Millis Football Repeats 

Division 8 Championship 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Coming into the season, Millis Coach Dana 

Olson didn’t expect to repeat as Super Bowl 

Champions, but he did know he had a group of 

talented athletes returning. When the Mohawks 

lost their season opener, things didn’t look good, 

but the squad regrouped and went on a tear, 

winning 11 consecutive games to cap off the 

season with their second Super Bowl victory in 

as many years; this time at Gillette Stadium. 

Millis took home the Division 8 Championship 

handing Hoosac Valley their only loss of 

the season in a rout 37-0. 

“This win was a little more gratifying than 

last years. It was easier, as they knew what was 

The Voice of Your Community

Hurricanes at Gillette Stadium to win 

their second straight Superbowl and 

become 2018 Division 8 Champions.

expected of them having been their last year. 

The kids were super focused and ready for Hoosac,” 

Olson said. “We beat them up in all three 

phases of the game; the team kept their composure 

and acted like they’ve been there before. 

They represented their town with dignity, and 

as a coach, I was extremely proud of them. The

town should be ecstatic.” 

Over the last four seasons, 

Olson has guided the team to a 

37-11 record while capturing four 

straight South Sectional Titles, 3 

consecutive Tri-Valley League 

Championships and two Super 

Bowl victories. Senior quarterback 

Bryce Latosek was 8-12 for 

164 yards passing, connecting on 

three touchdown passes and ran 

for another. Last year in the Division 

4A Super Bowl victory the 

senior was 18-30 for 310 yards 

and 4 touchdowns. Latosek has 

tossed 65 touchdowns over the 

past two seasons, including 35 

this year. 

Millis went into the half with 

a 24-0 lead scoring on all four 

first half possessions. Raymond 

Hilaire was the first Mohawk 

to reach the end zone on a 37- 

yard touchdown pass from Lsatosek. 

Dominic Zonfrelli added a 

6-yard run, Chris Edwards had 

a 32-yeard field goal and Andrew 

Brooks connected with the 

Millis quarterback on a 50-yard 

touchdown to close out the half. 

Latosek would add a 10-yard 

touchdown run and connected 

again with Brooks for a 14-yard 

score to round out the scoring. 

On the ground, Kurt Hopkins 

rushed for a 185 yards on 

25 carries and despite not getting 

into the end zone his dominant 

running set up the Millis passing 

attack. Hopkins’ 185 yards were 

the largest total allowed by the 

Hurricanes to a single rusher all 

season long. 

“We took what was given 

to us. Kurt established the run 

which opened up the passing 

lanes and Bryce took advantage 

of that,” the Mohawk Coach 

said. “They (Hoosac) scored 

76 points the week before and 

scored 500 points on the season 

an average of 47 per game. 

Shutting them out was a testament 

to our defense; one that is 

top notch, but gets overlooked 

because of our offense. They’re 

probably the best I have ever had 

in my coaching career.” 

In the win, Millis not only 

shut down Hoosac’s dominant 

run game but outplayed the Hurricanes 

in just about every facet 

of the game. Millis had 21 fists 

downs to Hoosac’s 7; out rushed 

the Hurricanes 225 – 121, passed 

for 164 yards holding Hoosac to 

60 while the Hurricanes also lost 

two fumbles.

Millis Project 351 Ambassador 

Gives Back to Community 

By J.D. O’Gara 

He’s been a Project 351 Ambassador 

since this past spring. 

Joseph Scolpinetti, a freshman 

at Millis High School, was nominated 

by Maureen Knowlton, 

Millis Middle School principal, 

at the beginning of 2017, in his 

8th grade year, to be an ambassador 

for Millis for the Commonwealth’s 

Project 351. Scolpinetti 

joined 8th graders across the 

state in a leadership position 

where they would work on service 

projects that included kindness, 

compassion, humility and 

gratitude. 

Scolpinetti most recently collected 

89 canned goods and 

$250 in donations for the Millis 

Food Pantry. He conducted the 

food drive at the Middle School, 

and collected for the Millis Food 

Pantry at the Millis High School 

Football team’s Superbowl championship 

game at Gillette Stadium. 

“I never knew how much I 

could impact my community before 

I became a part of Project 

351,” says Scolpinetti. “It has 

been a wonderful experience, 

and I am proud and honored to 

do it again next year.” 

The student’s first large service 

project was a yard sale he 

held at his home. He collected 

$520 dollars from that, using the 

funds to purchase food for homeless 

veterans from BJ’s. Secondly, 

Scolpinetti held a clothing drive 

for Cradles to Crayons, which 

resulted in a truckload of donations.

Three Millis Scouts Achieve 

Eagle Rank 

On November 19, 2017, 

three members of Millis Boy 

Scout Troop 15 achieved 

the rank of Eagle Scout, an

Boy Scouts reach. 

Nathan Maltinsky, Chair of

commented on the young 

men’s achievement on the organization’s 

Facebook page. 

“Thank you to the Millis Boy 

Scouts for the honor of attending 

your Eagle Scout badge ceremony

Millis Historic Commission Meets with GAF to 

Encourage Preservation 

On December 14th, the Millis 

Historical Commission met 

with a representative of GAF at 

the Millis Town Hall. The commission 

hopes to work with the 

company in saving most or all 

of the historic structure, built in 

1889, at 60 Curve Street, as the 

building is being considered by 

the company for demolition. The 

GAF representative indicated 

that the company might be willing 

to work with the town, cost 

permitting considering cleanup 

of the site, to preserve some of 

the structure. Participants in 

the discussion made suggestions 

about a possible request at next 

Town Meeting to re-zone the 

property in order to attract more 

interest in the property by prospective 

businesses.

Treat the symptom, or treat the person? 

At The Balanced Path Wellness 

Center in Medway, clients 

can expect an approach that 

not only identifies root causes of 

their issues, but that goes beyond 

Western medical approaches to 

examine and improve their overall 

function and well-being. Cynthia 

Meeske, LICSW, CRMT 

and Paul Gerst L.Ac. Acupuncturist 

& Natural Health Practitioner 

have combined their unique 

experience and techniques to effectively 

address mind, body and 

spirit. 

Paul Gerst L.Ac. is a licensed 

Acupuncturist and Natural 

Health Practitioner practicing 

for over 20 years. With his skill 

in the use of Neuro-Tapping 

and AK Techniques: Neurolink, 

NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) 

and Nutrition Response 

Testing, he’s helped many people 

overcome difficult-to-treat, 

chronic health issues. A Certified 

Professional Mediator and certified 

Meditation Trainer, Paul 

has taught classes to the general 

public and other practitioners for 

over 10 years. A published author 

and speaker, Gerst has been 

featured on radio shows, medical 

conferences and has produced 

his own cable television show, 

“Health, Naturally.” 

