Civil War Re-Enactment at 

Oak Grove, Millis, June 18-19 

Event Open to All, Presented by the 

Millis Historical Commission 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Travel back about a hundred 

and fifty years in time 

on June 18 and 19, when the 

War Between the States will 

be resurrected at Oak Grove 

Farm, at 410 Exchange Street, 

in Millis. The event will feature 

battles, horses, regiments, 

demonstrations and period 

costume, with featured events 

and an opportunity for visitors 

to visit a Civil War-era camp. 

“We’re excited to have the 

Civil War back after 10 years,” 

says Nathan Maltinsky, chair 

of the Millis Historical Commission. 

He expects about 

300-400 participants, re-enactors 

representing various regiments 

from the time. “There 

are some real history buffs, and 

a lot of teachers will bring a 

bunch of students from their 

classes,” he says. “We do it to 

keep history alive.” 

“It’s a great living history 

experience for students,” says

For These Teens, the 

Fight Against Cancer 

Is Personal 

Millis, Medway, Medfield Norfolk 

Relay for Life June 10-11 


They are all just in 8th grade, 

but each one of them has been 

touched personally by cancer in 

their families. Two teams of Millis 

teens will be among 23 teams 

(as of mid-May) who will participate 

in the 3MN Relay for Life 

(Relay for Life of Millis, Medway, 

Medfield, Norfolk) for the 

American Cancer Society, which 

will take place at Medway Middle 

School, 45 Holliston Street 

in Medway on from 6 p.m. on 

Friday, June 10th all night long 

until 6 a.m. on Saturday, June 

11, have been raising money for 

this nationwide American Cancer 

Society event since they were 

little. It’s a personal endeavor. 

“My Mom had cancer – that’s 

kind of how I got started. My 

friend Janet, who passed away, 

she kind of got us into it,” says 

Valerie Black, whose mother, 

Rebecca, is a survivor of breast 

cancer. Back when she started 

participating in the Relay for 

Life, in which a team member 

walks on the track all night long, 

to symbolize that cancer never 

sleeps, Valerie was in Happy 

Hours Preschool at the Millis 

Church of Christ. 

Black and her friend and 

teammate, Lauren Lopez, who 

lost her Mom to cancer, recently 

spent some of their Saturdays in 

April raising money outside Star 

Market/Shaws in Medway, selling 

cookies they baked, for the 

cause. 

“My family has always been 

like really touched by cancer, it 

kind of runs in my family,” says 

Lopez, who is walking the Relay 

for the first time this year. “All 

of my Mom’s sisters got it; my

Mark Slayton, of the Millis Historical 

Commission. The event is 

open to the public from 9 a.m. – 

dusk. Admission is $5 per person, 

with a cap of $20 per family and 

free for children five and under. 

All proceeds support the event 

and historical project around 

town. Dogs are asked to remain 

at home, as they don’t always 

mix well with cannon and gun 

fire – or with skittish horses on 

the field. 

“On Saturday there will be 

a fashion show, demonstrations 

of artillery, cavalry, infantry – 

the battle will be at 2 p.m. and 

probably wind down by 3, and 

everyone heads back to camp 

after that,” says Slayton. In addition 

to a meet and greet, there 

will be a blacksmith onsite, a 

Civil War-era hospital with the 

women’s USSC (U.S. Sanitary 

Commission), and a candlelit 

tours on Saturday night. A more 

complete schedule can be viewed

Slayton. Slayton personally belongs 

to the Camp Lincoln band, 

which plays music from the era. 

They will be camping out and 

playing music. 

“One of the years we had the 

event, we must have had 300 

people standing around, including 

spectators that came by,” says 

Slayton. “It was a jam session. 

The spectators loved it.” 

Visitors will also be treated 

to a spectacular cannon blast at 

dusk on Saturday. 

“These are all authentic Civil 

War era cannons that have been 

restored, owned by reenactment 

groups,” says Slayton, who says 

before they are fired, demonstrators 

will explain their operation. 

“(The cannons) are safety 

checked by Massachusetts law,” 

he adds. “Reenactors belong to

They’re committed to it,” says

Paul Brundidge, of East 

Bridgewater, is one of those reenactors. 

He belongs to both the 

35th Virginia and the 1st Massachusetts 

Calvary regiments. A reenactor 

since 1987, he has been 

to Oak Grove reenactments in 

the past. He says he does it for 

“a love of history and a love of 

horses.” 

“I met a group at a parade, 

and it was a nice blend,” says 

Brundidge. “I had always loved 

history, and always had horses, 

and the 1st Massachusetts was 

doing the Hanson Memorial 

Day Parade. And I ran to them 

like a kid in a candy shop,” he 

says. “I’ve been reenacting pretty 

much ever since.” 

Brundidge says he does this 

about once a month. “We not 

only go all around New England, 

but also Pennsylvania, Maryland, 

Virginia – to do events down 

there as well, because that’s 

where the battles took place.” 

Brundidge says he enjoys coming 

to “beautiful, open spaces” such 

as Oak Grove.

grandma got it, my aunt’s husband 

got it.” Joining a team for 

Relay for Life makes Lauren feel 

“like I’m kind of like helping out 

my family that’s had it. I’m kind 

of making them proud that I’m 

standing up (against) the illness.” 

Ryan Mullen and a few of his 

friends, part of the Holy Walkamole 

team, raised money by 

selling luminaria bags, paper 

bags that are decorated in honor 

of someone lost that are lit during 

a special lap at the Relay. He 

and his brother, Jack, as well as 

their friend, Mia Coutz, have 

also been participating since the 

church preschool. 

“It used to be we’d do it 

through a church team,” says 

Coutz, who has, several times, 

chopped off lengths of her hair 

to make wigs for cancer patients. 

“It used to be a lot about 

the adults, but as I brought my 

friends in, we’ve become more 

involved in fundraising, and it’s 

more a kid thing.” 

“I think it’s really great that 

we can all come together as a 

community and help try and 

prevent this horrible thing,” says 

Jack Mullen, 14. He describes 

the Relay as a fun event, with 

music all night long. 

To her, participating in the 

Relay for Life, says Abby Messias, 

who has spent time for her 

Relay team canning outside 

Roche Bros., “shows the people 

who go through what they do 

that we’re here for them, and we 

care about them.” 

Each Relay For Life includes 

specific features unique to the 

the event. After an opening ceremony, 

every Relay features a 

Survivors Lap. Anyone who has 

battled cancer is invited to take 

part in this lap, and they are 

cheered on by family and friends 

on the sidelines. The 3MN Relay 

will celebrate with its Survivor 

Lap and its Caregiver Lap at 7 

p.m. At Relay, there is always a 

recognition of the support of 

family members touched by their 

loved one’s illness. 

