Charles River Chorale
Celebrates 30th Season
Organization Finds a Way to
Thank New England Veterans
Group Prepares to Say Farewell to
Beloved Director
By J.D. O’Gara
Franklin resident Albert Goodrow was a pharmacist mate in
the Navy during World War II.
He’s also a veteran of the Korean
War, and this year, accompanied
by his son, Fr. David Goodrow,
of Millis, he got the chance to fly
to Washington, D.C. to see “his”
memorials. Thanks to Honor
Flight New England, Goodrow
is one of the nearly 1,100 WWII
veterans, the oldest being 101
years old, who have been flown
free of charge to the nation’s
capitol.
By J.D. O’Gara
“It was a very emotional type of
thing,” says Albert Goodrow, 88,
of the flight he took with 85 other
World War II brethren.
Shown is veteran Albert Goodrow, of Franklin, with his son, Fr. David
Goodrow, of Millis. Goodrow is one of 1,093 New England veterans
who have been flown, free of charge thanks to Honor Flight New
England, to Washington, D. C. to see its war memorials
“Everybody was amazed,” says
Goodrow. “We thought we were
going down for a quick tour, and
that would be great, but to see all
these people, my heaven. It was
a real outpouring of goodwill.”
and lay people, all gathered to
wish the veterans well and to
thank them.
According to both father and
son, each airport was packed

When the Charles River Chorale
gathers to sing for the upcoming
holiday season on December 13, it
will be celebrating its 30th season.
The non-audition Chorale, comprised of members from Millis,
Franklin, Holliston and other surrounding towns, meets Tuesday
nights to rehearse at the Church
of Christ in Millis. For 30 years,
they have sung under the direction
of Roy Kelley, but this is Kelley’s
last season, leaving a flock that
will need tending after the spring
concert.
Kelley brings a wealth of music
training, having studied music at
the University of Vermont, the
New England Conservatory and
as a past president of the New
England chapter of the American
Orff-Schulwerk Association, a

“Our director works magic with
all of us, says another original
member Mary-Lou Northgraves.
“We are not an organization that
you have to audition for, so he lets
anyone that wants to sing sing.
Some read music, some don’t read
music, some have sung and some
have not.” Northgraves explains
that those who don’t read music
get CD’s of their parts to rehearse
at home.
“Roy is the best music teacher,
very willing to share any knowledge he has,” says Kathy Stevens,
who joined up years ago after
hearing them sing at Millis’ bicentennial. She points out that he is
not afraid to let chorale members
know when they could do better.

“It was very emotional, you
know,” says Waite. “very difficult to describe. Everywhere you
went there were cheering crowds,
and you were treated like a VIP.”
Waite quotes a fellow veteran who
was on his trip, “It was like being
wrapped in a great big blanket of
warmth and love and appreciation.
Everything we saw was beautiful,
just an amazing thing. You could
even shed a few tears.”

Fr. David Goodrow credits his
sister, Rosemary, with contacting
the organization.
“They really couldn’t prepare us
for what a touching, really honorable time this was going to be for
the veterans,” says Fr. Goodrow,
who accompanied his father as a
guardian. “We had a police escort
through Logan to get to the plane,
and at 6:30 a.m., hundreds of people were at the airport to welcome
them … it was just astounding.”
When the flight landed in Baltimore, say both Goodrows, the
honor continued with a water salute to the plane and even Sena-

Honor Flight New England,
begun by Joe Byron, a retired
Manchester, NH police detective, joined the National Honor
Flight network in spring of 2009,
after Byron saw a National Honor
Flight take place in Baltimore.
Byron was also particularly inspired by a WWII veteran and
former POW he’d met toward the
end of his career. So far, the organization has completed 35 flights
from New England to D.C. Its
focus right now is WWII veterans,
who are taken in order of their applications, with terminally ill veterans from ANY war moved to the
top of the pile. Byron describes the
process as “a race against time.”
Honor Flight New England is
able to complete this mission
thanks to 100% private corporate donations. “We have been
incredibly fortunate to get some
very large corporate donations.
Meta-VR – they’ve sponsored
three charter flights already, and
Ocean State Job Lot has done two
charter flights for us,” says Byron,
estimating the cost of each flight
to be about $60,000.
“It gives you hope for humanity, that there are people out there,
all kinds of volunteers,” says Fr.
Goodrow.
“It’s never a day of work,” says
Byron. “It’s 100% absolute honor
and privilege and pleasure to build
up to the day of their flight, to hear
their excitement, and on the day of
the flight, to see them finally get
the recognition that they truly deserve.”
Although Honor Flight New
England has completed its final
flight for the year, “If I can encourage people or groups to get
on our Facebook page, they can
come to our sendoff at the airports
when we leave or when we arrive
home,” says Byron. “It’s very
moving for them to be greeted by
so many people.”
Those who know of area veterans who would benefit from
an Honor Flight are encouraged
to call 1 (603) 518-5368. Those
wishing to donate could make
checks payable to:
Honor Flight New England
P.O. Box 16287
Hooksett, NH 03106
“I think, what most people don’t
realize, was that if (veterans)
didn’t immediately come home
when the war ended, they never
got the welcome home,” says
Byron. “This is our opportunity,
in a small way, to say thank you.”
Christmas Marches into Medway November
29 with Annual Parade
By J.D. O’Gara
It wouldn’t be the week of
Thanksgiving without the Medway Christmas Parade following
on the Saturday afterward. This
year’s Medway Christmas Parade,
in its 22nd year, will take place on
November 29, starting, as usual,
at 5:30 p.m. at Medway Middle
School, proceeding up Holliston
to Main Street, and then finally, to
Choate Park.
The Jolly Old Elf himself will, of
course, participate in the parade,
as will a number of antique vehicles, construction and fire trucks,

