“Autism Eats” Comes to <strong>Medway</strong><br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
If you’re a parent who’s experienced<br />
the joy of a child<br />
melting down in a public place,<br />
you may feel it’s not an experience<br />
you’re willing to repeat.<br />
For many parents with children<br />
who have autism, this experience<br />
has happened so often that they<br />
avoid taking their families out<br />
to eat, an experience many miss<br />
having. “Autism Eats” is a Massachusetts<br />
based nonprofit that<br />
aims to solve this dilemma. The<br />
group organizes autism-friendly<br />
dinners at locations throughout<br />
the state. Recently, on May<br />
23rd, the group got together for<br />
a great dinner at Restaurant 45,<br />
in <strong>Medway</strong>. The family-friendly<br />
night, which took place right in<br />
the general restaurant area of the<br />
restaurant rather than in a banquet<br />
hall, for a feel typical of a<br />
family night out, even included a<br />
visit from New England Revolution’s<br />
mascot, Slyde.<br />
Lenard Zohn is one of the<br />
founders of Autism Eats.<br />
“I am an ‘autism father,’” says<br />
Zohn. “We were always a family<br />
who loved going out to dinner,<br />
being with friends, being with<br />
community, but my son Adin,<br />
who is now 12, did not share<br />
this love as much as we did. For<br />
people with autism, a restaurant<br />
can exasperate a lot of issues,<br />
with fluorescent lighting, loud<br />
music, and the kids don’t want to<br />
wait, don’t want to be seated, and<br />
there may not be any food the<br />
On Tuesday, May 23, Autism Eats, a group that organizes autismfriendly<br />
restaurant experiences for families, enjoyed a dinner out at<br />
Restaurant 45, complete with the New England Revolution’s mascot,<br />
Slyde.<br />
like. He would flop on the floor,<br />
run around or play his iPad too<br />
loudly. We got to the point where<br />
any enjoyment we had going out<br />
to dinner was (gone) due to the<br />
stress we felt.”<br />
The Zohns, who also have<br />
a now 14-year-old daughter,<br />
started going out less and less.<br />
“My wife, Delphine, said,<br />
‘We’re not the only autism family<br />
out there and not the only family<br />
that misses something typical and<br />
enjoyable.’ We knew what things<br />
didn’t work (at a restaurant), and<br />
we felt if we could take what<br />
didn’t work and do the opposite<br />
and modify it, we could make<br />
what did work (for autism families).”<br />
In February of 2013, Autism<br />
Eats held its first dinner in the<br />
Zohn’s community of Andover.<br />
“We met in our school and<br />
told them what we were doing,<br />
and we found a local restaurant<br />
I thought would fit the bill in<br />
terms of layout and attitude of<br />
the management,” says Zohn.<br />
“We weren’t really sure how<br />
many people were going to show<br />
up. We estimated 30 people, but<br />
by the time of the event, we had<br />
110 people join us from all over<br />
the state, some driving up to two<br />
hours each way, and they gave<br />
us the whole restaurant. And it<br />
was fantastic; everyone just had a<br />
great time, including us.”<br />
A night out with Autism Eats<br />
will provide a nonjudgmental<br />
environment. All behaviors, says<br />
Zohn, are welcome.<br />
“You’re amongst people and<br />
families that are all experiencing<br />
the same things. You don’t have<br />
to say anything or apologize. It’s<br />
an opportunity to relax, enjoy<br />
and meet some other people, and<br />
put the Autism on the shelf for a<br />
couple of hours.”<br />

Zohn says autistic children<br />
who’ve attended have been<br />
calmer than he have imagined.<br />
“There have been no real<br />
meltdowns,” he says, “Of course,<br />
kids don’t necessarily sit the<br />
whole night, but in a lot of ways,<br />
it looks typical of a whole lot of<br />
families.”<br />
Restaurants are screened in<br />
advance to make sure they have<br />

ated with a national group, Action<br />
Together Network (ATN). According<br />
to that group’s web site, ATN<br />
is “a volunteer-run support and<br />
resource provider for the growing<br />
resistance movement in the United<br />
States. “<br />
Expecting to find the event still<br />
going on, Action Together demonstrators,<br />
about 15 in total, at least<br />
one from as far away as Rehoboth,<br />
assembled in front of the VFW<br />
around 6:30 PM, occasionally<br />
chanting slogans such as “Immigrants<br />
are welcome here.” People<br />
who were unaware of the cancellation,<br />
arrived and congregated in<br />
the parking log. One individual,<br />
who declined to provide his name,<br />
walked up and tried the door of<br />
the building, only to be told of the<br />
cancellation. “I’m an immigrant<br />
myself and I was really looking forward<br />
to hearing what the speaker<br />
had to say,” he explained. “It is too<br />
bad people aren’t more tolerant, I<br />
hope it is rescheduled,” he added.<br />
It is unclear whether that will<br />
happen. “We wanted to shut it<br />
down; we don’t want hate and<br />
we don’t want our kids exposed<br />
to this,” said Kim Thibeault from<br />
<strong>Medway</strong>, who said she helped organize<br />
the demonstration. “It’s not<br />
a political thing of Democrats or<br />
Republicans, we just want to stop<br />
hate,” she added. Stephanie Roberts,<br />
also from <strong>Medway</strong>, agreed.<br />
“CIS is a hate group; their blogs<br />
try to make immigrants look like<br />
criminals,” she said.<br />
According to the CIS web site,<br />
the organization is run by “a diverse<br />
board of directors that has<br />
included active and retired university<br />
professors, civil rights leaders,<br />
and former government officials,”<br />
with research funded by contributions<br />
from individuals, government<br />
agencies such as the U.S. Census<br />
Bureau and Justice Department,<br />
and foundations. Vaughan, a local<br />
resident, has testified before Congress<br />
and the National Press Club<br />
and has made frequent appearances<br />
on local and national news<br />
outlets, including both MSNBC<br />
and Fox News. She is a former<br />
member of the State Department<br />
diplomatic corps.<br />
However, according to Roberts,<br />
the Southern Poverty Law Center,<br />
a non-profit with an endowment<br />
of more than $300 million that<br />
focuses on civil rights, has determined<br />
that CIS is one of a number<br />
of groups founded by a “white<br />
nationalist” that believes in genetics<br />
and “their most quiet group” is<br />
CIS. That’s the point of my sign,<br />
she explained, pointing to a placard<br />
that read: “Your fancy words<br />
don’t fool me CIS you’re spewing<br />
hate.” But the SPLC is not without<br />
some critics of its own. Writing<br />
in the Weekly Standard in 2014,<br />
Charlotte Allen noted, “ the SPLC<br />
started out fighting legal battles<br />
against lingering segregation in<br />
the South. More recently—and<br />
more lucratively, its critics say—it<br />
has transformed itself into an allpurpose<br />
antihate crusader, labeling<br />
1,007 different organizations<br />
across America at last count as<br />
“anti-gay,” “white nationalist,”<br />
“anti-Muslim,” “anti-immigrant,”<br />
or just plain “hateful…”<br />
“It is a missed opportunity for<br />
area residents,” said Gianotti.<br />
“There has been a lot of miscommunication<br />
across the Internet<br />
and this was a chance for people<br />
to hear and have a dialog with a<br />
leading expert on immigration<br />
policy. Instead of just picking up<br />
headlines, they would have had a<br />
chance to dig deep and ask questions.<br />
We just wanted an open and<br />
respectful dialog,” he said.<br />
Gianotti said he hopes the<br />
event will be rescheduled. “This<br />
has gone way beyond the issue of<br />
immigration, this is now about the<br />
right to free speech and assembly,”<br />
he said. “The night of the event<br />
and over the next two days, I had<br />
dozens of calls asking what had<br />
happened and wanting to know<br />
when it would be rescheduled,” he<br />
added.<br />