Cindy Meeske has practiced 

in the mental health field for 18 

years and has seven years’ experience 

as a Reiki practitioner. 

Cindy’s eclectic approach with 

clients of all ages combines Cognitive 

Behavioral Therapy with 

mindfulness, meditation techniques 

and energy work. 

“There is a place for each type 

of modality depending on what 

people need,” says Meeske. 

The Balanced Path Wellness 

Center is the realization 

of Meeske’s vision of bringing 

different modalities together. 

Meeske’s and Gerst’s different 

tools and experience offer clients 

a new depth of options. 

“We can refer to each other,” 

she says. “Someone might come 

to me for therapy issues, but 

maybe Paul can help them with 

something I can’t. We can come 

at it from different angles, and 

they can benefit from that.” 

“It’s a round table approach 

to health care,” says Paul, “and 

there’s a comfort in knowing the

Steve Bullock 

person you’re referring to and 

how they work.” 

Gerst explains that the Western 

approach to medicine tends 

to look at the mechanical, while 

he looks at function. “When the 

function is interrupted, or diminished, 

a number of the things on 

the outside of the body can happen.” 

The way to get to the root 

of a problem, he says, is to understand 

all the causes of a disease 

and the signs they manifest 

in the body and in the spirit. 

Getting to know their clients is 

how both practitioners work best. 

“We’re both adept at reading 

people,” says Gerst. His own assessment 

might look at “posture, 

color of skin, expressions of the 

face, the tongue, body shape,” 

while Meeske’s considers psychological 

manifestations of problems. 

“People come in with real layered 

issues, and my paperwork is 

asking for all of their medical diagnoses, 

their complaints, fettering 

out all our different systems 

in the body,” says Gerst. Often, 

he says, a patient will note that 

his treatment has resolved an 

issue they didn’t even mention. 

“A patient will say, ‘my allergies 

are better, what did you do?’ 

And I’ll say, ‘why didn’t you tell 

me you had allergies?’ That further 

validates what we do, the 

idea that you’re not treating a 

disease, you’re treating a person,” 

says Gerst, who offers both 

individual as well as more cost-effective 

group sessions. “A Patient- 

Centered vs. a Disease-Centered 

approach,” he says, “is going to 

help (people with chronic health 

issues) far more than going on 

medications.” 

Meeske turned to energy 

medicine when she became disenchanted 

with trends she saw 

in mental health medicine. She 

didn’t believe in diagnosing and 

medicating patients too soon. 

Reiki resonated with her, because 

“I was always a believer that our 

energy fields hold the physical, 

mental, emotional, and spiritual. 

Say we have an emotional issue, 

and as a result, there’s a physical 

ailment that goes with it. We 

need to treat the body as a whole 

energy to (treat it). (Energy) connects 

all things,” she says. Meeske 

uses a “hands-above” approach 

to Reiki for the comfort of her 

clients who may not want to be 

touched. 

Gerst, too, found that his career 

path veered from traditional 

western medicine. “The more I 

learned about western medicine, 

the less I wanted to be a part 

of it,” he says. “Although, there 

are some things they can do 

that nobody else can do, such as 

emergency, surgical and genetic 

medicine, they treat chronic disease 

poorly.” 

Gerst finds a reward in helping 

patients resolve issues. “If you 

can identify what they’re doing

what they’re not doing that they

in her work, creating a 

rapport and safe space to facilitate 

her clients on their journeys 

toward healthy relationships, fulfilling 

lives after depression, and 

dissipation of symptoms of such 

issues as PTSD. “I can see that 

progression, and that’s rewarding,” 

she says.

Millis Fund to Launch Annual 

Fund Drive 

By J.D. O’Gara 

What does it mean to help 

your neighbor? 

Organizers of the Millis Fund 

know it as being there to help 

your neighbors in their time of 

need. In fact, that’s just why the 

Millis Fund was created. The 

small nonprofit has helped over 

400 families out of critical financial 

crises, due to such issues as illness, 

accidents, and family issues, 

since it was begun 23 years ago, 

says Brooks Corl, who is entering 

his 19th year as treasurer for the 

organization. 

Established in 1994, the Millis 

Fund was created by volunteers 

from four houses of worship in 

Millis –St. Thomas the Apostle 

Parish, Ael Chunon Congregation, 

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church 

(which is now closed) and the 

Church of Christ, Congregational. 

The fund is supported through 

private donations to provide 

emergency financial aid to Millis 

residents, for such items as rent, 

utilities, medical costs, fuel, clothing 

and other emergency needs. 

“The Millis Fund helps Millis 

families with financial emergencies 

- usually arising from 

something unexpected and shortterm,” 

says Corl.” It’s everything; 

it’s rent, it’s medical, it’s utilities 

– when utilities become futilities.” 

Corl adds that many events 

can contribute to a sudden emergency 

need. 

“It’s not hard for an illness, 

an accident, or some other sort 

of financial emergency or family 

problem, things that are generally 

very much unforeseeable, to 

tip the scales,” he says. 

Corl points out that some 

founding principles of the Millis 

Fund are complete confidentiality 

for the family needing help, 

that the fund pays the creditor 

owed, that it does not help any 

family more than once per year, 

(and rarely would it support any 

one family more than three times 

overall,) and that The Millis Fund 

is designed to relieve temporary 

financial emergencies only, not 

chronic needs. 

The nine members of the 

Board of Directors meet about 

four or five times a year to plan 

the fund drive, create the materials 

and review the applications. 

The annual mailing is also 

donated, so just about all of the 

funds donated to The Millis Fund 

benefit Millis residents. Board 

members take care to personally 

contact each applicant. 

Corl says the fund helped 

about 16 families in town last 

year, always by paying the 

creditor(s) directly rather than 

giving money to the applicant. At 

its onset, the Millis Fund helped 

about 8-10 families a year, but the 

number of families, in the teens, 

has remained steady in the past 

few years. 

“The average need has continued 

to rise a bit year to year. Living 

in general has gotten more 

expensive, even for a small town 

like Millis,” says Corl. 

This month, the Millis Fund 

holds its annual drive, and then 

on the second Sunday in February, 

“Souper Sunday,” a soup 

bowl is literally passed through 

places of worship to gather contributions 

for the fund. 

Millis residents can apply for 

assistance with a simple, one-page 

application, up to once a year. 

