<strong>Millis</strong> Football Repeats<br />
Division 8 Championship<br />
By Christopher Tremblay<br />
Coming into the season, <strong>Millis</strong> Coach Dana<br />
Olson didn’t expect to repeat as Super Bowl<br />
Champions, but he did know he had a group of<br />
talented athletes returning. When the Mohawks<br />
lost their season opener, things didn’t look good,<br />
but the squad regrouped <strong>and</strong> went on a tear,<br />
winning 11 consecutive games to cap off the<br />
season with their second Super Bowl victory in<br />
as many years; this time at Gillette Stadium.<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> took home the Division 8 Championship<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ing Hoosac Valley their only loss of<br />
the season in a rout 37-0.<br />
“This win was a little more gratifying than<br />
last years. It was easier, as they knew what was<br />

expected of them having been their last year.<br />
The kids were super focused <strong>and</strong> ready for Hoosac,”<br />
Olson said. “We beat them up in all three<br />
phases of the game; the team kept their composure<br />
<strong>and</strong> acted like they’ve been there before.<br />
They represented their town with dignity, <strong>and</strong><br />
as a coach, I was extremely proud of them. The<br />

town should be ecstatic.”<br />
Over the last four seasons,<br />
Olson has guided the team to a<br />
37-11 record while capturing four<br />
straight South Sectional Titles, 3<br />
consecutive Tri-Valley League<br />
Championships <strong>and</strong> two Super<br />
Bowl victories. Senior quarterback<br />
Bryce Latosek was 8-12 for<br />
164 yards passing, connecting on<br />
three touchdown passes <strong>and</strong> ran<br />
for another. Last year in the Division<br />
4A Super Bowl victory the<br />
senior was 18-30 for 310 yards<br />
<strong>and</strong> 4 touchdowns. Latosek has<br />
tossed 65 touchdowns over the<br />
past two seasons, including 35<br />
this year.<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> went into the half with<br />
a 24-0 lead scoring on all four<br />
first half possessions. Raymond<br />
Hilaire was the first Mohawk<br />
to reach the end zone on a 37-<br />
yard touchdown pass from Lsatosek.<br />
Dominic Zonfrelli added a<br />
6-yard run, Chris Edwards had<br />
a 32-yeard field goal <strong>and</strong> Andrew<br />
Brooks connected with the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> quarterback on a 50-yard<br />
touchdown to close out the half.<br />
Latosek would add a 10-yard<br />
touchdown run <strong>and</strong> connected<br />
again with Brooks for a 14-yard<br />
score to round out the scoring.<br />
On the ground, Kurt Hopkins<br />
rushed for a 185 yards on<br />
25 carries <strong>and</strong> despite not getting<br />
into the end zone his dominant<br />
running set up the <strong>Millis</strong> passing<br />
attack. Hopkins’ 185 yards were<br />
the largest total allowed by the<br />
Hurricanes to a single rusher all<br />
season long.<br />
“We took what was given<br />
to us. Kurt established the run<br />
which opened up the passing<br />
lanes <strong>and</strong> Bryce took advantage<br />
of that,” the Mohawk Coach<br />
said. “They (Hoosac) scored<br />
76 points the week before <strong>and</strong><br />
scored 500 points on the season<br />
an average of 47 per game.<br />
Shutting them out was a testament<br />
to our defense; one that is<br />
top notch, but gets overlooked<br />
because of our offense. They’re<br />
probably the best I have ever had<br />
in my coaching career.”<br />
In the win, <strong>Millis</strong> not only<br />
shut down Hoosac’s dominant<br />
run game but outplayed the Hurricanes<br />
in just about every facet<br />
of the game. <strong>Millis</strong> had 21 fists<br />
downs to Hoosac’s 7; out rushed<br />
the Hurricanes 225 – 121, passed<br />
for 164 yards holding Hoosac to<br />
60 while the Hurricanes also lost<br />
two fumbles.<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Project 351 Ambassador<br />
Gives Back to Community<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
He’s been a Project 351 Ambassador<br />
since this past spring.<br />
Joseph Scolpinetti, a freshman<br />
at <strong>Millis</strong> High School, was nominated<br />
by Maureen Knowlton,<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Middle School principal,<br />
at the beginning of 2017, in his<br />
8th grade year, to be an ambassador<br />
for <strong>Millis</strong> for the Commonwealth’s<br />
Project 351. Scolpinetti<br />
joined 8th graders across the<br />
state in a leadership position<br />
where they would work on service<br />
projects that included kindness,<br />
compassion, humility <strong>and</strong><br />
gratitude.<br />
Scolpinetti most recently collected<br />
89 canned goods <strong>and</strong><br />
$250 in donations for the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Food Pantry. He conducted the<br />
food drive at the Middle School,<br />
<strong>and</strong> collected for the <strong>Millis</strong> Food<br />
Pantry at the <strong>Millis</strong> High School<br />
Football team’s Superbowl championship<br />
game at Gillette Stadium.<br />
“I never knew how much I<br />
could impact my community before<br />
I became a part of Project<br />
351,” says Scolpinetti. “It has<br />
been a wonderful experience,<br />
<strong>and</strong> I am proud <strong>and</strong> honored to<br />
do it again next year.”<br />
The student’s first large service<br />
project was a yard sale he<br />
held at his home. He collected<br />
$520 dollars from that, using the<br />
funds to purchase food for homeless<br />
veterans from BJ’s. Secondly,<br />
Scolpinetti held a clothing drive<br />
for Cradles to Crayons, which<br />
resulted in a truckload of donations.<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Historic Commission Meets with GAF to<br />
Encourage Preservation<br />
On December 14th, the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Historical Commission met<br />
with a representative of GAF at<br />
the <strong>Millis</strong> Town Hall. The commission<br />
hopes to work with the<br />
company in saving most or all<br />
of the historic structure, built in<br />
1889, at 60 Curve Street, as the<br />
building is being considered by<br />
the company for demolition. The<br />
GAF representative indicated<br />
that the company might be willing<br />
to work with the town, cost<br />
permitting considering cleanup<br />
of the site, to preserve some of<br />
the structure. Participants in<br />
the discussion made suggestions<br />
about a possible request at next<br />
Town Meeting to re-zone the<br />
property in order to attract more<br />
interest in the property by prospective<br />
businesses.<br />

Treat the symptom, or treat the person?<br />
At The Balanced Path Wellness<br />
Center in <strong>Medway</strong>, clients<br />
can expect an approach that<br />
not only identifies root causes of<br />
their issues, but that goes beyond<br />
Western medical approaches to<br />
examine <strong>and</strong> improve their overall<br />
function <strong>and</strong> well-being. Cynthia<br />
Meeske, LICSW, CRMT<br />
<strong>and</strong> Paul Gerst L.Ac. Acupuncturist<br />
& Natural Health Practitioner<br />
have combined their unique<br />
experience <strong>and</strong> techniques to effectively<br />
address mind, body <strong>and</strong><br />
spirit.<br />
Paul Gerst L.Ac. is a licensed<br />
Acupuncturist <strong>and</strong> Natural<br />
Health Practitioner practicing<br />
for over 20 years. With his skill<br />
in the use of Neuro-Tapping<br />
<strong>and</strong> AK Techniques: Neurolink,<br />
NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique)<br />
<strong>and</strong> Nutrition Response<br />
Testing, he’s helped many people<br />
overcome difficult-to-treat,<br />
chronic health issues. A Certified<br />
Professional Mediator <strong>and</strong> certified<br />
Meditation Trainer, Paul<br />
has taught classes to the general<br />
public <strong>and</strong> other practitioners for<br />
over 10 years. A published author<br />
<strong>and</strong> speaker, Gerst has been<br />
featured on radio shows, medical<br />
conferences <strong>and</strong> has produced<br />
his own cable television show,<br />
“Health, Naturally.”<br />
Cindy Meeske has practiced<br />
in the mental health field for 18<br />
years <strong>and</strong> has seven years’ experience<br />
as a Reiki practitioner.<br />
Cindy’s eclectic approach with<br />
clients of all ages combines Cognitive<br />
Behavioral Therapy with<br />
mindfulness, meditation techniques<br />
<strong>and</strong> energy work.<br />
“There is a place for each type<br />
of modality depending on what<br />
people need,” says Meeske.<br />
The Balanced Path Wellness<br />
Center is the realization<br />
of Meeske’s vision of bringing<br />
different modalities together.<br />
Meeske’s <strong>and</strong> Gerst’s different<br />
tools <strong>and</strong> experience offer clients<br />
a new depth of options.<br />
“We can refer to each other,”<br />
she says. “Someone might come<br />
to me for therapy issues, but<br />
maybe Paul can help them with<br />
something I can’t. We can come<br />
at it from different angles, <strong>and</strong><br />
they can benefit from that.”<br />
“It’s a round table approach<br />
to health care,” says Paul, “<strong>and</strong><br />
there’s a comfort in knowing the<br />