The Luminaria Ceremony 

takes place at 9 p.m., remembering 

loved ones lost to cancer. Luminaria 

bags are lit, and walkers 

quietly honor those whom cancer 

took during this solemn lap. 

The Luminaria Ceremony, 

These teens have fought against cancer since before they could read by 

fundraising for the 3MN Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. 

Each has been personally affected by cancer. This year’s event will take 

place at Medway Middle School on June 10-11. 

says Jack Mullen, “is so beautiful. 

It’s really nice that we get to 

do that.” 

The event continues with fun 

laps and fundraisers the whole 

night through. 

“Every hour, there’s a special 

lap of some kind,” says Rebecca 

Black, who notes that “Miss 

Relay,” in which teenage boys 

have fun in drag, is always popular. 

This year’s Relay theme is 

“All around the World.” 

At 5:30 a.m. the closing ceremony 

takes place, with a look 

back at what participants have 

accomplished and a renewed 

vow to continue the fight. 

Registration for the 3MN 

Relay for Life is still open. Those 

who have survived cancer can 

also register to participate in the 

survivor lap, and they are not 

required to be part of a team.

Municipal Employees Look at Eco-Friendly Measures 

to Reduce Water Pollution 

On May 18, 2016, over 20 

municipal employees and conservation 

commission members 

from 10 towns throughout the 

Charles River Watershed including 

Bellingham, Brookline, 

Dover, Franklin, Medfield, Medway, 

Millis, Needham, Walpole 

and Westwood, attended a training 

focused on reducing phosphorus 

pollution in the Charles 

River and achieving compliance 

with forthcoming stormwater 

permits. The workshop, at Millis 

Public Library, put on by 

Charles River Watershed Association 

(CRWA), will help towns 

reduce nutrient pollution from 

entering the Charles River in 

stormwater runoff. 

In urban and suburban 

communities throughout Massachusetts, 

rainwater picks up 

phosphorus and other pollutants 

as it flows across asphalt 

and impervious surfaces, carrying 

these pollutants into the 

Charles River. High concentrations 

of phosphorus – a nutrient 

present in car exhaust, fertilizer 

and soil – degrades the Charles 

River ecosystem by fueling the 

overgrowth of invasive plants 

and cyanobacteria. In an overgrown 

habitat, fish and other 

aquatic wildlife struggle for the 

oxygen and sunlight they need 

to survive. Cyanobacteria produce 

toxins that are harmful to 

both humans and animals. Studies 

conducted by CRWA and the 

Department of Environmental 

Protection indicate that concentrations 

of phosphorus in the 

Charles River are twice what 

should be there in a healthy 

river. 

The stormwater management 

workshop, held at the 

Millis Public Library, empowers 

participating representatives 

from cities and towns throughout 

the Charles River Watershed. 

Experts presented on a broad 

spectrum of measures to reduce 

phosphorus pollution through 

the thoughtful use of blue-green 

infrastructure, planning, zoning 

and regulatory changes, partnerships, 

innovative funding 

mechanisms and more. Municipal 

employees shared experiences 

in reducing stormwater 

pollution and lessons learned. 

Presenters included Julie Wood 

and Pallavi Mande of CRWA, 

Nigel Pickering of Horsley Witten, 

Brutus Cantoreggi of the 

Town of Franklin, Sam Cleaves 

of the Metropolitan Area Planning 

Council, and John Woodsmall 

of the Town of Holden. 

This training is part of a 

series funded by a grant from 

the Foundation for MetroWest 

designed to assist local communities 

with land and water management 

options that benefit the 

environment, economy, and improve 

community quality of life. 

The U.S. EPA recently issued 

a new Small Municipal 

Separate Storm Sewer Systems 

(MS4) permit regulating the 

stormwater systems of municipalities 

in Massachusetts. Under 

the permit, Charles River watershed 

cities and towns will be required 

to create and implement 

a plan to reduce phosphorous 

pollution to the Charles River. 

CRWA’s stormwater management 

workshops are designed to 

inform town employees about 

the requirements and to discuss 

the implementation of impactful 

and cost-effective solutions.

I didn’t choose my bank. I ended up with them. 

How long has it been since you chose your bank? Was it back when you were in college? Or 

when you got your first job? Likely the name of the bank you chose back then is not the name of 

that same bank now. And you’re still there? 

We understand. 

Surely, you’ve thought about leaving your big bank over the years but you just haven’t gotten 

around to it. After all, you need lots of ATMs, online and mobile bank technology. You’re too 

busy. And switching is too disruptive…too onerous. 

We’re here to help you. 

Whether you’re a small business owner, a family, or an individual, there are many compelling 

reasons to leave your big bank for Needham Bank. 

• They don’t love you – we will. 

• Chances are, we can save you enough money to matter on those annoying big bank 

fees. 

• We reinvest in this town by supporting a myriad of community organizations, just like 

you do. 

• With NB Checking you can use any ATM in the world and whatever you are charged for 

using that bank’s ATM, we will automatically reimburse to your NB Checking account

• Our branch personnel in Needham, Dedham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Westwood, 

Ashland, Millis, and Natick are eager to help you with the paperwork to switch banks.

hours to help with the paperwork. 

Welcome to Needham Bank. 

Please visit us at any of our offices or at NeedhamBank.com. And should you have any 

questions or wish to schedule an appointment, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please 

contact David Scarcella at 781-247-6881 or DScarcella@NeedhamBank.com. More and more 

people are making the switch to Needham Bank every day. How may we help you?

Do You Know about Vaping or Dabs? Bet Your 12-Year-Old Does 

Educate Yourself about Substance Abuse at the MCASE Forum on June 6 

A new Millis task force of 

community members, town 

safety officials and educators, 

called the Millis Community for 

Awareness & Substance Education 

(MCASE), recently held an 

informational night at the Millis 

Middle/High School for parents 

and loved ones of high schoolage 

students aimed at informing 

them about substances to which 

their children might be exposed. 

While the May 11 PREP (Prevention, 

Resources and Education 

Program), presented by Traci 

Wojciechowski, a Prevention 

Specialist” from Caron Student 

Assistance Program saw fewer 

than 20 participants, MCASE 

hopes to draw a bigger audience 

to a repeat of the program at the 

Millis Public Library, 961 Main 

Street, Millis, on the evening of 

June 6. Traci educated the audience 

of teachers and parents 

about current facts around substance 

use among teens in the 

country and provided guidance 

and strategies for being proactive. 