These are available at the Millis 

Senior Center or the Church of 

Christ (Congregational) at 142 

Exchange St., says Corl, neither 

of which is affiliated with the organization. 

If you would like to help your 

fellow residents in need, you can 

send your donation to: 

The Millis Fund, 142 Exchange 

Street, Millis, MA 02054. 

The fund is a 501 (c3) organization 

and will provide a letter 

of thanks, which could serve as a 

receipt. 

Yoga are powerful yet regulated 

from within, individually. 

A person grows at their own 

pace. That’s what makes it so effective. 

Whether you or a loved 

one need to break a persistent 

behavior pattern, or you would 

like to support a friend or loved 

one, this course is for you,” explained 

Dr. Hari Kirin Kaur 

Khalsa, MD, Director of Yoga 

at the Ashram.

Living Healthy 

Dry Eye Syndrome 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

If you find yourself using artificial 

tears often, like when you 

are checking e-mail or going 

outdoors for a run, it may mean 

you have a disease called Dry 

Eye Syndrome. 

Dry Eye Syndrome, also 

known by the medical name 

keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a 

condition in which there are insufficient 

tears to lubricate and 

nourish the eye. Tears are necessary 

for maintaining the health 

of the front surface of the eye 

and for providing clear vision. 

People with dry eyes either do 

not produce enough tears or 

have a poor quality of tears. Dry 

Eye Syndrome is a common and 

often chronic problem, particularly 

in older adults. This is even 

more common these days, with 

our harsh winters and dry cold 

air. 

With each blink of the eyelids, 

tears are spread across the 

front surface of the eye, known 

as the cornea. Tears provide 

lubrication, reduce the risk of 

eye infection, wash away foreign 

matter in the eye, and keep the 

surface of the eyes smooth and 

clear. Excess tears in the eyes 

flow into small drainage ducts, 

in the inner corners of the eyelids, 

which drain in the back of 

the nose. 

Dry eyes can result from either 

inadequate tear production 

or poor quality of tears. 

Inadequate amount of tears – 

Tears are produced by several 

glands in and around the eyelids. 

Optical 

Shop 

On-Site 

Tear production tends to diminish 

with age, with various medical 

conditions, or as a side effect 

of certain medicines. When the 

normal amount of tear production 

decreases or tears evaporate 

too quickly from the eyes (wind, 

dry environment) symptoms of 

dry eye can develop. 

Poor quality of tears – Tears 

are made up of three layers: oil, 

water, and mucus. If the tears 

evaporate too quickly or do not 

spread evenly over the cornea 

due to deficiencies with any of 

the three tear layers, dry eye 

symptoms can develop. 

People with dry eyes may 

experience symptoms of irritated, 

gritty, scratchy, or burning 

eyes, a feeling of something 

in their eyes, excess watering, 

and blurred vision. Advanced 

dry eyes may damage the front 

surface of the eye and impair vision. 

Treatments for dry eyes aim 

to restore or maintain the normal 

amount of tears in the eye 

to minimize dryness and related 

discomfort and to maintain eye 

health. 

What causes dry eyes? 

The majority of people over 

the age of 65 experience some 

symptoms of dry eyes. 

The development of dry eyes 

can have many causes. They include: 

Age – dry eye is a part of 

the natural aging process. The 

majority of people over age 65 

experience some symptoms of 

dry eyes.

Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D. 

Kameran Lashkari, M.D. 

Excellent Eye Care for the Entire Family 

Gender – women are more 

likely to develop dry eyes due 

to hormonal changes caused by 

pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, 

and menopause. 

Medications – antihistamines, 

decongestants, blood pressure 

medications and antidepressants 

can reduce the amount of tears 

produced in the eyes. 

Medical conditions – persons 

with rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes 

and thyroid problems are 

more likely to have symptoms 

of dry eyes. Also, problems with 

inflammation of the eyelid margin 

(blepharitis), inflammation 

of the surfaces of the eye, or 

the inward or outward turning 

of eyelids can cause dry eyes to 

develop. 

Environmental conditions – 

exposure to smoke, wind and 

dry climates can increase tear 

evaporation resulting in dry 

eye symptoms. Failure to blink 

regularly, such as when staring 

at a computer screen for long 

periods of time, can also contribute 

to drying of the eyes. 

If your house uses dry heat or 

a wood burning stove, you are 

at a higher risk as humidity will 

be down and evaporation of the 

eye tear film increases. 

Other factors – long term use 

of contact lenses can be a factor 

in the development of dry eyes. 

Refractive eye surgeries, such as 

LASIK, can cause the same.

examination and testing of the 

quantity and quality of tears 

produced by the eyes. 

How do we treat dry 

eyes? 

One of the primary approaches 

used to manage and 

treat mild cases of dry eyes is 

adding tears using over-thecounter 

artificial tear solutions. 

Dry eyes can be a chronic 

condition. The primary approaches 

used to manage and 

treat dry eyes include adding 

tears, conserving tears, increasing 

tear production, and treating 

the inflammation of the eyelids 

or eye surface that contributes to 

the dry eyes. 

Adding tears – Mild cases 

of dry eyes can often be managed 

using over-the-counter artificial 

tear solutions. These can 

be used as often as needed to 

supplement natural tear production. 

Preservative-free artificial 

tear solutions are recommended 

because they contain fewer additives 

that could further irritate 

the eyes. 

Conserving tears – An additional 

approach to reducing the 

symptoms of dry eyes is to keep 

natural tears in the eyes longer. 

This can be done by blocking 

the tear ducts through which the 

tears normally drain. The goal is 

to keep the available tears in the 

eye longer to reduce problems 

related to dry eyes. 

Increasing tear production – 

Prescription eye drops that help 

to increase production of tears 

can be recommended, as well as 

omega-3 fatty acid nutritional 

supplements like fish oil and flax 

seed oil. 

Treatment of the contributing 

eyelid or ocular surface inflammation 

– Prescription eye 

drops or ointments, warm compresses 

and lid scrubs, or eyelid 

cleaners may be recommended 

to help decrease inflammation 

around the surface of the eyes. 

More advanced treatment 

for dry eye syndrome: Recently, 

Xiidra (lifitegrast) has been approved 

for treatment of dry 

eye syndrome. Xiidra works by 

blocking a certain protein on 

the surface of cells in your eyes. 

This protein can cause your eyes 

to not produce enough tears, or 

to produce tears that are not the 

correct consistency to keep your 

eyes healthy. Restasis (cyclosporine) 

is another medication 

available. Restasis is a prescription 

eye drop that helps patients 

increase their eyes’ natural ability 

to produce tears by reducing 

ocular surface inflammation that 

contributes to dry eye syndrome. 

