, and 90.6 percent in mathematics. Only two of Dedhams six schools Dedham High School and Oakdale Elementary School made AYP,
but the four who failed arent alone. According to state figures, 82 percent of schools failed to make AYP in 2011, up from 67 percent of schools that failed in 2010. Under the No Child Left Behind federal law, schools that fail to make AYP multiple years in a row suffer consequences. The greater the number of years a school fails, the greater the consequences, according to the state Department of Educations website. However, late last week President Barrack Obama announced that he would like to allow the states to decide if they will take part in No Child Left Behind. He wants to provide them with the option of creating their own plans to improve student performance. Currently the current rules, schools that receive money under the federal Title I program, which strives to improve academic achievement of disadvantaged children, must have further impositions when failing to make AYP. The Avery School is the only school receiving such funds among the Dedham Public Schools. In the second year, schools that receive federal Title I money must offer students a choice of another school within the district where they can go if their parents wish. All schools must develop a two-year plan to turn the school around. Of Dedhams elementary schools, Oakdale and Greenlodge have no status with the No Child Left Behind Law. Avery and Riverdale have both reached the lowest level of needing improvement. The Dedham Middle School has failed to make AYP for three consecutive years and Dedham High School had failed three consequent years, but made AYP
this year. Reaching the AYP marks for two years in a row pulls a school out of danger. Principals took turns presenting tactics Dedham schools will employ to raise test scores to the School Committee. Included among them are using a new reading program for first through third grade called Treasures; establishing focused hour-long reading groups for older elementary students, continuing specialized MCAS classes for six weeks in advance of testing and working with newly hired library media specialists, which had previously been cut from the budget, but were restored this year. Its been three years since we had full time library media specialists, Riverdale Principal Doris Claypool said. After two weeks that has made a huge difference to the whole morale of the staff. I think if we were suffering a little with English language arts, that was a component we were missing. Superintendent June Doe said the district would continue to focus on mathematics as well as English language arts. I wouldnt want anyone to think were neglecting math, Doe said. At the middle school, more accelerated math classes will be offered, according to Dedham Middle School Principal Debra Gately. She also requested the use of the districts math coach, who had previously focused on elementary school math. In other business, the board approved extending Does contract for another two years. Her contract will now expire on June 30, 2014.

Using a small paintbrush, Ciara LaGrass turned hands blue, red, green and yellow. Then, with all the precision the young campers could muster, handprints worked their way up the once stark white poles and walls of the Dedham Community House. Over two days last week, Boston University freshmen participating in the FirstYear Student Outreach Project transformed the basement of the community house into a colorful wonder world. Students move in a week early and do community service all week, explained Yelena Shuster, a junior at BU DONAHUE REAL ESTATE

and project leader. She said it is exciting to see students become excited about helping others. Earlier this year a group of Boston University students contacted Michelle Persson Reilly, executive director of the community house, with the idea of painting a mural at the house. Persson Reilly excitedly showed off the bright mural
Friday, Sept. 2, in the basement of the house that the campers helped create. All the age groups are represented here, she said, pointing out the handpainted flowers and red bird that added to the outdoor scene. The younger campers participating in the Dedham Community House summer camp added green handprints to the branches of the big tree.

Police: Man stole GPS unit; attacked woman

DEDHAM Police said they arrested Dennis Rogers Jr., 18, on charges of violating a restraining order; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, to wit a door; breaking and entering in the daytime for a felony, placing a person in fear; receiving stolen property over $250; and assault and battery after a violent altercation on Saturday, March 27. Lt. Robert Nedder said that at 5:51 p.m. officers were sent to a Farrington Avenue address after getting a report of a housebreak and a restraining order violation. When an officer turned onto Fisher Road, he saw the suspect later identified as Rogers, police said. The man started running through several backyards and jumping fences, Nedder said. On Bingham Avenue several residents pointed the officer in the direction Rogers was running, and he was ultimately arrested in the backyard of a home on Crest Avenue, Nedder said. The victim said that when she came home she noticed food from the refrigerator was gone, as was money from her sons wallet, and a GPS unit that was in her pantry, Nedder said. When she saw Rogers on the street about 25 yards away, Nedder said, she ran to confront him, and he initially went into a car, but then got out and started to push her. The woman took the money and GPS back from Rogers and ran back to the house, and he chased her, Nedder said. Shes trying to close the doorthen he hits her several times with the door and is able to push his way back in, he said. Inside Rogers chased her, punching her neck and shoulders, and pushing over furniture along the way, Nedder said. Rogers got the GPS back and continued to chase the victim and strike her with his fist until she managed to call police, he said. After pushing her to the floor in the kitchen, Rogers dropped the GPS and ran out, according to Nedder. After Rogers was caught, police found in his possession part of the window mount for the GPS unit, Nedder said. An officer also powered up the GPS and tracked it back to its owner, who said it had been stolen out of his vehicle the previous Wednesday or Thursday, Nedder added. Rogers pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court March 29, and is due back there for a pretrial hearing April 27, Nedder said. He is homeless, so no address is listed on the arrest log, he added.
man, who was later identified as Cronin, Nedder said. Barrett detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the truck, while Cronin said he had gone out to get cigarettes, according to Nedder. After Cronin stepped out of his white 2002 Ford van and failed the sobriety tests, he was arrested, Nedder said. Cronin pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court on March 29, and is due back there for a pretrial hearing April 26, Nedder said.

