Millis to Dedicate New 

Memorial on Veterans Day 

New Monument Honors Veterans from end 

of Vietnam through Present Day 

John Monti, of A. Monti Granite Company, in Quincy lays etchings atop granite that will become 

Millis’ memorial to its fallen veterans from the Vietnam War through all conflicts to the present day. 

The stone came from the same quarry as the Vietnam/Korean monument, which was etched by 

Monti’s father. It will be dedicated at the Millis Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. on November 11. 

By J.D. O’Gara 

The Veterans Day Ceremony 

in Millis will take place 

on November 11, 2016. The 

ceremony will begin promptly 

at 11 a.m. at the Veterans 

newly expanded Memorial 

Park in front of the Millis Town 

Hall. This year’s program will 

include the dedication of the 

new Veterans Memorial to 

honor all those Millis residents 

who have served during the 

conflicts in Grenada, Panama 

and the Persian Gulf War. 

“This brings to a conclusion 

what I hoped, what I wanted 

to see accomplished and I’m 

pleased to see that the town is 

finally going to complete it as

Fundraising Gets 

Social Media Savvy for 

Medway Foundation 

for Education 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Telethons are awfully hard to 

pull off these days, in the era of 

cell phones and telemarketers, 

not to mention the dwindling of 

land lines. That’s what prompted 

the Medway Foundation for Education, 

a non-profit educational 

community foundation that has 

given out $255,000 in grants Medway 

Public School educators since 

2002, to try something new this 

year – the non-telethon. 

“We have historically, for over a 

decade, done an annual telethon,” 

says Brian Gray, president of the 

Medway Foundation for Education 

this year, who has been involved 

for about 10 years now. “Mostly 

high school students would spend 

three nights a week for two weeks 

making phone calls, basically, to 

residents in town for donations 

to support the program.” At one 

time, says Gray, this fundraiser 

worked very well, one year bringing 

in nearly $10,000, but in the 

past few years, donations have declined 

to just half of that last year. 

The non-telethon was launched 

through social media and the 

school communications and website. 

“We’ve made efforts in past year 

to modernize,” says Gray. “We’re 

getting on social media, and we 

have two great interns at the high 

school helping us do that.” 

Sue Olson, MFE Vice-President, 

says that last year, those two 

students were Annie Muise and 

Kylie O’Neill, and this year, the 

two interns are Kylie O’Neall and 

Clarissa Marroquin. 

“The plan is to always have a 

senior and a junior,” says Olson. 

“We have two seniors this year, because 

Clarissa has a lot of graphics 

experience and we want to revamp 

the logo and spruce up the website, 

and in return they get a scholarship 

at the end of the year and

we hoped it would be,” says lifelong 

Millis resident, WWII veteran 

and American Legion Post 

208 member Bud Shropshire, 

who came up with a design for 

the site at Veterans Memorial 

Building and advocated for an 

expanded memorial for about 

16 years. 

When the new Millis Police 

Station was to be built, the Korean/Vietnam 

War memorial o 

the site needed to be moved to 

the Veterans Memorial Building. 

“That process has been going 

on for at least two years now,” 

says Millis DPW Director Jim 

McKay. “That left an opening to 

design something from Vietnam 

on for every conflict. There was 

nothing that commemorated the 

veterans from that time period.” 

Thanks to the research efforts 

of past Millis Veterans Services 

Officers Bob Yeager and John 

Wypizinski, as well as the Millis’ 

current Veterans Officer, Cynthia 

Harris, says McKay, the 

new monument, created by the 

same company, A. Monti Granite 

Company, that created the 

Vietnam/Korean monument, 

contains over 80 names of fallen 

Millis soldiers. 

Some of those soldiers 

named, says McKay, served in 

different conflicts. Harris, he 

says, came up with a way to address 

this on the monument. 

“There might be around 10 

people that have served in different 

conflicts, and the way we’re 

going to commemorate them is, 

beside each name, there will be 

a star put there, and that will indicate 

they served in more than 

one of the conflicts. 

It’s one of the greatest things 

that I’ve worked on since I’ve 

been here. To look at names like 

that, and you see that they were 

young kids you’ve seen on the 

ball field – meeting with all the 

veterans from WWII to the present 

– it’s been a complete honor 

working on something like this,” 

says McKay. 

With the walkway and lighting, 

says McKay, people are telling 

him that they’ve looked at the 

memorial for the first time. They 

become even more enthusiastic 

when they hear there will be another 

monument installed. 

“This is the first time since 

1975, when the Vietnam war 

ended, that all those that served 

in the conflict will be recognized,” 

says Mark Slayton, 

Vietnam veteran and American 

Legion Post 208 member. 

The Master of Ceremonies 

will be American Legion Post 

208 Commander Lawrence J. 

McCarter, SMSgt, USAF (Ret). 

Participants will include: American 

Legion Post 208, AMVETS

Elsie Slowe, and Abigail Wine, 

from the Class of 2016 qualified 

for the AP Scholar with Honor 

Award by earning an average 

score of at least 3.25 on all AP 

Exams taken, and scores of 3 or 

higher on four or more of these 

exams. 

Caroline Denman, Timothy 

Kane, Amardev Khalsa, Ross 

Liebert, Lyntessa May, Emily 

McCabe, and Valeska Vieira, 

from the Class of 2016, qualified 

for the AP Scholar Award 

by completing three or more AP 

Exams with scores of 3 or higher. 