Expands Commitment to Community and<br />

Milford, MA. —WMRC-<br />
First Class Radio has just<br />
launched a new FM radio station,<br />
My FM 101.3, to serve<br />
the Greater Milford area. The<br />
FM frequency will provide a<br />
stronger signal, larger coverage<br />
area, and will remain at full<br />
power throughout the evening<br />
and overnight. The multimedia<br />
company will be re-branded as<br />
My FM Media. It will include<br />
radio stations MyFM 101.3 and<br />
WMRC 1490 AM; programming<br />
website www.myfm1013.<br />
com, marketing website at www.<br />
MyFMMedia.com; and mobile<br />
device app “MyFM 101.3 Live”<br />
for live streaming worldwide.<br />
“Traditional radio is as strong<br />
as ever, with a weekly reach of<br />
93%, and with these new media<br />
platforms, we can inform, engage,<br />
and entertain more people<br />
than ever before, more often<br />
than ever before and in more<br />
ways than ever before” said President<br />
Tom McAuliffe II. “We<br />
understand that people expect<br />
to access what they want, where<br />
they want, when they want it.<br />
The new FM radio station and<br />
mobile device app allow us to<br />
continue to serve our region in<br />
today’s rapidly changing world.”<br />
WMRC has long been known<br />
for its commitment to the community.<br />
From covering breaking<br />
news and weather, to tirelessly<br />
fundraising for local charities<br />
and organizations, the station<br />
has been recognized for its commitment<br />
by winning Station of<br />
the Year in Massachusetts in<br />
three of the last five years from<br />
the Massachusetts Broadcasters<br />
Association. “We recognize the<br />
responsibility and embrace the<br />
opportunity we have as a local<br />
broadcaster, and we’re grateful<br />
to leverage the power of localism<br />
to make a difference in the communities<br />
we serve. Our new FM<br />
signal will only enhance this effort.”<br />
said McAuliffe II.<br />
Established in 1956, WMRC-<br />
First Class Radio is one of the<br />
oldest locally owned and operated<br />
broadcast stations in Massachusetts.<br />
The company was<br />
purchased in 1990 by Tom<br />
McAuliffe, Sr. who was committed<br />
to the philosophy that a<br />
strong local radio station makes<br />
a strong connection to the community.<br />
His son, Tom McAuliffe<br />
II, took over as President in 2008<br />
making the radio station the area’s<br />
first choice for local news,<br />
weather, sports, traffic and community<br />
events.<br />

understand what the group is trying<br />
to do. “We want them to be<br />
excited about it, to feel they have<br />
an opportunity to give back to<br />
the community and create a fun<br />
night for all of us. And we bring<br />
them business on a slow night.”<br />
“I think it’s a wonderful organization,”<br />
says Dawn Lloyd,<br />
mother of three from Franklin<br />
who chose Restaurant 45 for the<br />
May dinner, the second one she’s<br />
organized for the group. “It can<br />
be difficult when you have a child<br />
that’s on the spectrum, particularly<br />
when you have to go into<br />
public places. They may not behave<br />
in a manner other patrons<br />
find acceptable. In my household,<br />
that may look like loud outbursts<br />
or not staying seated or keeping<br />
an appropriate volume of voice,<br />
but autism looks different for everyone.<br />
Going to an Autism Eats<br />
dinner literally feels like going to<br />
a restaurant and takes the weight<br />
New England<br />
off our shoulders.”<br />
Lloyd, who has two children<br />
on the spectrum, adds, “I can<br />
breathe. I don’t have to anticipate<br />
every move they are going<br />
to make, when are they going to<br />
yell, are there going to be tomato<br />
chunks on the pizza, is it going to<br />
be stressful? And you don’t have<br />
to wait, which can literally be the<br />
hardest part.” (Autism Eats dinners<br />
are served buffet-style.)<br />
In addition, the Zohns hand<br />
out a sensory toy at each dinner<br />
for every child, not just children<br />
on the spectrum, and children<br />
are free to get up and leave the<br />
table when they’re done, she says.<br />
“It’s really pretty awesome,” she<br />
says.<br />
Since that first dinner, Autism<br />
Eats has held 35 dinners in 12<br />
states.<br />
“We’re thrilled with the success<br />
of it,” says Zohn. “We’re<br />
adding a new community and<br />
new states almost monthly.”<br />

Celebrating Arbor Day at Clyde Brown Elementary<br />
Local tree companies, Harrison<br />
McPhee, Inc. (HMI) and<br />
ArborOne, Inc. teamed up to<br />
celebrate Arbor Day with 3rd<br />
grade students at Clyde Brown<br />
Elementary School in <strong>Millis</strong>.<br />
Students participated in interactive<br />
learning stations that<br />
included climbing demonstrations,<br />
tree biology, landscape<br />
design, planting techniques, and<br />
gypsy moth identification. “We<br />
are passionate about what we do,<br />
and we want to instill that love of<br />
the outdoors in our communities’<br />
youth. Celebrating Arbor Day<br />
with them is one way to demonstrate<br />
how that love translated<br />
into a rewarding career path for<br />
each of our team members”, said<br />
Scott McPhee, MCA of Harrison<br />
McPhee, Inc..<br />
“I loved how fast the arborist<br />
could climb into the tree without<br />
even touching a branch. He<br />
wrapped his foot around the rope<br />
and just zipped up the tree like<br />
he was in the circus!” said one<br />
excited student who had never<br />
seen the art of foot locking - an<br />
original technique for climbers.<br />
Students then had the chance<br />
to try their hand at holding their<br />
weight on the rope, to see just<br />
how challenging it is to be an Industrial<br />
Athlete.<br />
If climbing or biology didn’t<br />
appeal to someone, there’s a good<br />
chance that the landscape design<br />
challenge did. Karen Kerr, the<br />
HMI landscape designer, presented<br />
a crash course in how she<br />
chooses and arranges plants on a<br />
property. Each student was given<br />
a sketch of the HMI building<br />
and was challenged to come up<br />
with a design. HMI is going to<br />
choose a winner, who will work<br />
with Karen to finalize the HMI<br />
landscape. And since the building<br />
is right across from The Black<br />
Cow on Main Street, the winner<br />
just might be treated to an ice<br />
cream, too!<br />
To accommodate the immersion<br />
classes, one learning station<br />
was presented entirely in Spanish,<br />
and focused on specialized<br />
safety gear for arborists. The students<br />
walked away with a whole<br />
new list of vocabulary words that<br />
could serve as the basis for an upcoming<br />
ecology test!<br />
Activities concluded with a<br />
brief talk about the history of<br />
Arbor Day, white pine saplings<br />
to plant with their families, and<br />
their own Arbor Day t-shirt.<br />
“We are thrilled that these two<br />
local companies took the time to<br />
share the day with us. The students<br />
learned so much about the<br />
ways they can contribute to the<br />
growing needs of our planet.”<br />
stated Mrs. Mellin, 3rd grade<br />
teacher and avid supporter of<br />
environmental awareness. “We<br />
would love to make this visit part<br />