commitment through my participation. : How have you been fundraising? How much have you raised? : At this point, I have raised $1,800 from just colleagues and friends. Facebook has been a great help because I post updates on my training progress every week and include a link to my fundraising page I have had people Im not even friends with make donations because one of my friends will pass it along to someone they know and all of a sudden I have donations from the entire family of a stroke survivor. How can people support Q::you inmy site to make a the run? Visit Adonation - tedysteam2010.kintera.org/boston/ timpf - but most importantly and this is to support everyone, not just me dont stop cheering! Those of us at the back of the pack, in some ways, need the support even more than those in the front, especially near the end. Yell their name if it is written on their bib number, walk or run with them for a while if they look like they are hurting and pick someone up if you see them fall do what you can to help people get to the finish line. In 2007, when I got to Heartbreak Hill, the streets had started to re-open so I had to move to the sidewalk. People were jumping in the middle of the road to stop traffic for me so I didnt have to wait at the lights, they were in front of their houses with bowls of
About Kim
Age: 40-something Lives in: Station 250 behind Legacy Place Mall Favorite running song: Come Go With Me, by the Del Vikings because it is my fathers favorite song he is in a wheelchair and unable to walk as the result of his stroke, so hearing it keeps me going when it gets tough because it reminds me why I am doing this and that I am blessed to be able to do something he will never be able to do. Occupation: Outside The Classroom, Needham
How are Q::for thebeen)you preparing Q run? (Ive training since Aearly December,the team, A long runs every weekend with cross-training during the week. What is your goal time? Q::My goal is always just to Afinish. I never focus on time because it doesnt matter to me. I already know Im not going to be in the top group, so I try not to make myself crazy. When you cross a finish line after 26.2 miles, for me, there is no feeling like it and that is all I can think of I never stop to say, so, what was my time? because Im too busy celebrating the momentand looking for ice. : Why are you running with Tedys Team? : Ive been doing marathons and halfmarathons for 6 years, first with Train to End Stroke and now with Tedys Team both organizations raise money for the American Stroke Association to fund stroke research. My father (Richard) had a stroke 10 years ago. He survived the stroke, but not the rehab. What I mean by that is that he received such poor physical therapy as he was recovering that he developed a contracture in his leg and is now in a wheelchair. This is one of the reasons that time doesnt matter to me even if I have to walk the entire race, I am doing more than my father will ever be able to do. I am also incredibly motivated by the work that Tedy and Heidi Bruschi do to raise awareness for stroke. There are a number of famous stroke survivors, but for any number of reasons ranging from personal to professional, most have done little to raise awareness. However, from the moment Tedy Bruschi, a former Patriots linebacker, was given the green light to get back on the field he also began speaking out about what happened to him from that moment he has never missed an opportunity to educate people about stroke. Tedy and Heidi also appreciate how fortunate they are and know very well the struggles and challenges that many stroke survivors and their families continue to face every day. They are two of the nicest, most sincere people you will ever meet and their spirit, commitment, and support are making a difference so I am honoring their
oranges and water, and a big group of Red Sox fans that were coming from the game turned around and followed me, cheering me along until I got to Hereford Street where the street was still closed to the finish line it was an amazing experience! Will you have famQ:ily/friendsyouthe sidelines on ready to cheer on? : Our office is given that Acompanyoff if anyone in Monday the runs Boston the only requirement is that everyone has to be out cheering on the sidelines. There are also former Tedys Team members and friends and family of current team members that are out there on race day all part of one big family and the minute any of them see the blue Tedys Team shirt coming, they go crazycow bells, horns, anything they can do to lift you up. Its incredible. Dedham Transcript editor Andrea Salisbury can be reached at 781-433-8322 or asalisbu@cnc.com

