Senate President Karen Spilka Appoints Three Members to Citizens Commission

Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland) appointed three members to serve on a newly-created Citizens Commission to advocate for a potential constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in Citizens United, with the goal of curtailing corporate political donations.

"Big money has been shown to have a corrupting influence in our politics, and I am excited to see the work of the new Citizens Commission get underway," said Senate President Spilka. "These three individuals are experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to public service. I have every confidence they will ably advocate for Massachusetts' interests when it comes to the regulation of Citizens United."

Noval Alexander serves on the Framingham School Committee and Framingham School Building Committee. He is a substitute teacher in the towns of Needham, Wellesley and Natick. Alexander is a decorated retired Army veteran who served 25 years in the Army Reserves and two tours of Active Duty.

Jay Marsden serves as Chair of the Holliston Board of Selectmen. He is an estate planning lawyer at Marsden Law P.C. and works as a financial planner at Solares Hill Advisors.

Costas Panagopoulos is a Professor of Political Science at Northeastern University. He previously directed the Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy at Fordham University.

Massachusetts is the first state to create a Citizens Commission. Appointments were made by Senate President Spilka, Governor Charles Baker, Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo, Attorney General Maura Healey, and Secretary of State William Galvin. The application process was public and on a website created by the Governor's office.

All appointees to the Citizens Commission serve on a voluntary basis without compensation. A report with recommendations for constitutional amendments is due by December 31, 2019.

A 2018 ballot measure, which passed with 71.4% of the vote, created the non-partisan, 15-member commission.

April 30, 2019 To the Tri-County Community, One MCAS exam down and two more to go. It's a very busy spring here at TC with MCAS exams, spring sports, robotics and Skills USA State Championships all happening at once. Our sophomores sat for our first MCAS electronic on-line exam just before vacation. The students were more experienced at taking the exam in this format than we were in giving it. Our concerns regarding infrastructure, bandwidth, and all the assorted electronic aspects of the exam were not realized and things went off without a hitch.  Many thanks to Mrs. Beckmann and the academic and special education teachers that proctored the exam, they spent a great deal of time preparing and I'm sure it will pay off. Spring sports are in full swing and we are getting some games in despite the weather. Spring is always a challenge. If it's not raining, it's drying off from raining. All of our teams including baseball, softball, lacrosse, and track have winning records and are looking towards making their state tournament competition goals. We also have several girls participating in a girl's lacrosse club team as well. The next couple of weeks will really round out seasons as we participate almost every day in either a scheduled or a makeup game.  Our robotics team had a great year qualifying for the First Robotics State Competition, they came up a little short at states of reaching their goal of returning to the World Championships in Detroit. One of our HUNCH teams visited NASA as well to demonstrate their design, please read about their account below on our website. Over sixty of our best craftsmen qualified for the Skills USA State Competition with 5 students winning Gold, again please read the full account below. John Winship represented TC at the State Vocational Student of the Year dinner. Congratulations John!  Julia Farrell was awarded the Dean College Scholarship for next year. Congratulations Julia! Over 200 district eighth graders were here this past Saturday taking our ninth grade placement exam as part of their application/entry process for TC. Thanks to all the parents that got the students here and stayed around to discover our school while the students took the exam. The spring festivities continue this weekend with our Junior-Senior Prom Friday evening. Then it's on to finals, Senior week, and graduation.

Charles River Meadowlands Initiative Concludes Third Informational Session

During the month of April, the Charles River Meadowlands Initiative (CRMI) and Beta consultants, held input sessions in Bellingham, Franklin, and their final session on April 29 in Medway. The sessions were designed to provide information to the public about the potential for trails and passive recreation developments in and around the flood control lands in the three towns controlled by the US Army Corps of Engineers as well as adjacent public properties. 

Each event included displays of maps, a brief introduction about CRMI and a presentation by Beta about their study. Attendance at the events averaged about 25 people. As a follow up, attendees or anyone interested in the project can complete a survey available at www.charlesrivermeadowlands.org.

Beta will be working to finalize their study in the coming weeks and it will be posted on the Meadowlands website at that time.