What are some steps 

one can take to reduce 

symptoms of dry eye? 

Remember to blink regularly 

when reading or staring at a 

computer screen for long periods 

of time. 

Get a humidifier at work and 

at home, particularly during the 

dry winter months. 

Wear sunglasses outdoors, 

particularly those with wrap 

around frame design, to reduce 

exposure to drying winds and 

sun. 

Use nutritional supplements 

containing omega-3 fatty acid 

like fish oil and flax seed oil. 

Dry Eye Syndrome is very 

common. Our center and ophthalmologists 

have state of the 

art equipment to diagnose and 

treat many eye problems, including 

dry eyes. With a full time 

specialist in cornea and external 

diseases, we are now a referral 

center for difficult cases of dry 

eyes. With our knowledge and 

experience, we can manage this 

problem and continue our mission 

to provide world class eye 

care for the entire family.

A Year in Review: Medway 2017 

By David Pasquantonio 

It was a busy year in Medway, 

said Michael Boynton, Medway’s 

town administrator, as he 

reviewed the town’s 2017 highlights 

and accomplishments, but 

it was also a good year. 

Perhaps the biggest news, and 

the item with the most future financial 

impact, was the final approval 

of the expansion of the 

Medway Exelon plant on Summer 

Street. This will result in an 

estimated $3.8 million annual 

payment, in lieu of taxes, to the 

town starting in FY 2019. Boynton 

said that the town is looking 

at minimal staff expansion, 

instead slotting money towards 

various education and infrastructure 

needs, along with residential 

tax relief. 

The $10 million Route 109 

redesign project is finishing up 

another year. Although some of 

the more complex work has been 

completed, there’s still plenty to 

come in 2018, including work at 

two Main Street intersections, at 

Franklin and Holliston streets. “I 

would say that there have been 

no surprises,” said Boynton, adding 

that the town has worked 

hard to minimize delays. 

Traffic has ramped up on 

other key streets, including Village 

Street, as drivers seek alternative 

routes. Boynton said 

that the town has ramped up 

traffic enforcement as a result. 

New speed limit signs on Village 

Street have sprung up in the past 

few weeks. Beyond the ongoing 

Shown is Michael Boynton, Medway Town Administrator. 

Route 109 project, improvements 

were made to many local roads, 

including sidewalks at Saddle 

Hill Road, in efforts to enhance 

road and pedestrian safety. 

The fire department added 

four personnel while continuing 

its move towards providing Advanced 

Life Support services in 

its ambulances. Four additional 

hires will start in the department 

on January 1, thanks to a Staffing 

for Adequate Fire and Emergency 

Response (SAFER) grant, 

Boynton said. 

The police department bid 

goodbye to four retiring officers: 

Lt. William Boultenhouse, 

Det. Donald Grimes, Officer 

David McRoberts, and Officer 

Richard Simard. Lt. David Mc- 

Sweeney and Sgt. John Meincke 

were promoted, and the department 

added four graduates. 

The Medway Oak Grove 

Urban Renewal Plan received 

the needed local and state approvals 

for the Medway Redevelopment 

Authority to begin work 

on the “bottle cap lots” and a 

few other adjoining parcels. For 

those unaware of why this project 

has such an interesting name, 

here’s some information from 

the town’s website: “The Bottle 

Cap lots derive their name from 

a 1920’s marketing promotion by 

Clicquot Club, which awarded 

small parcels to customers with 

winning bottle cap lots. There 

were originally approximately 

1,018 Bottle Cap lots with an 

average size of approximately 

1,600 square feet and dimensions 

of approximately 80 feet by 

20 feet. The ownership of many

A Step Forward, 

with a Look Back 

As 2018 begins, Local Town Pages took 

a journey at the issues and 

accomplishments at the forefront of 

both Medway and Millis. 

of the lots has been consolidated 

over the years, but the configuration 

of many small, irregularly 

shaped lots with multiple owners 

remains a significant obstacle to 

redevelopment of the area.” 

In development news, in May, 

the Zoning Board of Appeals 

granted a comprehensive permit 

for Timber Crest Estates, 

which will add about 150 units 

of rental-affordable housing to 

the town. In August, the board 

granted a permit for Glen Brook 

Way, which will add another 48 

units, and Boynton said that this 

brings the affordable housing 

total to about 7.2% of the town’s 

housing stock. The town also 

continued work towards final approval 

of Salmon Health’s Willows 

at Medway, the 57-acre, 

200-unit adult retirement community 

slated for Village Street. 

At the fall town meeting, voters 

approved a comprehensive 

playground plan for Choate Park 

and Oakland Park and improved 

tennis courts for the middle 

school. The plan was the result 

of much hard work from the 

Evaluation of Parks, Fields, and 

Recreational Areas Committee, 

Boynton said, adding, “EPFRAC 

did a wonderful job.” Work will 

commence in the spring. 

In Department of Public Services 

news, after former DPS director 

Thomas Holder resigned 

in late 2016 to take a position in 

Wayland, deputy director Dave 

D’Amico was named director, 

and Barry Smith, the former 

water and sewer superintendent, 

was named deputy director. 

In the spring, Medway unveiled 

an upgraded partnership 

with Cleargov.com, a website 

that uses snappy graphics to 

provide a snapshot of the town’s 

budget, population, and median 

home prices, among other stats, 

and allows residents to compare 

how their town stacks up against 

similar municipalities. 

The town said goodbye to a 

longtime building. In April, selectman 

voted to raze the former 

St. Joseph’s Men’s Club building 

behind Town Hall and the 

fire department, with plans to 

turn the ensuing space into additional 

parking. The building was 

deemed a structural hazard, and 

mailings to the listed club trustees 

were returned by the post office. 

Boynton has been the Medway 

town administrator for 

about three and half years, and 

previously held stints in Mendon, 

Sutton, and Walpole. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 

"She breathes dance in and out like oxygen, and reveres the craft and her role as a teacher." ~ Parent


A Year in Review: Millis 2017 

By David Pasquantonio 

The biggest issue in 2017 

in Millis, and certainly the one 

most discussed by residents, was 

the new school, but there were 

many other newsworthy items 

and accomplishments. Town 

Administrator Michael Guzinski 

and Selectman James McCaffrey 

reviewed Millis’s 2017 key happenings 

in a recent interview. 