Man charged with OUI

DEDHAM Police said they arrested Richard Cronin, 47, of 26 Belknap St., on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol after he was found asleep behind the wheel of his work truck on his street and failed field sobriety tests. Lt. Robert Nedder said that on Saturday, March 27 at 7:40 p.m. Officer John Barrett was sent to Sawmill Lane on a report of an erratic driver, with a caller saying that the plumbing truck had turned onto Belknap Street. When Barrett arrived there, he saw a large box truck with Richard Cronin Plumbing stenciled on its back sitting in front of a house, Nedder said. The truck was turned off but its lights were on, and a man was asleep in the drivers seat, with his head help up by the steering wheel, he added. Barrett knocked on the window to wake up the
DEDHAM Police said they arrested Alex Depas, 22, of 44 Sunnyside St. in Hyde Park, on charges of possession of a Class D drug with intent to distribute, after marijuana baggies fell out of his pants while he was being questioned by police. On Saturday night, March 27, at about 8:45 p.m., Officer John Hennessey was sent to Bonham Road after someone reported getting shot with a BB gun pellet sent from a white Toyota Corolla occupied by three or four men, said Lt. Robert Nedder. As Hennessey checked the area, he found a white sedan parked with its engine running on Lancaster Road, and as he approached the driver laid back so Hennessey could only see his head from the eyes up, Nedder said. Hennessey passed and went down Lancaster for about 500 feet until turning his cruiser around. The sedan, a white 1997 Acura CL sports coupe, was now heading north, and Hennessey followed. When the sedan took a right turn onto Sprague Street but did not signal, Hennessey put on his blue lights and stopped the car, Nedder said. The driver, Depas, told police he owned the car but did not have his license with him, and that he had been outside the home on Lancaster to see three friends, Nedder said. Asked whom, Depas hesitated and only gave one first name, he added. Asked again why he was there, Depas said he was just hanging out there and smoking pot, according to Nedder. Police have been getting complaints from neighbors about suspicious possible drug activity in that area of Lancaster, Nedder said. Officer Kevin Mahoney asked Depas to leave the car, and saw two cell phones on the passenger seat, one of which was constantly vibrating, Nedder said. Often drug dealers will use two phones, one for their drug activities and one for personal use, he noted. Depas said there was a blizz in the ashtray that he was smoking, and that he had a single bag of marijuana in his coat pocket, Nedder said. He kept saying he only had that small bag in his pocket, but officers noticed that his pants were pulled together haphazardly and tightly, Nedder added. The officers had cuffed Depas as a precautionary measure, but as they were taking off the handcuffs expecting to give him a civil citation for the pot a bag of marijuana falls out of his pants leg, Nedder said. An officer told Depas to spread his legs and shook his pants, and two more baggies fell down, Nedder said. Police gave Depas the possession with intent to distribute charge given the circumstances, including the packaging and cell phones, Nedder said. The total amount of marijuana found weighed 1 ounce, he added. Depas pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Dedham District Court March 28, and is due back there for a further pretrial hearing May 11, Nedder said. Dedham Transcript staff writer Edward B. Colby can be reached at 781-433-8336.
Twenty Eight Year Old Back In Shape After Accident!

I have been an athlete all my life but after a car accident I could no longer participate in the sports I loved. I had given up on the goal of ever being in shape like I was before. I checked out Get In Shape For Women after a friend told me about it. That was 4 months ago, 13 pounds, 11 inches and 2 dress sizes! The staff have given me back the confidence I need to make my goals a reality. I encourage anyone who wants to be healthier to join their local Get In Shape For Women. It has truly changed my life.

