“Autism Eats” Comes to Medway 

By J.D. O’Gara 

If you’re a parent who’s experienced 

the joy of a child 

melting down in a public place, 

you may feel it’s not an experience 

you’re willing to repeat. 

For many parents with children 

who have autism, this experience 

has happened so often that they 

avoid taking their families out 

to eat, an experience many miss 

having. “Autism Eats” is a Massachusetts 

based nonprofit that 

aims to solve this dilemma. The 

group organizes autism-friendly 

dinners at locations throughout 

the state. Recently, on May 

23rd, the group got together for 

a great dinner at Restaurant 45, 

in Medway. The family-friendly 

night, which took place right in 

the general restaurant area of the 

restaurant rather than in a banquet 

hall, for a feel typical of a 

family night out, even included a 

visit from New England Revolution’s 

mascot, Slyde. 

Lenard Zohn is one of the 

founders of Autism Eats. 

“I am an ‘autism father,’” says 

Zohn. “We were always a family 

who loved going out to dinner, 

being with friends, being with 

community, but my son Adin, 

who is now 12, did not share 

this love as much as we did. For 

people with autism, a restaurant 

can exasperate a lot of issues, 

with fluorescent lighting, loud 

music, and the kids don’t want to 

wait, don’t want to be seated, and 

there may not be any food the 

On Tuesday, May 23, Autism Eats, a group that organizes autismfriendly 

restaurant experiences for families, enjoyed a dinner out at 

Restaurant 45, complete with the New England Revolution’s mascot, 

Slyde. 

like. He would flop on the floor, 

run around or play his iPad too 

loudly. We got to the point where 

any enjoyment we had going out 

to dinner was (gone) due to the 

stress we felt.” 

The Zohns, who also have 

a now 14-year-old daughter, 

started going out less and less. 

“My wife, Delphine, said, 

‘We’re not the only autism family 

out there and not the only family 

that misses something typical and 

enjoyable.’ We knew what things 

didn’t work (at a restaurant), and 

we felt if we could take what 

didn’t work and do the opposite 

and modify it, we could make 

what did work (for autism families).” 

In February of 2013, Autism 

Eats held its first dinner in the 

Zohn’s community of Andover. 

“We met in our school and 

told them what we were doing, 

and we found a local restaurant 

I thought would fit the bill in 

terms of layout and attitude of 

the management,” says Zohn. 

“We weren’t really sure how 

many people were going to show 

up. We estimated 30 people, but 

by the time of the event, we had 

110 people join us from all over 

the state, some driving up to two 

hours each way, and they gave 

us the whole restaurant. And it 

was fantastic; everyone just had a 

great time, including us.” 

A night out with Autism Eats 

will provide a nonjudgmental 

environment. All behaviors, says 

Zohn, are welcome. 

“You’re amongst people and 

families that are all experiencing 

the same things. You don’t have 

to say anything or apologize. It’s 

an opportunity to relax, enjoy 

and meet some other people, and 

put the Autism on the shelf for a 

couple of hours.”

Zohn says autistic children 

who’ve attended have been 

calmer than he have imagined. 

“There have been no real 

meltdowns,” he says, “Of course, 

kids don’t necessarily sit the 

whole night, but in a lot of ways, 

it looks typical of a whole lot of 

families.” 

Restaurants are screened in 

advance to make sure they have 

a comfortable physical layout, 

and, just as important, he says, is

ated with a national group, Action 

Together Network (ATN). According 

to that group’s web site, ATN 

is “a volunteer-run support and 

resource provider for the growing 

resistance movement in the United 

States. “ 

Expecting to find the event still 

going on, Action Together demonstrators, 

about 15 in total, at least 

one from as far away as Rehoboth, 

assembled in front of the VFW 

around 6:30 PM, occasionally 

chanting slogans such as “Immigrants 

are welcome here.” People 

who were unaware of the cancellation, 

arrived and congregated in 

the parking log. One individual, 

who declined to provide his name, 

walked up and tried the door of 

the building, only to be told of the 

cancellation. “I’m an immigrant 

myself and I was really looking forward 

to hearing what the speaker 

had to say,” he explained. “It is too 

bad people aren’t more tolerant, I 

hope it is rescheduled,” he added. 

It is unclear whether that will 

happen. “We wanted to shut it 

down; we don’t want hate and 

we don’t want our kids exposed 

to this,” said Kim Thibeault from 

Medway, who said she helped organize 

the demonstration. “It’s not 

a political thing of Democrats or 

Republicans, we just want to stop 

hate,” she added. Stephanie Roberts, 

also from Medway, agreed. 

“CIS is a hate group; their blogs 

try to make immigrants look like 

criminals,” she said. 

According to the CIS web site, 

the organization is run by “a diverse 

board of directors that has 

included active and retired university 

professors, civil rights leaders, 

and former government officials,” 

with research funded by contributions 

from individuals, government 

agencies such as the U.S. Census 

Bureau and Justice Department, 

and foundations. Vaughan, a local 

resident, has testified before Congress 

and the National Press Club 

and has made frequent appearances 

on local and national news 

outlets, including both MSNBC 

and Fox News. She is a former 

member of the State Department 

diplomatic corps. 

However, according to Roberts, 

the Southern Poverty Law Center, 

a non-profit with an endowment 

of more than $300 million that 

focuses on civil rights, has determined 

that CIS is one of a number 

of groups founded by a “white 

nationalist” that believes in genetics 

and “their most quiet group” is 

CIS. That’s the point of my sign, 

she explained, pointing to a placard 

that read: “Your fancy words 

don’t fool me CIS you’re spewing 

hate.” But the SPLC is not without 

some critics of its own. Writing 

in the Weekly Standard in 2014, 

Charlotte Allen noted, “ the SPLC 

started out fighting legal battles 

against lingering segregation in 

the South. More recently—and 

more lucratively, its critics say—it 

has transformed itself into an allpurpose 

antihate crusader, labeling 

1,007 different organizations 

across America at last count as 

“anti-gay,” “white nationalist,” 

“anti-Muslim,” “anti-immigrant,” 

or just plain “hateful…” 

“It is a missed opportunity for 

area residents,” said Gianotti. 

“There has been a lot of miscommunication 

across the Internet 

and this was a chance for people 

to hear and have a dialog with a 

leading expert on immigration 

policy. Instead of just picking up 

headlines, they would have had a 

chance to dig deep and ask questions. 

We just wanted an open and 

respectful dialog,” he said. 

