A Fresh New Look for

Town Re-Dedicates Joseph P. Hanlon Field
On Friday, September 19, the town of Medway re-dedicated Joseph P. Hanlon Field. The field’s new turf,
renovated track and other improvements were the first of a 3-part athletic field project for the town.

versus the number of fields the
town had. At the Annual Town
Meeting, in May of 2014, the
town of Medway appropriated approximately $4 million for the rehabilitation of its current synthetic
turf field, Hanlon Field, a project
which was completed September
5, and for the construction of two
additional synthetic turf, rectangular, multipurpose fields with
lights.
“We’re very satisfied with the
product we’ve had as far as turf
goes. That (old) turf was about
10 years old,” says Medway’s
Athletic Director, Rob Pearl, who
worked closely on plans to refurbish Hanlon Field. “At that point,
we could’ve gotten another year
out, but the fibers were breaking
down. We contemplated waiting
another year, but all three fields
was a more attractive package. It
made a lot more sense, and there
were some cost saving involved
in that.”
Pearl explains that while about
350 games a year can be played on
grass fields, a turf field can sustain
700-800 with no problem. Plus, he
says, while grass turf takes awhile
to establish and needs rest, with a
turf field “you could be on it that
day,” he says, and “as soon as the

snow melts, you’re ready to go.”
Pearl the Medway “M,” already
emblazoned in the field’s center
is a nice touch, as are the hash
marks. “In the past, those were
painted on for us. Now, it’s part of
the turf product,” says Pearl, who
adds that the track looks like new,
resurfaced with two top coats and
new stripes, and safety netting at

property the town purchased a few
years ago, that needed to be completely designed, with site modifications.”
“This has been a great project.
It took a lot of outreach to get it
funded, to get support for it,” says
Holder, who notes, “A majority of
the funding came through Community Preservation Funds. By
Massachusetts law, CPA funds
can be used for everything, excluding the actual artificial turf,
which cost $1.2 million.”
Local abutters were notified of
these plans, and many attended
meetings, says Holder. As a result, this new field was designed
to have all traffic associated with
it use the High School driveway/
entrance.
In addition to the turf for Hanlon Field, Pearl explains that 16
light bulbs were replaced for the
10-year-old fixtures, but that the
new fields will be getting a more
cost efficient set of light fixtures
that reduces the illumination spill
off, which will minimize any effect on abutters.

“One of the fields was existing

Holder says that the plan is to
have both new fields completed
by the end of November.
With the two new fields, says
Pearl, Holliston High School will
use them from 3-6 p.m. on weekdays (using the high school football field on Friday night games),
while other youth groups in town
can use them from 6-9 weekdays.
Hanlon Field will also be used
by the high school football team
on Saturday mornings only for
practices, which leaves it open
for other groups like Pop Warner,
which can prepare on Sunday for
its games.

man booths, sell tickets, that sort of thing.”
The MEPTO (Medway Elementary Parent
Teacher Organization) Pumpkin fair will take
place this year on Sunday, October 19, from
12 – 4 p.m.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact
Susan Alessandri by email at [email protected].
The event, rain or shine, unless soccer games
are cancelled, coincides with Medway Youth
Soccer Day, says organizer Susan Alessandri,
because “every elementary parent and student
will be at the soccer field at some point.”
The annual PTO fundraiser will feature food,
a bouncy house for kids, booths for the local
lacrosse and baseball organizations, pumpkin
painting, face painting and a Girl Scout bake
sale.
Volunteers are still needed (one hour time
slots), for set up (9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.), ticket
and food sales (noon-4 p.m.), and break down
(4 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.).
“At beginning of every school year, we ask for
volunteers for specific events,” says Alessandri, who is one of eight people on the MEPTO
executive board. “We’re absolutely looking
for parent volunteers for that day and other
MEPTO events. We need people to sell food,

MEPTO’s mission statement explains that
it “exists to promote the academic, social and
personal growth and well being of our Medway
students and strive to foster a strong sense of
community with Medway families.”
The Medway Elementary PTO is made
up of all volunteers and all funding for PTO
sponsored programs comes from fundraisers
held throughout the year. Last year MEPTO
raised $33,000! MEPTO gifted $28,000 to the
schools. $4,000 was used for teacher gift cards
worth $50 to Walmart for school supplies. The
last $1,000 was used to start a new teacher
grant program.
Some of the enrichment programs MEPTO
will support for classrooms this year include the
Eyes on Owls Program, musician and teacher
John Kelleher with his program, Johnny the KTurn the World Around, and National Fitness
Hall-of-Famer Mark Rothstein, with his program The World of Rope Jumping.

Preliminary Design Presented for Millis Athletic Fields Project
By J.D. O’Gara
In mid-September, CDM Smith,
hired by the Town of Millis to
provide an Athletic Fields Preliminary Design Project, came back
with its results. It presented those
results to the Millis School Committee on September 16, and later,
in a public hearing, to residents
and town Selectmen on September 22.
Jim McKay, Assistant Town Director and a member-at-large of
the town’s appointed Fields Committee, noted that CDM’s contract
had required them to have the
whole project priced out by September 22. He explains that CDM
took the first feasibility study and
built on that to come up with these
fields and the design. McKay explains that the Fields Committee is
comprised of a representative from
school committee, Sean Doherty,
a representative from the Board of
Selectmen, Andrea Wagner, and
three members at large, including
himself, Dave Baker and Richard
Nichols. Charles Aspinwall is an
associate non-voting member.
McKay explains that the committee achieved its goal of having
a presentation ready by September
22.
In a community survey of Millis residents taken before CDM’s
research, a majority had expressed
dissatisfaction with the condition of the playing fields (53%)
and the condition of the facilities
(56%) of Millis fields. While 35%
expressed satisfaction with the
availability of fields for use, 34%
were dissatisfied, 24% neutral and
7% offered no opinion. A plurality, almost half (49%) of Millis
residents were dissatisfied with
the adequacy of facilities for their
sports.
Results of the CDM Study
includes a cost comparison of
natural vs. artificial turf over an
8-year-period, suggesting that
although initial costs of artificial
turf are higher, the ultimate breakdown is $520 per 2-hour game
with natural turf, versus $270 per
game with artificial turf, which
can take more play, requires less
maintenance and does not need
rest. The company recommended
the artificial turf product for the
field behind Clyde Brown and
Millis High School and town park
improvements, as well as a new
natural turf soccer field at Oak
Grove Farm.
In the study, at the high school
level, the stadium would be
shifted away from wetlands, include artificial turf, lights and a
concession stand, with facilities,
and an adjacent baseball field
would convert to a softball field.
An additional baseball field would
be constructed where the tennis
and basketball facilities now are,
with tennis and basketball shifted
over to the area behind the town
bandstand. The projected costs for
this range from $4.19 million to
$5.04 million.
At Clyde Brown, the existing
field would be replaced with an
the Fields Committee and Chair
four soccer teams, and that every

to town selectmen on September 22 and the subject is on the November 3 Town Meeting warrant.
artificial, multi-use synthetic turf
field, with drainage, lighting,
fencing and a scoreboard. The
projected costs for this range from
$1.26 million to $1.47 million.
At Oak Grove Farm, behind the
Oak Grove Farmhouse, a natural
turf soccer field would be added.
The projected cost for this field
ranges from $770K to $920K.
Additional parking at Oak Grove
and Town Park would also be
added.
Sean Doherty, a member of
of the School Committee, says,
“This is what we came up with
after an exhaustive search of what
land was available and where we
could legally build these fields,”
He adds, “I think (the town athletic fields project) has to happen.
I think the track team going out
of town, with no home games is
a disgrace, that kids practice in
hallways and on roads. It’s a potential lawsuit, and the track program has quadrupled in the last
year or two.” Doherty stresses
that 97 girls now play soccer on
sport is exploding, with the fields
in dangerous shape that cannot
accommodate the growing need.
“Too many kids are playing on
too few fields, and the fields don’t
hold up,” says Doherty, who adds
that this project “isn’t asking
for anything crazy, just the bare
bones.”
Doherty says he hopes that, in
the future, with artificial turf, the
town might be able to recoup
some of its expense from out-oftowners paying to use the new
space.
McKay explains that various
groups in town were consulted
about the plan, and some had reservations. In particular, the Historical Commission expressed
concerns about the existence and
potential loss of foundations in the
ground behind Oak Grove Farmhouse dating back to the time
of Lansing Village, something
McKay says the town may investigate.
Doherty maintains that the need
for updated fields exists and will
have to be met.
“Right now, all sub-varsity
games have to be played on the
road,” says Doherty, “and Millis
is already in danger of losing the
ability to host playoff games for
soccer and football due to MIAA
rules and regulations. I can’t stress
athletics need to go hand in hand
with the academics, and the academics in this town I would describe as on the cusp of greatness.”
A placeholder has been put on
the warrant for the November 3
Millis Town Meeting to discuss
the Town Fields Project.

