Millis Girls’ Soccer 

Captures Division 4 

State Championship 

By Christopher Tremblay 

The Millis girls’ soccer team 

opened the season with a tie 

and a loss and suddenly found 

themselves in a hole at 0-1-1, but 

instead of feeling sorry for themselves, 

the Mohawks buckled 

down and went on a roll that saw 

the team finish 12-2-2 during the 

With a 1-0 win over Millbury, the 

Millis Girls’ soccer took home the

The Town of 

Medway Purchases 

the Ide House 

Site to Become Medway Historical 

Society Museum Next Fall 

At the Medway Fall Town 

Meeting on November 13, 

2017, the town of Medway 

voted to use $525,000 in Community 

Preservation Funds to 

purchase the historic “Jacob 

Ide” house and its 1.41 acres 

of land, at 158 Main Street, 

Medway. 

In an impassioned statement, 

Sheila Dubrawski, 

President of the Medway 

Historical Society, called 

well-preserved Ide House a 

“vital part of Medway’s history.” 

Dubrawski continued 

that, “The Historic Society 

has outgrown its building.” In 

a response to resident Dawn 

Williams, she explained that 

the Historical Society would 

like to work with Medway to 

have the Ide House become 

the group’s new headquarters. 

Following the meeting, 

Dubrawski told Local Town 

Pages, “We are expecting to 

manage the house as the Medway 

Historical Society Museum 

beginning next fall. Being 

near the park and right on 

Main Street will provide great 

visibility to promote programs 

and events.” 

THE IDE HOUSE 


Groundbreaking 

for Millis 

Elementary 

School 

December 8th 

By J.D. O’Gara 

It’s official. A new elementary 

school will indeed be built in Millis. 

And it will officially begin on 

December 8th, with a groundbreaking 

ceremony at 9:30 a.m. 

At the fall town meeting on 

November 6, 2017, after facing 

legal challenges both to the 

location and to the process of 

the original passing vote at the 

Spring 2017 Town Meeting, the 

town of Millis once again put the 

question of a $51.8 million override 

to build the new school to 

the town, and voters overwhelmingly, 

again, approved the measure, 

442-21. 

“I just am so grateful for 

all the hard work of the town 

boards, the Elementary School

CHAMPIONSHIP 

continued from page 1 

“Coming into the season, 

I never thought that we’d accomplish 

this. I do set high 

expectations, but I was hoping 

to go .500 in the league and 

make the tournament,” Mohawk 

Coach Steve Bailen said. 

“After those first two games, 

the girls rallied to come together. 

I hold them accountable, 

and they don’t take the 

criticism personal, they know 

it’s there to help them improve.” 

Having only lost three seniors 

from last year 11-5-4 

team Bailen had 11 returning 

starters taking to the field 

with experience this fall; none 

bigger than the team’s tri-captains. 

Defender Julia Krauss, 

striker Kaylee Francis and 

midfielder Taylor Davis made 

sure they delivered the Coach’s 

words of wisdom to the rest of 

the team. 

“As Coaches, we had to 

scout out our games and put 

together a strategy,” Bailen 

said. “The girls took to the 

field, put that plan in motion 

and executed it, while not always 

to perfection, it was good 

enough to win.” 

As the number two seed in 

the Division 4 South Tournament 

the Mohawks defeated 

Rising Tide 8-0, Cohasset 3-0 

and Coyle and Cassidy 4-0 to 

take home the Championship. 

Millis then went on to outlast 

Amesbury in overtime 2-1 

and Millbury 1-0 for the State 

Title. With nothing going 

on in the first half Francis 

knocked home a Jordyn Ferrantino 

rebound in the very 

early minutes of the second 

half to give Millis the eventual 

victory. It was Millis’ first State 

Championship since 1999, 

when Olivia Zitoli (now the 

team’s Assistant Coach) was 

on the squad. 

Throughout the regular 

season in the TVL, Millis plays 

a majority of Division 2 and 3 

teams, which helps prepare 

them for Division 4 tournament 

play. As the Mohawks 

took to the post-season the 

team played their up-tempo 

style while using their speed, 

tenacity and high energy from 

start to finish. 

“We came in not only focused 

but with a high degree 

of confidence,” the coach said. 

“I always tell them you’re only 

as good as your last win; you 

can’t assume anything.” 

Being able to bring Millis 

another State Championship 

was a great feeling for the girls’ 

soccer team, but the Coach believes 

it goes further than that. 

“The Championship was 

an uplifting experience, not 

only for the soccer team, but 

for the entire girls’ programs 

at the Millis High School. It 

shows there is light at the end 

of the tunnel,” Bailen said. 

“This builds a lot of momentum 

and enthusiasm with the 

Millis Soccer Club as well as 

town support and that of the 

school.” 

THE IDE HOUSE 


Dr. Ide, ordained in 1814 

and married to Mary Emmons, 

daughter of Dr. Nathanial Emmons 

of Franklin a year later, 

moved into the newly built house 

in 1816. Eleven of their children 

were born there, five of whom 

died in infancy. Dr. Ide served on 

the Medway School Committee 

until the 1850s and became the 

first librarian of the West Parish 

Library at the Parish House. 