Steve Bullock<br />
person you’re referring to <strong>and</strong><br />
how they work.”<br />
Gerst explains that the Western<br />
approach to medicine tends<br />
to look at the mechanical, while<br />
he looks at function. “When the<br />
function is interrupted, or diminished,<br />
a number of the things on<br />
the outside of the body can happen.”<br />
The way to get to the root<br />
of a problem, he says, is to underst<strong>and</strong><br />
all the causes of a disease<br />
<strong>and</strong> the signs they manifest<br />
in the body <strong>and</strong> in the spirit.<br />
Getting to know their clients is<br />
how both practitioners work best.<br />
“We’re both adept at reading<br />
people,” says Gerst. His own assessment<br />
might look at “posture,<br />
color of skin, expressions of the<br />
face, the tongue, body shape,”<br />
while Meeske’s considers psychological<br />
manifestations of problems.<br />
“People come in with real layered<br />
issues, <strong>and</strong> my paperwork is<br />
asking for all of their medical diagnoses,<br />
their complaints, fettering<br />
out all our different systems<br />
in the body,” says Gerst. Often,<br />
he says, a patient will note that<br />
his treatment has resolved an<br />
issue they didn’t even mention.<br />
“A patient will say, ‘my allergies<br />
are better, what did you do?’<br />
And I’ll say, ‘why didn’t you tell<br />
me you had allergies?’ That further<br />
validates what we do, the<br />
idea that you’re not treating a<br />
disease, you’re treating a person,”<br />
says Gerst, who offers both<br />
individual as well as more cost-effective<br />
group sessions. “A Patient-<br />
Centered vs. a Disease-Centered<br />
approach,” he says, “is going to<br />
help (people with chronic health<br />
issues) far more than going on<br />
medications.”<br />
Meeske turned to energy<br />
medicine when she became disenchanted<br />
with trends she saw<br />
in mental health medicine. She<br />
didn’t believe in diagnosing <strong>and</strong><br />
medicating patients too soon.<br />
Reiki resonated with her, because<br />
“I was always a believer that our<br />
energy fields hold the physical,<br />
mental, emotional, <strong>and</strong> spiritual.<br />
Say we have an emotional issue,<br />
<strong>and</strong> as a result, there’s a physical<br />
ailment that goes with it. We<br />
need to treat the body as a whole<br />
energy to (treat it). (Energy) connects<br />
all things,” she says. Meeske<br />
uses a “h<strong>and</strong>s-above” approach<br />
to Reiki for the comfort of her<br />
clients who may not want to be<br />
touched.<br />
Gerst, too, found that his career<br />
path veered from traditional<br />
western medicine. “The more I<br />
learned about western medicine,<br />
the less I wanted to be a part<br />
of it,” he says. “Although, there<br />
are some things they can do<br />
that nobody else can do, such as<br />
emergency, surgical <strong>and</strong> genetic<br />
medicine, they treat chronic disease<br />
poorly.”<br />
Gerst finds a reward in helping<br />
patients resolve issues. “If you<br />
can identify what they’re doing<br />
that they shouldn’t be doing, <strong>and</strong><br />
what they’re not doing that they<br />
should, it’s amazing how many<br />
times the body will heal itself,<br />
when people were told by western<br />
medical doctors they’d have<br />
to live with it the rest of their<br />
lives.”<br />
Meeske finds a similar satisfaction<br />
in her work, creating a<br />
rapport <strong>and</strong> safe space to facilitate<br />
her clients on their journeys<br />
toward healthy relationships, fulfilling<br />
lives after depression, <strong>and</strong><br />
dissipation of symptoms of such<br />
issues as PTSD. “I can see that<br />
progression, <strong>and</strong> that’s rewarding,”<br />
she says.<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Fund to Launch Annual<br />
Fund Drive<br />
By J.D. O’Gara<br />
What does it mean to help<br />
your neighbor?<br />
Organizers of the <strong>Millis</strong> Fund<br />
know it as being there to help<br />
your neighbors in their time of<br />
need. In fact, that’s just why the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Fund was created. The<br />
small nonprofit has helped over<br />
400 families out of critical financial<br />
crises, due to such issues as illness,<br />
accidents, <strong>and</strong> family issues,<br />
since it was begun 23 years ago,<br />
says Brooks Corl, who is entering<br />
his 19th year as treasurer for the<br />
organization.<br />
Established in 1994, the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Fund was created by volunteers<br />
from four houses of worship in<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> –St. Thomas the Apostle<br />
Parish, Ael Chunon Congregation,<br />
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church<br />
(which is now closed) <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Church of Christ, Congregational.<br />
The fund is supported through<br />
private donations to provide<br />
emergency financial aid to <strong>Millis</strong><br />
residents, for such items as rent,<br />
utilities, medical costs, fuel, clothing<br />
<strong>and</strong> other emergency needs.<br />
“The <strong>Millis</strong> Fund helps <strong>Millis</strong><br />
families with financial emergencies<br />
- usually arising from<br />
something unexpected <strong>and</strong> shortterm,”<br />
says Corl.” It’s everything;<br />
it’s rent, it’s medical, it’s utilities<br />
– when utilities become futilities.”<br />
Corl adds that many events<br />
can contribute to a sudden emergency<br />
need.<br />
“It’s not hard for an illness,<br />
an accident, or some other sort<br />
of financial emergency or family<br />
problem, things that are generally<br />
very much unforeseeable, to<br />
tip the scales,” he says.<br />
Corl points out that some<br />
founding principles of the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Fund are complete confidentiality<br />
for the family needing help,<br />
that the fund pays the creditor<br />
owed, that it does not help any<br />
family more than once per year,<br />
(<strong>and</strong> rarely would it support any<br />
one family more than three times<br />
overall,) <strong>and</strong> that The <strong>Millis</strong> Fund<br />
is designed to relieve temporary<br />
financial emergencies only, not<br />
chronic needs.<br />
The nine members of the<br />
Board of Directors meet about<br />
four or five times a year to plan<br />
the fund drive, create the materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> review the applications.<br />
The annual mailing is also<br />
donated, so just about all of the<br />
funds donated to The <strong>Millis</strong> Fund<br />
benefit <strong>Millis</strong> residents. Board<br />
members take care to personally<br />
contact each applicant.<br />
Corl says the fund helped<br />
about 16 families in town last<br />
year, always by paying the<br />
creditor(s) directly rather than<br />
giving money to the applicant. At<br />
its onset, the <strong>Millis</strong> Fund helped<br />
about 8-10 families a year, but the<br />
number of families, in the teens,<br />
has remained steady in the past<br />
few years.<br />
“The average need has continued<br />
to rise a bit year to year. Living<br />
in general has gotten more<br />
expensive, even for a small town<br />
like <strong>Millis</strong>,” says Corl.<br />
This month, the <strong>Millis</strong> Fund<br />
holds its annual drive, <strong>and</strong> then<br />
on the second Sunday in February,<br />
“Souper Sunday,” a soup<br />
bowl is literally passed through<br />
places of worship to gather contributions<br />
for the fund.<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> residents can apply for<br />
assistance with a simple, one-page<br />
application, up to once a year.<br />
These are available at the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Senior Center or the Church of<br />
Christ (Congregational) at 142<br />
Exchange St., says Corl, neither<br />
of which is affiliated with the organization.<br />
If you would like to help your<br />
fellow residents in need, you can<br />
send your donation to:<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Fund, 142 Exchange<br />
Street, <strong>Millis</strong>, MA 02054.<br />
The fund is a 501 (c3) organization<br />
<strong>and</strong> will provide a letter<br />
of thanks, which could serve as a<br />
receipt.<br />
Yoga are powerful yet regulated<br />
from within, individually.<br />
A person grows at their own<br />
pace. That’s what makes it so effective.<br />
Whether you or a loved<br />
one need to break a persistent<br />
behavior pattern, or you would<br />
like to support a friend or loved<br />
one, this course is for you,” explained<br />