would like to donate are asked to
have bagged food items that are
non-perishable, non-expired and
unopened by their doors during
that time. Children will pick up
the food and bring it to the Millis
Ecumenical Food Pantry, where
they will later sort and organize
donations.
Anderson explains that in her
experience, food collection efforts
are more successful in neighborhoods like Ticonderoga, in which
houses are close together, the
neighborhood is not extremely affluent and neighbors have a community spirit.
Anderson explains that the older
youth group, 7th grade and up, is
called Pathfinders, and consists
of about 20 kids, while about 15
children are involved in Kids for
the Kingdom, made up of 4th, 5th
and 6th graders.
“We are doing a lot of really
exciting things this year,” says
the Youth Pastor, noting that
her group has worked with City
Reach, in Boston, run out of the
Episcopal cathedral, in which
students are immersed in what it
is like to live homeless. Students
also participated in a mission trip
this year.
Millis M.E.R.I.T. Haunted Hayride
October 25 at Tangerini’s
By J.D. O’Gara
Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm will once again
come alive with the thrills and chills of a good oldfashioned Haunted Halloween for one night only
this year, Saturday, October 25, from 5:30-10 p.m.
(spooky meter low from 5:30-6:30 p.m., and high
after that!) The event will take place at 139 Spring
Street, Millis, Mass., and tickets are available both
at Tangerini’s and at Roche Bros. for $10 per person or $45 for a family-5 pack. Refreshments will be
available for purchase. For more information on the
hayride, call (508) 376-5024.
Proceeds from the night’s event will benefit
M.E.R.I.T. (Millis Educational Resource Initiatives
Team). M.E.R.I.T. raises funds for a wide variety
of curriculum-related learning projects to improve
teaching and learning in Millis schools. Some of the
recent grants it has provided include one for Polar
sensors and monitors, used by Millis Physical Education teachers, glass fusing training and supplies
for the Art Department, Millis High School’s participation in the Youth in Government program, Live
Scribe Pens for the Special Education Department,
and supplies for the high school’s new 3D printer.
M.E.R.I.T. has also funded projects at Millis Middle
School and Clyde Brown Elementary.
The non-profit team that comprises M.E.R.I.T.
meets for one hour each month and organizes 2-3
fund raising events per year. For more information,

Another Applicant Withdraws
Plans for Medway Lot
By J.D. O’Gara
Although signs had promised activity at “Tri-Valley Commons,” the plot of land between Papa Gino’s
and Charles River Bank in Medway, the developer,
Rich Landry, withdrew his application for the land
in mid-August, according to Suzy Affleck-Childs,
Medway’s Planning and Economic Development
Coordinator.
“There had been a new submittal for Tri-Valley
Commons, but he called last Wednesday and indicated his decision not to pursue it any further,” says
Affleck-Childs. The applicant, she says, had been the
architect for the previous applicant, who also withdrew his application for the land, zoned by the town
for commercial development.
Affleck-Childs explains that the future development
of the parcel has nothing to do with commercial property next to it.
“Even if there are vacancies on an adjacent or
nearby parcel, that does not prevent a property owner
or prospective property owner from seeking to develop that real estate in a fashion that meets the zoning. It’s really their responsibility to do the market
research with due diligence to determine if they feel
that the marketplace can support additional retail
space,” she says.
The town, she says, has a responsibility to issue
permits in accordance with state law. If the property
is zoned for commercial development, she says, the
town does not have the authority to deny an application.

Apps for the Interior Design World
By Alex Yavarow
What was life like before smart
phones? I have only had a smart
phone for three years, but now
that I have one, I don’t know what
I would do without it. It has a
camera so I can snap a quick picture, a calculator so I can quickly
figure the 35% discount on a pair
of shoes, and a GPS in case I get
lost. I can check my email, keep
up with my friends on social
media, and play games when I am
bored in a waiting room. It seems
as though there is an app for just
about everything. There are even
apps that make my job as an interior designer a little bit easier, and
can also be very helpful for people
looking to remodel or redecorate.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Houzz--There was once a time
when gathering design inspiration meant flipping through design magazines and putting paper
clips on the pages that caught your
eye. Or, you’d tear these pages
out and stick them all in a bulky
folder, but inevitably, you’d lose
that one image that really spoke to
your vision. Called “the Wikipe-
dia of interior and exterior design”
by CNN, Houzz is the new way
to organize your design inspiration images and ideas. The app,
which features over 2 million high
resolution photos, is a wonderful
on-the-go resource for finding,
saving, and sharing inspirational
images in “Ideabooks”, so that
you always have them hansy. I
highly recommend that all my
clients start an Ideabook for any
project we work on together so I
can get a better sense of their style
and their desires for the space. As
they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so having a plethora
of inspirational images is invaluable.
Photomeasure Lite--This app
allows you to take a picture of a
space and then draw measurements right on the picture within
the app. While I prefer good old
fashioned graph paper and pencil
for typical measures, this app is
great if you just need to take a few
quick notes on a space. It is also
good for homeowners searching
for furniture or art to determine
whether a piece will fit within the
space, and is a great way to always
have these notes and measurements on the go.
Bubble Level (or any free level
app)--This one is pretty simple,
but it is so great having a level always at your fingertips. It makes
hanging wall art and pictures a
cinch! Color Capture--Let’s say you
have a tea kettle in a pretty pale
yellow color that you really want
to represent in your kitchen design. You’d love to paint your
walls that pale yellow color. The
old method would be you take
home a bunch of paint chips, only
to find that none of them are quite
right. The next step is you start
bringing the darn tea kettle around
with you to paint stores trying to
find a coordinating color, but you
just end up looking silly. Cue the
Color Capture app! With this app
from Benjamin Moore, you can
take a picture of pretty much anything, and as long as it is properly
lit, the app will provide you with a
color match, as well as coordinating colors to choose from!
Alexandra Yavarow is one of the lead interior designers at Masters
Touch, a design-build firm in Holliston, Massachusetts.

12th Annual Walk Against Breast Cancer October 19

Plans are underway for the 12

Congregational Church, 725
Washington Street, Holliston, at
1:30 p.m. (check in from 12:15-1)
th
on Sunday, October 19 this year.
The annual walk, which draws
just under 400, was begun by and
is completed in memory of Maryellen Miller, who lived in Holliston. 100% of proceeds benefit the
Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Since the walk began, “We have
donated more than $500,000 to
DF,” says Kathy Chisolm, one of
the original members who started
the walk who is now volunteer
coordinator, treasurer and Dana
Farber liaison. “Because of the
generosity of our sponsors, we are
able as a group to donate 100% of
all our proceeds to Dana Farber,
and Dana Farber has commended
us on being exceptionally lean in
terms of our expenses. We’re able
to take every dollar walkers raise
and give that right back to DF.”
In 2013, 367 joined in the walk,
and that number has grown, says
Chisolm from 130 in the very first
year.
“One thing that jumps out is that
of those 367 walkers, we span
many generations of participants.
You’ve got everyone from babies
in strollers to grandmothers and
great grandmothers participating,” says Chisolm. “That’s really
heartwarming, to see that so many
generations are participating in
this event and toward this cause.
The walk has two major sponsors, says Denise Cronin, who is
in charge of sponsorship for the
walk. The Walking Company has
been a part of the effort for three
years now. The store, based in
California, with a shop in Natick,
called out of the blue at that time
to donate its services. It generously donates all the t-shirts, says
Cronin, which has to amount to at
least $5,000.