Friendly to slaves, he trained 40 

men for the ministry, including 

his son-in-law Charles Torrey, 

who became active in the Underground 

Railroad. 

Dubrawski says the Historical 

Society would like the Ide House 

to be open at least once per week, 

and they hope to host a Holiday 

Open House in 2018, where 

teams of volunteers decorate particular 

locations in the house. The 

group recently purchased cataloging 

software and will work to get 

all items into its new Past Perfect 

museum software. Displays would 

be enhanced by standard labeling 

on all items, she says, with a scanner 

ready to go. Volunteers will 

be needed. 

“There is lots to be done, and 

we are very excited and thankful 

for the opportunity to make Medway’s 

history central to the community,” 

says Dubrawski, who 

joined the group by simply helping 

out with a newsletter in 2013. 

“Everyone is welcome. No special 

qualifications needed. And 

if you love history and Medway, 

you are guaranteed to enjoy the 

experience. 

The Jacob Ide house is now the property of the Town of Medway, thanks 

to voters at the Fall 2017 Town Meeting. The site, purchased with CPA 

funds for $525,000, is slated to become the new headquarters for the 

Medway Historical Society. 

For more information on the 

Medway Historical Society email 

info@medwayhistoricalsociety.org. 

In addition to the purchase of 

the Ide House, Medway voters at 

the Fall Town meeting voted to 

purchase the building and 12.497 

acres of land at 123 Holliston 

Street, the current site of the 

V.F.W. With membership declining, 

Dennis Crowley explained to 

voters, the V.F.W. can no longer 

afford to maintain the property 

and would likely sell the property. 

The town’s purchase of the 

property would avoid any future 

unfriendly 40B projects on the 

site, allow the V.F.W. to rent the 

building for three years at no cost 

and renegotiate the lease after

project was supplemented 

by a vote for an additional $2

Building Committee, and especially 

Wayne Klocko as Chair,” 

says Diane Germain, Vice Chair 

of the Elementary School Board 

Committee. “It really brought everyone 

together, to make sure this 

proceeded, and we are thrilled.” 

Germain says an early site 

package was approved by the 

Millis Selectmen, and construction 

and site work began on 

November 16th. Members of 

the project team include Tappé 

Architects, Agostini-Bacon Construction 

and Compass Project 

Management. According to the 

project website, at www.millisschoolproject.org, 

the design 

team will continue to develop the 

final plans for the project and the 

completed construction contract, 

with all subcontractor bids is anticipated 

to be approved in late 

February, 2018.

town website and the school 

website, and on Facebook,” says 

Germain. “We’re also going to 

start filming whenever we can.” 

The first “Look-Ahead” noted 

that, at the end of the project, 

160 trees would be planted as 

part of the landscaping plan. 

The new Clyde Brown Elementary 

School move in date 

will be September 2019, says 

Germain, a time focused on to 

ease transition for the students. 

Millis Superintendent Nancy 

Gustafson is also excited to see 

the project moving ahead. 

“It’s exciting,” she says. “The 

ground-breaking is just a nice 

way to celebrate the town coming 

together to do something 

great for the children.” Gustafson 

says the children will be involved 

in the ceremony, as the second 

graders will be the first fifth grade 

class in the building. “The first 

step was ordering the little plastic 

hardhats for them,” she says. 

Clyde Brown principal Jason 

Phelps is working with teachers 

to make children’s participation 

in the groundbreaking a learning 

experience. 

“He’d like to have kids learn 

something from the ceremony 

about civic engagement and 

the workings of government on 

a local level, and also, they’ll be 

watching the construction process, 

so they’ll be learning a lot 

that way as well,” says Gustafson. 

With the construction site 

fencing off the existing playground, 

Phelps has purchased 

a few materials to construct a 

“peaceful playground,” and he is 

also working to develop alternate 

physical activities that can take 

place on the fields, according to 

the Superintendent. In addition 

to some structured activities for 

recess times, says Gustafson, the 

goal is for kids to also have some 

free, creative play. “We’re brainstorming 

what that will look 

like,” she says. Weather permitting, 

that may include snow play, 

and “we’ll be teaching kids some 

traditional games and providing 

simple equipment, such as cones 

and jump ropes, so they can create 

obstacle courses – all those 

creative things where people will 

develop and make sure kids are 

not just standing around during 

recesses.

and this sums up our mission. In 

our tenth year, we are providing 

students with the opportunity to 

explore dance on a variety of levels. 

First, we provide free classes 

for students of all abilities and 

interest levels. These classes serve 

to expose students to a variety 

of dance styles and allow them 

the opportunity to develop their 

skills. Many of our participants 

have not taken formal dance, 

and we want to provide them a 

safe and fun environment to explore 

the dancing arts. Second, 

we work to find existing and/ 

or create our own performance 

opportunities in dance for our 

members. Finally, as we grow our 

organization we plan on adding 

dance theory, history, and choreography 

to our repertoire. 

