The Voice of Your Community 

Medway Resident 

Goes the Distance to 

Fight Breast Cancer 


She wanted to give people 

hope. 

Davina McNaney, a Medway 

resident for three years, wanted 

to show people that a diagnosis 

of breast cancer doesn’t always 

mean the end. 

“It doesn’t have to be something 

that taints your life. You 

can look at your situation and figure 

out what control you have to 

make this a positive outcome. My 

running has made people hope. 

My running has made me having 

cancer worthwhile; I’m translating 

it into making a positive ripple,” 

says McNaney. 

It took her 12 days, but Davina 

ran 390 miles, through four 

states, from the Boston Harbor 

Hotel, in Boston, to Sodus Point, 

New York, her hometown, where 

she arrived on Tuesday, July 3rd. 

Along the way, she raised $24,732 

for the Breast Cancer Research 

Foundation.

This might sound like an 

amazing feat, but what’s even 

more amazing is that Davina, 

had done it before. In 2015, 

the mother of two decided to 

run from Michigan to Sodus 

Point, her first fundraiser for 

BCRF. That run, “RunMI2NY,” 

spanned 15 days, across 4 

states for 470 solo miles to raise 

$23,000. A year later, she was 

raising more money, $5,000 for 

the cause in several ultra-races. 

“I’m passionate about it,” says 

Davina, who found out she had 

breast cancer at just 40 years 

old, when she was living in Ann 

Arbor, MI. 

“I went for my very first 

mammogram, and that’s when 

they found it; a month later I

Jasper Hill Café and Bistro Comes to Millis 

Landmark Building to Become Home 

to Well-Known Restaurant 

By Jane Lebak 

Millis residents have noticed 

the renovations taking place at 

the historic building on 270 Exchange 

Street. At the corner of 

Union Street, Van Kleeck, and 

Route 115, the former location 

of Rossi’s Restaurant has been 

repainted and repaired. 

What’s going on? Sometime 

in August, Jasper Hill Café is 

moving from Holliston to Millis. 

An award-winning café, and 

a landmark building. It’s a match 

made in heaven…or maybe a 

match made in Millis. 

First, the building. Formerly 

known as Rocklawn, the building 

was originally constructed 

in 1887 by Lansing Millis (yes, 

Millis’s founding father) as a 

gift to his daughter Helen Van 

Kleeck (yes, for whom the road 

was named). The Cole family 

purchased the property in 1920. 

Many longtime Millis residents 

remember taking music lessons 

with Elinore Cole on the floor 

above The Holiday Shop. For 

a while it served as Rossi’s Restaurant, 

and now the building is 

owned by Tom Roche. But it’s 

stood empty for several years. 

Next, the restaurant. Jasper 

Hill Café has its roots in Holliston, 

where it was named for 

Jasper Adams, one of Holliston’s 

first settlers. When owners John 

and Denise Tracy arrived in Holliston 

after the sudden closure of 

Pejamajo, one of their first actions 

as a café was to honor the 

gift certificates of their predecessor 

because they felt it important 

to serve the community. They 

will carry that community spirit 

into Millis as well. 

It turns out that community 

spirit is the reason Jasper Hill 

is moving to Millis. “Our lease 

was up here, and we thought 

that would be the opportunity 

to expand,” says co-owner John 

Tracy. “Somebody who knew 

Tom [Roche] was a customer 

of ours, and one thing led to another.” 

John Tracy was blown away 

by the beauty of the building. 

“It’s majestic and so beautiful. 

Every time I go over there, I just 

want to take it all in again.” 

Jasper Hill Café featured 

burgers, salads, and paninis, with 

John Tracy as the head chef. 

The menu will expand, however, 

when they move to Millis. “We’re 

turning from a café into a restaurant,” 

Tracy clarifies. “Lunches 

and dinners, but not opening for 

breakfast.” Along with that shift 

will come some new options: 

Jasper Hill will be bringing in 

a banquet manager in order to 

host events, large functions, and 

even weddings. Plus, over time 

they plan to host a Sunday Blues 

Brunch. 

That is, after all, what Jasper 

Hill Café and Bistro is best 

known for: the live musical talent 

they showcase every Wednesday 

through Sunday. The Holliston 

location featured Chris Fitz’s 

Back Porch Acoustic Hoedown 

every Thursday night and the 

Empty No More 

Shown is the newly renovated 

historic building at the corner of 

Union and Exchange Streets in 

Millis, soon to be the new home of 

Jasper Hill Café & Bistro. 

Blues Jam with Pete Henderson 

& Company on Sunday nights. 

They feature the Young Performers 

Open Mic on the last Sunday 

of the month, plus a continuous 

roster of blues and R&B musicians. 

Tracy gets very animated 

when talking about the musicians. 

“Millis is going to be blown 

away with the talent level that we 

have. We have Mark DeSmall, 

who plays the Newport Blues 

Fest--the guy is phenomenal. 

Chris Fitz is one of the biggest 

blues names in New England, 

and he’s here every Wednesday 

evening.” 

As of press time, the opening 

date wasn’t certain due to licenses 

and other state paperwork. “I’ve 

opened four restaurants in my 

life, including this. These things 

move like snails,” Tracy says 

with a laugh. But he wants to 

do it right. “It’s about building 

a team. I know a lot of people, 

and people have reached out to 

me. We’re putting the pieces together.” 

The current hope is that Jasper 

Hill will open its doors sometime 

in August, but for up-to-date 

information, check out their 

Facebook page at https://www. 

facebook.com/jasperhillcafeandbistro/. 

After Jasper Hill is settled 

in their new location with everything 

running smoothly, there 

will be an opening celebration to 

introduce Millis to all they have 

to offer.

menu and hours, you can

HISTORY 

continued from page 1 

– the town of Medway as a place 

they live, or work, or somehow 

define themselves. 

“We Are Medway” is an 

ongoing living yearbook of 

Medway, Massachusetts. It was 

started last month, on July 1, 

2018, by Medway photographer 

Tim Rice, who will take the project 

where it wants to go. 

“This has been in my head 

for just under 20 years,” says 

Medway native and well-known 

photographer Tim Rice, who 

began the “We Are Medway” 

photo blog at the beginning of 

the month, featuring his neighbor 

Betty Ann Balboni. 

“She’s 89 years old, and used 

to run the auction in town,” says 

Rice, who knew her when he 

owned a photo lab in town. Even 

back then, he says, when he sold 

his store and was trying to decide 

what to do, he imagined a mobile 

photo lab. “I had this concept to 

just go out to people’s houses and 

take pictures of them, and then 

to go out to my van and print 

them out for them,” says Rice. 

Although that idea didn’t 

come to fruition, says Rice, the 

notion of taking glimpses of 

Medway and its people never left 

his mind. 

“I love the history of Medway,” 

says Rice, who as a teenager 

in town read historical 

books about the town written by 

Francis Donovan, available to 

read in the town’s library. “The 

Revolutionary War is what it is, 

but why Lincoln Street is named 

Lincoln Street is (personal),” says 

Rice, who envisioned “getting a 

book next to this book.” 