“I will say it was a very, very
long and tiresome day, but it
was certainly well worth it,” says
Waite, who stresses that everything for the 130 veterans on his
chartered flight, paid for by Ocean
State Job Lot, was free, with no
expense to the veterans at all.
and floats by the Rojee family.
“We’re expecting 25-30 fire apparatus from surrounding towns,”
says longtime parade organizer
Richard Parrella, who notes that
there will be awards given for various decorated fire trucks.
The parade ends at Choate Park,
and, “this year, the festivities are
going to be at the Thayer House,”
says Parrella.
“What’s also been phenomenal
is the support of the Thayer committee, says Parrella, who thinks
the move inside to the historic
home will be exciting.
Santa will set up inside the
Thayer Homestead for photos,
which are free, although donations
are most welcome and go toward
next year’s parade.
“We will have a 20-foot Christmas tree,” says Parrella, referring
to what will be on the inside of the
building. Outside, he says, the tree
lighting is still going to be part of
the festivities at Choate Park, as
is the presentation of Grand Marshalls. Fireworks, by American
Thunder out of North Reading,
will light up Choate Pond, at about
7 p.m., or, as Parrella puts it, “immediately after the festivities.”

“He’s a lifelong resident of Medway,” says Parrella, who describes
the Hanlon family as a very big,
very involved family in Medway.
“Jerry was a firefighter and fire
chief. We’re trying to recognize
those people who’ve been a big
part of our community. As time
moves on, a lot of people and
things are forgotten, but people
should be recognized for their past
contributions,” says Parrella, who
hopes to impart how much many
of the older generation have done
to make Medway “the community

in WWII, had an equally amazing
experience. He contacted Honor
Flight New England after hearing about it at a reunion and was
surprised to go sooner than he’d
tor Bob Dole and his wife at the
WWII Memorial to greet the veterans. The group visited all the
war memorials, saw the changing
of the guard at Arlington National
Cemetery, and had a sit-down dinner before their flight home. Veterans also got a mail call, says Fr.
Goodrow. “They’d hand them an
envelope full of letters from different people thanking them. We
were all bawling our eyes out, really. It was just so touching.”

Parrella says the Medway Christmas Parade has benefited greatly
from both the Medway300 Committee and the Thayer Committee.
Parrella also says that the Medway
Townwide yard sale supported the
Medway Christmas Parade. Over
90-yard sales registered, and the
event raised over $1,000 toward
the parade. The event also had
sizable contributions from both
Middlesex Savings Bank and the
Medway Moving Wall Committee. Any extra proceeds from this
event will go toward the Kiltie
Band for Memorial Day.
If you would like to make a donation, please send your contribution to:

Funds can also be donated online at www.townofmedway.org.
Select “pay bills online,” then

An estimated 6,000 people attend the Medway Christmas Parade, and according to Parrella,
some even come from out of state.
Anyone who has a float, antique
vehicle, decorated construction
vehicle or the like can contact the
Medway Christmas Parade Committee at (508) 533-2741 or send
information to the address above.
“I’m proud of Medway for what

well as the singing.”
Helen Daly, of Millis, agrees.
She started singing with Roy in
1975 when he was Choir Director/
Church organist at the Church of
Christ. “He got together a group to
sing at bicentennial, and we went
to Washington and the Springfield
exposition,” she says. “I can’t say
enough about his directing skills,”
says Daly, “and I have never been,
and probably wouldn’t have been,
exposed to that breadth of music.”
Chorale members all agree about
Roy’s passion for perfection, with
more than one describing what
they call “fits of pique,” in which
Roy would insist the group work
harder.

“He’s mellowed a lot through the
years,” says Daly, who can’t remember the last time Roy missed a
rehearsal, despite not living close,
“but he’s still a perfectionist, and a
showman. He’s very aware that a
lot of people who sing in the chorale are not trained musicians, but
he pushes you to a level beyond
what you think you could get to.
I never thought I would be able to
sing some of the pieces he brought
to us, and for that I am very grateful. His dedication to the group has
been phenomenal. How we are
The Charles River Chorale, a non-audition chorale that draws from a
number of different towns around Millis, rehearses under the direction
of Roy Kelley. The chorale, in its 30th season, will say goodbye to Kelley,
who has directed the group for all of those years, in May. Their holiday
concert will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 7:30 p.m. at Millis
High School.
going to replace Roy Kelley I do
not know. Personally, I will miss
him a great deal.”
Meaghan Quilop joined the
group just three years ago after her
husband, Greg, thought the Chorale would be healing for her.
“Sometimes,” says the mother
of two and cancer survivor, “I’m
tired, and I don’t want to go out,
but once I get here, it feels good.”
Quilop says she enjoys the music,
the people, and “being able to sing
and get better at something. There
is no intimidation here.”
Kelley, she says, makes it work.
Roy Kelley addresses how he
meets the needs of both ends of
the musical spectrum.
“Part of the process is that you
pick music that challenges, and
by challenging, you satisfy the
people that read and want to keep
learning, and you bring others out
of their comfort zone,” says Kelley. “Sitting next to people who
are stronger than they are, it just
brings everybody up. By the end
of the season, they come out of
the concert saying, ‘Gee, I didn’t
know I could do that.’”
Greg Lee has been with the chorale since 1997. Now a member
with his wife, Fran, Lee chairs
the committee looking to find a
new director for the Charles River
Chorale.
“It’s a non-audition chorus, so
that means that people are not necessarily musically trained, so there
has to be some teaching of the
music. We’re looking for somebody who has an ability to choose
music we like, not necessarily the
same we have sung each year, but
we’re not looking to change our
basic style, such as looking to become only heavily classical,” says
Lee, who hopes to have found
the right person by summertime.
“We’re looking for somebody
who will guide us.”
Kelley says the dedication of the
chorus has kept him going for 30
years. “It’s a pleasure to work with
them,” he says. “I try to keep the
more musically trained happy, and
the ones that have to work harder,
work harder,” says Kelley, … and
accomplish a goal of their own.”
The Charles River Chorale’s
“30th Annual Holiday Concert,”
will take place on Saturday, December 13, at Millis High School
auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are $15 adults, $10 seniors/students and $8 for children, with
family discounts available. In addition to great music (including a
sing-along), the night will feature
a silent auction and holiday raffle.