WALPOLE MURDER
Police: Case notes destroyed

State troopers tell judge it was practice to discard notes after writing report
By Edward B. Colby
The belated disclosure of police notes took on greater weight in the murder case of Paul Moccia and Daniel Bradley Tuesday, as a Norfolk Superior Court judge concluded that five days of hearings had produced notes that should have been produced a long time ago and said
there is a whole range of possible relief he could impose that could affect the case and its trial date. Judge Kenneth Fishman told defense attorneys Steven Boozang and Kevin Reddington to file their requested relief, explaining specifically how the late disclosure of notes has impacted their clients. This case has gotten interminably delayed, for a variety of reasons,
Fishman said. But this shouldnt have happened. We shouldnt be dealing with this right now. I want to deal with this promptly. While some things were clarified Tuesday, nothing was resolved, and Fishman ordered the two sides to return to court Thursday morning for a further hearing.

The Dedham Transcript says hello to subscriber Mary Jo Cutler
While the residents of the memory support units at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center Dedham struggle with varying degrees of memory loss, their caretakers have noticed that they still strongly remember traditions of holidays such as Passover, which began at sundown Monday, April 18. Dr. Susan Kalish, a geriatrician at HRC and a clinical instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School, spoke with the Dedham Transcript via email about this remarkable trend.

Q: Why do you think Hebrew Rehabilitation Center residents who have lost their memories or cant sometimes remember names can still remember the prayers and customs of holidays such as Passover? A: Song and ritual have been ingrained in our being from birth, and the brain wiring that responds to these elements is much more basic, if you will, than the brain functions

Still a bit sore from running in the Boston Marathon, Christine Williams was at work the following day with as much energy as she had the week before. It was fabulous, she told the Dedham Transcript about run-
ning her first marathon. Her time was 4:52, a bit longer than she expected. I took some photos along the way. It was such a good day for a run. It was worth every ounce of pain I am feeling today. Williams is the studio manager for Get in Shape for Women

After the unanimous vote, Coughlin, 48, who is in his third year on the board, thanked his fellow members for the opportunity, as well as his predecessor, Thomas Ryan, for his efforts and hard work over the last year. The countless hours you spent on AYP, recess issues, the new Avery School and athletic complex, and most recently navigating through the capital budget process, you represented the board with class and a true professional, he said.

that are lost as memory loss progresses. Engagement in the prayers and ceremonies associated with Passover is both reflexive and joyful. We dont know exactly why this is the case, but it is something we see consistently.
Q: Have you seen this effect play out in other religious traditions? Which ones, and how? A: I havent had specific experience with seeing this in other religious traditions, but certainly we see it all the time with song people who dont even talk will start singing songs (with the right words!) that they knew from their youth, and their faces and bodies will come alive.
Q: It would seem that for family members, or caretakers such as yourself, seeing residents with memory prob-
lems being able to remember much more at Passover would be exciting, and possibly rejuvenative. Is this one of the best times of the year to be working with your patients? A: If you surveyed a group of Jewish people about which holiday is most filled with positive family connections, memories, and rich experiences, I believe Passover would win hands down. In addition to the deeply ingrained aspects of ritual and song, it is a holiday that employs all the senses, which further reinforce and multiply the power of memory. Since one of the themes of the holiday is rebirth and spring, it is also a very optimistic and joyful season for all of us working with elders. Interestingly, many of our elderly patients remain committed to following the dietary requirements of Passover, which include no bread or leavened products,
and more or less serving matzah in every conceivable form (matzoh balls, kugel, and many other Passover foods are basically ground up matzah which is recooked). This can do a number on the GI system, which is no fun for anybody! So in this case it can be a challenging time for our patients and the caregivers, because we want to honor their traditions and lifelong food rituals, but also encourage them with ways to attend to their present health.

Q: Im guessing that because of the formulaic nature of the Seder, memory loss patients tend to retain that information. Can that sort of repetition be translated into daily life? A: Absolutely! Rituals, particularly those associated with music, chanted language (in this case the Hebrew and Aramaic of the Seder), and tactile rituals repeated over a
lifetime are retained when so much memory and language expression have been lost. In much the same way, it is vital to maintain predictability and simplicity when creating a home for residents with memory loss. A routine with both predictability and use of sensory input which is not overwhelming, can be both calming and engaging at the same time.