Complimentary 

Workshop on 

Ownership of a 

Second Home 

Caron PREP Program 

Message: Parents have 

the Power 

What parent has not had 

an occasion to worry about a 

child when it comes to use of 

tobacco, alcohol, or drugs? As 

times change, so do the drugs of 

choice, but teenagers continue to 

experiment. Awareness and education 

help reduce the incidence 

of substance abuse and addiction. 

The facts presented from national 

surveys show that teens 

report using substances for relaxation 

and pleasure; for socialization 

and avoidance of emotional 

pain; to forget about problems; 

to satisfy curiosity and to avoid 

alienation; and to cope with failure 

or rebel. The teenage brain is 

wired for risk-taking and immediate 

gratification, and emotions 

are stronger than logical thinking. 

In teens, addictions occur 

faster, longer, and stronger. 

An important fact for both 

parents and educators, is the effect 

of substance use on the brain 

development of teens. The teenage 

brain is especially vulnerable 

to drug use. The Caron program 

points out that 95% of people 

who are dependent started before 

they were 20. The National 

Institute on Drug Abuse notes 

that heavy marijuana use is 

linked to educational and lifetime 

outcomes such as lower grades 

and exam scores. Heavy users 

are also less likely to enroll in college, 

less likely to graduate from 

HS or college, and they are more 

likely to earn a lower income, be 

unemployed and be less satisfied 

Whether you are considering purchasing a second property, are in the process of purchasing, already own a 

second property, or want to learn how to incorporate as part of your estate plan, this complimentary 

workshop will provide you with valuable information on planning, purchasing, protecting, and preserving 

this major asset.

with life. 

Traci cautioned parents to 

remember that caffeine is a 

stimulant drug and can also be 

addicting for teens and impact 

brain development. Particularly 

popular among teens are energy 

drinks, which studies have 

linked to higher abuse of other 

substances. She also discussed a 

recent concern, even among elementary 

aged children, about 

the growing popularity of ecigarettes, 

personal vaporizers, or 

electronic nicotine delivery systems. 

According to the National 

Institute on Drug Abuse, “only 

14.2% of 12th graders view 

ecigarette use as harmful, which 

is less than 5 students in the average 

class.” 

Regardless of other influences 

in a child’s life, parents 

are the primary influence when 

it comes to the choices children 

make. The program states, 

“Consistent message of parental 

Have a Waterful Time at the 

disapproval of substance use are 

strongly linked to lower rates of 

children’s substance use.” Talking 

early and often with children 

about tobacco, alcohol, and drug 

use is important. Providing facts, 

stating disapproval, standing firm 

in sending a no-use message, and 

taking advantage of teachable 

moments are all steps parents can 

take. Parents should get involved 

in their children’s lives, know 

their friends, be accessible, nurture 

their relationship and accentuate 

the positive assets of their 

children. Eating meals together 

was discussed as one of the most 

powerful ways to stay connected. 

Children need to know that parents 

will support them and expect 

them to resist peer pressure 

and engage in positive behavior. 

If you missed this presentation, 

the program will be 

repeated at the Millis Public Library 

on the evening of June 6. 

The Caron Student Assistance 

Program will also be engaging 

middle school students in 

BRAIN DRAIN: Adolescents 

and Addiction: Why the teenage 

brain is vulnerable. 

Students will learn about parts 

of the brain and how it develops, 

how drugs impact brain development, 

as well as the academic 

and athletic impact of substance 

use. For more information, see

Kids Learn Socialsklz:-) in Medway Community Ed Program 


In an age where texting and 

screen time prevail, Medway 

kids are some of the first young 

people to learn the art of social 

grace, face-to-face. Last month, 

Medway Community Education 

partnered with Century Health 

Systems to offer “Socialsklz:-),” 

an after class aimed at teaching 

elementary to middle-schoolaged 

children the value of a 

good handshake, eye contact and 

healthy social interaction. 

Juanita Allen Kingsley has 

been teaching classes for about 13 

years, beginning as a wilderness 

EMT trainer, but branching out 

with Life Skills courses for Century 

Health Systems. She explains 

how the Socialsklz:-) came about. 

“In 12 or 13 years I’ve been 

doing this, I’ve seen a huge shift 

in the comfort young people have 

in face-to-face conversations and 

being in a new environment or 

being comfortable with adults 

they haven’t met before,” says 

Allen Kingsley, who, as a child, 

learned much of these social 

skills having a parent who was a

a new class offered by Medway Community Education. 

diplomat. She looks at the growing 

amount of screen time as 

the culprit keeping young people 

from interacting. “It doesn’t matter 

how good an athlete you are, 

if you can’t hold a conversation 

with parents, with future employers 

and with teachers, you’re not 

giving yourself the best chance 

that you can,” she says. “Practicing 

these skills is just like practicing 

everything else.” 

As a child, says Allen Kingsley, 

each night her family would have 

dinner with guests, and “what we 

got out of that was the confidence 

to be able to interact with anybody 

at any time.” 

Her course, she says, “amplifies 

and reinforces what parents 

have the time to (teach)” their 

children. “We send our children 

to ballet lessons, soccer camp, violin 

lessons, but we leave behind 

the opportunity to practice and 

learn good habits like these social 

skills.” 

Gift 

Stylishly 

“I’ve actually never done anything 

like it before, but it was really 

fun and it taught me a lot 

about different social skills,” says 

Elizabeth Kenney, 10. What impressed 

her most, she says, was 

learning just how hard it is to 

make a good first impression, and 

she thinks she will have lots of opportunity 

to practice good table 

manners. 

“My parents taught me a lot 

of it, but it was a good refresher,” 

says Elizabeth. “and I had never 

learned about the good first impression 

thing.” 

“I asked kids to tell me one 

thing they came away from the 

class with, and two or three of the 

girls said, ‘I know how to look in 

someone’s eyes now and talk and 

put my shoulders back,’” says 

Allen Kingsley, who points out 

that when people are intimidated 

by social interaction, they’re not 

going to give “off the aura of confidence 

and competence – they’re 

going to vanish as soon as they 

walk in.” 

The Socialsklz:-) class then, 

makes conversation more familiar 

and less formidable. In the 

fall, it will likely be offered to all 

20 communities with which Century 

Health Systems works. 

“In a couple of hours, there’s a 

layer of awkwardness that’s been 

shed,” says Allen Kingsley, “and 

isn’t that a nice time in your life 

you can feel more confident.” 

