23 rd Medway Pride Day May 20 th 

by J.D. O’Gara 

It’s May! And for Medway 

that means Medway Pride! 

The 23 rd Annual Medway 

Pride Day, funded entirely by 

private donations and run by volunteers, 

will take place this year 

on Saturday, May 20 th , from 10 

a.m. to 4 p.m. at Medway Middle 

School. The event brings together 

residents, organizations and businesses 

to celebrate Medway. 

“It’s about running into 

friends, making new ones, and 

having all the fun stuff we expect,” 

says Susan Alessandri, 

one of the Medway Pride organizers. 

Each year, she says, the 

group tries to add a new, interesting 

attraction to the list of triedand-true 

favorite activities on the 

stage. This year, they’ve added 

the family-friendly Flying High 

Frisbee Dogs (flyinghighfrisbeedogs.com), 

a K-9 Frisbee act 

that has performed for the NFL, 

NBA, MLS, Minor League Baseball, 

ESPN, “Animal Planet,” 

NESN, college halftime sporting 

events, fairs, TV commercials 

and more, which will take place 

at 11:30 a.m. 

“Sarah Stone, who’s running 

the whole show now, she’s been 

really great about keeping the 

stuff people love, but adding 

something new each year and increasing 

the level of engagement 

of the community,” says Alessandri. 

Alessandri came aboard three 

years ago, at the same time as 

Stone, to help organize Medway 

Pride Day when the event was 

threatened to be cancelled a few 

years ago. Since then, volunteers 

have stepped up, she says, many 

of them younger volunteers who 

can stay involved for awhile. 

As of Local Town Pages’ deadline, 

Medway Pride Day scheduled 

activities included: 

• 10 a.m. Pledge and opening 

announcements 

• 10:15 a.m. Bike Parade, preK 

through fourth grade 

• 10:30 a.m. Dale Freeman—he 

is now a paraprofessional in the

• 11:30 a.m. Two of Us (Beatles

The Bank on Campus 

You visit prospective colleges, taking note of what bank is on or near campus. 

But why? 

Is it ATM access? 

That bank may have a machine there, but what about when you’re off campus, 

traveling, or home? They charge a fee on top of the ATM fee, all for the privilege of 

accessing your money from another bank’s ATM. 

But they have “Student Checking.” 

Just because they name it after students, doesn’t make it the best option for 

students. 

There is a better, local option. 

Even without “Student” in the name, NB Checking is ideal for those going off 

to school. It’s free, pays interest and automatically reimburses every fee at every 

ATM in the world; essentially making every ATM your ATM. And no need to visit 

a branch with NB Mobile; easily deposit checks, transfer money, earn cash back 

rewards and pay bills with your smartphone or tablet. 

No 1-800 Numbers. 

NB Checking comes with something their “Student Checking” can’t: Needham 

Bank. With us, you receive concierge levels of service, regardless of your account 

balance. If NB Checking is the right choice for you, it’s easier than you think to 

open an account. 

Start a conversation with Millis’s personal banker, David Scarcella, at 

781-247-6881 or DScarcella@NeedhamBank.com. You can also visit David at 

857 Main Street in Millis.

Medway Resident Urges Congress to 

Support Alzheimer’s Research Funding 

Adrienne Ross of Medway 

joined over 1,300 other advocates 

from across the nation in 

Washington D.C., at the Alzheimer’s 

Association Advocacy 

Forum on March 27-29. 

In 2008, Osborne’s father was 

diagnosed with younger-onset 

Alzheimer’s at just 50 years old. 

Shortly after his diagnosis, Adrienne 

knew she wanted to get 

involved with the Alzheimer’s 

Association. She joined the Walk 

to End Alzheimer’s and has been 

an active participant for over 9 

years. Three years ago, Osborne 

took her commitment further 

by joining the Neponset Valley 

Walk to End Alzheimer’s planning 

committee, this year she sits 

as the committee’s co-chair. 

Osborne notes that each year, 

she looks for more opportunities 

to get involved to support 

research and care for those impacted 

by Alzheimer’s. She heard 

of the Association’s Advocacy 

forum years ago, but mentioned 

she was nervous to attend, “Talking 

to members of Congress always 

seemed so intimidating to 

me. This year, I finally just took 

the plunge and registered for the 

Forum, and am so glad I did!” 

The Alzheimer’s Association 

Advocacy Forum seeks to 

educate members of Congress 

about the impact of Alzheimer’s 

disease in the United States. At 

the forum, Ross attended seminars 

on Alzheimer policy issues, 

networked with advocates across 

the country and had the opportunity 

to share her personal story 

on Capitol Hill with local members 

of Congress. 

“I had the time of my life 

and was able to share my personal 

story with Congressman 

Joe Kennedy, as well as Senator 

Markey and several other MA 

representatives or their aides,” 

said Ross. 

According to the Alzheimer’s 

Association, more than 5 million 

Americans are living with 

Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is the 

6 th leading cause of death in the 

United States and the only disease 

in the top 10 that cannot be 

prevented, cured or slowed. 

“We know that Alzheimer’s 

disease remains one of the most 

critical public health issues in 

America,” said Daniel Zotos, 

Director of Public Policy of the 

Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New 

Hampshire Chapter. 

“As we continue to push for 

research funding and improvement 

in care and treatment, we 

need more advocates like Adrienne 

to give those impacted by 

Alzheimer’s a voice.”

opportunities with the

Hampshire Chapter

Lasers and the Eye 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Optical 

Shop 

On-Site 

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 

targeted 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 

Eyelid 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 light- sensitive 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 was 

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. 

We offer the same. We are 

proud to bring this technology 

locally. Laser technology can 

help us take care of your eyes 

including no blade laser cataract 

surgery. This technology is now 

offered in our offices and closer 

to home.

