Our Cover: Lincoln-Sudbury Varsity Hockey player Michael Provvisionato (17), is ready to lace ‘em up his senior season for new coach Kevin Rich when the season kicks-off this month. Provvisionato has been playing hockey since he was 5 years old and has been play-ing for Lincoln-Sudbury since his Sophomore year.
Our Photographer, Sudbury-based Stuart Beeby, is a full-time professional portrait photographer. Unable to get a rink booked for the photo shoot—ice time is a scarce thing in these parts this time of year—he used his bag of tricks, and some creative lighting, to capture the idea of a hockey player, poised for action at the rink, while all being done at his home studio.

LS Hockey Hits the Ice With New Coach
Hockey is more than a sport to those that play it. Many “rink rats” spend their entire life working on their game. But a few, turn that passion toward helping others improve their game. That is true of Kevin Rich, who takes the reigns of the successful L-S hockey this season, which begins on following Thanksgiving. Rich, who lives in Back Bay, has taken a very well-traveled road to get to L-S, starting in Franklin, MA. “I played hockey in High School at Franklin High. We had a very successful program. Following that, I played hockey at Marist College from 2006 to 2010,” Rich says. “I played all four years and was a captain on the team. I learned a lot about hockey during those eight years of high school and college, and knew I wanted to continue in hockey after graduating with a BA in sports communication from Marist.” To continue staying involved in the sport he loves, Rich ap-proached a coach at a D3 Manhattanville College in 2010 to see if he could contribute to the coaching staff. “I bugged the head coach to get on the staff,” recalls Rich. “I told him I’d do anything and would even sweep out locker room if needed. That’s how bad I wanted to get involved in coaching.” It was during that year of volunteer coaching at the D3 school that Rich says he was exposed to far more than sweeping out locker rooms, learning “a ton” about coaching both men and women’s hockey. But, unfortunately, life as a volunteer coach doesn’t pay a ton.
Rich, who currently works at Cambridge-based software com-pany HubSpot, was approached by a friend about a sales role with EMC and he moved back to Franklin at the end of the 2010-2011 season. But, despite the move back “home,” and starting a new career, Rich knew that he would be on the bench again and for a long time. In 2011 he stepped back on the ice as the assistant coach at West-on High School. After three years as an assistant, he took the head coaching position in 2014 until moving on this past summer to L-S. It was an unexpected opening at L-S when Hal Gill stepped down to take a broadcast position with the Nashville Predators that got Rich considering a move. “I was really happy at Weston High School. We had a successful program, and the players and community were great,” says Rich, 30. “Weston is not a hockey school. It has strong swimming, soccer, and lacrosse programs. We had 20 to 30 kids coming out to tryouts. Part of that is that there is not a strong youth program that sets you up to compete. L-S has always been a strong program beginning with youth, through middle school, and at the high school. In the last few years, they were always in the mix for the State Championships. From a compete factor there was a desire as a coach to grow my coaching acumen both on the ice and off. It is a chance to win. I want to win. And L-S has a great chance to win.” While Rich is still getting to know his players—with the help of the program’s returning assistant coach and the tight L-S hockey community and boosters, he expects them to embrace his three-pronged philosophy of speed, brains, and grit, and continue to build upon the successful hockey tradition. “It starts with tempo. Speed can get you into the playoffs. Brains
can get you into the State Championships,” Rich says. “Work on speed and then hockey IQ during the year. Add grit and a willingness to put the team first, and you can go all the way. We want to compete; we want to win.” He feels that while change at the top can sometimes place a road bump for a program, he believes the continuity of players from last year and the leadership shown by them and the boosters in the presea-son speaks volumes about the players and the community’s commit-ment to winning hockey. There is a lot of involvement and activities from the kids and the community during the off-season, it shows a real commitment,” says Rich. They held a successful Golf Tournament that raised some great funds and done skates with middle-schoolers, that’s how we create that community and that pipeline of players. Rich says, though, that while winning is paramount, there needs to be this fun and community for the team, to not only make their high school career successful but memorable. “We have to ask ‘how do we make this an absolute blast whether on JV A. B. or Varsity?’ How do you make this the best four years of their lives?” Rich says. “The numbers say this is it for most of them and while it can’t be entirely focused on fun, it needs to be while working toward a goal and getting better every day.” While Rich is still getting to know the players, he is looking forward to not only a successful season. “I’ve been impressed by the initiative of the players, and although we lost an all-conference goalie, we have a really strong returning de-fensive core from last year. I would rather start with a strong defense rather than shootout games,” says Rich. “We don’t have a soft sched-ule by any means, but by focusing on the day, not the week, not the month, not the game, we’ll be very well prepared for playoff time. We should be in a good position to get to March and compete in March.”