The Lanterns at Warren Woods<br />
Where contemporary living meets style and convenience<br />
By Deborah Burke Henderson,<br />
Contributing Writer<br />
Where does desirable singlefamily<br />
home living meet the<br />
convenience of condominium<br />
ownership? They meet at The<br />
Lanterns at Warren Woods, Ashland’s<br />
most vibrant 55+ residential<br />
living environment nestled<br />
alongside 40 acres of beautiful,<br />
protected open space and across<br />
from the expansive Ashland Reservoir<br />
and the 120-acre Warren<br />
Woods on Chestnut Street.<br />
Whether you’re an empty<br />
nester, single professional or<br />
someone seeking the enjoyment<br />
of retirement years, treat yourself<br />
to a tour of the three village<br />
home concepts at Five Fern<br />
Crossing that are being developed<br />
by The Green Company.<br />
“The Lanterns is the only 55<br />
plus condominium community<br />
in Metrowest with 100 percent<br />
detached homes,” Sales Director<br />
Judy Jennings said. “These 93<br />
homes will have first floor masters,<br />
front porches and rear decks<br />
or patios, and a beautiful central<br />
meeting house and outdoor pool<br />
are slated for construction this<br />
summer.”<br />
“We try to make things as<br />
easy as possible for the home<br />
buyer,” Dominique Sampson,<br />
vice president of sales and marketing,<br />
added. “We walk through<br />
the homes room by room so the<br />
owner-to-be can decide everything<br />
from the finish and height<br />
of the kitchen cabinets to carpeting<br />
style and color to standard or<br />
upgraded appliances. Judy has<br />
a long checklist of items she reviews<br />
with each buyer to ensure<br />
their new home is personalized<br />
just for them.”<br />
Prospective buyers meet with<br />
home coordinator, Joan Karol,<br />
three or four times for a half-day<br />
each to select the flooring, cabinetry,<br />
countertops, appliances<br />
and faucets for their new home.<br />
The Green Company is working<br />
with top-notch industry leaders<br />
General Electric, Kohler and<br />
Mohawk, and buyers are encouraged<br />
to visit the area stonework<br />
vendor to sign off on their granite<br />
slabs prior to installation.<br />
Currently, The Green Company<br />
is offering a $20,000 personalization<br />
allowance for each<br />

buyer. If the home is finished,<br />
the allowance may be put toward<br />
final items the owner wants<br />
to select to further enhance their<br />
future home.<br />
“We’ll always offer some type<br />
of personalization account,”<br />
Sampson added, “but there’s no<br />
guarantee about timing for the<br />
current offer, so we encourage<br />
folks to come and visit The Lanterns<br />
to make a more informed<br />
decision as to whether this is<br />
the right living environment for<br />
them.”<br />
According to Sampson, initial<br />
customer feedback during early<br />
tours was taken to heart about<br />
the largest model’s footprint. A<br />
few key changes are now being<br />
incorporated at Village 3 to provide<br />
an even more spacious and<br />
airier feel to the open-concept<br />
living area.<br />

DAM REPAIRS<br />
During the past holiday season,<br />
this 1958-square foot model<br />
at The Lanterns comfortably<br />
held a gathering of approximately<br />
50 people.<br />
Since the homes are built on<br />
slab construction, each of the<br />
three residence styles offers additional<br />
unfinished “flex” space<br />
upstairs. This fully-insulated<br />
area may be finished to serve<br />
as another room or left as is<br />
for storage space which can be<br />
heated or air conditioned, if<br />
desired. The Village 3 model,<br />
for example, has an extra 500<br />
square feet upstairs. Although<br />
this now serves as the development<br />
company’s conference<br />
room, it gives any buyer a good<br />
idea of how the space could be<br />
used.<br />
The condominium fee covers<br />
both condominium amenities<br />
and association expenses including<br />
maintenance of common<br />

Macular Degeneration Supplements<br />
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,<br />
Milford Franklin Eye Center<br />
Age-related macular degeneration<br />
(AMD) is a deterioration or<br />
breakdown of the eye’s macula.<br />
The macula is a small area in the<br />
retina that is responsible for your<br />
central vision, allowing you to see<br />
fine details clearly. There are two<br />
main types of age-related macular<br />
degeneration: The “dry”<br />
form of macular degeneration<br />
is characterized by the presence<br />
of yellow deposits, called drusen,<br />
in the macula. The “wet” form<br />
is caused by the growth of abnormal<br />
blood vessels from the<br />
choroid underneath the macula.<br />
Those can leak blood and fluid<br />
into the retina, causing distortion<br />
of vision.<br />
If you have an advanced form<br />
of macular degeneration, you<br />
are probably taking vitamins and<br />
antioxidants supplements to help<br />
slow down the progression of<br />
this disease. More than a decade<br />
after the first Age Related Eye<br />
Disease Study (AREDS) showed<br />
that taking daily high doses of<br />
vitamins C and E, beta-carotene,<br />
zinc and copper can slow down<br />
the progress of AMD, a second<br />
study (AREDS 2) has revealed<br />
that adding certain antioxidants<br />
to the original formula does not<br />
provide any extra benefit to patients.<br />
Advanced AMD can lead to<br />
significant vision loss, and in the<br />
United States it is the leading<br />
cause of blindness. About 2 million<br />
Americans have advanced<br />
AMD; another 8 million are at<br />
risk.<br />
The first AREDS study was<br />
conducted by the National<br />
Eye Institute and concluded in<br />
2001. It showed that the original<br />
AREDS formula can reduce patients’<br />
risk of the advanced form<br />
of AMD by about 25%. The<br />
formula helps protect people’s<br />
central vision, which is needed<br />
for reading, driving, recognizing<br />
faces and other daily activities.<br />
AREDS 2, which concluded<br />
in 2011, tested several antioxidant<br />
nutrients that earlier<br />
research had suggested might<br />
protect the eyes: lutein, zeaxanthin,<br />
and omega-3 fatty acids.<br />
Omega-3 fatty acids are produced<br />
by plants and are present<br />
in oily fish such as salmon. Lutein<br />
and zeaxanthin are carotenoids,<br />
a class of plant-derived vitamins<br />
that also includes beta-carotene,<br />
and are present in leafy green<br />
vegetables. The body uses these<br />
nutrients to maintain the health<br />
of the retina, the part of the eye<br />
that can be damaged by AMD.<br />
Participants in AREDS2 were<br />
assigned to take one of four different<br />
AREDS formulas daily for<br />
five years.<br />
The AREDS 2 research team<br />
did find that two patient subgroups<br />
benefited from taking<br />
variants of the original AREDS<br />
formula. The risk of developing<br />
advanced AMD was reduced by<br />
about 18% in study participants<br />
who took the variant that included<br />
lutein and zeaxanthin but<br />
no beta-carotene, compared with<br />
participants who took the variant<br />
that had beta-carotene but no<br />
lutein or zeaxanthin. And those<br />
participants whose diets were low<br />
in lutein and zeaxanthin at the<br />
start of the study, but who took<br />
a variant with lutein and zeaxanthin<br />
during the study, were<br />
about 25% less likely to develop<br />
advanced AMD, compared with<br />
similar participants who did not<br />
take lutein and zeaxanthin.<br />
The researchers say that removing<br />
beta-carotene from the<br />
AREDS formula and adding lutein<br />
and zeaxanthin will result in<br />
a single formula that is safe and<br />
effective for all AMD patients.<br />
Until now, people who were current<br />
or former smokers could<br />
only use a formula that excluded<br />
beta-carotene, because it had<br />
been linked to risk of lung cancer<br />
for these patients. About half<br />
of AREDS 2 participants were<br />
former smokers.<br />
Another recent AREDS report<br />
showed that the benefits of<br />
taking the AREDS formula appear<br />
to be long-lasting. Participants<br />
in the first AREDS study<br />
who took the original formula<br />
daily for five years continue to<br />
enjoy a 25 percent lower risk<br />
of developing advanced AMD.<br />
Most report that they are still taking<br />
the supplement.<br />
How about if I do not have<br />
AMD or an early stage of this<br />
disease? Should I take these<br />
supplements anyway? There’s<br />
no evidence the supplements<br />
help the vision of healthy adults<br />
or people with earlier stages of<br />
AMD. The best advice for most<br />