Letter to the Editor Millis Town Fields Project Article
18 on Nov. 3 Warrant
Millis voters are going to be asked to increase their tax burden
yet again. At a time while we are currently, on top of our regular
budget, paying for the $10M fire/police station, an $850,000 fire
truck and our share of the $8M library. This time for an override
of $5,500,000 to build artificial turf fields for soccer and football.
These artificial fields have become popular around the country and
as a result, much has been learned about them. These fields are
toxic. They leach into ground water: oil, sulfur, zinc, lead, arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, phthalates, polycyclic and hydrocarbons, etc.
They are not athletic-friendly and in fact, because of the way players feet grip into the turf, which doesn’t give as does natural grass,
they cause more knee and ankle injuries. Although they are forced
to play on these fields, many professional athletes prefer natural
turf. Another discovery learned from other user’s experience, is
that a high number of soccer players and particularly goalies, have
been found to have developed different types of blood cancers.
This was revealed in an NBC nightly news investigative report
where of 52 soccer players who developed one of these cancers,
46 were goalies. This is felt to be due to the constant body contact
the goalie has with the turf. There is currently a law suit brought
against the next year’s Women’s World Cup soccer matches to
force the use of natural turf for the matches. Most recently, the
New York City Parks department and the Los Angeles School systems have stopped building artificial turf fields. Manufacturers of
these products will only warrantee the fields for eight years. When
replaced, this turf is a toxic product and has to be disposed as such.
At that time another override will be sought to remove and replace
these fields. If passed, this tax will be assessed on the few small
businesses in the town and the 3,218 households with aging residents on a fixed income and an increasingly smaller population of
children. Given all of this, one can only ask why pass this ???!!!
Robert Yeager, Millis
$5.5 Debt Override Needed
By J.D. O’Gara
$5. 5 million is the amount Millis
Town Selectmen arrived at on October 6, 2014, when deciding on
the total amount of debt exclusion
override needed should Article 18
of the November 3, 2014 Annual
Town Meeting Warrant pass. The
article relates to the Town Fields
project, and the proposal submitted
by CDM Smith, for the project.
Following the reading of a
letter from the Oak Grove Farm
Commission, the Selectmen
removed consideration of the Oak
Grove parcel of the project. Items
deemed unecessary were removed.
Selectmen agreed also to remove
the 25% contingency portion of
the plan submitted by CDM Smith
in order to arrive at the lowest
possible figure.
With a $5.5 million debt exclusion override, the average Millis
household would pay $148 per
year initially, a sum that would reduce to $122 per household annually at the end of 20 years.
On October 15, the Millis
Finance committee voted to
recommend dismissal of Article
18 after a Fields Committee
Presentation. Despite this, the
Selectmen, on October 20, voted
to recommend the article as is, and
the School Committee also voted
to recommend it on October 21.
Voters must decide on Novembr 3.
The proposal and related diagrams are available at the Millis
town website, at www.millis.org.

Oops! Correction
to Medway Fields
Article
In the October edition of the Medway & Millis Local Town
Pages, in one of the lead stories on Medway’s revamped football
field, we erroneously reported that Holliston High School will use
the fields. This is an error, and the paragraph was meant to read
the Medway High School would use those fields. Following is the
correct version:
“With the two new fields, says Pearl, Medway 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.”

Bedroom Interior Design – Basic Principles
The bedroom is our place of relaxation, sleep and rejuvenation.
It is the place we always return to
at the end of the day to eliminate
stress. It is the most personal and
private space in the home. So,
when thinking about the design of
this special room, much thought
and reflection should go into it.
As one would expect, the space
should look and feel peaceful and
uncluttered. It should provide an
instant feeling of relaxation.
The first things we see when
entering the bedroom are the
bed, walls and flooring. Therefore, these all need to be done in
predominantly soothing colors
and tones. Neutrals, earth tones,
warm colors and pastels are the
best choices for the largest areas of
the bedroom. If your personality
craves bright colors, by all means
add some in. However, it is best
to merely “punch” the space with
the brighter colors rather than use
them as the entire background or
field of color, as a lot of bright
color variation will create restlessness. Remember, the space
is designed to stimulate relaxation! Choose the active areas of
the house for bright colors. Also,
the color scheme must be complementary so the colors naturally
blend.
you select the right size bed in
proportion to the space. A huge
California King may dwarf a
small bedroom, whereas a queen
may retain the scale and balance.
A double may be too small which
would also appear juvenile in a
large space. So, the choice of bed
size is very important! Make sure
the covering is tasteful, stylish and
sophisticated.
The bed is the focal point of all
bedrooms. It is therefore the most
important element both visually
and functionally. First, make sure
Regardless of the flooring material, bedrooms need at least an
area rug if not wall-to-wall carpet.
This provides that feeling of coziness, warmth and security as well
as a soft place to step with bare
feet! The (adult) bedroom must
also have an air of sophistication.
This means the finishes should
be at least somewhat elegant and
neatly appointed which will further the restful feeling as well
as pay off the fact that this is the
bedroom of an adult (too often it’s
Your hair.
Your way.
hard to tell). Again, the color and
pattern should be somewhat understated and blend with the rest
of the room. Soft, neutral textures
are great for adding depth and sophistication while maintaining a
clean look.
Finally, the walls should also be
generally neutral. This means a
soft paint color or wallpaper with
texture or a subtle pattern that
adds a bit of personality. Nicely
framed artwork that is neatly positioned will provide balance and
style. This is not a space where
bold, geometric and optic wallpaper patterns are appropriate.
However, color in the artwork will
brighten the room without disturbing the overall restful atmosphere.