gym on Washington Street, a position she didnt envision having several years ago. It was a later in life decision to get into health and fitness, she said from the studio Wednesday, April 13. I had a good amount of weight to lose myself. Williams hired a personal trainer and lost 40 pounds. I love the accountability (of having a personal trainer) and meanwhile I hated my job at the time, she smiled. So, I got certified as a personal trainer. With a background in business, it was a prefect match when the spot opened up at the Dedham gym, she said. (Get in Shape for Women) couples my love for fitness with my business background, she said, outside the main room where an automated voice instructs patrons to move to the next station. I like helping women. You could say Ive been there, done that. I understand what it takes to lose the weight; I under-
stand the whole journey that these women are on. Get in Shape for Women is based in Needham with franchises across the country. The Dedham location opened in January and has three personal trainers on staff that guide the women through the one-hour workout. You get your strength in, you get your cardio in and then you can go about your day, Williams said. It is very to the point, and we want you to sweat in that hour. It is not a walk in the park. On a recent Wednesday morning three women are at the gym. One woman is on the treadmill ending her routine and two are on the strength equipment. Randy Jarvis, a part-time trainer at the gym, instructs Lindsey Looney to stand up, back straight. The one-on-one motivation is huge, the Dedham
resident said in between breaths. I need the push and Randys passion is a huge motivation. Looney exercises at the gym three days a week, which Williams said is typical. Each session is on average $19 and includes a half-hour strength training workout and an interval based cardio workout on the treadmill. The third element, Williams said, is she works with the women to develop a 6-day nutrition plan. Once a week they check weight and body fat percentage to make sure participants are reaching their goals. And if you dont make your goal, Holly Costa said, the trainers are right there. There is always someone there to pick me back up and keep me going, the Dedham resident said and added the motivation is what pulls her though so that, every day is the best day. Williams said the Get in
Shape for Women program isnt for everyone. The studio only allows up to 150 members, so there isnt more than eight women at a time working out. This also allows for a personal connection with the trainers. The Dedham gym currently has just over 40 members at different levels of fitness, Williams said. The majority of our women have weight to lose, she said. We have a good handful of women who are already fit and want to maintain (their weight). What is really important is the commitment that they are ready to work out. They could just go to a gym, but they wont. They want a trainer who will crack the whip on them. This is something Williams personally understands. I always want to set my goals and show my ladies too that they can do everything, she said and explained that is part of the reason why she signed up for the Boston Marathon. My ladies have been so behind me. I am excited. (I want to show them) whatever it is you want to do, you can do it. Nothing is insurmountable. You can do it.

When her close friend, Seona Standard, was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in September of 2009, everything changed for Mara Gorden. The diagnosis was extreme, the Dedham resident said on a recent Thursday morning. It already spread to the liver. Standard, a Needham resident and mother of two young girls, was getting a massage when she felt a pain in her breast. Gorden said everything moved so quickly afterwards. Standard called her doctor, had multiple mammograms that didnt detect the lump, and finally an ultrasound detected the lump in her breast. Tests later showed the stage four breast cancer had spread to her liver, Gorden said. At the time of the diagnosis, Standard was 38. They caught it so late in the game, Gorden said. What could have happened? I dont know. Could she have just dropped dead, and no one would have known why? It is just such a horrifying thought. After 18 weeks of chemotherapy and treatment, Standards cancer is in remission. Nobody expected, no body. It is really incredible, Gorden said. Shes made unbelievable changes to her lifestyle in terms of meditation. Shes completely revamped her diet and taken all kinds of supplements, acupuncture, and massage. But, Gorden admits, the fight isnt over. Stage four breast cancer is going to come back, she said. So now the hope is to keep it under control. This is where team Mind Over Matter steps in. On July 23, Gorden, Standards husband, John, and Dedham resident Janet Holmes will join thousands in Boston for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for a Cure. Our slogan is team Mind Over Matter, 60-miles in 3 days, one breath at a time, Gorden said. A lot of that is to