Among the offerings of the<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Makerspace:<br />
• A green screen, television<br />
and lighting to go with green<br />
screen and <strong>Medway</strong> Cable<br />
Access will be donating cameras<br />
when they get their new<br />
cameras.<br />
• Knitting machine: donated<br />
by one of the librarians.<br />
• Several sewing machines,<br />
with sewing tools such as<br />
scissors, an iron, two ironing<br />
boards and a whole wall of<br />
clean, donated material to<br />
use.<br />
• A 3D printer<br />
• A Converter for transferring<br />
slides, photos and negatives<br />
into digital format<br />
• A bigger photo scanner<br />
• Two converters for transferring<br />
VHS to DVD<br />
• A number of workstations<br />
that have such software as<br />
CAD, Adobe Acrobat Pro,<br />
Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop,<br />
Final Cut Pro, Garage<br />
Band, Logic Pro X,<br />
Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk<br />
R, to name a few<br />
• Tools, such as soldering<br />
irons, electronics items, two<br />
regulated power suppliers, a<br />
sander, hammer, screwdrivers,<br />
drills and more<br />
• An incubator and a heating<br />
plate that 4H and others<br />
used to observe hatching<br />
eggs and subsequent baby<br />
chicks. In fact, the Embryology<br />
Club will start up again<br />
on <strong>June</strong> 8th, a 4H impact<br />
club in which anyone can<br />
join in the fun.<br />
“The town of <strong>Medway</strong> gave<br />
$50K to do the construction of<br />
the room, and then the <strong>Medway</strong><br />
Cable Access donated the tech<br />
side,” says Busa. The craft features,<br />
she says, were all donated<br />
by patrons of the library, and the<br />
Friends of <strong>Medway</strong> Library sets<br />
aside a block of money each year<br />
to help pay for supplies. A great<br />
big help, says Busa, was <strong>Medway</strong><br />
DPS.<br />
“The DPS was great. They<br />
had some fantastic ideas,” says<br />
Perkins.<br />
“(<strong>Medway</strong> DPS) built this<br />
place. They owned it, gave us<br />
some great suggestions. They<br />
really felt like it was their baby.<br />
They still do,” says Busa. “They<br />
come in here and they’re always<br />
painting something or improving<br />
something.”<br />
Overall, the Makerspace was<br />
quite a feat, says Perkins. The<br />
end result, she says, fits “right in<br />
with our mission of providing educational<br />
opportunities and new<br />
and creative options for people to<br />
use and things to learn about. It<br />
allows people to come together,<br />
so it’s a nice extension. It’s not<br />
separate from our library, but an<br />
important part.”<br />

Dean College Holds<br />
151st Commencement,<br />
May 6, <strong>2017</strong><br />
Dean College held its 151st<br />
Commencement exercises<br />
on Saturday, May 6, <strong>2017</strong><br />
at the Dean College campus in<br />
Franklin, Mass. Over 350 students<br />
received their degrees, with a large<br />
number of family and friends in attendance.<br />
Continuing with tradition,<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> Commencement ceremony was held<br />
outside along Awpie Way, considered by many as the most<br />
beautiful and iconic part of campus.<br />
The keynote address was provided by Dean College<br />
Presi- dent, Dr. Paula M. Rooney, who encouraged students to<br />
never waiver from their dreams. “I hope you will take the insights,<br />
experiences, relationships and tools gained here – your can-do attitude<br />
and strong work ethic – in effect, your personal definition<br />
of The Dean Difference – to reach your dreams and, as Bulldogs,<br />
never settle and never lose sight of those dreams.” She reminded<br />
students that, “The Dean Difference doesn’t end as you exit with<br />
your diploma and begin your next chapter. I ask that you nurture<br />
that Difference.”<br />
Additional remarks were provided by Mark D. Boyce, Chairman<br />
of the Dean College Board of Trustees, along with two graduating<br />
students, Karen Laven from <strong>Medway</strong>, MA and Valerie Davis from<br />
Brewster, NY.<br />

<strong>Medway</strong> Residents Solid Waste & Recycling Service Changes Beginning July 1, <strong>2017</strong><br />
In an effort to avoid significant cost increases in our solid waste program<br />
beginning July 1st, the Town has developed the following changes<br />
to the program. These changes are developed with our residential<br />
customers in mind, specifically holding our program fee and yellow bag<br />
costs steady (no increases) again into Fiscal Year 2018.<br />
SPECIAL ITEMS (also known as “White Goods”)<br />
Early estimates of the special items program for Fiscal Year 2018<br />
indicated a cost increase to the Town in excess of $95,000. This estimate<br />
was based upon the over utilization of the original intent of the Special<br />
Items program in recent years and the disproportionate rate of usage<br />
as compared to other communities. However, the Board of Selectmen<br />
remains committed to keeping a program in place where the special<br />
items listed below can still be collected curbside, but with minor<br />
changes made effective July 1st. Only those special Items that listed<br />
below are allowed under this program:<br />
• Refrigerator • Dryer<br />
• Dishwasher<br />
• Compactor<br />
• Stove<br />
• Air Conditioner<br />
• Washing Machine • Water Heater<br />
Effective July 1st, residential curbside customers will be permitted to<br />
request pickups of any of these Special Items up to four (4) times per<br />
year subject to a maximum of eight (8) items per year.<br />
PLEASE NOTE that the changes to Special Item pick-ups do not affect<br />
regular bulk trash items such as furniture, mattresses, rugs, etc. You<br />
may continue to leave one bulk trash item with your yellow bag(s) per<br />
week free of charge.<br />
TELEVISIONS, MONITORS, & LARGE METAL ITEMS<br />
Per State Law, televisions, computer monitors, and large metal items<br />
cannot be disposed of as trash. Beginning July 1st, the Recycling Center<br />
will feature an additional drop off site for televisions and monitors,<br />
again, free of charge. A metal dumpster is also available for large metal<br />
items at no cost. All other electronic items and small appliances may be<br />
disposed of in your yellow bags.<br />
BLUE RECYCLE CARTS<br />
The cost to <strong>Medway</strong> to service each blue recycle cart is approximately<br />
$84 per year, per cart, whether or not it is fully used each week. Our<br />
review indicates that very few households actually use more than<br />
one blue recycle cart on a regular basis. As such, and in an effort to<br />
keep costs in line for the vast majority of our customers, the Town will<br />
begin to recover a portion of the annual blue recycle cart costs for all<br />
additional carts beyond the one free cart per household. Effective July<br />
1st, that charge for additional recycle carts will be $50 per cart per year.<br />
If you wish to discontinue your use of additional recycle carts, please<br />
contact our DPS Office and it/they will be retrieved from you.<br />