The AP Scholar from the current 

class of 2017 is Amanda Busa, 

who has one more year in which 

to complete college-level work 

and possibly earn a higher-level 

AP Scholar Award. 

These students were part of 

a group of Millis High School 

students who helped the school 

earn distinction as one of only 

425 schools in the United States 

and Canada to be included on the 

2016 AP Honor Roll for increasing 

access to AP curriculum while 

maintaining high standards. 

Through 34 different collegelevel 

courses and exams, AP provides 

willing and academically 

prepared students with the opportunity 

to earn college credit or advanced 

placement and stand out 

in the college admission process. 

Each exam is developed by a committee 

of college and university 

faculty and AP teachers, ensuring 

that AP Exams are aligned with 

the same high standards expected 

by college faculty at some of the 

nation’s leading liberal arts and 

research institutions. More than 

3,800 colleges and universities 

annually receive AP scores. Most 

four-year colleges in the United 

States provide credit and/or advanced 

placement for qualifying 

exam scores. Research consistently 

shows that AP students who 

score a 3 or higher on AP Exams 

(based on a scale from 1 to 5, with 

5 being the highest) typically experience 

greater academic success 

in college and have higher college 

graduation rates than students 

who do not participate in AP.

to see. The outside of the building 

is undergoing a major landscaping 

transformation and will 

soon match the beauty inside, 

complete with outside sitting 

areas. 

When asked what she loves 

about what she does, Kathleen 

Orszulak, who has owned Willow 

for 14 years, “Everything. I 

love that we can make a difference 

every day in someone’s life, 

where they leave feeling good. 

Our entire staff ’s commitment 

to advanced education continues 

year round. It’s what keeps 

us always inspired. Every day is 

different, and I love working with 

my girls.” 

Education is serious business 

for the staff at Willow. In addition 

to traveling all over the 

world training with elite educators, 

Willow is also an official 

host salon for Goldwell (Industry 

leader for color & education) 

offering monthly education for 

stylists from all over. 

Being a Platinum level Goldwell 

Salon provides Willow with 

product and education advantages 

to remain leaders in the 

latest techniques and styles. 

At Willow, you don’t have to 

look far for a specialist in her 

craft. Willow’s hair stylists are 

known for their expertise in advanced 

cutting, men’s cutting 

and color, using the latest techniques 

such as balayage, or hair 

painting, which is a more artistic 

style of coloring that reduces 

the frequency of touch-ups. Our 

Masseuse is one of the best in 

the area. Our skin therapists use 

Dermalogica and PCA Skin. 

Dermalogica is one of the most 

award winning skin care lines in 

the world. PCA skin offers advanced 

skin care treatments that 

include chemical peels for all skin 

types and conditions. PCA skin 

is an industry leader in corrective 

treatments for acne, rosacea, 

pigmentation and ageing. Jane 

Iredale mineral makeup, the 

skincare makeup is our official 

makeup. . . Also, beginning this 

December we will be adding airbrush 

tanning, and Botox with 

a Nurse Practitioner to our corrective 

therapies. The Spa side 

offers luxurious, state of the art 

Pedicure chairs, with glass bowls 

and a fresh liner for every client, 

and creams & lotions are purchased 

locally at Molly’s Apothecary 

in Medway, Mass. Willow’s 

nail technicians use only the 

most up-to-date, hospital-grade 

sterilization methods and equipment 

for expert manicures and 

pedicures. 

All of this knowledge and skill 

in one location make Willow the 

perfect spot for those looking to 

escape to a sanctuary in which to 

relax and indulge in a variety of 

services, such as advanced hair 

styling and color, waxing, massage, 

customized facials, PCA 

facial peels, back treatments, 

microzone facial treatments, 

manicures, pedicures, full body 

polishes, neck & shoulder massages, 

body exfoliation, and 

therapeutic facial masks for individuals 

or parties. Willow also 

takes care of the hair and 

makeup needs of brides and 

their parties on the big day, catering 

to a wedding nearly every 

week. Willow offers packages for 

brides to help getting skin ready 

for the big day. 

Not only does Willow Salon & 

Day Spa take care of its clients, 

but it also helps to take care of its 

wider community. 

“We always do charitable 

things in the town and in surrounding 

towns,” says Kathleen, 

who says she often donates services 

for local auctions and fundraisers. 

“Because it helps people, 

and I think we all feel very fortunate 

here.” Recently, the salon 

participated in a fundraiser for 

Medway Schools, offering gift 

cards at a discount and raising 

money for the schools. Last year, 

the salon got involved in supporting 

a prom for special needs 

students at Millis Schools, raising 

funds for the event with a raffle 

and providing hair & makeup 

services to some of the students. 

“We try to pick different 

causes,” says the entrepreneur. 

In October, for example, Willow 

raised funds for “The Polished 

Man” (www.polishedman.com). 

Both male and female clients 

could have one nail painted a 

different color for a $5 donation 

to the group, which combats violence 

against children worldwide. 

Willow Salon & Day Spa is 

located at 1275 Main Street, in

Shop Local 

You may be aware that Saturday, November 26th is nationally recognized as Small 

Business Saturday. 

We think this is important. 

However, we like to think of every day as an opportunity to support local 

businesses. Luckily, so many of you share our sentiments. 