Living Healthy<br />
Dry Eye Syndrome<br />
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,<br />
Milford Franklin Eye Center<br />
If you find yourself using artificial<br />
tears often, like when you<br />
are checking e-mail or going<br />
outdoors for a run, it may mean<br />
you have a disease called Dry<br />
Eye Syndrome.<br />
Dry Eye Syndrome, also<br />
known by the medical name<br />
keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a<br />
condition in which there are insufficient<br />
tears to lubricate <strong>and</strong><br />
nourish the eye. Tears are necessary<br />
for maintaining the health<br />
of the front surface of the eye<br />
<strong>and</strong> for providing clear vision.<br />
People with dry eyes either do<br />
not produce enough tears or<br />
have a poor quality of tears. Dry<br />
Eye Syndrome is a common <strong>and</strong><br />
often chronic problem, particularly<br />
in older adults. This is even<br />
more common these days, with<br />
our harsh winters <strong>and</strong> dry cold<br />
air.<br />
With each blink of the eyelids,<br />
tears are spread across the<br />
front surface of the eye, known<br />
as the cornea. Tears provide<br />
lubrication, reduce the risk of<br />
eye infection, wash away foreign<br />
matter in the eye, <strong>and</strong> keep the<br />
surface of the eyes smooth <strong>and</strong><br />
clear. Excess tears in the eyes<br />
flow into small drainage ducts,<br />
in the inner corners of the eyelids,<br />
which drain in the back of<br />
the nose.<br />
Dry eyes can result from either<br />
inadequate tear production<br />
or poor quality of tears.<br />
Inadequate amount of tears –<br />
Tears are produced by several<br />
gl<strong>and</strong>s in <strong>and</strong> around the eyelids.<br />
Optical<br />
Shop<br />
On-Site<br />
Tear production tends to diminish<br />
with age, with various medical<br />
conditions, or as a side effect<br />
of certain medicines. When the<br />
normal amount of tear production<br />
decreases or tears evaporate<br />
too quickly from the eyes (wind,<br />
dry environment) symptoms of<br />
dry eye can develop.<br />
Poor quality of tears – Tears<br />
are made up of three layers: oil,<br />
water, <strong>and</strong> mucus. If the tears<br />
evaporate too quickly or do not<br />
spread evenly over the cornea<br />
due to deficiencies with any of<br />
the three tear layers, dry eye<br />
symptoms can develop.<br />
People with dry eyes may<br />
experience symptoms of irritated,<br />
gritty, scratchy, or burning<br />
eyes, a feeling of something<br />
in their eyes, excess watering,<br />
<strong>and</strong> blurred vision. Advanced<br />
dry eyes may damage the front<br />
surface of the eye <strong>and</strong> impair vision.<br />
Treatments for dry eyes aim<br />
to restore or maintain the normal<br />
amount of tears in the eye<br />
to minimize dryness <strong>and</strong> related<br />
discomfort <strong>and</strong> to maintain eye<br />
health.<br />
What causes dry eyes?<br />
The majority of people over<br />
the age of 65 experience some<br />
symptoms of dry eyes.<br />
The development of dry eyes<br />
can have many causes. They include:<br />
Age – dry eye is a part of<br />
the natural aging process. The<br />
majority of people over age 65<br />
experience some symptoms of<br />
dry eyes.<br />

Excellent Eye Care for the Entire Family<br />
Gender – women are more<br />
likely to develop dry eyes due<br />
to hormonal changes caused by<br />
pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives,<br />
<strong>and</strong> menopause.<br />
Medications – antihistamines,<br />
decongestants, blood pressure<br />
medications <strong>and</strong> antidepressants<br />
can reduce the amount of tears<br />
produced in the eyes.<br />
Medical conditions – persons<br />
with rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes<br />
<strong>and</strong> thyroid problems are<br />
more likely to have symptoms<br />
of dry eyes. Also, problems with<br />
inflammation of the eyelid margin<br />
(blepharitis), inflammation<br />
of the surfaces of the eye, or<br />
the inward or outward turning<br />
of eyelids can cause dry eyes to<br />
develop.<br />
Environmental conditions –<br />
exposure to smoke, wind <strong>and</strong><br />
dry climates can increase tear<br />
evaporation resulting in dry<br />
eye symptoms. Failure to blink<br />
regularly, such as when staring<br />
at a computer screen for long<br />
periods of time, can also contribute<br />
to drying of the eyes.<br />
If your house uses dry heat or<br />
a wood burning stove, you are<br />
at a higher risk as humidity will<br />
be down <strong>and</strong> evaporation of the<br />
eye tear film increases.<br />
Other factors – long term use<br />
of contact lenses can be a factor<br />
in the development of dry eyes.<br />
Refractive eye surgeries, such as<br />
LASIK, can cause the same.<br />

examination <strong>and</strong> testing of the<br />
quantity <strong>and</strong> quality of tears<br />
produced by the eyes.<br />
How do we treat dry<br />
eyes?<br />
One of the primary approaches<br />
used to manage <strong>and</strong><br />
treat mild cases of dry eyes is<br />
adding tears using over-thecounter<br />
artificial tear solutions.<br />
Dry eyes can be a chronic<br />
condition. The primary approaches<br />
used to manage <strong>and</strong><br />
treat dry eyes include adding<br />
tears, conserving tears, increasing<br />
tear production, <strong>and</strong> treating<br />
the inflammation of the eyelids<br />
or eye surface that contributes to<br />
the dry eyes.<br />
Adding tears – Mild cases<br />
of dry eyes can often be managed<br />
using over-the-counter artificial<br />
tear solutions. These can<br />
be used as often as needed to<br />
supplement natural tear production.<br />
Preservative-free artificial<br />
tear solutions are recommended<br />
because they contain fewer additives<br />
that could further irritate<br />
the eyes.<br />
Conserving tears – An additional<br />
approach to reducing the<br />
symptoms of dry eyes is to keep<br />
natural tears in the eyes longer.<br />
This can be done by blocking<br />
the tear ducts through which the<br />
tears normally drain. The goal is<br />
to keep the available tears in the<br />
eye longer to reduce problems<br />
related to dry eyes.<br />
Increasing tear production –<br />
Prescription eye drops that help<br />
to increase production of tears<br />
can be recommended, as well as<br />
omega-3 fatty acid nutritional<br />
supplements like fish oil <strong>and</strong> flax<br />
seed oil.<br />
Treatment of the contributing<br />
eyelid or ocular surface inflammation<br />
– Prescription eye<br />
drops or ointments, warm compresses<br />
<strong>and</strong> lid scrubs, or eyelid<br />
cleaners may be recommended<br />
to help decrease inflammation<br />
around the surface of the eyes.<br />
More advanced treatment<br />
for dry eye syndrome: Recently,<br />
Xiidra (lifitegrast) has been approved<br />
for treatment of dry<br />
eye syndrome. Xiidra works by<br />
blocking a certain protein on<br />
the surface of cells in your eyes.<br />
This protein can cause your eyes<br />
to not produce enough tears, or<br />
to produce tears that are not the<br />
correct consistency to keep your<br />
eyes healthy. Restasis (cyclosporine)<br />
is another medication<br />
available. Restasis is a prescription<br />
eye drop that helps patients<br />
increase their eyes’ natural ability<br />
to produce tears by reducing<br />
ocular surface inflammation that<br />
contributes to dry eye syndrome.<br />
What are some steps<br />
one can take to reduce<br />
symptoms of dry eye?<br />
Remember to blink regularly<br />
when reading or staring at a<br />
computer screen for long periods<br />
of time.<br />
Get a humidifier at work <strong>and</strong><br />
at home, particularly during the<br />
dry winter months.<br />
Wear sunglasses outdoors,<br />
particularly those with wrap<br />
around frame design, to reduce<br />
exposure to drying winds <strong>and</strong><br />
sun.<br />
Use nutritional supplements<br />
containing omega-3 fatty acid<br />
like fish oil <strong>and</strong> flax seed oil.<br />
Dry Eye Syndrome is very<br />
common. Our center <strong>and</strong> ophthalmologists<br />
have state of the<br />
art equipment to diagnose <strong>and</strong><br />
treat many eye problems, including<br />
dry eyes. With a full time<br />
specialist in cornea <strong>and</strong> external<br />
diseases, we are now a referral<br />
center for difficult cases of dry<br />
eyes. With our knowledge <strong>and</strong><br />
experience, we can manage this<br />
problem <strong>and</strong> continue our mission<br />
to provide world class eye<br />
care for the entire family.<br />