“What it comes down to is I’m 

still that teenage kid,” says Rice, 

who has a private photography 

business and has recently come

on board as the photographer for 

the Town of Medway’s website. 

His new blog, he says, documents 

“just who we are, a living yearbook 

of who we are right now. I 

see all these photos around town 

as being the history of Medway 

– me capturing what we look like 

now, so that 100 years from now 

we can look back on it. ‘We Are 

Medway’ is just an extension of 

what I’m already doing by taking 

pictures of the town—now 

I’m taking pictures of the town’s 

people.” 

The project is open to everyone 

and anyone that is connected 

to Medway, as a resident, worker 

or volunteer. “I wouldn’t shy 

away from anybody,” says the 

photographer. “I’m honored that 

anyone wants to be part of it,” 

says Rice, who already has built 

a following for a daily project 

he began on October 1, 2009, 

his birthday, with his new Nikon 

D80, the Daily Pic. He has now 

amassed over 3200 daily photos, 

without missing a day, much to 

the delight of his audience on his 

website and Facebook. 

“I just start things and they 

keep going,” says Rice. “It is 

what it is,” he explains, of letting 

each project come to life on 

its own natural accord. “We Are 

Medway” got “an overwhelming 

response in the first few days,” he 

says, and he knew, thanks to how

many people got in touch with

“this is going to be such a great 

project. I don’t know where it’s 

going to go, but we can just see 

it. I’m looking forward to seeing 

where it’s going to go, and I’m 

just doing it.” 

Participants are asked to 

come to Rice’s studio to sit for 

the photo, although the artist will 

make a few exceptions in certain 

situations. The photo shoot, he 

says, takes just a few minutes, and 

a brief conversation leads to the 

special shot. 

“Honestly, what it comes 

down to, is I talk to them. I take 

one or two pictures and then get 

one that gets their personality.”

in the lymph nodes … People 

aren’t dying from breast cancer 

so much (as before), because 

they’ve done so much research, 

and that’s what I wanted the 

money to go toward.” 

The Breast Cancer Research 

Foundation (https://www.bcrf. 

org) funds over 200 researchers 

around the world. 

“They do an amazing job, 

with a bunch of them in Boston 

and just all over the world. 

Ninety-one cents of every dollar 

donated goes to funding research,” 

says McNaney, who also 

has a master’s degree and works 

in the disability resource office of 

Mass Bay Community College. 

Davina had done ultra-marathons 

before, and she did some 

research on long-distance runs. 

“Basically, once I have my 

mind made up, it’s done. I don’t 

stop until I reach my goal,” she 

says. “I looked at everything I 

would need to do to be successful 

and had a plan laid out,” says 

McNaney. Her motivation was 

complemented by her husband’s 

ability to assess risks. 

“He’s an insurance VP, a risk 

assessor. He’s very safe and calculated 

in the way he does things. 

I’m calculated, but I like to take 

calculated risks, and I won’t stop 

until I reach my goal. We’re a 

good team in that sense. We balance 

each other out.” 

No doubt Davina enjoys running. 

Although she’s run marathons, 

that distance, she says, is 

not her favorite. She prefers and 

has done several longer races, 

including 100-mile, 50-mile, and 

50K races. She’s part of a Medway 

running group, The Medway 

Momma Striders. 

“For a 50K, it’s 32 miles. 

Those are usually on trails, easier 

on the joints, not on pavement, 

and going through the woods is 

a much more scenic and relaxed 

feeling, like it being an experience, 

a journey, rather than just 

a race,” says the runner. When 

asked what she enjoys about it, 

the athlete answers, “The solitude. 

The control. I have one job, 

I need to move forward and get 

to the finish line. It’s all under my

simple thing,” she says. 

For this last trek, McNaney 

credits local gym Training for

“They whipped me into 

even better shape,” she says. 

“They had us pushing sleds, 

using body weights, TRX stuff. I 

couldn’t believe how much stronger 

I was getting. It really helped 

with running and not getting injured. 

I feel it was a huge attribute 

this time.” 

Preparing to run hundreds of 

miles isn’t easy. 

“I worked out more than I 

worked,” says Davina, would 

go to the gym five times a week, 

incorporating five or six runs 

that included long runs (about 

20 miles). “Some of it included 

doing up to eight miles dragging 

a tire,” she says. Later, she 

says, she had a nightly routine of 

stretching, Epsom salt-soaking, 

drinking water, a muscle rub and 

more stretching. 

Starting on June 22nd, Davina 

began her run home from 

Boston, even running in 90-degree-heat 

for four days straight. 

“I didn’t collapse,” she says, “I 

made it every day.” Her husband 

and girls encouraged her. “They 

were there with me four full days 

through the Green Mountains. 

I cried every single day – you’re 

emotionally drained. You’re 

physically drained.” The heat, 

the mountains and the sleep deprivation 

were the hardest parts, 

she explains. 

Although her husband and 

girls are very proud of what she’s 

accomplished, Davina has promised 

no ultra runs this year – but 

she won’t stop running. “If I get 

the itch to do something else, I 

can always do a 10K, or 50K, or 

a half marathon.”

The Bank on Campus 

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

But why? 

Is it ATM access? 

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

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

accessing your money from another bank’s ATM. 

But they have “Student Checking.” 

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

students. 

There is a better, local option. 

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

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

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

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

rewards and pay bills with your smartphone or tablet. 

No 1-800 Numbers. 

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

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

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

open an account.

Nipping Underage Drinking, and Littering, in the Bud 

By Dave Pasquantonio 

A bill making its way through 

the state legislature proposes adding 

a five-cent deposit fee to miniature 

liquor bottles in an effort 

to curb roadside litter. 

The bill, if passed, would add 

miniatures—bottles holding 100 

milliliters or less of alcoholic 

beverages—to the state’s beverage 

deposit law. Enacted in 1982, 

that law, more commonly known 

as the bottle bill, adds a five-cent 

surcharge to soda, beer, malt beverage, 

and mineral and sparkling 

water containers. Containers 

brought to retailers or redemption 

centers are worth a nickel 

each to the consumer who takes 

the time to redeem them. 

The bill, designated H.3528, 

was filed in January 2017 by 

Randy Hunt, a Republican 

member of the state House of 

Representatives representing the 

5th Barnstable district, and thirty 

co-sponsors. 

Both the House and Senate 

referred the bill to the committee 

on Telecommunications, Utilities 

and Energy. A joint hearing on 

the bill took place in June 2017. 

In March 2018, the committee 

reported favorably on the bill and 

referred it to the House Ways 

and Means Committee, where it 

now sits with over 600 other bills 

awaiting their fates. 

In a June 2017 press release, 

Representative Hunt said that 

the primary objective of the bill 

is to generate dialogue on littering 

by proposing a policy prescription 

to help reduce it. He 

focused on miniatures, known 

colloquially as “nips.” 

“I hope that by wielding this 

legislation, we can also kick-start 

deeper conversation on the issues 

of underage drinking and driving 

under the influence,” said Rep. 

Hunt, “as nips are frequently associated 

with those societal concerns.” 