Free Dental Screening Clinic for Mass. Seniors May 6 

A Free Dental Screening 

Clinic for senior citizens will be 

held in Attleboro on Saturday, 

May 6 from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

at Community VNA, 10 Emory 

Street, in Attleboro. To schedule 

your free appointment for a dental 

screening, call (774) 203-1906. 

Appointments are open to any 

older adult, age 60 or over, from 

any town living in Massachusetts. 

At the free screening clinic, 

participants will receive a dental 

screening exam and have the opportunity 

to discuss the findings 

with the dentist in the clinic’s 

relaxed, friendly setting. Dentists 

from our area, including Dr. 

Donald Pierce, volunteer to examine 

patients for problems with 

their teeth, gums, and dentures. 

Participants will also be screened 

for oral cancers and have the opportunity 

to receive free denture 

cleaning and labeling provided 

by students from the Massasoit 

Community College’s Dental 

Assisting. Students will also offer

tips and answer questions about 

good oral hygiene. All students 

are under the supervision of their 

instructor as they participate in 

the screening clinic. 

Nutritional information will 

be provided about food choices 

to those experiencing chewing 

problems, dry mouth, medication 

interactions, and other concerns. 

“More than three-quarters 

of older adults in Massachusetts 

don’t have dental insurance,” explains 

Dr. Donald Pierce, a North 

Attleboro dentist and planning 

committee co-chair. “Many of 

the seniors who attended the free 

screening clinic haven’t been to 

a dentist in a while, so they have 

concerns they want to discuss. At 

the screening clinic, we take time 

to talk with them and answer 

their questions.” 

Studies have shown that lack 

of oral health care can lead to 

serious overall health care risks. 

According to the CDC, studies 

link oral infections with diabetes, 

heart disease, and stroke. Most 

oral diseases are preventable. 

During the screening participants 

can also learn more about 

the Elder Dental Program, a 

project of the Community VNA 

which helps low income seniors 

to access local dental services 

provided at reduced fees based 

on a sliding scale. 

The Free Dental Screening 

clinic has been underwritten by a 

grant from the Attleboro Rotary 

Club and is funded in part by a 

grant from Bristol Elder Services, 

Inc. through contracts with the 

Massachusetts Executive Office 

of Elder Affairs and by a grant 

from United Way of Greater

Say No to Lice – without Harsh Chemicals 

As if contracting lice weren’t 

bad enough, sufferers are often 

worried about the toxicity of 

chemical treatment, not to mention 

the stigma associated with 

having lice and their nits. 

Brenda Howard, owner of 

Lice Clinics Medway, can ease 

those concerns. Howard takes 

care of lice in a quick, safe, 

chemical-free procedure using a 

new FDA certified lice treatment 

device. 

“Lice are everywhere, getting 

lice is not related to the cleanliness 

of the person or his or her

environment. Lice don’t harbor 

disease but certainly any parent 

whose child has contracted these 

parasites know a lice infestation 

can be unsettling and even 

depressing,” explained Brenda 

Howard, owner of Lice Clinics 

Medway. 

One of the common solutions 

offered today involve nit picking 

(the tedious process of removing 

eggs, nymphs, and adults out of 

the hair with a super fine tooth 

comb, then applying over the 

counter products containing pesticides). 

This process must often 

be repeated several times and 

does not always produce eradication, 

as lice and their eggs can be 

resistant to the chemicals-- And 

now a SUPER LOUSE has evolved 

with extra thick eggs, completely 

resistant to over the counter the 

pesticides known as pyrethroids.

And if you miss one egg during 

the comb out, the egg will hatch 

and the cycle will start again. 

“At Lice Clinics of Medway, 

we use a new FDA cleared device, 

called the Airalle,’ that applies 

an evenly distributed stream 

of hot, dry air, across the entire 

scalp of our clients. This is a 

revolutionary option to treating 

head lice with pesticides, herbal 

lice remedies, suffocation products 

or lice combs,” said Howard. 

The device dehydrates the 

lice eggs, nymphs and adults. 

Each treatment takes about 60 

minutes, involves no PESTI- 

CIDES, so it is safe, efficient 

and 100% effective. We guarantee 

you will leave our clinic lice 

free. Even the SUPER LOUSE 

EGGS DIE UNDER THIS TREAT- 

MENT. At the conclusion of the 

visit, our clients go home with all 

natural oil in their hair (covered 

by a shower cap). Wash the oil 

out of the hair after 30 minutes 

(to suffocate any surviving adults) 

and problem solved. We give our 

clients a checklist on heat treating 

clothing, bedding, combs and 

brushes too; as such measures 

must be implemented to prevent 

reinfection.

Milford Federal was one 

of 125 bank participants who 

hosted local levels of the competition 

and selected a winner to 

represent their bank and compete 

on the national level. Matthew 

and Kevin’s video, “Mr.

importance of saving money for 

unexpected expenses and future 

goals. 

“We are thrilled for Matthew 

and Kevin and are proud 

to be a part of this major accomplishment,” 

said Cynthia

best way to connect with young 

people is through something 

they enjoy or can relate to, and 

Matthew and Kevin’s video does 

just that.” 

As the 3rd place winners, 

a cash prize of $1,000 will be 

awarded by the ABA Foundation

Local Fitness Expert Offers Tools to Tackle Stress 


Stress. Whether it comes from 

your job, your relationship, your 

health, your financial status, or 

family problems, pressures build 

on us all and can take their toll on 

your health and well-being. 

What if you could arm yourself 

against those stressors? 