<strong>Medway</strong> Boy Scouts<br />
Summer Food Drive <strong>June</strong> 17<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Boy Scout Troop<br />
#367 will be holding its “Scouting<br />
for Food - Summer Stock-<br />
Up!” food drive on Saturday,<br />
<strong>June</strong> 17, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at<br />
Shaw’s in <strong>Medway</strong>. The drive<br />
will benefit the <strong>Medway</strong> Village<br />
Food pantry supporting local<br />
families & individuals in need.<br />
While food drives are common in<br />
the fall and around the holidays,<br />
this will be the first of its kind to<br />
stock up the pantry for the lean<br />
summer months when many donors<br />
are away.<br />
“We have always talked about<br />
how donations drop off at the<br />
food pantry during the summer<br />
months, yet the needs of families<br />
and individuals utilizing the<br />
pantry stay the same. In some<br />
instances, families face an even<br />
greater challenge during the<br />
summer months without the<br />
benefit of school lunches. We decided<br />
to raise awareness & help<br />
the food pantry stock-up before<br />
the summer,” says Sharon Ross,<br />
Boy Scout Troop 367 volunteer.<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Cub Scout Pack<br />
#748 has been holding an annual<br />
“Scouting for Food!” in<br />
November for the last six years<br />
at Shaw’s. Boy Scout Troop<br />
#367 has always assisted with<br />
that event and volunteered at the<br />
food pantry’s Thanksgiving and<br />
Christmas distributions. This<br />
is the first year that Boy Scout<br />
Troop #367 will hold a “Summer<br />
Stock-Up” food drive, an<br />
event it hopes to continue each<br />
year.<br />
“<strong>Medway</strong> has always been<br />
such an amazing community<br />
donating over 2,000 items at the<br />
holiday drives, so we hope to<br />
replicate this on <strong>June</strong> 17th!” says<br />
Ross.<br />
<strong>Medway</strong><br />
Boy Scout<br />
Troop 367<br />
is currently<br />
made up of<br />
46 Scouts,<br />
grades 5-12.<br />
This summer, when needy families have the additional challenge of no<br />
school lunch, <strong>Medway</strong> Boy Scout Troop 367 will try to stock <strong>Medway</strong><br />
Village Food Pantry’s shelves for the summer with a food drive on <strong>June</strong><br />
17 at Shaw’s in <strong>Medway</strong>. Photo courtesy of <strong>Medway</strong> BS Troop 367<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> LEO Alyssa Smith Named<br />
Massachusetts LEO of the Year<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
On May 6th, <strong>Millis</strong> High<br />
School junior Alyssa Smith was<br />
named Massachusetts LEO of<br />
the Year.<br />
“Our district of LEOs and<br />
Lions consists of a number of<br />
towns,” says Mark Caulfield,<br />
member of the <strong>Millis</strong> Lions<br />
Club, <strong>Millis</strong> High School teacher<br />
and advisor to the <strong>Millis</strong> High<br />
School LEOs. “I chose to nominate<br />
Allie, just because of all the<br />
service she does. She volunteers<br />
for just about everything,” says<br />
Caulfield, who describes the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
LEOs, who number about 70<br />
students, as still “in its infancy” in<br />
its third year.<br />
The LEOS club gives the kids<br />
the opportunity to work together<br />
with Lions and other adults in<br />
their community to give back to<br />
their community in which they’ve<br />
grown up,” says Debbie Hayes,<br />
of the <strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club. “When<br />
we first started this program, our<br />
hope was we were going to get 20<br />
kids in the high school to join. We<br />
were thrilled to get over 50. You<br />
have an amazing group of kids<br />
working with an amazing group<br />
of adults giving everything they<br />
have back to the community.”<br />
The term LEO is an acronym<br />
for “Leadership, Opportunity<br />
and Excellence.” The <strong>Millis</strong><br />
group will celebrate three years<br />
in December. Hayes says the<br />
LEOS program is designed to<br />
teach leadership, public speaking,<br />
organizational and financial<br />
skills.<br />
“In truth, the LEOS is supposed<br />
to be a conduit for the<br />
Lions Club,” says Hayes. Hopes<br />
are that these young volunteers<br />
will take enough from their experience<br />
of giving back to want<br />
to continue that into adulthood.<br />
“They gain this great sense of<br />
self-esteem, because they’re<br />
heading projects and gaining<br />
leadership skills they can use<br />
when they go to college. Now<br />
you’re talking about future leaders<br />
in your community.”<br />
“It has been great for our<br />
school,” says Caulfield. “We can<br />
always do more, and I think, as<br />
a club, we’re trying to come up<br />
with new ideas and different<br />
ways the kids can volunteer in the<br />
community. The kids are eager to<br />
participate, both with their own<br />
events, as well as those for the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Recreation Department or<br />
the Lions Club.”<br />
Some of the events the LEOs<br />
have worked on include an annual<br />
senior citizens’ dinner,<br />
hosted by the Lions, a Trickor-Treat-So-Families-Can-Eat<br />
event, babysitting for the Clyde<br />
Brown back-to-school 5K, setting<br />
up for the Warren Jordan Scholarship<br />
auction, helping the Lions<br />
raise money for the Fisher House<br />
with a field of flags, and working<br />
on a Lions centennial legacy<br />
project of revamping the animal<br />

shelter at the <strong>Millis</strong> Transfer Station,<br />
an event that took place on<br />
May 20th.<br />
“I found it really eye opening,<br />
all the things we can do to help<br />
the community,” says Smith, who<br />
is impressed by how far the teens’<br />
help goes and by the appreciation<br />
she feels from the community.<br />
She was particularly struck, she<br />
says, when she helped work on<br />
a holiday brunch for Lions Club<br />
members who are senior citizens.<br />
“They tell us stories,” says<br />
Smith, the current LEOs Vice<br />
Secretary, “about when they were<br />
younger and how they wanted to<br />
participate in the community.<br />
Their stories are the same as<br />
ours, about how the things we do<br />
go so far, and how it’s so important<br />
that the younger generations<br />
come up. All the appreciation<br />
that people give you is so inspiring.<br />
You don’t realize how much<br />
people need it until you actually<br />
help out.”<br />