The bill has broad support 

from environmental groups 

Take even a short walk around 

Medway or Millis, and you’re 

bound to come across at least 

one discarded nip. Or, in some 

places, many more. Residents 

who’ve worked to clean up roadside 

trash have snapped pictures 

of trash bags holding dozens of 

the tiny bottles. In fact, on Millis 

Beautification Day, sponsored 

by the Millis Lions Club and the 

Millis Garden Club, so many 

nip bottles were picked up that it 

prompted Bill Lawson, organizer 

of the event, to contact Rep. 

Shawn Dooley about supporting 

a 5-cent deposit to discourage litter. 

At first blush, the idea of adding 

miniatures to the bottle bill is 

a sound one. After a few fits and 

starts, the state’s bottle bill significantly 

reduced litter and added a 

new income stream to residents, 

businesses, and states. Unclaimed 

deposits go to the state’s general 

fund, redemption centers get a 

cut of each deposit, and residents 

who take the time to collect and 

redeem containers get a nickel 

per bottle or can. 

Peter Harkey of Harkey’s 

Wine & Spirits in Millis had a 

positive initial reaction when 

learning about the bill. “A brilliant 

idea at first glance,” he said, 

“especially after any technological 

and process challenges are 

solved.” 

Harkey and a few of his customers 

kicked around a few of 

those potential challenges, which 

could turn a seemingly simple 

Millis Resident Dave O’Gara picked up so many nip bottles while 

walking his dog on Millis Beautification Day that he snapped this 

picture of them. Similar experiences by other residents that day 

prompted Millis Lion Bill Lawson to reach out to Rep. Shawn Dooley 

to inquire about putting a deposit on the small liquor bottles. Dooley 

informed him such legislation, H.3528, was filed in January 2017 by 

Randy Hunt, of the 5th Barnstable District. 

idea into a complex one. Would 

manufacturers have to provide 

separate labels for containers sold 

in the state? What about miniatures 

purchased in other states 

but redeemed in Massachusetts? 

Can all of the current redemption 

machines handle bottles the 

size and weight of miniatures, or 

read the tiny barcodes? 

Messages to several liquor titans, 

including Smirnoff, Crown 

Royal, and Pernod Ricard, were 

not returned. 

Dave D’Amico, the head of 

the Medway DPW, said, “I can’t 

speak to the logistics of the deposits 

or returns, but I’ve had several 

interesting conversations about 

roadside trash with residents. 

The single most mentioned item 

they find in the roadside gutter 

is nip bottles. This is primarily 

with people who live on the main 

roads going through town. Some 

of these inevitably wind up in the 

storm drain system. Given that 

we are a small, rural town, much 

of our storm water and the trash 

it collects goes directly to streams, 

wetlands, and the Charles River. 

So, these bottles are at a minimum 

a nuisance and potentially 

a broader ecological problem 

state-wide.” 

Jim McKay, head of the Millis 

DPW, agrees. “When we run 

the town-wide cleanups each 

year, the biggest complaint is the 

number of nip bottles we find,” 

he said. “Hundreds and hundreds 

of them. When we mow, 

they jam up the mowers. They’re 

everywhere.” 

Richard Winslow, who runs 

Winslow Spirits & Things in 

Brewster, isn’t convinced that 

attaching a redemption to miniatures 

would decrease roadside 

litter. “The people who throw 

the empty miniatures out of their 

car windows aren’t going to care 

about the redemption. They’re 

trying to not get caught with the 

empties by the police, their parents, 

or their husband or wife,” 

he said. 

Redemption rates have fallen 

in recent years, perhaps due to 

the increase in and ease of home 

and municipal recycling. In 2010, 

nearly 71 percent of bottles were 

redeemed, but by 2017, that rate 

had fallen to 56.8 percent. Consumers 

may prefer the ease of 

recycling their bottles and cans 

over losing a nickel per container. 

Every bottle and can recycled 

or redeemed means one less bottle 

or can that could end up in 

a landfill or the side of the road. 

Perhaps Representative Hunt is 

right—that merely drawing attention 

to the issue will have a 

positive impact on litter, underage 

drinking, or both. 

“I wish doing the right thing 

was incentive enough for people,” 

said Dave D’Amico, “but 

sometimes a little extra motivation 

might be needed.”

A Family-Friendly Touch at Personal Best 

By Marjorie Turner Hollman 

Kyle Martinis, co-owner with 

Chris Titcomb, of Personal Best 

Physical Therapy, with offices in 

Rehoboth, and now at 65 Holbrook 

Street (Rt. 115) in Norfolk, 

is no stranger to the Norfolk 

area. Martinis grew up in nearby 

Bellingham, and has extended 

family still in the area. While 

Martinis was in his clinical rotation, 

one of his instructors was 

Titcomb, and they quickly hit it 

off. “We just bonded,” Martinis 

said. “We always said we would 

go into business together and 

do it right. Chris was my mentor. 

I worked for several years in 

the Rehoboth office, and when 

we wanted to open a second office, 

I wanted to come back to 

this area where I have so much 

family.” 

During a recent visit to the 

bright, open, sunny clinic overlooking 

Rt. 115 that were built 

out to their specifications, Martinis 

reflected on his journey to 

becoming co-owner of the local 

physical therapy clinic. “I was 

a 3-sport athlete at Bellingham 

High School,” Martinis said. 

“I got a college scholarship to 

Northeastern University, but 

transferred to UMass, Amherst 

to play baseball, and had hopes 

and dreams in that direction, 

but injured my shoulder while 

pitching at college.” 

The process of rehabbing his 

shoulder opened his eyes to the 

field of physical therapy. “I was 

always interested in the medical 

field,” Martinis explained.” 

My shoulder never came back 

enough to keep playing, so I really 

focused on my studies and 

my life went in a different direction. 

My B.S. was in Kinesiology 

from UMass, and I received 

a doctorate in Physical Therapy 

from American International 

College in Springfield, MA. I 

later did post-doctorate work at 

Baylor Hospital in Texas.” 

The co-owners run both clinics 

using the same model. “We 

have set ourselves apart from the 

competition by being therapistowned, 

using a patient-focused 

model and always providing 

1:1 treatment sessions with a 

licensed physical therapist for 

full treatment sessions of 45 

minutes.“ Titcomb said. “We 

found a model that works, so 

we wanted to do the same thing 

when we opened this clinic 

here in Norfolk,” he continued. 

“We’re a small business with no 

assistants and no aides, and all 

treatments are provided by licensed 

physical therapists. Each 

patient has hands-on treatment 

and consistency of care.” 

The clinic in Norfolk has 

been built out to the therapists’ 

specifications, custom designed 

to serve the needs of patients 

with all types of injuries, health, 

and fitness backgrounds. Private 

treatment rooms and an open 

gym concept help accommodate 

each person’s needs. The 

building and all facilities inside 

are ADA handicapped-accessible. 

Appointments are available 

Monday-Thursday, 7-7; Fridays 

from 7-5, and weekends by appointment 

only. 

“We pride ourselves on our 

manual therapy skills and incorporate 

into each treatment 

session, including soft tissue 

massage, manipulation, and 

myofascial release,” Martinis 

said. “There is a lot you can do 

to prevent future injuries. Physical 

therapy is not just useful after 

you have sustained an injury. 