Often referred to as the Shop Local or Buy Local movement, there are widespread 

and undeniable benefits in a shared commitment to support our local merchants. We see 

this trend gaining considerable momentum in the communities we’re so privileged to 

serve. 

This movement is more about what’s good for a community and its residents, and 

less about global retailers extracting money from our towns. 

As your community bank, we’ve 

proudly taken the lead on supporting our 

local merchants and organizations. 

We believe that buying local means 

banking local. A bank like ours ensures 

your deposits will be reinvested directly 

into this community. 

It may be interesting to know that 

more people have made the switch to 

Needham Bank in 2016 than in any prior 

year throughout our long history. For 

that, we are most grateful. 

Your decision to bank locally 

enables us to increase our capital, which 

not only allows us to lend more locally, 

but also helps fund more of the local 

initiatives that we all care about. 

As our business continues to grow, 

we will continue to expand what we give 

back to the community. In just this year 

alone we will support over 300 different 

community organizations. 

This November and throughout the 

holiday season, remember that shopping 

local has a profoundly positive impact on 

our community and the local economy.

The Medway Foundation for Education turned to social media as 

interest in its annual telethon declined. This tally board, located

and college application.” 

There are a few old fashioned 

indicators of the fundraiser, including 

lawn signs around town as 

well as a tally board at the Medway 

Middle School, beautifully 

designed and painted by Medway 

High School freshman Ethan 

Core. 

Donating at The Medway 

Foundation for Education website, 

www.MFEducation.org, is quick 

and easy with a Network for Good 

link 

“It’s how people pay for 

things,” says Olson. Years ago, 

she says, the MFE would send 

people out to collect donations in 

envelopes from residents who had 

committed to donate, a process 

that was a lot of work. 

MFE supporters can also mail 

a check or drop them off in boxes 

at at both Middlesex Savings Bank 

and Charles River Bank in Medway. 

Want to be a part of the Medway 

Foundation for Education and 

help fund innovative programming 

in the schools? Olson says 

the group is looking for new board 

members, as the current members 

have older kids and will soon need 

to pass down ownership of the 

program. 

The non-telethon is just one 

way MFE is looking to keep fresh. 

Last spring, it had great success 

with a dodge ball event, and Gray 

and Olson expect interest in that 

will grow this year. This month, 

they are working with Pour Richards 

in Franklin on November 17 

for a wine and whiskey fundraising 

night from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tickets,

the door. 

Other upcoming MFE fundraisers 

include a food truck festival 

at the Thayer House, a prom gown 

consignment sale, a Whole Foods 

fundraiser, a Napper Tandy’s fundraiser 

for the holiday season and 

an annual Trivia Bee (12 years in 

the running), in March. 

Gray points out that area businesses 

have been wonderfully supportive, 

including (but not limited 

to Middlesex Bank and Charles 

River Bank, Direct Tire, Cybex, 

Medway Block, the Muffin House 

and Custom Apparel. 

The purpose of all of this fundraising? 

“We do all this so we can raise 

money, so we can turn around and 

give grants for things that are beyond 

the normal school budget,” 

says Gray. “Our median annual 

grant budget is about $18,000 and 

we’re hoping to grow that. We’re 

also hoping to grow an endowment 

fund, so we can lean on that 

in the future to support grant funding. 

“Grants run from better access 

to technology such as Smartmusic 

and iPads to funding for art and 

exercise programs and innovations 

to make classrooms work 

better. Sometimes, if MFE funds a 

proposal one year and it does well, 

the school might pull that into the 

budget for the following year. Gray 

notes that this happened with “Science 

Saturday for Girls,” which 

later became “STEM Saturday for 

Girls,” that’s now getting funding 

through the regular school budget. 

Similarly, Olson points out that 

Medway students now have access 

to JSTOR, a wealth of high quality 

academic journals and books, 

after MFE initially funded the access. 

Other examples of MFE grants 

include: 

• The Permanent District Student 

Art Collection 

• BOKS (Reebok Foundation before 

and after school physical 

activity) 

• Micropipettes for Molecular Genetics 

Applications 

• 6 th Grade Speaker Series (Lost 

Boys of Sudan, etc.) 

• Fostering Curious Readers 

• The WeatherBug System 

• Middle School Garden 

• Investigating Rotational Motion, 

and The “Herren Project,” 

among many others. 

For the latter, Gray explains 

that MFE works in cooperation 

with the Medway Parent Teacher 

Organization, MEPTO. When 

MEPTO planned to have Chris 

Herren come talk to the students 

about his experience with drugs, 

they reached out to MFE to fund 

a program for the parents. 

“We had like 600 people come 

to that event,” says Gray.

The Medway Foundation for 

Education (MFE), a non-profit 

organization chartered to improve 

the quality of education in 

the town’s public schools, is sponsoring 

a wine and whiskey tasting 

fundraiser on Thursday, Nov. 

17, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 

Pour Richards, 14 Grove Street, 

Franklin. 

Pour Richards, which will be 

donating a portion of its profits 

that night to the MFE, offers an 

extensive selection of fine wines, 

whiskey and craft beer from 

around the world, specializing in 

libations for the upcoming holiday 

season. 

Tickets are $10 in advance

please go to MFeducation.