Some Sudbury Farms PastBonnie Brook Farm was located at 528 Boston Post Road where the Raytheon Company is located today. In the 1920s H.P. Hood and Sons made it into a model farm to educate the public about milk production and products. There were dairy buildings and cow barns, called cow houses, which were clean, light, and airy. H.P. Hood and Sons was or-ganized in 1846.
The Briardale-Frost Farm was a successful dairy farm operated by the Frost Family at 148 Great Road. Along with dairy products Gurnseyl Frost raised sunflowers there in the 1940s, a popular crop during this time period due to the rise in the bird-watching hobby and need for ready bird food to attract birds to the area. Today the original farm-house is surrounded by senior housing condos.

The Davis Turkey Farm was located in South Sudbury at 738 Boston Post Road where the Fairfield Inn stands today. The farm operated in the 1930s and 1940s selling fresh poultry to local residents and to Boston’s Quincy Market. Think of Davis when you next buy your Thanksgiving Turkeys!
Green Hill Farm on King Philip Road was owned by the Goodnow family in South Sudbury. The barn at #4 still stands today. Hay was an important farm product and haying fields was hard work. Haying had to be done on sunny days and the hay kept dry in the barns as rain or moisture would spoil the whole load. Hattie Goodnow’s photographs of her family working the farm are held in the Historical Society’s col-lections.
The Raymond Farm was located at 80 Raymond Road. George J. Raymond (1852-1915) was a wealthy businessman who owned Ray-mond’s Department Stores in Boston. The farm ran from 1879-1973 and the home was built in 1750 by the Hunt Family. Raymond added a water tower, barns, and many outbuildings, including a mausoleum on the 500 acres. Stained-glass windows from a steamboat are said to have been installed in the house.
Home Plate Farm at 558 Dutton Rd. was owned by Babe Ruth from 1922 to 1926. Ruth’s purchase of the gentleman’s farm was perhaps intended to help him lose weight. Whatever the reason, Ruth spent a few years at “Home Plate Farm,” raising chickens, a horse, a cow, and several turkeys and pigs. While Ruth may not have been much of an agriculturalist, the same cannot be said for subsequent owners Herbert and Esther Atkinson. The Atkinson’s established the Sudbury Laboratory which manufactured and sold soil testing kits used by farmers throughout North America to determine the make-up and quality of their soils.

Women and Weight LiftingBusting the Top 5 Myths
You’ll get bulky. It’ll make you manly. You just need to tone. The treadmill is your friend. These are all things women have heard time and again when they ask about lifting weights. Well, they are wrong. In fact, when done correctly, safely, and systematically, lifting weights has been shown to decrease body fat, improve bone strength and improve athletic performance all without adding “manly bulk” to a woman. Well, it’s time to debunk the five biggest myths surround women and iron seriously:
Myth #1: You’ll Get Bulky.The simple answer is no. Of course, if you lift heavy, pump yourself full of testosterone and eat way more calories than you use in a day, you might. But, what is more, likely to come from lifting weights is that you’ll get stronger. Your muscles will get denser (the scale may even start to show a higher number), but you will not look manly. Look at most any woman competing on American Ninja Warrior or doing a Tough Mudder or Spartan Race. They look lean. They look strong. They look healthy and athletic. What they do not look like is a man. In fact, if you eat healthily and lift weights you will get that “toned” look you set out for in less time than just walking on the treadmill because that new stronger, denser muscle burns more
calories at rest making you a fat-burning machine.
Myth #2: Use Light Weights for High Reps.While there is a place for lower resistance in a strength training pro-gram, it shouldn’t be all you do. In fact, it shouldn’t even be what you do most often. When a woman does 15, 20, 30 or more reps with a light weight, it will help muscular endurance and may even begin to take your workout from anaerobic to aerobic, but it will do little to help you achieve a lean, healthy, strong body and mind. Myth #3: Yoga and Meditation are Mind-Body Exercises.While it is technically true that yoga and other practices make up the mind-body category (and If you take a close look, most of them are strength training in nature), lifting weights can help your body make a mind-body connection. This entails focusing on the move-ment, the feel of the muscle and most importantly the form you are using. Beyond that, lifting heavy weights can reduce stress and boost self-esteem as you become stronger and leaner. Myth #4: Weight Training Makes You Less FlexiblePeople typically turn to yoga, Pilates, and stretching programs to increase flexibility, and they work. But too often, women shy away from weightlifting out of fear of getting “tight.” Unfortunately, the only thing getting tight from weightlifting is are your abs. While we still recommend stretching after an activity, (do a dynamic warm-up prior—don’t know what that is? Ask a trainer) weightlifting has been shown to increase flexibility in sedentary women in as short as eight weeks. Don’t believe us? Find the study at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20940647.
Myth #5: You’ll Get Hurt Lifting Heavy WeightsSure, there’s a risk of getting hurt while lifting weights. But, then again, you can trip coming down the stairs or walking on the treadmill at a full incline while reading a book. When done correctly, strength training has been shown to reduce back pain while also lowering risk of diabetes and other diseases. And for women, there is an addition-al benefit of lifting heavy weights as it also improves bone density and wards off osteoporosis as they age. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9927006) There you have it. Five of the most common myths busted. So, why do you want to get stronger?
HealthyLiving A Simple Side Dish SwapThis Thanksgiving
You know you’re going to feel more stuffed than the turkey by the end of Thanks-giving dinner. And if you are like the typical American it is with good reason. According to research from the Calorie Control Council, the average Ameri-can may consume more than 4,500 calories and a hefty 229 grams of fat during a typical holiday gathering from snacking and eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. That’s more than double most people’s recommended daily calorie count. However, by making simple swaps, you can still enjoy all the great flavors of the feast, while still being able to keep your pants buttoned as you settle in to watch the late Football game. Below is a great swap for traditional bread-based stuffing, that’s a tasty side or even a vegetarian-friendly main dish:

VAC Metrowest: Serving Those Who Serve
With Veteran’s Day recently passing and the holidays quickly ap-proaching many American’s thoughts turn to family members that are actively serving or have served our nation. Unfortunately, many men and women that have spent time in the military come home wounded. Some we can easily spot, other wounds are much harder to detect. According to the RAND Center for Military Health Policy Re-search, 20 percent of the vets who served in either Iraq or Afghan-istan suffer from either major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Add to that the number of veterans that served in other conflicts, and millions are suffering from these unseen injuries. Even with this staggering number of those in need, A study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administra-tion revealed that only 50 percent of returning vets who need veter-an mental health treatment would receive these services. Some skip treatment due to the stigma, others from a lack of un-derstanding the need. Some skip due to the lack of access due to budget cuts at the Veteran’s Administration. This overwhelming need for assistance led two acupuncturists to start Veteran’s Acupuncture Care (VAC) Metrowest more than a decade ago to offer free acupuncture treatment to alleviate the symptoms associated with PTSD and other stress disorders.
“The community-style treatments at our clinic are based on the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) ear protocol which has proven to be extremely powerful in alleviating symptoms of acute stress and trauma,” says Janine Agoglia a licensed acupuncturist and co-founder of VAC. “ During treatment, people sit fully clothed in a circle of chairs, and the licensed acupuncturist places five tiny needles on each ear. The recipients are invited to close their eyes and rest for 30 to 45 minutes as the acupuncture does its work.” Veteran’s that take part in the treatment have reported benefits such as a full night’s sleep for the first time in years and fewer bad dreams. They also report improved mental clarity, less anxiety, and a reduction in stress, according to Agoglia. However, the healing doesn’t stop with active and retired military personnel. “Sometimes those that care and love military members suffer as well. There is so much stress and worry before, during and after ser-vice those support-people can feel the effects of PTSD,” says Agoglia. “We offer this to the family of military members as well. We also have extended it to first responders and their families as well.”