Local fitness expert and author, 

Jason Shea, the Statewide 

Health and Wellness coordinator 

for the Municipal Police Training 

Committee and owner of APECS 

Corp., in Medway, has put together 

an easy-to-read, practical 

guide that includes steps you can 

take to guard your mental and 

physical health from the effects 

of stress. His most recent book, 

Stress Strategies, looks at many 

known and unknown causes of 

stress, how it affects us both physically 

and mentally, and simple 

steps we can all take to counter 

stress even before it hits. 

“It’s like playing a game of 

chess against the stresses of life,” 

says Shea, a PICP Level IV International 

Strength Coach, author, 

speaker, and former college 

adjunct professor who developed 

the book in response to demand 

from clients who range from athletes, 

SWAT, SpecOps and military 

personnel to business execs 

and everyday fitness enthusiasts. 

“In playing the game of chess, if 

stress makes a small move against 

us, like moving a pawn up one 

space, how big of a countermove 

do we need to make? Is it worth 

moving the queen to block the attack?” 

he asks. 

Shea demonstrates how everyone 

can build his or her immunity 

from stress, condensing over 150 

hours of research, from more 

than 200 studies, into this easy-toread 

guide. 

“You can arm yourself with 

both physical and mental tools to 

protect your body and mind from 

the negative effects of stress,” he 

says. “With an increase in our 

stress burden, smaller, normally 

less impactful stresses begin to 

take their toll on us.” 

The book begins by outlining 

what those stressors are, ranging 

from both endogenous and exogenous 

sources that can be exacerbated 

by things including poor 

nutrition or lack of sleep. Seemingly 

simple factors such as poor 

posture, dehydration, or vitamin 

or mineral deficiencies can lead 

to an increase in the stress hormone, 

cortisol, he explains. Stress, 

the book explains, is related to the 

perception of the demand and 

the perceived ability to cope with 

that demand. 

Part two of the guide examines 

how that stress translates into 

physical issues. 

“What are the symptoms of 

stress?” says Shea. “Muscle tightness 

and injuries can come from 

stress. Stress can decrease flexibility 

and circulation, aggravate 

Raynaud’s syndrome, affect thermal 

regulation and even increase 

unsightly visceral fat accumulation,” 

he says. Physical and emotional 

manifestations range from 

irritability and sadness to appetite 

changes, dizziness and changes in 

hormonal status. What’s more, 

factors such as age, gender, obesity, 

food, diet and even household 

chemicals can affect cortisol levels, 

thus affecting the body’s ability to 

manage stress. 

Finally, the most extensive 

part of the book, part three, deals 

with strategic solutions, from dietary 

changes such as increasing 

magnesium, drinking green tea, 

supplementing with acetyl-Lcarnitine, 

or introducing medicinal 

herbs including holy basil and 

ashwagandha, to the body as a 

part of wider lifestyle changes. 

Shea’s book bridges mindaltering 

approaches of calm, 

innovative, non-dogmatic and optimistic 

thinking combined with 

decisive action, and interpersonal 

connectedness and support, with 

building physical stress resistance 

through diet and dietary supplements, 

balneotherapy (or water 

therapy), laughing, massage, progressive 

muscle relaxation, improved 

posture, exercise training 

and light exposure, among others. 

“No one ever teaches you 

how to create a coat of armor, 

both inside and out, to handle 

stress,” says Shea. The question, 

he says, is not just “do I have the 

psychological tools, but do I also 

have the physical tools to better 

tolerate stress? On one side of 

the chess board, you have the top 

stressors – money, work, familial 

stress, economic worry, relationships, 

personal health problems, 

housing costs, job stability, health 

problems of family members, and 

on the other side, you have your 

tools for how you handle stress; 

what moves you make to react to 

specific stressors, and how well 

prepared you are to combat those 

stresses.” 

Stress Strategies is currently 

available on Amazon both in paperback 

and on Kindle. Shea is 

also currently working on Butts, 

Guts and Other Problem Areas, Building 

a Winning Culture (coming out 

this summer), and his second 

children’s book, The Adventures of 

Little Skadooch, Part II. His local 

training facility, APECS Corp., 

is located at 276 Village Street in 

Medway. Here they offer training 

techniques and educational 

tools to optimize athletic performance, 

minimize risk of injury, 

and decrease stress. You can find 

out more, and read Jason’s blog,

Register O’Donnell Promotes 

Registry of Deeds Internet 

Research 

Norfolk County Register of 

Deeds William P. O’Donnell is 

providing a friendly reminder to 

consumers that you don’t have to 

spend time and money to drive to 

the Registry to view land records 

since they are available online via 

the Registry’s internet-based document 

research system at www. 

norfolkdeeds.org. 

“Consumers can see up to 

6,000,000 scanned land document 

images dating back to the 

founding of Norfolk County 

in 1793. These documents are 

available via our internet-based 

document research system. We 

are bringing the Registry records 

into people’s homes and businesses. 

“Providing secure, accurate 

and accessible land record information, 

coupled with our on-site 

customer service center, is critical 

to our success at the Norfolk 

County Registry of Deed,” said 

Register O’Donnell, who appeared 

March 22 nd as guest 

speaker at the Medway Public 

Library, providing an overview of 

the Registry and such consumer 

interests as the Homestead Act. 

Elaborating on the Registry’s 

research capabilities, O’Donnell 

said, “Land record information 

can be researched by multiple 

options, including the name of 

the property owner and property 

address. Consumers can 

access our internet-based document 

research system for many 

endeavors such as, to determine 

property ownership, to research 

land titles, to review land plans 

(only plans which are recorded 

at the Registry) and finally to 

confirm that documents affecting 

a person’s property- such as a 

mortgage discharges - have been 

duly recorded.” 

The Registry’s website also 

provides information on how to 

obtain copies of land documents. 

The Registry copy charges are 

$1.00 per page, plus an additional 

$1.00 per document for 

postage.