represent Seonas whole way of being, in terms of how shes embraced yoga and meditation as a way of being in battling this horrible disease. Though the walk is months away, Gorden said her team is in fundraising and training mode. Each of us have to raise individually $2,300, Gorden said. As of Tuesday afternoon the team has collectively raised $5,921. Gorden said she has exceeded the required amount but plans to raise much more. It is a really good goal to have. To say that you can walk 60 miles in three days, that is something to aspire to, Gorden said. I also look at it like, if she can go through chemo every single week and all that goes with that. I am going to walk 60 miles and it is going to end. Her struggle never ends. Gorden has been walking every weekend with Homes, rain or shine. She admits that walking 60 miles is a bit overwhelming. But Janet and I are out there. Gorden said. We are up to 10.5 miles on the weekends. (The 3-day) has a really good program, in terms of guiding you through a 24-week training program. So it is not like suddenly you have to walk 60 miles. In preparing for their walk, Gorden said her team has a string of fundraisers lined up, with one planned for Saturday at Uno Chicago Grill on Providence Highway. For this fundraiser, Uno will donate 20 percent of participants checks to the team. To get your ticket e-mail teammindeovermatter3day@gmail.com or visit www.thegordens.com/mindove rmatter.htm. Gorden and her team will be at the restaurant collecting donations and selling team Mind Over Matter T-shirts. The pink shirts feature the team logo - a yoga person sitting with hands

Gorden said the outpouring of local support has been incredible. L.L. Bean has donated three camel-pack backpacks for the walk. For Gorden, helping spread the word and supporting the research done through Komen is the goal of the entire walk. The philosophy behind Komen is someday we wont have to walk because there will be a cure, she said. In my childrens lifetime there wont be this whole need to fundraise because there wont be a problem anymore.

The Democratic primary field for an open state Senate seat has a new candidate: Westwood attorney Michael F. Walsh. He said hes running for the seat long held by state Sen. Marian Walsh because nobodys being impacted more by the economy than small businesses right now. That includes his own Westwood law office, at 9 Westwood Terrace, which once had four employees but now has just two Walsh and a secretary. Its time to start getting people back to work, and it starts with small businesses, he said. Nobody generates more work than small business to get the economy going. Walsh promoted creating incentives to get people off unemployment rolls and back at work floating a moratorium on payroll taxes for six months or a year. Small business creates more jobs in the country than large business. Thats why its important to give us a tax initiative to start hiring more people. If every small business puts one more person to work, pretty soon well be in much better shape, he said in a phone interview today. It wont cure it overnight, but it will get it started, and thats what we need. Walsh, 47, said he is putting together a campaign commit-
tee and intends to gather the 300 signatures he needs to get on the ballot due April 27. He said he would also be out in Dedham collecting signatures on its election day, Saturday, April 10. In the September primary he would go up against state Rep. Michael Rush, D-West Roxbury, who has been actively targeting the Senate seat since last year. Rush, a fourth-term House member, would be the decided favorite. Michael Walsh said he seriously considered running a year ago, after Marian Walsh lined up a high-paying job at an obscure state financing authority. She ultimately withdrew from the position after heavy criticism of her and Gov. Deval Patrick. In January she announced she would not run for another term in the Senate, where she has been since 1993. Michael Walsh finished last in a four-way race for two Norfolk County commissioner seats in November 2008, learning the hard way that independent candidates rarely get elected. He returned to the Democratic rolls two days after the election. (One bright spot was his win in Westwood, with 37 percent.) Then, last April, Walsh lost an election for the Westwood Housing Authority by 63 votes. I put my name on the ballot, and then I didnt campaign at all, and I only lost by 60 votes, he said, adding that he is opti-
mistic there will be a different result this time. Walsh, who has been a workers compensation attorney for 22 years, grew up in Dorchester and lived in West Roxbury for 11 years before moving to Westwood in 2006. The Senate district includes West Roxbury, parts of Hyde Park and Roslindale, and Dedham, Norwood and Westwood. So I know city politics and now for the last four years, I know town politics. I know how they work, Walsh emphasized. He sketched out his positions on other issues, saying Massachusetts needs more 24hour community health centers so people dont have to run to the emergency room if theyre not in a dire emergency, cutting down on costs from unnecessary ER visits. The sales tax should be rolled back from 6.25 to 5 percent, he said. Theyre looking for alternatives, whether they buy online, whether they go to New Hampshire, Walsh said of consumers. The 6.25 (rate) is not helping the economy the way it shouldbecause people are looking for ways to avoid it. Walsh said he is late getting out of the gate because I really had to get my wife on board. They have three children who are 6, 8 and 10 years old. You have to be out six nights, seven nights a week, you have to make sure your wifes on board with that, he said.
Mother of Three Down to 114 Pounds!

I have lost 16 pounds and 6.4% body fat to date. I know I could not have achieved this without the help and encouragement of the staff at Get In Shape. After years of being a competitive runner, I became unmotivated. The staff gave me the desire to want to push to get myself back into shape and be healthy.