This production is our primary 

source of fundraising for 

our yearly programming, If you

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 is a thick fluid 

which 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 retina, which 

is the light sensitive nerve tissue 

layer that lines the back surface 

of the wall 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 

Flipside Gymnastics

Camps/Clinincs • Open Gym • Dance/Gym Combo 

Extreme Night Parties • Birthday Parties 

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 a 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. 

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 

we use state-of-the-art laser 

technology to treat a variety of 

eye problems, including retinal 

tears with full evaluation of 

flashes and floaters. When those 

are associated with a retinal tear, 

we have in our practice a dedicated 

retina specialist specializing 

in the treatment of retinal 

eye disease. Our retina specialist 

is an internationally known expert 

in his filed, and is on staff at 

Harvard Medical School. We are 

the area’s leading eye care practice, 

and we continue to bring 

you world class eye care closer to 

home.

Gingerbread Festival at Medway Public Library 

Friends of the Medway Library 

will hold its annual Gingerbread 

Festival on Saturday, 

December 16th in the library’s 

Cole Room. Children of all ages 

are invited to show off their creativity 

by decorating their very 

own mini gingerbread houses. 

Admission is one bag of candy 

to share. 

There will be two sessions, 

each limited to 65 children. Sign 

up for the 10 a.m. or the 11:30 

a.m. time slots online via the 

Medway Library website. Space 

is limited for this very popular 

event, but a waiting list will be 

available. 

Last year, the Cole Room was 

full of children having a wonderful 

time creating colorful houses 

using a wide range of candies, 

ranging from licorice to snowcaps, 

gumdrops to candy canes, 

chocolate to peppermints. The 

biggest challenge is to avoid eating 

the decorations. 

During December, be sure to 

visit the special Friends of the 

Medway Library Ongoing Sale 

opposite the circulation desk. 

There are “like-new” books and 

games for adults and children, 

including special holiday cookbooks, 

craft books/kits, all perfect 

for gifts. Items are added almost 

every day. And be on the lookout 

for the Winter Beach Reads Cart 

beginning January.

2017, the Charles River Chorale 

will present its 33rd annual 

winter holiday concert at Medway 

High School starting at 7:30

Fortin, assistant music director 

and accompanist, the chorale 

will perform both classic and 

contemporary choral music in 

celebration of the season. 

This year’s concert features 

songs that highlight various aspects 

of awakening, such as 

Longfellow’s poem used in “I 

Heard the Bells on Christmas 

Day” and Joseph Martin’s “The 

Awakening.” The chorale will 

also perform holiday favorites 

of the same message with an 

ode to the Nutcracker Suite and 

Frozen’s grammy award winning 

“Let it Go.” 

The Children’s Choir, directed 

by Lelia Tenreyro and accompanied 

by Everard Huggins, 

will perform several merry holiday 

tunes and will lead the traditional 

sing-along where audience 

participation is a must. 

All are invited to attend a 

small reception following the 

performance. 

Ticket prices at the door are 

$18 for adults, $15 for seniors 

and full-time students, and $10 

for children under 12. A special 

family-of-four price of $50 is 

available for two adults and two 

dependent children. 

The Chorale draws membership 

from throughout the Charles 

River Valley, and performs two 

major concerts per year. It is 

available for other events as well. 

The group hopes to continue to 

expand its membership, audience 

reach, skills, and repertory 

for many years to come. For

You Can Be Part of the Christmas Bird Count! 

Millis Circle to Bird, Gather Data on 

December 16th for National Audubon Effort 


It’s been a tradition for 118 

years, 47 years in this area, and 

you can join in! For over a century, 

the National Audubon 

Society has conducted the annual 

“Christmas Bird Count” to 

gather information about bird 

species populations. 

“It started in New York City, 

and is now in this hemisphere 

from Canada and Alaska all the 

way down to the tip of South 

America,” says Elissa Landre, Director 

of Massachusetts Audubon 

Society’s Broadmoor Sanctuary 

at 280 Eliot Street, Natick. The 

“Millis Circle Count,” she says 

will take place in the 24-hour period 

of Saturday, December 16th. 

“The circle I compile for is 

centered in Millis, Mass.,” says 

Landre. “Each circle is 15 miles 

in diameter.” The Millis Circle 

includes such towns as Holliston, 

Norfolk, Wrentham, Franklin, 

Millis, Medfield, Medway, Sherborn 

and Hopkinton—just a 

handful in the radius. 

“The intent is to count every 

bird you can within each circle 

during a 24-hour period,” says 

Landre. Starting at midnight on 

Saturday the 16th and going to 

11:59 p.m. the evening of the 

16th, novice ornithologists in 

those areas, both in teams led by 

captains at certain locations in the 

area or right in their own backyards, 

keep a tally of every bird, 

reporting the largest group of one 

type of bird that they see at one 

time. 

“It started in 1972 in Millis,” 

says Landre, who heads up the 

team in Holliston. She says anyone 

can volunteer to participate 

in the count. She assigns team 

leaders, such as Jack Lash, of 

Franklin, who will be bringing 

students out in the field in that 

area this year, and Skipper Farwell, 

of Norfolk, who heads up a 

team at MCI Norfolk. 