Ross Backs Measures to Protect Veterans’ Hiring Practices 

State Senator Richard Ross 

(R-Wrentham) is co-sponsoring 

legislation along with Representative 

John Velis (D-Westfield) 

and Senator Michael Rush 

(D-West Roxbury), that would 

restore a hiring preference for 

veterans in all public safety jobs 

in the Commonwealth and ensure 

that veterans continue to 

be prioritized during such hiring 

processes. 

“The Civil Service law recognizes 

the need to provide preferential 

treatment to veterans in 

the hiring process. However, if 

a town decides to opt out of this 

system, it is crucial that there is a 

method in place to protect these 

experienced and qualified veterans 

among the hiring practices 

of local police and fire departments,” 

said Senator Ross. 

A potential unintended consequence 

of municipalities opting 

out of the Civil Service system 

has been veterans no longer receiving 

the hiring preference 

provided to them under the law. 

Without the Civil Service law 

giving preference to qualified 

veterans, towns may possibly hire 

VISIT OUR WEBSITE: 

WWW.LOCALTOWNPAGES.COM 

fewer veterans for town public 

safety positions. If enacted, this 

legislation could elevate any such 

concerns. 

Please contact the office of 

Senator Ross with any questions 

or concerns at (617) 722-1555 or 

Richard.Ross@masenate.gov.

Optimistic Outlook for Girls Track Team at Millis 

By KEN HAMWEY 

The Millis High girls outdoor 

track team finished 5-1 in dual 

meets last year and posted some 

top-notch results in the postseason. 

Another successful campaign 

this spring is very realistic, 

because coach Laura Conner has 

lots of returnees who’ll provide 

depth and experience. 

The Mohawks, who finished 

fourth at the Tri Valley Meet last 

year, have many strengths and 

Conner, now in her fourth year 

at the helm, is optimistic about 

her squad’s prospects. 

“We’ve got 40 girls on the roster, 

and 20 of them competed 

last year,’’ Conner said. “Our 

experience and depth are good. 

Our strengths are our distance 

runners, sprinters and throwers. 

We’re also strong in the 4x400 

relay, and I like our team chemistry 

and our work ethic.’’ 

Matching last year’s 5-1 record 

will be a challenge but Conner, 

who was a TVL all-star in 

track at Ashland, has a lofty goal 

for her Mohawks. “I’d like to see 

us compete for the league title, 

but it will be a difficult task,’’ she 

said. “Holliston is the defending 

champion, and Norton and 

Hopkinton should be in the mix 

for the championship.’’ 

Millis is off to a .500 start, 

defeating Bellingham and losing 

to Ashland. While Conner 

is bullish on her squad, she’s also 

pleased with her senior tri-captains 

— Taylor White (hurdles, 

high jump), Parousia Cruz (400, 

4x400) and Sarah Wenzel (javelin, 

shot put, discus). White’s 

best time in the 400 hurdles is 

1:08.9; Cruz has compiled a best 

of 1:00.35 in the 400 and Wenzel’s 

personal best in the shot put 

is 29-11. 

“Our captains are skilled leaders 

who are energetic and motivating,’’ 

Conner said. “Taylor 

has good technique and form in 

the hurdles and high jump. Parousia 

has excellent endurance, is 

strong and fast while Sarah relies 

on strength and coordination.’’ 

Three sophomores who’ll play 

key roles include Morgan Kane 

(100, 200, high jump), 

Sara Schildwachter (200, 

4x100) and Ciara Moynihan 

(400, 4x400). Kane’s personal 

best in the 100 is 13.2 seconds; 

Schildwachter’s best is a 26.93 in 

the 200 and Moynihan’s has run 

the 400 in 1:00.10. 

“Morgan is one of our hardest 

workers, and she’s very focused,’’ 

Conner said. “Her speed is excellent, 

and she’s effective out of 

the blocks. Sara has speed and is 

a disciplined runner. Quick out 

of the blocks, she continues to 

improve as she transitions to the 

400. Ciara anchors our 4x400 

relay. She’s got good form, a long 

stride and speed and endurance.’’ 

Senior Theresa Cerullo has 

achieved a personal best of 109-1 

in the javelin and she also throws 

the discus. “Theresa is tall, strong 

and has very good technique and 

footwork,’’ Conner noted. “A 

hard-worker, she’s improved because 

of strength training and 

getting off-season coaching.’’ 

Rounding out Millis’ nucleus 

are juniors Julia Krauss (800, 

4x400), Katie Malewicz (200, 

400, 4x400) and Lucy Clayton 

Millis Girls Track Coach Laura Conner has 40 team members on her 

roster this year, with half returning from a successful campaign last 

year. She has high hopes for this year’s team. 

(mile, 800). Krauss’ personal best 

in the 800 is 2:30.63; Malewicz 

has run the 200 in 26.3 seconds 

and her best in the 400 is 1:01 

while Clayton’s best time in the 

mile is 5:30. 

“Julia gives 100 percent in 

every meet and she’s very positive,’’ 

Conner said. “A strong runner, 

she’s got good endurance. 

Katie is very motivated and loves 

to compete. Always focused, she’s 

got speed. Lucy is strong, she’s 

got endurance and her form is 

good. She likes to jump out early 

ahead of the pack and maintain 

a strong pace.’’ 

Five of the girls enjoyed success 

in post-season events last 

year. The 4x400 relay team 

(Malewicz, Krauss, Cruz and 

Moynihan) captured first place 

in the Division 4 State Meet in 

a time of 4:07.18 and advanced 

to the All State Meet. Cerullo 

placed second in the javelin (104- 

11) and sixth in the discus, moving 

on to the All States and the 

Nationals. 