Socialsklz:-) is just one of the 

many enrichment programs 


offers local residents, aged birth 

and up. To see their seasonal brochure,

Medway & Franklin American Legion Posts Host 

Scholarship Run June 25th 


The Third Annual American 

Legion Scholarship Fund 

5 Mile and 5K Road Race will 

take place on Saturday, June 25, 

starting at 8 a.m., with the start 

and finish in the Medway High 

School parking lot behind 88 

Summer Street in Medway. Registration 

is $25 online, $15 for 

students, or an additional $5 on 

the day of the race. Register at 

active.com or through the link 

at MApost75.com. All entrants 

will automatically be entered in 

raffles, and refreshments will be 

served to all runners. To be a 

sponsor or make a donation contact 

Doug Wahl, commander of 

the Medway Post at (508) 246- 

6528. 

The American Legion Posts 

75 and 367 Scholarship Run 

will benefit local students with a 

$500 scholarship each to one student 

from Medway High School, 

one from Franklin High School 

and another from Tri-County 

Regional Technical Vocational 

High School. 

The Legion race is in its third 

year running, says Douglas Wahl, 

of Medway’s Post 367. 

“I had an idea of trying it,” 

says Wahl. “People think of the 

American Legion and they think 

of a bunch of old guys and an 

old watering hole. Why not try 

something like this that would 

bring families in?” Wahl says that 

the idea caught on, with Kim 

Leone, Adjutant of Franklin’s 

Post 75 hopping on board to put 

the event together. 

Wahl says that the first year 

went pretty well, and the second 

year, turnout was good despite a 

conflict with a large race taking 

place in Hopkinton. 

“We’re trying to get the word 

out to everyone, so we can make 

it a success again,” says Wahl, 

who says his post’s efforts currently 

focus on the scholarship 

fund, helping local Boy Scouts 

and helping Christ Church, that 

hosts the Legion Post’s meetings. 

“Rep. Jeff Roy will be racing 

with us. We’re pretty positive. 

We’ve had a lot of help through 

local businesses.” 

“We have about 13 or 14 

different sponsors from local 

businesses in the Franklin and 

Medway area, and those are just 

the financial sponsors. We have 

another 14 or so who donate for 

the raffle,” says Leone. “Quite a 

few companies that help us each 

year. They’re very generous, and 

Come and run for a cause! Franklin and Medway American Legion

County. Photo courtesy of Doug Wahl. 

we’re very thankful to them. It’s 

good to see people take an interest 

each year.” 

Currently, the Franklin American 

Legion Post 75 has about 60 

or so members, says Leone, who 

says both her post often works together 

with Medway on different 

initiatives. Post 75 recently participated 

in the Franklin Memorial 

Day Parade. Some of their 

initiatives, says Leone, include 

visiting the Brockton VA Hospital 

to do outreach with veterans 

about twice a year. In addition, 

some Legionnaires visit nursing

homes weekly to do outreach 

with veterans, and the Post is active 

in providing rides to hospital 

appointments for veterans who 

need them. 

Leone explains that looking 

toward family events is one way 

the American Legion is courting 

younger veterans who might 

want to help their community. 

“I think it’s hard, for people 

who work,” she says. “But we 

don’t ask for people to do much, 

just come to a meeting, stop by 

and visit. We try not to pressure 

anybody.”

Right now, Leone says, Post 

75 is “a group of people very 

committed to seeing the post 

grow, and I think that’s apparent. 

They take it to heart. It’s a good 

group of guys,” says Leone, who 

is one of just two women in the 

Post.

Post 367, of Medway, doesn’t 

meet a whole lot at Christ

members. If you’re a veteran interested

Medway Elementary PTO Honors Local 

Community Partner 

Inaugural Community Partner 

Award Recognizes T.C. 

Scoops Owner Chemini 

The Medway Elementary 

Parent Teacher Organization 

(MEPTO) recently recognized 

the contributions of a local business 

owner with its first-ever 

Community Partner Award–– 

an award to acknowledge those 

in the Medway community who 

go above and beyond to support 

the town’s elementary schools 

and students. 

Tina Chemini, owner of the 

T.C. Scoops ice cream shop and 

café in Medway, was honored for 

her generosity and dedication to 

Medway’s elementary children 

and families. She was presented 

with her award at MEPTO’s 

annual Basket Raffle and Ice 

Cream Social fundraiser on May 

6, which raised nearly $8,000 

for the town’s two elementary 

schools. 

MEPTO co-president Meredith 

Luzietti said it wasn’t surprising 

that Chemini was at the 

event as a volunteer, scooping ice 

cream––much of which she donated––to 

the hundreds of Medway 

elementary families who 

attend the annual fundraiser. 

“Tina has done so much for 

the children and families of 

Medway, including MEPTO. 

From opening the doors of her 

business to host local organizations 

like ours to donating items 

for fundraisers to sponsoring 

local youth sports teams, she 

truly defines what it means to be 

a community partner,” Luzietti 

said. “This award is our way of 

saying thank you for her kindness 

and community spirit.” 

“We’re humbled by the generosity 

of Tina and the many 

other businesses and organizations 

in our town and beyond 

who routinely support our elementary 

schools, whether it’s an 

event sponsorship or an in-kind 

donation,” added MEPTO copresident 

Lynn Roberts. “It’s this 

unwavering commitment to our 

youngest students that makes an 

award like this possible.” 

All funds raised through 

MEPTO go directly to Medway’s 

two elementary schools––Burke- 

Memorial and McGovern––supporting 

enrichment programs, 

school supplies, cultural arts programming, 

teacher appreciation 

events, and other materials and 

activities that enhance elementary 

education. In the last school 

year, the organization gave back 

more than $20,000 to the schools 

in addition to $15,000 to supplement 

classroom libraries and 

$35,000 to significantly expand 

the Medway Community Farm 

enrichment program. For more

Stop Hunger Now is an international 

hunger relief agency 

that has been fulfilling its commitment 

to end hunger for almost 

20 years. Since 1998, the 

organization has coordinated 

the distribution of more than 

258 million meal packages in 73 

countries, each feeding up to 6 

people, and other lifesaving aid 

to children and families in countries 

all over the world. 

“Across the globe, 1 in 9 individuals 

go to bed hungry every 

night. In many areas of the world 

it can be whole communities 

going to bed hungry every night. 

It is our hope that by partnering 

with Stop Hunger Now, the 

Lions of District 33K can put an 

end to hunger in our life time,” 

said Millis Lions Club President, 

Debbie Hayes. 

According to District 33K 

Lions 2nd Vice District Governor, 

Margaret Menard (Hyde 

Park Lions Club), “the Lions in 

our district have adopted Stop 

Hunger Now as a district-wide 

service project for the last 3 years. 

In June of 2017, the 1.4 million 

Lions who make up Lions Clubs 

International, will celebrate 100 

years of humanitarian service. 

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were 

able to end hunger around the 

world during our year-long celebration?” 