Shop the SpectrumThis Holiday Season!
Even before Halloween came and went, malls started hanging holiday decorations. The shift was abrupt, much like this New England weather that has gone from swel-tering to freezing in the blink of an eye. Now we are in the midst of another transi-tion: a time to be thankful for all of our blessings during the month of November, to a month that focuses on the spirit of giving in December. This is also the time when we start thinking about and checking off boxes on our holiday shopping lists. While we are eager to give to those who mean so much to us, we can often become over-whelmed by the materialism that can overshadow the true meaning of this time of the year. It is no coincidence that this is also when many organizations are asking for donations in order to continue their efforts to make the world a better place. Many people strive to accomplish two tasks at once during this time: to find the perfect gift for that special someone and to contribute to a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. What if we could do both? A new online marketplace called Shop The Spectrum gives people the opportunity to do just that, by purchasing products from businesses employing adults with autism. Last month, we told you about National Disability Employment Awareness Month and Doug Flutie’s latest legacy, Flutie Spectrum Enterprises (FSE), a social enter-prise of the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism. FSE offers mailing, shredding, assembly, and other services and employs adults across the autism spectrum, in an effort to diminish the 90% unemployment and underemployment rate for this uniquely capable segment of the population. In early 2017, FSE collaborated with Flutie Foundation grant recipient Tech Kids Unlimited (TKU) to create Shop the Spectrum, an online directory of businesses employing adults with autism who have products available for sale online. TKU, based in Brooklyn, NY, offers a wide array of technology-based classes, from video editing and coding to website and game cre-ation, for kids and teens who learn differently. Teens from TKU split into groups to design the logo, research businesses, write copy, and work on the layout of the web-site. It was truly a collaborative process, and the teens proved to have quite an array of valuable perspectives. Shop the Spectrum is a space where people can find high quality products and soon-to-be treasured gifts all supporting employment for those on the autism spec-trum and with other disabilities. The site currently has five categories of products: Apparel & Jewelry, Art & Prints, Digital Services, Food & Beverages, and Home &
Living. Some featured products include SMILE Biscotti, which are packaged with handwritten thank you notes. Spectrum Designs has custom and promotional items for personal or business use. Extraor-dinary Ventures’ Gifts line has candles with holiday scents such as hot apple cider, sweet potato pie, candy canes, and pine and they also offer fragrant soaps and lip balms. Finally, to include our furry friends, Shop the Spectrum also features a company called Good Reasons which makes human-grade all natural dog treats! So, during this holiday season, when you are considering the per-fect gift for a special someone, Shop the Spectrum and also contrib-ute to these individuals who skills and talents are unique and valua-ble! (www.shopthespectrum.com) Eligible businesses can also submit the vendor form on the Shop the Spectrum homepage to be considered for addition to the website (must employ adults with autism and have products available for sale online that can be shipped nationally). For additional information, please contact Kristie Tranter, Business Development Manager at Flutie Spectrum Enterprises. ([email protected] or 617-721-4424).

The Arts Face Tightening BudgetsDespite the budget override last February, Sudbury schools, like most face tightening budgets and emphasis on STEM and standardized testing. Unfortunately, this combination leaves art, music and other creative programs in the crosshairs of the budget ax. However, the impact of the loss of these classes may be far reaching and long-term. Studies show that music, dance, and other artistic classes can have a myriad of benefits for both the body and mind of students. Here are just some of the benefits of music and movement, ac-cording to Early Childhood Connections: • Musicisalanguage,andchildrenareorientedtowardlearninglanguage. • Musicevokesmovement,andchildrendelight inandrequiremovement for their development and growth. • Musicengagesthebrainwhilestimulatingneuralpathwaysas-sociated with such higher forms of intelligence as abstract thinking, empathy, and mathematics. • Music’smelodicandrhythmicpatternsprovideexerciseforthebrain and help develop memory. Who among us learned the ABC’s without the ABC song? • Music is an aural art and young children are aural learners.Since ears are fully mature before birth, infants begin learning from the sounds of their environment before birth. • Musicisperfectlydesignedfortrainingchildren’slisteningskills.Good listening skills and school achievement go hand in hand. • Developmentally appropriate music activities involve thewhole child-the child’s desire for language, the body’s urge to move, the brain’s attention to patterns, the ear’s lead in initiating commu-
nication, the voice’s response to sounds, as well as the eye-hand coor-dination associated with playing musical instruments. • Musicisacreativeexperiencewhichinvolvesexpressionoffeel-ings. Children often do not have the words to express themselves and need positive ways to release their emotions. • Music transmits culture and is an avenue by which belovedsongs, rhymes, and dances can be passed down from one generation to another. • Musicisasocialactivitywhichinvolvesfamilyandcommunityparticipation. Children love to sing and dance at home, school, and at church. Keeping children involved in the arts—either in school or in out-side programs in stead of or as a supplement—is vital to the proper development of Sudbury’s kids.

Performer HighlightThere isn’t much that 9-year-old Jake Maycock doesn’t do. He’s a hockey defenseman for the Minuteman Flames, plays lacrosse, basketball and football with his neighborhood friends. But, what Jake likes doing best is playing his guitar. Now entering his fourth month at Note-worthy Experiences Music Studio, he has quickly progressed and plans to perform at his elementary school talent show. “Yusuke, my guitar teacher, is a really nice person. He teaches me a lot, I have already learned how to play Back in Black by AC/DC. Yusuke makes learning music and playing my guitar so much fun with his kind and positive words to me. He gave me the courage to perform in front of my whole class this year!”