Cancer walk
This year, another donor emerged
out of the blue, says Cronin.
Moe’s Southwest Grill, in Bellingham’s Market Basket Plaza
called and said that the walk’s
mission was really in line with
what he wanted to do, but he
wanted to contribute more.
“He wanted to do an event there
and was really excited, wanting to
get involved,” says Cronin, “He
offered to donate a whole day’s
(October 17) proceeds to the walk.
Having this at Moe’s is going to
bring awareness to our walk in a
different community we’ve been
wanting to reach out to, a really
great base of young people, since
so many people are affected by
breast cancer.”
Even aside from the major sponsors, says Cronin, “The support
we get from the business community is amazing. We have our
banner sponsors, three local businesses that have been sponsoring
for last several years.” The banner
sponsors of the walk include Dr.
Edmon Jacobson, Main Efforts
Financial (located above Fiske’s)
and New England Coffee Company, which has its roots in Holliston. Cronin adds that there are
seven pink ribbon sponsors, donors of $300, and 21 Walk Partner Sponsors ($175). Annmarie’s
Dance Centre supports the walk,
as does The Grapevine, with its
pink event, which will take place
this year on November 6.
“We have such a wide range of
sponsors, it’s just so awesome, it
really is, and we have all kinds
of local people who’ve come forward, businesses locally who donate time and money and goods
and services. We’re very, very
lucky,” says Cronin.
It helps that the group organizing
the event, many original members
who were friends with Maryellen,
runs like, as Chisolm says, “a well
oiled machine. We’ve all been
working together for years, very,
very dedicated women who really
care about this cause, really cared
about Maryellen.”
The day will also include an opportunity drawing and silent auction, both of which feature, thanks
to Dana Farber, a pair of American airlines tickets. There’s even a
New England Patriots ticket package among the auction items.
Every participant is automatically entered in the opportunity
drawing, although tickets are sold
before and at the event. If you are
interested in purchasing tickets,
contact Katy Connors at Connors.
[email protected].
For more information on the
walk, or how to get involved,
visit www.hollistonwalks.org.
Although pre-registration is preferred, says Chisolm, “People can
walk in. We love walk-ins, we
love our pre-registered, we love
them all.”

Avoid Halloween mMakeup
Allergies and Other Reactions

What are the horrors of Halloween? Many might say encountering a gruesome ghoul or a
blood-sucking vampire is the most
horrific part of Halloween. However, an allergic reaction can be
just as scary as ghosts and goblins
come Halloween.
The candy a child eats, the
makeup kids use as part of their
costumes or even the costume itself can cause an allergic reaction.
Parents and kids need to be careful
and exercise their due diligence to
avoid possible allergens.

Edible treats
Food allergies abound in children
and adults. Many commercially
produced candy and chocolate
bars are manufactured in factories
that also process peanuts and other
tree nuts, so exercise caution with
treats. Baked goods may contain
wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and any
number of other food allergens.
It’s wise to have a variety of inedible treats available for trick-ortreaters or party-goers, including
stickers, pencils and small toys.
Halloween should be an enjoyable day for the young and the
young at heart. This beloved holiday can be made safer by avoiding
common allergy triggers.

Costumes can induce an allergic reaction as well. If costumes
are older and packed away in a
basement or attic, trapped dust
and dust mites can make it difficult for those with allergies or
asthma to breathe. Accessories
used for many common Halloween costumes also may cause
reactions. Crowns, magic wands
and faux jewelry that uses metals
like nickel may cause rashes and
irritation. Beware of nickel and
cobalt, which can trigger allergic
reactions.
Those who want to create a
spooky environment at their Halloween parties should be advised
that fog machines can trigger
asthma attacks in some people.
It’s best to check with party attendants before firing up the fog
machine.

reactions. Certain makeup is not
advisable to use around the mouth

all packaging for any warnings.
High-quality theater makeup may
be a better option than the cheap
crayon sticks sold at costume
stores. In any event, always test
makeup on a small area of the skin
well in advance of Halloween. If a
rash or any abnormality occurs, do
not use the makeup.

Excellence in Cataract Surgery:
Know What You Should Expect
By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,
Milford Franklin Eye Center
Cataract surgery is by far the
most common surgery performed
in the United States. With advanced technology and highly
skilled surgeons, modern cataract
surgery should be a rather quick,
outpatient and minimal risk procedure. Your expectations should
not only be to improve your vision, reduce glare at night, achieve
brighter and more vivid colors
and an overall improvement of
your day to day activities, but you
should also have an opportunity
to reduce your dependence on
glasses or contacts and in many
cases eliminate this need. In 2014,
how do you know you are getting
the best resources, experience,
skills and outcomes? Here are the
questions you should be asking
your surgeon:
• What type of anesthesia am
I going to get? With modern
cataract surgery, most surgeries should be completed under
topical anesthesia and local sedation. Local sedation means
that the anesthesiologist will
give you minimal sedation,
allowing you to recover your
activities after surgery almost
immediately with little or no
risk on your health. Topical anesthesia means that the surgery
eye becomes numb with drops.
No need for injections and
shots around the eye. No shots
translates into less risk of bleeding and side effects from the
shots. Ask your surgeon about
his techniques and how your
procedure will be performed.
• What are the risks? One of the
most dreaded risks of cataract
surgery is accidental damage to
the posterior capsule, which is
the back wall of the bag holding your lens. This complication should happen in less than
5% of the cases, and the source
of this information should be
credible. Ask your surgeon
about his/ her complication
rate.
• Where will the surgery be
performed? Different centers
have different equipment and
resources. For instance, Massachusetts has only two centers
offering bladeless cataract surgery, one of which is located
in Waltham, MA and offering
free door to door transportation
service. Bladeless laser assisted
surgery should be an option if
you want to reduce dependence
on glasses at the same time as
your cataract surgery is being
performed. This technology
can also soften the cataract if it
is dense and thick, allowing a
safer and better outcome. Ask
your Ophthalmologist if he/ she
is able to offer this technology.
• What type of implant am I
going to get? Different lens
implants can be used during
cataract surgery with different
materials, quality and ability to
reduce your need for glasses.
Ask your surgeon what type of
implants he/ she uses and why.
• Will my need to wear glasses
be reduced? Cataract surgery
is a wonderful opportunity to
limit or eliminate your need
for glasses. As the surgeon
removes the cataract, there is
an opportunity to replace the
cloudy lens with a special high
tech implant able to achieve
this goal. The new bladeless
laser assisted surgery offers the
opportunity to correct astigmatism at the same time as the surgery, allowing the lens implants
to correct for distance, near and
everything in between. Ask
your surgeon if he/ she is able
to achieve this goal.
complication is one of the lowest
in the Nation and is measured by
independent sources. We operate
in a state-of-the –art surgery center
in Waltham, offering door to door
complimentary concierge service.
100% of the blameless cataract
surgeries are performed under
topical anesthesia, so only drops,
no need for shots and their risks
and no need for stitches. There is
a new frontier in cataract surgery,
and we are proud to offer world
class outcomes closer to home.
For more details, see our ad on
this page.
• What will be my vision on day
one after the surgery? One of
the measurements defining outcomes of cataract surgery is the
quality of vision the day after
the surgery. Surgeons should
strive to produce a corrected vision as close to normal as possible on day one.
Cataract surgery is all about
better precision, more safety
and excellent outcomes. At Milford Franklin Eye Center, Dr.
Kaldawy is proud to be the first
and only surgeon in the area and
among the first in Massachusetts
to offer bladeless laser assisted
cataract surgery. We are happy to
bring this technology to the area.
We implant high quality premium
lenses, with correction for distance, near and everything in between. Many cases of astigmatism
are no longer a problem, as these
implants can now be offered even
if you have astigmatism thanks
to bladeless laser surgery. Our

but to have it as an adult can be
humiliating, effecting a person’s
social life and career.
What causes adult acne?
Like teen acne, most adult
acne is an inherited tendency of
the pores to clog up with dead
skin cells too quickly leading
to acne forming events. Some
people never “outgrow “their
acne. Other people, particularly
women, can have adult onset
acne. They never had it in their
teen years but started breaking
out in their twenties and thirties. Why their acne remained
dormant in their adolescence is
a mystery, but many things can
contribute to the onset of adult
acne.
Hormonal fluctuations
caused by pregnancy, menstrual
periods and menopause can
cause acne flare-ups in women.
Medical conditions like
PCOS (polycystic ovarian
syndrome) or thyroid disorder
can affect the skin. Medications
which contain lithium, steroids,
and high androgen birth control
pills can worsen acne.
Pore-clogging makeup, skin
care products and hair products
can aggravate acne. Daily use
of inappropriate moisturizers,
sunscreens, foundation and
blush can lead to breakouts.
Loose powder mineral makeup
is best because it contains no
pore clogging oils.
Stress plays a role in adult
acne. While stress itself doesn’t
cause acne flare-ups, it can
aggravate hormones that do.
The higher your stress level,
the more prone you are to break
out.
Treating adult acne.s
The challenge of treating adult
acne is that skin is generally
drier and more sensitive. Acne
products that work well on teen
skin may be too drying on adult
skin or cause irritation. It is important to use the right strength
of acne- clearing products on
older skin, and to start slowly
with a home care regimen,
allowing the skin to gradually
adapt to strong products. The
good news is that because of
their exfoliating properties,
some acne products can be beneficial for anti-aging, smoothing
skin texture and lightening dark
spots.
At Skin Smart Salon I work
with adult acne sufferers to help
them achieve a lifetime of clear
skin. There is no need for anyone, teen or adult to be embarrassed by acne and the scars it
can leave behind.