You can be proactive, not just 

reactive. We can do a lot to help 

manage pain and improve quality 

of life. 

Physical Therapist Emily 

Heller is also on staff, so patients 

can choose if they want to work 

with a male or female therapist. 

“Emily has ten years experience 

as a therapist and has been a 

friend for many years,” Martinis 

noted. “When we first opened, 

it was just me—I handled the 

front desk, insurance, booking 

appointments, and providing 

therapy (which helped me learn 

the foundation of our business). 

But we now have Emily, and 

Amanda Ingraham runs the 

front desk. Amanda handles 

all of our patients scheduling, 

referral and insurance needs. 

Amanda is always ahead of the 

game, so all you have to worry 

about is getting better. Fridays 

are an especially popular day for 

people to book appointments. 

This is the day Martinis brings 

his dog, Kona, into the office. 

“She is on her way to becoming 

a certified therapy dog,” Martinis 

said. “She has been getting 

trained since she was 9 weeks 

old. The patients all love her, 

and they bring in dog biscuits 

for her. Friday time slots always 

fill up first!” 

And word of mouth is getting 

out. Martinis explained, 

“We know we’ve been successful 

if a former patient, when having 

a problem with another body 

part, calls us before they even 

call their doctor. They want to 

get in as soon as they can because 

of the level of comfort 

patients have with our team . 

We’ve created a family-friendly 

atmosphere, and our patients 

feel comfortable coming to 

physical therapy at our clinic. 

We’re a referral business—we 

know that if people have a good 

experience, they will tell others.”

Groundbreaking Ceremony at the 

Future Home of the 

Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School 

The Benjamin Franklin Educational 

Foundation on behalf 

of the Benjamin Franklin Classical 

Charter Public School (BFC- 

CPS) is pleased to announce that 

construction has begun in preparation 

for the school’s upcoming 

move to 500 Financial Park 

Drive in Franklin. 


Foundation hosted a 

Groundbreaking Ceremony 

at the new site on the morning 

of June 27th. Special guests 

included Massachusetts State 

Representative Jeffrey Roy and 

Franklin Town Administrator 

Jeffrey Nutting. 

Donald Tappin, President of 

the Benjamin Franklin Educational 

Foundation greeted attendees 

to the ceremony stating “We 

are very excited for the Benjamin 

Franklin Classical Charter Public 

School, after almost a quarter 

century as one of the best performing 

schools in the state, to 

finally have a home of its own. 

We look forward to having the 

Shabtai Sapir, DMD - Board Certified Pediatric Dentist 

Minda Sapir DMD - General Dentistry 

High quality dentistry for the whole family in an 

affordable caring manner at a state of the art office. 

capacity to bring our academic 

success and most importantly, 

the culture of character development 

and community service 

to even more students and their 

families. This project of ours has 

been a long-time in the making 

and would not have been possible 

without the steadfast commitment 

of many individuals.” 

Massachusetts State Representative 

Jeffrey Roy presented 

the school with a special citation 

on behalf of the House of 

Representatives in the Commonwealth 

of Massachusetts offering 

the Benjamin Franklin Classical 

Charter Public School a sincere 

congratulations in recognition of 

the next chapter in the school’s 

educational journey. 

Head of School Heather Zolnowski 

closed the ceremony sharing 

“I am honored to be able to 

speak on behalf of the students, 

faculty, staff and parents of BF- 

CCPS to thank everyone who 

worked so hard over the past 6 

years to make this dream a reality. 

This is an exciting time in the 

history of the Benjamin Franklin 

Classical Charter Public School. 

The new facility and grounds will 

provide the administration and 

faculty with the opportunity to 

enhance an already very successful 

academic program, provide 

a comfortable and safe environment 

for students, faculty and 

staff and secure the schools future 

for decades to come. Our expanded 

school facility will allow 

us to address our historically 

long waiting list for enrollment 

and welcome more students 

into our school community than 

ever before. These opportunities 

would not be possible without 

the collaboration, hard work and 

dedication of the people standing 

before us today.” 

Following the ”turning of the 

soil” invited guests received a 

tour to highlight progress at the 

site. The building’s foundation 

has been poured, and steel delivery 

for the building’s frame has 

commenced. The new 72,000 

square foot facility will open for 

the 2019-2020 school year. 


Foundation secured 

funding for the new school primarily 

through a $24,550,000 

tax-exempt bond issued by Mass- 

Development and purchased by 

Citizens Bank with participation 

by HarborOne Bank, Websterfive 

Bank and Radius Bank. 

The bond financing was supplemented 

with a $2,000,000 loan 

provided by The Property and 

Casualty Initiative. 

The Benjamin Franklin Classical 

Charter Public School 

opened in 1995 and is one of 

the original 13 Charter Schools 

in the state of Massachusetts. 

Priority in the school’s annual 

enrollment lottery is given first 

to siblings of current students, 

then to residents of Bellingham, 

Blackstone, Franklin, Holliston, 

Hopedale, Medway, Mendon, 

Milford, Millis, Milville, Norfolk, 

Plainville, Upton, Walpole, and 

Wrentham. 

The educational program at 

BFCCPS offers a strategic partnership 

with parents, rigorous 

academic program, foreign language 

instruction, commitment 

to arts education, character education, 

and community service 

activities. 

For the 2019-2020 academic 

year, BFCCPS will increase enrollment

7th Annual Medway Town Wide 

Yard Sale Saturday, Sept. 22 

Event Will Benefit the Medway Christmas Parade 


Seven years ago, Christine 

and Andy Parchesky had an idea 

to bring a large-scale yard sale 

into Medway. The couple had 

enjoyed traveling to out-of-state 

flea-market style events, and they 

thought residents of the town 

might enjoy participating. 

“Everybody has such a good 

time,” Chris Parchesky said last 

year, “We bring a lot of people 

to the town, including some customers 

who’ve come for the last 

five years from the Cape. We’ve 

built up a little following.” 

As of August 1, applications 

for the town-wide yard sale will 

be up on the town website, as well 

• No Appointments Necessary 

• Open 7 Days a Week 

• Costcutters.com 

as at several business locations in 

town. (Although not confirmed 

at deadline time, in the past, applications 

have been available 

at Medway Town Hall, Charles 

River Bank, Middlesex Bank, 

Anne’s Market, Star Market, and 

online at the town website, www. 

townofmedway.org.) 

For $10, Medway residents 

who’d like to participate will have 

their address placed on a map 

that will be sold for $1 at Medway 

Plaza (across from Burger 

King), starting at 7 a.m. Out-oftowners 

or organizations without 

a location can rent a booth at 

Medway Plaza for $25. 

All of the proceeds from the 

event, which originally benefitted 

Pencils, books and 

awesome looks 

Medway 300, now benefit the 

Medway Christmas Parade. According 

to Richard Parrella, who 

organizes the annual Medway 

Christmas Parade that draws 

6,000 each year, that contribution 

translates to about $1,400 to 

$1,500 each year for the 26-yearold 

privately funded event. 