When Conner, who also 

coaches girls indoor track and 

boys and girls cross-country, 

worked in Millis as an art teacher, 

she was able to recruit candidates. 

But, now working as an art 

instructor at the Medway Middle 

School, her focus to add recruits 

is by word-of-mouth. 

“I no longer teach at Millis, 

but when I was, I asked every 

student who wasn’t involved with 

a sport to try cross-country or 

track,’’ she noted. “Now, the kids 

who run for me are doing some 

recruiting. They ask their friends 

to try out or stress how good it 

is to be part of a successful program. 

One beautiful aspect of 

track is that it offers a chance 

to star as individuals while also 

helping the team achieve success.’’ 

A graduate of Fitchburg 

State, Conner is working on her 

masters at Framingham State in 

art education. A miler at Ashland, 

she ran her first marathon 

this year, competing for the Hale 

Reservation in Westwood, an organization 

that conducts summer 

programs and camps for underprivileged 

children. 

Conner’s coaching philosophy 

focuses on competing to 

win, reaching one’s potential and 

enjoying track. “Valuable life 

lessons can be learned from athletics, 

like setting goals and overcoming 

adversity,’’ she noted. 

“Working together is a good reallife 

lesson and it usually leads to 

success.’’ 

That formula sure has worked 

at Millis in spite of the girls running 

all their meets at their opponents’ 

tracks. “Our track is gravel 

and not regulation size,’’ Conner 

said. “We have no home-court 

advantage, and bus rides sometimes 

get tiresome. We often 

wonder just how good we could 

be if we had meets at our own 

track and how many fans we’d 

attract.’’ 

No home meets is an adversity 

that obviously makes the Millis 

girls a close-knit and ultra-determined 

track squad.

Sports 

Jack Moriarty – Down in the Dirt for Millis Baseball 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Millis baseball captain Jack 

Moriarty is a dirt dog in the true 

sense. The senior catcher doesn’t 

mind getting his uniform dirty; 

in, fact he’d rather prefer it. 

The three-sport athlete (baseball, 

football and basketball) 

began playing baseball like most 

at an early age, and although 

the diamond is his first love, he 

says there is nothing like football. 

Catcher became his main 

position while playing double A 

baseball in Millis (second grade), 

and although he has played third 

base for the Mohawks, calling 

the plays from behind the plate 

is where he’d rather be. 

“I came in contact with playing 

catcher in Double A when we 

rotated through the positions,” 

Moriarty said. “I just remember 

doing whatever I needed to do to 

keep that ball in front of me and 

not get past me. I fell in love with 

the position right there.” 

It was here he developed his 

dirt dog mentality and his passion 

for actual dirt on his uniform. 

Moriarty believes first and 

foremost no matter what position 

you’re playing, you can’t let 

the ball get past you. 

“Whether I’m playing catcher 

of third base I’ll do anything that 

I can to knock the ball down and 

keep it in front of me,” he said. 

Millis Head Coach Mike 

Carter agrees. 

“On the field, he’s a hard 

working individual that’s high 

dedicated to getting better. He 

doesn’t fear the ball at all and 

will use whatever body part he 

has to knock the ball down and 

keep it in front of him 

to make the play,” the 

Coach said. “As a coach, 

you definitely want to see 

your players field the ball 

cleanly; Jack’s not perfect 

but he gets the job done. 

And when you talk about 

getting dirty – that’s definitely 

him.” 

It was around sixth 

grade when the Millis 

captain realized that 

he had what it takes to 

play catcher on the high 

school team. Playing on a 

bigger diamond, he was 

one of the only ones who 

could make the throw to 

second base from behind 

the plate. Although he 

knew that he could play 

the came on a higher 

level, he was not exactly 

ready for what was to come. 

“Playing for the junior varsity 

team was a big adjustment; 

the game was so much quicker 

that what I was used to,” Moriarty 

said. “And when I made it 

to the varsity team, it was even 

quicker.” 

As a freshman and sophomore, 

Moriarty found himself 

behind the plate for the Mohawks 

junior varsity team with 

an occasional call up to varsity. 

Although he only found himself 

involved in a handful of games 

for the varsity team, he would 

have like to play more especially 

since his older brother Colin was 

a senior at the time. 

In his junior season, he found 

his way to the varsity squad for 

good. Unfortunately, there was 

a senior catcher on the team, so 

Moriarty found his way to the 

infield. 

“Jack was our mainstay 

catcher on the JV team his freshman 

and sophomore years, but 

when he got to the varsity team 

in his junior year, there was an 

established senior catcher in his 

way so we put him at third,” 

Carter said. “This year, he 

should see the majority of his 

time behind the plate, but when 

you’re looking to put together 

the best defense in the field he 

may see some time at third. He’ll 

be in the starting lineup somewhere, 

that you can count 

on.” 

While his defense is 

definitely to notch, Moriarty 

struggled at the plate 

last spring. According to 

Carter, it got to him early 

and he just couldn’t adjust. 

“I started the season 

out ok, but then I hit a 

bad slump and never 

could get out of it,” Moriarty 

said. “I had played 

in a good league prior to 

my junior year so it wasn’t 

like I didn’t know how to 

hit. I know I can hit, but 

my confidence was just 

not there when I got into 

that slump and couldn’t 

shake it – it became a 

mental thing more than 

anything else.” 

So, with hitting being an issue 

last year, the senior captain took 

right to the batting cages as soon 

as basketball was complete, and 

as he enters his final campaign 

as a Mohawk, he feels zoned in 

and comfortable at the plate. 

“Playing behind the plate is 

second nature,” he said. “My 

goal this year is to get the bat on 

the ball and be a consistent hitter 

at the plate. As for the team, 

I’m looking to be a competitive 

team in the Tri Valley League, 

especially since last year was 

tough.” 