Fat Loss the Easy and Healthy Way
According to Carol Mercier,
who did the program at New England Fat Loss with her husband
Ken, it is easy. It is doable. ”I was
seeing Dr. Johns for chiropractic care and he really thought the
weight loss program would help
me,” Mercier said. She and her
husband decided to do it because
she trusted Dr. Johns. “We started
at the very end of May and we
have both lost and maintained a
50 lb weight loss!” Mercier added.
“I think I lost around 35 lbs in 45
days and my husband lost 45 lbs
in 45 days,” Mercier said, “within
the first couple of weeks I came
off my blood pressure and fibromyalgia meds and my husband
also was able to stop taking acid
reflux medication.” “We feel terrific,” she adds enthusiastically.

PARCC Or MCAS: MetroWest Towns Make Their Decisions
by Jane
Lebak
It’s a truism that only death and
taxes are inevitable, but Massachusetts students know there’s
another inevitability: standardized tests. The question this year
is which one?
Massachusetts has made the
decision that the MCAS test, developed after the passing of the
Massachusetts Educational Reform Act in 1993, is no longer
applicable to the material being
taught in Massachusetts schools.
The Department of Education has
therefore explored two options: to
revamp the MCAS test so it more
adequately reflects what students
are being taught, or to switch to a
new test entirely.
The proposed new standardized
Local Groups Oppose Adoption
of Common Core
By Jane Lebak
three states.
Dumbing down education? Lowering standards? Setting a national curriculum without
any advice from actual educators? These are the
accusations some level against Common Core.
Critics of Common Core argue, among other
things, that the English literature standards remove classical literature in favor of newspaper
and magazine articles, and that the Algebra II
section (with calculus optional) is too weak for
STEM college requirements.
The Common Core Forum is a grass-roots organization protesting the Common Core standards. They have introduced legislation in Massachusetts to delay implementation of PARCC
and to give parents the right to opt out of Common Core and the statistics-gathering.
In Medway, one such group is Medway Matters.
They’re on Facebook at https://www.facebook.
com/pages/Medway-Matters-Parents-AgainstCommon-CorePARCC/608596772541825.
Hopkinton’s group Core Concerns is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/hopkintoncoreconcerns.
Common Core Forum argues that the adoption of the Common Core standards has been
cloaked in transparency, as opposed to the openness surrounding the MCAS standards developed in 1993 with the passing of the Massachusetts Educational Reform Act.
According to a guest editorial in the Herald
this June, 60% of Massachusetts school districts
have voted to delay, defer or reject the PARCC
test.
Common Core Forum has introduced the
“Let’s Stay No. 1” legislation package. This
package includes legislation to allow parents to
opt out their children from the PARCC tests. It
also allows parents to stop the collection of data
by CCSS if they find it unnecessary or intrusive.
They are also arguing for a two-year moratorium on the PARCC test and a reversion to the
pre-2010 Massachusetts educational standards.
You can read about Common Core and the
Common Core Standards at http://www.corestandards.org where they address many of the accusations of their critics.
The thrust of Common Core is to have all fifty
states adopt the same educational standards and
enable curriculum analysis across state lines. To
date, Common Core has been adopted by forty-

• Up to $4,000 for High Efficiency
SAVING ENERGY, SAVING GREEN
WITH ZERO% FINANCING
Last year, Massachusetts initiated a two-year process of testing
the test. In Phase I, certain classrooms participated in the PARCC
test while the rest of their schools
took MCAS. This year, in Phase
II, districts were allowed to choose
whether to have all their students
use PARCC or all their students
use MCAS. Based on the results
of operational testing this year,
the Department of Education will
make a determination in Fall, 2015
as to whether the state as a whole
switches to PARCC, or whether
we develop the next generation of
MCAS.
PARCC is part of Common
Core. The Common Core standards are not without controversy,
and many parents and educators
have reservations about the way
the standards were implemented
as well as the standards themselves.
Local school districts each took
a long look at all the factors before deciding whether to opt in to
PARCC or remain with MCAS.
The Department of Education and
Superintendent Association each
hosted meetings to share information to help each district make the
decision.
This past July, the Framingham
school committee voted 4-3 to
stay with MCAS rather than move
to PARCC. This was over the objection of Stacy Scott, the superintendent of schools. Medway also
has voted to delay PARCC for
another year.
Joan Lynn, Millis’s Director of
Curriculum K through 12, believes a change was necessary.
“When the state of Massachusetts
rewrote their curriculum framework, it became obvious that
the current MCAS testing didn’t
match what our standards were.”
In her view, the dialogue about the
different tests is in and of itself a
benefit to students. “This is not a
bad conversation to be having in
Massachusetts.”
Holliston school district made
the decision in June to remain with
MCAS for the current year. Dr.
Sara Ahern, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, says, “I wouldn’t
say it was a difficult decision, but
it was one that needed careful consideration. The superintendent and
I tried to present multiple aspects
of the decision for the school committee to consider.”
She adds, “One of the benefits
of staying with MCAS is not
creating too much change while
there’s still a little uncertainty.”

PARCC
Joyce Edwards, Director of Instructional Services for the Franklin school district, also highlights
the change as a motivating factor
– but in the other direction. Franklin has chosen PARCC for its students. “We wanted our students to
have first crack at becoming proficient with the next generation of
testing.” Last year’s pilot testing
also helped drive Franklin’s decision. “The kids responded very
well to PARCC and were very
comfortable with it.”
Millis opted for MCAS. “We
were on the fence,” says Lynn,
“because there’s no harm in going
to PARCC. We won’t be penalized. But is it worth giving up
MCAS for one year if the state
of Massachusetts decides in six
months to stick with MCAS?”
As with Holliston, the uncertainty
seems to have been the driving
factor for Millis. “The school
committee recommended we stick
with MCAS, mostly because the
state hadn’t made its definitive
answer.”
No matter what the state decides, Franklin’s Joyce Edwards
feels a change in testing is to everyone’s benefit. “If the test itself
aligns better with what’s being
taught in the classroom, that’s
better. MCAS no longer measures
what we’re actually teaching. The
teachers also felt that there was a
tremendous benefit to assessing
what students actually learn.”
Millis’s Joan Lynn also is confident the process will work out
in the students’ best interest.
“They’ll go through this year and
administer the tests. They’ll tabulate the results, get feedback, look
at surveys from kids and teachers,
and look for impacts. They’ll look
at the results once they’re scored.
Did this assessment match our
standards? Then Massachusetts
will also ask if it’s a match for
Massachusetts.”
In the end, the students matter
more than any standardized test.
Lynn says, “We’re looking for
more real life experience for kids.
Less multiple choice and more
open responses. More explaining
your work. More opportunities for
kids to be really assessed for what
they’re doing in their schools.”