Brian Gray, MFE President, 

said, “The event is a great way to 

kick off the holiday season for a 

good cause. With Thanksgiving, 

Christmas and New Year’s on the 

near horizon, it’s the perfect time 

of year to stock up on quality 

wines, craft beer and other spirits. 

We are grateful to Pour Richards 

for their generous support.” 

Formed during the summer of 

2001, the Medway Foundation 

for Education (MFE) is a nonprofit 

organization charged with 

raising capital to fund innovative, 

educational projects throughout 

Medway’s public schools that are 

not covered by the school budget. 

Using moneys generated from 

community events, contributions, 

and educational grants, MFE allocates 

funds through a grant 

process to teacher-sponsored 

projects and technologies that 

dramatically impact the quality 

of education that students receive.

Medway Lions Recognizes One 

of its Own 

At the September Medway 

Lions monthly dinner meeting, 

the club presented Lion Peter 

Ciolek with the Massachusetts 

Lions Eye Research Sight Award 

in recognition of his outstanding 

and dedicated service to furthering 

the cause of eye research. 

Peter has been a Medway 

Lion for over fifteen years, during 

which time he has served in 

a variety of positions both in the 

Medway club, and with the district 

in dedicated support of the 

Eye Mobile. While the criteria for 

selecting an award recipient varies 

from club to club, it may include 

the Lion’s participation in 

fund raising activities, dedicated 

work on projects for the blind, 

or overall service to the goals of 

eye research. It was obvious that 

Peter fit all categories. 

As a Sight Award recipient, 

Peter received an Eye Research 

Sight Award pin and distinctive 

plaque.

Flashes and Floaters 

By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Many patients will be aware 

of small flying “black spots” in 

the field of vision in one or both 

eyes. These are called floaters 

and may be associated with 

flashes of light. Flashes and floaters 

may have serious implications 

on the vision. 

What are floaters? 

Floaters are small black shadows 

in the vision of one or both 

eyes, especially when looking at a 

specific surface like a white page, 

a bright sky or perhaps when 

walking on the beach. These 

black spots are impurities in the 

fluid that fills the back cavity of 

the eye. This jelly fluid is called 

the “vitreous” and has a consistency 

similar to “egg white.” This 

vitreous fluid is present in the eye 

from birth and is not replaced or 

exchanged during life. It is initially 

attached to the surface of

the eye. It is important to note 

that it is not necessarily abnormal 

to see black spots in the vision. 

The size and number of 

floaters seen is variable; some 

patients (especially short sighted 

people) will be aware of numerous 

floaters, while others may 

never be aware of the symptom 

at all. Some floaters can interfere 

severely with vision, while 

others are barely noticeable. Although 

annoying, floaters are 

usually harmless and come and 

go over the years. 

What are flashes? 

Flashes are usually caused 

by the vitreous body tugging 

on the retina. This tugging 

occurs when the vitreous body 

shrinks as a normal part of the 

aging process. Flashes may last 

for a few seconds or several minutes 

and can occur on and off 

for weeks or months. They are 

usually seen at night or in poor 

lighting. 

Eye migraine can cause 

the perception of similar light 

flashes, although often these 

flashes of light may have numerous 

colors. The abnormal 

light flashes seen with migraines 

are usually very different, appearing 

as jagged lines blocking 

an area of vision or moving 

slowly across the field of vision 

in one or both eyes. People who 

suffer from migraine headaches 

will often know the familiar pattern 

of these visual experiences, 

often occurring just before the

headaches begin. These migraine 

flashes are unrelated to 

the vitreous body and its attachment 

to the retina. 

What causes flashes and 

floaters? 

The vitreous is composed of 

collagen, and this undergoes 

structural changes with age, 

and will become more liquid 

like and watery in later life. At 

some point, the chemical bonds 

that link the vitreous fluid to the 

surface of the retina will become 

weaker and the vitreous jelly will 

separate from the retina. This 

process is called posterior vitreous 

detachment or PVD and 

is a normal consequence of 

aging. Approximately half of 

us will have a PVD in one or 

both eyes by the age of 60. PVD 

will often cause us to notice 

the sudden onset of new floaters, 

often associated with flashes 

of light. Unfortunately, the vitreous 

body is sometimes more 

firmly attached to the surface 

of the retina and may pull away 

a piece of the retina or tear the 

retina as it separates. This can 

cause fluid to escape, pushing 

the retina off the inside of the 

eye. This is known as retinal 

detachment, which is a serious 

threat to sight. Surgery is needed 

to reattach the retina if a retinal 

detachment occurs.

When should I seek help? 

See your ophthalmologist 

if new floaters appear, with or 

without sudden light flashes. Any 

loss of peripheral (side) vision 

should be investigated without 

delay. Your ophthalmologist 

will give you a complete eye examination. 

Drops are put in the 

eyes to enlarge the pupils and 

determine whether PVD, retinal 

tear, retinal detachment or 

bleeding is present. If you have 

occasional floaters and flashes, 

you should have an annual eye 

examination. 

Symptoms of a PVD most 

often occur in one eye at a 

time. Even though your ophthalmologist 

will check both eyes at 

the first visit, it is important to 

realize that if similar symptoms 

are experienced in the other eye, 

you should see your ophthalmologist 

again with the onset 

of new flashes or floaters as you 

could be having a PVD in this 

eye. 

Is there any treatment 

for flashes and floaters? 

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 

usually subside over time, causing 

no permanent deterioration 

to vision.