According to stophungernow. 

org, the organization’s goal is “to 

end hunger in our lifetime by 

providing food and life-saving aid 

to the world’s most vulnerable 

and by creating a global commitment 

to mobilize the necessary 

resources.” Since 2005, Stop 

Hunger Now has partnered with 

community groups of as few as 

30 to 40 volunteers, to package 

10,000 meals in two-hour sessions. 

The assembly line process 

combines dehydrated rice and 

soy into 25-cent meals fortified 

with 21 essential vitamins and 

nutrients. 

Stop Hunger Now also helps 

with disaster relief and, since 

1998, has transported donated 

products like medicine, soap, vitamins, 

eyeglasses and birthing 

kits.

Medway Man Rides to End Alzheimer’s 

Frank Ravinal, of Medway, 

will bike 62 miles in the 2016 Ride 

to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, 

June 11. Beginning and ending at 

Seacoast Science Center in Rye, 

the Ride provides a 2-mile, 30- 

mile, 62-mile and 100-mile route 

along southern New Hampshire 

and northeastern Massachusetts. 

“After seeing the effects of this 

disease first hand I have a strong 

desire to help find a cure and preventative 

treatment,” said Ravinal 

who joined the Ride to honor the 

memory of his father. 

Started by the Noonan family, 

the event has raised almost 

$4,000,000 for Alzheimer’s disease 

research. Formerly called 

Memory Ride, the Ride to End 

Alzheimer’s grew from a small, 

family-inspired event to a cycling 

challenge attracting riders 

throughout New England and 

beyond. 

“The Alzheimer’s Association 

is committed to accelerating 

the progress of treatment, 

prevention and ultimately a cure 

for Alzheimer’s disease,” said 

Jim Wessler, president and CEO 

of the Alzheimer’s Association, 

Massachusetts/New Hampshire 

Chapter. “The Ride to End Alzheimer’s 

is crucial in helping us 

fund Alzheimer’s and dementia 

researchers. It also provides critical 

support and education to people 

living with Alzheimer’s and 

their families throughout Massachusetts 

and New Hampshire.”

Lasers and the Eye 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Lasers can be very useful in 

treating many eye problems. 

From helping patients eliminate 

the need for glasses to cosmetic 

procedures of the eyelids, lasers 

have been very valuable in performing 

bladeless eye surgery

while producing precise and safe 

outcomes. 

The world of eye surgery was 

revolutionized when in 1946, a 

German Ophthalmologist used 

the first laser to treat the retina. 

Laser is light amplified by stimulated 

emission of radiation. This 

produces photons acting in synchrony, 

with high power and

precision. Health Risks from the 

Use of Laser Pointers 

Lasers can be very helpful as 

a bladeless surgical device, but a 

note of caution: Laser pointers 

in hand-held, pen-like devices 

that project a beam of laser light 

are rapidly replacing the traditional 

wooden pointers used by 

lecturers during presentations. 

However, these pointers can be 

misused, for example, by students 

in classrooms or by children at

home, and this has generated 

safety concerns. There have been 

reports of temporary blindness, 

disorientation and headaches by 

bus drivers, airline pilots, police 

and teachers. Manufacturers are 

now using similar low powered 

laser devices in toys. Never look 

at a laser pointer and never point 

it at someone. Serious eye injury 

(sometimes permanent) can result. 

Laser Use in Diabetes 

In some cases of diabetic eye 

disease, small blebs can form on 

the blood vessels of the retina. 

These can later cause bleeding 

and blurry vision. An Argon 

Laser can be helpful in treating 

these blebs. The same laser can 

treat the entire retina in a scatter 

fashion when more proliferation 

of abnormal blood vessels is 

noted. 

Laser Use in Glaucoma 

The laser can be used in a focused 

beam of light to treat the 

drainage angle of the eye. This 

surgery makes it easier for fluid 

to flow out of the front part of 

the eye, decreasing pressure in the 

eye. Two types of laser eye surgery 

exist to open up the drainage 

angle of the eye: Argon laser 

trabeculoplasty and selective laser 

trabeculoplasty. 

Laser Use in After 

Cataract Surgery 

The lens capsule is the thin 

bag that holds the intraocular lens 

implant in position after cataract 

surgery. This capsule becomes 

clouded in about 25% of cataract 

surgery patients. This causes 

blurry vision and is also known as 

secondary cataract. A YAG laser 

can create a small opening in the 

center of the capsule, allowing 

light to enter the eye through a 

central clear area. The procedure 

is painless, requires no anesthesia, 

and has very little risk. 

Laser Use in Laser Vision 

Correction 

An excimer laser can be used 

to correct a variety of refractive 

errors of the eye, from nearsightedness 

to farsightedness and 

astigmatism. This type of laser is 

extremely precise. It creates tar-

geted removal of tissue to reshape 

the cornea, which reorients the 

light in the correct place inside 

the eye. 

Laser Use in Cosmetic Eye 

Lid Surgery 

Eye lid surgery, also known 

as blepharoplasty, is designed to 

rejuvenate baggy or droopy eyelids 

and to restore youthful eyes. 

The laser provides excellent precision 

for this procedure. Since 

the laser seals small blood vessels, 

there is very little bleeding during 

surgery. As a result, bruising and 

swelling are kept to a minimum 

and recovery is fast. 

Laser Use in Macular 

Degeneration 

In selected cases of wet macular 

degeneration, a photodynamic 

procedure can be helpful: 

A laser in combination of a lightsensitive 

medicine target the abnormal 

bleeding blood vessels to 

block them. 

Laser Use in Cataract Surgery 

The laser has revolutionized 

cataract surgery, allowing for a 

completely blade-free procedure. 

In addition to producing precise 

cuts needed for surgery, the laser 

used in bladeless cataract surgery 

breaks up and softens the cloudy 

cataract so there is less ultrasound 

needed to remove the cataract. 

Less ultrasound delivered inside 

the eye translates into less energy 

used in the eye and clearer corneas, 

which in turn help producing 

better vision on the first day 

after the surgery. The same laser 

is able to treat astigmatism during 

the cataract procedure, producing 

a better chance for being 

glasses-free after the surgery. 

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 

we use state-of-the-art laser 

technology to treat a variety of 

eye problems. Dr. Kaldawy is 

the first to offer bladeless laser 

cataract surgery in the area and 

among the first in New England. 

The top 5 eye hospitals in the 

country offer bladeless femtosecond 

laser cataract surgery....So 

do we. We are proud to bring this 

technology locally. Laser eye surgery 

is now available when you 

need it and closer to home.