Keystone Barbershop Changes Ownership
George Mangano Retires after 45 Years
as a Medway Barber
By J.D. O’Gara
the following letter to his patrons:
After 45 years as a barber in
Medway, with 30 of them at 89
Main Street, George Mangano
has retired his scissors and handed
off Keystone Barber shop to a new
owner and fellow master barber,
Kim Thibeault. Mangano penned
I wish to announce my Retirement, after 45 years of barber
service in the Great Town of
Medway. I want to thank all my
customers from the old days to
the present for their loyalty and
friendship.
Kim Thibeault is the new owner
and operator.
I’m sure you will like her.
cosmetology, Thibeault, a native
of Mendon, found she preferred
shorter, more intricate cuts. She
hopes to bring back the tradition
of hot-towel shaves. Her shop will
be open Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. – 6
p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. –
2 p.m.
I hope to see you around town in
the days ahead.
Thank you,
WHAT’S NEW
George Mangano
Mangano, who lives in Uxbridge, started off his career as
a medical technician at Malden
Hospital, (where he met his wife)
following his years in the service.
His brother, John, who, sadly,
passed away last summer, encouraged him to join him in the barbering business, and so George
did. While his brother built a business in Holliston, George built
his in Medway, using the “533”
or “KEE” exchange in the name
for the business. Now that he’s
retired, George, a self-professed
“great cook,” plans on making
some delicious Italian food.
Thibeault, likewise, was drawn
to barbering through a sibling as
well – her sister. She moved back
to Medway to be closer to her
family. Although she started in

Millis-based Treats 4 Troops Brings a Smile to U.S.
Soldiers Overseas
By J.D. O’Gara
A little over a year ago, Dawna
Shackley made some cookies for
her cousin, Master Sgt. Paul Johansen, who was then stationed in
Afghanistan.
“My daughter (Danielle Burgess) and I were like, let’s bake
him some cookies, and we did.
And he’d send a picture back of
how the table looked after the box
of cookies,” says Shackley, noting
that there were just crumbs left.
Soon after, Dawna’s cousin
wrote asking her to send cookies
to someone else in the unit, who
never got anything in the mail.
“So we sent him a box and my
cousin a box,” says Shackley.
Then, the effort became bigger
and bigger, she says.
Nowadays, Shackley is personally mailing out about 5-10 boxes
a month.
November 4, 2009
In addition, Danielle brought
the idea to her Living Learning
Community at Roger Williams
University. Shackley explains that
the young women living on the
floor with Danielle are required
to do some community service.
“Cousin’s Cookies,” as Shackley
November 11, 2009
had called her effort, soon became
John
Peters III
“Treats
for Troops.”
“What we do is make up Ziploc bags of ingredients, then they
add milk and eggs, and she has all
the stuff she needs to do it down
there,” says Shackley, “so it’s
nice. Her whole floor is getting
into it. One of the girls on her floor
designed the logo, and another has
the ovens in her unit.”
“Maybe there are people in this
town who have somebody over
there,” she says. She adds that
she lists all the ingredients on the
packages. She’d also love help
with the baking.
The students bake the cookies
and bring them to a base in Rhode
Island, which saves on some shipping costs.
From Millis, however, Shackley, who spends about 4-5 hours
a week on the project, is paying
about $12.50 per box shipped out.
Medway Country Manor“It makes me feel good, because
115 Mollison Street I love to bake, and I saw how
Medway, MA 02053 happy it made my cousin and the
people in his troop/unit. I get specific names, and I send it directly
to them.”
Shackley says she has put a notice out on Facebook for anyone
who wants to donate “supplies,
Metro West Medical Center
flour, sugar or whatnot.” Some
115 Lincoln St
have given her monetary donaFramingham, MA 01702
tions, which helps, she says.
Treats for Troops is an effort by Millis resident, Donna Shackley, and
her daughter, Danielle, to bring smiles to U.S. soldiers stationed
overseas.
Right now, in addition to donations of supplies, Shackley is
looking for names of any soldiers
stationed overseas who might appreciate the gesture.
If you are interested in getting
involved with Treats for Troops,
contact Dawna at [email protected].

Medway Youth
Send Rockets to the Rescue
Part of 4-H National Youth Science Day
On Thursday October 9, youth
in Norfolk County 4-H designed
and built an aerodynamic craft designed to deliver a payload of food
to natural disaster victims as part
of 4-H National Youth Science
Day (4-H NYSD), the world’s
largest, youth-led science experiment. The activity, called Rockets
to the Rescue, was designed by
University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and selected as the
winning experiment for the seventh annual 4-H NYSD. Youth
all over the nation, and some
globally, also conducted the same
experiment at hundreds of local
events taking place in all 50 states.
Norfolk County 4-H members
and other interested youths ages
5-18 conducted the Rockets to the
Rescue experiment at Medway
Public Library. They responded
to a fictional scenario: a natural
disaster has left people without
food on a remote, isolated Pacific
island, and the youth have been
asked to build a rocket that can
be launched from the mainland,
travel over the ocean and deliver
high-energy food to the population. The experiment combined
two 4-H issue areas—science and
food security—and incorporated
aerospace engineering concepts
to help youth design a rocket out
of everyday materials, including
recyclable two-liter bottles, cotton
balls, pipe cleaners, rubber bands
and a protractor.
The national rallying event for
4-H Science, 4-H NYSD is an
interactive learning experience
that gets youth excited about science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM), and
spotlights the many ways millions of youth are engaging in 4-H
Science programs year-round.
The national sponsors of 2014
4-H NYSD are Lockheed Martin, Hughes (HughesNet Satellite
Internet) and John Deere. Other
partners include Dow AgroSciences, NBC Learn, Afterschool
Alliance, and NASA, who have
all collaborated on this event.
Since 2008, more than five mil-
BUFF your STUFF
lion youth have completed 4-H
NYSD experiments and 4-H science projects in robotics, agricultural science, rocketry, wind
power, environmental science and
alternative energy. To learn more
about 4-H NYSD, visit www.4-h.
org/nysd.
“Our nation is falling behind
other countries in the fields of science, technology, engineering and
math,” says Medway 4-H Science
Explorers club leader Margaret
Perkins. “However, participation
in high-quality positive youth
development programs like 4-H
NYSD offers youth and adults the
opportunity to engage in scientific
exploration and work together to
build the next generation of our
nation’s scientists, engineers and
mathematicians.”
The 4-H Science Explorers Club
meets at Medway Library on the
first Thursday of every month.
Club meetings are open to 4-H
members.
A recent longitudinal study
conducted by Tufts University
revealed 4-H programming does
indeed get young people more
connected to science. According to the study, 4-H’ers are two
times more likely to participate in
science programs during out-ofschool time (grades 10-12) and
4-H girls are two times more likely
(grade 10) and nearly three times
more likely (grade 12) to take part
in science programs, compared to
girls in other out-of-school time
activities.