Enjoying a Guilt-Free Holiday Dinner 

Adhering to a diet on special 

occasions has always proved challenging 

for Roy DeGrandpre. He 

was enthused when he joined New 

England Fat Loss (NEFL) on October 

1, 2015. However, Thanksgiving 

Day loomed in the near future. 

When the big day arrived, the 54 

year-old had already lost 43 pounds 

and gratefully approached the 

event with a totally new outlook. 

“In the past, every time I’ve dieted, 

I’ve dreaded the holidays,” 

DeGrandpre said. “The holidays 

are about great family, great food 

and letting go, but this year was 

completely different. When I woke 

up on Thanksgiving, I told myself 

I was not going to go overboard, 

but if I saw something I wanted, I 

was going to try it and enjoy every 

bite.” 

Armed with a successful diet 

plan and a personal nutritional 

menu from NEFL, DeGrandpre 

allowed himself to enjoy a truly 

satisfying Thanksgiving knowing 

he had a clear direction for the day 

after. 

“The difference this time was 

that I had full and complete confidence 

that starting the next day, I 

could just follow the program again 

and very shortly, I would be right 

back to my Thanksgiving morning 

weight,” DeGrandpre said. “There 

was absolutely no doubt in my 

mind that I would accomplish that. 

It took me only two days.” 

At press time, DeGrandpre had 

lost an impressive 54 pounds just 

six weeks into the program. In addition 

to the weight loss he was also 

experiencing other physical benefits. 

For example, now carrying a 

lot less weight, he only requires 20 

percent of his original insulin dosage 

to manage his diabetes. He also 

is experiencing quite an increase in 

stamina. 

“I have more energy than I feel 

I have had in years, as far back as I 

can remember,” DeGrandpre said. 

“A lot of that is because even when 

I was thinner and younger, I still 

wasn’t eating healthy. Anyone who 

is diabetic should be calling right 

away because your energy and 

health will benefit greatly.” 

DeGrandpre did all the work, 

but also credits the support and 

guidance from the NEFL staff. The 

hour’s commute to the Newton office 

from his Amherst, NH home 

required additional commitment, 

but the effort was well worth the result. 

His personal interaction with 

the staff who he described as available, 

encouraging, friendly and 

knowledgeable, and with Dr. Johns 

who he would text with daily, made 

him feel like his weight loss was a 

successful team effort!

Council to Discuss 

New Laws 

Presents Compliance Review 

of Sick Time, ACA and New 

Overtime Laws Nov. 9 

On December 1, 2016, 

a new “white collar” Overtime 

Law goes into effect. 

In addition, businesses also 

need to comply with a variety 

of other workforce 

laws including Massachusetts 

Sick Time Law (implemented 

in July 2015) and the 

Affordable Care Act (ACA). 

Knowing that it can be 

a challenge for businesses 

to keep on top of changing 

laws and what they need to 

do to comply, the Medway 

Business Council is hosting 

a free review of the laws on 

November 9, from 5-7 p.m., 

at Charles River Bank, 70 

Main Street in Medway, 

who is graciously sponsoring 

this event. The meeting 

is OPEN TO ALL AREA

Ross Announces DEP 

Grants for Communities 

State Senator Richard Ross 

is pleased to announce that the 

Massachusetts Department of 

Environmental Protection (Mass- 

DEP) has recently awarded municipal/regional 

grants under its 

Sustainable Material Recovery 

Program (SMRP) to 11 cities and 

towns in the Norfolk, Bristol and 

Middlesex District. The towns 

represented by Senator Ross 

that have received grant awards 

include Franklin, Millis, Natick, 

Needham, Norfolk, North Attleboro, 

Plainville, Sherborn, Wayland, 

Wellesley and Wrentham. 

Created under the Green 

Communities Act, the SMRP allocates 

a portion of the proceeds 

from the sale of Waste Energy 

Certificates to recycling programs 

approved by the MassDEP. Municipalities 

are awarded grants for 

recycling, composting and reuse 

and source reduction activities 

that help divert municipal solid 

waste and household waste from 

disposal. 

“The process of responsibly 

managing solid waste is not only 

the responsibility of us as citizens, 

but is necessary for a healthy and 

green community environment,” 

said Senator Ross. “I am pleased 

that my district is actively taking 

part in various environmental 

protection procedures.” 

Please contact the office of 

Senator Ross with any questions 

or concerns at (617) 722-1555 or

Passport Photo Requirements Changing November 1 

AAA Travel is reminding 

travelers of a change announced 

by the U.S. State Department. 

Beginning November 1, travelers 

must remove their eyeglasses 

when having passport photos 

taken. Travelers who have photos 

where they are wearing eyeglasses 

in existing passports will 

not be required to obtain new 

passports. 

The State Department says 

that in 2015, more than 200,000 

passport customers submitted 

poor quality photos which 

couldn’t be accepted. The main 

reason involved eyeglasses, which 

can cause glare on the lens, create 

shadows on faces or block a 

portion of the eyes. 

The agency is hoping that 

new passport photos taken without 

eyeglasses mean fewer delays 

in the application process and 

may help travelers move more 

quickly through U.S. ports of 

entry. Travelers may wear glasses 

if they have a medical issue, and 

can submit documentation along 

with their application. 