“It’s a major fundraiser for our 

parade,” says Parrella. “It supports 

at least 15% of the cost.” 

Parrella says about 93 Medway 

households held a yard sale that 

day as participants last year, with 

an additional 14 booths at the 

Medway Plaza. 

If you have questions about the 

yard sale, feel free to contact Chris 

Parchesky at (508) 533-2774.

The Millis Garden Club recently awarded its 

Ken Nichols Memorial Scholarship for $1,000 to 

Bo Calais, a Millis resident who will be entering

Bo has a strong interest in conservation and the 

environment. His conservation projects include 

helping his parents convert nine cabins on a Maine 

island to run primarily on solar power as well as 

installing solar panels on their Millis home. He says 

he is looking forward this summer to helping his 

mother with keeping a beehive box in an effort to 

bolster the bee population and the environment. Bo 

and his parents were guests at the Millis Garden 

Club’s end-of- the-year gathering held at Primavera

GIVING HIM THE 

TREATMENT 

Not only is it lots of fun to 

plan a spa day with your best 

friend(s), mother, or daughter, 

but it can also be a chance to 

spend special time with the man 

in your life. Duet Services are 

available for couples who enjoy 

experiencing health and beauty 

treatments that firm their 

skin, soothe their muscles, and 

bring out the best in their hair 

and nails. Couples may want 

to schedule a Duet Massage 

(with or without a salt scrub) 

that relieves stress and reduces 

aches and pains in a quiet, intimate 

setting. Duet Facials are 

also available for exfoliating and 

cleansing and hydrating skin, 

while Duet Manicure/Pedicures 

and Duet Hair Services put the 

finishing touches on a relaxing 

day. 

At MACMED SPA SALON 

& MEDICAL, we offer several 

duet services where couples, best 

friends, or mother and daughters 

can come in together, have 

a cup of tea, receive simultaneous 

treatments, and relax. To 

schedule a consultation, please 

call (508) 478-9888. We are located 

at 127 East Main St. in 

Milford. Our hair, nail, and skin 

treatment professionals undergo 

rigorous training and maintain 

the latest techniques and certifications 

in their fields.

Summer Eye Safety 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

We all use sunscreen to protect 

our skin, but don’t forget to 

protect your eyes as well. Summertime 

means more time spent 

outdoors, and studies show that 

exposure to bright sunlight may 

increase the risk of developing 

cataracts and growths on the 

eye, including cancer. The same 

risk applies when using tanning 

beds, so be sure to protect your 

eyes from indoor UV light as 

well. Sunlight reflected off sand 

and water can cause photokeratitis, 

the condition responsible for 

snow blindness, so beach- and 

pool-goers: Take note. 

UV radiation, whether from 

natural sunlight or indoor artificial 

rays, can damage the eye’s 

surface tissues as well as the 

cornea and lens. Unfortunately, 

many people are unaware of the 

dangers UV light can pose. By 

wearing UV-blocking sunglasses, 

you can enjoy the summer safely 

while lowering your risk for potentially 

blinding eye diseases and 

tumors. It is important to start 

wearing proper eye protection at 

an early age to protect your eyes 

from years of ultraviolet exposure. 

Everyone of any age and any 

degree of skin pigmentation 

is susceptible to UV damage. 

Children are particularly susceptible 

to UV damage. People 

with light colored eyes may have 

an increased risk of certain eye 

diseases tied to UV exposure, including 

eye cancer. Some studies 

show that people with certain eye 

diseases such as retinal dystrophy 

may be at greater risk for UVrelated 

sun damage. 

The Ultraviolet (UV) Index, 

developed in 1994 by the National 

Weather Service (NWS) 

and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) helps 

Americans plan outdoor activities 

to avoid overexposure to UV 

radiation and thereby lower their 

risk of adverse health effects. A 

high A UV Index reading of 6 to 

7 means high risk of harm from 

unprotected sun exposure. Protection 

against skin and eye damage 

is needed. Reduce time in the 

sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

Cataract is a clouding of the 

eye’s lens. The lens must be clear 

in order to focus light properly 

onto the retina. Extensive exposure 

to the sun is one of the 

major reasons why we develop 

cataracts. Cataract surgery is by 

far the most common surgery 

performed in the United States. 

According to a national Sun 

Safety Survey conducted by the 

American Academy of Ophthalmology, 

only about half of 

people who wear sunglasses say 

they check the UV rating before 

buying. The good news is that 

you can easily protect yourself. 

In order to be eye smart in the 

Living Healthy 

sun, the American Academy of 

Ophthalmology recommends 

the following: 

• Wear sunglasses labeled 

“100% UV protection”: Use 

only glasses that block both 

UV-A and UV-B rays and 

that are labeled either UV400 

or 100% UV protection. 

• Choose wraparound styles so 

that the sun’s rays can’t enter 

from the side. 

• If you wear UV-blocking 

contact lenses, you’ll still need 

sunglasses. 

• Wear a hat along with your 

sunglasses; broad-brimmed 

hats are best. 

• Remember the kids:It’s best 

to keep children out of direct 

sunlight during the middle of 

the day. Make sure they wear 

sunglasses and hats whenever 

they are in the sun. 

• Know that clouds don’t block 

UV light: The sun’s rays can 

pass through haze and clouds. 

Sun damage to the eyes can 

occur any time of year, not 

just in summer. 

• Be extra careful in UV-intense 

conditions: Sunlight is 

strongest mid-day to early afternoon, 

at higher altitudes, 

and when reflected off water, 

ice or snow. 

By embracing these simple tips, 

you and your family can enjoy 

the summer sun safely while 

protecting your vision …And 

if you have a cataract and it’s 

time for surgery, remember

Thru Hiking the Appalachian 

Trail with Sam Ducharme, 

Wednesday Aug 22, 2018, 7-8:30 

p.m. 

“Not all those who wander are 

lost” – J.R.R.Tolkien 

Those who attend this program 

will be treated to a modernday 

adventure. Sam Ducharme 

set out on a 2180 mile, 14 state 

backpacking trip from Springer 

Mountain, Georgia to Mt. Katahdin 

Maine. During his sixmonth 

journey, he documented 

the rugged beauty of the Appalachian 

Mountains, the wildlife, 

the hardships encountered on the 

trail, as well as the people, culture 

and humanity at its finest. Come 

join him as he takes you through 

the trail towns, over the mountaintops 

and through the backcountry. 

The images and stories 

will leave you with a renewed 

awe of the beauty of our country 

and its people. 

See his gear, how he cooked, 

and hear what it is like sleeping 

in a hammock for six months 

through three seasons. You will 

also hear how Sam returned to 

the trail the following year, connecting 

with aspiring Thru Hikers, 

paying it forward, and his 

return to the summit of Katahdin 

one year later.

Sam Ducharme is a retired 

K9 Officer and is a lifelong resident 

of Connecticut. He has 

two adult sons, both serving in 

the United States Air Force. As 

an avid outdoorsman, and finding 

the empty-nest, Sam decided 

to buy a backpack and a plane 

ticket to Georgia. From there, he 

started walking north. With no 

prior backpacking experience, 

he learned on the trail. Gear, trail 

nutrition, enduring the elements, 

and the logistics involved in a 

long-distance backpacking trip 

were hard lessons. After 20 years 

working within Connecticut’s 

prisons, the search for a positive 

recharge resulted in a life changing 

journey.