Cruising To a Successful 

Weight Loss 

New England Fat Loss Client Clocks Many Miles to Achieve His Goal 

East Wareham resident Jeff 

Monast admits he was initially 

hesitant to commit to the onehour 

drive to join New England 

Weight Loss (NEFL). Once he 

met Dr. John and the NEFL staff 

and learned about the program, 

however, the commute was a 

minimal factor to achieve his 

weight loss goals. 

“When I first heard it was so 

far away, I thought, ‘That really 

stinks,’ but after my experience, it 

is well worth the drive,” Monast 

said. 

According to forty-two yearold 

Monast, the stimulus to walk 

through that door on April 15 

far outweighed inconvenience. 

He was experiencing lack of energy 

and was intrigued with their 

20-to-40-pounds-lost-in-40-days 

guarantee. 

“I don’t know what clicked in 

my head, but I honestly couldn’t 

recommend it enough,” Monast 

said. “I’ve been fighting my 

weight since I’ve been 10 years 

old, and I honestly did not think 

it would be this easy to lose the 

weight. 

While being interviewed on 

day 23 of his first stage, Monast 

had dropped 34.9 pounds, already 

within reach of that first 

significant goal. The food combinations, 

daily weight reports 

and office visits guided the way, 

but Monast also found Dr. John’s 

assistance invaluable. 

“I knew I would have no time 

to prepare meals during one 

weekend and we went back and 

forth with ideas,” Monast said. 

He is very accessible.” 

Monast is thrilled with his 

success of the Phase 1 portion of 

the program, but is motivated to 

enter the next stage. Through an 

extensive diagnostic process, the 

NEFL team will identify specific 

foods to work with his individual 

body chemistry and trigger additional 

weight loss.

“Once I get through the 40 

days, they give me a list of my 

personal weight-burning foods 

that are good for my body make 

up,” Monast said. “I’m pretty excited 

to see what they are.” 

From the beginning, nothing 

has come in the way of Monast 

reaching his weight loss goals. 

Not miles, time or commitment. 

His true drive, however, comes 

from his family. 

“This is a lifestyle change not 

a diet, and my number one reason 

is because I have a beautiful 

wife and two beautiful children 

that I want to be around a long 

time for,” Monast said.

Breast Cancer 

Coalition 

Annual Statewide Against the 

Tide Fundraising Events 

The Massachusetts Breast 

Cancer Coalition (MBCC) will 

be holding its annual, statewide 

Against the Tide swim, kayak, 

walk, and/or run fundraising 

events again in 2016. Proceeds 

benefit MBCC, which is the 

state’s leading breast cancer organization 

that seeks to understand 

the causes of breast cancer 

in order to find ways to prevent 

the disease. 

“We are very fortunate to 

have such tremendous support 

from citizens of Massachusetts 

demanding greater protection of 

their children’s future health in 

our effort to stop breast cancer 

before it starts,” says MBCC’s Executive 

Director Cheryl Osimo. 

“MBCC often is overshadowed 

by larger, national breast cancer 

organizations and messages of 

early detection, treatment, and 

finding a cure. We depend on our 

generous media and supporters 

to continue our unique goal of 

breast cancer prevention.” 

The Statewide Metro-Boston 

Against the Tide will be held for 

the 24th year at DCR’s Hopkinton 

State Park (30 miles from 

Boston, 20 miles from Worcester) 

on Saturday, June 18, 2016. The 

statewide Cape Cod Against the 

Tide will be held for the 17th 

year at DCR’s Nickerson State 

Park (Brewster, MA) on Saturday, 

August 20, 2016. 

These family-friendly and inspirational 

events bring people 

from all demographics together 

with one goal in mind: breast 

cancer prevention. Both events 

consist of several components: 

competitive and recreational 

swims, recreational kayak, recreational 

walk, and USA Track 

& Field certified 5K/10K competitive 

and recreational runs. 

Participants of all ages and 

abilities can choose 1, 2, or 3 

of these exciting activities. The 

event also offers an Aquathon 

“Splash and Dash” component, 

where participants “splash” in 

the competitive 1-mile swim and 

immediately “dash” in the competitive 

5K or 10K run (chosen 

by the participant). 

MBCC is inviting people 

throughout Massachusetts to 

register for one or both of the 

events at www.mbcc.org/swim 

or by calling 1-800-649-MBCC 

(6222). Those who cannot attend 

are invited to make a pledge to a 

registered participant or existing 

team. Participants may register 

as an individual or as part of a 

team. Registration is $40 for each 

event up to a maximum of 3 

events and $80 for the Aquathon. 

We encourage all participants to 

fundraise beyond the registration 

minimum, as all proceeds support 

the Massachusetts Breast 

Cancer Coalition. Prizes will be 

awarded to the podium finishers 

and top fundraisers.

Millis Baseball’s Max Moran at Home Behind Home Plate 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Having found himself surrounded 

by baseball, it was no 

wonder that Millis native Max 

Moran gravitated toward the 

sport when he was looking for 

something to do. Now a senior 

in his final year at Millis High 

School, Moran has perfected his 

game looking to bring his game 

to the college level. 

“Since I can remember I was 

always around baseball. My 

grandfather was a Red Sox season 

ticket holder, my Dad played 

in an adult league and my older 

brother Harry (19 months older) 

played baseball as well,” Moran 

said. “Right from the get go, I 

was playing backyard baseball. 

Next year, I’m hoping to play 

at Norwich University in Vermont.” 

As a youngster in the little 

league system, Moran spent his 

time trying out numerous positions, 

but when he suited up behind 

the plate, he felt at home. 

Around the fifth grade he began 

to really focus on his catching 

and joined Nokona, an AAU 

baseball team in which he played 

for up until high school. Obviously 

the training through the 

year has paid off. 

Millis Baseball Senior Captain Max Moran has invested time in 

improving his physical play, and the effort has paid off. 

“I got my first call up to the 

varsity team in the State Tournament 

when I was in eighth 

grade to catch bullpen,” he said. 

“Since stepping on the diamond 

my freshman year, I have started 

every game behind the plate. I 

worked hard to get that opportunity.” 

As a freshman, Moran was 

5’4” 136 pounds playing against 

what he refers to as 18-year old 

monsters. Now, four years later, 

he has not only grown to 6 feet 

tall, but he also finds himself at 

195 pounds of muscle. 

“I had always battled through 

the adversity that I was too small 

and slow, so that’s when I started 

my work ethic to improve upon 

those negative attributes,” the 

senior catcher said. “In order 

to become better I had to sacrifice 

hanging out with my friends 

during the summer, but it has all 

paid off.” 

Moran prides himself as a defensive 

catcher that doesn’t allow 

anything to get by him. Millis 

Coach Mike Carter firmly believes 

that defense is the senior’s 

best quality. 