A Year in Review: <strong>Medway</strong> 2017<br />
By David Pasquantonio<br />
It was a busy year in <strong>Medway</strong>,<br />
said Michael Boynton, <strong>Medway</strong>’s<br />
town administrator, as he<br />
reviewed the town’s 2017 highlights<br />
<strong>and</strong> accomplishments, but<br />
it was also a good year.<br />
Perhaps the biggest news, <strong>and</strong><br />
the item with the most future financial<br />
impact, was the final approval<br />
of the expansion of the<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Exelon plant on Summer<br />
Street. This will result in an<br />
estimated $3.8 million annual<br />
payment, in lieu of taxes, to the<br />
town starting in FY 2019. Boynton<br />
said that the town is looking<br />
at minimal staff expansion,<br />
instead slotting money towards<br />
various education <strong>and</strong> infrastructure<br />
needs, along with residential<br />
tax relief.<br />
The $10 million Route 109<br />
redesign project is finishing up<br />
another year. Although some of<br />
the more complex work has been<br />
completed, there’s still plenty to<br />
come in <strong>2018</strong>, including work at<br />
two Main Street intersections, at<br />
Franklin <strong>and</strong> Holliston streets. “I<br />
would say that there have been<br />
no surprises,” said Boynton, adding<br />
that the town has worked<br />
hard to minimize delays.<br />
Traffic has ramped up on<br />
other key streets, including Village<br />
Street, as drivers seek alternative<br />
routes. Boynton said<br />
that the town has ramped up<br />
traffic enforcement as a result.<br />
New speed limit signs on Village<br />
Street have sprung up in the past<br />
few weeks. Beyond the ongoing<br />
Shown is Michael Boynton, <strong>Medway</strong> Town Administrator.<br />
Route 109 project, improvements<br />
were made to many local roads,<br />
including sidewalks at Saddle<br />
Hill Road, in efforts to enhance<br />
road <strong>and</strong> pedestrian safety.<br />
The fire department added<br />
four personnel while continuing<br />
its move towards providing Advanced<br />
Life Support services in<br />
its ambulances. Four additional<br />
hires will start in the department<br />
on <strong>January</strong> 1, thanks to a Staffing<br />
for Adequate Fire <strong>and</strong> Emergency<br />
Response (SAFER) grant,<br />
Boynton said.<br />
The police department bid<br />
goodbye to four retiring officers:<br />
Lt. William Boultenhouse,<br />
Det. Donald Grimes, Officer<br />
David McRoberts, <strong>and</strong> Officer<br />
Richard Simard. Lt. David Mc-<br />
Sweeney <strong>and</strong> Sgt. John Meincke<br />
were promoted, <strong>and</strong> the department<br />
added four graduates.<br />
The <strong>Medway</strong> Oak Grove<br />
Urban Renewal Plan received<br />
the needed local <strong>and</strong> state approvals<br />
for the <strong>Medway</strong> Redevelopment<br />
Authority to begin work<br />
on the “bottle cap lots” <strong>and</strong> a<br />
few other adjoining parcels. For<br />
those unaware of why this project<br />
has such an interesting name,<br />
here’s some information from<br />
the town’s website: “The Bottle<br />
Cap lots derive their name from<br />
a 1920’s marketing promotion by<br />
Clicquot Club, which awarded<br />
small parcels to customers with<br />
winning bottle cap lots. There<br />
were originally approximately<br />
1,018 Bottle Cap lots with an<br />
average size of approximately<br />
1,600 square feet <strong>and</strong> dimensions<br />
of approximately 80 feet by<br />
20 feet. The ownership of many<br />

A Step Forward,<br />
with a Look Back<br />
As <strong>2018</strong> begins, Local Town Pages took<br />
a journey at the issues <strong>and</strong><br />
accomplishments at the forefront of<br />
both <strong>Medway</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Millis</strong>.<br />
of the lots has been consolidated<br />
over the years, but the configuration<br />
of many small, irregularly<br />
shaped lots with multiple owners<br />
remains a significant obstacle to<br />
redevelopment of the area.”<br />
In development news, in May,<br />
the Zoning Board of Appeals<br />
granted a comprehensive permit<br />
for Timber Crest Estates,<br />
which will add about 150 units<br />
of rental-affordable housing to<br />
the town. In August, the board<br />
granted a permit for Glen Brook<br />
Way, which will add another 48<br />
units, <strong>and</strong> Boynton said that this<br />
brings the affordable housing<br />
total to about 7.2% of the town’s<br />
housing stock. The town also<br />
continued work towards final approval<br />
of Salmon Health’s Willows<br />
at <strong>Medway</strong>, the 57-acre,<br />
200-unit adult retirement community<br />
slated for Village Street.<br />
At the fall town meeting, voters<br />
approved a comprehensive<br />
playground plan for Choate Park<br />
<strong>and</strong> Oakl<strong>and</strong> Park <strong>and</strong> improved<br />
tennis courts for the middle<br />
school. The plan was the result<br />
of much hard work from the<br />
Evaluation of Parks, Fields, <strong>and</strong><br />
Recreational Areas Committee,<br />
Boynton said, adding, “EPFRAC<br />
did a wonderful job.” Work will<br />
commence in the spring.<br />
In Department of Public Services<br />
news, after former DPS director<br />
Thomas Holder resigned<br />
in late 2016 to take a position in<br />
Wayl<strong>and</strong>, deputy director Dave<br />
D’Amico was named director,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Barry Smith, the former<br />
water <strong>and</strong> sewer superintendent,<br />
was named deputy director.<br />
In the spring, <strong>Medway</strong> unveiled<br />
an upgraded partnership<br />
with Cleargov.com, a website<br />
that uses snappy graphics to<br />
provide a snapshot of the town’s<br />
budget, population, <strong>and</strong> median<br />
home prices, among other stats,<br />
<strong>and</strong> allows residents to compare<br />
how their town stacks up against<br />
similar municipalities.<br />
The town said goodbye to a<br />
longtime building. In April, selectman<br />
voted to raze the former<br />
St. Joseph’s Men’s Club building<br />
behind Town Hall <strong>and</strong> the<br />
fire department, with plans to<br />
turn the ensuing space into additional<br />
parking. The building was<br />
deemed a structural hazard, <strong>and</strong><br />
mailings to the listed club trustees<br />
were returned by the post office.<br />
Boynton has been the <strong>Medway</strong><br />
town administrator for<br />
about three <strong>and</strong> half years, <strong>and</strong><br />
previously held stints in Mendon,<br />
Sutton, <strong>and</strong> Walpole.<br />