Gianotti said he hopes the 

event will be rescheduled. “This 

has gone way beyond the issue of 

immigration, this is now about the 

right to free speech and assembly,” 

he said. “The night of the event 

and over the next two days, I had 

dozens of calls asking what had 

happened and wanting to know 

when it would be rescheduled,” he 

added.

Launches New FM Radio Station 

Expands Commitment to Community and

Milford, MA. —WMRC- 

First Class Radio has just 

launched a new FM radio station, 

My FM 101.3, to serve 

the Greater Milford area. The 

FM frequency will provide a 

stronger signal, larger coverage 

area, and will remain at full 

power throughout the evening 

and overnight. The multimedia 

company will be re-branded as 

My FM Media. It will include 

radio stations MyFM 101.3 and 

WMRC 1490 AM; programming 

website www.myfm1013. 

com, marketing website at www. 

MyFMMedia.com; and mobile 

device app “MyFM 101.3 Live” 

for live streaming worldwide. 

“Traditional radio is as strong 

as ever, with a weekly reach of 

93%, and with these new media 

platforms, we can inform, engage, 

and entertain more people 

than ever before, more often 

than ever before and in more 

ways than ever before” said President 

Tom McAuliffe II. “We 

understand that people expect 

to access what they want, where 

they want, when they want it. 

The new FM radio station and 

mobile device app allow us to 

continue to serve our region in 

today’s rapidly changing world.” 

WMRC has long been known 

for its commitment to the community. 

From covering breaking 

news and weather, to tirelessly 

fundraising for local charities 

and organizations, the station 

has been recognized for its commitment 

by winning Station of 

the Year in Massachusetts in 

three of the last five years from 

the Massachusetts Broadcasters 

Association. “We recognize the 

responsibility and embrace the 

opportunity we have as a local 

broadcaster, and we’re grateful 

to leverage the power of localism 

to make a difference in the communities 

we serve. Our new FM 

signal will only enhance this effort.” 

said McAuliffe II. 

Established in 1956, WMRC- 

First Class Radio is one of the 

oldest locally owned and operated 

broadcast stations in Massachusetts. 

The company was 

purchased in 1990 by Tom 

McAuliffe, Sr. who was committed 

to the philosophy that a 

strong local radio station makes 

a strong connection to the community. 

His son, Tom McAuliffe 

II, took over as President in 2008 

making the radio station the area’s 

first choice for local news, 

weather, sports, traffic and community 

events. 

AUTISM 


understand what the group is trying 

to do. “We want them to be 

excited about it, to feel they have 

an opportunity to give back to 

the community and create a fun 

night for all of us. And we bring 

them business on a slow night.” 

“I think it’s a wonderful organization,” 

says Dawn Lloyd, 

mother of three from Franklin 

who chose Restaurant 45 for the 

May dinner, the second one she’s 

organized for the group. “It can 

be difficult when you have a child 

that’s on the spectrum, particularly 

when you have to go into 

public places. They may not behave 

in a manner other patrons 

find acceptable. In my household, 

that may look like loud outbursts 

or not staying seated or keeping 

an appropriate volume of voice, 

but autism looks different for everyone. 

Going to an Autism Eats 

dinner literally feels like going to 

a restaurant and takes the weight 

New England 

off our shoulders.” 

Lloyd, who has two children 

on the spectrum, adds, “I can 

breathe. I don’t have to anticipate 

every move they are going 

to make, when are they going to 

yell, are there going to be tomato 

chunks on the pizza, is it going to 

be stressful? And you don’t have 

to wait, which can literally be the 

hardest part.” (Autism Eats dinners 

are served buffet-style.) 

In addition, the Zohns hand 

out a sensory toy at each dinner 

for every child, not just children 

on the spectrum, and children 

are free to get up and leave the 

table when they’re done, she says. 

“It’s really pretty awesome,” she 

says. 

Since that first dinner, Autism 

Eats has held 35 dinners in 12 

states. 

“We’re thrilled with the success 

of it,” says Zohn. “We’re 

adding a new community and 

new states almost monthly.”

Celebrating Arbor Day at Clyde Brown Elementary 

Local tree companies, Harrison 

McPhee, Inc. (HMI) and 

ArborOne, Inc. teamed up to 

celebrate Arbor Day with 3rd 

grade students at Clyde Brown 

Elementary School in Millis. 

Students participated in interactive 

learning stations that 

included climbing demonstrations, 

tree biology, landscape 

design, planting techniques, and 

gypsy moth identification. “We 

are passionate about what we do, 

and we want to instill that love of 

the outdoors in our communities’ 

youth. Celebrating Arbor Day 

with them is one way to demonstrate 

how that love translated 

into a rewarding career path for 

each of our team members”, said 

Scott McPhee, MCA of Harrison 

McPhee, Inc.. 

“I loved how fast the arborist 

could climb into the tree without 

even touching a branch. He 

wrapped his foot around the rope 

and just zipped up the tree like 

he was in the circus!” said one 

excited student who had never 

seen the art of foot locking - an 

original technique for climbers. 

Students then had the chance 

to try their hand at holding their 

weight on the rope, to see just 

how challenging it is to be an Industrial 

Athlete. 

If climbing or biology didn’t 

appeal to someone, there’s a good 

chance that the landscape design 

challenge did. Karen Kerr, the 

HMI landscape designer, presented 

a crash course in how she 

chooses and arranges plants on a 

property. Each student was given 

a sketch of the HMI building 

and was challenged to come up 

with a design. HMI is going to 

choose a winner, who will work 

with Karen to finalize the HMI 

landscape. And since the building 

is right across from The Black 

Cow on Main Street, the winner 

just might be treated to an ice 

cream, too! 

To accommodate the immersion 

classes, one learning station 

was presented entirely in Spanish, 

and focused on specialized 

safety gear for arborists. The students 

walked away with a whole 

new list of vocabulary words that 

could serve as the basis for an upcoming 

ecology test! 

Activities concluded with a 

brief talk about the history of 

Arbor Day, white pine saplings 

to plant with their families, and 

their own Arbor Day t-shirt. 

“We are thrilled that these two 

local companies took the time to 

share the day with us. The students 

learned so much about the 

ways they can contribute to the 

growing needs of our planet.” 

stated Mrs. Mellin, 3rd grade 

teacher and avid supporter of 

environmental awareness. “We 

would love to make this visit part

The Lanterns at Warren Woods 

Where contemporary living meets style and convenience 

By Deborah Burke Henderson, 

Contributing Writer 

Where does desirable singlefamily 

home living meet the 

convenience of condominium 

ownership? They meet at The 

Lanterns at Warren Woods, Ashland’s 

most vibrant 55+ residential 

living environment nestled 

alongside 40 acres of beautiful, 

protected open space and across 

from the expansive Ashland Reservoir 

and the 120-acre Warren 

Woods on Chestnut Street. 