“My defensive game carries 

me, it also separates me from the 

other catchers in the league,” 

Moran said. “I’m always working 

back there. Having a gun for an 

arm makes no difference if you 

don’t have the ability to block.” 

Coach Carter also sees his 

pitch calling to be an asset. 

“Max is definitely a great defensive 

catcher, but his pitch calling 

is sound,” the Millis skipper 

said. “He’s smart and makes sure 

that the pitchers know where 

their mark is.” 

Although a sound catcher 

defensively behind the plate as 

a first year varsity player Moran 

struggled at the plate. The then 

freshman was routinely finding 

himself batting in the bottom 

part of the lineup during 

the early years, but now he has 

moved his way up the lineup and 

finds himself batting in the third 

spot. 

“Back then I was hitting seventh, 

eighth or ninth batting in 

around .250,” he said. “To improve 

my hitting, we put a batting 

cage in the basement, and 

I began to do sprints and lift 

weights. Now I’m seeing the ball 

really well at the plate and have 

improved my hitting to around 

.350.” 

One of two Mohawk captains 

Moran takes this job as serious as 

his catching. 

“He has great leadership abilities 

on and off the field,” Carter 

said. “Having a lot of kids who 

have never played varsity baseball 

before we started out slow 

and flat this year, but Max got on 

the guys to motivate them and 

get us to where we are today.” 

As a senior captain, Moran is 

looking to motivate his team to 

playing well; behind the plate he 

wants to play error-free baseball, 

while continuing to improve his 

hitting at the plate. As for the 

team, he is hoping that the Mohawks 

can get back to the Division 

4 State Tournament and 

improve upon their Semi-Final 

loss from his freshman campaign. 

“Hopefully, we can change 

things around this year,” the senior 

said. “It’s not all about the 

wins during the regular season, 

but what you do during the tournament. 

Playing in the Tri-Valley 

League we’re facing quality competition 

every day.” 

Moran is right, Millis plays a 

tough regular season schedule, 

one that should favor them once 

they advance into the tournament 

– just ask some of the other 

championship teams at Millis.


Baker Takes Reins As Medway’s New Grid Coach 

By Ken Hamwey 

Chris Baker’s 16 years as an 

assistant football coach at three 

different schools proved to be 

valuable experience and no doubt 

a big plus when Medway High 

officials settled on the 48-year-old 

Franklin police detective as their 

new varsity coach. 

Baker, who worked as an assistant 

at Franklin, Tri County 

and Bellingham, replaces Dave 

McSweeney, who resigned after 

leading the Mustangs for the last 

eight years. 

Baker first worked in Franklin 

at the freshman and junior-varsity 

levels, then moved over to Tri 

County as defensive coordinator 

and later as its offensive coordinator. 

When head coach Dan 

MacLean left Tri County for Bellingham, 

Baker became his offensive 

coordinator before returning 

to Franklin and Tri County. 

“I’m excited about the opportunity 

to coach at Medway,’’ 

Baker said. “It seems like a fantastic 

fit. When I was an assistant at 

Bellingham, Medway was a team 

I never wanted to play. They always 

competed hard, were disciplined, 

tough, and hard-nosed. 

And, when they beat us, they did 

it with humility. That’s a credit to 

coach McSweeney.’’ 

Baker’s goals as he takes control 

of the Mustangs are general 

rather than specific and that’s 

probably a smart approach since 

Medway is the only Tri Valley 

League team that has yet to appear 

in a playoff or Super Bowl. 

He’s all about work ethic and passion. 

“Our first season will not be 

a transition year,’’ Baker emphasized. 

“We’ll hit the ground running. 

We owe it to the seniors to 

get the most wins possible. We’ll 

motivate the players to work 

hard and if we do that successfully, 

playoffs and Super Bowls 

will happen. The coaching staff 

has to do its part and the players 

have to commit to a team-first attitude.’’ 

Baker, a Franklin resident who 

is married and has two children, 

is acutely aware of the importance 

of being a head coach and 

the responsibilities that go with 

the position. 

“I’m eager to get started and 

also a little nervous, because 

being a head coach is a big deal,’’ 

Baker noted. “I don’t want to let 

the players down or the community. 

It’s a major commitment 

that takes laser focus and lots of 

time. Being involved with the 

youth program is an aspect that’s 

very important.’’ 

Baker is a native of Canton 

who played football (fullback/ 

linebacker) and baseball at Catholic 

Memorial. At Curry College, 

where he earned a degree in political 

science, he played football, 

baseball and was a captain in lacrosse. 

He eventually got his masters 

degree in criminal justice at 

Western New England College. 

During the hiring process, 

Baker was interviewed twice and 

faced questioning from two different 

committees. He was selected 

from a pool of eight candidates. 

“Chris has lots of experience 

and he emerged from interviews 

as our leading choice,’’ said Rob 

Pearl, the Medway athletic director. 

“He cares about football and 

he wants to help us succeed.’’ 

Baker’s passion for football 

was evident when he was in his 

mid-20s, working as a police officer 

in Sandwich. Apprehending 

youths on weekends for a variety 

of offenses made him wonder 

why there were no football programs 

to keep them occupied. 

“I got a Pop Warner program 

started, and we lobbied 

for fields,’’ Baker recalled. “We 

raised money to supply the high 

school with funds to get football 

off the ground. Sandwich High 

eventually started football.’’ 

Two of Baker’s fondest memories 

as a grid assistant occurred at 

Tri County and Bellingham. 

“We beat Medfield when I 

was offensive coordinator at Bellingham,’’ 

Baker said. “The game 

was played over two days because 

of poor weather. That was a big 

win for us. When Tri County was 

at Gillette Stadium for the Super 

Bowl against Manchester-Essex 

Regional, we were losing by two 

touchdowns in the final quarter. 

I told Kellen Knee to go in. He 

was a scout-team player who 

rarely got a chance to compete. 

He later sent me a note telling me 

how much he cherished that opportunity.’’ 

After his hiring became official, 

Baker addressed his new squad. 

“There were about 50 boys and 

we talked about working in the 

weight room, going to camps and 

committing to strength and conditioning 

regimens,’’ Baker said. 

“The turnout was good and I got 

good vibes. The kids are ready to 

go to work.’’ 

Baker’s athletic philosophy 

is to see his players reach their 

potential, enjoy their sport and 

compete to win. “Those elements 

are part one in high school,’’ he 

emphasized. “Part two is to be so 

passionate about football that it 

becomes important to pursue it in 

college. I know there’s a Division 

3 school out there for everyone.’’ 

45 Milford Street, Suite 3 

Baker has lots of attributes to 

be a success at Medway. He’s determined, 

passionate, patient and 

objective. 