Pierre-Charles’ Patience Paying Off For Millis Eleven
By KEN HAMWEY
Chris Ahl was a dominant running back for Millis last year, but
he’s graduated, leaving the highprofile role to Josh Pierre-Charles,
a 5-foot-9, 185-pound junior
whose patience has been a virtue
for the Mohawks.
As a sophomore last season,
Pierre-Charles gained 780 yards
and scored eight touchdowns as
the Mohawks’ second option.
Whether teaming with Ahl or
filling in to give him a breather,
Pierre-Charles displayed terrific
ability as an all-purpose back who
can use speed to get outside or rely
on power to run over an opponent.
New coach Dana Olson has high
expectations for his featured back
and knows the time has come for
Pierre-Charles to step into Ahl’s
shoes to provide an offensive
spark for the Mohawks.
“Josh is a special player,’’ Olson
said. “He’s waited his turn to become a fulltime starter. He’s an
explosive runner who goes 4.5 in
the 40. Dale Olmsted (last year’s
head coach) gave Josh his share
of carries and he complemented
Ahl well. Josh has been patient
and that says a lot about his character.’’
Pierre-Charles has an insatiable
work ethic and he’s always striving to improve in all areas.
“I’ve worked to improve on
reading linebackers and making
my cuts more efficient,’’ PierreCharles said. “Getting to the outside quicker is another area where
I strive to be better. At safety, I
try to understand offensive sets
and know where the receivers
are going. Another key is closing down the alley a running back
chooses.’’
Millis Junior Josh Pierre-Charles will finally get to shine this year as
Millis’ full-time starter.

Two of Pierre-Charles’ best
games last year were at opposite
ends of the schedule. In the opener
against Greater New Bedford, he
scored two touchdowns and in
the playoffs against Diman Vocational he demonstrated his speed
and power that resulted in an 80yard touchdown.
“I was at the fullback slot and
ran right,’’ he recalled. “I hit the
lineman, bounced off him, reversed direction to the left and
outran everyone for a touchdown.
That score put us comfortably
ahead.’’
Pierre-Charles is hoping Millis will be comfortably ahead
again in the Tri Valley League
Small Division standings. After
qualifying for their third straight
playoff berth last year, he’s optimistic the Mohawks can earn a
Super Bowl date in December. So
far, the Mohawks are 1-1 in nonleague games and Pierre-Charles
has rushed for 250 yards and has
scored three touchdowns.
“I’m confident we’ll be in the
playoffs again,’’ he said. “And, I
think we’ll get to the Super Bowl.
I say that because we’ve got more
experience this season and we’ve
matured as a group.’’
A fan of both Olmsted and
Olson, Pierre-Charles rates both
as “outstanding motivators’’ and
he’s delighted the transition has
gone smoothly. “Coach Olson is
more defensive-minded but with
very little change, we’ve adjusted
quickly,’’ Pierre-Charles said.
The Millis native, who spent
five days a week during the summer in the weight room, also has
high praise for two of his blockers
and a teammate in the secondary.

nior running back and Brian Espanet is a cornerback who’s in sync
with Pierre-Charles in the secondary. “Pete and Tom are big and
quick and open holes effectively,’’
Pierre-Charles said. “And, Brian
is a very capable defender in the
secondary.’’
Pierre-Charles expects to play
football in college, and he wants
to major in communications and
someday work as a television
sports announcer. “Josh is an explosive back who’ll draw interest from recruiters,’’ Olson said.
“He’s definitely a college prospect
who could play at the Division 1
level.’’
Pierre-Charles first handled a
football at the age of five. Since
that time, he’s worked hard to
sharpen his skills. He also competes in track in the 100, 200 and
long jump, another avenue he’s
chosen to improve his overall athletic ability.
Millis grid fans no doubt like
what they’ve seen when PierreCharles takes a handoff or grabs
a screen pass and they no doubt
are delighted he’ll be in the Mohawks’ backfield for another year
next fall.
Josh Pierre-Charles is a prime
example of understanding that patience is a virtue.

Brandon Aims to Take Medway Boys Soccer to Top
by
Christopher Tremblay
Over the past two years the
Medway boys soccer team has
captured a Division 2 South and a
Division 3 South Championship,
but has not been able to come out
on top in the State Title game. In
2012, after going 14-3-1 during
the regular season Medway fell to
Groton-Dunstable 2-0 in the Division 2 Championship contest and
last year, despite positing another
phenomenal regular season (132-3), was ousted by Belchertown
2-1 in overtime.
As the Mustang’s freshmen
boys soccer coach for the past
three years, Neil Brandon has
been elevated to the varsity boys
head coach this fall and is hoping
to take Medway to the Promised
Land.
“We’ve been to the finals for
the past two years and have a lot
of experience, we’re proven winners,” the new head coach said.
“I’m looking to get this team over
that Finals hump, something we
haven’t been able to do the past
few years. This team is extremely
hungry, willing to work hard and
get back to where they want to
be.”
Brandon’s Mustangs will be
taking a one-day-at-a-time attitude, while staying healthy and
hopefully peaking in November.
Medway will be returning seven
starters and the first player off the
bench from last year’s squad, and
that makes the new coach very
happy.
“That’s a very good chunk of
talented athletes coming back,”
Brandon said. “As a coach, I am
extremely lucky.”
Although the coach is very lucky
to have the amount of gifted soccer players taking the field once
again this fall, he did lose Justin
Kaplan, a 4-year striker that netted
16 goals and 12 assists last year.
Those numbers will be tough to
replace, but junior Jake Warren is
going to give it his all.
“Jake, who was third on the team
in goals and second in points, was
named Co-MVP of the team in addition to being named to the TriValley League All Star squad,”
the coach said. “He’s very dangerous on the wing; aggressive when
he attacks and just doesn’t let the
opposition rest.”
In addition to Warren, Medway will return 4 senior and one
junior captains, all whom bring
something different to the team
in their own way. Senior captains
include Henry Cobb, a four year
left fullback; twins Adem (midfield) and Alex (center defender)
Karacaogu; and Brendon Robinson, midfielder. Junior keeper
Mike Baggon is the final Mustang
captain.
Medway has one and only one
goal for this soccer season – State
Championship or bust.
“It is very high expectations, but
we’ve been to the state finals the
past two years with a core group
of athletes that are passionate
about getting over that last hurdle,” Brandon said. “You’ve got to
credit Jeff Hallenbeck (the team’s
past coach) who really changed
the culture of soccer at Medway.
His emphasis on possession soccer and the technical aspects of the
game cultivated the cohesiveness
of the program on all levels.”
Playing in the TVL, the Mustangs will have its hands full game
New Medway Boys Varsity Soccer Coach Neil Brandon plans to take the team where they want to be, to the
State Final.
after game, there will be no easy
teams. However, winning has become contagious in Medway, and
Brandon firmly believes this is the
year the Mustangs make it to the
top of the mountain.

Millis Public Schools Begins
Analysis of MCAS Results
Joan Lynn, Director of Curriculum,
Millis Public Schools
The Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and Secondary
Education has released the results of the spring 2014 MCAS
assessments. The Millis Schools
is pleased with our initial review
of the data. Students and teachers have continued to work on
enhancing instructional strategies
and learning in the classroom; and
we are seeing the results.
We have historically focused
our initial analysis on the number
of students falling into the top two
categories - Advanced and Proficient. The data again showed
us that Millis students are doing
considerably better than the state
average. Millis students continue
to outscore the state average in 5
out of 7 ELA categories, 6 out of
7 Math categories and 2 out of 3
Science tests.
The Millis Public Schools is succeeding in moving more students
into those top two categories. This
year’s results show 75% of the
Millis students taking the MCAS
scored in the Advanced and Proficient categories compared to 69%
across the state in the area of English Language Arts, an increase of
2% over last year’s results. A significant increase of 10% in grade
3 over the state average represents
a movement of 12% over last year
within our district. This kind of
growth supports the implementation of researched based-instructional practices that is happening
in our classrooms. Our 7th, 8th
and 10th graders continue to do
well with 85%, 92% and 97%
respectively scoring in the Advanced and Proficient categories.
In mathematics, the district results show 67% of our students are
in those top two categories compared to 60% at the state level. The
most significant increase was our
grade 3 students. Eighty-five percent of them scored in the desired
categories, 16% over the state average and up 19% over the 2013
scores. While we are pleased with
most of our data, we have identified areas where we need to improve, particularly in math.
As we continue to examine
the data, we will be looking specifically at strengths and areas of
concern. We need to look at our
curriculum, our instruction and
the needs of our students. The
continued implementation of our
middle school math, as well as increased emphasis on writing at the
elementary school this year, will
be key for us to personalize the instruction to meet those needs. We
will develop plans for enhancing
our strengths and addressing the
areas of need. MCAS presentations will be offered to the School
Committee in early October and
are videotaped for the local cable
station as well as posted on our
website, www.millis.k12.ma.us