Whether you’re an empty 

nester, single professional or 

someone seeking the enjoyment 

of retirement years, treat yourself 

to a tour of the three village 

home concepts at Five Fern 

Crossing that are being developed 

by The Green Company. 

“The Lanterns is the only 55 

plus condominium community 

in Metrowest with 100 percent 

detached homes,” Sales Director 

Judy Jennings said. “These 93 

homes will have first floor masters, 

front porches and rear decks 

or patios, and a beautiful central 

meeting house and outdoor pool 

are slated for construction this 

summer.” 

“We try to make things as 

easy as possible for the home 

buyer,” Dominique Sampson, 

vice president of sales and marketing, 

added. “We walk through 

the homes room by room so the 

owner-to-be can decide everything 

from the finish and height 

of the kitchen cabinets to carpeting 

style and color to standard or 

upgraded appliances. Judy has 

a long checklist of items she reviews 

with each buyer to ensure 

their new home is personalized 

just for them.” 

Prospective buyers meet with 

home coordinator, Joan Karol, 

three or four times for a half-day 

each to select the flooring, cabinetry, 

countertops, appliances 

and faucets for their new home. 

The Green Company is working 

with top-notch industry leaders 

General Electric, Kohler and 

Mohawk, and buyers are encouraged 

to visit the area stonework 

vendor to sign off on their granite 

slabs prior to installation. 

Currently, The Green Company 

is offering a $20,000 personalization 

allowance for each

buyer. If the home is finished, 

the allowance may be put toward 

final items the owner wants 

to select to further enhance their 

future home. 

“We’ll always offer some type 

of personalization account,” 

Sampson added, “but there’s no 

guarantee about timing for the 

current offer, so we encourage 

folks to come and visit The Lanterns 

to make a more informed 

decision as to whether this is 

the right living environment for 

them.” 

According to Sampson, initial 

customer feedback during early 

tours was taken to heart about 

the largest model’s footprint. A 

few key changes are now being 

incorporated at Village 3 to provide 

an even more spacious and 

airier feel to the open-concept 

living area.

DAM REPAIRS 

During the past holiday season, 

this 1958-square foot model 

at The Lanterns comfortably 

held a gathering of approximately 

50 people. 

Since the homes are built on 

slab construction, each of the 

three residence styles offers additional 

unfinished “flex” space 

upstairs. This fully-insulated 

area may be finished to serve 

as another room or left as is 

for storage space which can be 

heated or air conditioned, if 

desired. The Village 3 model, 

for example, has an extra 500 

square feet upstairs. Although 

this now serves as the development 

company’s conference 

room, it gives any buyer a good 

idea of how the space could be 

used. 

The condominium fee covers 

both condominium amenities 

and association expenses including

Macular Degeneration Supplements 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Age-related macular degeneration 

(AMD) is a deterioration or 

breakdown of the eye’s macula. 

The macula is a small area in the 

retina that is responsible for your 

central vision, allowing you to see 

fine details clearly. There are two 

main types of age-related macular 

degeneration: The “dry” 

form of macular degeneration 

is characterized by the presence 

of yellow deposits, called drusen, 

in the macula. The “wet” form 

is caused by the growth of abnormal 

blood vessels from the 

choroid underneath the macula. 

Those can leak blood and fluid 

into the retina, causing distortion 

of vision. 

If you have an advanced form 

of macular degeneration, you 

are probably taking vitamins and 

antioxidants supplements to help 

slow down the progression of 

this disease. More than a decade 

after the first Age Related Eye 

Disease Study (AREDS) showed 

that taking daily high doses of 

vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, 

zinc and copper can slow down 

the progress of AMD, a second 

study (AREDS 2) has revealed 

that adding certain antioxidants 

to the original formula does not 

provide any extra benefit to patients. 

Advanced AMD can lead to 

significant vision loss, and in the 

United States it is the leading 

cause of blindness. About 2 million 

Americans have advanced 

AMD; another 8 million are at 

risk. 

The first AREDS study was 

conducted by the National 

Eye Institute and concluded in 

2001. It showed that the original 

AREDS formula can reduce patients’ 

risk of the advanced form 

of AMD by about 25%. The 

formula helps protect people’s 

central vision, which is needed 

for reading, driving, recognizing 

faces and other daily activities. 

AREDS 2, which concluded 

in 2011, tested several antioxidant 

nutrients that earlier 

research had suggested might 

protect the eyes: lutein, zeaxanthin, 

and omega-3 fatty acids. 

Omega-3 fatty acids are produced 

by plants and are present 

in oily fish such as salmon. Lutein 

and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, 

a class of plant-derived vitamins 

that also includes beta-carotene, 

and are present in leafy green 

vegetables. The body uses these 

nutrients to maintain the health 

of the retina, the part of the eye 

that can be damaged by AMD. 

Participants in AREDS2 were 

assigned to take one of four different 

AREDS formulas daily for 

five years. 

The AREDS 2 research team 

did find that two patient subgroups 

benefited from taking 

variants of the original AREDS 

formula. The risk of developing 

advanced AMD was reduced by 

about 18% in study participants 

who took the variant that included 

lutein and zeaxanthin but 

no beta-carotene, compared with 

participants who took the variant 

that had beta-carotene but no 

lutein or zeaxanthin. And those 

participants whose diets were low 

in lutein and zeaxanthin at the 

start of the study, but who took 

a variant with lutein and zeaxanthin 

during the study, were 

about 25% less likely to develop 

advanced AMD, compared with 

similar participants who did not 

take lutein and zeaxanthin. 

The researchers say that removing 

beta-carotene from the 

AREDS formula and adding lutein 

and zeaxanthin will result in 

a single formula that is safe and 

effective for all AMD patients. 

Until now, people who were current 

or former smokers could 

only use a formula that excluded 

beta-carotene, because it had 

been linked to risk of lung cancer 

for these patients. About half 

of AREDS 2 participants were 

former smokers. 

Another recent AREDS report 

showed that the benefits of 

taking the AREDS formula appear 

to be long-lasting. Participants 

in the first AREDS study 

who took the original formula 

daily for five years continue to 

enjoy a 25 percent lower risk 

of developing advanced AMD. 

Most report that they are still taking 

the supplement. 