On December 8, a groundbreaking 

ceremony marked the 

official start of construction for an 

elementary school to replace the 

aging Clyde F. Brown Elementary 

School. Voters approved an 

override at the spring town meeting, 

and reaffirmed that decision 

at the fall town meeting. The 

project was delayed due to citizen 

concerns and a few lawsuits, but 

was given the go-ahead after the 

November meeting. Clearing of 

the site, including the former 6.4- 

acre Town Park, began almost 

immediately. The Massachusetts 

School Board Association will reimburse 

the town for about $20 

million of the estimated $51 million 

project. Construction will be 

completed in 2019. 

Guzinski and McCaffrey said 

that although there was divisiveness 

among residents concerning 

the project, in the end, they 

hoped that the high level of civic 

engagement will carry over into 

other areas, like volunteering for 

boards and committees or regularly 

attending more meetings. 

Residents approved a plan to 

create a stormwater utility to pay 

for compliance and maintenance 

costs of meeting more stringent 

EPA regulations on stormwater 

runoff, containment, and management. 

The owners of each of the 

approximate 4,000 land parcels in 

town will pay into the utility. 

One of the biggest events in Millis in 2017 was the groundbreaking of the new Clyde F. Brown Elementary School, which took place on December 

8th. The Town voted twice on the hotly contested override, overwhelmingly supporting the new MSBA-supported construction. 

“All communities in the Commonwealth 

will have to find a 

way to either absorb the costs of 

developing a program, or find a 

new way to pay for it,” Guzinski 

said. McCaffrey added that while 

sometimes Millis waits for new 

programs to be “tried and true” 

before the town adopts them, in 

the case of the stormwater utility, 

Millis is proactively at the 

forefront. 

The separation of the town’s 

public safety departments into 

two buildings was completed 

after the fire department fully 

took over the building previously 

shared with the police department, 

which moved into its own 

facility in 2016. McCaffrey said 

that the meeting room in the facility 

has seen extensive use, as 

have the meeting spaces at the 

library and town hall. 

The active adult community 

at Glen Ellen has received a 

number of approvals, with the 

next phase of the project being a 

proposal to hook into the town’s 

existing sewer system rather than 

having an on-site treatment facility. 

McCaffrey and Guzinski 

noted that some potential road 

work on Orchard Street, among 

other areas, has been delayed 

pending that outcome, as there 

would be little sense in repaving 

roads only to have them torn up 

again for the planned Toll Brothers 

community. 

Other developments in town 

have seen action, including the 

continued building of residences 

at South End Farm and the clearing 

of land in preparation for an 

assisted living facility on Dover 

Road. The new Tractor Supply 

Company store on Main Street 

was the biggest new retailer in 

town. 

The Department of Public 

Works had a busy year, including 

some key road work on Village 

Street, the completion of the Veterans 

Memorial outside of Town 

Hall, and improved access for the 

Life Experience School. The latter 

two projects were delivered 

with minimal outside aid, an 

example, McCaffrey said, of the 

department continuing to deliver 

cost-effective local solutions. 

The police department added 

three experienced officers to the 

force, an outcome possible after 

a previous town decision to withdraw 

from the Commonwealth’s 

civil service system, thus allowing 

departments to hire officers 

based on their own criteria rather 

than a state ranking system. The 

fire department finished up training 

as part of a move to providing 

Advanced Life Support services 

for ambulatory care. 

No recreational or medical 

marijuana facilities started up 

in 2017, although the issue saw 

much debate and planning. Millis 

issued a moratorium on recreational 

marijuana establishments 

as the town waits to see how regulations 

surrounding the Commonwealth’s 

vote to approve 

marijuana play out. McCaffrey 

and Guzinski said that the town’s 

most prudent approach was to 

issue a moratorium. One medical 

marijuana facility has obtained a 

license to open a facility along 

Main Street towards the Medway 

line. 

The Millis girls’ varsity soccer 

team won the state Division 

4 championship, and the varsity 

football team won the state Division 

8 championship. 

In May, local landmark Bob’s 

Family Restaurant was destroyed 

by a fire. And a trail camera 

caught the image of a bear wandering 

through town in August. 

Guzinski started in late March 

as the new town administrator, 

replacing Charles Aspinwall, who 

had taken a similar role in Canton 

in 2016. Guzinski was the town 

administrator in Douglas for 13 

years before taking the position 

in Millis, and had also worked in 

Rowley and Blackstone.

Generous Community Rises to 

the Challenge to “Stuff the Bus” 

By: Marjorie Turner Hollman 

It all started with an idea. 

Ray Auger, My FM’s Mr. Everything, 

and host of the Morning 

Show on Myfm101.3 &WMRC 

1490AM radio, told Tom 

McAuliffe, owner and manager 

of the stations, that he wanted 

to do a special promotion. The 

idea? Have a toy collection for 

Christmas, and fill the container 

provided at the toy collection 

spot. Simple concept, it’s been 

done before, for a worthy cause. 

McAuliffe agreed, and noted, 

“We just got a new station vehicle, 

a retired ambulance, so I 

said, ‘Sure.’ But Ray said, “I was 

really thinking about trying to fill 

a bus.’” 

And thus began the “Stuff 

a bus” toy drive that took place 

December 2, planned as a 30- 

hour marathon toy drive in the 

parking lot of Target in Milford. 

McAuliffe and Auger started out 

at 6 a.m. that Saturday morning, 

planning to stay with the bus till 

noon Sunday. McAuliffe thought 

they might be lucky enough to 

get 200-300 toys, but with the 

added power of social media, the 

toy drive took on a life of its own. 

The station obtained an initial 

$2,000 in corporate sponsors 

for the toy drive, and throughout 

the weekend, McAuliffe and/ 

or Auger went into Target with 

money donated from sponsors 

Chinese Restaurant 

508-376-8868 

and had ‘shopping sprees,” which 

they broadcast live on their Facebook 

page. They continued their 

regular programming on the 

radio, with quick check ins from 

the radio station about how the 

drive was doing, but McAuliffe 

marveled at the response they 

got when they went live on Facebook 

for their shopping sprees in 

Target. 

“Social media was amazing,” 

Auger recalled. “The Facebook 

live shares went through the 

roof—we had fun with it.” He

continued, “Our whole staff 

came down, volunteers showed 

up to help us collect and stack the 

toys, and to help with the shopping 

sprees. I admit I was building 

up sympathy (for staying up 

all night) but the truth is, we had 

a blast. We had hand warmers, 

pillows, blankets, and a lot of 

people came to see that we were 

all right. People brought us food 

and we stayed on social media all 

night. We got very little sleep. Resellables

During the event MyFM 

101.3 continued to encourage 

donations, which they broadcast 

over social media as Facebook 

live shopping sprees. When all 

was said and done, Auger figures 

they collected about 3,000 toys, 

about $60,000 worth of toys, 

which were donated to the U.S. 