Come Stuff a Truck with Food for Millis Food Pantry
October 18
Event at Rocky’s Presented by Be Confident,
Be Courageous and Millis Lions
By J.D. O’Gara
Millis has a growing number
of families relying on the Millis
Ecumenical Food Pantry in the
basement of Church of Christ.
Wouldn’t it be great to stuff a
truck full of food to stock those
shelves for the coming winter
months?
That’s the idea Maria Melchionda, owner of Be Confident,
Be Courageous (www.beconfidentbecourageous.com) had when
she approached the Millis Lions
Club to participate in the “Stuff a
Truck for the Millis Food Pantry,”
to be held at Rocky’s Ace Hardware in Millis, from 10 a.m. – 4
p.m. on October 18th.
“Maria and I are good friends,
and I helped her with all her PR
aspects of her company,” says
Millis Lions Club President Debbie Hayes. “She called the Lions
and said ‘I’d really like to do this,’
and I took it to the board, and they
unanimously said absolutely.”
“In sponsoring the ‘Stuff a Truck
for the Millis Food Pantry,’ we
wanted to give back to our community to help others. We know
that the Food Pantry has been
struggling, so it was necessary to
coordinate this drive for the people
of our community who need assistance. We saw a need and wanted
to do something, and what a bonus
when the Millis Lions Club said
yes to co-sponsoring it with us! It
is an honor to work with them,”
says Melchionda.
The Millis Lions Club (www.
millislionsclub.org), originally
chartered in 1945, currently has
66 members, who work to support Massachusetts Lions Eye
Research and the national Lions’
fund that gives money for eye research internationally, says Hayes.
They also support the local community.
“Specifically, within the town,
we support the food pantry, seniors, students, with scholarships
and more. Last year, there were
seven recipients of scholarships.
Every other year, we do an auction
in March (to support the scholarships),” says Hayes.
Be Confident, Be Courageous is
a company that sells products that
inspire, with messages of hope.
It seeks to raise awareness of the
simple things in life, such as appreciating others, spending time
with loved ones and living your
dream. Each month, it chooses a
different nonprofit organization
with which to share a percentage
of its profits, and on March 23,
2015, it will host the conference
“Taking the Lead for Children
(TLC) at the Sturbridge Host
Hotel, in Sturbridge, Mass.
If you know of a charity in need
of financial assistance within your
community, please tell them to
visit www.beconfidentbecourageous.com and apply for the Charity of the Month.

Everything Teens Need to Know
About Sex Ed They Can Learn...
in Church?
Anatomy, puberty, dating and
relationships, gender identity and
sexual orientation, lovemaking
and masturbation, contraception
and unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, sexual
abuse, communication skills and
decisionmaking. These are some
of the core topics in Our Whole
Lives, the sexuality education
program offered by First Parish
Unitarian Universalist Church in
Medfield, open to teens in Medfield and nearby towns.
Our Whole Lives was developed
by two faith communities, the
Unitarian Universalist Association
and the United Church of Christ.
The curriculum is secular in content but reflects the inclusive, progressive, justice-oriented values
of both denominations. Parents
of participants attend an orientation to become familiar with the
program’s content, values, and
assumptions. OWL facilitators, in
this case members of First Parish
in Medfield, are fully trained, experienced and teach in groups of
two or three. OWL curricula are
available for many ages: Grades
K-1, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, for Young
Adults, and for Adults. First Parish began offering OWL in 2004
and will be offering the Grades
7-9 and Grades 10-12 classes on
Sunday evenings during the 201415 school year.
The goal of OWL is helps participants gain the knowledge, values
and skills to lead sexually healthy,
responsible lives. OWL is based
on the idea that knowledge about
human sexuality is helpful, not
harmful, in promoting a sexually
healthy, responsible society. In
OWL, teens have the right to ask
questions about sexuality, explore
those questions, and be treated
with respect by their adult facilitators and by one another.
If you or your teen is interested
in OWL, there is a mandatory
parent orientation (without teens)
on Sunday, October 19 at 7 p.m.
at First Parish, 26 North St, Medfield, and teens start the program
Sunday, October 26 at 7 p.m.,
meeting a few Sunday evenings
each month throughout the school
year. Contact Alison Streit Baron,
Director of Religious Education at
First Parish, [email protected].

bringing together - aligning, balancing, and centering the mind,
body, and spirit. When we rely on
the steady flow of our breath, yoga
postures and ultimately meditation
becomes easier; the daily challenges of life become less taxing
and we are better able to relax and
be at peace. We will go through
a yoga practice, emphasizing the
idea of “your mat - your practice”
which simply means honoring your
body and doing what feels right for
you to do during the time that we
share. Finally, we will close with a
guided meditation. No experience
with yoga or meditation is necessary. Children over 12 welcome.
Fee: $50m/ $60nm
Pre-registration is required for
all programs (except as noted).

Porter Runs for 2nd Vice District
Governor of Lions 33K
Raffle tickets to Win Autographed NFL
Football Still Available
By Judy O’Gara
Not just anyone can lead a
Lion, especially members of
the charitable organization, The
Lions Club, but Holliston Lion
Andy Porter is aiming for the
seat of Second Vice District
Governor of The Massachusetts Lions District 33K, which
oversees Lions activities in 48
cities and towns. Hank Tamagno, who manned Andy’s
fundraising booth at Celebrate
Holliston (that sold raffle tickets for a football signed by Tom
Brady and Gronk), has full faith
that Andy can do it. He should
know. A Lion for over 30 years,
Hank is a past District Governor
for 33K. (1997-1998).
“The raffle is to raise money
to help Andy get elected,” said
Hank, at the booth.
Asked why he aspired to such
a goal, Andy, a former Holliston Selectman and Holliston
Citizen of the Year, replied,”
There’s a progression to being
a Lion. For 15 years, I did nothing but flip burgers and make
pancakes,” he says. “But I’m
interested in the charities Lions
donates to and I’m very interested in the community work.
I’m a former selectman, and
I’m always doing something to
keep myself busy. Sometimes
the rewards are not evident, but
they are in Lions.”
If you are interested in donating to Andy’s campaign
(separate from Lions charitable
fundraising events), or even
if you simply want to win the
NFL autographed football,
which will be raffled off in November, call Hank Tamagno at
(508) 429-5759.

Tri-County Grows
Produce for Franklin,
Medway Food Pantries
Tri-County Regional Vocational
Technical High School’s garden is
in full bloom and the school has
already harvested enough produce
to donate to two food pantries this
year.
In the past, the school has donated all of its bounty to Franklin
Food Pantry, which hosts a farmer’s market for its clients once a
week in the summer. With the
addition of an 8’x20’ greenhouse,
as well as 15 more Earthboxes
and three 15’x4’ raised beds, TriCounty has also been able to donate to Medway Food Pantry.
“With both the expansions on
our garden and the addition of the
greenhouse, we have been able to
grow a lot more produce to give
to the community,” Culinary Arts
Instructor and Garden Coordinator Nancy Haney said. “Students
love getting involved and working in the garden and really enjoy
being able to give the produce to
people in need.”
Vegetables planted this past
spring included several varieties
of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, green onions, green beans,
cauliflower, peppers and autumn
vegetables such as pumpkins and
butternut squash. In the first year,
Tri-County donated 480 pounds
of produce. That amount grew
to 600 pounds in its second year,
totaling over 1,000 pounds in just

Pictured above are Tri-County RVTHS senior Christian Murphy of Wrentham and sophomore Miranda Way
of Medway with some of the produce harvested and donated to Franklin and Medway Food Pantries. The
school has donated almost 800 pounds of produce so far this year thanks to the recent expansion of the
garden and addition of the greenhouse.
two years. With the expansion of
the garden, Haney expects to have
an even larger yield by the end of
the fall season. The school has already harvested about 800 pounds
with more to come.
The garden is used as both a
teaching tool and for charity. The
Culinary Arts Program uses it to
teach students how to grow vegetables and how to use fresh vegetables in their cooking. They are
also taught how to use “seconds,”
which are the bruised or split vegetables that many throw away.
Instead, the students learn how to
salvage “seconds” and cut away
the bruises. This year, Haney
plans to teach her students how
to remove the seeds from plants,
dry them out and then use them to
plant the new garden in the spring.
Students taking Environmental
Science arrange the garden and
put down the fertilizer after all the
vegetables have been planted. The
Early Childhood Careers Program
uses the garden to introduce its
preschoolers to gardening. Haney
also taught culinary classes during
a summer camp held at the high
school for 7th and 8th graders
and used the garden to teach the
students about growing, tending,
harvesting and cooking the vegetables grown.