Acne Scars and Dark Spots
By Lisa Massimiano, Licensed
Esthetician, Certified Acne
Specialist
Owner Skin Smart Salon
Acne is a devastating disorder.
Not only can you have active acne
in the form of bumps, redness and
pustules, these lesions can leave
their mark with scars and dark
spots.
Why do some people
scar?
Although acne sufferers often
refer to dark spots as scars, there
is a difference. Actual scarring
is when the skin is pitted or depressed. This type of scarring is
very difficult to remove, even
with medical treatments. Whether
a person scars from acne is not
necessarily dependent on how
severe their acne is. It is genetically linked to the inflammatory
response in their skin. That’s why
some people scar easily and others maintain a smooth complexion
even with severe acne. The best
treatment for scarring is to get on
an effective treatment plan to get
your acne under control and prevent future scaring from happening.
Get rid of dark spots.
Dark spots are often left behind
on the skin from acne breakouts.
They can occur on all skin types,
but are most common in darker
skin tones. These dark spots are
called hyper-pigmentation or post
inflammatory hyper-pigmentation
Achieve Clear Skin
(PIH). Luckily PIH is not a scar
and can be lightened with corrective peel treatments and consistent
home care.
With my acne clients I use corrective peel solutions in various
strengths to help get rid of the acne
and to lighten PIH. Products that
help lighten pigmentation contain
ingredients like mandellic, vitamin a, hydroquinone, lactic and
kojic acid. The acne usually clears
first. It can take several months for
the redness and dark spots to fade.

Quick Weight Loss Results That Will Last A Lifetime

of joining New England Fat Loss

programs were unsuccessful. He
had tried Jennie Craig, Weight
Watchers and the South Beach
Diet, all with disappointing results. But Baldassari was open to
a solution. Weighing 250 pounds
and entering pre-diabetic stage, he
needed a change that would help
his overall health. The answer
came with NEFL. Less than five
months since he began the program, Baldassari has lost over 54
pounds and through the guidance
of Dr. Dirk Johns, Clinical Director of NEFL, has developed a
healthy diet and lifestyle.
“I feel absolutely fantastic!” Baldassari exclaimed. “It’s a shame I
got myself that bad, but it’s a wonderful thing I found them.”

Results came quickly for both 64
year-old Baldassari and 56 yearold Parisi. They first visited New
England Weight Loss on June 9
and started the program June 10.
In just 40 days, Baldassari shed
40 pounds and his wife lost 20
pounds.
Although they have completed
the formal plan, the Ashland
residents continued to implement
their good eating habits throughout the summer. With New England Weight Loss, participants
are educated not just on healthy
food choices, but also following
guidelines designed specifically
for their body type and makeup,
how to read food labels and how
to prepare delicious meals without
adding calories.
“The beauty of this program is
that you can continue your lifestyle to a point,” Baldassari said.
“They teach you simple common
sense things and encourage you
every day.”
As Baldassari explained, New
England Fat Loss is not your typical weight loss program. People
looking to lose weight want immediate results to stay motivated
to continue the program. NEFL
does just that. It also does something unlike other plans; a guarantee of shedding 20-45 pounds in
just 40 days! Their unique process
starts with a full body scan, a body
medical analysis and an information session explaining how and
why their weight loss system is
unique.
Baldassari was influenced to
join with his spouse, but future
participants should consider this
article their personal encouragement. Come with a partner or
come alone. New England Fat
Loss works for anyone looking to
lose 15 pounds or 300 pounds. A
personal support system and dayto-day encouragement is waiting
within the qualified staff at NEFL.

Flashes and floaters are usually just annoying, not harmful. However, they can be
signs of serious problems (like
a tear on the retina) and, for this
reason, must not be ignored.
For most people, treatment is not
necessary. Floaters and flashes

