DSMS sixth graders present civilization projectBy Laura DrinanHometown Weekly Correspondent As the school year winds down, most middle school students are thinking about
their two and a half months away from homework and tests. But before Dover Sherborn Middle School’s sixth graders could feel the relief of summer vacation around the corner, they were tasked with one final project: to create their own civilizations.

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.

Library attendees learn how to juggle
BY PETER KOUGIAS
Hometown Weekly Intern
On Tuesday, June 13, Philip a
nd Lois
Czachorowski taught a group
of local
citizens how to juggle. While th
e weather
cooled down from the muggy
day, some
broke a sweat trying to juggle se
veral bean
bags at once.
The Czachorowskis’ workshop
will run
throughout the summer, so that
others can
learn the art of juggling.
Philip Czachorowski led the g
roup by
introducing the basics. He start
ed out by
saying “you never know when
you might
impress somebody at a party or w
ork.”
Czachorowski demonstrated the
cascade.
This is the simple move of tos
sing three
balls in the air. It is a pattern th
at can be
mastered just by sitting in fro
nt of the
television.
The Czachorowskis aided atten
dees with
tips on how to get started. Many
picked up
the skill right away. After a
few drops,
everybody was on track. Lois Cza
chorowski
mentioned that juggling is a grea
t new way
to teach motor skills. She also
mentioned
it’s better to practice 10-15 minut
es a day so
one’s brain can learn the coordi
nation and
movements. Long periods ca
n hinder
overall performance due to exhau
stion.
Eventually, the curious crowd too

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.