Third Annual “Taste of Medway”
October 4 at Thayer Homestead
By J.D. O’Gara
Hungry?
The Third Annual “Taste of
Medway will take place on the
Thayer Homestead lawn overlooking Choate Pond on Saturday
October 4, 3-6 p.m. As in past
years, the event will feature delicious cuisine and beverages from
local restaurants, food, beer, and
wine merchants.
“This is our Third Annual Taste
of Medway, and we are especially
excited about this year’s event as
it is held at the historic Thayer
Homestead in Medway that was
recently renovated and is now
fully operational and available
for events,” says volunteer Lynn
Lewis.
The event, featuring local tastes
from food, beer and wine purveyors, will take place rain or shine,
and complementary glasses will
be given, while supplies last, for
every paid adult admission. Tickets, that will be sold at the door
only, are $20 for adults, $15 for
seniors, and $10 for children
under 12.
“Originally, this came up as a
way to inform the community
about the plans to renovate the
Thayer Homestead,” says event
organizer Wendy Harrington.
“That was three years ago, and it
was cool, because people could
go and see the plans and pictures
of the architect drawings. People
could become more educated. The
event was such a great success, we
decided to do it for Medway300.”
Despite rain the second year,
says Harrington, the event again
did well.
“It’s a really nice community
event, a way to bring people to
that property and see how beautiful it really is. They’ve done such
a beautiful job with the building
itself and the landscaping,” says
Harrington, who says that, in addition to soliciting local restaurants
to present their dishes, her group
has reached out to local caterers,
whom potential renters of the
Thayer Homestead may want to
call upon for functions.
This year’s event, says Harrington, will be more spread out,
with alcohol served inside and
food out in tents on the lawn, de-
October 1, 2014
pending on the weather. Although
not everyone had confirmed at the
time of this article, some definites
include J & L Catering, Mickey
Cassidy’s, Restaurant 45, T.C.
Scoops, Linda Sansone, Restaurant 3, Gaetanos, and The Muffin
House.
In addition, Dave Currier, a local
entertainer has volunteered to perform and entertain the crowd with
his music at the venue.
For local food vendors, Harrington says, this event is a nice
way to promote their business,
and maybe highlight an aspect of
their business not well known to
the public.
“This year, the Muffin house will
do pies, something they can do
ahead of time,” says Harrington.
“That also showcases that they
have another part of their business,
besides just muffins and coffee.”
Money raised will fund continued upkeep of the Thayer Property. Overflow parking for this
event will be at Cassidy Field.

Will Your Money Last? Risks to Retirement Income
Courtesy of Ryland Hanstad
A sound retirement income plan
takes into account several financial risks, including the potential
for the retiree to outlive his or her
assets, the effects of inflation on
future income, rising health care
costs, and the uncertain future of
the Social Security system. For
example, inflation increases the
future cost of goods and services;
inflation can also erode the value
of assets set aside to meet future
costs if the assets earn less than
the rate of inflation. In addition to
these considerations, a plan should
take care to avoid excessive withdrawals in the early years of retirement that could lead to premature
depletion of assets. The overall
objective of planning should be to
create a sustainable stream of income that also has the potential to
increase over time.
Will Your Money Last?
Risks to Retirement
Income
With so much at stake when
planning a retirement income
stream, it pays to take a step back
and see whether your plan takes
into account the major obstacles
to retirement income adequacy.
When you take this big-picture
view, consider the five major challenges most retirees face: the potential for outliving one’s assets;
the threat of rising living costs;
the impact of increasing health
care costs; uncertainty about the
future level of Social Security
benefits; and the damage to longterm financial security that can be
caused by excessive withdrawals
in the early years of retirement.
Understanding each of these challenges can lead to more confident
preparation.
Examining the Issues
Longevity. While most people
look forward to living a long life,
they also want to make sure their
longevity is supported by a comfortable financial cushion. As
the average life span has steadily
lengthened due to advances in
medicine and sanitation, the
chance of prematurely depleting
one’s retirement assets has become a matter of great concern.
Consider a few numbers: According to the latest government
data, average life expectancy in
the United States climbed to 77.9
years for a child born in 2007,
compared to 47.3 years in 1900.
But most people don’t live an average number of years. In reality,
there’s a 50% chance that at least
one spouse of a healthy couple
aged 65 will reach age 89.1
Perspectives on
Longevity: Probabilities
of Reaching Specific Ages
Inflation, or the tendency of
prices to increase, varies over
time as well as from region to
region and according to personal
lifestyle. Through many ups and
downs, U.S. consumer inflation
averaged about 4% over the 50
years ended December 31, 2012.
If inflation were to continue increasing at a 4% annual rate, a dollar would be worth 46 cents in just
20 years. Conversely, the price of
an automobile that costs $23,000
today would rise to more than
$50,000 within two decades. For
retirees who no longer fund their
living expenses out of wages, inflation affects retirement planning
in two ways: It increases the future
cost of goods and services, and it
potentially erodes the value of assets set aside to meet those costs
-- if those assets earn less than the
rate of inflation.
Health care. The cost of medical care has emerged as a more
important element of retirement
planning in recent years. That’s
primarily due to three reasons:
health care expenses have increased at a faster pace than the
overall inflation rate; many employers have reduced or eliminated medical coverage for retired
employees; and life expectancy
has lengthened. In addition, the
nation’s aging population has
placed a heavier burden on Medicare, the federal medical insurance
program for those aged 65 and
older, in turn forcing Medicare recipients to contribute more toward
their benefits and to purchase supplemental insurance policies. The
Employee Benefit Research Institute has estimated that if recent
trends continue, a typical retiree
who is age 65 now and lives to
age 90 will need to allocate about
$180,000 of his or her nest egg
just for medical costs, including
premiums for Medicare and “Medigap” insurance to supplement
Medicare. Because of the higher
cost trends affecting private health
insurance, the same retiree relying
on insurance coverage from a former employer may need to allot
nearly $300,000 to pay health insurance and Medicare premiums,
as well as out-of pocket medical
bills.
Social Security. The demographic forces that have led to
an increasingly older population
are expected to continue, putting
more pressure on the financial resources of the Social Security system -- the government safety net
that currently provides more than
half of the income for six out of
10 Americans aged 65+. In fact,
the number of workers supporting
each Social Security beneficiary
through payroll taxes is projected
to decline from 3.3 to 2.1 by 2031.
At that ratio, there would not be
enough workers to pay scheduled
benefits at current payroll tax rates.
If no action is taken to fix Social
Security’s financial problems, the
system’s trust funds may be ex-

hausted by 2033.2 These trends
have raised uncertainty about how
Social Security can be financed in
future years and whether benefit
levels and eligibility requirements
may have to be changed as the
population continues to age.
Excess withdrawals. The decision about how much money may
be safely withdrawn each year
from a retirement nest egg needs
to take into consideration all the
risks mentioned above. But retirees also must consider the fluctuating returns that their personal
savings and investments are likely
to produce over time, as well as
the overall health of the financial
markets and the economy during
their withdrawal period.
Addressing the Risks
While the risks discussed above
are common to most people, their
impact on retirement income varies from person to person. Before
you can develop a realistic plan
aimed at providing a sustainable
stream of income for your retirement, you will have to relate each
risk to your situation. For example, if you are in good health and
intend to retire in your mid-60s,
you may want to plan for a retirement lasting 30 years or longer.
And when you estimate the effects
of inflation, you may decide that
after you retire you should continue to invest a portion of your
assets in investments with the potential to outpace inflation.
Developing a realistic plan to address the financial risks you face
in retirement may seem beyond
you. But you don’t have to go it
alone. An experienced financial
professional can provide useful
information, as well as valuable
perspective on the options for
successfully managing what may
stand in the way of your long-term
financial security.