Millis Girls Softball Forms Its Own League
Group Splits from Millis Youth Baseball
Softball
By J.D. O’Gara
On Thursday, October 9, Millis Girls Softball officially voted
to secede from the Millis Youth
Baseball Softball Association
to form the Millis Girls Softball
League.
“We wanted to create a separate
entity, with a separate culture, because it really is a separate sport
from baseball,” says volunteer
Dave Schofield, member of the
group’s organizing committee.
The idea, he says, has been “batted around for a long time, for a
number of years.”
“We wouldn’t be here, if it
weren’t for baseball,” says Erin
LeBlanc, also an organizing
committee member, along with
Bridget Murray, Christy and
James Lagos, Rob Murray, Dan
Donovan and Ken Whelan. LeBlanc notes that it was Millis Youth
Baseball that kept the softball program alive for years, but now that
“more have become involved in
the stewardship of the program,”
which, she says is “saturated with
really motivated, proactive, energetic people. We’re finally able
to address the apples and oranges
issues, because we’re fully staffed
to do so. They’re very different
sports on their own.”
“They are two distinctly different programs, and we as a group
feel as though our goals – building
confidence in kids – will be more
efficiently achieved as a separate
entity,” says LeBlanc.
Softball registrants make up just
23% of those registered in Millis
Youth Baseball Softball, and each
sport requires different fees.
“It’s different league; we play
different towns, with different
umpires and different rules,” says
Schofield. “It’s a completely different animal, and separating it allows us to really focus our energy
and be able to create a distinct culture, separate from the league, that
allows all people on the executive
board to sit around it and focus
with that one vision for softball.”
That vision will go beyond just
aiming for the win.
The hope, says fellow Millis
softball organizer Bridget Murray, is that softball players, who
numbered 65 last spring and 15 in
the summer league, will be given
“the fundamentals of softball in a
way that they want to come back
and play every year. Our whole
basis is to get kids involved, so
they want to go play at the high
school level or college level. A lot
of programs want to focus on kids
who are star athletes, but find others get left behind. We take everybody and give them the attention
each player deserves, to find the
best in themselves.”
“We’re charging the grownups
to find the best in each individual
player, no matter what “best”
looks like,” says LeBlanc. “Our
girls are going to grow confidence
in themselves that translates outside the softball diamond. If they
can have a loving, competitive,
albeit this is sports, let’s be competitive, but let’s learn from trying. They want to try, and they
want to be the best, but they have
to like it, first.”

The organization is in the process of forming bylaws and a
constitutional committee, says
LeBlanc, with representatives
from the league who will vote in
members.
“We believe most of our success
will come from a transparent program that involves parents,” says
LeBlanc, who says she believes
parents want to be involved, but
aren’t sure how to go about it.
“It you open that door to parents,
they’re going to enjoy it and feel
fulfilled and be part of their kids’
athletic experience.”
Murray, mother of sons in the
baseball program, believes the secession took some Millis Baseball
heads by surprise, but she insists
that the split had nothing to do
with association failing to support
softball. Like a parent would, she
says, “If your children fail, you
figure, what did I do wrong as a
parent,” she says, “But no – there
was just this momentum of support (for softball).”
“Many of us have sons who are
part of the baseball program,” she
says. “Hopefully, we can feed off
each other.”
“When a program has been established for a long time, anytime
you want to change it, you’re
going to have some resistance,”
says LeBlanc. Millis Baseball has
been charged with taking care of
Softball for a long time, she says.

Millis Cross Country Finds a Home at Oak Grove Farm
by
Christopher Tremblay
Three years ago, it was the students of Millis High School who
came to Athletic Director Chuck
Grant with the hopes of putting together a cross country team. Last
fall, the Mohawks participated
in cross country for the first time
in school history. Unfortunately,
they did not have a home course
and wer forced to take its runners
on the road each and every meet.
This year, Millis, in thanks to
Steve Macinnes and the Oak
Grove Farm Commission, as well
as the hard work of Coach Laura
Connor behind the scenes, the Mohawks will have a home course.
RADON
On October 8, Millis hosted Norton for the first ever home cross
country meet. Unfortunately for
the Mohawks, Norton took both
the boys’ and girls’ meets, with
Lancer Michael Tierney crossing
the finishing line first setting the
course record at 17:11. Norton,
which is currently undefeated,
had the first five male runners finish the race before Millis’ John
Frasca became the first Mohawk
runner to complete the course
in18:43. Norton’s Katie Bradley
was the first female across the line
with Millis’ Katy Golden (20:35)
right behind her in second. Jessica
O’Reilly and Parousia Cruz were
fourth and fifth respectively for

the Mohawks in the first ever running at Oak Grove.
While it was Oak Grove that donated the fields to be used as Millis home course, it was Connor
who did all the work to come up
with the course concept and how it
would play out. The Coach originally went to the area on her own
to map out the would-be course
before bringing some of the runners as well as Grant. All were in
compliance.
“When I was mapping it out I
wanted to stay true to cross country, where the course would go
through the woods and trails and
then out to the open fields,” the
coach said. “I wanted to take full
advantage of the area that we had
at our expense. My main goal was
to put together a 5K (3.1 miles),
as most courses are only 2.5 miles,
but I couldn’t get that to work
out.”
The entire course ended up
being 3 miles, where the runners
would take off into the woods,
onto a field and grassy area then
loop back into the woods making
a figure eight, according to Connor. Upon exiting the woods at the
2-mile marker, the runners would
then complete the final mile to the
finish line around the soccer fields.
The first ever race at Millis’ Oak Grove gets underway.
“The last mile is where the running usually gets tough; runners
begin to tire and can lose their
concentration as well as their footing,” the coach said. “So having
the final stretch on a flat surface
not only helps the runners, but also
gives the spectators great areas to
watch the conclusion of the race.”
Although the team has yet to actually run on the course for a full
year, the coach firmly believes
that it having a course of their own
will benefit the Millis runners in
the long run.
“It’s been great so far to have our
own course to train on, the runners
are getting comfortable and excited,” Connor said. “Last year we
didn’t have this luxury. It wasn’t
that it was a disadvantage in not
having our own course last year; it
was the fact that we had to travel.
The long bus rides to the opposing team’s course, then walking
through the course to learn it and
get comfortable, while still trying
to get warmed up for the actual
meet.”
In only their second season as
a varsity sport, the Millis runners
are excited about building the program and moving it into the fore
front as a legitimate cross country
program. The numbers for the
girls’ team are up this year, but
the boys’ are down, as the majority of last year’s team was seniors.
Despite the numbers, cross country has come to Millis and the
school is fully ready to embody
the program.