If his extra hitting in the offseason 

has indeed improved his 

batting skills, Moriarty may see 

his name higher in the lineup 

this season. 

“He’s typically been one of 

our better doubles guys,” the 

coach said. “Last year, he was 

hitting down near the bottom 

of the lineup, but if he fixed 

his swing he’ll be near the top 

this year. Jack’s a tough at bat 

and doesn’t go down that easy.” 

Carter is hoping that his catcher 

has improved his batting so that 

he can help this team improve in 

the Tri Valley League and hopefully 

earn a trip to the tournament.

The Snow is the Story 

By John Ke ley 

editor 

As with most stories, there are 

two sides. Some would s e the new 

snowfa l as (cold) beauty, while 

other s e a nuisance to b endured. 

Sch ol children s e a unique opportunity 

for play, or a day o from 

sch ol. The pragmatist s es the 

cycle of water that includes evaporation 

in one season, and condensation 

in another. At some point, 

many people understand it as a fact 

of life, sometimes mild, at other 

times dangerous. 

Certainly, we ar experiencing 

a harsh winter by most standards. 

From October through most of January, 

we did not s e this coming. 

Over a thr e w ek period through 

the mi dle of February, Ashland 

has received about six f et of snow. 

Fortunately, the town has the capability 

to deal e fectively with the 

e fects of the storms, and the sta f 

a the Department of Public Works 

(DPW) has demonstrated superb 

fortitude in executing one of their

Franklin Library Invites 

Genealogy-minded 

Folks to Join the Club 

By MarJorie turner ho lMan 

The night was bi ter cold, but 

for the 20+ folks who showed up 

a the Franklin Public Library for 

the first m eting of the Genealogy 

Club, it was a time to talk 

about family co nections and 

countries of origin. Many participants 

were from Franklin, with a 

few from Milford, Norfolk and 

Be lingham. The theme of connections 

was consistent as each 

person explained their interest in 

participating in the group. 

Linda Batchelder of Franklin 

noted that she got interested in 

genealogy because of a relative’s 

ashes that remain in her a tic. 

“His name was Bertul—he died 

during the 1918 flu epidemic— 

a friend of my grandfather’s,” 

Batchelder began. “When my 

grandfather was able to return to 

Latvia, he wa su posed to take 

the ashes wit him, but wasn’t 

a lowed to. They’re sti l in our 

a tic. We learned that Bertul had 

b en our grandfather’s best man 

in his we ding and ma ried a 

relative of ours.” 

Each person had stories to 

share of wha they had already 

learned in their family research, 

and a l had mysteries they hoped 

to solve in the future. Vicki Buchanio, 

Head of Reference and 

Public Services a the Franklin 

Public Library told the group, “I 

have lots of relations who must 

sti l be alive—I’ve never found 

the death certificates for them, 

even though some of them were 

born in 1802, so they must sti l 

be alive!” 

Among those who a tended 

were people with r ots in Finland, 

Poland, Germany, and 

England, besides several of 

Scots-Irish descent. Buchanio 

was pleased with the turnout— 

she had b en afraid n one would 

show up. Buchanio has had a 

long-time pa sion for genealogy

A times, we hear news reports 

of a beloved parent with 

Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, 

who has wandered ou the 

front d or and into the w ods, 

or other situations where a child 

or t en with Autism or a mental 

health i sue has an unfortunate 

encounter with police officers 

who weren’t aware of the child’s 

special circumstances and fears. 

In these cases, a li tle knowledge 

can go a long way. 

The Ho liston Police Department 

aims to arm itself with 

that knowledge and ge to be ter 

know and strengthen its relationship 

with the community it 

serves and protects – and it n eds 

community response to make it 

ha pen. 

In January, The Ho liston 

Police Department launched 

the C.A.R.E. (Children and 

Residents Encounter) program, 

aimed at helping police gather 

information about member of 

the community with special 

n eds, to help foster a relationship 

with the community. 

Lt. Craig Denman is overs e- 

ing the program, which was officia 

ly launched in January. 

“Basica ly, it’ something we 

became aware of and thought 

would be beneficial for people 

in our community, and so we decided 

to develop and adopt it and 

get it ou there.” 

Examples of residents who 

might benefit from this program

Second Annual Ho liston AgCom Family Event 

March 22 at Breezy Hi l 


It’s b en a rea ly long winter.

– “Is It Spring, Yet?” with 

their Second A nual Family 

Event welcoming the season on 

Sunday, March 2, from 12-4

th event wi l feature baby animals 

and farm-related fun for 

the whole family, and the suggested 

family donation, which 

wi l su port Ho liston AgCom, 

is just $5. 

“This is just a fun event for 

families in town, because the 

town i so su portive of agriculture,” 

says Paula Mark, member 

of the Agricultural Commi sion 

who has lived in Ho liston for 

12 years on land, she says, that’s

that I was going to turn it into 

a farm,” she says, explaining, 

with a smile, that her sma l farm 

has grown from just chickens to 

now, b es, alpacas, a horse and 

ra bit. The 4H leader hopes her 

place can someday be a place 

for “ kids to come to reco nect

No One Can Do it Like She Can 

The Li tle White Market Wi l Be Back Be ter than Ever at End of Month 


Just over six years ago, 

Tracey Liberatore had a 

vision for the property she 

drove by at 5 Depot Str et 

in Hopedale just over six 

years ago. 

“I thought it would 

make a cute li tle market, 

and we didn’t have anything 

like that in Hopedale,” 

says the Hopedale 

Mom and 21-year-resident 

of the town. And if anyone 

could turn that li tle 

shop into the kitchen of 

the community, Tracey 

could. She’d worked in 

the f od industry since she 

was a t en, later partnering 

t open a pub in Milford 

ca led “One Flight Down,” 

through which Liberatore 

began her pa sion for f od 

and catering. The Courtyard in 

Milford a preciated her talents 

so much they asked her to run 

its restaurant, and she later came 

back to lead the kitchen, wi ning 

the Ma rio t Diamond A sociate 

and Make a Di ference Awards. 

