1. Update from Doug Lack: “Yesterday I saw my surgeon,(PA) actually, and I was given the go-ahead to do outpatient PT. (I start Friday morning.) Today I was released from VNA care! I drove for the first time yesterday...just a short drive, and it felt o.k. NO long treks for a while. I am using a cane, however bring my crutches with me just in case I need extra support. PT was prescribed for 6-8 weeks twice a week. I will still be doing PT when school is back in session in late August. I am still very tired from the Anemia but hope to keep building my strength.

A favorite among High School students, C&R Hot Dogs is set to shut down on Wednesday.
After almost 2 years of lunch specials, stuffed potatoes and a 50-topping menu, Holliston's C&R Hot Dogs is set to close its doors for good on Wednesday. Carl Damigella, owner of the popular lunch spot, said he will shut down amid personal health concerns, and an inability to stay on his feet throughout the work day. "I have had six back surgeries, and standing up for that length of time is not doing me any good," Damigella said. Featuring $5 lunch specials, C&R is known as a meeting ground for Holliston residents and a place for students to grab a quick lunch. A former selectman and current President of Holliston Pantry Shelf, Damigella said C&R was another way to serve his community. Doug Lack, a Holliston High art teacher in need …

What we at Patch learned about Holliston this week.
The Holliston community is incredibly close. In this week's video feature, we interviewed Joey Pagano, the creator of a fundraiser to benefit Doug Lack, who must undergo kidney transplant surgery in the coming months. Residents believe a casino in Milford could have serious consequences for Holliston. Thursday's forum on casino gambling for the MetroWest area, hosted in Holliston, was packed with local residents ready to speak out and act against a Milford casino. Locals will push themselves to their physical limit to give back to the community. Holliston's VFW will host a two-hour Zumba class next month to raise funds for a school for disabled children.

We recap the top comments from the past week.
On VIDEO: Art Saves Doug Lack Fundraiser Michelle Tate said: Great job, everyone! We still have art to sell, contact us if you are interested - 508-893-0945. On Opinion: Bullard Farm Grounds Are Irreplaceable Thomas Gilbert said: I read comments from people who ask what all the fuss is about or say grow up or change happens. What would you say to people who would want to destroy Paul Revere's house to construct an office tower or eliminate Old North Chruch because we need more parking. The Bullard Farm is Holliston's Paul Revere House and its Old North Church and it is an important part of its history as well as Sherborn, Millis, and Medway. If we agree a solar power plant is acceptable, will it then be acceptable to build a biomass …

We review what Patch learned about Holliston this week.
Panthers hockey does more than win games. At a game with the East Coast Jumbos, a team of special needs athletes, Holliston Hockey gave back to the sport.