VNA Seeks Hospice Volunteers 

VNA Care, a non-profit organization 

serving patients with 

life-limiting illnesses and their 

families, seeks hospice volunteers 

to provide companionship 

to patients and respite time for 

family members. Volunteers 

are men and women who come 

from diverse backgrounds and 

range in age from 20’s to 80’s; 

the common bond is a desire to 

share time and compassion with 

others. A strong need exists for 

volunteers who are available during 

the day, are bilingual, or can 

provide pet or music therapy. No 

Galante’s 

previous experience is necessary. 

VNA Care provides training and 

ongoing support to all volunteers.

Millis-Castricum Exchange Program 2016 

By Madeline Pudelka & Elina 

Tavarez, MHS Class of 2019 

On September 16th, Millis 

High School welcomed eleven 

exchange students from the Netherlands 

for one week. The students 

had travelled eight hours from 

a school outside of Amsterdam 

to see what it is like to be a high 

schooler in the United States. Each 

student from the Netherlands was 

paired with someone from the 

United States, adding up to 22 kids 

involved in the program. 

The host students travelled to 

Boston on September 16 to welcome 

the Dutch students and later 

took them to see their first American 

football game. The following 

day, students met at the school 

for some bonding activities and 

a cookout. The students also met 

with Congressman Joseph Kennedy 

on Saturday. For the first 

few days of the school week, the 

Dutch students shadowed American 

students during classes and 

participated in different activities 

that their host students were involved 

in. 

Host families also had the opportunity 

to show the Dutch 

students some quintessential 

American activities, such as apple 

picking or going to a drive-in

The Millis Lions and Leos 

Join together to say “Thank You” to our Veterans 

On Veteran’s Day 2016 

Millis will honor our loved ones with a 

"Field of Flags" 

Displayed at our Town Hall. 

All monies raised will be donated to 

The Fisher House Boston 

Please join us in thanking our Veterans by buying a Flag 

Flags: $10 each 

Fisher House Boston cared for Retired Marine sergeant John Peck and his fiancé as John 

recovered from his double arm transplant this past summer. John’s story was featured on CBS 

on October 5, 2016. 

The Fisher House is a home away from home where our military families can stay while a loved 

one is receiving in house treatment at one of our medical centers. Any veteran or active military 

personnel, wartime or peacetime, is eligible to stay at the Fisher House. These homes are built 

on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. The homes enable family members to 

be close to loved ones at the most stressful times. There is at least one Fisher House at every 

major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with 

the comforts of home in a supportive environment. There is NO Charge for any family to stay at 

a Fisher House. 

Fisher House Boston was the 46th Fisher House to be built in the country. They recognize not 

only the special sacrifices made by our men and women who serve in uniform, but also their 

loved ones. The Millis Lions and Leos are proud to assist The Fisher House. We hope to display 

1000 Flags at the Town Hall commemorating our Veterans service. Please help support these 

men and women who have sacrificed so much by buying a flag in honor of, or in memory of, a 

loved one. Fisher House is a Four Star Charity, with an A+ rating.

RMV Guidebook 

Available to 

New Drivers 

and Families 

State Senator Richard Ross 

would like to announce that 

the Massachusetts Registry 

of Motor Vehicles (RMV) recently 

released a new guidebook 

to optimize the 40 hours 

of supervised driving that teens 

are required to complete under 

parental supervision before receiving 

their license. 

“Parents with teens who 

possess a Learner’s Permit will 

now have access to The Parent’s 

Supervised Driving Program. This 

guide is a useful tool that will 

improve safety and the driving 

experience for teens learning 

how to drive and their families,” 

said Senator Ross. 

The Parent’s Supervised Driving 

Program is of no cost to families 

or taxpayers. The guide will be 

mailed to the parents/guardians 

of all Learner’s Permit 

recipients within two to three 

weeks after a teen receiving 

his/her permit. The program 

contains information and lessons 

on driving basics, parental 

pointers, and licensing qualifications 

that are helpful to parents 

of new drivers.

Millis-Hopedale Grid Captain 

Crepeau Overcomes Injury, Leads in Classy Fashion 

By KEN HAMWEY 

Despite not playing his junior year due to injury, Gerry Crepeau 

was selected captain of his Millis Hopedale football team this year, 

impressing teammates with his dedication, leadership, hard work 

and faith. 

It’s unusual for a football 

player to miss an entire season, 

then be chosen as a captain. 

Hopedale’s Gerry Crepeau, 

who tore the anterior cruciate 

ligament in his left knee playing 

varsity lacrosse, missed his entire 

junior year of football. 

He may have been absent on 

the gridiron, but he was very visible 

on the sidelines for game day. 

He also attended all practices, 

team meetings, and film sessions. 

His commitment and devotion 

to the Millis-Hopedale program 

didn’t go unnoticed by his teammates. 

When it came time to 

choose captains for the 2016 season, 

Crepeau was selected. 

“I was honored and surprised,’’ 

he said. “We have so 

many good players and good 

leaders. To be chosen as a captain 

was very humbling, because 

I didn’t play one snap as a junior.’’ 

The 5-foot-10, 205-pound 

Crepeau seemed like he was well 

on his way to becoming an allstar 

lineman when he took over 

as a starting left tackle halfway 

through his soph season. His first 

start was dynamic. “I did well in 

a big win,’’ he recalled. “We were 

playing Dover-Sherborn and I 

blocked effectively and opened 

some holes. Two of our touchdowns 

were run off left tackle.’’ 