How about if I do not have 

AMD or an early stage of this 

disease? Should I take these 

supplements anyway? There’s 

no evidence the supplements 

help the vision of healthy adults 

or people with earlier stages of 

AMD. The best advice for most

people is to eat a good balanced 

diet with plenty of leafy greens 

and fish. Such a diet is good for 

hearts, and it certainly can’t hurt 

your eyes. 

If you have an advanced form 

of AMD, you will find on your 

local pharmacy shelves supplements 

labeled “AREDS-2”. 

These are the updated supplements 

to look for. 

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 

we use state-of-the-art technology 

to treat a variety of eye 

problems, including macular 

degeneration. We are proud to 

have a Boston Harvard dedicated 

retina specialist in our

of retinal eye disease and 

AMD. With the presence of this

Among the offerings of the 

Medway Makerspace: 

• A green screen, television 

and lighting to go with green 

screen and Medway Cable 

Access will be donating cameras 

when they get their new 

cameras. 

• Knitting machine: donated 

by one of the librarians. 

• Several sewing machines, 

with sewing tools such as 

scissors, an iron, two ironing 

boards and a whole wall of 

clean, donated material to 

use. 

• A 3D printer 

• A Converter for transferring 

slides, photos and negatives 

into digital format 

• A bigger photo scanner 

• Two converters for transferring 

VHS to DVD 

• A number of workstations 

that have such software as 

CAD, Adobe Acrobat Pro, 

Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, 

Final Cut Pro, Garage 

Band, Logic Pro X, 

Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk 

R, to name a few 

• Tools, such as soldering 

irons, electronics items, two 

regulated power suppliers, a 

sander, hammer, screwdrivers, 

drills and more 

• An incubator and a heating 

plate that 4H and others 

used to observe hatching 

eggs and subsequent baby 

chicks. In fact, the Embryology 

Club will start up again 

on June 8th, a 4H impact 

club in which anyone can 

join in the fun. 

“The town of Medway gave 

$50K to do the construction of 

the room, and then the Medway 

Cable Access donated the tech 

side,” says Busa. The craft features, 

she says, were all donated 

by patrons of the library, and the 

Friends of Medway Library sets 

aside a block of money each year 

to help pay for supplies. A great 

big help, says Busa, was Medway 

DPS. 

“The DPS was great. They 

had some fantastic ideas,” says 

Perkins. 

“(Medway DPS) built this 

place. They owned it, gave us 

some great suggestions. They 

really felt like it was their baby. 

They still do,” says Busa. “They 

come in here and they’re always 

painting something or improving 

something.” 

Overall, the Makerspace was 

quite a feat, says Perkins. The 

end result, she says, fits “right in 

with our mission of providing educational 

opportunities and new 

and creative options for people to 

use and things to learn about. It 

allows people to come together, 

so it’s a nice extension. It’s not 

separate from our library, but an 

important part.”

Dean College Holds 

151st Commencement, 

May 6, 2017 

Dean College held its 151st 

Commencement exercises 

on Saturday, May 6, 2017 

at the Dean College campus in 

Franklin, Mass. Over 350 students 

received their degrees, with a large 

number of family and friends in attendance. 

Continuing with tradition, 

the 2017 Commencement ceremony was held 

outside along Awpie Way, considered by many as the most 

beautiful and iconic part of campus. 

The keynote address was provided by Dean College 

Presi- dent, Dr. Paula M. Rooney, who encouraged students to 

never waiver from their dreams. “I hope you will take the insights, 

experiences, relationships and tools gained here – your can-do attitude 

and strong work ethic – in effect, your personal definition 

of The Dean Difference – to reach your dreams and, as Bulldogs, 

never settle and never lose sight of those dreams.” She reminded 

students that, “The Dean Difference doesn’t end as you exit with 

your diploma and begin your next chapter. I ask that you nurture 

that Difference.” 

Additional remarks were provided by Mark D. Boyce, Chairman 

of the Dean College Board of Trustees, along with two graduating 

students, Karen Laven from Medway, MA and Valerie Davis from 

Brewster, NY.

Medway Residents Solid Waste & Recycling Service Changes Beginning July 1, 2017 

In an effort to avoid significant cost increases in our solid waste program 

beginning July 1st, the Town has developed the following changes 

to the program. These changes are developed with our residential 

customers in mind, specifically holding our program fee and yellow bag 

costs steady (no increases) again into Fiscal Year 2018. 

SPECIAL ITEMS (also known as “White Goods”) 

Early estimates of the special items program for Fiscal Year 2018 

indicated a cost increase to the Town in excess of $95,000. This estimate 

was based upon the over utilization of the original intent of the Special 

Items program in recent years and the disproportionate rate of usage 

as compared to other communities. However, the Board of Selectmen 

remains committed to keeping a program in place where the special 

items listed below can still be collected curbside, but with minor 

changes made effective July 1st. Only those special Items that listed 

below are allowed under this program: 

• Refrigerator • Dryer 

• Dishwasher 

• Compactor 

• Stove 

• Air Conditioner 

• Washing Machine • Water Heater 

Effective July 1st, residential curbside customers will be permitted to 

request pickups of any of these Special Items up to four (4) times per 

year subject to a maximum of eight (8) items per year. 

PLEASE NOTE that the changes to Special Item pick-ups do not affect 

regular bulk trash items such as furniture, mattresses, rugs, etc. You 

may continue to leave one bulk trash item with your yellow bag(s) per 

week free of charge. 

TELEVISIONS, MONITORS, & LARGE METAL ITEMS 

Per State Law, televisions, computer monitors, and large metal items 

cannot be disposed of as trash. Beginning July 1st, the Recycling Center 

will feature an additional drop off site for televisions and monitors, 

again, free of charge. A metal dumpster is also available for large metal 

items at no cost. All other electronic items and small appliances may be 

disposed of in your yellow bags. 

BLUE RECYCLE CARTS 

The cost to Medway to service each blue recycle cart is approximately 

$84 per year, per cart, whether or not it is fully used each week. Our 

review indicates that very few households actually use more than 

one blue recycle cart on a regular basis. As such, and in an effort to 

keep costs in line for the vast majority of our customers, the Town will 

begin to recover a portion of the annual blue recycle cart costs for all 

additional carts beyond the one free cart per household. Effective July 

1st, that charge for additional recycle carts will be $50 per cart per year. 

If you wish to discontinue your use of additional recycle carts, please 

contact our DPS Office and it/they will be retrieved from you.