“I assign people, says Landre. 

“They get in touch with me 

through the Mass Audubon website 

(www.massaudubon.org) and 

let me know, so I can cover as 

many areas as possible. There are 

some groups that go out for owls 

in the predawn hours of Saturday 

morning, and others start closer 

to seven. I start at Broadmoor 

and bird for a couple hours here, 

then head to Sherborn and Holliston.” 

Landre says folks can just bird 

at their feeders for a minimum of 

15 minutes. 

“You count, for example, every 

chickadee you see at one point in 

time. If people feed birds and 

want to keep track of what they 

see and report that, that would 

be great,” she says.” You’re going 

to count only the maximum 

number of birds you see at any 

one time of the same species for 

a minimum of 15 minutes. The 

point is to try not to double count, 

although that even happens in the 

field.” 

The group later gathers at 

Broadmoor for soup and a wrapup, 

with sector leaders report 

what they’ve seen. Landre submits 

the data to the national level. 

Over the long period of time 

the count has taken place, trends 

and changes in bird populations 

have become evident. 

“Any one year will give you a 

snapshot, but it won’t give you 

enough data to look at trends. 

If you look over a longer period 

of time, you see trends, and you 

have to ask yourself why.” 

Some of the changes, for example, 

have been a dip in scavenger 

species such as herring gulls 

and fish crows. 

“We think we know why,” says 

Landre. In early years, when the 

Christmas Bird Count first began 

in the area, there were many 

open dumps. “All those gulls and 

crows ended up at the dumps.” 

Nowadays, these areas have been 

turned into recycling centers and 

treatment facilities, so the scavengers 

moved on. 

Another change, says Landre, 

is an increase in some species not 

seen here in the 1970s or 1980s. 

“The Carolina Wren is moving 

up from the south, and so is 

the red-bellied woodpecker,” she 

says. “Milder winters could make 

it easier for them to survive.” 

Loss of habitat has decimated 

other bird populations in 

the area, such as the American 

Kestrel, and hairy woodpeckers 

have given way to more downy 

woodpeckers. Similarly, food 

sources play a role, as with blue 

jays, which increase or decline

in population with the increase 

or decline in acorn production, 

something that can be affected by 

gypsy moths. 

Each year, about 40-45 people 

take place in the Millis Circle of 

the Christmas Bird Count, but 

there is always room for more. 

“It’s fun for people who are 

hardy,” says Landre. “I will find 

a place for anybody that wants to 

do it. The more eyes out there, 

the better the count. A family 

could bird their back yard if they 

wanted to.” 

As coordinator, Landre works 

to make sure no two groups are 

counting the same birds, so she 

asks anyone interested to contact 

her before taking part.

part of the Christmas Bird 

Count on December 16th, email

found the mitten and thought it 

made a nice, cozy home. The animals 

did not want to give the mitten

Medway Civil War 

Vets Honored with 

Headstones 

On Saturday, November 

11th, the Medway Historical 

Society and the 13th Massachusetts 

Volunteer Infantry Honor 

Guard executed a Civil War reenactment 

of a twenty-one gun 

salute to consecrate the headstones 

of six Civil War Veterans 

that were recently identified in a 

mass grave. Henry Dain, Egbert 

Hixon, Albert Houghton, Lewis 

Miller, George Read, and John 

Treen and the other 65 Civil War 

Veterans interred in Oakland 

Cemetery were honored this year 

on Veterans Day.

Dear Editor: 

Thank you for your coverage 

of the Medway Historical 

Commission’s project to identify 

and mark the gravesite of 

six Medway soldiers who died 

during or following their service 

in the Civil War and who were 

buried at Oakland Cemetery in 

an unmarked mass grave. The 

project culminated in a touching 

ceremony at the gravesite last 

Saturday, Veterans’ Day, which 

was very well-attended and 

certainly a credit to the Town 

of Medway and all those who 

worked so hard for several years 

to see the project through to its 

fruition. 

I would like to share a history 

of how it came to be and 

give proper credit to Medway 

Historical Commission member 

Paul Russell. When former 

Commission member Mark 

Wilcox, who initially discovered 

in 2013 that this unmarked 

gravesite existed and who consulted 

with author and Civil 

War historian Tom Ellis about 

getting it marked, had to leave 

the Commission, Paul Russell 

was determined to carry on the 

project. The Oakland Cemetery 

groundskeeper/custodian, 

Bill McLaughlin, located an 

old map of the cemetery which 

showed the soldiers’ names: 

Henry Dain, Egbert O. Hixon, 

Albert C. Houghton, Louis S. 

Miller, George H. Reade, and 

John S. Treen. 