Marines Toys for Tots. Auger 

noted, “We had to get Tony 

Gallo of Gallo Moving and Storage 

to come over to help collect 

all the toys. We gave the Marines 

a heads up about the success of 

the drive, and Lance Corporal 

Mike Shea just kept shaking his 

head, saying they’d never had 

such a response like this. 

McAuliffe says they are already 

making plans for next year. 

“It was one of the most amazing 

things we’ve ever done,” he 

said shortly after the event, still 

somewhat groggy from lack of 

sleep. “I’ll catch up on sleep by 

January,” he laughed. “We had 

planned to stuff the bus with the 

toys and join the Milford Santa 

Parade but there were just too 

many toys, so we took a few of 

the stuffed animals and stuck 

them in the bus and headed 

over to join the parade that Sunday 

afternoon. So many people 

stopped us along the parade 

route to thank us and tell us what 

a great thing this was. There are 

so many worthy charities out 

there. This was like a scene out 

of the movie It’s a Wonderful 

Life.” 

Reflecting on the entire event, 

McAuliffe said, “You know, we 

don’t do this for the headlines, 

but by the time we saw how people 

were responding, we wanted 

to reach out to be sure people 

knew what had happened. The 

best thing about owning a local 

radio station is that I can do what 

feels right. Local radio is still 

making a difference.”

Millis Lions Club Had a Busy December 

Held Frosty 5K, 48th Senior Citizen Holiday Dinner 

& Honored 50-Year Member David Noon 

The Millis Lions Club had a 

busy December in 2017. 

On December 3, The Millis 

Lions Club held their first annual 

Frosty 5K run/walk to raise 

money for local Millis Lions Club 

charities to support those in need 

in Millis. 

The race, co-sponsored by 

Encompass Fitness, started at 9 

a.m., with more than 40+ participants 

making their way through 

the back streets of town dressed 

in their best and silliest holiday 

attire. This year’s race winners 

were C.J. Stapels in first place 

with Gene Storbeck second and 

Gary Pollak coming in third. In 

the children’s category Noah 

Dayhoff was the winner with 

Ella Maher coming in second 

and Dillon and Ryan Fitzgerald 

tying for third. Best holiday 

costume was won by the mother 

and son team of Delia and Erin 

LeBlanc. 

On December 5th, the Millis 

Lions Club had the pleasure of 

celebrating Lion David Noon for 

his 50 years of service in the Millis 

Lions Club. 

With family, friends and Lions 

from Millis and many other communities, 

Massachusetts Lions’ 

District 33K Governor, Margaret 

Menard, presented Dave with a 

plaque acknowledging his dedication 

to the Lions and to the 

community of Millis. 

Noon, (a former Millis resident, 

now residing in Maine), 

joined the Millis Lions Club in 

October of 1967. Since then, 

Dave has been a dedicated and 

active Lion, responsible for spearheading 

many of the events and 

The Millis Lions worked to host their 48 th annual Senior Citizen Holiday 

Dinner on December 10 th , 2017, with help from the Millis Leo’s Club, 

the MHS Art Club, MHS Band and MHS Chorus and several generous 

sponsors in town. 

fundraisers that have allowed the 

Millis Lions to help the citizens 

of Millis and others around the 

world. Dave is also an associate 

member of the Medway Lions 

Club, helping to form that club in 

December of 1982. Dave served 

as Club president in 1981-1982, 

was Lion of the Year in 1975 

and was awarded a Melvin Jones 

Fellowship, the highest honor in 

Lions, in 1996. The Club honored 

Dave with a Lifetime membership 

in 2005. 

“Dave defines what it means 

to be a Lion. His dedication to 

the community of Millis and to 

Lionism is unmatched. He has 

been an inspiration to Lions 

members in this Club, and in 

Clubs all over the district,” said 

District Governor, Margaret Menard 

(Hyde Park Lions Club). 

At Dave’s side every step of 

the way has been his loving wife, 

Carole. In 2016, Dave and Carole 

retired to Maine to enjoy the 

seashore and to be close to their 

children and grandchildren. 

On Sunday, December 10th, 

The Millis Lions Club held their 

annual Senior Citizen Holiday 

Dinner and the Millis High 

School. This annual event of the 

Millis Lions Club is held each 

December and is open to any 

resident of Millis over the age of 

60. There is no charge for the 

meal. 

More than 140+ guests dined 

on a delicious pork roast complimented 

by baked apples and 

squash, red bliss roasted potatoes 

courtesy of Ed Harutyunyan, 

owner of Budabings, and the 

afternoon was topped-off with 

delicious cake donated by Roche 

Brothers. 

For 48 years, this annual holiday 

meal has been prepared by 

the superb Millis Lions’ culinary 

staff, and served by Millis Lions 

dressed in black slacks, white 

shirts and holiday red cummerbunds. 

Assisting the Lions on 

Sunday were members of the 

Millis High School Leo Club, 

the youth arm of Lions Clubs 

Millis Lion David Noon was 

honored on December 5, 2017 for 

50 years of service with the Lions 

Club. 

International and members of 

the MHS student government. 

Decorations were provided by 

the MHS Art Club. The Millis 

High School Band and chorus 

performed holiday classics and 

the afternoon was concluded 

with an “Elfin Raffle.” 

“This is our Club’s favorite 

event. We all come together to 

bring joy and happiness to our 

seniors…, “ said Noreen Brown, 

Millis Lions Club president. 

The Millis Lions would like to 

extend a very special thank you to 

Dave DLaferrierre, manager of 

Ann and Hope, who donated a 

live 7’ Balsam Pine tree and stand 

for this event. The Millis Lions 

decorate the tree every year and 

donate the tree and trimmings to 

a family in need who lives in Millis; 

and to Roche Bros of Millis for 

their continued outstanding support 

and generosity. 

C.J. Stapels was the winner of the 

Millis Lions first “Frosty 5K” to 

benefit residents of the town in 

need. 

Where there’s a need, there’s 

a Lion. We believe that the world 

gets better and problems get 

smaller when people unite to 

serve their local and global communities. 