Medway’s Hope Ready For Soph Hoop Season at BU
By KEN HAMWEY
Sarah Hope has some definite
goals for her sophomore season at
Boston University.
The 5-foot-7 Hope, who finished
her basketball career at Medway High as its all-time leading
scorer with 1,228 points, wants
the Terriers to be Patriot League
champions and she’s eager to be
more of a scoring threat whether
she plays off-guard or at the point.
As a freshman last year, Hope became a starter after nine games,
averaged 6.4 points and led BU in
three-point baskets (60).
“Even though we finished under
.500 (13-20) last year, we’ve got
a realistic chance to win the Patriot League,’’ Hope said. “This
season will be only our second
season in the league but our players have progressed and we’re getting comfortable with new coach
Kathy Steding’s style of up-tempo
basketball.’’
Hope’s transition from the Tri
Valley League to Division 1 college basketball has been smooth.
Instead of riding the bench as a
rookie, she adjusted quickly and
started 24 of the Terriers’ games.
“There was a bit of adjusting,’’
said Hope, whose work ethic is
insatiable. “The college game
is faster and quicker than high
school, the players are bigger and
taller and every opponent has a
lineup of former high-school allstars. In time, however, I got comfortable and became a starter at
shooting guard.’’
Hope will be undergoing another transition in her second
year, because Kelly Greenberg
was released as BU’s head coach
and Steding, an assistant at CalBerkeley last year, has taken the
reins and implemented a different style. During the summer and
early fall, Hope worked diligently
at both guard slots to prepare for a
new approach.
“Coach Steding likes fast-break
basketball,’’ Hope said. “She prefers an offense that’s always moving and a defense that applies lots
of pressure. Before, coach Greenberg employed a more deliberate,
half-court game. I’ll miss Kelly.
She was very helpful in my first
season, and I’m grateful for her
assistance.’’
Hope had some quality efforts
during her frosh season. She
scored 19 points against Marist,
which included six three-pointers.
“The Bucknell game was memorable because it was at BU on
Alumni night and I had a good
game,’’ Hope recalled. “There was
a big crowd on hand, and we won
big.’’
As a full scholarship athlete,
Hope is the ultimate warrior when
it comes to academic and athletic
endeavors. Her summer and early
fall are classic examples. She finished a psychology course in six
weeks during the summer and also
lifted weights, ran often and played
in various games and scrimmages.
Her autumn schedule included
weight lifting and running and
practice five or six times weekly.
“I’m very excited to get
started,’’ Hope said about opening
at Northeastern on Nov. 14. “I’ve
now got a year under my belt, and
I know what to expect. Last year,
I had no idea how much playing
time I’d get. As a sophomore now,
I’m confident that all our preparation as a team and all the bonding
will be a plus. I’m comfortable
with the program. I like the campus, and I enjoy the city.’’
At Medway, Hope was a TVL
all-star for four seasons, a twotime captain, and she helped the
Mustangs qualify for tourney play
in three of her four campaigns.
She finished her senior year as the
TVL’s MVP.
As a freshman at BU, Hope
was chosen to the Patriot League
honor roll. A broadcast journalism
major, she finished her initial year
with a 3.4 GPA. Some of the Patriot League schools include Holy
Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Army,
Navy, Bucknell and American
University. Hope’s career goal is
to become a sports journalist.
But, before she enters the work
force, there’s lots of basketball
ahead.
Scoring 211 points as a college freshman in Division 1 at Boston
University speaks volumes about Sarah Hope’s future, which should
sparkle and shine with success.

“In the Patriot League Tournament last year, we beat Loyola of
Baltimore in the first round, then
lost by only four to Army, which
won the league title,’’ Hope noted.
“That’s why we’ve got a shot to
win the league crown.’’

upon the work of educational
psychologist Lev Vygotsky,
which states that children are
likely to become more successful
when taught to extend their
thinking by learning explicit
“tools” that put them in charge of
their own learning. As students
learn these problem-solving
skills, they begin to change their
own cognitive thinking as well
as their social, emotional and
physical behaviors that result
in greater self-awareness and
self-regulation. Students learn
through dramatic play, peer-topeer interaction, and through
purposeful planning how to take
command of their own learning,
make strong connections to
learning themes and evaluate
their own success as well as how
to set learning goals. Feedback
about progress made towards
these learning goals is provided
through both peer conferencing
and through direct feedback from
teachers. The belief is that when
children are explicitly taught how
to set their own learning goals and
are able to take ownership of their
learning through imaginative
ways which challenge them
to think and problem solve,
they develop both the skill and
confidence as learners. And it’s
just fun, too!
Last year the Millis Kindergarten
program was designated by Tools
of the Mind as a “Northeast
Regional School of Distinction.”
As a “demonstration site school,”
Kindergarten classrooms model
best instructional practices, and
they have hosted visitors from
Illinois, New York City, and Cape
Cod as well as from as far away
as Russia. Representatives from
the Massachusetts Department of
Early and Secondary Education
will visit this fall to observe the
successful program.
This academic year, Millis
PreK Program teachers are also

training.