Tri-County Awarded Grant from<br />
Silvio Cella Family Foundation<br />
Tri-County Regional Vocational<br />
Technical High School<br />
has been chosen as one of four<br />
regional <strong>2017</strong> recipients of the<br />
Silvio Cella Family Foundation<br />
grant. The grant program<br />
provides high school football<br />
teams in Massachusetts funding<br />
to help improve playing conditions,<br />
increase player safety and<br />
participation, purchase needed<br />
equipment, and build teamwork,<br />
pride and confidence.<br />
Annually, four high school<br />
football programs are selected<br />
to each receive a $3,000 grant to<br />
be used to support their football<br />
programs, per MIAA (Massachusetts<br />
Interscholastic Athletic<br />
Association) guidelines. Three<br />
Tri-County Football team players,<br />
Juniors Robert Fryar and<br />
William Silver both of Plainville<br />
and Zack Spencer of Walpole,<br />
as well as Head Coach Anthony<br />
Mazzola, were presented with<br />
the award. Other <strong>2017</strong> recipients<br />
of the Silvio Cella Family Foundation<br />
grants included Tech Boston<br />
Academy, Worcester North<br />
High and Holyoke High School.<br />
“The Silvio Cella Family<br />
Foundation Grant awarded to<br />
Tri-County’s football program<br />
will provide us with updated<br />
equipment that will benefit our<br />
athletes from a teaching and<br />
safety standpoint by improving<br />
proper tackling and blocking<br />
techniques. These techniques will<br />
help reduce and hopefully prevent<br />
head and neck injuries and<br />
specifically concussions, said Tri-<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Cultural<br />
Council Seeks<br />
Input from <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Residents<br />
Every 3 years the <strong>Millis</strong> Cultural Council (MCC)<br />
surveys the community to assess where are our greatest<br />
needs in arts and cultural activities in <strong>Millis</strong>. Because<br />
council members are responsible for distributing public<br />
dollars, the MCC needs to solicit and collect local<br />
public opinion about how to best distribute funds. The<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Cultural Council receive more requests than can<br />
be funded, and strong council priorities based on community<br />
input can help guide grant making decisions.<br />
Knowledge of resources, interests, and needs can help<br />
us make difficult decisions and encourage communityresponsive<br />
proposals.<br />
Please click the link below by <strong>June</strong> 10th and take a<br />
few minutes to answer a simple 5-question survey at SurveyMonkey<br />
to help us with our funding priorities in the<br />
coming year. Thank you!<br />

8th Annual Massachusetts<br />
Walking Tour Prepares for 11-Day<br />
Blackstone Valley Trek<br />
The Eighth Annual Massachusetts<br />
Walking Tour, founded<br />
by songwriting duo Mark Mandeville<br />
& Raianne Richards, will<br />
be coming this year to the Blackstone<br />
Valley – performing 11<br />
free community concerts while<br />
traversing the state on foot. Since<br />
2010, Mandeville and Richards<br />
have organized now over 100<br />
coffeehouse style concerts which<br />
showcase local musicians and<br />
artists across the state – creating<br />
a quality evening program for all<br />
ages and an opportunity for talent<br />
young and old to be enjoyed<br />
by a listening audience. Venues<br />
chosen for these community<br />
concerts include public libraries,<br />
town parks, and historical properties<br />
– and this year all events<br />
have been funded through<br />
grants from the Massachusetts<br />
Cultural Council program.<br />
Carrying approximately<br />
40-50 lbs of gear and instruments,<br />
the Massachusetts<br />
Walking Troupe, including<br />
veteran members Mark<br />
Kilianski (guitar, banjo) and<br />
Amy Alvey (fiddle), will be<br />
hiking from concert to concert<br />
using the Blackstone<br />
Valley’s many recreational<br />
trails – Southern New<br />
England Trunkline Trail<br />
(SNETT), Charles River Bikeway,<br />
and trails within DCR’s<br />
Riverbend Farm to name a few.<br />
In addition to evening concerts,<br />
the troupe will also be organizing<br />
a series of short group<br />
hikes wherein the community<br />
will be invited to meet up with<br />
the Massachusetts Walking Tour<br />
as they travel between towns.<br />
These public hikes will highlight<br />
some of the Blackstone Valley’s<br />
recreational hiking trails, routes<br />
which appear in local author<br />
Marjorie Turner Hollman’s<br />
book Easy Walks In Massachusetts.<br />
All routes will be displayed and<br />

Interested in architecture, design,<br />
and landscaping or site design?<br />
The <strong>Medway</strong> Planning and<br />
Economic Development Board is<br />
looking for two <strong>Medway</strong> residents<br />
to serve on the Town’s Design<br />
Review Committee (DRC). The<br />
Board seeks individuals with design<br />
expertise who are motivated<br />
to get involved in Town affairs by<br />
serving on a Town committee. At<br />
the present time, the DRC particularly<br />
needs a member with<br />
graphic design experience.<br />
The DRC advocates for the<br />
preservation and enhancement<br />
of <strong>Medway</strong>’s natural, scenic<br />
and aesthetic qualities in order<br />
to achieve the pleasing composition<br />
of places within the context<br />
of the <strong>Medway</strong> Master Plan. The<br />
Committee works to maintain<br />
and/or improve the quality of<br />
life, value of property and viability<br />
of commerce through the use<br />
of thoughtful and communityappropriate<br />
design practices as<br />
represented by the <strong>Medway</strong> Design<br />
Review Guidelines.<br />
The DRC assists and advises<br />
the Planning and Economic<br />
Development Board, its applicants,<br />
and other Town boards<br />
and committees as may request<br />
design assistance with regard to<br />
the review of applications for<br />
site plan approval, subdivisions,<br />
special permits, scenic road work<br />
permits, signs, and other development<br />
proposals. The DRC’s<br />
recommendations are advisory<br />
and include suggestions for modifications<br />
to proposed designs<br />
and conditions for approval. The<br />
Committee also reviews all proposed<br />
signs in <strong>Medway</strong> and provides<br />
design recommendations.<br />
First established in 2003, the<br />
DRC is comprised of at least<br />
five and up to seven <strong>Medway</strong><br />
residents with experience and/or<br />
training in community planning,<br />
architecture, landscape and site<br />
design, sign design, environmental<br />
design, graphic design, urban<br />
design or other design related<br />
professions. The term of office is<br />
two (2) years.<br />
The DRC meets regularly on<br />
the first and third Monday night<br />
of each month, but is convened<br />
more often if necessary to respond<br />
quickly to various referrals.<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> High Schools<br />
Recognized Nationally<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> High School has earned a<br />
Silver Medal in the latest rankings<br />
of America’s Best High Schools by<br />
US News and World Report. For its<br />
<strong>2017</strong> rankings, the magazine evaluated<br />
almost 22,000 high schools<br />
throughout the nation. To determine<br />
rankings researchers from<br />
US News first analyzed schools to<br />
identify those that outperformed<br />
statistical expectations in their<br />
state’s English and math proficiency<br />
exams (in Massachusetts,<br />
MCAS exams). Those identified<br />
schools were then assigned a “College<br />
Readiness Index” (CRI) based<br />
on the schools’ AP participation<br />
rates and how well students who<br />
took AP classes performed on the<br />
AP exams. <strong>Millis</strong> High School had<br />
a CRI of 51.3, was ranked 31st<br />
in Massachusetts and was ranked<br />
664th nationally (top 15%). For<br />

A week after receiving recognition<br />
from US News and World Report,<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> High School was recognized<br />
by The Washington Post as one of<br />
America’s Most Challenging High<br />
Schools. The Post created a “Challenge<br />
Index” and evaluated over<br />
22,000 public high schools in the<br />
nation. This metric was based on<br />
the number of students enrolled<br />
in college-level classes (in the case<br />
of <strong>Millis</strong> High School, Advanced<br />
Placement classes). Schools that<br />
had a Challenge Index of 1.0 or<br />
greater were included on the list.<br />
Only about 12% of the schools assessed<br />
by the Post earned the distinction.<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> was ranked 1,704<br />
nationally with a Challenge Index<br />
of 1.637.<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> High School Earns<br />
GOLD Medal in National Ranking<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> High School<br />
earned a GOLD medal and<br />
was recently ranked #10 in<br />
US News and World Reports’ Best<br />
High Schools in Massachusetts<br />
ratings and #293 nationally for<br />
student performance. In addition,<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> High School is<br />
ranked #219 in STEM High<br />
Schools nationally. To determine<br />
the top science, technology,<br />
engineering and math<br />
schools, U.S. News looked at<br />
the top 500 public schools from<br />
the Best High School rankings<br />
and evaluated their students’<br />
participation and success in<br />
Advance Placement science<br />
and math tests.<br />
A week after receiving recognition<br />
from US News and<br />
World Report, <strong>Medway</strong> High<br />
School was recognized by The<br />
Washington Post as one of America’s<br />
Most Challenging High<br />
Schools. The Post created a<br />

over 22,000 public high<br />
schools in the nation. <strong>Medway</strong><br />