Busy wit her two boys, Liberatore 

started slo wit her 

new li tle market. Pre ty s on, 

she built a su ce sfu luncheon 

busine s. 

“I think we have a real home 

f eling,” says Tracey. “It’s very 

comfy, like you’re walking into 

your grandmother’s 

kitchen. It’s cozy, and 

there are sme ls (o f od 

c oking).” 

Liberatore and her 

sta f c ok a l of the 

dishes right on the premises. 

“We do a lot of 

homemade soups and 

salads, everything from 

scratch,” says Liberatore. 

“We even roast 

our turkeys here, make 

meatba ls, and we o fer 

di ners, including 

chicken Marsala and 

b ef stew,” she says. 

In fact, Hopedale 

residents and local busine 

ses have begun to 

take advantage of the 

catering options, an area 

Liberatore is excited to 

grow. 

“We do a lot of catering,” 

says Liberatore, who can provide

Last year, the volunt er 

members of the Mi lis Cultural 

Council were brainstorming for 

an artistic, cultural event that 

could draw people from a l different 

areas of the community 

together, something that was not 

just sch ol, or senior citizen or 

music-related, something that 

drew people from a l di ferent 

ages and backgrounds. The result? 

The Mi lis Film Festival. 

This year, it’s back, and the 

Second A nual Mi lis Film Festival’s 

got more su port than 

ever from local busine ses and 

organizations. This year’s event, 

which wi l take place on Saturday 

March 7, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. wi l

category and seven from Mi dle

High Sch ol, we’ve b en able 

to partner with Danie le Manion

lot of these films are coming out 

of. 

The festival is ge ting it out 

of the sch ols and into the community.” 

The adult category encompa 

ses more than high sch ol 

films, however. Some came from 

adults outside of Mi lis, and this 

year, prizes reflect a growing interest 

from the community in the 

endeavor.

FESTivaL 



Over 1 0 Medway High Sch ol 

students from grades 9-12 wi l “go 

together” as cast members, dance 

ensemble, production crew and 

pit band for the musical, Grease 

this month, to be presented from 

March 12-14, at 7:30 p.m. 

The musical features an a ray 

of characters, singing an dancing 

their way through their senior year 

at Ri de l High Sch ol. The show, 

with music and lyrics wri ten by 

Jim Jacobs and Wa ren Casey, is 

fu l of energy and includes comedy, 

romance, and the great sounds 

of the 1950’s. The popula rockn-ro 

l musical numbers, including 

“Greased Lightning,” “We Go Together” 

and “Shaken’ a the High 

Sch ol Hop” wi l have the audience 

moving to the beat. 

“I’m rea ly excited to put on 

this production. It wa something 

the students had b en angling for 

a number of years,” says director 

and MHS English teacher Spencer 

Christie. “When the music director 

(Kendra Nu ting) and I sat down 

over the summer, we thought it 

was the perfect fit, the perfect 

score.” 

Each spring the MHS Musical 

presents a fu l-scale musical comprising 

of Medway High Sch ol 

students. The MHS Musical a lows 

students to be directly involved in 

acting, singing an dancing onstage, 

playing in our pit band, and 

various o portunities o f-stage as 

we l. 

The cast alone for this productio 

numbers 50, says Christie, 

with another 50 students working 

backstage as crew. Two students 

wi l play in the orchestra pit, although 

due to the complexity of 

the music, “we have hired some 

profe sional musicians as we l,” 

says Christie. 

Lead roles were chosen by audition, 

and these cast members include 

both experienced and novice 

players. 

“I’ve only ever done acting at 

Medway High Sch ol,” says Cam 

Swan, cast in the role as “Da ny.” 

“I’ve never taken any voice le sons 

or anything like that.” 

The role, says Swan, is di ferent 

from anything he’s done in

By Grace a len 

Do you know wha tests your 

child is taking thi spring? One 

local residen thinks parents are 

uninformed abou the new education 

standards and the a companying 

tests being considered by the 

state of Ma sachuse ts. He hopes 

to bring the polarizing i sue to the 

forefront at Norfolk Town M eting 

and on the town election ballot. 

The United States is embarking 

on an unprecedented journey 

to unify education standards for a l 

students in kindergarten through 

12th grade. Known as the Common 

Core State Standards Initiative, 

these standard set common 

education benchmarks acro s the 

country in order to prepare students 

for co lege and the workforce. 

The Common Core uses the 

Partnership for A se sment of 

Readine s for Co lege and Car 

ers, or the PAR C exam, to test 

how we l students have learned the 

new cu riculum. In Ma sachuse ts, 

the PAR C exam wi l eventua ly 

replace the Ma sachuse ts Comprehensive 

A se sment System, 

or MCAS test. 

Norfolk resident Patrick 

Touhey would like to put the 

brakes on the PAR C test and 

force discu sion of the new standards 

and whether or not the 

Norfolk and King Philip sch ols 

should implemen them. Touhey 

wi l be placing an article on the 

Norfolk Town M eting wa rant 

to remove Common Core and 

PAR C testing from the sch ols 

in a non-binding vote. He is also 

a tempting to get enough signatures 

to place the question on the 

ba lot for the town election this 

spring. 

Touhey hopes these actions 

wi l send a me sage to local sch ol 

commi t es and the State Department 

of Education: “We don’t 

agr e with the PAR C testing and 

Common Core cu riculum.” He 

wants the local sch ols to return to 

the pre-2 09 Ma sachuse ts educational 

state standards. 