When we laugh, we energize
our bodies and revive our spirits

Enjoy this delightful practice, appropriate for all ages and levels of fitness.When we laugh, we energize our bodies and revive our spirits. All that is involved is deep breathing and a few stretches, playful laughter exercises (no jokes or comedy), clapping and deep relaxation. 

It has many benefits besides the joy of laughter. It can strengthen the immune system, combat the negative effects of stress, and is a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety. 

$5 donation to the church, $10 maximum per family. Please bring your water bottle because laughing can be dehydrating.

Tri-County: New Community Website Promotes a Healthier Society

One of the greatest assets a community has are its schools. With the ever-increasing rising costs of healthcare, Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School Medical Careers and Dental Assisting students wanted to help the community to find and be aware of the many medical resources that are available to them. The students sought to foster participation in the community through a community-wide health promotion called, Tri-County Take Care, so members could educate themselves in finding the answers to concerns they may have regarding their health.

The students in the Dental Assisting and Medical Careers vocational programs were challenged with working in each of their individual vocation to create and research healthcare opportunities to educate the larger Tri-County Community. The goal of the initiative is to provide their Tri-County classmates, their families and the community with health information, tips, and resources to be better informed leading to a healthier community. The Computer Information Systems (CIS) career vocation was then brought in to create the website that would house the information.

Under the supervision of licensed vocational teachers, students acted as the project managers in order to ensure the website met certain specifications. "Tri-County students were really the driving force behind this project," said Ariel Dagan, Library Media Specialist at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School. "We were there to provide support as needed, but they were able to use their prior knowledge, research skills, collaboration techniques, creative thinking and personal investment to come up with an informative website that the members in our community can benefit from basic health information."

To assess the community's health needs, knowledge and comfort level on the subject matter, the students began the project by conducting a community-wide survey. The assessment provided data on which topics to address health concerns. Through interpreting the data, Medical Careers focused on the topic of flu and prevention as well as heart health. Dental Assisting opted to look at how periodontal disease can affect the entire body and how some systemic diseases, such as diabetes, can impact the oral cavity.

Once all the information was compiled, CIS coded/designed the Tri-County Take Care website that provides interactive information to the community. The website also contains demonstration videos and fact sheets with the relevant health topics. To access the website go to https://tricountytakecare.wixsite.com/takecare.

Tri-County Take Care

"The support and nurture of the students by the Tri-County instructors provides these types of initiatives to come together and help our students understand how the education they are getting directly impacts the people within their community," said Dagan. "In addition, a project like this provides the students a window to see the opportunities that have a direct relationship on future careers that serve the people who live in our greater Tri County community and beyond (through online impact)".

The students are excited about the possibility of influencing the community with their knowledge. In fact, this year Dental Assisting students are engaged with Early Education preschoolers and their families to train them on oral health. Forthcoming, a brochure is being designed that will be distributed throughout the school and in the community to spread awareness.

Opportunities presented by communities offer Tri-County students valuable real-world experience that plays a part in their career-focused technical education. Students are able to see the relevance of their academic and career skills that they learn in school and use these skills throughout their career.

Tri-County RVTHS, located at 147 Pond Street in Franklin, is a recipient of the High Schools That Work Gold Achievement Award and serves the communities of Franklin, Medfield, Medway, Millis, Norfolk, North Attleborough, Plainville, Seekonk, Sherborn, Walpole, and Wrentham.

“She always believed in an arts education”

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"Dozens of his late wife’s paintings crowd the pale yellow walls of Robert Seide’s home. 

“We’d be driving somewhere, and she’d say, ‘Pull over!’” Seide recalled, of his wife’s eye for art-worthy scenery. ”‘I want to take a photo to paint later.’” 

The canvases, covered in flowers, landscapes and geometric patterns, are packed end to end with color. One, painted after the shattering 2017 diagnosis of late-stage pancreatic cancer, shows a dark, swirling scene beneath the cheerful flowers she painted over afterward. 

“She loved infusing art into every aspect of her life,” daughter Laura Seide Bishop said. “She always had an eye for color and design, even when she wasn’t painting.”
