On Wednesday, June 14

, Hometown

Weekly visited The Center

at the Medfield

Council on Aging (COA) to

celebrate Flag

Day with a cookout. Many

of the seniors

there had been veterans

and wore red,

white, and blue in honor

of the holiday.

However, the cookout was

not the main

event of the day. Seniors w

ere busy with

fun activities such as line-d

ancing, whist,

bingo and catching up wit

h friends. The

Center offers many service

s and activities

to its members, including

yoga, watching

documentaries, Zumba, and

wood carving

to name a few.

In one room, members were l

ine dancing,

keeping in time with the bea

t. In the main

dining area, others sat at ta

bles with dear

friends and chatted. At one

table was Tom

Sweeney, a Medfield native,

whose favorite

activity is water coloring. W

ith him were

paintings of his favorite pla

ces in the area.

BY PETER KOUGIAS


On Tuesday, June 13, Philip a

of local

citizens how to juggle. While th

The Czachorowskis’ workshop

will run

throughout the summer, so that

others can

Philip Czachorowski led the g

By Mary Kate NolaNHometown Weekly Intern “Could a witch hunt happen again in Salem … and what would it look like if it did? Would we recognize it for what it was before it was too late?” These were the questions around which author Brunonia

Barry based her latest book, “The Fifth Petal.” The plot follows the bloody consequences of the 1692 Salem witch trials reaching all the way to the present day. The town of Salem must accept these consequences when the death of a boy on Halloween night

resembles all too closely the unsolved murders of three women twenty years before while they were attempting to consecrate the graves of women executed for witchcraft.

its fourth annual summer barbecue. Despite the 90-degree weather, many seniors turned out to attend the annual barbecue - so many, in fact, that there were hardly any seats left. While the seniors and staff ate hamburgers and hotdogs, the band Jumpin’ Juba played summer hits while donning in Hawaiian shirts.

The event was co-hosted with the Ellis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. The Ellis works closely with the Westwood COA, and has been owned and operated by the Franchi family for over 40 years.

On Wednesday, June 14

, Hometown

Weekly visited The Center

at the Medfield

Council on Aging (COA) to

celebrate Flag

Day with a cookout. Many

of the seniors

there had been veterans

and wore red,

white, and blue in honor

of the holiday.

However, the cookout was

not the main

event of the day. Seniors w

ere busy with

fun activities such as line-d

ancing, whist,

bingo and catching up wit

h friends. The

Center offers many service

s and activities

to its members, including

yoga, watching

documentaries, Zumba, and

wood carving

to name a few.

In one room, members were l

ine dancing,

keeping in time with the bea

t. In the main

dining area, others sat at ta

bles with dear

friends and chatted. At one

table was Tom

Sweeney, a Medfield native,

whose favorite

activity is water coloring. W

ith him were

paintings of his favorite pla

ces in the area.

Barry based her latest book, “The Fifth Petal.” The plot follows the bloody consequences of the 1692 Salem witch trials reaching all the way to the present day. The town of Salem must accept these consequences when the death of a boy on Halloween night

resembles all too closely the unsolved murders of three women twenty years before while they were attempting to consecrate the graves of women executed for witchcraft.

“It’s so satisfying when I can make a difference in a senior’s life,” said Karen Segreve, the Outreach Counselor at the Westwood Council on Aging (COA). On Tuesday June 13, the Westwood COA had

the 90-degree weather, many seniors turned out to attend the annual barbecue - so many, in fact, that there were hardly any seats left. While the seniors and staff ate hamburgers and hotdogs, the band Jumpin’ Juba played summer hits while donning in Hawaiian shirts.

The event was co-hosted with the Ellis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. The Ellis works closely with the Westwood COA, and has been owned and operated by the Franchi family for over 40 years.