Former Dean College Athletic Director, John Jackson 

to Be Inducted into NATYCAA Hall of Fame 

Former Dean College Director 

of Athletics John Jackson 

joined two other athletic 

administrators being inducted 

into the National Alliance of 

Two-Year College Athletic Administrators 

(NATYCAA) Hall 

of Fame in June. 

Jackson, who was named the 

Under Armour Athletic Director 

of the Year on three separate occasions 

(2002, 2010, 2014), was 

inducted alongside Ron Case, the 

former AD at Rowan College- 

Gloucester County and Mary 

Ellen Leicht, the former CEO of 

the National Junior College Athletic 

Association (NJCAA). 

“John’s tireless work on behalf 

of the student-athletes at Dean 

and other institutions continues 

to be noticed long after his retirement,” 

said Dean College 

President, Dr. Paula M. Rooney. 

“That is a testament to his exemplary 

work as an administrator, 

instructor and coach, and we are 

thrilled for him to receive such an 

incredible honor.” 

The honor for Jackson came 

after he spent 37 years in various 

roles at Dean College – including 

27 as the Director of Athletics. 

His tenure with the Bulldogs 

began in 1980 when he took over 

the men’s basketball program 

and guided them to 120 wins in 

ten seasons – the most in the history 

of the program. 

Jackson also served two separate 

stints as the head softball 

coach. His first run (2002-04) 

produced a pair of 20+ win seasons 

– including a school-record 

23 in 2002 - as well as two Region 

XXI Championships (2002, 

2003). Five seasons later, Jackson 

returned for five more seasons 

(2010-14) culminating in an 

18-win season in 2014 that saw 

Dean finish second in the region. 

As an administrator, Jackson 

was instrumental in the construction 

of baseball and softball dugouts, 

the naming of Dale Lippert 

Field, the synthetic turf installation 

at Grant Field, and in the 

process of moving the College’s 

athletic program from NJCAA 

affiliation towards full National 

Collegiate Athletic Association 

(NCAA) membership. 

After stepping down as AD 

on January 1, 2016, Jackson 

moved into the role of Director 

of NCAA Compliance, working 

closely with head coaches and 

student-athletes on issues of eligibility 

and retention before retiring 

in the spring of 2017. 

Jackson’s work was not contained 

to just Dean College as he 

served on numerous regional and 

national committees. He was the 

Chair of the Standard and Ethics 

Committee for the NJCAA, 

while also serving on the NJCAA 

Men’s Lacrosse Committee. 

Additionally, he held the position 

of women’s and men’s 

regional director of the NJCAA 

and was on the Executive Committee 

for the National Association 

of Collegiate Directors of 

Athletics (NACDA). 

The College itself has honored 

Jackson’s commitment, renaming 

the court inside of Pieri 

Gymnasium after him in 2017 

and then establishing the John A. 

Jackson Sportsmanship Award, 

given annually to the studentathlete 

who best demonstrates 

the qualities of sportsmanship. 

The ceremony took place on 

June 28 at the Gaylord National 

Resort and Convention Center in 

Oxon Hill, Md., just outside of 

Washington, D.C.

Why You Need Life 

Insurance — Even with 

No Dependents. 

You may think you don’t need 

to worry about life insurance 

until, or if, you have children. 

After all, there’s no one who relies 

on you to feed, clothe, and 

educate them. Remaining uninsured, 

however, could prove to 

be a big financial mistake, even 

without dependents. Here’s why. 

Life insurance can shield 

your surviving loved ones from 

financial hardships they may face 

if you pass away unexpectedly. 

This could apply to anyone who 

relies on your ability to provide 

for them financially, including 

aging parents or a spouse who 

doesn’t work outside the home. 

Even if your spouse has a fullor 

part-time job, consider what 

would happen if the income 

you bring in was permanently 

lost. Would your spouse be able 

to handle all living expensesincluding 

large bills like mortgage 

payments? Would he or she be 

able to continue paying off any 

debts you share? 

Many partners would not be 

able to cover the expenses of 

their current lifestyles without 

two incomes. So, considering life 

insurance to protect each other is 

a critical financial planning step. 

If you decide to look into life 

insurance, you will have to decide 

how much you and your spouse 

need to protect each other. 

There are several ways to 

determine how much coverage 

you will need. One method is to 

multiply your salary by five or 10. 

This may make the most sense, 

however, when you have minor 

dependents who will need financial 

help to see them through college 

and early adulthood. 

If you and your partner simply 

want to protect each other, 

you may need coverage that will 

cover only one to two years of 

expenses. 

Perhaps the most accurate 

way to measure how much you 

will require is to consider the 

amount your surviving spouse 

would need to handle his or her 

actual financial needs, whether 

it’s paying off the mortgage, satisfying 

debts, or providing care to 

aging parents. 

Life insurance can provide 

you with peace of mind and 

the knowledge that your surviving 

loves ones won’t face serious 

financial hardship after you’re 

gone.

The Medway Police Association is 

hosting its first annual Medway 

Police Chase, a 5K Road Race! 

The race will take place on 

August 25, 2018 at Medway High School 

from 7:30PM to 11:30PM 

The Medway Police Association is striving to give back to the community we care so much 

about! We have organized the first annual Medway Police Chase 5K in order to raise 

money to benefit local organizations. In the past we have donated to numerous groups 

within the town of Medway, such as the Medway High School Football and Hockey teams, 

Medway Youth Baseball, the Medway Amateur Basketball Association, the Medway Lions 

Club and the Medway Boy Scouts. The Medway Police Association has organized an 

extremely successful Christmas gift drive, “In Pursuit of Presents” for children in need. 

We also have had the opportunity to sponsor Movie Nights at Thayer House through 

Medway Cable Access. 

We would love to continue our fundraising efforts, but cannot do it without the help of our 

community! For that reason, the Medway Police Association invites you to participate in 

the Medway Police Chase 5K!

Dean College Welcomes Former NFL Standout Sammy 

Morris to Coaching Staff 

Sammy Morris, a 12- 

year National Football League 

(NFL) veteran who played for 

four different organizations, 

including four seasons with 

the New England Patriots, 

has been named the running 

backs coach at Dean College 

it was announced on Tuesday 

afternoon. 

A member of the Eastern 

Collegiate Football Conference 

(ECFC), Dean competes at the 

NCAA Division III level and 

in recent years has transitioned 

from a junior college to a fouryear 

institution in the process of 

gaining NCAA membership. 

Morris, who has been 

an assistant strength and 

conditioning coach with the 

Patriots since the 2016 season and 

an assistant coach at Attleboro 

(Mass.) High since 2013, will take 

over a ground game at Dean that 

ran for more than 150 yards per 

game and nine touchdowns a 

season ago. 