Touhey is part of a group

After a tough winter, the 

community can l ok forward to 

a w ek of nature immersion that 

doesn’t involve snow. The King 

Philip Science National Honor 

Society wi l be hosting naturalist 

Brent Nixon during the w ek of 

March 17 to 24. Several events 

are pla ned for the sch ols and 

the tri-town area. 

Nixon, a renowned science 

educator, has dedicated his life 

to endangered species research. 

Known for his high energy, interpretive 

science shows, Nixon 

travels extensively to promote 

environmental education. In 

a dition to his research work 

and publications, Nixon has appeared 

on TV, radio, and in print 

media. 

The Naturalist-in-Residence 

w ek was the idea of A n Lambert, 

a science teacher at KP 

High Sch ol and the advisor for 

the sch ol’s Science National 

Honor Society. Lambert had 

traveled to Alaska on a cruise 

and Nixon was the naturalist on 

board. 

“His pa sion for his work, 

knowledge about his topics, 

and vivacious, entertaining, 

and informational presentation 

style was what made me think it 

would be a great o portunity for 

the KP students and community 

if we could bring him here,” said 

Lambert. 

Lambert believes that when 

students actua ly m et scientists 

and interact with them, science 

becomes interesting and fun. 

Nixon’s expertise on wildlife and 

field research should prov eyeopening 

to students who spend 

most of their time learning about

Chuck Tashjian aims t o fer 

Natick residents a lot more than

Over 16, 0 copies of

and these wi l be direct mailed 

fr e of charge to households 

and busine ses in the town. The 

paper wi l also be available in its

town sports and local busine ses.

directory serving the Metro 

west area. Online visitors wi l be 

able to a ce s th entire newspaper, 

as we l as a ce s community 

links, coupons for localbusine ses 

and cla sified ads. 

Tashjian began his entrepreneurial 

car er in 1 9 as owner 

of Photosite in Mi lis, later shifting 

t o fset printing in 2 04. 

He then expanded his busine s 

to include the production of 

local telephone directories in the 

Dover, Sherborn, Uxbridge and 

su rounding areas. As a sma l 

busine s owner, the publisher is 

acutely aware of the cha lenges 

area busine ses face in reaching 

key audiences with their limited 

funds or vechile’s to reach the 

whole town of Natick. Local

‘a Place To Turn’ 

for those in need 

By liz taurasi 

It’s b en years in the making, 

but despite some major roadblocks 

an delays, University 

Station in Westw od is fina ly 

opening for busine s in March. 

And with it come some big 

name stores the area has b en 

waiting for, including Target (set 

t open March 4, s e related story 

on page 13) and Wegmans, both 

of which wi l anchor the complex. 

University Station, when 

fu ly complete, is expected to 

include a proximately 50, 0 

square f et of retail and restaurant 

space, along with residential 

apartments and more. 

University Station officia ly 

opens for busine s in March as 

we l as 16 busine ses, including: 

Target, Marsha ls/HomeG ods, 

Nordstrom Rack, Sports Authority, 

PetSmart, Michaels, ULTA 

Beauty, Kay Jewelers, Starbucks, 

Smashburger, Famous F otwear, 

Fidelity Investments, Dre s Barn, 

David’s Bridal, Panera Bread, 

and Charming Charlies. 

Situated on 120 acres, University 

Station, isn’t just going to be 

a new sho ping destination, it’s 

also a community. The mixeduse 

development wi l feature 

a blend of retail stores, restaurants, 

recreation and residential 

housing. The initial residential 

component of the project wi l 

include Gables residential, which 

wi l feature 350 luxury apartment 

units, as we l as Bridges 

by Epoch, a memory care facility; 

both also expected t open 

this year. Gables Residential is 

projected t open in late spring 

2015, a cording to New England 

Development officials. 

A ditiona ly, University Station 

is expected to have up to 

350, 0 square f et of o fice 

space available. 

The project has b en a long 

time in the making. In 2 07, 

the project was put on hold due 

to pla ning and financial i sues. 

In 2 08, Wegmans was held up 

from coming in after a local state 

representative ca led for a home 

rule petition to a prove the liquor 

license for Wegmans at what was 

then known as Westw od Station. 

This ha pened just as the 

legislature was ready to move 

ahead with the a proval. A the 

time, some local representatives 

were concerned about giving 

Wegmans an advantage over 

Roche Bros. Both Wegmans and 

Roche Bros wer eventua ly able 

to secure b er and wine licenses 

in the spring of 2012. Westw od 

Special Town M eting a proved 

the long-awaited project back in 

May, 2013. Developers broke 

ground on the project six months 

later. 

University Station is being 

developed by New England Development, 

along with Eastern 

Real Estate and National Development. 

“We l ok forward to welcoming 

local and area residents to 

this new sho ping destination,” 

Dougla s Karp, president of New 

England Development said in a 

formal statement. “University 

Station wi l be an exciting new 

a dition to Westw od and brings 

together a mix of popular stores, 

restaurants, housing and more.”

TESTIMONIAL FOR ROBIN & MARK SPANGENBERG: 

Testimonial for Robin & Mark Spangenberg: Robin & Mark helped 

us sell our home and helped us purchase a new home a few towns 

away. Robin was extremely knowledgeable about house values, 

neighborhoods, history of sales. Always accessible, helped us 

to see houses right away, and was very flexible in scheduling 

and timing. Always followed up with all parties. Both Robin and 

Mark are extremely honest with a lot of integrity and pride in 

their job. There was no hard sells, no oily sales push. They were 

very patient and viewed the houses as if they were buying thempointed 

out the good and bad. We always felt we could trust their 

opinion. Highly recommend!