Having found the names, 

Mr. Russell then researched the 

backgrounds of the veterans, 

consulting the Massachusetts 

and Ohio Adjutant Generals’ 

records from the Civil War, 

along with Jameson’s History of 

Medway up to 1885, and other 

sources. With this information 

in hand, he submitted the necessary 

forms to obtain six engraved 

stones at no cost from 

the Department of Veterans Affairs; 

the stones were delivered 

last winter. In the spring, he arranged 

for trenches to be dug, 

footings poured, and the stones 

set, all the work performed by 

companies which volunteered 

their time and materials: Jefferson 

C. Bailey Masonry and Kai 

Nalenz (Gravestone Services of 

New England). The Community 

Preservation Committee 

approved Mr. Russell’s request 

to purchase a flagpole, and 

Oakland Cemetery’s caretaker, 

Roger Cummings, contributed 

the flag and arranged for landscaping. 

This accomplished, Mr. 

Russell asked Mr. Ellis to help 

organize a dedication ceremony, 

which he did. Mr. Ellis 

contacted the 13th Massachusetts 

Volunteer Infantry Honor 

Guard, who came in full period 

costume, marched into the 

cemetery, and offered a 21-gun 

salute. Mr. Ellis also invited 

trumpeter Samuel Jacobs, from 

Medway High School, to play 

Taps to end the ceremony. 

Historical Society President 

Sheila Dubrawski acted as Master 

of Ceremonies for the event 

and pulled it all together. Once 

again, thank you to everyone 

who contributed to making this 

happen, and thank you for covering 

this tribute to these six 

Civil War veterans. 

Sincerely yours, 

Jeanne Johnson 

Chairman, Medway Historical 

Commission

Charles Ladies’ Golf League Says Final Farewell 


When the Toll Brothers move 

forward with their plan for a 

324-unit senior residential community 

on the 230-acre parcel 

on which the Glen Ellen Country 

Club has sat for 54 years, another 

era will have ended – that of the 

Charles Ladies’ Golf League. 

The group of 40 women, including 

eight “subs,” who played 

every Wednesday afternoon, met 

for a final farewell in late October 

with a dinner at Restaurant 

45 in Medway. 

The League was established 

in 1976, when Mary Ariel, a 

local golfer, and Dan Cross, the 

pro at Glen Ellen Country Club, 

invited the wives and friends of 

the Charles Men’s League to 

join the afternoon league, which 

started at 3:15 p.m. with foursomes 

playing into the evening. 

The women were offered the use 

of The Charles Restaurant as an 

“after golf ” location, and Don 

Cross donated fifty cents of his 

$3 greens fee for each member 

who wanted to learn to play golf. 

Sue Locklin, who’s lived in 

Millis since 1960, found the ladies’ 

golf league after the premature 

passing of her husband, 

then the Chief of Police in Millis. 

“I wanted to do something 

different, that we didn’t do together,” 

says Locklin. She asked 

her friend Janet Walsh, then a 

school secretary for the Clyde 

Brown Elementary School, if 

she’d be interested in taking golf 

lessons through the Millis Recreation 

Department. Once they 

learned, she says, “we wanted to 

join the league, and they were 

happy to have us.” 

“They were so nice to us, 

patient, and we were swinging 

and swinging, and sometimes, it 

would take 16 shots to get to the 

hole,” says Walsh. 

The golf league was a blessing 

to the women, who’d grown up 

viewing the sport as male dominated, 

as well as one only wealthy 

Shown are the last members of the Charles Ladies’ Golf League, who 

bid their final farewells to their afternoon group at Restaurant 45 in 

Medway. The group will dissolve with the planned development at the 

location of the Glen Ellen Country Club in Millis. 

people played. 

“It was something to look 

forward to. It was outside; it was 

good exercise, and there were 

some wonderful people, and the 

older people and the younger 

people intermixing – I think it 

keeps everybody younger,” says 

Locklin. 

Walsh equates losing the golf 

league to losing a good friend. 

“I joined the League in 1983 

and consider my golf days some 

of the very best times of my life,” 

says Walsh, who always kept 

Wednesday, golf day, sacred, 

missing it only for family events 

or medical problems. “Golfers 

are a fun group to spend time 

with. Yes, we are competitive, but 

half the time during a game, we 

root for our opponent with ‘good 

shot,’ or ‘great putt.’ I am so glad 

I have had the camaraderie of 

my golf friends over the years.” 

“I wouldn’t have met all these 

wonderful women if I hadn’t 

joined,” says Pat Diatelevi, of 

Millis, who has been a member 

of the Charles Ladies’ Golf 

League since 1986. “I’ve made 

many friends, and I’m just so sad 

that it’s not going to happen anymore.” 

Kim Latosek, of Millis, whose 

father played in the men’s league, 

says she always appreciated that 

the group matched players of 

certain ability. Mary O’Leary, a 

30-year member from Medway, 

agrees. “I learned how to play 

golf at Glen Ellen. I went from a 

D, to a C, to a B, to an A, and at 

83, I’m back to a D,” she laughs. 

“I like the friendships and the attitude 

of the group. No matter 

what level, you’re accepted.” 

Even the newest players, like 

Wendy Barry, who just joined as 

a sub this year, speak to the camaraderie. 

“This is my first year, 

and last. They took me under 

their wing,” says Barry, of Millis, 

who heard about the league 

through friends Val Hughes and 

Kelly O’Brien, of Holliston. 