Crepeau started in Millis- 

Hopedale’s loss to Cohasset in 

the Sectional final in 2014 but 

that contest was his last competitive 

outing for awhile. Playing 

defense in a lacrosse match 

against St. Bernard’s, he stepped 

awkwardly and his knee buckled. 

“I just took a bad step, and 

my knee gave out,’’ he said. “I 

remember how sharp the pain 

was. I saw an orthopedic doctor 

and an MRI showed a torn ACL. 

Remember Last Winter? 

I had surgery a month later.’’ 

Crepeau’s rehab lasted 12 

months before he felt comfortable. 

After a brief time on 

crutches and wearing a brace, he 

endured some long, hard months 

of physical therapy. Weightlifting, 

range of motion exercises and 

running consumed much of his 

time. He was disappointed but he 

never was down and out. 

“I felt badly that I couldn’t 

contribute,’’ Crepeau said. “A 

few times, I questioned why the 

injury occurred, but I got over it, 

realizing that if I stayed positive, 

I’d return to football quicker. My 

main goal was to play my senior 

year.’’ 

Mission accomplished. 

Crepeau now starts at right 

guard on offense and he also 

competes at defensive tackle. 

His coach, Dana Olson, is a big 

fan of Crepeau’s work ethic and 

ability. “Gerry isn’t flashy,’’ Olson 

said. “He’s a lunch-pail type of 

kid who gets the job done. His 

technical skills are very good, he’s 

smart and he’s a quality leader.’’ 

Helping Millis-Hopedale 

compile a 4-2 record at Local 

Town Pages deadline, Crepeau 

relies on a variety of key attributes 

that make him extremely 

dependable. “My strengths are 

quickness, my work ethic, runblocking 

and technical skills — 

like the proper footwork and 

hand placement,’’ he noted. On 

defense, I rely on speed, lateral 

movement and pursuit. Mental 

toughness and knowing my assignments 

precisely can improve 

my play at guard, and getting 

stronger and being able to read 

and react are areas where I can 

be better on defense. I always try 

to be aggressive, which can offset 

any deficiency.’’ 

One of Crepeau’s team 

goals — winning the Tri Valley 

League Small Division crown — 

is close to being realized. He’s 

also focused on getting past the 

Sectional final. “We’ve lost three 

straight years in the Sectional 

final,’’ he said. “We can get to 

the Super Bowl and we can win 

it. That goal is realistic because 

we’ve got talent. We just can’t get 

overconfident.’’ 

Crepeau is also bullish on the 

Mohawks other captains — linebacker 

Jack Moriarity, two-way 

lineman Dan Fallon and wideout/defensive 

back P.J. Adams. 

“They work hard, they’re tough, 

they know how to finish plays 

and how to lead,’’ Crepeau emphasized. 

“We all try to be role 

models for younger players by 

doing the right thing.’’ 

Crepeau also has high praise 

for Olson. “He knows the game 

and he’s a terrific motivator,’’ 

Crepeau said. “He stresses work 

ethic, technique and physical 

toughness. He’s pushed me to be 

a better player.’’ 

Vice president of the National 

Honor Society, Crepeau is a 

straight-A student who plans on 

majoring in finance at a college 

like Northeastern or Bryant. As 

for football at the intercollegiate 

level, he’s “open-minded’’ about 

his future. 

One thing he’s sure of, however, 

is his competitive philosophy. 

He plays to win, to go all 

out in reaching his potential and 

to enjoy whatever sport he’s involved 

in. Crepeau has competed 

in track for four seasons in the 

shot put, and he’s had two seasons 

of lacrosse where he’s also 

been a captain. 

“Sports teach real-life lessons,’’ 

Crepeau noted. “You 

learn leadership and the value 

of teamwork. Athletics played a 

role in my rehab. Sports teach 

you how to overcome adversity 

and bounce back. 

Crepeau, who is a youth 

ministry leader at Sacred Heart 

Church in Hopedale, also credits 

strong faith for his successful 

return. “It plays a big role,’’ he 

said. “When you have faith, it 

helps you to react positively to 

difficult situations.’’ 

Gerry Crepeau isn’t a captain 

because he’s popular. He’s a captain 

for all the right reasons.

Cheerleader Turned Player - 

Kizzy Richardson Crosses the Gender Divide in Medway JV Football 

Growing up, Kismet (Kizzy) 

Richardson always dreamed 

about playing football, but being 

a girl, never thought about pursuing 

it. That is, until her mother 

brought it to her attention. 

“She had started to take part 

in cheerleading, but I soon began 

to notice that she wasn’t all that 

engaged in it, but seemed to be 

paying more attention to the football 

team that was practicing,” 

her mother Cheryl Richardson 

said. “So the next year, when she 

would allow me to play football,” 

she said. “My dad’s a huge 

(Green Bay) Packers fan having 

grown up in Wisconsin, and 

since I was born there, I feel like 

I should root for my home team 

too.” 

Richardson and her father 

would watch football together, 

and both were very competitive; 

this is where the love of football 

began to grow. In Killingly, she 

would begin her football career 

as a quarterback, but soon found 

the stepping stone for football 

to be allowed in the Richardson 

household. 