Medway Boy Scouts 

Summer Food Drive June 17 


Medway Boy Scout Troop 

#367 will be holding its “Scouting 

for Food - Summer Stock- 

Up!” food drive on Saturday, 

June 17, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 

Shaw’s in Medway. The drive 

will benefit the Medway Village 

Food pantry supporting local 

families & individuals in need. 

While food drives are common in 

the fall and around the holidays, 

this will be the first of its kind to 

stock up the pantry for the lean 

summer months when many donors 

are away. 

“We have always talked about 

how donations drop off at the 

food pantry during the summer 

months, yet the needs of families 

and individuals utilizing the 

pantry stay the same. In some 

instances, families face an even 

greater challenge during the 

summer months without the 

benefit of school lunches. We decided 

to raise awareness & help 

the food pantry stock-up before 

the summer,” says Sharon Ross, 

Boy Scout Troop 367 volunteer. 

Medway Cub Scout Pack 

#748 has been holding an annual 

“Scouting for Food!” in 

November for the last six years 

at Shaw’s. Boy Scout Troop 

#367 has always assisted with 

that event and volunteered at the 

food pantry’s Thanksgiving and 

Christmas distributions. This 

is the first year that Boy Scout 

Troop #367 will hold a “Summer 

Stock-Up” food drive, an 

event it hopes to continue each 

year. 

“Medway has always been 

such an amazing community 

donating over 2,000 items at the 

holiday drives, so we hope to 

replicate this on June 17th!” says 

Ross. 

Medway 

Boy Scout 

Troop 367 

is currently 

made up of 

46 Scouts, 

grades 5-12. 

This summer, when needy families have the additional challenge of no 

school lunch, Medway Boy Scout Troop 367 will try to stock Medway 

Village Food Pantry’s shelves for the summer with a food drive on June 

17 at Shaw’s in Medway. Photo courtesy of Medway BS Troop 367 

Millis LEO Alyssa Smith Named 

Massachusetts LEO of the Year 


On May 6th, Millis High 

School junior Alyssa Smith was 

named Massachusetts LEO of 

the Year. 

“Our district of LEOs and 

Lions consists of a number of 

towns,” says Mark Caulfield, 

member of the Millis Lions 

Club, Millis High School teacher 

and advisor to the Millis High 

School LEOs. “I chose to nominate 

Allie, just because of all the 

service she does. She volunteers 

for just about everything,” says 

Caulfield, who describes the Millis 

LEOs, who number about 70 

students, as still “in its infancy” in 

its third year. 

The LEOS club gives the kids 

the opportunity to work together 

with Lions and other adults in 

their community to give back to 

their community in which they’ve 

grown up,” says Debbie Hayes, 

of the Millis Lions Club. “When 

we first started this program, our 

hope was we were going to get 20 

kids in the high school to join. We 

were thrilled to get over 50. You 

have an amazing group of kids 

working with an amazing group 

of adults giving everything they 

have back to the community.” 

The term LEO is an acronym 

for “Leadership, Opportunity 

and Excellence.” The Millis 

group will celebrate three years 

in December. Hayes says the 

LEOS program is designed to 

teach leadership, public speaking, 

organizational and financial 

skills. 

“In truth, the LEOS is supposed 

to be a conduit for the 

Lions Club,” says Hayes. Hopes 

are that these young volunteers 

will take enough from their experience 

of giving back to want 

to continue that into adulthood. 

“They gain this great sense of 

self-esteem, because they’re 

heading projects and gaining 

leadership skills they can use 

when they go to college. Now 

you’re talking about future leaders 

in your community.” 

“It has been great for our 

school,” says Caulfield. “We can 

always do more, and I think, as 

a club, we’re trying to come up 

with new ideas and different 

ways the kids can volunteer in the 

community. The kids are eager to 

participate, both with their own 

events, as well as those for the 

Millis Recreation Department or 

the Lions Club.” 

Some of the events the LEOs 

have worked on include an annual 

senior citizens’ dinner, 

hosted by the Lions, a Trickor-Treat-So-Families-Can-Eat 

event, babysitting for the Clyde 

Brown back-to-school 5K, setting 

up for the Warren Jordan Scholarship 

auction, helping the Lions 

raise money for the Fisher House 

with a field of flags, and working 

on a Lions centennial legacy 

project of revamping the animal

shelter at the Millis Transfer Station, 

an event that took place on 

May 20th. 

“I found it really eye opening, 

all the things we can do to help 

the community,” says Smith, who 

is impressed by how far the teens’ 

help goes and by the appreciation 

she feels from the community. 

She was particularly struck, she 

says, when she helped work on 

a holiday brunch for Lions Club 

members who are senior citizens. 

“They tell us stories,” says 

Smith, the current LEOs Vice 

Secretary, “about when they were 

younger and how they wanted to 

participate in the community. 

Their stories are the same as 

ours, about how the things we do 

go so far, and how it’s so important 

that the younger generations 

come up. All the appreciation 

that people give you is so inspiring. 

You don’t realize how much 

people need it until you actually 

help out.”

Millis Spring 

Town Meeting 


The 2017 Annual Spring Town Meeting for the Town 

of Millis will take place on June 5, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. at 

Millis Middle/High School auditorium, 245 Plain Street, 

Millis. This Spring’s Town Warrant, available under 

Current Information at the Millis Town Website, www. 

millis.org, contains 37 warrant articles, including Article 

13, in which Millis voters will decide whether to fund for 

a replacement facility for the Clyde Brown Elementary 

School, a project for which the town may be eligible for 

a school construction grant from the MSBA. The ballot 

funding vote passed for the estimated $51.8 million project, 

$21-21.6 million of which will likely be reimbursable 

to the town by the MSBA, which has approved the 

project. For more information on the project, visit millisschoolproject.org. 

In addition to a number of funding articles, which include 

school repair, new computers, sewer project continuations, 

a Yukon Cargo Trailer for the DPW, and more,

the town of Millis will decide on whether to support “An 

Act to Protect the Civil Rights and Safety of All Massachusetts 

Residents,” also known as the Massachusetts Safe

Tri-County Awarded Grant from 

Silvio Cella Family Foundation 

Tri-County Regional Vocational 

Technical High School 

has been chosen as one of four 

regional 2017 recipients of the 

Silvio Cella Family Foundation 

grant. The grant program 

provides high school football 

teams in Massachusetts funding 

to help improve playing conditions, 

increase player safety and 

participation, purchase needed 

equipment, and build teamwork, 

pride and confidence. 