“I can’t say enough about the 

league,” says Holliston resident 

Photo courtesy of Charles Ladies’ Golf League 

Joyce Schiff, whose house is just 

two miles from the Glen Ellen. 

“There are ladies in their 80s 

and ladies in their 30s and 40s, 

and it’s like they’ve known you 

forever. I’m very sad Glen Ellen 

is going away.” 

Mary Lucey, formerly of Millis 

and now of Medfield, adds, 

“It’s all about the peeps. I can 

join any league, but it’s not the 

Charles Ladies Golf League.” 

Some of the group will continue 

getting together as foursomes, 

making tee times at 

other golf courses such a Brookmeadow 

Country Club in Canton. 

Some of the older members, 

however, who don’t feel like doing 

the 40-minute drive home in the 

dark, will stop playing altogether. 

And it’s something they’ll 

surely miss. 

“Glen Ellen, it’s beautiful out 

there. All the years we played, the 

fairways have been kept up - just 

gorgeous,” says Walsh. “To think 

they’re going to tear it down and 

put housing up there is a little 

hard to understand.”

Millis Returns to Super Bowl 


For the second straight year, 

Millis took a trip to the Super 

Bowl. Millis finished the season 

10-1 (5-0 in league play) and 

earned themselves a spot in the 

Division 8 South Tournament 

where they defeated three top 

notch teams to get the chance to 

play for the Super Bowl Championship. 

In getting to the Championship 

game, Millis took out West 

Bridgewater 49-20; the number 

two seed and undefeated, St. 

John Paul II 42-14 and Wareham, 

the number one seed, 

31-18 before heading to the 

State Tournament, where they 

defeated Cathedral (9-1) 40-22 

in the Semi Finals. 

“Coming into the season we 

didn’t expect to repeat, but we 

felt we had a pretty good group 

of athletes coming back having 

only graduated a few players 

from last year’s Super Bowl 

team,” Coach Dana Olson said. 

“You not only have to play well, 

but you have to have your ducks 

in a row and the ball also has to 

bounce your way too.” 

The season opened on September 

8 with a 24-7 loss to 

Holliston, Millis’ only loss of the 

season, but despite the loss Olson 

saw the good from that game. 

“If you rewind back to that 

first game against Holliston, I 

felt that we played a really good 

game, but we had a couple of 

bounces that didn’t go our way,” 

the coach said. “Since then, we 

consistently continued to get better 

as the year went along, and I 

think that we’re playing our best 

football at this point.” 

Having grabbed their first 

Super Bowl victory since 1999 

last fall, Millis came in well prepared 

and ready to make a run 

at returning to the title game. 

Throughout the season Millis, 

who plays in the Tri-Valley 

League, went up against schools 

two and three times their size but 

once they got into the tournament 

they were playing at their 

weight class. 

Millis possess a double threat 

in the arm of senior quarterback 

Bryce Latosek and the legs of 

tailback Kurt Hopkins. Against 

West Bridgewater Latosek went 

17-18 on his passes with five 

touchdowns, the next game Millis 

was given the run and took it; 

Cathedral opted to defend Hopkins, 

who only gained 60 yards 

on 17 carries. 

While Hopkins was held in 

check, Latosek took through the 

air and posted 379 yards and four 

touchdowns en route to the victory 

and Millis’ second straight 

trip to the Super Bowl. On the 

third play of the game, the Millis 

quarterback hit senior Dom Zonfrelli 

for a 72-yard touchdown 

pass. The two hooked up early 

in the second quarter and Millis 

had themselves a 16-0 lead and 

would put up 33 points before 

the half came to an end. 

At the time of Local Town Pages 

publication, Millis was set to play 

Hoosac Valley, who put a beating 

on Nashoba Tech 76-34, at Gillette 

Stadium the first weekend 

of December. While the team 

is enthusiastic about playing at 

Gillette, the coach feels that last 

year’s venue at Worcester State 

was better suited for the squad. 

“The kids are excited, but 

in Worcester you have 5,000 

fans, and you can hear them, 

I’m not sure you’re going to get 

the same type of volume with 

5,000 at Gillette,” Olson said. 

Local Town Pages will follow up 

with the game results in our next 

issue.

Medway’s Childs Gets 

Scholarship to Play 

Basketball at BU 

Sports 

By Ken Hamwey, 

Staff Sports Writer 

The future is in clear focus for 

Riley Childs. 

Medway High’s talented offguard, 

who was a first-team Tri 

Valley League all-star last year, 

has verbally committed to play 

basketball at Boston University 

after she completes her senior 

season for the Mustangs. 

The 5-foot-11 Childs averaged 

17 points, 8 rebounds and 

3 assists last year when Medway 

posted a 14-8 record and split a 

pair of playoff games. A threesport 

athlete, she’s been an outside 

hitter in volleyball for four 

years and she also has posted 

some impressive numbers in outdoor 

track. She holds the school 

record in the shot put (33 feet, 

1 inch) and she’s only 11 inches 

away from tying the school record 

in the discus, which is 119-8. 

