Representatives from Sustainable Business Net-work of Massachusetts presented an overview of its services to Dedham’s Sustainability Advisory Committee and explored the possibility of partner-ing with the town.

The town’s Environ-mental Coordinator Vir-ginia LeClair secured $1,600 of the mitiga-tion funds from the con-struction of Legacy Place to form a green business program.

She had already used the funds to create ma-terials such as a logo and checklist when LeClair and the town’s Economic Director Karen O’Connell realized it might be more eff ective to partner with the Cambridge-based nonprofi t than start from scratch.

Members voiced that a green program would attract customers, save money, and make Ded-ham a healthier place to live and work. It can even increase employee reten-tion, according to Manag-ing Director of Sustain-able Business Network Katrina Kazda.

“We looked at oth-er communities across the country and what they were doing, we met with diff erent consult-ing companies, and then we stumbled across this program. It was really what we wanted to create

Nine Riverdale Elemen-tary School students ea-gerly placed three worms on a wet paper towel and

another three worms on a dry paper. The goal? To fi nd out whether earth-worms prefer moist or dry areas.

“Do you see any dif-ference between these

guys and these guys?” Dr. Douglas Crandall asked students on Tuesday, Jan. 29, as he pointed to the two diff erent papers.

It turns out earthworms prefer moist settings.

Luckily for the stu-dents, most of them had guessed right prior to the experiment.

The deer that was res-cued Saturday morning from the icy Charles Riv-er was later euthanized due to hypothermia, the Dedham Fire Department said.

Paul and Martha Podol-ski, of 131 Jenney Lane, called the fi 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," Mar-tha Podolski told the Ded-ham Transcript on Mon-day, Jan. 28.

Deputy Fire Chief James Neilan said fi remen used a rescue sled to retrieve the deer from the water – a process that took about three hours.

"It was probably 17 de-grees out and they were up to the neck in water," Podolski said. "I was really worried when the fi remen were in the water."

After retrieving the deer

from the water, fi refi ght-ers took the animal to the basement of Podolski’s brother’s home, 129 Jen-ney Lane, and placed the deer near a woodstove for about 45 minutes.

"We had a big comfort-er over him and (fi remen) were rubbing his fur," Po-dolski said. "The deer was defi nitely improving, but he wasn’t able to get up on his own."

The deer was taken to the Dedham branch of the Animal Rescue League of

You got it, give it.That’s the simple prem-

ise of Catching Joy, a non-profi t aimed at promoting volunteerism at a young

age.Brighton residents and

mother and son team Joy Olaes Surprenant and Maxwell Surprenant, 9, share a blueberry muffi n one Monday morning at a Dedham coff ee house.

Arriving an hour into the interview, Maxwell has managed to nibble away more than half of the muffi n as Joy shares the mission behind her work of almost 5 years.

“Catching Joy’s premise

is we believe that we are making a great diff erence and brining joy to others,” Joy said. “We believe the joy comes back to the giv-er in fullness. We believe

it is contagious and catchy,which is why we haven’tstopped.”Almost weekly, the en-

tirely volunteer-run non-profit organizes a varietyof family-friendly events.“We do collections, col-

lect toys and art sup-plies,” Maxwell pauses andthinks, “and sing in nurs-ing homes, cheer on mara-thon runners.”When not in school or

participating in sports, hisnights and weekends arespent with his family help-ing others because, “weknow doing good for oth-ers makes us feel happy.”This makes Joy proud.

She believes that if youteach volunteerism at ayoung age it will carry thechild to adulthood.“Start with kids and

then they will have it theirwhole life,” she said. “Startwith families, and it willbecome solidified andstrong within the home.”Week-by-week, Joy,

founder and director ofCatching Joy, activelyworks to bring this mes-sage to the community.“The concept of Catch-

ing Joy is that we link upwith different nonprof-its or causes and find ahands-on project thatyoung kids with their fam-ilies can do,” Joy said. “Itisn’t just families bring-ing their kids and they arerunning around and play-ing … If they are coloringthen the parents are writ-ing the messages. But to-gether they are all doingthings.”At the Blue Bunny

Bookstore in DedhamSquare, Catching Joy re-cently organized a hats,mittens, scarves, andcoats collection for Solu-tions At Work. Residentsjoined the High Streetbusiness SheepSkate andthe Dedham Junior Wom-en’s Club to fill baskets forthe charity. Keeping withthe hands-on project an-gle, kids decorated mittensthat will be attached to thedonation and distributedas a way to further spreadthe joy.The crafts is Maxwell’s

favorite part of CatchingJoy.“I like making the post-

ers,” Maxwell said. Askilled artist, Maxwell willoften take the lead at thevarious events encourag-ing kids to take time incrafting the card, poster,or bookmark.“We donate the cards

with the collection orsometimes the cards arethe main thing,” Maxwellsaid.“We collect books some-times and with the bookswe donate the cards ormake bookmarks. Theywill get a card and thebook and it will makethem really happy.”

IT STARTED AT FENWAY“In September 2013,

we will celebrate ourfifth year,” Joy said. “Welaunched it on Maxwell’sfifth birthday at FenwayPark.”Joy said that in 2008,

she asked party guests todonate to Catching Joy in-stead of giving presents.“(We told them) that

we are starting CatchingJoy as a way to give youngkids and their families theopportunity to feel the joyof giving,” she said.At the first event, par-

ticipants made cardsand posters for the Bos-ton-based charity Birth-day Wishes. From thatevent Catching Joy caughton. They support all ofthe holiday events forthe Ritz-Carlton of Bos-ton. In December, Catch-ing Joy organizes an or-nament-making table atthe “Nutcracker” in Bos-ton. Joy staffs the tableswith volunteers and fam-ilies have the opportuni-ty to make ornaments tohang on Christmas treesin the lobby. Often moreornaments are made thanneeded, so Joy explainedshe gets other companiesto donate trees that weredecorated and donated toshelters.“We work with over

60 nonprofits and havereached over 6,000 kids,”Joy says and then jumpsto the next project. Hermind doesn’t stop. “Wevalue what even one childcan do because that rippleeffect is so great.”In Dedham, Catch-

ing Joy has partneredwith Discover Music andArt, The North Star Chil-dren’s Ramble, DedhamJr. Women’s League, Jack& Eric’s Pirate Lemonadestand, the Dedham Farm-ers Market – and that isjust to name a few.She’s also worked with

Boston College and stu-dents at Lasalle Collegeto teach the basics of run-ning a nonprofit. Twoyears ago a class at Lasalleorganized Catching Joy’s

winter fair.“Lasalle put on an en-

tire fundraiser from be-ginning to end,” she saidand added that theyraised about $7,000.Recently, Microsoft se-

lected Catching Joy tobe a community part-ner. They will be respon-sible for running tablesat different events, butkeeping the message ofvolunteerism.“We want to let other

people know (about help-ing others),” Maxwell ex-citedly said. “So they canmake other people feelhappy. That’s twice thepeople. When they makeother people feel happy,they make themselves feelhappy.”More information on