“We are extremely excited 

to announce the hiring of 

Sammy Morris to coach the 

running backs and special 

teams at Dean College,” said 

head coach Steve Tirrell. “His 

knowledge and experience will 

make an immediate impact on 

our coaching staff and student 

athletes.” 

Morris had a decorated 

NFL career, rushing for more 

than 3,000 yards and 26 

touchdowns while playing for the 

aforementioned Patriots, Buffalo 

Bills, Miami Dolphins and the 

Dallas Cowboys. 

A fifth-round pick out of 

Texas Tech by the Bills in the 

2000 NFL Draft, Morris played 

four seasons in Buffalo before 

signing with Miami in 2004. 

After spending three seasons 

with the Dolphins - including 

the 2004 season when he was 

Miami’s leading rusher - Morris 

signed with Patriots in time for 

the historic 2007 campaign, 

in which New England was 

undefeated until a Super Bowl 

loss to the New York Giants. 

During New England’s 

undefeated 16-0 regular season, 

Morris had back-to-back 100- 

yard rushing performances 

against Cincinnati (21 carries, 

117 yards, TD) and Cleveland 

(21 carries, 102 yards). His 

season was derailed one week 

later, however, when he suffered 

a season-ending injury against 

the Cowboys. 

The 2008 campaign proved 

to be the best season of Morris’ 

career, rushing for a career-best 

757 yards and seven touchdowns 

on 4.7 yards per carry. He had a 

monster performance against the 

Broncos in October, running for 

a career-high 138 yards on just 

16 carries in a 41-7 New England 

victory. 

Morris spent two more 

seasons in New England before 

being released right before the 

start of the 2011 season. He was 

scooped up by the Cowboys late 

in the season and ran for 98 yards 

in three games. 

He played two seasons of 

college football at Texas Tech 

and was an integral part (33 

carries, 170 yards) of the Red 

Raiders upset of No. 5 Texas 

A&M back in 1999. 

A 2000 graduate of Texas Tech 

with a degree in communication 

studies, Morris graduated from 

the Harvard Business School’s 

NFL Business Management 

and Entrepreneurial Program in 

2009. 

Dean football student-athletes 

are slated to return for preseason 

practice beginning on August 10. 

Their first game is a little more 

than three weeks later when 

they travel to Curry College on 

Saturday, September 1.

Kraby Replaces Olson as New Millis Football Coach 

By Ken Hamwey, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Brian Kraby is the new varsity 

football coach at Millis High. 

The 41-year-old Kraby, who 

has a long and rich tradition 

at Millis, played football and 

baseball for the Mohawks, was a 

member of the 1994 Super Bowl 

championship squad, coached 

as an assistant there for 15 years 

and currently is in his eighth year 

as a social studies teacher at the 

high school. 

Kraby replaces Dana Olson,

who led the Mohawks to a pair 

of Super Bowl crowns the last 

two years. Olson will be working 

on a bachelor’s degree in the future, 

and he’ll also be returning 

as an assistant coach. He’ll be the 

defensive coordinator at Milford 

High this fall. 

“I’m honored and humbled to 

be selected as the school’s football 

coach,’’ Kraby said. “Millis 

has a great tradition with winning 

football, and its previous 

coaches have built and sustained 

a rich history with the program.’’ 

No stranger to the Millis 

program, Kraby previously 

spent eight years as an assistant 

to Dave Sperandio from 1997- 

2005 and his last stint with the 

Mohawks was as their freshman 

coach (2012-2014). He also 

was an assistant at Framingham 

High for two seasons. Kraby is 

acutely aware that taking the 

head-coaching reins after Olson 

guided Millis to bowl victories 

over Maynard and Hoosac Valley 

the last two years will be a 

Herculean task. But, he’s eager to 

get started. Opening night for the 

Mohawks will be Sept. 7 against 

non-league Brighton. 

“It’ll be a challenge to keep 

the success going, but I know 

we can sustain it,’’ Kraby emphasized. 

“I’ve got confidence in 

myself, and I know what’s needed 

to get the job done. Coaching at 

the lower levels is a plus, because 

that’s where much of the teaching 

goes on.’’ 

Kraby intends to work vigorously 

with the youth program 

and the middle school team to 

ensure that Millis’ participation 

numbers increase. “My goals are 

to build a thriving culture from 

the ground up and to make sure 

the program feeds itself,’’ Kraby 

noted. “And, we want to continue 

with a winning tradition. I’ll 

stress fundamentals, repetitions 

and being in top-notch physical 

condition.’’ 

Although most of the Mohawks’ 

skilled-position players 

will be graduating, Kraby sees 

strength in both lines and believes 

his forces can contend for 

another Tri Valley League Small 

Division crown. 

“We’ll need to replace 18 seniors 

and a lot of players at the 

skilled positions —he said. “But, 

we’ll be good enough to compete 

for the division title. Our nucleus 

(about eight players) is solid, 

and we’ll have some new faces. 

Our kids are blue-collar types, 

and they’re inspired and hungry 

to excel. And, our captains 

are quality leaders — seniors 

Thomas Sallon (linebacker/tight 

end) and Stephen Melia (fullback/linebacker.’’ 

Labeling his style as “intense,’’ 

Kraby, nevertheless, has 

a keen knack for connecting with 

youths. “The most important 

aspect of my job is to teach our 

kids to be young men with strong 

character and good morality,’’ 

Kraby said. “Football is a way for 

them to build a good foundation 

for those attributes.’’ 

Chuck Grant, the athletic director 

at Millis, is pleased Kraby 

is on board, and he’s a big fan of 

his style. “As a former captain of 

the football program that won 

a Super Bowl in 1994, Brian is 

rich in Millis tradition’’ Grant 

said. “He also was an assistant 

coach when we won the 1999 

Super Bowl. We’re excited to 

have him lead our program and 

to enhance its success in all the 

key impact areas with his passion 

and enthusiasm.’’ 

Kraby recalled the atmosphere 

of that surrounded the 

1994 squad. “We had gone 1-9 

the year before,’’ Kraby said. 

“But, there was a special energy 

and a sense of brotherhood. We 

weren’t big, but we worked hard 

and we were fast. Our team 

chemistry was phenomenal.’’ 

Kraby played guard, linebacker 

and nose tackle at 5-8 

and 190 pounds. He also was a 

catcher in baseball. After graduation 

in 1995, he enrolled at 

UMass-Dartmouth, played linebacker 

and center for two years 

but later transferred to Framingham 

State where he earned 

a degree in history. He also has 

master’s degrees from Cambridge 

College and American 

International College in education 

and school leadership. 

A native of Millis, Kraby and 

his wife Mary have three sons 

and a daughter. 

Aware that he’s following outstanding 

coaches like Ernie Richards, 

Sperandio, Dale Olmsted 

and Olson, Kraby mentions their 

efforts in superlatives. “I played 

for coach Sperandio and he was 

a great motivator whose football 

knowledge was so expansive,’’ 

Kraby said. “All of these coaches 

were outstanding and excelled in 

different ways. 