“I’m thrilled about getting a 

full scholarship to Boston University,’’ 

Childs said. “I like the 

city, and all the coaches and players 

were great to be around when 

I visited. It’s a situation that just 

feels right. I’ve verbally committed, 

and I’m just waiting now for 

final acceptance.’’ 

The Terriers head coach, 

Katy Steading, did most of the 

scouting on Childs. But, it was at 

a BU camp for potential recruits, 

where Childs impressed Steading. 

“She saw me the summer 

before my junior year,’’ Childs 

said. “And, she also saw me play 

several other times. Schools like 

Holy Cross, Lehigh and Bucknell 

also showed interest, but I 

selected BU after they offered me 

a scholarship.’’ 

Childs said that Steading was 

optimistic about her addition to 

the Terrier squad but made no 

promises about her role. “She 

said I’d have to earn my playing 

time, and that’s the way it should 

be,’’ Childs said. 

A native of Medway, Childs, 

who is 330 points away from 

reaching 1,000 career points 

at Medway, has a variety of 

strengths. She’s quick, has a high 

basketball IQ, her court vision 

is excellent, she penetrates to 

the basketball and her release is 

quick and high. She has a wing 

span of six feet, an attribute that 

makes her a threat on defense. 

“I like to drive to the hoop 

for a layup or a pull-up jumper,’’ 

Childs emphasized. “I’m a fair 

three-point shooter, but I need to 

improve in that area. Although I 

consider myself as a dependable 

defender, I can be better on steals 

and deflections.’’ 

Joe Iannone, Childs’ coach at 

Medway, calls her the most versatile 

player he’s coached in his 

nine years on the job. “Riley can 

play point guard or center,’’ he 

said. “We use her wherever we 

need to. She can score inside or 

on the perimeter. She was our 

top rebounder last year, and she’s 

a very good passer who has great 

court vision.’’ 

Two of Childs’ best games 

came last year at Norton and 

against at Medway when the 

Mustangs faced Nashoba in the 

first round of the tourney.

“I hit five of six three-pointers 

against Norton and finished with 

23 points,’’ she recalled. “I also 

played a strong game on defense 

in the victory. Against Nashoba, 

the atmosphere was exciting because 

it was a playoff game at our 

gym. There were lots of friends 

and relatives on hand. We won, 

but what was nice was that everyone 

played a solid overall game.’’ 

Childs was a captain in volleyball 

this season and she’s been 

selected by her teammates and 

coach to be a captain in basketball. 

“I’m a vocal kind of captain,’’ 

she noted. “I’ll also try to 

lead by example, and if a younger 

play needs help or advice, I’ll be 

more than glad to assist.’’ 

With her future in college assured, 

Childs hasn’t lost sight of 

the year ahead for Medway. Her 

goal is to make it four straight 

years of qualifying for the tourney. 

“We’ll have to work hard, 

because we’re a young team,’’ she 

said. “But, it’s realistic, because 

we’ve got girls with a strong work 

ethic who compete hard against 

Tri Valley League teams.’’ 

Childs points to Medway’s 

other captain, Meg Downing, 

and freshman Lauren Beach, as 

quality players. She’s also bullish 

on the job Joe Iannone does 

as the team’s coach. “Meg and 

I have played basketball since 

the sixth grade,’’ Childs said. 

“A point guard who’s a strong 

defender, she’s also an excellent 

passer. Lauren has height, 

is a threat inside and she can 

rebound. Coach Iannone is a 

Riley Childs is a top-notch student-athlete who should have another 

terrific season of basketball for the Mustangs before her career at 

BU begins.

competitive guy who is a great 

motivator and communicator.’’ 

An honor-roll student, Childs 

plans on majoring in broadcast 

journalism at BU. Acutely aware 

that there’ll be a transition period 

going from high school all-star to 

Division 1 rookie, Childs knows 

where she’ll have to improve. 

“My overall game will need to 

get better, but I also know I need 

to get stronger and faster,’’ she 

said. “I’ll be focusing on weight 

training a lot.’’ 

Childs relies on a competitive 

philosophy that stresses being the 

best she can be in her specific role. 

“Reaching my potential in whatever 

role I play is the key,’’ Childs 

noted. “And, it’s important to absorb 

the life lessons that one can 

learn from athletics. Becoming a 

leader and being responsible are 

solid lessons to be learned. Sports 

also build confidence.’’ 

Caller her father (Rich) a 

role model for his support and 

encouragement, Childs is looking 

forward to a solid basketball 

campaign that will lead to a new 

experience at BU. 

“I’ve enjoyed my friends, and 

I’ve built great relationships at 

Medway High,’’ she said. “It’ll 

be sad to not play volleyball and 

basketball again at Medway, but 

I’m excited and happy that a new 

chapter will be unfolding after I 

graduate.’’

Millis-Hopedale Hockey Co-Op Now a Five-School Mix 


Last year the Hopedale- 

Millis hockey team earned their 

first tournament appearance in 

their five-year existence of the 

program. After going 10-9-1, 

Hopedale-Millis earned a six 

seed in the Division 3A Central 

Tournament, but unfortunately 

lost to Grafton, the eventual Division 

3 State Champion, 2-1 in 

double overtime. 

decent numbers, but in order to 

be successful, we needed to build 

a junior varsity team that would 

act as our feeder program.” 