<strong>Medway</strong> Softball Takes It One Game at a Time<br />
By Christopher Tremblay<br />
It was a rough spring last year<br />
for the <strong>Medway</strong> softball team as<br />
the Mustangs failed to make the<br />
playoffs for the fourth straight<br />
season under Coach Jeff Kearney.<br />
Although the Mustangs concluded<br />
the 2016 season with a<br />
5-15 record, Kearney is looking<br />
for the team to break that streak<br />
and advance into the tournament<br />
this year.<br />
“Our goal is to get the 10<br />
wins needed to qualify for the<br />
state tournament and see what<br />
happens once we get there,” the<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Coach said. “We’re off<br />
to a good start and need only<br />
another four wins to qualify,<br />
but there is still a lot of softball<br />
to be played and the Tri-Valley<br />
League is tough. We’re taking it<br />
one game at a time.”<br />
During the early goings,<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> has only found their<br />
way into the losing column on<br />
one occasion and sits tied with<br />
Norton for second place behind<br />
Hopkinton in the TVL. One of<br />
the big factors to the Mustangs’<br />
success has been two incoming<br />
freshmen; pitcher Catherin Higgins<br />
and second baseman Elis<br />
Cook. The two newcomers have<br />
elevated <strong>Medway</strong>’s play to where<br />
they are contenders in the TVL.<br />
Higgins, who plays club softball<br />
at a high level, came in and<br />
took control of the pitching circle.<br />
The freshman has already<br />
recorded 71 strikeouts in 48 innings<br />
of work while posting a<br />
miniscule 1.02 ERA. In the batter’s<br />
box she not only leads her<br />
team with a .714 average but is<br />
tops in the league.<br />
“She is nasty, and hitters are<br />
finding out the hard way,” Kearney<br />
said. “She throws around 60<br />
MPH and has three or four off<br />
speed pitches she can throw for<br />
strikes. She has so many strikeouts<br />
there is no real pressure on<br />

<strong>Medway</strong> Mustangs softball has had a good season, but after a few<br />
rough years, is cautiously optimistic about the road to post season<br />
play.<br />
the defense.”<br />
Offensively, Cook bats second<br />
behind Higgins and is currently<br />
hitting the ball at a .450 clip; she<br />
is also the team’s back-up pitcher<br />
if the Coach ever needs to give<br />
his ace a rest.<br />
In addition to the newbies<br />
propelling the Mustangs to a<br />
possible tournament berth, <strong>Medway</strong><br />
is also led by its tri-captains<br />
Shannon McHugh, Kylie Sheehan<br />
and Ceilidh Higgins.<br />
McHugh, the only senior<br />
among the trio, is considered the<br />
vocal leader. Having been on the<br />
squad for four years, the senior<br />
brings a lot of experience to the<br />
field as well as knowledge, while<br />
keeping the rest of the team focused.<br />
Sheehan is a rock behind<br />
the plate for <strong>Medway</strong> and is one<br />
of the smartest athletes on the<br />
field according to her coach.<br />
At the plate, she is batting .476,<br />
leads the team in RBI and the<br />
league in stolen bases with 7 to<br />
this point.<br />
The elder Higgins plays the<br />
hot corner for the team and was<br />
Kearney’s number one hurler last<br />
spring. On the field she is a phenomenal<br />
defensive athlete and<br />
with her younger sister throwing<br />
the ball so well in the circle opposing<br />
teams look to get on base<br />
anyway they can, but Higgins<br />
shuts down the idea of anyone<br />
bunting. Hitting in the three hole<br />
she has also contributed some<br />
clutch hitting for <strong>Medway</strong>.<br />
While it certainly looks as<br />
though <strong>Medway</strong> could qualify<br />
for post-season play for the first<br />
time in five years, Kearney and<br />
the team are taking nothing for<br />
granted.<br />
“It would be great to qualify<br />
for the first time since I’ve been<br />
here,” he said. “How far can we<br />
go if we get there, who knows,<br />
but it’s one game at a time.”<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Spikers Aiming for Successful Tourney Run<br />
By KEN HAMWEY<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> boys’ volleyball<br />
team personifies consistency.<br />
Jay Guinan has coached the<br />
squad for the last 11 years, and<br />
during that stretch, the Mohawks<br />
have qualified for tournament<br />
play nine times. Last year’s team<br />
is a typical example of how capable<br />
and steady <strong>Millis</strong> has been —<br />
it posted an 18-2 overall record,<br />
won the Western Alliance championship,<br />
then bowed out in the<br />
playoff quarterfinals to Medfield.<br />
Boys’ volleyball is the only<br />
team at <strong>Millis</strong> that competes in<br />
Division 1, facing the likes of<br />
Xaverian, Catholic Memorial,<br />
St. John’s (Shrewsbury), St. John’s<br />
Prep of Danvers, Milford, Medfield<br />
and BC High. Excelling in<br />
that kind of atmosphere requires<br />
skill, determination and team<br />
unity, and it’s those characteristics<br />
that Guinan believes will propel<br />
his Mohawks to another solid<br />
tournament run. So far, <strong>Millis</strong><br />
has a 15-1 record and is leading<br />
the Western Alliance standings.<br />
“This year’s group has great<br />
team chemistry,’’ Guinan said.<br />
“The boys are very coachable<br />
and a joy to work with. Our<br />
other strengths are our size, a<br />
solid work ethic, experience, talent<br />
and technique. Two areas of<br />
concern, however, are depth and<br />
emotional stability. We’re a small<br />
school, and our numbers are usually<br />
limited. We have only nine<br />
varsity players. Emotional stability<br />
translates to handling pressure<br />
situations. It’s a long season, and<br />
then the playoffs arrive. What’s<br />
important is how we deal with<br />
constant pressure.’’<br />
Carter Burruss, a senior leftside<br />
hitter, was an honorable<br />
mention all-star in the conference<br />
last year and Guinan rates him<br />
as one of the best players in the<br />
area. He’s had colleges recruiting<br />
him. Burruss is 6-2 and at Local<br />
Town Pages deadline he led the<br />
Mohawks in kills with 178. He’s<br />
also first in digs with 147 and has<br />
a hitting percentage of .359.<br />
“Carter is a four-year varsity<br />
player who’s a very powerful attacker,’’<br />
Guinan said. “He’s got<br />
a huge vertical leap (38 inches),<br />
he hits and blocks well and plays<br />
solid defense. He’s an all-around<br />
prospect who’ll focus on academics<br />
in college and could easily<br />
play volleyball.’’<br />
Six-foot senior captain Bennett<br />
Stefanowicz is a right-side<br />
hitter who leads by example.<br />
Guinan says he chooses captains<br />
based on their passion for the<br />
game and their concern for the<br />
team and Stefanowicz certainly<br />
fits that mold. “Bennett has a<br />
good vertical leap, blocks well<br />
and is solid on defense,’’ Guinan<br />
said. “On the court, he’s very<br />
sharp mentally.’’<br />
Guinan lauds left-side hitter<br />
Adam Caretta, a six-foot senior<br />
who’s a four-year veteran of the<br />
program. Caretta has 114 kills<br />
and 144 digs, both numbers are<br />
second on the team. His hitting<br />
percentage is .258. “Adam is very<br />
focused,’’ Guinan emphasized.<br />
“He excels in clutch situations.<br />
He’s also got a very good vertical<br />
leap, he’s a powerful hitter, plays<br />
great defense and has good court<br />
awareness.’’<br />
Seniors Caio Almeida and<br />
Merrill Cushman are middle hitters<br />
who play key roles. Almeida<br />
is 6-1 and is the leading blocker<br />
on the team with 49. He also has<br />
94 kills. Cushman is six feet and<br />
is third in digs with 99 and has a<br />
serve percentage of 93.6. He also<br />
has 23 blocks. “Caio hits hard,<br />
is powerful, blocks well and is a<br />
solid all-around competitor. He’s<br />
also in great physical shape. Merrill<br />
is a good blocker, has great<br />
arm speed, serves solidly and his<br />
defense is spectacular.’’<br />
Senior Bo Calais, a 5-8 setter,<br />
is the team’s quarterback. He’s in<br />
his second year as the Mohawks’<br />
starting setter. “Bo is a four-year<br />
player who’s consistent and plays<br />
a blue-collar game,’’ Guinan<br />
said. “He’s not flashy, but he<br />
gets the job done. He’s the fastest<br />
player on the team, he’s got a<br />
high volleyball IQ and he’s solid<br />
on defense, serving and blocking.’’<br />
Guinan’s reserves, who get<br />
playing time, are senior defensive<br />
specialist Malachy Doyle, junior<br />
libero Jason Parker, and junior<br />
middle/right-side hitter Benjamin<br />
Clark.<br />
“Malachy is a first-year varsity<br />
player who’s tenacious, always<br />
competing with a lot of heart,’’<br />
Guinan said. “Jason was on the<br />
jayvees last year. He’s quick, has<br />
good hands, serves consistently<br />
and is very coachable. Benjamin<br />
has a vertical leap that is out of<br />
this world. He’s focused, has a<br />
high volleyball IQ, serves solidly<br />
and he’s developing a power<br />
game.’’<br />
Before the season got under<br />
way, Guinan listed four goals for<br />
his Mohawks: win the conference<br />
title, be Central Mass. Sectional<br />
champs, qualify for the state finals,<br />
and win the state championship.<br />
The goals are lofty, but<br />
Guinan says they’re “realistic.’’<br />
“We’re strong enough to<br />
achieve all four,’’ says the 55-yearold<br />
volleyball coach of 28 years.<br />
“We’re for real, but we’ve got<br />
to stay focused and poised. Last<br />
year’s lost early in the playoffs,<br />
because it looked beyond the<br />
next game.’’<br />
He’s a venerable coach who’s<br />
all business, but he also knows<br />
when to relax and enjoy a lighter<br />
moment with his team. In assembling<br />
a roster, he looks for<br />
passion for the sport, athleticism,<br />
size, and a coachable nature, and<br />
players with a character that he<br />
calls “being nice.’’<br />
“My philosophy is to teach<br />
kids to be prepared and focused,’’<br />
says the coach. “If you’re driven<br />
and prepared, winning will follow.<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> boys volleyball has consistently seen tourney play, so Coach<br />
Guinan’s goals of winning the conference title, sectional champs,<br />
heading to the state finals and winning the state championship are<br />
attainable.<br />