Ellie Fund Fundraiser November
13 at Primavera in Millis
By J.D. O’Gara
Laughter promises a little relief to breast cancer survivors and
their families in a fundraiser for the
Needham-based organization, the
Ellie Fund (elliefund.org), coming up at Primavera restaurant, 20
Pleasant Street in Millis. “Dinner &
Comedy to Benefit the Ellie Fund”
will take place on Thursday, November 13, starting at 6:30 p.m.
The event will feature a full buffet
dinner with music and two comedians – Harrison Stebbins and Jessica
Casciano, as well as some special
raffle prizes. Musical entertainment
will be provided by Teddy Larkin.
Tickets for this fundraiser are $45,
available at Eventbrite, confidencebeads.com and beadsforacause.
com.
“The Ellie Fund provide services
to women who are fighting breast
cancer for things insurance doesn’t
pay for, like child care, healthy prepared meals and transportation to
and from treatment,” says Linda
Waters, founder of Beads for a
Cause, which has created and sold
beads for and has given 20% of its
profits from these beads to charities for causes such as the Franklin
Athletics, Franklin Food Pantry,
the Boston Bruins Foundation, and
the Pan Mass Challenge benefiting
Dana Farber. Confidence Beads,
also headed by Waters, benefits
Ovations for the Cure and New
Hope.
“As women, we don’t want to ask
for help, we like being the ones that
help,” says Waters, who says that
even such costs as parking are a
hardship for someone who is sick.
“Think about paying $18 a day to
park for treatment,” she says.
Last year, Waters participated in
the Ellie Fund’s “Do Good” campaign, working with the Franklin
Café and 3 Restaurant on two separate fundraisers for the cause, and
also enlisting the help of a number
of other local businesses.
The Ellie Fund, begun by brothers Jeff and Eliot Popkin in 1995
to honor their Newton mother,
Ellie’s fight against breast cancer
and her giving spirit, provides, for
no charge, thanks to donations,
critical support services including
transportation to medical appointments, childcare, housekeeping,
groceries, and nutritious prepared/
delivered meals free of charge to
hundreds of women and family
members across Massachusetts
each year. Patients are referred
to the organization by oncology
social workers or patient navigators at hospitals when they receive
treatment. The idea is to help those
with breast cancer by easing the
burden on them and their families.
According to the Ellie Fund,
Nancy, age 40, from Franklin, received a breast cancer diagnosis
2009. At the time, she was living
with an emotionally abusive husband, and her diagnosis was overwhelming. She had two young
children, ages 6 and 7, both with
autism who required special care
and attention.
“When I was diagnosed with
breast cancer, I already felt so isolated from my family and friends,
and with this, I felt like I had no
one to turn to. I also believed that I
couldn’t leave my relationship and
still be able to care for my kids and
work full time, all the while try-
2014 REBATES

WITH ZERO% FINANCING
ing to go to treatment. The Ellie
Fund immediately stepped in to
help with childcare and rides to
my chemo and radiation, which
was incredible. The Ellie Fund
also gave me the strength leave
my relationship, because I knew I
had that support system. I made it
through treatment and am thankful
everyday,” she says.
Sharon, a 68-year-old woman
from Easton, received a stage 4
breast cancer diagnosis in 2013.
Sharon was unable to work due
to her treatment schedule and
was financially struggling. When
Sharon arrived to treatment, she
mentioned to her social worker
that she was hungry because she
did not have any food in her home
and could not afford to go shopping. In addition, she was often
too ill, nauseous and exhausted
from treatment to prepare something.
The Ellie Fund immediately
stepped in, providing Sharon with
prepared meals the very next day,
and making sure she had groceries
and meals for the rest of her treatment. Sharon truly believes that
the food she received strengthened
her both physically and emotionally enough to get through treatment.
The Ellie Fund now supports
over 500 breast cancer patients
and their families across the state,
raising $529,000 annually for the
effort.

Fund, or to join in its mission,

The play was selected by the
group’s play reading committee,
because after reading the first
few pages, they were all laughing
out loud. The theatre group
has previously produced two of
Cooney’s other plays, and the
cast and audience raved about
them.
The play opens with Tom and
Linda Kerwood hoping to adopt
a baby, and have an important
meeting with the adoption agency

“Writing a recommendation for Sandy to highlight all his qualifications is as
difficult as trying to find the perfect greeting card to express yourself to
someone special. Some cards have so many words yet say and mean so little;
and others have so few words that say and mean so much. So, in regards to
Sandy – He is “SIMPLY THE BEST”. Our sincere thanks for a job well done.”

ASK THE REALTOR
E.R.A. Key Realty Services
by E. “Cappy” Capozzoli
Ally & Shane Ask: “We are
planning to buy our 1st home
soon, but are concerned with
all of the paperwork and the
possibility of ending up with a
money pit, your thoughts?.”
Good for you, being concerned
is a good thing. Buying your 1st
home is a really big step, so move
ahead with caution. First of all,
remember “Paperwork” is really
the benign name for “Contract.”
Be sure your Attorney reviews
all contracts before you sign.
Talk the process over with your
Realtor (hopefully me), and
make sure you understand the
whole process from beginning
to end.
Assuming you will be taking
out a mortgage, meet with
your Loan Officer and get preapproved for financing. Know
and understand all the normal
expenses of home ownership.
When making an “Offer,” be sure
to understand not only the money
involved, but also the dates
(which are indeed deadlines).
The Offer should contain
time for you to have the home
inspected for deficiencies by a
Professional Home Inspector,
and a clause giving you the time
required to get your mortgage
approved. Also, included should
be a clause subject to your
Attorney’s review and approval
of the final “Purchase and Sales
Agreement.”
For your Home Inspection
make sure to select a licensed
professional and be present when
the inspection is being done.
If there are defects discovered
during the inspection you will be
glad you did, as you may have to
bring in other specialists such as
Roofers, Plumbers, Electricians
or HVAC Technicians.
Contact me for a list of
professionals or for a “Time
Line Form” should you want to
better understand the step-bystep home buying process.

“ ROBIN SPANGENBERG was recommended to me by a close friend who told me “there’s no one
better to help you”. She was so right! Our family’s journey to find our dream home was not an easy one
but Robin never gave up & today we could not be happier. She is smart, professional & goes above &
beyond for her clients. I have complete trust & confidence in Robin & her husband Mark Spangenberg.
A class act all the way! C. Adams, Millis ”