LaBossiere said being the 

coach of the five schools that are 

involved in the program is a lot 

of work, but he sees the progress 

moving forward on the ice. 

“It’s not an easy thing to 

manage five Athletic Directors, 

making sure they communicate 

with the athletes. It’s hard 

“As an eighth grader, Colin 

played on the junior varsity 

team, but didn’t really see that 

much action that first year,” 

LaBossiere said. “The next two 

years he played with the varsity 

team, but it was last year that he 

really emerged as one of our top 

defenders.” 

Sanchioni, a junior defender, 

has been with the team since his 

freshman year while another junior, 

Drew O’Reilly, has played 

forward for both the JV and 

Varsity squads. On the JV team 

O’Reilly found himself as a top 

line forward, but when he suited 

up for the varsity team he skated 

on the third line. LaBossiere is 

hoping that this year he can step 

his game up and step into one of 

the top two lines for the Raiders. 

As a first-year defender last 

winter, Brooks found himself 

bouncing between the JV and 

Varsity teams, this year he’s 

going to be looked upon to take 

his game to the next level. 

“In addition to his defensive 

game, he is also a very good offensive 

threat,” the coach said. 

“With a ton of defensemen, we 

may need to move some up to 

play offense, and he may be one 

of those individuals.” 

LaBossiere is hoping that the 

five-town squad came come together 

sooner than later and 

make another run at the tournament, 

and the Millis players will 

be a key component to the Raiders’ 

success. 

The Millis-Hopedale hockey connection that began five years ago is 

entering its sixth year with players from Milford (added last year), and 

this year, from Douglas and Whitinsville-Christian. The added schools 

may draw the depth of players needed to see tournament play again 

this year. 

Your Vision; 

Our Mission 

After having their best season 

with 10 wins, the squad graduated 

only two seniors and should 

be in good shape to get back to 

the tournament this upcoming 

season. 

“We lost two seniors, but they 

were big parts to our team,” 

Coach Greg LaBossiere said. 

“We are still looking to get further 

this season and go deeper 

into the tournament t than we 

did last year.” 

Now in the sixth year of existence, 

the Raiders have added 

Douglas and Whitinsville-Christian 

as well as Milford last year 

to the co-op program, giving 

them the added depth the bigger 

schools already have in their 

hockey program. 

“We’ve had a great relationship 

with football (Hopedale 

and Millis) and being able to 

add Milford has really helped. 

Being so close to one another 

a lot of the kids were friends 

already,” the Coach said. “As a 

team, we’ve continued to have 

enough to deal with one, never 

mind five,” he said. “When I 

first took over this program, we 

had some big personalities on 

the team that were already set 

in their ways. It’s tough to mold 

the older kids, but through the 

years, the younger kids bought 

into our system, and we have 

continued to grow.” 

This past year, the new program 

was to get new uniforms, 

so LaBossiere looked to his team 

for input. The players decided 

on a red, white and blue uniform 

with the Raider emblem on the 

front of their jersey. Looking 

to wear the new jerseys with 

pride from Millis will be Colin 

Burgess, Peter Sanchioni, Drew 

O’Reilly, Craig Brooks and John 

Manning. 

Burgess, a senior this year, 

will be suiting up for Hopedale- 

Millis for his final campaign. 

The senior defender has been 

skating for the team since eighth 

grade and according to his 

coach has improved immensely.

Register O’Donnell Hosts 

Computer Seminar 

Continuing his efforts to provide 

outreach to Norfolk County 

communities, Register of Deeds 

William P. O’Donnell recently 

hosted a free informational seminar 

on computer assisted land 

record research. 

At the seminar, attendees 

learned how to navigate the Registry’s 

online research page www. 

norfolkdeeds.org and to access 

documents such as deeds, mortgage 

discharges, Homesteads 

and other land related materials. 

The Norfolk County Registry of 

Deeds state-of-the-art computer 

system has more than 6 million 

land document images available 

for viewing, dating back to 1793. 

Register O’Donnell noted, 

“We are very proud that all of 

our land documents are online 

and are accessible within 24 

business hours of recording. The 

feedback we have received from 

attendees indicates these computer 

seminars are very useful for 

real estate professionals, genealogists 

and members of the general 

public alike.” 

For further information, you 

can contact Alicia Gardner at 

(781) 461-6104 or at agardner@ 

norfolkdeeds.org.

Client Testimonial to Robin & Mark Spangenberg. 

“My husband and I recently have taken on the challenge of searching 

for our first home. We had so many questions and didn’t know exactly 

where to start. We were referred to Robin and Mark by a close friend. 

We had a long list of ‘must haves’ and ‘wish-we-hads’. Robin and Mark 

looked at this list and helped us view many great houses and in the end 

helped us find a perfect house! They listened to our needs and helped 

us understand the buying process. (They gave us mortgage people, 

inspection people, lawyer options and more). I would highly recommend 

this amazing couple for any house searching needs.”