Town of <strong>Medway</strong> Launches<br />
Fiscal Transparency Center<br />
Partners with ClearGov to Bring<br />
Clarity to Government Finances<br />
The Town of <strong>Medway</strong> has<br />
announced that it has partnered<br />
with ClearGov, a leading municipal<br />
transparency and benchmarking<br />
platform, to launch an<br />
infographic-based fiscal transparency<br />
center.<br />
The new tool provides taxpayers<br />
an easy-to-understand, visual<br />
breakdown of <strong>Medway</strong> finances,<br />
as well as insights into the Town’s<br />
demographics. The site also informs<br />
visitors as to how each<br />
budget item compares to neighboring<br />
communities.<br />
The Town is part of a growing<br />
movement of Massachusetts<br />
municipalities that are taking<br />
transparency to a new level on<br />
ClearGov platform, which also<br />
showcases basic profiles of every<br />
municipality in the state. The<br />
Town has added detailed revenues<br />
and expenditures breakdowns<br />
of its General Fund, as<br />
well as Debt.<br />
“We are very pleased to introduce<br />
ClearGov to <strong>Medway</strong>,”<br />
said Glenn Trindade, Chair of<br />
the Board of Selectmen. “The<br />
Town is constantly trying to<br />
improve communication and<br />
increased understanding about<br />
municipal operations, and this is<br />
another important step to bringing<br />
increased transparency to our<br />
residents,” he said. <strong>Medway</strong> has<br />
made this new portal available<br />
on the homepage of the town’s<br />
website www.townofmedway.org<br />
. Visitors to the site can click on<br />
“Transparent and Open Government”<br />
on the bottom of the<br />
homepage to get to <strong>Medway</strong>’s<br />
ClearGov page.<br />
ClearGov sources publicly<br />
available financial data on municipalities<br />
to create easy-to-understand<br />
transparency websites<br />
for thousands of municipalities<br />
across the United States, which<br />
are made available to the public<br />
for free. <strong>Medway</strong> has chosen to<br />
upgrade and enhance our publicly<br />
available transparency site<br />
with more robust information<br />
and to provide context through<br />
commentary on the figures.<br />

Register O’Donnell stated,<br />
“Today, there is a California<br />
company that is sending a directmail<br />
solicitations to unsuspecting<br />
homeowners asking them to<br />
send a check for $83 in order to<br />
receive a copy of their deed. If a<br />
consumer knew that the Registry<br />
of Deeds would provide them the<br />
same certified copy of a property<br />
deed for a charge of only $1 per<br />
page, plus an additional $1 for<br />
postage, they would never agree<br />
to pay such an outrageous fee for<br />
service. The average price for a<br />
mailed homeowner’s deed by<br />
the Registry (usually two pages)<br />
is $3.”<br />
“These solicitations,” noted<br />
O’Donnell, “are labeled Recorded<br />
Deed Notice and request<br />
that the homeowner forward a<br />
check in the amount of $83 for a<br />
copy of their deed. The Registry<br />
has been contacted by many who<br />
have received this solicitation. Do<br />
not fall for this scam.”<br />
Register O’Donnell concluded,<br />
“While the practice may<br />
be legal, it’s certainly not ethical.”<br />
If you receive such a deed solicitation<br />
notice, please contact<br />
the Registry’s Customer Service<br />
Center immediately at (781)<br />
461-6101 or by email at registerodonnell@norfolkdeeds.org.<br />
Additionally, if you desire a copy<br />
of your own deed, also contact<br />
the Registry’s Customer Service<br />
Center and we will be glad to<br />
provide you with one for a nominal<br />
fee of usually $2-$3.<br />