Annually, four high school 

football programs are selected 

to each receive a $3,000 grant to 

be used to support their football 

programs, per MIAA (Massachusetts 

Interscholastic Athletic 

Association) guidelines. Three 

Tri-County Football team players, 

Juniors Robert Fryar and 

William Silver both of Plainville 

and Zack Spencer of Walpole, 

as well as Head Coach Anthony 

Mazzola, were presented with 

the award. Other 2017 recipients 

of the Silvio Cella Family Foundation 

grants included Tech Boston 

Academy, Worcester North 

High and Holyoke High School. 

“The Silvio Cella Family 

Foundation Grant awarded to 

Tri-County’s football program 

will provide us with updated 

equipment that will benefit our 

athletes from a teaching and 

safety standpoint by improving 

proper tackling and blocking 

techniques. These techniques will 

help reduce and hopefully prevent 

head and neck injuries and 

specifically concussions, said Tri- 

County Head Coach Anthony 

Mazzola. “We are so grateful to 

be a recipient of this grant which 

will benefit our players and program 

immensely.” 

“This much-needed grant 

money will help these football 

programs to improve player 

safety and upgrade facilities and 

equipment, and build a sense 

of teamwork and community 

in these schools,” said Michael 

Cella, president, Silvio Cella 

Family Foundation. “We are 

honored to carry on my Dad’s 

legacy and support high school 

football in Massachusetts.”

Millis Cultural 

Council Seeks 

Input from Millis 

Residents 

Every 3 years the Millis Cultural Council (MCC) 

surveys the community to assess where are our greatest 

needs in arts and cultural activities in Millis. Because 

council members are responsible for distributing public 

dollars, the MCC needs to solicit and collect local 

public opinion about how to best distribute funds. The 

Millis Cultural Council receive more requests than can 

be funded, and strong council priorities based on community 

input can help guide grant making decisions. 

Knowledge of resources, interests, and needs can help 

us make difficult decisions and encourage communityresponsive 

proposals. 

Please click the link below by June 10th and take a 

few minutes to answer a simple 5-question survey at SurveyMonkey 

to help us with our funding priorities in the 

coming year. Thank you!

Blackstone Valley Trek 

The Eighth Annual Massachusetts 

Walking Tour, founded 

by songwriting duo Mark Mandeville 

& Raianne Richards, will 

be coming this year to the Blackstone 

Valley – performing 11 

free community concerts while 

traversing the state on foot. Since 

2010, Mandeville and Richards 

have organized now over 100 

coffeehouse style concerts which 

showcase local musicians and 

artists across the state – creating 

a quality evening program for all 

ages and an opportunity for talent 

young and old to be enjoyed 

by a listening audience. Venues 

chosen for these community 

concerts include public libraries, 

town parks, and historical properties 

– and this year all events

trails – Southern New 

England Trunkline Trail 

(SNETT), Charles River Bikeway, 

and trails within DCR’s 

Riverbend Farm to name a few. 

In addition to evening concerts, 

the troupe will also be organizing 

a series of short group 

hikes wherein the community 

will be invited to meet up with 

the Massachusetts Walking Tour 

as they travel between towns. 

These public hikes will highlight 

some of the Blackstone Valley’s 

recreational hiking trails, routes 

which appear in local author 

Marjorie Turner Hollman’s 

book Easy Walks In Massachusetts. 

All routes will be displayed and 

downloadable at www.masswalkingtour.org.

Volunteers Sought for Town of Medway Design Review Committee 

Interested in architecture, design, 

and landscaping or site design? 

The Medway Planning and 

Economic Development Board is 

looking for two Medway residents 

to serve on the Town’s Design 

Review Committee (DRC). The 

Board seeks individuals with design 

expertise who are motivated 

to get involved in Town affairs by 

serving on a Town committee. At 

the present time, the DRC particularly 

needs a member with 

graphic design experience. 

The DRC advocates for the 

preservation and enhancement 

of Medway’s natural, scenic 

and aesthetic qualities in order 

to achieve the pleasing composition 

of places within the context 

of the Medway Master Plan. The 

Committee works to maintain 

and/or improve the quality of 

life, value of property and viability 

of commerce through the use 

of thoughtful and communityappropriate 

design practices as 

represented by the Medway Design 

Review Guidelines. 

The DRC assists and advises 

the Planning and Economic 

Development Board, its applicants, 

and other Town boards 

and committees as may request 

design assistance with regard to 

the review of applications for 

site plan approval, subdivisions, 

special permits, scenic road work 

permits, signs, and other development 

proposals. The DRC’s 

recommendations are advisory 

and include suggestions for modifications 

to proposed designs 

and conditions for approval. The 

Committee also reviews all proposed 

signs in Medway and provides 

design recommendations. 

First established in 2003, the 

DRC is comprised of at least 

five and up to seven Medway 

residents with experience and/or 

training in community planning, 

architecture, landscape and site 

design, sign design, environmental 

design, graphic design, urban 

design or other design related 

professions. The term of office is 

two (2) years. 

The DRC meets regularly on 

the first and third Monday night 

of each month, but is convened 

more often if necessary to respond 

quickly to various referrals. 

Medway residents interested 

in serving on the Design Review 

Committee are asked to send or 

email a letter of interest and a 

brief resume to: 

Medway Planning & Economic 

Development Board

Millis High Schools 

Recognized Nationally 

Millis High School has earned a 

Silver Medal in the latest rankings 

of America’s Best High Schools by 

US News and World Report. For its 

2017 rankings, the magazine evaluated 

almost 22,000 high schools 

throughout the nation. To determine 

rankings researchers from 

US News first analyzed schools to 

identify those that outperformed 

statistical expectations in their 

state’s English and math proficiency 

exams (in Massachusetts, 

MCAS exams). Those identified 

schools were then assigned a “College 

Readiness Index” (CRI) based 

on the schools’ AP participation 

rates and how well students who 

took AP classes performed on the 

AP exams. Millis High School had 

a CRI of 51.3, was ranked 31st 

in Massachusetts and was ranked 

664th nationally (top 15%). For 

more information on US News and 

World Report’s rankings, please 

visit: https://www.usnews.com/

articles/us-news-ranks-best-highschools 

A week after receiving recognition 

from US News and World Report, 

Millis High School was recognized 

by The Washington Post as one of 

America’s Most Challenging High 

Schools. The Post created a “Challenge 

Index” and evaluated over 

22,000 public high schools in the 

nation. This metric was based on 

the number of students enrolled 

in college-level classes (in the case 

of Millis High School, Advanced 

Placement classes). Schools that 

had a Challenge Index of 1.0 or 

greater were included on the list. 