Another coach Kraby admired 

was his late father (Don-

Millis Girls Soccer Aims to Defend State Title 

By Christopher Tremblay, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Prior to last fall, the Millis 

girls’ soccer team had qualified 

for the Division 4 South 

Tournament three out of the 

four years. Unfortunately during 

that time frame, the Mohawks 

were knocked out twice in the 

Quarter Finals and once in the 

Semi Finals. Last season was a 

different story, and Millis was 

able to exorcise all their demons. 

After finishing the regular 

season 12-2-2 the squad was 

awarded a two seed in the 

tournament where they quickly 

showed that this year was going to 

be different. Millis dispatched of 

Rising Tide (8-0), Cohasset (3-1) 

and Coyle and Cassidy (4-0) to 

grab the Division 4 South Title. 

Next up was uncharted waters 

for these girls – the Division 4 

State Tournament. Millis edged 

Amesbury 2-1 and then Millbury 

1-0 to grab their first State Title 

in eight years. 

Millis Coach Steve Bailen 

knew last fall was going to be 

different. 

“The year before we won 

the State Title, the girls felt 

strongly that they could have 

gone further (Millis went 10- 

4-4 in the regular season and 

was eliminated in the Quarter 

Finals), so leading up to tryouts 

last season they were focused,” 

the Coach said. “It was a team 

that had athleticism, speed, skill, 

persistence and aggression. We 

started off roughly with a tie, a 

loss and another tie before finally 

pulling things together.” 

Coming into this season, the 

Mohawks will be without the 

help of nine seniors from last 

year’s squad. Bailen considers it 

to be a rebuilding of the team 

where he’ll have to do some 

shuffling of players to find that 

right consistency. 

“I’m going to have to figure 

out where everyone will play 

and what they bring to the team. 

That’s all part of being a coach,” 

Bailen said. “I’ve already had a 

group meeting with the team 

setting the tone for the upcoming 

season.” 

The Millis Coach let his team 

know that this was the time 

to get start getting into soccer 

shape and putting their heads in 

the right frame of mind. While 

winning a State Championship 

was great, it’s now in the past, and 

everything going forward should 

be what they can contribute to 

the team this upcoming season. 

Looking to lead the team back 

onto the field and in the right 

direction will be the three senior 

captains in Riley Donovan, Jess 

Krauss and Caira Moynihan. 

They all know what is needed 

to not only get back into the 

Sectionals but return to the State 

Tournament. 

“Coming into the season, we 

need to prepare as much as we 

did last year when we fell short,” 

Krauss said. “This is a new team, 

and we need to bond to become 

successful. As captains, we are 

pushing the conditioning, so that 

we are fit to play in the TVL 

season.” 

With 12 girls returning to the 

field, things shouldn’t be all that 

bad as to knowing where to play 

and what they bring to the team. 

Bailen is hoping that the new girls 

can come in right away and gel 

while creating a chemistry with 

the rest of the team. Moynihan 

and the rest of the captains 

already have the incoming girls 

working out to get ready for the 

season, but have been going to 

camps and bonding. 

Winning the States was a 

team effort, and will once again, 

everyone will have to be on the 

same page if they want to defend 

their title. 

“We all showed determination 

throughout the regular season, 

but once we got into the 

tournament we needed to raise 

our game,” Donovan said. “In 

order to be successful, we had 

to work hard and everyone 

gave 150% on the field; we 

worked our butts off to get those 

Championships.” 

Capturing the State Title was 

another success story for Millis 

High School, the last time the 

girls’ soccer team was in 2009. 

In order for the Mohawks to 

do that last fall the team found 

themselves on the right pace 

entering the tournament. 

“Everyone was clicking, and 

once there they were calm, cool 

and collective and knew what 

had to be done,” Bailen said. “If 

it’s not broken don’t fix it. They 

shook off the nerves and went on 

the run.” 

Millis Soccer Captains Riley Donovan, Jess Krauss and Caira Moynihan 

are shown here with their team’s state championship plaque. This 

year, having graduated nine seniors last year, the team is starting from 

scratch defending the title. 

While being a part of a team to 

capture the State Championship 

was a thrilling experience, the 

squad wanted to win it for one of 

their coaches. 

“It was really emotional 

winning the States, but we 

wanted to win it for Coach 

Olivia Zitoli, a member of the 

2009 team,” Donovan said. “We 

wanted to win it for her as well 

as bringing it back to the school.” 

When the season opens up, 

Millis is hoping to avoid the start

2014 freshman team at Millis. 

“My dad previously coached at 

Xaverian,’’ Kraby noted. “He 

showed me how to mold players 

into responsible young men. He 

was such a high-caliber mentor.’’ 

Kraby’s philosophy of 

competing will be linked to 

competing hard to win, to reach 

one’s potential and to enjoy an 

athletic experience. And, when 

the moment is right, he’ll let his 

players know that their sport is 

a fertile venue to learn real life 

lessons. 

“Life isn’t easy, and at times, 

people have to deal with issues,’’ 

Kraby said. “Sports can teach 

how to overcome adversity, 

how to be responsible and 

accountable, and how to be 

a good teammate, no matter 

whether it’s in business, education 

or sports.’’ 

The new football coach at 

Millis has exceptional perspective 

on his new responsibilities.

Dean College Honored Among 

National Colleges of Distinction 

Dean College has been 

recognized for its committed 

implementation of High-Impact 

Educational Practices, earning 

its title as one of the nation’s 

Colleges of Distinction. This is 

the third consecutive year that 

Dean College has earned this 

honor. 

“We are absolutely thrilled 

to recognize Dean College as 

a College of Distinction for its 

effective dedication to student 

success,” said Tyson Schritter, 

Chief Operating Officer 

for Colleges of Distinction. 

“Colleges of Distinction is so 

impressed with Dean College’s 

curriculum, which is enriched 

with the kind of High-Impact 

Educational Practices that 

are most crucial for student 

development. Such innovative 

engagement is preparing the 

next generation of young adults 

to thrive after college.” 

Colleges of Distinction’s 

selection process consists of 

a review of each institution’s 

freshman experience and 

retention efforts alongside its 

general education programs, 

alumni success, strategic plan, 

student satisfaction, and more. 

Schools are accepted on the 

basis that they adhere to the Four 

Distinctions: Engaged Students, 

Great Teaching, Vibrant 

Community, and Successful 

Outcomes. 

“Colleges of Distinction is 

far more than a ranking list 

of colleges and universities,” 

said Schritter. “We seek out the 

schools that are wholly focused 

on the student experience, 

constantly working to produce 

graduates who are prepared for 

a rapidly changing global society. 

Now recognized as a College of 

Distinction, Dean College stands 

out in the way it strives to help 

New England Steak & Seafood Restaurant 

its students to learn, grow, and 

succeed.” 

Dean College has been 

further recognized with a Field 

of Study badge for its Business 

Management program. This is 

the second consecutive year that 

Dean College has earned this 

honor. College of Distinction’s 

Field of Study badges were 

created to recognize colleges and 

universities like Dean College 

for their innovative leadership 

in higher education. Those who 

have received this honor have 

proven themselves for qualities 

such as breadth of program and 

track record for success.

many awards, recognitions and 

accomplishments that Dean 

College continues to be honored