Chris Baker also believes football 

is a laboratory for learning 

life lessons. “Kids set goals, work 

as a team, build friendships and 

overcome adversity when they 

play sports,’’ he emphasized. “I 

like shaping football players and 

citizens. I have high expectations 

and I want discipline, but there’s 

a proper balance. Winning will 

take care of itself if the coaches 

and players all give 110 percent.’’

this for awhile, about wanting to 

renovate the dugout,” says Dave 

Schofield, Vice President of the 

group that heads up the softball 

league. “It was really two things 

– visually, it was antiquated and 

buckling, but the second biggest 

thing, equally important, is the 

safety aspect.” Schofield explains 

that the dugout is now protected 

with a roof to shield from elements 

and balls, and it has been 

outfitted with a backstop area to 

prohibit access from the public 

where kids are warming up 

“It’s a nightmare as a coach 

when you see little kids running 

around and someone’s on 

the deck circle,” says Schofield. 

“You’re just praying no one gets 

hit.” 

The idea was to bring the 

dugout up to modern standards, 

he says. 

“The project has been great 

from a community standpoint. 

The public has really rallied together,” 

says Schofield. Schofield 

credits parent volunteers, local 

contractor Ken Whelan, former 

Millis Selectman Chris Smith, 

Millis Town Director Charles 

Aspinwall, and School Committee 

Chair Marc Conroy. Whelan, 

he says, came up with the plans

strong community effort. Photo courtesy of Millis Gifts Softball. 

and priced out the project, and 

once the group knew what the 

scope was, with a price tag 

($14,000), they went through various 

chains of command to get 

the project approved, including 

a school committee approval on 

April 5, followed by a Board of 

Selectmen approval on April 11. 

“There was a lot of prep work 

behind the scenes,” says Schofield, 

“but the actual work has 

gone quickly. We really essentially 

did it during April school vacation.” 

Site preparation including 

dismantling the old dugout, 

preparing the ground and repurposing 

fencing. Local contractors 

in addition to Whelan donated 

their time preparing the area. 

Softball parents came together to 

pour the foundation, and then to 

assemble benches. 

“It’s like an old fashioned 

barn raising, that’s what this project 

has been like,” says Schofield. 

Millis Girls Softball League 

has grown by 23% this year, says 

Schofield. “The league is doing 

terrific. More girls are doing clinics. 

It’s a community now, where 

people are really participating. 

It’s fun to watch.” 

The league is led by Bridget 

Murray, President, Schofield 

(VP), Kristy Lagos (Registrar), 

James Lagos (Secretary), Kim 

Donovan (Treasurer) and Erin 

LeBlanc (Board Member, Fundraising). 

The group’s philosophy, 

says Schofield, is “only about 

empowerment, challenging the 

individual. If they feel like they’re 

growing as an individual, wins 

and losses don’t matter.”

MSTCA Division 4 Relays Sees Record 

Participation from Millis 

By Christopher Tremblay 

In the past, the Millis girl’s 

track and field team has sent 

only a handful of teams to the 

MSTCA Division 4 Relays. This 

time around, under the guidance 

of Head Coach Laura Connor 

and Assistant Coach Liz Schildwachter, 

the Mohawks sent an 

impressive 11 teams. 

“In the past we’ve been able 

to send three or four teams to the 

meet,” Connor said. “I believe 

the fact that our program is getting 

bigger allowed us to send 

more qualified athletes.” 

Relay teams that finished in 

the top 6 received medals and the 

respective points earned where 

awarded to the team’s overall 

score. Millis tallied 38 total points 

and finished the relays with a 

fourth place finish out 40 competing 

Division 4 schools; Millis’ 

best placement in the history of 

the track program. 

Not only was Millis well represented, 

but the Mohawks had six 

relay teams finish in the top five, 

including two first place finishes. 

The Distance Medley Relay team

of Lucy Clayton, who began race 

running the 1200, Parousia Cruz 

(400), Hannah MacDonald (800) 

and Jess O’Reilly (mile) was one 

of the first place finishers. The 

other winning relay team was 

that of Theresa Cerullo, Jacquie 

Mullally and Catherine Lane 

throwing the javelin. Cerullo had 

a toss of 109’ which qualified her 

to take part in the National Tournament 

later in June of this year. 

“I couldn’t tell you the last 

time that someone from Millis 

qualified to participate in the 

nationals,” the Mohawk Coach 

said. “It was very exciting, especially 

since she came so close last 

year. This year she got the verification.” 

Other top five finishes for Millis 

belonged to the Discus Relay 

team of Cerullo, Mullally and 

Lane which took fifth place; the 

.D. MURPHY 

JCONSTRUCTION 

Since 1976 

Sprint Medley Relay of O’Reilly, 

Katie Malewicz, Morgan Kane 

and Cruz, who also grabbed a 

fifth place finish. The 4 x 200 

team took third place with the 

team of Malewicz, Sara Schildwachter, 

Ciara Moynihan and 

Kane; while the 4 x 400 team 

of Malewicz, Julia Krauss, Cruz 

and Moynihan finished second. 

“The girls were not placed in 

the fastest heat, but were still able 

to take second place anyways 

which made for an incredible 

race,” Connor said. “The girls 

broke the school record with a 

time of 4:15.29. Norton, which 

was in the fastest heat and took 

first place overall had a time of 

4:15.26, just .03 faster than us.” 

On May 18, Millis placed 

fourth at the TVLs league competition 

at Westwood High 

School.

Own a Piece of Paradise 

PREMIER NEW CONSTRUCTION! 

Ever dream of owning a 

home in Florida? What if you 

could own a home near Disney 

and see return on your real estate 

by using as a rental, with no 

extra work on your part? 

“We are only a couple of 

miles from Disney World,” says 

Matt Montalvo, who moved to 

the Florida area from Central 

Massachusetts 10 years ago. 

“When we sell a home, we can 

put owners into our vacation 

rental program. Buyers have 

an option where they can use it 

strictly as a second home or rent 

it out as a vacation home. We 

oversee, maintain, manage and 

market the property.” 

Homes range in size from 

2,000 to 20,000 square feet, 

condominiums and town homes 

perfect for retirees and vacation 

homes for families to sprawling 

estate homes for corporate executives. 

All have private swimming 

pools and are located in 

golf resorts that feature golf, 

water parks and even restaurants 

among their amenities. 

“All of them are professionally 

managed and maintained, 

beautiful luxury estate homes,” 

says Montalvo.

mind, visit homesalesneardisney.

“I must say, Matt has gone 

beyond what I had experienced

from Boston, he could relate 

to what I was looking for, not 

just as a home, but as an investment.”