By J.D .O’gara
Since 1998, the Holliston Auxiliary Police Department has kept
2,953 riders, traveling a total of
780 miles in Metrowest safe. On
October 11, without fuss and for
the 16th year, the Holliston Auxiliary Police Department will once
again donate their time and effort
for the CF Cycle for Life, formerly the Cycle for Haylee, which
will begin and end at the Fatima
Shrine, 101 Summer Street, Holliston. The ride, which drew about
330 participants last year, benefits
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,
created to fight the life-threatening genetic disease that affects the
lungs and digestive systems of approximately 30,000 people in the
United States.
“They come out every year in
force, and they have never charged
for our event,” says Holliston resident and volunteer Patty Osten, a
physical therapist who has coordinated volunteers for the CF Cycle
for Life for four years, moved by
her cystic fibrosis patients to do
so. “We’ve rode bicycles in pouring rain and at every possible dangerous intersection, and from 7-4,
the auxiliary police do their job,
then they leave, never looking for
thanks. It’s just phenomenal support,” Osten says. The cost savings of not having to pay for that
police detail has been huge to their
bottom line.
In March, at the Cystic Fibrosis
Annual Dinner, both the Holliston
Auxiliary Police Department and
Patty Osten were honored for their
involvement in the CF Cycle for
Life.
CF—A Personal Cause for Local Sisters
By J.D .O’gara
“This disease is not for the weak. It is a never ending battle, and none of us will give into it.”
That’s what Holliston resident Kristen Hedrick
says about Cystic Fibrosis, something she and her
sister, Kate Hedrick Johnson, have lived with their
whole lives.
Kristen and Kate’s father, Steve, began riding in
the CF Cycle for Life since the event started fifteen
years ago. Their team, called the 12:15 Express,
consists of a core group of Steve, Kate and Kristen’s uncle Robert Hedrick, Jim Osten, Kate Hedrick Johnson and Kristen’s fiancé Noel Texeira.
“We have team members come and go every
year. Some years we have 20 riders, others we have
5, people ride when they can,” says Kristen. She
explains that the money donated to CF research has
contributed to many drug breakthroughs, one called
Cayston, an inhaled antibiotic, that she and Kate
have been able to use in the past five years to improve respiratory symptoms. She says there’s also
hope in a new drug by Vertex, called Kalydeco,
that helps the CFTR protein function more normally once it reaches cell surface. Because of a
mutation in the CFTR gene, people with Cystic
Fibrosis have defective or missing CFTR proteins,
which the body needs to control the flow of salt and
water into and out of the cell. A CTFR protein that
is defective causes abnormally thick, sticky mucus
to build up in the lungs and affects the digestive
tract and other organs as well.
“It affects our everyday life,” says Kristen. “We
have to incorporate exercise or physical therapy everyday into our routine to keep our lungs clear, and
we also have multiple inhaled medications that can
take hours a day, along with pills to help us absorb
our food better, since our pancreas don’t function
well, and vitamins, antibiotics and reflux meds.”
The two sisters also spend time at the hospital
during the year, sometimes weeks at a time, to get
IV antibiotics if they get too sick, and the disease
gets worse and infections harder to fight off as a
patient gets older.
The event is still seeking both
riders and volunteers. Riders can
choose from the 12-mile beginner route, to the 30-mile route, to
the 65+ mile challenge. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the ride
beginning promptly at 9 a.m. The
cost to register, as of October 1, is
$45, with an additional minimum
pledge requirement of $200 due
by October 11 in order to qualify
for a long-sleeved t-shirt. Other
prizes are available.
For information, and to register, visit http://fightcf.cff.org/site/
TR/Cycle/74_Massachusetts_
RI?fr_id=2555&pg=entry or to
volunteer, contact Patty Osten at
[email protected].

www.cff.org.
“Kate and I are fortunate that we are able to work
and live with our CF right now, but at some point
that may not be an option for us,” says Kristen. “It
definitely puts life into perspective. Whatever I am
doing I want to make sure I am enjoying life, having fun. It is too short to waste time on things that
we shouldn’t worry about. I know that it helped
shape who I am and has shaped my entire family
and how much we all appreciate each other.”

Washington Street Players Plan a Whodunnit
Dinner Theatre Middlesex Murder at
The Glen, Oct. 17,18, 24 & 25
By J.D. O’Gara
Although Don Oliver, original
playwright, donated the script he
wrote 20 years ago, he allowed
the Washington Street Players, a
Holliston community theatre organization, free reign to make it
their own, and make it their own
they did.
Middlesex Murder, a dinner
theatre murder mystery, will take
place on October 17, 18, 24, and
25 at the Glen, in Millis, and it’s
rife with delicious references to
WSJ’s hometown of Holliston.
“He gave it to us and said we
could edit it and do what we
wanted,” says Julie Murphy,
Holliston resident and director
of the production. “We added
characters with a lot of Holliston
references, beefed up the plot and
had a lot of fun with it.”
The plot circles around an annual dinner meeting of the Middlesex County Players, where talk
arises regarding the sale of the
theatre to a New York producer.
“During the evening, somebody
is murdered,” says Murphy, “and
the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of the
characters, to help them determine the murderer and motive.”
Members of the audience from
Holliston will appreciate some
tailored references in the script.
To begin with, the fictional Massachusetts town setting is called
“Hollyrock,” and characters include Sylvia Stricknine, Bobby
Bleary, Officer Cesh Fiske, and
Lt. Griffin Ward, among others.
Even the summer theatre group
featured in the plot is called The
Washington Street Curtain Timers.
“It’s really an ensemble piece,”
says Julie Murphy, who will direct
the play. “The actors are pretty
much on stage or in the room almost the entire time.” Larry Weiss
and Sue Ann Czotter are co-producers, and the stage director is
Nate Callahan.
Typical to dinner theatre, actors
will roam among the audience,
who will get to enjoy a fine buffet dinner of chicken marsala,
although a vegetarian option is
available by calling in advance.
Because of the dinner, tickets
must be purchased in advance, so
that The Glen can prepare enough
meals. A cash bar will be available.
Murphy says the Washington
Street Players was looking for a
dinner theatre script, because they
wanted to reach out to some people who might not be theatergoers,
but who might like the interactive
experience.
The Washington Street Players will perform Middlesex Murder, an interactive dinner theatre murder mystery,
“This would make a great date on October 17, 18, 24, and 25 at the Glen, in Millis. From left, back row, Karen Dinehart, Doug Hardy, Bill

New Charles River Children’s
Choir Begins
By J.D. O’Gara
The Charles River Chorale has
kicked off its 30th season by sponsoring a new children’s choir, the
Charles River Children’s Choir.
“Community outreach is part
of our mission statement, and we
were looking at different ways to
promote music in the community,”
says volunteer Megan Quilop, who
organized the effort. “The executive board wanted to give kids and
opportunity to come together and
sing with a large group. That’s the
goal, a community children’s choir
in the Metrowest area.”
Children will learn to hear music,
match pitch and blend voices to-

of music to explore our world.
Operating through the Millis
Recreation Department, the participation fee for the fall semester is
$220, and the core demographic of
the group is children from second
to fourth grades, says Lelia Viana,
who will direct the children in their
weekly rehearsals leading up to the
December concert, in which they
will perform with the Charles River
Chorale, as well as a small concert
at their seasons’ end.

The Medway Petal Pushers, a
new garden club in Medway,
is looking ahead to December
and would like to ask for
volunteers to be a part of
their fundraiser. The group is
looking for Medway residents
to graciously volunteer to
be on a “Interior/Exterior
Decorated Homes for the
Holidays Tour.” Some people
decorate beautifully on the
outside that it would be great
for others to see….and then
there are people who want to
show off the inside of their
home because their house
is full of such wonderful
traditions that would be great
to share with others.
The Medway Petal Pushers
officially started its new year
with a fun evening of getting
to know other like-minded
individuals that want to have
some fun while doing some
civic work around town. One
of the unique things that the
members did was to bring in
a plant from their garden and
it was exchanged with another
member based on a “Yankee
Swap.” This past summer, a
few of the “beautification”
projects were plantings for
the Library and the Police and
Fire stations.
If you would be interested
in being on the Decorated
Homes for the Holidays
Tour which will be held on
December 14, please contact
Maryjane White at the Town
Hall, (508) 533-3204.

A Reoccurring Question, “Do I
really need a Lawyer for my
Real Estate transactions?”
The answer is a definite
“YES!” (Regardless of whether
you are a Buyer or a Seller)
If you are only buying a
sweater, then no big deal, if you
later decide you don’t like it just
put it in your bureau and 5 years
later you can donate it to charity.
With Real Estate you are
probably making the single
largest transaction of your life so
you had better do things right.
The Real Question here should

Lawyer into the transaction?”,
and the answer is, right in the
beginning! In Massachusetts