A Year in Review: <strong>Millis</strong> 2017<br />
By David Pasquantonio<br />
The biggest issue in 2017<br />
in <strong>Millis</strong>, <strong>and</strong> certainly the one<br />
most discussed by residents, was<br />
the new school, but there were<br />
many other newsworthy items<br />
<strong>and</strong> accomplishments. Town<br />
Administrator Michael Guzinski<br />
<strong>and</strong> Selectman James McCaffrey<br />
reviewed <strong>Millis</strong>’s 2017 key happenings<br />
in a recent interview.<br />
On December 8, a groundbreaking<br />
ceremony marked the<br />
official start of construction for an<br />
elementary school to replace the<br />
aging Clyde F. Brown Elementary<br />
School. Voters approved an<br />
override at the spring town meeting,<br />
<strong>and</strong> reaffirmed that decision<br />
at the fall town meeting. The<br />
project was delayed due to citizen<br />
concerns <strong>and</strong> a few lawsuits, but<br />
was given the go-ahead after the<br />
November meeting. Clearing of<br />
the site, including the former 6.4-<br />
acre Town Park, began almost<br />
immediately. The Massachusetts<br />
School Board Association will reimburse<br />
the town for about $20<br />
million of the estimated $51 million<br />
project. Construction will be<br />
completed in 2019.<br />
Guzinski <strong>and</strong> McCaffrey said<br />
that although there was divisiveness<br />
among residents concerning<br />
the project, in the end, they<br />
hoped that the high level of civic<br />
engagement will carry over into<br />
other areas, like volunteering for<br />
boards <strong>and</strong> committees or regularly<br />
attending more meetings.<br />
Residents approved a plan to<br />
create a stormwater utility to pay<br />
for compliance <strong>and</strong> maintenance<br />
costs of meeting more stringent<br />
EPA regulations on stormwater<br />
runoff, containment, <strong>and</strong> management.<br />
The owners of each of the<br />
approximate 4,000 l<strong>and</strong> parcels in<br />
town will pay into the utility.<br />
One of the biggest events in <strong>Millis</strong> in 2017 was the groundbreaking of the new Clyde F. Brown Elementary School, which took place on December<br />
8th. The Town voted twice on the hotly contested override, overwhelmingly supporting the new MSBA-supported construction.<br />
“All communities in the Commonwealth<br />
will have to find a<br />
way to either absorb the costs of<br />
developing a program, or find a<br />
new way to pay for it,” Guzinski<br />
said. McCaffrey added that while<br />
sometimes <strong>Millis</strong> waits for new<br />
programs to be “tried <strong>and</strong> true”<br />
before the town adopts them, in<br />
the case of the stormwater utility,<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> is proactively at the<br />
forefront.<br />
The separation of the town’s<br />
public safety departments into<br />
two buildings was completed<br />
after the fire department fully<br />
took over the building previously<br />
shared with the police department,<br />
which moved into its own<br />
facility in 2016. McCaffrey said<br />
that the meeting room in the facility<br />
has seen extensive use, as<br />
have the meeting spaces at the<br />
library <strong>and</strong> town hall.<br />
The active adult community<br />
at Glen Ellen has received a<br />
number of approvals, with the<br />
next phase of the project being a<br />
proposal to hook into the town’s<br />
existing sewer system rather than<br />
having an on-site treatment facility.<br />
McCaffrey <strong>and</strong> Guzinski<br />
noted that some potential road<br />
work on Orchard Street, among<br />
other areas, has been delayed<br />
pending that outcome, as there<br />
would be little sense in repaving<br />
roads only to have them torn up<br />
again for the planned Toll Brothers<br />
community.<br />
Other developments in town<br />
have seen action, including the<br />
continued building of residences<br />
at South End Farm <strong>and</strong> the clearing<br />
of l<strong>and</strong> in preparation for an<br />
assisted living facility on Dover<br />
Road. The new Tractor Supply<br />
Company store on Main Street<br />
was the biggest new retailer in<br />
town.<br />
The Department of Public<br />
Works had a busy year, including<br />
some key road work on Village<br />
Street, the completion of the Veterans<br />
Memorial outside of Town<br />
Hall, <strong>and</strong> improved access for the<br />
Life Experience School. The latter<br />
two projects were delivered<br />
with minimal outside aid, an<br />
example, McCaffrey said, of the<br />
department continuing to deliver<br />
cost-effective local solutions.<br />
The police department added<br />
three experienced officers to the<br />
force, an outcome possible after<br />
a previous town decision to withdraw<br />
from the Commonwealth’s<br />
civil service system, thus allowing<br />
departments to hire officers<br />
based on their own criteria rather<br />
than a state ranking system. The<br />
fire department finished up training<br />
as part of a move to providing<br />
Advanced Life Support services<br />
for ambulatory care.<br />
No recreational or medical<br />
marijuana facilities started up<br />
in 2017, although the issue saw<br />
much debate <strong>and</strong> planning. <strong>Millis</strong><br />
issued a moratorium on recreational<br />
marijuana establishments<br />
as the town waits to see how regulations<br />
surrounding the Commonwealth’s<br />
vote to approve<br />
marijuana play out. McCaffrey<br />
<strong>and</strong> Guzinski said that the town’s<br />
most prudent approach was to<br />
issue a moratorium. One medical<br />
marijuana facility has obtained a<br />
license to open a facility along<br />
Main Street towards the <strong>Medway</strong><br />
line.<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> girls’ varsity soccer<br />
team won the state Division<br />
4 championship, <strong>and</strong> the varsity<br />
football team won the state Division<br />
8 championship.<br />
In May, local l<strong>and</strong>mark Bob’s<br />
Family Restaurant was destroyed<br />
by a fire. And a trail camera<br />
caught the image of a bear w<strong>and</strong>ering<br />
through town in August.<br />
Guzinski started in late March<br />
as the new town administrator,<br />
replacing Charles Aspinwall, who<br />
had taken a similar role in Canton<br />
in 2016. Guzinski was the town<br />
administrator in Douglas for 13<br />
years before taking the position<br />
in <strong>Millis</strong>, <strong>and</strong> had also worked in<br />
Rowley <strong>and</strong> Blackstone.<br />

Generous Community Rises to<br />
the Challenge to “Stuff the Bus”<br />
By: Marjorie Turner Hollman<br />
It all started with an idea.<br />
Ray Auger, My FM’s Mr. Everything,<br />
<strong>and</strong> host of the Morning<br />
Show on Myfm101.3 &WMRC<br />
1490AM radio, told Tom<br />
McAuliffe, owner <strong>and</strong> manager<br />
of the stations, that he wanted<br />
to do a special promotion. The<br />
idea? Have a toy collection for<br />
Christmas, <strong>and</strong> fill the container<br />
provided at the toy collection<br />
spot. Simple concept, it’s been<br />
done before, for a worthy cause.<br />
McAuliffe agreed, <strong>and</strong> noted,<br />
“We just got a new station vehicle,<br />
a retired ambulance, so I<br />
said, ‘Sure.’ But Ray said, “I was<br />
really thinking about trying to fill<br />
a bus.’”<br />
And thus began the “Stuff<br />
a bus” toy drive that took place<br />
December 2, planned as a 30-<br />
hour marathon toy drive in the<br />
parking lot of Target in Milford.<br />
McAuliffe <strong>and</strong> Auger started out<br />
at 6 a.m. that Saturday morning,<br />
planning to stay with the bus till<br />
noon Sunday. McAuliffe thought<br />
they might be lucky enough to<br />
get 200-300 toys, but with the<br />
added power of social media, the<br />
toy drive took on a life of its own.<br />
The station obtained an initial<br />
$2,000 in corporate sponsors<br />
for the toy drive, <strong>and</strong> throughout<br />
the weekend, McAuliffe <strong>and</strong>/<br />
or Auger went into Target with<br />
money donated from sponsors<br />
Chinese Restaurant<br />
508-376-8868<br />
<strong>and</strong> had ‘shopping sprees,” which<br />
they broadcast live on their Facebook<br />
page. They continued their<br />
regular programming on the<br />
radio, with quick check ins from<br />
the radio station about how the<br />
drive was doing, but McAuliffe<br />
marveled at the response they<br />
got when they went live on Facebook<br />
for their shopping sprees in<br />
Target.<br />
“Social media was amazing,”<br />
Auger recalled. “The Facebook<br />
live shares went through the<br />
roof—we had fun with it.” He<br />

continued, “Our whole staff<br />
came down, volunteers showed<br />
up to help us collect <strong>and</strong> stack the<br />
toys, <strong>and</strong> to help with the shopping<br />
sprees. I admit I was building<br />
up sympathy (for staying up<br />
all night) but the truth is, we had<br />
a blast. We had h<strong>and</strong> warmers,<br />
pillows, blankets, <strong>and</strong> a lot of<br />
people came to see that we were<br />
all right. People brought us food<br />
<strong>and</strong> we stayed on social media all<br />
night. We got very little sleep. Resellables<br />