Only about 12% of the schools assessed 

by the Post earned the distinction. 

Millis was ranked 1,704 

nationally with a Challenge Index 

of 1.637. 

Medway High School Earns 

GOLD Medal in National Ranking 

Medway High School 

earned a GOLD medal and 

was recently ranked #10 in 

US News and World Reports’ Best 

High Schools in Massachusetts 

ratings and #293 nationally for 

student performance. In addition, 

Medway High School is 

ranked #219 in STEM High 

Schools nationally. To determine 

the top science, technology, 

engineering and math 

schools, U.S. News looked at 

the top 500 public schools from 

the Best High School rankings 

and evaluated their students’ 

participation and success in 

Advance Placement science 

and math tests. 

A week after receiving recognition

Medway Softball Takes It One Game at a Time 

By Christopher Tremblay 

It was a rough spring last year 

for the Medway softball team as 

the Mustangs failed to make the 

playoffs for the fourth straight 

season under Coach Jeff Kearney. 

Although the Mustangs concluded 

the 2016 season with a 

5-15 record, Kearney is looking 

for the team to break that streak 

and advance into the tournament 

this year. 

“Our goal is to get the 10 

wins needed to qualify for the 

state tournament and see what 

happens once we get there,” the 

Medway Coach said. “We’re off 

to a good start and need only 

another four wins to qualify, 

but there is still a lot of softball 

to be played and the Tri-Valley 

League is tough. We’re taking it 

one game at a time.” 

During the early goings, 

Medway has only found their 

way into the losing column on 

one occasion and sits tied with 

Norton for second place behind 

Hopkinton in the TVL. One of 

the big factors to the Mustangs’ 

success has been two incoming 

freshmen; pitcher Catherin Higgins 

and second baseman Elis 

Cook. The two newcomers have 

elevated Medway’s play to where 

they are contenders in the TVL. 

Higgins, who plays club softball 

at a high level, came in and 

took control of the pitching circle. 

The freshman has already 

recorded 71 strikeouts in 48 innings 

of work while posting a 

miniscule 1.02 ERA. In the batter’s 

box she not only leads her 

team with a .714 average but is 

tops in the league. 

“She is nasty, and hitters are 

finding out the hard way,” Kearney 

said. “She throws around 60 

MPH and has three or four off 

speed pitches she can throw for 

strikes. She has so many strikeouts 

there is no real pressure on

Medway Mustangs softball has had a good season, but after a few 

rough years, is cautiously optimistic about the road to post season 

play. 

the defense.” 

Offensively, Cook bats second 

behind Higgins and is currently 

hitting the ball at a .450 clip; she 

is also the team’s back-up pitcher 

if the Coach ever needs to give 

his ace a rest. 

In addition to the newbies 

propelling the Mustangs to a 

possible tournament berth, Medway 

is also led by its tri-captains 

Shannon McHugh, Kylie Sheehan 

and Ceilidh Higgins. 

McHugh, the only senior 

among the trio, is considered the 

vocal leader. Having been on the 

squad for four years, the senior 

brings a lot of experience to the 

field as well as knowledge, while 

keeping the rest of the team focused. 

Sheehan is a rock behind 

the plate for Medway and is one 

of the smartest athletes on the 

field according to her coach. 

At the plate, she is batting .476, 

leads the team in RBI and the 

league in stolen bases with 7 to 

this point. 

The elder Higgins plays the 

hot corner for the team and was 

Kearney’s number one hurler last 

spring. On the field she is a phenomenal 

defensive athlete and 

with her younger sister throwing 

the ball so well in the circle opposing 

teams look to get on base 

anyway they can, but Higgins 

shuts down the idea of anyone 

bunting. Hitting in the three hole 

she has also contributed some 

clutch hitting for Medway. 

While it certainly looks as 

though Medway could qualify 

for post-season play for the first 

time in five years, Kearney and 

the team are taking nothing for 

granted. 

“It would be great to qualify 

for the first time since I’ve been 

here,” he said. “How far can we 

go if we get there, who knows, 

but it’s one game at a time.”

Millis Spikers Aiming for Successful Tourney Run 

By KEN HAMWEY 

The Millis boys’ volleyball 

team personifies consistency. 

Jay Guinan has coached the 

squad for the last 11 years, and 

during that stretch, the Mohawks 

have qualified for tournament 

play nine times. Last year’s team 

is a typical example of how capable 

and steady Millis has been — 

it posted an 18-2 overall record, 

won the Western Alliance championship, 

then bowed out in the 

playoff quarterfinals to Medfield. 

Boys’ volleyball is the only 

team at Millis that competes in 

Division 1, facing the likes of 

Xaverian, Catholic Memorial, 

St. John’s (Shrewsbury), St. John’s 

Prep of Danvers, Milford, Medfield 

and BC High. Excelling in 

that kind of atmosphere requires 

skill, determination and team 

unity, and it’s those characteristics 

that Guinan believes will propel 

his Mohawks to another solid 

tournament run. So far, Millis 

has a 15-1 record and is leading 

the Western Alliance standings. 

“This year’s group has great 

team chemistry,’’ Guinan said. 

“The boys are very coachable 

and a joy to work with. Our 

other strengths are our size, a 

solid work ethic, experience, talent 

and technique. Two areas of 

concern, however, are depth and 

emotional stability. We’re a small 

school, and our numbers are usually 

limited. We have only nine 

varsity players. Emotional stability 

translates to handling pressure 

situations. It’s a long season, and 

then the playoffs arrive. What’s 

important is how we deal with 

constant pressure.’’ 

Carter Burruss, a senior leftside 

hitter, was an honorable 

mention all-star in the conference 

last year and Guinan rates him 

as one of the best players in the 

area. He’s had colleges recruiting 

him. Burruss is 6-2 and at Local 

Town Pages deadline he led the 

Mohawks in kills with 178. He’s 

also first in digs with 147 and has 

a hitting percentage of .359. 

“Carter is a four-year varsity 

player who’s a very powerful attacker,’’ 

Guinan said. “He’s got 

a huge vertical leap (38 inches), 

he hits and blocks well and plays 

solid defense. He’s an all-around 

prospect who’ll focus on academics 

in college and could easily 

play volleyball.’’ 

Six-foot senior captain Bennett 

Stefanowicz is a right-side 

hitter who leads by example. 

Guinan says he chooses captains 

based on their passion for the 

game and their concern for the 

team and Stefanowicz certainly 

fits that mold. “Bennett has a 

good vertical leap, blocks well 

and is solid on defense,’’ Guinan 

said. “On the court, he’s very 

sharp mentally.’’ 