“Here, there were weight restrictions, 

so she played with her 

same size, but come her freshman 

year in high school, she 

really wanted to try out for the

was nine years old I asked her if 

she’d rather play football.” 

Richardson immediately took 

her mother’s suggestion and 

began playing for the Killingly 

Brookline Midgets in Connecticut, 

where they lived at the time, 

a program similar to Pop Warner 

in this area. 

“I love the game and never 

crossed my mind that my parents 

herself playing safety on the defensive 

side of the ball. After 

moving to Medway in the eighth 

grade, she continued to play 

safety, but her freshman coach 

(Broder) saw a quickness and 

ability in her, so he moved her to 

cornerback. 

Being the oldest of four siblings 

(two brothers and a sister) 

who all play football, Kizzy was

KIZZY 


when she came to us we couldn’t 

say no. My husband and I had 

raised our children to go after 

their dreams; we couldn’t stand 

in her way now.” 

Tryouts for the high school 

team began much before school 

would begin so Richardson 

would get to know her teammates 

before they were her classmates. 

“I was welcomed with open 

arms by the boys on the team. 

They realized that just because I 

was a girls didn’t mean I couldn’t 

play the game; once they knew I 

meant business on the field, they 

had my back,” she said. “By the 

time school eventually got underway, 

it was the team that was 

showing me around the school.” 

However, with a much smaller 

stature than the rest of her teammates, 

Richardson’s mother was 

not all that concerned with her 

daughter’s health on the field. 

“Of course I was worried, but 

Kizzy was a flyer in cheerleading,” 

she said. “I found it much 

harder to watch her get thrown 

around through the air as a 

cheerleader than run around on

Kizzy has similar feelings. 

“While playing football, I have 

complete control of the situation, 

and I have comfort in knowing 

that,” she said. “As a flyer 

in cheerleading, I was thrown 

through the air and hoped that 

my teammates would catch me 

before I hit the ground.” 

As a sophomore at Medway 

High School, Richardson is playing 

cornerback for the Junior 

Varsity team and although a female, 

she fits right in with the rest 

508-404-3184 

Web: www.slppainting.com 

E-mail: slppainting@yahoo.com 

of the team, playing just as physical 

as they do. 

JV Defensive Coordinator 

Farren Davis got to know what 

Richardson was like before seeing 

her at tryouts. 

“I run the summer strength 

and conditioning program for 

the high school, so I got to work 

with Kismet before the season. 

That was a huge advantage seeing 

the work that she put in and 

the pride she took in it,” Davis 

said. “Besides her height and 

weight, she’s right there with the 

rest of the team.” 

According to Davis, Richardson 

sees a lot of action on the 

field; she’s a very consistent and 

one of the squad’s top corners 

and knows the game and its coverages. 

Other than being on the 

smaller side, she’s got all the tools 

to be a top corner in the Tri-Valley 

League. 

“I think other teams definitely 

come after me, but I think it’s 

more strategic than anything 

else,” Richardson said. “They 

would send their super tall receivers 

my way hoping to succeed in 

a big way, but when I hold my 

own at 5’2” they think twice 

about throwing my way again.” 

With still two years of eligibility 

left to play football for the 

high school, Richardson would 

love nothing more than to make 

the varsity team. 

“I know that I’m never going 

to be playing football in college, 

but my goal is to make the varsity 

team before I graduate,” she said. 

“If I never do get to the varsity 

team, I’ll be fine with that; the jv 

and varsity practice together with 

the only difference being the actual 

games; so I’m kind of on the 

varsity team.” 

Coach Davis knows she has 

the ability and the knowledge to 

play on the varsity, she just needs 

the size. 

“She knows the game and 

what has to be done, no doubt 

about it,” Davis said. “The only 

thing holding her back is her 

height. She’s fast and pays attention 

to details, and sometimes we 

forget that we have a her on our 

team. The only thing that would 

hold her back from getting to the 

varsity team would be a lack of 

growth.” 

At this point in her life, Richardson 

has adjusted her skill set 

so that the opposition’s athletes 

don’t make her look foolish on 

the field. 

“I may be smaller, but my 

speed helps to stay with them,” 

she said. “I just watch their hips 

and legs and know where they 

are going from there. Once I 

know their movement, I take out 

their legs, no matter how much 

taller you are, you can’t run without 

your legs.” 

Being able to run onto the 

field as a varsity Mustang football 

player may be her ultimate goal 

as far as football is concerned, 

but she’s already accomplished 

much more than she probably 

ever thought that she would. 

“It’s amazing that my mother 

would allow me to play football. 

I should have seen it growing up 

in the things she would say, but 

since there were no weight restrictions 

I knew I couldn’t play,” 

she said. “If you told the younger 

me that as a sophomore I’d be 

playing high school football, I’d 

say you were a liar, but here we 

are.”

WRITTEN TO LAINA KAPLAN FROM A MEDWAY CLIENT: 

Working with Laina was a wonderful experience. She is very 

knowledgeable in all aspects of buying and selling a home 

and really goes above and beyond offering home staging 

and professional photography at no additional fee. Although 

she has many clients we sure felt like we were the only ones. 

Laina came to every meeting, inspection, showing and even 

continued communicating with us when she on her own 

summer vacation. She is professional, laid back and so easy 

to work with. We were able to buy our new house and sell our 

old one in the span of about three months. We feel truly lucky 

to have worked with such a great agent. Thank You Laina!!!!