event. McAuliffe noted “My wife<br />
Megan even came down with<br />
bacon, eggs <strong>and</strong> an electric fry<br />
pan to make us breakfast, <strong>and</strong> we<br />
got ready to do it all over again<br />
till noon Sunday.”<br />
During the event MyFM<br />
101.3 continued to encourage<br />
donations, which they broadcast<br />
over social media as Facebook<br />
live shopping sprees. When all<br />
was said <strong>and</strong> done, Auger figures<br />
they collected about 3,000 toys,<br />
about $60,000 worth of toys,<br />
which were donated to the U.S.<br />
Marines Toys for Tots. Auger<br />
noted, “We had to get Tony<br />
Gallo of Gallo Moving <strong>and</strong> Storage<br />
to come over to help collect<br />
all the toys. We gave the Marines<br />
a heads up about the success of<br />
the drive, <strong>and</strong> Lance Corporal<br />
Mike Shea just kept shaking his<br />
head, saying they’d never had<br />
such a response like this.<br />
McAuliffe says they are already<br />
making plans for next year.<br />
“It was one of the most amazing<br />
things we’ve ever done,” he<br />
said shortly after the event, still<br />
somewhat groggy from lack of<br />
sleep. “I’ll catch up on sleep by<br />
<strong>January</strong>,” he laughed. “We had<br />
planned to stuff the bus with the<br />
toys <strong>and</strong> join the Milford Santa<br />
Parade but there were just too<br />
many toys, so we took a few of<br />
the stuffed animals <strong>and</strong> stuck<br />
them in the bus <strong>and</strong> headed<br />
over to join the parade that Sunday<br />
afternoon. So many people<br />
stopped us along the parade<br />
route to thank us <strong>and</strong> tell us what<br />
a great thing this was. There are<br />
so many worthy charities out<br />
there. This was like a scene out<br />
of the movie It’s a Wonderful<br />
Life.”<br />
Reflecting on the entire event,<br />
McAuliffe said, “You know, we<br />
don’t do this for the headlines,<br />
but by the time we saw how people<br />
were responding, we wanted<br />
to reach out to be sure people<br />
knew what had happened. The<br />
best thing about owning a local<br />
radio station is that I can do what<br />
feels right. Local radio is still<br />
making a difference.”<br />

<strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club Had a Busy December<br />
Held Frosty 5K, 48th Senior Citizen Holiday Dinner<br />
& Honored 50-Year Member David Noon<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club had a<br />
busy December in 2017.<br />
On December 3, The <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Lions Club held their first annual<br />
Frosty 5K run/walk to raise<br />
money for local <strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club<br />
charities to support those in need<br />
in <strong>Millis</strong>.<br />
The race, co-sponsored by<br />
Encompass Fitness, started at 9<br />
a.m., with more than 40+ participants<br />
making their way through<br />
the back streets of town dressed<br />
in their best <strong>and</strong> silliest holiday<br />
attire. This year’s race winners<br />
were C.J. Stapels in first place<br />
with Gene Storbeck second <strong>and</strong><br />
Gary Pollak coming in third. In<br />
the children’s category Noah<br />
Dayhoff was the winner with<br />
Ella Maher coming in second<br />
<strong>and</strong> Dillon <strong>and</strong> Ryan Fitzgerald<br />
tying for third. Best holiday<br />
costume was won by the mother<br />
<strong>and</strong> son team of Delia <strong>and</strong> Erin<br />
LeBlanc.<br />
On December 5th, the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Lions Club had the pleasure of<br />
celebrating Lion David Noon for<br />
his 50 years of service in the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Lions Club.<br />
With family, friends <strong>and</strong> Lions<br />
from <strong>Millis</strong> <strong>and</strong> many other communities,<br />
Massachusetts Lions’<br />
District 33K Governor, Margaret<br />
Menard, presented Dave with a<br />
plaque acknowledging his dedication<br />
to the Lions <strong>and</strong> to the<br />
community of <strong>Millis</strong>.<br />
Noon, (a former <strong>Millis</strong> resident,<br />
now residing in Maine),<br />
joined the <strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club in<br />
October of 1967. Since then,<br />
Dave has been a dedicated <strong>and</strong><br />
active Lion, responsible for spearheading<br />
many of the events <strong>and</strong><br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Lions worked to host their 48 th annual Senior Citizen Holiday<br />
Dinner on December 10 th , 2017, with help from the <strong>Millis</strong> Leo’s Club,<br />
the MHS Art Club, MHS B<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> MHS Chorus <strong>and</strong> several generous<br />
sponsors in town.<br />
fundraisers that have allowed the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Lions to help the citizens<br />
of <strong>Millis</strong> <strong>and</strong> others around the<br />
world. Dave is also an associate<br />
member of the <strong>Medway</strong> Lions<br />
Club, helping to form that club in<br />
December of 1982. Dave served<br />
as Club president in 1981-1982,<br />
was Lion of the Year in 1975<br />
<strong>and</strong> was awarded a Melvin Jones<br />
Fellowship, the highest honor in<br />
Lions, in 1996. The Club honored<br />
Dave with a Lifetime membership<br />
in 2005.<br />
“Dave defines what it means<br />
to be a Lion. His dedication to<br />
the community of <strong>Millis</strong> <strong>and</strong> to<br />
Lionism is unmatched. He has<br />
been an inspiration to Lions<br />
members in this Club, <strong>and</strong> in<br />
Clubs all over the district,” said<br />
District Governor, Margaret Menard<br />
(Hyde Park Lions Club).<br />
At Dave’s side every step of<br />
the way has been his loving wife,<br />
Carole. In 2016, Dave <strong>and</strong> Carole<br />
retired to Maine to enjoy the<br />
seashore <strong>and</strong> to be close to their<br />
children <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>children.<br />
On Sunday, December 10th,<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club held their<br />
annual Senior Citizen Holiday<br />
Dinner <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Millis</strong> High<br />
School. This annual event of the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club is held each<br />
December <strong>and</strong> is open to any<br />
resident of <strong>Millis</strong> over the age of<br />
60. There is no charge for the<br />
meal.<br />
More than 140+ guests dined<br />
on a delicious pork roast complimented<br />
by baked apples <strong>and</strong><br />
squash, red bliss roasted potatoes<br />
courtesy of Ed Harutyunyan,<br />
owner of Budabings, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
afternoon was topped-off with<br />
delicious cake donated by Roche<br />
Brothers.<br />
For 48 years, this annual holiday<br />
meal has been prepared by<br />
the superb <strong>Millis</strong> Lions’ culinary<br />
staff, <strong>and</strong> served by <strong>Millis</strong> Lions<br />
dressed in black slacks, white<br />
shirts <strong>and</strong> holiday red cummerbunds.<br />
Assisting the Lions on<br />
Sunday were members of the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> High School Leo Club,<br />
the youth arm of Lions Clubs<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Lion David Noon was<br />
honored on December 5, 2017 for<br />
50 years of service with the Lions<br />
Club.<br />
International <strong>and</strong> members of<br />
the MHS student government.<br />
Decorations were provided by<br />
the MHS Art Club. The <strong>Millis</strong><br />
High School B<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> chorus<br />
performed holiday classics <strong>and</strong><br />
the afternoon was concluded<br />
with an “Elfin Raffle.”<br />
“This is our Club’s favorite<br />
event. We all come together to<br />
bring joy <strong>and</strong> happiness to our<br />
seniors…, “ said Noreen Brown,<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Lions Club president.<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Lions would like to<br />
extend a very special thank you to<br />
Dave DLaferrierre, manager of<br />
Ann <strong>and</strong> Hope, who donated a<br />
live 7’ Balsam Pine tree <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong><br />
for this event. The <strong>Millis</strong> Lions<br />
decorate the tree every year <strong>and</strong><br />
donate the tree <strong>and</strong> trimmings to<br />
a family in need who lives in <strong>Millis</strong>;<br />
<strong>and</strong> to Roche Bros of <strong>Millis</strong> for<br />
their continued outst<strong>and</strong>ing support<br />
<strong>and</strong> generosity.<br />
C.J. Stapels was the winner of the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Lions first “Frosty 5K” to<br />
benefit residents of the town in<br />
need.<br />
Where there’s a need, there’s<br />
a Lion. We believe that the world<br />
gets better <strong>and</strong> problems get<br />
smaller when people unite to<br />
serve their local <strong>and</strong> global communities.<br />
Lions help where help<br />
is needed - in our own communities<br />
<strong>and</strong> around the world - with<br />
unmatched integrity <strong>and</strong> energy.<br />

Podiatrist, Dr. Cooper: As we<br />
age it gets tougher <strong>and</strong> tougher<br />
to trim those pesky toenails. Diseases<br />
such as arthritis can make<br />
joints <strong>and</strong> bones stiff <strong>and</strong> can<br />
make an awkward position difficult,<br />
such as bringing your feet<br />
up for proper foot care. Poor vision<br />
also makes proper foot care<br />
hard. Dr. Cooper will be here on<br />