Guinan lauds left-side hitter 

Adam Caretta, a six-foot senior 

who’s a four-year veteran of the 

program. Caretta has 114 kills 

and 144 digs, both numbers are 

second on the team. His hitting 

percentage is .258. “Adam is very 

focused,’’ Guinan emphasized. 

“He excels in clutch situations. 

He’s also got a very good vertical 

leap, he’s a powerful hitter, plays 

great defense and has good court 

awareness.’’ 

Seniors Caio Almeida and 

Merrill Cushman are middle hitters 

who play key roles. Almeida 

is 6-1 and is the leading blocker 

on the team with 49. He also has 

94 kills. Cushman is six feet and 

is third in digs with 99 and has a 

serve percentage of 93.6. He also 

has 23 blocks. “Caio hits hard, 

is powerful, blocks well and is a 

solid all-around competitor. He’s 

also in great physical shape. Merrill 

is a good blocker, has great 

arm speed, serves solidly and his 

defense is spectacular.’’ 

Senior Bo Calais, a 5-8 setter, 

is the team’s quarterback. He’s in 

his second year as the Mohawks’ 

starting setter. “Bo is a four-year 

player who’s consistent and plays 

a blue-collar game,’’ Guinan 

said. “He’s not flashy, but he 

gets the job done. He’s the fastest 

player on the team, he’s got a 

high volleyball IQ and he’s solid 

on defense, serving and blocking.’’ 

Guinan’s reserves, who get 

playing time, are senior defensive 

specialist Malachy Doyle, junior 

libero Jason Parker, and junior 

middle/right-side hitter Benjamin 

Clark. 

“Malachy is a first-year varsity 

player who’s tenacious, always 

competing with a lot of heart,’’ 

Guinan said. “Jason was on the 

jayvees last year. He’s quick, has 

good hands, serves consistently 

and is very coachable. Benjamin 

has a vertical leap that is out of 

this world. He’s focused, has a 

high volleyball IQ, serves solidly 

and he’s developing a power 

game.’’ 

Before the season got under 

way, Guinan listed four goals for 

his Mohawks: win the conference 

title, be Central Mass. Sectional 

champs, qualify for the state finals, 

and win the state championship. 

The goals are lofty, but 

Guinan says they’re “realistic.’’ 

“We’re strong enough to 

achieve all four,’’ says the 55-yearold 

volleyball coach of 28 years. 

“We’re for real, but we’ve got 

to stay focused and poised. Last 

year’s lost early in the playoffs, 

because it looked beyond the 

next game.’’ 

He’s a venerable coach who’s 

all business, but he also knows 

when to relax and enjoy a lighter 

moment with his team. In assembling 

a roster, he looks for 

passion for the sport, athleticism, 

size, and a coachable nature, and 

players with a character that he 

calls “being nice.’’ 

“My philosophy is to teach 

kids to be prepared and focused,’’ 

says the coach. “If you’re driven 

and prepared, winning will follow. 

Millis boys volleyball has consistently seen tourney play, so Coach 

Guinan’s goals of winning the conference title, sectional champs, 

heading to the state finals and winning the state championship are 

attainable.

Town of Medway Launches 

Fiscal Transparency Center 

Partners with ClearGov to Bring 

Clarity to Government Finances 

The Town of Medway has 

announced that it has partnered 

with ClearGov, a leading municipal 

transparency and benchmarking 

platform, to launch an 

infographic-based fiscal transparency 

center. 

The new tool provides taxpayers 

an easy-to-understand, visual 

breakdown of Medway finances, 

as well as insights into the Town’s 

demographics. The site also informs 

visitors as to how each 

budget item compares to neighboring 

communities. 

The Town is part of a growing 

movement of Massachusetts 

municipalities that are taking 

transparency to a new level on 

ClearGov platform, which also 

showcases basic profiles of every 

municipality in the state. The 

Town has added detailed revenues 

and expenditures breakdowns 

of its General Fund, as 

well as Debt. 

“We are very pleased to introduce 

ClearGov to Medway,” 

said Glenn Trindade, Chair of 

the Board of Selectmen. “The 

Town is constantly trying to 

improve communication and 

increased understanding about 

municipal operations, and this is 

another important step to bringing 

increased transparency to our 

residents,” he said. Medway has 

made this new portal available 

on the homepage of the town’s 

website www.townofmedway.org 

. Visitors to the site can click on 

“Transparent and Open Government” 

on the bottom of the 

homepage to get to Medway’s 

ClearGov page. 

ClearGov sources publicly 

available financial data on municipalities 

to create easy-to-understand 

transparency websites 

for thousands of municipalities 

across the United States, which 

are made available to the public 

for free. Medway has chosen to 

upgrade and enhance our publicly 

available transparency site 

with more robust information 

and to provide context through 

commentary on the figures.

Register O’Donnell Warns 

Homeowners About Deed Scam 

Continuing his efforts to combat 

consumer fraud, Norfolk 

County Register of Deeds William 

P. O’Donnell today advised 

Norfolk County residents to disregard 

a direct-mail solicitation 

offering them a certified copy of 

their property deed for an outrageous 

fee of anywhere from 

$59.50-$83. 

Register O’Donnell stated, 

“Today, there is a California 

company that is sending a directmail 

solicitations to unsuspecting 

homeowners asking them to 

send a check for $83 in order to 

receive a copy of their deed. If a 

consumer knew that the Registry 

of Deeds would provide them the 

same certified copy of a property 

deed for a charge of only $1 per 

page, plus an additional $1 for 

postage, they would never agree 

to pay such an outrageous fee for 

service. The average price for a 

mailed homeowner’s deed by 

the Registry (usually two pages) 

is $3.” 

“These solicitations,” noted 

O’Donnell, “are labeled Recorded 

Deed Notice and request 

that the homeowner forward a 

check in the amount of $83 for a 

copy of their deed. The Registry 

has been contacted by many who 

have received this solicitation. Do 

not fall for this scam.” 

Register O’Donnell concluded, 

“While the practice may 

be legal, it’s certainly not ethical.” 

If you receive such a deed solicitation 

notice, please contact 

the Registry’s Customer Service 

Center immediately at (781) 

461-6101 or by email at registerodonnell@norfolkdeeds.org. 

Additionally, if you desire a copy 

of your own deed, also contact 

the Registry’s Customer Service 

Center and we will be glad to 

provide you with one for a nominal 

fee of usually $2-$3.