Lions help where help 

is needed - in our own communities 

and around the world - with 

unmatched integrity and energy.

to trim those pesky toenails. Diseases 

such as arthritis can make 

joints and bones stiff and can 

make an awkward position difficult, 

such as bringing your feet 

up for proper foot care. Poor vision 

also makes proper foot care 

hard. Dr. Cooper will be here on 

Wednesday, January 3rd from 

9-11 to trim your toenails for 

you. $30. at the Center and $50. 

for a home visit. Appointments

Norwood’s Entrance into The Tri Valley League Is Official 

By KEN HAMWEY, Staff 

Sports Writer 

A new year often comes with 

some change and that’s what 

schools in the Tri Valley League 

will experience when their sports 

schedules will include a new 

member. 

The athletic directors and 

the principals of the 11 schools 

in the TVL voted unanimously 

to accept Norwood as the 12th 

member of the circuit. Starting 

in September, Norwood will 

compete in the TVL’s Large Division 

and no longer be part of 

the Bay State Conference. 

“The addition of Norwood 

to the league is a win for both 

Norwood and the TVL,’’ said 

Mike Grimes, the Ashland athletic 

director. “This will not only 

strengthen the TVL, but also 

continue to increase the opportunities 

for our student-athletes 

in Ashland and throughout the 

league. 

“While coaching in Natick, I 

had the opportunity to compete 

against Norwood every year. I 

truly enjoyed traveling there because 

they were always gracious 

hosts and had well-kept athletic 

facilities. I look forward to working 

with their A.D., Jon Longley. 

He will be a great fit and a great 

addition among the other A.D.s 

within the league.’’ 

Holliston’s A.D., Matt Baker, 

also regards Norwood’s entrance 

as a major plus. “Lots of 

positives with Norwood entering 

the league,’’ he said. “This gets 

us back to an even number of 

teams with a perfect split for the

TVL Large and Small Divisions. 

I think they’re a good fit geographically 

and competitively. 

I’m looking forward to the future 

of our league with 12 teams and 

to start new rivalries and traditions 

with Norwood. 

Norwood’s School Committee 

got the ball rolling to leave 

the BSC when it voted, 3-2, for 

its athletic director to file an application 

for entrance into the 

TVL. The school’s enrollment 

was 957 for 2016-2017 and, with 

Dedham’s departure from the 

BSC and subsequent entrance 

into the TVL, Norwood became 

the smallest-enrolled school in 

the BSC. 

When the move to the TVL 

became official, Longley expressed 

delight that the Mustangs 

will be developing new 

relationships and new rivalries 

but he also noted that Norwood 

was leaving a first-class league. 

“We’re going from one excellent 

league to another,’’ he said. “The 

Bay State League is top-notch 

but our student-athletes now will 

have an opportunity to compete 

against schools that are similar to 

our size. We’ll be a good fit for 

the TVL, in terms of geography 

and enrollment.’’ 

Norwood’s relationship with 

Dedham will remain intact, especially 

in football where the 

two schools have been Thanksgiving 

rivals for decades. “Dedham 

has been our main rival in 

so many sports and now it’ll be 

exciting to reunite with them 

in a new league,’’ Longley said. 

“Dedham and Norwood will stay 

well-connected. Change often is 

accompanied with apprehension 

but a majority of our community 

supports the move. Once we get 

involved in competition, it should 

be a good fit.’’ 

Longley previously said that 

Norwood was outmatched in 

the BSC and could not compete 

with schools the size of Newton 

North, Wellesley, Needham and 

Natick. He also indicated that 

a poll of Norwood coaches revealed 

that 70 percent of those 

responding favored moving to 

the TVL. 

The TVL athletic directors invited 

Norwood officials to make 

a presentation for admission last 

September. Norwood will be the 

third largest-enrolled school in 

the TVL, trailing Hopkinton and 

Westwood. Norwood’s entry now 

gives the TVL 12 members, six 

in the large division and six in the 

small division. 

The TVL Large Division includes 

Holliston, Hopkinton, 

Westwood, Norton, Medfield and 

Norwood. The Small Division is 

composed of Millis, Medway, 

Bellingham, Dover-Sherborn, 

Ashland and Dedham. 

“Norwood provides great 

balance to the Tri Valley, particularly 

in light of Dedham’s 

addition,’’ said Bellingham A.D. 

Michael Connor. “Norwood will 

nicely round out the Tri Valley’s 

large-school division.’’ 

Medway High A.D. Rob 

Pearl, was on board as the TVL 

president when Dedham applied 

for entrance into the league 

and he’s pleased Norwood will 

round out the membership to 

a dozen participants. “To get 

to 12 schools is truly a benefit,’’ 

said Pearl. “It will make scheduling 

easier and also streamline it. 

Norwood seems like a good fit, 

both in terms of size and competitiveness.’’ 

Another A.D., Chuck Grant 

of Millis, also expressed a welcoming 

sentiment. “Norwood 

brings a state of the art facility 

coupled with a level of competition 

commensurate with our 

league. Their addition will enhance 

our scheduling as it will 

afford us two six-team divisions. 

We look forward to their entry 

into the TVL.’’ 

Lucas Giguere, Bellingham 

High’s principal, was pleased 

with the addition of Norwood. 

“We’re excited to welcome Norwood 

into the league,’’ he said. 

“Their community mirrors the 

other outstanding communities 

we have in the Tri Valley 

League.’’

Alex Olmsted Gives His All in Three Sports and in Studies 

By Christopher Tremblay 

With colleges looking much 

more closely at a student’s academic 

record as well as coaches 

looking for that specific athlete 

that has excelled in their sport 

before offering scholarships, it 

is not as likely to find that many 

three-sport athletes on the high 

school level as it has been in the 

past. Millis’ Alex Olmsted continues 

to give it everything that 

he has in three sports for the Mohawks. 

Olmsted has played wide receiver 

and corner back for the 

football team, power forward for 

the basketball team and left field 

for the baseball team over the 

past 5 years for the Mohawks. 

Originally, football was at the 

bottom of the list and a sport 

that Olmsted did not enjoy, but 

since he started playing on the 

high school level it has risen to 

the top. And although football 

is now his favorite of the three, 

Olmsted feels basketball is where 

he best excels. 

Growing up in Walpole Olmsted 

took to the three sports 

in town because his dad (Dale) 

was a coach, and it gave the two 

time to bond while on the playing 

fields. With his father being 

the head coach of the Millis football 

team Olmsted first decided 

to give football a chance when he 

was in elementary school, but it 

was not his idea of fun. 