Norwood’s Entrance into The Tri Valley League Is Official<br />
By KEN HAMWEY, Staff<br />
Sports Writer<br />
A new year often comes with<br />
some change <strong>and</strong> that’s what<br />
schools in the Tri Valley League<br />
will experience when their sports<br />
schedules will include a new<br />
member.<br />
The athletic directors <strong>and</strong><br />
the principals of the 11 schools<br />
in the TVL voted unanimously<br />
to accept Norwood as the 12th<br />
member of the circuit. Starting<br />
in September, Norwood will<br />
compete in the TVL’s Large Division<br />
<strong>and</strong> no longer be part of<br />
the Bay State Conference.<br />
“The addition of Norwood<br />
to the league is a win for both<br />
Norwood <strong>and</strong> the TVL,’’ said<br />
Mike Grimes, the Ashl<strong>and</strong> athletic<br />
director. “This will not only<br />
strengthen the TVL, but also<br />
continue to increase the opportunities<br />
for our student-athletes<br />
in Ashl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> throughout the<br />
league.<br />
“While coaching in Natick, I<br />
had the opportunity to compete<br />
against Norwood every year. I<br />
truly enjoyed traveling there because<br />
they were always gracious<br />
hosts <strong>and</strong> had well-kept athletic<br />
facilities. I look forward to working<br />
with their A.D., Jon Longley.<br />
He will be a great fit <strong>and</strong> a great<br />
addition among the other A.D.s<br />
within the league.’’<br />
Holliston’s A.D., Matt Baker,<br />
also regards Norwood’s entrance<br />
as a major plus. “Lots of<br />
positives with Norwood entering<br />
the league,’’ he said. “This gets<br />
us back to an even number of<br />
teams with a perfect split for the<br />

TVL Large <strong>and</strong> Small Divisions.<br />
I think they’re a good fit geographically<br />
<strong>and</strong> competitively.<br />
I’m looking forward to the future<br />
of our league with 12 teams <strong>and</strong><br />
to start new rivalries <strong>and</strong> traditions<br />
with Norwood.<br />
Norwood’s School Committee<br />
got the ball rolling to leave<br />
the BSC when it voted, 3-2, for<br />
its athletic director to file an application<br />
for entrance into the<br />
TVL. The school’s enrollment<br />
was 957 for 2016-2017 <strong>and</strong>, with<br />
Dedham’s departure from the<br />
BSC <strong>and</strong> subsequent entrance<br />
into the TVL, Norwood became<br />
the smallest-enrolled school in<br />
the BSC.<br />
When the move to the TVL<br />
became official, Longley expressed<br />
delight that the Mustangs<br />
will be developing new<br />
relationships <strong>and</strong> new rivalries<br />
but he also noted that Norwood<br />
was leaving a first-class league.<br />
“We’re going from one excellent<br />
league to another,’’ he said. “The<br />
Bay State League is top-notch<br />
but our student-athletes now will<br />
have an opportunity to compete<br />
against schools that are similar to<br />
our size. We’ll be a good fit for<br />
the TVL, in terms of geography<br />
<strong>and</strong> enrollment.’’<br />
Norwood’s relationship with<br />
Dedham will remain intact, especially<br />
in football where the<br />
two schools have been Thanksgiving<br />
rivals for decades. “Dedham<br />
has been our main rival in<br />
so many sports <strong>and</strong> now it’ll be<br />
exciting to reunite with them<br />
in a new league,’’ Longley said.<br />
“Dedham <strong>and</strong> Norwood will stay<br />
well-connected. Change often is<br />
accompanied with apprehension<br />
but a majority of our community<br />
supports the move. Once we get<br />
involved in competition, it should<br />
be a good fit.’’<br />
Longley previously said that<br />
Norwood was outmatched in<br />
the BSC <strong>and</strong> could not compete<br />
with schools the size of Newton<br />
North, Wellesley, Needham <strong>and</strong><br />
Natick. He also indicated that<br />
a poll of Norwood coaches revealed<br />
that 70 percent of those<br />
responding favored moving to<br />
the TVL.<br />
The TVL athletic directors invited<br />
Norwood officials to make<br />
a presentation for admission last<br />
September. Norwood will be the<br />
third largest-enrolled school in<br />
the TVL, trailing Hopkinton <strong>and</strong><br />
Westwood. Norwood’s entry now<br />
gives the TVL 12 members, six<br />
in the large division <strong>and</strong> six in the<br />
small division.<br />
The TVL Large Division includes<br />
Holliston, Hopkinton,<br />
Westwood, Norton, Medfield <strong>and</strong><br />
Norwood. The Small Division is<br />
composed of <strong>Millis</strong>, <strong>Medway</strong>,<br />
Bellingham, Dover-Sherborn,<br />
Ashl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dedham.<br />
“Norwood provides great<br />
balance to the Tri Valley, particularly<br />
in light of Dedham’s<br />
addition,’’ said Bellingham A.D.<br />
Michael Connor. “Norwood will<br />
nicely round out the Tri Valley’s<br />
large-school division.’’<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> High A.D. Rob<br />
Pearl, was on board as the TVL<br />
president when Dedham applied<br />
for entrance into the league<br />
<strong>and</strong> he’s pleased Norwood will<br />
round out the membership to<br />
a dozen participants. “To get<br />
to 12 schools is truly a benefit,’’<br />
said Pearl. “It will make scheduling<br />
easier <strong>and</strong> also streamline it.<br />
Norwood seems like a good fit,<br />
both in terms of size <strong>and</strong> competitiveness.’’<br />
Another A.D., Chuck Grant<br />
of <strong>Millis</strong>, also expressed a welcoming<br />
sentiment. “Norwood<br />
brings a state of the art facility<br />
coupled with a level of competition<br />
commensurate with our<br />
league. Their addition will enhance<br />
our scheduling as it will<br />
afford us two six-team divisions.<br />
We look forward to their entry<br />
into the TVL.’’<br />
Lucas Giguere, Bellingham<br />
High’s principal, was pleased<br />
with the addition of Norwood.<br />
“We’re excited to welcome Norwood<br />
into the league,’’ he said.<br />
“Their community mirrors the<br />
other outst<strong>and</strong>ing communities<br />
we have in the Tri Valley<br />
League.’’<br />

Alex Olmsted Gives His All in Three Sports <strong>and</strong> in Studies<br />
By Christopher Tremblay<br />
With colleges looking much<br />
more closely at a student’s academic<br />
record as well as coaches<br />
looking for that specific athlete<br />
that has excelled in their sport<br />
before offering scholarships, it<br />
is not as likely to find that many<br />
three-sport athletes on the high<br />
school level as it has been in the<br />
past. <strong>Millis</strong>’ Alex Olmsted continues<br />
to give it everything that<br />
he has in three sports for the Mohawks.<br />
Olmsted has played wide receiver<br />
<strong>and</strong> corner back for the<br />
football team, power forward for<br />
the basketball team <strong>and</strong> left field<br />
for the baseball team over the<br />
past 5 years for the Mohawks.<br />
Originally, football was at the<br />
bottom of the list <strong>and</strong> a sport<br />
that Olmsted did not enjoy, but<br />
since he started playing on the<br />
high school level it has risen to<br />
the top. And although football<br />
is now his favorite of the three,<br />
Olmsted feels basketball is where<br />
he best excels.<br />
Growing up in Walpole Olmsted<br />
took to the three sports<br />
in town because his dad (Dale)<br />
was a coach, <strong>and</strong> it gave the two<br />
time to bond while on the playing<br />
fields. With his father being<br />
the head coach of the <strong>Millis</strong> football<br />
team Olmsted first decided<br />
to give football a chance when he<br />
was in elementary school, but it<br />
was not his idea of fun.<br />
“I tried playing football in<br />
the fifth grade, but I was just not<br />
thrilled with the game <strong>and</strong> didn’t<br />
really like it, possibly because I<br />
was much smaller than the others,”<br />
he said. “My dad never<br />
pushed me to play football; he<br />
just explained the game to me<br />
<strong>and</strong> allowed me to make my own<br />
decision <strong>and</strong> was supportive of<br />
whatever I decided to play.”<br />
Despite despising football as a<br />
fifth grader, Olmsted decided to<br />
give it another shot three years<br />
later. Although living in Walpole,<br />
Olmsted decided to attend <strong>Millis</strong><br />
High School as a school choice,<br />
because his father coached there.<br />
“Once I got to <strong>Millis</strong>, I decided<br />
to give football another try,<br />
because my dad was the coach<br />
there,” he said. “The first time<br />
around I was not thrilled, but at<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> it was different. I was not<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> High’s three sport athlete <strong>and</strong> senior Alex Olmsted shows quiet<br />
poise <strong>and</strong> depth as a student <strong>and</strong> athlete.<br />
all that social, but <strong>Millis</strong> was a<br />
small school with a big family,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the football players accepted<br />
me.”<br />
Playing on the football team,<br />
Olmsted got to know all the football<br />
players before school started,<br />
which gave him a bit of an advantage<br />
once September rolled<br />
around. As an eighth grader, he<br />
played on a freshman team that<br />
didn’t win a single game, but the<br />
following year, the same team<br />
went undefeated. After playing<br />
for the junior varsity team as a<br />
sophomore, Olmsted was part of<br />
back-to-back Super Bowl Championships<br />
on the varsity level.<br />
“It’s crazy how we turned<br />
things around so quickly. It only<br />
goes to show that you should<br />
never give up <strong>and</strong> keep on fighting,”<br />
Olmsted said. “The only<br />
thing I regret is not getting the<br />
chance to play for my father (who<br />
had left to take a job with Nichols<br />
College); it was the main reason I<br />
decided to go to <strong>Millis</strong>.”<br />
Although he never got that<br />
chance, Olmsted feels grateful<br />
that he was part of the football<br />
team <strong>and</strong> what they achieved<br />
<strong>and</strong> the brotherhood of friends<br />
he now has.<br />
Unlike football, Olmsted enjoyed<br />
basketball <strong>and</strong> baseball<br />
right from the beginning. While<br />
the two sports have not had the<br />
success that the football team has<br />
achieved over the past few years<br />
he still enjoys playing the sports<br />
with his friends <strong>and</strong> teammates.<br />
As an eighth grader, Olmsted<br />
was still playing basketball in<br />
Walpole for the Metrowest team,<br />
but when he got to high school<br />
he joined the basketball team<br />
there in <strong>Millis</strong>. He played for the<br />
freshman team <strong>and</strong> junior varsity<br />
squad before getting moved<br />
up to the varsity team mid-way<br />
through his junior season. While<br />
he considered himself too small<br />
to originally play football, Olmsted<br />
had a growth spurt in high<br />
school which was definitely to his<br />
advantage on the court.<br />
“Basketball is probably my<br />
best sport, as I have been playing<br />
it the longest, <strong>and</strong> when I grew<br />
(Olmsted is 6’3”), it helped me<br />
with my game,” he said. “Finally<br />
getting the chance to play on a<br />
competitive level was great.”<br />
Last year, the Mohawks went<br />
13-7 <strong>and</strong> advanced to the Division<br />
4 Central Tournament<br />
where they were got as far as the<br />
Quarter Finals. It was here they<br />
were sent home by neighboring<br />
Hopedale. Olmsted is hoping<br />
that once he is cleared to play,<br />
he’ll be able to help the team get<br />
back to the tournament.<br />
“Having broken my collarbone<br />
in the first football playoff<br />
game, I’m hoping that I’ll<br />
be cleared to get back onto the<br />
basketball court soon, “Olmsted<br />
said. “I’m more of a 6th man at<br />
this point, but this year I’m going<br />
to be relied on for more rebounds<br />
<strong>and</strong> put-backs.”<br />
Having won the Super Bowl<br />
in football, <strong>and</strong> basketball looks<br />
to get back to the play-offs once<br />
again, baseball is up in the air.<br />
According to Olmsted, the team<br />
was not that strong last spring<br />
<strong>and</strong> he is unsure of how good<br />
they will be this year, but as a<br />
senior he’s not going to let that<br />
bother him. He’s going to go<br />
out <strong>and</strong> play the sport no matter<br />
what happens.<br />
“I’m not sure how this team is<br />
going to be this upcoming year,<br />
but I just want to go out <strong>and</strong><br />
play,” he said. “I had primarily<br />
played the infield before being<br />
moved to the outfield, but I don’t<br />
care as long as I’m playing.”<br />
As his high school career is<br />
in its final year Olmsted looks to<br />
be having fun playing all three<br />
sports, despite the outcome of<br />
the seasons.<br />
“Alex has been a role player in<br />
all three sports <strong>and</strong> should be a<br />
main factor in both the upcoming<br />
basketball <strong>and</strong> baseball seasons,”<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> Athletic Director<br />
Chuck Grant said. “He’s a quiet<br />
senior that leads by example<br />
by staying active in school <strong>and</strong><br />
earning honor roll grades. He is<br />
a clear example of someone enjoying<br />
every bit of his high school<br />
experience”

Register O’Donnell Warns<br />
Homeowners of Deed Scam<br />
Continuing his efforts to combat<br />
consumer fraud, Norfolk<br />
County Register of Deeds William<br />
P. O’Donnell is once again<br />
advising county residents to disregard<br />
a direct-mail solicitation<br />
offering them a certified copy of<br />
their property deed for an outrageous<br />
fee of anywhere from<br />
$59.50-$83.<br />
Register O’Donnell stated,<br />
“There is a California company<br />
that continues to send 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 />
If you receive this scam deed<br />
solicitation notice, please contact<br />
the Registry’s Customer Service<br />
Center immediately at (781) 461-<br />
6101 or email registerodonnell@<br />
norfolkdeeds.org. Additionally, if<br />
you desire a copy of your own<br />
deed, also contact the Registry’s<br />
Customer Service Center <strong>and</strong> we<br />
will be glad to provide you with<br />
one for a nominal fee of usually<br />
$2-$3.<br />

We thank our<br />
clients <strong>and</strong> friends<br />
for a fantastic<br />
2017! We wish you<br />
<strong>and</strong> your family joy,<br />
happiness, <strong>and</strong><br />
success in the<br />
new year!<br />
some concerns with regards to<br />
real estate sales <strong>and</strong> lending activity<br />
for the month of November<br />
2017.<br />
O’Donnell noted, “November<br />
real estate sales, for both residential<br />
<strong>and</strong> commercial activity, were<br />
off by 3% from the previous year.<br />
A total of 1,512 property transactions<br />
were recorded versus<br />
1,563 in November 2016.<br />
“Additionally, the average sale<br />
price of residential <strong>and</strong> commercial<br />
property for the month<br />
was $638,120, a 12% reduction<br />
year over year. Also, total sales<br />
volume, again for both residential<br />
<strong>and</strong> commercial, was $619<br />
million, a 9% decrease from November<br />
2016. Clearly, the limited<br />
amount of available real estate<br />
inventory is having a drag on<br />
the real estate market in Norfolk<br />
County.”<br />
The story gets more sobering<br />
when we look at the lending market<br />
numbers in Norfolk County.<br />
“As we have seen for the last few<br />
months,” stated the Register, “the<br />
number of mortgages recorded<br />
during the month of November<br />
Carolyn Chodat<br />
Owner/Broker<br />
decreased by a significant 28%.<br />
Also, the total volume of mortgage<br />
financing, for both residential<br />
<strong>and</strong> commercial properties,<br />
came in at $1.1 billion, a 35%<br />
decrease year over year. There is<br />
no question consumers are being<br />
cautious when considering big<br />
ticket expenses. Furthermore, interest<br />
rates have crept up slightly,<br />
which have proven disconcerting<br />
to many homeowners interested<br />
in purchasing a home.”<br />
There was one major piece of<br />
positive news in the area of foreclosure<br />
activity where a total of<br />
13 foreclosure deeds were filed<br />
in November in comparison to<br />
19 filings in the same 2016 time<br />
period. However, on the other<br />
h<strong>and</strong>, a total of 125 Notice to<br />
Foreclose Mortgage documents,<br />
the first step in the foreclosure<br />
process, were recorded versus<br />
only 52 in November 2016.<br />

Client Testimonial to Laina Kaplan:<br />
“Laina was such a joy to work with. We used her to both buy our home<br />
as well as list our starter home. She was able to get the house staged,<br />
<strong>and</strong> listed very quickly after reaching out to her. She was immediate with<br />
her feedback from open houses <strong>and</strong> always transparent to us. Our home<br />
had fallen through a few times but Laina always had a great attitude that<br />
our house would sell as well as helpful information on how to make the<br />
sale faster. I can’t thank her enough for the job she did through the roller<br />
coaster of the home buying <strong>and</strong> selling experience.”<br />