“I tried playing football in 

the fifth grade, but I was just not 

thrilled with the game and didn’t 

really like it, possibly because I 

was much smaller than the others,” 

he said. “My dad never 

pushed me to play football; he 

just explained the game to me 

and allowed me to make my own 

decision and was supportive of 

whatever I decided to play.” 

Despite despising football as a 

fifth grader, Olmsted decided to 

give it another shot three years 

later. Although living in Walpole, 

Olmsted decided to attend Millis 

High School as a school choice, 

because his father coached there. 

“Once I got to Millis, I decided 

to give football another try, 

because my dad was the coach 

there,” he said. “The first time 

around I was not thrilled, but at 

Millis it was different. I was not 

Millis High’s three sport athlete and senior Alex Olmsted shows quiet 

poise and depth as a student and athlete. 

all that social, but Millis was a 

small school with a big family, 

and the football players accepted 

me.” 

Playing on the football team, 

Olmsted got to know all the football 

players before school started, 

which gave him a bit of an advantage 

once September rolled 

around. As an eighth grader, he 

played on a freshman team that 

didn’t win a single game, but the 

following year, the same team 

went undefeated. After playing 

for the junior varsity team as a 

sophomore, Olmsted was part of 

back-to-back Super Bowl Championships 

on the varsity level. 

“It’s crazy how we turned 

things around so quickly. It only 

goes to show that you should 

never give up and keep on fighting,” 

Olmsted said. “The only 

thing I regret is not getting the 

chance to play for my father (who 

had left to take a job with Nichols 

College); it was the main reason I 

decided to go to Millis.” 

Although he never got that 

chance, Olmsted feels grateful 

that he was part of the football 

team and what they achieved 

and the brotherhood of friends 

he now has. 

Unlike football, Olmsted enjoyed 

basketball and baseball 

right from the beginning. While 

the two sports have not had the 

success that the football team has 

achieved over the past few years 

he still enjoys playing the sports 

with his friends and teammates. 

As an eighth grader, Olmsted 

was still playing basketball in 

Walpole for the Metrowest team, 

but when he got to high school 

he joined the basketball team 

there in Millis. He played for the 

freshman team and junior varsity 

squad before getting moved 

up to the varsity team mid-way 

through his junior season. While 

he considered himself too small 

to originally play football, Olmsted 

had a growth spurt in high 

school which was definitely to his 

advantage on the court. 

“Basketball is probably my 

best sport, as I have been playing 

it the longest, and when I grew 

(Olmsted is 6’3”), it helped me 

with my game,” he said. “Finally 

getting the chance to play on a 

competitive level was great.” 

Last year, the Mohawks went 

13-7 and advanced to the Division 

4 Central Tournament 

where they were got as far as the 

Quarter Finals. It was here they 

were sent home by neighboring 

Hopedale. Olmsted is hoping 

that once he is cleared to play, 

he’ll be able to help the team get 

back to the tournament. 

“Having broken my collarbone 

in the first football playoff 

game, I’m hoping that I’ll 

be cleared to get back onto the 

basketball court soon, “Olmsted 

said. “I’m more of a 6th man at 

this point, but this year I’m going 

to be relied on for more rebounds 

and put-backs.” 

Having won the Super Bowl 

in football, and basketball looks 

to get back to the play-offs once 

again, baseball is up in the air. 

According to Olmsted, the team 

was not that strong last spring 

and he is unsure of how good 

they will be this year, but as a 

senior he’s not going to let that 

bother him. He’s going to go 

out and play the sport no matter 

what happens. 

“I’m not sure how this team is 

going to be this upcoming year, 

but I just want to go out and 

play,” he said. “I had primarily 

played the infield before being 

moved to the outfield, but I don’t 

care as long as I’m playing.” 

As his high school career is 

in its final year Olmsted looks to 

be having fun playing all three 

sports, despite the outcome of 

the seasons. 

“Alex has been a role player in 

all three sports and should be a 

main factor in both the upcoming 

basketball and baseball seasons,” 

Millis Athletic Director 

Chuck Grant said. “He’s a quiet 

senior that leads by example 

by staying active in school and 

earning honor roll grades. He is 

a clear example of someone enjoying 

every bit of his high school 

experience”

Register O’Donnell Warns 

Homeowners of Deed Scam 

Continuing his efforts to combat 

consumer fraud, Norfolk 

County Register of Deeds William 

P. O’Donnell is once again 

advising 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, 

“There is a California company 

that continues to send 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.” 

If you receive this scam deed 

solicitation notice, please contact 

the Registry’s Customer Service 

Center immediately at (781) 461- 

6101 or email 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.

some concerns with regards to 

real estate sales and lending activity 

for the month of November 

2017. 

O’Donnell noted, “November 

real estate sales, for both residential 

and commercial activity, were 

off by 3% from the previous year. 

A total of 1,512 property transactions 

were recorded versus 

1,563 in November 2016. 

“Additionally, the average sale 

price of residential and commercial 

property for the month 

was $638,120, a 12% reduction 

year over year. Also, total sales 

volume, again for both residential 

and commercial, was $619 

million, a 9% decrease from November 

2016. Clearly, the limited 

amount of available real estate 

inventory is having a drag on 

the real estate market in Norfolk 

County.” 

The story gets more sobering 

when we look at the lending market 

numbers in Norfolk County. 

“As we have seen for the last few 

months,” stated the Register, “the 

number of mortgages recorded 

during the month of November 

Carolyn Chodat 

Owner/Broker 

decreased by a significant 28%. 

Also, the total volume of mortgage 

financing, for both residential 

and commercial properties, 

came in at $1.1 billion, a 35% 

decrease year over year. There is 

no question consumers are being 

cautious when considering big 

ticket expenses. Furthermore, interest 

rates have crept up slightly, 

which have proven disconcerting 

to many homeowners interested 

in purchasing a home.” 

There was one major piece of 

positive news in the area of foreclosure 

activity where a total of 

13 foreclosure deeds were filed 

in November in comparison to 

19 filings in the same 2016 time 

period. However, on the other 

hand, a total of 125 Notice to 

Foreclose Mortgage documents, 

the first step in the foreclosure 

process, were recorded versus 

only 52 in November 2016.

Client Testimonial to Laina Kaplan: 

“Laina was such a joy to work with. We used her to both buy our home 

as well as list our starter home. She was able to get the house staged, 

and listed very quickly after reaching out to her. She was immediate with 

her feedback from open houses and always transparent to us. Our home 

had fallen through a few times but Laina always had a great attitude that 

our house would sell as well as helpful information on how to make the 

sale faster. I can’t thank her enough for the job she did through the roller 

coaster of the home buying and selling experience.”
